A.J. Brown

NegativeValue9:00

AJ Brown is a recommended buy-low trade target for winning teams (3-0 or 2-1 records) because he is nearing the end of his recovery timeline and offers significant late-season upside. Now that he is three weeks removed from his injury, he has reached a low point in trade value. Managers should look to package depth pieces like Emeka Egbuka or sell high on players like Terry McLaurin to acquire him.

Insight page

Brock Bowers

PositiveValue0:14

Brock Bowers was a primary target for an injury-discount buy-low trade last week, with the speaker noting they were aggressively trying to acquire him in trades involving Christian Watson and Dalton Kincaid. He is no longer considered a buy-low candidate as he has already returned to action.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

NegativeValue11:38

Carnell Tate is a buy-low candidate as a stud rookie who has yet to produce. He is ranked as the WR35, but expectations should be tempered due to the poor performance of the Tennessee Titans offense. He is best acquired as a throw-in piece in trades.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveUsage1:48

Chase Brown is a high-volume buy-low candidate who has maintained a consistent role, playing 72% of snaps in Week 1, 70% in Week 2, and 70% in Week 3, totaling over 60 touches this season. Despite the heavy usage and receiving upside, he has only one touchdown, which is an extreme outlier given the Bengals' offensive success. His recent performances of 11 and 9 fantasy points are his worst in 17 games, signaling a prime 'generational' buy-low opportunity.

Insight page

Emeka Egbuka

NegativeValue9:33

Emeka Egbuka is suggested as a viable trade piece to move in packages to acquire higher-upside injured players like AJ Brown for teams that are currently winning.

Insight page

George Pickens

PositiveUsage5:22

George Pickens is a strong buy-low candidate due to his high volume and lack of touchdown luck; he recorded 25 targets through the first three weeks without a single touchdown. He remains in a high-scoring offense and has a proven track record, having finished as the WR6 in fantasy points per game (17.1) the previous year. The current lack of production is expected to revert to the mean.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

NegativeProjection7:13

Despite a disappointing start with only 17 targets through three games, Williams' current struggles are likely sample size noise; he maintains strong usage with 80%+ snap shares and 30+ routes per game, suggesting positive regression is possible.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

NegativeValue5:15

Javonte Williams is suggested as a player to sell in a trade pivot, specifically as part of a package to acquire Chase Brown.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

NegativeValue11:52

Jeremiah Love was highlighted as a buy-low rookie candidate in the previous week, serving as a historical comparison for the current strategy of buying low on underperforming rookies.

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

PositiveSleeper10:16

Jordan Tyson is a recommended waiver wire pickup and buy-low candidate. He is roughly six weeks into a projected two-month hamstring injury recovery, meaning he should be returning to the field relatively soon to join a high-performing New Orleans Saints offense.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeRole10:54

The outlook for Josh Jacobs has worsened following news that a judge denied an appeal to keep a video of an alleged incident private, meaning the video could potentially be leaked to the NFL or the public, increasing uncertainty regarding his return.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

NegativeInjury9:38

Justin Jefferson is currently dealing with an injury that is negatively impacting the speaker's own fantasy team performance.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

NegativeValue10:01

Terry McLaurin is suggested as a sell-high candidate coming off a big game, specifically as a piece to trade away to acquire AJ Brown.

Insight page

Tetairoa McMillan

PositiveBreakout1:41

Tetairoa McMillan is a high-upside target following Jaylen Coker's injury; he previously commanded a 25% target share as a rookie and is expected to see a high volume of targets in the Carolina offense, similar to the role Garrett Wilson occupies for the Jets. He was a frequent fourth-round draft pick for the speaker, who is monitoring his performance in Carolina hoping for a turnaround, and he was recently traded for Jeremiah Love in the Flock league.

Insight page

Travis Etienne

NegativeInjury9:39

Travis Etienne is currently dealing with an injury that is negatively impacting the speaker's own fantasy team performance.

0:00Last week we bucketed off our B low
0:02candidates into a couple different
0:03areas. The first bucket was the high
0:06volume players that hadn't been scoring
0:08fantasy points. Those were Chase Brown,
0:10George Pickins. Then the second bucket
0:12were those injury discount players that
0:14I wanted to keep on the radar, obviously
0:16Brock Bowers. Now, if y'all remember,
0:18the deal that I was this close to having
0:20in the flock league last week. It was
0:22accepted through text and then the owner
0:24backed out 5 minutes later was I almost
0:26sent Christian Watson and Daltton
0:28Concaid for Brock Bowers and Rasheed
0:30Rice. Really wanted to aggressively
0:31targeted Brock Bowers in those trades
0:33last week. Then we had our injured
0:36guys/suspended just making sure they
0:38stay on the radar with AJ Brown, Josh
0:40Jacobs, Jordan Tyson. And then we had
0:43our rookies that of course we are just
0:45waiting to break out like Jeremiah Love
0:47and Carnell Tate. Now I'll be honest, we
0:50can't talk about Brock Bowers again. He
0:52already came back. There's no buying
0:53low. Uh we can't talk about Jeremiah
0:55Love again because uh the time to buy
0:58him was last week when in the Flockley
1:01he was traded for Tedoa McMillan who may
1:04make this video. But I will revisit some
1:06of these other names on the list.
1:08Starting off with Chase Brown. So Chase
1:10Brown fell into that bucket as a week 2
1:12bo candidate just given the fact that he
1:15had been seeing a tremendous amount of
1:17volume in Cincinnati and he had the
1:19exact role that you want. However, he
1:21just hasn't really been scoring fantasy
1:24points with that role, right? We can go
1:26through and we can look at Chase Brown.
1:27In the first two weeks, he played 72% of
1:30the snaps. He had 22 total
1:32opportunities. In week two, he had uh
1:3570% of the snaps with 25 total
1:38opportunities. And in week three against
1:40the Pittsburgh Steelers, yet again, he
1:42had 70% of the snaps with 15
1:45opportunities. So, I look at this Chase
1:47Brown usage. I look at this Chase Brown
1:49profile and you go, you know what? It's
1:52only a matter of time until he
1:54absolutely smashes as a running back,
1:56one in fantasy football. Like
1:58realistically right now, if just off the
2:00top of my head, we do a little bit of
2:02math here, this looks to be a running
2:04back that's had over 60 touches so far
2:06this season and only one total
2:08touchdown. Now, that is an extreme
2:11outlier considering the fact that if we
2:14go through and look at this Cincinnati
2:15Bengals offense, it's not like the
2:17Bengals have been bad, right? Like they
2:20came out week one, they were able to go
2:22through and score a total of 33 points
2:25against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In
2:27week two, in a tough match up against
2:29the Houston Texans, they scored 20
2:30points. And in week three, they just
2:32scored 27. So, the Cincinnati Bengals
2:35have proven they are a good offense.
2:37Chase Brown has proven he is going to
2:40get the volume and at the same time he
2:42is going to have the receiving usage
2:45that gives him PPR upside. So, if you
2:48combine all of that, this is the exact
2:50profile of a running back that you want.
2:52Chase Brown scored 11 and nine fantasy
2:55points over the past two weeks. If we go
2:57back and look at his last 17 games on
3:00flockfantasy.com,
3:01those were his two worst performances
3:04since week seven of last season. So,
3:06Chase Brown generational boow moment. I
3:09mean, if you could go through and try to
3:12trade Bashell Tudin and another wide
3:14receiver to get him, if you could try to
3:15sell Javvante Williams and a small piece
3:18to get to him, I think that those would
3:20be perfect pivots. Now, another name
3:22that was on that buy low video last week
3:24that I think we can revisit is going to
3:26be George Pickins. With George Pickins
3:28here, it's very, very simple. The reason
3:31we wanted to buy him after the first two
3:32weeks this season where he had only
3:34scored about 15 points through two weeks
3:37was he had the volume. He had the exact
3:39role that he did the year prior and
3:42obviously the year prior for Pickkins,
3:44he was the wide receiver six in fantasy
3:46points per game with 17.1. Now, if we
3:50look at what's just happened this past
3:52week against the Baltimore Ravens, this
3:54was a massive shootout, right? It's not
3:56like this Dallas Cowboys offense showed
3:59anything at any point of why we should
4:02be concerned about them. No, it's
4:04actually quite the opposite. This Dallas
4:06Cowboys offense just continues to um
4:09produce 31 points against the Ravens, 37
4:12against the Commanders, 20 against the
4:15New York Giants. So, we have another
4:17player in a good high-scoring offense
4:19that has proven production in the past
4:22that's seeing a tremendous amount of
4:24volume and just hasn't had the touchdown
4:26luck so far. Like George Pickins had 25
4:29targets the first three weeks. He scored
4:31no touchdown. That is going to revert to
4:32the mean. So, I'm 100% wanted to go
4:35through and buy the dip on Mr. Pickkins.
4:38Now, going over to a new name that we
4:40have on this list. That new name is
4:42going to be Tedoa McMillan. So, very
4:45interesting to look at Tet here. This is
4:48a wide receiver that I actually drafted
4:51a ton in round four of fantasy drafts
4:53this season and I'm really hoping that
4:55he comes through and turns things around
4:57in Carolina. It's honestly surprising to
5:01see how good this Carolina Panthers
5:03offense has been. Now, of course, I will
5:05be honest here. A lot of this is due to
5:08the fact that they do have a really good
5:09matchup against the Detroit Lions this
5:11upcoming week with the projections that
5:13I'm about to pull up. But if we go over
5:15and look at current market numbers for
5:18the Carolina Panthers playing against
5:20the Detroit Lions at home right now, we
5:23actually have the Carolina Panthers
5:25projected to score 23 and a half points
5:27in this game and the overunder of this
5:29game's 50 and a half. So Carolina has
5:32been a good offense so far this season.
5:34The projections don't seem like they are
5:36changing their mind on that anytime
5:38soon. Those numbers are on Poly Market
5:40US. Of course, if you wanted to check
5:42out any of those market numbers, like
5:44the fact that the Carolina Panthers have
5:46a 36% chance to win this game, you can
5:48find that link in the description. You
5:50can find that link in the comment
5:51section. If you sign up with promo code
5:53flock, you are going to get $50 added to
5:56your account after you deposit your
5:58first 10. If we are projecting going
6:00into the future for the target share of
6:03McMillan here, I think it's going to be
6:05very, very high. He had 25% of the
6:08Carolina Panthers targets in his first
6:10NFL season as a rookie. And in his
6:13second year, that number's been down at
6:1621%. Right. Big reason for this is
6:19Jaylen Coker through the first two
6:20weeks, he looked great. Jaylen Coker
6:22looked like he was the dude. And then in
6:24week three, you had a really tough
6:26assignment for Tedo McMillan having to
6:28go up against Denzel Ward. And Bryce
6:30Young just simply didn't want to attack
6:31that. Bryce Young just simply did not
6:33look in that direction. But he is a
6:35young improving player. The offense
6:37looks to be better than we initially
6:39thought. And now that Jaylen Coker's
6:41down, I wouldn't be surprised at all if
6:43Ted McMillan turns into something that
6:46looks very similar to Garrett Wilson,
6:48right? Where Garrett Wilson is in a New
6:50York Jets offense, which yeah, the Jets
6:52have been overperforming so far this
6:54year. There's still probably not a great
6:56offense, similar in Carolina, but both
6:59these guys are talented and they are
7:01just going to get almost every single
7:03target in set offense because there
7:05aren't a ton of other weapons that can
7:07live up to the same talent level that
7:08they have. Now, going over to a couple
7:11deeper names here, I'm leading us off
7:13with Jameson Williams. I will
7:16acknowledge I am extremely biased. I
7:20have Jameson Williams on my fantasy
7:21team. He has scored
7:2510 points in zero games so far this
7:27season. I'm currently sitting at one and
7:29two. My first time ever having a losing
7:32record in this league. And Jameson
7:34Williams is a big reason for that. It's
7:36been horrendous. And this is an offense
7:37in which the Detroit Lions, they've been
7:40throwing the ball a lot. They've been
7:41putting points up on the board. And JO
7:44hasn't had a ton of volume either. He's
7:46only had 17 targets through the first
7:48three games this season. But if we
7:51compare that to what we had with the two
7:52seasons prior, last year Jameson
7:54Williams had six targets a game. The
7:57year before that he had 6.1. Both very
8:00similar to what we are seeing this
8:01season. And both of those years he had
8:03almost double the amount of points per
8:05game as what he's looking at right this
8:07second. So I think that if anything,
8:10this is really just sample size noise on
8:13why Jameson Williams has been so
8:15disappointing so far this year. I'm not
8:17expecting a 25year-old wide receiver to
8:20all of a sudden become a less efficient
8:22all of a sudden become a worse
8:24playmaking option at this age. So maybe
8:27this is just cope. I'm really hoping we
8:29get some of these 20 plus point games
8:32soon. It's been absolutely brutal, but I
8:35have faith he's still out there for 80
8:37plus% of the snaps every game. He's
8:39still running 30 plus routes per game.
8:42This Lions offense gonna have a lot of
8:44passing yards and hopefully not every
8:47single ball goes in the direction of Jir
8:49Gibbs and Aman Ross St. Brown for
8:50eternity. Now we can revisit some of
8:53these other names that we talked about
8:54in last video with AJ Brown, Josh
8:57Jacobs, Jordan Tyson, Carnell. The AG
8:59Brown update is I want to remind you we
9:02are one week further removed from his
9:04injury. So while I was saying right
9:06after he got injured, hey, do not trade
9:08for him, right? If anything, if you have
9:10a bad team, you may want to trade him
9:11away. Now that we are in week four, we
9:14are three weeks removed. Again, this is
9:17kind of that low point in value where
9:19he's not coming back anytime soon, so
9:21nobody's that excited, but you've
9:23already gone through a decent duration
9:24of the time that he's going to miss. So,
9:26I would be putting out those feelers for
9:29AJ Brown. Like, as an example, I have a
9:33Mecha Eggbuka on my own fantasy team. If
9:35I was a good team, if I wasn't dealing
9:38with the Jefferson injury, the Tyson
9:39injury, the Travis CTN injury, the fact
9:43my quarterbacks asked, I would love to
9:45trade Ibuka and try to pivot over to AJ
9:48Brown for that late season upside. If
9:50you have a winning record, if you have
9:52those depth pieces and you could sell a
9:54wide receiver too like Ibuka and move
9:56over to AJ Brown, it would make a ton of
9:59sense. If you could go and sell like
10:01Terry McLaren coming off a big game for
10:04AJ Brown, I think that would make a ton
10:05of sense. Again, I want to reiterate
10:08that those are in your leagues where you
10:10are 3 and 0. Those are in your leagues
10:11where you are 2 and one. You want
10:13nothing to do to trade for the injured
10:14player when you have a winning record. I
10:16would also throw Jordan Tyson in a very
10:18similar mold there. Jordan Tyson not
10:20coming back this week. We're not going
10:22to get any news about Jordan Tyson, but
10:25I mean, they told us he was going to be
10:27missing two months with this injured
10:29hamstring. And that was about 6 weeks
10:31ago. So, we've already gone through the
10:34large duration of that injury.
10:36Hopefully, for the sake of my team, we
10:38get Jordan Tyson back relatively soon.
10:41This New Orleans Saints offense looks
10:43great. I review a lot of your fantasy
10:45teams every single night on the live
10:47stream on this channel. Jordan Tyson's
10:49on the waiverwire in a lot of your
10:51leagues. Honestly, I would go ahead and
10:53pick him up if I were you. And then with
10:54the suspended player of Josh Jacobs,
10:57I'll be honest, since the last bo that
11:00we made, in my opinion, we got some
11:02pretty bad news. And that was the Josh
11:05Jacobs video of his garage of the
11:08alleged incident. The judge denied the
11:11appeal for that video did not ever
11:12surface for the public. They wanted to
11:14lock it away, bury it 10 feet
11:16underground, and the judge said, "No, if
11:18the NFL wants to see it, they can see
11:20it." If TMZ wants to try to buy the
11:23video from somebody and get it leaked,
11:25that can happen. So, I am less
11:28optimistic about Josh Jacobs coming back
11:30in comparison to where I was a week ago.
11:32Obviously, we gave that update in the
11:34live stream the second that that news
11:36did drop. And then lastly with Carnell
11:38Tate. Again, I think that it is a good
11:43practice in general for these stud
11:46rookies to be looking at buying them a
11:49few weeks into the season when they
11:50haven't done anything. This is why we
11:52had Jeremiah Love as that buy low
11:54candidate last week. And with Tate, I
11:57don't hate the idea of going out there
11:59and seeing if you can get him added in
12:01as a low and wide receiver three, high
12:03and wide receiver four. I have him as my
12:06wide receiver 35 in my rankings right
12:08now. The problem is the Tennessee Titans
12:11offense is so damn bad that you can't
12:13sit here and get overly optimistic about
12:16Tate. But if you could get him as a
12:17throwin, I think it would make a lot of
12:19sense. But I think that's all I got for
12:20you in this video. I really appreciate
12:22you. I really hope I was able to help
12:23you out in some way. I hope that your
12:25fantasy football team is better than
12:27mine is this year. And I hope I get to
12:29see you out in the live stream later
