0:00All right, I made another tiny trade in the Flock League. So, y'all know my quarterback situation has been horrific.
0:07Literally the worst thing you could ever imagine. I drafted Drake May and I've started him through the first three weeks and I have learned my lesson the
0:14hard way, the hardest way possible. Um, losing the last two weeks primarily due to Drake May. I mean, that's even a
0:23bigger reason than our Justin Jefferson or Travis CTN injuries.
0:28And now I've been making plays for quarterbacks. So I picked up Kyler Murray for $5 fab going up against the Miami Dolphins. Then what ended up
0:38happening? We got news today that Justin Jefferson was going to be missing this Miami game. And without Justin Jefferson, I'm going to be honest, I
0:49have no interest in starting Kyler Murray. So, what I decided to do at that point is I decided, all right, well, let
0:55me go spend $10 FAB. Actually, I think it was $20 FAB, which keep in mind, I have like 1,200, so it's 1.5% of my FAB
1:05budget. And went and picked up Bryce Young. The team that had him was going to cut him anyway, right? So, essentially, it was the same as me
1:11picking him up off the waiver wire. And thanking, oh, Bryce Young plays against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have allowed the most points to opposing
1:21quarterbacks so far this season. Y'all can actually see this. I don't know if y'all have this on flockfantasy.com yet or if it's just for the creators, but if
1:30you go to the research section of flockfantasy.com and you hit schedule here, you can actually go through and see the
1:38best matchups per position based on the upcoming schedule. So like here's an example. This is the strength to schedule tool on fogfantasy.com. This is
1:47the reason I wanted Bryce Young. We look at week four and the Detroit Lions through the first three weeks have been
1:54allowing 30 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, which is the number one mark in the NFL.
2:02Now, I thought Bryce Young in a six-point passing touchdown format would have been a good pickup for this week targeting this matchup. However, what we
2:10just got now is we just got word that it looks like the weather may be pretty bad in this Sunday game for the Carolina
2:19Panthers versus the Detroit Lions and they may end up having to run the ball.
2:23So, if that happens, like I'm gonna have to go back over here and I'm gonna have to look at a different streaming quarterback. We have
2:31cycled through Kyler and then Jefferson getting ruled out makes him not interesting. over to Bryce Young. And if the rain does end up happening, he won't
2:41be nearly as interesting. And we may have to cycle to a third quarterback, which I will say there are a few
2:48interesting streamers off the waiverwire as well. Um, with the next few best matchups, like um CJ Strad would be a very quality streamer. The Texans
2:57project score like 25 and a half points and the Dallas Cowboys have allowed the third most points um to the quarterback
3:04position so far this year. But another thing that you can do here with this strength of schedule school um tool is
3:11you can schedule adjust it as well. What takes into account the type of quarterbacks that they had played. So there you can actually go through and it
3:22doesn't ma matter that that much when we're looking at a smaller sample like right now. But still um I am super
3:30excited about this for my own fantasy team. I'm going to be using it for DSTs a ton. Like right now we can see the New
3:36Orleans Saints have the best DST matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, but that was also because you had no Cooper Rush.
3:42And then the Green Bay Packers are a very good streamer against Tampa. But yeah, I'm super excited to continue to use this. And again, the strength of
3:50schedule here is why you definitely need to jam Josh Downs against the Commanders. But regardless, I will keep youall posted if I end up needing to
3:59stream a separate quarterback and pivot over to CJ Strad. But let me go through and let's look at your fantasy football
4:07teams. Answer your fantasy football questions. This is from Start Digging.
4:12Twin says, "Not really sure where to go with this team. It feels pretty good, but barely getting 100 points last week did
4:21not make me feel great." So, you have the second best team in this league according to the league analyzer. I'll say first things first, man. At this
4:29point, to be completely honest with you, you should go through and anybody who's watching this right now, if you have Mai
4:37Lemon on your waiverwire, Mai Lemon is 100% somebody that needs to be rostered.
4:45Like, I understand that he's been very disappointing. I understand that he hasn't done anything at all at this point, but at the same time,
4:57like you're now in a setup with no Devont Smith that this team's going to be desperate for weapons. And I think
5:04there's a damn good chance that we end up seeing Mai Lemon actually with an expanded role this week with no Smith. round one talent, very appealing
5:15prospect profile as well. I would say when you're looking at a team that's this strong, man, it's a 10 team league
5:22where you start three wide receivers um at the very most two wide receivers and one flex. There's no world in which
5:29you're ever starting like Keenan Allen on this team over St. Brown, Pickkins, and then obviously you have Addison to fill in for Jefferson. So, even though
5:37Keenan Allen may be higher than Mai Limit in my weekly rankings, in terms of rest of season ranks, I think I would probably prefer to
5:48roster Mai Lemon here over Keenan.
5:50though. Go ahead cuts Keenan Allen pick up Mai Lemon. Then going through and looking at where we stand with
6:02um other potential moves like at quarterback having Drake May and Brock Party puts you in a little bit of an awkward spot because you're not going to
6:10be able to go through and you're not going to be able to sell Drake May for a bag of chips at this
6:22point. Nobody will take them.
6:33And you can't sell Brock Purdy because obviously you need to start him here over May.
6:39I'm just trying to think through this here, my friend.
6:50I think you have a damn good team. I would make that waiverwire pivot and honestly I don't think I would do
6:56anything else. You have Genty Javvante to start with volume if you wanted to go to like the Bree Hall or Alvin Kamara
7:04owner like I don't know if this team is still even playing in this league to be completely honest because as we pull
7:11their squad up I mean they have no Breeze Hall. Their two running backs that are starting this week are Marshall Lloyd Taji Spears. If you have Brilan
7:19Allen on the bench, if you have Alvin Kamar on the bench, it can't hurt to shoot them over a message and see if
7:26they would be interested in going through and trying to grab one of those guys.
7:44Let me see if there are any other teams that are desperate for running back production. Yeah, like this team starting Radre Stevenson or Jaori
7:50Crossarit this week. I think this is another spot in which I would be very much interested. Is there a way that you
7:56could go through and offer them Alvin Kamara plus a piece for an upgrade at wide receiver?
8:05Could you try to send them the combination of I don't know. I mean, JSN's really the only upgrade that you could even have on
8:15that your team's just so much better than theirs. Maybe that's actually not even possible.
8:20This team has Jaylen Warren that is startable. But yeah, essentially the only trade that I would potentially see on your roster is there is a world in
8:27which somebody's willing to give you something for Brillin Allen, somebody's willing to give you something for Olly Gordon, somebody's willing to give you
8:33something for Alvin Kamara. And in that scenario, like you don't need them. So, I would like to go ahead and trade them, but I
8:44really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this, my friend.
8:50But let me go over and let's look at this next question that we have. And this is going to be from
9:00Peewee, who says, "I'm 3 and 0, second most points, but injuries and team value are falling apart."
9:10I don't think there's really a lot I can do at the moment, but wait and hope that one of these handcuffs hit. Just wanted
9:15your opinion. Thank you for the content.
9:17Love your channel. I really appreciate you, my guy. And I am excited to look at this. So, we're 3 and 0. We had the
9:26Travis CTN injury. We have the Mike Evans injury. But here's the and you had the Jaden Daniels injury. But here's the
9:32deal, man. Your team's not bad.
9:36Like obviously we're streaming quarterbacks until Daniels comes back.
9:39CJ Shroud's a great streaming option.
9:41Like realistically there's a chance that I'm going through and streaming CJ Shroud as well this week to be completely honest with you.
9:52And if we go over and look at where you stand at running back, while yeah, you have no Travis CTN Brilen Allen
10:00is an automatic jam right this second.
10:05So you have the fill in quarterback here in the short term.
10:09You have the fill in running back here in the short term.
10:13Wide receiver, the Evans injury hurts. I actually don't think it's a super clear play on what you do here. You probably play Keenan
10:23because he has a good matchup this week.
10:25I would be stressing way more about these injuries if you didn't have just clear plugandplay names.
10:33And if you weren't three and 0, like three and 0 teams, I actually think that if you could go out there and trade for
10:41Travis ETN at a completely free cost, trade for Bree at a completely free cost, I would like to do so if like you're not dealing
10:52with any injuries yourself.
10:55But here you have ETN, you have Evans. I think you just wait, man. I think that
11:04you have a really, really good setup.
11:08And then I the only potential note that I would have is I don't know what the upside is with Trey Harris now that the
11:14Los Angeles Chargers are a horrific offense. So I think I may rather have Chris Godwin, Trey Tucker, Roman Wilson than Trey Harris to be honest. But I
11:24really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this, my friend.
11:30Now, let me go over to our next question here. It's going to be from Willie Sooner says, "Hey, Mason." Okay, I'm
11:37going to save this. This is a Dynasty team, my friend. I'm going to save the Dynasty teams for a minute.
11:43This one from Warren says, "Wondering what you think of my squad. I'm worried with my running back health and also ability.
11:51Should Omega trader stay put with who I have? Love the content, brother. Really appreciate you, my guy, and excited to look at this for you as well. So, let's
12:02pull this up. You are closer to the bottom of the league analyzer. So, here's the problem. You have both the injury to Bree as well as Travis ETN at
12:12the same time. So obviously with this you are going to be put into a pretty difficult situation in general
12:20but with that in mind like you do have Chuba Hubard who without Jonathan Brooks Chuba Hubard's an automatic jam. You
12:31also have Brilan Allen who you can very easily just fill in that Bree Hall spot until Bree comes back. So you do have
12:40two fillins here for the short term.
12:42Going over to receiver, we have Watson, St. Brown, Rice, Tedoya, McMillan. Four startable receivers. It's a league in which realistically with it being a
12:52superflex format, you're only ever really starting three receivers at the most. And then quarterback, you have Burrow, Darnold, Gino, and if anything,
13:00Darnold, now that they have no running backs in his back field, probably is going to be throwing the ball a little
13:06bit more.
13:10So, I really like where you stand with this, man. I think that this is a wellbalanced format. If I were going to
13:18look at changing anything here, I would say that like maybe I have Xavier Worthy on my own fantasy team. Xavier Worthy
13:27coming off a game where he just had two targets. The efficiency is horrific with Worthy right now. 0.67 yards per route run. I'm actually
13:35cutting him off of my own team. um off I have a waiverwire claim in cutting
13:49him and I am picking up an undisclosed player I don't want to tip my hand with um I don't necessarily think you need to
13:57go after the same guy that I am because you don't need to start here in the short term but I would be optimizing
14:06for long-term upside here So, I would say like Calumn Black gives you more long-term upside than what you're going to get with Xavier Worthy just in case
14:14you were to see an injury to CMC. So, one and two team. If you had
14:26like nobody at running back, I would say, you know what, man? It's time for us to make a desperation move. It's time
14:33for us to go through and honestly like trade away Bree Hall, trade away Travis CTN for peanuts, but because you
14:45have pivots that are clearly represented here in the short term, I don't necessarily think that you need to go through and make any trades. I would
14:57just optimize the bottom end of the bench to hopefully give ourselves a realistic chance to be able to go through and hit on another running back
15:06like how you hit on Brillin Allen or like how you potentially even hit on Juba Hubard. But yeah, I really appreciate you and hope I was able to
15:15help you out in some way with this. I think you are going to be in a fine spot here though to be honest.
15:21Okay, now let's go over to our next question. It's going to be from Ash Ketchum. trading away JSN for McCaffrey and a lav. It is always an incredibly
15:31difficult spot to tell somebody to trade away Jackson Smith and Jigba. Clearly the wide receiver wanted in fantasy.
15:38Nobody is coming close. But with that being said, man, it's a 14 team format.
15:44You're getting McAffrey and a lav in a 14 team league. So in that spot, you probably got to go ahead and do it.
15:54Now, Kendall with our next question says, "I used the Flock draft extension tool to draft my team with the expert rankings and I went from being ranked
16:03number one in my league to now second to last." All right, let's see who did we have. So, a big big thing that looks
16:11like it ended up happening is we had obviously the Jackson Dart injury nuking the value of Malik Neighbors and on top
16:20of that you have the problem in which Amari and Hampton and the Los Angeles Chargers just look so much worse. So,
16:27obviously I would say these are probably the two biggest followers that you've had in rankings. like Neighbors went from being ranked 19th before the dart
16:36injury down to now I have him at 43rd.
16:39The expert average rank has him at 40th.
16:42And looking at Amari and Hampton before this season the expert average ranks had him anywhere from 13 to 14 and he has
16:49just gotten nuked down to 31. Um I have him down at 35 in my rank. So I have have him even a little bit lower. So I
16:57am super sorry to see that my friend.
17:00But going through quarterback, we are currently sitting with Patrick Mahomes.
17:04Obviously, Elite, super excited to have him. Nothing to discuss here. Uh running back, we have McCaffrey, RB1. I'm very excited to have CMC RB1. And I'll be
17:15honest, uh, Marian Hampton, while he is super disappointing, I don't want to stress too much about having Abarian Hampton running back too,
17:25definitely don't think he's an RB1 that he was drafted to be. But as your running back too, I think he is
17:31a-ok. Okay. Baky Irving, running back three, looks pretty damn good as well.
17:37Wide receiver, we have Neighbors, J Rome, Mai Lemon, Brian Thomas. Oh, Brian Thomas obviously got absolutely nuked in comparison to where he was in the
17:45rankings before the season as well. Um, which there's nothing that changed here other than him just looking horrific.
17:51But yeah, before the season he was at 60th to 65th and then now he has dropped down to like 128. Nobody has lost as
17:59much value as he has. But across the board, I mean, if we were looking at this, I would say the big thing is you
18:06have to try to sell any long-term value that you have for short-term production here, right? Because you're 0 and three, so we need points right this second.
18:16Now, it is much much easier said than done to do this. So, please feel free to completely ignore me here and roll your
18:25eyes and go, "M, Mason, I know my league mates, there's no way in hell that they would trade for Josh Jacobs." But if
18:31you're 0 and3, I definitely think that you should be going through and approaching your league mates and asking like, "Hey, is there any interesting
18:41receiver at all that we could get to by sending away Josh Jacobs and a receiver like Roma Dunay?" Right? Like if you could go from
18:52Jacobs and Rome and somehow get over to Tedo McMillan, um this would be just an absolute smash. Again, much much much
19:01easier said than done. The reality of the situation is you're probably looking at a trade like this resulting in um I don't know, let's pull up the list
19:12of wide receivers. you're probably looking at selling Jacobs and Roma and instead getting back somebody like Matthew Golden and that may be even too
19:21rich of an ask. But if you're 0 and3, I think you just have to find a way to leverage any value that you could
19:31potentially get out of any of your guys that they're not going to give you production in the short term and send
19:37them to like a 3 and 0 team. Send them to a two-1 team. a team that can afford to think about long-term upside for us
19:44to be able to get some help with the short-term production. Now, again, much easier said than done here, but that would be the move that I would be trying
19:54to make.
19:57Now, um, in terms of waiverwire pivots, there's not much that we can look at to be completely honest, but I really do
20:06appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.
20:12Now, Mavium with our next question says, "Currently one and two. We lost Devon Aan hurting at running back and no trading off a wide receiver plus would
20:21be good, but not sure who I should shoot for. Any other moves to make? It is a small league, so waiverss are bountiful.
20:30Yeah, it's an eight team format. So here in general, just two for one deals, three for one deals will always be
20:37advantageous because you can always go to the waiverwire and pick up value for completely free. You can always backfill depth at an incredibly cheap cost. We
20:47can see this with both Kyle Manungai as well as Jordan Addison sitting out there on the waiverwire for you right now.
20:54Now, looking at quarterback, we do have Bryce Young. I have Bryce Young on my own fantasy team as well, man. I
21:01actually just traded for Bryce Young. I gave up like $20 fab for him. And I'll be honest, there is a chance that I am
21:09going to be changing over to a different streaming quarterback. And the reason for that is going to be the Carolina weather. So, this will be something to
21:20be on the lookout for. Obviously, I always say this days in advance. You don't want to be stressing too much about weather because the weatherman
21:27gets things wrong constantly, right?
21:30So, um but that will be something to monitor, especially in an eight team format where you do have plenty of other
21:37options. I would say in an eight team league um there's no world in which in at least in my opinion you ever need to
21:46go through and really build around like you never really need to start Isaiah likely I think I would may I may prefer the
21:56upside of Jaden Daniels like especially if you have Brock Bowers here. Let me look at the other tight ends that you
22:02have on waiverss. You have other strong tight end options on your waiver wire.
22:08like Kenyan Sadi, Dalton Schultz. So, what I may look at doing in this setup is I may cut Isaiah likely and pick up
22:19Jaden Daniels instead. Obviously, um I have Isaiah likely ranked ahead of Jaden. So, like my rankings would say
22:28not to do it, but in this very weird situation where you are streaming quarterbacks in an eight team league and Daniels could realistically give you
22:39some upside here.
22:41I wouldn't fault you for making that move. Running back, we have the combination of Amari and Hampton, Jaylen Warren, RB1, RB2. So, this is by far and
22:51away your worst position. The very easy thing to say, much easier said than done though, is if there were to be a way for
22:59you to go through and cut or I'm sorry, not cut, for you to trade Devonte Adams at a premium cost coming off the insane
23:09production with no puka as well as Amari and Hampton and pivot over and look at a running back that um maybe was drafted
23:18near Amari and Hampton, but his offensive outlook is just so much better. like James Cook, this would be an absolute no-brainer. Like if you
23:26could go through and realistically trade Hampton and Devonte Adams and get over to Chase Brown, this would be a no-brainer in your setup because you
23:35have Pugnakua, Devonte Smith, Neighbors Waddle. And even if you're worried about the short-term injury that you have with Smith, you do have the ability to pivot
23:43over to Jordan Addison off the waiverwire as a short-term option for completely free anyway. So, I would go through personally
23:55and I would see if there's a way you can sell a wide receiver depth piece with Amari and Hampton to kind of save yourself at
24:06running back cuz god dang, the Chargers look horrific. The Amari and Hampton usage is very concerning and I don't know when or
24:15if it will get better here.
24:18But I really do appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this my friend.
24:25Now let me go over to our next question.
24:26This going to be from Kefo says team is 0 and3 went 0 and4 on my early wide receiver picks. Running backs are
24:34carrying me in scoring. Feel like I need to make a move for a receiver but don't know who to trade away. Much love, much
24:40love here, my friend. Let me look at this here. So, yeah, Devont Smith currently injured. Malik Neighbors has his quarterback out for the season. Then
24:50we have Coker injured. Cardinal Tate not producing early as you'd expect from most rookies. Uh Roma Dun absolute complete whiff. Mai Lemon again going to
25:01take some time here. So, yes, we for sure need help at wide receiver. And in general, I know I've said this time and
25:10time again, but if you're 0 and3, I do think you are highly incentivized to do
25:16what you can to sell long-term upside for short-term production.
25:26Now, the problem is while James Cook, Chase Brown are really good, you don't have much running back depth under it. I
25:33guess you could sell Olly Gordon, but what I would be looking at doing is I would be trying to see what value can
25:41you extract out of Devont Smith. Could you send Smith at a discount? you're probably going to have to do so over
25:51in a two for one deal with like Olly Gordon to maybe one of these teams that are three and 0 at the very top and to
25:58see if we can get to an upgrade like on an 0 and3 roster. I could actually see a trade like this making a lot of sense
26:06for both parties. Could you send Devont Smith, get back Garrett Wilson? They don't really need Olly Gordon here.
26:14Maybe you send Mai Lemon with him as well where you send two of the long-term pieces for just a short-term wide
26:22receiver.
26:24Let me see some of the other teams. This seems three and 0. They have T. Higgins.
26:29I would try something similar here with Higgins. Maybe if you can go with Devont Smith, pivot over to T.
26:36Um, let me see if there's another swap you could potentially make. Probably not. I
26:46would be looking at making a minor small pivot like this where you are trying to sell some of these long-term names that
26:55aren't going to produce in the short term.
27:03And see if there's a way that you can just
27:18get similar production and not have to miss a week.
27:27That's what I'd be looking at here, my friend. But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some
27:31way. Now, let me look at this from Tyrone. says, "I would have to drop Stafford. Do we maybe include him in the
27:37deal?" If you're going to drop somebody, it's always easy to just throw them in the deal. It makes no difference for
27:42you. So, I would rather have Jameson Williams over Jadarian Price at this point. Jadarian Price missing this week in health. I mean, there is an outside
27:50chance that you actually do end up getting like Zack Charmin back sooner than we thought, right?
28:00So, I'd rather have GMO. I'd rather have Lamar over Judkins, though. Looking at running back, you have plenty of running back production. Wide receiver, you're
28:09all right. Um, I think this is a fine deal. I think you can go make the move for Lamar. I would then try to sell
28:15Caleb once Caleb comes back, though.
28:18Okay, now going over to this next one from Sauce Hands. Trading away two future first, Xavier Worthy, Trevion, and
28:28Terren Ferg for a Monra.
28:31We are a strong contender on the site.
28:35We have Bejon Swift at running back.
28:37Wide receiver, we'd have a Monra, Lad, GMO, Christian Watson.
28:43If you're 3 and 0 and you think that this trade wins you this league, then by all means, sure, you can go ahead and
28:48make it. But if you're like one and two and this is a desperation play where you are selling your 27 first and your 28 first, then
29:00it's definitely a risky pivot to be honest.
29:05Okay, now let me go over to our next question.
29:13Leletz trading away CMC for Puka. Give me Puka.
29:20Or we can view it differently here.
29:21McAffrey down tiered to Jeremiah Love.
29:24Puka lateral move. I'm sorry. Jamar Chase lateral move to Puka. I would prefer Chase slightly but not far off.
29:37And then obviously the massive massive upgrade where you are getting Trey McBride.
29:52>> [panting] >> I think that this is a very much a fair deal and it is going to be up to you and
29:58how you view the difference between Puka Nua as well as Jamar Chase. Do you think that there is a massive gap here?
30:09Okay.
30:18Now, let's go over to our next question.
30:27This is from Bang Boom.
30:38trading away flowers.
30:48Tyson McBride for JSN and Craft.
30:55I think you probably have to do this if you put yourself in a position in which it's only a two wide receiver, one flex
31:03league.
31:09And you get the combination of JS, Puka, Nakua, Kenneth Walker all in the same squad.
31:22That would be too crazy not to take to be honest. I think you have to make that trade.
31:28Okay, so now going over to our next question from Jared.
31:38um has Bowers in here. I don't know what you're asking. I'm gonna send you over another free trade question so you can
31:42resubmit.
31:47Now MD Jason trading away Rodriguez Parker Washington for DJ Moore Dalton Concade. Who do we currently have at
31:55tight end? You have Lovelin and Goddard.
31:59Chris Rodriguez is a zero. obvious down tier from Parker Washington to DJ Moore, but you get a significant upgrade at tight end. My hesitation here is the
32:11fact that this is a 10 team, two receiver, one flex format.
32:19So, the depth isn't going to be super important for this team and we are giving up the best player.
32:28So, that is what would make me a little nervous. again. Just a little nervous.
32:34Okay, now let me go to this next one.
32:48Vex says trading away Josh Downs for Lad Mcconi.
32:54Here's the deal. I know calculator is saying that you're robbing him. I think that this is actually a very fair question. And I think this is a very
33:00fair trade.
33:11Like realistically this week given the matchups I do have Josh DS ranked ahead of Lad Mankey.
33:21So, if this is a scenario in which it's just, hey, you're playing the matchups by week, then it is up to your personal
33:32preference. Now, I still probably prefer Lad Mcconi. Again, definitely downs will be higher in my rankings this week as it
33:41is a much better matchup for him though.
33:46Now, Tai Chicks always happen to see you trade away Scat and Jamar for Hubard and Lamb. I would say probably no.
33:53Especially, I mean, you have really strong running back production as is.
33:58So, I would keep the Jamar and Cam Scataboo side as I do still very much prefer Jamar Chase over CD Lamb.
34:10Okay, now Tai Chicks again here. This one down tiering from Taylor to Chase Brown. Down teeering from Flowers to Rasheed Rice,
34:20but we end up with Brock Bowers and it's a two receiver one flex format. So Tight end's going to make up a very high
34:25percentage of our lineup output.
34:27So yeah, I'm completely fine with you going for Brock Bowers here.
34:32Now Jerry trading away Lamb in a third for Woody Marks, Matthew Golden in the late first. No man, I understand if you
34:40wanted to pivot to a rebuild, but you need to get more out of CD Lamb. That was an early first and maybe we could
34:45consider it.
34:48Okay, now Uncle Bezos trading away Genty to Bowers. Up to you.
35:03Rashad White's a zero. Kendrick Miller's a zero. Chris Godwin's a zero.
35:08Loveland has upside but definitely isn't guaranteed to be anything. and Rashid Rice is a notable player. And then obviously Trevian gives you upside as
35:16well.
35:18So yeah, I think I would probably go ahead and I would take the Bower side of this.
35:30Now Andrew with this next question.
35:37Here we are the fourth team in the league analyzer.
35:48We are starting Mariota here in the short term. We have Jaden Daniels obviously in the long term. Here's the deal, man. I understand maybe you just
35:57wanted to backfill the Washington guy.
35:59And I know at the same time that yes, Marcus Mariota was incredible this past week, but I don't know,
36:27man. I think I would rather have CJ Shroud against the Dallas Cowboys defense.
36:34Texans project to score 25 and a half points.
36:45Running back, we have Chase Brown, Bay Shell Tutin, R.J. Harvey, Emit Johnson, Tyler Algier.
36:52wide receiver Puka Pickkins Parker Washington Diggs the long-term upside of Tyson Conception Pitman's probably an easy cut at this
37:01point looking at your waiverwire names um I guess Tank Bsby could be somebody that you look at with the clear handcuff
37:09appeal if Barkley were to go down but actually I would cut Michael Pitman for Mai Lemon for sure just given the
37:18upside case that you may have if Mia Lemon does expand his role with the Devont Smith injury. Here's so cut Pitman, pick
37:27up Mai Lemon.
37:30Then outside of that, I would cut Mariota, play CJ Strad this week, and then long-term, like if you could try to package together like Stefon
37:42Diggs as well as Bashel Tun for a running back upgrade here.
37:52I think we would go for it. I think we would. But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some
37:58way. Bitter Hornet always happy to see us. Says this will leave me with Chase Brown, Tuton, RJ Washington. Is it worth
38:04it? I have Zay Wadd, JMO, Casey, Conception. So, I would say no, man. Now that we have Justin [snorts] Jefferson being ruled
38:15out this week without practicing, there is a real world in which they decide to also hold out Justin Jefferson next week
38:24knowing that they have the week six buy.
38:26So, I would not trade away the guaranteed volume. I know that you're worried about Genty.
38:33Um, I would wait until at least Jefferson's back if you're going to make this trade.
38:39Okay.
38:42Now, Mix says, "Hey, Mason, big fan of the streams.
38:48Feel like my team is mostly fine. Some unlucky matchups. Looking for some trades, but the counters just haven't been it. Looking forward for the
38:57insight. Appreciate you, my friend. Um, let me see where we are at here. This is a superflex format.
39:07Yeah, we have had the Jaden Daniels injury. I'm assuming you started Kyler week one and then obviously you had the Kyler concussion. So, you are 0 and3.
39:16But here's the deal, man. Even if you're an unlucky 0 and3 at this point, what you need to be doing is you need to be
39:23taking some of this long-term upside that you have for short-term production.
39:34So, what I would probably look at doing is superflex format. Is there a world in which you can trade Jaden Daniels
39:44to a team that's three and 0? get them the upside for Daniels when he comes back and get us some short-term
39:52points like this team here as an example.
40:06Is there a world in which you could possibly send? And obviously there's no way this happens in a one quarterback format, but bear with me.
40:15In a superflex league here, could you send Daniels and Amarian for Derrick Henry?
40:24Do you have a play that you could get off the waiver wire here?
40:31which you probably actually lose the long-term value of this trade. But again, you being 0 and3, I think that you may be okay with a long-term loss to
40:42get short-term production in.
40:48And there are startable quarterbacks out there on the waiverwire. Like you could pick up Mariota, right?
40:58Terren Fur goes to the IR.
41:02Jordan Mason obviously fits a similar mold here. 0 and3 roster. If there's a world in which you could trade him and
41:08try to extract some value right now, you do. So just with Jordan Mason, it's literally impossible because he doesn't have the name appeal and he is not
41:16producing right now. So I think your better chance would be with Jaden Daniels.
41:33Again, much easier said than done, but you do have to see if there's a way for you to sell long-term upside to get
41:41short-term production. And Daniels is really the only guy that fits that ilk for you here. But I'm wishing the best of luck, my friend. I do agree. I think
41:49you've maybe gotten a little unlucky so far this year. And you are seventh in points scored. So obviously um you're first in points against. So
42:01you definitely gotten a little unlucky.
42:05Now it's Keegan trading away Trevion Jamar Chase for Jonathan Taylor and Parker
42:16Washington.
42:18Chase to Taylor downgrade but Henderson to Washington. Massive upgrade. Yes, I do this.
42:25Okay, now unsung Brace trading away Drake May to upgrade a burrow bay shell tooting to
42:37downgrade to a Buouka running back you're fine. I get you doing this and I know you see need the wide receiver
42:43depth but here's my thing man and I say this as somebody who has Ibuka on their own team.
42:50It is about to be so ugly in Tampa that I don't want anything to do with Ibuka
43:01and he's already on my team. I've spent all freaking week trying to sell him and it's impossible.
43:09I don't think you go out there and make this trade to be honest.
43:15I think you keep tooting and you stream quarterbacks.
43:20Now, Mr. Bullseye here, quarterback start, Tyler Shock over Lawrence, but both are incredible plays. And then in the flex, Brilen Allen is just going to
43:28be an auto start for you. Now, minor low here at running back, you're playing Gibbs and Harvey with ETN on the IR.
43:36Wide receiver, Flowers and Christian Watson are auto starts. Tight end, we have Bowowers. And then in the flex, pretty easy to start Matthew Golden at
43:44this point. Through the first three weeks, he has 30 targets. Like, it's the little perfect guy to get in.
43:52Okay. Now, going over to our next question. This is from says, "My team is 0 and3 and have a chance to do this
44:01trade. Do we do this?" So, I'll say a couple things. One, I always hate trades where you're sending five guys for four. you're sending all
44:10your best players for all their best players. It's like what's the point of this? Do we just hate our team or
44:16something? Um, so I will say I want to be on the record. I in general do not like trades like this.
44:23But with that being said, you're 0 and three. If you get the opportunity to move off of Devont Smith, you may have to take it.
44:35like CD Lamb upgraded Puka, Chase Brown upgrade to Henry, Dak Prescott upgrade to Josh Allen, DJ Moore upgraded George Pickkins. You're having to sacrifice
44:44Devont Smith to get all these upgrades.
44:47But again, 0 and3 roster. We may just have to make that sacrifice.
44:55Okay, our next question is going to be from Fayer says, "Been a member of the flock for years now. Love the content
45:01and the league. Y'all are some goats. I really appreciate you, man. Not sure what moves to make for the team going
45:07forward. We are the number one team in this league. It's a two receiver, one flex format, so the depth's not going to
45:12be super important. We have a quarterback that is absolutely balling with Brock Pery. Uh tight end, I will say we would prefer having a topend
45:22tight end in this kind of format because again, you're just not able to get that many running backs or receivers into
45:28your lineup. We have four startable running backs with Barkley, Tuton, Bree, as well as Quinton Shawn Judkins.
45:35Obviously, we have the short-term injury for Breece, but when we have this kind of depth, it doesn't really matter. And here's the deal. Because you have a very
45:43clear play that you can just decide to put a wide receiver in your flex spot. I think the easy thing for you to do, man,
45:53is I think that you should go through and you should try selling one of your running backs to an RB Needy team to see if there's an
46:03upgrade that we can get inside our starting lineup.
46:07Like especially after Judkins just has this blowup game on Thursday night, Browns are a three and one. A lot of people are excited here. I would be very
46:19much interested in seeing like what could we get if we were to go through and try to sell him.
46:28Wide receiver, we don't need anything.
46:30We have a ton of production at the very top ends and we are rostering so many of these guys down below. But over at tight
46:37ends, I do think that there is a world in which you can get an upgrade here.
46:47Like let me go through and look at some of these teams that maybe really need help with running back. This team has
46:52DeAndre Swift, Jaylen Warren, and that's literally it. And they have Trey McBride and Daltton Concaid as well. I would try doing two separate things with them.
47:00One, I would try gassing him up and go, "Hey, you got Concincaid. You don't even need Trey McBride. Give me Trey McBride
47:06and I'll give you Saquon Barkley and Isaiah likely.
47:09I think this would be a no-brainer for your team. You could start Bree and Judkins in the I'm sorry, Tutin as well
47:15as Judkins in the short term.
47:20And then in the long term, you get Bree Hall back in. And then if they don't do this, you can go through and maybe offer
47:26them Judkins and likely to try to get to Daltton Concaid.
47:42Let me go over and see where we stand with other teams that maybe need some running back help.
47:49This team has depth. They just don't have top end production.
47:57This team has the ETN and Jerian price injuries. there's a very real chance that you can go ahead and make something
48:02with them. They don't have the upgrade at tight end for you, but you could potentially try to get yourself an upgrade at receiver. Like if you wanted
48:10to try to make a move to get to an elite ammon, you could maybe try selling the combination of like a lav and Quinnshan
48:17Judkins here.
48:20So, I think that would be what I'm trying to do, man. If you have four startable running backs and you have the
48:25wide receiver depth, and it's a league in which depth doesn't matter much, I think I would go through and try our
48:31best to sell one of the RBs for an upgrade
48:41inside our starting lineup. But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way with this.
48:49Now, our next question from TP says, "Um, one and two. What should I do?
48:53Can't get over the wide receiver." Hum.
48:56Here's the deal, man. Like, obviously, I'd rather a Mike Evans over Aaron Jones in the long term, but if you're one and two, I don't know if you
49:07should be trading Aaron Jones for an injured receiver.
49:14I would rather you try to send like a wide re I would rather you try to send like Aaron Jones and a Buouah for
49:20Christian Watson if this team really wants Aaron Jones. And this team does need running back production cuz their only running backs were Walker and ETN
49:28and ETN's now on the IR.
49:31So that's what I'd be looking at here, man. I would not be going through and like trading for an injured wide
49:43receiver at one and two. You need wins right this second.
49:50Now AJ K trading away Chase Brown, Avant Smith for Cam Scataboo and Amanra.
50:01We'd have Walker Scat receiver. wide. I think this is a fine deal. I think you're getting the best player in it and
50:07with the injury to Devont Smith. Um, completely fine trade to make here.
50:13Okay, next question coming out from I love Toutin says, "Is this a good trade? I need a running back badly and is a
50:22Flowers not supposed to be really good if he gets snapped up?"
50:27So, here's the deal, man.
50:30Flowers is really good when his snaps go up. I mean, right now from a per route run perspective, Zay Flowers looks like
50:39the best wide receiver to have ever played in the NFL. It's unbelievable.
50:45But at the same time with that, I don't know if that efficiency is going
50:56to hold. Like I think Z Flowers is going to be a low. I have him at wide receiver 10. I think he's going to be a top 10
51:01wide receiver on the low end here.
51:04But if it's a 10 team, two receiver, one flex format, you tr I still think there's a gap between him and Jamar
51:12Chase.
51:14We've had such a large sample of us seeing a gap between those players.
51:22So I would hold on to Jamar here.
51:27I would hold on to Jamar.
51:30Let me send you over another free trade question. I think it's a completely fine deal though. If you really really wanted
51:36to make it, you can go for it.
51:39Now, I trading away neighbors and downs for Nico and Conception. Um, at this point, it's Nico and it's not close with
51:46the injuries that we have for the Giants. You got to go Nico Hoots at wide receiver.
51:56you play Neighbors over Lad and then in the flex actually you go um Luther Burden over Lad as well. Lad has a
52:04horrific matchup this week and with him coming off the injury I don't know how excited I am for it to be honest.
52:13Okay, now Nate with our next question here. Tight ends, we're looking at
52:25Sadique verse Jawan Johnson. I'm going to go Jawan Johnson. And then in the flux, it's actually incredibly difficult between Jeremiah Love as well as
52:33Christian Watson. It's kind of up to you.
52:37Jeremiah Love, though, is looking like a three down running back.
52:43that's incredibly talented in an offense that's favored.
52:51So, I think you probably go ahead and you probably go with Jeremiah Love over Christian Watson, but you can go back
52:57and forth there to be honest.
53:00Okay.
53:02Now Daril Spartan trading away Genty Jakori Kroski Merritt Jaylen Wadd for CMC RJ Harvey and Michael Wilson
53:20Jakori Kroski to RJ Harvey lateral move up to you. Genty to CMC upgrade Wadd to Michael Wilson downgrade. I think this
53:27is a completely fine deal. I could see this going either way. I probably take the CMC side just with him being the best player
53:37in the trade, but it is very close here.
53:45Now wheezy with our next question.
53:50Trading Bucky and Nico Collins for Chase Brown and Lad Mcconi.
54:04So, Bucky to Chase Brown, clear upgrade.
54:06Nico to Lad, clear downgrade.
54:12I think Chase Brown's probably the best asset in this. Would you need to start lad? I don't think you would need to
54:17start him with how good your team is.
54:20I'm very much concerned about what you have with God.
54:45I'm very much concerned with what you have with the Chargers offense, but also the Bucks. So, I'm definitely feeling a little bit conflicted here.
55:03This one is up to you, man. It really is.
55:07Okay, now Jameson with our next question here for the flex.
55:18I think I go full PBR format. The upside play is Kenyan Sadiq now that Adini Mitchell has
55:29been ruled out.
55:32I like the Mai Lemon long-term upside, but
55:56It's tough to get there this week before we've seen it. We saw Kenyan Sadique this past week. Again, you don't have
56:03Bree. Maybe they throw the ball a little bit more. And you don't have Noah. I mean, you don't have Adani Mitchell
56:08either.
56:12Okay.
56:29Sorry, one second.
56:42This from RPG trading away Raandre Stevenson as well as Isaiah likely for Tyler Warren.
56:55Looking at your running back room, yeah, you have the running back depth. Yeah, just clearly go get the tight end upgrade. And if you are going to buy
57:03Tyler Barton, I do think you probably have to do it this week. I think Tyler Warren potentially has a really strong
57:08game Sunday morning. Now, Sleek Viper trading away Amarin Hampton as well as Debo Samuel for Christian Watson.
57:17Your running back depth's a little bit shaky, but you're effectively just moving from Hampton to Watson in your lineup with the way that it's currently
57:25situated. And I would say that Christian Watson definitely gives you the much higher ceiling here.
57:38So yeah, I think we probably go Watson now. Next question is going to be from Michael Paz. Says, "Been wheeling and
57:48dealing. Do we have any advice? Congrats and everything, brother. Much love.
57:51Congrats. I mean, sorry, not congrats.
57:53Thank you, my guy. I know you've been with us for absolutely ever." And yeah, thank you for sticking with me for so
57:59freaking long now, man. But let's go through and let's pull this up. I'll say first things first, man. You got Mahomes. There's no way in hell you're
58:07ever looking at like Marcus Mariota here. I understand that most teams in your league are rostering two quarterbacks, but at the same time, like
58:16even Gino Smith, I would think is probably a better long-term option than Mariota. So, for me, I would probably go through and
58:26I would cut Mariota. I think you have a very clear pivot instead.
58:32Uh just looking at what's available on the waiverwire like Emit Johnson's in a spot in which if you were to get an
58:39injury to Kenneth Walker like Imit Johnson wins
58:51you this league.
58:55So I think I would cut Mariota. I think I would pick up Emit Johnson.
59:14>> [panting] >> running back. Actually, I'm sorry. He doesn't win you your league, but he keeps you safe because you have Kenneth
59:23Walker. Running back. You have Walker, Chase Brown, Kayn Black, Olly Gordon, Jordan, Mason Miller. So, we are already kind of optimizing for these backup RBs.
59:31But yeah, again, I just don't see what Mariota does for the roster. But yeah, running back looks incredibly topheavy.
59:38Very good. We just need to find a way to back fill some depth, which again, I think we get ahead of it on the
59:41waiverwire. Wide receiver, we have Puka, Pickkins, Tiggins, Cardinal Tate, Jordan Tyson. This is a perfect team, man. Look at your lineup. Yeah, the elite
59:50quarterback with Mahomes, the elite tight end with Bowers, two phenomenal running backs, three great receivers. We're two and one. Puka
60:00Nakua is coming back in. We have a team with Bowowers, Puka, Kenneth Walker all on it.
60:14Yeah, this is incredible.
60:28I'm trying to think if there's anything else we would do other than that small waiver wire pivot. I don't think there
60:33is. Big reason for this is if you look at where we stand when it goes over to these depth wide receiver pieces we
60:43have, we have the depth of Cardell Tate giving you long-term upside, the depth of Jordan Tyson giving you long-term upside. These guys are going
60:53to be more valuable in the long term than they are in the short term. So, while we don't need them right now, like
60:58we definitely don't want to sell them right now either.
61:02So yeah, I would leave this as is, my friend. I think you are in a very good situation, but
61:12I really appreciate you. I wish I had a way to help you out a little bit more than I do.
61:18Now, Dirty Skinny, with our next question.
61:22This next one is we need two flexes.
61:29We have no Devont Smith. I don't know if you played Judkins. If you did play Judkins, you go Jordan Addison. Then
61:36obviously Judkins and the other flags.
61:38If you did not go Judkins, then at that point you're going to go Addison as well as Jawan Johnson.
61:47Okay.
61:49So this one is from Bin is able here at tight ends.
62:15I think you probably play AJ Barner.
62:21He's played at least 80% of the snaps every week. He did just get nine targets this past week. No Jarian Price, no
62:27Charbanet. Maybe they throw the ball a little bit more. And then you also got to play Saquon Barkley in this second
62:32flex. But don't get me wrong, I understand he's been horrendous. I understand it's a tough matchup and the Eagles offense projects pretty poorly as
62:39well, but you still got to get them in.
62:45Now looking at this from Pancake trading away Josh Allen down tiering to
62:54Dak and Barkley. Here's the deal. I think that this is a fair trade and it's up to your team. Your team having
63:04Jadarian Price and Jonathan Brooks is like your running back two, running back three. Yeah, you probably got to make the move.
63:19Yeah. Again, I don't want to move off of Josh Allen if we can avoid it in a setup in which you only start two
63:26receivers and one flex.
63:35But there I think you need help at running back. Now Leo between Imit Johnson, Kendry Miller, and Cal Manungai. I'm probably gonna go Miller.
63:45Saints project score a ton of points.
63:47And while Kamar looks like he's probably going to be the lead guy, not a guarantee. Between Schultz, Craft, Sadique, honestly, they are all in a
63:55very similar range for me, I think it's going to be very close. We do have the best offensive projections being for Dalton Schultz.
64:04And then honestly uh with Mai Lemon maybe being our best flex. Here's the deal. You're playing three tight ends.
64:12Unbelievable that you are playing three tight ends here. Does show how much the NFL has changed with this tight end utilization.
64:23But super weird setup.
64:26Now Mr. Nate Garcia says got this trade.
64:30He is 0 and3 just worried about Hampton.
64:33don't like the three running back split.
64:35So, we're going from Gibbs to Amanra.
64:39And for our troubles, we are picking up Trevian and Amari and Hampton.
64:49Okay.
64:56It's a fair trade.
65:00You would have to cut two players. The two guys you would cut would be Keenan Allen and probably Mike Washington or or
65:09Marvin Harrison.
65:17You do kind of need some running back depth. It's a completely fine trade. I would not fault you for going one way or
65:23another. Obviously, we don't want to be selling Jir Gibbs for depth, but with that being said as well, like
65:33Aman Ross St. Brown's very good.
65:39Um, so then we leave that up to you to be
65:53honest.
65:55Now, next question from Ryder. Trading away Swift for Tetero McMillan.
66:03You don't really need help at running back or receiver. So, it just comes down to man, who do you think scores more
66:07points in the flex? I think they're very similar. I would assume if you were going through and trading away a running
66:14back, you could get a little bit more just knowing how many people are starving for the running back position.
66:23Okay, so now thus be Aon with our next one here. Running back, we have Brillin Allen verse Bellein. Probably got to jam
66:33Bay Shell. And then do not hesitate.
66:37Anybody watching this, if you have Pukanua, I know it's his first week back. It doesn't matter. You just absolutely have to put him in your
66:44lineup. Now, thus ba says, "I drafted Achan and ETN, so I'm trying to make a team that's failing work. My running
66:53back room is cooked. What should my next move be?"
66:58The trading in this league is very stale, so they won't take anything that slightly favors me. Completely understand that, my friend.
67:08Um, do I sell my first rounder or battle the waiverss? All right, let's go ahead and let's look at this. We are 0 and3.
67:16So when you are 0 and3, you find yourself in a position in which we need to go ahead and we need to
67:27no longer focus on long-term upside.
67:34Instead, we need to focus on what we get with short-term production.
67:45We need wins now. We can't focus in on wins in the long run.
67:51Quarterback, we have Shuck as well as Daniels. So, Shuck, phenomenal play here in the short term. Daniels on an 0 and3
68:00roster. I'll be honest, I would be interested in going through and selling him if we could. Now, again, easier said than done.
68:09Now, running back, we have the combination of Quinnshan Judkins, who hopefully we played on Thursday, finally had his first game,
68:20Aaron Jones, which with Aaron Jones, I mean, this week specifically, he projects out almost as a top 12 running back, as
68:28crazy as that sounds.
68:33Josh Jacobs, Alvin Kamar, Brilen out.
68:35So, we do have a lot of running backs here that give you upside
68:56like at least in the short term, right?
68:58Aaron Jones, we definitely can start him in the short term. Brillin Allen can definitely start him in the short term and then maybe even Kamara
69:07receiver we have Chase Pickkins Lad Luther Burden Josh Down. So we have five wide receivers of value in a league in
69:14which you can only start three. And here's the deal. You got Jameson Williams on the waiverwire as well.
69:24Like maybe I'm biased having J Mo on my own team, but like I would say at this point you have to cut an injured Adani Mitchell for
69:33Jameson Williams.
69:38And damn man.
69:42I think in that case you also need to trade for a better tight ends if possible. Is there a way that you can
69:50go to the Bree Hall team and see what they want for Brillin Allen, right?
70:08Let me see what team's desperate for running back production. This team has Cam Scataboo, Jakori Cross, Kamarit, Rico Dattle.
70:18I have McBride as well.
70:22What kind of offer would we have to put together for McBride?
70:29Judkins Craft Pickins.
70:35Judkins Craft Lad.
70:38We start Aaron Jones, Brilin in the short term.
70:44Kamara Depppiece. This helps our lineup in the short term. Maybe it hurts us in the long term, but again, you're 0 and3.
70:50We need to find a way to get some points in this lineup right this second.
71:04Is there another team that we can find that may need help at RB? This team has Marshon Lloyd as their running back
71:11three. They have Tyler Warren at tight ends.
71:16Is there a way we could pivot over from Craft to Tyler Warren and we toss them? Like I don't know if
71:26Aaron Jones would be the name I'd want to toss them. Could we go like give them Braille and Allen and Josh DS and then
71:33again you're able to pick up JO from the waiverwire for completely free.
71:39Again, I don't know if this is possible in your league. I know you said that trading is a very difficult um to get done. I definitely don't want
71:49to trade away your first, but if there were to be a way for us to trade a startable running back and get a tight
71:56end upgrade piece, I think that would be interesting.
72:11And then after that, I would pick up J Mo for free and I'd
72:28consider picking up Travis ETN for free.
72:32Like Josh DS is your wide receiver five.
72:34Do we really need Debo? What's the upside?
72:38As crazy as that sounds.
72:42Now going over to our next question.
72:44This is from Jville. It's trading away Jeremiah Love, Christian Watson, and DJ Moore for a Monroe St. Brown.
72:56I know this is a league in which depth doesn't matter, but after the game that we just had from Jeremiah Love,
73:04this does seem to be an aggressive offer. This does seem to be very very aggressive.
73:20So, I again I understand considering it's a
73:3710 team, two receiver, one flex. You don't really need the depth here either.
73:47So, I understand you going for it.
73:53Now our next question is coming out from Dred is trading Bree as well as Tedoro
74:01McMillan for Chase Brown Lad Mcconi.
74:10Yeah, you have to do this man with the Bree injury. This is a no-brainer. If Bree was fully healthy, it'd be a little bit tougher.
74:21Now, Blue Ninja with this next one, trading away Bree, Lamb, and Cororum for Walker and Terry. So, Cororum to Mclloren, up to you.
74:33Lamb to Walker, clear upgrade. You're paying Breeze to get it done.
74:39I probably don't do this because it does put us in a little bit of an awkward
74:52spot with the Evans injury. And if this Terry hamstring injury is for real, give me one second to text Mrs. Flock.
75:06It's going to be a long night.
75:56Okay, let's go over to this next one from JDubs. Running back, I'd play Raadre over Ali Gordon. Both are going to be in committees, but Olly Gordon has
76:06a horrific matchup in the worst offense in the league.
76:12Wide receivers, I would be going lad over JMO and then JMO in the flex.
76:17And then tied in between Sadique and Loveland. To be honest with you, the latest projections I have seen, I do have Sadi as the play now that there is
76:27no Adenai Mitchell. Now Scott, with our next question, trading away DeAndre Swift as well as Christian Watson for Chase Brown and Tedo McMillan. I think
76:37Chase Brown is by far and away the best player in this deal to be honest. Like Chase Brown is a three-own running back
76:44who has seen 70% of the snaps for the Cincinnati Bengals every week so far this season.
76:54So I do think you jam them.
76:57Okay.
77:02Now, our next question for Mike says, "Oh, this is a Dynasty team. We're going to
77:12save the Dynasty teams for a minute.
77:15Rugen here trading away Trevor Lawrence, Genty and Tyler Warren for Lamar, Chase Brown, Tucker Craft. Slight downgrade at
77:26running back.
77:32Big downgrade at tight ends, big upgrade at quarterback. I think this is a completely fair deal and it is up to
77:39your personal preference to be honest.
77:43Now, Too many Rockies says drafted ETN very thin at running back right now.
77:49Between Hawinson, Clee Raymond, Darren Waller, Aaron Jones, three of these four players are Waverwire assets and one is an absolute
77:58jam in the short term with no Jordan Mason.
78:04So, I think you do have to take Aaron Jones here pretty easily to be honest.
78:10Okay, now burning berries says I have puka as well thinking to
78:19upgrade at running back.
78:23Okay, DeAndre Swift with Devonte Adams to
78:32Dererick Henry.
78:3612 team start aid formats the depth matters. Uh, you have enough depth at wide receiver. I think you can pull this
78:42off.
78:44Obviously, if Puka was going to be out for an extended period, we would say keep Devonte Adams. But, and with Puka
78:52back, the Adams projection gets so much worse.
78:58Okay, now next question's going to be from
79:07Sloth.
79:21One second.
79:55Now, running back between Henderson, Miller, Alier, Perine, all of these are committee backs. If I had to choose one, I'm going to go with the guy that I
80:05think is the most talented that could give us a big random play, and that is Trevon.
80:13For the flex, you have to play Luther Burden with the target volume he got last week. And I'd probably go Keenan Allen in the other
80:22spot as well with Keenan having a very strong matchup where the Colts do project score a ton of points.
80:30Now, Crusty Knight with this next question says, "What's up, Mason? Thank you for the site and the direction the channel's going." Thank you so much,
80:36man. Traded Neighbors and Tuton for Chase and Rome.
80:41So, Chase clear best player there. I'm assuming you're going to have the best team in this league now. Do I keep the
80:48two goats at receiver? Do I try to flip Chase for running back? Plus, my depth is cooked. Will the side ever let us
80:53make our own rankings that I can only use? That would be sick. I think you should be able to unless the redesign
81:00messed it up where maybe that's no longer an option right now, but um I think you should you definitely were
81:16able to before the season got here.
81:20All you have to do is go. Yeah, I know that they just redesigned the rankings page, so maybe they accidentally got rid of
81:28that button.
81:31Um, okay. So, this is a 12 team start date
81:47formats.
81:50Sorry, let me send this message.
82:08This is a 12 team start eight format, so the depth definitely matters. I know you said our depth is cooked.
82:16Um, I'll say, man, I mean, you have some interesting waiverwire options here. So, your saving grace is that Aaron Jones has no Jordan Mason in his backfield
82:27right now. So, for in the short term, Aaron Jones is just a crusher, somebody that we can pretty easily bank on.
82:34Obviously, that is the short term here.
82:37Um, quarterback, we have Daniels, Jordan Love. So, Daniels for the long-term upside. Jordan Love completely playable right now. Um, you'll love to see it.
82:46Looking at the potential other streaming options you could have at the quarterback position, I would say CJ Shroud has a very compelling matchup if
82:55you were looking to stream just this week. But again, you can see the same exact thing with Jordan Love. So, completely fine having Love here. Then
83:02going over to running back. Um, sitting with the combo of Javvante and Aaron Jones. Again, this does put you in a
83:11decent little spot for your shortterm production. Long-term production is going to be shaky once
83:21Jordan Mason comes back in Minnesota.
83:24Then at that point, like Aaron Jones is not an exciting start here at running back, too. So, what I would probably do
83:34in that case is I would look see, can we find an exciting start for free off waiverss? Uh, Travis ETN's out there. I
83:43know you have Caleb Douglas on this team dealing with his own ankle injury. Uh, I would cut Caleb Douglas personally and I
83:50would go out there and I would pick up Travis ETN.
83:56Wide receiver, you have Jamar Chase as well as JSN.
84:00your flex spots suck here. You're actually going to be flexing a tight ends, which um at this point may not be
84:07the worst thing in the world to be honest. So, we're flexing the tight ends.
84:13The depth of the team is definitely the worst thing about it.
84:38>> [panting] >> I don't think you changed much here,
84:49man. I understand that the depth is shaky in this league that depth matters.
84:55I don't think you down here tier here at wide receiver unless you have yourself an injury. I mean, if you
85:06see an injury to somebody with this team, then maybe we can go through and re-evaluate that. But you have Jordan Addison we can play here
85:23in the flex right now. Mai Lemon maybe jumps up now that you're in a spot in which Devont Smith has an injured hamstring.
85:34Do you have upside down on the bench to fix this problem in the long run? Jordan Addison's playable in the short term
85:41with the Jefferson injury. Aaron Jones is playable in the short term with the Jordan Mason injury.
86:08Yeah, man. So, I would just simply cut Caleb Douglas, pick up Travis CTN, plan on flexing the tight ends, and then try
86:15to fix the depth through the waiverwire rather than feeling like we need to go through and make a trade to fix it.
86:24But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way with this, man. But phenomenal team and
86:31phenomenal trade. Now, SBG trading away Chase Brown and Mike Evans for Kenneth Walker. This is an absolute no-brainer, man. You got to do it. Trust Lock,
86:40longtime member of the Flock. I'm happy to see that you're still rocking with us, man. Here, our best player on the
86:46bench is a Gabbuka. And I'm going to be very clear. I would not fault you at all for playing Pard here because Ibuka's
86:56offense looks to be horrific, but Tony Pard's offense projects scores 15 points.
87:07So for me, I I have Ibuka on my own team.
87:14Obviously, I'm not excited about it.
87:24But I still think he's the play over Tony Pard because while we can come out here
87:34and we can say lower your expectations for Igbuka with no Baker, this offense is supposed to be horrific. They still project to score more points than what
87:42you get with I mean the Tennessee Titans of all teams.
87:52Now nocturnal with this next question trading away Josh Jacobs and Denzel Boston
88:01for Jadarian Price as well as Tyreek Hill.
88:07Okay, Jacob surprise slight upgrade Boston.
88:20You're paying Boston to get it done.
88:26This is your personal preference. I mean, it sucks. Jadarian Price having his own injury and then on top of that, you throw on the fact that you do have
88:41Zack Charbanet back at practice and it seems like Zack Charbet just may straight up be coming back.
88:52So with that in mind, you may need to lower your expectations for Jarian Price in the long run,
89:01but I mean we've it's been all quiet on the Josh Jacob situation. We have no idea what to expect there.
89:10Now Will Ker asking Wilson over Amarian. Big fan since 2023.
89:18Love you. I really appreciate you, man.
89:21And I actually did have to look into like the Emanuel Wilson stuff.
89:26Um because I got offered Emanuel Wilson in the Flock League.
89:32Let me know in the chat real quick.
89:35So, this was a trade that I almost made tonight. Obviously, I made the Bryce Young trade. Another trade that I almost
89:42made or I was considering here.
89:46Please let me know in the chat. Do you think this would have been good? Do you think this would have been bad?
89:57I almost traded Xavier Worthy for Emanuel Wilson to play Emanuel Wilson in my flex bot this week because I have no Justin Jefferson. I
90:09have no ETN and it's a double flex league. So, I'm dying for Flexus here.
90:15But my thought process is I would probably rather just pick up Daltton Schultz from the waiverwire and play Daltton Schultz in a game in which the
90:25Texans project to score 25 points.
90:31So I'm going to be dropping Xavier Worthy regardless.
90:35The question is essentially, would you rather have Dalton Schultz that you could potentially play next week as well or Emanuel Wilson for the oneweek
90:45fill-in?
90:52And god dang, we got a freaking lurker out here going to snipe us on our waiverwire bid.
91:00But who would y'all rather play this week? Would you rather play Emanuel Wilson or would you rather play Dalton Schultz? Again, the Texans project to
91:08score 25 points, Wilson or Schultz.
91:13JN says he would have gone Wilson, but please let me know in the chat.
91:28We got Wilson Schultz. Schultz Wilson Wilson Wilson Wilson
91:38Yeah, I know Nico's back again.
91:49Looking at the Emanuel Wilson projections, at least the ones that I saw, I literally didn't even check Poly
92:00Market. Let me see.
92:04Do we think that Poly Market US has the lines up for these guys?
92:16This is legit.
92:19how I would decide something this close.
92:23So, do they have player props up for Emanuel Wilson? I doubt it to be honest.
92:27The spread seven and a half points. The Seahawks right now project to score 25 and a half. Dear God.
92:38Okay, so Emanuel Wilson has a 40% chance of scoring a touchdown.
92:45Fantasy Points PPR.
92:51Yeah, they don't have an Emanuel Wilson one up.
92:56That's what I figured. Do they have any rushing yards for this rushing attempts? Yeah, I know. They don't have anything. They only have the
93:06touchdown one.
93:08Emanuel Wilson 55% chance to have 50 or more rushing yards.
93:18Honestly, f it. Let me see what they have with Schultz.
93:27Again, with Daltton Schultz, my thought process is it's just a really good matchup that he has where if we go over and look at Houston,
93:36Houston projects to score 25 and a half.
93:42Daltton Schultz 27% chance scoring touchdown much lower, but he's just going to catch the ball in a PPR format.
93:5146% chance of Schultz scoring 11 or more fantasy points.
94:03And Schultz also gets the chance at being viable next week as well.
94:17And Zuva says, "You better be ready to bid over $500." Fab.
94:22And this is also my question, too. Ryan says, "Won't Emanuel Wilson split with George Alani.
94:31What do y'all think about George Alani on his usage?"
94:37And also, if you all wanted to check out any of those markets on Poly Market US, you can find the link in the
94:44description, comment section, live chat, sign up, promo code flock, get $25 added to your account after you deposit your first 10. Available in every state other
94:53than Nevada.
95:01Okay.
95:18So, I mean, Emanuel Wilson, we've seen him in the past be usable.
95:26Sevian says, "Alani did have five targets last week."
95:33Yeah, let me pull up what we had with George Alani verse Emanuel Wilson last week.
95:45Emanuel Wilson last week, zero targets, nine carries, 14 rushing yards.
95:55Do we have George Alani? Yeah, we have George Alani on flockfantasy.com.
95:59Um, George Alani, five targets. George Alani almost 27 years old. He's never done anything. I mean, at least we saw
96:07Emanuel Wilson say like in 2025, he dropped 26 points against Minnesota.
96:20I don't know. It'll be something I have to think of.
96:30real slick. I already did drop Kyle Pittz.
96:36I will think I will think it's either going to be Dalton Schultz or Emanuel Wilson, but I would rather start
96:46either of those guys over my calls of Wandale versus Xavier Worthy. But here, man, if you have a Marian Hampton, you play
96:55Amari and Hampton over Emanuel Wilson.
96:58Tight end play Jawan probably at this point with the Saints projecting to score so many points.
97:04I'm Jaws trading away lad and Tyler Warren for an upgrade to Nico.
97:10Uh tight end Britain Strange pretty big downgrade from Tyler Warren, but with how bad the Chargers offense is, I'm fine with you doing this.
97:20Now Dchains trading away Genty to Chase Brown. lateral move. Rise to Devonte Adams lateral move. You're paying Jordan Tyson to get it done. Um, fair deal.
97:28It's up to you and your personal preference.
97:32Jordan at running back. You have no breeze. So, it's Jaylen Wright in a committee. Remadre in a committee or Blake Cororm as the backup. I would go
97:40with Raadre because while the Patriots are bad, they're not the Dolphins. Tight end give me Schultz probably over Sadique given the matchup. And then in the flex, you
97:50play Jaylen Wadd pretty easily.
97:52Massive remark trading away Mari and Hampton massive upgrade to Chase Brown.
97:56Z Flowers pretty big downgrade to Gilen Wadd. Out of all four of these offenses here, I think the Chargers are by far
98:03and away the worst. So, I probably go with the Chase Brown side. Now, Ry Grizz trading away Kirn as well as Burden for
98:11Party and London.
98:14So, Kairen to London up to you. Burden to Pertie. What do you I can't see your team. I think it's a fine value and
98:21again it is going to be up to your personal preference as well as your roster on that deal here. Coco, I have
98:29super low expectations for a Kabuka. I'm starting him on my own fantasy team. I'm terrified with no Baker. I think it's
98:36going to be hideous. But I'd still start him over like I guess your next best option here would be Darren Waller. And
98:41I'd still start him over Waller.
98:44Now, Oro Vine here for the flex. No Jerian Price. You go with Luther Burton as well as Jaylen
98:54Coker. If Coker's good to go. If we don't get clarity with Coker though, you're going to pivot to Terry. And if
99:00Terry's not good to go, Cardinal Tate is your last resort.
99:06Okay.
99:09Now, let's go over to Zong's Defish here. A running back between Jaylen
99:20Wright and George Alani.
99:24Disgusting, man.
99:26I probably go Jaylen Wright.
99:29And then tight end, I'm going to go Lovelin over Higgby, but it's close.
99:33Rico Vine trading away Goff to upgrade to Allen.
99:38James Cook to upgrade to JSN. London to downgrade to Jaylen Warren. Yeah, I'd make this deal.
99:48Okay, now Zula with this next one here. Receiver
100:19man. I'd go waddle even with him being up and down. And then in the flex, we play B shell to J Mo. Honestly, pretty
100:27easily there. I am hoping we get a big JMO game, but one thing that we'll have to monitor is going to be the weather in
100:35Carolina. It's too early to know, but right now there's supposed to be a lot of rain, but again, every single week,
100:43we are told that this weather thing is going to happen and it ends up not.
100:50Okay, so now this next one's from Primo, who's trading away Gibbs for Genty, Garrett Wilson, Tyler Warren. This is a
100:59league in which depth matters. You would start every single one of these guys. In terms of who you'd be cutting, you'd
101:06probably cut Andrews. You can't roster three tight ends.
101:13George Alani maybe, or Seth McGawan.
101:21because this is a little bit of a deeper format here with it being a 12 team start eight.
101:29I think this is a deal in which sure you can go ahead and move away from Jir Gibbs if you would like.
101:42Again, is it the easiest move in the world? Definitely no.
101:47It's never easy to trade Gibbs, but I think this is a fine price point if you really wanted to do it.
101:55Okay, now our next question is going to be from Andrew. Quarterback, I'm going to go Mahomes here over Stafford very easily. Um, wide receiver, Devonte
102:04Adams, even with Puka back and then in the flex between Burden, Ibuka, Lad, Bashel Tudin, and Brillin Allen. It's pretty close, but we're going to go Bay
102:14shell to what should be a very high-scoring game environment. I actually think the other name you would go with would be Brilin if you didn't
102:20want to go to just because Brilin's going to get the guaranteed volume.
102:25Now, Devco says, "Hey, Mason, loving the content. It's carrying me through my second year of fantasy." Thank you so much, man. I have a trade lined up to
102:33send Jacobs and Nico for McBride.
102:39Probably want to do that in a 10 team two receiver one flex. Get the elite tight end here, man.
102:45U I have another to send Tutin Lad Warren for London.
102:53Is this too much or is my depth and what's available on the waiverss enough for this to be okay? Thank you,
103:03man. Thank you.
103:06And it's a 10 team two rece. Oh, no.
103:09It's not too much at all. Here's the deal. Any two for one, three for one deal you are able to make in this league here, you
103:20have to do.
103:22This is already a setup in which it's a pretty shallow format, right? 10 team, two receiver, one flex. But seeing what
103:30your league mates allow on the waiver wire, like dear god.
103:46Quinn Sean Judkins, Travis ETN, Jaylen Coker, Cardinal Tate are all out there.
103:52So make every single one of these deals.
103:57Go get Trey McBride.
104:05Then go get Drake London.
104:08And then afterwards, you have three roster spots open. You can pick up Judkins, ETN, and Gilen Coker for literally free. And you already have the
104:16best team in this league. you're already sitting with Jamir Gibbs here in a shallow format, which again in leagues that are this shallow, a lot of times
104:24it's like, oh, okay, if you have Jir Gibbs, you win the league.
104:31And that's just that quarterback, we have Tyler Shuck, Jaylen Herzel. Man, you know what I may consider doing?
104:41I may consider going out there and trying to sell a wide receiver depth piece.
104:48like Garrett Wilson and Tyler Shock to see if we can get to Josh Allen.
104:55Again, maybe it seems aggressive with all the trades that you're making, but if you're telling me you're going to be able to go over to the Waverwire and
105:00pick up Jaylen Coker for free, looks a hell of a lot better if that's your backfield wide receiver depth. So, make
105:07these trades. You have an incredible team. I think you could push it potentially even further.
105:14And yeah, do not stress about this in the slightest, man. You are absolutely crushing.
105:21Now, our next question from Vin Diesel, trading away Wandale for Woody Marks.
105:28Here's the deal. Your running back room is absolute garbage and you have a ton of receivers. So, yes, you definitely want to make this move.
105:35Now, JB is trading away the combination of CMC and Malik Neighbors for JSN.
105:44you have the top end running back production where you can get away with this.
105:50I think this is definitely a fair trade, but like your wide receiver two would be Rome and your potential flex would be
105:56Jacobe.
105:59So like man, I don't know, man.
106:25Your team needs depth. I don't know if you're in a position where you can be affording to make two for one deals.
106:36I don't think you can now scenarios here for the flex.
106:56If Evans plays, it's pretty easy you go through and play Mike Evans. I'm not really going to be able to answer this
107:03question for you tonight because we are not gonna get all the clarity we need.
107:07Right now, it sounds like Mike Evans gonna try playing through this, but he's also going to be a game time decision.
107:19So if he is a game time decision and we don't know by the time you got to make this call, there's a world in which you got to play
107:30Keenan Allen tomorrow morning.
107:39Now, what the flock here, tight ends, I would go craft over Lovelind Flexis Amarian, Malik Neighbors, and
107:50Jordan Addison pretty easily here, man.
107:53Um, I understand that two of these names have been horrific.
107:58So, I get wanting to avoid them. Now, White Chocolate here at quarterback between Bo as well as Kyler.
108:07I will go Kyler Murray if it's a four-point pass passing touchdown format because hopefully he'll start running the ball a bit, but obviously not super
108:17high expectations.
108:21Um, with no Justin Jefferson, like I was initially planning on rolling with Kyler Murray as my streamer this week. I'd
108:30literally traded $5 fab for him, which again, keep in mind, I have $1,200 fab.
108:36So very very little. Um and then once Jefferson was ruled out, I was like, "Oh crap, now I got to go get Bryce Young
108:43instead.
108:45So I don't think it's easy, but Bo Nicks is
108:58in that tough matchup." And then in the tight end slot, I would go Jawan over Craft. And then in the flex probably
109:06neighbors here but again it's tough now Tony for wide receiver Z actually Parker Washington's the auto start and then
109:17Z Flowers Aaron Jones I would go Z Flowers if we get positive word regarding his availability and the amount of snaps he'll play, the amount
109:26of routes he's going to run. if it seems like he may be limited again. Aaron Jones is like the safest play in all of
109:33fantasy football this week given the matchup.
109:37Okay, now Ben's Mafia, a longtime member of the Flock. I'm always happy to see you, man. Trading away Chuba, Christian
109:47Watson for Bree, Nico, and Tyler Warren.
109:52Um, you're taking the shortterm hit here, but you're definitely getting the long-term upside. So, it's really just going to come down to what's your setup
110:01with like your record. If you're a three and 0 team, it makes a lot of sense to go
110:10get Bree as well as Nico at this cost.
110:15Now, short bus here at receiver, we have no Jefferson. We have no Devont Smith.
110:20You're gonna have to play Lad over like Marv. And then at running back, I probably go with RJ Harvey or Madre Stevenson's tough.
110:32Probably Raadre with RJ Harvey literally getting nothing as a rusher this past week. I think he had two carries. The only touches he had were through the
110:40air.
110:41Okay, so now our next question is going to be from Chris.
110:47Says, "Point per completion for quarterback. feel like that makes other quarterbacks more valuable. Going to bet on May and Stream.
110:58Here's the deal with Momes.
111:05They had 47 pass attempts against the Indianapolis Colts in week two. I know in week one as well as week three, they
111:12were blowout games by the Chiefs. So, you didn't get a ton of Mahomes pass attempts, a ton of Patrick Mahomes completions, but I do think they may
111:20come.
111:22Now, it doesn't matter. This cost is phenomenal. You go and get Trey McBride there at that cost if you can.
111:30Okay, now let's go over and see what we have from
111:39um C Peterson real quick. says, "I made this trade after Thursday Night Football. Still a good trade with Rico coming back. I got Warren."
111:49Um, oh yes, you want the Jaylen Warren side of this. I think you accidentally put it in on the opposite. Um, but
111:56Rashad White looks like he's a literal zero at this point. So, you traded Stefon Diggs for Jaylen Warren, who I mean, he played pretty damn well. I
112:05would assume again that he is the starting running back over Dowel when Dowel does come back.
112:12Okay, now our next question.
112:18I'm gonna save the team reviews for tomorrow. It is almost 1:00 a.m. here.
112:25So, I'm going to give myself a little bit of sleep tonight. We got a big big day tomorrow. Now, Flex, no Devont
112:33Smith, no Jadarian Price. You're going to play probably Emanuel Wilson and Mark Andrews. I know Jaylen Wright's listed as the starter for the Miami backfield,
112:41but no way you can trust M any Miami running back this week against the Vikings.
112:47Now, Herz donut trading away Bryce Young to upgrade to Caleb, Woody Mars to upgrade a Tuton, Jordan Addison to upgrade a burden, and you are paying
112:56Malik Neighbors to get it done. Yes, you for sure do. This be very different if Neighbors was 100% healthy and at the
113:04same time Jackson Dart never got hurt.
113:08Okay, now Walker with this next question here for the flex.
113:29Conception's already played. I can't trust any Dolphin. I'm not tr playing Malik Washington.
113:36It's either Raadre or Keenan. And honestly, I do think it's up to you there. I bet Keenan probably is ahead in
113:43the projections given the fact the Colts are in a very good spot. And Keenan had a ton of target volume last week. Okay.
113:55Now, Kurdog says Sup. I don't hate his offer, but trying to convince him to take Ky
114:02instead or do I accept?
114:10Okay, James Cook to Jamar Chase upgrade
114:20Flowers to Breeze downgrade with the injury. It's a 10 team, two receiver, one flux format.
114:28It's fine if you do this. It would look a lot better if you send him Kiran instead of James Cook. If you send him
114:34Kairen instead of Cook, I think you do it. And again, if you are trading for one of these injured guys like Bree Hall
114:41at a discount, I I want that discount to really be there.
114:46Okay, now Gabe Miller with our next one.
114:50Trading away Burrow and Alier for Denzel Boston. I know you have party man, but especially in a 14 team format, there's
114:58no way this is the best player you're getting for Joe Burrow.
115:06You need to play Burrow here.
115:10Now, Sam D. Fantasy, I would play Brillin Allen over Amari and Hampton. Wide receiver, you play Higgins, Watson. Tight end, you're going
115:21to go Andrews. And then in the flex, I'd play Rasheed Rice over Amari Hampton. I actually think you bench Hampton on that
115:28team.
115:31Now Wes Wilk here at wide receiver.
115:38You play Josh DS over Burden and Ibuka with how good the matchup is. And then you obviously have to play Belle Tutin
115:44in the flex in a game environment that should be super high scoring. And then Noa trading away DeAndre Swift Quinn Sean Judkins for Bay Shell Tutin as well
115:54as Bree Hall. I think I would do this again while Judkins looked very good on Thursday night. I don't think it's the
116:01worst sell high spot, but I think that's all I'm going to have for this live stream tonight.
116:11Um, I will see y'all on the live stream tomorrow. It's almost 1:00 a.m. here. I know we have some team reviews we got to
116:17get through on the site. They'll be the first things that we do in tomorrow's stream, but I will hopefully get to see you
116:26tomorrow night. also have a video I'm recording in the morning going through all the last minute injury stuff. But thank you again. Appreciate you and I'll
116:35see you out in the live stream tomorrow night. And then I should also be able to answer a ton of the free YouTube chat
116:40questions. Mrs. Flock and I went to dinner tonight which is why the live stream started super late so we don't have time for the free questions in the
116:47chat. thought again.
