I Traded To Save My Season

Flock Fantasy strongly recommends trading for AJ Brown if you are 3-0 and can afford it, calling it a 'hell yeah' move. The source notes that Trey Judkins hasn't scored 10 points in a game this year, making the trade easy to justify.

Alvin Kamara is overvalued relative to Jeremiah Love. The source, who owns both Kamara and Christian Watson on their own fantasy team, would trade both in a heartbeat for Jeremiah Love, calling it a smash trade and no-brainer that must be made immediately.

Amari Cooper is in a horrible situation with the Chargers, a garbage offense that is not targeting him. Flock Fantasy assesses Cooper as stuck on the roster with limited trade options and recommends hoping for improvement, as the player is not getting targets in his direction.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is rated as a slight downgrade compared to Puka Nacua in a proposed trade.

Blake Corum is the running back two for a 1-2 team with critical injuries to Devon Achane and Breece Hall out for multiple weeks. The source views Corum as an inadequate starter given the team's desperate need for immediate production at running back and suggests trading for alternatives.

Breece Hall is injured and will miss the next couple of weeks, making him unplayable in the short term. The source advises selling Breece Hall and packaging him with another asset (like Jaden Daniels) to acquire a running back that is currently healthy and playable. Additionally, the source suggests flipping another player for Hall as a potential trade to acquire an injured player with long-term upside.

Brock Bowers is identified as a potential trade target from a team that lost Breece Hall and is desperate for running back help. The source suggests an aggressive trade package (Malik Neighbors, Kyler Murray, James Cook for Brock Bowers and another asset) could work in this specific Superflex league setup with tight end premium scoring. The source also rates Brock Bowers as a massive upgrade over Pettis in a trade evaluation.

Purdy is the QB1 for a 0-3 team and should be held. While he is evaluated as QB2 for many teams and a candidate for the trade block in general, in this specific roster context he is the QB1 and the source recommends not overreacting to the team's poor start at the quarterback position.

The source prefers Bryce Young over Kyler Murray for this week's matchup, noting the Panthers game has an over-under of 50.5 points (higher than Vikings-Dolphins), and suggests Young is a buy the week after this week.

The source rates Bucky Irving as an upgrade over Garrett Wilson in a trade, suggesting the Hertz/Wilson/Watson for Bowers/Irving deal is worth considering if the team is thin at running back.

CJ Stroud is available on the waiverwire and is the source's second choice for quarterback streaming. He gets to play at home against the Dallas Cowboys, which is a favorable matchup. However, his viability depends on Nico Collins returning from injury, as the source states 'my second choice would be CJ Stroud who gets to play at home against the Dallas Cowboys. If he gets Nico Collins back.' CJ Stroud has a strong matchup this week, though long-term he is part of a weak quarterback situation on the roster in a Superflex league where QB production is critical; the source notes 'they at least have strong matchups this week' but 'rest of season to have these guys QB1 and QB2 absolutely sucks.' There's a chance he could have a really good game this week, which could create trade opportunities afterward.

Tate is a rookie wide receiver expected to expand his role as the season progresses and improve like most rookies. The source suggests he could be part of a two-for-one trade package to upgrade the flex position in week five.

CeeDee Lamb is identified as a potential upgrade target. Flock Fantasy suggests a two-for-one trade of Tutton and Nico Collins could potentially reach Lamb on a team with weak running back depth.

Brown is a stud running back worth holding onto rather than trading away, even in a struggling team situation. The source strongly prefers Chase Brown over Kairen Williams in a trade, citing the Cincinnati Bengals' great offense and Brown's excellent workload. While Brown has not scored touchdowns yet, the source projects touchdowns are coming soon. Brown is not going to perform worse in the short term than the long term, making him a target rather than a sell candidate.

The source expresses strong approval of Christian McCaffrey as the RB1 for the 3-0 team, noting top-end production at the running back position.

Christian Watson is overvalued relative to Jeremiah Love. The source, who owns both Watson and Alvin Kamara on their own fantasy team, would trade both in a heartbeat for Jeremiah Love, calling it a smash trade and no-brainer. In a separate trade scenario, Watson is viewed as very similar to Parker Washington, suggesting the trade between them is relatively even from a positional standpoint.

In a double-flex league format, the source advises against trading away Loveland to upgrade at tight end unless receiving an incredible price tag such as Brock Bowers or Trey McBride. The source suggests keeping Loveland in the lineup given the league's two-flex requirement.

D'Andre Swift is less valuable than Nico Collins in a trade comparison; the source prefers Nico pretty easily over Swift. Swift is also part of a trade offer alongside Deshaun Watson for Tee Higgins, but the source does not provide explicit recommendation on that specific trade.

Dalvin Cook is flagged as a potential trade candidate to improve roster construction. The source suggests 'Jefferson and Cook might have to go' as part of addressing the team's weak overall performance and scoring issues.

The source supports rostering Darren Waller due to a strong matchup this week and increased work from the Jaylen Coker injury, making him a viable option despite being on the bench. The source states 'I'm not going to fault you for rostering Darren Waller at this point because one, the matchup obviously is pretty damn strong that he has this week. And then two, obviously at the same time, you do have the Jaylen Coker injury making it where he's probably going to see a little bit more work.'

Source evaluates a trade of Waddle and Montgomery for Bucky and Downs in a 12-team double flex league, rating it as a very fair deal that comes down to personal preference.

David Montgomery is part of a team's running back depth and is identified as a primary trade asset. The source suggests pairing Montgomery with Kyler Murray to target teams desperate for running back help, specifically mentioning 'try to move like the Montgomery Kyler combo to get an upgrade somewhere' at quarterback or tight end positions.

Devon Achane is out for the entire season, creating a catastrophic roster impact for the team that drafted him in the first or second round. The source identifies losing a top-tier pick to injury as a primary reason why that team is currently bottom-three in league standings; losing such a high-value asset puts the roster in a severely compromised position.

Deario Douglas is recommended as a waiver wire cut in start-nine format to free up roster space for running back depth. The source would cut Douglas easily to pick up Olly Gordon as a third running back.

Deshaun Watson is part of a trade offer alongside D'Andre Swift for Tee Higgins; the source does not provide explicit recommendation but the trade is being evaluated.

Drake May has scored 9.8, 8, and 3.8 fantasy points in his first three weeks and is described as 'a certified bum' by Flock Fantasy. He is unstartable and being benched despite facing the Buffalo Bills in week four, with the host stating 'there's no way in hell that I can trot this dude back out there in my starting lineup.' The host notes that with a real quarterback, they would be 3-0 instead of having a losing record. As somebody who has Drake May on their team, the host would trade him in a heartbeat for viable alternatives like Dak Prescott or Tyler Shuck.

Source evaluates Montgomery to Downs in a trade, rating it as favoring Montgomery and calling the full Waddle/Montgomery for Bucky/Downs deal very fair and dependent on personal preference.

Flock Fantasy recommends cutting Emanuel Wilson to free up roster space. The source suggests dropping him and picking up Olly Gordon instead as a higher-upside option.

The source evaluates Garrett Wilson in multiple trade scenarios: as part of a deal for Saquon and Trey Tucker (advises against due to Tucker's poor value), and as part of a Hertz/Wilson/Watson for Brock Bowers/Bucky Irving deal (suggests only if thin at running back).

The source expresses concern about Gino Smith as a starting quarterback in a 10-team league, saying 'we got problems' and recommending the team trade for a better quarterback.

The source identifies Isaiah Likely as a long-term tight end pivot option once Jordan Tyson returns from injury, allowing the team to ride the hot hand and play matchups at tight end. The source prefers Isaiah Likely over Jake Ferguson as a tight end streaming option, positioning him as the better choice in the range of available streaming-tier tight ends.

JK Dobbins is part of a trade offer alongside Terry McLaurin for Ladd McConkey. Flock Fantasy recommends accepting the McConkey side of the deal, implying Dobbins is the less valuable component in the trade.

The source strongly prefers the Jamar Chase and Kenneth Walker side of a multi-player trade, rating Chase to Rasheed Rice as a massive downgrade and saying he'd take the Chase/Walker side pretty easily.

The source explicitly states he does not value Jaylen Coker at all and doubts the player will ever be able to secure a starting lineup spot in fantasy leagues. The source also notes Coker is injured, contributing to his team's wide receiver depth crisis. However, in a separate trade comparison, the source rates Coker as a slight preference over DK Metcalf.

Jalen Hurts is identified as a potential quarterback upgrade target in trade discussions. The source suggests approaching a team to upgrade from Kyler Murray to Hurts while also sending David Montgomery as part of the deal.

James Cook is part of a team's running back depth alongside David Montgomery, Jaylen Warren, and others. The source identifies Cook as a primary trade asset candidate to move in deals targeting teams desperate for running back production, with potential packages aimed at quarterback or tight end upgrades. The source also notes the team's running back depth (Cook and Jaylen Warren) is in good shape and not a priority for trades.

Javonte Williams is a strong trade target for teams needing running back depth. The source identifies him as a potential acquisition for an injured 1-2 team and prefers the Williams side over Amari Hampton, citing that the Dallas Cowboys offense will generate significantly more red zone opportunities than the Chargers. However, the source notes Williams is only worth acquiring if a team is desperately thin at running back; otherwise, trading for him (e.g., Parker Washington to Javonte Williams and Golden) represents a downgrade.

Jaden Daniels is unavailable, creating a significant roster hole for a 1-2 team. The source suggests packaging Jaden Daniels with Breece Hall to trade for an immediate-impact running back to address the team's critical need for production.

Jaylen Waddle is the WR3 on the roster and a depth piece that could be leveraged in trades to upgrade starting lineup positions. Flock Fantasy rates Waddle below Bucky in a trade comparison, evaluating the full Waddle/Montgomery for Bucky/Downs deal as very fair and dependent on personal preference.

Warren is positioned for strong short-term production as the RB3 for a 3-0 team. The source expects him to absolutely smash until Rico Dattle returns, and recommends considering trading Warren in week five after he performs well against Cleveland before Dattle takes over. Warren projects out incredibly well at the moment with no Dattle in the picture. The source identifies Warren as a running back to target in the short term, noting he's not going to perform worse in the near future than the long term; part of a balanced running back group that shouldn't be sold.

Jeremiah Love is significantly undervalued in the trade market and represents a smash-trade opportunity. The source, who owns both Alvin Kamara and Christian Watson, would trade both in a heartbeat for Love, calling it a no-brainer that must be made immediately. Love is identified as a potential trade target for a 1-2 team with multiple injuries (Devon Achane, Breece Hall out for weeks) and is also mentioned as a potential acquisition target via trade for teams desperate at running back. The source notes that while selling Amari Cooper for Love would be ideal, it is much easier said than done.

Jordan Love is a starting quarterback on a team that could potentially be targeted for trades; the source considers whether that team would trade for Dak Prescott.

The source expects Jordan Tyson to arrive within a few weeks, which will likely result in a target share decline for Jawan Johnson.

Justin Herbert is a starting quarterback on a team that could potentially be targeted for trades; the source considers whether that team would trade for Dak Prescott.

Justin Jefferson's injury status is critical to the source's quarterback decision. He played only five snaps last week, and his availability this week against Miami will determine whether the source starts Kyler Murray or pivots to the waiverwire. The Vikings have a strong implied team total of 25 points against Miami. Jefferson is expected to be fine and will play, clearing the way for his return to action and reducing the need to roster backup tight end options. The source notes that Jefferson's injury situation would be evaluated differently if it were expected to sideline him for a considerable amount of time; the speaker discloses ownership bias, hoping the player recovers fully, suggesting the injury is not expected to be long-term. The source views Justin Jefferson as a stud receiver worth holding onto rather than trading away, even in a struggling team situation; Jefferson is positioned as a core asset not to be sold. Source evaluates a trade of Justin Jefferson for Parker Washington and T, calling it a fair deal; source has Jefferson on their own team.

The source recommends starting Jawan Johnson at tight end in the short term for the 3-0 team, with the option to pivot to Isaiah Likely once Jordan Tyson returns. However, the source prefers Travis Kelce over Jawan Johnson for rest-of-season value, expressing concern that Jordan Tyson will likely come in within a few weeks and the target share will go down for Johnson.

Khalif Raymond is recommended as a waiver wire pickup option in deeper double-flex league formats. The source lists him among the top options to replace Isaiah Williams, though he ranks behind Olly Gordon, Jacobe Meyers, and Mai Lemon as a secondary target.

The source recommends picking up Kenneth Gainwell off the waiver wire as part of running back depth optimization for a struggling team.

Kenneth Walker is rated as a slight upgrade over Bejon in a multi-player trade. The source prefers the Kenneth Walker and Jamar Chase side of the deal pretty easily.

Kyler Murray was acquired via trade (Kyle Pitts and minimal FAB budget) as a backup quarterback. He scored 10.5 fantasy points last week and is the source's planned starter if Justin Jefferson plays. The Vikings have an implied team total of 25 points against Miami and project to be one of the better offenses on the week, making Kyler a viable streaming option if Jefferson is healthy. However, Kyler and Bryce Young are just streaming quarterbacks where you play the matchup; the Vikings have an 83% chance of winning with a 10.5-point spread and the Dolphins have a projected total of 13.5 points, making it a bad matchup for Miami. Kyler has a good matchup this week with a chance to have a really good game, which could create trade opportunities afterward. The source strongly recommends cutting Kyler Murray and picking up Joe Burrow off the waiver wire instead, indicating that Burrow is a significantly better option at the quarterback position.

Flock Fantasy recommends trading for Ladd McConkey in exchange for JK Dobbins and Terry McLaurin, stating he would take the McConkey side of the deal because he does not value Jaylen Coker at all and doubts Coker will ever secure a starting lineup spot in fantasy leagues.

Nico Collins' injury status directly affects the source's quarterback decision. If Collins returns, the source will target CJ Stroud against Dallas. If Collins misses and Justin Jefferson also misses, the source will cut Kyler Murray and pick up Bo Nix instead, despite the tougher San Francisco matchup. Nico Collins is preferred over Swift in a trade comparison; the source gives Nico 'pretty easily' when evaluating Nico versus Swift.

Ollie Gordon is a priority waiver wire pickup for teams lacking running back depth, particularly those who lost Devon Achane. The source recommends picking him up as the first option to address the loss. If Gordon hits and becomes startable, the source notes it would be absolutely massive for a team without running back depth, positioning him as a potential league-winner type pickup.

Parker Washington is mentioned as a potential trade piece in a double-flex league; could be packaged with Colston Loveland to acquire elite tight ends like Brock Bowers or Trey McBride, but the source advises against such moves unless receiving an incredible price. The source also views Parker Washington as very similar to Christian Watson in trade value. In another trade scenario, the source characterizes trading Washington away for Javonte Williams and Golden as a downgrade, suggesting Washington has more value than the return.

Patrick Mahomes is identified as a potential trade target for quarterback upgrade. The source suggests approaching a team with JK Dobbins as RB2 and Josh Jacobs suspended, proposing to send one of the team's quarterbacks and Montgomery to upgrade to Mahomes.

Puka Nacua is a lateral move compared to Gentry with significant health uncertainty; the source notes it depends on risk tolerance, as Puka could be well ahead of Gentry but there is uncertainty about his health status. The source advises against trading Gentry for Puka without getting a discount, citing the lack of clear upgrade value and the risk of taking on Puka's injury concerns without compensation.

Quentin Johnston appears in trade discussions as a secondary option. In one scenario, the source suggests checking if a team would trade Johnston for a quarterback to bolster running back depth. In a dynasty context, Johnston is part of a package (alongside Sean Judkins and three first-round picks) offered for Jamir Gibbs; the source evaluates the package as fair but recommends Gibbs in one-QB formats and the picks in superflex.

The source evaluates R.J. Harvey in a trade for Bryce Young and Stefon Diggs, noting that the trade outcome depends on personal preference between Harvey and Diggs since the quarterbacks are just streaming options.

Romeo Doubs is averaging only six fantasy points per game and Flock Fantasy recommends cutting him in favor of Wandel Robinson, who is averaging almost 10 fantasy points per game, suggesting Doubs is underperforming and expendable.

Stefon Diggs is in the flex position for a 1-2 team with critical running back injuries (Devon Achane out for season, Breece Hall out for weeks), which the source views as an inadequate lineup construction given the team's urgent need for immediate production at running back.

The source recommends cutting Tank Bigsby as part of waiver wire optimization to improve running back depth on a struggling team.

Higgins is listed as a starting wide receiver for a 3-0 team in a two-receiver, one-flex format. He is also a trade target in an offer where the owner would give up Deshaun Watson and D'Andre Swift.

Terry McLaurin is part of a trade offer alongside JK Dobbins for Ladd McConkey. Flock Fantasy recommends accepting the McConkey side of the deal, implying McLaurin is the less valuable component in the trade.

The source prefers Travis Kelce over Jawan Johnson for rest-of-season value, noting that Kelce 'honestly looks damn good' and expressing concern about Johnson's target share declining when Jordan Tyson arrives within a few weeks.

The source rates Trey Tucker as barely worth a roster spot and advises against any trade that includes him, saying he shouldn't be part of a deal.
