0:00What's going on, man? Welcome back to the basement. I'm Ron and every week I hop on here and give you guys fantasy
0:06football trade targets, but it's a little different in November. Trade deadlines are coming up here. So, we are no longer operating in a vacuum and
0:15making trades for fun. Now, we have problems to solve on our team and a deadline. So, we need to be moving with
0:22urgency. There is now kind of a ticking clock on the amount of time we have to fill holes. Prepare for the playoffs.
0:28Prepare to win right now. If you're a team that is struggling in three and five or four and four, scrapping and
0:34calling for wins. We're going to cover it all today through the lens of the trade deadline. As always, if you enjoy,
0:40leave a like, subscribe if you're new, and we are going to talk about my six must buy low trade targets for week nine
0:47of the fantasy football season. Starting with Justin Jefferson. Now, this one's not that complicated and your league mates are going to obviously know that
0:57Carson Wentz is coming back, but Carson Wentz coming back is a big deal and one that I'd be willing to buy a little bit
1:03high on with Jefferson if this kind of boosts his value up a little bit. We have here it sounds like Carson Wentz is
1:08going to start this Monday. And if that's the case, that's a huge bump for Jefferson. If we look at just the JJ
1:14McCarthy era, so 2025 to 2026, he averages 17 points per game with Carson Wentz. He averages 10.5 points per game with all other quarterbacks. Wentz is
1:24weirdly a really huge boost for him in fantasy football and he gets a smash spot this week verse the Bills who are
1:31allowing the fourth most points to opposing wide receivers. And with Josh Allen on the other side, even though the Vikings defense is so good, you're going
1:37to be in a spot where the game script is going to be one that is going to be highscoring trying to chase Josh Allen
1:42from behind most likely. I believe the Vikings are underdogs in this game.
1:46Yeah, they are three-point underdogs in this game. So, they should be trying to catch up with Josh Allen, scoring points, airing it out. And Jefferson's a
1:55guy who whoever took him in the first round is probably hurting right now. 14 PBR points last week. That was I don't want to call it lucky cuz it's
2:06Jefferson, but Aaron Jones gets tackled at the one yard line. Then there's a Justin Jefferson fade ball. He scores a touchdown. Outside of the touchdown, you
2:12would have had like four catches for 30 yards in this game against Detroit, which was supposed to be a smash spot.
2:18he has done nothing but disappoint in fantasy football. So, I would be looking to buy again. Your league mate who has
2:24Jefferson's going to know that Carson Wentz is an upgrade. Maybe not to what extent. There's also a chance that if Carson Wentz wins this game, they beat
2:32the Bills. All of the sudden Carson Wentz is the starting quarterback for the rest of the season and that'd be a
2:37huge boost for Jefferson. Now we move over to fantasycal.com/database and we check out what the market is paying for Jefferson over the last few
2:49days. We're going to do two to three assets in the deal. One quarterback, 12 teams, half and full PPR. And let's see.
2:56I would obviously sell Coleman for Jefferson likely for Jefferson. Garrett Wilson and AJ Brown. I actually like that a ton for Jefferson. Uh would I do
3:04I would do Luther Burden for Jefferson.
3:05As much as I love Luther Burden, I think that that's just a no-brainer. If I could take Pickins and Algeria obviously
3:12for Jefferson, I would do that. So you guys can see I mean there's there's obviously some deals here where like I
3:18mean we're talking I mean I'm not selling neighbors for Jefferson and Chump Change. That's just not happening.
3:22But there are some reasonable offers there. I'd be kicking the tires.
3:26Jefferson is a game-changing player and I do think with Wentz it kind of unlocks a lot of upside here. And then of course
3:32Jefferson puts together a game, two games, three games of really high production.
3:37his name is always going to hold value and hold weight. I think that you can kind of look to sell after that or if
3:42Went is the starter for the foreseeable future, you can just ride it out with Justin Jefferson. Now, our next trade target this one, you guys have to let me
3:51have just let me have two studs here.
3:53All right, two studs up top. Jefferson's not really a stud. He's been underperforming. Bejon's a stud. If we drafted today, he would still be a top
3:59six pick at worst, but there is some panic. I've had a Bjon manager in one of my leagues reach out trying to sell
4:08Bejon to me. I saw, of course, in the flock league, Bejon got dealt over there. The Bejian members are struggling right now or owner owners, managers,
4:17whatever you want to call them are struggling right now. Over the last five, six, seven, eight in terms of the last four games here, 11.9 points per
4:26game. That's just not going to cut it from your first round pick. But before that, he was at 26 points per game. I
4:31know that we can get really nerdy and we can point to, oh, he's not getting targets anymore and this and that and
4:36Michael Pennix isn't dumping it down as much. At the end of the day, I do want to just zoom out and say it's Bejon
4:41Robinson. He still projects as a top five running back in any given week. I think that again he would still be a
4:47mid-first round pick if we reddrafted today. Again, I cannot stress enough it is Bejon Robinson. They play against the Bengals this week overseas and I just
4:55think that he is going to be a really nice bounceback candidate. And I mention him because when I bring up these studs,
5:03these guys are in this rare era, right?
5:05Right now, Gibbs, JS are up there. Then I'd probably throw Kenneth Walker in, though he is coming off of back-to-back down games here. But then we are in this
5:15range of guys who are good. I would even put Puka in there as well. But those guys are like untouchable. You can't go
5:21out there and trade for Jir Gibbs, Bejon Robinson. Right now, there is a window to buy. It's not going to be cheap, but
5:27there is a window to buy where if you wanted to upgrade something, if you had players popping off right now, right?
5:32Like if you could take and I love DeAndre Swift. I don't even think DeAndre Swift is a sell, but any of
5:36these guys who are producing in the short term, right? Like a DeAndre Swift.
5:39Uh I'm trying to think of like another even Luther I love you. I love Luther Burton as well, but any of these guys
5:44that are like hot names right now. I know the Bears just played in prime time. That's why they're top of mind for
5:49me. But if I could take one of those guys, add another piece, and then tier up. If you have some extra bench depth
5:55that you're not using every single week in your lineup, this is when you take one of those bench pieces, you add them
6:01to your running back who is scoring a lot of points right now, and you go and get a Bejian Robinson. Let's see. I'm
6:08very curious to see on the market what he's going for. We actually have a Swift deal off the top. And again, I like
6:13Swift. All right. But Swift and Saquon for Bejon easily. Would I do Kirn and Burden? Yeah, I would. I would do Kirn
6:20and Burden for Bejon. Uh, would I do JT and Burden? Ooh, yeah, I would. I would. Uh, Aman Ron
6:30Coker. Yeah, I would. Uh, so I mean, these are all really reasonable offers.
6:34Would I do McBride and Swift?
6:38If I had a tight end behind McBride that I was comfortable starting every week, I probably would. And you can see in a lot
6:43of these, we're even losing these. And I'm saying yeah, I still would for Bjon Olve and Jacobs. Yeah. Nico and Jacobs.
6:49Yeah. So you guys can see just kick the tires. James Cook and J Mo.
6:54I would, but that's like as much as I would pay. You know what I mean? That's like that's as much as I could do. Wow.
6:59T and Warren in a start seven. So there's only
7:11two wide receiver, two flex.
7:15This is my breaking point. I' I'd have to I'd have to think long and hard. If I if I couldn't afford to wait for the
7:20Jaylen Warren buy this week and I was down bad and I needed running back points and I was set at wide receiver
7:25probably. But on face value, this is about fair value to me. But that's also because I'm just higher than consensus on both T and Jaylen Warren. Moving on
7:33to our next trade target here. I feel like we've talked about him a ton this year. I'm still buying Chase Brown. He
7:38out touched Perine 20 to 5 in this game against the Titans. Chase Brown also had I think like a 20-yard reception
7:44touchdown called back due to penalty.
7:47The points are coming. This Bengals offense is firing on all cylinders. We want pieces of it. And we have Chase Brown going against the Falcons on the
7:55other side of this Bejon game. The Falcons allow the fourth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. I think finally this is going to be the 20
8:03plus PPR point game for Chase Brown. the last spot to buy low on Chase Brown for the rest of the season. I know he had a
8:10decent game against the Titans, but again, he still hasn't topped 20 PPR points this year. And maybe some people are squeamish about Jonathan Taylor's
8:18trade risk. I'm not going to act like there's a 0% chance that happens. I think it's unlikely. I think the Bengals
8:24are just one of these teams. I know they did it, they already did it for uh Dexter Lawrence. I just don't see them
8:28being aggressive again. Uh, they love to sit on their hands, make bad moves, you know, draft Shamar Stewart in the first
8:36round.
8:38I don't know. I don't want to [ __ ] on the Bengals because they have a good team, but this would not be one of the
8:44teams uh that I think are going to be like ultra aggressive in season trying to do anything uh among those lines for
8:50Jonathan Taylor. But there's no guarantee. Now, in terms of what it takes to acquire Chase Brown, all right, this first deal, we're not we're not
8:57doing JSN. Uh, Dererick Henry for Chase Brown. Where do I have I think I would have Dererick Henry over Chase Brown
9:02right now. I do. I have Dererick Henry RB15 rest of season. Chase Brown RB1 17 rest of season. So, I have Chase Brown
9:08as like a mid-range RB2. Uh, moving forward. I will say if you want access to my rest of season rankings, you can
9:14find that over on the Patreon, not that the Patreon, patreon.com/rrons. You can find that in the description in the comments section down below. I have all
9:21my rest of season rankings tiered, my top 150. All of that can be found over there to make sure you are kind of
9:28looking off of it and eyeballing things as you're making these deals. Would I do Man, he's not going for cheap, huh? I
9:37would do Garrett Wilson for Chase Brown if uh I was set at receiver. Would I do Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston pretty
9:44easily? Jonah Coleman for Chase Brown.
9:46Yeah, I have Jonah Coleman RB21.
9:49Jonah Coleman. I I was gonna call him.
9:51He's such a tricky one because the Broncos could trade for JT. When RJ Harvey comes back, what does that look like? But Jonah Coleman's probably a guy
9:59you want to hold on to. Like Jonah Coleman could be one of the guy, one of the stories of the 2026 season. Uh this
10:05is another I mean obviously Chase Brown and we're taking Bejon in that one. Uh is there anything else that sticks out
10:10here? Ibuka and Olly Gordon for Chase Brown. Love that. I would do that all day long. I actually I almost made IA a
10:17trade target here. It's just so tricky with these injuries, man. He's still banged up. He wasn't practicing uh as recently as Wednesday. He played this in
10:27a prime time game. He could reagravate things. Was this Rashi Rice and Raandre?
10:32No, I can't do it. All right, I'll be honest with you guys. Chase Brown isn't as cheap as I thought he was. He is not
10:37as cheap as I thought he was. Like these are this is that's expensive. Rashi Rice and Jonah Coleman, Gentian Cornell Tate,
10:43that's expensive. Burden for Chase Brown and Waddle.
10:48That seems fine, but still still a little expensive. Would I do Rashi Rice for Chase Brown? Yeah, I would do that
10:53pretty easily. So, you guys can see Chase Brown. Maybe you can't buy as low as I wanted to, but I still do think
10:59that he is a fine trade target. The by-week is behind him. I think he has a potential spike week coming. Now,
11:04somebody you definitely can buy low on is Travis Kelce. It's Travis Kelce. It's not sexy. But if you're in a spot where
11:10the tight end you're starting every week you don't like, like if you're starting a Brenton Strange, Tigle Conquo, Pat Friouth, if you have some extra value
11:16sitting on your bench, why not go uh knock on the door of the Travis Kion owner. See what you can get or see what
11:22you can give to get him. He has five plus targets in each of his last three games coming out of the by-week. Yes,
11:27he's questionable with an ankle injury.
11:29Uh limited in practice Wednesday. Seems like he's going to be good to go. If that's the case, I think he's going to
11:33be fine this week. He had seven targets, five catches, 67 yards with Rashi Rice.
11:38He just hasn't scored a touchdown recently. The Chiefs are projected for the third most points this week verse the Jets. I think you can almost shoe it
11:46in that he's going to score a touchdown here. I think that he is a fringe top five play this week and somebody you can
11:51trade for on the low, plug right in your lineup and feel really good about your tight end spot. He's not going to win
11:56you a league, but he could be a nice upgrade if you are starting terrible options in your tight end spot. Let's
12:04see what he is going for on the market.
12:07Like, yeah, this is what I'm talking about. Like, Montgomery for Kelsey, easy. If Odun is not in my starting lineup, Adun for Kelsey, easy. If Alier
12:12is not going in my lineup, Alier for Kelsey. uh if like any any player that's not going in your lineup and if Kelsey
12:19would be a legit upgrade over again like I I'll read off tight ends that I would have as comfortably behind Kelsey this
12:26week would be uh Brett Strange Conquo Mikei Eli Raridan like Jawan Johnson any of those types Kelsey would be a big
12:37upgrade over those guys so you guys can see like I don't even have to go any further. Uh he's pretty much free, man.
12:43Like Denzel Boston for Kelsey. If he's not going in your lineup, uh that makes sense to me as well. Then we have our
12:50next trade target here. And this one takes balls. This one isn't quite the oh, he's going to go crazy this week. I
12:55do think he's going to be okay. Uh but I'd kick the tires on Ashton Genty. If he's if he's trading at like a low-end
13:00RB2 price, I like buying there. He's my RB16 rest of season. So I have him as like a mid to high-end RB2, but I think
13:07he has a lot of upside here. He's still getting healthy from the ankle stuff.
13:12And I do think that this past game was insane in terms of his usage. He had two carries. He had two carries in this game
13:22against the Jets. They killed the Jets.
13:23They gave Mike Washington a ton of work here, but he still got 10.3 PPR points.
13:28He has yet to leave a game without scoring 10 PPR points. He had four targets, three catches for 64 yards. He
13:34has had 50 or more receiving yards in four of his last five games. is the receiving role is just really good.
13:39That's what I was going to show here.
13:41This is from a few weeks ago, but it still holds strong that it's essentially him and Jir Gibbs in terms of guys that
13:45are getting 10 plus PPR points per game strictly from the receiving game. Even last week in a down game, he got 9.4
13:52points per game in the receiving game.
13:54It's unreal. The yards per run is unreal. He's efficient as a receiver.
13:57He's getting downfield looks. And then this is one where you just got to read between the lines with Kubak. This is
14:03from Dan Graiano here saying Genty hasn't played well while Washington has and the Raiders hope it serves as a wakeup call. If it doesn't, they're
14:08content to distribute the carries in Washington's favor moving forward as he offers a more explosive element in the run game right now. I think this was
14:15more of a warning than it is this is how it's going to look like for the rest of the season. But again, this is a gamble.
14:20This is a gamble that this was a oneweek thing in that moving forward uh this is like a wakeup call to Genty and he gets
14:28an upgrade. And again, even with the receiving workload, he still projects as an RB2 even in a lesser role. But again,
14:35there is upside that he regains the uh kind of like Bellcow role in this offense. I have him as like a low-end
14:41RB2 this week. But he has monster upside honestly this week if they just come out and give him his usual role and upside
14:47rest of the season. This is very much a I don't have a stud running back right now and I want to roll the dice on
14:54someone who could be a stud running back for me at his lowest possible entry point. There has been plenty of times to
14:59buy Ashton Genty. This feels like the lowest he has been all season. I want to call the bottom here. He's playing
15:05against the 49ers who allow the 10th most fantasy points to opposing running backs when adjusting for opponent. And as 10-point underdogs, it's going to
15:12skew heavily towards him in the receiving game. So, I think this is still going to be a game where he catches five balls, 50 plus yards, and
15:20then any touchdowns or rushing work is kind of the cherry on top. Now, I'm actually very curious to see if Genty
15:28managers are panicking. I would assume it, you know, I would assume it's getting real squeamish with the Genty guys. Uh, let's see. Let's see. You know
15:36what? T for Genty. I actually don't hate that. Two guys who are underperforming.
15:39Uh, Michael Wilson and Ollle Gordon. I No, that's too that's too much. That's not quite what I thought we were getting
15:45into here. I mean, I would do DJ Moore for Ash Genty. Obviously, Jeremy Bernard. Would I do Javvante? No, sir.
15:50Would I do not selling James Cook? Uh, would I sell
15:58Bree and Jeremy for Genty?
16:02I don't hate that one. Breandre and Woody Marks. I probably do that as well, but I do Judkins and Ali for Genty.
16:11I actually don't hate that. If like Judkins was sitting on the bench for me, I would do Ali and Judkins for Genty.
16:16But again, like this is a this is a gamble here for sure. But you can see like there's not I I guess it's not you
16:23know people aren't panicking to the point or I guess you know like Jameson Williams for Genty straight up that feels like I like Jameson Williams but
16:30it's probably a great time to sell him he has what does he have five touchdowns in his last three like he has something
16:36crazy right now in terms of how he's running with touchdown luck. Yeah, five touchdowns in his last three games. If you could take Jameson Williams, he
16:42wasn't starting for you. Maybe he's like a luxury piece on your team. J Moenti straight up I think sounds uh about
16:50right now. My last trade target here is a guy on buy. I love the buys on a buy. If you're out there and you are, I
16:59don't know, I'll say six and two or better, but you can get away with it if you're five and three, you're weak at
17:03running back, you can offer somebody uh you know, a Brilin Allen in the short term. Uh Chris Rodriguez if that uh if
17:10two doesn't play tonight. I'm trying to think of more like short term. Woody Marx is another good one. Can you give
17:14somebody some short-term filler, another piece on top, and then can you get Jaylen Warren? Because I think Jaylen Warren has the chance to be one of the
17:23defining players of the 2026 season. I know that that sounds crazy, but he has been awesome. He is the RB10 in points
17:28per game on the year. He is somebody where we're getting graphics like this where he is the only player that is
17:33averaging five plus yards per carry, 250 plus receiving yards, and 400 plus rushing yards. Something that Jir Gibbs can't even say. He has been out of this
17:41world from a talent standpoint. And I get that Dow did return, but since Dow's return in week six, Warren is still the
17:48RB16 in usage and the RB13 in points per game. He has rushed for 100 plus yards in back-to-back games. I just think you
17:55don't get caught up in the usage and the roll and the snaps and this and that.
17:59And I know it's something that I do a ton. It's something I reference all the time, the usage. Like I I love all that
18:03stuff, but at the at the same time, sometimes you got to zoom out and say, "This guy is balling out of his damn
18:08mind." And if you can buy him at like mid-tier to low-end RB2 price tags, I would. If anyone out there is panicking
18:15about Rico Dattle, who has been a factor, no doubt, who has looked better than expected, no doubt. Uh I will say
18:20he did get six carries to Jaylen Warren's two in the fourth quarter of this last game, which was garbage time where they were killing the Browns. So
18:27that has skewed the data a little bit as well. But Warren even got a touchdown in this game. He got I think he got two
18:32separate inside the five carries. It is still Warren. He is still outproducing his volume. He is genuinely one of the best pure runners on this season in
18:43terms of pure running between the tackles in terms of being an explosive receiver in the passing game. I just don't want to overthink it with this
18:50guy. And again, if somebody out there is like, "Oh, he just scored 10 20 PPR points. I am three and five. He's going
18:56on buy. I don't want to wait for him to come off the buy. Can I take a player in the short term and give somebody Jaylen
19:01Warren?" I'd be looking to go in there and scoop up Jaylen Warren. uh as somebody that can just be an absolute
19:07hammer for the playoff stretch run, Aaron Rogers dumps it down to the running backs a ton. I just think that there is a lot of meat on the bone for
19:15Jaylen Warren, even in a back field with Rico Dowel. Now, in terms of what he's actually going for, I mean, I Woody
19:23Marks for Jaylen Warren, this is exactly what I'm talking about, right? Where you take your Woody Marks, your Brilan Allen, uh one of these guys, and you
19:29tear up. Olly Gordon and Debo for Jaylen Warren. Yes, sir. Uh, waddle and cororum for Jaylen Warren. Easy. Would I do
19:36Jonah Cole? I would do Jonah Coleman straight up for Jaylen Warren. Would I do I would do Jaylen Coker straight up
19:40for Jaylen Warren. So, there's plenty of deals out there, man. There's plenty of deals. Michael Wilson and Charbanet.
19:46Easy.
19:51That's the most I would pay. Woody Marks and Garrett Wilson is the most I would pay. But you guys see it like he's he is
19:57not all that expensive and he could just be a guy who says to hell with the projections and the usage and all of
20:04that. I'm just going to average 17 points per game this year. Uh NBA league winner where if you did if you don't
20:10have the means to tier up to a Bejon or one of these top dogs, Jaylen Warren, especially when he's on buy, this is
20:17when he'll be most acquirable when you can buy him for an 80%, you know, on the dollar kind of discount. I think Jaylen
20:23Warren is a really strong buy this week in particular where it's almost like reverse psychology of Jaylen Warren just had a 20point game so
20:34why not you know if the owner wants to like try and sell him high after a 20point game then go buy him because uh
20:41you know there really aren't sell highs and buy lows in fantasy anymore everyone's watching every single piece of content they know who the buy highs
20:47are the sell the sell highs the buy lows whatever uh I think that it just gives you um some grease on the wheels to get
20:55a Jaylen Warren done because a guy thinks he's selling high. Uh but you can go out there and buy a league winner on
21:02the cheap. So that's going to do it for us today. Again, my rest of season rankings can be found on the Patreon,
21:07patreon.com/ronstewart.
21:09Trade deadlines are coming up. Now is the time to make moves. I will say do not handicap your team. Do not make
21:14moves for fun. Do not buy a guy who's on a by-week if you're three and five. Know where your team is at, what you need,
21:20what excess value is on your bench that you'll never use. Make winning trades either in the short term if you need
21:27wins now or if you can start kind of putting away some studs for the future, buying guys who have a buy right now.
21:34All of that and more. I guess that's just overall strategy talk. But of course, you can find my rankings where I
21:40have all of my tiers, my top 150 where you can be like, "Oh, Ron has Jaylen Warren here. This player's ranked down
21:45here. I can send this player for Jaylen Warren and make a profit. Uh again, all that can be found patreon.comrronswart.
21:50But as always, appreciate you guys watching and I'll see y'all in the next one.
22:07Stones like this froze ice cold ice around my body.
