Player analysis
Player insights
A.J. Brown
Alvin Kamara
NegativeValue27:12
Zack Robinson is hesitant to trade a package of Garrett Wilson and Alvin Kamara for Rashee Rice and Rhamondre Stevenson.
Insight pageBrandon Aiyuk
PositiveValue4:36
Zack Robinson ranks Brandon Aiyuk in the same tier as DJ Moore and intends to move him up further in his rankings following recent research. While Robinson is high on Aiyuk, he indicated he would likely not trade Aiyuk and a 'plus' to acquire Garrett Wilson.
Insight pageBreece Hall
NegativeValue6:07
Zack Robinson indicates he would not trade Breece Hall for Brandon Aiyuk, stating he 'can't get there' on that valuation.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
NegativeValue11:47
Zack Robinson does not view Brock Bowers as a mandatory sell, but suggests that managers who drafted Dalton Kincaid late and are feeling uneasy about their tight end situation could consider moving Bowers to acquire other assets.
Insight pageCam Akers
PositiveValue6:35
Zack Robinson identifies Cam Akers as a primary buy-low trade target. Despite a modest 14 PPR points and no targets in Week 1, Akers saw 18 carries and is expected to ramp up his usage as he recovers from injury in a sophisticated Giants offense.
Insight pageChris Godwin
NegativeUsage2:25
Chris Godwin is viewed as having a distinct, less dynamic role compared to Amecha Ibuka, with Zack Robinson noting a 'night and day' difference in speed between the two. Robinson suggests packaging Godwin alongside Travis Etienne as a trade offer to acquire Cam Akers.
Insight pageChristian Watson
NegativeValue11:21
Zack Robinson rejects using Christian Watson as a primary piece in trades for Cam Scataboo. While Watson produced 30+ PPR points, Ron Stewart notes that Matthew Golden had a more steady usage profile, with Watson serving primarily as a downfield threat on a 16-yard aDOT.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
NegativeValue11:25
Zack Robinson suggests Chuba Hubbard as a potential trade piece to acquire Cam Scataboo, potentially paired with players like Chris Godwin or Rome Odunze. Robinson would also consider a trade involving Garrett Wilson and Devon Achane for Justin Jefferson and Hubbard if Achane were healthy.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
NegativeValue4:36
Ron Stewart uses DJ Moore as a benchmark for rest-of-season rankings, placing Amecha Ibuka in the same tier as Moore. Zack Robinson also notes he would trade DJ Moore for Garrett Wilson in a heartbeat.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
NegativeValue27:35
Zack Robinson views D'Andre Swift and Garrett Wilson as very close in value and would only trade them if he specifically needed wide receiver help.
Insight pageDalton Kincaid
PositiveBreakout12:00
Dalton Kincaid is described as a revelation for managers who drafted him late, providing enough confidence to potentially move off other tight ends like Brock Bowers.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
NegativeValue27:17
Zack Robinson would consider a trade involving Garrett Wilson and Devon Achane for Justin Jefferson and Chuba Hubbard if Achane were healthy.
Insight pageDeAndre Hopkins
NegativeValue26:21
Ron Stewart views a trade of DeAndre Hopkins for DeVonta Smith as a close decision that depends on positional needs.
Insight pageDeebo Samuel
Devin Singletary
PositiveUsage9:07
Zack Robinson expects Devin Singletary's passing game usage to regress, viewing his recent target volume as a fluke caused by a specific Cowboys defensive lapse rather than a sustainable role. Robinson does not expect Singletary to out-target or out-route Cam Akers on a week-to-week basis.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
PositiveValue25:11
Zack Robinson recommends buying low on DeVonta Smith, citing his 27% target share and 82% route share from last week. Despite a WR46 finish, Robinson believes Smith is a top-12 play against the Titans. Ron Stewart views Smith as a high-value trade target, preferring him over players like Drake London, Sam LaPorta, Garrett Wilson, and Jalen Hurts in straight-up or plus-added deals.
Insight pageDrake London
PositiveRole5:02
Drake London serves as the successful case study for the 'Z receiver' role under Zack Robinson. His transition from a static X receiver to a versatile motion-based Z receiver unlocked his fantasy potential. Robinson would not trade London straight up for Garrett Wilson, but would consider the deal if he could acquire a meaningful plus on top of Wilson; conversely, he would trade London for DeVonta Smith if he could get a 'plus' on top of Smith.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveValue4:59
Zack Robinson and Ron Stewart identify Garrett Wilson as a buy-low target. Despite a modest 6-catch, 79-yard performance, the Jets' offensive scheme—shifting toward modern under-center, play-action, and heavy personnel—is highly encouraging. Wilson is considered a fringe top-12 wide receiver moving forward, and Stewart prefers him over Rashee Rice in a straight-up trade.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
Jadarian Price
PositiveValue10:48
Zack Robinson identifies Jadarian Price as a buy-low candidate, suggesting he is currently undervalued in the market.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeValue27:48
Ron Stewart would easily trade Jalen Hurts straight up to acquire DeVonta Smith, indicating a preference for the wide receiver's value over the quarterback in this specific trade scenario.
Insight pageJayden Reed
NegativeValue27:46
Zack Robinson places Jayden Reed in the same tier as other wide receivers in trade discussions.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
PositiveValue26:52
Zack Robinson would trade Jaylen Waddle for Garrett Wilson, and Ron Stewart identifies Waddle as a buy-low candidate to trade for DeVonta Smith.
Insight pageJordan Mason
NegativeUsage6:52
Jordan Mason is mentioned as a running back whose recent injury status highlights the scarcity of reliable running backs in fantasy leagues.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
PositiveValue22:15
Ron Stewart and Zack Robinson both highlight Josh Jacobs as a 'buy' candidate for fantasy managers needing running back help. Robinson projects him to return in the Week 5-7 range and argues he will be a high-end RB2 upon return, suggesting managers trade players like Quentin Johnston, Blake Corum, or waiver wire pickups to acquire him now.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
NegativeValue27:17
Zack Robinson would consider a trade involving Garrett Wilson and Devon Achane for Justin Jefferson and Chuba Hubbard if Achane were healthy.
Insight pageKhalil Shakir
NegativeValue27:05
Zack Robinson prefers Wan'Dale Robinson over Khalil Shakir in trade valuations.
Insight pageKyren Williams
NegativeValue26:16
Ron Stewart considers a straight-up trade of Kyren Williams for DeVonta Smith to be a close valuation.
Insight pageMark Andrews
NegativeValue27:27
Zack Robinson suggests selling Garrett Wilson and Mark Andrews for a package including Marvin Harrison Jr. if the price is right.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
NegativeUsage23:26
Marshawn Lloyd struggled significantly in his recent game, finishing with -13.9 PPR points below expected output. He ranked in the bottom five in rushing yards over expected and bottom 10 in success rate, though Robinson notes he could bounce back against the Jets.
Insight pageMarvin Harrison Jr.
PositiveValue5:56
Marvin Harrison Jr. is viewed as a high-value trade target. He is mentioned as part of a package involving Travis Etienne that represents the maximum value Zack Robinson would pay for Brandon Aiyuk, and is also a target in trade packages involving Garrett Wilson and Mark Andrews.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
PositiveBreakout17:59
Ron Stewart identifies Matthew Golden as a 'buy high' target after a Week 1 performance where he led the Packers with a 31% first-read target share and 32% air yard share. Stewart views him as a potential breakout player who could soon move into the tier of Rome Odunze, Terry McLaurin, and Davante Adams. Zack Robinson also identifies Golden as a strong trade target, preferring him over players like Deebo Samuel, Rome Odunze, AJ Brown, John Brooks, Brian Thomas Jr., and the combination of Blake Corum and Jayden Reed.
Insight pageNico Collins
NegativeValue4:49
Ron Stewart evaluates a potential trade involving Nico Collins for Amecha Ibuka, noting he would debate the move but ultimately views Ibuka as a high-priority target. Collins is also placed in the same tier as DeVonta Smith for trade valuation purposes.
Insight pageRashee Rice
NegativeValue17:12
Zack Robinson and Ron Stewart prefer Garrett Wilson over Rashee Rice in straight-up trade valuations.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
NegativeValue27:12
Ron Stewart is willing to trade Rhamondre Stevenson to acquire DeVonta Smith, calling it a fine deal. Zack Robinson is also hesitant to trade a package of Garrett Wilson and Alvin Kamara for Rashee Rice and Rhamondre Stevenson.
Insight pageRome Odunze
NegativeValue11:40
Zack Robinson suggests including Rome Odunze in trade packages to acquire Cam Scataboo, while Ron Stewart is willing to trade Odunze to acquire DeVonta Smith.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
NegativeValue26:41
Zack Robinson and Ron Stewart suggest selling Sam LaPorta to acquire DeVonta Smith if you have tight end depth, such as having drafted Dalton Kincaid or Isaiah Likely.
Insight pageStefon Diggs
NegativeValue10:55
Zack Robinson suggests using Stefon Diggs as a trade piece to acquire Cam Scataboo.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
PositiveValue5:20
Zack Robinson strongly advocates for trading for Travis Etienne, stating he would trade Brandon Aiyuk for Etienne 'all day long'. Robinson also suggests packaging Etienne and Chris Godwin as a trade offer to acquire Cam Akers.
Insight pageTyrone Tracy
NegativeDepth Chart9:10
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is considered a cut candidate after seeing only 3% of snaps and reportedly sitting out of practice following a fumble, signaling he is falling out of the Giants' backfield rotation.
Insight pageWan'Dale Robinson
PositiveValue27:05
Zack Robinson prefers Wan'Dale Robinson over Khalil Shakir in trade valuations.
Insight pageZay Flowers
NegativeInjury5:06
Ron Stewart and Zack Robinson express concern regarding Zay Flowers due to a hamstring injury, noting they would be willing to trade him for Amecha Ibuka if they cannot afford to wait for the injury to resolve.

Episode Transcript
0:00What's going on, man? Welcome back to the basement. I'm Ron. With week one behind us, right now is the best time to
0:06make trades in fantasy football because with one week of data, we have enough information to move faster than the rest of the market because by week four, week
0:15five, week six, we kind of know where we're at in the fantasy football season.
0:19But right now, we can get some of the best prices you're going to get all season. So, with that being said, I'm
0:24going to give you my six best trade targets to buy low right now heading into week two. As always, if you enjoy,
0:30leave a like, subscribe if you're new, and our first trade target is Amecha Ibuka. He is my number one trade target.
0:38Stamp it. I'll probably have it on the thumbnail as well. Uh, and of course, the thesis and the idea behind these
0:43videos is every Wednesday, I put out my rest of season rankings over on the Patreon. You can get my top 150 across
0:50the board, my top 25 or so tight ends and quarterbacks, top 50 to 60 running backs and wide receivers, all tiered out
0:57every single week. patreon.com Stewart.
1:00I take that, I compare it to the market and then see where the differences lie and I am really bullish on Acha Ibuka
1:05moving forward. Now, he had a quiet day.
1:08Five catches, six targets, 63 yards, 11.3 PPR points in what was supposed to be a smash matchup. He is on the road
1:16versus the Bengals. Supposed to be fireworks. And instead, Baker Mayfield fumbles, I believe, four times in this game. And they could never really get
1:24anything going. But the role in the usage, that is the key. The role in the usage is what we really want to take
1:32away from week one. And Amecha Ibuka's role is awesome. This is a tweet from Hayden Wings here saying Ibuka had a
1:40very Ramscoded role. Lots of motion, free releases, modern routes, worked intermediate and downfield plenty, night and day difference in speed between him
1:49and Chris Godwin. Then you have on the bottom from David Gatiari. No wide receiver had a higher percentage of their team's air yards in week one than
1:56Amecha Ibuka. So, he's taking a massive share of the pie in terms of the valuable air targets in this offense.
2:04Now, of course, Baker checked the ball down a ton in this game, which means moving forward as they kind of spread
2:10things out, air it out more as they are learning this new offense with Zack Robinson, we should get better days ahead for Mecha Ibuka. And when we talk
2:19about this Rams role that Hayden is describing, it's these C gap inserts, like essentially the Puka Nakoola role.
2:25I hate to use that word. I hate to use that word, but moving him in motion and then letting him do the C gap insert
2:31stuff where all of a sudden he's like the lead blocker and then he leaks out into a route. All of that's happening
2:36for him. He had 11 routes in motion most in the NFL. It's a stat from Jacob Gibbs. And then I looked it up as well.
2:41He led the NFL with five targets coming as the first read as the motion man.
2:46Essentially, he is Zach Robinson's check chess piece. He is moving him in motion and he is trying to free him up with the
2:53favorable matchups. Now, why Zach Robinson is so important here is because yes, he's the new play caller, but this is also what unlocked Drake London over
3:02in Atlanta. This Z receiver role we have from Matt Harmon here kind of confirming that Ibuku is lining up as the Z
3:10receiver in 11 personnel. And then you have this. This is a reception perception blurb from Matt Harmon over the summer talking about London.
3:17Essentially saying he was a pure ex receiver on the line of scrimmage facing press man. But Zack Robinson comes over.
3:26Arthur Smith goes away and Drake London gets used in the Z role where he is now moving around getting put in motion
3:32going in the slot in some setups as well. And then all of a sudden he is a fantasy football cheat code. And I
3:38believe that Drake London is a good comparison for Amecha Ibuka moving forward that Ibuka is going to be in this role on the Buccaneers. And that is
3:48very very exciting. And that pretty much confirmed that was the upside case that he wouldn't be playing the static X sacrificial X role like he was playing
3:56last year. He looked healthy. The usage was awesome. I think in more normal game scripts and more normal passing games from Baker Mayfield, Ibuka is going to
4:05really shine. Now, the part of this video once I tell you a trade target is we go over to the fantasycal.com
4:15trade database. This pulls up, you know, 7 million trades from real fantasy football leagues across the board. I have it set for two to four assets in a
4:23trade, one quarterback, 10 to 14 teams, half and full PPR, no tight end premium.
4:29What do you got to pay for a Mecha Ibuka in this modern climate? Let me actually pull up my rest of season rankings as
4:36well. I believe I have IA ahead of DJ Moore or at least in the same tier. Uh, and I think even from doing this
4:44research, I want to move IA up even more than I have him. Yeah, I have him in the same tier. Uh, so I probably wouldn't do
4:49that like that. This to me isn't solving a problem. Nico for Ibuka and Golden with the hamstring. I would debate it.
4:56Johnston, Brooks, Lemon. I mean, yeah, obviously IA there. Would I sell Garrett Wilson for Ibuka in price? I probably will, but I'll be honest with you guys.
5:04Gary Wilson is a buy in this video.
5:06Would I sell Flowers? Flowers with the hamstring. I'll be real with you guys.
5:09Flowers at the hamstring. This is a 10 team, two wide receiver, two flex.
5:15Flowers with the hamstring. I probably would do Price I Buoua. If I couldn't afford to wait for Flowers to come back.
5:20Is there anything else that looks good here? Uh I always want to try and pick out a few that make sense to me. Oh, ETN
5:27for Ibuka. ETN for Ibuka all day long.
5:31Uh I'm not doing Pwash for Ibuka. I I like Pwash too much. Uh let's find one more that sticks out as a reasonable
5:38trade. Would I do Tet for Ibuka? I would I would do Tet trader for Iuka, but again, I don't think that these are
5:44really I don't think that these are happening. Like I know that we're seeing these trades, but wide receiver for wide receiver probably isn't happening in
5:51many leagues. Let's find one more that is more like a cross one. ETN and Marv.
5:59Oo, that's as much as I would pay. I mean Tate and Dos obviously Manungai Vle obviously I would do this if there's
6:05somebody out there that's like hurting at RB and you could take Bill and Pard and make it I bua uh I will breeze for
6:12Iuka I can't get there.
6:15Um but yeah, you guys kind of see it.
6:17It's not pulling teeth exactly. Uh but I I wouldn't do like a wide receiver for wide receiver swap unless you have
6:24conviction or your trade partner has conviction. I don't know. uh if maybe you find yourself and they're a Panthers fan and you can do a Tedro McMillan for
6:32Ibuka swap, I suppose that is an option.
6:35Now, moving on from that, our next trade target here is going to be Cam Scataboo.
6:43Uh it's going to be really tough to trade for running backs after week one.
6:47Everyone's kind of hoarding their running backs. There's running backs who are banged up. Of course, uh, somebody just lost Jordan Mason. Uh, or I guess
6:54running backs at the top aren't banged up. But you guys get what I'm saying.
6:57There's definitely people out there that have kind of realized after week one like, man, my running backs are weak.
7:01But if that happens to be you, I think Cam Scataboo is a decent option. He had a modest 14 PPR points. He didn't do
7:09anything crazy. He had not a single target or catch in this game against the Cowboys in prime time. And I understand
7:15it's against the Cowboys. This is a really bad defense. They allow everyone to look awesome. But I did come away very impressed with this Giants offense.
7:22They are here in terms of uh rush EPA per play and drop back EPA per play in the top right. And they just looked
7:28really sophisticated with Greg Roman with Matt Nai in this like under center.
7:34Uh Pat Ricard was used in motion almost similar to like a Kyle Jack. Like it it genuinely blew me away how solid this
7:40offense was looking. Isaiah likely looks great. Malik Neighbors is ramping up here. uh Scatabo kind of established his will with 18 carries, but it was also
7:48clear that they didn't want to fully unleash him in his first game back from injury. And to me, that's the angle here
7:54to buy Scataboo is that he is ramping up from injury. I think that there's still more for him to gain in this offense.
8:00And this is an offense that is moving forward the 22nd ranked implied offense by Vegas uh ahead of the Saints behind
8:07the Texans, Vikings, and Broncos. So, a solid, you know, just slightly below average offense in the NFL. The offensive line
8:16also is a I wouldn't say revelation, but Andrew Thomas has always been great.
8:21Germaine Lumnor has always been great. I believe John Michael Schmidz, I think is his name, something like I think that he's like a decent interior offensive
8:28lineman, but this kid they just drafted uh Francis Malinogga the uh he came in with an injury, but he ended up being
8:34this is a stat I want to say from like NFL NextGen that he is the first rookie since 2018 to record 35 plus pass
8:41blocking snaps in week one without allowing a pressure which is really impressive. Now, of course, for Scataboo, we care about the run
8:49blocking, but I think it's just good that this is a good offensive line, a good environment. and Jackson Dart looked good. And this is also a team
8:54that's going to use their running backs a ton. This is running back usage by a team from Hayden Wings. The Giants had
8:59the eighth most usage. The only running backs used by the Giants on Monday night was Cam Scataboo or no on Sunday night,
9:08Cam Scataboo and Devin Singleary. There was no Naji Harris. There was no Tyrone Tracy. Tyrone Tracy seems to be like a cut candidate at this point in
9:18the NFL season, which is kind of sad for him, but it just sort of is where we're at in terms of the Tyrone Tracy
9:24experience. So, with that being said, I don't expect I mean, Devin Singleary had actually I misspoke. Tyrone Tracy had 3% of the snaps. He had 3% of the snaps. I
9:32believe that he sat out of practice after uh fumbling last week. It's Scatabo and Singleary. I'm not going to bet on Singleary to run more routes than
9:41Cam Scatabo and have more targets than Cam Scataboo on a week- toeek basis. To me, that that that was a fluke. It was
9:47actually like a really weird sequence where the Cowboys offense just stopped respecting the flat underneath and it was just like two or three straight
9:54plays of Deon Singleary in the flat and then he just took one into the end zone uh against a bad Cowboys team. But I
10:00think Cam Scataboo is going to eat into more of this usage pie here and end up being a real problem. So I think
10:09moving forward, we have a guy who uh is going to have the goal line. He had both the rush attempts inside the five in
10:16this game. I just think that the role, the offense, it's all there. And then I also just don't believe that Singleary's
10:24passing game work is going to hold up.
10:25So I think Scataboo even has more of a role to take over. and that's after having 18 touches in his first game back
10:32from a major injury. So, uh I think it's wheels all the way up for Cam Scataboo in this offense. And then in terms of
10:38what you can buy or what you can sell to get Cam Scataboo, uh let's see, put him into the trade database here.
10:48Oh, uh come on. Come on. Why we got to do that? Price and Diggs, man. I like I actually think Jadarian Price, he didn't
10:55quite make this list, but I think price is actually a buy. But if I could add digs to get the Scataboo, I would uh
11:01Wilson and Dael for Michael. No. Would I do Aaron Jones? I mean, obviously ETN and Godwin. Wow.
11:10If I was all set at receiver and Godwin isn't going in my lineup, right, in a start eight. So, what is this? Two wide
11:15receiver, two flex. I would do this. I would take Scataboo and Cam Douglas over ETN and Chris Godwin. Uh Cam Scaboo and
11:22Christian Watson or No, sir. No, sir.
11:25Hubard and Bill. Yeah, if you can if you can take Hubard, I don't think I don't know how realistic this is, but if you
11:31can take Hubard and add a piece, you know, maybe it's not Bill, maybe it's uh you know, maybe it's kind of like this,
11:36like it's Hubard and Godwin or Hubard and uh I would even go as high as like Hubard and Roman Dunay to get to
11:44Scataboo. To me, like that's that's a fair offer. Uh and then we'll find one more Bowowers for Scataboo and Bold Golden. Wow.
11:53I don't even think Bowowers is a cell, but if you're in a spot where you're feeling spooky about Bowowers, your tight end two is decent, like maybe you
12:01drafted Dalton Concade late and he's like such a revelation that now you can move off of Bowowers and get Scataboo and Golden. I would uh our next
12:10trade target, our third trade target is actually going to be Garrett Wilson. It seems like uh every year we talk about a
12:15Jet after week one. If you want to discount that, you absolutely can. Uh, we had a low-key six catch 79 yard game,
12:21but I actually came away really impressed with this Jets offense. Now, it's not for the reason you think it is, right? I understand they looked really
12:27good against the Steelers last year.
12:28It's not about the EPA per play number, right? Yes, they were 10th in EPA per play. They scored well. To me, it's that
12:34this was a very It's actually funny saying that this is a modern offense because you wouldn't think, you know, 5 years ago a modern offense wouldn't be
12:43one that is under center uh with heavy personnel. But in the modern landscape, that is what all the cool kids are
12:50doing. That is what Shawn McVey is doing. That is what Clinton Kubiaak is doing. All of these mastermind offensive coordinators, you know, Mike McDaniel,
12:58they're doing this stuff. They are going under center. They are going heavy personnel and they are doing play action during snap motion. You can see here
13:05compared to the 2025 season, under center rate goes from 29th to 6th. Play action rate 31st to 6th. Heavy personnel drop package 28th to 9th. And the whole
13:16idea of that is marrying the run and pass game where you're doing play action, you're playing under center, everything looks the same. You have
13:24you're passing out of heavy personnel.
13:25They did this crazy thing where they did uh they came out in Wishbone which is nuts. Frank Wright comes out in
13:30wishbone, which is like three running backs behind you in like a triangle shape with their hands in the dirt. And then he shifts out of that into I think
13:38that they're calling it like 05 personnel, which is essentially like I think it's like three tight ends and a fullback uh with Sadique as the as the
13:47like where a halfback would line up in shotgun. Just the whole thing. I was blown away by the creativity from Frank
13:53Reich. And then on the bottom of this tweet, you can see as well he kept the during snap motion. The one thing that
13:58Tanner Angstrin was good at last year uh for the Jets was doing a lot of during snap motion. We know that that juices uh
14:04offensive success in the NFL. So, he kept the during snap motion, but he married it to this like run pass game
14:10under center heavy personnel grouping look. And that's what your Sadique pick can do. Sadique, Jeremy Rucker, uh of course Mason Taylor they took in the top
14:1950 a year ago. Uh so they're now set up to do this. And why this all matters for Garrett Wilson is wide receivers, and it
14:25was the big success driver for JSN last year is when you have two or fewer wide receivers on the field, it boosts their
14:33targets per out run, their yards per run, their first downs per out run, everything or fantasy points per out run, everything you're looking for. And
14:39then this is also just a clean chart here showing that pretty much every good play caller is using play action, drop
14:46back rate, and during snap motion rate.
14:48two things that Frank rank is incorporating on top of the wide receiver efficiency boosters in the two or few wide receivers on the field
14:56tendency. So, I say all this to say this offense isn't going to be top 10 in scoring or efficiency, but if we're
15:04going to have heavy personnel and all of this uh modern efficiency boost when it comes to wide receivers, Garrett Wilson's going to benefit from a lot of
15:12this. And everyone out there doesn't believe in the Jets, which you shouldn't. They're not going to beat up on the Titans every week to the point
15:18where they can just throw the ball like 20 times. They're going to have to throw the ball more than they did against the
15:22Titans. And even with a low volume game script, Garrett Wilson feasted six catches, 79 yards in a game where the Jets didn't pass the ball at all. Gino
15:30Smith had total 24 attempts. 19 completions on 24 attempts. That should go up to like 30 plus in most normal game scripts here. So, that's all really
15:39exciting. You can also see on top of that that Garrett Wilson from a numbers perspective dominated the target share.
15:4430% target share. uh he's only fallen below a 20% target share in two of his last 25 games. That's what Garrett
15:50Wilson does. He gets targets. And just to kind of put a cherry on top here is why this is so exciting is his
15:56efficiency. His yards per run has always been the thing lagging behind due to quarterback play. But if we can go under
16:01center and have all this heavy personnel, that can actually drive up his efficiency without needing the quarterback. Similar to JSN getting the
16:08efficiency with a Sam Darnold. We can see the same thing here with Gino Smith.
16:12And then Garrett Wilson here. I really like this usage as well. He's out here running these like deep crossers from the slot on both sides of the field.
16:19Everything is horizontally breaking.
16:21It's beautiful. This is everything you could possibly have asked for from Garrett Wilson. I think he's a fringe top 12 wide receiver moving forward. And
16:26if there's a chance that someone out there doesn't know what they have on their hands in Garrett Wilson, I would go out there and send out some feelers
16:32for him. Uh something that I would love to do, like if I could go from Drake London to Garrett Wilson and get a
16:37meaningful plus on top, uh I would absolutely love a deal like that. Would I do IA and Price to get the Garrett
16:45Wilson? Probably not. Would I do Pickkins? No. Would I go I mean Henderson Coker? Obviously. Would I go Wadd Debo? I would. If I could tear it
16:54from Wadd to Garrett Wilson, I would. I wouldn't do London straight up for Wilson, but I would love to do London
16:58for Wilson in a piece. Uh, anything else stick out? Oh, I would do AJ Brown for Garrett Wilson in a heartbeat. I'd do DJ
17:03Moore for Garrett Wilson in a heartbeat.
17:05Rice and Shakir for Wilson and Wale. I would have Wilson over Rice and Wandelle over Shakir. for sure.
17:12Wilson and Kamar for Rashi Rice and Raandre.
17:17Probably not. Uh I would have Wilson over Rashi Rice straight up. Uh Wilson, Devon Achan or Jefferson and Hubard.
17:25Wow.
17:27No, if if Achan was like Genty, I would do that. Uh Garrett Wilson Andrews for Coker Marv Wilson 2 and Raand. I mean, obviously
17:35you you sell love for that price, but anything else stick out? Swift and Garrett Wilson I would have really close. I I I don't think I would do this
17:44unless if I needed wide receiver help.
17:46Wilson and Conpsion for I'd have Wilson over Rice. Conpsion in the same tier as Reed. So, I would. So, there's a lot of
17:52deals here. I would do a Rice for Gary Wilson style deal if that was on the table. Now, another wide receiver I'd be
17:59looking to buy is Matthew Golden. I think Matthew Golden's another one of these. There's a chance that the guy who has Matthew Golden doesn't really
18:06understand what he has on his hands.
18:08Like, sure, he had a good PPR output in his box score, but it wasn't amazing. It was six catches, 95 yards for 15 PPR
18:17points, but the guy had 12 targets. I was truly blown away by Matthew Golden in this setup. He comes out here and has
18:27absurd usage from Jacob Gibbs up top. He led the Green Bay Packers with a 31% first read target share. That is nuts.
18:35He was the first read. He was the main guy moving the chains here. Uh below that was actually some really strong
18:41signal from his rookie year where he ranked 77th percentile leaguewide among wide receivers with 25 plus first read targets in terms of efficiency. I I
18:49believe that would be yards per out runs. So as the first read as a rookie, he was efficient. They really jacked
18:55that up in this game. And you can see here as well, Christian Watson gets all of the glory in this game. Uh,
19:00deservedly so for having 30 plus PPR points. But the more steady player here, right, Christian Watson 20% target share on a 16-yard AOT. That's going to get
19:08you a lot of explosive plays. But Matthew Golden from a usage perspective, this is Fantasy Life's utilization report, by the way. Had Matthew Golden
19:15with the better usage. He had a higher route share, 30% plus target share, a 12-yard AOT, so more intermediate where he's getting used as these uh as like
19:23the target on digs and uh the chain mover and a guy who also had uh 32% of the air yards. Whereas Christian Watson,
19:30sure, he's the downfield threat, but air yards are a great way to convert efficiency, especially for a guy like Matthew Golden who's not a big after the
19:37catch threat. So, him having 30% plus of the air yards, 30% plus of the targets, 30% plus of the first read targets, it's
19:44really, really impressive. Uh, I think you could talk me into he has one more game like this and he's going to be
19:50getting moved into like Luther Bird and Tedo McMillan territory.
19:55That's how that's how strong this usage truly was. And I think right now I'd have him right next to Roma Dunce,
20:00potentially even ahead. Like I have him in this range of like Odun, Mclloren, and Devonte Adams right now is how I
20:06view Matthew Golden. in one more week like this and I would move him ahead of all of those guys. Uh, and you guys know
20:11me, I wasn't even that big on Matthew Golden. I I liked Jaden Reed over him.
20:14Uh, but this was the run out for Matthew Golden. Then of course, the Hayden Wings tweet to the right of me shows the week
20:20one neutral pass and neutral pace for every single team. Uh, the Packers were up and to the right. Now, of course, it
20:27was a wonky game script. They don't have Josh Jacobs, but this could stick. It sucks that they lost, so it might not
20:32stick, right? for a lot of these tendency changes, you kind of need a win to confirm that, okay, this is what this
20:36team will be doing moving forward. But I do think Matthew Golden uh in this offense, if they pass more, if he just
20:44holds this role, could be an absolute smash this season. So, if there's someone out there, uh I I don't know. I
20:50I maybe there's creators out there saying Matthew Golden's like a sell high after this one game. I think that he is
20:55uh a buy high to be honest when it comes to Matthew Golden. Let's see what he's selling for. Let's see. I I hope that
21:02it's reasonable. Can it be reasonable? I mean, yeah. Coker for Matthew Golden.
21:06And it it's not even that big of a difference. Easy. Uh Likely and Sutton for Golden.
21:11Likely was so awesome. And this is a 0.5 Titan Premium. I thought I put I put Titan Premium off, dude.
21:20Huh. Um let's just skip that because I don't want to do Titan Premium. Wow. Would I do Nico for Golden and I? No, but with
21:30the hamstring, I probably do. With the hamstring, I do. But let's let's keep out. Um, Burden for Matthew Golden and a
21:36plus. I love burden.
21:40No, I probably wouldn't do that. Golden Genty for love and Devonte. Oh, I would.
21:45I I would do that. If I could upgrade from Love to Genty and then downgrade from Smith to Golden, I actually would.
21:51Uh, Debo for Golden, give me golden easily there. Rome. If you could do Rome for Golden and get any kind of plus on
21:57top, uh, I would do that as well. Got it for Golden. Easy. A I would do AJ Brown for Golden straight up, by the way.
22:04Evans for No, I'd need more of a plus on top of I would need someone better than Caleb Douglas.
22:10John Brooks for Matthew Golden. I would do that.
22:13Brian Thomas for Matthew Golden straight up. Easily. Corm and Reed for Golden Straight Up. I would do that as well.
22:19Then we have our next buy in the same offense is Josh Jacobs. Wonder this is a great time if you need running back
22:26help. Maybe you're 1 and0 but your RB2 sucks, right? Maybe you were a hero RB team. Jordan Mason and RB2. Jordan
22:31Mason's gone now. Or you were hoping to rely on like Rico D and the rotation or Rico D and Jordan Mason and it's like
22:38this is looking tough. If the Josh Jacobs owner is 0 and one and down bad, maybe he had Brock Bowers or AJ Brown or
22:45Nico Collins or Z Flowers, two guys who are kind of up in the air this week, I'd kick the tires on Josh Jacobs. Now, of
22:51course, off the field, we don't condone any of the actions, whatever. I'm not up to date with really any of the
22:59nitty-gritty details of really anything of this, but we do have Drew Davenport here who keeps up with all of it.
23:04Essentially saying that the video seems to be somewhat moot. I believe that the issue here is that it's a like the
23:09video's personal property. I think also it seems like Josh probably paid the girl to kind of be quiet about things.
23:16Regardless, uh it seems like he's going to be back in the four to six game range and every game he misses while on the
23:21exempt list is going to go towards that suspension. So, he could be back as soon as week five to week seven. And Marshon
23:26Lloyd was so bad in this game. He was minus 13.9 PPR points under
23:38his expected output. Based on his volume, he should have had 17 PPR points. Said he had 3.7. He was bottom five in rushing yards over expected. He
23:47was bottom 10 in success rate when it came to rushing the football. Now, of course, it was against the Vikings that
23:51he could completely bounce back this week against the Jets. I don't even mind Marshawn Lloyd as a buy low in his own
23:55right, but there is a chance that this running back room is unusable. Josh Jacobs comes back and he is immediately a high-end RB2 in this offense. So, if I
24:03could buy him low, I think now would be the time to do it because after this week, uh, the more news we get and you
24:10know, it's week four, it's week five, and it's like, okay, Jacobs is due back or the minute a suspension gets announced, he is going to skyrocket up
24:17rankings. But yeah, I mean, these are silly. We're talking Hawk for Jacobs, easy. QJ for Jacobs, easy. Uh, Judkins for Jacobs and Odun, easy. Kaylin Black
24:25and yeah, easy Jacobs. Uh, likely for Jacobs and Model, easy Jacobs. Price for No, sir. No sir. Metaf and Diggs for
24:32Jacobs. Probably not.
24:37Diggs and Emma Johnson for Jacobs.
24:38Easily. Um, two and for Jacobs Wilson, that's actually close. Cororum, let's see, where do I actually have Jacobs ranked compared to Cororm and
24:49those guys? I have them in the same tier. So, probably wouldn't do that. Um, but you get it. I would have him in the
24:56same tier as like a Cororum. Uh, I would do Koger for Jacobs. like any hotness off waiverss for Jacobs I would do. So
25:02you guys get the idea. If you can put Josh Jacobs as a throwin on the back end of the deal, I think that that makes a
25:08lot of sense as well. And then our final trade target, it's nothing crazy. It's nothing fancy. It's just if you can buy
25:12low on Devonte Smith, I probably would.
25:15Uh he's a top 12 play this week against the Titans. He finished at the wide receiver 46 last week, but he still had
25:21a good target share underneath. It's just that Goddard scored two touchdowns.
25:24Uh Dantavon Wick scored another touchdown and it just was kind of the Eagles through the air show without Devonte Smith really doing anything. But
25:33we saw here from JJ Zachares underneath 27% target share, 82% route share. Led the Eagles in both both of those numbers. And then Jaylen Herz is up and
25:40to the right in terms of raw PFF grade EPA. He was a really good passer through the air last week despite the offensive
25:46line issues for the Eagles. So I actually kind of like this passing game moving forward. I think Dvonte Smith is going to be absolutely fine. And then if
25:52we look and see what Devonte Smith is trading for on the open market, I do wonder is there actually a buy low
26:00window on Dvonte Smith. Again, if I could get off of Drake London, um I really would at this point if like if I
26:06could get a real plus on top of Devonte Smith to get off of London, I would. Uh Neighbors do. No sir. No sir. No. Uh ET
26:16and AJ Brown Lloyd for Devonte probably not. Kairen for Devonte is close.
26:21DeAndre for Dvonte is close.
26:27I probably do DeAndre for Devonte Smith, but that just really comes down to what you need. Uh, in terms of positionally
26:34uh London vers Dvonte, I I need a plus on top of Dvonte to get there. Wow. I like Leland, but I probably would sell
26:42him for Dvonte Smith if I again, if you're in one of these spots where you drafted a likely or concaid late on top
26:47of a Lelander Bowers, I don't hate trying to sell. Like I know the entire world is saying buy Leland and I think
26:52Lelo's a buy as well. I didn't list him on this video cuz the entire world is saying to buy him, but if someone's
26:57looking to buy Leland at the price of Dvonte Smith and I have Dolan Concaid or Isaiah likely behind him, I'm probably
27:02selling um Garrett Wilson or Dvonte Smith. I have him in the same tier, Nico or Dvonte Smith. All right, maybe I was wrong on
27:12being able to buy low on Devonte Smith.
27:16I'm looking for a buy low. I'm looking for a boow. Hampton Waddle for Dvonte Smith. Henderson. Judkins digs for Dvonte Smith. That's a buy low. We'll do
27:24that. Uh Raandre Odun, I would do that.
27:27Raandre Ounce for Dvonte Smith is fine by me. I mean, that's just silly. Uh G I like Gary Wilson, but if I could do I
27:36have Dvonte Smith ahead of Gary Wilson, so give me Dvonte Smith side. Devonte London for Oh, easy. Javvante London for Dvonte Smith. Chase Brown. That's an
27:45awesome deal.
27:48Ladden Lovelin. No sir. Uh hurts for Dvonte Smith straight up. I would do that easily. Um but that's going to do
27:54it for us today. Again, if you want access to my rest of season rankings, they come out every single Wednesday morning. We're actually now I'm I'm
