Player analysis
Player insights
Christian Watson
PositiveRole1:54
Following the season-ending injury to Jaden Reed and the offseason departures of other pass catchers, Christian Watson is established as one of the two clear top wide receivers in the Green Bay offense, ensuring a consistent and consolidated target share.
Insight pageDallas Goedert
PositiveInjury17:30
Dallas Goedert is expected to miss at least a month of the season, which the source identifies as a catalyst for increased target opportunity for Saquon Barkley in the Eagles' offense.
Insight pageDavante Adams
NegativeUsage5:52
The source uses Davante Adams as a model for contingent value, noting that while he provides a solid baseline, his true ceiling is unlocked during the games Puka Nacua misses, where he functions as a top-three wide receiver.
Insight pageDrake London
PositiveValue7:07
Drake London is a target for trade acquisitions as a low-end WR1. The source suggests initiating trade discussions now, anticipating improved performance once Michael Penix Jr. returns and noting a favorable upcoming schedule featuring multiple games in domes. London is currently ranked 52nd among wide receivers, a position that is unlikely to hold long-term, and can be acquired for a price equivalent to round four draft capital.
Insight pageEmeka Egbuka
PositiveProjection21:39
Despite a slow start with only 76 total yards through two weeks and a current ranking of 34th in points per game, the source believes better days are ahead for Emeka Egbuka, citing his missed training camp due to a toe injury and poor luck with catchable air yardage rates that should normalize.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
PositiveBreakout4:52
George Pickens is considered a low-end WR1 with significant contingent upside. While his box score has been hampered by downfield pass interference calls, the source expects him to convert those opportunities into long touchdowns soon and notes his massive ceiling if CeeDee Lamb were to miss time.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
PositiveProjection3:59
Javonte Williams is a buy-low candidate and a low-end RB1 for the rest of the season, currently ranked 14th. While his rush attempts have been limited to 12 in back-to-back weeks, this is attributed to poor team play volume and negative game scripts rather than a lack of role. As the Cowboys' play volume regresses toward their historical top-five average, Williams' production is expected to increase.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
PositiveValue0:07
Matthew Golden is a strong trade target who is currently 30th in rest-of-season rankings but possesses top-20 wide receiver upside. He has already seen 18 targets through two weeks and ranks 11th in expected fantasy points, suggesting his actual production will improve. With Jaden Reed out for the season and other pass catchers gone, Golden is locked into a primary role alongside Christian Watson.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
PositiveValue17:03
The source argues that the market is overreacting to Saquon Barkley's recent usage and poor offensive line play. Despite concerns about his passing game role, the source notes that his low target count against Washington was likely a schematic outlier, as he has historically struggled to get targets against that specific opponent. With Dallas Goedert expected to miss at least a month, Barkley is expected to see increased reliance in an offense that does not spread the ball around. The source ranks him as the RB12 rest-of-season and views him as a safe bet at a mid-range RB2 price point, given his consistent 15-17 weekly opportunities.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
PositiveUsage0:07
Tucker Kraft is a top tight end trade target due to his massive snap share increase from 66% in Week 1 to 98% in Week 2. Despite modest early production, his high participation rate ensures consistent target volume, and he is expected to be fully integrated into the game plan by midseason. He is currently the team's third option but will frequently serve as the primary or secondary pass catcher in a high-functioning offense.
Insight pageTyler Warren
PositiveValue15:54
The source identifies Tyler Warren as a preferred tight end option over Coulson Lovelin, indicating they would rather roster Warren than trade for Lovelin at current market prices.

Episode Transcript
0:00What's going on guys? It's Nick here back with another video. It's Wednesday.
0:02It's time to talk about the players who have been crushing your starting lineup, but who make for great trade targets if
0:07you're able to trade for them. We'll again talk about the Green Bay Pass characters. We talked about Tucker Craft and Matthew Golden last week. I think
0:15both of them stand out again this week, especially Tucker Craft. I mean, he jumped from a 66% snap share in week one
0:22to 98% last week. It did not mean he was like fully ramped up. They've been pretty consistent that like by midseason
0:32he's going to be fully integrated in to the game plan and that's when we'd expect him to be closer to 100%. So only
0:38has a two for 15 after three catches in week one. But the fact that he was already up to a 98% snap share shows
0:45that maybe it will be a little bit before mid-season that he is 100% good to go. The fact that he's out there that
0:51much just means random targets are going to flow his way even if they're not scheming him up to 100%. But then also
0:57you have this Reed injury. I mean already they lose Dantavian Wixs, they lose Romeo Dobs in the offseason, they don't really replace them with anyone
1:05and so we have a very consolidated target share. Well, now Jaden Reed probably done for the season or done for the vast majority of the season. And so
1:14now you only have Matthew Golden and Christian Watson as the very clear top wide receivers and no one else really after them is going to have any
1:23consistent target share. Tucker Craft is immediately number three on this team.
1:29Plenty of weeks where he's going to be number two or the number one pass catcher. This is still a very good
1:35passing offense. I don't know. I mean, I think he's just a screaming value.
1:39Easily the number one tight end trade target. I think overall Tucker Craft is probably my single favorite trade target because like if you have a tight end
1:47that hasn't been producing, maybe you went late tight end, you didn't necessarily hit. Tucker Craft is someone who has just not done that much to start
1:54the season, but I think is going to end up being a very consistent, very high weekly ceiling tight end. And I just
2:00don't think people are kind of viewing it that way right now. Similarish take for Golden. Obviously, Golden is not going to be like a high-end wide
2:07receiver one or anything, but he's right now 30th in my rest of season rankings, and it's the same take, right? You lose
2:14these pass catchers in the offseason, you don't replace them. So, he knew he was going to play a ton. The snaps won't
2:19change, right? Golden was already going to be out there every single snap he can handle. But now the game plan needs to
2:25always be centered around Golden, around Christian Watson. And so when they have games where they're really rolling on offense, he's going to have over 100
2:34yards. He's going to be used a lot in the red zone because they have to use him that way. 18 targets through two
2:40weeks already. 11th in expected fantasy points on the season, 23rd in actual fantasy points. That will even out a little bit. I think he's firmly a wide
2:49receiver. Three. Would not be shocked at all if he finished this season as a top 20 wide receiver. Maybe that feels
2:55aggressive, but he's a very talented player. He looks really good. He looks like he also took a step forward from last season. If you watch the routes
3:02he's running right now, he looks great.
3:04I don't know. I'm pretty excited about both of these two rest season. And it's not going to cost you all that much
3:08because they haven't exactly gone off to start the season. Next up, uh another duo on a team that's underperforming. I don't want to say the team's
3:15underperforming overall, but it's the Cowboys, right? Obviously, they lay an egg in week one, and they're terrible, and they played great last week, but
3:22it's still limited play volume, so they're still tied for 30th uh with only 53 plays per game thus far. This is
3:30Dallas. Like, I don't even care what the season is. They're going to be high in plays per game. Five or three straight
3:37years being top five in plays per game.
3:40seven straight years being top eight, so being 30th right now. Obviously, they are not going to average 53 plays per game. So, as a baseline, a lot of these
3:50players are going to increase in value.
3:51Obviously, CD Lamb is coming off an incredible day. You're not being able to trade for him. But George Pickins, Javvante Williams, they're still going
3:59to be very, very involved in this offense and they just haven't done a whole lot to start the year. Obviously, uh, Javvante had the really good week
4:07one, but I think people are looking at his, you know, rush attempts. I think he's exactly 12 in back-to-back weeks and did nothing last week, and they're
4:14like, the role is not there. No, the role is there. They're just not playing that much. And then you have the kind of
4:20two weirdish game scripts. Again, they fall apart in week one, and that's just never going to be a game where you're
4:26giving your running back a ton of rush attempts, right? When you're just falling from behind, you're not getting anything on offense, you're not going to
4:30see the rush attempts. And then last week, uh, a team that is much better against the run than the pass that they
4:36also blew out. Well, yeah. So, he didn't have the rush attempts again for a second consecutive week, but Javvante right now is my running back. 14 rest of
4:44the season. Um, and that whole range of like 10 through 14 is like very interchangeable. So, he's basically a low-end running back one rest season. I
4:52think Pickkins is also a low-end wide receiver one. Um, just been two strange games. Um, also for Pickkins, he's had some downfield targets that have turned
5:01into PI. That's a thing for him. So, we know Pickkins is a much more volatile player. We know there's going to be
5:06weeks where he gets, you know, 10 actual targets that don't actually all show up in the box score because three of them
5:13draw like downfield pass interferences and we're like, this is great for the offense, but it's kind of annoying in fantasy a little bit that we've got
5:20these looks downfield that these are potential long, you know, 50 or 60 yard touchdowns, but that he keeps drawing PI. Well, eventually he's not going to
5:27draw the PI. Eventually he's going to come down with those score some long touchdowns. Uh there's also been some plays where it wasn't PI that he's just
5:34kind of missed deep downfield. Again, that's kind of the George Pickins experience, but uh he only has 68 total yards through week two. Um he's going to
5:44have a big game soon and he's another player that, you know, keeps that contingent upside. Think about Dvonte Adams. If you had Adams on your team,
5:52you're cool with the baseline production, but you didn't necessarily draft Devonte Adams for what his role is when Puka is healthy. Like, it's good.
6:00It's fantastic, but that's not the ceiling case. The ceiling case is the four or five games that Puka could miss in a season. All of a sudden, he's a top
6:10three wide receiver in all of those. And that can win you a week. If you had uh Adams last week, this is one of the
6:18games that Puka missed. all of a sudden you probably won last week simply because you had Adams. The same thing is
6:24true for Pickkins. If CD Lamb misses even three or four games this season, we know in those games, maybe not all of
6:32them, he'll end up top three, but he's going to have a very, very clear shot of being a top three, top five wide
6:38receiver in all of those games. And he's probably going to win you a matchup or two in that stretch. and that's
6:44extraordinarily valuable when at a baseline he's also going to be very good in fantasy gonna improve from what we've seen so far. So just really um valuable
6:53players on a team that is underperforming in plays so far. 53 per game that's going to go way up. They're probably going to average at least 10
7:02more plays per game. Add in 10 more plays and these guys are starting to look a lot better. Next up we've got
7:07Drake London. Uh, another guy that's in that general like low-end wide receiver one range rest of season, 52nd in points per game through week two. Obviously,
7:18that's the Cooper Rush effect.
7:19Obviously, when they get Michael Pennocks back this week, things are going to look a lot better. Um, they play Thursday night, so you kind of have
7:27to make a decision before that. My gut says, uh, don't trade for him this week.
7:33I know he's in this trade video, but basically start trade offers now. Start the discussions for Drake London because, you know, the person who
7:40drafted Drake London probably in round two is struggling, right? Those are backtoback horrible days. I know the projection was very low, but most people
7:48looked at Drake London were like, I know the projection's terrible. I know it probably says bench him, but can you really bench Drake London ever when he's
7:55playing? So, most people played him.
7:56Most people underperformed in those two days. Plays on Thursday night. I think again going to get Pennix back. But uh if he underperforms again or is just
8:06like okay maybe has like five for 60 and doesn't score like four for 70 no touchdown and it's another day where
8:14you're like man I really need more from him now. Uh maybe you can start trade offers now. Make it very much in your
8:22favor. Okay if nothing gets done. If he underperforms on Thursday night, you've got a long time after that for the person to really think about their three
8:30duds from uh Drake London. And maybe it'll be better to get him after that because if we look at the upcoming
8:36schedule for Drake London, there are some difficult matchups mixed in. But if we look at the environments here, four consecutive games after this week in a
8:45dome. Then at Tampa Bay, more than likely going to be solid weather. They have uh the weather delay this last week, but more than likely at Tampa Bay,
8:53it's like decent weather. Uh and then four more dome games in a row with a buy mixed in. So, the first time that it's
9:00likely weather will matter for Drake London is going to be week 14. That's a long time. And right now it doesn't
9:08matter as much because even games in New England, um you know, in the middle of the country, like the weather's mostly
9:16okay. We had some terrible spots last week, but those are going to be a lot more prevalent the later and later we
9:21get into the season. Well, not for Drake London. He's got a ton of dome games, Florida game, like it's just he's going
9:28to be fine weatherwise. And again, you don't care about that too much right now. You're going to start to care about
9:33that a lot more as it goes on. And so, the fact he's also 52nd among wide receivers, which is obviously not going
9:38to hold long term. And the fact that you can get him for way cheaper than draft day cost. I mean, we weren't like
9:44excited about Drake London. I don't think many or like any of you watching this video really have him. He was just
9:50not a target for us this season. But if you're going to give us a super superstar wide receiver at a very very
9:56low price tag with sentiment way down, it still benefits us. Like at this point, I feel like you get him for like
10:02round four draft capital. And of course, we would have drafted Drake London if he was going in round four. So I think he's
10:09still low in one rest of the season. Uh I don't think it's going to take you that to get him. Uh, so just at least
10:15see and then hopefully, you know, even if you don't get something done, he duds on Thursday or has just an okay day on
10:20Thursday and can trade for him next week. Next up, uh, Saquon Barkley.
10:24Everyone is out on Saquon Barkley right now. And I get it, right? The offensive line is bad. Um, the passing game role
10:31looks diminished. Uh, but the market really, really does not like him. Fact of the matter is, he's still going to be
10:38a running back getting 15 to 17 opportunities every week. opportunities for more than that if they have, you know, a really strong matchup. He's
10:46doing well on the ground, they're winning later in the game, and he's going to be relied on a lot more with
10:50Dallas Goddard missing time. This is not an offense that really spreads the ball around all that much. You take GD off
10:56the field, they're not going to throw the tight end position at all, and it's not like they're going to throw 100% of
11:01the targets to wide receivers. So, I think if anything, if the passing game role was diminished, maybe it isn't anymore. And I'm not actually sure the
11:09passing role is diminished. He has the two targets in week one against Washington and you're like that's not great and two targets last week and
11:17you're like oh no the role isn't there.
11:19Well the Washington match up I mean that could just be a schematic thing. In his last four games against the Commanders
11:25he only has four receptions. So even dating back to like the last two seasons he has not been getting targets against
11:32the Commanders. So that wasn't anything new that we saw in week one. And then last week he only played 12 snaps. He
11:38had four rush attempts and two targets.
11:39And so on a normal day, he could have racked up like six plus targets. Now maybe you can't look at 12 total snaps
11:46and really extrapolate, but I think the point is he pretty much did what he always was against Washington in the first week and then he got hurt after
11:54getting two targets on 12 snaps. So I don't know that the passing role is that diminished. I do think it's probably
12:01going to be lower than prior seasons, but I also think people are maybe overreacting just a little bit to a very, very low sample size. He's not
12:10going to be a top five running back this season, but he's my running back 12 rest of the season. And when I posted that,
12:16people seemed very against it. So, I do think the person in your league that has him, you know, for a lot of you, there's
12:21a shot they only view him as like the 16th, 17th, 18th best wide receiver or running back rest of season, you know,
12:28more of that like mid-range running back, too. And I just think it's pretty difficult for him to like actually disappoint as a mid-range running back,
12:37too. There's a pretty large drop off after all the running back twos are gone this season. anyone getting 15 to 17
12:45opportunities every single week with a roll in the red zone with one of the top pass catchers on their team now missing
12:52at least a month of the season. I just think there's opportunity there. I think at a mid running back two price tag, I
12:59would absolutely go after him. Next up, Acha Ibuka. Only 76 total yards, I think 79 receiving, negative three rushing through two weeks. Um, even with the
13:09touchdown, he's only 34th in points per game right now. You have to think better days are ahead for Educa. Uh, Tampa Bay,
13:18you know, not as extreme as Dallas.
13:20Like, that is crazy. Dallas being 30th in points per game or plays per game when we know they're probably going to
13:24finish top five. Uh, but Tampa Bay is still 23rd in plays per game right now.
13:28They're a team that's going to consistently finish uh in the upper half. They're probably going to be top 15 this season. So, they are
13:34underperforming in plays per game so far. That will increase. But let's also remember that he missed most of training camp with the toe injury. Um, also been
13:42relatively unlucky with his targets.
13:44Fantasy Points has him right now last in the NFL among past catchers with at least 10 targets in catchable air yardage rate. That's just the percentage
13:53of air yards that are catchable. Right.
13:55So, he's got 165 airs. That's fairly strong. It's not like top of the league or anything, but it's pretty solid.
14:01Through two weeks, only 65 of them have been deemed catchable. So, does that give us some level of concern given how
14:09the second half went last season? Yes.
14:12But overall, you know, the fact that he's last by a good chunk in that percentage, I don't know. I don't think
14:18that's going to stick long term. Um, I do think that's more of a low sample size stat than anything. Um, he does
14:25have a brutal matchup against the Vikings. I think he's at least playing at home, but very difficult playing the Vikings. Again, weird things happen when
14:34you play them. He could easily have a good day because they're like, "Let's throw a bunch of screen passes to him
14:39because we have to get the ball out instantly, but more often than not, pass catchers underperform against the Vikings because of how good their
14:47defense is." And so, another player where I'd be like, "Okay, two underperformances here, a very good player, still probably ramping up to
14:56some degree coming off the injury. If he has another dud against the Vikings, I might be able to buy very low next week.
15:02And if I send some trade offers now, I'm top of mind for the person because you just want them thinking about it, right?
15:09Everyone knows, we've like seen trade offers come in and we're like, nah, I'm not going to trade them. And then you
15:13watch the games on Sunday and you're like, man, should have traded them because now the value is a lot lower.
15:19When that happens, you'll at least be top of mind for the person. Again, like I always say, don't send insulting trade
15:25offers, but send something where like if it gets done, you'd be like, "Oh, cool.
15:28I didn't think you'd accept that. It wasn't horrible. I just didn't think you'd accept it and now I'm very pleased that you did. Um, and if anything, if it
15:36doesn't go through again, probably not going to have that good of a day against the Vikings this week. Maybe get something done next week. And then
15:43finally, have to discuss Coloulston Lovelin. I do still think at least test the waters, right? I'm not trading, you know, like even like Sam Leaporta, um,
15:54Tyler Warren, like I would probably just rather have those guys. So, I'm not trying to send like my mid-range tight end one for Coastal Laughlin at a
16:01baseline right now. We have to be at least a little bit careful that he just does not have a role this season. You
16:07have to be cautious of that. But people are absolutely jumping ship. You understand it because he has one catch for three yards through two weeks. But
16:15if you can get him for like a flex player, if you drafted a really deep team, you hit on some mid-range wide
16:20receivers, running backs, and you've got a couple players that you could easily rotate into your flex spot, I am totally comfortable sending one of them away,
16:28maybe plus whatever tight end you have.
16:30If you went like late tight end, that's probably the optimal setup here is you went double late tight end. Uh maybe one
16:35of them is starting off okay, but you're like, I really would like a potential superstar in the spot. being able to
16:42trade away one of those late tight ends plus a flex player for Lovelin. That's hopefully what we can get done this
16:47week. Um, at the end of the day, how I view him is still the lead tight end on a team that scored 59 points in week one
16:56and is probably going to score over 30 points per game this season. If I had to guess, the the Bears are going to score
17:02like 33 points per game this season.
17:05They're probably going to finish number one in points per game. So, we've got a team like that who just drops a nuke in
17:11week one, 59 points against a defense that, you know, it was against the Falcons, but like the Panthers don't have a horrible defense this season.
17:18That was not like the worst defense in the league. That's how good the Bears offense is. But they play in this huge
17:25rainstorm. Not going to call it a monsoon, but like it was a huge rainstorm. The field was a complete sponge, wet everywhere against a top
17:33three defense that blitzed 81% of the time. So, a very different setup. In week two, they scored three total points. You know, again, you'd like to
17:42see him being more involved. Uh, we have seen in the past that um Ben Johnson has talked about going up against the
17:50Vikings and being like, you know, at times this is just not a tight end day.
17:53Uh, just because they blitz so often that they do need the tight ends in to block more. But even being that, he
18:00still ran a route on 70% of drop back.
18:02even asking him to go in and block a little bit more often. He's running plenty of routes. There will be days
18:08where they're playing teams that don't blitz all that often. There'll be games against teams that are really bad against tight ends. There'll be games
18:15where they score 40 45 points and he happens to be the one that scores a touchdown or two. So, I do think much
18:21better days are ahead. But again, I'm not trading a mid-range tight end one for Coulson Lovelin because I don't want to assume that much risk if you've got
18:29someone that's been relative productive so far. But if you went double late tight end or single late tight end and you want to trade that player plus a
18:36flex option for him, I do think in a lot of leagues people will accept that. And so it's at least worth seeing what the
18:42market is and just seeing if you can get a deal done this week because if he goes out there and has a day where he has
18:49seven for 100 and a touchdown, immediately he's off the trademark. And I don't know, I just still think this offense is so good and he's such a
18:58talented player that I don't think he's going to be a complete bust this season.
19:02But who knows? You got to do what you feel is right. So, those are my top trade targets after week two heading
19:08into week three. Make sure you subscribe to the channel because tomorrow we've got the big rankings video. We're going to break down every single game, talk
