Brian Thomas Jr.

PositiveProjection28:20

The source confirms Brian Thomas Jr. is showing his talent as the clear number one target on his team, dismissing concerns about his early-season performance.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveSleeper25:10

The source recommends buying low on rookie receiver Carnell Tate, who has 11 targets through two games. Despite a slow start, the source views him as a long-term asset for the fantasy playoffs and suggests trading away players like Jalen Coker to acquire him.

Insight page
PositiveValue30:21

The source suggests acquiring Carnell Tate now at a low price, noting that he will be a valuable asset for fantasy managers during the fantasy playoffs in weeks 14 through 17.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

PositiveBreakout14:06

The source advocates buying Dalton Kincaid, citing his 14 targets, 12 receptions, and 225 yards through two weeks. With DJ Moore dealing with an AC joint sprain, the source expects Kincaid to see increased usage and potentially ascend to a 'Travis Kelce-light' role in the Bills' offense.

Insight page

Geno Smith

PositiveUsage0:17

The source is betting the over on Geno Smith's passing yards for his Week 3 matchup against the Lions, citing consistent usage throughout the season.

Insight page
PositiveMatchup43:29

The source is bullish on Geno Smith for week three against the Lions, specifically recommending him for PrizePicks passing yard props.

Insight page

George Pickens

PositiveValue9:03

The source labels George Pickens as the best buy-low candidate in fantasy football, noting that his 21.5% target share is higher than his first two games last year. Despite a slow start, the source argues the volume is there and touchdown regression will lead to a bounce-back in the coming weeks.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

NegativeInjury31:49

J.K. Dobbins continues to struggle with durability, having missed 38 of his last 70 games. His inability to stay on the field creates a significant opportunity for backups like Jonah Coleman to earn a larger share of the backfield.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

PositiveBreakout30:54

Jonah Coleman is identified as a potential league winner. Despite being a fourth-round pick, he demonstrated explosive ability in his first opportunity, recording 10 carries for 39 yards and 3 receptions for 19 yards with a touchdown. The source views him as a high-upside asset who could produce monster numbers if he secures a larger role in the Denver offense.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

PositiveValue35:59

RJ Harvey is currently undervalued and available for free in many leagues. Despite a current hamstring injury, the source highlights his track record as a league winner down the stretch last year and encourages managers to acquire him while others are discouraged by his current status.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

PositiveValue37:24

The source advises buying Saquon Barkley while other managers are panicking due to his recent stinger injury and lack of touchdowns. The source believes the panic is an overreaction and suggests trading for him now to get a discount before his MRI results are released.

Insight page

Tank Bigsby

PositiveUsage40:19

Tank Bigsby is highlighted as a top-tier insurance running back. Despite low ownership (29%), he saw 15 touches in his recent outing and is viewed as a player who can provide solid fantasy production when given the opportunity.

1:08We're in on this Jets offense more than almost anybody.

1:52Bet on anything, anytime, anywhere. You're welcome. Welcome into the Lineup Fantasy Football Show.
1:56I'm Mitch Anderson. And I'm the Dynasty Dad. And we are still just a few days away from Mellow's triumphant return, so
2:02we are hopping into another Trade Targets episode. But before we do, if you have any specific trade questions or want in-depth
2:08advice on your team and how to get it on the right path towards the championship, you can get one-on-one support from
2:14me, Dynasty Dad, Mellow, Snoog, Brandon, all of us on the Smash Accept website, and get 25% off your first month with the code LINEUP25.
2:21But, Mike, I'm going to let you go first here.
2:23Who is the number one guy you're targeting right now going into week three?
2:27All right. For me, it's Tyler Shuck. And I think people don't believe in Tyler Shuck.
2:31I know, you know, last year when I watched him play down the stretch, and this is going to sound a little
2:37crazy, but I said more of a, not a poor man's, maybe a homeless man's Josh Allen.
2:42You see the jersey back there, you know. But I see shades of his game there, right?
2:46And he's got that moxie. He's been playing fantastic.
2:49Over 600 passing yards, four passing touchdowns. Over those two weeks, that game-winning drive against, you know, Baltimore.
2:54This guy here has what it takes, you know, and I think in the offseason, I was telling everybody, I think this guy has fringe QB1 upside.
3:01And Mitch, I think it might be higher than that.
3:04Like, this offense is just set up. The defense is not particularly great.
3:07The offensive weapons with Olave and Vele, and we're going to get Jordan Tyson back soon enough, which is even crazier, you know.
3:13And the running game, I mean, when you have Kamara and Etienne both catching passes, a non-existent running game, both those guys able to catch passes.
3:20I mean, the writing's on the wall for this guy to finish as a top 10 to 12 quarterback.
3:25And the next, I almost called you Snoog there, you know.
3:28Sometimes you might call me Mello. It's just how it works.
3:31But look at the next couple opponents, Raiders, Falcons, Vikings, Giants.
3:34I mean, he's set up for a monumental run here, you know.
3:38And I think that this week, we're really going to see the difference.
3:41He played two teams week one and two that were superior to them, so they were playing from behind.
3:46And I know that's going to be a lot of the argument is, you know, a lot of his points come from that slop time.
3:53So if we can see him go out and really play above where he is and play to the level up and
3:59above, but like I said, the Raiders and the Falcons, I think we could be looking at a guy that finishes top
4:0512 that when we have a guy like this, when you have a Tyler Shuck who a lot of people in the
4:11industry are down on, after two weeks, people are like, ah, whatever.
4:14It is what it is. But after three weeks, after four weeks, it's impossible to get him.
4:19So if he puts up two more weeks like he did here, he's a top five to eight quarterback right now.
4:24I think he finishes top 12, and I think no one really gives him the credit that he deserves.
4:29Yeah, I think this is a super interesting episode versus last week.
4:33I think we hit a lot of like buy low guys.
4:36And this one, you're calling your shot. We've got him at the quarterback five right now, 662 passing yards, four touchdowns through two weeks.
4:42And you're making the call that this is for real.
4:45And I have to agree with you because when you look at all of the things we talked about over the offseason,
4:51we talked about this Kellen Moore offense and having an extremely high pass rate.
4:54We talked about Tyler Shuck being willing to sling it.
4:57Chris Alave being a number one wide receiver, a volume monster.
5:00And he's checking all of these boxes. And then the biggest thing, and this is more of a dynasty issue, is so
5:06many people were like, is he going to leave 2026 with the job?
5:09So far, I know we're only two weeks in.
5:12100%. He's looked like the real deal to me.
5:14And so I actually love this a lot. I think there's a chance you're in a league with a manager who just
5:20drafted what Tyler Shuck is their quarterback too. And maybe they're just like, yeah, I can get out early on this guy, sell high.
5:27We're telling you this is not the ceiling for Tyler Shuck.
5:30The ceiling is the roof. I would go out and grab him.
5:33And if you picked up Devon Vele like you suggested last week, you're probably loving life right now.
5:38On to our number two guy, though. This to me is, let's get back into the buy low territory.
5:43I think this is just the best buy low in fantasy football.
5:46And that's George Pickens. We talked a lot this offseason about how George Pickens might be a little overpriced.
5:51In fantasy football drafts. Talked about how we believe CeeDee Lamb is the true wide receiver one in this offense.
5:57That being said, I just think that this is like out of control of the George Pickens hate that's going around right now.
6:03Sure, he hasn't lit up the scoreboard in your fantasy matchups.
6:06But Dak Prescott has targeted him 14 times in two weeks.
6:09He is still plenty involved and the production is going to come.
6:12Nine receptions for 68 yards. Not the start you were hoping for.
6:15But Ryan Heath at fantasy points actually raised an extremely telling stat on Twitter.
6:19Through two games, his 21.5% target share is actually ahead of last year through the first two.
6:24When we were all praising George Pickens for being the next big thing in Dallas.
6:28And then one of the things that made him so valuable then was the touchdown upside.
6:32Which just hasn't happened yet. And we know touchdowns are not that sticky of a stat.
6:36Unless you're just one of those guys like James Cook that is in an offense that puts him in the end zone twice a game.
6:43But I really do think we're going to see here in week three.
6:46So do not get caught up with the raw fantasy football numbers.
6:50Pickens managers are probably scrambling right now. It's possible they're 0-2.
6:53Likely at least 1-1. So go out and buy a guy who's on a discount.
6:57Whose usage suggests brighter days are ahead in one of the highest scoring offenses in the NFL.
7:01Yeah, I mean when you look at real life football.
7:04You know, I saw the statistic yesterday. If you start out 2-0, you have a 75% chance of making the playoffs.
7:10Fantasy is kind of the same way. And if you start out 2-0, you could start to cherry pick off of teams that are 0-2.
7:16That don't believe in George Pickens. Or, you know, really think that that's...
7:20You look at it as a 1A, 1B. Last year, the 1A side literally went to the George Pickens side over CeeDee Lamb.
7:26CeeDee Lamb has balled out. He's been healthy. He's cleaned up the drops.
7:29Pickens is now having a couple of drop issues.
7:32But I think, just like I've always said when you have like Tee Higgins and things like that, is you have an elite alpha as the number two.
7:39But if the number one ever goes down, you're going to see insane volume.
7:43So it's a matter of George Pickens is a phenomenal buy low.
7:46I'm glad that you hit on that way because I think after week two, there's so much headway to make, right?
7:52Week one, you're like, was it real? What was this?
7:55Was this an anomaly? Week two, you're like, all right, this is starting to become a trend now.
8:00But then you can look at guys like Shuck and say, well, this is a trend.
8:04He's starting to move up. Or you can look at guys like George Pickens.
8:08You're like, is this a trend or is he going to buck out of it?
8:12And I think ultimately we start to believe in narratives in fantasy football, right?
8:16There's so many guys where you're like, if you totally believe in George Pickens, which I do, which you do, you think
8:21it's the writings on the wall that a clear bounce back is coming in week three or week four.
8:27Yeah, I just think as someone who I think people have considered like anti-George Pickens over the offseason, I was just taken
8:33aback by how much we were paying for him in drafts and people were just treating him like he was going to
8:38be so close to what he did last year.
8:41And now the panic in the streets is out of control.
8:44So go buy George Pickens. Yeah, my next buy.
8:46And again, we're talking about narratives here is very similar to what I said about Tyler Shuck.
8:51In the offseason, everyone was hating on Dalton Kincaid.
8:53They're like, he can't stay healthy. He can't get it done on the field.
8:57They remember the drops in the playoffs. But I mean, through two games, 14 targets, 12 receptions, 225 receiving yards, 18.8 yards per catch.
9:03I mean, this is no joke, right? Now you get DJ Moore going down to that AC joint sprain and you could
9:09see Dalton Kincaid take over midway through that game.
9:12You know, like he had a really good week one.
9:15Week two, he was playing well. And when DJ Moore got hurt, he just ascended.
9:19And just like we're talking about with Tyler Shuck, could this be the official breakout?
9:23Like Dalton Kincaid's a guy I loved coming out of college.
9:26I thought he had a ton of upside. He's never been able to stay healthy.
9:30This could be it, Mitch. Like this could be where we see when he came out of college, I compared him again.
9:36We're going back to the Travis Kelsey light, you know, and I know we always want to look at these things, but that's how he plays.
9:43You know, and I think if the Bills truly utilize him like this, he could ball out, you know, and I think
9:48they have a lot of juicy matchups coming up.
9:51Chargers, Patriots, Rams, a lot of shootouts. I want as many pieces of this Buffalo offense.
9:55And if it's not Dalton Kincaid, who's going to be the wide receiver?
9:59We're going back to Khalil Shakir. What are we doing?
10:01To me, it's Dalton Kincaid. And just like the narrative with Shuck, are people truly believing?
10:06You know, I've been buying him in Dynasty ever since, you know, this week ended.
10:10Like, I know it's just been a couple of hours, but I've been going out there making offers because people don't believe the narrative.
10:16They're like, okay, this is what happened. Now this is who he is.
10:20This is a two-game anomaly. If it happens in week three, week four, now we're talking about a guy that you just
10:26bought low on that is obviously on that upward trajectory.
10:28And I know that's a little bit different than what we did last week where it was like, oh, these guys were bad, but now they're going up.
10:36I believe in Dalton Kincaid, and I don't think all of your league mates do.
10:40Yeah, I had concerns in the offseason, and it stemmed from just one thing.
10:44I was worried about if he was going to get the usage.
10:47We saw last year he led the entire NFL in yards per route run.
10:51The talent was just so clear and obvious, but we just weren't seeing him get out there.
10:55We weren't seeing the route share that we were hoping for out of Dalton Kincaid.
10:59And so I think I was maybe a little bit timid to draft him where he was going.
11:04And then week one happened, and you look at the metrics, and I was like, you know what?
11:09I think I'm buying in. I think I want this piece of a Josh Allen offense.
11:13And so we made a call last week on a social video about the fact that we were going all in on him.
11:19Then last week happens. He absolutely explodes on Thursday night.
11:22And so I think you're exactly right. I think that a lot of managers are smart enough to know that this is
11:28for real, but I think a lot of them still have that bad taste in their mouth from drafting Dalton Kincaid a
11:34year ago, two years ago, and him just not getting out there too much.
11:38He has shown it so far through two weeks.
11:40The coaching staff has shown it. Joe Brady wants him out on the field.
11:44He is absolutely tearing it up right now at tight end.
11:47He's obviously going to be a little bit more expensive than what you would have paid last week, but I still think that price tag is worth it.
11:55And a lot of people in the Discord that we have over there at Smash Accept are like, well, you know, I
12:00don't think my league is going to sell him.
12:03You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
12:05You may as well try. Because everyone drafted him as a tight end too.
12:09You know, he was going in that 12 to 14 range as far as drafting tight ends.
12:14Maybe you took him as your back end tight end one, but a lot of situations here, he's their tight end too.
12:20They might have Trey McBride ahead of him. They might have some.
12:23Shoot your shot. You know, like you never know.
12:25And at least if you make a trade offer, this is what really bothers me, you know, is when people are like, they're really reluctant to trade.
12:32To me, it's like you reach out. You say, hey, I'm interested in Dalton Kincaid.
12:37You willing to sell? Worst thing they say is no.
12:39Best thing is you start a dialogue and then you create a relationship with that person.
12:44It's a little bit different when you're playing in like a cutthroat with your boys, but where there's so many different variations of leagues.
12:50There's so many different things. Shoot your shot, guys.
12:52Yeah. And that's great advice. Start dialogues. Don't be the guy who sends like absolutely garbage trade offers because that's how you start the bad relationships.
12:59But be the person that someone can actually talk to about trades because you'll never know if something pops up in a
13:05few weeks and they're willing to move Dalton Kincaid because they have another positional need.

15:02Bet on anything, anytime, anywhere. You're welcome. On there later today, breaking down 12 other players you need to trade for with
15:08a little bit more of a Dynasty Fantasy Football lens.
15:10But let's get into a guy that's been a lot of the talk of Dynasty Fantasy Football this summer.
15:15Let's talk Carnell Tate. And one of the biggest pieces of advice we gave this offseason was draft rookies.
15:21Don't trade them. And now is when push comes to shove.
15:23Because if you have him, you are probably so frustrated.
15:26Seven catches, 65 yards through two games. But if you don't have him, now is the time to strike.
15:31We mentioned it so many times that he was probably going to start slow relative to the price he drafted him at.
15:37So I don't think any of this should come as a massive surprise to you.
15:41But like we said earlier, panic hits when a manager is 0-2 or even like a rough 1-1.
15:46Like they snuck out a win and they're really trying to shake up their team.
15:50And what I've seen from Carnell Tate is a guy who has 11 targets through his first two games.
15:55That I'd be willing to sell off somebody that has been like flying really high through these first two.
16:00We talked about him last week. He had another great game.
16:03I know people are going to call me crazy for this.
16:06I would go sell Jalen Coker to go get Carnell Tate right now.
16:10Because Fantasy Championships are not won in weeks 1 and 2.
16:13They're won in weeks 14 through 17. And that's exactly when we see these talented rookie receivers break out.
16:18So I'm buying low on Tate after a pedestrian performance against a really good Eagles defense.
16:22There are much brighter days ahead for this Tennessee offense.
16:25Yeah, and I thought Cam Ward looked a lot better this week.
16:28A lot better. I think that's really what we need to see.
16:31And Carnell Tate is someone that was phenomenal in college.
16:34You were right. Like it was going to be something where he was drafted in elite territory.
16:39You know, and I think it was a matter of people getting overly excited.
16:42I saw people drafting him as high as round five.
16:45Even over your boy back there, Parker Washington. I'm a believer, man.
16:48Like you can't not believe in him. How could you not be now?
16:52He was going to be my third guy on this show because it's a matter of there still are doubters.
16:57They're like, well, you know, we could have this.
17:00No, you can't. Okay. BTJ is showing who he is.
17:02We're stripping the title of BTJ because that sounds cool.
17:05He's just Brian Thomas Jr. You know, we're not, we're not giving enough, but I'm with you wholeheartedly here.
17:10Carnell Tate has a ton of talent. He's the clear number one there on the, on the team and targets.
17:16But if you look at guys that, I mean, he is outside the top 50 wide receivers.
17:20He like I.O. Minora on his own team has more fantasy points right now.
17:24You know, that that's not going to hold up.
17:26Like these are not the same level talent. He's down there at 13.5 fantasy points in the same range as Keon Coleman, Roman Wilson, Mack Hollins.
17:33And you're like, Ooh, that is not who I drafted.
17:36And you were right. Do not trade rookies. You draft them.
17:39You see what happens, you know, and I'm seeing people drop Makai Lemon.
17:42They're dropping, you know, Jonah Coleman, who we're about to get to.
17:46They're dropping players. And you're like, relax, right? You, you can drop, you know, dead weight of a guy that is not going to perform.
17:52You know, a guy that we're veteran that we've seen over and over again, but you don't go and drop a rookie
17:58who hasn't even played three games yet. Yeah. I, I'm going to save all my Jonah Coleman talk for a few minutes
18:04when you introduce him, because I've got so much to say to there, but I just, I completely agree with you.
18:10I don't understand why you would draft a guy who is about to play his first NFL games and he gets through
18:16two of them and there's panic in the streets.
18:18And I regret drafting him. Go take advantage of that.
18:21If you've got somebody in your league, who's freaking out about Carnell Tate, because you're going to be in weeks 14, 15, 16, 17 with Carnell Tate.
18:28And you paid some like at that time, what will have seemed like a ludicrously low price for Tate.
18:33Yeah. Ludicrously. I don't think I've seen that. You know, I'm a big ludicrous, my fan, but I've never actually heard that one combined.
18:40But I mean, I was like, I don't know if that's a word.
18:43We'll play it out. You know what I mean?
18:46If it's not, we'll call Webster when this is done.
18:48We'll see if we can incorporate that in. Yeah.
18:51I know the same thing when you're hosting it up.
18:54Listen, Jonah Coleman is a guy that people wrote off because he got drafted in the fourth round.
18:58But in college, almost 4,000 total yards, 38 total touchdowns, absolute bowling ball workhorse.
19:02You know, a guy that was phenomenal. Now we look at him and I said during the offseason, you're like, okay, RJ Harvey's ahead of him.
19:09J.K. Dobbins, whose legs are put together with paper mache, is ahead of him.
19:13And J.K. Dobbins just can't stay healthy. He exited in week two.
19:16Harvey's out with a hamstring injury. And Jonah Coleman got his shot.
19:19And I know the stat line doesn't sound crazy, but when you watch the game, he was explosive.
19:2410 carries for 39. Exactly. 10 for 39. Three receptions for another 19.
19:28Scored that touchdown, which is the first of many there in Denver.
19:31And I do think Jonah Coleman is a guy that, you know, before the week started was in that 40% owned range.
19:37Because everyone's like, he's not just an insurance running back.
19:40You know, like I don't love the terminology handcuff.
19:42I love insurance because you've got that guy, you have that insurance policy behind him.
19:46He was the insurance to the insurance. You know, like the assistant to the regional manager.
19:50He was that guy that you're like, okay, two things has to happen.
19:54Guess what? Both of them happened this week. You know, Harvey was unable to play because of the hamstring.
19:59We know that those can linger. J.K. Dobbins has been a guy that has not been able to stay on the field.
20:05I think now he's at 38 out of his last 70 games he's missed.
20:09So he's just can't stay healthy. And I love J.K.
20:11Dobbins. But Jonah Coleman has the upside to be one of those guys that I call a league winner.
20:17You know, I mean, we talked about it in the offseason with guys like Blake Corum, Kyle Manungai, Jonathan Brooks.
20:22I think we now have to add the rookies, Kalon Black and Jonah Coleman in that mix of like, if these guys
20:28truly get the opportunity in the offense that they're in, they're going to put up monster numbers.
20:32And this is just a taste of what we're going to see from Jonah Coleman.
20:36Mike, I think you're forgetting about the pinky promise J.K.
20:39Dobbins gave to us that he was going to play all 17 games.
20:43And I'm a big believer in the pinky promise.
20:45It sounds like one of those promises you get from an ex-girlfriend.
20:48You know, they're not staying true. You know, like I just when I watched him, I completely agree with you.
20:54I think the eye test tells you more than what the box score might have just because a lot of his carries
21:00also came in like short yardage situations, which will bring down your yards per carry.
21:04But I look at the fact that you had like J.K.
21:07Dobbins trying to get into the end zone and it was this string of like zero yard rush, negative one yard rush, zero yard rush.
21:13And you bring in Jonah Coleman, the way we described him through the draft process, Mello and I were like, he's just a bowling ball.
21:20Like when this guy starts getting ahead of steam, he can just fly and he just first carry out the goal line, takes it in.
21:27I think Sean Payton saw that. And I think that guy earned himself a lot more carries reminds me a lot of
21:33RJ Harvey last year when he started kind of getting going.
21:36And the next thing you knew, RJ Harvey was on fire for the back end of the year.
21:41The biggest thing with Jonah Coleman is going to be how much time does Harvey miss?
21:45How much time does Dobbins miss? Because then you get in a little bit of a timeshare situation.
21:50But if he has this backfield to himself, I entirely agree with you.
21:53Like it's genuine league winner potential. Well, I'm glad you said RJ Harvey too, because it's like he's free now.
21:59So basically you can go out there and get RJ Harvey.
22:02And so many people have a bad taste in their mouth of what they think RJ Harvey should be, but he was
22:07a league winner down the stretch last year. He was putting up some monster numbers.
22:12So when we do shows like this, what I love to say is like, everyone's a buy and everyone's a sell, you
22:17know, no matter how you play it. It's just what kind of narrative you're telling yourselves.
22:22And I'm obviously much more dynasty minded, but when we talk even redraft, I mean, you've got to look at, you look more than the box scores.
22:29So many of your league mates are just looking at the box scores.
22:33They're not paying attention to what's really happening. And there is opportunities to make these trades and kind of get ahead.
22:38100%. Let's wrap things up by going from a guy that we are hoping to see it from to a guy that
22:44people think doesn't still have it in Saquon Barkley, 15 for 83 in week one, and then four for nine in week two, no touchdowns on the year.
22:52The report's coming out that Saquon's getting an MRI after leaving yesterday's game with a stinger.
22:56I think at 29 years old, it makes sense.
22:58But way too many people are smashing the panic button on Saquon Barkley.
23:02From what I saw, this is a guy that just went for five and a half a carry in week one against
23:08the commanders who had to leave with an injury that wasn't so severe that he wasn't able to come back in for
23:14at least a few snaps in the second half.
23:16And I think the biggest thing in general that people are mad about is that Saquon came in and they ruined their
23:22bet insurance or whatever on their parlays. And so there's this big angry mob on Twitter right now for Saquon Barkley.
23:28Go take advantage of the anger. Go trade with a manager that's got the ick from last year and is already tired of what they've seen this season.
23:35Saquon himself just said, I'm all right. We'll know more after an MRI.
23:39So my advice here is if you want to take a swing for the fences and just get an absolute steal, I'd
23:45go try to make that trade today or tomorrow before that MRI comes back and just bank on it being good news.
23:51If you want to be a little bit safer and thoughtful, try to just get a solid discount, wait for the MRI
23:57to get back and just see if you can kind of figure out what the right value is on Saquon and go buy him.
24:03You're just going to get a much cheaper discount if you try to do it before we get results back.
24:08Obviously, you're taking a risk with that. So with how insane the panic is, I think you'd be shocked how many people
24:14are willing to move Saquon right now. Yeah. And I think the other play there is, I mean, Tank Bigsby is still
24:20only 29% owned, you know, and I look at Tank Bigsby.
24:23He came in, he had 15 touches, not super productive with it, still put up 11.8 fantasy points.
24:28But what's going to happen, right, is Saquon's going to come back and everybody's going to drop Tank Bigsby.
24:33But Tank's Bigsby to me is one of those guys that I think is a top five to 10 insurance running back
24:39that, when given the opportunity, can put up solid fantasy points like he proved this week.
24:43And I think, obviously, even more down the stretch.
24:46So I'm with you, man. I love Saquon. I'm here in the Philly area and I'm going to be kicking the tires
24:52trying to get some Saquon shares this week for sure.
24:54It's worth reaching out and seeing what you can do, just like we said.
24:58But those are our six players that we are targeting for trades heading into week three.
