[Jason Moore]

Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Jason Moore]

I'm starving now.

[Andy Holloway]

I know. Delicious, right? Yes, it is. Wednesday, October 7th.

[Mike Wright]

There's not much I enjoy more in life than beef jerky.

[Andy Holloway]

I agree with that. I feel like I could. Don't give me the whole package because I'll just down the whole thing.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, we gotta. We gotta put him on, like, a portion control. Here's a piece of beef jerky.

[Mike Wright]

If someone hands me a whole bag, that's them saying, here, eat this.

[Andy Holloway]

My policy on beef jerky is identical to my policy on ice cream, which is. I just want a lot of it. That. That makes it a better experience. So welcome to the show. This is the Fantasy Footballers Podcast. I'm Andy Holloway, joined by Mike the fantasy Hitman. Right.

[Mike Wright]

Mike the Beef jerky man.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. Okay. And Jason Moore.

[Jason Moore]

Howdy. I am looking forward to answering listener questions today.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, it is a mailbag episode. We are answering as many as we can on the show today. We know people are, you know, they're in trade season. There are some offers sitting on your desk, and you, as the general manager of your fantasy football franchise, are ready to make some decisions.

[Mike Wright]

Don't blow it.

[Andy Holloway]

Don't screw it up. Don't trade for the wrong guys. We'll give you the best advice we can today. So we're going to get into that. And you guys got anything going on other than, you know, apparently, an obsession with beef jerky?

[Jason Moore]

I have a team that has, like, four bye weeks, and I need to drop some people that I don't want to drop. That's time for two for one trades special. You come. You come get them.

[Mike Wright]

What is. What are you dealing with right now? Who you got on by?

[Jason Moore]

I got. Apparently, I love the Panthers. I have Cam Newton. I got Greg Olson. I got the Panthers D as well.

[Andy Holloway]

So the Panthers are on by is what we found out this week. The Panthers Are on by news alert. Yeah. You know, you don't get to start Jonathan Stewart. Are you disappointed?

[Mike Wright]

You had Cricket.

[Jason Moore]

You had Jonathan Stewart did, but I got rid of him. Thank you, Andy.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I had him too, and I got rid of him. Thank you.

[Jason Moore]

He's like hot potato.

[Andy Holloway]

I've got Mike Evans for him now. Who knows where he's gonna land? But that's not true. I know he's gonna run for nine for 50 or not nine for 50. Maybe 15 for 50.

[Mike Wright]

There you go.

[Andy Holloway]

So let's get into the mailbag. Yeah, let's do it.

[Jason Moore]

Mailbag.

[Mike Wright]

Mailbag.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, straight up trade question.

[Mike Wright]

Straight up.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike Evans for James Jones. Would you do that trade? How insane is that trade?

[Mike Wright]

What a world we live in.

[Andy Holloway]

A just crazy world. And everything I saw from the packers tells me I'm not sure I am.

[Jason Moore]

Still going to take the Mike Evans side. I am probably the least high of the three of us on Mike Evans, so I would be surprised if either of you don't. However, I think, you know, when Devonta free, when Devonte Adams comes back, he's still going to be the number one or two in targets. And so I would take Mike Evans.

[Andy Holloway]

I would take Mike Evans.

[Mike Wright]

I would take Evans.

[Andy Holloway]

Let me throw this out there. Before we get to the next question, would either of you guys like to make a water bet with me?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I would love to.

[Andy Holloway]

We were talking before the show about Eddie Lacy. Obviously his workload has been a little bit problematic. We also talked about Arian Foster. And so I'd love to make a rest of season bet. So put this in there. This would be from week five on rest of season, Lacey versus Foster. I take Foster. No injury clause on either side. What do you think?

[Mike Wright]

Absolutely.

[Andy Holloway]

I am both down.

[Jason Moore]

Yes. Waterbed Arian.

[Mike Wright]

Breaking news. Aaron Foster is dead.

[Andy Holloway]

No, he's not dead. He's fine. He's playing on Thursday. And then you guys are gonna regret that.

[Jason Moore]

He's your number two, right?

[Andy Holloway]

Correct. Yeah. I've taken away the number one for my rank so that they're protected. Or. Or I put Eddie Lacy is my new number one.

[Jason Moore]

There you go.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't. Lacey's fine. Lacy's totally fine. He's great. I mean, he's gonna have huge games this year, but he's also sharing some snaps. He hasn't had a big game this year. And he's got a little ankle problem, too. We don't. You know, it's not just Aaron. Arian doesn't have the monopoly on injuries, guys.

[Mike Wright]

He's got a large market share.

[Andy Holloway]

He's gonna have the monopoly of the workload, though, this week, so. All right, Adam in Fantasy island sounds like a wonderful place.

[Jason Moore]

I'm coming.

[Andy Holloway]

He needs two wide receivers to start alongside obj. He has Matthews, Aiken, and Allen Robinson. Who would we take this week? Now, it's interesting you bring up Kamar Aiken, because Aiken is the number one right now playing the Browns at home. He needs two wide receivers to start along. Odell Beckham Jr. Two more along.

[Mike Wright]

Jordan Matthews is absolutely in for me. It's a plus matchup. If you watched the game. Sam Bradford just missed Jordan Matthews for a touchdown that I believe turned into a Miles Austin touchdown. Something along those lines. But Jordan Matthews is still getting a ridiculous share of the targets up in Philadelphia, so he's in for me.

[Andy Holloway]

I take Matthews and Robinson.

[Mike Wright]

Yep.

[Andy Holloway]

And I don't get too cute with Kamar Aiken.

[Mike Wright]

You're not aching for some bacon.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. You've got. You've got good options there. Aiken is a. Is a good streamer when you're out of options.

[Andy Holloway]

He also says he listens every day and he feels smarter. Smarter than everyone in his league because of it.

[Jason Moore]

Wow. Thanks.

[Mike Wright]

You like Yogi Bear?

[Andy Holloway]

You know, I wouldn't have mentioned it if that wasn't a complete fact. All right, Dave in Boston. Dave in Boston. Sammy Biscuits Sam Bradford or Carson Palmer at quarterback.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

Cardinals playing the Lions.

[Mike Wright]

It's on the road.

[Andy Holloway]

It is on the road. And Carson had his highest yardage game last week, but only one touchdown.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he says the game flow and market correction of the touchdowns happened to Carson Palmer. I still. I still trust Palmer every week. And Sammy Biscuits. What was the matchup?

[Jason Moore]

Saints. He's playing Saints, but he's in Philly. So I'm going to take Sammy Biscuits.

[Mike Wright]

I'm going to take Carson Palmer.

[Andy Holloway]

I will go with Palmer. So Mike Evans or Vincent Jackson at wide receiver this week? We know Evans had a tough matchup last week against Norman, the Incredible Storm. And Norman, he's awesome.

[Mike Wright]

He's very good. Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

I think he broke. So I'm gonna misquote it, but he broke some record of pick sixes. What is shaking? Who's shaking the desk?

[Mike Wright]

Oh, is that me?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Sorry about that.

[Andy Holloway]

I was like, what is.

[Mike Wright]

I'm amped up.

[Andy Holloway]

I just. Like Eddie Lacy walked in the room or something.

[Jason Moore]

So we got. It's like that.

[Mike Wright]

You see the.

[Jason Moore]

You know.

[Mike Wright]

You know, Eddie Lacy's coming. When you're. When your water, your glass of Water starts pulling like the Tyrannosaurus.

[Andy Holloway]

I know you're like, oh, crap, here comes.

[Mike Wright]

And then.

[Andy Holloway]

And then you're disappointed when Richardson walks in.

[Mike Wright]

So hide the Burger King. The Teddy Lacey's coming. Oh, all right.

[Jason Moore]

So Tampa Bay wide receivers. Is that the question?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Jason Moore]

Tampa Bay wide receivers because they're going up against the Jacksonville, Jaguar, Jaguars, Jaguars. Jaguars. I believe Mike Evans is going to have the better opportunity there. There's no true elite guy like a Norman to shut him down.

[Mike Wright]

So for me, you're. You're really talking, flip a coin. Evans is the talented, more talented guy. But for what's going to come down to, I think every week is just who gets the touchdown. And I would say the probability leans towards Evans. But this isn't just a.

[Jason Moore]

This.

[Mike Wright]

It's not a slam dunk. I'm going to. I'm going to plug Evans in weekly. But knowing that Vincent Jackson can easily.

[Jason Moore]

Get the touchdown, this is exactly why I don't want either of them on my team right now. I don't want Mike Evans because you pretty much have to plug him in week in and week out. And I, you know, I want guys that have a higher baseline that aren't going to just one week help me win and one week help me lose. I would have drafted Torrey Smith.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I guess I just don't see Evans that way. I mean, I like him a lot.

[Mike Wright]

I'm just saying.

[Andy Holloway]

17 targets and then he faced Norman. He still got eight targets. Like I'm talking about, those are the only two games that we have.

[Mike Wright]

I like them both, especially this week. I'm playing both of them. I plugged Vincent Jackson into my lineup this morning, but. So either I would lean Evans, but just understanding that maybe Vincent Jackson gets the touchdown and has the higher output.

[Andy Holloway]

So that's going to be a very difficult. Evans was 12 touchdowns in 12 his last 12 games last year.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, he's.

[Andy Holloway]

But no, I'm not disagreeing. I'm just pointing out the stats people can make their own decision. I don't disagree. There are going to be games. I mean, Roddy White had games that are better than Julio every week, too. I look at it somewhat similar. Not.

[Mike Wright]

Not anymore. Roddy White.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, I'm talking like last year. Yeah, he came out and said he's super disappointed because he believes he's getting open, but he's not part of the progression for Matt Ryan. And I would agree with the target numbers. I know, I know. All right, let's talk about Jeremy Macklin. For a second.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Ready, Mike? No, you're not going to, you're not going to say Jeremy.

[Mike Wright]

Apologize to Jeremy because my.

[Andy Holloway]

Fine. Don't. All right, Chris in Salem, Oregon, I have a real hard time deciding what to do with Macklin. He's been offered Lamar Miller and Jonathan Stewart for him. So talk to me a minute about Macklin and then talk to me about this trade. So he's offered Lamar and jstu. Is he selling high? Is he buying low? Is he trading reliability for meh.

[Mike Wright]

Here is my deal with Macklin. My arguments against Macklin have never ever been against his talent. Jeremy Macklin is a fantastic receiver. It would my. My question was with Alex Smith, the risk proof quarterback, can he get Macklin the ball enough? And the answer the last couple weeks has been yes. And his target share is, I think, close to 30% of the targets every single week. So, yeah, moving forward, Macklin is. Is absolutely a guy. And I would not trade him right now for Miller and Stewart. That, and that speaks greatly of how I've fallen on Stewart and Miller.

[Andy Holloway]

It depends. This one depends on what you have on your team too. I mean, if you need a running back, I don't mind buying low on these guys. Give Miller another shot in a couple weeks when the team's turned over. But I feel like Macklin was this delicious piece of cake that you saw at a party and it was sitting on this kind of, you know, ugly plate and you didn't appreciate the cake for what it was. You were just focused on the plate it was sitting on and then you finally took a bite and it's really good. It's delicious.

[Mike Wright]

Macklin is a delicious piece of cake.

[Jason Moore]

There is no. I agree. I think that the plate does matter in the sense that, you know, it's not just a bad looking plate.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, what if it's in your mouth?

[Jason Moore]

But what if the plate is like scalding hot and you have to grab the cake by the plate? That's a more accurate analogy here. You could burn your hands. But here's another.

[Andy Holloway]

Some cake tastes good no matter what plate it's on. That's.

[Jason Moore]

That's true.

[Andy Holloway]

It's just a matter of I'll eat it off the dirt. I don't care. I'll eat that cake right off the dirt. That's more accurate.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, because you're getting a little bit of dirt on that cake.

[Mike Wright]

In the dirt.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you got to eat your. Your Jeremy Macklin cake off the dirt.

[Andy Holloway]

Can we make some bet with Macklin again? This Week, I want to make one every week.

[Jason Moore]

Here's one of the other things about this trade is that both J stuff and Lamar Miller are on bye weeks. And I've seen a lot of trades, people don't know what to do. Do I trade a bi week guy? Do I trade for a bye week guy? Here's one thing that you have to keep in mind when you're doing a trade. If it's not a clear cut win, if it's like, I think I like this guy better than that guy. But all of a sudden you're making this week a risky proposition for getting a win because you're taking a guy like Jeremy Macklin out of your roster and putting nobody back in. It's no longer a win. I mean you, if you are going to end up taking a loss for a, for a marginal trade, don't do it.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I wouldn't do it.

[Andy Holloway]

I agree with that. And just speaking to Jason's point, if you want to trade for a guy this week, if you believe in him, and I'd love to hear you guys opinion, but I would consider trading for Deion Lewis because he's coming off of his bye week so he doesn't have a buy the rest of the way. So if you can swap a similar guy, this is a hot tip, okay? Hot fantasy tip for the pro player. If you can swap a similar guy that you see in your eyes that that guy still has a bye week coming up and your guys buys in the past.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Andy Holloway]

I love it.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you're gaining an injury free week.

[Andy Holloway]

Exactly. And every, all the wins, Week five wins count, Week six wins count towards the end of the season. You don't just need to win then, you need to win now too. So that's something I'd look into. But let me ask you about Dion Lewis then, rest of season, what are your thoughts on him? I mean you've had what, three weeks. Yeah, three weeks of looking good and.

[Mike Wright]

He'S, he's getting the snaps which it's, it's so hard because. Because of the abuse that we have taken as fantasy players from Belichick's running back situation. It's still very difficult in my heart and in my soul to really buy into Lewis. But I am.

[Andy Holloway]

What did you see on tape, Jason, when me and you were debating a trade? And you can kind of answer this one. Mike too, he's trying to get Alshon Jeffrey from me and he's offering me packages with Deion Lewis, different packages. And I'm sitting there, I'M looking at the tape on Dion Lewis. I'm watching the coaches film on Dion Lewis. He's watching tape on Dion Lewis, you know, but then you have game flow. You've got LeGarrett blessed had three touchdowns in a game that Lewis knows game flow.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

What did you see, Jason?

[Jason Moore]

Well, the main thing I saw from that was game flow that Dion Lewis was the guy they started off using. They got him involved. His snap count was great. And in the passing game, when they are in this year, it looks like they are a passing game. Passing team, passing every down type of passing. Yeah. Yes, they are. They are passing in New England and Deion Lewis is that back. So he's going to be used. And what happened in the last game was just a game flow situation that allowed Legarette Blunt to get those three touchdowns. And so you. He came in later in the game. LeGarrett Blunt did and more had garbage time.

[Andy Holloway]

It seems like right now Lewis is Vereen plus. Yeah, he's getting early down. He's got some goal line that's enticing. He's also talk about that trait because I'd still consider something.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, so I'll Sean Jeffrey for Deion Lewis.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no.

[Mike Wright]

He has shown a propensity to fumble and he's gone back in somehow.

[Jason Moore]

But.

[Andy Holloway]

But that gets scary.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

You so and what three games, two fumbles and three games. My correcting. You are correct if he fumbles again.

[Andy Holloway]

I know.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

That's scary. Part of the reason I'm trying to get.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, let's switch gears here. Christian in Newport Beach, California, he has Chris Ivory. He wants to know if he should trade him for Antonio Brown.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

You say yeah very quickly now I want to talk about Ivory because if you take out his gooser, which is. I think you should take his gooser out if you want to know how good of a player he is. Because he didn't play. Right. Like if he had played and got zero. If you take that out, he is the number three running back in fantasy football right now.

[Mike Wright]

You mean giving him his average?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. If you just average the three games he's actually played in, he's number three in terms of points per game. That's just context. I'm not saying I wouldn't do the trade for Antonio Brown. Brown's got the Big Ben thing week seven, maybe.

[Jason Moore]

I get all that. One thing that makes my consideration very easy is the fact that he's on by this week. We just kind of talked about that. So if you Need a player. You're trading a guy who's, you know, not playing for one of the best wide receivers.

[Andy Holloway]

Brown will go on by, though.

[Jason Moore]

Sure. But you can prepare for that. I mean, this week we didn't even play.

[Mike Wright]

Did we talk about Big Ben? Sorry, I was looking at a hilarious text message. Okay. Did we mention that Big Ben is. There's talk of him being back week seven?

[Andy Holloway]

I mentioned it just now while you were on the text message.

[Mike Wright]

Sorry. Well, someone had offered my friend Mike Wallace for Todd Gurley.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh. Oh, what a steal.

[Jason Moore]

Wow.

[Mike Wright]

I had to send him a. Hahahaha.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Sorry.

[Andy Holloway]

Alrighty. So you wouldn't. You would do the deal because you like Antonio Brown more, or is it the buy thing?

[Jason Moore]

No, it's. No, it's definitely because I like Antonio Brown more. The buy factors in minutely, but I like Antonio Brown more for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons is because Chris Ivory is my favorite, like, preseason pick. I loved him coming in, but the knock on him has always been health. We've already seen him sit out of a game. And so if this is what I tell people, if Chris Ivory's playing, he's an RB one. But I have to say that every time I talk about Chris Ivory. I don't feel like I have to say that with Antonio Brown. I just say, you play Antonio Brown. It's not if he's playing. And so that's kind of one of those other considerations is the history going, you know, projecting forward.

[Andy Holloway]

I would take Antonio Brown too.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. And here's what you need to look at. Week one, if someone had offered, if you're the Ivory owner and someone had said, hey, I'll give you. I'll give you Antonio Brown for Chris Ivory, what would you have said?

[Andy Holloway]

Well, you would have said, yeah, immediately.

[Mike Wright]

Week two, what would you have said? Basically every week and before Big Ben got hurt.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

This trade is impossible. So I would make things change. Things change. But Big Ben will be back.

[Andy Holloway]

Yep.

[Mike Wright]

According to reports.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, let's just pretending Ivory's the number three guy rest of season. I would rather do the deal.

[Jason Moore]

No, I would rather have the number three running back versus let's say Antonio Brown finishes number three wide receiver. I would rather have the number three running back than I would the number three.

[Andy Holloway]

It's fun to talk about because this happens every year. We draft all these running backs in the beginning of the first round, and half of them end up there and half of them don't. And Ivory's the kind of guy that can Jump into that spot. There are other guys. Deion Lewis right now is in that spot. So Dave in Florida wants to know, who would you start this week between Alex Smith and Jay Cutler? Jay Cutler.

[Mike Wright]

We actually kind of just talked about this on yesterday's show.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, but more than just that, I was really going back and forth between these exact two guys who are in a matchup against each other as my start of the week. I was telling these two guys beforehand, man, I'm going back and forth, Alex Smith or Jay Cutler, who do I take? And here was the tiebreaker for me is that the Chicago Bears, as bad as they've been as far as giving up points, they have barely given up yards. They've gone. They've held three of their four opponents under 200 yards. And so I think Alex Smith is going to. I mean, he's not a huge yardage guy, so you're not going to get a ton of yards from him. So I went with Jay Cutler.

[Mike Wright]

This is just kind of off cuff. I want to test your Jeremy Macklin love. Oh, it's just a. Just a question, hypothetical question. Let's say you have an injured Alshon Jeffrey on your bench. Someone offers you Macklin for Jeffrey straight up. Would you take that?

[Andy Holloway]

No. Okay.

[Mike Wright]

I just wanted to see how far the rabbit hole went.

[Andy Holloway]

No, if Jeffrey keeps missing games, I'm going to wish I had, that's for sure. But no, not right now. That's a good. That's a good question. All right, Danielle in San Francisco has a question about TJ Yeldin. So I want to talk about TJ Elden today as well. She's been offered Brandon Cooks or Vincent Jackson for him straight up, which I think we all say. No.

[Mike Wright]

I would say I would consider Vincent Jackson, depending on team makeup, but generally in a vacuum, Cook, no.

[Andy Holloway]

Now, Yelden had his first hundred yard game of his career. He hasn't scored this season. What are your guys's thoughts on the Jaguar TJ Yelden, the workload monster? I think he's third in the league in carries. Right.

[Jason Moore]

That's the problem, is that it's. Is the team.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a problem.

[Jason Moore]

No, no, no.

[Andy Holloway]

The problem.

[Jason Moore]

Jaguar problem, because he's. He's on a team that's limiting his scoring potential, his offensive output. And so he reminds me a lot of Melvin Gordon in the sense that he's getting the work and he looks all right, but the touchdowns just don't seem to be there. So for me, that's how I feel about Yelden. That Being said, in a vacuum, I would rather have the running back who's getting work and slightly underperforming your hopes than the wide receivers who are doing the exact same thing. And those, I would say both Vincent Jackson and Cooks kind of fall into that category.

[Andy Holloway]

David Johnson is currently, at least in our league scoring format, which is slightly different. Half point ppr. David Johnson is where.

[Mike Wright]

He's still very high.

[Andy Holloway]

Where do you. He's a.

[Mike Wright]

He's a top 20 running back.

[Andy Holloway]

I was 14. Yeah, he's ahead. Here's who David Johnson's currently ahead of. Dion Lewis. I'm not going to say.

[Jason Moore]

Not on average.

[Andy Holloway]

Huh?

[Jason Moore]

Dion Lewis had a bike.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, you're right. No, I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry. Jeremy Hill, though. Doug Martin, Frank Gore, Justin Forset, Eddie Lacy, TJ Yeldin, all guys that played just kind of incredible to me. He's one of those David Johnson's like Geo, you know, or even less than where you hate. I personally, I hate starting running backs that are in those miscellaneous random timeshares where you don't know what they're going to get. But yeah, I'm just noting it because it's crazy. To me, he's really high touchdowns for.

[Jason Moore]

David Johnson's value to be there. The cool thing is he's been scoring.

[Andy Holloway]

What song did you sing when he fumbled opening kickoff, David?

[Mike Wright]

I went with hello Darkness.

[Andy Holloway]

My old friend Chris in San Francisco. My forte for his, Antonio Brown.

[Mike Wright]

That's. That's interest.

[Jason Moore]

That's, that's testing the water here because, you know, I see Chris Ivory.

[Mike Wright]

I was just gonna say who do you want, Ivory or Matt Forte?

[Jason Moore]

I would rather have Matt Forte than Chris Ivory.

[Mike Wright]

I think I'd rather have Ivory.

[Andy Holloway]

I'd rather have Forte.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. So.

[Andy Holloway]

Because Matt Forte doesn't come off the field for ball pal on third down.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, Matt Forte is the guy I would rather have. I would still rather have Antonio Brown. But this is completely team dependent because if you need a running back, which I would say more teams need a running back than they need a wide receiver, then, yeah, Forte.

[Andy Holloway]

All right. Bobby in Utah has a question about four set. He says should he trade him straight up for Julian Edelman? And so I bring this question up because I want you to speak to that trade and I want to talk about Julian Edelman. This is kind of a. I mean, we're a quarter of the way through the NFL season. I'm bringing up guys that I believe need to be discussed again from draft time. We didn't talk enough about Edelman. Edelman has been dominant.

[Mike Wright]

You said four set.

[Andy Holloway]

Four set. Four set for a straight up trade for Edelman.

[Mike Wright]

If this is a. If it's a PPR league, I would do it.

[Andy Holloway]

It is a standard league.

[Mike Wright]

Then I would not. I would keep four set.

[Jason Moore]

I would probably still go Edelman. Obviously, this is. Whenever you're talking running back, wide receiver, it's team needs, but Edelman is so incredibly involved. Check this out. What rank do you think Edelman is.

[Andy Holloway]

In targets in the league?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

The NFL.

[Jason Moore]

Not on average on total targets, having played only three games because they were on by.

[Andy Holloway]

I would say he's in the top five.

[Mike Wright]

We're counting.

[Jason Moore]

He's 10. He's. He's the 10th best despite missing a game. If you give him that fourth game on the same average, he's the clear cut number one guy. So, I mean, that's just.

[Andy Holloway]

I thought he was tied with Julio, and then Julio had more than him on week three.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, he might be behind. Well, and also, DeAndre Hopkins had 22 targets last.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my goodness.

[Jason Moore]

That kind of helps Skew. Hey, skew it.

[Andy Holloway]

I didn't. I didn't reap him. He was my number one there.

[Jason Moore]

Wow. No, I thought that standard.

[Mike Wright]

That's not fun to talk about.

[Jason Moore]

We only talk about your family.

[Mike Wright]

More fun when you kill guys.

[Andy Holloway]

I know. I just like being right every once in a while. Remember that YouTube guy? He doesn't like me. I wanted to know whatever.

[Mike Wright]

But I would do the. I would keep four set. The offensive line, maybe it was just against the Steelers, I don't know. But the line looked like they were getting it together in Baltimore, and that's what Forset really needs.

[Jason Moore]

All right, for clarification on targets here, he actually does beat Julio. Jones is ahead of Julio on targets at the pace he was on, however, behind the new number one, which is DeAndre Hopkins because of 22 targets.

[Andy Holloway]

Because Julio didn't have to play on Sunday. Yeah, probably. He was on a buy as well. He was on a half buy, thanks to the Devonta Freeman.

[Mike Wright]

So before. Before we get to our next question, we want to take a minute and thank our sponsor. Me undies.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah, check this out.

[Mike Wright]

Me undies. We all know how sexy confidence can be, and that confidence comes from being comfortable. But how great can you feel in your underwear if it's wrinkling and riding up? Meundies gets it. And that's why they've created the world's most comfortable under underwear. For a daily dose.

[Jason Moore]

I can speak to the truth listeners. Foot clan. Listeners, this is not a joke. We. I am wearing me undies right now and they are. I've never had anything like that on my body. I'm never gonna take them off.

[Mike Wright]

It's like sitting in a cloud.

[Andy Holloway]

Uh huh. Well, what are they made of?

[Mike Wright]

So they're made out of modal. Meundies is made out of modal a fabric that's twice as soft as cotton. Twice as soft?

[Jason Moore]

No way.

[Mike Wright]

That's twice as soft as when you're.

[Jason Moore]

It's 10 times as soft.

[Mike Wright]

It's twice as soft as what you're wearing right now. Unless you're wearing meundies like myself and Jason. Meundies has tons of colors and styles and the only place to get matching pairs for men and women. If you're into that, they either. They release a new design every month. I'm wearing camo. I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm wearing some sweet camos right now.

[Jason Moore]

I've got like a Beetlejuice pattern. That's what my wife says. She's like, hey, Beetlejuice.

[Mike Wright]

And we all know that paying for shipping sucks. So Meundy says remove that US and Canada ship for free. Meundies has a money back guarantee. If you don't like your pair, you get your money back. So this is what we need the Foot Clan to do. Go to meundies.com footballers get 20% off your first order. That's a special order or special offer just for our listeners. Meundies.com Footballers sit in a cloud.

[Andy Holloway]

I agree. I can't argue with that. I wore my tie dyes yesterday.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. And we'd also like to thank our sponsor FanDuel. They are so much fun to play. If you listened two weeks ago you had the tight end Barnage Love. If you listen last week you have Carson Palmer or I'm sorry, Sammy biscuits that I think we recommended. Fanduel is such a great place to play and make money. You pay for small leagues, small entry frees as cheap as a dollar and there are million dollar winners. Over $75 million are being paid out a week to play fantasy football. Fanduel is the leader.

Friday we will have our daily do segment talking about who to play on Fanduel. If you are listening to our show, you are smarter than the average Joe. So here's what you do.

[Andy Holloway]

What's our promo code?

[Jason Moore]

Ballers.

[Mike Wright]

Ballers.

[Andy Holloway]

All right. Wide receiver targets on the waivers. We talked through them yesterday. If you picked up these guys, what order do you put them in? Kmar. Aiken time. Montgomery, Tavon, Austin.

[Jason Moore]

I go. I probably like Austin the most of this group, but if I need a start. Oh, if it's for this week, if I need a start, it's got to be Aiken. To me.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I think it's. It's between Aiken and Austin for me. And the Rams play the packers, and the packers defense has actually been pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty stuff. I'm gonna go with Aiken.

[Andy Holloway]

I agree. I'd go Aiken, Austin, Montgomery. I don't think Devonte Adams will play this week, but he is questionable and they're going to. The last report said evaluate him week to week, which is not the same as day to day and not so good.

[Mike Wright]

That's code for he's. He ain't going to play this week.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I agree with that one. So what are your thoughts on Adams when he returns?

[Mike Wright]

I still like him. I think he's going to get plugged back in. I don't. I don't think Jones will hold on to that. Number two. He'll go back to what he's doing, which is scoring a touchdown basically every single game, but only drawing a few targets.

[Andy Holloway]

It's been a really disappointing start to the year for Adams.

[Mike Wright]

Well, getting hurt will do that, but.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, he was lackluster before that.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, he hasn't been producing, but the targets have been there. And Rogers, just over the off season, Rogers, that was the guy he was talking about. And I just. I believe that that's. I don't know if I completely buy into the talent, but the opportunity is there. And if the packers actually do like him, like they say, then I'm still buying it.

[Andy Holloway]

All right. The Commissioner's Fist. That's what his name is. The Commissioner's Fist.

[Mike Wright]

Look out.

[Andy Holloway]

Eddie Lacy. Is that you? Pick one tight end and flex. Larry Donnell, Julius Thomas, Eddie Royal, or Golden Tate.

[Jason Moore]

So this has to be assuming that Julius Thomas is going to play, right?

[Andy Holloway]

I would assume that because otherwise I.

[Jason Moore]

Would pick Dunnell every time.

[Andy Holloway]

Right, right. Yeah. And that's the kind of insight and information we count on you for.

[Jason Moore]

Jason, you are welcome.

[Andy Holloway]

You know, he's probably going to be cleared. You'll want to check right now depending on when we recorded this show to what time you're listening to it. But he's meeting with doctors this week and he's supposed to be cleared for full practice, so he'd get three practices before, you know, he plays the Buccaneers.

[Jason Moore]

Have a. Have a decent defense. So I would probably go with Donell. Not knowing how you're going to use Julius Thomas, it's tough to just have a guy coming back off an injury on a new team that you've never seen before and roll him out. So the only reason to start Julius Thomas is if you are just playing for excitement and excitement only and you just want to watch and see what happens with, you know, you know, a horse in the race or maybe on like a fanduel if you're going one of those big tournament style things. Not a lot of people going to be.

[Andy Holloway]

I would.

[Mike Wright]

I'd go with the Nell or Donnell and Royal.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. Nick and Lafayette, Louisiana. Hey, guys. They need to start two of these three running backs. Todd Gurley, Arian Foster, Latavius Murray.

[Jason Moore]

Ooh, Good off.

[Andy Holloway]

Full point ppr.

[Jason Moore]

Oof. So you got to win.

[Andy Holloway]

He needs a big win.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, all right. Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

If he needed a loss, who would he.

[Mike Wright]

No, that's. Well, I'm glad you said that because that changes everything.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Normally we don't care about winning your matchup, so you got Gurley going up against the Packers. Man, I liked Gurley last week, but it's hard to sit Latavius Murray. Latavius Murray up against the Broncos. That makes it far easier to sit Foster.

[Andy Holloway]

Gurley.

[Jason Moore]

Yep.

[Andy Holloway]

So Foster was the luck for both of you.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Should I trade Alshon Jeffrey? This is me.

[Jason Moore]

No, Andy. Yes. Trade me Alshon Jeffrey for Dion Lewis. Do it on the air. Make a deal.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm not doing that. First of all, be a chicken fry. If you really wanted. If you really wanted a deal, you wouldn't come to me on the air with a different deal than the ones that you sent. You're sending me a weaker deal on the air, which means I'm going to reject every deal you send me.

[Jason Moore]

Sammy Watkins and Dion Lewis Max in Seattle.

[Andy Holloway]

Should I trade Alshon Jeffrey for Devonte Freeman?

[Jason Moore]

Alshon Jeffrey.

[Mike Wright]

No, I would Freeman you. I would keep Jeffrey.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, me too.

[Mike Wright]

No, now I already gave him an apology.

[Andy Holloway]

That's just the music I associate with Devontae Freeman. Now that was a great clip. That was on Twitter yesterday. Alex in East Lansing. By the way, you can follow us on Twitter @ the FF Ballers. I don't think I said that at the beginning of the show.

[Mike Wright]

And by the way, if Coleman comes back and tears up, I will immediately turn on devonte free.

[Andy Holloway]

You will sell on great, Alex. And East Lansing needs to start two and bench one.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, for set.

[Andy Holloway]

Jeremy Hill. Joseph Randall.

[Jason Moore]

I'm benching Jeremy Hill.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I think I'm going to bench Hill against the Seahawks. Unless you get a game similar to last week where he's kind of gifted some touchdowns.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's the only way. He only got nine carries last week and really it should have been eight carries and two touchdowns because that GEO touchdown I did.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that play calling was weird, man. With Geo with nine carries and or Geo had 11 carries and Hill had nine.

[Andy Holloway]

That's just even in a game in their head the whole time. That's one piece of news we didn't mention on yesterday's show that broke was the fact that Boom Heron was signed by the Bills. And so keep that in mind with the situation with Carlos Williams.

[Mike Wright]

He's just going to be there to be an emergency back.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, but people, you know the Trent Richardson love all the love out there. His mom, his aunt, his old high school coach, the list goes on.

[Mike Wright]

Does Nick Saban still believe in Trent Richardson?

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know. Who called him the worst running back in the history of the NFL?

[Jason Moore]

I did. Sorry, you mean someone else?

[Andy Holloway]

No, I mean like a. Like an. A professional ex running back said that on the air. On espn. Called him the worst recently. Yes. Call him the worst running. I'm going to effort this. You guys keep talking. Worst running back in the history.

[Jason Moore]

All right, so who.

[Mike Wright]

Sorry, what? Do we have a question?

[Jason Moore]

Well, who's.

[Mike Wright]

I've lost track.

[Jason Moore]

Here's the question now, Mike. Who's the worst running back in the history of the NFL?

[Andy Holloway]

Former.

[Mike Wright]

That's impossible.

[Andy Holloway]

Former NFL player Ryan Clark said that.

[Jason Moore]

Ryan Clark.

[Mike Wright]

He just wants to be in the news.

[Andy Holloway]

Who?

[Jason Moore]

Remind me who? Ryan Clark.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I was gonna say remind Jason who a defensive player is. Yeah. Come on, Come on now. All right, next question. Qb start. Sick question from David in Cleveland. He's got Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, Philip Rivers.

[Jason Moore]

Rivers. A great matchup.

[Mike Wright]

Rivers against the Steelers.

[Andy Holloway]

Oakland though.

[Mike Wright]

I know, but Philip Rivers. Antonio Gates is back. Philip Rivers at home against the Steelers.

[Jason Moore]

I Don't know.

[Andy Holloway]

I am going.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Jason Moore]

Water bet.

[Andy Holloway]

Bounce back week for Peyton Manning.

[Mike Wright]

That's fine.

[Jason Moore]

That's a water bet between you guys.

[Andy Holloway]

By the way, I love Philip Rivers, but I think Peyton will outscore him.

[Jason Moore]

I'm not hopping in on this, but I will say this. Looking these two matchups over and what I think is going to happen with Owen Daniels, I'm going to say Peyton Manning as well.

[Andy Holloway]

That's fine. That is. Thanks for, you know, you had the chance to get in on it with me.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, I don't.

[Andy Holloway]

Which would have been one of the first times you're ever with a deal with me. It's like the table separates us so you can't ever join. It's like you're sitting next to him.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Both wearing me undies.

[Jason Moore]

I'll say. What?

[Mike Wright]

That's true.

[Jason Moore]

That's true.

[Andy Holloway]

You know, trust me, I wore me undies all week. I just ran out and I didn't wear them.

[Jason Moore]

You know, you should have got the 365 pack. They have it.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, you know, I'm waiting for that.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Still waiting for it to arrive. Brian as well as my. Nevermind. Brian. In Mississippi. Should I trade Randall Cobb and Doug Martin for Julio Jones?

[Jason Moore]

Randall Cobb.

[Mike Wright]

I would do it.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I would do that.

[Mike Wright]

I would do it.

[Andy Holloway]

Jason, the only Cobb owner in the room here. Hesitating.

[Mike Wright]

All right, Owner.

[Andy Holloway]

Because our bias, I don't know. Coming into play heavily.

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

[Mike Wright]

No, no, no.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, so let me just explain what my brain is going through. Right, so you had a really good week out of Doug Martin. You have a little bit of depth for, you know, future bye weeks for injuries, things like that. And you're upgrading, right? You're saying you're upgrading from Randall Cobb to Julio Jones?

[Andy Holloway]

Without question.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, so is how big, how important of an upgrade is that to lose, you know, a very potential flex? So you think the difference between Cobb and Julio is going to be large from here on out?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

The difference right now in leasing our spot.

[Andy Holloway]

Did you not think that about Antonio Brown and Randall Cobb? Because I mean, Julio is the number one guy right now.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, no, I see Randall maybe I just see Randall Cobb higher than you guys. And that's all the, the differences. What is the difference in them right.

[Mike Wright]

Now so far on the year in our league scoring? They are about 27 points difference after Julio Jones played basically one quarter.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. And you know, we talked about it last week. Julio's on pace for 181 receptions. He was on pace for you know, he has a little bit. They both have injury risk but just from a pure. I mean Cobb's a slot receiver. He's going to have his games where he scores some touchdowns. You're going to get devonte Adams back. You're going to, to get. I just think Julio difference is significant. All right, what kind of trade value do you guys think Thomas Rawls has?

[Mike Wright]

None.

[Andy Holloway]

If he's starting next week.

[Jason Moore]

Trade.

[Andy Holloway]

If we found out he's starting next week. Yeah. Would you.

[Jason Moore]

He has plenty of trade value to the Marshawn lynch owner. I mean if you own Marshawn lynch, you really want Slash probably need Thomas Rawls and so that, that's generally the team. I always, when I've got a handcuff or a backup that's starting and I'm looking to make a trade, I'm always going to be going to the handcuffs. Owner first and foremost because they'll pay the most for them.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I just, it may be. I just think he has very little value moving forward at least right now.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, Mike, why don't you tell the people a little bit about jointhefoot.com Ah yes.
