Episode Overview

The FantasyPros crew dove into the biggest storylines, trade/waiver advice, and fact-or-fiction debates for fantasy football heading into Week 7. Audience questions on Twitch drove much of the discussion, covering everything from Lad McConkey’s outlook, running back battles (Rico Dowdle, Kamani Vidal), and Justin Fields’ future, to hot debates about weekly "sell-high," redemption narratives, and who can win your league off the wire. The hosts delivered strong takes in their trademark irreverent, banter-heavy style.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lad McConkey: Hold, Sell, or Buy?

• Debate: Is Lad McConkey “back” or a sell-high candidate?
• Joe (03:29): “If you bought low on Lad McConkey, you’re in good shape ... if you have him, I’m holding. I’m not selling.”
• Welsh (03:43): “I’m open to a sell. Quentin Johnston was out, and the way Lad popped was that huge play at the end ... If you can get the original cost for Lad, I’m moving out.”
• Bogman (05:22): “I’m at least floating him ... If I can get the value I paid for him in the draft, I’m doing that deal. But I don’t think there’s going to be many deals offering that.”

Key Takeaway:

The consensus is “float him” to see if you can get early-season value—especially while he’s featured—but don’t sell low.

2. Running Back Rooms: Rashad White, Bucky Irving, and Rico Dowdle

Rashad White vs. Bucky Irving (07:25)

• Bogman: “It’s going to be mainly Bucky ... You’ll get easing-in, maybe a 60/40 the first week, but then back to 70/30. These backups can’t take that guy off the field if he’s healthy.”

Rico Dowdle & Chuba Hubbard (08:21–11:20)

• Welsh: “He looks amazing, way more efficient than Chuba Hubbard ... 200-plus total yards in two straight games ... I think this is going to be a full-blown Ken Walker/Charbonnet situation.”
• Bogman: “Cowboys did not utilize him the last couple of years nearly as much as they should have ... Now, Carolina is using him the right way.”

League Winner?

• Bogman (11:09): “He could be.”
• Welsh: “Impossible if Chuba exists ... otherwise, maybe!”

Memorable Stat

Bogman (11:16): “First UDFA to have back-to-back 200 yard scrimmage games since 1970.”

---

3. Justin Fields: Buy or Jump Ship? (12:09–16:41)

• Joe: “He’s playing the Carolina Panthers this week. I would buy him everywhere in superflex.”
• Welsh: “No chance I’d go buy him for one week ... Fields is not startable, not a top-15 QB. I want consistency, not someone I only start in good matchups.”
• Bogman (15:03): “Bo Nix. I know Bo Nix is keeping his job. ... Justin Fields might be on the trade market in a week. Would not be shocked.”
• Classic analogy:
  • Bogman (16:46): “If a rollercoaster only killed one person this month, are you gonna get on that rollercoaster? That’s what Justin Fields is. He’s a suicide rollercoaster right now.”

Key Insight

Fields is high risk, high reward. If you can get him at low cost in superflex, consider it, but don’t overpay—his floor is “empty lineup spot” bad.

---

4. Joe Flacco’s Impact on Bengals Weapons (17:02–18:43)

• Joe: “He’s got five days to prepare, new offense, new personnel. ... This is an opportunity for folks to buy low on Higgins and Chase.”
• Bogman: “I’m holding them. Joe Flacco ... gets the ball out fast. 12 targets for Jamar Chase. Once Flacco settles in, I’m up for keeping your Bengals right now.”
• Welsh: “Flacco was looking to Chase on 44% of first reads. If Chase isn’t top 5–8 WR in value, buy hard.”

---

5. Chargers’ Backfield: Kamani Vidal or Hassan Haskins? (19:57–24:22)

• Welsh: “Vidal had a 63% snap share, 51% routes run, 18 of 24 RB carries, 72% red zone snaps ... For now, Vidal is flex-worthy, but Mike Evans’ injury dings that trade.”
• Bogman: “Vidal is a little pinball ... Haskins is a special teamer.”

---

6. Weekly Takeaways & Memorable Moments

• Bogman (24:41): “Joe Flacco breathed life back into the Bengals offense.”
• Victory Lap: “Cam Scattebo’s third touchdown was my moment of week six.”
• Joe: “My big takeaway: Baker Mayfield is going to be MVP ... you could feel the narrative growing.”
• Welsh: “Brian Branch just absolutely dropping JuJu ... to end our Sunday night, that one stood out.”

---

Fact or Fiction – Lightning Round [29:11–38:23]

Audience Fact or Fiction segment, with rapid-fire takes:

• Aaron Glenn makes it through the season?
  • Bogman: “Fiction—he ain’t making it. They’ll be 0–8 and he’s canned.” (30:16)
• Mahomes QB1 rest of season?
  • Welsh: “Fact: A QB1, but not the QB1. Rashee Rice is back; they should be slinging it.”
• Drop all KC RBs?
  • Bogman: “Until they trade for Breece Hall … drop them all.”
• Mac Jones a starter elsewhere next year?
  • Bogman: “Yeah, he could be Mason Rudolph somewhere.”
• Rico Dowdle a sell-high?
  • Bogman: “If you can get something, yes, but no one’s offering much. So, float him, but he’s better as a plug-and-play.”
• McBride better with Brissett or Kyler Murray?
  • Welsh: “Kyler is still the better option, but neither’s great.”
• Best duo: Dart & Scattebo?
  • Group: “Most fun, but not the ‘best’—just a good story after one week.”
• Rome Odunze vs. Rashee Rice ROS?
  • Split: Welsh for Rice, Bogman for Odunze, Joe breaks tie for Rice (“I like Rice with Mahomes rest of season”).
• Baker Mayfield a ‘redemption story’?
  • Group: “Fact—he was just stuck in Cleveland.”

---

Waiver Wire & Trade Advice Highlights

• Vidal vs. Haskins (21:05): Vidal is the answer for now, but has a ticking clock until the bye and until Hampton returns. Worth short-term flex play.
• Sell-high Candidates:
  • Lad McConkey if you can get pre-season draft price.
  • Rico Dowdle only if you get meaningful value—otherwise, a strong hold.
• Buy-low Candidates:
  • Joe Flacco brings life to Bengals’ pass-catchers (Chase/Higgins—buy if fantasy managers are panicky).
  • Justin Fields in superflex if cost is minimal; otherwise, avoid the risk.

---

[A]

Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is out of bounds. It is me, Joey P. Joe P is up here with my two best friends, Scott Bogman and the Welsh. It's great talking football with all of you here on our Twitch Twitch TV Fantasy Pros, that's the place to be. Why? Well, because it's live and it's easy to get a hold of us. But this is the show that you are basically running now. We've given up the reigns to the people. We are the people's program. So you we play a little fact or fiction from your questions. We have a little questions with asses here and we're the asses who answer the questions. We play a little 311 and we have a good time.

The best place for all things autographed with when it comes to all sports. And Bogman, I want to address something here at the top of the show because last week you were not on the show and I want you to answer these two questions for me in succession, please, if you will. Number one, at some point in your life you did do delivery work as a job, correct?

[C]

Yes, correct.

[A]

Okay, question number two. Did Mark Sanchez stab you last week?

[C]

Look, I'm not allowed to talk about ongoing proceedings in my life, Joe, so I don't want to jeopardize any potential financial compensation that I may be having coming my way. So, you know, all you need to know is that I wasn't here last week. I have since recovered and now I'm here. So.

[A]

Okay, that's all I need to know. You guys are dicey Welsh by the way, speaking of stabbing, how does that feel to get Baker Mayfield? Just take it and put it right in your heart. Jesus, on Sunday, you're tired today.

[C]

We all went to the black shirt store today, too. This feels like a funeral.

[A]

I'm wearing my shirt today because my Baker Mayfield MVP odds went from +950 that I bet on Friday.

[C]

I'm wearing Welsh's favorite shirt that I own to make him. To help him cheer up a little bit.

[D]

Yeah, I hope you lose all the money that you have, Joe. Like, I hope you put it all on Baker. You have fun putting it on the Bucks. Have fun next week. And the 49ers are a shell of who they are. They got no Bucky, they got no Godo, and no Igbuka next week. But, yeah, you be happy about your plus 900, Baker.

[A]

All right, so here we go, everybody. We're gonna do a little questions here with my boy. So if you've got questions, drop them here in the chat over on Twitch. Again, if you're watching back on our YouTube channel, make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel. We're trying to get to 300, 000 this year. We could do it with your help. And we got plenty giveaways going on there, too. So drop your comments. Subscribe. Like the video, too. It's little things, but it's very important. And again, we're gonna take some of the questions. While these questions are filtering in, I want to talk about something here which is actually brought up in one of these questions, which is hold or sell Lad from Worth Lake. And one of my questions here at the top of the show was actually, is lad McConkey back? Welsh, certainly last two weeks would seem like that worm is starting to turn. And if you bought low on lad McConkey, you're in good shape. And if you have them, I'm holding them. I'm not selling them. How about you?

[D]

I'm open to a sell. I mean, you're having the big celebration, but Quentin Johnson was out. Like, Lad is good. Lad does the stuff. I was going to go pull up some of the. The percentages from this past week, but, like, you do have to keep in mind, like, the way he popped off twofold was that huge play at the end, and Quentin Johnston was not there. So, like, if you think Lad is back to being a, you know, top 15 wide receiver, he's going to go, you know, five, six, seven catches, whatever it's going to be every single week. I think it. I think then you're going to hold. But if you don't believe that like I do, I think I'm going to move off of him because, you know, he was 6 for 57. I had actually bet his receiving yard prop, so I was very dialed into it until that very last huge big play. But not having Quentin Johnson was huge in this game. So I tend to think if the selling point can be top 15 original cost of lad, I'm moving on out because Quentin Johnson will get back. Keenan Allen is still a force. I don't buy that. It's old Lad of old. Nope.

[A]

All right, well, let's, let's see if I can sell Scott Bogman on the whole Lad situation here because Quinn Johnson had a couple good weeks. Still pretty touchdown dependent in a lot of ways. You have Keenan Allen, who is an older wide receiver, and you saw the emergence of Lad as being kind of the number one guy. Could have just been a slow start and maybe teams just game planning a little bit and now they've just figured out how to get him back in that mix a little bit better. And certainly some of the matchups have helped as well. So what are your thoughts on lad McConkey? Are you somebody that's selling them off these last two weeks or are holding him hoping that he is regaining the value that he had coming into draft season?

[C]

I'm at least floating him right. Like I at least put him out on the block. I don't. That doesn't mean I'm definitely going to trade him, but I'm. I'm with Welsh. Like if I can get the original value for lad McConkey back, I'm doing that right. Because he's not going to. I don't think he's going to get there from what he was last year. Because you have qj because you have Keenan Allen. Now look, Amari and Hampton going down helps the pass game because that's going to take touches away from the backfield and give them to all these pass catchers. So I do think Ladd can turn it around. But if you can get what you paid for him in the draft, I think I'm doing that deal. I just don't think there's going to be many deals that offer you that. So he's kind of one of those guys right now where if you're having you have four good wide receivers, he's a guy that can flex or is on your bench and you need that running back spot, then you see what you can get for him. I put two wide Receivers on the block, see which one gives you more. And if it's Lad, then trade him and take what you need.

[D]

Who would you rather have, rest of season, Lad or Quentin Johnston?

[A]

It's not for me.

[C]

I would rather have Lad right now because he's not hurt. Right. And you know, guys can aggravate something and it can get re aggravated for the rest of the year. So give me Lad right now.

[A]

Yeah, all right. There you go. Two for Lad. A shout out, by the way, to Six Claws who just subbed with their prime. Yeah, that's how you do with six claws. Let's go to Tito. Tito has a question here. Cheering some bits here. Do you think White will have a bigger role once Bucky comes back? Now that's an interesting question here because Rashad White has been solid here, taking over the stead here for the injured Bucky Irving. Interesting schedule coming up here too, because we've got the Lions and I want to say they play the Saints, Tampa Bay. After that I got to look at that schedule again and then they go on the buy. So this could be a weird limited time here where maybe if IG Buka's hamstring is bothering him, he that he does take a couple weeks off. You hope you're getting Mike Evans back, but again, Bucky might not be around for a couple of weeks when he returns. Bogman, do you think Bucky just takes over everything again or does White's role grow a little bit based on what he's done these last few weeks?

[C]

No, it's going to be mainly Bucky. I do think you'll get like the easing Bucky in when he comes back, like, you know, a 60, 40 week one, but then it's going to go to 70, 30. I mean, look, the idea of using two backs is very nice, but when you have a back as good as Christian McCaffrey, as good as Bucky, as good as Breeze hall, as good as Jonathan, you know what I mean? These backups just, you know, you can't take that guy off the field if he's healthy. So I, I, I think Rashad White is better than a Jag, but he's nowhere close to Bucky. So when Bucky comes back, it's the Bucky time.

[A]

Well, here's another one too. What are we thinking about Dowdle when Hubbard comes back? Welsh Rico Dowdle put together some pretty intriguing games the last two weeks, there's no doubt about that. The revenge narrative too, on the Dallas Cowboys, which again, this one kind of you're an undrafted free agent. The Cowboys gave you a career. Like really, they kind of helped you. I feel like, I mean, running backs come and go in this league personally.

[D]

Yeah, completely.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I, I, why, why do you completely disagree?

[D]

Welsh, that was his team. Like, what are you talking? Like you're like this, you're, you're downplaying the revenge narrative. This is the team that had him. They didn't extend him a contract. They went, they needed a running back. They went elsewhere to get a running back. Those are all the p. Doesn't matter where you drafted. Like, this is a team that had you, didn't believe in you, let you go, got another washed up running back who they've turned into being good. And you know, he's like pissy about it. Like, I totally understand that. And he looks amazing, by the way. He looks way more efficient than Chuba Hubbard. Rashad White's not taking anything from Bucky. There's a legitimate conversation that Rico has got to be involved because it's not just like, you know, just this little fluidy thing like, oh, it's like one game. It's 200 plus total yards in two straight games. He's hitting holes. He's getting like five yards per carry. He's catching out of the bucket of 50 yards receiving in this game. Like, I think they're gonna split series. I think they're gonna split long drives. I, I think this is going to go into a full blown like Ken Walker slash Charbonnet situation. So I, I definitely think Rico has put himself into fantasy relevance. The only problem is, is like you don't want that. You want one of these guys to go away. That's the way that this becomes a super awesome situation. But the other funny thing is I think Rico is exponentially and he's shown it more efficient without Chuba than Chuba would be without Rico. So that would be the reason why I would love to have Rico doubt to be the guy but revenge narrative. I think I said it on the prop show. Joe, do you remember what I said at the end of the show? I said bet Rico something. That was my quote. We didn't have that. We didn't have no props because of Chuba. I said bet something on Rico and guess what? All the, anything.

[C]

He led in rushing, he led in receiving. He scored a touchdown. Like the, the dude literally had everything. This job is, is different, right? Because, and the reason I think I disagree with the the Cowboys thing, like, and I, and I understand your take, Joe is like, hey, look, they gave this guy, everything sure wasn't like big.

[A]

Draft stock guy and they.

[C]

But he was underutilized last year. He proved himself against the Steelers. By the way. He caught a bunch of passes. He was great. He's the reason they beat Pittsburgh and then they just went away from this dude. Right. So they didn't utilize him the last couple of years nearly as much as they should have. And now he's being used in Carolina the right way. And maybe this is just, you know, Carolina and the way that they rebuilt this offensive line and whatever back is behind this line is going to be able to move the ball. So I think Rico's really good, but I don't know if this is just him. I think it's also, you know, big part of this Carolina offense right now.

[A]

All right, so it's only been two games. Is Rico Dowdle going to be a league winner this year? The way things are going box.

[C]

He could be.

[D]

It's impossible.

[C]

It definitely can be.

[D]

Yeah. If Chuba exists, it's impossible to say that.

[C]

I saw an NFL network they said that he is the first udfa to have 200 scrimmage yard, two back to back 200 scrimmage yards since 1970.

[A]

Wow. So it just.

[C]

And Aran Foster was a UDFA with a bunch of yards. He never did 202.

[A]

Funny because they signed Chuba Hubbard to that contract last year too. And I think a lot of us like, oh, wow, that was interesting. Nobody kind of saw that coming, but he had a very good year.

[C]

Cardinals did the same thing with James Connor. And then, you know, yeah, Trey. And they just drafted Trey Benson.

[A]

So going to be real tough there. Also the stat of the weekend too was that there's only three guys before their age 23 season that had three straight games of 200 yards passing. And on top of that 100 plus quarterback rating, those guys were Dan Marino, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. And now it's also Drake May. Another fantastic performance from Drake May.

[C]

He was.

[A]

That is some serious company to talk about. Like it talk about that young of an age having those kind of games. Now Dan Marino's is the most impressive because it was in 1983 or whatever or 84, whatever year that was. But like that, that's an era where passing was so difficult. But still that's something to consider here. What we're seeing in that emergence of Drake May. But not every quarterback had a great weekend. Justin Fields got sacked nine times here. And I want to talk about this. These nuts has a question here about Justin Fields. What do you do with Justin Fields? Well here you go, Dees. He's playing the Carolina Panthers this week. I would buy him everywhere in super flex. I'm sure somebody's super frustrated. 45 yards.

[D]

Buy him. You go trade Justin Fields.

[A]

Yeah. Against Carolina this week. Absolutely. Well how many times do we see a team look terrible, awful and then next week, whatever, it's fine.

[C]

Look, I know Michael Penn was very good against Carolina.

[A]

Did he?

[C]

So he did not.

[A]

But then he bounced back the next week. What I'm saying is this is also. Look the Carolina Panthers also on the road and at home have been two different teams too. If you go check the stat lines on that. I'm just saying like this is the time where you would trade. I know it's scary but that's the.

[D]

Whole point of a buy low.

[A]

Why do you disagree? Yeah, that's out on the Jets.

[D]

No, no, no. Like Justin Fields in situations is fine. There's no chance I will go buy him because of one week. How bad does he look? He is so inconsistent. Like he would he have 17 passing yards at the half in the first half if they're against a rough team. Fields is out. Fields is not startable. He's not a top 15 quarterback. If there's a good sure Justin Fields is going to eat this week. There's no chance I'm going to buy on a quarterback that I can't week in and week out trust starting outside of these certain situations now maybe you could get him for absolutely nothing and maybe that's your point that in the super flex I don't think that's the.

[A]

Case though he's QB13 in points per game this year. I know it's ugly but he's not getting replaced and it's. He's going to have the job and I again ugly. I get it Let this was the worst of the worst. So I understand the concern about trading for him but you also can't deny when you're the 13th overall quarterback that's a tremendous value in super flex leagues especially the quarterback position's gone this year.

[D]

I mean I guess to your point like because he maybe he could be had at such a low cost. I just don't think it's going to be that low. And I would rather go trade for like everybody else. I'd rather go get anybody else that can be consistent. I just don't, I don't like Fields and it's like hey there's eight matchups. I can really play him in three and then the others, I got to think about maybe playing Spencer Rattler. Like he can be an absolute nothing burger. It's just not the type of guy I would go and trade for.

[A]

All right. Well, he has finished as a QB one three times this year. This week he was QB 26. So Welsh, here's my other question for you. Right. 45. I get it. It was, it was gross. It was absolutely gross. I totally understand. The other game he got hurt in week two so we can't really count that. Bogman, would you rather have Bo Nix or Justin Fields rest of season?

[C]

Oh God. Bo Nix. I know. Bo Nix is keeping his job. Right. That's the main thing. Like Aaron Glenn could get fired. They could just, you know, hit the reset button. I don't like Justin Fields might be on the trade market in a week. I would not be shocked. This whole thing can be burned down to the. To the frame pretty quickly. I mean the jets fans are out for blood. This team is not winning any games.

[D]

Yeah. And Glenn is not going to be the first coach fired. But we, you know, we. Because we already have another. But it could be soon. I guess my pushback for you is that you just said you're like buying a super flex. Quarterbacks are not cheap in super flex. So even whatever. And that's going to be. He's going to be pricey. Someone's going to be like okay, I'll trade you my Fields but it's going to cost, you know, lad McConkey or it's going to cost RV2 and it's just like that's not the guy. Like okay. Awesome Dev said. Would Fields for Bryce T. Law be worth it? Awesome Dev said. It's a question recently. I'm not sure. Does he mean both? Like to trade Bryce or T. Law?

[A]

Is it one of the two of them?

[D]

I'd rather have Trevor Lawrence than Fields.

[C]

Me too.

[A]

I can understand wanting Trevor Lawrence. I understand the safety and they got.

[C]

To start running him more. They didn't run him this week and they lost again.

[A]

Run.

[C]

I understand that long hair hippie. Let him go.

[A]

Let's go. I agree. I agree.

[C]

My brother. My. My brother in the long hair. Let's go. Let those flow, babe.

[A]

As the jets are again next two weeks, Carolina and Cincinnati. I'm just saying like if somebody has is going to overreact to a London game where God knows weird things happen again. He's been a fantasy QB one three of the four starts that he's had this year. I just.

[D]

How low are the other ones.

[A]

Well, one, he got hurt, so that I'm not going to count that one. And the other one was yesterday.

[C]

If a roller coaster only killed one person this month, kill one person a year and everybody. Are you going to get on that roller coaster? I'm not getting on it. That's what Justin Fields is. He's a suicide roller coaster right now. I ain't right. I ain't buying that ticket. No. Thank you.

[A]

Let's talk about. Not Gusto's question here, because I want to talk about Joe Flacco's performance. So high or hold Jamar Chase? I'm holding Chase. Yeah, personally, guys, that's definitely. I mean, Joe Flacco walked into a scenario, bugs, where he's got basically, what, five days to prepare in a new offense with new personnel and new verbiage and all these things, and people don't realize how difficult that is now, in some ways, it was lucky that he was playing the packers because that is a team that he's already studied and. And prepared for just a couple weeks ago. So I get that. But it's still the packers, they're still good. It's still a road start. I thought, all things being considered, I. I feel like, and I said it on the TV show on Sunday, too, that T. Higgins would be one of my big targets to buy low on, because I just feel like this is an opportunity where people have lost their minds about the Cincinnati Bengals with good reason. And here's Joe Flacco walking it down. All of a sudden, Joe Flacco resuscitating Chase and Higgins a little bit. So I think their holds or trade force. What do you think? Box?

[C]

Yeah, I'm. I'm holding them. I think that, you know, Joe Flacco, he's just gonna. He's gonna be able to make this offense move the ball a little bit. He gets the ball out fast. We saw 12 targets for Jamar Chase. He made Chase and Higgins viable. Kissicki, one of their better targets, just went down for an extended period of time as well. The run game hasn't got going yet, but I do think Chase Brown can get better as soon as Joe Flacco kind of learns the cadence and knows how to move him around and use him. And so I'm. I'm up for keeping your Bengals right now because the defense still sucks. They're still going to have to play from behind. They're going to have to win games and shootouts and playing shootouts, and Flacco is going to be able to sling it. So yeah, I'm keeping them.

[D]

I got stats for you. These are two great ones. And why Chase is such a good buy under Joe Flacco. He had a 53.3% air yard share and he had a 44% first read percentage from Joe Flacco. 45 flatco. Was looking towards Chase at every single moment. 44.4%. I absolutely love that if Chase is not being seen as a top five eight wide receiver, still, he's just like a smashing buy. Still a buy. But you know, if people want like cost return, that's a little dicey.

[A]

Shout out to everybody who is subbing and resubbing with prime too. Get rid of those nasty commercials. If you're watching us on the Twitch, we're here every single day on Twitch too. I want to get one more question in here, Welsh to you because it has to do with the waiver wire pickup of the week. Should I trade Vidal for Evans? Oh, sorry. And Evans for Devonte Adams and Sam Laporta. What do you make of this trade? What side you want to be on? I don't think you could pull that deal off. I'm not trading you Adams and Laporta for Kamani Vidal and Mike Evans. But I want you to talk about this deal, Welsh and then talk about what we saw with the Chargers backfield and whether or not you're buying it based on the fact that it was against the Miami Dolphins and at some point we still know the Chargers are kicking the tires all over the league on other running backs.

[D]

I'm just warning you, you did it again for the third straight week. You have a great. This is my takeaway. I don't know if you looked at the sheet at all. So if you wanted me to do my takeaway, don't go.

[A]

We just did mine.

[D]

Yeah, you kill our takeaways in this segment every single time. So don't ask us.

[A]

Not really me. This is all right.

[D]

You didn't look at the sheet.

[A]

You know what, Welsh, Welsh, how about this? Why don't you give us your takeaway from week six, Joe?

[D]

What a great transition from that question too. Because my takeaway for week six has to do with Kamani Vidal. First off, I'm not doing that trade. I'm. I want the Devonte, Adams and laporta side but Vidal is the answer completely wrong. Me and Fitzy are out there on Sunday being like, oh, it's a son. Haskins and everybody like Haskins because it did not look like it was going to go To Vidal. They had to bring him off the practice squad. Completely wrong. Haskins had a couple nice pass blocks, but Vidal had a 63% SNAP share. 51% of routes run. 18 of 24 running back rushes went to him. Jeremy Gibbs had put some of these stats out on Twitter from cbs and in the red zone, he had an even higher usage. That's where I thought Haskins would have been used. In the red zone.

[A]

Nope.

[D]

72% snap share for Vidal. Six of seven rushes came in that spot and he had two red zone receptions. But that was the answer. He's the guy there now. Am I in love? I don't know if I'm in love. Maybe that trade looks a little bit better, but you got an injured Mike Evans. Vidal is. You know, there's still some question marks when, when Hampton ends up coming back, but for the short term, the answer, it's in our face. It is Vidal. It was not Hassan Haskins. Big old wrong hundred plus total yards and he looks pretty good. So I think he's going to be kind of a safe start in a team that wants to run the ball. I don't know. You know, with the offensive line, worries how efficient they're going to be week in and week out, but Vidal looks like he is going to be like a flexi starter. But coming back to your question, I don't know if you guys feel different. I want clearly the Adams and La Porta side because Vidal has a clock on him and unfortunately Mike Evans has a red plus symbol of injury next to him.

[A]

Yeah, look, I think Vidal is going to be useful here in the short term, but just looking ahead. So we got Indianapolis, we got Minnesota, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville. So that's the upcoming. And then we have a buy here. Say it again.

[D]

Give it to me again.

[A]

It was Indianapolis schedule for the Chargers. We've got Indianapolis, Minnesota, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville. Tough matchups in there between Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville Indies. No joke either. Next week and then you've got the buy in week 12. I assume that's when they're hoping to get Hampton back. But again, week nine, and I pointed this out on the waiver wire show, week nine is the trade deadline. So if they're going to do something, it's going to be soon. I just don't know if they should buy into necessarily what you see against the Miami Dolphins because there's such a train wreck.

[D]

Oh, you're saying for them to buy a running back. I don't think they will because twofold. Vidal was really efficient on their yes, it was Miami. They were horrible.

[A]

That's why I like hard part. Is it a fallacy?

[D]

Yeah, but, but I think because of what Vidal was able to do. You dominated a team you're supposed to do. And that Haskins, it's going around Twitter is this really great series of a pass block. Hassan Haskins did and then followed through. I think these two backs, they answer what this team needs in the inter. So I don't think there's any chance they're going to go get anybody. Had Haskins and Vidal both been crappy, maybe that's another discussion. But I think you get the blocking, you get the receiving. Vidal was hitting holes and the matchups are, I don't know, they're not like fantastic, but I mean, I'll take them. Also, I'll put Vidal probably as like a 25 to 30 RB for the next couple weeks.

[C]

This one makes me angry because Welsh can attest to it. My initial take was Fidel is way better running back than Haskins.

[A]

Well, that was, that was DBros. And a lot of people like, he's just better. But I think everybody kept thinking, but, but I thought squad guy. So how, why is he gonna outrank or out snap the other guy?

[C]

Because Haskins is a special teamer, right? Like, he's a very, very good special teamer. That's why he gets the helmet every week. But when you're talking about between the tackles, Fidel is a little pinball. I mean, he's like, no, he helps in that MJD kind of style of, you know, being able to break some tackles and catch the ball out of the backfield. He was everything for Troy's offense. He was their offense. So he can carry a full workload. We've seen him do that stuff before. And Haskins was just, he was one of many backs at Michigan, right? Like, that's just what he was. So, you know, I, I, I thought it was Videl, but all of the reports were, everything's going to be Haskins. I spent my day.

[D]

Michigan, like you said, you had like, the connection. There was so much to have.

[C]

We were just fat money. But that was, that was in.

[A]

It's like, oh, bam, Knight's the starter. Oh, okay. Well, that's interesting to drop on us a couple hours before time.

[C]

Couldn't let D. Markado take the ball again.

[A]

Well, yeah, I understand that. Boggs, what was your big takeaway from week six as we're looking ahead to week seven?

[C]

I mean, it was that Joe Flacco breathed life back into the Bengals offense. Joey, we already talked about that a little bit, but if you want to know my moment and let me take a victory lap here just for a second, how about the moment is Cam Scatter Boo's third touchdown of the night was my moment of week. Number six here. There was no one more of the.

[A]

Two of them together. Seth, can we bring up our picture here?

[D]

Of.

[A]

There it is. And Jackson dart here together, saving the Giants season. Man, I was. When I was. I was of age where he, man, was number one, and I had Castle Grayskull and the whole thing there. And, you know, he. He does. He does. He does have the same shoulders as that character, by the way.

[D]

It's actually stunning. For anybody that's not watching, it's actually stunning. There is. Who is the guy with the. Who's our character? Ram man.

[A]

Ram man.

[C]

Could there be another, like, the only more appropriate, you know, thing would have been if Cam Scatter Boo was actually drafted by the Rams. That's the only way this could be more appropriate.

[D]

Yeah. And then, like, you could have, like, Ram Trucks be the sponsor, like, just. It was the whole thing.

[A]

Oh, there's still plenty of time for Heman.

[C]

Just needs the eye paint right here for Jackson.

[A]

Just that one tear trapped, going down because, you know, he's so street. Jackson Dart. Well, it's.

[C]

It's. He. It's not that he's straight. It's that he is the biggest Anakin Skywalker fan in the world. It is.

[A]

Let's. I know. It doesn't make it not funny. All right. My big takeaway, obviously, for the week is Baker Mayfield is going to be MVP of this league this year. And you could feel the narrative growing. And I tried on the betting shows last week. Welsh was there for some. Bogman was there for some others, where I kept playing this narrative. I'm like, hey, guys, it's Josh Allen. And then it's wide open. Why not Baker Mayfield? I think the Bucks are the best team. And the narrative is he's doing it without Mike Evans. He's doing it without Chris Godwin. He was doing it without Tristan Wurfs. He's doing without Bucky Irving. And guess what? He might be doing it next week in Detroit without Emeka Igbuka, and he's a road underdog. And we all know what happens with Baker Mabel is a road underdog. We know the story. We know how that goes. I'm just saying. And. And I think the. The moment for me of the week was the. Was absolutely gotta be The. The down run where he was basically sacked. He breaks away, keeps going, and then he picks up the first down. It's just the sheer will, and it's really fun to see. And you could feel the last couple weeks, the media starting to ooh and ah over Baker Mayfield is. You know, everyone's tired of Mahomes and Josh Allen's great, but the Bills are scuffling a little bit. Lamar's hurt, and he's like, oh, Joe Burrow's not there. All of a sudden, look at Baker Mayfield. What a fun redemption story. And we love a good redemption story, don't we? We love it here. All right, Welsh, what was your moment of the week? You have a moment.

[D]

You know, you guys had some good ones here, but how about Ryan Branch just absolutely dropping juju? The biggest ultimate poor sport in the entire game. Just walking out all pissy after. He just clocks juju. Juju's on the ground. Everybody's fighting. I think Campbell after the game was ripping into Brian Brandt. I don't know. I just. There were a lot of, like the other one was. Was it McPherson with this would have been a record NFL kick. 67 yards that went off that and didn't count. Like some cool moments. I don't think there's anything crazy. But to end our Sunday night with Brian Branch clocking JuJu Smith Schuster, I thought was very, very telling and that that one stood out to me.

[C]

Welsh preferred UFC over the NFL last night. Apparently that was Brian Branch. Listen, we know from juju's history he will get your ass back. He did it. Devonte's perfect, so he'll do it right again.

[A]

Here's the interesting thing about this. That scenario, a Branch gets suspended this week, right? For that.

[D]

For your bucks.

[A]

Think about all of the other injuries they have in that secondary. That's not a good look. Like, I think the over is 53 for that game.

[C]

It's the dumbest thing.

[A]

I'm just saying. Could go in there with that secondary with Tez Johnson and. And the other Johnson and maybe they'll find another Johnson. All these contents get in there.

[B]

If you smoke or dip, I'm going to give you a few good reasons to try Zynn. Zyn nicotine pouches. First, it's America's number one nicotine pouch brand, and Zynn offers a robust rewards program. There's a lot of options for nicotine satisfaction, but there's only one Zyn. So if you go to zyn.com find that's z y n.com find to find Zyn at a store near you. This product does contain nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.

[A]

All right, well let's play a little fact or fiction. So audience you're watching here, give us fact or fictions. We will answer them here on the show. We've got some pre loaded ones, but we like yours better.

[C]

And let me give it to drop.

[A]

Your fact or fiction.

[D]

Yeah. Because I've seen some people. I'm gonna give you guys a tip out here. I saw somebody ask the same question seven times. Now pose your question. You did seven times about Rico Dowdle as a fact or fiction. So I'll give you an example. We're not gonna answer it till you say it. Fact or fiction. Rico Dowdle is a sell. That's a great way to involve yourself without the eighth time asking the same question. So feel free. Fact or fiction? Anything you guys want.

[A]

I thought it was going to be, you know, I thought it was the nine or ten before you. You know, it's like how many times can remind your Stevenson fumble before he gets replaced? 6.

[D]

7.

[A]

All right, let's do factor fiction here first. Oh, boo. All right. Almost made a whole show. All right, fact or fiction. Aaron Glenn will make it through the 2025 season even though he's a first year head coach. Brian Callahan just got fired today. As of recording this on Monday, Scott Boggan, fact or fiction? Aaron Glenn sees it through.

[C]

Yeah, I think he's gone.

[D]

You mean fiction then.

[C]

I mean fiction. He ain't making it. No, I, they're gonna, they're gonna be 0 and 8 and he gets canned.

[A]

There you go. Try to. Dredis was asking this question. Was already preloaded. But yes, let's get. I see the fact of fictions flying in here. So you think Aaron Glenn doesn't make it through one year as jets head coach?

[C]

I don't. I mean the, the jets fans are at a fervorous anger right now. They, they. He has to go.

[D]

Have you. By the way, do you see the camera? Every time there's a. The jets game and the jets do seven to ten really stupid things, they go to Aaron Glenn and his face is just like this every time. He's like, he looks lost.

[A]

I thought he was going to be a. You know, it's like Robert Salah. I thought Robert Salah was going to be a good head coach in the NFL. I really did. He had all of the earmarks of it. Carried himself well. Good football guy. Been around the league.

[C]

You have to have the right players go down to how good of a coach you are. If you have all crappy players, you cannot win. That's just period. End of story. So Eric Glenn showed with good defensive players, he can make a defense good at least. So they don't have.

[A]

They did hold the Broncos to 13 points. They could only scored 11. Kyoraku Mahomes or QB1 rest of season. Fact or fiction? Welsh Fact.

[D]

Like a qb, not the QB one, but a QB one. Yeah, I would say that's a fact. You got Rasheed Rice coming back this week, just unloading QB1.

[A]

You want to make an argument for him with Rushy Rice returning this week.

[D]

I mean, they have no running game whatsoever. They don't know what they're doing. Should it be fair? They should be slinging the ball. But no, he doesn't have enough rushing equity to be in there. But he is a QB1 rest of season.

[A]

In fact, piggybacking that question. Fact or fiction? Drop all. Casey Running backs. I. I can't argue with this one at this point.

[C]

Until they trade for Breeze Hall. Yep, drop them all.

[A]

Well, it feels like that's. I mean, if you're the jets, you got to deal Breeze Hall. I mean you're going nowhere. You got to move him.

[C]

Somebody has to want him.

[D]

Who's going to run the balls? Braylon Allen should be running the ball.

[A]

Isaiah. Oh, oh, you mean for the Jets? Isaiah Dave, Let him go.

[D]

Factor Fiction. Fiction. He's not getting traded.

[A]

All right, let's do a little question from Van Rod Factor Fiction, Dart and Scatter Boo, the best duo of 2025. Certainly the best duo or group covering 90s hip hop bands. Like, they are such a 90s hip hop, like this is how we chill from 93 till infinity kind of duo. Like I just got all the feels from. It's 1994 again. The two of them, especially when they talk in interviews, they're ridiculous. They're fun. I mean, I don't know how productive they're going to be six weeks from now. Especially Dart. But Scatter Boo has been our guy. Scatter Boo's bogman's guy. Obviously he's the president of the fan club. But are they the best? Like they're definitely the best feel good duo of the year so far.

[C]

Right?

[A]

Box.

[C]

I mean, look, if they can. If they can produce a little. I am worried about the offense without Malik Neighbors. Right. I don't think LJ Humphrey stretching the field is going to do much for you moving forward. So I, I do think that they are in a little danger, but I mean, Dart has played way better and with more confidence than I thought he was going to have. He has been excellent so far. So they are dangerous right now. They're definitely dangerous. I don't know if they're going to do anything with it, but they're. They're a danger.

[A]

Welsh More, more feel good duo this year. Daniel Jones and Tyler Warren Darton. Scatter Boo or I'll give you Mac.

[C]

Jones and Kendrick Bourne.

[A]

Mac Jones and Kendrick Bourne.

[D]

But Dart and Scatter Boo aren't like a few. They're just fun. They're not the best duo. Everybody else is pretty much better. They're just like a fun, cool story after one week. So maybe I'm, I'm. I'm putting as a wet blanket on it.

[C]

Justin Fields.

[D]

No, they're not like a feel good. You're not like, oh my gosh, isn't it so great that they're like doing it? It's like, no, they're just a couple rookies and Cam Scatter Boo running into walls. Oh, my gosh. Isn't her so great how. No, they're. They're fine. They're fine. They're fun. They might be the most fun. They're way more fun than Daniel Jones. Warren.

[C]

They're fun.

[A]

I think George Pickens and Dak Prescott are fun, but for totally different reason. George Pickens was so entertaining yesterday. I mean, I know Bogs loves.

[D]

I love my wide receivers. Hold the ball with just the fingertips.

[A]

As they're running down kids. I'll hold it too when they go out there. Ken Bands. Fact or fiction? Should I worry about Mason Taylor? I'm gonna say no again because of the matchup. Cincinnati Carolina. The next two weeks. I think we go right. I think you just wipe this from your brain. It's terrible. The jets are terrible. That's fine. Sorry.

[C]

They went to Germany and they played Denver. That's a really rough game.

[A]

Game even worse. Sometimes you go to Denver and you end up playing Germany. That's really weird. All the soccer guys show up there. It's a whole other weird thing. Let's go to Nick's question. Friend of the show. Fact or fiction? Woody Mark starts ahead of Chub after the buy. We'll find out next week.

[D]

I say fact. I think that's a fact. I think it was trending in the direction that Woody Mark should be the takeover. Chubb's gonna be annoying. They'll probably still be annoying, but I think it leans a little. Bit more into Woody Marks. I'll go fact.

[A]

Same thing for you. Box.

[C]

No, I'll say fiction, but I don't think it matters. Like, it's just. They're going to be 50. 50. I just. I read a report that the Texans still see Woody Marks as a passing down guy only. So I don't know.

[A]

I like this one from psychopath here. Fact or fiction? Baker Mayfield isn't a redemption story. He was just stuck in Cleveland. Well, I'm going to say fact.

[C]

Let me ask you something, Joe.

[A]

Sure.

[C]

How good would the Browns be right now if they had a quarterback like Baker Mayfield?

[A]

Pretty good.

[C]

That defense is really good, isn't it? Do they have some legit weapons around?

[A]

Yeah, absolutely.

[C]

They ran the one guy that won you a playoff game since you came back in Pittsburgh, by the way. They ran him out of town to get Deshaun Watson. It's my favorite story of the Browns ever. It's my favorite Brown story.

[A]

Like a Brown right there. All right, here's another one from Tito. Fact or fiction A Dunes. They will outscore Rashid Rice rest of season. Welsh, who would you rather have rest of season, Rice or Odin?

[D]

Starting from today. Not like counting the first from today. Well, yeah, I think Rashee Rice is going to come out banging.

[C]

Give me Rome. I just think that they've got a lot of weapons in Casey. With Worthy and Kelsey, they're still. They could trade for a back. I think Rasheed Rice will be really good, but I think Rome is doing what we thought he was going to do last year. Finally.

[A]

I'm going to go with Rice. I'll break the tie here. I like Rice rest of season with Mahomes I to Welsh's earlier point, the running backs a disaster. Like you can't. They can't run the football. It's not happening. Shout out to all the folks who are resubbing. I see all you. Not gusto Spell metri. Awesome. Dev Gifting subs here. Dark Knight just subbed. Awesome. We love having you guys here, everybody and hanging out.

[D]

We do have to do this because I did the setup and I don't think the same person did it. But then it was Skittles act asked. Fact or fiction? Is Rico a cell high? So someone did do it. So if you go up there, fact or fiction from Skittle? Is Rico a cell high?

[C]

If you can get something for him, I would say he's a sell high. Well, that's the point of it. Like, I don't think anyone's going to give you anything Because Chuba's coming back. So if you can float him. But I don't think you're getting anything for him, Joe.

[A]

People get desperate, especially for running back help there. I think Rico is definitely a put him out there and see what you can get scenario. But where Boggs is like, I. I think he's more valuable to those of you who picked him up for nothing and are playing him and winning the last two weeks because you're on the back of Rico Dowdle than what he's going to return to you in a trade. I just don't think that's going to happen.

[D]

I think you should hold because here, here's the selling point. Chuba comes back and then Rico eats and then there's something worthwhile. Otherwise, I'd rather hold on to him while Chuba's out. And then if he all of a sudden creates this value because he takes over for Chuba, then you're on. You got like a top 15 RV on your hands to trade or keep.

[A]

All right. Six clause. As a question, your factor. Fiction. McBride played better with Brissette under center Jacoby Brissette had himself a day. Welsh. What do you think about this one? Is McBride better off with Brissette over Kyler Murray?

[D]

I don't know if he's better off, but it's like. It's kind of a classic. Like, know your system. Veteran quarterback. He was running for his life. If you watch some of that game. So what do you do when you're doing that safety net? Also, Marvin Harrison got knocked out of the game. So it's like, who left? Were you throwing? Was it Michael? No, I think Kyler is the. Kyler is still the better option, but you know, that's not. Neither one of those are great.

[A]

How about this one? Fact or fiction? Mac Jones finds a job elsewhere as a starter next year.

[C]

Bob.

[A]

Pittsburgh based. Oh, yeah, that's right. Why not Aaron Rodgers. Why not?

[C]

And he could be Mason Rudolph. I want Tyson Bajan. That's who I want. I want the Bears backup. That is who I want. I think he would fit perfect for Arthur Smith in that system. But Steelers are looking.

[A]

I keep waiting for the pivot. We'll see what happens tonight.

[D]

49Ers great backup quarter they did with Sam Darnold. And Sam Darnold went out and got the gig, so.

[C]

That's right.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I even think about Pittsburgh. Yeah. Look, this is what it is now. It's these guys who have been in the league. You see, with Sam Darnold, you see With Baker Mayfield to an extent.

[C]

Justin Fields is still going. I mean, yeah, you're a former first rounder. You get second, third, fourth chances.

[A]

Get chances, yeah. Who knows where Trey Lance is the.

[C]

Only one that's just like faded. And we've never heard from Trey Lance.

[A]

Trey Lance didn't have the. The pedigree for it. You know, Trey Lance was about raw materials. And the same thing about Anthony, like nine college games. Raw material guys. Right. That's the problem. It's like, can those raw materials guys materialize in the NFL?

[C]

And the answer, Dylan Gabriel wasn't great, but he started 58 games in college or whatever. So he's fine. You know, experience.

[A]

All right. All right. It's time for the 311 contest. Let's see where we are after week six while really week six is still going as of us recording this. So I am at six over. Welsh was an over this week as well. Bog's got one and he's got one remaining left to go tonight. Josh Allen, if he can get to 300, we shall see. So Bog, since you still have one left, why don't you give us your 300 yard passer, 100 yard rusher and 100 yard receiver going into week seven in the NFL. It's tricky out there. I had a hard time with this this week. I don't know about.

[C]

You put your best foot forward, right? Yeah. Let Bogman go first. I know exactly right now. So you know Patrick Mahomes against the Raiders, I mean, we just talked about how they have no running game at all and the Raiders secondary is still cheek. So let's go with Patrick Mahomes. Let's go with Welsh's guy. He is absorbing the energy of every single injured 49er per Welsh's tweet that's had over 8 billion views or whatever it is at this point. CMC has just usurped all of Fred Warner's powers and he's going up against the Falcons front seven. So I think he could hit 100 rushing yards. And then we're going to go Courtland Sutton versus The Giants. I like Bo Nicks to bounce back. And the secondary for the Giants is still a little questionable. So let's go with Cortland Sutton to bust 100 in week seven here.

[A]

All right, so Sutton, Mahomes and CMC Welsh, what do you have for the people for 311 in week seven?

[D]

What does it matter? What does it matter? I am horrific. I won this game last year. I am the worst at this game. This year and I keep just falling short.

[A]

You're the jets of this game this year.

[D]

Yeah, well, better buying.

[C]

He's got two wins, so.

[A]

Yeah, that's true.

[D]

All right, I'm gonna go with Justin Herbert up against Colts, Colts secondary stank. I imagine the Chargers are going to continue to sling the ball. Ladd getting more involved. So let's go with Herbert for the 300 yard passer. Quinch on Judkins. Miami's run defense stinks and you've got to get the ball. Judges is coming off of a really bad game. 20 plus carries, 100 yards incoming for Judkins and the return of Rasheed Rice. Rashi Rice is going to come out the gates in that first game. He's going to go over 100. He's going to light up the Raiders. They are going to pepper him with targets all night long. Rasheed Rice. I might play alt on receptions if it's. It's going to come in at like maybe four and a half, maybe five and a half. Eight receptions, 120 yards for Rashid Rice in his debut for the season.

[A]

Yeah, he's not returning from an injury, folks.

[D]

Exactly.

[A]

He should be ready to go.

[C]

Well, he is.

[A]

I almost took Judge.

[C]

He also was suspended.

[D]

Well, yeah, well. Well, I mean, that's far past like to your point. Like the reason he's not playing right now is not due to the injury, it's due to the suspension. But he had an injury, so. Samantha.

[A]

All right, so 300 yard passer for me. I'm going there to Dallas against the Washington Commanders. Dak Prescott, who's slinging the ball all over the place. And I do believe, fingers crossed, we'll get CD Lamb back. Otherwise why didn't we put him on ir? That was stupid. It's got to be this week or bust. Also because CD Comes back still George Pickens, like, just because CD Is back doesn't mean he's gonna just rip roaring right out of the gate. I think he's gonna be a little, you know, slow in the uptick. Maybe limit him a little bit just to make sure we protect him a little bit. So I like Pickens against the Washington Commanders too. I don't love that secondary at all. And then, you know, maybe the most under discussed fantasy league winner this year is Jonathan Taylor, who just keeps scoring touchdowns. Give me Jonathan Taylor against the Chargers. Nobody else can talk about him.

[C]

Joey's on every single one of my teams. That's why.

[A]

Well, it's, it's amazing because I gotta say, like the Daniel Jones success deserves all the love that it's getting, all the attention it's getting. He's played very well for them. Warren's been terrific. Pittman's been good. But it's Jonathan Taylor who's really making everything work. And. And to Daniel Jones credit, he's not screwing it up, you know, And I think that's all Shane Steichen was looking for is like, hey, can you just not screw this up? And he couldn't get that from Anthony Richardson and he couldn't get that from anybody else, basically. Do you remember getting it from Daniel Jones?

[D]

Was it. It was, I guess, two years ago. Remember that run that McCaffre where it was like every single week he scored a touchdown and they're like, had you just run back your money every single week, you'd have like a million dollars during that time. I think McCaffrey's like, two touchdowns per game was like 2 to 1. That's where Jonathan Taylor is right now. This week it was. I think it was plus 225, maybe 250 maximum to score two touchdowns. Two touchdowns per game. That's the level of where Taylor is at. He's dominating at that two years ago, McCaffrey level right now. And you're kind of right. Like, it isn't really being talked about how ridiculous he is. But, you know, touchdown bets are not in. Not in the works there for Jonathan Taylor unless you play Joe's favorite, like to score in the first half, which I did with McCaffrey this week, by the way. Cha Ching.

[D]

Oh, this guy traded for Justin Fields.

[A]

Oh, hey, look at this deal. I just got Justin Fields for Jacobe Brissette. How you doing? That's pretty nice right there. Let's take one more question from Tito here. Maybe one or two before we close out today. I lose this trade if I accept JSN and Rome for Nico, Quentin and Rice. What side do you want to be on? This is a big deal here.

[C]

This is JSN in Rome.

[A]

I want JSN in Rome too.

[C]

Quentin's hurt. Rice is coming back from suspension. Nico is constantly hurt. Give me JSN and Rome.

[D]

I think it's a super, super tough one because that's fair. That third wide receiver kind of come. I think it is a fair deal because you're getting one of the best White JSN is an absolute monster out there right now and Rome has a potential to be an easy top 10 wide receiver rest of season. It's just so does Nico, so does Rashid Rice. And then you're getting maybe a top 15. So. So I would love to see what the third wide receiver is in. Like does Quentin Johnson really matter? But without all the nonsense, it's tough to trade jsn.
