And we even had a trade go down in one of our leagues. Our fantasy pros league, too. I don't know if you saw that.
Michael Florio
I didn't ask you that. What happened?
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. In the our. Was it 16 teams? How many freaking teams do we have in that thing? Too many teams. Too many is what we got. I believe it was Chris Olave dealt for Aaron Jones. So I don't know what side of that deal you want rest of season, but I think it's all just kind of grossness.
Michael Florio
Probably a lobby, but it's not. It's not pretty. It's not sexy.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't know. They keep throwing up hospital balls to Chris Olave and that just keeps really bothering me.
Michael Florio
It's not gonna go well. Yeah, dude, I've seen people talk about Spencer Rattler this week, and he was like. He was okay. And I was like, based off of what? Four yards of brute dance? I'm like, I'm looking at all these stats. When I wrote the game up for the primer already and I was like, based off of what are you looking at? That you think he played quarterback? Well, but, you know, I digress.
Joey P. Zeppia
Well, I don't know, but we are going to help you make the trades, Help you make all the moves you need. So drop your comments and remember, if you have a super chat, you go right to the top of the queue. And we've got a lot of them already today, so you better get your super chats in. At some point we'll have to cut you off. Like that guy at the bar who's been there way too long and has been just drinking pineapple shots all night and some sort of, I don't know.
Michael Florio
Or espresso martinis. Not that we have any kind of.
Joey P. Zeppia
You know, I do make a hell of an espresso martini.
Michael Florio
Not that we have any experience in that.
Joey P. Zeppia
I make a hell of an espresso martini. I have worked hard to make a really good.
Michael Florio
Well, wasn't that part of, like, the stipulations again, Erickson, to join fantasy pros?
Joey P. Zeppia
He.
Michael Florio
He basically said that he needs a joy martini, like weekly.
Joey P. Zeppia
Well, last year when you didn't make it because American Airlines shut you down, when Erickson and I played Madden and had espresso martinis, it was hilarious. The two of us in my ballroom drinking martinis, playing Madden.
Michael Florio
Yeah, we didn't do that this year. We had, what, watermelon and cherry Limeade.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, and we watched SummerSlam instead, which is pretty fun. Andrew is with us here, kicking things off here with a nice big super. Thanks, Andrew. Ten team. I have Chase, Connor, jcm, Benson at running back. Okay. Lamb, Neighbors, btj, who I traded a buka for. Okay. I like BTJ more. We. I think we just talked about that yesterday. Sutton, Rice, Ridley, Diggs. Trade Connor and Sutton. Boy, a lot of trades. You making two trades in week two. Trade Connor and Sutton for KY and atn. Connor and Sutton for Kyron and atn. You know what? I don't. I don't hate this. You know what I would rather do? Can you just. Can you just send neighbors and get Kyron and atn?
Michael Florio
Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm not against that. Like. Yeah, who do you feel better about rest of season? Joey, Neighbors or Sutton?
Joey P. Zeppia
But look, here's the thing. He's got. He's got Lamb, he's got btj. He's got. He's got neighbors, right? So those are three wide outs. He's gonna get Rice back eventually. Ridley's gonna be okay. Diggs will, I think eventually be fine. So really, he's got. Sutton is a bonus player for him, who I really love. But again, after Chase, I don't feel great about everything else. I'm still not sold on jcm. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. But to get Kyron and atn, I actually do this deal. Andrew, I know Debro doesn't. I do the deal. I say yes. Let's go with Nick Milon. My dudes. What's up, my dude in PPR? My wide receivers are Terry McLaurin, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Coleman Diggs. Waddle. Who can I trade for a star wide receiver or just hold on to who I have? Well, star wide receivers are going to be super expensive, and I don't know if people are going to be willing to get rid of them right now. Aman Ra comes to mind as an interesting by low because Justin Jefferson, can.
Michael Florio
We say he's a Bilo after week one? Like, it wasn't a monster game.
Joey P. Zeppia
No. But, like, I don't think Jefferson or Chase will be that. I think I'm on Raw maybe. And I think he's gonna smash this week because all those injuries that the Bears have on defense. So that would be the one that comes to mind if you could move DJ Moore and any of the other three not named McLaurin to get Amon Raw. I would do that in a second. Or DJ Moore and Waddle for Amon. Ron, take my money.
Michael Florio
What about this? Okay. Keenan Allen and Keon for Garrett Wilson. You think he could pull that off?
Joey P. Zeppia
Wait, say that again.
Michael Florio
Keon and Keenan Allen for Garrett Wilson.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't think you can, but if you. I don't know.
Michael Florio
But yeah, we'll see.
Joey P. Zeppia
I like. I like Garrett Wilson reunited with his old QB. All right, let's go to Carlos PPR, KW3, and DK Metcalf for McConkey and Ramandre. I want. McConkey's the best player in the deal, so I don't mind that. But I don't.
Michael Florio
I don't mind it. I. I would. I'm kind of curious. Could you go with another running back or maybe just another wide receiver over Mondre?
Joey P. Zeppia
But I'm giving up a lot to get McConkey.
Michael Florio
I think you're giving up a lot. I think this is selling Walker at, like, the basement price. Like, I actually like the Walker side of that more.
Joey P. Zeppia
All right, let's go to Ryan here. Ingram is my only tight end, and I'm not confident in his health. Did we get any updates today? On Ingram. I was just filming.
Michael Florio
No, I hadn't seen anything yet, but.
Joey P. Zeppia
I mean, I didn't see anything either yet. But it's only Wednesday.
Michael Florio
I mean, it's Wednesday.
Joey P. Zeppia
Thursday. That really makes the difference for me when guys aren't practicing. Thursday is when I get a little anxious. Should I try to trade him for pits? Henry, who do you want? Who do you want rest of season? Evan Ingram or Kyle Pitts?
Michael Florio
I'll take Ingram, but I mean, I do too.
Joey P. Zeppia
And then you drop. Just drop somebody for Juwan or Strange. I think that's your best thing. I don't think it's Ingram.
Michael Florio
It's pick up Juwan. Yeah, that's where I would be at.
Joey P. Zeppia
But you're not dropping Ingram for one of those guys, right?
Michael Florio
No, you're not doing that. That's too early to help Ingram.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think it's. I think so too. Stink Mangione, my good pal. What's up, Sting? What should I do? Being in a shallow league where trades are hard to make happen? This is actually a really good question. In shallow leagues, it's hard because everybody's got super teams. So you can't find that. So the only thing you can do is take some of your depth of knowledge and find the margins on flex and other spots or tight end where you know that you can stream or you can make up ground and, and move some of your pieces to get the big boys, the chases, the mars, the guys that move the needle. Because in those shallow leagues, it's the mover, the needle movers, needle movers. The mover need mover needles, the mover needles. It's the needle movers. That make the most impact every single week. Because everyone's got super team in it. Like a 10 team league.
Michael Florio
It's all like two for one trades. And I mean, honestly, you're. You're like, you're talking about the margins. It's really trying to hit on the waiver wire and trying to like flip those guys. Like anybody that's got the hype.
Joey P. Zeppia
Jordan Charbonnet or jcm? Rest of season jcm. Okay, DBRO question here from Mayor. Would you trade your manager for anything in the world?
Michael Florio
Six pack of Liquid Death and a six pack of Monster. Just depends on what flavor.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's a great question.
Michael Florio
It's. It's a good question though. Mayor. Go Birds.
Joey P. Zeppia
Go Birds. Mayor.
Michael Florio
It's.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, stop having kids too. Jeez. Like he's. He has the nerve to be like, yeah, my. The other day we're at a meeting, he's like, yeah, you're not gonna see my family now for the next six months. I'm like, well, you know, it's. You know, it's. Slow down. Slow down, buddy. Stop growing the family. So, hey, look, look.
Michael Florio
Building the Brady Bunch the old fashioned way.
Joey P. Zeppia
He's one kid away from. From like some sort of magical English fairy tale. I feel like, like, slow down.
Michael Florio
He's already having to deploy his own coverage, so, you know, there's that.
Joey P. Zeppia
Oh, my God. It's of kind.
Michael Florio
To which I understand.
Joey P. Zeppia
He's like the Philip Rivers of fantasy pros, that guy. All right, let's go to Totus Magotis. Hey, pros, two questions. Full PPR. KD, Herz, Erz or Henry until KD's back. So Erz or Henry? I'll take Erz. I like his touchdown equity this week. Laport had a really nice game. We were just talking about this on betting pros against that Green Bay defense, and I. I guess here's my thing. I just feel like by the time you're the commanders, get down to that red zone or goal line area, you're trying to stop the running backs, you're trying to stop dating Daniels, you're worried about where the hell is Debo Samuel on the field. And Ertz is open. And I just think Ertz is that easy. Kind of like boring guy.
Michael Florio
Eileen Henry. I don't disagree with Hertz. I think this is kind of a coin flip. It comes down to matchup, and I just think the Dolphins are absolutely dead in the water right now.
Joey P. Zeppia
Oh, God.
Michael Florio
Did you see the. The report? It was like, Darren Waller. We don't even know if he's gonna play week two, much less maybe the rest of the season.
Joey P. Zeppia
Was shocked. Dude, this is my shock face.
Michael Florio
They are imploding. And it's only week two. Like, over, under. What week do you think McDaniels gets fired?
Joey P. Zeppia
Because I originally had said week 12 because that was their bye week.
Michael Florio
Yeah, he ain't making it that far.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't think he is. I don't think he is either. I think it's falling apart the seams already. So you. It might be week four or five.
Michael Florio
It might be week six and a half.
Joey P. Zeppia
Is that win total, by the way?
Michael Florio
I already hit the under. You can hit the under on betting pros right now at plus money, baby.
Joey P. Zeppia
This week is the one that scares me the most. Like, if they beat the Patriots, I think that one's in danger also. Flex 1, Myers, Henderson, Pacheco, Mason, Benson, and Golden. Those are good options.
Michael Florio
It's a volume, dude. He's getting crapped on a volume.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, probably. Especially in ppr. But I'll tell you why. I loved what I saw to Mason Trey Benson against Carolina.
Michael Florio
Maybe it was a week early. Maybe Henderson runs wild on the Dolphins this week.
Joey P. Zeppia
Trade Caleb Johnson. Verbatiel Tootin. Yeah, I'm good with this.
Michael Florio
I'm good with that.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, it's more immediate help, I think.
Michael Florio
All right, you go to Liam Cohen from Arthur Smith. I'm totally down with that.
Joey P. Zeppia
How some people continue to be employed in the NFL. Snapdragon, Bucky. Andrew Charbonnet for Brock. Roman Eckler. Okay, so let's break this down. Bucky and Brock, best two players in the deal. But you're getting Eckler and Roma Dunes A. You know what? If you have enough running back depth. I like getting Brock. I'm a. I'm a Brock guy.
Michael Florio
I'm not against Brock. I like it. I just.
Joey P. Zeppia
Andrews and I think is the favorite guy of Caleb Williams, by the way.
Michael Florio
Which might not count for much if he plays like he did in week one for the rest of the season, but still.
Joey P. Zeppia
By the way, I did see somebody post and. And I did notice it during the game on Monday night, but I didn't like. It didn't register with me. What the hell was he wearing under that jersey? Gray, like the not fitting, bro. It did not look good.
Michael Florio
One, one thing on that, on that game that I thought was hilarious. Did you notice? Did you watch the whole game, Joey, by the way, did you notice when they put up the graphic when Trey Amman and Joe Buck are talking about Caleb's processing faster, he's getting the ball out faster, and then they put up his time to throw and it was higher in week one than it was last year. And they were like. They got rid of the graphic really fast. I was like, when the stats work against you.
Joey P. Zeppia
My favorite stat was of all places, ESPN had it. Who never has content in the second half of that game. Something like 44% of the throws that he made were uncatchable balls or something. Something was something absurd. And it was the worst of any quarterback in the week. It was the worst. It was the lowest rated of anyone. All right. Never forgotten. Just traded IG Bua for Ridley and Tracy.
Michael Florio
Why? Why did you do that?
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't like this at all. This is why you have to come here first to the stream, you know, because then I feel bad. I feel like, please. This is what happens is you come here and you Pour a bowl of cereal and then you ask me for milk and I don't have any and I feel bad that you have.
Michael Florio
I did not. You're gonna go with bowl cereal when you said pour something especially.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't love it. Look, maybe we'll be wrong.
Michael Florio
Sorry.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't love it.
Michael Florio
Hope I'm wrong.
Joey P. Zeppia
Central square films. I love igua but I love them going into this process anyway. So I could IU could keep just one. Is this Adam Sandler? IU could keep just one. Caleb Johnson, Natasha Spears or Al Gordon? Also, would it be crazy to start Hollywood v do Would it be crazy to start Hollywood versus the Eagles over London with the shoulder? Yes. You're playing London unless London is out.
Michael Florio
And then you're gonna watch juju get more targets and you're gonna hate life. Don't do that.
Joey P. Zeppia
If I could keep one between Johnson, Spears and Gordon, Spears would be the first one I pick from it.
Michael Florio
Johnson for Maine.
Joey P. Zeppia
Okay, see, I think. I think they have plans for Spears. I think they did. And then he got hurt and they.
Michael Florio
Were like, spears can't stay healthy. So.
Joey P. Zeppia
Not. Not wrong. Spencer Moellering sent Drake. Here we go again. Fingers crossed. Hold on, hold on. I don't know if it's good or bad. I'm just.
Michael Florio
I already read it.
Joey P. Zeppia
Well, it started off sent Drake. So I can already tell Debro's out. Said Drake. London, I assume, right? And Javante for Nico and Judkins, dude. I mean, no. Judkins is meeting a lot of faith.
Michael Florio
In Judkins that we haven't even freaking seen him of him and he's not going to have that backfill to himself.
Joey P. Zeppia
And there's one of the worst teams.
Michael Florio
In the freaking NFL. Hell no.
Joey P. Zeppia
He's a month behind everybody. El house right now. Is he practicing today? No. Where is he? D, bro, he's in New York in the league offices. He's about to either imminent suspension. Okay. Because it's coming.
Michael Florio
They ramp him up too fast, he's gonna be on the trainer's table when he pulls a hammy too. Here to tell you.
Joey P. Zeppia
All right, let's get to Jordan Mason or for Matthew Golden. Which side you like? I think this is a fair trade, but I like the way Mason looked in that first.
Michael Florio
I want Mason, dude. Golden didn't even run 50 of the.
Joey P. Zeppia
Routes and we come out of it.
Michael Florio
I know, dude, but this is the floor.
Joey P. Zeppia
This wasn't gonna be okay.
Michael Florio
Wide receiver by committee, bro. He's got to get that 50% route.
Joey P. Zeppia
Share for Don paid Christian Watson. I almost fell off my chair.
Michael Florio
That is. They're not resigning Romeo Dobbs. That is a next year move because they're not going to pay Dobs. He's out.
Joey P. Zeppia
He's gone.
Michael Florio
He's gone.
Joey P. Zeppia
I just couldn't believe they paid Christian Watson.
Michael Florio
Oh, I can't believe he did.
Daniel Jeremiah
Here's the thing.
Michael Florio
13 milli sounds like a lot, but that's kind of the going rate. Like, dude, Darius Slayton, did he get 12 mil a year? So that's kind of the going rate for like the wide receiver. Three and fours of the world while, you know, I mean, hey, toss 13 mil my way, I take it.
Joey P. Zeppia
I always wonder what the plural of Luis was. Now I know. It's Luis's. Luis's Hn Algier Johnston for Chase, Brown and Harvey. I want the Chase, Brown and Harvey side.
Michael Florio
Chase, Brown and Harvey side. Easy now. This is a good trade.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yes, but we don't know if it's been executed or not. This is the whole point of the. Of the Wednesday stream, everybody. Yeah, you come to the Wednesday stream and you ask about the trade questions and then you go execute the trade. Okay, if you come to us after, I don't want it again. I. I don't want to disappoint you. I can only keep it real. This is all I can do.
Michael Florio
All balls.
Joey P. Zeppia
No things other things can't say on the end one Flex Jordan Mason Charbonnet. Hollywood appears.
Michael Florio
All the facts.
Joey P. Zeppia
Who do you want to do you want. Look, it's too early because we don't. Do we know about Brock Purdy yet? Not yet.
Michael Florio
No, we don't.
Joey P. Zeppia
Purdy plays. I'll play Pierce all otherwise, Mason is the easy pivot for me.
Michael Florio
I'm playing Pierce All I think even. Even McCorkle is good enough to get him targets. We saw that with BTJ is another winner.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'm Gucci. You Polo. Trade Debro. Oh, no. Debo.
Michael Florio
Sorry. Yeah, sorry.
Joey P. Zeppia
I thought I could trade you for us.
Michael Florio
I mean, Debo's in better shape than I am these days, so.
Joey P. Zeppia
He looks great. Actually, he does. And you know, another guy just took everywhere at the end. He just felt way too far. There was one guy who was ascending in the last week in the drafts, and without a doubt, it was Tyler Warren. And the one guy that was descending was easily Debo Samuel. And I didn't understand it. I had so many drafts where Warren went like a pick or two before me in a round that I was ready to take him.
Michael Florio
I just never got him, dude, like.
Joey P. Zeppia
He always got him before I was.
Michael Florio
Willing to take him, like, and just.
Joey P. Zeppia
I got him a bunch. I got him.
Michael Florio
Of course, I didn't draft a lot of Trey McBride, so, you know.
Joey P. Zeppia
Well, that's the problem is you were early. So trade Debo, JCM and Sutton for HN and Rome. No, no. Hell. Hard no. No. Hard no, bro.
Michael Florio
No.
Joey P. Zeppia
Mitch Jacobs. Mitch Jacobs, attorney Burrow and Debo for Laporta and Lamar 12 first.
Michael Florio
I can see the posters already. Like, you know, he's got a bat. Like, he's holding up like, you know.
Joey P. Zeppia
I know the Porta had a good game, but I don't know if I want to go there yet. I probably, I probably will say Lamar side, but it's fair.
Michael Florio
I'm fine with that. I mean, I'm assuming that you got wide receivers and you need the tight end. Maybe this is a Kittle Bowers or Ingram team or something. I'm good with this.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, that. Well, that's the case then. You're way overdoing it. If it's an Ingram team, then yeah, because you're worried about Ingram because last year he was hurting.
Michael Florio
Mitch, what's your tight end situation? Throw that in the chat.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Seth, see if you could pull that up. If they respond there. Carter Strange got offered jsn Genty for Lamar. Need a running back. Genti for, For Jamar.
Michael Florio
No, I think that's Chase.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yes. I. I mean that was a lot, but I don't know, I just don't want to trade Jamar.
Michael Florio
I don't want to trade Jamar. Here's the other thing. Like, dude, JSN had almost every single receiving yard from Sam Darnold last week.
Joey P. Zeppia
If anybody else, every week.
Michael Florio
But that's what you're counting on though.
Joey P. Zeppia
Jake Sealy basically did a PSA for everybody at the end of August. Like, hey, everybody's too low on JSN and he was 100, right?
Michael Florio
We'll see. I don't know, man.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think he's 100, right?
Michael Florio
Dude, it was like 139 out of like 160 passing hours. That's not going to keep up all year. If anybody else steps forward, this is a strong offer.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's dropping Carter. This is a strong.
Michael Florio
This is a strong offer. Like, I still take the Chase side of it though. Like, Chase is a league winning difference maker.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'll tell you what, if you, if you are looking at a team that you didn't like the way the draft went and you suck at running back, like, I Mean suck. Then this is okay. This is okay value because you're getting a number one wide receiver at a number one running back. You're not getting a high end wide receiver one, but you're getting a volume guy. And Genti could be a top five running back when all said and done. But it's a big risk. I wouldn't take it if you like.
Michael Florio
It's a big risk. And you know what that looked like though, Joey? Like a trade.
Joey P. Zeppia
Somebody who lost in week one. That's what it looked like.
Michael Florio
And that looks like a trade you'd make in an 8 team or a 10 team league. Like you want the Chase side versus like a 12 teamer. You might want the JS inside, but I still won't lean to Chase at this point. So.
Joey P. Zeppia
Mitch has Kincaid by the way. So yeah, I'm more apt to take.
Michael Florio
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take that deal.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yep. Yeah. All right, let's get to some more of your questions. Seth, you're so good at your job.
Michael Florio
So much love that man.
Joey P. Zeppia
Wyatt King. I traded a Marian and Rushy Rice for Henderson and Ricky Pierce all. How did I do?
Michael Florio
Oh, Wyatt, I like.
Joey P. Zeppia
Good because you don't. I mean, Rice is still weeks away. So. Yeah, let's live in the now. You're good. I don't like this whole playing for six weeks from now stuff. I'm not a big fan of that. You know, you could be out of the playoffs by the time you could. You could play yourself out of the playoffs waiting for Rushy Rice. Uriah Brost. It's a great name. Wide receivers are Chase, Sutton, McMillan, Piercel and Ridley.
Michael Florio
Okay.
Joey P. Zeppia
Traded Ridley and Goddard for Kittle while still having McBride. Win or loss, that's a win.
Michael Florio
That's a win.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's a win. I like it.
Michael Florio
Especially with the news of Goddard. Imagine you pulled that off for the knees brain today, you know?
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. You know what I would do right when KD's coming back? Because you don't really need him. I'd flip him because his value will never be higher than the week he's coming back.
Michael Florio
That's how you get a stretch run piece to sit here and go take down the league.
Joey P. Zeppia
That's how you stretch run piece. Let's go. Stretch from piece. Let's go to Isaac's question. Neighbors for Connor McConkey and Jalen Warren. Neighbors for Connor McConkey. Yeah, they're getting a lot.
Michael Florio
I do that.
Joey P. Zeppia
Neighbors look unhappy.
Michael Florio
Yeah. Brian Dable is like, high five, my bro.
Joey P. Zeppia
And neighbor's like, no, no, Come on. Manico from ball. Singh. This one's more like just roster wise, like it's fair. This is fair value. I want Bucky, but that's fair.
Michael Florio
I'm not. I'm not against it.
Joey P. Zeppia
Smash the under on his prop for 70 and a half last week. Cha Ching.
Michael Florio
Yeah. Knew that was the bounce back this week.
Joey P. Zeppia
This. This week. Bounce back. Baker Mayfield, underdog on the road. Lock it in, folks.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Baker Mayfield plays his best football. Underdog on the road. Oh, it's magic to get what favorites at home. Underdog on the road. Baker Mayfield. That's the one you want. Gonzo gaming. Mike Evans and Debo for BTJ and Josh Downs. Let's see that one first. Evans and Debo for btj.
Michael Florio
I want the Evans side.
Joey P. Zeppia
I do too.
Michael Florio
Downs wasn't even a 50 route share guy. We don't know when Godwin's coming back or if he's even gonna be close to 100 when he does.
Joey P. Zeppia
I want the Godwin and Bruce hall for Jacobs and Mooney or.
Michael Florio
No, wait, wait, that's.
Joey P. Zeppia
I want Jacobs. I think again, what am I waiting six weeks for Godwin? I don't know, man. If I'm 01, I want Jacobs.
Michael Florio
Okay, so I read that wrong, but.
Joey P. Zeppia
There'S like a second one.
Michael Florio
Downs. I want that inside and then Godwin and Breeze for Jacobs and mooney.
Joey P. Zeppia
If you're 0 and 1, I want Jacobs. Because look, you can wait all day for God when to come back, and you just don't know what it's going to be.
Michael Florio
Yeah, it's fair. Mooney's still up in the air whether he plays, but I think he's on the field a lot faster than God.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, but Jacobs is, I think, ahead of Bruce hall for me by a decent.
Michael Florio
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Wyatt Brockson, Nico and Aaron Jones for Gibbs or a Buka and Aaron Jones for Jacobs. Nico and Aaron Jones for Gibbs. I love that. I like getting Gibbs on the. Gibbs is gonna smash this week, by the way.
Michael Florio
Gibbs on the cheap.
Joey P. Zeppia
All the total yardage. Props on. On Jame right now.
Michael Florio
I want to hold a buka, man. I'm not. I'm not getting out. I don't think this is like the sell high. I'm on the Nico and the Jones for. For Gibbs.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. All right, let's go to Greg's question here. Hey, bros, I got offered Drake May and BTJ for Caleb and Pearsall in a 14 team league. Should I take it? Yes.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
100.
Michael Florio
I would do that. Yeah. Yeah. You're getting the discount on btj, and I'm. I mean, we. We've both been talking about, like, we're out on Caleb, so. You look terrible.
Joey P. Zeppia
I picked up agent in 2.
Michael Florio
I picked up agent in every single Dynasty league this morning. He was sending home waivers, and I was like, yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Joey P. Zeppia
My third quarterback now in two. I think I picked him up in flex this morning too. Did you know? I think I did. Yeah.
Michael Florio
I didn't pick him up at flex. I just couldn't. I didn't have the room. No, that's not.
Joey P. Zeppia
I had injuries with Kittle and everybody, so I had more roster space. And then the other one is. Oh, no. So should I take it? No. There we go. All right, so we got that one. Here we go. Let's go to the next question here. Let's go to Mikel's question here. K9 for JCM. Oh, my God. We might break Derek Brown with this question. This is how you break a Derek Brown in week two with this question. I can't say it's insane, but I'm still leaning Walker.
Michael Florio
Although it's crazy. It's very concerning.
Joey P. Zeppia
Watching. Put yourself into a pretzel. This is amazing. This sucks.
Michael Florio
I think I'm gonna get stress, diarrhea.
Joey P. Zeppia
We could do it right now on this question.
Michael Florio
I, I. Dude, I feel like this question comes down to, do you need a player? Are you higher on like, or did you start owing one? What does your team look like? Do you need to play, like, right now versus, like, what could this look like in, like, five or six weeks? I don't know, man.
Joey P. Zeppia
Michael, I can, I can tell you.
Michael Florio
Both sides of this, like, this is.
Joey P. Zeppia
Wrong because you're looking at this and you could say in four weeks from now, oh, I missed out on getting Jacori Crosby merit, and he's one of these guys that ends up being a league winner.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Or. Oh, my God. I can't believe a one week wonder I traded away Ken Walker for.
Michael Florio
I know there's tons of risk on both sides of this.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think the latter is the more likely scenario. So I'm gonna hold canine for now.
Michael Florio
Yeah, I agree with you on that.
Joey P. Zeppia
I. I still think so. We'll see. We'll see. Gabriel Guerra received a trade for Samson. I received canine, except for Dylan Sampson.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Done like Samson. But I'll. I'll abstain from this one here.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
All right, let's get to. All right, let's get to Zebsy. Zebby. Zebsy. I Don't know Ebzy. I don't know. CD Bucky. Canine for King Neighbors and Trayvon.
Michael Florio
CD Bucky and Canine for Henry Neighbors. And I think with the Henry side of that, but it depends on your wide receivers. That's close.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'll take the dirt side. I'm taking Derek Henry. Yeah. Neighbors in CD Lamb in a perfect world when Jackson Dart takes over are not gonna be that far apart. And I think, yeah, Derek Henry's still miles ahead of Bucky for me. Yeah. No, like throw in piece. I like the Henry side, but.
Michael Florio
I like the Henry side. But it's close.
Joey P. Zeppia
One sided under Richie. Should I try to target for Dylan Sampson or Pacheco 14 team? I think Samson will be cheaper. So I would take Samson because people are thinking Judkins just comes in and takes over again. I don't think it's gonna be that simple. I just don't.
Michael Florio
You don't miss all of training camp and the preseason and everything, all the installs and stuff, and just get thrown back into it. Here's 15.
Joey P. Zeppia
Samson was getting the receiving work too. Like, that's the. That's the stuff you want.
Michael Florio
Is what. Like, what is the best run out for Judkins? He's the early down guy on a bad offense that's gonna be trailing every single week. Is that somebody you really want, Norland? Anyway.
Joey P. Zeppia
Star 2. Debo Evans, DeVonta Smith, Ted McMillan.
Michael Florio
I'm not even through the primer yet, man. Like, I'm not.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's Debo and Evans. You don't have to be through the prime. It's Debo and Evans. You're playing Mike Evans this week because it's Baker Mayfield as an underdog on the road. And you're playing Debo because a, it's Thursday night. It's good to get some points, right? So play him at wide receiver so you can give you the flex spot open just in case. But no, I'm. I'm all in. And look, Debo was. Debo had 10 targets cut 7 for 77, and he had a rush for 19 yards.
Michael Florio
He looked good, man. He.
Joey P. Zeppia
Did he bow. All right, let's go to Ryan. Would you trade KW3? Oh, man. KW3 the most traded guy. Go get Ken. This is the Ken Walker the third live stream today. Holy crap. Would you trade Ken, Walker Ingram and Ridley for Genti and Pittsburgh? I would if I could, but good luck with that. I want Genti. You're getting Genti.
Michael Florio
Yeah, yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it. This is Just a nothing burger. Like if you can get somebody else. Fine.
Joey P. Zeppia
The zero quarter. Hey, pros 12 team. I have Mahomes, Braylon Allen, Josh Jacobs, Devonta Smith. Okay, blah blah. Do you think this is solid? Okay, we're just evaluating the roster here.
Michael Florio
Yeah, we're just so.
Joey P. Zeppia
We're just evaluating the roster. Look, I think St. Brown bounces back this week. You are very light running back. I don't understand starting running back. That's not good. That's so zero quarter. You need to do some RB homework.
Michael Florio
Go trade QJ for somebody.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Why is it so thin? Like is this. It's only a 12 team league. Yeah, it's not an RB2 in a 12 team league, right?
Michael Florio
No.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Princess Donut. Hey guys, I'm hurting at RB. I have 12 half PPR. Wide receivers are Chase, Lad, Tet, Pierce. All Mooney RBs are Pacheco, Tracy, Javante, JK, tight ends, Bowers. Who would you prefer to move and target? Hurting at rb? Yeah, you are hurting. I tell Javante.
Michael Florio
I mean I actually feel better about that room than she probably.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't love it.
Michael Florio
I mean I don't love it, but I think you got a lot of volume pieces that's.
Joey P. Zeppia
You know, I'd love to move Javante off that two touchdown performance with Mooney and get some. Yeah.
Michael Florio
If you can sell high. If you could sell high like him.
Joey P. Zeppia
And Mooney or Javante and Laddie and.
Michael Florio
Or, or and then go go shopping.
Joey P. Zeppia
And then go shopping for the Bucky Irving sweepstakes because he's obviously available too.
Michael Florio
It's a good call.
Joey P. Zeppia
And Tet can get it done. Like I don't like moving Lad, but if you really are worried about running back and look, I don't think you have an RB1 on this team right now. Like you don't know. So that's a problem.
Michael Florio
I would go ladden lad, Mooney, even go knock on the Genti door.
Joey P. Zeppia
Andrew says if I could get Genti instead of Kyron for Sutton Connor. Is that better? Yeah, of course.
Michael Florio
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Look, it's only we're only one week into the season. Let's not throw away all the preseason rights yet. Yeah, okay. We could do that in October. Where it doesn't matter anymore. Ashray Shaw K Sean Bute for Marvin Mims. What do you want, Booty?
Michael Florio
I don't want anything to do with Mims.
Joey P. Zeppia
Trey Benson for a Cam Scadaboo. I want Benson this week especially. He's flex worthy this week. Benson?
Michael Florio
Yeah, I'm Fine with it.
Joey P. Zeppia
The Carolina Panthers gave up 3, 000 rushing yards last year. They gave up 200 in week one. Yeah, like, there's gonna be enough for somebody that.
Michael Florio
Dude, that was the. My biggest takeaway from week one. It was like, everybody's like, oh, etn. And I'm like, dude, y' all need to look at how bad this Panthers run defense is. Like, I'm not trying to shade etn, but that's also. That's also an indictment.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, but he still looked good doing it, too. He still. He did.
Michael Florio
He did.
Joey P. Zeppia
And yes. Pick up Fannin. I think we have Hawkinson. You just want to like. I think it'll all be fine. You know, again, it was only one good half of football from jj. He puts a whole game together next week, then you really got something that's gonna be a fun game, too. He gets back to back standalone night games for the kid to open his career. That's pretty wild. Monday night and Sunday night, back to back. That's pretty wild.
Michael Florio
JJ Player. Player of the week, by the way, for the NFL. Did you see that?
Joey P. Zeppia
Really? No.
Michael Florio
Yeah. Now really? Player of the week. Eden Hayden.
Joey P. Zeppia
How is Derrick Henry not player of the week after that?
Michael Florio
Dude, I was wondering the same thing. I was like, look, I love jj, but, like, I'll. I'll take the wins where we can get him.
Joey P. Zeppia
But what? Like, even if you said Josh Allen, I would be like. Like, I. I mean, you know, it's fun.
Michael Florio
I get it.
Joey P. Zeppia
Twisted folk. Rank these QBs for this week. Mayfield, Herbert. Caleb next. Mayfield.
Michael Florio
Herbert for me and then, yeah, Nick's Caleb.
Joey P. Zeppia
Oh, look, if you want. They're. They're Herbert Baker back to back. Yeah.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Very interchangeable. Thank you.
Michael Florio
Flavor there.
Joey P. Zeppia
Standard league play. Dak or golf?
Michael Florio
Dak.
Joey P. Zeppia
I want. I want to play golf this week.
Michael Florio
I think he's gonna crush the Giants.
Joey P. Zeppia
I. I think.
Michael Florio
But I mean, either one is. Is a good option, I think.
Joey P. Zeppia
Golf at home, everyone's licking their wounds.
Michael Florio
Man, their offensive line looked bad, bad, bad in week one.
Joey P. Zeppia
I didn't see that. Secondary is hurt, hurt, hurt. And they have nobody left. You on that pick. One from the wide receiver. One for Flex Pierce. All Samuel Myers. Hunter Downs. Coleman Judkins can't play. Guys, guys, listen to me. Can't play Judkins until further notice. He is deep, not even practicing. M. Okay, right now. Dead to me. He is dead until further notice. Just because he showed up and signed a contract does not mean he's gonna play football necessarily or be fantasy relevant. Right? Out of the gate and it's not. He's quinch on Judkins. Like, he's a nice prospect, but my God.
Michael Florio
Yeah, people. No, people love their Quinton Judkins from prospect season.
Joey P. Zeppia
I like Quinn Judkins at Prospect. He had a nice combine. He had a good career at Ohio State two years or a year ago, I should say. Like, what? Oh my God. This is not like, you know, it's not Earl Campbell, not Derrick Henry. Let's calm down, everybody.
Michael Florio
Sir, are you going Pierce on Debo? Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think it's still Pierce on depot for me. Xavier, you didn't get skipped. I. Look, we got a thousand questions, Xavier.
Michael Florio
Yeah, we're getting to them.
Joey P. Zeppia
We can't say. You can't drop the thing and then put it like, put your question with the thing. That's what you got to do. You can't like say here's my super chat. And then there's a question. I saw.
Michael Florio
You gotta.
Joey P. Zeppia
Adam, you can't do that to us. Do you see how many people are commenting? We just can't keep up with them. Picked up Booty off the waiver wire. Got offered Ridley and Shahid for bootay and Mason. Easy. Accept Ridley and Shahid for bootay and.
Michael Florio
Mason to get Ridley. I want the Ridley side of that.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, I hate losing Mason. I'll be honest with you. He's just.
Michael Florio
He's an early down, touchdown dependent flex dude.
Joey P. Zeppia
He just.
Michael Florio
More than that.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think Aaron Jones looked old and slow to me in that game.
Michael Florio
His week one was. No, I get it. I get it. He didn't hire on Mason. I'm not low on Mason, but if he doesn't get a touchdown, he's gonna get.
Joey P. Zeppia
If you need wide receiver, I'm fine with that. I want question 12 person PPR trade Chimera and Pierce all for BTJ.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah.
Michael Florio
Camara. In a week where Spencer Rattler threw the freaking ball 46 times, had two targets. Count them with me, people. One, two, two. Ah, ah, ah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Two targets. If you need help making trades when we're not here to help you make trades, well, have you considered using the trade analyzer? You should. Don't be a tool. Use the tools.

Let's continue on here with the super chats again. Super chats. Go to the top. SM Pick two, full ppr. Juwan Fan and Craft. It's Fanon and Craft.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Craft is on the field all game. There's no way. I'm not playing with that.
Michael Florio
I'm fine with that.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'm just morbid curiosity on Fanon. They're gonna be. Look, the spread is 11 and a half. The script is they're playing from behind. He's going to throw the football.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
And it's in Baltimore. Like, you know, you know, Joe Flacco wants to win this game like low key so bad. Like he just like, you know, it's like, you know, I don't know how many more of these I got. I got one more game to play in Baltimore, probably my career. I'm going to go out there and ball out like. I love the Browns with the 11.
Michael Florio
Go beat my former backup.
Joey P. Zeppia
Oh, I love it. I love it. Love the Browns with the 11 and a half this week. We'll see. Hey everybody. Last year Raven started 0 and 2. Just to remind everybody, they lost the first game. Then the next week they went home and they lost to the freaking Raiders. The freaking Raiders at home last year.
Michael Florio
That was crazy, dude.
Joey P. Zeppia
Jeff Arguello Bros. And Joku for Mason. Yes, please. Don Fannon and Ty Warren are.
Michael Florio
I don't care who the hell. Who, who else you have? Yes.
Joey P. Zeppia
Why do you have Fanon and Warren? Like, just. You don't need Fanon. Trade Fanon right now he's at his peak.
Michael Florio
Well, maybe he picked him up because he was, he was expecting to trade in Joku.
Joey P. Zeppia
But right now the theoretical Fanon is really valuable. Theoretical Vanon is, is somebody that everyone's curious about. Like, oh, is he a breakout?
Michael Florio
One of those Scooby Doo memes and they just pull the mask off and it's Isaiah Likely.
Joey P. Zeppia
It is. It was me the whole time. But I'm just saying, like, he's got value. Especially with the Ingram manager and all these people in your league. The kiddo manager you picked up Fan.
Michael Florio
And go kick the tires, dude.
Joey P. Zeppia
You need them out there on the block right now. Yeah, you'll be shocked. You get Jordan Mason for him. I bet you should probably get KW3 for him.
Michael Florio
I mean, considering every. All the K dub questions we're getting. Yeah, I'm not gonna rule it out, dude.
Joey P. Zeppia
Daniel Saucy. I was offered Coleman Sutton and Travion Henderson For Fields and Crosby. Merit. I have Mayfield and Pennix. So is this a super flex encounter with Fields for Hindu?
Michael Florio
I'm guessing this is one qb.
Joey P. Zeppia
So basically if you countered already. So it's Field for Henderson. Fields.
Michael Florio
Yeah. I'll take Henderson. Yeah. If you can flip Fields for that.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Why do you have yeah Quarterbacks? Well yeah.
Michael Florio
Super flex. I still. I would aim. If it's super. I would aim higher than Henderson.
Joey P. Zeppia
I want Fields right now.
Michael Florio
Super flex. I want. I want Fields.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Try to put the format in there. Boys and girls. Ghost. Great team 12 FPPR Lamar Irving Brown, Tillman Pickens, Ertz, London Fields. Harvey Thielen, Hollywood Okonkwo. Drop that other tight end. Actually no. You know, Ertz is. You're light and tight end. You're light and wide receiver.
Michael Florio
Drop a conquo.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Drop a conquo. No. You know what? This is the kind of time that.
Michael Florio
I would pick up Taylor or somebody else over.
Joey P. Zeppia
You know what I'll pick up in a league like this? Guys like Ayo Manor. Guys like Tesla.
Michael Florio
Yeah. Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Because those guys might pay off three weeks, four weeks from now.
Michael Florio
Like that's the pickup over Thielen. Like if you're not going to play.
Joey P. Zeppia
A conquo like it's just.
Michael Florio
I don't know, you're probably not playing Thielen either.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah but like that's the kind of league where the. The Darth throws on the young kids. Horton. But it's Alan or it's Tesla. Those guys don't be shocked if you see Tesla like play a little bit more.
Michael Florio
This another goodbylo Jaden Higgins. They didn't run. Yeah. Full time wide receiver. Yeah. He got. He got dropped in some leagues I'm in.
Joey P. Zeppia
He got dropped in the league I was in. I picked him up. I was like oh my goodness. That. That's a mistake.
Michael Florio
People crazy. We going over reactions man.
Joey P. Zeppia
Love it. Every year. Hey pros feel very strong at receiver but weak at running backs. And I'm on Ross St. Brown and Kyler Murray to get Lamar Jackson and Travis Atn and pick up Tootinoff waivers.
Michael Florio
I'm not against that. Depends on who your wide receiver. Wide receiver. I get it. I'm fine with that.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'm fine with it. But again I always hate deal if.
Michael Florio
You have a strange Tyler's not nearly as good as people think man like he is. Oh no, no.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'm not a Tyler guy at all.
Michael Florio
No.
Joey P. Zeppia
So moving. That's a substantial move up kind of. I don't have a Problem with this. But always be careful of this when you have a strong. A strong part of your team. I'm really good at quarterback at Superflex. I'm really good at, you know, wide receiver.
Michael Florio
Doesn't mean you rip it apart.
Joey P. Zeppia
Well, yeah, don't rip it apart. That's his team strength. Yeah. Just find ways to find solutions in RB2 turtles be turtin up next 10 team super flex trade amon ross, st. Brown and devonta Smith for Bijon. Yes. Yeah, I'm done with that CD and bench Pierce. Okay. Yeah.
Michael Florio
Totally down with that. Yeah. Boy.
Joey P. Zeppia
I have a lot of questions about the same players. This is very telling everybody about who's available in their leagues.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
I need a very solid wide receiver. I have good rb, Robinson and Henry. What wide receiver should I hunt for Henry? You don't trade.
Michael Florio
Why are you trading Derrick Henry?
Joey P. Zeppia
You have Henry and Robin. If you're solid at wide receiver, why.
Michael Florio
Are you doing that? Don't do that.
Joey P. Zeppia
No, no, don't do that. Just know I just said don't do that.
Michael Florio
The answer is kill.
Joey P. Zeppia
Who's on the ir? Would you trade Tony Pollard for Tucker Craft? No. It's a lot.
Michael Florio
Hell no. No.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think that's too much.
Michael Florio
Too much.
Joey P. Zeppia
Tyrone Tracy for Ken Walker. What's that?
Michael Florio
Get KDub.
Joey P. Zeppia
Okay, there you go.
Michael Florio
Tracy keeps doing not the things and Cam Scatterboo is going to take over, man.
Joey P. Zeppia
Prodigy got offered Samson for Coleman. I like Samson.
Michael Florio
To me this comes down to what do you need? If you need wide receiver, go get him. If you need running back, keep Sampson.
Joey P. Zeppia
So all right, I think it's fair. Wait, I don't know if this is something else here. Seth is posting other things here in the chat there, but I don't know what exactly what he's talking about. I need more information on that. Seth victor mesa. Hey guys. 12 team PPR. I am trying to move Debo and Travis Kelsey. Who should I target? Thoughts on Travis Hunter, Debo and Travis Kelsey. Does that get you Brock Bowers in a piece of.
Michael Florio
No, not. Not a little injury.
Joey P. Zeppia
Were people a little panicky?
Daniel Jeremiah
Not with.
Joey P. Zeppia
Not.
Michael Florio
Not with the week one that Kelsey had and not with the year that Kelsey had last.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't love Hunter. I think Hunter is a fine wide receiver. 3.
Michael Florio
Yeah. After looking at his usage and now they're talking about week two. They're going to play more on defense. He had a really rough game at wide receiver.
Joey P. Zeppia
Would you trade Debo and Kelsey for Bucky Irving? Oh, God.
Michael Florio
If you can get it sure. Well, look, would you trade it for Tyler Warren?
Joey P. Zeppia
No. It's too much.
Michael Florio
It's too much for Tyler Warren?
Joey P. Zeppia
I think so. Because obviously if you're dealing Kelsey, you have another planet tight end already. Okay, that's my assumption. Like why are you trying to deal Kelsey if you already have, you know somebody else here? Another one. KW3 Charbonnet Jordan Mason, Jennings for Breeze, Hall, Jacoby and Dowdle. So it's the Seattle backfield. Mason and Jennings for Breeze, hall and Jacoby Myers basically Rico Dowdle to me is not a piece that I'm interested in. I think you want to keep the Seattle backfield for now.
Michael Florio
I think you want to keep the Seattle backfield. One of those guys is going to step forward and Jennings injury they said.
Joey P. Zeppia
Is not step to the IR at some point. Avery back again Mahomes Herbert Fields PPR again doesn't matter. Jelan Johnson Craft. So who do you like of these quarterbacks first? Herbert's the safest but Fields is the most upside. I think Fields we all just saw.
Michael Florio
What Lamar did to them, right?
Joey P. Zeppia
Fields. Yeah. So Juwan Johnson, Craft or Goddard? It's Craft for me. Dude. For me it's entire game for me.
Michael Florio
I just didn't come up volume.
Joey P. Zeppia
That's fine. God or Abram Pierce. All more Keenan Allen Harvey Javante Williams, Q.J. hunter Brown, pick two. Piersol and Javante.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Because Lions bounce back this week. Broncos and Lions this week. Boys and girls.
Michael Florio
Denver's going to run down the Colts throat.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's bananas at the Broncos are like two point favorites in that game against the Colts.
Michael Florio
Yeah, it's. That's. That's because they played the Dolphins week.
Joey P. Zeppia
Miami is so bad. They made the Colts look great. Yep. Denver did not take the Titans seriously.
Michael Florio
Looked bad there was getting too damn cute, man. The stuff he was doing in 19 was ridiculously stupid.
Joey P. Zeppia
Right now there's a Denver Bronco throwing up in a trash can because Sean Payton's working them so hard. I'm telling you right now they are pissed off because that was disgusting showing by the Denver Broncos.
Michael Florio
All right, Denver's. Denver's gonna run up the score this week.
Joey P. Zeppia
Parker was offered Saquon Henderson and Pacheco for cmc Chase Brown and Chubb I.
Michael Florio
This comes down to who do you believe in more. This is like Joey, I want to sit back. These are your favorite things. There's no way in one trade pick.
Joey P. Zeppia
Go it's the Chase Brown side because I think Chase Brown is going to be better than Henderson. So this is Easy for me. Because if CMC equal parts death and destruction and joy and glory, you feel.
Michael Florio
Better about the workloads for CMC and Chase Brown than you do the two top running backs on the other side.
Joey P. Zeppia
So. Yeah. Corey Matherly. Should I do Shakir over? Excuse me. Shakir Olavi and ATN for rice. McLaren and McConkey.
Michael Florio
Good Lord. Yes, you can do it, Corey.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't think you can.
Michael Florio
Have at it. I don't know if you can, but.
Joey P. Zeppia
JJ for Neighbors and James Cook. I don't want to trade jj.
Michael Florio
I don't want to.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't want to trade Waddle for anybody. You can get.
Michael Florio
Yeah, you're not going to get anybody. You really got to hold him. Waddle might be end up being a good, good player to have once, you know, Tyreek is traded back to Kansas City.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't think.
Michael Florio
I don't worry. Walks off the field. I still think.
Joey P. Zeppia
You know, it's funny if you had asked me, you know, I. I joked about that in the off season, but now with. I think at some point there will be a desperation here. You got Worthy Hurt. Rice is suspended.
Michael Florio
It makes too much sense for both sides. Tyreek's pissed off. He's tired of being in South Beach. It makes too much sense. It didn't make sense. Does it now? It does.
Joey P. Zeppia
It does. Big time.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Speaking of Chiefs, Bam. Should I trade Worthy and Keisha Booty for Evans? A hundred percent.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Not gonna happen.
Michael Florio
Evans. Evans. He had a down game.
Joey P. Zeppia
You're not gonna get that done. There's no way you get Evans, right? If you do, come back and tell me.
Michael Florio
If you do, please come back and tell us.
Joey P. Zeppia
I have Josh Jacobs. I love that it's plural. Like I've got. Well, you have Josh Jacobs. What?
Michael Florio
Chuba Hubbard is Josh Jacobs running back.
Joey P. Zeppia
I have Josh Jacobs. Chuba Hubbard. You do? Ew. Sutton Craft for Malik. Neighbors Hawkinson and Camara. So Jacob's neighbors, Chuba Sutton. I feel like the Jacob's Chuba Sutton side is a little bit side.
Michael Florio
I want the Jacob side easily.
Joey P. Zeppia
I think it's safer.
Michael Florio
Yeah. I want the Jacob's side. Let me tell you, that's trying to buy.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't know if that's another Judkins. One just popped up here. Trade Judkins right now. Put him on the block, see what you get.
Michael Florio
Trade him to the Samson team. Let them have the entire Browns backfilled. And you say whatever you want to.
Joey P. Zeppia
Give me my Rhino Bowers and a Marion Hampton for Henry. Yeah. If you could do it.
Michael Florio
I think it's hot. No, I don't want.
Joey P. Zeppia
Bowers is healthy.
Michael Florio
Like I love Brock Bowers but not enough.
Joey P. Zeppia
Apparently Derrick Henry is special.
Michael Florio
You're smitten with Henry.
Joey P. Zeppia
He is.
Michael Florio
Do you have a Derek Henry shirt? Do you have any apparel? Do you have like a Derek Henry.
Joey P. Zeppia
Like I have a Derek Henry NFL blitz shirt. I will happy, happily wear it tomorrow. I've got my little, little Derek Henry.
Michael Florio
It's throwback. He's with the Titans.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. That's how long. That's a. I go back to them. It's vintage. I love that statistic where Derrick Henry still hasn't broken his high school rushing record. Dude, they had 12,000 yards in high school in four years and he probably never played a fourth quarter in his whole life.
Michael Florio
Everybody, if you want a fun time, go Google is highest high school stats. They're. It's a fun read. Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Derrick Henry every year should be a top 34 pick. And the hard he's an RB1 a.
Michael Florio
Top 5 RB until he decides to retire.
Joey P. Zeppia
We will look back at the career of Derrick Henry and and say we. We didn't appreciate what we.
Michael Florio
Yep. We didn't appreciate him.
Joey P. Zeppia
Enough fantasy.
Michael Florio
He's an all timer.
Joey P. Zeppia
Stacy, keep Keon or trade for George Pickens.
Michael Florio
Get Pickens.
Joey P. Zeppia
I would trade key on for Pickens too. I think big bounce back this week for the Dallas Cowboys offense too. A couple more catches, a couple more calls go their way. The Giants are gonna make some mistakes. It's gonna be a good week. Leticia Yepez. I need a running back. I've got Debo to trade who's around similar value for Debo. All right, let's look. Let's. Let's get the trades winds going here. Debo ATN Brief ETM was the first.
Michael Florio
Name that I was gonna say.
Joey P. Zeppia
Etn Breeze Hall, James Cook. Boom. One of those.
Michael Florio
Did you take Pollard?
Joey P. Zeppia
No, I like Debo more. Okay. I do.
Michael Florio
I think I would take Pollard. But I think. Or hey, what about Amarion Hampton? We haven't evoked his name. I would take a Marianne Hampton.
Joey P. Zeppia
Maybe. Maybe I would take $5 and I would go bet it over at Hard Rock Bets. That's what I would do right now. So if you've got five bucks, go do it.

Matt Jones
Hey, this is Matt Jones and I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Cover Zero. We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining and twice a week that is exactly what you're going to get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different.
Joey P. Zeppia
Did you see The Colts pretzel. That was my other big takeaway from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold.
Matt Jones
Oh, my.
Joey P. Zeppia
So that was my other big Colts takeaway.
Matt Jones
They sold that?
Michael Florio
Yes.
Matt Jones
Might want to go back at the Colts stadium.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, I want to go back to the drawing board on that.
Matt Jones
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well for generations.
Matt Jones
We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go.
Joey P. Zeppia
I hope I'm as youthful as Pete.
Michael Florio
Carroll is at his age.
Joey P. Zeppia
He's a young 73.
Matt Jones
He is a young 73. He is spry.
Joey P. Zeppia
I wouldn't fight him.
Matt Jones
I would listen. NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Frank, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'm Marcus Grant.
Michael Florio
And I'm Michael F. Florio, and together we host the NFL Fantasy football podcast.
Joey P. Zeppia
Fantasy season is here, and the question is, are you ready to dominate your league?
Michael Florio
Because if you're not locked in with us, the NFL Fantasy Football podcast, you're already playing from behind.
Joey P. Zeppia
Every episode, we're breaking down the biggest fantasy headlines, injury updates you need before kickoff, and matchups you can exploit to bury your competition.
Michael Florio
We're talking sleeper picks, breakout stars, and the players you can't afford to bench.
Joey P. Zeppia
Whether it's rookies making noise or veterans keeping their value, we cover it all.
Michael Florio

Joey P. Zeppia
The edge, the insight, and the confidence to make every move count.
Michael Florio
Weekly analysis, hot takes, and insider knowledge all in one place.
Joey P. Zeppia
So what's it going to be?
Michael Florio
Another just okay season or total fantasy domination?
Joey P. Zeppia
Listen to the NFL Fantasy Football podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We need a better graphic for this, too. Can we? We need, like, me cashing a bet or me with, like, a guitar and, like, my 80s hair. Like, I can put my wig on. I'll take a picture. We need that. That's a much better graphic, don't you think?
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
I sense somehow that you don't. Yeah. Believe that. You know, I just want to see the disclaimer. We can still put the disclaimer, but I think me like this, like, like Hard rock with my mullet wig that I have in the closet right here.
Michael Florio
Can they take the. The pictures from Vegas and just AI A.
Joey P. Zeppia
You don't have AI? I have it right here. I wore it on leading off last Year. My. My mullet wig. Josh Brooks. It's, like, blonde, too. It's great.
Michael Florio
It's blonde.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's like a dirty ball. Yeah.
Michael Florio
Wow.
Joey P. Zeppia
Because I'm a dirty boy.
Michael Florio
Did you get like a full, like, case of Budweiser with it or. No, I just didn't know. Some bush they give you like, just a Styrofoam cooler. Full. Full.
Joey P. Zeppia
I actually watched the original Spinal Tap last night.
Michael Florio
Oh.
Joey P. Zeppia
Because I hadn't seen it in a long time. Still funny age.
Michael Florio
Pretty well. Pretty well.
Joey P. Zeppia
It holds up. I mean, that moves from like 1983, I think. Or four. Somewhere around that. It still holds up. It's pretty good. Josh Brooks in Tight End Premium Super Flex sent Laporta for Breeze. Have Fannon and Mason Taylor. You're taking a chance here. Yeah, but the only running back I have is Kyron, so. All right. Yeah, but you've given yourself some outs.
Michael Florio
I get it.
Joey P. Zeppia
Respect.
Michael Florio
Respect.
Joey P. Zeppia
Respect. All right, let's go to Nick Adams. Question. Mike Evans and Craft for that Derrick Henry.
Michael Florio
I hope it's not 100 Henry. It's gonna be Hunter Henry.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's like, if it's. If it's Derrick Henry. Smash.
Michael Florio
But it's close, especially with London banged up.
Joey P. Zeppia
All right, you're off the London boy already.
Michael Florio
I mean, dude, I just think. I think Mike Evans is underrated. That's all.
Joey P. Zeppia
That's fair. He's also 100 years old. I love him. But yeah, he's. It's amazing. Somebody should study his workout routine. That guy's unbelievable. Every wide receiver who comes in a league should be like, hey, Mike Evans, I'd like to be your best friend.
Michael Florio
If we have underappreciated Derek Henry his entire career, we have absolutely unappreciated Mike. Mike Evans, he's an all timer. Like, he's not gotten enough respect at all.
Joey P. Zeppia
Hall of Fame, first ballot.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Super Flex. Pennix Judkin.
Michael Florio
All right.
Joey P. Zeppia
Judkin. Super Flex.
Michael Florio
Look what you did, Jason.
Joey P. Zeppia
Jason Silver Flex. Are you kidding me?
Michael Florio
Jason, what are we doing?
Joey P. Zeppia
You did this. Stop playing.
Michael Florio
It's not my fault. You did this. I didn't do this. You did. Yep.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yep.
Michael Florio
See? You did this, Jason. I can't even take credit for this. I would love to take credit for this, Jason. I think you just got something worse. Worse than a bro? I think that's definitely worse than a bro, right?
Joey P. Zeppia
In a Super Flex, bro.
Michael Florio
Yeah. Yeah, bro.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. In a super Flex. We don't. He is in New York for disciplinary actions right now. And you want to start him over Michael Pannix. What are we doing? What?
Michael Florio
I think he's trading him, but.
Joey P. Zeppia
Oh, he's just trading him Or. That was a complete overreaction then. All right, let's go to Pennix. Judkins Coleman for Ward, ATN and Tyreek Hill. What side do you want?
Michael Florio
I want the word side.
Joey P. Zeppia
You want the Ward side because you're.
Michael Florio
Getting 18 and Tyreek. Is there that big of a difference? I mean, it's.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't know, mankind's tirade.
Michael Florio
And now you're gonna argue for the Judkins side?
Joey P. Zeppia
No, I'm arguing for Michael Pennix. Okay. Over Ward in a Super Flex being the most valuable piece.
Michael Florio
Yeah, but I think you're making it up in the ETN and reek. I mean, I look at this as Pinnocks and Coleman for Ward.
Joey P. Zeppia
I blacked out. I thought this was a start. Sit.
Michael Florio
I know you blacked out. That's.
Joey P. Zeppia
And I just blacked out. And I just like, just. I didn't see the or. Or 4 rather, because it was a number in there. You know, Usually. Usually people spell it out. So I didn't see the number. So I just lost my mind. So, Jason, I. I take back my bro. But it was fun. It was a fun moment on the show. That's. Or just make moments here. What did Lee Corso say? We're an entertainment show. Football is just the vehicle. That's what we are. That's what we do. Okay, let's go to. It's okay to laugh and it is perfect. Transition trade Piersol for Pollard. Need rbs.
Michael Florio
No on Pierce. All.
Joey P. Zeppia
Nope. Excited for Mac Jones this week.
Michael Florio
I'm excited for 15 targets.
Joey P. Zeppia
All right, let's cut off super like super flex.
Michael Florio
You broke him, Jason. You broke him.
Joey P. Zeppia
Cutting off super chats. Please don't drop anymore because we don't want you to be out your money. Let's go to James. Full ppr. Neighbors for Jacobs. Don't trust New York Giants or Neighbors Health.
Michael Florio
Jacobs. Yeah. Jacobs.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. I really like, don't trust Russ.
Michael Florio
It's going to impact Neighbors and we're.
Joey P. Zeppia
One week too much longer. I don't think if they wait too much longer, it's gonna be real quick.
Michael Florio
I don't want Jackson Dart behind that freaking offensive line. It's going to be bad, that offensive line.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, but Jackson can move a little bit. He's. He's. He's nimble.
Michael Florio
I love Jackson Dart. I just don't want to see him get decapitated. But because there's no Andrew Thomas.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't want to see that happen. Well, when's Thomas due back? Three weeks.
Michael Florio
Well, I'm hoping he plays this week. I mean, it. It sounded like they just held him out because he wasn't ready, so.
Joey P. Zeppia
We'll see. Russell Wilson wishes he's ready this week. Michael's question. James Connor and Keon for Bucky.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Bucky. Yes.
Michael Florio
Done. Easy, done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Accept.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Okay, let's get to BKNY 10 team PPR. I have Chase, JJ.
Michael Florio
Wow.
Joey P. Zeppia
What? And Adams. Should I trade Zay Flowers for James Cook? Yes. Yes.
Michael Florio
Yes.
Joey P. Zeppia
A thousand times yes. How'd you do that? What. What universe is that? Be keeper league scenario. Henry Martinez have Saint Brown and neighbors want to trade. Want to do a trade. Either of them need a running back or any other wide receiver. So neighbor Saint Brown, that's going to get you, I think, higher into that Bucky Irving territory, right? Yeah, it's gonna. It. I don't think it's gonna get you into Jameer Gibbs territory, but you could try Chase Brown, Jacobs.
Michael Florio
That's neighbors for Bucky. I would do that.
Joey P. Zeppia
What about Genti? Would you do Genti for neighbors?
Michael Florio
Yeah, I would do that.
Joey P. Zeppia
That's the most appealing one to me. That's what I'd like to do. Jack Anderson, trade Breeze and Baker for Harrison and Burrow.
Michael Florio
I don't want to do that. I still don't believe in Marv's usage.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. But I believe in 20.
Michael Florio
He had a 20 target share. Yeah. Just.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. I think Joe Burrow's gonna be qb. I think he's empty.
Michael Florio
Yeah. For me, if that's not like. I mean, who do you believe more in this season, Breeze or Marv?
Joey P. Zeppia
If I have running backs, I'm good. Taking on, like, I don't love Kyler. You know how I feel? It's like, I know Kyler, Marvin Harrison, Joy last year, and I have zero shares. I have.
Michael Florio
I. I'm sure.
Joey P. Zeppia
Marvin in 12 leagues, and I got no shares in Marvin Harrison. I don't even know how it happened, considering how high I was.
Michael Florio
Well, I know how it happened because.
Joey P. Zeppia
I watched him play with Tyler Murray again. Threw things at my television. Don't give him the stick. Is it worth trading Charbonnet as a Walker owner?
Michael Florio
No, no. You keep Charbonnet. Why?
Joey P. Zeppia
Sorry. Sorry. Trading.
Michael Florio
Oh, trading four. Okay. Yes. It depends on which.
Joey P. Zeppia
Depends on what you need to give up. Dunes, a Tillman craft.
Michael Florio
Depends on what you need to get.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't see any of those pieces that you want to move for sharpening so it's got to be something less.
Michael Florio
Probably something like you picked up off the waiver wire.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. QJ or something like that.
Michael Florio
That's the qj. Make Captain Austin. Whatever.
Joey P. Zeppia
Jay Jacoby Super Flex Dynasty Half PPR trade. Jags ATN for Russell Wilson.
Michael Florio
No, Russ is going to get benched, like, in the next two games.
Joey P. Zeppia
Devontae Smith and a 2026 second pick. No, I have ATF.
Michael Florio
No, no, no.
Joey P. Zeppia
Jay.
Michael Florio
No, no, Jay. No, no.
Joey P. Zeppia
Luis. Thoughts on Harold Fannin Fan is has to talent.
Michael Florio
He could be really, really good. Or he could be this year's Isaiah Likely. It could be a flash in the pan. I don't know. Let's see what it's going to be. We'll see.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'll tell you this much. If he's a lot of likelihood this week, if he smashes this week, flip him. No, I'm just saying.
Michael Florio
Are you buying any further?
Joey P. Zeppia
Okay, well, I'm just saying, like, he's been picked up everywhere, but I think it always matters. I think people were overpaying for likely because they were more aware of him. I think Fanon is more of a league winner potentially because he was so cheap. Like he got him for a couple bucks. Chances are with that. Right. Whereas likely was like, oh, no, Andrews, he's getting older. Oh, we all know is a likely. He's been there. They had a huge first week. There was a tendency to overpay. People were paying 50 of their budget for Isaiah.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Last year. It was crazy. So different circumstance. DJ Hype High pros trade Justin Fields and Amarian Hampton for Joe Burrow and Travion Henderson.
Michael Florio
I want the field side.
Joey P. Zeppia
Man. And I love that Joe Burrow's been in the league for five years and people still write Joe Burrows. I love that. It's just. It makes me like. And he's already got Jamar Chase and Chase Brown.
Michael Florio
So you're already a lot of investments in. In the Bengals, man.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, but it's one of the best offenses. I mean, I get it 10 team league. It's like. It's like your Bengals against everybody.
Michael Florio
I just feel better about. I think this is like the worst Hampton game we see all season. So I would do it workload. I. I feel better about the field.
Joey P. Zeppia
Side, but I would say yes, but DBRO says nay. So. All right, let's get to Brian's question here. Traded like Buka and Sutton for Puka. A lot to give up.
Michael Florio
That's a lot to give up. But I get it.
Joey P. Zeppia
It's too much I don't love it.
Michael Florio
A small league. I'm not, I'm not against that.
Joey P. Zeppia
But trade Fields for Pacheco, trade Odunze for Piersall. No and no.
Michael Florio
And I mean if you can get Pierce off road, sure. That first one. Hell no.
Joey P. Zeppia
Oh, I. Yeah. I don't think you can do this.
Michael Florio
I'm not trading Fields for Pacheco.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't want. If you can, if you can pull that off, great. But the other one's not gonna happen. Miami Martian. I am an eight team league. Wow. I have Metcalf, Egbuka, Devonta, Smith, keenan Allen and McLaurin.
Michael Florio
Okay. How many can wide receivers can you.
Joey P. Zeppia
Start start versus bench? Yeah, let's just rank them.
Michael Florio
McLaren's the one or one and two. One and two is a buka McLaurin.
Joey P. Zeppia
Okay. And then who's number three for you? Met calf would be three for me. Yeah, they'll be hyped up there. Keenan Allen will be next. And you know what? I'm worried about Smith. Like Smith is going to be tricky this year. Titus Carter. I hope it's better this week. I did do and I think that's gonna be a high scoring game. Trade Diggs for ridley in a 14 team league.
Michael Florio
Yeah, I'm good with that.
Joey P. Zeppia
What do you think the Chiefs show up and do this week? You know they got their butt kicked in the super bowl. Do they have some respect? I mean they're kind of down.
Michael Florio
I don't know dude. I think it's another down game. I think the Eagles handed I think.
Joey P. Zeppia
Eagles win but I, I think they, they show up at home like I.
Michael Florio
I just, I. I just don't know who if you're the Chiefs who is the go to piece you're gonna lean.
Joey P. Zeppia
On Is it's gonna be Hollywood. It's gonna be Kelsey. It's gonna be juju. It's gonna be Hollywood.
Michael Florio
Kelsey have enough juice left to be that guy.
Joey P. Zeppia
Look if it week 14 I would say no but it's week two so I'm gonna say they show up. I still think they lose but I think they show up Campy. Hey guys rate my team make a trade scary week one 12 team full PPR burrow yeah bad day cook Harvey neighbors BTJ hawkinson Olave don't love Olave Aubrey Godwin. You have too much dead weight Godwin mix and judgment way too much dead.
Michael Florio
Weight on your you.
Joey P. Zeppia
You can't move. I would trade all three of those guys for one really good player. If you can again I would drop.
Michael Florio
Joe Mixon straight up just too much.
Joey P. Zeppia
Dead weight Ryan and Addison for Pierce all Yes yes. That.
Michael Florio
That's a great fan in trade and.
Joey P. Zeppia
He moves 12 team league Lamar May KW TMac it's early look in fact you have KW Caleb scares me a.
Michael Florio
Little bit May I mean. I mean I think this team is solid. I think you hold for now.
Joey P. Zeppia
You gotta wait a little bit Caleb and kw something's got to give there that's. That's my lane there. Trev got JT and Connor. Should I be looking to trade one?
Michael Florio
I mean it depends on what you can get for Connor.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah. Also have Devonta, Smith and Jefferson. Yeah hold.
Michael Florio
Do you see what Seth just dropped in the chat? No Jeremy Fowler Bill AKA Jacori cross gamer will eventually be the commander's lead back. His teammates have been impressed by the patience and vision he showed with running and with the first team in camp. Let's go season right Lightning round because.
Joey P. Zeppia
I know you got to go pick up children right? All right.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
Igbuka or flowers for tire for Warren. Flowers.
Michael Florio
Flowers if you want to send one of them but I would get a.
Joey P. Zeppia
Manor bateman for flex. None of them egg buka for flower. I did that one right. Nick traded hn Keenan Allen for Genti and Sutton today.
Michael Florio
Good move. Good. Well done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Nick Adams. Evans Craft for Ken Walker. Keenan Allen. I have a buka. I want the Evan side.
Michael Florio
I want the Evan side.
Joey P. Zeppia
Not close. Aaron Jones for Olave. It's poop for poop. It's just. It's that is. It is like. It's just fine. Like both of those guys to me are. It's not players I want. It is F12, half PPR, Sun God, JSN, DJ Moore, RB, blah blah. Do I trade JSN for Kyron Williams? No, you don't have enough.
Michael Florio
No.
Joey P. Zeppia
If you could get DJ more Kyron Williams that I would do.
Michael Florio
If you could fantasy for combo. DJ Moore and Keon for a running back.
Joey P. Zeppia
Need RB help. Trade my kiddle for his bill. Yes.
Michael Florio
Yeah, I mean we hope Kittle's back in four weeks. We don't know. Could be a little bit longer.
Joey P. Zeppia
I'm stacked at wide receiver. Going to try to get Gibbs. Is Nico and Pacheco enough for Gibbs?
Michael Florio
I think it could be.
Joey P. Zeppia
I don't know if he's stacked at wide receiver. You've got. I don't.
Michael Florio
I don't know if you're stacked either.
Joey P. Zeppia
Then you're down to the neighbors again.
Michael Florio
Trade neighbors for Gibbs.
Joey P. Zeppia
Yeah, that would be much better if you Can Courtney have rb Gibbs, Taylor, Kelsey. Pick one. Penix or Daniel Jones. Let's do that. Pennix and then pick three from this grouping here. Need wide receiver help. BTJ in. Evans in. Adams in. Easy.
Michael Florio
Done.
Joey P. Zeppia
Done. What else? I think we got a couple more. Start Strange, Fannin or I'm going Fanning. You're hesitating. My team. Qb Baker, Purdy, Gino. Do you see a playoff team here? Baker, Purdy, Gino, Henry, Cook, Harvey, Benson, Tooton. Potentially, yeah. Potentially, yeah.
Michael Florio
He's gonna earn more of that backfield, I think.
Joey P. Zeppia
Btj, Derrick Henry, Harvey, Cook. Yeah, I think that's a playoff team.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
BTJ is a good roster. Nick Car, QJ or Boute? Qj, Fanon and Addison for Piersol. Yes.
Michael Florio
Yep. Pierce.
Joey P. Zeppia
All. Derek, Michael.
Michael Florio
I see you.
Joey P. Zeppia
That was worth 1.99 for everybody.
Michael Florio
Yeah.
Joey P. Zeppia
For Sutton, that was well done. For Sutton, yes. Oh, yes. For Sutton, yes. For Juwan? Not yet. And for Henry? Not yet. I'm waiting one more week. Somebody dropped Bo in my league.
Michael Florio
No Dak. I want Dak over Nicks.
Joey P. Zeppia
Okay. Pickens or Ferushi Rice? Half epr. Who's better?
Michael Florio
No, Pickens.
Joey P. Zeppia
Pickens. All right. And that's it. That'll do it for us, everybody. Make sure you like the stream. Make sure you drop your comments so you can win the trophy. Smack. Big trophy giveaway. Don't Forget to bet 5 bucks over at Hard Rack. Bet. And win 150 when that bet hits. And if you need more help, I don't know how, but if you do sync your leaks for free. Don't be a tool. Use the tools like the trade analyzer. That'll do it for us. But the story of the game goes on. For Derrick Brown, I'm Joey P. We'll see you next time, kids.

Episode Title: Kenneth Walker for Jacory Croskey-Merritt? | Week 2 Fantasy Football Trade Advice (Ep. 1700)
Date: September 11, 2025
Hosts: Joey P. Zeppia (“Joey P.”), Michael Florio
In this episode, the FantasyPros Live team—Joey P. Zeppia and Michael Florio—fielded a barrage of pressing trade questions from listeners as the fantasy football landscape began to shift after Week 1 of the NFL season. With panic trades starting to fly and managers scouring for actionable advice, this episode centered around running back values (with a spotlight on Kenneth Walker and Jacory Croskey-Merritt), trade targets, RB depth, and the art of executing deals at the right time. The hosts answered dozens of real listener trade conundrums, debated “buy low” and “sell high” opportunities, and offered guidance on how to handle running back committees, injuries, and team construction.
"Let's not throw away all the preseason ranks yet. We can do that in October when it doesn't matter anymore!"
— Joey P. Zeppia [29:17]
"You could say in four weeks, ‘oh man, I missed out on Jacory Croskey-Merritt, league winner!’ or, ‘oh my god, I can’t believe I traded away Ken Walker for a one week wonder.’ I think the latter is more likely, so I'm holding K9 for now."
— Joey P. Zeppia [24:25]
Chris Olave for Aaron Jones
– Hosts felt both sides were “gross,” preferred the Olave side, but noted his risky usage so far.
Connor & Sutton for Kyron Williams & ETN:
– Joey advocated for aggressively targeting both RBs, “I do the deal. I say yes.” [04:04]
DJ Moore and ‘anyone’ for Amon-Ra St. Brown:
– High endorsement of Amon-Ra as a by-low star receiver. “Take my money.” [05:06]
KW3 (Kenneth Walker) & DK Metcalf for McConkey & Rhamondre:
– Mixed opinions, but ultimately felt the McConkey side “gives up a lot,” and the Walker side might be safer. [06:05]
"Derrick Henry is an all-timer. We didn’t appreciate him enough in fantasy."
— Joey P. Zeppia [46:29]
Shallow League Advice: – With “super teams” everywhere, pursue big upgrades, not depth. “Needle movers move the margin.” [06:55] – Two-for-one trades are often the only way to land stars.
Waiver Wire Flipping:
– “Anybody that’s got the hype, flip them!” The hosts endorse churning the wire for value to trade up. [07:42]
Walker/Charbonnet (Seattle backfield): – If you roster Walker, “don’t sell Charbonnet.” Keep the backfield handcuffed unless you’re getting a clear upgrade. [59:17]
Jordan Mason and other RB fliers:
– Mason is a preferred “floor play” over shaky route-share WRs like Golden. [14:37]
– “I want Mason. Golden didn't even run 50% of the routes.” [14:37]
"I've got my little Derrick Henry NFL Blitz shirt. I’ll happily wear it tomorrow… He had 12,000 yards in high school in four years and he probably never played a fourth quarter!"
— Joey P. Zeppia [46:01]
"Just because he showed up and signed a contract does not mean he's going to play football or be fantasy relevant right out of the gate!"
— Joey P. Zeppia (on Judkins) [31:29]
"If you have a strong part of your team—don’t rip it apart for trade’s sake. Find solutions, don’t break strengths."
— Michael Florio [38:41]
"He is the Philip Rivers of Fantasy Pros, that guy… Stop growing the family!"
— Joey P. Zeppia (joking about a coworker’s large family) [08:36]
The hosts maintain a high-energy, jokey, and conversational tone throughout, mixing sharp analysis with inside jokes and running gags about cocktails, work colleagues, and pop culture references. They encourage engagement (“Drop your comments so you can win the Trophy Smack!”), embrace the chaos of the trade avalanche in fantasy, and repeatedly stress the importance of patience and value-based trading—while still pushing listeners to be aggressive in upgrading their rosters.
| Side | Pros | Cons | Final Lean | |----------------|------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------| | Kenneth Walker | Safer, proven role, less risk of being a fluke | Offense concerns, possible committee issues | Prefer to hold for now | | Croskey-Merritt| Big upside, could be a league winner | Risky, could be a one-week wonder, unproven | Only trade if desperate at RB |
"There’s tons of risk on both sides—are you chasing upside, or do you want floor? I lean Walker for now."
— Michael Florio [24:40]
This was a turbo-charged mailbag episode full of actionable advice and trade debates as foundational weeks shift the fantasy landscape. If you’re stuck on a potential trade, the underlying theme is: “Don’t chase points from last week, chase roles, volume, and league-winning talent… but, most of all, have fun with your moves and play to win.”
