Episode Overview

In this live Q&A, Joey P. and Andrew Erickson analyze trades from listeners, offer actionable buy/sell advice, and discuss key player values heading into Week 9 of the fantasy football season. The hosts field dozens of real-time questions—ranging from injury-impact scenarios to “buy low” plays—sharing expert insight on how to best navigate a turbulent, trade-driven part of the fantasy football calendar.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Quarterback News Impacting Trades

• Joe Flacco/Jake Browning Injuries:

  • With Flacco potentially out, hosts urge extreme caution trading for Bengals like Ja’Marr Chase and T. Higgins.
  • “If Joe Flacco’s shoulder is falling off and Jake Browning’s at quarterback, like, that’s gonna tank Chase. That’s so bad.” – Andrew (02:40)

• Streaming QBs Is Viable:

  • Streaming options (Justin Fields, Darnold, Flacco) can provide stability, so moving elite QBs for running back upgrades is acceptable when needed.
  • “Streaming quarterback’s been pretty solid this year. There’s a lot of options.” – Andrew (03:17)

---

2. Buy/Sell/Trade Analysis: Notable Questions

Wide Receiver & Tight End Trades

• Bowers and Nico Collins for Ferguson and Egbuka:

  • Ferguson/Egbuka have performed better, but Bowers/Nico have higher “draft capital.” Egbuka is the best piece. Fair trade if you need a WR. (02:00–02:35)
  • “Even if Bowers outproduces Ferguson...I don’t think Ferguson’s going to dud out. I think it’s a fair deal.” – Andrew

• Nico/Pickens for Ceedee Lamb:

  • Andrew would happily upgrade; Joey questions the remaining WR depth after trade, but likes upcoming matchups for Odunze. (04:20–04:44)

Running Backs: Buying, Selling, and Deadline Speculation

• Josh Allen for Bijan Robinson:

  • Fine if you’re deep at QB/comfy streaming. Bijan seen as a “buy low” after two stinkers (03:06–03:28).

• Lad McConkey and Harvey for McLaurin and Tracy:

  • Caution on McLaurin’s health and Giants’ offense—“Lad” is the best piece; prefer the side getting him (03:51–04:20).

• Trade Deadline Candidates:

  • Rashid Shaheed and Tony Pollard speculated among trade candidates; don’t buy into “Breece Hall will be traded” rumors (05:36–06:06).
    • “Tony Pollard wasn’t seen at practice today—could that be a trade or injury?” – Joey

Package Up for a Stud

• Tet McMillan & KW3 for Saquon:

  • Slam dunk for the Saquon side in larger leagues (16:40–17:13).
    • “Saquon is capable of having those massive games.” – Joey

• Keenan Allen or Deebo Samuel for Rico Dowdle:

  • Move Deebo if you can—rest-of-season injury risk (17:13).

---

3. Philosophy: Buy Talent, Not Just “Production”

• Multiple times, both hosts encourage acquiring underperformers with pedigree/upside (Nico Collins, Genti, Bowers, Bijan).
  • “This is a classic: you’re buying low on guys that we do believe in...” – Andrew (18:08)
• Don’t panic trade stars after a few poor games; Bijan cited as the quintessential “don’t tilt trade” candidate.
  • “That’s a frustration trade that you learn to regret two weeks later.” – Joey (12:30)

---

4. Caution on Injured/Underperforming Players

• Deebo, McLaurin, Saquon, London, Joe Flacco’s impact on Bengals—If acquiring, price in the uncertainty.
• "London’s banged up...Pickens has been good, so just keep playing Pickens.” – Andrew (15:14)
• Trade for potential rather than overpaying for current injury/role uncertainty.

---

5. Roster Construction & Depth Moves

• Leverage surplus: If you have great RB depth, move from it for high-upside WRs or QBs and vice versa.
• “Package” multiple lower-end guys for a star; don’t accept “four quarters for a dollar” type offers.
  • “That’s the classic pile up a bunch of crap for a great player, which I would laugh you out of the room for…” – Joey (17:16)

---

6. Memorable Quotes & Advice

• Don’t Panic on Bijan:

  • “You can’t be selling Bijan after two stinker...just, no, gotta keep.” – Andrew (12:23)
  • “That’s a frustration trade you learn to regret two weeks later.” – Joey (12:30)

• Young Guns on the Rise:

  • “Rookie running backs break out in the second half of the year. You got three shots—you only need one of them to fill that RB2 role.” – Andrew (30:48)

• On Pickens vs. London:

  • “London, Pickens... taking Pickens. I think London’s just too banged up right now.” – Joey (28:03)

• Jalen Warren’s Value:

  • “Go get Jalen Warren, everybody.” – Joey (60:23, closing statement emphasized throughout)

Additional Expert Takeaways

• Streaming is OK at QB: Don’t be afraid to move an elite QB if you have options and can get an RB/WR upgrade.
• Injuries Shift Landscape Fast: Monitor news closely, especially with so many late-breaking injury situations impacting value.
• Depth Over Quantity: Focus on upgrading starting lineup rather than accumulating depth for its own sake.
• Stay Steady with Stars: Don’t sell key talent at a low point (Bijan, Chase, Gibbs, etc.) unless the return is overwhelming and roster construction dictates.
• Aggressively Pursue High-Upside Backs: Jalen Warren was highlighted throughout as the top trade target for RB-needy teams.

---

Conclusion

This episode blends rapid-fire user Q&A with timely strategic trade advice, centering around leveraging changing player values and staying disciplined as trade deadlines approach. The guiding principle: be aggressive on acquiring top talent at seasonal lows (Bijan, Jalen Warren), don’t overpay for unproven depth, and always monitor late injury news before making deals.

All right, Andrew, you ready to tackle some trades today, my friend?

[C]

Let's do it.

[A]

All right. By the way, news breaking. Joe Flacco might not play this week. So all of my T. Higgins Jamar Chase shares are very sad by that news. Just very sad. So we'll see as time goes on. Here's one from Harmon. Howdy. How is going? I have Hertz, Rico. I'm sorry. Herz Rice, Nico cmc, Derrick Henry, Bowers, Videl. I need a wide receiver trade. Bowers and Nico for Ferguson and Egbuca. Is that a trade you'd want to do?

[C]

Which I definitely want.

[A]

It's difficult because Igbuka and Ferguson have been the guys that have performed better this year. But Bowers and Nico are the guys with a draft capital who are supposed to be better this year. So that to me is the conundrum of this trade.

[C]

Is it Buga? Not the best piece though.

[A]

In my opinion, he is.

[C]

And then I think even if Bowers out produces Ferguson the rest of the way, I don't think Ferguson is going to just like completely dud out where you're, oh, I need a tight end. So I think that. I think you're getting the best piece. So I think that it's a. It's a fair deal for receiver.

[A]

Would you trade Henry and Nico for Jamar Chase or keep it as it is? Especially now with the Flacco news, I.

[C]

Don'T feel confident recommending to trade for Chase when I mean, if Joe Flacco shoulders falling off and Jake Browning's a court like that's gonna tank Chase, like that's so bad.

[A]

Jake Browning, that's for sure. All right, here's one from NN here. Five and three, third place, but I don't think the team is good enough to win. Josh Allen for Bijan. Would you do that trade here in this certain circumstance, QB would then pivot to Flacco and Darnold on the waiver wire. So Darnold would be the answer.

[C]

So you're going to streaming quarterbacks essentially based on the running backs and I.

[A]

Mean, yeah, I guess running backs are Javante Williams Travy on Henderson marksman guy too. Now I think you do this deal.

[C]

A bunch of rookies. Yeah, I'd rather. Yeah, just take play. The streaming. Streaming quarterback's been pretty solid this year. There's a lot of options. So Justin Field is also on the waiver wire, so you can stream him when he. Before he loses a job again.

[A]

All right, let's go to Ty's question here. Ty's got two here. Traded Chase, Brown, Judkins and Gadsden for Josh Jacobs. What do you think of that deal?

[C]

It's a lot for Josh Jacobs, but I don't know if there's going to be anyone stopping his touchdown streak, so I'm fine with it.

[A]

And then the other deal was traded Lad and Harvey for McLaren and Tracy.

[C]

No, McLaren's injured again and I think Tracy, yes, he's the guy now. But the Giants. What's the ceiling with the Giants offense if you're not Cam Scatter? Boo. Like, that's my concern.

[A]

Limited.

[C]

How much? Yeah, how much Tracy? Because a lot of what Cam Scatter was doing was like, because of him, right? Like, because he was playing. The Giants have a tough schedule rest of the way and although I do think Tracy's pretty good, I think I rat Lad is the best piece of that deal.

[A]

All right, next question here. I have Nico Collins, robodunze, Garrett Wilson, George Pickens said Nico and Pickens for CD Lamb. You want to take that upgrade?

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Is that too much to give though? Because then it just leaves you with a Dunze and Wilson who are not I mean Wilson's not healthy and a dunes a last couple games has not been great because Caleb Williams has not been great.

[C]

Well, June was good last week and he's facing the Bengals and Giants the next two weeks. So I like that.

[A]

All right, do you like the matchups there? Okay, let's go to cook Butter cheese question here. Lost Scabu traded Devonte Smith Dak Harvey for Jaylen Warren Baker Mayfield. I have may haul on a buy and Hanted on ir. Good trade or not Devonta Smith, Dak and Harvey and got back Jaylen Warren and Baker.

[C]

Okay so I like getting Jalen Warren. Let's say Dak and Baker is like a wash whatever. Although I think I'd like Dak a little bit more just because what he's done this year. So then Devonte and Harvey for Warren seems kind of like an overpay.

[A]

But I think Warren is steady. I just, you know I like.

[C]

I mean I like Warren a lot. I mean the Steelers are really feel.

[A]

Like you should have gotten up somebody better than Warren though. But it is what it is at this point. Who are some players you think will be traded at the deadline? This is from Coke Butter Cheese too.

[C]

She I think he's definitely getting traded.

[A]

Who would you say? I'm sorry, Rashid Shahid. Rashid Shahid. What about the fact Tony Pollard wasn't seen at practice today? Could that be a trade or is that an injury related thing?

[C]

No, I think that's also. I think it's more likely Pollard gets traded than Breeze hall does. So I don't think Breeze hall is going to get traded. Like that would be my guy that I think has been floated around enough. I don't think it's actually going to happen because I think Aaron Glenn sees Bruce hall and he's like if I trade this guy away, like I'm definitely going to not win more games. So.

[A]

Yeah, but I mean they need draft capital. They need more players than Breeze hall and I'm running back to one spot where they're good. They have Braylon Allen coming back next.

[C]

Year and Isaiah Davis but he's injured. Like how has he come back next year?

[A]

Like they're next year. Motor right. They're 20, 26. They're the Jets. They're one in seven. This is not good. Trey, Kincaid, Spears and Godwin for Bowers and Tracy. This is a roll of the dice that I do. I want Bowers and Tracy for sure.

[C]

Yeah, Yeah, I think that's good.

[A]

So that. I think that's a pretty easy one there. Next up Here is Josh. 6 and 214 team league QB rest of season. You like Penck, Flacco or Fields? Well, it can't be Flacco right now.

[C]

Flacco has the best schedule, but he's also injured, so I think. I mean, when Fields plays like he has the high ceiling because of the rushing, so I guess it's him. But I'm not conf.

[A]

Tough because he's on a buy this week too. Trade Sutton and Benson for a dun and Spears.

[C]

Yep, I would do that. All right.

[A]

I like Sutton the most of any of those four players, so I wouldn't do that. But I don't love Benson, so my concern with him makes me okay with it. Peter's next here. Hey, fellas. Traded Tez for Benson. Start JCM or woody this week. JCM's got a terrible matchup against Seattle this week.

[C]

Yeah, I think Jason Seattle's gonna be on the bench, so I think Woody. That's also a bad matchup for him. But he does catch passes and JCM doesn't catch passes. So I would go Moody Marks. I like the Benson for. I mean, Tesla's a waiver wire guy. He just traded for a potential running back, so I think that's smart. And then Watson or Franklin standard league?

[A]

I want Watson. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Like. Like the Franklin, like Franklin monster last week. It's not happening this week against the Texans.

[A]

Like, good news for the Panthers. Bryce Young was a full participant in practice. So I guess they've. I guess they said, listen, kid, I don't care how bad that ankle is, you better tape that up. Because Andy Dalton was that bad this past week. He was terrible. Turn turning over machine all over the place. Zachary's up next here. Sutton and Nicks for Amman. Raw.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

I have may quarterback. Yes. 100%. Yes.

[C]

Brilliant. Trade Zachary.

[A]

Smash. Smash prime is beast. And hey, y'. All. Howdy. Ppr. Trade Ferguson for Judkins or Dowdle.

[C]

Judkins.

[A]

Okay. And then need RB help. And Warren is my other tight end. You know, it's funny, we're looking at Joe. Even though Judkins missed the first couple weeks of the season, he is still top 11 in touches for anybody this year. I thought that was a shocking statistic. We found out like yesterday on the show. Michael. Mr. Morowitz here. Gibbs and Tyler Warren for CMC and Chase Brown.

[C]

No, not. Not with this Joe Flacco thing. Like, I. I'm, like, not gonna recommend people to buy Bengals. I don't know. Like, do you feel different? Do you think this is a buy the dip or is it is like the scary thing? Because if he goes down like, this offense goes back to Jake Browning.

[A]

I think it does. Yeah, it is. Look, I'll say this. You know, Jake Browning a couple years ago was bad against good defenses and halfway decent against bad one against bad defenses. So now I just. Who are they playing this week? This is Cincinnati has who again? I just went out of my head.

[C]

So it's a terrible defense.

[A]

Look, I mean, you also have to worry about the CMC workload, too. Is it worth dropping to stash Benson if you don't have an IR spot? The bench is Franklin, jmo, Purdy, Booty. Well, I don't need a second quarterback. If Purdy's my second quarterback, I would drop him for Benson.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah, that's the first guy off the island. Franklin would be the second guy off the island. I just. The last week was the week to own Franklin. Next up here is 4 and 4, no PPR. Want to trade Jordan Love and an RB to move up a tier. Running back is Henry Irving, J. Will Vidal, and Dowd. All the wide receivers are Rice, Adams, Sutton, Tet, BTJ and qj. So want to trade Jordan Love, running back to move up. So how do you want to do this here? You want to just get rid of Irving and try to get somebody more stable here in the next couple weeks ahead?

[C]

Yeah, I think that works. I mean, I would trade pretty much any of these running backs. Would love to get Rice on my team.

[A]

Well, they have Rice on their team already.

[C]

Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, you're right.

[A]

Trying to move up. See here, I got to tell you something here. Looking at this here, you know, you've already got King Henry, who's getting Lamar back. Now you've got Irving coming back. You got Javante Williams and Vidal, and then Dowd has got a bad matchup this week, but I think everybody realized that Dowdle is the guy. And now that Bryce Young is coming back, I don't think you have to move up a tier. I think you stay put, and if you deal Jordan Love, just, you know, why don't you. Why don't you move up a tier, Wide receiver, trade Ted McMillan or BTJ with Jordan Love and see if you can move up There. That's what I would do.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I think that running back room is pretty good. Like if. Theoretically.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, back.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I mean. And Vidal's holding it down. In the meantime, Luke is up next here. 14 team league. So a little bit deeper trade, which running back without killing my depth here. So the running backs are cmc, Javante, Jalen, Warren, Benson, atn. Look, Benson's the guy that has more theoretical value than actual value, so Benson is the guy that I would trade. How about you?

[C]

Yeah, either Benson or Etna.

[A]

Okay, next question here we have rdd Supros traded. Let's see. Josh, Allen, Chimera for Rice and Swift last week. I also have Dak already. So basically it was Camara for Rice and Swift. So this is a smash. You did great. Do I try to flip Swift And a wide rece plus a wide receiver for Judkins, Swift and Myers. More Pierce Watson. I would let them pick any one of those guys to move to Judkins or. Yeah. Nope. That's what you do. Forget about injury insurance. You're. You're good. You got enough there here, boy. They're coming in quickly now here too, so super flex. Excuse me, super chats. By the way. We will cut them off at some point, so just keep an eye on those. Seth, let me know when we get to the trigger point. I think we're closing in. Lily's up next. Walker or Knight for this week in ppr, I will go with Ken Walker. Okay, next up here. Cher's question here is there. Do you believe in life after love? That's the question from Cher. Andrew, do you? Okay, the football question is half ppr. Bijan for a Chan and Odunze or London and Montgomery. I want Bijan on both of those deals.

[C]

That sounds like. I was like, pass. You can't.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You can't be selling Bijon after two stinker. Like, that's like, just. No, like, no, no, gotta keep.

[A]

That's a frustration trade that you learn to regret. I think two weeks later, should I.

[C]

Don't tilt trade. You gotta just shut the computer off, walk away.

[A]

Should I try to trade Chris Godwin? You can try. I just don't know what you're gonna get for him. There might be some people that think after the break, he comes back healthy. I think now is probably the best time to trade him because it's still theoretical.

[C]

Could you trade Chris Godwin for Juwan Jennings?

[A]

Probably. Maybe that's what I would do. Would you trade him for. Would you trade him for Christian Watson.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, I think Watson is.

[A]

More upset than Godwin does, so I do too. That's why I brought it up. But on paper that looks like a one sided trade for Godwin, but I don't know if it is necessarily. Gentlemen, thoughts on Vidal rest of season. Trade away Adams and Vidal for Barkley and Bigsby. I'm 6 and 2. So you want the Eagles backfield or do you want Adams and Vidal?

[C]

I'm not the person to ask for trading for Saquon Barkley. Like, it's just, it's tough for me to get.

[A]

Neither am I. I have no.

[C]

I, I have no. But I understand that there's like a price with every kind of player to acquire. So I think that this is fair for the Eagles running backs. Obviously Vidal does have a shelf life in terms of Hampton comes back, he's probably going to be phased out, but right now, like he has a lot of actual value. Again, talking about like theoretical value, like Fidel's actually scoring fantasy points for you, which is good. You're 6 and 2. I guess if you're. If you feel like you're pretty good in a good spot right now, I think maybe going ahead to the Eagles. I don't know, Joe, is this, is this a smash for you or is it kind of like.

[A]

It's not a smash for me. Look, this is a deal that I make if I have great wide receivers. And I mean, I'm just loaded. I got Rushy Rice back. I got like, I'm just stacked. Adams is my third or fourth guy then. Okay. Because then I'm solidifying running back. But that's the only way I do this deal because I'm not sold on the fact that Vidal just automatic Hampton just comes back healthy at all, let alone healthy enough to go for it here. So like I said, I'm not looking to move that make that deal necessarily. Especially Bark has got a groin injury. They could tell me all they want that it's fine. I. I didn't. Didn't look very fine when it happened.

[C]

Yeah. So that was concerning the Eagles run game again. It's looked good against the Giants like that. And that's about it. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And that includes Tank Bigsby too.

[A]

Like Chick is up next year. I traded Sutton and Marvin Harrison for Devonte Adams. How did I do?

[C]

I think that it's fine. You're definitely giving up like depth and Harrison plays Dallas this week, so maybe you would hold on for one more week because he should theoretically go off. Especially if Jacoby theoretically. But I get, I think it's good.

[A]

Return also star Pickens or London? Well, London might not be healthy, so right now I'll be leaning towards Pickens. How about you?

[C]

Yeah, I think, I think you guys gotta stay in the Pickens Flames like Dax probably gonna bounce back. And London also has Gonzalez this week, who's just a really, really good corner. You know, he's gonna match up with Drake, London, and I think that's a matchup too because Gonzalez is going to be all over London and you know, he's not one of these like, he's gonna have like five yards of separation. He'll win some contested, contested situations. But Falcons right now, the vibes are kind of not great. Penix is banged up. London's banged up with a hip injury. I think that Pickens has been good. So just keep playing Pickens.

[A]

Did we get any update on Kyler Murray yet this week?

[C]

So we had one thing with Jonathan Gannon saying they asked him about it in a meeting or one of the press conferences and he did not sound like overly optimistic that Murray was going to be playing on Monday night. Which again, off a bye week, I think is kind of like a red flag where, oh, no, we're ready to get Kyler Murray. Put him out against the Dallas Cowboys. Like he's going to smash. It was like, I mean, that's a hypothetical. Maybe he plays. We don't know.

[A]

It's like, okay, well, I hope he doesn't because I got Brissette in the Super Flex League and I really want to play him this week against Dallas. All right, Christopher is up next year. Trade CD and Warren for Chase and Dowdle right now. That's a very difficult trade. I think I want CD and Warren right now. Under the current guys of the news.

[C]

We got today on these Bengals guys. I don't know.

[A]

Yeah, especially because I got to see how bad this injury is.

[C]

Much of a discount. Yeah, I don't know.

[A]

All right, let's go to Mild's question. Hey, bros, just ready. Technic Mill and KW3 for Saquon. In my 14 team league. I have CD, Nico Waddle and Pierasol. How did I do? So Tet and KW3 for Saquon. I think that's a great trade even if you don't like Saquon. I think it's tremendous in a 14 team league because KW3 and tap McMillan don't move the needle. Saquon does. Saquon is capable of having those massive games. Ricky's up here. Trade Away my ppr Keenan or Debo for Rico Dowdle? I think either. But I'd prefer Debo because rest of season I'm always worried about him staying healthy.

[C]

Yeah, you gotta trade Debo.

[A]

Okay, there you go. I'm trying Andrew in the couple spots that I haven't left. Loud Bark, Trey, dk, Woody and Tez for CD Lamb. Sure. That's the classic pile up a bunch of crap for a great player, which I would laugh you out of the room there. Loud. Don't. Don't send me that. I. I just don't think that's enough for cd. I don't think that's a good trade for CD Lamb, personally. But what are you gonna do if you get it? Great. I would say, bro, if you sent me that trade, that's what I would say. Here's DK Metcalf and a bunch of crap for CD Lamb. Yeah, no, let's go. I'm three and five here. It hurts so bad. I have Bowers and Warren at tight end. I just traded Warren and Breeze for Genti and Nico. Does it. Does it still hurt so bad? I had Bowers and Warren at tight end. Just traded Warren and Breeze for Genti and Nico. I think that's pretty good.

[C]

Yeah, you just need these. You just need this crop of Nico, Genti and Bowers to hit like we thought they would hit the beginning of the season. Like. Like you're. This is a classic. Like you're buying low on guys that have relatively versus expectation, underperformed the first eight weeks, but guys that we do believe in. So if the Raiders can come out guns blazing out of the bye week, maybe. Who knows? Yeah, I think that this is a good deal to make as a 3 and 5 team.

[A]

Let's get to. Sorry, not a trade question. That's okay. Abram wants to know. Lost, Scatter. Boo. Pick up Brown, Walker, Bill Mason or Marks in the half. Ppr. Chase Brown, I guess. I mean, Chase Brown would still be the guy I'd want.

[C]

Yeah, again, like, again, you would figure that if it is Jake Browning or a limited Joe Flacco, they will lean on the run game a little bit more. And the Bears can't stop anything regardless if it's a run game or pass game. So you could see Chase Brown having a decent outing here. So I think that I would just pick up Chase Brown and see how this kind of shakes out.

[A]

All right, last question there. Ppr, atn, Harvey Mason, Bill Vidal or Marks. Who do you want to play that? I mean, I play 18 here this week. I think that's the safest. Or no Vidal. Pardon me? I forgot Vidal was in that mix. Titans, baby.

[C]

Vidal half their secondary this week.

[A]

The only quote that Seth found about Kyler Murray was he's doing quote unquote better. So we'll see what that means. All right, we are going to cut off right now at 20 minutes into the show. At 3:20, officially, the super chats from Guarantees. So please don't drop any more. We can't guarantee we have enough time to answer them all, but don't worry because we've got tools for you as well, including the Trade Analyzer, which is a tool that you can use to evaluate trades in your league and crush your competition. That's what you want to do. Make the moves here before the real NFL trade deadline by downloading the Fantasy Pros app, syncing your leagues for free, and using the Trade Analyzer, one of the many incredible tools at Fantasy Pros. So don't make a move before you use that trade analyzer. All right, next up here is Dominic, our friend here from Las Vegas we hung out with last year. I have TMac, Nico, Waddle, and Pitman. Other guy has Kyron, Javante, JT and Swift. I need a running back. What's the trade to make? So TMac, Nico, Waddle, and Pitman. The other guy is Kyron, Javante, J.T. and Swift. Well, I'd love to get Jonathan Taylor, but I don't know if you could do that.

[C]

I don't. Yeah, I mean, I just assumed that no one would trade away JT So I don't even suggest ideas to do it.

[A]

Breaking news, Terry McLaurin re injured his quad and is out for week nine. So there you go, another late contract holdout. Another late contract season that never comes to fruition. You could set your watch to it every year. The longer they hold out, the more time they miss in the season. Every single damn year. It's unbelievable. Glad he got paid, though.

[C]

Yeah, he got paid. So as long as he's happy, that's all that matters. I would say so. Among these running backs, who do I want the most? It's probably Javante.

[A]

How about TMAC for Javante? That's a deal I'd make.

[C]

Yeah, I think that could work. Nico for Javante. I'd be fine. Honestly, I think.

[A]

I don't. I don't want to trade Nico. I want to keep Nico. I think Stroud is getting comfortable again. Nico is a very good player.

[C]

He's going to be uncomfortable against Denver's pass rush this week.

[A]

It's all right. That's fine. Tmac T Mac is the guy that I want to well remember Denver also is missing a key guy on the secondary. Let's not forget he's out.

[C]

So they still got a nasty pass rush of the Texans offensive line.

[A]

Still can't they do Adams for Sutton? I mean I'd rather have Adam. It's kind of lateral. I think I'd rather have Adams too. Even with Puka back. Right.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Start one PPR Stevenson or Charbonnet? Ugh, gross. I will start Charbonnet Ramandre Stevenson not started. It's probably the practice today. By the way.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

That's good.

[C]

Someone in the chat was saying that he's gonna get traded and I don't know if that's the case I think because what I was reading Patriots want to trade for another running back which if they brought in Tony Pollard. Oh my God, please, please.

[A]

Trayon Henderson's just starting to do stuff. Why would we do that?

[C]

Of course they got to trade for another running back.

[A]

I don't believe that at all. I don't believe that at all. Well, I understand depth wise. Maybe they want because Gibson was out like that. I get if they're trying to pick up a depth guy that's fine.

[C]

I mean if Tony they get Tony Pollard for.

[A]

He's not a depth guy.

[C]

His. His salary hit next year is really not much like it's not a lot to get. Why it's easy for teams to trade.

[A]

For him, I guess. Bobby. Howdy. Trade Waddle and Judkins for Jefferson and Bam Knight.

[C]

I.

[A]

No, Jefferson's the best player in the deal but the problem is his quarterback situation is really sketchy right now.

[C]

Yeah, I. I would rather. I mean Bam Knight. I don't know how long he's gonna have value for. I mean that could be over.

[A]

Yeah, the bam part is too much. I say no too. I'm with Andrew.

[C]

I mean I. I mean Waddle is. He's had one bad game since Terry co got hurt. He's been really, really good with tua. So I would keep Waddle and Judkins, you know, as a monster. He talked about how many touches he's getting this year as long as he's healthy out of the bye week.

[A]

All right, King Andrew has a question. Hey pros. I have Gibbs, Moni, Bam Benson, Hunt and Tyrone Tracy. Should I trade Hunt and Tyrone for a chan? Sure, but I don't think you can. But opponent has Pacheco and Had scattered. Look, I get it. Maybe desperation. Somebody makes a bad move like that, good luck. I would say you pull that off. Should I take a flyer on Short Smith over J.K. dobbins? No.

[C]

Like this week or rest of like just this?

[A]

I assume this week.

[C]

No, I think I gotta play Dobbins. Sorry.

[A]

I agree. Let's go to Mr. Daniel's question here. Daniels has Daniels and Sutton for Hunter and Lamar. Oh, interesting. I just traded for Hunter today. I traded Jordan Mason for Travis Hunter in a league where I had enough running backs to make that kind of move. I think rest of season it's the league I do with my daughter who this is her fantasy league that she does every year and she loves Travis Hunter. So I was like, all right, you like Hunter. Let's see if I can get Hunter for Mason. And I did. I was happy with it. I like getting Lamar and Hunter personally. I think. I think Lamar is just that higher standard than anybody. Daniels is great. Lamar is still up here for me and like that rarefied air.

[C]

This just. This seems like the commanders, like she's just going in the complete wrong direction with everything. After last year they were just sun running and this year they are moon running or whatever you want to call it. The opposite moon walking is what they're doing.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And yeah, I finally bet beat Seth to a piece of news there that usually he's ahead of me on the news. That's why I have my fancy pros app open at all times because I get the news, little updates on all my players and stuff like that. So Unfortunately I have one or two McLaren chairs and of course I haven't been able to use them all year and I took them at an extreme discount and I'm still irritated about it. Daniel D. Swift for Devonte Adams. I want Adams always. So that's easy for me. I don't care what the situation is. Go get Manangai too. If he's out there. Pick one wave for rest of season. Slayton Pierce or Watson? Watson for me. How about you, Andrew?

[C]

This one is tough because I feel like this is the spider man with these vertical receivers. Am I not wrong here? Like, they all seem like the same guy where they just pop off randomly. I don't think that any of these guys is like an alpha.

[A]

They are. Well, here's what I go to. Watson plays with Love. Pierce plays with Daniel Jones. Slayton plays with Jackson Dart. My confidence level in love is higher than any of the other two. So I'm just going to go that Route That's. I'm picking ecosystem here. That's how I'm doing.

[C]

I think we could all probably agree like who has the most talent of those receivers. It's probably Watson, right? Would you agree with that?

[A]

Theoretically, yeah. But I mean his health has been terrible. So now you've already passed that his first game. He looked pretty good. He did.

[C]

So, yeah.

[A]

I traded away Justin Jefferson and George Kittle for Quin, Sean and Bijan. So those three guys, I have Kyron, Jamar Chase. I already have Jamar Chase and Dalton Kincaid, Nico and Drake. London a little worried about London's health. I'm a little worried about Jamar Chase right now in that situation. But I can't say no to getting Bijon for Justin Jefferson and then Quinchon for Kittle is fine. Depending on who you have taken over at tight end. I'm okay with this. I'm at peace with this. Everybody wants to trade Bija. It looks like there's a window open.

[C]

Well, to get Bijan on the trade show that Bijan would have been my buy low but I thought I would be ridiculed by suggesting that he was even a potential buy low candidate. But.

[A]

Well, considering all these. Well, this live stream is proving otherwise. A mechag Buka for Jalen Warren already of jsn Jefferson, Rice and Sutton. Don't trade a mecha Buka for Jalen Warren. No, just keep rolling with these big wide receivers.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

How about Sutton? Will you Sutton for Warren?

[C]

I would rather do that. Yeah.

[A]

Okay. So there you go. King Andrew's back again. Another one. Give hunt Bam and McMillan for Puka.

[C]

Sure.

[A]

Good luck with that. I'd laugh you out of the room. Think about the other perspective.

[C]

Let's. I want to see these happen. I hope they. I hope these deals work.

[A]

There's no way you're getting that. No way I'm trading Puka for that got offered London for Pickens. This is interesting here. Rest of season. You know, I have to say I think with Pickens looking to get paid and the way this offense is running with Dak and the way Atlanta has been very spotty up and down and Pennix's health is kind of in question. This is not a crazy question. I think I might even be leaning towards Pickens and I don't like saying it.

[C]

I just.

[A]

Andrew. Andrew is speechless. This is a hard thing because on the audio side of the show there's going to be too much dead air. So at least got a filibuster as you're making Potential, you know, moves here. That's what you got to do.

[C]

London, Pickens. You're taking Pickens. I. I don't know if I have a. I think I don't have a side in this battle. It's too close again because London's injured. That's kind of why I can't say he is the. If London was healthy, I would take London. So monitor the injury reports.

[A]

Yeah, I'm going pickings there. Felix is 6 and 2. Need wide receiver, right? Gibbs, Bucky, Mason, Dowdle, Isaiah Davis, Burchard Smith. You got a lot of running back depth. Garrett, Wilson, Ridley, Booty. Yeah, you need wide receiver. Okay, so look, you want to keep Gibbs and I'll be honest with you, like Bucky, I still want to keep Mason I think is up for grabs. I'd love to keep Dowdle if I can but Rashard Smith, spears Mason, whatever those combinations, you can get there and move, you move and you go ahead. So I want to keep Bucky in this scenario because I think Bucky outperforms all those guys if he's healthy. But if Bucky can bring you back the immediate wide receiver to help, I'm okay with that too because I still like Dowdle moving forward. But the problem is none of these guys are reliable really. So after Gibbs, that's my big problem. Bucky would be theoretically. So I would like to keep Bucky if I can. Mason, look, I just. I just moved Mason for something. If you could move Mason and Burchard Smith for something, I think you do that. What do you think, Andrew?

[C]

Yeah, I like those types of deals. I would say I would take advantage of Knicks having two monster games back to back. You already have Daniel Jones. I think that's fine as your quarterback. So pairing Knicks with Mason to go up even higher at wide receiver if again, if the Ibuka manager has a bad quarterback, you want to be making deals with them to try to get Ibuka on your team. Getting two Buccaneers using Bo Nicks as a part of that deal because I think that he's a pretty obvious sell high candidate after he just posted too. I mean basically you could sell high on any quarterback after they face Dallas because chances are they probably won't have as good of a game against anybody else the rest of the way.

[A]

Yeah, I can understand that. Let's get to the next question here. What we have, we have Marquis alley is up next. Your Gibbs for CD Lamb. I have Warren, Atn Marks, Prashard Smith, Manangai wide receiver room is London, Nico Pierce all Watson and IUK 14 team leagues. So these are tricky when you're dealing these big players here. So basically it's who would you rather have rest of season and do you think that they have enough here at running back? So I, I assume they're trading Gibbs for CD is what I'm getting here because I know he leaves you with Warren and atn. That's okay. The wide receiver room is pretty good. So if looking at this roster, what side of that deal do you want? Do you want CD or Gibbs? Because it's kind of unclear which one they're getting.

[C]

Yeah, this one is close because London, Nico and CD land. That would be an elite trio among wide receivers. But then, I mean I like Warren rest of season ETN I'm probably worried about. And then you have a bunch of rookie running backs. So I think that I for this specific roster, I think I would lean on getting Lamb banking on London and Nico having strong second halves after kind of like meh beginning to the season and then banking on Warren to be my veteran guy. And then just one of these rookie running backs breaking out like this happens all the time. Rookie running backs break out in the second half of the year. You got three shots on net, only need one of them to kind of fill in that RB2 role. Just because I do have concerns about ETN rest of season. So I think I would prefer Lamb among for this team.

Next up here is HF Daniels. Question here. Fannin and Tet for Kraft and Hunter. So I want the Craft and Hunter side. I don't buy you.

[C]

Always. Yes. Tucker graft.

[A]

I know. I mean you're the Tucker graft guy. What's up guys? This is from DJ Vince here. Hold btj, Bucky T Mac. Trade or hold them.

[C]

Trade btj. Hold Bucky. Buy tmac. There you go.

[A]

Oh my goodness. Look at you making it into a game. Evan's up. Next up, gents, Kareem Hunt or Vidal this week. I would still want to play Vidal. Hunt is so touchdown dependent here. Would you pick up Tucker, Pierce, Malik Washington or Parker Washington? Any of those guys worth picking up for you, Tucker?

[C]

Because I think that, I mean Tucker does have a three touchdown game on his resume this, this year somehow.

[A]

Would you play them over QJ.

[C]

Because.

[A]

I think that's the question here.

[C]

Question. I think. Yeah, because I think we're going to get like Jacoby Myers is probably going to be inactive because he's probably going to get traded and Trey Tucker against the Jags, it's a decent matchup and Trey Tucker's been.

[A]

Do you think he's inactive or do you think they've got to show that he's healthy before they trade him?

[C]

I think that if they want to trade him, they won't risk getting him injured.

[A]

It's fair. And then pick three from Dowdle, Hubbard, Charbonnet P. Ryan Dobbs, Pierce or dk. Full ppr.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Hubbard are in a bad spot here.

[C]

I'm probably still gonna start dabo though, just because of the other options. I still think he's good probably and he should see the majority of work. And then probably probably Dubs Romeo Dubs against Carolina also too. Remember Devonte Adams? He was injured before he got traded and he magically got healed last year.

[A]

Everything heals right, you get traded. Love the show for years. Thanks. Appreciate you there. Fire. Been listening close to Joe And Andrew was able to flip May for Swift and cleared out Seattle backfield for Egbuca. Great. Oh, I love the second one. That's definitely a win. So, I mean, I like trading Drake May, but I don't know who the other quarterback is replacing. So if you have two quarterbacks and you had somebody else who was pretty decent, that's fine. I mean, Drake May's playing out of his mind, but still, if you have like, just a serviceable other quarterback, you should be okay. But I love the Ibuga trade. Right, Andrew?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Love getting Buka. Can't give an A plus trade to moving away from Drake May, but B.

[A]

Plus, no, that hurts my soul a little bit. But again, they need the context. If you said Baker Mayfield on that team too, it's fine. Like, if you still had Dak Prescott on that team, it's fine. Herbert, any of those guys. Yeah. All right, look at me over here. Hey, pros, I'm 4 and 4 PPR. I want a top five running back. Thinking of sending RB in the side package here. So Lamar Stafford, jsn, jj, Tet Downs, Booty. Those are the pieces we have. Yeah, you're definitely hurting at RB after Henry because all you got is, well, Dobbins is all right. KW3. So what would you suggest here in terms of movement? I want to get out of the Seattle business in the worst way.

[C]

Yeah. But I don't think anyone wants to buy into the Seattle business is the issue. I think Dobbins is probably the RB you have to trade to get at least up to a top five level running back piece. So I think maybe it would be. Again, I don't know what their other tight end is. So you probably don't want to trade Gadson. If you had another tight end, I'd say maybe one of the tight ends could be moved. Maybe it's Dobbins and Lamar to get a top. I mean, did that gets it done?

[A]

I mean, you could get Saquon for Dobbins and Lamar tomorrow. Probably.

[C]

I would. I. I think I'd. I would rather go for like Jacobs than Saquon, but that's fine.

[A]

Well, Jacobs is 100 healthy either right now. All right, let's go to. Yeah, Fell. Love the show. Thanks, fella. Appreciate you, man. Should I trade Roma Dunze for Kyron Williams and Jalen Warren? I would say yes.

[C]

Yeah. If you need running backs. Hey, DK London.

[A]

I have DK London, BTJ Breeze.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You need more help after Breeze?

[C]

If Bruce is your only guy basically this week they have Kyle Mananga. That's it.

[A]

Yeah, I got nobody. So, yeah, Zaheer, keep or trade George Pickens. And for whom. I've also got seed. I'm keeping Pickens right now unless you can put them on the block. And if you get blown away with an offer, that's cool, but I'm not probably just.

[C]

I think he's probably just a hold. Really. I don't think it is.

[A]

Looking to get paid, man. Guys.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Pickens is trying to get paid.

[C]

He's catching his way out of Dallas.

[A]

Random. Yeah. And then he's gonna get overpaid somewhere else. It's gonna be a disaster. And then the Cowboys gonna be right back to square one, too. Or looking out. Well. Well, we could use another pass rusher. We could use a pass rusher. And you know what? Kind of. Use another wide receiver there for CD Lamb. You know, somebody else will work on the other side of them. So kind of back to square one where we were in the beginning of last year. So up the creek without a paddle. That's where we are right now. All right, ten team ppr. Six and two. Three way trade here. Three way tie for first. Excuse me. Upgrades to target. I have quarterbacks, Hertz, Dart. Okay, well, you don't need the two quarterbacks. So right off the bat, like you could trade Dart. You do that. But obviously this week it's tough to do that because Hertz is on a buy. Javonte Williams, Breeze, Hall, Vidal, White and Bucky. Okay, so we're good there. And wide receivers are Puka, Garrett, Wilson, Tet Worth. Yeah, you need another wide receiver. That's definitely what you need here. So in this instance, if I had Bucky and White here, and eventually Bucky takes over White, I think Vidal is the now piece to move for me. Vidal can help a team right now that's struggling. Get a wide receiver for Vidal. How about you?

[C]

Could you flip Breece hall for a booger maybe?

[A]

Especially on the bye week. Sure, I would take. I would do that too.

[C]

But I would agree. Hall and Vidal are probably the trade pieces.

[A]

All right, next up here we have DJ Hype, Hypro. Should I trade Nico Collins for Devonte Adams? 10 team, full PPR. Who do you want? Rest of season, Nico or Devonte?

[C]

You gotta keep Devonte.

[A]

Okay, Devonte it is. Let's go to Paul's question. Who should I trade? 10 man PPR. Lad, Nico Sutton, London May, Dalton Kincaid Hunter, Henry Gibbs, KW3 Kyron, Woody Marks, and then Deandre Swift. So who should you trade in this 10 team league here, who is the odd man out? Look, I think London Lad, Nico Sutton's a really good group. May's really good quarterback. I think you have enough wide receiver depth here that London would be these the highest piece to move that. You could probably still survive it considering the depth you have. Especially if. If Sutton continues to play well and Lad continues to play well. Nico is healthy again like that's the, that's the big splash play here. The question is can you pull it off?

[C]

I think maybe I would look to. Looks like the weakest point here is tight end. Right. King Cade is their tight end. So I would try to trade Kincaid and like Swift to try to get up to tight end like the elite tier one of those elite tight ends because you're pretty stacked at running back like Henry Gibbs. Kyron like Walker's your RB4 like that's pretty solid. So that's what I would probably do. Or Swift plus one of those running backs to upgrade another receiver.

[A]

All right, Lily is up next here. Boswell a kicker and Wandell Robinson for Cardi and Irvin. So basically it's Wanda for Bucky. Irving said do it. Forget kickers. Doesn't matter though. Kickers are dime a dozen around these parts. Knick knack trade away Warren and Hertz for London and Herbert. So Jalen or is it Tyler Warren or Jalen Warren? That's the only question I have. Johnson and Rome and Dobbs does matter. It does matter. It does matter here because I assume it's Jalen Warren here.

[C]

I'd still rather have London and Herbert. I I mean Hertz and are Hertz and Herbert awash to you? I still rather have Hertz but it. I don't think it's like so far.

[A]

Well yeah they have Jalen Warren so they're getting London and Herbert is what they're getting because they, they feel like they have depth at running back and they're running back here and this move would be okay, so that's a yes for you there. Okay, let's go to Chris's question up here. What's up? I was offered a buka for Jalen Hurts. I lost scad when I'm four and four is Henry Pollard, Henderson, Harvey and then wide receivers are London. So look, so Jalen Hurt who is your replacement qb? That's the only thing I don't know.

[C]

I presume that they would just be going to streaming so.

[A]

Okay, well if you're just going to streaming I would still want Igbuka here especially because A.J. brown is hurt. Test hasn't been good and downs is not enough.

[C]

And London's also so so.

[A]

And London's also hurt.

[C]

You don't have any receivers to play this week, so yeah get by too. So that doesn't help.

[A]

Next up here I have wide receivers. Chase Waddle, Garrett Wilson, trade ideas for Vidal, atn, Genty, Warren. Look, Genti is theoretically Genti is the most talented by. By a long shot here. But the problem is his schedule isn't great. He's got two more games. The playoff schedule is not the best either. Vidal could be turning into a pumpkin. ATN is the guy probably that is safest to keep and so is Warren. I think Genti brings you back the most. So I would float all these guys out there and I'm okay starting these guys, but Genti I think is the one that brings you back the most. Vidal is the one that is the most uncertain going forward. All the other three have jobs. So that's how I look at this. How do you look at it, Andrew?

[C]

So I'd want to trade for a Warren. Like that's the guy that I like the most to trade for. And based on your wide receiver depth, I would trade McLaren. I mean, if you like your receiver debt, I mean, like is Pitman. Pitman for Warren probably works, right? Like that deal probably gets done. Pittman's been a touchdown machine. But if you feel good about the rest of your wide receiver depth, although McLaren's hurt again, Garrett Wilson is currently. I guess you have Chase of Waddle at the top, so you're pretty good at the top. So yeah, I would say Pittman for Warren probably gets it done. Or you could, I mean, you could try to shoot higher with Genti, with Michael Pittman Jr. I mean, Pittman's been a star this year catching a lot of touchdowns. So maybe you can actually get more throw dowdle in. Maybe you get Pittman dowdle for Genti, something like that. Maybe that could work.

[A]

All right, next up here we have after next question. We've got Jawan. Need running back help. I have Genti and nothing. Basically my wide receivers are Nico Drake, London, btj, JSN Kittle, and then Jaden Daniels. I'm a three wide receiver league. All right, so this is kind of tough right now. So. So basically nothing behind Genti. So Nico Drake, London, btj. Look, you don't need BTJ and London. You gotta trade one of those guys. I think those are the pieces that bring you back something else. Would you agree or disagree I would agree.

[C]

I would do BTJ for Jalen Warren.

[A]

Okay. BTJ for Jaylen Warren. That's good. That's. That's perfect. Next up here, we have Travis's question here. Eight team ppr. Running backs are Henry, CMC Tracy. Wide receivers are London, A, Dunes, A, Sutton, Johnson. Trade Henry, Q.J. mcMillan for Gibbs. What do you think of that trade?

[C]

Henry was the other guys. Sorry, the question's not pulled up here.

[A]

Hang on one second. Sorry. It didn't pull up.

[C]

No, I'm not seeing.

[A]

You don't see it. Oh, okay. How about now? Oh, there we go. There it is.

[C]

Yeah, I. I would just get. I'm cool, you know, trading away ancillary wide receiver pieces to get that top tier running back like Gibbs. So I'm fine with especially 18 league where you can probably get more depth at other positions and you have other receivers. So I'm cool with it.

[A]

Okay. Very good. Next up here, after Travis's question, we have another Hunter, Henry or Gadsden this week and rest of season. Should you drop one of them? How do you deal with these and then flex Jennings over Hunt or drop Jennings, play Hunt and stash Benson. All right, let's take that last part first here. So would you play. Would you play Jennings over Hunt this week?

[C]

Yeah. If Brock Birdie plays, I will play Jennings.

[A]

Okay. And if he doesn't, you play Hunt?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Okay. And if that case, if. If you're not playing Hunt, would you drop Hunt for Benson?

[C]

No.

[A]

Okay, and then the first part of this. Gadsden or Henry this week? And then what do you want to do with the rest of the season with these guys?

[C]

Gaston, this week and rest of season, I think that you can drop Henry. Henry's fine like, but the Patriots and Drake May, he's just shown that he likes to spread it out. So one week it's Henry week. The next week it's Booty. The next week it's Diggs. Next week it's Matt Collins. So hard to bank on. I think Henry's fine, like in a pinch, but Gadsden has shown this really high ceiling the last couple weeks, so I don't think that's going away.

[A]

All right, next up here we have HF again, JMO and Spears for btj.

[C]

I. I don't want to trade for btj, unfortunately. It's just. It's not good right now.

[A]

Why? Just health wise or just not what you like in the offense?

[C]

Just. Yeah, health wise. Not like what I've seen when he's doing in liancohen's offense, we're getting breadcrumbs that Travis Hunter is going to emerge as the number one wide receiver out of the bye week. That scares me. And this is not a great matchup for Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence, worst quarterback this year against zone coverage. Raiders, third in zone coverage this year. So not great.

[A]

Have Prescott in May. May and Tracy for Judkins. I think that's too much.

[C]

May and Tracy for Judkins. I mean, so this is one of those where you have a surplus. So it's like, you don't really feel like you're losing a quarter.

[A]

I mean, I guess, like, you didn't have Tracy the day before yesterday. So it's really just May for Judkins. It's May and a waiver wire claim.

[C]

Would you rather I. Would you rather move May or Prescott? I would rather keep.

[A]

I'd rather move. I'd rather move May. Prescott's just. Prescott's gonna throw 5, 000 yards this year. And I love May, but I just don't think he's gonna get quite there. I just don't know, you know, like, Tracy is fine and Judkins still plays on the Browns, and there's going to be another quarterback change happening. We don't know what that's going to look like. Like, that's coming down the pike in the next two weeks.

[C]

It's gonna be legendary.

[A]

You're gonna see Shador Sanders. I don't know what it's gonna be, but I don't. I don't love this deal. Like, I just. I just.

[C]

I don't.

[A]

It's not the worst, but Judkins plays on an offense that unfortunately just doesn't work. So as good as he is, it doesn't work. That's my problem.

[C]

You like the mindset of trying to move off one of those quarterbacks. Yeah. You do it in a different way.

[A]

Like, can you get somebody better? Like, that's what I'm trying to look at. All right, next is Gabriel. We have second in 10 team, full PPR. My wide receivers are Keenan, Tet, Sutton, rome, London, Watson. RBs are Cook, Camara, trade London for Josh Jacobs. Do you have enough wide receiver depth to do that move? I say I don't think you do.

[C]

Keenan Tet, Sutton, Rome, Watson.

[A]

I mean, maybe, I guess. I guess maybe you do. I mean, Watson's kind of like this flyer, but, I mean, I'd rather have Jacob's rest of season than London. The problem is, like, I just don't know if Keenan Tet Sutton, Rome is enough to get it done.

[C]

I feel like the combination of those guys, it is enough, right? Like alan, pop, probably McMillan's been really consistent again, not like a ceiling play just because he's on Panthers, but like he's been really consistent. And Rome we've seen had really big games.

[A]

So between those and then what, you move Bucky to the flex, Is that what you do?

[C]

Then when he comes back, Cook, Jacob, I mean Cook and Jacobs as your RB1, RB2, like that's pretty lethal. So I think I would do. And then also Drake, London again, both London and Jacobs are like a little bit banged up.

[A]

So yeah, BTJ sell for Ramandre Stevenson for pennies on the dollar. No, you can get more than for BTJ than Ramandre.

[C]

I would go for. Yeah, go for Jalen Warren. Like that's who I would go for. Even Chase Brown, like that's. That was the trade last week, right? I was like BTJ Chase Brown. Yeah.

[A]

As it worked out, Chase Brown was pretty decent. 10 team PPR, 3 and 5 trade for Pittman, DeAndre Swift, Nico Collins. Trade away Jamar, Chase, Crosby, Merritt and Williams. So you're getting Pittman, DeAndre Swift and Nico for Jamar. It's a pretty decent haul. It's not bad. I mean Pittman and Collins are solid. I think Swift is a startable running back every week. If you're trying to get out here before, you know, Winter comes here for Joe Flacco, I don't think it's the worst trade for Jamar Chase. I don't love it in a 10 team league, I feel like you should be able to do better. But it's not the worst. Pittman is.

[C]

Like that's what decides this deal.

[A]

Look to me, JCM and Jamo barely move the needle. So this is really a 3 for 1 deal and I think that's a pretty good 3 for 1 deal for Jamar. That's a cash in deal for Jamar if you just had it.

[C]

No, if you can get behind it, I can co sign.

[A]

It's not the greatest, but it's all right. By the way, Roman Dunes is dealing with a heel injury according to what's going on there. And DJ Moore did not practice again today.

[C]

Loveland is going to break out. This week is guaranteed.

[A]

Well, it's certainly a good situation.

[C]

It's the Bengals.

[A]

It's the Bengals. Yeah. All the coast and love on this week, everybody. Five and three half PPR 12 team league. Who to trade? You have JD5 here. You got Javante, got Spears, Hall, Sampson, Benson. And then you've got Amon, Ra, Sutton, Ricky Pierce. Those done nothing Flowers. Look, Flowers is back in action now because Lamar's back. I assume we're talking T. Higgins, not Jaden Higgins. And then Craft the tight end. Look, I want to move Ricky Pierce all. I've had it with him. Like, enough. Goodbye. I'm done. If you could put him and Spears together and get something, you could start every week. That's what I would try to do.

[C]

I would trade Breeze all.

[A]

Okay, there you go. Let's get going. A couple guaranteed supers left. We got four more to get to Tet, Chase, Brown, Spears and Nico for Nico and Bucky. Excuse me. So Chase Brown, Spears for Nico and Bucky. I want. You can get Nico and Bucky. That's great. And you're seven and one. Do it.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Tet, Chase, Brown and Spears. I want Nikki. That. That's how you win a league, right? Those guys get. If you get a Bucky healthy, forget it. Christian's up next. I traded Bijan for Bowers and Pickens, Worthy and Pollard for Dowdle this week, so. Traded Bijan for Bowers and Pickens, Worthy and Pollard. I'm a little confused about this word. There's a lot of ends and fours in here. Am I reading this correctly here for all four?

[C]

Okay, so I think it's one trade. So it's Bijan for Bowers and Pickens and then Worthy and Pollard for.

[A]

Worthy and Pollard for Dowdle. Well, I wouldn't have traded Bijan for Bowers and Pickens. I think that's a terrible deal.

[C]

First of all, you don't like that either. Yeah.

[A]

And then Worthy and Pollard for Dowdle. I think is a lot to give up for Dowdle, but I like Dowdle this week. I don't like him, but I'm sitting on the nun guy. It was already like. Yeah, I mean, you got Saquon, too. Like, I just would not have traded Bijan for that. I think you need to get more for Bijan. Just because he had a bad game or two does not mean he's not all world Still. Order these stashes, please. Benson, Henderson, Manangai, Davis. For me, it's Henderson, it's Davis, it's Manangai, it's Benson. That's my order.

[C]

What's yours? Henderson, Benson, Manangai, Davis.

[A]

Okay, Michael is up next here. Running backs are Dowdle, Pollard, Henry, Tracy, Shard, Smith, and Benson. Receivers are A.J. brown, Lamb, McMillan and Franklin. Should I use RBS to possibly get another receiver or who should I target with a running back to trade?

[C]

I would trade Tracy. And do you think you're tracing A.J. brown for a buga?

[A]

I think you could try. I think so. I think you can actually. Especially if somebody's RB needy. I think you couldn't do that. I like getting a buka. You know how I feel about him. Mr. Charton is up next here. Need wide receiver depth. Also QB recommendations for a trade. I have Mayfield, Stafford, hn, Kyron Hall, Jefferson, Sutton, Kelsey. That's what the team looks like. Two and five right now. Not a good. How are you two and five? I don't understand. Don't you? It's not. That's only seven games.

[C]

Hall has been up and down. Jefferson's been kind of. Not really a lot of ceiling games.

[A]

She can't be 2 and 5. We. Nobody gets a bye week in real fantasy.

[C]

That's true. Record, you're like, no, mathematically, this doesn't check out Erickson, look, if you're 2.

[A]

And 6, I don't know what you're doing here at this point. Look, I mean, Stafford, look, Mayfield's played really well. Look, he got HN this week with a good matchup. Kyron's back. You've had some bad bye week situations. This is a pretty good team. I think I just roll with it. I mean, it sucks to say that, but like, if you want to sell hall of that huge game. If he didn't help you win last week, he ain't helping you again. So, I mean, unless you want to cash in Jefferson for a bunch more pieces. But I don't know what else you'd get. It's kind of a weird time to sell them. You can't really sell them high.

[C]

I feel like I would say sell high on breeze hall for Ibuka. Right? Like, okay, I don't know if the jets are.

[A]

But you can't play Ibuka this week. And if you're 2 and 6, that's not going to help you. That's my only point.

[C]

Then trade for.

[A]

Then you're 2 and 7. Who's your.

[C]

Receiver you can trade for that's playing this.

[A]

Oh, Pickens.

[C]

No. Marvin Harrison Jr. Split in Dallas. That's you guys okay for. And he's got stocks pretty low.

[A]

Yeah, but it's like one week. I have Jordan, Mason, Debo and qj. Trade advice. Trade them all.

[C]

Train them all for.

[A]

If you could send those three guys for one good guy, you do it. That's. That's how I feel about that. And you might be able to do that. There might be a roster that's just riddled with injuries. This year's been brutal for injuries. Need drop one Franklin Watson, dk. Who'd you want? Chimney dk. Okay. He's played well, though. Gotta give him credit. Griffin traded Hall, Saint Brown, Canine for Bucky Javante and. And Adams. Te Adams. I think it's like, oh, Tay Adams.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Why'd you trim for K Adams while you're at it? Thoughts on this trade is 7 and 1. Trade a Hall, Saint Brown and K9 for Bucky Javante and Devonte Adams.

[C]

So you get Bucky, you get Javon.

[A]

Yeah. You gotta give away Saint Brown, which I don't love, but you did get a lot back. I. I like.

[C]

Pretty fair deal.

[A]

B plus. B plus you.

[C]

And also you're getting. I think. I think you're winning running back here, too, which I think is probably.

[A]

Are you definitely winning running back?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But you're losing wide receiver.

[C]

Yeah. But I think that in the grand scheme of your fantasy team, like, more people are hurting at running back, I think, than receiver. So I think that this is a net positive for your roster, even if you're downright receiver a little bit.

[A]

All right, let's get Richie's question in here. Non PP Armor wide receivers are jsn, Chase, Worthy, Pierce, Saw Watson. Arby's are Jacobs, Hall, Warren, Spears. I have bo. Well, that's. That's a problem. You should probably do deodorant and get, you know, take a shower once in a while. Richie. My QB tight end is McBride. Gads and craft. Why do you have those three tight ends? You got to trade these tight ends.

[C]

Yeah, you got.

[A]

Should I trade. Trade for Bijan and Herbert. Who should I trade for? Bijan and Herbert. So Bijan and Herbert, you want to.

[C]

Get here whatever tight end that they want. Like, make that part of it.

[A]

All of them.

[C]

Like, I don't know how you're not pulling your hair out every single week. Right. You're trying to figure out which tight end to pick. Man, they're all so good. So, yeah, I would just trade whichever one that they want. Make them make the decision. Probably either McBride or Kraft. I would probably trade McBride just because I think that Kyler coming back isn't.

[A]

I gotta be honest with you. I don't think this is the path for this team. I think Jacobs, hall and Warren is perfectly good running backs to go and win with. Just trade McBride for another wide receiver. Because now with this Joe Flacco news after Jamar, Chase and JSN, you don't have much going on there. Yeah, I mean, Watson, Worthy, Pierce, all is not great. McBride or Gadson, whoever somebody wants for a wide receiver, you need another wide receiver. Forget Bijan. You're fine. You're fine there.

[C]

You do McBride for Jefferson. Just straight up.

[A]

If you could do it, great.

[C]

I mean, I'm all for it. McCarthy's starting, right? Carson Wentz is gone.

[A]

Yeah. So I have Genti, Marvin, Harrison, Tet, CD Rice, Pier Saw and Chase Brown. Tet and Brown for Kyron and Camara. I don't think I want Camara right now.

[C]

I mean, Camara is playing on terrible offense and he might be injured. He can't trade for Camara right now.

[A]

Yeah, I'm. I'm in agreement on that one. I have a trade here for Chase, Brown and Tet for Kyron and Camara. Yeah, I think we already addressed that scenario there. All right, next up here, full PPR 12, team 3 and 5. Would you do either of these deals? Gibbs and Devonte, Adams for Booty or. Sorry. Gibbs and Devonte Adams or Booty for Rice and Genti.

[C]

Are Adams and Booty like value?

[A]

How are they the same level? I don't know. Well, let's. Let's say Gibbs and Booty for Rice and Genti.

[C]

Actually, wait, let me help it.

[A]

I want Gibbs, you know, I still.

[C]

Want Gibbs and Adams for Rice and Genti. I think Gibson, Rice. Let's cross them out. So I'd rather have Adams than Genti. I think so. If it's Booty, I like.

[A]

Sure. Like, I like deal number two. I want. I want Judkins and get rid of Wandale, Pearsall and Marks for Judkins. That's a win. Oh, yeah, because that's just a bunch of pieces.

[C]

You should have put the number two deal as the number one.

[A]

Number two trade is. Yeah. All right, let's go to HF's. Last question here. Daniel's Dowel, Chase Brown, Tet fan in for Warren, Lamar, Kyron and Bateman. Well, Bateman's a non factor here for me. So Warren, Lamar and Kyron for Dan. So Lamar is better than Daniels. Dowdle and Warren I think could be similar the rest of season, especially because that split workload. And then you're also getting Chase, Brown, Tet and Fannin for Kyron Williams. So that's a lot of bodies here. So it's just a matter of you like depth or you like the better players.

[C]

That's what this is about here, I think that. I think I. Because the other thing is that we're.

[A]

Not getting to keep Lamar. I want the Lamar side.

[C]

That's kind of what I was settling on, too, because we don't see the. Like, there are other parts of this deal, right? There's another piece added on because you're getting a roster spot and we don't know if Bateman is really going to be part of that roster. And also like to, like, I mean, game Lamar back. Like, who knows? Maybe Bateman could do something with Lamar Jackson as quarterback. So I think Lamar is the best piece. So, yeah, that's the side I would agree on as well.

[A]

All right, next question up here. Does Pete Carroll get fired after Sunday? No, I don't think he does.

[C]

I don't.

[A]

I don't think they fire P. Carroll in season.

[C]

They just. I think it's more of like, it's just one and done situation.

[A]

Probably give me a lot of one and dones. The jets will be one and dones. Lots of one and dones. All right, Trey, Sean. Trade advice to get some stable running back, or am I okay? Traded James Cook for Aman Ross. St. Brown. My running backs are Benson, Walker and Vidal. I. I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think that was trading James Cook from that running back room. I don't feel very good about Andrew. How do you feel? I mean, look, the wide receivers are great. JSN Jefferson. I'm on Raw. That's great. I mean, if you could flip Olave right now for another running back, that's what I would do. Like, I. I get it. You got almond raw. That's cool. You wanted to get almond raw, but you got to turn around, make another deal with Olave right now for an rb, would you? What? Or what running back would you want for him?

[C]

Jalen Warren.

[A]

Okay, you just watch it. That's the answer to everything today.

[C]

Well, let me. I do a trade show where I have to pick running backs to buy and sell, and Warren was my pick this week. So that's just. It's an easy answer.

[A]

So it's just an easy answer there. All right, everybody. The easy answer sometimes is the right answer. That's what we know here. Let's see if we can get another question or two in here. Let's get this one in. H13 10 team PPR Los Scataboo. Got Baker and Stafford, Kyron Judkins, Jack, Chase, Brown, Dowdle, Woody. We've got Rushy Rice, Garrett, Wilson, Marvin Harrison Flowers. So it's a lot of meh got offered Bijon Igbuka, Quentin Johnson for Rushy Rice and Flowers. I take that deal. You're getting. Yeah, it's fine. Rushy rice, kyron and flowers. And you're getting Bijan and egg buko. That's fine. I do that. Yeah, well, whatever. QJ is whatever. @ this point, I think you still gotta get.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, you get. If you get a chance to get Bijan. If you, you have a chance to buy low on Bijan after two, you know, bad games, I think you got to take advantage of it. So.
