Andrew Erickson there's lots of trade questions flowing in very quickly here to the program, so let's jump in with two feet with Messer. Grim traded Walker and Johnston for Breeze Hall. How did Messer do?
Andrew Erickson
I think that it's a high risk, high reward type of deal. Seems like Walker's kind of stuck in a committee so there's nothing really to change there. Johnson a lot of target competition dealing with that injury coming back. Breeze plays on the jets but maybe not next week. He plays on the jets so. And he plays the Bengals this week so it's a good matchup. So yeah, I think it's a high risk, high reward type of deal.
Joey P
Messer sent me this one in discord a fancybros.com chat and I told him I don't like any of this trade. I don't want. I like any of these players going anywhere. I don't like it. Find something else. Next one from Coke, Butter Cheese Trade Scatter Boo Devonta Smith for cook and waddle.
Andrew Erickson
Cook and waddle. Scout and boo Smith. I think I prefer the cook and waddle side.
Joey P
Okay. Not worried about the waddle health at all.
Andrew Erickson
Is he on the injury report this week? I know you got banged up at the end of last week. I mean, he's always dealing with something.
Joey P
Fair enough. All right. Sometimes you got to deal with TUA too, more than anything. Ted and Bowers for Odunze and Pacheco. Ppr. I already have Craft.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I like that deal.
Joey P
Everybody wants. Oh, dunes is like. Nobody wants a dun right now. We took so many dunes a questions yesterday. Was he on your podcast yesterday?
Andrew Erickson
By. Yes.
Joey P
Yeah. Okay, excellent. So everybody else is trying to sell him off.
Andrew Erickson
He has. He has one bad game, and geez.
Joey P
People are just relentless. I saw him get Spike dropped in a league. Somebody told me. They sent me the thing I couldn't believe. I told Debro yesterday. I was like, who dropped Roma dun? That's insane, because they said, how much fab do I spend? I was like, all of it. Like, I don't know what to say. That's not Danny boy. Ppr. We are Puka Chase, jsn, Ted. It's pretty good right there. We get rb, though. Should I trade Tet for Genti? I'm good with that. It's gonna hurt you this week because you got Puka and JSN on a buy, so you got to have a plan for it. But I'm okay with that trade in theory. How about you?
Andrew Erickson
Yes. Also okay with that trade.
Joey P
Also, Flex Jennings are golden this week.
Andrew Erickson
Jennings is really, really tough to trust because again, we don't know who's playing wide receiver for the 49ers. We don't know who's quarterbacking. I mean, right now, I'm gonna just play golden because I know he's playing the Steelers and Jordan loves his quarterback.
Joey P
So if it's Purdy, I would play Jennings. But it's early yet. Ty Kimmins. I'm 4 and 3 in RB. Hell, who can I trade for starting RB? I have May, Camara, Menangai, Harvey, Nico Ladd, TMac, Rice, Shahid, and Bowers. All right, so RB. Hell, well, Camara's gonna get the full workload. We know that. Would Nico be the guy to deal now that Rushy Rice is back? The problem is he's hurt. That's. That makes it a challenge.
Andrew Erickson
Right now, I think you probably. You probably want to trade either tmac or Lad. I mean, unless you want to trade Rice for a Jonathan Taylor esque type of player, like a top tier running back, that's the move that you could try to make. But if you're trying to spend a little bit less t Mac would probably be the guy that I would look to to deal. I mean, I'd like to trade away Camara for a better running back. Personally, I don't think he's going to get every single touch in that backfield. So. I mean he still has value. It's not like he's gonna get zero points. So.
Joey P
Yeah, but if you're hurting an RB and trading Camara is tough because then you got you kind of right. We're back where you were. You want to move Camara to the second spot. I don't think Rice is going to get to Jonathan Taylor. I wouldn't trade Rice. I would trade TMac or Nico. Maybe just off name brand recognition. Despite the injury. Maybe you can get somebody to bite on that, especially a team that's got a good record. Jessica. Sorry, I have another one. Smith or Manangai in my flex. Thank you so much.
Andrew Erickson
For me?
Joey P
No. Okay, next his Cali kid. Full ppr. Need one to start this week. Gadson or Otten? I'm starting Gadson tomorrow night.
Andrew Erickson
I think I'm going on.
Joey P
By the way, the Gatson numbers 43 and a half already for his receiving yard. So Vegas thinks he's going to be part of that wide receiver group basically. I mean he might be a tight ended name but I think he's more of a wide receiver in terms of play. I was offered a trade. Mahomes worthy for May and Igbuka. I have ajqj, all the Jays, Sutton and Garrett Wilson. You want the Mahomes worthy side of the Meg Buka side? I want the Meg Buka side.
Andrew Erickson
I agree.
Joey P
Yeah. Let's go. Appreciate you, Zach. Next one up here is Alejandro. High pros PPR 3 and 4. Please evaluate this roster or this trade. I should say JCM and JMO for Chase Brown and Brian Robinson.
Andrew Erickson
Do they have McCaffrey? Is that CMC? Mostly CM. CMC right now, yeah.
Joey P
I assume it's not CMS. That sounds like something you learn when you're like doing CPR training or something. It's like a certification you get.
Andrew Erickson
Alejandro, I don't know how you've gone seven weeks of seeing McCaffrey and now you're just deciding to try to trade for Brian Robinson, like get him on your roster now because he's untouched for 7000 touches this year. So get him on your team.
Joey P
It's a lot of touches. Zach S. Wide receivers are Puka, Amon, Ron Nico, Brian Thomas, Olave. Arby's are the following here. Trade Olave for Chase Brown, ATN or Breece Hall. So who would you want back if you were trading Olave? Would you rather trade Brian Thomas also.
Andrew Erickson
Just out of curiosity, Andrew Brian Thomas. I don't know. I mean, I don't know if anyone wants him though, because he's on a bye week. He's injured, at least Olave, I mean, he's. He's producing something. But this person needs running back help. I mean, Hampton's injured and then Harvey's their next best guy. Pollard, they've had both Titans running backs, which means they have no running backs. So that's problematic. It's either Chase or Bree for me. I mean, Chase Brown was my buy this week on the show. I think he has a great schedule rest season. Facing the jets this week. And we're seeing. I mean, everyone else has seen the uptick, really, with a ton of Fanny's production. Chase Brown obviously was good against the Steelers, but I think that he still has room to grow here. So I think Chase Brown will be the target for me.
Joey P
I agree on the target being Chase Brown. I'd like to see if you can move Brian Thomas for it. If you can get Brian Thomas or atn. They're both on Bias. That would be interesting. But a lobby for Chase Brown I think would work as well. But again, it puts a lot of pressure on the rest of those guys to start performing and be healthy. J Romo Hours and Jennings for my Nico. Is that enough? And then what about Bowers and McLaurin instead? Well, Bowers and McLaurin for Nico would be much better. Especially McLaurin's back at practice.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, he's practicing this week, so I.
Joey P
Would far like that one.
Andrew Erickson
Bowers. So what side are they getting here? Are they getting the Bowers and Jennings side?
Joey P
My tight ends are Erts and Gadsden. Wide receivers are Puka, Pierce, All Myers, Coker, Tez. It is tricky to see here for. Well, for my Nico say to be getting Bowers, I mean, I don't know if you need to get the tight end, but if you can get McLaren along with that, I think I'm good with that. Like Nico's hurt. Texans have been kind of a bit of an enigma this year. McLaurin has been hurt all year, but again, practicing, expects to play this week. Unfortunately, it's gonna be with Mariota, but the hope is Jaden Daniels comes back in a week or so. So I think I take this deal. I think Bowers and McLaren, you know, for. For Nico is a pretty good haul.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I agree.
Joey P
I don't like the Bowers and Jennings one though. Would you agree on that?
Andrew Erickson
Yeah.
Joey P
Okay. Awesome. Dev KW3 for Chase Brown. Fair.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think it's fair.
Joey P
I want Chase Brown and then Crafter, Gadsden, Craft. Okay. Next up here is pretty way Ferguson, Devonta Smith, Camara and Bam Knight for CD Lamb and Kincaid. Ah, the classic. Here's a pile of stuff for a really great player. Was this a good move? Yes. Yes, it was. Because you got CD Lamb. That's an easy one. Duncan, you gotta love those two. Here's a bunch of steers. My bench for your best player. Love you too, Flacco for this week. Thanks, Jessica. Appreciate you. For this week. Flacco or Love?
Andrew Erickson
I'm going with Jordan.
Joey P
Love. Ah, really interesting. I'm going with Joe Flacco.
Andrew Erickson
I'm gonna go against the defense that got destroyed by Joe Flacco last week. So fair?
Joey P
Fair. I will instead take the Joe Flacco with Jabar, Chase and T. Higgins in that game against the jets, who have all but quit on football and life pretty much as well. Let's go to M. John. Should I trade Breeze hall and Kyle Pitts for Derrick Henry?
Andrew Erickson
Yes.
Joey P
Or hall and Flowers?
Andrew Erickson
If you can trade Kyle Pitts to get something back in return of value, you got to do that. So. Yes.
Joey P
It's not a good game on Sunday night.
Andrew Erickson
You think he's gonna string two good games back to back?
Joey P
I was like, pitts hasn't been a zero this year. I think you're being tough on Pits a little bit. Just saying. I think.
Andrew Erickson
I mean, he's. You want Gadson or Pits this week?
Joey P
You already have Bowers and. And Gadsden. Then you don't need Pits.
Andrew Erickson
Exactly. That's what I mean. Pits and hall need a mover. I mean, Zay Flowers is like a legitimate.
Joey P
I'd rather have Zay Flowers.
Andrew Erickson
Sure.
Joey P
Yeah, I agree. I agree. First part of that deal. My dogs trade Barkley for Cook, Jacobs or Henry.
Andrew Erickson
All the above. I would trade Barkley for Javante.
Joey P
Wow.
Andrew Erickson
Wow. I mean, you. You wouldn't.
Joey P
I'm not saying I wouldn't, but I'm just. I'm just saying. Wow. I mean, that's where we are right now.
Andrew Erickson
He used up all his explosive runs last year and there's none left.
Joey P
He did. He's 22nd in rushing right now. That's not great.
Andrew Erickson
Is there a favorite though of those three that they listed off between Henry. I mean, look, I. I like all.
Joey P
I always want Derrick Henry now that Lamar Jackson's back. So I would go back to the Derrick Henry.
Andrew Erickson
Well, I think. I mean for me, Jacobs is my house rest of season. He already had his bye week too. So did Derek. Actually, all three already had their bye week. I mean. I mean if you can do the trade, it's fantastic all around. Yeah.
Joey P
49Er trade Chase Brown, Hunter Marks for Saquon Barkley in Washington. I mean look, this is the kind of deal that I would take Saquon Barkley. I would. Because there's still that hope that things figure out like he's still upright. Like the fact that he hasn't injured. That is the biggest thing without injury was my biggest concern of his. But it hasn't been good. The offensive line has not blocked the way it did last year for him. Traded Bucky for Rome and Bill needed a wide receiver too. What are your thoughts? I think it's pretty good.
Andrew Erickson
So Rome is our. Rome's just back to wide receiver too. Yeah, I like this deal. Good, good job. Especially trading injured player, right? Yeah.
Joey P
Rome is. Is Persona non grata after last week. It's crazy. Vinnie is 2 and 5. Got offered JJ for my JSN. It's hard to trade JSN right now.
Andrew Erickson
He's. He's just having one of those seasons I think where he's just. It's a special year for jsn. I think this is the year you want to keep him on your roster.
Joey P
So what if it was JJ and Swift? Would that move for JSN work for you? Well, it's not enough.
Andrew Erickson
Where else this is running back situation.
Joey P
The other running back situation. Genti, atn, Chuba, Rico.
Andrew Erickson
So yeah, I think that would be enough to. To make the move. If JJ and JSN, it's not lateral. Rather have JSN, but JJ's obviously no slouch. And then you get a starting running back with Swift who has a couple good matchups coming up. I think that would be enough. That's a good, good trade.
Joey P
Ghostly in the 10 team PPR after trades roster is Barkley, Jacobs, A Dunes, A rice, Lamb, Pittman, BTJ, McBride. What a good roster we've got here. There we go. Running back is light behind Barkley and Jacobs. No, that's not light. That's one of the best running back duos you could possibly have in fantasy. No, don't trade for another Running back ghostly. Sometimes you just gotta play fantasy football.
Andrew Erickson
They do have btj they. So are we like co signing on this trade? BTJ for Chase Brown?
Joey P
Sure.
Andrew Erickson
Is that like a trade that. Because I. I'm thinking to do that after the show.
Joey P
Oh wait a minute. I just got something in my inbox. Ranjo Erickson. What is this? Oh geez, I didn't see that coming. Let's go to Totus Magodis here as we just got news that Michael Pennix will be limited in practice today. And also just letting everybody know Lamar Jackson was back at practice today. Yay Lamar Jackson. All right, worried about Kittle and the streaming tight end moving forward. So I guess the question is we're looking to set his lineup already two running backs and one flex, one defense so Henry is in. Vidal, I would play this week with the full backfield.
Andrew Erickson
Yes, yes. And then Breeze hall against the Bengals.
Joey P
Okay. And then you want the Philly defense against the Giants or Tampa against New Orleans or Kansas City against Washington. I think Kansas City at home against Washington is the most appealing to be honest.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think that's probably the safest one. I think that the Tampa Bay Bucks are kind of interesting against Rattler but they are playing on the road so I think Chiefs at home is just the safest bet.
Joey P
Okay. I'm not worried about Kittle yet. It's one game. Let's not freak out.
Andrew Erickson
Well, you know what this weekend is, right?
Joey P
What's this weekend, Andrew?
Andrew Erickson
National Tight End Day. You don't think George is going to go nuclear on National Tight End Day? I think he is.
Joey P
Yeah, basically. All right, let's go to T.O. 's third eye six and one. Any trade targets for this team? Start eight. They have Lamar. They have May, Judkins, Scatter, White, Henderson, Benson, Lamb, JSN Rice and London. It's a good team. Warren, a tight end. Look, you're six and one with a good team. Benson is the one piece that I think has more theoretical value than actual value. If you could turn him into something that you could play these like if you could get Rico Dowdle for Benson right now, I would do that in a second. That kind of a trade. What are you thinking about?
Andrew Erickson
I think that you could trade Lamar Jackson for the best positional player you could find. He is coming back from a hamstring injury which again I'm not trying to risk. I mean there's a re injury risk with him and you already have Drake May so you don't need both quarterbacks. And if Lamar has his value back that he's back at practice and he should be playing this week. I think you can get the full price of Lamar Jackson for the best running back or wide receiver that you can get in a deal. So that's probably what I would try to do or package Lamar with again, like a Benson to get up to a. A top tier running back.
Joey P
All right, next up here we have Mr. Morowitz's question. Sell Addison or Pearsall for an RB2.
Andrew Erickson
Either. Either makes sense.
Joey P
Okay. And is it worth picking up Benson off the waiver wire? I think it's worth picking him up if you could stash them. Sure.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think so.
Joey P
And then you like Herbert on Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings or Baker on the road against New Orleans.
Andrew Erickson
I think Baker for me, Baker it is.
Joey P
Tess Johnson, the mega Buka. It's fine. Everything's gonna be fine. Lions had a good game plan. They did a good job. Give the line some credit. Harmon. 3 and 4. This is the team we have out here. So I guess we have one tight end, a wide receiver to flex between this group. I'd like to play Gadson at tight end from this grouping here between him and Mason Taylor. Do you co sign on that?
Andrew Erickson
I saw the Bengals give up four touchdowns to three different tight ends.
Joey P
I did. I've also seen Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor play quarterback so well. Everything.
Andrew Erickson
Tara's getting all the reps this week, although Justin Fields.
Joey P
No, he's not getting started. I know, but he's not getting all the reps either. He's splitting the reps. I don't know. Like you're not wrong. Cincinnati is the worst in in creation against tight ends. But if you can't throw the football, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
Andrew Erickson
I'm. I'm gonna play Mason Taylor.
Joey P
All right, so we're in disagreement about that. Sorry. All right, so wide receiver and a flex between the rest of these guys. You got Mooney, you got golden, you got Spears, Manangai, Burchard, Smith and Coker.
Andrew Erickson
I like golden and probably just Mooney. Just play some upside wide receiver. Threes I think is a good moving in. Good matchups, Dolphins, Cowboys, bad secondaries. So I like those receivers with some upside.
Joey P
All right, next up here we've got King fan, a realistic wide receiver. Targets for Swift and Ramandre.
Andrew Erickson
Well, apparently you can get Roma Dunes for these guys. So yes, shoot for the moon with room Adunze, number one Diggs, maybe he's another guy you could try to go after. Maybe. I think Swift or Digs would probably get done.
Joey P
Swift's been productive after a down week too. Is interesting. I think a lot of people are souring him after the sauce game, you know, but Zay Flowers has been quiet because of the injuries to Lamar. That's another interesting one too. I think that's the Ranger looking at for those guys. And then, yeah, that'll. That'll hopefully do it. Get rid of Ramandre, trade Dak Camaro or for Swift. Allen is my qb. So you already have Allen. So he's passes by. You have Dak Prescott. Here's a question. I think I'd rather keep Dak and see if Josh Allen brings you back something better than Swift like Dak and Camara for Swift just seems like a. I mean, it feels like you're giving.
Andrew Erickson
Away Dak for nothing.
Joey P
It does. And I hate that. I'd much rather move Josh Allen for, you know, Josh Jacobs. I don't know if you could pull that off necessarily, but something in that range at least would be far more exciting. I don't know. I don't love this deal. Swift is not like bulletproof for me. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you're getting Derek, can you get Derek Henry for Josh Allen and just keep Dak?
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think that would be better. I think this person's. I agree that I think Camara is a good sell high candidate. I don't know if this is the best method to try to capitalize on selling him high. I like the idea, but lo Swift, yo.
Joey P
I have May, Camara, Mason Dowdle, Bucky Vidal. It's got a good roster here, Trade targets, ideas to improve, especially at rb. So right now at rb, they've got Camara, Mason Dowdle, Bucky and Vidal. So you hope that Bucky comes back and solves some of these issues for you in a couple weeks, but you're still a couple weeks away from that. You have. I. I assume is Chase, like Jamar Chase, not Chase Brown, the way we put it here. So you have Jamar Chase, you have Pickens, you have London Igbuka. You have a really good grouping here. Chair McLaurin's hopefully getting healthy now. You don't need Terry McLaurin. So if you want to trade Pickens now that Lamb is back and slide McLaurin into that mix, I think that's an interesting trade. Chip, maybe you could put him and Camara to move up at running back. Could you get a James Cook for him? Maybe. I think that's Kind of what we're looking for. And once you have Craft and Goddard like, I don't know, I'm dropped. I'm dropping God or never playing them over Craft and Craft has already passes by.
Andrew Erickson
Can you trade Jamar Chase for Bijan Robinson?
Joey P
You can, but man, that's a, that's a weighty deal. I don't know.
Andrew Erickson
You don't, you don't want the Bijan side?
Joey P
Not that I don't want the Bijan side. Just don't know if that ends up giving you. I, I just think that's, I mean, leaves you with Pickens, London, A Buka and Terry McLaren. It's not bad. It's not bad.
Andrew Erickson
I just think it's in terms of if they really want to upgrade running back. Then you would take Chase after he had 20 billion targets on a prime time game and buy low on Bijan after he had a stinker and he's facing the Dolphins this week.
Joey P
Well, yeah, I mean, I've already bet that over is 83 and a half. How is it only that?
Andrew Erickson
What?
Joey P
I have no idea. I know. Bet it now. Bet it now.
Andrew Erickson
That's nuts.
Joey P
It's 83 and a half.
Andrew Erickson
The Judkins number was larger than that.
Joey P
Put that with it. Anytime. First a first half touchdown. Do it. You get into the plus money there. Start Flacco or Pennix this week? Flacco. That's, that's.
Andrew Erickson
I don't think Pennix. Pennix might not even play. So yeah, there.
Joey P
He might not. There also. Everybody. It is now officially 23 minutes after. Let's cut off the super chats for now. So I want to make sure we get to everybody.

Do I drop Goddard or Kincaid for Otten?
Andrew Erickson
Neither. Good.
Joey P
Next is James Bond. Ooh, Celebrity trade George Kittle and Josh Jacobs for Justin Jefferson. I have Ferguson, CMC and Williams already. My wide receivers are mid with Smith and Metcalf.
Andrew Erickson
Man, I don't know. I feel like Jacobson Jefferson is fair. So I don't know that you need to add Kittle. I don't know. I don't love this deal. I feel like it's a lot for Jefferson when you're especially when you're giving up Jacobs. I don't know.
Joey P
I agree. I agree. What if it was Ferguson? Would you want to do it instead?
Andrew Erickson
No. I just don't think that this is the right way to try to move off one of your tight ends. I like that idea of trading Kittle or Ferguson away. I'm not sure this is the right approach.
Joey P
That's fair. So kid over Jefferson counter straight up K King trade what Wide receiver for what RB or hold Wide receivers are Chase London Rice, Igbuka, Godwin, Pearsall, Ridley, Coker. Need RBs. I've got Cook, Henderson, Spears. Yes you do. All right, so who is the look you've already got? Forget Godwin. You need to drop Godwin because he's never playing Chase London Rice egg book is a really good grouping. You could drop Ridley. Pierce all is another guy. I think Pierce all is the first guy off the island for me. I mean maybe Pierce on Henderson. Could that get you something or somebody sitting there going yeah, I'm gonna buy low on these two rookies. Like I mean a smart fantasy player like I would, I'd be tempted by that trade. Look man, we've sat here many times going well this guy's never going to do anything. And then I mean I remember I'm on Ross St. Brown, people were dropping him his rookie season and then he went off in the last eight weeks of the year and it was a league winner. So it's not like it's impossible. I think that Piersol and Henderson could be something there to move up. But you have Chase, you have London, you have Igbuka. If you have to move Rice certainly last week is the, is the week to move them off.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think that that's probably the best way to approach it. Hold on to guys like Pierce all or Henderson because they could have second half breakouts and just you have really a lot of strong wide receivers. So approach the Derrick Henry manager and say hey yeah Henry, which receiver do you want? Like I like them all but so you can pick which one and that way I don't feel bad when I give away the guy that does the best because I didn't get to choose.
Joey P
All right, I need a wide receiver, 2/flex help rest of season at a trade a qb. I have Lamar May, Bijan, Javante, Rashad White, Hampton, Vidal, Jetta's Worthy, Hunter, golden and Ferguson. So 10 team league here you don't need two quarterbacks. Lamar is back, the buy is over. Drake May's value is at its highest. Everyone's on a buy, everyone's hurt. May has some value this week. You have Bijan and Javante. That's pretty good. You would like to have another depth piece. So I don't want to deal Jettas, you do need more help across the board here. That's the problem is that for a 10 team league this is a little thin of a roster. So Andrew, how would you fix this? How would you go about fixing this one? Because I don't know after Jetta's there's not enough wide receivers. And after Bijan Javante, would you cash in Bijan for this team?
Andrew Erickson
No. I think that you pointed out that you should probably just move one of the quarterbacks, right? The 10 team league. There's someone probably potentially hurting for a quarterback this week. Maybe they're just streaming quarterbacks, but if this person has two quarterbacks, maybe this is a league where a lot of people have multiple quarterbacks on their roster and the waiver wire is not nearly as. There's not a surplus of of signal callers. So I would try to trade one of those elite quarterbacks. Think May's in that elite fantasy territory.
Joey P
Or maybe Lamar. I mean, maybe you can deal Lamar. Maybe the big name of Lamar coming back. If you're winning with May, you can win without Lamar.
Andrew Erickson
And then I would say, I mean, Odun would probably be. I mean he's better than every other receiver on this roster besides Jefferson. So entertaining. Maybe you just do straight up Lamar Jackson to get Odunze or something like along those lines. Those are some approaches I would try.
Joey P
Would you do may for McLaurin, try to get him on the roster?
Andrew Erickson
I would much rather have. I mean, McLaurin has been hurt. I feel like he hasn't played all season. And Jay Daniels is also hurt. So I think I would still hold on to May.
Joey P
You consider JJ and Walker for jsn a throw in and a throw in player or just jettison, stay put with JSN and be ready for next week.
Andrew Erickson
Nothing is going to change for Walker.
Joey P
Yeah, it's just not interesting.
Andrew Erickson
So. Yeah, it's just gross. If you want to move up to JSN, I, I think that's. That's fine. Yeah.
Joey P
Metal trade BTJ and Rashad White for Bucky and McLaurin. Yes, it's a risk, but it's a league winning.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah. Yeah. BTJ from McLaurin is an interesting other trade to look at. You know, buying a player that's been underwhelming to a player that really hasn't played. So I think it's an interesting move.
Joey P
All right, Rod's up next here. What trades would you recommend for this roster? You have to start eight, it's full ppr, six make the playoffs. Right now they're just two and five. Saquon and Brown Hall Dowdle, Aaron Jones returning. Then they've got Ramandre and Mananguy. So got a lot of running back depth, which is a lot. You should move some of that. You got Pukin Adams on a buy so you're desperate for wide receivers this week. This is really bad. I would move, look, I would go with the running backs you have now that Jones is back too and just piece it together. Put Saquon out there for a. A Jay Jettas. But you need a guy like you need a dude at wide receiver and I wonder if Saquon can get you Jefferson. Like I just, you know, it's fantasy. People see big names, they're willing to make it. That's the kind of move you need to make. You need a big time wide receiver here that's on a little on the cheap. And you got to hope that Pukin Adams come back next week and if they do, then you're really good shape because you got Puka, Adams, London, Jefferson, something like that. And you could get by at running back with I think Hall Dowdle and Aaron Jones and even Ramontre and Manangai rest of season.
Andrew Erickson
That's.
Joey P
That's what I would do.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I guess I'm concerned about because they have this massive hole at. I mean I guess you have London and Diggs. That's. That's a pretty good combination this week. I'm just thinking that they had both Rams. They have, they have. They've had both Rams receivers in their 2 and 5. Like right?
Joey P
And now they're going to be 2 and 6 because those guys are on a buy.
Andrew Erickson
So can you. What if you trade one of them now for someone that can help you this week? You could. That's kind of what my idea was and I think maybe you just trade because clearly having both Rams receivers hasn't been helping you. So maybe you need to move off of Puka. Who can probably get the most back for and get the most elite option you can get this week. Maybe you just trade him for Derrick Henry. Just. Hey, I need someone to produce this week. He's got the Bears. Lamar's back. He should smash and you should get a win.
Joey P
All right. Hey boys, should I play Chase Brown, Pacheco, Mason or Manangai? PPR Also my other league, RJ Harvey or Manangai? I play Manangai.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I'm an on guy for me too.
Joey P
And then Pickens or Diggs this week.
Andrew Erickson
I'm gonna play Diggs and I will say I would. We still don't know if Aaron Jones is playing so I would play Jordan Mason if Aaron Jones doesn't play.
Joey P
Random was offered Tet for Jalen Warren.
Andrew Erickson
I know you're not a big Paul.
Joey P
I like I'm not. Last week went A little bit further to make me feel warm and fuzzy about it. Still not in love.
Andrew Erickson
I think it's fair. I think it's a fair deal. Wide receiver, running back of equal value. I. I mean, I like McMillan long term. Just because I. I'd say I still want to buy the rookie receivers and there is always a chance that the Steelers entertain some of the other running backs on their roster. So I like that.
Joey P
I think, because you have Bucky. I'm willing to do this because hopefully Bucky comes back in a couple weeks and, you know, after the buy, maybe we're there. Awesome. Dev ppr. What can I trade for Chase Brown? What can you trade for Chase Brown nowadays?
Andrew Erickson
Brian Thomas Jr. Apparently he's the hot ticket item to go get Chase Brown based on their team.
Joey P
Well, you're not trading Nico. Wondale's not enough. Diggs and Sutton I think might be too much. So if those, if those are the options here, unless you can move Potentially Wondale and KW3 for Chase Brown, would you do that?
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think so. You don't think kw3 would get it done straight up for Chase Brown?
Joey P
I mean, you could try. I don't think so, but you could try. Trade Scatter Boo for Olave and Chase Brown. Oh, everybody wants Chase Brown today.
Andrew Erickson
People have been watching the shows. Love it.
Joey P
Do you want. You want Scatter Boo or you want a lobby and Brown?
Andrew Erickson
No, because anytime I say trade away Scatter Boo, he scores three touchdowns. So I'm not doing that again. So now keep him. Keep him. Keep them.
Joey P
We're in Scaboo season, baby.
Andrew Erickson
Spooky season.
Joey P
That's right. Scaboo IO my Arby's are Rico, Monty Mason, Charbonnet, Henderson. Drop Henderson and pick up Tootin or a kicker. I'm three and four.
Andrew Erickson
I wouldn't.
Joey P
Well, I mean, if you have to have a kicker, pick up a kicker. Like, you know, because Tutin's on a buy this week anyway. He's not gonna help.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah. So, yeah, tune's value is not going to change because you get a win, so. Because you don't anticipate any injuries happen to the Jag, so.
Joey P
All right, Rudy's up next. Just traded Breeze hall and Jordan Mason for Swift and Debo. That's pretty good. I like that. I think that's a pretty good value there.
Andrew Erickson
I like Breeze. I still like Mason a decent amount. Swift, I do not like the Bears playoff schedule. It's really, really tough. So I'm afraid that he might kind of fizzle out kind of like in a classic DeAndre Swift fashion where he's good, he's bad for a month, good for a month, and then bad for another month. So I would prepare to maybe flip him again. And right now I'm just. I don't know if Debo does this every year. Right. Comes out first month.
Joey P
Yeah.
Andrew Erickson
On fire, and then gets banged up and just is totally useless the rest of the season. So I am concerned about Debo, too.
Joey P
Rico Dowdle. And you said that, by the way, remember, draft season. You're like, if you're going to draft him, make sure you trade him six weeks in. So here we are, 11 hippos. Rico Dowdle or Sean White at the flex.
Andrew Erickson
Where's the 12th hippo? I'm gonna go with Rashad White.
Joey P
All of them are hungry, though. I am H, o J G Sure. 7 0. Trying to trade with a 1 in 6 team offering Swift and QJ for Amari and Hampton and Garrett Wilson. Is that good for me? Will I be stronger for a playoff run?
Andrew Erickson
Hampton? Yes, probably. Garrett Wilson.
Joey P
Probably. Tbd. It's tbd.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah. I don't. I don't know. I don't know what to think about. I've been wrong about Garrett Wilson basically every single week, ranking him. And when people ask me what I do with Garrett Wilson, I'm just thinking.
Joey P
Man, I wish I knew the opposite of what I'm doing. That's what she said.
Andrew Erickson
Oh, man.
Joey P
Jake's up next. Hey, bros, need help on the bench. Rico Diggs, Wandale, Debo. No QB at Chiefs. Also, what to do with btj. Just hold and hope. No, I mean, we're not in hold and hope. We're in week eight. We're halfway through here. It's time to start making moves.
Andrew Erickson
Trade for Chase Brown.
Joey P
Sure. There you go.
Andrew Erickson
I think that's. I think that's the move to make. You just. Just.
Joey P
That's the move.
Andrew Erickson
It's just. And I think the two. With Brian Thomas Jr. In the playoffs, he plays the jets and the Broncos. So even so, even if he does improve at some stretch, if he bombs in week 16 or 17 because of some of these tougher corner matchups, he's just gonna kill your fantasy lineup. So you gotta move on.
Joey P
All right. This next one, you're not gonna like my answer to this one. Maybe. I don't know. We'll see. Trade away Jay Jettis for Breeze Hall. I need an RB1. No, because you're not getting an RB1 because Breeze Hall's not an RB1.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, sorry. It you can't.
Joey P
Sorry. He's RB19 on the year. 11 points per game.
Andrew Erickson
Too much.
Joey P
Terrible idea, bro. Don't do that. Vic's Garage. Dak or Bo Nixon.
Andrew Erickson
I'm gonna play Bo Nicks this week. Really?
Joey P
I mean, I can never sit back.
Andrew Erickson
He's playing Dallas. This is so bad.
Joey P
No, but. Yes, but have you seen the numbers that Dax put up on a weekly basis, bro? I mean, this is insane.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, but he's also facing the best defense he's faced all year at the Broncos.
Joey P
I don't think it matters. I mean, Dak Prescott is number two in fantasy points per game right now. I mean, Bo Nick's a six, so it's not terrible. Yeah, but I'm going with Dak the qj or Michael Pittman this week. I'd play Pittman.
Andrew Erickson
Yes. I would also play Pittman and then.
Joey P
Bill or Chase Brown. There is Chase Brown.
Andrew Erickson
This week is Chase Brown.
Joey P
Okay, there you go. Every week is Chase Brown. All right, let's go to Brandon. You're the final judge. Team A needs RB receives Hampton, and team B a wide receiver, Pierce. All trade was vetoed by owners. Vetoes are dumb. Stop vetoing trades. It should never be vetoed. This is a perfectly fine trade. Everything about this trade is fine. This is so stupid. This is. You should tell them. Send them this clip of the show. Listen, everyone in Brandon Massey's fantasy football league, stop being A and vetoing trade. You're ruining fantasy football for yourself and others. Get rid of veto power. Let everybody make trades. If you think people are cheating or colluding, stop playing fantasy football with them. This is the dumbest thing ever. It should not be vetoed. This is a. This is a perfectly fine trade in theory. Andrew Erickson, do you have anything you'd like to add?
Andrew Erickson
I think that you summed it up quite well.
Joey P
Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. Aaron's question. Which side? Irving and JCM or Bowers, Woody Marks and Breeze Hall.
Andrew Erickson
I like the Bowers and Breece hall side. Although I don't feel very confident about.
Joey P
My answer, as you can tell, I feel confident. I like Irving and JCM side.
Andrew Erickson
Okay.
Joey P
Waiver wire has been okay for tight end Gadsden Theo Johnson, you know, Mason Taylor a little bit. Schultz is going to be useful for a couple weeks now. I'm just gonna roll. Caleb Ross, full PPR trade. I have Jaden, 8chan, Atia, Nico, Zay, Flowers, T. Higgins, Rashad White, Myers, Shakir Vidal and Marks need an rb. I'm one in six. You got A lot of problems here, Caleb. A lot of problems here. First of all, you don't have a quarterback this week because you don't have Jaden Daniels. So that's problem number one. You're one in six. I don't know. Look, Zay's getting Lamar back hopefully, so that's good. T. Higgins has a good matchup against the jets because he will be the guy flying around by himself. Myers is on a buy, so he would be a guy that I would trade for anything that could help me right now. Vidal should get the full backfield. Like I just don't know what to do here. I don't think there's a lot that's valuable to other people, do you?
Andrew Erickson
And I think that they need to get a quarterback first. That is the number one priority. Just kind of figure that situation out. Maybe you trade running back, needy team some depth with etn. You move ETN for a quarterback.
Joey P
Would you trade Daden Daniels and just stream another quarterback? I mean he's probably the best asset they have outside of a Chan on this roster to get better. Yeah, because Nico's not going to play this week. If you could trade Jaden Daniels and stream quarterback. Look, you're one in six. Go pick up Joe Flacco, see what happens. Like just. Just give it a shot here. You're one in six. You got nothing to lose except more games right now. That's it. All right, let's get to the next super chat. Here is Dylan. Dylan Thomas, Gibbs, Taylor, Scatterboo and Spears and Tet Terry, Coleman, Pierce. All downs at wide receiver 12 team, I'm 7 0. Should I trade Scatter Boo for a stronger wide receiver? If you're 7 0, like Terry's coming back. I mean, I think you could use another wide receiver here. But I don't want to trade Scatterable to do it. I don't want to do it. How are you seven zero with this team, Dylan? That's more question.
Andrew Erickson
I mean Gibson, Jonathan, Taylor, they scored like 30 points a game.
Joey P
Well, then that's true. I guess that's it. But I mean, but think about it. But Coleman's giving you nothing. Pearsall hasn't played, Ted's been boring and Terry McLaurin hasn't played. That's stunning.
Andrew Erickson
That's really running with Gibson driven. That's pretty insane. Yeah.
Joey P
So you just wait for Pierce all and Terry to get healthy. Just sit on it, bro.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think. I think if you're 7 0, you're probably doing the right things. So don't blow it up necessarily just to change things up.
Joey P
Booty Franklin tez Manangai Full PPR bench 1 who's the odd man out this week?
Andrew Erickson
It's between Tez and Booty.
Joey P
It's been on Guy or Frank. I'll say. So we're on the complete opposite.
Andrew Erickson
Well, because I want Mananga because I want some floor with because I think that these three receivers are all kind of like Boomer bust whereas I think.
Joey P
Is another as the most touchdown equity believe it or not against the Saints I really do like.
Andrew Erickson
And Booty's also. He's got to catch the long one or else he kind of usually just disappears.
Joey P
They both do. Thank you.
Andrew Erickson
I think Taz will probably be the guy I said but I think it's pretty close.
Joey P
Okay, that's fair. It is. It's a tough one. B5 trade Josh Allen for Saint Brown or Dowdle for A Dunes A I would do both.
Andrew Erickson
Can you do both deals?
Joey P
Can we do.
Andrew Erickson
Yes.
Joey P
How about yes. How about all of the above go to Manuel half PPR traded Chase Brown and I got Rushy Rice. That's great.
Andrew Erickson
Wow.
Joey P
Fantastic.
Andrew Erickson
That's awesome.
Joey P
QB Josh Allen, tight end Bowers, your thoughts on this rest of this roster. CMC Charbonnet Rico. I'd like to have look now you got that Chase Brown piece. Oh no, you don't have it. So you're a little lighter at rb right? Because after CMC this is the kind of team you have to have Brian Robinson on. Right? Like because like you just have to. You are the Brian Robinson guy.
Andrew Erickson
Ah.
Joey P
11 hippos is back. Rico or Rashad White.
Andrew Erickson
Rashad White.
Joey P
Next is Paul Plaza. What's up guys? Should I sell Swift high And for.
Andrew Erickson
Whom I think Swift is an interesting sell high. His schedule the next couple weeks is good but as Worm and I talked about it on the trade show, his playoff schedule is kind of rough. So I think it does make sense to maybe get out ahead of it a piece that you could trade him for maybe his teammate Odunze Swift to get Breeze Hall. I think I'd probably take Breeze hall. So.
Joey P
Okay. That's Bam Bam's question.
Andrew Erickson
Well, the other person asked.
Joey P
I would take Swift overhaul.
Andrew Erickson
I would take that.
Joey P
I think the jets are just.
Andrew Erickson
But there's still a chance that hall gets traded, right? That that has to.
Joey P
But it's that.
Andrew Erickson
But that plays a factor in this though.
Joey P
It does. It would also play a factor if the jets knew what they were doing as organization and were smart enough to make A good move like that, I.
Andrew Erickson
Mean, they traded for Devonte Adams last year.
Joey P
Fair Flex Igbuka or Judkins or Kittle Igbuka for me, I can't take out of a lineup.
Andrew Erickson
No, you gotta play. He's an auto start.
Joey P
Never comes out. Auto start, Rookie of the year. Auto start. Dynasty starters are Baker, Kyler, Scatterboo, Dobbins, Neighbors CD Rice, London McBride. Thinking about trading Rice, London and Scatterboo for Gibbs, Tet and Draft Capital. I don't like doing this. Scatter Boo is a rookie. Rice is only his third season. He's barely played. London is still relatively young. Tet has no quarterback with him. And you're just trying to get Gibbs. I don't like this at all. I think this is a terrible idea. And I don't like the 2026 draft class nearly as much as I like last year's.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I don't.
Joey P
It's a hard no for me.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not sure. I don't. I don't agree with that. Like, I guess, like, I'm trying to figure out where. Because, like, all the players, most people.
Joey P
Fall in love with pitch.
Andrew Erickson
But all the players, all the players that he was putting in the deal are all like really young.
Joey P
Yeah.
Andrew Erickson
So I guess that's the thing.
Joey P
Everybody wants them to be younger and this. And like, guys, like picks are again, arbitrary. Give me talent. I'm always trading picks for talent every time I can.
Andrew Erickson
I guess the thing too is like Tetra McMillan. You're kind of hoping he is Drake. London. Right. But you already have Drake.
Joey P
Right.
Andrew Erickson
So just keep drinking London.
Joey P
And how's he gonna get there with.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, right. Who knows?
Joey P
Who the quarter question mark Jones, the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers.
Andrew Erickson
Next year, man. So he's gonna. He's really gonna fall. Like the Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold trajectory. Go to Carolina, be terrible.
Joey P
What else? Maybe he won't be terrible. Canalis.
Andrew Erickson
Well, the whole line there is underrated, so. And he can see over the offensive line.
Joey P
I think that's one of the best landing spots for Mac Jones this year, to be honest with you. Yeah, Carolina is a ton of sense.
Andrew Erickson
I mean, my cardiac cats. Let's go.
Joey P
12 team PPR one in six. So things are not going well. Evans is out. I'm lost what to do. So you've got Jetta's, Wondale, Franklin, Booty Pierce, all Shakira. Look, Pierce was not helping you. So he'd be a piece off the island because he's still hurt and you can't wait anymore. Jones, Lamar. I assume we're talking Daniel Jones and Lamar. So you don't need two quarterbacks now that Lamar's back. Look, this is a 1 in 16 based on the fact Lamar's been hurt. I think that's, that's how I look at this roster. And unfortunately you're thin at wide receiver. So Pearsall and Daniel Jones for wide receiver is what I would do, especially with Evans done for the year.
Andrew Erickson
I mean, Daniel Jones is fine.
Joey P
Portland Sutton. Yeah, but you don't need him. You got Lamar. But what I'm saying is like, so then do you.
Andrew Erickson
But then you move Lamar for a top tier shelf wide receiver.
Joey P
Either way, one of those quarterbacks and Pierce Hall's gotta go for somebody better that you could play wide receiver because Evans is done. He's never coming back. So let it go. Should I trade away Lamar and run the rest of season with Stafford?
Andrew Erickson
It depends on what you get for Lamar. If you can get a top shelf running back receiver, then see ya. I think that's. I think that's every team that has Lamar. If you have a losing record, I think you got to trade him for receivers, running backs that will help you because there's a lot of usable quarterbacks that you can get off waivers.
Joey P
So Shannon's up next. I'm hurting at RB other than cmc, looking to trade Kraft and Tet for Javante Williams. Thoughts? I have CD Lamb, London Olave, Adam Zayo matter, Malik Washington. We score kickoff returns. Okay, that's interesting too. Little wrinkle there.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I.
Joey P
So what do you think of that deal?
Andrew Erickson
I like, I like buying Javante, so I like all the players in this deal, craft, McMillan. But Javante is the guy I like the most, so. Yeah, dude.
Joey P
There you go, Shannon. All right, let's get to Frank's question here. And we did all the guaranteed supers, so again, everything right now, no guarantees on super chats. You super chat at your own risk versus the show. Frank is up next here. I'm 2 and 5 in a 12 team league. I have Baker, Purdy, K9, Dobbins, Camara, Amon, Raw Waddle, etc. Etc. What should I do? Maybe need a running back. So what should Frank do here?
Andrew Erickson
Well, they don't have Chase Brown, so that's an option. You could try to go get Chase Brown. We've talked about Kenneth Walker for Chase Brown straight up. That seems like a doable deal. Walker's on a buy this week, so he's not going to help you. And he's stuck in that RB2 committee with Charbonnet. So unless someone gets injured, I don't think it's really going to change. So Chase Brown. I think it's an option that you could go after. Any other thoughts?
Joey P
Nope. I think you nailed it. The great ppr. You want Taylor or Schultz at tight end this week?
Andrew Erickson
I actually really like Dalton Schultz this week.
Joey P
I do too. And I have no confidence in the jets to do anything. Bills are 49ers defense this week.
Andrew Erickson
I think you just got to keep it. If the Texans don't have Nico Collins, I think that that's.
Joey P
They also don't have an offensive line, so I'm going with San Fran.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think that's probably the move.
Joey P
B1 kicks sold. CMC for Saquon in London.
Andrew Erickson
Did I get finessed? I don't think you got finesse. I think that's the market value for him. And it's a matter of. I mean, this could look great if CMC ends up, you know, not holding up to the workload, but if he does, then obviously like you're not gonna feel great about. I mean, you got good players back, but. Yeah.
Joey P
And Bryce Young did not practice today, so we're getting closer to the Andy Dalton news any minute now. Trade Lamar and Nico for Jamar Chase. I have dart. All right, see, this is the kind of deal. See this? You make a big move like this, you bring in a big impact player and then you roll with QB with the ugly qb. And it's not always going to be pretty for Jackson. Dart. But he gets rushing equity Max is up next. Ppr. Trade Kelsey and Algier for Pitts and Brian Thomas.
Andrew Erickson
This is one of these trades where.
Joey P
Well, look, you're the Brian Thomas whisperer from last year.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah.
Joey P
So I don't know where you're at in this new offense. I don't know where he's at. The health is now in question. I mean, who is the best player in this deal right now? Is it Travis Kelsey? Dare I ask?
Andrew Erickson
Oh, man. I think it's just a list of just players that I want. I mean, Algier is a handcuffed most of the time. Although you can probably play him this week because he's facing the Dolphins. I just, I don't think he should be training for Brian Thomas, so. Because I think that he's going to landmine your lineup more often than not. So even if he has a good game, you put him in your lineup the next week and Then he has a bad game and he's hurting you more than helping you. The connection with him and Trevor Lawrence is just. It's non existent. It's two steps forward, one step back. Seems the every single week with them. So yeah, I think that. I think I'm not making this deal. I think Kelsey is probably. You're still gonna want Kelsey over Pits. And then Algier is a handcuff, but he's a high end handcuff. And if I have Bichon Robinson, I want to make sure I have Algier too. So I think, yeah, I just don't want Trevor.
Joey P
Brian, do you think we're gonna get Pennix this week?
Andrew Erickson
I don't. I don't think so, honestly. You know, he was banged up at the end of the game. Whenever they say guys are day to day, it usually means it's like translation is week to week. Like that's usually what ends up happening.
Joey P
So here's the other question. Do you think that you get Geno Smith returning at quarterback after the buy or is it Kenny Pickett?
Andrew Erickson
I think Gino will still get another opportunity. I mean, look, he went to Kansas City.
Joey P
I think he will too. I do.
Andrew Erickson
He went to Kansas City without Bowers or like, I mean like he doesn't have his best receiver, so I get that he's played like crap. But when you're missing your best guy, it's going to result in you playing pretty poorly.
Joey P
So it's Kobe Myers wants out of there in the worst way.
Andrew Erickson
See what they said, like, oh yeah, I still want to be traded.
Joey P
Yeah, I still want to be traded. Yeah. All right. Josh is 7 0. Congratulations. So here we go. Half PPR 2 Flex, Dax, EMC, K9, CD Lamb, Drake McBride, Olave, Terry. Trade Olave and Bears backup RB. I assume we're talking about manang guy for Genti. Yes, I'm good with that. I like getting Genti. Yeah, but that because. Because look, your second RB situation is canine and that ain't great. So I'm okay with that.
Andrew Erickson
You still got CD Drake wide receivers to work with.
Joey P
Terry McLaurin's coming back now, so yeah, I trade BTJ for Pickens or trade Henry for Kyron. Do the first one.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I'd rather do it. Even with slam back, it doesn't. I mean, Pickens is still going to produce probably more than Brian Thomas Jr. Anyway, so.
Joey P
I think you'll produce more than Brian Thomas Jr. Trey Jalen, Warren for Addison. That's a tricky one. Here I. Where are you that Leaves them with Gibbs, Brown, KW3. I say no.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah. Addison worries me because of J.J. mcCarthy taking back quarterback duties and what that offense will look like with him under center because it wasn't great. I mean, we haven't even seen J.J. mcCarthy play with Addison this year at all. So.
Joey P
Yeah.
Andrew Erickson
Question mark.
Joey P
Yeah, I just don't love that conceptually either. I mean, he played eight quarters of football and one good one, McCarthy. So still not like, I'm still not there yet. I'm excited about the upside. Yeah, I still think he's got upside, but the problem is he's in that. He's in that weird death spiral that Anthony Richardson.
Andrew Erickson
Are you missing? Yeah.
Joey P
Can't get better because you can't get reps and you can't get reps if you're not healthy and you can't get better if you can't get reps. It's like. Yeah, yeah, it's terrible. It's no good. Keani 12 Team 3 and 4. You got Jaden and Drake at QB, Keenan Tez, Jacoby, Golden Puka at wide receiver, Bucky Bill, J.K. and then Kate Otten and Kittle trade options. So look, you've got to get better at wide receiver and right now Puka is your only guy. Once again, I think this is. I'm playing Drake may rest a season. Jaden Daniels can go. Bye bye. I think he's the only asset you have to get better. So whatever, he can bring you back. Because right now a lot of questions. This, this is a 500 team, but I don't think this is a 500 team. Where I go, yeah, this team's going to get hot in the playoffs. Like Puka is your best asset. Don't trade them. Jaden's probably your second best asset. So that's the guy that's got to move. Especially since you have May to back it up.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think that that's probably the move to make. Maybe you could do Jaden for Odun as an option if you're looking for more wide receiver options.
Joey P
Next up is JB's question here. Trey Jalen Warren for Rome. Here we go. The nexus of the universe. We just hit it.
Andrew Erickson
Yes.
Joey P
Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with that. Let's go. X is Jon Snow. Oh, back again. Jon Snow. I thought he was dead. Trade Saint Brown for Javante Williams and Higgins. No.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, no, I think.
Joey P
I don't think I want to trade it.
Andrew Erickson
Just keep saying Brown.
Joey P
Yeah, that's not terrible value like Higgins is. Is going to be Useful again. I just. I just don't like training. I'm on Roth. Here's one from digital. Trade Bill and BTJ for Bucky and Pierce all. What side you want to be on this one, man.
Andrew Erickson
This one's tough because I still like Pierce all, but he's. It's. It's tough because you're trading for two injured players, but you also are trading away an injured player.
Joey P
So I want the bug. I'll tell you what. I have a strong feeling about this. I want the Bucky, Pierce all side. That's the upside play.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, that's the play.
Joey P
If they all come back and play well and they're all healthy, that. That's a team that can go crazy high, fellas. Traded JCM for Rome. Did I do all right?
Andrew Erickson
I think it's solid. Good.
Joey P
I think it's solid, too. Bucky for Igbuka. I still want Igbuka in a full PPR because, again, I do too. Here's one. Dobbins for St. Brown, straight up. Oh, that's interesting.
Andrew Erickson
I think that this is a sharp move to make. I think that we might see Dobbins tail off a little bit. Again, talking about guys that start out the season really, really hot. Dobbins is kind of one of those players and he sometimes tails off. So I. I think getting ahead of it, I mean, Chase Brown, again, not a lot of touches over the first month of the year because he wasn't. Because they were getting killed.
Joey P
So there goes rushed. Yeah. Awesome. Dev Chase owner is playing him. So KW3 is a no go. Woody or Pacheco and Wandale or Diggs or Sutton for Chase Brown and Odunze Fairy, Pacheco and Pacheco and Wandale is what I want to do, but I don't think that gets it done.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, you're gonna probably. I'm cool with moving digs if I know I get Odunze back.
Joey P
I'm good with that, too. So Diggs and Woody then. So keep Pacheco.
Andrew Erickson
Yes.
Joey P
In that scenario, that's good. So either or.
Andrew Erickson
Good trade.
Joey P
That's how we did that. Good check. Good job. Good job. I need an RB. Got an offer to acquire a Chan for Ted McMillan and Ken Walker. I have Rice, Nico Collins. I'm on Raw. Ricky Pierce, wide receiver.
Andrew Erickson
Take it. Yep, Take it.

Next up here. Here's one from Joe Trade, Genti and Kelsey for Camara and McBride. I don't know, man. I mean, I feel like McBride's the best piece in this deal, but I hate giving up Genti.
Andrew Erickson
I feel exactly the same way.
Joey P
It's really. It's really tricky because there's a world where Genti takes off in the second half and Kelsey's just fine. I think I still want Genti and Kelsey. I do.
Andrew Erickson
Also, I would say with McBride, Kyle was back under center where the touchdowns go away for T.R. mcBride.
Joey P
Also true.
Andrew Erickson
Maybe this is more roster dependent. And if you are, I mean, you have Kelsey at tight end, so you're not like dead. I mean, he's fine. He's fine. I think that he's not in the elites, but he's just like, maybe above.
Joey P
He's in the middle. He's tight end six every week, right? What is he?
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, somewhere. Yeah. He's basically right outside the elite guys. And then there's Kelsey just kind of. And then he's above all the streamers.
Joey P
Oh, I was right. He's tight end six on the air.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah.
Joey P
Nailed it. He's tight and sick. He's just fine. He's just fine. He's not gonna kill you. Sometimes he might help you. Should I trade James Cook for Rushy Rice and jcm? Yes, I think so too. I think that's. That's enough of a haul there. Be interesting to see what the Bills do after two straight losses. Coming out of a buy too.
Andrew Erickson
Just saying. Maybe play James Cook on third down. Maybe. We'll see.
Joey P
That would be nice. That would be nice. Got confused earlier. Garrett Wilson for Pickens. What side you want? I want Pickens.
Andrew Erickson
Yeah, I think that Pickens has a quarterback. Yeah. Just. Just wipe your hands clean of. Of the Jets. I think it's probably the best.
Joey P
And you're cancing every other piece of your body. Whatever, Whatever. You can just be clean of the jets, please. So bad. He's one and done right? Glenn, for you. He's gonna be done right.
Andrew Erickson
I don't know, man. You got the. You know, the owner was saying that it's not his fault. It's quarterback's fault so.
Joey P
Well, I don't know man. The owner did sign the quarterback, right? Like he's writing the check after all. Mirin's question Full PPA or trade Saquon from Metcalf and Ramandre. I don't love that.
Andrew Erickson
I think you should be. I feel like you could get more than this for Saquon Metcalf. I like Metcalf. I don't like Ramandre. Rest of season I have just major like Bill. Yeah I think target a different running back even like Chase Brown.
Joey P
Man, stop saying Chase Brown.
Andrew Erickson
But he's the guy to buy. He's the buy running back.
Joey P
Breeze and pierce off for J.K. and T. Higgins.
Andrew Erickson
Breeze and J.K. that's I slightly prefer.
Joey P
J.K. pure soul so breeze and pierce off for J.K. and T. Higgins.
Andrew Erickson
Jake has got a really good matchup this week.
Joey P
I like J.K. and T. Higgins side because Pierce all's hurting Breeze. Hall plays for the jets like I like Pierce.
Andrew Erickson
Stop it there. Your analysis was spot on sometimes.
Joey P
Look guys, talent is great, but if talent doesn't have a facilitator of the football to move the chains to get first downs to get them in scoring positions, they can't really score you fantasy points.
