Buy Low & Sell High Trade Targets Ahead of Week 6 + Worry-O-Meter (10/14 Fantasy Football Podcast)

This is Fantasy Football today from CBS Sports. Swallow Play! Can you believe this? It's a no again. It's time to dominate your fantasy league. It's to the races, play stays at his feet. Just gotta go to the distance. Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. [MUSIC PLAYING] It is Wednesday morning, and Dave Richard has already made a trade. Congratulations, Dave. What did I do? You traded Sake Want Barclay for AJ Brown. Didn't you? I did. Yeah. Podcast league had just happened. I have a co-manager who makes these deals. Yeah, hide your back? Yeah, I had no idea that Danny did that. Well, he did it in Sake Want Barclay. Good. What an amazing deal. Third most traded player in our league. Is that an amazing deal? You like it? You're happy? No, it's close. I'm not going to say that it's bad. No, I think-- It's even-- I have a trade chart. I think we should make Dave look at the trade chart. I'm going to guess it's not even less interesting. It's interesting. It's really interesting. It's not as far a fetch as you think. I've got AJ Brown at 19 and full PPR and Sake Want Barclay at 18. So point on the deal. No, you traded Barclay for AJ Brown. You want the deal? No, we got Barclay. No, you got Brown. Why am I looking at my roster and we have Barclay? Because you know why? Because we've got Sake Want Barclay. I don't know. I thought it said, all right, I'll very give yous. Hello, Heath. Yeah, I need to make-- I got a trade offer in the podcast league actually that I was considering. But my team's so terrible, I'm not even sure I should make trades. Just to be clear, when I find somebody to help me with the podcast league, I tell them, you're the pilot, I'm the co-pilot. And I want them to make the moves that they think for us for the team. I think the co-pilot generally knows when moves happen, though, like he's in the cockpit. I did. He's sometimes asked to push buttons, flip switches. No, not me, not this co-pilot. This co-pilot had no idea. You do have Sake Want Barclay. You gave up AJ Brown. Who plays first? I think it's first. I think Sake Want, it's first. All right, welcome, Jamie's here. Good morning, Jamie. Good morning. All right. Who's the most traded player in fantasy on CBS leagues? What do you think? Chase Brown. No. Hamst Adaboo. No. Good guess. 20 marks. No. Good guess. It's the biggest bust in fantasy, O'Marion Hampton. He is way ahead of everybody else. The level in wood like a word. Who? Colson Loveland would like a word. I saw that notification yesterday from in Yahoo Leagues, O'Marion Hampton is no longer on the do not unable to cut list. Oh, wow. So you can cut O'Marion Hampton if you want to. Not only is he the most traded player, he has been traded more than 100 more times than the second most traded player who is Olly Gordon. Who would you guys rather have rest of season Olly Gordon or O'Marion Hampton? Hampton. It's Hampton. Hampton. OK. Hampton. Maybe they've been played at traded for each other a lot. Maybe. When be surprising. Another duo that's very close in the trade chart. Yeah, that's crazy. All right. So anyway, we're going to tell you our buy lows, our sell highs. We're going to do the worryometer. Talk a lot about the Eagles today, because Jamie's going to tell you to buy low on the Eagles. But two of the guys on the worryometer are Eagles. Devante Smith and St. Juan Barclay. We're going to preview Thursday night football. Seattle at Denver. No, no, no, no. And we got your grade, the trades. And oh, a top 12 for the rest of the season. If we were drafting round one today, what would it look like? First, some news and notes. Just quarter, but we don't have any quarterback updates really. But we're hoping for Michael Penex Jr. and Caleb Williams. They are facing each other. Chicago at Atlanta. Running back news. Travian Henderson is weak to weak. DeAndre Swift, he has some hip and knee injuries. And we know Kyle Menon guy is banged up. So did anybody pick up or getting ready to pick up Rochon Johnson, thinking that he might get some run this week at Atlanta? I started Rochon Johnson in the league last week. That's how good my season is going. Running back. What's that? Not yet? All right. Yeah, I mean, it's not like Swift didn't play. He did play. He didn't play much in the second half. But I think he had one touch in the second half, right? They were getting blown out, but it's still concerning. One or two touches, yeah. I felt so stupid. And then in Rochon Johnson's quarter, like nine points in the fourth quarter. So I only felt a little bit stupid. It's good for you. And here's what Cincinnati offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said about the running backs. He said, quote, I think we'll continually assess how that touch share between Pee Ryan and Chase Brown should play out. Every game's different. What type of scheme we lean into is going to factor into that. Obviously, what we ran more of yesterday leans into what Somajé does well, which is get downhill and run through contact. And then the author of the article, Paul Dana Jr. of the athletic wrote is what Paul wrote. This is not a quote from the coordinator. He wrote, which way they decide to operate will go a long way to dictating the usage of Pee Ryan versus Brown. But Brown will continue to have a major role in either system. His impressive work in pass protection and making defenders miss out of the backfield are snug fits for the pass heavy approach. And by the way, there's a little context here that basically saying if they want to run out of shotgun, it might be more of a Pee Ryan thing. They want to run under center, might be more of a Chase Brown thing. But Dave, what are your thoughts on this now? Because Chase Brown is a super hot topic at the moment. You've got to be concerned. I don't blame the Bengals for utilizing a second back when the first back is ineffective. And there's definitely something to the whole shotgun versus under center thing. And this is probably something that I'm going to go ask Scott Turner about. So the show will come out Wednesday with Scott, and then I'll ask him his thoughts moving forward on Brown. And Pee Ryan, and whether or not Pee Ryan is even worth a look in fantasy. So you're going to, you got to ask Scott Turner about the J and Daniels thing, right? What do you think? You have to. I mean, it's not going to be a big focus because it's not fantasy, but of course. Yeah, good stuff. All right. And what do you think he's going to say, by all means? Well, he had a pretty strong take on it that it was from what I could tell that he's really putting it on J and Daniels. He's very correct. It is on J and Daniels. It depends. I don't know what the coaches were saying. The coaches have to remember. Really? The coaches told him run a play, run the ball, right into the line of scrimmage, and then try and spike the ball. I don't know what they told him. Did they tell him? We don't have any timeouts. You need to do something quicker. Did they just not tell him that? I don't know. It seems like the coaches told him nothing. Kind of seems that way. I mean, that's sort of what he hinted at, but, but I don't know because one of the players said that they knew they didn't have any timeouts. But the players didn't certainly didn't act like that. So I don't know. Also, for those of you who didn't see, it's been pointed out that Daniels got his footstep done by his left guard on that play, and it seemed to just send everything into a tailspin basically. It just really threw him off. And be clear. I think J and Daniels is partially to blame. I just think, like, Dan Gwynn's also to blame lots of people to blame. Yes. That's fair. I thought it was a great play, personally. I thought they actually did. Perfectly. This is what I kind of made reference to yesterday on the CBS Sports Network show. I don't think it aired on CBS Sports Network, but we just, you know, that same shit. In weeks six through eight last year, after Chase Brown got into a really bad, got off to a really bad start, Chase Brown had 32 carries over the next three games over weeks six through eight. And Samajepurine had 22 carries. So there is some history of Chase Brown struggling. And then them going to a 60/40 split. And then P. Ryan got hurt. And that is when Chase Brown's season really took off. But the banks have a history of splitting the carries more evenly than we want. A tap and more often than not with Chase Brown, right? He wasn't actually that good until Zach Mosk got hurt, and then he was like the best running back in fantasy. And he wasn't until Samajepurine got hurt. He wasn't actually that good, and then he was one of the best running backs in fantasy. So we're only a couple of weeks away. There you go. Well, okay. He's relevant. So I'll just throw out some trade talk with Chase Brown here. Chase Brown or looking at the most traded list, Basel Tutan. Chase Brown. Chase Brown. Chase Brown. Chase Brown. Chase Brown or Michael Wilson. Brown. Chase Brown. Mike Still Brown. Matthew Golden. Brown. Getting closer, but Brown. Depends on what I need. Mike Neighbors. Malik. Same exact territory for me. Brown. Okay. And Raheem Sanders is on IR. We don't know about Quinshaw and Judkins. And James Cook has been warned about his fumbling. Coach put him on notice. So stop. Also, I think I saw, did they open up the window on Dylan Samson? I don't know if they've officially done it, but it sounds like it's going to happen. Okay. JSN was limited. I think we expect him to play on Thursday. John Jennings could be a trade candidate, according to Ian Rappaport. Tyree Kill. Jamie, where are we at with Tyree Kill? He was found liable for two counts of battery, but he was not found liable for eight other counts. So he seemed to be happy with the results of this case. What sure advice? Drop him, stash him. What do you think? I mean, if you could stash him, that's obviously the smart move to do just in case he signs, but at this point, it's hard to envision a team taking a chance on him without maybe any potential fallout from it, just given the fact that it's. Such a you know prominent case and and high profile player or former player I don't know I I don't have a lot of high aspirations for Tyree kill compared to where we were at a couple weeks ago. Great All right, I mean still I feel like you could go out there and be all right, but Yeah, all right. It's what we'll even be allowed to. Yeah, it's a complicated situation Did I say Ty Johnson was warmed about his fumbles? It seems no James cook well people were telling me that I didn't I said James cook I'm James cook James cook was having his fumbles he's warned It's finished up the news and notes here lad Maconkey and Quentin Johnson have a chance to play this week Whereas Trey Harris is week to week. They're facing the chiefs. Then they have a buy lad Maconkey's on the worry Ometer. I do have some interesting stats about Maconkey. I'll just tell you real quick the pressure rate for For Justin Herbert this year is about 45% I think when he has thrown to lad Maconkey his pressure rate is about 17% so It because because of Maconkey's role. He's going down field a lot more. He's lining up out wide more So he needs a clean pocket basically to throw to Maconkey and obviously that's tough Let's see what else we got in terms of injuries Jalen Coker is on track to play this week for the bangles tight end Tanner Hudson's out for the season He's you know sometimes running routes and getting targets and Joe Brady says he wants to get Dalton arcade more involved So maybe don't drop concage just yet The Rams are gonna be without their left tackle Allerick Jackson for two games Although he will appeal that suspension Rishan Slater is on IR for the Chargers and Joe Walt is going to see a specialist So they're gonna be without their tackles. It seems for a while. I don't know for sure It's bet with all but that's not good Carolina right tackle Taylor. Moton could make his season debut this week New England left tackle will Campbell is week to week and Jacksonville left tackle Anton Harris and is out At least three to five weeks tough break for them and they get Houston in London this week And I'll just leave it at that. Let's get into some by-laws here Jamie, who are you buying low on? Well, you mentioned at the Eagles the schedule coming up is very favorable Hopefully the the two main guys are going to be healthy in terms of Sayquan Barclay and Devante Smith That will obviously help Jalen Hurts and I think Dallas got her coming back last week You know shake up the rust hopefully he's going to be fine rest of season Clearly the offensive line which was expected to be a strength is no longer going to be a strength But I don't think it's going to be a disaster based on we saw last week against Jacksonville So I think just looking at the overall picture and how everybody feels about Philadelphia It's easy to go and try and trade for these guys while their value is so low. So You're not gonna be able just to get Devante Smith and say Juan Barclay for free You have to give up something probably pretty significant to get them But now is the time to try and do that before you know both come back and maybe do something this week gets Carolina And who would you rather have Devante Smith or Sayquan Barclay Smith You agree yeah, are you are you coming around on this atom because you were very hesitant about buying the Eagles on Sunday morning and Sunday night when I said it So This was this came up on beyond the box score. If you look at the worst five worst offenses in football right now I can't remember the bottom three Tennessee and Miami are definitely in there. I'm forgetting one The Chargers chart. Yes. Thank you. And and those are teams where I'm not necessarily looking to buy low, right? Maybe McConkey, but um the fourth worst team is Denver The fifth worst offense is Philadelphia And I feel very differently about Denver and Philadelphia like I'm much more concerned about Denver But I do think that There's some signs here for Philadelphia that we're ignoring first of all their offensive line easily could be a disaster Their right tackle Marquell Bell is is a rookie who's not playing well They you know they don't have jerk ins they don't have Johnson it could be horrible or actually to just be bad But one game isn't going to change my mind um Also Like they're one of the they have the lowest three-and-out percentage in football or the worst three-and-out percentage in football And they haven't played a tough schedule You know like they've played what they've played um they played the Rams commanders titans and bears Like that those aren't tough games and well they also played the Rams and Jigs I think you yeah good I think you just know what you're getting you're not getting the players that you drafted or at least right now You're not getting the players that you drafted. You're still getting very good players, though So the offense has not worked with the new coordinator the offensive line has changed The players are battling through injuries You know, especially in the case of sake when he's older So I think you just have to be realistic like you're not drafting maybe a borderline number one Running back or wide receiver, which is where they were drafted. You're probably drafting a number two guys We discussed last week at him that Barclay if we were redrafting right now would be around three pick at the earliest Smith would probably be around four pick at the earliest So you know you're looking at players that are Have lower values and lower rest of season outlooks, but can still be serviceable starters And so again as a matter of what the trade competition would be I think it's worth exploring it just to find out And look the fifth worst team the fifth worst offense in football last year was the Saints So it's not like you can't have a great player I still think de monday smith could be just as good as we drafted to read I do too. He is one of the highest target shares in the NFL when he's on the field And they might be throwing more That's the other factor. Yeah, but they didn't have Barclay last week and the thing about Barclay We can get it. I mean, he was on the worryometer. Yeah, we'll save it for the worryometer Let's take a break and we'll get to Heath and Davies by-lose We'll tell you who to sell high on and we'll be right back on fantasy football today Delivered by little Caesars the official pizza sponsor of the NFL right now scored two favorites just for you With Detroit style slices and sticks you get two pieces of Detroit style deep dish pepperoni pizza With crispy caramelized cheese edges and four pieces of buttery garlic flavor Dippable cheese sticks with a sign of crazy sauce for just 499 Heck, that's the biggest duo since Monday nights and football Since touchdowns and victory dances since arm chairs and quarterbacks.

He threw you by and low on I am buying low on breeze hall We always like to buy low on injured players and carnaltate to we all got really excited about and then he had a complete no show Last week, but I still believe in the talent. I think he has shown very well so far this season And I would expect carnaltate to be a border. No, not even to borderline a top 24 wide receiver raster season Would rather have jalen waddle or carnaltate tape Wow Dave jamey waddle or tape Still waddle but it's close It's definitely close. I will take waddle Okay, heath With you know, this question has come up several times this week now With braille and Alan playing pretty well Mm-hmm. Does that make you nervous about buying low on breeze hall? You know, they did this weird thing Where they made braille and Alan the third down back and like that was how they were spelling breeze hall I am hopeful after they've seen him as a rusher and he's actually not had much success catching the ball during the stretch without breeze hall That we get I think you're gonna see more carries for braille and Alan I'm hopeful that breeze hall is just playing on third downs Because that's where he's best and he did have ten catches in Two full games in one partial game to start the year. So I think he's going to be better I'm full ppr than non ppr if Alan takes more of a rushing role But I it's everybody's in a committee almost and so yes, it'll be a split But I'm hopeful that the split changes just a little bit when hall comes back and Alan's used more where he's good As a rusher and halls use more as a pass catcher two teams that have terrible run defenses this year buffalo and Miami The jets play them three times between week seven and twelve along with the raiders and the chargers I really like the breeze hall call You do okay Um all right Dave who are you're oh actually let me throw out some breeze halls sorry breeze hall or Chase Brown I breeze higher Yeah neither one I was gonna play this week probably so yeah, I'll go breeze hall. I know chase brown isn't playing this week. Yeah breeze hall or DJ more Hall breeze hall really interesting. Oh really Uh Dave we're up to you in your by-lose Dakprus Scott is still throwing to two of the best receivers in fantasy as numbers haven't been amazing And it's the exact same script as last year defense has not taken a step forward Offensive line is still solid. I wish it was a little bit better. They didn't play great on Thursday Maybe they can rectify that but Dakprus Scott is numbers to get and so if you're struggling a quarterback He's the one to go and target Love it. Okay. Is that it? I thought you had one more. I do basal tooton Just love the opportunities. He's been getting in Jacksonville I don't see any reason why they would take him off the field for crystal rod regas and Well two weeks removed from him having almost an amazing game penalty suck And I would imagine that he's one of these backs that will eventually put together a match a game where It's 15 plus touches and he gets a couple of long runs with the touchdown I don't think it's gonna happen this week. So we've got some time on the base basal tooting by low next week is probably even better. But if you wanted to get ahead of it and the price is right, basal tooting is a running back that you can go after. I'll add this. I'm in a keeper league and our running backs just got absolutely decimated. I don't mind Hampton is our best running back. That tells you how it is. We already made one trade to acquire James Cook giving up future draft picks. We might make another for basal tooting. Hopefully getting him at a lower price, obviously a lower price than James Cook, but certainly a lower price, just based on what he's been doing. And then hopefully after the Jaguars buy, we see him go off and have himself a good second half of the year. I think I saw a clip from beyond the box score. I don't know who said it, but I thought it was well said that basal tooting may just be a better football player than he is, a fantasy football player, Adam Azar. You don't want to argue at Jacob Gibbs about basal tooting. Oh, I've been down that road a couple times in the last month. I think this is one of the maybe kind of hidden storylines coming up in the next month that I'm afraid this offensive line for Jacksonville could derail the offensive success. Toot and already ranks dead last in yards before contact for rush attempts. Now they just lost an offensive lineman for the next month. It was a unit that we kind of talked about was kind of walking a tight wire coming into the year. And yeah, he's still averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He is really good, but he also has 10 targets in five games. So first of all, he plays Houston this week. - He's a really good trap back. - Easy. So I try to compare him to Bucky Irving. I think they're very similar. - Good call. - Right, but Jacob's point was like the Jaguar's offensive environment is so much better than the Bucks offensive environment. That's a very good point. - Where do you guys stand on Toot and versus Bucky? - Toot and better player, Bucky better PPR. - It's a great way to put it. - Bucky better player, two better offensive environment. - Both who would you rather have on your fantasy team if you could pick one? - I would pick Bucky, Bucky. - Would you really? Okay, and the thing is with him, he had I think seven, four and four targets in three games with Baker Mayfield. So that's what we're hoping for here. Just who's a bigger threat to lose goal line carries? Toot and or like, yeah, like who's gonna lose more goal line carries? Who's gonna get there more often? It's probably gonna be Toot and I don't know. Who's gonna score more touchdowns? I guess this is the question. I don't know. - I don't know. I mean, I think they're the Spiderman, I mean, in a lot of ways. You know, there's a lot of similarities just in how they're used and the players that are in the backfield with them. In the case of Tampa Bay, there's two guys that you gotta have a little bit of a concern about 'cause Gainwell still has a little bit of a role. Obviously, Jacksonville's just two guys that touched the ball. Look when Alan just plays on third downs. So I have more hope for Bucky just because of what Baker Mayfield will do for him. It just feels like Liam Cohen wants to keep toot in this role. He's gonna give him occasional like the direct snap against Denver, you know, give him occasional goal line chances, but it just doesn't feel like enough. - Okay, yeah, it's a. Who has a better snap share this season, do you think? - Oh, I don't know. I'm gonna guess toot in there. - I would say Bucky. - No. - Yeah, I don't toot in there. - I have no idea. - Let's see, I'm looking it up. Bucky's at 61% toot in's at 56%. - Yeah, my numbers are lower but similar. - Bucky ahead of toot in. - And look, this is a very interesting week for Bucky. If you wanna talk about it, now I have him as so I can't. - Yeah, sure. - This game that he just had against one of the worst defenses in the NFL without Baker Mayfield. And then I wanna see if Todd Bowles backs up what he said, which is this is who we are, basically meaning like a running team and Bucky's our guy. Show me, show us, prove it. Let Bucky go, let him be a goal line option again, let him, you know, carry your team. He's got the potential to be great. We've seen it several times in his career, it just hasn't been consistent for a full season. So I think he stays healthy, there's a lot to love about him, but it's just hard to buy. So if you can trade him for something great at this point, that's something I would explore. - All right, last point, carries inside the three. Amongst the Jaguars and the Bucks, Basel leads the way and carries. He's got three. Sean Tucker and Chris Rodriguez are tied for two. Bucky Irving has one. So if you wanted to know who wins on that tie breaker, obviously the Jaguars do because they get closer to the goal line just in general, but Basel, too, and does lead the way there with three. - I want to tie together the cell high in the Bilo, Bucky or Breeze's rest of season. - I have Breeze higher. - I would take Breeze. - By the way, this is surprising to me, just looking this up now. If you look at plays run inside the five yard line, Jacksonville is averaging 1.4 per game. Tampa Bay is averaging 1.3 per game. - For completely different reasons because Jacksonville is a little scorched from further away. - And Tampa Bay doesn't get there. - Yeah, I guess let's take, oh, that's from the three yard line, not the five yard line. Let's take a look at. - It's interesting that it's that close though. - Points per game. I just want to see how they do. The Jaguars are 11th and points per game and Tampa's 25th. So if you think they're like the same player basically, you should probably hit your wagon to the guys on the much better offense. Then again, could Tampa Bay's offense get better? I suppose it could. - Well, and it's more targets. - Well, you talked about it before the year though. How are running backs good on bad offenses? - We catch passes. - We catch a bunch of bad. I think like Bucky, if when Baker's back, Bucky's reception upside is maybe triple-tutants. - Right, we didn't really see it when Allen was injured at the start of the season for two. You know, like that was the hope is like, he was going to be more involved in the passing game. I just, I don't know why Liam Cohen doesn't set him free. I think part of it is that triple-loans-- - The past section is a problem. - Triple-loans doesn't throw that much. I mean, and I don't think that's by design. They just haven't run that many plays. So it could be better, but it's not gonna be Bucky territory in terms of time. - You got Parker Washington and Brenton Strange and Josh Cameron. - He can't really. - So if I'm trading Bucky Irving, am I trading him for sake one Barclay? - I don't know if that's-- - I don't have Bucky at this point. - Yeah, it's close. - All right, am I trading him for AJ Brown? - Yes. - That, that one's a square deal. - I probably was enough to a square. - But I was lower, yeah, I was lower on Brown, so. - Would you trade Bucky Irving for, let's say, Quinchon Judkins and Mike Evans? - Yes. - I think Bucky for Evans would be a square deal. - Yeah, if you're getting something on top of it, I think it's worth it. - Yeah, it's a monster deal. - Okay, all right. Let's go to Dave's cell highs. Dave, who are your cell highs? Oh, Jamie, do you have one, I'm sorry. - No, I had two, Dac and Tudon. I think I can give you a third one if you want one. - No, I don't wanna do that, Jamie. - Jamie, if he had another-- - I did, I had the Andre Swift just with the, you sort of-- - I thought you asked me. - Touched on it with the news that he's dealing with some potential injuries here. And while there is no common on guy, maybe now's the time to flip him. - Yeah, no, Dave, I did ask you first then I jump out to Jamie, that was my fault. All right, who are your cell highs, Dave? Can Jalen Warren keep it up? That's the question you have to ask yourself. Now, obviously, if you have Jalen Warren, it's awesome, you're not worried about Rico Dottel, you're not worried about the offense, you're not worried about a thing. But he's working on some career highs right now that would blow away what he did last year. For example, he's averaging almost 18 touches per game. I'm reading this off of true media right now. He is averaging 82 rush yards per game. His previous high was last year at 59. 5.9 yards per carry is huge. 5.2 targets per game is almost one target. It's effectively one target per game higher than he's had in his entire career. I'm not saying that he's gonna suck. I am saying that there's a chance that he does come down a little bit from this unbelievable sugar high that he's been on the last couple of weeks. And so if you can turn him into a player that we'll talk about as a top 12 option later on in this show, I say do it. Because I don't think any of us are gonna have, I'll speak for myself. I don't have Jalen Warren in my top 12. And the dudes averaging almost 19 PPR points per game. Top 12 overall, yeah, not 12. Top 12 overall, top 12, running back different story. He's got, let's see, he's got four or more targets in every game, which is really encouraging. So is he the best running back we've talked about so far? We've talked about Breeze Hall and two in Bucky and Barkley. I mean, he's the most, and Dave's not wrong. He's the most obvious sell high candidate you could find. Like, you know, you, you just look at where he's at right now and just knowing that there's some level of competition coming. Like you can make the case for Chubah Hubbard, you can make the case, maybe Rodney DeAndre Swift, you can make the case for these guys that are getting this chance right now and say, okay, how is this sustainable? It's not. - Yeah. - Romandre's about to enter that realm himself. - Would you rather have Chubah Hubbard or Jalen Warren? - Chubah, they're back to back in the trade chart and Chubah is a spot higher. - Yeah. - But we still like him. I mean, would you take him in the second round, the third round if you were drafting today? - Somewhere around there. - Jalen Warren. - I think it would be probably round three. - Yeah. - Dave. - And again, this isn't a disrespect and say that he's staying serious a below average player or anything like that because people love to put words in our mouths. It's just an opportunity is there to turn him into a stud. why wouldn't you do it? Okay, but the thing is, yeah, let's say you wanted to trade them for Chase Brown and something. I'm like a little nervous about Chase Brown. I could understand. Yeah, I don't blame it. Really working out could really work out, but I would want to, what would be the end something if you were trading Jalen Warren for Chase Brown and something? Like a little one. Jalen Warren by himself. Yeah, Jalen Warren for Chase Brown and? I think that's like DJ Morris Luther Burton, this range. I was going to say Carnivore's a little better than that. I'd shoot a little higher than that if you could. Well, I mean, obviously it's too tired for that, but I think that's what this is realistic. DJ Moore, I think, is realistic. Well, then he'd be my by-law, DJ Moore, but Dave, who else is your so high? Well, I sent you Armandre Stevenson. You think I read your email? No, I'm just kidding. It looks like there's a graphic for it, so I would say so. Yeah, I mean, he's got an opportunity now to lead the way for the Patriots run game. I don't think he's a bad player either. It's just another opportunity to turn him into something better. You're going to pair Armandre Stevenson with another player on your team, and you go and you get a top 12 player. And we know that eventually, Travian Henderson will be back, and I don't think we're expecting Travian Henderson to be a dynamo. But what have we seen the last couple of weeks before Travian got hurt? They were splitting the rushing. It'll take something off of Armandre's plate. Okay. Heath, so high on. Yeah, Javante Williams, Ted Rurumic Millen, awesome players. Let's sell real high. I am just a little nervous about the way that Javante's getting this done. Six touchdowns and five games. The rushing efficiency has been awful, basically, every week, but one. And there is a, it doesn't have to be immediate. He could have a good game against the Packers. You guys kind of a mixed schedule for the next month. And then it goes like about as bad as it can get. Eagles, Seahawks, by Rams, Jacksonville. I don't think he's going to keep scoring touchdowns at quite this rate. He's probably going to score double-digit touchdowns now. But he's currently like easily a top eight running back, I think. I would like to sell at that cost. Wow. Okay. Okay. Would you rather Jalen Warner, Javante Williams? Javante. Probably Javante. Yep. He does have 20 targets and five games, which is nice. But okay, I could see your point. That is a really, really tough stretch. Sell high. Starting in, yeah, 12, starting in week 12. It's pretty bad. And honestly, like the run defense even starting in week 10. San Francisco, Tennessee, then Philadelphia Seattle. All right. Ted Arola. All right. Why? Why Ted Arola? I mean, he was, he's very, very good. And again, it's, I think, I was, I was a little higher on him in draft season than consensus. And so I'm not saying he's going to go back to what he was last year. I think he's still going to be better than he was last year. But Jalen Coakers coming back. And I think this is a true one A one B situation where Coakers might be better half of the games. In fact, when they've both been healthy over like the last eight games, Coakers been better. So I just think he's probably going to be a middle of the road wide receiver, too. And not a top 10 wide receiver like he's been. This is the exact same scenario with Devonta Adams. Like you had the one huge spike game without Coakers on the field. And he's still going to be amazing with Coakers on the field as he's just said, but just not as amazing. You know, so max my value, I get it. I much rather 10 aerobic millen than Adams. Oh, I agree. Yeah, but I have the same thing. It's like you saw how good he could be when he's a solo act. And you also saw what he looks like when he's going to do it. You know what? The second I said much rather. I was going to say like dial that back a little bit. Devonta Adams is still in his goal line wide receiver role. Well, I don't think they went 13 personnel at near the goal line in this game much. And that's what I want to see. Like their tight ends are kind of injured right now. So when well, at least one of them is when they don't have to. If you just put Devonta Adams and Pukinakua next to each other on the goal line. And they've got like four variations of what those two guys are going to do. And you can't cover them both. But in week one, they went 13 personnel near the goal line. And Pukinakua was in. And in 2025, it was Devonta Adams almost exclusively before his injury. So that's what concern me. And then Devonta Adams target share with Pukinakua healthy is bad. It's like 10 aerobic millen doesn't have that issue. Obviously it was good last year for Adams. Like things are just different than they were last year. So things could go back to that. Well, and it depends on how much is staff are going to throw because like his target share is bad if we're looking at percentages. He also has 16 targets in the last two games with Pukinakua. I know. But I think it's six in week one. So like if he's getting seven targets a game. And two more in the end zone every week. In week five, I have the Rams with I have Pukinakua with 18 snaps and 13 personnel Devonta with three. Right. That's a that's a big deal. Right. Like that was not the case last year, especially near the goal line. All right. That's that's those are some good names. Thank you very much guys. We have to get to our top 12 for the rest of the season. Then we'll do Seattle at Denver. I want to remind everyone on Paramount Plus Wednesday nights NFL play action. New episodes drop. And I'm on it for about five minutes each week. And today what what happened yesterday during taping. I honestly think was the coolest thing that's ever happened in my career. So I encourage you to watch it NFL play action on Paramount Plus. I'm not exactly sure what time I'm thinking like seven or eight o'clock it drops Eastern, but Wednesday nights the new episodes come out. And just make sure watching this week's episode. It was it was really amazing. I was like buzzing about it after after the show was really cool. And also CBS Sports Network Tuesdays and Thursdays we have shows at New N Eastern, but even if they don't air on CBS Sports Network, they do air on HQ and they are on YouTube.com/fantasy football today. So you can see Heath, David, Jamie, tomorrow going over some rankings for week six. Break top 12, break or top 12. Let's do the top 12. Let's start with Heath Cummings, your top 12 rest of season. This is going to look a lot like everybody else's top 12 for the rest of the season until you get to the second half. Maybe so I've got it Gibbs, Bijan, JSN, Chase, Kenneth Walker, Puka, Brock Bowers, a Monroe St. Brown, Jonathan Taylor, Drake London, Zay Flowers, CDLam. Flowers. Oh, man. Yeah. I can't really argue much with that. Gibbs, Bijan, JSN, Chase Walker, Puka, Bowers seven, St. Brown. I guess we're not worried about on Monroe St. Brown. Jonathan Taylor, Drake London, Zay Flowers, CDLam. Very cool. All right. Let's see Dave's top 12. Gibbs, Bijan, JSN, Walker, Puka, Chase's sixth for me, CDS seventh and Monroe's eighth. Derek Henry is ninth, Brock Bowers is tenth. James Cook is 11th. Drake London is 12th. Okay. All right. So we have Henry in there. I pointed out on Beyond the Box Square. He has a pretty tough schedule coming up and he's not like, he's not running all that well. It's like 4.2 yards per carrier or something. You have Henry in there. He doesn't. You have lamb seventh. He has lamb twelfth. You don't have flowers in there. You do have James Cook. And you don't have Taylor. They'll probably be like 13. He's right outside. Yeah. All right. Jamie, let's see your top 12. Yeah. Most of the same. The only differences, I guess, would be Jefferson and Olave in the top 12 for me compared to everybody's. Justin Jefferson, eight, Henry, 10, Olave, 11, Bowers, 12. So you have a lot of a lot of over London. I do. Henry, Olave, Bowers. Everybody has Bowers, right? David Bowers, 10, heath, heath, heath, heath and seventh. Jamie has him 12th. Everyone has the same top six in some order. Gibbs, and Bijon, and then the next four are Ken Walker and the three top receivers, JSN, Puka, and Jamar Chase. You all have JSN as your number one receiver. Dave and Jamie have Chase as number three and Puka, too, whereas heath has JSN, then Chase, then Puka receiver. But the top six is the same. Everyone has lamb. Everyone has Bowers. Everyone has the same ground. I'm on Ross St. Brown. And then the last three spots are divided between Taylor, London, Flowers, Henry, Cook, and Olave. And Jefferson for me. And Jefferson. And Jefferson. Is there anything, any name in there that you guys think no way he doesn't belong to the top 12? No. Can make the case for Taylor. Just because we know what happens when the cult start losing, his production typically goes down. And there isn't, there is a, well, look how he does and wins versus losses. Now, this year might be a little bit different, but for the most part, like you have to worry about the direction of this offense. Yeah. Yeah, they're terrible, too. Let's see, their two, his big games were, his losses were weeks one, to and five and he scored 25. five, 29 and 11 fantasy points in the losses. He does get three to four targets. - Yeah, 9.2 PPR points in a win. - Yeah, against Houston. Yeah, it's just an argument. I guess you could also say he's got Minnesota and Jacksonville coming up soon, but whatever. All right. - Like, yeah, and how about flowers? How about, Heath goes out there for flowers. David Jamie, you guys agree? Disagree, you didn't put him in your top 12, but do you think it's justifiable? - There's six to eight receivers that you can say belong in the top 12. Christian Watson's having a great season. Flowers, for me, Jefferson. Both of those guys have London there. It's a lot of it. There's just so many different, I think, players that are having great seasons and you could probably make an argument for Garrett Wilson and a few others that are gonna finish the season strong. So, I don't, Henry was a little tough for me, but otherwise really, I think you could say, there's three running backs and that might be at that position. - Yeah, running backs having a tough year. Tough year for Chase Brown. - It's interesting, like, we did not include, we left, you know, the RB4 is right now? - Born? - No. - Cover? - I know. - Oh, Kyron. - Kyron. - Yeah. - Yep. - That's like, yeah. His role is fantastic. - No, it's maybe, this is super Kyron Williams role if it sticks. - Right, that's the if. That's why he's not at top 12. - He's definitely. - I thought about, I'm like 50 points in Yolo Heath with Stafford Kyron and Puka Monday night. And when Quorum got the touchdown, I was like, oh God, I'm gonna talk about Yolo to me today. It's the worst loss of my fantasy career. - Never. Well, first off, talk about it. - No, I'll talk about it. I was playing a team that probably should still be tanking, but they got tired of tanking. I'm not going to say their name. And I was like a 40 point favorite. And I, like, this team, every bad player that they started against me went off. And I mean, like, really went off. And so I was, I'll find the results. - I get that. - Yeah, Dave, you can give the name. Oh, I'm so mad about this. So I went in to Monday Night Football, down by like a 21, and I had Devonte Adams, or it must have been 18 or something. He scored exactly what I needed. And this person had, is it Quinten? Lake, who made a tackle in overtime to beat me by 0.3 points. 0.3 points, he had, I don't think he has the same starting lineup. - No, you did that week, but Smajepi Ryan, he started against me. Isaiah likely he started against me. Braylar Alvar, he had 0.7. - DiMario Douglas. Oh, I was, I'm still angry about it. Smajepi Ryan at DiMario Douglas and Quinten Lake for the win, that is amazing. All right, we got to take a break. We're going to quickly talk about the Thursday night game. It's not that much of a brain buster for you fantasy people out there. And we'll be right back and we'll have the worryometer to end the show and we'll try to grade your trades. We'll be back after this. Welcome back. - Just look at this roster, that's amazing. And I came into the week because I think the highest scoring team in the league and lost to DiMario Douglas and Smajepi Ryan and Quinten Lake. - Quinten Lake. - All right, so yeah, I think you could blame the loss on Tyler Shuck Heath. - He did score 1.8 points. - Yeah. Did he, I had him at negative points last week. - Yeah, this league is only one point for an interception lost. - Seattle is at Denver. - Ah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. - It's that of the game. Bodix is averaging 2.8 yards per carry on non-neal downs. The previous two years, the average 5.9 and 5.7 yards per carry on non-neal downs. This year, it's 2.8. All this talk about what's wrong with Denver's offense. Maybe he's just not healthy coming off the ankle surgery, but obviously they are an issue of that offense. And now they're facing Seattle. It is a short week, they're going to Denver, could be tough in the altitude. But question, I mean, let's do this one no more than five minutes. Other than Jackson, Smith and Jigba, is there anyone else in this game that is a must start or that you even want to start? Heath. - I'm probably going to start a manual Wilson. So I wouldn't call him a must start. He's an RB2 and on some of my rosters, I'm pretty excited about starting him. But other than that, should I make the DST joke? - Well, I've got three players I don't mind starting in this game. - The Seahawks for sure, what about the Broncos DST? - I don't mind that Broncos is a DST. - I'm not going to drop him. - Right. - And a manual Wilson, I think is a start. - Darnell's been very turnover prone, so. - Yes, he has. Is there any case for Darnell this week? - I mean, they're obviously banged up. The Broncos defense, especially if Fulf Anga doesn't play doubtful that Patrick's or Tan plays at this point. But still, you know, you're looking at what he's done. It's been a sliding scale the last two weeks, where he's passed front or 200 yards to the last two games and has combined three touchdowns and three interceptions. So you still got to give a little credit to Denver's defense. This is expected to be one of the lowest scoring games of the week. This just feels like, you know, if you missed the game, you didn't miss much. - Yeah, we're going to get some questions from the chat. Dobbins coming off a good game. So. - You saw Sean Payne said, right, that, you know, feeding him was something that, once he got going, that they were comfortable with. You wonder if that happens again. It's just tough to trust against Seattle. And usually the way that you beat Seattle with your running backs is a bit by throwing to them. So hopefully Harvey has some production 'cause last week-- - You day for the day. - Tyler Bridey. - Yeah. - You know, the thing is Harvey's role did not change. He ran, he ran the same amount, well, he didn't run the same amount of routes, but his route percentage rate was basically the same. His third down role pretty much was the same. He just had this unbelievably high target per out run rate the last two weeks. And this past week it was unbelievably low. So he could still, I mean, I guess, I'm going to say four catches. I'm just going to throw that out there, which is not really enough for me to start considering he basically gets almost no carries. But that's just a guess. I don't know, do you have your projections for this, Heath? How many catches are you expecting? - Probably three. - Yeah, all right. - Yeah, I think the snap share was all lower. They were playing in a competitive game and then they had a lead and Dobbins got hot against a bad run defense. So I don't blame them for leaning into Dobbins over Harvey. But I don't know if they're going to be, like to Jamie's point, I don't think they're going to be able to get away with that. I don't think they're going to be able to run that well against Seattle. - I think the snaps were probably lower. The route participation was the same. They didn't throw that much in a win against the terrible chargers, you know? But he ran only 13 routes. He had run 15 to 19 the previous three weeks. But the route participation rate was basically exactly the same. Harvey just didn't get targeted. So when we look at way or why are running backs, like if Damian, you're not going to know necessarily. But if I told you, Snake Wong Barkley were out, would you start Damian Pierce over either or both of the Broncos running backs. - Both. - Yes, both. - I consider him over both in non-PPR and over Dobbins and PPR. - You still have Harvey ahead of Dobbins and PPR? - I do, yes. - Okay. - 'Cause you think different gamescripts here. - Different gamescript, yep. And it's own coverage and Bonex is going to be throwing. Well, he's already throwing, short, short, short, short, short. But it's only going to continue now against cover three and cover six. - Would you start a manual Wilson or Marsha on the way against the Cowboys? - I'll take a listen. - Wilson. - Wilson or I'm not going to do that injury situation. Wilson or Michael Wilson at the Rams. - Michael Wilson. - Michael Wilson. - I might have a manual higher. - All right, I mean, obviously it's tough. - My end of this week, he's a high end number two running back. - The Broncos' run defense on paper doesn't look that good, but when they face normal running backs, I feel like they've been pretty solid. They've struggled against great running backs, a fire call. Looking at it now, they struggled against Kenneth Walker. They were okay against Tutton. They struggled against Kyron. They were okay against McCaffrey. They faced a pretty tough schedule and then they were good against Hampton. It was a long run by Dale. - Right. - Let's see if we have any questions from the chat. We're not going to start the tight ends. We're not going to start, oh, Jalen Waddle. It talked about Jalen Waddle, I guess. But real quick, we'll check questions. So Manuel Wilson or Jalen Coker. - Coker. - Wilson. - Coker and PPR. - Emmanuel Wilson or Ashton Gentie and PPR. - Wilson. - Gentie. - I believe I have Wilson higher. - Dobbins or Keenan Allen, PPR. - Allen. I agree. - I think I have Dobbins. - Harvey or Hampton? - Hampton. - Hampton. - I still go Hampton. - Waddle, Downs or Abouca. A bottle of buka, uh, down for me. Adam, Adam, break the tie, you don't get to do this on this show very often. I am going to go with, do we think Baker may feel it's going to play? No. No. And I'm going to go with Jalen Wattel. Uh, Wattel, Coker. I hate, uh, we're boring. Coker, by a lot of-- Coker. Yeah. I missed the question. It's Coker. Just say Coker. Coker. I don't really stop the good wide receiver this year. What does it have to do with that Wattel? No. I mean, you could argue that they have. And AJ Brown was, was really bad while he played. Lad McConkey had zero catches in the 40% of the snaps, 30% of the snaps they play. Michael Wilson was terrible. So you could argue that they have, Mike Evans just destroyed them, though. Terry McClure and had a big game against them, too. Bonix or Michael Pennix? How about Broncos or Texans? DST. How do you go, Broncos? I have to look at my DST rankings. Ah, Broncos one spot ahead of Texans. Six and so I have Broncos one spot ahead of the Texans. Are they six and seven, five and six? Do you guys have Wattel? I have him as a borderline two, three receiver and I hate it, like 28, I think 26. Hey, wait, Heath, where did you say you have the two DSTs? Five and six. Eleven. Now it starts right in 32 and 67. Ah, yes. Oh, Lee Huber that David I get. All right. Well, that's it for Thursday night football. No, no, no, no, no, no. Did I sell Jalen Wattel short, should we talk more about him or no? No. It's pretty clear that he's in the flex conversation and he's in our flex reluctant flex. Consult the rankings if you have any questions. It's pretty disappointing when you have four teams on a buy in all the injuries at that position. He's not more productive. I'd love to see him have a great game and then I try to sell. All right, let's do the worryometer. I don't know. Do we have to do Davante Smith and Stake one Berkeley or should we move on? Don't take so. Call them, but we'd rather have Davante Smith. I do think with Stake one Berkeley, like we need to see some stinking catches here. His route rate is so low, so much lower than it was last year, he's just not getting thrown at. But okay, Rob has Terry McCloren on the worryometer. He wants to know where we have him, where you guys on Terry McCloren, zero to a hundred. Two. Fifteen. Four. Forty one. Two or twenty, Dave. Two. Not worried at all. Two. Fifteen and forty one. Oh, my. It was about twenty. It would just go at twenty. Yeah. 19, 20, whatever. Uh, yeah, not worried, Dave, because we don't really, what does that mean? Because you don't have a high expectations for him or just because he's fine? I think he'll eventually be fine and he'll go back to being the number one target in the commander's offense. And I'm also hoping that Daniels can be a better thrower and get more volume. And that'll help obviously the target volume go up, up, up for McCloren. We know. I think he's a bi-low guy. We almost have. I can almost, it feels weird to say it because he had his best year with Daniels, but it's just so obvious the target per out run rate. It's exponentially better with Mario than it is with Jaden Daniels year after year for Terry McCloren. So with with, uh, with Jaden Daniels, it was eleven point four percent in week one. In week two, his target per out run rate was 18% with Daniels and 42% with Mario. And then it was 29% in week three with Mario, back down to 14% last week with Daniels. That's too low. It's usually like 21ish, but it's usually like 31ish with Mario. So I just wanted to bring that up. And plus he has San Francisco this week. They're seventh best. Then a buy. Then the Eagles. Then the Rams. Yeah, Minnesota Jacksonville on the playoffs got Houston later. That's a good point. You're making a good case. All right. He's probably going to be what you drafted to be. Right? What? Depends on you drafted. What, what do you mean heath? Oh, like before the digs signing. Like are you saying that I certainly don't think that when we get to the end of the season, his numbers are going to be what you drafted to me. No, from here forward, from here forward, I, I don't know that I don't know that I would say probably. What do you think he's going to be? Boom bus number three wide receiver. Yeah, it's kind of way. Yeah. He's been outplayed so far by Stefan Diggs. Yeah. Production wise. And Diggs didn't play last week. We don't know when Diggs is going to return. That's obviously a big factor. And then it may be a benefit to him if Mario does healthy if Jay Daniels gets hurt or they shut down Jay Daniels because he's performed well with Mario over the last two years. So there's a lot of moving parts, I think, with this. Okay. From Mark Lowitz, Jeremiah Love. He wants Jeremiah Love on the worryometer. Oh, there's McConkey. Yeah, there we go. Jeremiah Love. 57. 87. Oh, dude, I'm like at 95, I'm almost to the point where I'm not worried because I'm just not doing anything with them other than keeping them on my bench. So this is a good one, Adam. These numbers are way too big for me. I'm going to go with 81. Wow. 80.3. Hey. That was outstanding. Great job. Yeah. So we're very worried. What do you think has happened since week three when he played 64% of the snaps. He had 26 touches. He scored a touchdown. He was so good. He was burying Tyler Alger and everything has changed since then. Sounds like he got banged up. Sounds like the Cardinals aren't comfortable with him in a passing down's role or the hurry up offense. Offensive line has gotten worse. Game script is going to be the exact same thing pretty much every week for Arizona. And if his opportunities are limited, he's going to need explosive runs and he's not able to deliver those. So is it the 81% worryometer on Jeremiah Love's short term or also? No, I think it's. I think long term. Long term. Yeah. Long term for this year. Okay, my, I'm going to say this like my concern is until the fantasy playoffs and then he's going to have a spectacular fantasy playoffs when nobody's, when everybody's scared to start him because they don't have a, like that's the worst part of the way he, he's so run down already. They don't have a buy till week 13, but then after then that right after they're by the fantasy playoffs starts and he gets Jets Saints Raiders would be nice. Let's go back to Lad McConkey here. I skipped him. So worryometer on Lad McConkey. 78. Five. Would you say Jamie? 65. Oh, um, 30, oh God, 17. So that's like a 58ish, something like that, yeah, let's go to 58. Why not worry? Why not so worried? 57.7. Let's go. Thanks. We've really helped your math because we've only seen him play like one game healthy, three quarters of one game healthy and he was awesome. I went back, I watched all of his targets from week one, seven targets in three quarters, then he got hurt his ribs. Five catches 82 yards in a touchdown. What do you think the one common thing, every single target, the same thing happened and breaking Herbert trying to kill him clean pocket, oh, every single throw. And I gave that stat that he's being targeted, when he's targeted, Justin Herbert has a 17 percent pressure rate. Now, I looked, I've never really done this before, but when quarterbacks throw to their wide receivers, their pressure rate is lower than when it normally is. Makes sense, right? Because if you're being pressured, you're probably going to throw to a different position. You need time to throw to wide receivers, not always, but McConkey, the point I'd make about him, I've made it before, his role has changed so far this year. He is playing more out wide, used to be like two thirds in the slot, now it's two thirds out wide. His average route depth has shot up. He is, they're trying to make him like a deep X receiver practically. That's not going to work on a team that has the worst offensive line in football, basically. I think they need to go back to him being in the slot, short area guy yards after catch. That's kind of why I'm worried here. I don't think they can't. They don't have enough receivers, like even when he comes back, like Quinn Johnson may not play any time soon. Trey Harris is going to miss time with the hamstring, you're like, you don't have enough receivers to put him in the slot. I think when Johnson's on his way back, look, they have one game before they're by. They have chiefs in the buy, like Johnston will be back either this week or after. This week or after I would agree with that or right after he might get traded, Quentin Johnson. But also you could see Maconkey is being the only good player on the offense and maybe they just get in ball as much as possible. Yeah. He's a tough one. It's a tough cookie here. Heath, I like how not worried you are today. I like the vibe. Yeah. I'm pretty worried, yeah, okay. But it was Maconkey and McLaren, you were like, whatever, who would you rather have? Maconkey. Yeah, what? I have a few leagues, I have a few leagues with both Maconkey and DJ Moore. And in my mind, I'm thinking like DJ Moore could come back and really change my season. I'm not feeling that way about Maconkey. I was going to say, if I had a few teams with DJ Moore and Lad Maconkey, I'd be thinking I'm not going to look at those teams anymore. (laughing) Giant is worried about Josh Jacobs. Why do we think he's coming back? Worriedometer on Jacobs? - Coming back? - Yeah. - There's a lot to worry about with Josh. - 75%? - Yeah. I'm gonna say the exact same number. Just to make it easy on him. - You're 75% worried about him coming back. - It's about having him on your team in general. - It's week six, like you gotta be worried that he's gonna, you know, have we heard a word about him meeting with the commissioner? 'Cause that's the thing that has to happen. - Yeah, you're right. Ah, no, I'm gonna drop him like a little week before he comes back. - No, probably. - That was my day. - That was my day that it's announced. - I'd be so bad. All right, Kurt. Kurt, there's more to it than that though. We don't, what shape is he in? Is he gonna be ready to go? Is he immediately gonna go back into 20 touches of game? - Are we? - I'm sure this offensive line is getting better. - That's not much. - Yeah, I hope he there lead running back, but he won't be 20 touches right out of the gate. No way. - No. - Kurt Huff wants the worryometer on Omari and Hampton, and I think we may have just broken the worryometer. (laughing) - There's a most worrisome guy, 95. - Yeah, what did I say for Jeremiah? - It's gotta be the same for Hampton. - Oh. - Who, I'd rather have love. - Yeah, Spider-Man meme. - Love at least has a chance to like, - I don't know. - A way ahead of Valentine's Day. - I guess. - At least he started. - When they fired Mike McDaniel, maybe things changed for Hampton. (laughing) - What a year. - What a year. - And then Danny Perez. - The best thing, the best thing would be if they just promote Adam Gace to be the obvious coordinator. - Oh yeah, that'll fix it. - Danny Perez says worryometer for Bijan Robinson's schedule. He has 12 games remaining. Eight of them are against teams that are currently top and nine against running backs. - Zero. - Zero. - Negative zero. - Okay. - Let's do two minutes on grade the trade. Tobin van Kuver, grade the trade. Would you trade Devante Adams for AJ Brown in a standard scoring 10 team league? Give up Adams, get Brown. - Yeah, I have Adams at fit standard. - Yep. So F, I'll give, I'll say Brown, but it's pretty close to even. - For, I think an F is a little harsh. - You can't say grade the trade and then say would you rather have and give us two players? Because if we just, like we all say, what, what, what, what are we grading? - I can do that. Listen, you grade the trade, but you'd rather have Adams, but it's a key bonus. - What, what trade are we grading? He's asking which of these two players would you rather have? We don't know which one he has or which ones he was asking about. - He's asking about making a trade. He didn't grade the trade. - Would you trade Devante Adams for AJ Brown? - Right, but if you say grade the trade, there has to be a trade executed. That wasn't right. - Grade the trade. - There's no trade out. Adams, Adams for AJ Brown. Grade the trade. - F. - You can't tell me how to grade. - All right, this is from Tiago in Brazil. - Give up, Devante will, oh my gosh. She's give up Devante Williams in Teterovic Millon. Get JSN and Samaj P. Ryan. I have Chase Brown. - Javante and Teteroa for JSN and P. - Assuming you can fill the rest of your starting lineup spots, like it's a shallow or league, I think it's an A. - It's completely dependent on how deep the league is and who you have to start now because you're getting rid of those two guys. But JSN might score them both by himself. - Yep, it's almost dead even on the trade chart. - B minus. - From Costa, 12 team half PBR. Give up Bucky and St. Brown. Get B. John. I have Brian Robinson, Jr. - I think you're paying St. Brown for B. John. - Bucky and St. Brown for B. John. - C minus. - B. Boss. - I will say in the context of his team, I won't read the whole thing like he could get away with it 'cause he can just start B. John and Kenneth Walker and he has both handcuffs, rest of season. He's good at receiver. From Ryan, I have been offered Christian Watson and Basel Tutten for my Parker Washington and Jalen Warren. - No. - That's a D minus. - Jamie's really harsh today. - F. - All right, I'll give it a F too. - From Kevin. - Wow. - Yeah. No, I said I'll give it a F you, sorry. Kevin and St. Luke. - Should I trade a Buka for Woody Marks? - No. - Hmm. - I rather Marks. - F. - No, he's giving up a Buka for Marks. - Oh, hey. - It's dead even on the trade chart in B. P. R. - Hey. - See for Dave. No for me. A for Jamie, F and A. - Wow, F and A, from Chris. Should I trade Woody Marks for Emmett Johnson if I have Kenneth Walker? - Now you're giving up too much. - No. - And keep Woody Mark. - I don't hate that. - You were training away a rising running back for a handcuffs? - Like how good is Woody Marks going to be? It depends on you. - Better than Emmett Johnson right now. - He is, but you see the point here. It's like, it's just lock up that chief's backfield. It's not that bad. - It's a move right before the trade deadline, if anything. The assumption would be, and it would probably be the right one, that Emmett Johnson just slides into Kenneth Walker's role, but I don't think he's going to be Ken Walker. And there's probably going to be somebody else there. - Well, that's a dream hunt. - Emmett Johnson without Kenneth Walker on the field is worth more than Woody Marks, but that's not reality right now. - Yeah. - Right, why would you not just have two running backs that you can potentially start? - So I have a league where I have DeAndre Swift and Kenneth Walker, and I have Emmett Johnson and Kyle Menongai, and I'm really good at wide receiver. I don't need excess running backs, really. So I think-- - Well, what did you do this past week? - I started a manual Wilson. - So you have excess running back? - Well, for another week maybe. Yeah, like I picked up a manual Wilson. Your roster's not frozen. You can start someone else. And then when the chiefs have a buy, I might have an issue. Sorry, when the bears have a buy, I might have an issue. But I think the point is like there is some validity to just like locking up a backfield. Even if you're giving away someone like Woody Marks, but I understand where you're coming from. All right, that's it for the station. Oh, fine, I promise Dan, I'd read this question. So he's two and three, he has DeAndre Swift and-- - Dan hired. - Yeah. Should I trade Chase Brown and George Pickens for Pukka Nakua and Kyle Menongai? He has Swift. - Chase Brown and Pickens for Pukka Menongai. - Pukka's side wins. So yes, make the trade. - Meh. - See? - Sounds like-- - I mean, look, if Lamb is more injured than we know, then you're giving away the best player, potentially. - Meh. - That's still-- - How would you feel, Adam? - I'm not an assignment and the professor just wrote "Meh" on it. - It's been great. - How much effort I put into the assignment. - Right, well, yeah, I'm just going to use AI for all my assignments. No, we're going to talk to you tomorrow with starters in for the AMC home game. We'll see you then on Fantasy Football today. (upbeat music) - Paramount podcasts. Paramount Plus.
