Fantasy Football Week 2 Trade Advice Q&A: The Best Buy Lows and Sell High Targets (Ep. 2198)

This is an I Heart Podcast, guaranteed human. - Welcome to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Pros Live trade advice show. You must say trade deadline, but it's not that. Of course, it's not. This is the Fantasy Q&A. I'm Chris Welsh, that is Andrew Erickson. We are live on the Fantasy Pros YouTube, and we've got an audience with us, and we're here looking to answer your questions. Thank you guys for hanging out with us. Thank you to everybody that's listening. There are trades to be had because season is rolling along. We've even got latest news, Erickson. I don't know if you saw this. Within about five minutes before we started up this stream, Jordan Mason has been placed on the IR, and he is going to be offered the next four weeks, and they picked up, not Jerome Ford who they worked out, but DJ Dallas. So Aaron Jones up, and Jordan Mason down. - Not great, out with us, Tom injury. Somebody actually asked me a question today if they should keep Jordan Mason or Woody Marks. Excuse me, Aaron Jones or Woody Marks, press of season. And because I knew that Mason had at least this thumb injury, this was before he was put on IR, I said, gotta keep Aaron Jones. Whenever you have these guys get injured, you always just want to kind of think about worst case scenario and hold on to their backfield teammates, wide receiver teammates, just in case we get news like this, where it seems like nothing. And then next thing you know, they have to sign somebody, and then the guys on the four week injury reserve. - Yep, fun stuff. Well, we're gonna do spuds up with you guys. We're gonna be answering your questions, a priority of course to trade based questions, but we'll have some other stuff that's gonna simmer in and seep in here. But also we've got super chat. So, you know, if you're listening on the podcast front, you can always come and hang out on the YouTube that you can drop a super chat. And when you do it, you get front of the line access, guaranteed, guaranteed that we are gonna be getting to your question. Hopefully those are gonna be a little bit more trade-centric, but even if they're not, we still got you covered. So, if you want your question answered in this, guaranteed, drop a super chat. Pitting where we're at, we may lock off the guarantees a little bit into the live stream. But otherwise, we are gonna be doing a hyper focus on trades with super chats, your guys, trade stuff, and everything in between. So, there's no better time to get into it. Erickson, you ready to roll? Ready to talk some trades? - That's right. - That's right. Let's see if the first one is and look at this. Would you know it? First one up here, on the supers is James PPR. Would you accept George Pickens for my DJ Moore in Lovelin? So, he would be getting Pickens and he'd have to give away the top tide end and DJ Moore. - Thank me to keep DJ Moore and Colson Lovelin. - Yep, that's a stinky no for me. No, thank you. Are you, the ranks on Lovelin are kinda odd this week. Are you in for a bounce back for him? Because like, it was all there. All the underlying stuff was there, just no targets. 'Cause they were running 300 plus yards or whatever. So, like I think we're in for a big Lovelin bounce back this week. So, I don't think you should be hesitant and probably the worst time to trade Colson Lovelin. That's a whole thing we could do in a show like this. We're gonna have too many questions. We're not gonna be able to. But like, you know, who are the guys that you put a hyper focus on buying after week one? Lovelin seems like one of the top buys that you would go with. And then who are really bad players or good players to trade away? Like, it's the worst time to trade Lovelin. Now, maybe Calpitz might be a little bit different. But what do you think about like Lovelin as an only a buy and not a sell right now? Only a buy. He was my ultimate buy low candidate on the trade show that I did with Worm on Tuesday. Go check it out on the fantasy pros podcast feed and on the YouTube channel. It's obvious because the usage was all there. Like you said, he ran the most routes among the bare skill players. He played all the snaps. Just wasn't getting the rock. He did have a couple opportunities where Caleb Williams missed him. So I don't anticipate that being the case here. Look, when you face the Carolina Panthers, you can just run the ball at will. This week it's going to be a lot different because it's the Minnesota Vikings and Brian Flores defense that loves the blitz. So I think Lovelin's going to be out there a lot as they do a lot of heavy personnel sets to kind of mitigate all the looks that Brian Flores is going to throw at Caleb Williams. And I think that means he's going to have to find a safety blanket. Let's check that option. And that is going to be Mr. Coles of Lovelin. It didn't also, wasn't he the number one route runner amongst all tight ends as well, isn't that? Doesn't that sound right? Okay. So I mean, he was out there, just the ball wasn't getting him too. So bad time to trade him. Even if Lovelin was a step down, I still don't think I'd really get into this trade. Like DJ Moore with the bills. Like last week was supposed to be the like, "Ooh, DJ Moore is going to be horrible." It's a horrible matchup. And it was like, "Nope, just absolutely locked it in." Ben, what's up, Ben? Non-PPR. I've got Coker and Johan Johnson. Should I trade Coker for King Cade or Laporta? This is covering for having pits. Currently sitting with QJ, Garrett Wilson, Tedaroa, Christian Watson, vacation super chat, yeah. All right, what do you think about moving Coker to get one of one of those tight ends? - I like going for King Cade. I like going for Laporta as well. I think that this helps solidify your tight end spot a little bit more. It's non-PPR. So I do think that tight ends are a little bit more flexible, flexible, worthy. So you could actually be in a situation where you're starting two tight ends because it is dependent on the touchdown equity. And I, maybe I'm crazy. Well, I think if I'm crazy, I think that King Cade and Laporta just in their respective offenses probably have more touchdown equity than someone like Jalen Coker does in the Carolina Panthers. 'Cause again, Jalen Coker may never score to touchdowns again this season because he's not facing the bears. - He may never score it in. - He'll never score for the rest of his life, maybe even. - So yeah, I think that this is a sharp move to make. - I think it's funny. It's funny you say that. I play in a couple really deeper leagues, a deeper dynasty and I play in a 16 team. And this week I actually was double tight ending it. I have Goddard and Laporta. And I had Goddard and I had actually put last minute, put him over, I don't know why I didn't have him in, but I have him over Keenan Allen and that ended up working out well for me. So sometimes in there, but yeah, back to the touchdown equity. There's a little small part of me with like the Ju Sun Coker, the big run. He's almost top 30 in fantasy pros ranks for this week. Like I think I would probably prioritize maybe Laporta a little bit more or maybe, and I kind of am alluding to like, could you get more? But I think it's a sharp, you know? Like if you just think, but I mean also, there's like a Joanne Johnson thing. He's got pits and Joanne Johnson. Like is there not a touchdown equity there? Like I don't know. This seems your depth is good. I'm fine with it. You seem to be uncomfortable. Laporta I think is a great get in here, but the more I stare at this, like, do you value having three tight ends with some type of touchdown equity or having like depth at wide receiver? Like you got four great ones, but guess what's better than four? Five. So I'm not really sure I'm dying to do this one personally. I guess for me, I have more confidence right now entering week two that either Kim Kato Laporta can actually be your weekly tight end for the rest of the season, where I don't feel that way about Kyle Pits. Yeah, that's a good question. And don't feel that way about Joanne Johnson because he did nothing until basically the end of the game and Jordan Tyson will come back at some point. And that negatively impacts Joanne Johnson whereas Laporta and Kim Kato seems like as long as Kim Kato stays healthy, he'll be tight in one and Laporta will probably be tight in one no matter what. Yeah, I love you guys out by the way. We got a ton of people in here, all out for the trade stream. Glad to have you guys. Should be on podcast as well. So keep them coming, keep them rocking. Superchats are still active, but we got a lot of people in here. They might be coming down here in a little bit. So just FYI, JSM, hey guys, panic meter. Oh, panic meter, one to 10. I was like, how are you one in 10 after week one? I mean, is it panic one to 10? Hampton, Waddle, Burden. Okay, so individually, Hampton, panic meter, one to 10. I give you like a four, two, Waddle. No, no targets. You know, that's not good. It's fine. The team was awful. They were horrible in that week one. I'm not going to panic yet. Waddle, one to 10. Seven. That's probably the yep. He's got to be the highest one on this list. Yep, and then Burden, I would say is like a five, four, five. I don't know what to say. Maybe it's less. He played more snaps than he did really all last year. So I would say that positive. I mean, he was the most productive receiver other than Kelly, Raymond. So I, Burden, I'm not concerned. I don't feel different about him, really. No, we did, we did the wide receiver ranks episode. I highly suggest you guys check it out 'cause we had to have a real conversation about not just Waddle, but Pat Bryant, 'cause you and I are both like, I'm in on Pat Bryant. To the point that I think Pat Bryant unseats something, and it seems more likely that it's sudden, but he is the slot wide receiver. He's getting targets out of the slot. He found separation like, I'm in, I'm in on Pat Bryant. I don't, it's more of a deeper league play. Maybe it's, I don't know if he can become flex worthy, but and where and how does that affect Waddle? This week we're both still concerned. So, yeah. But, but, but, League made also his two wide receivers and offered him Beigeon and Bowers, and he would give away J.S. and Parker Washington and likely, this is full PPR. So J.S. and and Beigeon cross-cancel is it enough to give up likely in Parker Washington for Bowers? - For Brock Bowers, who in a full PPR? - That's a big part of it. - Yeah, I think so, I think I'm, again, it's, it's risky 'cause Bowers is obviously hurt, but if he comes back in his healthy, you're getting, I mean, you wouldn't be able to make this trade two weeks ago for the hour's injury. So, I like kind of taking advantage of that. I like taking the swing. - Yeah, exactly. Oh, no, I don't know what that was. Let's see, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. 18, Jay Mac, who would you start? Godwin, Jaylin, Warren, Tate, or Wix on another, oh, that's another one. Okay, so Warren, Godwin, Tate, or Wix this week? (mimics music) take with I think I'd probably go with Chris Godwin playing the Cleveland Browns. We just saw them get eat up by Parker Washington out of the slot. But Bear Mayfield's gonna have a day against his old team with Cleveland Browns just a matter of pinpointing how they are going to score their touchdowns. I think Godwin's probably set up pretty well here. I mean, we know the Browns like Parker Washington out of the slot destroyed them. So you would think that's Godwin, but no wide receiver had more motion before the snap than Mechak Bukka. He had the most motion presets than any wider receiver. So if they're moving him around like that, like that might create some interesting situations. So I'm still going with Godwin there. QJ Pittman, Demario Douglas, drop for Hollins or JSA, QJ. For that one. Yeah, we're both QJ guys, even though it shouldn't be. JD, what's up guys? Back-to-back champ with your help. All Erickson's help. Full PPR running backs for Browns, Swift, JSM, Gainwell, wide receivers, JJ, Lad Parker, Evans, Wondale, thinking of offering Evans or Parker Washington for Javante Williams. So which one would you do if Evans? Evans. Evans. I would offer him. Yeah, I think I'm fine. Evans is going to eat this week. But yeah, I think like there's like a minimalist role that you could look at. Evans is a good one. I don't, here's a bigger question. Do you think it gets done? Because I don't think the Javante owner gives up Javante for either of those wide receivers. I mean, just really sell the Miami Dolphin secondary this week to the player that owns Javante Williams. I'm like, hey, I think again, this is one of these trades where it's like both guys can be good. It's just a matter of I'm trying to fix my need. You're trying to help them get better at wide receiver for their team. Mike Evans and Javante should both be really productive this week. By the way, shout out to the boys, Ben's and appreciate you guys. Easy to jump on here when I'm not working, avid listener. You guys are the goats. We appreciate you. And then this is a this is an Ericsson one. Let's go pros. Good vibes and energy vibes guy is my vibe bro here before we get to more questions. And we got a bunch of them. We're going to continue with the super chats. You guys want guaranteed answers. Drop a super chat. We got some other really great questions that are already in the queue. If I don't answer your trade question, blame it on Seth, who is our super producer. He makes the decisions, not me. So only blame can go to him. But before we blame anybody, let's go and talk about our friends over at Polymarket because football is back and it is time to level up your approach to the NFL and college football this season because Polymarket is here.

This is official. 12 team half ppr just got wicks on waivers. Good job, man. All right, we didn't even talk about that by the way. Most of my waivers were pretty barren, but one of my most important leaks, just want to point out, I got Caleb Black and we did it in the pentathlon league, which is Fitsy. There's some roto wire guys, Tim Schuller, Jeff Erickson is in there, DVR. It's an industry league that's out there. Erickson and we got Caleb Blacks. I'm very proud of ourselves and you know, why it's even more important because we have Christian McCaffrey and he was still on there. So we got it. So waivers ran through that's about the, I only want to point this out. It's about the only impactful thing I was able to do on any of my waivers. There wasn't a lot of valet. I don't know if you had any good luck in any of your leagues picking up. I know you picked up. What was the one we were talking about on the other show? You picked out because you're horrible titan. David and Joe, David and Joe, you had to pick him up. Did you have any other good, big waiver pickups? I have not checked my league where I have Zay flowers and AJ Brown of which waiver wire receiver, I'm going to be starting this week. I'm hoping it's Pat Bryant or Wix. I'm probably going to end up getting Matt Collins. It's probably going to be my consolation. I think it's a big shake out. Did you go after any payments? I mean, I did the laundry list of ladder receivers because I was, again, I lost two starters last week, assuming that Zay flowers doesn't play in week two. So, but there's a couple interesting guys, interesting names out there. So it's kind of like choose your flavor and it'll be interesting to see who bombs and who comes through when we're talking about week three. Well, we got this question. Just got Wix on waivers. Would you flex Wix for Brooks, Boston? I guess that's Malachi Fields or Emmet Johnson, 10 team standard league, Stafford with Puka Stack, that's the second question. So would you put in Wix over Boston Fields, Emmet Johnson, or Brooks in a standard format? Yeah. Oh wait, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm screwing up. It's how you wrote the question. This is the half PPR 12 team half PPR Wix over any of those guys, standards that start him over all those guys. None of them are like Brooks is kind of interesting, but I mean, he only played like 20% in the snap. So he still kind of want to see a little bit more before he throw him back out there. I mean, dude, Browns, like I know, I know, but I know, but I think it's going to be up. I know for a quarter, but I mean, Wix could just I would rather play Wix, I think. I'm cool. I mean, again, Erickson finished way higher in the ranks with me. I would just point out like I think Boston's upside is really intriguing. I would have been very aggressive with him on waivers. I kind of like him. I mean, Wix is a two or three catch guy as well. I would personally go Boston, but Wix is fine. They're in the same tier together. So the other question was 10 team standard. Would you go with a Stafford with Pukestack or T law versus Denver? So it's a quarterback play. Trevor Lawrence. Easy. He diced up Denver last year and he's going to do it again. Yeah, same season. I'm saying with you. By the way, Seth noting, same Donald is officially ruled out of week two. They said there are no plans to put them on the IR, but he's officially out. So that is going to lock us into Drew lock. So no pun intended. Drew lock is in. I'm on a rocket shit. All right. James Garrett Wilson for my Watson PPR. Should I accept? Thanks. Yeah. Take a ride at Garrett Wilson. Think. And full again, it has been full PPR. I think that Wilson just projects so well in terms of, didn't we just talk about this with fit? We're talking about with Geno. The next three matchups all end of senior defense is Garrett Wilson is going to go nuclear over the next three weeks. And there's always a chance that Watson just isn't like, you didn't even leave the team in targets last week. Wilson is going to leave the team in targets every single week. Set your clock on set or set your alarm on or whatever the phrase is. What helped me out Welsh? Yeah, I just said your alarm. I don't know. Like, do you have a clock? Set your alarm clock on it. Set your clocks back an hour. You don't know about time. You don't know about the daily savings. No, I know more than anybody does, but I don't know how you guys treat it. I live in Arizona where they don't have it. Well, there's two places at Hawaii, but here in the land without a water mass between us. We are the only state that does not do time change. So when time change happens, you guys change your clocks. I change time zones. But because I work in this industry, it's like changing back the clock, because I have to go by everybody's eastern time. So, but it's a mess. The poor white board is just going to, it's going to feel the. The white board. This is the schedule. The white board is going to get a white board. White board is going to get blown to smithereens when the hour changes. Oh, it's going to be a disaster. Everybody know, I have to, like, I have my normal schedule and then I was like, I'm whiteboarding it. So that's like my recording schedule for, it's all just a, it's like gibberish. It looks like a coach. It looks like a big board. Like, I'm writing up a play. It's crazy. A time change is like a, does I need a much bigger white board for my, and that's just like one that I had picked up. All right. Back to it. Let's get to the supers. By the way, supers are still active. I think we're doing pretty good. I'm not going to halt off any supers so you guys can keep dropping them. We'll let you know when your guarantees are becoming dicey, but keep dropping those supers if you want. I'm going to keep rolling with those a little bit. I'll get to a few other questions that we've got cute up and we'll get back to the supers. But James said, my Hampton for burden or cocker and Harvey or price. No, okay. So he gets, essentially, this is like burden and price for Hampton. No, no, it's all these. I want Hampton. Yeah, unless you were desperate for depth or something like that. I like price, but yeah, I don't think I would do that either. So, all right. Henry got offered DJ Moore for Watson. Yeah, your name. DJ Moore. I would stick with Watson, but this one is closer. Trying to think who I have hired my rest of season ranking because I feel like it's going to be close to you guys. I'm going to guess. Yeah, I got Watson hire. Yeah. Okay. No, all right. Good, good. Uh, tack sports. I traded CMC and Kelsey to get leveling and chase brown. Did I get cooked? I mean, I'm not a CMC guy. So I don't think you did. I chase brown. I had a CMC and I obviously had a leveling ahead of Kelsey. So I don't think you got cooked, especially if CMC is a part time running back rest of season. - Oh my God. - Well, just kidding. - If CMC is healthy. - 25 touches this week. And then another 25. Are you gonna like. - He's playing the dolphins, dude. - Okay, the thing is, again, it's weird, but it's actually probably better if he doesn't touch the ball 30 times a game because that way he's not gonna break in half. And he'll actually be available for the 49ers all year long, available for fantasy managers all year long. And he can be more efficient and not wear down as a season progresses. - You just got another out for your 400 touch thing. - That's what kills me, yeah. - You're just, you have already said, you are just like the product of the numbers. You won't relent on it. And you just got one more out. You never did you place like Kailan Black could take anything away from him. - Of course I wasn't gonna be like that. - I was gonna be like, well guys, he's actually gonna fail because this Kailan Black guy is taking over the back for me. - I just like, I, of course I want. I'm a 49er fan. You got a CMC helmet back here when I want him to succeed. But I want him to succeed just in spite of you. I think it's just fine though. Like if you, you got Chase Brown, if Chase Brown's got a horrific match of this week, but Chase Brown's great. Lovelin's a great bye-bye here. If you would just surface level look at it as like, would you trade CMC to get Chase Brown and Lovelin? Like yeah, that's a great trade. So what the hell does Kailan see matter in this trade? So all right, very good one. You guys have some great time. I love that you guys are really rocking with a lot of trade questions. You guys are doing good. Paul, and then we're going to kill the trade question. How do you boys? Someone dropped Josh Jacobs. Should I pick him up? I've got Tutan Jonathan Brooks, Jalen Warner and B. John Robinson, full PPR 12 man, the latest news that came done yesterday is the female involved did not, are wanted to keep the video sealed. That's the, the news on that. So, you know, if we're trying to sparse through that, we all kind of know like the video is usually, the gonna be one of those damning situations that can happen. And this is another step towards that not happening. So it's tricky. I'm giving you the context here because I think that's why people are asking Josh Jacobs questions because people feel because of that, that is more the likelihood that he will just serve his six games, you know, instead of on top of something that would be a lot greater. So with all of that context here, do you have interest in getting into the waters here? I think this is tough because those are all startable guys. Like I'm not, I'm not jumping to go pick up Jacobs and all the chaos when you have to give up Warren and Brooks. So I'd probably say no, but what's are you? - Assuming those are the only guys that he can drop, I would also say no, but if Jacobs is out there on WaverWire, I think that he is worth just stashing. Again, as more things kind of happen in this case, the more likely it is that we'll get to like, the resolution that we're talking about where it's like, okay, like now we know six games, eight games, done for his career, whatever, at least we'll come to a, okay, this is what the Jacobs season is going to look like in 2026, and then if he's on your bench, you can cut him or figure out what you have to do after that. So these running backs though, I would not take Jacobs over them. - I would not either. - All right, that was the same one. Scott, I don't know what you had, but either you just love us. So thanks, otherwise, maybe Seth can find it if there's a question that just didn't get out there. My Hampton for Niko, PPR, I think it's fine if you need my receiver, you're good at running. - Yeah, it depends on the Niko. I thought Niko would be pretty good against the Buffalo Bills. He's such an alpha dude. - Stroud also, Stroud, one of those guys, you look at some of the underlying stuff, like he looked pretty great, getting the ball deep, but just a completion percentage, like, things are trending in a really good direction, so I'm down with that. I was down. Gives A and Chase Brown to get Lad and James Cook. Give my injury receiver for their injury receiver. For, so no. Man, actually, this one's tough. It's like, I definitely like Zaymore and Lad, but they're both hurt, so I guess, I mean, I'd rather have Zay. Chase Brown and James Cook, rather have James Cook, but I think that's closer than the Lad and Zay conversation, is, so I would keep Zayflat. Zayflat is also the guy like the most. I mean, he was like my flag plank guy and to see him just basically go nuclear and then get her, it was mean. - Yeah, I do too. There's a little bit of like, I'm kind of feeling like, ooh, because I was like, Lad just not gonna get back to top 12 unless he gets, you know, 29% target share and this and anything, and then it was like, it went up to 24 in the last game in Quentin Johnson, just got shut out, so I feel like a little bit dicey that maybe I'm wrong in that he's gonna pop up, but I'm still not doing that trade either. I'm gonna stick with this A side. Zay, Alams, loaded at running back. Apparently, everyone's got Hampton. Hampton, Henry, Chuba, Brookes, Woody, Killam, Black, White receivers are Tedaroa, Jamo, I guess that's Parker Washington. What White receivers should I package? Quorum with to upgrade at White receiver. All of the White receivers? I mean, I would say, Tedaroa probably has the most value and then Parker? - Yeah, I think could you trade by Quorum for Drake London? - Straight up. - Okay, I would go for Drake London then. He's a screening by-low, 'cause his Coreback play is dollar water right now, but once Michael Penix Jr. comes back, which probably still won't be this week, dude, I mean, he has a amazing ceiling with Penix. - Would you do it though if you had to give up Tedaroa and Quorum? - Take it Drake London? - Yeah. - Or Parker Washington and Quorum. 'Cause what I'm getting at is like, do you only willing to do that if it's Jamo and Quorum? - Yeah, probably. - Only Jamo, not the other guys? - Mm-hmm. - McMillan is interesting, 'cause I think that I get a word, I'd rather have Drake London than Team Ack rest of season, and then Quorum obviously is a really good piece. But I think, yeah, I'd start with Jamo, especially after Thursday night, I think he could have a pretty big game. God, maybe that'll work. - I'm Britt Coleman, and I'm Trevor Sikima.

We're gonna cut off those Super Chats, at least guarantee. Doesn't that mean we're not necessarily gonna not get to them, but just cutting that off to make sure that we can guarantee we have all of the Super Chats. So I think it's a whoop fried rice is the last one that is on the guaranteed. So just FYI, it's a risk if you drop any Super Chats here. And as we move forward to the next questions, one, or mind you guys, since we're talking trades about the trade analyzer, never wonder if you're winning a trade again. The fantasy pros, trade analyzer instantly evaluates any deal based on your roster, scoring settings, and league, showing both the short and long term impact. It even supports dynasty trades involving players and picks. Analyzer next deal at fantasyprose.com/analyzer. That's fantasyprose.com/analyzer. So go and check that out. If we're not here, you want a little bit more depth. You want more confirmation. Maybe you're like, tweeting this person, you come in here and ask us, also go to the analyzer, and you can have lots of different resources to tell you where you're at on your next trades. All right, duh, duh, duh, duh. Smudge got offered Kyron Williams for Tutan in Dynasty. What's I do you want? I will take, tune. Mm. I am cool with Tutan, but I will say if you're like a win now team, I prefer Kyron Williams and he still has a couple more years, too, so I don't think it's a gimmie, but I'm fine with Tutan on that one. You know what? I'm actually. I'm going to change my answer. Absolutely. I'm actually. Oh. I just checked my down. I see rankings because I wanted to. Because I. Again. I wasn't sure. Obviously, we saw a week one play, but I mean, I know Koran looks good, but Kyron still dominated the snaps, dominates the red zone usage, so I think for me, it's still Kyron. The thing with Tutan that I want to be aware of for Dynastie purposes is he still was a day three pick, and typically these types of running backs can get replaced, which is a concern whereas with Kyron, he already has a contract with the Rams, and even though play Koran is good, too, I don't think Kyron just has a lot more outs, I would say, just given his career path already, and in fact, he's already signed a new second contract. It's just tough for Tutan. And like I said, from a win-now perspective, I don't love doing that. I will say that Koran had a lot of good things. There's a lot of praise going around on Tutan right now. It does seem like they still want him to work on a few things, but it just doesn't seem like he's going away any time soon, so you're better younger by the long term I suppose. I think the career path for Tutan, as you hope he can turn into a Kyron, or you could just take Kyron. You know what I mean? That's the family guy. It's like the boat, but anything could be in the box, even a boat. One wider sewer, one flex, Nico Watson, HN, McClaren, Godwin, Fick-2, you gotta be free. I love how you have to read ETN as HN. I just have to lie and it's, there's just some stuff this year. And it's like seeing ETN and having to say HN is just his name or for me. I mean, he's complicating things, especially because his brother did not change the pronunciation of his name. So. Trevor ETN is still Trevor ETN. He wants to be ETN? No, because he, because apparently that's what, that's how his last name is pronounced. So I don't know. All right. Get to the question. Nico's in and what Christian Watson is in and. It's only two. Yeah. That's it. First two. Just for name, because of name only, HN doesn't get in there. That's ridiculous. But no, not gradients. Not the greatest matchup. Yeah, yeah, exactly. My tutin' Valey Wicks for Hampton and Mick Millen. Yes. That's a Tetoroah, yeah. Yes. That's the dumbest trade I've ever seen. I mean, dude, just give me Jail and McMillan and I would still do this. I know. I was like, if this Jail McMillan, like, it's a little like more. But if that's Tetoro McMillan, that is the dumbest trade and everybody should be hitting up James to play in his league if, if other people are doing trades like that. And if that's for you, don't. You know what to do. We are Givda and Tavian Wicks and get McCla- yes. Let's go. And get McClaurren. Get McClaurren. Maybe Terry McClaurren should have been my Bilo. He always strives against the Eagles and then he gets Dallas this week. He's a easy buy. He's a better Bilo. That's why I can't it. McClaurren or Jail and Waddle? McClaurren. Because the thing with Waddle is, we still haven't seen it, right? I've seen Terry McClaurren be good with J-Dales. Like, that's not a projection. We have one game of Davis Webb, Bonix, and Jail and Waddle together and it was poop. We don't buy poop. Technical term. Yeah. We don't. We don't buy poop. You're right. But you can. Actually, if you've never seen it, like, the elephant. It's crazy. I'm not going to give you any people ideas. Space man. My Bowers and Emma Johnson for neighbors and strength. Okay. So it's essentially Bowers for neighbors. 14 manful PBR. He's got Higgins, both Wilson's, Concepcion, and then tied in his Bowers and Mayors. So he would have Mayors is starting tied in. And then he would upgrade to have neighbors, Higgins, Garrett Wilson. Um. Yes. Who is your tight end in the situation, then? I guess in a 14 or 13, I mean, do you think Mayors is going to be reliable when Bowers comes back? I'm not doing it. I think in this particular roster build, it doesn't make a ton of sense. I think neighbors for Bowers is like a good trade because you get the elite talent. You just get the guy that you think is healthier, which I think, and at least after one week, we know who is healthier and it's neighbors and not Bowers. It's good point. I do like that aspect, but the fact that you don't really have another alternative for tight end. It's actually a roster construction. So 14 man, I'm okay. If you have piecemeal tight end, obviously, like you, you're moving off the elite. But I'd be considered again, space man. If you can tell us too, if like you have alternatives, like what are you going to do tight end next, we'll be my next follow up question because right now, if it's just, I'm going to roll with Michael Mayer, I don't think that's a strategy. I would advise to do or bring strange, but that's not and it's not a good option either. I can see it's strange too. So it might be the depth piece now. It's like I just don't love it from the team perspective, but like neighbors, I guess if I had to personally pick long term dynasty, I would want neighbors over Bowers, but I just think it really screws up your team. So good morning, evening afternoon, yeah, it's like 12, 30 my time. So like late afternoon for, for Erickson here, good morning, good morning afternoon. Would you trade AJ Brown and Sake one to get to Higgins, Tutan and Dobbs? Scat as my other running back in Malikas, my other wide receiver, half PPR. Like getting Higgins, Tutan is a player I did talk about as a buy. Sake one kind of, kind of me in his first game and get some manners, Ecos offensive line is kind of, so no for me, dog, but you're going to pull the trigger? I don't love it either, but yeah, if I don't love it. I usually don't do it, so there you go, trade away, Puka for an early 2021 first and second and struggling. Yes. No, I'm not going to trade away a table, yeah, cares, it's a top two or three overall player in fantasy. And you're like, oh, cool. I could get a pick that could like, maybe be 75. Oh, wait, it's only a second and it's only a first, okay, it's only a one first, okay, yeah, then no, sorry, I thought you would do it for two. I think that's, at least, you got to get at least two. I mean, you have to get first and then, if I'm not getting yours, Maya Smith, I'm not doing it. Well, that's what I mean. But you'd be, if theoretically with an early 21st, you're getting Jeremiah Smith. It's going to be number one pick though. You have to have the number one pick. Well, that's what I'm getting to first, so no, I'm not doing, you're not going to trade one of the best fantasy, but I know he loves to, like, bite people and run into glass windows and stuff, but like, I'm still going to hold on him. Uh, Gazi, looking to give Gentie and a wide receiver for CMC, what's a range of wide receiver? You might give him barracks and thought going to do this wide receiver would be not a wide receiver. It would be, who should I trade CMC to get Gentie and a wide receiver? I don't think, I'm going to be honest with you, like, I would trade my Gentie to get CMC, but if I have to give, like, a quality wide receiver up to, I don't think I'm really interested in it. Like, Gentie's going to get a ton of usage. It's not a great team, but he's still going to roll. If I had to give up Don TV and Wix, how about it? But if I had to give up, like, uh, Parker Washington, I'm not even sure how we do with Jalen Kocher. I think that's too much. I think I have to be like a Jalen Kocher to get the deal done. Someone that popped off for a big game. This is a good one. Either loan just loves us and is just giving us, but I feel like this is an actual loan. I feel like there's a question attached to it that maybe Seth could find, uh, if it's out there because I did. I can't imagine this is just love when your name is loan money, so, uh, but I'm hoping it is. This is how I catch you. Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're like, yeah, yeah, we gave you that $5, but I got seven questions for you now. Uh, here's Ben. Ten-manful PPR was offered Ken Walker and Nicole Collins, but have to give up. Nope. Jamira Gibbs. Yeah. Can't give up Gibbs. Sorry. But dude. You get a top 10. Just not just sick. You go top 10. You were in a top like five or six, but it's scoring every single week. Can't give him up. Sorry. You can't give up the guys that have the special seasons. The reason you can have a special, here's the reason you don't do it is a 10 man league. And in 10 man leagues, your attention should be hyper focus on the best players and the best player in this is Gibbs. The problem is it's a really good offer because it's two really good players that are going to start every single week. It's not like the guys like, hey, I'll give you Ken Walker. And then I'll give you, I mean, even Mike Evans or something like that. It's like, no, it's like a top 10 wide actually, like, I know. See now, when I'm looking at his roster, because I'm like, dude, he's got London. I mean, his roster is like exactly like why this trade makes sense because he has a London flowers, AJ Brown and DJ injured, injured, terrible quarterback. So like, I think, man, you say it, okay, you say it. And at least you're good. So even though Gibbs is going to have the number one season, Ken Walker is also going to have a special season. And we need to talk about Nico earlier. So yeah, man, given the roster you have, the injuries that you already have, London's quarterback situation, I do think that you actually do need to pull the trigger here. So all right, please don't watch Thursday night football. Yeah. I know. Please do not do it. All right. One more. Let's do some giveaway stuff. I want to talk to you guys about potential giveaways. How would you like a fantasy football championship belt? You could bring your league this belt for the winner. You could take it for yourself and just, you know, put it over everybody. You've got a chance to win the ultimate symbol of fantasy glory with the fantasy football championship belt courtesy of our friends trophy smack with the number one destination of epic fantasy football hardware. This massive goal played a belt is built to make a statement. It's both it's heavy and it's guaranteed to turn heads in your league. Don't just win a championship. Wear it. Here is what you do. It's like an inner subscribe to the fantasy pros YouTube channel. Do it right now. Make a comment. That's it. Boom. End of story. We'll be announcing a winner here on the channel to make sure you're subscribed. So you don't miss winning and any of, you know, the great videos that we've got. So when that championship belt, be the hero to your league, by the way, is there any bigger hero than being like, Hey, guys, by the way, yeah, we're going to play for that cool pot. But did I also tell you we're going to play for a championship belt? Oh, did it. Like that would be, that'd be amazing. None of my friends do that for any of my leagues. Though I am playing for a championship belt this year and so is Erickson because we are the only two, well, no, warm is with us. Warm myself and Erickson are the only ones in the tags league here on fantasy pros, which is the championship league of the entire company. And we are vying for and I squeaked out of win, lowest scoring winner this past week. So I am one and no. Did you win? Yeah, I can walk her. So of course I want of course you won single handedly so we can take home one of those. All right. Lightning round. We got to get into lightning round here because we've got some supers. Are you ready? Yeah. Do it. Okay. Got to rev me up here. By the way, I live in Arizona. It's raining outside right now. I can hear it. Can you hear that? It's like thunder and rain. That's a sign. Sign from the gods that we need to play. So let's go. Taco, 12 team tight and premium, two early to panic on Devante. Would you target, who would you target as a by the option, maybe Smith or what Smith or Loveland? That is Smith. Trading Devante Smith for Loveland. I think that's fine trade to do. I'm not brave. Yeah. On Smith. No, I'm not really worried either. I already mentioned we love buying on Loveland. I was sent a trade offer for my Monty, Mike Evans and Goddard. He would get a Chan Parker and Gaseki. Uh, yes. So you're about to get a Chan Washington. You want a Chan Parker and Gaseki. Monty upgrades to a Chan Evans and Parker or a wash and then you, you're giving away Goddard for Gaseki. I think you're losing a try then to get better at running back. I love it. Yeah. I like that. I don't care about Gaseki. for Washington over Evans. There you go. Even better offered lamb and offered lamb in Washington for H&N and lad. What do you think? I would. What's darker Washington? I would know for me. Because I'd rather have a lamb than H&N and I'd rather have darker Washington right now than lad. So. Okay. Perfect. And the guy seems to go cowboys by the way. So go to the lamb. He's trying to get real. Yeah. There's no point out like he's. I mean, dude, this is class of cow like cowboys dance. I know. We love you guys. 12 team PPR this from Andrew. 12 team PPR. Colonel Tate was dropped. Pick him up for Quentin, Quentin Johnston. No, just because of the lad injury. So I think I got to keep QJ. Yeah. And Titans are wretched. Duncan McBrideic Buka for London, Remondory and Johnston. Nope. Yeah. No. Absolutely. Keep. McBrideic Buka. McBruca. McBruca. Whatever. McBruca. That's you want the McBruca. It sounds like a coffee, a new coffee. It sounds like something McDonald's is going to like put together. Introducing the McBruca. McBruca at McDonald's. They moves around a lot and it covers a lot of territory and it sometimes scores touchdowns. Henry, start this week rest of season. Well, those are two different things. Laporta, Kincaid, who to trade for. So it's just which one do you want? Oh, yeah. So I would definitely try to trade one of these guys because this is going to be a question you're going to be asking literally every single week. Um, I think I would start Kincaid this week. And I just think that his path to targets is cleaner than Laporta. I think there's this less mouse defeat in the Bill's offense. And I think that this Kincaid thing is real, right? It's amazing. What happens when you get a full-time role in functional PCLs. Yeah. You get dealt with in week one. PCLs are good. 12-man PPR. I've got Gough Brown, Wilson, Williams, Chase, and Monty. Should I trade Monty for a higher running back? And then should I start, you start Chase Brown? Start, still start Chase Brown. Yep. For sure. But should you, yeah, you should, if you can upgrade it, I just like you're going to take a running back and get a better running back. Like what else are you going to have to give up? So I don't, I don't know if I would be comfortable. Like maybe see Jamison Williams because you've got Wilson and Brown. That's probably what I would do. So could you trade? This is a trade I posted. I think I asked a couple people, did Montgomery for Jeremiah Love? I don't think you can do it, but I'd be into it. Really, even after the three touchdowns? No, you can't get love, man. No, I don't think so. Remember Lightning Run here, but this is horrifically bad news. Just breaking Kyle Shanahan is saying that the John Stribbling is going to be out for 10 weeks, close to 10 weeks. Okay, not the four. It's not the four. We got our man's Debo Samuel, Marcus Robinson, little tiny bit, but Debo on the up, my friends. Let's see, once Pat always Pat, only questionable member of my team is quarterback Herbert. Should I drop him for pretty who's on waivers? Yes. Oh, yeah. If he's on waivers, that means you guys have like great options. You don't need to wait around for Herbert to show that he can do it when he's out there. He's playing the Dolphins. Just, you don't have to overthink it. Herbert, Justin Herbert. Although hot guys, hello, uh, 10 team PPR, my Ken Walker and Lad to get Justin Jefferson and Bucky. It's pretty lateral to me. But you get the majority of Ken Walker, man, but you get Justin Jefferson, though. I'm sure we're doing that. I agree. Like, I don't want to. Can you imagine being someone like Bogman who didn't want Ken Walker this year? Can you imagine living that life? But can you Justin Jefferson? But you get Justin Jefferson? So I'm cool with that. Yeah. Bucky, reacts. I just don't want to trade Ken Walker. It is a good return now. Yeah, it's pretty good. Trade Chase for Barkley, Waddle and Parker Washington, assuming this is Jamar Chase. No, a lot of depth. I think yeah, and a nutshell, I don't want to do that. I don't want to trade Jamar Chase after he puts up a stinker and week one because he does this every single year. And then and then not even get to get a chance to get any of his points. Also, he has like a, what if he has like a bomb other receiver and then like good running, like one good running back in a bad third wide receiver. And he just upgraded from, you know, tune to Barkley. And then his third wide receiver just upgraded to like, I'm keeping chase. I'm keeping chase. This is a not to say that those guys are bad. It's not like a ponies for a horse deal. But the three for one trades usually, I just want the best player in the best players chase ponies for a horse deal. I like it. Andrew, 10 team PPR. I've got JSN Nico with Higgins, Parker Washington and Christian Watson too. My running back one is Chase Brown. Running back two is Tutan with Menon guy and Mason. Should I pursue some trades and if so, for who? Well, you just lost more running back. So you should definitely get a running back. If you have JSN Collins, Higgins, Washington and Watson, I would be trying to trade Higgins. That's a person or Watson, if somebody is really buying plan Watson, I would look at Watson and Higgins and I would upgrade my running back. Yeah, I think that you're just going to get a lot for Watson and Washington right now because they're really busy players. They're a breakout players that hit in week one. So you can just get a really strong return for them. And I think you can probably get a pretty strong running back for them and you have a surplus that receivers to work with. So I would be comfortable just getting, don't just don't look at it as like, oh, who should I get rid of, be like, think about it as, who can I get the most back for? I think it's a good way to put it. Yeah, exactly. That's a good way to put it. Venge's trade CD and Monty and Rashad White to get B-John and and Monara St. Brown. Or no, that's AJ Brown. AJ Brown. No, this one's interesting. You get B-John and then you get a weight on AJ Brown. If you've got depth, then yeah, I would do this to get B-John Robbins and then Pat Bryant. You're covered. So you can do that. But yeah, I would do that jokingly. I say Pat Bryant. I didn't get the laugh out of Erickson at all. I didn't know. Sorry. I'm sorry. Whenever I see AJ Brown in a question, I just shed a tear. What's up, guys? What's up? I've got AJ Brown and Zay Flowers in a 12-man PPR. Sorry for your loss. Should I trade one or just hang on? You got to hang on. Keep on hanging on. You can't trade those guys. AJ Brown is a horrible trade right now. Yeah, I've like, I don't even know exactly what the AJ Brown trade market is because it's all over the place. You needed to hit waivers and get valet and like Pat Bryant and then just try to get those guys in. I think the trade market stinks. If the trade market's better, come bring it to us. I just know what it looks like. Yeah, you're going to trade AJ Brown though and do it now. Don't wait two weeks and then make a move. Either rip the bandaid. I'll be like get rid of this guy or nope, we're seeing it through. I'm going to wait till he comes back. Seeing it out. I'll make it. We're an overtime here. Last four so we can get these in. Stribbling IR look into stash and other wide receiver. Either the Miami wide receivers. Lemon or Addison. Adnight. Not rookie, but just hit waivers. I like Caleb Douglas. That's who I'm. I was going after. So that would be my answer. Yeah, I mean, almost 100 yards in his rookie debut. I think that he has the most instant immediate impact right now. So lemon seems like a work in progress. So I would go with a Douglas. Yeah. Dude, there is like a torrential storm. It's like 95 degrees. That's like where hurricanes happen. It's like 95 degrees out. And I'm just in the desert. It's deserts. I want to open this window bad and show everybody. Paul says I've got Jalen Waddle, Nico Collins, Brian Thomas, junior Mark Wilson and Kenan Allen. Who should I panic on? Who do you think I can get? So Waddle is definitely someone we're concerned about. Nico is fine. Brian Tom's junior. We is expected to struggle just based on his role in this offense. He's also heard again. Who's Mark Wilson? I can't. I can't decide for these. Oh, Mark, I don't know. Is it Michael Wilson? Is this your is this your player in Madden? Is this your in Harrison? Oh yeah, let's talk about Waddle. So he wants to upgrade a wide receiver essentially. Yeah. So I guess I mean, Nico is the only when you're not going to get anything for these guys, like that's the issue, like you have wall. I mean, I didn't count any of those guys right. Yeah. I don't think it's time. Who would you rather have rest of season? Waddle. So or AJ Brown. Do you hope it turns around for a bottle or do you just wait it out again, both are like you get you got it? Because like the Waddle thing's not guaranteed to hit, right? It's like you could get better, but it could also still be kind of bad. Like in it, if if I were given the even time, I would say, um, AJ Brown, but like I got to wait three more weeks with Waddle. Like I, I prefer AJ Brown when he's back. I think we need to see more from Waddle before we make big pan, we can talk about the panic. But if I'm going to go make a significant move off of Waddle, it would have to be like one for one value, because I think it might be premature. So I'm not sure I'm panning on any of those guys. Uh, what do I do with HN have Ken Walker, Travian and HN will, okay, you have one running back. Um, so I would hold on, I would hold on right now. I also horrible time to trade both of Henderson or H I would want to see what the usage looks like. He was used primarily on third downs and goal line stuff. Uh, it was a bad match. I, I want to see how his usage is this week before I react to him. Travian is not someone that that's the reason why you can trade another running back. Like Ramondra has that role right now. Travian's got to come back. You feel any different? No, I mean, H and I want to trade away. I thought that he was a way more of a committee than I thought, especially with Kendrick Miller, not even Alan Camara was kind of eating into his workload. He was my cell on the trade show with worm. So he would be the player that I would be trying to package. I think the biggest thing when it comes to players and you're selling them is package. You can't make them the focal point of the deal because then it's really obvious to the other managers what exactly you're doing. What you have to do is find a manager that really needs running back. Like that's kind of your best path to get a player like HN off of your roster for a decent value, even if his stock is down. Package. Make sure it's a good package. Vinnie, last one, trade away. My HN for James Cook. If available to do so, do so. PPR also, is it fair for both sides? I mean, Cook seemed like he went consistently ahead of HN and fantasy drafts. So I'm not exactly sure why someone would think. I mean, again, the subject to what you believe. I mean, HN had a better workload than Cook did a week one. Cook also had a brutal matchup against the Texans defense. He was really one of the only guys that didn't really pop off, but he gets the lines this week. So if you can do this, get Cook. Well, my apologies. I thought we were going to get to more. We could get out beyond the super chats, but we can't. I did overtime here. I did overtime for you guys because we love you. We got every single super chat in here. Again, that's always the best way. If you want to guarantee a question answer, we got a lot of you hanging in here and really appreciate everybody that was in, but it's not over. You can go over to twitch twitch.tv/fantasy pros. I don't know if it's this second or if it's in like eight minutes, you guys could tell me, but Matt Modai is going to be on there and more fantasy questions.
