This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. - Hey, I'm Mike Am. - And I'm Trevor Sikima. And together, we host the NFL Fantasy Football Show. - Are you ready to dominate your fantasy league this season? - Because if you aren't locked in with us on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, you're already playing from behind. - Whether you're a first-time player or a grizzled vet chasing another championship, would you be the advantage and the confidence you need to make every move count? - Listen to the NFL Fantasy Football Show on the I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. - Hello, everybody. Welcome to Fantasy Pros. I am Ryan Warimley joined by D-Bro. Derek Brown, we are gonna be here every Thursday. I believe at the same time, all season long, answering some start, sit, questions, live. D-Bro, I'm excited. We're here. We have real football to talk about. - It is, man, as ugly as that game and as much as it went off the rails last night, it was interesting, and we got real ball. We are officially back, man. - It's no longer like right there on the horizon. It's here, it's back. We're here, we're reminded of the downside of fantasy and it's you the upside, yeah. The injuries, the under-performances, the interceptions, all that fun stuff. How many leagues do you have, Bowers and AJ Brown in, or at least one or the other? - I did not have Bowers in any of my leagues because I was firmly on coast and leveling at cost. So I did not step on the Bowers' rake, which nobody could have seen this coming. And this is just, again, the run out. And the same thing with AJ Brown. Like I got him in, I think one league, but past that, I mean, a lot of these are industry leagues and other leagues like content leagues and leagues of fellow colleagues of FPE. I've talked too much about AJ Brown's. I didn't get him to fall to me in a lot of draft. So that game last night wasn't hurting me from a lot of different perspectives, but I understand like, I mean, if anybody drafted AJ Brown, like this is the sort of thing that, this is what happens with grown men playing football, man. People get hurt and I, I mean, it's easy to say, oh, AJ Brown has been injury prone and what, dude, anybody would have gotten hurt with the way that they did it. - Yeah, that's not it. - It's not an AJ Brown. - I had almost no Drake May or AJ Brown through most draft season. In the last like three drafts, I think I got both them twice 'cause I was like, oh, I don't have any of them. I don't want to miss out and you know, that's the way. I'm not worried about Drake May long term. At least not much. - No, it's fine. - Yeah, well, let's go ahead and dive in here. We got a ton of questions coming in already. We're gonna get through as many as we possibly can. Just a reminder for everybody when you're looking at your lineup decisions, all of our weekly rankings for 2026 can be found at fantasyprose.com/rankings. And to get a guaranteed response, please send in super chats. We will do our best to get to as many questions as possible throughout the stream, super chats or otherwise, but super chats in the first 20 minutes of the show are the only way to 100% guarantee an answer. Again, Debra and I are gonna do our absolute best to get through every single question if possible, or at least as much as we possibly can. But super chats that come in early is the way to truly guarantee 100% that you will get an answer. We'll also prioritize them in the order of how we answer stuff. So let's start with the first super chat question that we had come in here. This one from Vinnie, would you go kittle if not Ferguson or Mayor in PPR? Also if someone is offering Gibbs, would you trade away Hint and Hall if needed? So a lot going on here. Let's answer the tight and question first. Would you go kittle or Ferguson or Mayor in PPR? Mayor then Ferguson and Kittle in that order. I'm sitting Kittle in so many different spots where I have him. I just, I don't know what to think about his playing time. I think he's probably gonna be obviously a part-time player, maybe like a 50 or 60% snap rate. Now a lot of that is probably catered towards passing downs, but still it's a horrible matchup. What do we see out of Kittle and week one? I don't want to mess with any of that. With Bowers being out, Mayor is going to be a focal point of the passing attack. The dolphins are not a good defense. Ferguson at best is the number three in that offense as far as targets go. So I'll go, Mike, Mayor. Where is Mayor ranked actually for you this week? I bumped him up. I think he's close to Titan one-ville. I don't know that my senses has caught up yet, but I'm just curious where you're going to have him. I'm at Titan 13 right now. So like, like a fringe starter, but to this point, I have him above Dalton, Kinkay, Jake Ferguson, Brenton Strange, and George Kittle. Ferguson is still higher in consensus, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes. It'll change by the time we get to the weekend and people update ranks by something. And then what about this trade? If you could get Givesy Trader, A-chan and Hall, I kind of think I would. This depends on the size of the league, Vinnie. And if you could throw this in the chat, like if this is a eight or 10 teamer and we've got more depth and more of the onesy and more of like all stars versus everybody's all stars, then I'm more likely to do this trade. If this is a 12 teamer, I'm probably not. But it depends on the roster, man. I think if it's like 14 or 16 team leader, that's where I would weigh more towards the depth. I think 12, I think Gives might just end up being one of the correct answers this season where it doesn't really matter. And A-chan on a bad offense, probably, Hall on a bad offense, probably. I think I would do this. If it's 14, 16 team league, something like that, it's a good call by you, I probably wouldn't, but 12 teamer lower, I think I would. - Yeah, I think it depends on the team context and things of the nature, plus the rest of your roster. - Yeah, let's go to a question here from Don Flex, Stribbling or Quentin Johnston in full PPR. - QJ. - Even, I mean, I can't start Stribbling a week one when we have no clue what his role is gonna be. And even if Mike Evans and George Kiddell say they're part-time players, they're still gonna be out there and that's still gonna push Stribbling down the target hierarchy and Evans, even if he's out there, let's just play the worst-case scenario here, Warren. Say Evans only has a 60% rouch here, you gotta believe that he's gonna be in in the primary on Red Zone stuff. So I can't start Stribbling at the gate. QJ, fantastic matchup. Yeah, I'll go with QJ in the ceiling here. - I think Quentin Johnston is very underranked in league one rankings, like just regardless of who you're putting him up against in this case is Stribbling. He's, why does he were 34? I think it's too low. I think he's gonna finish better than that this week. I'm just very under QJ, so lock step there. - Totally agree. - Another super chat here from James. Now it starts it, totally fine. Ask whatever questions you want. Trade got offered Evans and Pittman for AJ Brown, a PPR. I don't really wanna deal with his ankles, should I accept? So this is coming off of the ankle injury. Are you willing to sort of sell low here on AJ Brown and not deal with the ankle? High ankle sprains are long term, even if they're back on the field sooner rather than later. - Agreed, agreed. I'm taking the Evan side of this. Definitely taking the Evan side of this. Like I, again, we're still waiting on clarity for AJ Brown. Like it's a high ankle spray and they said no fracture, but we'd have no clue about severity. They haven't even released a timeline right now. And he's an older wide receiver, so are we expecting to bounce back like a 23 year old wide receiver would? No. So yeah, I, I'll take the Evan side of this. - I also think there's something to like, it's your team if you don't wanna deal with the headache, don't. - Yeah, exactly. - Like your team, get off that roller coaster. - Exactly. - I think I totally support that. - I mean, somebody's giving you an all framp right here and I think it's actually like fair value considering, take it. - Yeah. All right, next question here from G-Man. Welcome back, which one sits in a full PPR. Godwin, Pittman, Quentin Johnson. I'll tell you from ED bro, the answer to this is Pittman. I think the Steelers might like crush the Falcons with giving the quarterback situation and not need to throw that much. Pittman's also, you know, might, you know. I don't know what his target share will be, even if he's the number two target earner in this offense, I don't think they're gonna throw a lot in this particular game. We just talked about liking Johnson. I think Godwin was severely underrated all draft season. For me, Pittman's easy sit, what say you? - Pittman's the easy sit for me too. I talked about this this morning. Seth and I recorded the primer video, which would be out I think tomorrow, live on YouTube. It's a horrible coverage matchup for Michael Pittman. There's definitely leans and definitely in the way of DK Metcalf with Atlanta single high. So yeah, I'm not playing Pittman in any spot that I got him. Just for everybody, just context from the primer. Weeks one through Tim with Daniel Jones was healthy last year. Pittman against single high, which Atlanta last year ran towards the back end of the season. Almost 60% of the defensive snaps. Pittman only had a 20% target per run rate, 1.45 yards per route run. I'm sitting in Pittman. - Another super chat in here. We're at about prices rotation percentage. Kind of seem like he was getting the, a little bit of the frustrating Kenneth Walker at times usage in Seattle. What was your reaction to? I mean, he looked good, right? - He looked awesome. - He was like very fun to see him running, but the usage might be a frustration. What do you think? - I think the usage will be a frustration. I mean, looking at last night, it was like every time Didarian Price got on the field, we were like, okay, we need to see more Didarian Price. Why are we, and this all just comes down to trust to the rookie and stuff. What I will say with the upside is, as anybody that watched the game, you could tell Seattle was getting more trust and comfortability with Didarian Price as they move through the game. He started playing more on passing down snaps, started running some more routes. We got a little bit less Georgia Lonnie down the back half of that game. So I don't feel great about Didarian Price, but in the essence of this could be a good by-low scenario worm, where his role could continue to grow right now, is there downside because we don't know have a clue what's going on with Sam Darnal. Could he be out for the entirety of the season? Very possible, because we see,
he still don't know if he has a laboral tear on the hip. But if Sam Darnal comes back and Gideria Price continues to earn more of the work, this could be a nice by low. So I am concerned, but I think anybody with two eyes that are actually functioning the last night could see that Gideria Price obviously has juice and he's a way better runner than George Alon. - It's a team that I think is gonna win a lot of games, even on the defense alone, even if Darnal's hurt, and I think he's a good player. Like that's enough for me to be like, I don't wanna overreact to that. I'd be looking to buy more than sell if that was the question. - Same, same, same. - We have a ton of super chats in here already. Just a reminder that super chats in the first 20 minutes are the only way to 100% guarantee your question will be answered. I just wanna kind of reiterate that. As always, we are going to try to answer absolutely as many questions as possible. That is the goal, but there's just frankly too many to get through in an hour. So super chats that come in early will be prioritized. Just kind of the way we have to do it. Question here from James, a trade offer in PPR, Hampton Flowers in Watson, for Skataboo, Alave, QJ, and Bowers, would you accept? I also have Cook, Moore, Mayor, and Chigakon Quo. So again, receiving Hampton Flowers in Christian Watson, giving away Skataboo, Chris Alave, Quentin Johnson, and Bowers. - Hampton side, not close. - You're taking a hit at tight end once Bowers is back. Right, 'cause he is mayor for now, but that's- - But we have no question when that's actually gonna be. The Raiders, I will also state this. The Raiders putting out that he might miss one or two games feels extremely optimistic for Bowers right now. I strongly agree with you if Bowers is out for a while, or at least limited for a while, even when it comes back. At full strength, I would be more nervous about this, 'cause you're not getting a tight end in return. But yes, I generally agree with you, given the uncertainty with Bowers. I am on board with this one. Squirrel and I'm gonna make sure, okay. The next question here, DJ Moore, or Quentin Allen, or Baker. Oh, sorry, these are two different questions. DJ Moore, or Quentin Johnson? - This is the case of ceiling and floor. Depending on your matchup, I think DJ Moore is the target, the higher floor of the two guys. If you're going Yolo's ceiling, then it's QJ and the matchup for me. - Houston Defads has shut down Josh Allen pretty good. The last two. - I know. - Couple of times, the last two years. - Josh Allen, I would like to support QB ratings in any individual game. Two of them in the last three years of this last three came against Houston, of his lowest QB ratings in any game. And like, I know DJ Moore wasn't on those teams, but I think this Houston defense is even better than it was last two years. So that's scary to me. And then what, Allen or Baker, obviously Allen going up against that same Houston one. I don't know how you get away from it. - I can't say Josh Allen. I get, I get, I get, I get, I get, I get, I get it. - I mean, I get it. And I understand this. I feel like we're getting too cute, like we're sitting Josh Allen because, while I'm expressing concerns about DJ Moore, I think the X factor in that game to produce his Dalton arcade, regardless of what Josh Allen does or does not do through the air. We know he could still get it down with his legs. And if he's gonna be running away from the Texans past rush, he's going to get rushing yards. I'll still play Josh Allen, but I'm going QJ. On the other side of it. - Question here from James, Chigacaco or Schultz for the three or four weeks without for Bowers? - Schultz just for the target volume. - Oh, the one I don't love with either guy. - I really like, and I don't like Schultz. - I don't like him anymore. - I don't like Schultz week one versus Buffalo. They've been elite versus Titans for a number of seasons. - Do you think that'll continue with Jim Leonard? - I do. I mean, I think some of it is personnel. - We'll see. I mean, maybe it doesn't, but based off of what we know, what we don't know right now, I still don't feel great about Dalton Schultz. - Question here from Rock, PPR-10 team League have Juan as tight end. Who should I drop for Terrence Ferguson as a tight end stash? Algear, Mike Washington, Jr. Jonah Coleman, Dibo or the lemon. - Algear. - You don't think the early workload with Jimmy Jeremiah love? - I just, not that of him idea. - It's not a bad team. - It's on a bad team. The title of our year love is just jump the shark. We're quoting like depth charts prior to week one as the whole reason of being pro-tile. Our Algear, he wasn't good on a per-touch basis. He's just a touchdown dependent flex. Do we see Arizona scoring a crap ton of touchdowns? No, no, no, no. I'll drop down to our Algear. I'd rather take a flyer on Terrence Ferguson. - For me, it was either Algear or Dibo. You like Dibo better than Algear? - I like Dibo better than Algear. I mean, Dibo was a wider see for three last year. I think you could definitely do that going back to the 49ers, especially Mike Evans, can't stay healthy all season.

The World Cup is over, but if you caught the soccer bug and aren't sure what to do now, check out our podcast, Big Kick Energy. I'm Cameron Dicker, the kicker from the Los Angeles Chargers, most accurate kicker in NFL history. But I was raised on the soccer pitches of Shanghai. And I'm here with Timmy Tillman, L.A.F.C. star, grew up in the academies of Germany and now under the bright lights of Major League Soccer. So we know a little something about kicking balls. Maybe you're new to the game? Are you ready to take your passion to the next level? Each week we'll tackle things like who's winning the Premier League this year. Playing like a number 10, do you know what that means? Then we go over to France. Liga. Liga. Liga. You know what's more, he's better of me. What do you think is harder? Scoring a penalty kick or scoring a field goal? He's an NFL and I'm like, just a big vaca. I do it most. Join us each week for a quick chat with your soccer-loving bros about the best sport in the world. Soccer, just don't tell my coaches I said that. Listen to Big Kick Energy on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. You're not incurable, you're not broken. You're having a normal human experience and we have a solution for that. And that solution is our show free therapy. I'm Ben, and I'm Kevin. And we think everyone could use a little bit of therapy, including us. Absolutely. That's why each week we sit down with a different therapist to talk about the things we're all dealing with. If you're trying to get rid of anxiety, you're actually fueling more anxiety. We talk to some of the leading therapists in the country about all of life's headaches, work, family dynamics, and of course, dating and relationships. Everyone chooses a different set of problems, challenges, flaws. You have to figure out which set of problems you're willing to work with. So listen to Free Therapy with Ben and Kevin on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Because therapy's expensive, but our podcast is free. Now, the question here from James, Gentie and London, or Bucky and London, for my cook and DJ Moore. Gentie and London, or Bucky and London. I'd rather have cook and more, I think than either. I want to cook it. I want to cook it more. I think the difference between cook and Gentie with injury and certainty and Bucky in general is not an army downgraded too much for me there, and especially with London's quarterback situation. Yeah, maybe would feel differently. I was like, Oh, Pentax is healthy. I'll see maybe if we feel differently. I can't get there though. I feel like the discrepancy between cook and Bucky and Gentie is wider than the discrepancy between London and DJ Moore. Yeah, so cook and DJ Moore side for me. From Lagerie. Another question here. What up, D bro? No PPR tight-end Kyle Pits or Terrence Ferguson. Oh, it's Pits. I mean, this is, I love having Ferguson on your roster. Same. I'm very excited about him. Same. Great, great tight-end stash this week. But, but if anybody were to say we have been, we were from the future. We already know that the Rams ran out for four different tight-ends. Everybody had between of 25 to 30% route share. Would you be that surprised and weak one, Warren? No. No. He's a stash. He's not a start week one type of guy. Yeah, fully agree. We did get a super chat from the beast. Looks like there was no question actually dropped in there, so if you want to drop that in later, don't want to make you pay again, but we'll happily circle back to that one. Go to question here from Dylan. Thoughts on picking up Chris Bell in place of Jacoby Myers, sort of an upside swing there. It's an upside swing, and I'm totally down with it. Like Chris Bell, like the stuff coming out of Miami is no snap count and stuff, so he's being given the runway to be Miami's wide receiver one. If Malik Willis is actually good, I think there's a pretty good chance that he is. Yeah, I'll take the wide receiver one for the Miami Dolphins over the wide receiver
receiver three, four on some weeks for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sure. From Logan, Kiddell or Hawkinson in week one. Logan, bro, I, I, I, I, I can't, okay, I'm going to throw this to the side on this Logan, drop Hawkinson and pick up K dot and I would rather play freaking K dot and over either one of these guys, or Greg Dullsich, um, Britain Strange if he's out there, my man Dullsich and Dullsich might be available. I like that one. Any one of these guys, I do not want to play either one of them Logan. Now, if you're in a dynasty league and you got to make this choice, I'll go with George Kiddell. I have no faith or I would go, honestly, not that I can, I just like Kiddell, such a quick recovery from the, like the injury. I can't, like week one against what should be really good defense. Like I, I, I want to give him a week here. I would rather bank on a Kiddell touchdown than, than, then it's bad. Murray having to access the middle of the field. Because I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm still not gonna be able to see the line. Warm, no, nobody clip this and say that I was here fighting the good fight for TG. Oh, no, I know, let, let the record show you are not pro Kather Murray. And we are both not so, uh, next question here, started AJ Brown. May need points at flex full PPR Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Jalen Warren. They start to advise was Warren, but I may need more. What do you think? Chris Godwin, Chris Godwin, I would go Godwin in on Godwin this week. I would, my order of preference here would be Godwin, then Warren, then Evans, actually. Cause I, I think like seeers run a game up so I'm interested in because I think they're going to win by law and also the Falcons, like the one part of their team. That's still pretty good as the past defense, I think. The secondary looks strong, but Godwin is ahead of Warren for me. So I agree with you. Yeah. Next question here, start two in my flex. Tutton Brooks, Wondale Coker, Terrence Ferguson and Jalen McMillan also traded a way Lloyd for Wondale, Terrence Ferguson and Parsons and an IDP league. How did I do? I think you did. Oh, I don't like the Lloyd trade because all of those are lottery ticket type of guys. Like Parsons, Wendy's you come back. What does he look like when he comes back? If Terrence Ferguson doesn't have to be fair, Lloyd's a bit of a lottery ticket as well. Well, fair, but the upside is Josh Jacobs, when do we see him? I mean, he played, he played no contest. He's still in the exemplest. So, you know, Lloyd could be an RB two for the entire of the season. I would have wanted a little bit. Now, I think in an IDP league, obviously Parsons and Ferguson, his would put you over. So I say it's a wash, considering what we know and what we don't know. It, I think it's equal trade. The two for the flex, I think I go Tutton and Wondale. I think Wondale could get a lot of targets this week. I think I go Tutton and Coker. I like Joker with no, no collar Gordon, um, for the bears. That's their defense is horrific. I can't argue with that. I think this could quietly be a good, bright, shung game and good Lord. It's probably not going to be Wondale. The rest of you are in Tutton and Coker. So definitely Tutton, regardless. And they know I just don't know what Jonathan Brooks's workload is going to be. Yeah, that's why I can't shoot. That's all I, yeah, I want to see it. Uh, PPR Jordan Mason or Brian Thomas junior Mason, not close. Mason E. Z. R. Oh, yeah. I wrote this up in the primer, the eight games were Tyson Campbell and Denzel award. We're on the field for the Browns last year, warm, bottom three in, in yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Brian Thomas junior's going to be a tough day. Yeah, yeah. I think that's fair. Uh, just a reminder for everybody, we are past the 20 minute mark. So remember, we cannot 100% guarantee your question will be answered from here. Please keep sending them in. We'll get through as many as possible while always prioritizing your super chats. But just given the volume of questions that come in, we cannot guarantee 100% from this point on again, we'll get to as many as possible. And we will prioritize the super chats as well. Next question here. Start Mike Evans versus the Rams or Josh Downs against Baltimore. Evan, it's not close. I can't, I'm not running Josh Downs out there in any league. It's Evan, I, I really think the Ravens defense is going to be good very quickly with Jesse Minter and I think the Ravens win. And I think the under hits in that game, I think it's going to be a nastier game. I also like, what does Daniel Jones look like first came back on the field? Like, like, like, this is Evan's pries. Like for me, there are a whole lot of yesterday year. Daniel Jones vibes pushing that total to where it is. I, I, yes, I, I am on board with you all the way around in that game. Uh, another question here from James, pick two flex, burden, Parker Washington, Coker, Adunesay or Godwin, it is full PPR. Parker Washington is definitively in if anybody wants to know why go check the primer. I love Parker Washington this week. I bet the over for his receptions at plus money over on betting pros. Follow me on the app at deep row, or it's, excuse me, betting pros.com/debrew. And the second one is tough here. Man, like you got two Chicago metal james. You in full Chicago with this, bro. Like, God, Lee, bro, I think I go, Godwin is my gut reaction. I'm going to know Godwin because I feel the best about his role. I feel like I don't know what to expect out of burden in Adunesay. I don't want to see everything out of Godwin is the safest. Like we, and I think you get sealing out of Godwin this week too. I go watching Godwin. If you force me to pick one of the others, I think I'd go with Dune's a, but I, I would go, I think I'd go burden if I had to pick a Chicago bear, which metal james, you might be forced to play a Chicago bear considering your lineage. So I get it. Next question here. PPR start to flex. Zay, Parker, Terry McClure and Mike Evans, would you also try to trade kind of Walker for Hampton also have CMC JCM and Dowdell and receivers, receivers are CD and Waddle. So a lot there. So quick, let's do the start decision first PPR start to in the flex. Zay flowers, Parker, Washington, Terry McClure and Mike Evans, Zay and Parker. He's agreed. Also, so several questions. Would you trade Walker for Hampton? I feel like it's a lateral move. Like if you want to make this move because you love Hampton more than you like Walker this year, fine. But I don't feel like you're gaining or losing a whole lot. I have to break pretty similarly rest to see like I really love Hampton. You treat you bought it. You got Hampton. You drafted him. So I want Hampton and you like Walker. So let's exchange. And if that's how it goes down, fine. I'm not I'm not projecting either one of these guys for that much different. Yeah. You like one guy above the other? Fine. Go get them. I'm with you there. Question here for Mr. Ruthless, Trevor Lawrence, Bucky Irving, B. John Robinson, Zay flowers, Quentin Johnson, Devanti Smith, Tyler Warren, George Pickens, Ramsey, Fence Tyler, Lukecation, three Romeo Dobs, Najia Harris, Rashid Shaheed. They're questioning your words. So we just gave him these words to uppedics. That I didn't get a stack with Tila. Oh, they're actually I don't even see a question here. Ruthless. So we miss and this is a reasonable question. So I don't want to ignore it. But are we doing things with the roster here? I've been a producer behind the scenes. If you see a follow up question from him, please let me know where it is. So we can make sure to answer it. Maybe just ask good team. Yeah. I mean, I like I love this team. The team is really freaking good. If you're just asking us to kind of say what do we think of this roster? I like it. I mean, B. John obviously elite running back some good options at receiver. Like why do you see for one would be where I think you could improve. Obviously, I've been a little more down on Zay flowers and some of the other people here, but like very good tight end, very good running back, very good quarterback. I think like obviously great defense in the Rams. So yeah, I think really good outside of me. I think Sal found the follow. Okay, there we go. Oh, here we go. Okay, cool. But I trade away Trevor Lawrence for either DAC or Lamar. If so, who can I use to trade with? So like who could he add maybe Trevor to to get a guy like Lamar? Um, yeah, if we can go back to the full team, then I can, I can put together a trade for you. Um, I, I agree with, I, I hate Trevor Lawrence's schedule, man. I hate it up until about week 10. I, I just do not like it at all. I think the easier to out of those to get is obviously DAC because anybody that paid up for Lamar is not going to give him way and they're not going to give him a way cheap. Yeah, it would need to be something like Lawrence plus like, yeah, I don't even know who you would give up to pair to get Lamar. It's so what I would do with this is you give up the first offer I would send out is Trevor Lawrence and Romeo Dobbs and you package that is, well, AJ Brown could be out for a bunch of weeks. Now you're getting the New England Patriots. Why do you see for one? Yeah. Now, maybe they laugh at your face and say, wow, that's not nearly enough. And then you go back to the drawing board, but that's, that's where I would start with an offer. Yeah. I, I think I think that's right. I agree through there. All right. Let's go to another question here. Choose one to flex Washington or Watson in full PPR. Oh, I say play both. If I got to pick these weak one decisions, man, you're like, hey, I drafted all these good players. He recommended. There's not. I know. I know, man. And then people, I've had a few comments, people like in the primer, like, why didn't you write up like this wide receiver, three or four, bro, it's weak one, like, like nobody's like, you know, we're all rolling out the best parts of our lineups and stuff. I'll go Watson. I've got to pick between my partner, Washington, Jordan Love has had big games. I say both. I don't know. Well, Jordan Love has had big games against the Bryan Flores Vikings defense before, but his last two games against him have been poor. So maybe if you're just playing that trend as a tiebreaker, I mean, that's where, that's where I'm trying to turn here because I, I agree, generally speaking, I would like to start both. The reason and I highlighted this in the primer that I'm high on Jordan Love this week is we know that they're going to, the, the Bryan Flores is going to blitz the ever loving crap out of Jordan Love. The reason I like him this week is because over the last two seasons, amongst 37 qualifying pastors, love ranks seventh in yards per attempt and EPA per dropback versus the blitz. So I think you can have a really good game. I'm so excited about Jordan Love this season. I'm just like, yeah, completely bought. I think he was undervalued all the asses. I think I was on the exempt. Let Jordan Love cook. Please. There's always every year there's a quarterback who goes in that like QB 14 to QB 20.
- Money range, who's a mostly a passer, who just runs really hot on touchdowns and way out performs, even if he's not giving you a ton of rushing, I think that's sort of love this year. - Oh my lord. - We might get Cooper Rush under center for the Falcons this week. - Oh, she was like banged up today, right? I saw that. - Oh god. - I'd rather see Jack Strand. - Jack Strand season, we need it. All the Falcons assets and fantasy needed. Jack Strand, not Cooper Rush. - Oh, geez. - Let's get to a happier note here. - Mark Ramelite and DK Matka for Diadre Swift and Trevor Lawrence. I'd much rather have the Swift and Lawrence side. - I'll take the Swift and Lawrence side. - That's fine. - That would be my preference. - I'm hoping that that is a super flex that you're making this trade and not a one in the key point. - If it's one QBX, it depends on who your other quarterback is. - Yeah, depending on who your other quarterback is. Straight up, I would take the Swift side, but it's just a panic close. - Yeah. - I agree. - I'm remotely close. Terrence Ferguson, Mark Andrews or Jake Ferguson? - Mark Andrews, baby. - This is for a week. - Talk about him before, I'd be sampling. - Yeah. - I'm assuming. - Yes. - Luanna Rumo-Devances, provide to tight ends. We know this. - My Zayflowers versus Mark Andrews touched down, bet with direction. - You're gonna hear it again. - I'm out leading. - I think it's gonna start on strong. - You are. - Now he could be a push. Zay could get in the end zone, but I'm telling everybody right now, I think Mark Andrews scores a touchdown this week. - I agree. - I picked him as my touch down call on the start-sid, I guess earlier today I taped with Jake on the, and Fitz. And it wasn't because I'm being a homer. - Robert. - I knew he was one of the weird things. - I was just being an homer. - I knew he was gonna be a homer. - I know. - From Robert, PPR, Christian Watson, or Parker Washington Flex. Same question that we just had. - Oh! - Jeez, man. - We split this one. I went with Parker Washington and Diverwood. - Yeah. - But he wants you to start both. - He has flowers and higgins in the other spots. - It's my favorite sons. I can't pick between them. - What is their ranking in ECR? I don't actually know. Parker Washington. It's super twenty six Christian Watson, it's super twenty four. It's very close to each other. - Yeah. - I would go Washington and Diverwood would go Watson. I think it's very close to-- - And just for clarity sake, I do have, I have Christian Watson and White receiver 18 and Parker Washington and White receiver 20. So, White receiver 2s. - Right there. Another question here is, Shuck over Daniels and Week 1 Crazy. Not at all. - Not crazy. - In fact, I would do, not crazy. I would do that. - I would prefer to start Shuck this week. In the course field of the NFL, as Erickson always calls it, Ford Field for the Lions. It banged up defense, banged up secondary in particular. I think the Lions are going to score a lot. So, Shuck will have to throw at Daniels first game back from the Achilles against again. What I think is going to be a really improved, not only defense in Baltimore, but specifically pass rush against the guy who might not have his level of mobility. Shuck easy for me. - And if you're out there in the betting markets, you can always entice me with a plus money over for passing touchdowns. Tyler Shuck is like plus 120 to plus 130 out there for one and a half over one and a half pass and touchdowns, already bet the over on the betting bros app. - One more super chat here. Couldn't start both watching and Watson already have Waddle say Brown. This was the earlier question on Washington. - I mean, I get it. I get it. Any thought of like one of those guys over Waddle? Or, no, you just don't know. - No, no, I'm wrong with Waddle. - I mean, I agree. I just had to ask. - I know, but it's tough, man. Like, people, they follow it all the advice all summer. Now they drafted all these monster teams and they got problems, dude. - So again, we don't have a consensus here. I say Washington and Divers as Watson. We both think it's extraordinarily close. They're like. - Go full two phase, flip a coin. - Yeah, pretty much. All right, that's all the super chats for now. So let's scroll back and start getting some of these other questions in here. Again, we cannot guarantee any other questions getting answered, but we will get through as many as we can and we will prioritize super chats as they come in. Before we get to the next question though, if you want the chance to win, a Kyron Williams signed Rams mini helmet, then this is your shot. All you have to do is leave a review on either Apple podcasts or Spotify, then screenshot that review and email it to
[email protected]. We will be announcing the winner right here on the show. So make sure to turn on those YouTube notifications or follow the podcast wherever you claim to listen to us. Excuse me, wherever you listen to us. So you can know a new episodes are up and to claim your prize. As a claim to listen to us. Of course they're listening to us, Debra. But yeah, that's a Kyron Williams signed Rams mini helmet. Very cool. Give it away there. Scroll back to the beginning here and start out getting through, we'll go quickly through as many as we can. From Joseph, crazy to trade AJ Brown for Christian Watson. - Nope, not crazy at all. - Not crazy. - Michael Sprayne's linger. They always do. We've seen it with Sadie Lam, they always linger. I do not think. - Speaking of which, I got to go update my rest of season rankings after all this stuff. I don't know what else I've been doing. - I wouldn't give away AJ Brown for nothing, but a guy like Christian Watson that we really liked already. Yes, will he do that? - But dropping him into like live on the show right now, I'm dropping AJ Brown into the white receiver two territory right behind Christian Watson. So like in that DJ Moore and Mecca Bucca kind of category. Rico Dowdell or DJ Moore in half PPR? - This is half PPR. - Half PPR, I'll go DJ Moore. Just, I feel better about the volume of DJ Moore when we don't have a clue. Like, could this be Rico Dowdell when he scores a touchdown? Sure. Could it also be Javila Moore and then he gets the touchdown? - Absolutely. I'll go to general. - Do you know how many carries the Steelers are gonna have in this game against me? - A Cooper Rush led Falcons offense. It's in Pittsburgh that front seven against either two of, if he's back or, or Cooper Rush, they're going to run the crap out of the ball. - I hate the fact that you're making me reconsider my answer live on the show and I'm gonna go with you. - I'm gonna go with you. Uncle Rico, you've twisted my arm. - I agree with you. - It is an excellent question because I love to give memory to this. - Cooper Rush of this. - The Cooper Rush of this. - I agree with you. - I agree. - I think that's why I have to go that direction. - I don't like it. - But I don't like it either. - But I agree with you. - Question here from Kelly, Skataboo, DK, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason in my flex. We don't know if this is PPR or not. - The floor play is DK. The ceiling play is QJ, depending on your matchup. Go whichever direction makes you feel good. - What do you think about Skataboo? - You haven't really talked about him for a week one. - I just don't know about his workload, man. Like I don't think the giants and the harball of this like Skataboo as much as the fantasy consortium, like Skataboo. Like I think people could see more nausea-eris than they think they signed up for. But you tell me if I'm wrong. You're the Greg Roman whisperer of this show. - Worm. - I don't wanna be. - I know. Nobody asked if you wanted it. You were born into this. You were bathed into this. - I kind of see non-Greg Roman years until you were a man. - Yes. - Me, you. - I can't stop that. It's a great comp. - I figured you would enjoy that. - I really wanna see what the Cowboys defense looks like honestly before I'm like super excited about. - Oh. - Based bad defense last year. Go start Skataboo. Like I'm really curious what that defense is gonna look like. I also think the Cowboys are just gonna win like pretty solidly, in which case I don't know. I mean, Skataboo can catch pass is like what would that actually look like in this episode? - What would it look like? - I don't know. So yeah, I think I'm with you on this one. Yeah. All right, let's go to the next question here. From Sean, full PPR, 12 team Flex, McCloren, or Warren. - I'll go with Terry just for the target volume. I know it's a horrible matchup. I get it all. Like this is just betting on talent. I have no clue what the world was gonna look like for Jail and Warren this week. - Yeah, even though I like the sealers to run a lot, that could go to a doubtful, right? We don't know. So, McCloren, if it goes jump out to a big lead, Washington's gonna be forced to throw the freaking ball. - And by the way, the fours are gonna win big. - I do, too. - Which will mean a lot of throwing. So yeah, no, I'm with you there. Jackson Dart or Trevor Lawrence, full PPR. - Well, I love you when you get those questions. - T-Law catching his own passes. I mean, we shall see. They're close. I think I'll go T-Law with this. - I would. - It's supposed to go Trevor. - I'm thinking through it more. Yeah, I'll go to Charles. I'm just like not a dark guy. I know you like Dart more than I do, general. - I like Dart a lot. But again, we have to see the Matt Naggy of all of this. - Yeah. - I go Lawrence for me. - Question from Christopher, Jane Daniels or Tyler Schuck in 16 team full PPR. Again, he's right here. - I'm gonna go Tyler Schuck. - Because obviously those guys are drafted very far apart. - I know. - I know. - Immediately switching up the rankings in season. - Not just the season. - Just the season. - I just really worry about what this is going to look like. - We just said that the commanders might have to throw a lot to keep up with the emails. - So you're going Jane Daniels? - I'm not saying that. - I know, I'm asking. So you're going Jane Daniels? - I play Devils Advocate. I play Worms Advocate. - I'm going to go Towershuck and I know it's probably going to bite me, but I just worry by now. - I know. - Let's make shift all sorts of lines. - But here's what I'll say. If I wasn't a coward, I would say Schuck with my chest. Because I am a coward. - I'm being a coward too. I'm not saying it with my chest or burnt. - Chest I guess is what I'm doing. But I mean. - It's a great question. It's a type of question that I love and we don't want. - It's tough. - Because there are always these start sit decisions where you drafted a stud and then you drafted somebody else that you like as an upside guy. And then we get to the season. - Very, very clear. - Uh huh. - I tend to say start your studs, right? Don't pay to the matchup unless it's truly on the extreme. I think this might be on the extreme. I think you guys are going to dominate the line of scrimmage in this game. And I don't know what Janiel's going to do. - To that point, I got a crap ton of Drake May questions yesterday and I was like, okay, start him. Is everybody happy?
that she started Drake May last night. - I think probably not. Like so is crazy as it sounds to play in Shuck over Jane Daniels. If he has a Drake May as performance. - It's not just like, oh, it's a pretty good matchup for Shuck. I think this is as good a matchup as you can get. - High total point. - High total, I mean, at Ford Field, I think they're gonna be trailing. Like, I really like and I would wrap, I like Alave and John Johnson more than I like Shuck. If that makes sense, I like a mall. But, yeah, this matchup for Daniels. - Again, I don't know why this game is a touch down. And maybe I'm an idiot, maybe I'm a SAP who's gonna be proven wrong. I think Phil is gonna dominate this game. - I think Phil is gonna have, I don't understand. Like, Phili at home, and they're only getting five and a half. - Both Pennsylvania teams at home, I don't understand why the line is a bigger. - Yeah. - Oh, I feel about it. - I think the Eagles are gonna cover that. - So, I do a picks pool where you pick five games and two of them you kind of like double up his bonus. Like, these are worth more. Those are my two games this week are the two home Pennsylvania teams. - Yeah. - I could be a sucker, but that's all I can say. - I like it. - From Rob, half PPR, John Johnson or Mayor lost powers. - I'll go to John Johnson, we're playing the total here. - I was gonna say, I'm going to John, even though we like Mayor without powers, I like John better in this particular week for sure. - I mean, bro, one of them's got a 50 total. - He's gonna be the number two target in this offense. It's a big game, high score, and we think big total game. - One's got a 50 total, and the Lions are getting seven points. - And Mayor's a good player, but he wasn't practicing as the one this summer, right? Like, there's an element of working it back in it. Like, I do like both, but I would prefer John. - Well, the other side of this is like, could you just, I mean, see the Raiders just implode, dude. I think that's possible. - I don't like that all sorts of defense, but I agree. - Another one here, from Quincy, two receivers, two flex, Zay Higgins, Parker Washington, Bird, and Christian Watson, Kenneth Walker, Rico Dato, Jordan Mason, and Taje Spears. - All right, so, all right. So two wide receivers were playing Zay, we're playing T. - So then two flex, it's basically between Parker Washington, Christian Watson and Kenneth Walker. - I mean Kenneth Walker is playing in one of those. So then it comes down to Washington and Watson. - Washington and Watson, so I'll go Watson again, again. Like, I feel like, "Disha Vu, we've been here before, Worm." - It's a key question of the episode. - I can't imagine. - I'm so curious when we get, I'm on Sunday's livestream, Sunday morning with Alfredo. So everybody needs to tune in to that on YouTube and what have you and stuff. Do the shameless plug here. But I'm so curious after this stream, how many Parker Washington versus Christian Watson questions, we get on Sunday, dude. You better be prepared with a more convicted answer after this. - Apparently, I mean, my answers start both, but everybody's got the teams or two good. - It may all throw it up on our Twitter account, Paul, who we are starting this week, 'cause this is gonna be one of the most asked questions this week. - I truly think so. Yeah. - All right, a question here from Luke. Bros, UK fan here, awesome. Shout out to Luke, Pawn. We love Tom Stracken on our shows a lot from UK as well. Would you start Christian Watson by your way? (laughing) You see how this team. - He's got some others. Are Christian Watson Parker Washington, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason at Flex, have Josh Allen and Herbert at QB, Henry and Skatavu at Running Back, and Adams and a Lava at Receiver. It's a two QB standard 10 team league. So this is standard scoring. Christian Watson, Parker Washington, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason in the Flex. - Christian Watson, I can't hear you just. - Would you consider putting Washington ahead of Devante Adams to make a room at Receiver or no? - No, I think Adams has a really good game. So, it's close though. Let's see you're going to Watson. I'll say the same thing. - I know, yeah. There's no way in all this burns me. - And it's definitely one of those two not Jordan Mason in standard, or Quentin Johnson. - No, 'cause I think you looking at that. - All these guys are good plays. This is a very strong group to be picked. - Damn, if you do, damn, if you don't. This is one of those situations where Sunday night, you're like, I wish I would have done this. And if you'd have done that, then maybe it works out different and you're like, still, I wish I'd have done this. So, yeah. One last reminder for everybody that we cannot guarantee any answers to questions that come in from this point on. We will power through absolutely as many as we can as I keep promising, but we cannot promise anything from here on just 'cause we only have an hour for the show. And we get so many questions. They're wonderful questions. We really appreciate them, but we can only get to so many. Another super chat here from Vinnie. I have A. Chan, Hall, Stevenson, Merritt, and Amon Ross St. Brown, N. Tech, Godwin, Wanda, as well. Don't see a question here. This might be just asking. Oh, this was from earlier the trade that Vinnie asked about when he was asked about A. Chan and Hall for Gibbs. I believe that did. - Oh, oh, got it, got it. - Then considering you're running back room, no. I'm staying with A. Chan and Hall. - Yeah, like Gibbs and Stevenson isn't terrible, but like that is. - And it's not great. - No depth there anymore. - It's not great. - Yeah. - I think that's reasonable to get away. - I think in a vacuum, I still prefer Gibbs to those two, but given the makeup of the roster, I agree. Now, if you could maybe first trade like-- - Could you do A. Chan and Godwin? - I was gonna say, if you could get a receiver in there, or maybe if you could say, oh, let me just trade Godwin for like, Bucky Irving or somebody. Like, I don't know who would make sense, but-- - Like A. Chan and Ted or A. Chan and Godwin, and try to get a receipt-- - See, get another running back in there that I would still do it, but I can't do it as is with the city running back. - No, I agree. - Yeah. - Too thin. - Okay, another super chat here I give. James Cook and Omenra, that's a lot. We would receive Quentin Johnson, Blake Korn, McCrish and McCaffrey. - Hell no. - By the way, before we got to CMC, I was like, what world, and then I saw the CMC. I was still-- - I keep you from PPR 10 men, Ali. - Hell no. No. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - You, yeah, Google, the skydad is agreeing with us. Yeah, that's too much. There's a world where Korn and Johnston are awesome this year, but you are projecting that to hopefully happen. We know Cook and Omenra are awesome. - Yeah. - Like, McCrish and I every is great. But he was going like three spots ahead of James Cook and I was like, also get another first rounder. I can't do it. That is like projecting CMC as like the overall 101 pick of like being like Jamir Gibbs. - It needs to be one of those years where CMC was the only player that mattered. - Yeah, I mean, it couldn't happen, but. - It could be, but that's also said, like James Cook is the top five running back as well. So like, no, there's no way I'm making that trade. - Hell no. - Nice comment here from Max Heybros, made championship in four of seven leagues and won it all in two of the four. - Has he has been my go-to for several years now? Thanks for all the tips ready for your 18. - We are ready for our not your 18 here at Fantasy Pros, but whatever your this is for each of us, very excited to be here again and helping out. So hopefully we can get you back to a couple of those and hey, maybe you can win a championship in all four leagues this year, Max. That's the goal. - Let's go Max. - That's always shooting for the stars here. Question from Steven, should I pick up and stash Bigsby or Wix? I have Barkley. I like Wix better than a vacuum, but does the fact that he's Barkley changed it for you? - No, I wouldn't rather do Wix. I mean, as early as you drafted Barkley anyway, like you're betting on him being healthy, like we're in week one. Like this is kind of like a midseason. Like when we get to us, Fitz always calls it hand-cuffin and stuff in season, then then you flip it to Wix from to tank. - Yeah. All right, let's jump around. No super chats in here right now. So we'll see how many questions we can get answered. Let's see if there's one where it's not one we've already gotten to. How about a defensive one? Raven's defense are the Rams. Rams? - I'm going Rams. I think the 49er's going to have a tough time. I really do. - I think I agree. I'll go Rams too. I think it's close. - You were weighing it so hard of how hard you wanted the homer. - I can't feel it in that side. - I just really think Jesse Mentor is like one of the five best defensive minds in football. - Is Mattabouke going to play this way? - It's not clear. At least as far as I've seen, it is not clear. - Okay, that's that practice. - Yeah, but if we knew, if we knew he was going to play, maybe that shifts this, but I think it's the Rams because I'm with you. I think it's kind of like 50/50 plays or he doesn't play this week. - Yeah. - Another question from Derek. Start Korm or Algier. - Korm. - Korm, I'm obviously going to have to decide tonight. - I like Korm. - I agree. - I like Korm this week. I already bet the over and his rushing yards. - I agree. - Question from Chris. Start Ferguson or Dullsich at tight-end? - Dullsich. - Dullsich. Baby, I know he's getting routes. It's a good matchup. I have no clue what Ferguson's role. Again, just how you frame this earlier worm. Ferguson is a wonderful stash. There's lots of upside. Is there any way shapeform or fashion I'm rolling him out in a lineup in week one? - Hell no. - I am not allowing Terri's Ferguson to sit on the waiver wire in any league I am in, but that does not mean I am starting him in week one. Should I start Kittle or Andrews? God be Andrews. - Andrews? - Yeah, Andrews. - Andrews? - Sure. How about Waddle or Quentin Johnston in a standard league? - Waddle. - Yeah, it's going to be Waddle. - Waddle for you. - All right, how about, we already answered that one. How about Flowers or Waddle or Jalen Warren in the flex? So it's really kind of good that a Flowers or Waddle? - I think I would go Waddle. - I'll take Waddle. - I'll take Waddle. - Of course. - I think I would go Waddle too. - It's between Waddle and Waddle and Flowers. Jalen Warren's signing him in the conversation for me. - Yeah, I agree. - Yeah. - The goat, should I start Matthew Stafford today or Caleb Williams this weekend against the Panthers? - I'd start Stafford. Stafford's pretty good against the nine.
I'm really excited. I'm really excited about you two in the Ben Johnson offense for Caleb Williams. I know you've always been a bit of a Caleb Williams hater. DeRoe Stafford against the Niners has been pretty good. I prefer to think of myself as a Caleb Williams realist. I feel like people tell themselves a lot of lies with Caleb Williams, but on the pro Stafford side, I'll just read off the stat lines that he had versus the 49ers in two games last year. 389 passing arts, three passing scores, 25.6 fantasy points, 280 and four passing scores, 26.9 fantasy points just feel like pretty good stat lines weren't pretty good. Are you worried at all about like the travel stuff in terms of this game tonight? No, because I feel like what's going to happen with that, regardless, like however this game plays out, this is going to be the hindsight bias of all time of yesterday. Like it's where it's like, yeah, whichever team wins, everybody's going to come out and be like, yeah, you know what? You see? That's exactly what they should have done. They should have not flown into the last second. Other team wins. See? This is what they should have done. They should have flown in like two weeks prior and been there and set up shop and gotten condos. I mean, come on. You know, that's going to, you know, that's going to play out. Nobody has a real conviction, but they're all play armchair quarterback after it happens. It'd be like, we knew, see you. I think you are 100% correct. Yeah. Let's go to question here from Paul. Excuse me. How do you, 12 man PPR? Anyone you would trade? Tyler Warren, Jalen Warren, Waddle, Nico Collins, Tutan Jonathan Brooks, Brian Thomas, Jr. Michael Wilson. Anybody you'd be looking to trade here? Debra, I know you're going to say Brian Thomas, Jr., if you can get anything. If you can get anything, if you could package Brian Thomas, Jr. with like, I'm intrigued by trading Michael Wilson. He was not the number one target. Nothing together. Go find the Michael Wilson believer in your. There is one in every league. And there might be a Brian Thomas, Jr. believer. Exactly. I was guessing the same person and you're like, hey, you want Michael Wilson? How about some Brian Thomas, Jr.? I actually believe it. Come on. I think you could make a very compelling case to trade away any of Tutan Brooks, Thomas or Wilson. I think any of those last four names, I'm pretty open to the idea of trading them. Obviously, it depends what you get back, but I think that there's a world where a month from now, we look back and say September 10th was the high point of value for all four of those guys. As soon as the game started being played, it went down. I could see that happening. Michael Wilson and Brian Thomas, Jr. or Chris Goblin. Chris Godwin for me. Okay. or Roma Dune say. Rome. I'm not scared off by the foot. I've been all in on Rome this summer. Rome. Same thing or Quentin Johnston. It's harder because it's more of a projection. I definitely feel like the upside is really high for Johnson, but that's harder to say like to me that feels like you should probably be able to do maybe not quite a one for one, but closer to that and not need to package both would be my guess based on just where they're ranked right now. What about Brian Thomas, Jr. and Michael Wilson for JMO. I think I want JMO. I would want JMO too. So there's going to be possible. Yeah. We're talking about two receivers who are ranked in the 30s. Like those feel like possible trades, right? Well, I mean, we're talking about two receivers who are ranked in the mid 30s and draft season for a lot of receivers, you just threw out there were ranked in like the mid 20s. That feels like on paper, it's doable. Maybe you run into people who aren't that interested in them, but I look at people who any managers in your league who need some depth at receiver and say, hey, I would, I'm not asking for a star. Give me, you know, guy like a dune say, you might be number two. DJ more. I'd take DJ more. Yeah, maybe you would take any of those guys. And here's the thing. Maybe you take Brian Thomas, Jr. and Michael Wilson, you package them together. DJ Moore has a down game versus the Texans this week and you go try to get DJ more effort down week. That's a good point. You don't have to make the trade this week. No, you don't have to let week one let let week one play out possibly and then you go see who's the by low. Bro's JSN for Walker and a LaVay. JSN for Pickens and Brown to options here. I have Javante Warren Dobbins Waddle, Christian Watson and Godwood. So JSN for Walker and a LaVay or JSN for Pickens and Brown. I would do either. If I'm given the choice, I'm taking the pickens one, but I would do either. Which one do I prefer is actually a really good question. Here's the thing. Get this done ASAP because as soon as the Darnal news drops, when it drops, you're not getting this trade done. Seems like a little positive about possibly they got good news on Darnal's. Well, they got good news that he didn't have a hip fracture. It's him possibly having a laboral tear is still could be has that he is out of the season. Oh, man, I'm actually really torn on the guy. I know I think I might prefer Walker and a LaVay to Pickens and Brown, but it's like I totally but again, it's I think either one of these is a win. I would do either one of these in a heartbeat. Yeah, totally fair to to be on the other side of that one. All right. Ian Thomas or Darren Waller after losing. Bowers is getting a guillotine league. So you want to get it right? Losing power in a guillotine league is tough. Waller. That's brutal, but I don't feel good about either. Yeah. All right. How about a stripling or pitman in PPR? And yes, I use the tools because I have MVP membership. Let's go. Danny love to hear it. Uh, stripling. I don't think this is not, no, I don't like Michael Pippen this week. I really take the upside case and just the unknown of stripling, then then rolling out Michael Pippen from Scott 16 team PPR Flex spot digs or wicks. Obviously digs with a really tough matchup, but it is the better player. Yeah, I think you which is another guy I'd like to have on my team. I'm not really starting him week one. No, same. How confident are we in Tucker craft for week one? That is confident as you can be for a guy that's probably going to play 60% of the snaps. Probably have like somewhere around a 60 to 70% rapper, dropper, dropback rate. Um, I don't love Tucker craft this week, but again, you got to do is getting the ends all he could definitely do that to be a tight in one this week. So PPR, Warren or Mason. Jalen Warren to be like, I'm going Jalen Warren based off the matchup and everything. We've already I got I think the Steelers just roll this week, man. Cooper rush girl. Yeah. I need to tight end until Bower's gets back. Should I pick up Chicago Terrence Ferguson or Greg Dullsich? I would we've been talking about you. How you don't need to start. Pick up right away, but I understand Dullsich. Yeah. If you can see what I would be asking Ferguson for sure. Dullsich for this week. I would pick up both of them in the case that Brock Bower's is out much longer than the Raiders would like to blow smoke and tell people. Yeah. Tonight's game, Stribbling or Kittle. Stribbling. I just I don't it's a horrible matchup for Kittle. I don't know what his route here looks like. No clue. Yeah. I have to drop one of these three who would you recommend Lloyd Korum or Bill? For me, it's Bill. For me, it's Korum. I can't drop Korum. I get it. I understand. Do you understand how Korum's a top five running back? I understand that, but if Bill could easily just be the starting running back for the commanders from the word go. So I can't drop a possible starter for a handcuff. I wouldn't want to drop any of the three. I don't want to drop any of the three, but if I got to drop any of them, I'm dropping the handcuff guy. Full PPR Brooks or Wondail Robinson. Full PPR Ogo Wondail. I just don't know what Jonathan Brooks's work load looks like. I think full PPR Wondail is actually really sneaky start this week. So I'm with you there. I can see it. How about Kittle or Kelsey? I'm not really talking to you about Kelsey. Kelsey. Kelsey, I don't think, Debra, where are you? I don't Kelsey for the season. I think he's going to be a low-end Titan one. I think he's not going to be amazing. I think he's going to get a lot of target volume. And we're just rolling back the Chief's offense. Like, Kelsey was not bad on a per-row basis last year. He just didn't get the touchdowns. If he gets the touchdowns this year, he's got about five to seven upside. But I just, I think it just comes back to target volume. Yeah, I mean, Kelsey for this week. How about two defenses with awesome matchups, Eagles defense or Jacksonville? I think both are going to do very well. Shannon, I'm going to go Eagles. I feel like Jacksonville. I think I feel like most people would say Jacksonville just because Cleveland is going to be the auto-star. I just put a thing about Cleveland is could they just like, could Deshant Watson look that got awful? And then they say, fine, we're going to try to hide him and just give carriers to Quinch on Judkins. And then you're not getting the turnovers. You got to score points. You got to get sacks. You got to get turnovers to get fantasy points. We are going to get dropbacks from Jay Daniels behind that offensive line. We're going to get it. Great call. You convinced me. I go Eagles. Half of you are bench one Watson, Gainwell, Marvin Harrison, Jr. Definitely not Watson. So who you mentioned between Gainwell and Marvin Harrison, Jr. I like Gainwell a ton this week. I wonder, I feel like the Cardinals might have to throw a ton this week to keep up with the chargers. They might, but who is your true wide receiver one? Oh, wait, it's Traming Pride. Yeah. Yeah, it's fair. I mean, obviously, you're definitely not benching Watson. So it's between the others. I think it's reasonable to go the direction you went. We got like two minutes left here. So we'll get through as many as possible. Choose two of three. Waddle Higgins Wilson. First two. DK or downs. DK, not close bench downs. Everywhere you got him. Don't blame this week. Jackson Dart or Jaden Daniels. Dart. Kenneth Walker or David Montgomery in PPR. K. Dub. But the answers really both.
Brian Thomas Jr. or Carnell Tate in full PPR Tate not close I'm not playing Brian Thomas Jr. anywhere Tutan or Lloyd and standard Lloyd this come who do you think it's the Red Zone workworm Lloyd or Tutan this week Lloyd well exactly if it's healthy exactly yeah yeah he gets the Red Zone work PPR flex Jonathan Brooks or Tray Tucker okay this the Brooks line going Brooks I will not play Tray Tucker I do not have any faith at all in Tray Tucker none how about Tutan or Evans in the flex I'll play Evans I have a lot of concern and I just don't know what to do is we're all going to be it's not a great match up for him either Parker Washington or March on Lloyd geez my favorite sons it's Washington I know you like Lloyd I like but it's you're right it's Washington it's Washington we got to have a limit somewhere I like Lloyd Washington yeah actually another question here same one start with PPR Adunse DJ Moore Jordan Mason I don't know what the Rome adunse news is gonna be like between now and Sunday I'll I'll I'll go ahead and tell you DJ Moore I don't feel really great about any of these guys just because the Rome foot stuff if we get good injury updates on Adunse he is we get a good injury update then it's Rome that I will say that but but right now in the dark on a Thursday I don't know what that's gonna look like for the rest of the week Trevor Lawrence or Jared goff goff not close agreed Mike Evans or Christian Watson Watson not close agreed let's see if he's any more in the last few seconds here Michael mayor or Dalton Schultz mayor flex spot full PPR pitman or Pollard Pollard goff party or mayfield it's four point for passing touchdown goff play the total baby Watson bird intake or Mason for flex it's full PPR Watson Watson yeah Cuba or Lloyd full PPR Lloyd not close all right let's do two more and get out of here there I answered that one read pitman or Marvin Harrison Jr. and full PPR this is the marveline and one more of Marvin here all right one more let's see if I can find a player we haven't really talked about so not Christopher Watson and not Parker Washington yeah how about love or Hubbard Jeremiah love Jeremiah love even with the ankle stuff yep you're with that and we believe in Hubbard we will go ahead and wrap things up there so we couldn't get to literally every question obviously we get so many of these here which is awesome the
