Welcome to Fantasy Football Today Dynasty.
I am your host, Heath Cummings, and it's a
one-man mailbag day. I wanted to thank you guys, sent in more questions for the first
half of March than we I think we had in maybe January and February combined. So if I didn't
get to your question, I apologize. I'm going to get to as many as I can today, but I am
excited. Some great questions, of course, about the 2025 draft class.
A lot of questions about AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, and some of these wide receivers.
I actually wrote about that today as wide receiver dynasty rankings update for the
month of March is coming out on Tuesday, Monday.
Running backs were already published. We'll have quarterbacks tight ends. The dynasty trade charts are up on sports line. A programming note, we will
have a normal show on Friday of this week. Next week, I will be off taking a little vacation
to get ready for what is one of our most impactful and busiest months of the year here at FFT
dynasty. We will once again be doing our 2025 NFL draft previews. We've
got some great guests lined up. We'll have a couple of running back shows, a couple of wide
receiver shows, a quarterback show, a tight end show. We are going to have you up to date on all
the big name prospects and some of the, you know, the best experts from around the industry, some of
their favorite sleepers. Maybe we'll find this year's Puka Nakua
as if there will be one,
but I wanna start off with the emails.
So like I said, fantasyfootballatcbsi.com,
send in your questions there.
I said this last month and you guys really listened,
we got a bunch of them.
Let's get through as many as we can.
Simon had a question about starting a rebuild.
Some of you guys just got nauseous.
Some of you guys hate that rebuild period.
I absolutely love it.
I think we had Davis Maddock on our last show
and he said that rebuilding may be even more fun
in some ways than contending.
I agree, but he says, I'm at the bottom of my rebuild,
a long way from competing without many good wide receivers.
I have multiple picks across the first two rounds in the 2025 draft.
What approach should I take given that this draft has so many running backs,
which I'm not in need of yet.
And I do think that there are some rebuilders and including at least one of
my teams that kind of find yourself in that place, the beginning of the rebuild,
not exactly when you want to be stocking up on
running backs, and this is a great running back class and kind of a weak
quarterback and wide receiver class.
That being said, I do think there's a couple of wide receivers, three or four
at the top of this class, Ted McMillan, despite the speed concerns, Luther
Burden, if he gets the right landing spot, Travis Hunter if he's actually
going to play wide receiver and then even Matthew Golden the speedster. If those guys land in the
right spot, I'm going to get a lot more excited about them in round one. So I'd probably be
looking Simon for a mix of approaches here and it's not going to be solidified until after the NFL
draft and we find out where these guys are and I don't know exactly where your picks are, but I would probably kind of be going
50-50 on trying to land a couple of the top wide receivers in this class.
I do think a couple of them will hit and be top 20, maybe even one top 12 dynasty wide
receiver in the class.
And then I would also be looking to move into that 20-26 class, which I do think will be better for wide receivers.
I'm probably not targeting running backs in the first round, unless you have 101 and just can't
get a good deal for it, then I'd be fine with go ahead and take Gentie and maybe move him later.
Maybe you're good by the time that you need him. But I wouldn't be opposed in round two. It's a
very deep running back class. Also, I think it's a chance in round two. It's a very deep running back class.
Also, I think it's a chance in round two that you find a couple of running backs that become
starters and maybe you can turn those into 2026 firsts halfway through this season. So
kind of split up the firsts, try to move a couple of them for 2026 first, draft a couple
of the top wide receivers, and then target these running backs and maybe a tight end and around two and
Look to move the running backs that turn into starters in the middle of the season
Joseph brings up a good question about trading wide receivers for tight ends in tight end premium leagues
He started joined a startup half point per PPR
Tight end premium super flex league last year has a solid
roster lost in the first round of the playoffs last year looking to move some
of his wide receivers to improve his roster, but he's having a hard time
finding a balanced trade.
His wide receivers, Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Jaylen Waddle, Ricky
Pearsall, Jaylen McMillan, Cedric Tillman, AD Mitchell.
I, here's what I would say. Jalen McMillan, Cedric Tillman, A.D. Mitchell.
Here's what I would say, it's tough to find targets with those wide receivers
because I think you kind of have a good number one,
a good number two, maybe two good number twos,
but then a lot of question marks after that.
I don't really in tight end premium
like targeting the mid range to low end starting tight ends.
What I'd maybe be looking for, and I'm going to say this again a little
bit later, cause we had another tight end question.
In fact, maybe we just combined it with Jake's tight end question from Kansas
city, he has Evan Ingram, Jatavian Sanders and Ben Sennett on a contender
and has picked four or five and nine and wanted to know if he should draft a
tight end with his ninth pick.
I think if you truly feel like a contender, the two guys that I'm trying to
go get or see if I can trade a late first, maybe for George Kittle and a second,
or see if I can trade a second for Travis Kelsey, if you can't do that, or if
you're not quite to the contending window, then I do think there are three or
four tight ends in this class. Definitely Warren, definitely Colston Loveland out of Michigan,
definitely Harold Fanon. Those three guys in tight end premium, if they're there at
pick nine for you, Joseph, I'd be willing to go in that direction. So it really just
kind of depends on how close are you to contending. I like the rookies and the younger guys, even Sanders and Ben
Senate who were on Jake's team. if you're in a contending window.
I'm not particularly interested in making a trade for somebody in that tight end seven through tight end 12 range, because really what tight end
premium does is it makes those elite tight ends, the guys who catch a ton of
passes, get a bunch of targets.
It makes those guys even more valuable than the guys in the low end
tight end one range. And I'm not sure it does much to separate the tight end ones from the
tight end two. So don't overpay for mediocre tight end production just because you're in
a tight end premium class. See if you can target either older proven high target earners or some of these younger guys that might turn into studs.
One other thing that Jake said in his message was,
Brenton Strange is the only free agent worth anything.
Brenton Strange is definitely someone that whenever free agency opens up in your dynasty league,
I would be looking to add.
And let's just see what his role looks like.
The Jacksonville offense is not going to be as tight end centric now that
Doug Peterson has gone, but I still think strange off the waiver wire could
be a top 12 tight end quick trade question from Alec in the emails.
He was offered Sam Donald for Isaac Garendo and a 20, 25 second.
It's two Oh eight.
This is a 10 man super flex PPR league.
Alec take that trade really quick.
I don't need to give you any more advice.
Sam Darnold.
I've got a little bit of question mark about what he's going to do in
Seattle when he goes away from Kevin O'Connell, but Garendo and a late second
for a SERT, a starting quarterback that I expect will be starting at
least the next two years.
That's a great deal.
Go get them.
Mitchell is in a stalled rebuild, tried to go in a couple of years ago.
It didn't work last year before the draft.
I tore it all down.
I sold cup McCaffrey, ETN, Laporta and more to regain capital and restart the rebuild.
So after more trades, getting the capital back for this year, it looks like it's just kind of,
you guys have been there, you're rebuilding, but you're having a hard time seeing the path to contending.
He's been offered either Jameson Williams or Jerry Judy, I'd prefer Jameson Williams,
along with the third pick, the seventh pick and the 11th pick in this year's draft.
That's a lot of draft capital.
Three top 11 picks, 103, 107, and 111, along with Jameson Williams.
The guy wants Lad McConkey and Marvin Harrison.
I thought this was a great trade to illustrate one of the truths of the trade chart, because
if you go and put these names into the trade chart, because if you go and put
these names into the trade chart, you'll see Jameson and the picks are worth
about 58 points lad and Marvin Harrison are worth about 52 points.
You think, man, I got to do that deal.
That's a four for two trade.
But I always say is if it's a, if you're getting one more player than the other
team and you're giving up the best player, you need a 10% premium. In this case, you're getting two more players, three picks, one player
for two players. So it's a four for two. I would want a 20% premium on that type of deal. And
you're probably giving up the two best players in the deal as well. So to give up that type of value, I would need even more. Mitchell says the person has 105 as well.
If you took away, if like, I'm not,
I don't think moving from 107 to 105 in that deal is enough,
but if you could get 103, 105 and 107
as long with Jameson Williams for those two wide receivers,
then I'd probably do it.
I think one of the risks when you get caught in that stalled rebuild is just
say, okay, I'm going to push it back another year.
I'm going to push it back another year.
And you just keep acquiring picks, but you never feel like, yeah, I'm ready now.
Um, so I'd be hesitant.
I think there's a chance that Marvin Harrison takes a leap in year two.
Lad McConkey stays the number one wide receiver for Justin Herbert.
And all of a sudden you're looking at this team as having two top 12 wide receivers for redraft purposes and maybe two top eight in dynasty. And then you're
not that far from contending. We had a couple of questions about Anthony Richardson in Superflex leagues. And I understand
the reason for those questions. One of the most volatile assets in all of dynasty
Super Flex fantasy football. Mike has Burrow, JJ McCarthy, and Richardson. The Daniel Jones owner wants to trade
211 this year or late 2026 first for Richardson. Mike's a contender, but needs some running backs.
Wants to know whether to accept that trade. Curtis, on the other hand,
says, is trading Anthony Richardson for less than a first worth it, or just
hold and hope that he rises during camp?
This is more of a personal risk question than it is one that I can answer for you guys.
The way that I play dynasty fantasy football and super flex leagues, there's no way I'm giving
up Anthony Richardson for less than a first. Would I take a 2026 first for like, as Mike is saying
here, I probably won't. If I think I'm a contender, I would like to have Burrow McCarthy and Richardson
going into next year. If I was going to trade Richardson as a contender, I'd be
looking maybe to get one of the more low upside vets as opposed to trading him
for a 20, 26 first and Curtis no, I personally would not give Richardson up
for less than a first.
I think I'd rather like take that chance and see it not work out than take a
second round pick and take the chances that Anthony Richardson over the summer gets a little bit
better as a passer. I don't think it would take a lot, a little bit better as a passer and all of
a sudden is averaging 25 fantasy points per game. I see some questions already accumulating in the
chat. We will get to those questions a little bit later in the show. So
keep putting those in there. And after we get through the emails, after we get through the tweets, after we get
through some questions from Blue Sky, we will answer your chat questions as well. Let's move to the top tweets.
Nathan asks, Where are you ranking T. Higgins? We've had this mystery around T Higgins.
Is he's going to be the number two in Cincinnati?
Is he going to get a chance to go be the number one
somewhere else?
Well, he'd signed his four year deal in my most recent updated
dynasty wide receiver rankings, which again, will publish today
over at CBSsports.com.
T Higgins is my wide receiver 15 right behind Drake London,
AJ Brown and Jordan Addison right ahead of Rashi Rice, Roma Dunze and Xavier
Worthy.
I think that there's obviously a lot of room to maneuver within that range.
And if you are a contender, maybe you'd rather have Higgins than Addison.
I view them kind of similarly other than Higgins has his quarterback locked up,
but Addison is three years younger.
Um, and then you could see Rice or Worthy, either one fall out of the top 20
because of suspension or move ahead of Higgins because they become the true
number one for Patrick Mahomes and fully deliver on their potential.
But right in that wide receiver 15 range, he's probably the best number two
wide receiver in the NFL and maybe the best number two wide receiver on
his own team in dynasty Ryan tweeted.
He has Jalen hurts and Bryce young has a team that's ready to compete.
He has the one Oh two.
Would you draft cam ward or draft someone else?
I'm pretty much at the point in super flex.
If I have the second pick where I'm just going to wait and see if the guy with one
Oh one takes Gentie or takes ward, and I'm probably going to take the other one.
Having hurts and young is a, is a, that's, I think that's a decent one too, but I
would definitely want a bet, a good number three.
And I think ward could be a good number three that if he hits his upside, could actually
pass Young, become your number two.
And then you've got a great one, two, three at quarterback.
So yeah, draft Ward, if for some reason the 101 takes Ward, then go get Gentie.
Matt says, how many of these rookie running backs are going to be solid dynasty running
backs for the next
three years? I would say I feel really confident in Ashton Gentry. I feel really confident in
Amariah Hampton. I feel really confident in Trevion Henderson. That's three. There's three
more guys that maybe we get one or two of them. And then I think you get one or two from the rest of the class. So I wouldn't be surprised if we have five or six consistent RB2s or better from this draft class.
When you look at my running back rankings that just updated on the site yesterday,
you're going to see someone like Najee Harris at RB25. I would expect after the NFL draft happens
that he's going to be RB 30 because
fi at best he might be worse if the Chargers draft or running back too, but
you're going to see at least five backs from this class that are ranked in the
top 25 of my dynasty running back rankings.
At least that is my expectation.
Joey asks, how many players would you take over the 101?
That's astringenti in my mind.
And so if you look at the trade chart over on sports line in Superflex, there are eight,
17 players that are listed above 101.
Jameer Gibbs is directly in front of him.
Caleb Williams, Amun Ra St. Bound.
There's one tight end in Brock Bowers.
I think there's six wide receivers.
Let's see, Brian Thomas, Pooka Nakua, CD Lamb, Malik
Neighbors, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and then the rest
are quarterbacks.
In one QB leagues, the 2025-101 I would value at pick 11.
Right behind again, Bowers, St. Brown and Gibbs.
So it's a top 12 pick in a one QB league.
It's a mid second and a super flex startup.
We had a pair of AJ Brown questions, one from Twitter, one from blue sky, the Twitter from
the playmakers.
Would you tear down from AJ Brown for say DJ Moore and a second round pick if you could get it done?
Possibly they're similar in production for 2025. Maybe you believe that Ben Johnson takes DJ Moore into the ARSB role
so if you look at my
Dynasty wide receiver rankings, there's a decent size gap
Between Brown who's my wide receiver 13 and more
who is my wide receiver 24.
Looking at the trade chart here, again, it's quite, I think that you have to expect that
the average output next year is still significantly better for Brown.
I've got him worth 23 points on the super flex trade chart. More is worth
16, seven, a value of seven is probably what you're looking at for pick 201, 202, 203.
So I guess the answer is yeah, if you were getting one of the first three picks in a
super flex league in the 2025 draft, then I'd be okay with downgrading from more from Brown to more.
I had a question also on blue skies, a time to trade AJ Brown. What can I get for him?
I put the question out on social media this week and I heard people saying 105 was about how they valued AJ Brown in my trade shot, he's actually worth 103 or 104. So if you could get that good of a pick, it's time to move on from AJ Brown.
If you're moving into a rebuild, he will be 28 at the start of the season.
He's probably got three years left of elite production, maybe two years
left of elite production, possibly four.
Um, but that's not the type of thing or player I want to
be holding if I'm moving towards a rebuild. I would rather go ahead and get younger at
that position if I can. I think I read some of the younger wide receivers that I have
in that range that if you just want to get younger, maybe it's a Jordan Addison who's
five years younger, maybe it's a Drake London who's five years younger. Maybe it's a Drake London who's four years younger.
You might have to add something to Brown to get London.
But yeah, if you're in the middle of like a title chase, if you're contending
year after year, I don't think it's time to get rid of Brown.
I think you look at what Tyree Kill, Devante Adams, Cooper Cup, Mike Evans,
those guys did from age 28 to 30.
And you want to leave that guy on your roster
if you're trying to win a championship right now.
Let's take our first break.
We've got some more questions from social media,

Um, I, man, I was looking at my bracket today.
I keep coming up with two teams that I really am not huge fans of in the
championship, sorry, Thomas, one of them is yours, but yeah, it's, uh, bracket today, I keep coming up with two teams that I really am not huge fans of in the championship.
Sorry, Thomas, one of them is yours, but yeah, it's, uh, it's going to be
an exciting tournament looking forward to it.
Let's get back to the questions.
We had a few in from blue sky.
Steve says, wondering where you're at on three receivers who all had down years
last year, Chris Olavi, Jalen Waddle, and Garrett Wilson. If you had the
111 and needed a receiver, who would you target out of this group? Or is there
someone else you would use the pick on? First thing I would say is if I had the
111 and I could get any of those three guys, I would really be happy to do it.
As of right now, I have Garrett Wilson at wide
receiver 20 in the most recent dynasty rankings, Olavi wide receiver 23, Waddle wide receiver
25. Waddle is slightly older than the other two. He'll be 26 at the start of the year.
I mostly view all three of these guys as guys that should be number two wide receivers. Um, maybe it's a low end variety.
I don't love the Justin field signing for Garrett Wilson, but it's kind of a
mixed bag because yeah, there's going to be fewer pass attempts.
The accuracy is probably not going to be great, but they are former college
teammates and fields did deliver a great season for DJ Moore, maybe just
throws 150 passes to Garrett Wilson.
And Wilson's a top 12 wide receiver.
Any of those three guys I'd be thrilled to give one 11 for.
I don't think you're probably going to be able to get that done.
Uh, Waddle, who is my lowest ranked.
I actually have ranked closer to one Oh six or one Oh seven in a super flex league.
So the great buys coming off of down years still think they're very talented.
Maybe a little more quarterback concern for Wilson and Olave than for Waddle,
but Waddle has the competition with Tyree Kill.
Second question from JB as a rebuilding team in a standard PPR league.
So standard PPR, I think that means not super flex.
Would you trade 201 for Rushy Rice?
If not any young wide receivers, you try to target with it.
Um, yes, very quickly, JB go again, 111 201.
I'd probably trade those picks for any wide receiver in my top 30.
If you need a wide receiver, definitely look for a team that's
looking for running backs, try to trade them one of those late firsts or one of the first picks in round two, and
go get you a wide receiver. It's a great opportunity to kind of make that move. One of the questions I had that didn't
make the mailbag, this makes me think of it, is like, how do you combat the narrative that this is a weak class?
the mailbag, this makes me think of it. It's like, how do you combat the narrative that this is a weak class? Because a lot of dynasty managers have been trained that rookie drafts,
especially the first round in super flex league should all be about quarterbacks and wide
receivers. So they don't see a lot of great quarterbacks and wide receivers in this draft
and they think, Oh, it's a bad year. Well, you're just talking to the wrong people. You need to go find managers who are looking for
or who value running backs and tight ends.
And that's how you get a premium on this year's draft picks
if you're trying to trade them
because it's a great running back class.
It's a very good tight end class.
You just have to sell it that way.
If you're talking to somebody who needs quarterback
or wide receiver help,
you're probably not gonna have much luck selling your picks this year.
Leaf wants a Trey McBride value check. He says, is he worth the 106 in Superflex? I'm
getting a lot of offers for him, but having a hard time trading him away, giving the lack
of difference makers at the tight end position. I agree with you 100%.
I would not be making that move.
I view Trey McBride, even in a super flex league as being worth the 103
in this year's draft class.
That's partly a product of there not being a lot of great quarterbacks
at the top of the class, but I don't think there's a player in this class.
I would rather have on my dynasty roster than Trey McBride, except
for Ashton Gentry and Cam Ward.
Maybe the NFL draft changes that, but I don't think he'd be as low as 106.
Um, so I would not be taking that deal.
I'd be holding onto McBride.
I think he and Bowers are the two certain difference makers over the next five years.
Hopefully La Porta has a rebound year and we feel the same way about him going into 2026.
One more question from Prong third year guys, are we holding or taking our
best offer for Dalton Kincade, Quentin Johnston, Taijay Spears, and Bryce Young?
These always depend on what is that best offer, right?
If there's still a Dalton concave believer in your league,
then I'm taking the best offer.
And I would say that about really any of these guys,
except for Bryce Young, what he showed me in the second half
in a super flex league, I'd really like to hold on to him
because if he continues what he did late in the year
or even takes another step forward,
Bryce Young right now is my QB 23. He continues what he did late in the year or even takes another step forward.
Bryce young right now is my QB 23.
I could see him rising as high as QB 14, like four to six weeks into the season. So I'd like to hold onto Bryce young.
I don't think you are getting much for Quinton Johnston or Taijay Spears.
So I could probably a third round rookie pick unless somebody's offering
you a second for one of those guys.
I'm probably holding them as well.
I would be shopping Dalton Kincaid.
I don't know.
A lot of times the guy who believed in him in the first place already
has them on their roster.
That may be you.
Uh, but if there is somebody else in the league that thinks, you know what,
this is the year Kincaid was hurt last year, it's young tight ends are often bad.
He's going to break out in year three.
If you can get somebody that believes in him like that, maybe give you a top
15 pick in a rookie draft, then I would be dealing Dalton can K.
Now I say top 15 that's assuming that it's not tight end premium and a
tight end premium league.
He is absolutely still worth.
A first round pick.
You guys are filling up the chat with questions and I absolutely love that.
Let's get to a few of them.
Hans says, what is Pickens and Pittman's value?
Should I hold them or sell for whatever value I can right now?
I, I'd like to take a drink right now and hopefully we get some clarity on where
George Pickens is going to play next year.
In all seriousness, I could see George Pickens dealt in the next month to a
really good situation and his value rebounds.
If he goes into next year with one of these veteran quarterbacks that are left,
that I don't think a whole lot of and
DK Metcalf sharing time with him, then Pickens value is only going to go down.
Right now he's my wide receiver 26 in dynasty.
He is actually a couple of spots ahead of DK because I think they're kind of the same
guy and Pickens is three years younger.
But if I could get a first for Pickens, I would take it.
I don't think you probably can right now
due to the uncertainty.
So I'm probably holding him.
Michael Pittman is my wide receiver 42.
I am not particularly excited about him.
You like the situation when Joe Flacco is the backup
and that way if Anthony Richardson gets benched,
yay, we've got a quarterback who will feed wide receivers. Now the answer way if Anthony Richardson gets benched, yay, we've got a quarterback who will feed wide receivers.
Now the answer is if Anthony Richardson gets benched, you're dealing with Daniel Jones.
I'm not sure how much better that's going to be for Michael Pittman.
I'd be happy to take a second round pick for him.
I'd feel pretty good about it.
Britt says Tyreek and Ramandre for the 103 in a 1QB league.
I would be getting the 103. I think that's appropriate
value without doing the math in the trade chart. The difficult part of that equation is, are you
trying to win right now? Because if you are, I don't think the 103 is likely to help you as much as Tyreek and Ramandre are, but value wise, it's a fit.
So how intent are you on being a team that's competing for a title this year?
If you're not at all, it's a great trade.
Go do it.
If you're selling out to win, it's not the right move.
Mighty Bush says, Iuk, what's he worth? Worth holding onto if you're not an obvious contender.
Probably another guy who is value is probably closer to the floor than it is to the ceiling right now.
I wouldn't want to hold on too long because the problem is like we were talking about these 28 year old wide receivers as if you're not contending,
it's probably time to move off of them.
Well, Ayuk's 27 and we don't know how long it's going to take into this 2025 season before
he's a full-time contender.
So if we get to the middle of the season and he's not looked like himself, that value is
really going to go into the tank.
We got a few more questions showing up in the chat
and I'll just pick out a few here.
Again, thank you guys.
We will try to do this once a month.
Probably won't have a one-man mailbag in April
just because we're gonna have so much draft content.
We'll definitely get back to it at the end of May.
Maybe I'll write a mailbag article early in April.
David says, I give Marvin Harrison Jr. and Josh Jacobs
for the 111 and JSN.
That's a really interesting trade.
I have JSN and Marvin Harrison Jr. back to back
in my wide receiver rankings.
Currently have JSN one spot higher,
have zero confidence in that.
So basically I would say call those two a push.
How do you feel about sending Josh Jacobs for the 111?
I don't feel great about it.
I think I'd rather have JSN,
or I'd rather have Harrison and Jacobs
than I would 111 and JSN.
I'd call it a C minus,
but I could definitely see ways that it could work out.
Raph says, what would you do if you had Taylor and Cook, I assume Jonathan Taylor and James Cook,
as your RB three and four? What would you try to get for one of them in a 10 team, one QB PPR league?
Man, I would say first off, like I'm looking at my running back rankings and
Jonathan Taylor's RB six and James Cook's RV 11.
And so if that's your RV three and your RV four, you're doing a fantastic job.
Raph, can you start them?
How many flexes are you allowed to use in this league?
If I could start all four, like two running backs better than those guys.
And those two guys at my flexes. I don't know that I need to move off of them.
If I had trade one right now, I think it would be Jonathan Taylor.
And I listen, I I've talked about this a lot.
It seems like maybe I'm a little lower on the value of some of these picks,
particularly in a super flex league.
But I, if I'm trading Jonathan Taylor, I I'd like to get a top five rookie
pick and see if you can get that done.
Listen, if somebody's thinking they're going to add a running back, then maybe
that doesn't work out very well.
Cause they just want to draft one of these rookies.
So if you're looking for a wide receiver to trade Taylor for it'd be somebody
in that T Higgins, Rushie Rice, Roma Dunze Xavier worthy range.
If you wanted to trade them for a quarterback in a one QB league, I'd be happy to give up
Taylor for either Lamar or Josh Allen.
So somewhere in that range.
See if we can get two or three more questions before we get out of here.
Let's call it, let's call it two.
We've got a, uh,
MV prof. How are you doing? Good to have you back. Thank you. Judy waddle DK or JMo. I
still like waddle the best. JMo is not far behind, but yeah, that's, that's a good group
of wide receivers, high end wide receiver threes in dynasty. And who knows if Judy gets a QB, he might become the guy we got a two, a question,
which is good because somebody in our baked burger dynasty league has been
trying to trade me to a for Drake may, you know who you are, Tim.
And we haven't been able to get that deal done, but he has two as his
third QB in a super flex dynasty league.
Is it smart to try to trade him for a more questionable quarterback, such as Darnold or someone similar?
I don't know.
Again, it's almost like the Anthony Richard situation, not quite as much
upside and two is not going to lose his job because of play, but I do value
to a slightly higher than I do Sam Darnold.
If I was trading to a, maybe it would be for a quarterback that's older, like a
golf or a Baker Mayfield or a Dak Prescott, or maybe you try to sell to a, and
something or to try to see if you, the person who has Justin Fields is trying
to capitalize and get fields and something forua. Both guys have kind of uncertain futures, but I've basically viewed Tua as a dynasty
QB too, that if he stays healthy and plays 17 games with Tyreek and Waddle, could give
you a top 12 QB season any given year, but we know the risks, right?
Right in the same range as a JJ McCarthy, a Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, and then Darnold's right behind those guys. So as a third QB, I'm okay
with that. Maybe you try to use him in your second QB to go get a truly elite
quarterback for a team that I didn't skip your question, Dwight, I apologize,
but try to target one of those teams that has one really good quarterback, but
doesn't have enough depth at the position. I was trying to scroll through here and see if I could find Dwight's question.
There it is. Let's do it real quick. Would you trade Devon Aitchin for JSN? Last question
of the show. Aitchin is worth 34.3 on my most recent trade chart. JSN 30.8. That's close
enough for me that if you were strong at running back, weak
at wide receiver, or if you were just moving into more of a rebuilding period and wanted
to have the wide receiver and not the running back, that makes sense. In a bubble, I slightly
prefer HN, but yeah, the deal is close enough that if you're trying to add wide receivers
or trying to move off of a running back, I kind of like it Dwight. It'd be okay.
Probably give you a C plus depending on the context of your team.
That is going to do it for our March one man mailbag show again.
