Again, like the stream as well. That's a big way to win this one. Andrew Erickson, there's lots of trade questions flowing in very quickly here to the program. So let's jump in with two feet with Messer Grimm, traded Walker, and Johnston for Brees Hall. How did Messer do? I think that it's a high-risk, high-reward type of deal. Seems like Walker's kind of stuck in a committee,

so there's nothing really to change there. Johnson, a lot of target competition, dealing with that injury coming back. Brice plays on the Jets, but maybe not next week he plays on the Jets. So he plays the Bengals this week, so it's a good matchup. So, yeah, I think it's a high-risk, high-reward type of deal. Messer sent me to this one in Detser. Discord of fancybrose.com slash chat.

And I told him I don't like any of this trade. I don't want, I like any of these players going anywhere. I don't like it. Find something else. Next one from Coke butter cheese trades Scadaboo, Devontas Smith for Cook and Waddle. Cook and Waddle, Scataboo, Smith. I think I prefer the cook and Waddle side.

Okay. Not worry about the Waddle health at all. Is he on the injury report this week? I know he got banged at the end of last week. I mean, he's always dealing with something. Fair enough. All right. He sometimes got to deal with Tua, too, more than anything.

Ted and Bowers for Odunze and Pcheco, PPR. I already have Kraft. Yeah, I like that deal. Everybody wants a doonese is like, nobody wants a dunze right now. We took so many Dunzee questions yesterday. Was he on your podcast yesterday? I was a buy, yes. Yeah, okay, excellent.

So everybody else is trying to sell them off. He has one bad game. man. Jeez, people are just relentless. I saw him get spite dropped in a league. Somebody told me they sent me the thing. I couldn't believe. Yeah, I told Debrough yesterday.

I was like, who dropped Roma Dunez? That's insane. Because they said, how much fab do I spend? I was like, all of it? Like, I don't know what to say. That's not. Danny Boy, PPR, we are Puka, Chase, JSN, Ted's pretty good right there. We get RB, though.

Should I trade Tet for Gentie? I'm good with that. It's going to hurt you this week because you got Puka and JSN on a buy, so you got to have a plan for it. But I'm okay with that trade in. theory. How about you? Yes. Also, okay, with that trade. Also, Flex, Jennings are golden this week. Jennings is really, really tough to trust because, again, we don't know who's playing wide receiver for the 49ers. You don't know who's quarterbacking. I mean, right now,

I'm going to just play Golden because I know he's playing the Steelers and Jordan loves his quarterback. So if it's purdy, I would play Jennings, but it's early yet. Ty Kimmins, I'm four and three in RB. Hell. Who can I trade for starting RB? I have May, Camara, Monongai, Harvey, Nico, Lad, T-MAC, Rice, Shaheed, and Bowers. All right, so, R.B. Hell. Well, Camara's going to get the full workload. We know that. Would Nico be the guy to deal now that Rushie Rice is back?

The problem is he's hurt. That makes that a challenge right now. I think you probably want to trade either TMAC or Lad. I mean, unless you want to trade Rice for a Jonathan Taylor-S type of player, like a top-tier running back, that's the move that you could try to make. But if you're trying to spend a little bit less, T-MAC would probably be the guy that I would look to D. I mean, I'd like to trade away Camara for a better running back,

personally. I don't think he's going to get every single touch in that backfield. So, I mean, he still has value. It's not because he's going to get zero points. Yeah, but if you're hurting an R-B and trading Camara is tough because then you got, you kind of right back where you were. You want to move Camara to the second spot. I don't think Rice is going to get to Jonathan Taylor.

I wouldn't trade Rice. I would trade T-Mack or Nico, maybe just off name brand recognition despite the injury, maybe you can get somebody to bite on that, especially a team that's got a good record. Jessica, sorry, I have another one. Smith or Menangai in my flex, thank you so much. Menangai for me.

Okay. Next, his Cali kid, full PPR, need one to start this week, Gadsden or Aten. I'm starting Gadsden tomorrow night. I think I'm going on. By the way, the Gadsden number is 43 and a half already for his receiving yards.

So Vegas thinks he's going to be part of that wide receiver group, basically. I mean, he might be a tight end of name, but I think he's more of a wide receiver in terms of of play. I was offered a trade Mahomesworthy for May and Egbuka. I have AJQJ, all the Js, Sutton and Garrett Wilson. You want the Mahomes worthy side or the May Igbuka side? I want the Mayegbuka side.

I agree. Yeah, let's go. Appreciate you, Zach. Next one up here is Alejandro. Hi, pros, PPR 3 and 4. Please evaluate this roster or this trade, I should say. ACM and JMO for Chase Brown and Brian Robinson. Do they have McCaffrey?

Is that CMC, most of the CMC right now? I assume it's not CMS. That sounds like something you learn when you're like doing CPR training or something. It's like a certification you get. Alejandro, I don't know how you've gone seven weeks of seeing McCaffrey and now you're just deciding to try to trade for Brian Robinson. Get him on your roster now because he's on touch for 7,000 touches this year. So get along your team.

It's a lot of touches. Zach S. wide receivers are puka amon ronico brian thomas olave rbis are the following here trade olive for chase brown at n or bryce hall so who would you want back if you were trading olive would you rather trade brian thomas also just out of curiosity i would too i'd brian thomas i don't know i mean i don't know if anyone wants him now because he's on a bi week he's injured at least olive i mean he's producing something but this person needs running back help i mean hampton's injured and then Harvey's their next best guy, Pollard.

They've had both Titans running backs, which means they have no running backs. So that's problematic. It's either Chase or Breece for me. I mean, Chase Brown was my buy this week on the show. I think he has a great schedule rest of season. They're facing the Jets this week. And we're seeing, I mean, everyone else has seen the uptick, really, with a ton of fanning's production.

Chase Brown obviously was good against the Steelers, but I think that he still has room to grow here. So I think Chase Brown would be the target for me. I agree on the target being Chase Brown. I'd like to see if you can move Brian Thomas for it. If you can get Brian Thomas or ATN, they're both on buys. That would be interesting. But a lobby for Chase Brown, I think, would work as well.

But again, it puts a lot of pressure on the rest of those guys to start performing and be healthy. J. Romo, Bowers and Jennings for my Nico. Is that enough? And then what about Bowers and McCloren instead? Well, Bowers and McLaren for Nico would be much better, especially McClorin's back at practice. Yeah, he's practicing this week. I would far like that one. Bowers?

So what side are they getting here? Are they getting the Bowers and Jennings side? my tight ends are Ertz and Gadsden. Wide receivers are Puka, Pearsall, Myers, Coker, Tess. It is tricky to see here. Well, for my Nico, say to be getting Bowers. I mean, I don't know if you need to get the tight end, but if you can get McLaren along with that,

I think I'm good with that. Like, Nico's hurt. Texans have been kind of a bit of an enigma this year. McLaren has been hurt all year, but again, practicing expects to play this week. Unfortunately, it's going to be with Mariotta, but the hope is Jane Daniels comes back in a week or so. So I think I take this deal.

I think Bowers and McClorn, you know, for Nico is a pretty good haul. Yeah, I agree. I don't like the Bowers and Jennings one, though. Would you agree on that? Yeah, I agree. Okay. Awesome Dev. KW3 for Chase Brown. Fair? Yeah, I think it's fair. I want Chase Brown.

I think Kraft or Gadsden. Craft. Okay. Next up here is, for anyway, Ferguson, Devontas Smith, Camara, and Bam Knight for Cedie Lamb and King Cave. Ah, the classic, here's a pile of stuff for a really great player. Was this a good move? Yes. Yes, it was because you got CD Lamb.

That's an easy one, Duncan. You got to love those two. Here's a bunch of, here's my bench for your best player. Love you too. Flacco for this week. Thanks, Jessica. I appreciate you. For this week, Flacko or Love?

I'm going with Jordan Love. Ah, really? Interesting. I'm going with Joe Flacco. I'm going to go against the defense that got destroyed by Joe Flacco last week. Fair. Fair. I will instead take the Joe Flacco with Jbar Chason T. Higgins in that game.

against the Jets who have all but quit on football and life pretty much as well let's go to m john should i trade brees hall and kyle pitts for derrick henry yes or hall and flowers if you can trade kyle pitts to get something back in return of value you got to do that so yes it's had a good game on monday night you think he's going to string two good games back to back i was like pitts hasn't been a zero this year i think you're being tough on pitts a little bit just saying I think so. I mean, he's, you want Gadsden or pits this week? Well, look, if you already have Bowers and Gadsden, then you don't need pits.

Exactly. That's what I mean. Who pits? He's not a needle mover. I mean, Zayflowers is like a legitimate. I'd rather have Zayflowers. Sure. Yeah.

I agree. I agree. First part of that deal. My dogs trade Barclay for Cook, Jacobs, or Henry. All the above. I would trade all of them. For Javante. Wow.

Wow. I mean, you wouldn't? I'm not saying I wouldn't, but I'm just, I'm just saying, wow. I mean, that's where we are right now. He used all his explosive runs last year and there's none left. He did. He's 22nd in rushing right now. That's not great.

Is there a favorite, though, of those three that they listed off between Henry? I mean, look, I like all of them. I always want Derek Henry now that Lamar Jackson's back. So I would go back to the Derek Henry well. I think, I mean, for me, Jacobs is my highest drink guy. The rest of season. He already had his bye week, too, so did Derek. Actually, all three already had their buy.

I mean, I mean, if you can do the trade, it's fantastic all around. 49er trade Chase Brown, Hunter, marks for Sequin Barkley and Washington. I mean, look, this is the kind of deal that I would take Seekuaan Berkeley. I would because there's still that hope that things figure out. Like, he's still upright. Like, the fact that he hasn't injured, that is the biggest thing without injury was my biggest concern of his. But it hasn't been good.

The offensive line has not blocked the way it did last year for him. traded Bucky for Rome and Bill needed a wide receiver too. What are your thoughts? I think it's pretty good. So Rome is just back to wide receiver too. Yeah, I like this deal. Good job, especially trading injured player, right? Yeah.

Rome is persona non grata after last week. It's crazy. Vinny is two and five got offered JJ for my JSN. It's hard to trade JSN right now. He's just having one of those seasons, I think, where he's just special. year for jsn i think this is the year you want to keep them on your roster so what if it was j j j n swift would that move for jsn work for you where that's not enough where else this is running back situation the other running back situation gentie a tn chuba riko so yeah i think that would be enough

to to make the move if jj and jsn it's not lateral rather have jsn but jjs obviously no slouch and then you get a starting running back with swift who has a couple of good matchups coming up I think that would be enough. That's a good, good trade. Ghostly in the 10-team PPR. After trades, roster is Barclay, Jacobs, Adunzei, Rice, Lamb, Pitbin, BTJ, McBride. What a good roster we've got here. There we go.

Running back is light behind Barclay and Jacobs. No, that's not light. That's one of the best running back duo you could possibly have in fantasy. No, don't trade for another running back. Ghostly, sometimes you just got to play fantasy football. They do have BTJ. So are we like co-sounding on this trade BTJ for Chase Brown? Is that like a trade that because I'm going to do that after the show.

Oh, wait a minute. I just got something in my inbox, Ranjo Erickson. What is this? Oh, geez, I didn't see that coming. Let's go to TOTUS McGotis here as we just got news that Michael Pennix will be limited in practice today. And also just letting everybody know, Lamar Jackson was back at practice today. Yay! Lamar Jackson.

All right, worried about Kittle and the streaming tight end moving forward. So I guess the question, is we're looking to set his lineup already. Two running backs and one flex, one defense. So Henry is in. Vidal I would play this week with the full backfield, yes? Yes, and then Breece Hall against the Bengals. Okay, and then you want the Philly defense against the Giants or Tampa against New Orleans

or Kansas City against Washington. I think Kansas City at home against Washington is the most appealing, to be honest. Yeah, I think that's probably the safest one. I think that the Tampa Bay Bucks are kind of interesting against Rattler, but they are playing on the road. So I think Chiefs at home is just the safest bet. Okay. I'm not worried about Kittal yet.

It's one game. Let's not freak out. Well, you know what this weekend is, right? What's this weekend, Andrew? It's National Tide End Day. You don't think George Kiddell is going to go nuclear on National Tideende? I think he is. Yeah, basically.

All right, let's go to Tof's third eye. Six and one, any trade targets for this team, start eight. They have Lamar, they have May, Judkin Scatabu, White, Henderson, Benson, Lamb, JSN, Rice, and London. It's a good team. Look, you're six and one with a good team. Benson is the one piece that I think has more theoretical value than actual value. If you could turn him into something that you could play these, like, if you could get Rico

Dowdell for Benson right now, I would do that in a second, that kind of a trade. What are you thinking about? I think that you could trade Lamar Jackson for the best positional player you could find. He is coming back from a hamstring injury. which, again, I'm not trying to risk. I mean, there's a re-injury risk with him. And you already have Drake May. So you don't need both quarterbacks.

And if Lamar has his value back, he's back at practice and he should be playing this week, I think you can get the full price of Lamar Jackson for the best running back for the best running back or wide receiver that you can get in a deal. So that's probably what I would try to do or package Lamarwick with, again, like a Benson to get up to a top tier running back. All right. Next up here, we have Mr. Marowitz's question.

sell Addison or Pearsall for an RB2. Either. Either makes sense. Okay. And is it worth picking up Benson off the waiver wire? I think it's worth picking them up if you get stashed, I'm sure. Yeah, I think so. And then you like Herbert on Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings or Baker on the road against New Orleans.

I think Baker for me. Baker, it is. Tess Johnson and Megakibuka. It's fine. Everything's going to be fine. The Lions had a good game plan. They did a good job. Give the Lions some credit. Harmon, three and four. This is the team we have out here. So I guess we have one tight end, a wide receiver and a flex between this group.

I'd like to play Gadsden at tight end from this grouping here between him and Mason Taylor. Do you co-sign on that? I saw the Bengals give up four touchdowns to three different tight ends. I did. I've also seen Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor play quarterback. So, I'm not everything. Taro is getting all the reps this week. Although Justin feels says that he's getting reps.

No, he's not getting all of them. I know, but he's not getting all the reps either. He's splitting the reps. I don't know. Like, you're not wrong. Cincinnati is the worst in creation against tight ends. But if you can't throw the football, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

I'm going to play Mason Taylor. All right. So we're in disagreement about that. Sorry. All right. So wide receiver and a flex between the rest of these guys. You got Mooney. You got Golden.

You got Spears, Manangai, Bresard Smith, and Coker. I like Golden and probably just Mooney. Just play some upside wide receiver threes. I think is a good moving in good math. matchups, Dolphins, Cowboys, bad secondaries. So I like those receivers with some upside. All right. Next up here, we've got King Fan, a realistic wide receiver target is for Swift and Ramandre.

Well, apparently you can get Roma Dunzee for these guys. So I would shoot for the moon with Roma Dunzee, number one. Diggs, maybe he's another guy you could try to go after. I think Swift or Diggs would probably get done. Swift's been productive the last couple of weeks. Ted McMillan after a down week, too, is interesting. I think a lot of people are sour on him. for the sauce game, you know, but Zay Flowers has been quiet because of the injuries to Lamar.

That's another interesting one, too. I think that's the Ranger looking at for those guys. And then, uh, yeah, that'll, that'll hopefully do it. Get rid of Ramandre. Uh, trade, Dak, Camara, or for Swift. Allen is by QB. So you already have Allen. So he passes by.

You have Dak Prescott. Here's a question. I think I'd rather keep Dak and see if Josh Allen brings you back something better than Swift. Like, Dak and Camara for Swift. just seems like a, I mean, it feels like you're giving away DAC for nothing. It does.

And I hate that. I'd much rather move Josh Allen for, you know, Josh Jacobs. I don't know if you could pull that off necessarily, but something in that range, at least would be far more exciting. I don't know.

I don't love this deal. Swift is not like bulletproof for me. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you were getting Derek, can you get Derek Henry for Josh Allen and just keep Dak? Yeah. Yeah.

I think that would be better. I think this person, I agree that, I think Camara is a good sell high candidate. I don't know if this is the best method to try to capitalize on selling him high. I like the idea. Likeo Swift, yo, I have May, Camara, Mason, Dowdell, Bucky, Vidal. It's got a good roster here.

Trade targets, ideas to improve, especially at RB. So right now at RB, they've got Camara, Mason, Dowdell, Bucky, and Vidal. So you hope that Bucky comes back and solve some of these issues for you in a couple weeks, but you're still a couple weeks away from that. You have, I assume is Chase, like Jamar, Chase, not Chase Brown, the way we put it here. So you have Jamar Chase, you have Pickens, you have London, Egbuka, you have a really good grouping year. Terri McClorans, hopefully getting healthy. Now, you don't need Terri McClorin. So if you want to trade pickens now that Lam is back and slide McLaren into that mix, I think that's an interesting trade chip. Maybe you can

put him and Camara to move up at running back because you get a James Cook for him. Maybe. I think that's kind of what we're looking for. And once you have Kraft and Goddard, like I don't know, I'm dropping Goddard, never playing them over Kraft, and Kraft has already passes by. Can you trade Jamar Chase for Mijon Robinson? You can.

But, man, that's a, that's a weighty deal. I don't know. You don't want the Bijon side? Not that I don't want the Bijon side. I just don't know if that ends up giving you, I just think that's, I mean, it leaves you a Pickens, London, Nabucca, and Terry McClor.

It's not bad. It's not bad. I just think it's in terms of if they really want to upgrade running back, then you would take Chase after he had 20 billion targets on a primetime game and buy low on Bijon after he had a stinker. And he's facing the dolphins this week. Well, yeah. I mean, I've already bet that over is 83 and a half. How is it only that? What?

I have no idea. I know, bet it now. Bet it now. That's nuts. It's 83 and a half. The Judkins number was larger than that. Put that with any time first half touchdown. Do it.

You get into the plus money there. Start Flacco or Pennix this week? Flacco. That's... I don't think panics might have to play, so yeah. He might not there. Also, everybody, it is now officially 23 minutes after. Let's cut off the superchats for now.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. but this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it

one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say,

hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,

he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the fly. Man, he running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball.

Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jordanano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help! Somebody!

But there's so much more to me than me. I'm an actor. I'm a comedian. And recently, I've become. quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, hope from a hypocrite, I'll be changing lives,

helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions. Sike, I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff rant and recommend some of

the most legally dubious advice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice. One ring is too scary. Oh, cream of chicken. suit. Hey, cream.

Cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from Hypocrite as part of the Mike Cultura podcast network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's get back after the questions, Andrew Erickson. Let's get to the judge here. Do I drop Goddard or Kincaid for Otten? Neither.

Good. Next is James Bond. Ooh, celebrity. Trey George Kittle and Josh. Jacobs for Justin Jefferson. I have Ferguson, CMC, and Williams already. My wide receivers are made with Smith and Metcalf. Man, I don't know.

I feel like Jacobs and Jefferson is fair. So I don't know that you need to add Kittle. I don't know. I don't love this deal. I feel like it's a lot for Jefferson, especially when you're giving up Jacobs. I don't know. I agree.

I agree. If it was Ferguson, would you want to do it instead? No, I just don't think that this is the right way to try to move off one of your tight ends. I like that idea of trading Kittle or Ferguson. in a way. I'm not sure this is the right approach. That's fair. So kid over Jefferson

counter straight up. K-King trade what wide receiver for what R-B or hold? Wide receivers are Chase, London, Rice, Igbuka, Godwin, Pierce, all, Ridley, Coker, need R-Bs. I've got Cook Cook, Henderson, Spears. Yes, you do. All right. So who is the, look, you've already got, forget Godwin, you need to drop Godwin because he's never playing. Chase, London, Rice, Eggbuka is a really good grouping. You could drop Ridley. Pierceall is another guy. I I think Pearsall is the first guy off the island for me. I mean, maybe Pearsall and Henderson. Could that get you something?

Or somebody sitting there going, yeah, I'm going to buy low on these two rookies. I mean, a smart fantasy player, like I would. I'd be tempted by that trade. Look, man, we've sat here many times going, well, this guy's never going to do anything. I mean, I remember Amon Ross St. Brown, people were dropping him as rookie season. And then he went off in the last eight weeks of the year. And it was a league winner. So it's not like it's impossible.

I think that Pearsall and Henderson could be something there to move up. But you have Chase, you have London, you have at Bucca. If you have to move Rice, certainly last week is the week to move them off. Yeah, I think that that's probably the best way to approach it. Hold on to guys like Pierce All or Henderson because they could have second half breakouts and just you have a lot of strong wide receivers. So approach the Derek Henry manager and say, hey, what receiver do you want?

Like, I like them all, but so you can pick which one. And that way I don't feel bad when I give away the guy that does the best because I didn't get to choose. All right, I need a wide receiver 2 slash flex help. Rest of season and a trade, a QB. I have Lamar, May, Bijan, Javante, Rashad, White, Hampton, Vidal, Jetta's worthy, Hunter, Golden, and Ferguson. So 10-team league here, you don't need two quarterbacks. Lamar is back. The buy is over.

Drake May's value is at its highest. Everyone's on a buy. Everyone's hurt. May has some value this week. You have Bijan and Javentay. That's pretty good. You would like to have another depth piece. So I don't want to deal with Jettas.

You do need more help across. the board here. That's the problem. For a 10-team league, this is a little thin of a roster. So, Andrew, how would you fix this? How would you go about fixing this one? Because I don't know after Jettas, there's not enough wide receivers, and after Bijon and Javante, would you cash in Bijon for this team? No, I think that you pointed out that you should probably just move one of the quarterbacks,

right? In the 10-team league, there's someone probably potentially hurting for a quarterback this week. Maybe they're just streaming quarterbacks. But if this person has two quarterbacks, maybe this is a league where a lot of people have multiple quarterbacks on their roster and the waiver wires not nearly as there's not a surplus of signal callers. So I would try to trade one of those elite quarterbacks. I think May is in that elite fantasy territory. Or maybe Lamar. I mean, maybe you can deal Lamar. Maybe the big name of Lamar coming back. If you're winning with May, you can win without Lamar.

And then I would say, I mean, O'Donzee would probably be, I mean, he's better than every other receiver on this roster besides Jefferson. So entertaining. Maybe you just do straight up Lamar Jackson to get O'Donzee or something like along those lines. Those are some approaches I would try to. Would you do May for McLaurin, try to get him on the roster? I would much rather have. I mean, McLaurin has been hurt. I feel like he hasn't played all season.

And Jaydennas is also hurt. So I think I would still hold on to May. You consider JJ and Walker for JSN a throw in a throw in player or just Jay Jetta's stay put with JSN and be ready for next week. Nothing is going to change for Walker. Yeah, unless someone gets heard. It's just not interesting. So yeah.

If you want to move up to JSN, I think that's fine. Metal, trade BTJ and Rashad White for Bucky and McLaren. Yes. It's a risk, but it's a league winning risk. Yeah. Yeah. BTJ for McLaren is an interesting other trade to look at, you know, buying a player that's been underwhelming to a player that really hasn't played.

So I think it's an interesting move. All right. Rod's up next year. What trades would you recommend for this roster? You have to start eight. It's full PBR. Six make the playoffs. Right now, they're just two and five.

Sequin and Brown Hall, Doudal, Aaron Jones returning. Then they've got Romandre and Menang guys. So you've got a lot of running back depth, which is a lot. You should move some of that. You got Pookin Adams on a buy, so you're desperate for wide receivers this week. This is really bad. I would move, look, I would go with the running backs you have now that Jones is back, too, and just piece it together.

Put Sequin out there for a J. Jedas. But you need a guy, like you need a dude at wide receiver. And I wonder if Seekwon can get you Jefferson. Like just, you know, it's fantasy. People see big names. They're willing to make it. That's the kind of move you need to make. You need a big time wide receiver here that's on little on the cheap. And you got to hope that Pook and Adams come back next weekend. If they do, then you're really good shape because they got Puka, Adams, London, Jefferson, something like that. And you can get by it running back with, I think, Hall, Dowdell, and Aaron Jones and even Romantra and Benangai rest of season. That's what I would do. Yeah, I guess I'm concerned about

because they have this massive hole at, I mean, I guess you have London and Diggs. That's, that's a pretty good combination this week. I'm just thinking that they had both Rams. They have, they've had both Rams receivers in the two and five. Like, right.

And now they're going to be two and six because those guys are on a buy. So can you, what if you trade one of them now for someone that can help you this week? You could. That's kind of what my idea was. And I think maybe you just trade, because clearly having both Rams receivers hasn't been helping you. So maybe you need to move off of Puka,

who you can probably get the most back for. and get the most elite option you can get this week. Maybe you just trade him for Derek Henry. Just, hey, I need someone to produce this week. He's got the Bears. Lamar's back. He should smash and you should get a win. All right.

Hey, boys. Should I play Chase Brown, Pacheco, Mason, or Monong guy? PPR also my other league, R.J. Harvey or Monong guy? I play Monong guy for me, too. And then Pickens or Diggs this week? I'm going to play Diggs. And I will say I would, we still don't know if Aaron Jones is playing. So I would play Jordan Mason if Aaron Jones doesn't.

play. Random. Was offered Tett for Jalen Warren. I know you're not a big Jalvanne Rosham. I like. I'm not. Last week went a little bit further to make me feel warm and fuzzy about it. Still not in love. I think it's fair.

I think it's a fair deal of wide receiver running back of equal value. I mean, I like Nicknilla long term just because I, I'd say I still want to buy the rookie receivers. And there is always a chance that the Steelers entertain some of the other running backs on their roster. So, I like that.

I think because you have Bucky, I'm willing to do this. Because hopefully Bucky comes back in a couple weeks and after the vibe, maybe we're there. Awesome Dev, PPR, what can I trade for Chase Brown?

What can you trade for Chase Brown nowadays? Brian Thomas Jr. Apparently, he's the hot ticket item to go get Chase Brown. Based on their team. Well, you're not trading Nico. Wondale's not enough.

Diggs and Sutton, I think, might be too much. So if those, if those are the options here, unless you can move, potentially Wondale and KW3 for Chase Brown. Would you do that? Yeah, I think so you don't think KW3 would get it done straight up for Chase Brown.

I mean, you could try. I don't think so, but you could try. Trade Scatibu for a Lave and Chase Brown. Oh, everybody wants Chase Brown today. People have been watching the shows. Love it. So you want Scatibu or you want a Lave in Brown? No, because anytime I say tradeaway Scataboo, he scores three touchdowns.

So I'm not doing that again. So now keep him. Keep him. keep them. We're in Scataboo season, baby. Spooky season. That's right. Scataboo.

I-O. My Rbies are Rico, Monty, Mason, Charbonnet Henderson, drop Henderson and pick up Tutin or a kicker? I'm three and four. I wouldn't. Well, I mean, if you have to have a kicker,

pick up a kicker. Like, you know, because Tudan's on a buy this week anyway. He's not going to help you. Yeah, so, yeah, Tudon's value's not going to change because he needs. Get a win. So, because, you know, anticipate any injuries happen to the

jag so all right broody's up next just traded breese hall and jordan mason for swift and dbo that's pretty good i like that i think that's pretty good value there i like breese i still like mason a decent amount swift i do not like the bear's playoff schedule it's really really tough so i'm afraid that he might kind of fizzle out kind of like in a classic the andre swift fashion where he's good he's bad for a month good for a month and then bad for another month so i would prepare to maybe flip him again and right now I'm just, I don't know, Debo does this every year, right? Comes out first month, on fire,

and then gets banged up and just is totally useless the rest of the season. So I am concerned about Debo too. Rico Dowdell, and you said that, by the way. Remember draft season, you're like, if you're going to draft him, make sure you trade him six weeks in. So here we are.

11 hippos, Rico Dowdell or Shah White at the flex. Where's the 12th hippo? I'm going to go with Rashad White. All of them are hungry, though. I am H-O-J-G. Sure. 7-0 trying to trade with a 1-6 team

offering Swift and QJ for Amari and Hampton and Garrett Wilson. Is that good for me? Will that be stronger for a playoff run? Hampton, yes. Probably. Garrett Wilson. Probably.

TBD. It's, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know what to think about it. I've been wrong about Garrett Wilson basically every single week ranking him. And when people ask you, what do I do with Garrett Wilson? I'm just thinking, man, I wish I knew. the opposite of what I'm doing.

That's what you said. Jake's up next. Hey, bros need help on the bench. Rico digs, Wondale, Debo, no QB at Chiefs. Also, what to do with BTJ? Just hold and hope? No, I mean, we're not in holding hope. We're in week eight.

We're halfway through here. It's time to start making moves. Trade for Chase Brown. Sure. There you go. I think that's the move to make. You just, just, that's the move. It's just.

And I think the two with Brian Thomas Jr. In the playoffs, he plays the Jets and the Broncos. so even if he does improve at some stretch, if he bombs in week 16 or 17 because of some of these tougher corner matchups, he's just going to kill your fantasy lineup. So you got to move on. All right, this next one,

you're not going to like my answer to this one. Maybe I don't know, we'll see. Tradeaway, J.Jet is for Brise Hall. I need an RB1. No, because you're not getting an RB1 because Breez Hall's not an RB1. Yeah. Sorry, he's RB19 on the year.

11 points per game. It's too much. That's a terrible idea. Bro, don't do that. Vicks Garage, DAC or Bo Nix? I'm going to play Bo Nix this week. Really? I mean, I can never sit, Dak.

He's playing Dallas. This is so bad. I know, but yes, but have you seen the numbers that Dak's putting up on a weekly basis, bro? I mean, this is insane. Yeah, but he's also facing the best defense he's faced all year. At the Broncos. I don't think it matters.

I mean, Dak Prescott is number two in fantasy points per game right now. I mean, Bodex is six, so it's not terrible. Yeah. But I'm going with Dak. The QJ or Michael Pittman this week. I'd play Pittman. Yes, I would also play Pitman. And then Bill or Chase Brown.

There is Chase Brown. This week is Chase Brown. Okay, there you go. Every week is Chase Brown. All right, let's go to Brandon. You're the final judge. Team A needs R.B. receives Hampton and Team B.

A wide receiver, Pearsall. Trade was vetoed by owners. Vitoes are dumb. Stop vetoing trades. It should never be vetoed. This is a perfectly fine trade. Everything about this trade is fine. This is so stupid.

You should tell them, send them this clip of this show. Listen, everyone in Brandon Massey's Fantasy Football League, stop being a moron and vetoing trades. You're ruining fantasy football for yourself and others. Get rid of veto power. Let everybody make trades. If you think people are cheating or colluding, stop playing fantasy football with them.

This is the dumbest thing ever. It should not be vetoed. This is a perfectly fine trade in theory. Andrew Erickson, Do you have anything you like to add? I think that you summed it up quite well. Thank you, sir. I appreciate that.

Aaron's question, which side, Irving and J.C.M or Bowers, Woody, Marks, and Brees, Hall? I like the Bowers and Breece Hall side, although I don't feel very confident about my answer. As you can tell. I feel confident. I like Irving and JCP side. Okay. WaiverWire has been okay for tight end. Gadsden, Theo, Johnson.

you know, Mason Taylor a little bit. Schultz is going to be useful for a couple weeks now. I'm just going to roll. Caleb Ross, full PPR. Trade I have. Jaden, A. Chan, A.T. and Nico, Zayflowers, T. Higgins, R. Myers, Jekir, Vidal, and Marks.

Need an R.B. I'm one in six. You got a lot of problems here, Caleb. A lot of problems here. First of all, you don't have a quarterback this week because you don't have Jaden Daniel. So that's problem number one. You're one and six. I don't know.

Look, Zay's getting Lamar back, hopefully so that's good. T. Higgins has a good matchup against the Jets because he will be the guy flying around by himself. Myers is on a buy, so he would be a guy that I would trade for anything that can help me right now. Vidal should get the full backfield. Like, I just don't know what to do here. I don't think there's a lot that's valuable to other people.

Do you? I think that they need to get a quarterback first. That is the number one priority. Just kind of figure that situation out. Maybe you trade running back needy team, some depth with E. You move ETN for a quarterback. Would you trade Dayton Daniels and just stream another quarterback? I mean, he's probably the best asset they have outside of A-Channel on this roster to get better.

Yeah. Because Nico's not going to play this week. If you could trade Jaden Daniels and stream quarterback, look, you're one in six. Go pick up Joe Flacco. See what happens. Like, just give it a shot here. You're one and six. You've got nothing to lose except more games right now.

That's true. That's it. All right. Let's get to the next super chat here is Dylan, Dylan Thomas. Gibbs, Taylor, Scataboo, and Spears, and Tett, Terry, Coleman, Pierce, all downs at wide receiver, 12 team. I'm 7-0. Should I trade Scataboo for a stronger wide receiver?

If you're 7-0, like, Terry's coming back. I mean, I think you could use another wide receiver here, but I don't want to trade Scadabu to do it. I don't want to do it. How are you 7-0 with this team, Dylan? That's more the question. I mean, Gibbs and Jonathan Taylor, they score 30 points a game. Well, then, that's true.

I guess that's it. But I mean, but think about it. But Coleman's giving you nothing. Piersel hasn't played. Tets been boring. And Terry McClorn hasn't played. That's stunning. That's still stunning.

It's really running back driven. That's pretty insane. Yeah. So you just wait for Pierceall and Terry to get healthy. Just sit on it, bro. Yeah. I think if you're 7 and 0, you're probably doing the right things. So don't blow it up necessarily just to change things up.

Booty Franklin, Tess, Monangai, full PPR, bench one. who's the odd man out this week. It's between Tess and Booty. It's Benangai or Frank. Oh, okay. So we're on the complete opposite. Well, because I want Mononga because I want some floor with, because I think that these three receivers are all kind of like boom or bust.

See, Ted's, I think is another guy is the most touchdown. What do you believe or not against the Saints? I really do. And Booty's also, he's got to catch the long one or else he kind of usually just disappears. They both do. I think, I think, I think, I think Taz will probably be the guy I said, but I think it's pretty close. Okay.

That's fair. It is a tough one. B5, trade Josh Allen for St. Brown or Dowdle for a Duneze. I would do both of those. Yes. Can we do? Yes. How about yes? How about all of the above?

Go to Manuel, half PPR. I traded Chase Brown and I got Rushi Rice. That's great. Wow. Fantastic. That's awesome. QB. Josh Allen, Tidand Bowers, your thoughts on the rest of this roster.

CMC. Charbonnet Rico. I'd like to have, look, now you got that Chase Brown piece. Oh, no, you don't have it. So you're a little lighter at RB, right? Because after CMC, this is the kind of team you have to have Brian Robinson on, right? Like, you just have to. You are the Brian Robinson guy.

Ah, 11 hip-balls is back. Rico or Rashad White. Rashad White. Next is Paul Plaza. What's up, guys? Should I sell Swift high and for whom? I think Swift is an interesting sell high. His schedule the next couple weeks is good, but as Wormann and I talked about it on the trade show,

his playoff schedule is kind of rough. So I think it does make sense to maybe get out ahead of it. A piece that you could trade him for, maybe his teammate, O'Donzee, Swift to get Brees Hall. I think I'd probably take Brise Hall. Okay. That's Bam Bam's question. Yeah. Well, the other person asked, I would take Swift overhaul.

I would take all. I think the jets are just a disaster. But there's still a chance that Hall gets traded. Right. That has to, but it's. But that plays a factor in this, though. it does they would also play a factor if the jets knew what they were doing as organization and were smart enough to make a good move like that i mean they traded for devontai adams last

year fair flex iqbuka or judkins or kittal uh i buka for me still i can't take a bookka out of a line no no you got to play he's at autostart eggbuka never comes up he auto start rookie of the year auto start uh dynasty uh starters are baker kiler scadaboo dobbins neighbors c brys london mcbride thinking about trading rice, London and Scadaboo for Gibbs, Tet and draft capital. I don't like doing this. Scadaboo is a rookie.

Rice is only his third season. He's barely played. London is still relatively young. Tet has no quarterback with him and you're just trying to get Gibbs. I don't like this at all. I think this is a terrible idea. And I don't like the 2026 draft class nearly as much as I like last year. Yeah.

It's a hard note for me. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't agree with that. I guess like I'm trying to figure out where because like all the players people fall in love of picks but all the players in dynasty all the players that he was putting in the deal are all like really young yeah so I guess that's the thing everybody wants them to be younger and this and like guys like picks are again arbitrary give me talent I'm always training picks for talent every time I can

I guess I guess the thing too is like tetrault Mcmillan you're kind of hoping he is Drake London right but you already have Drake London so just keep great London And how's he going to get there with Bryce Young and Andy Dalton? The quarterback thing is a question mark. Mac Jones is the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers next year. Man, so he's really going to fall like the Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold trajectory. Go to Carolina. Be terrible.

What else else? Maybe he won't be terrible. Canalysis is done. Well, the old line there is underrated. And he can see over the offensive line. I think that's one of the best landing spots for Mac Jones this year, to be honest with you. Carolina makes a ton of sense. I mean, my cardiac cats.

Let's go. 12 team PPR, 1 and 6, so things are not going well. Evans is out. I'm lost. What to do. So you've got Jeddah's Wondale, Franklin, booty, Pierceall, Shakir. Look, Pearson's not helping you, so he'd be a piece off the island because he's still hurt and you can't wait anymore.

Jones, Lamar, I assume we're talking to Daniel Jones and Lamar, so you don't need two quarterbacks. Now that Lamar's back, look, this is a 1 in 6 team based on the fact Lamar's been hurt. I think that's how I look at this roster. and unfortunately, you're thin at wide receiver. So Pearsall and Daniel Jones for wide receiver is what I would do, especially with Evans done for the year. I mean, Daniel Jones is fine as a fan's quarterback.

You get Cortland Sutton. Yeah, but you don't need him. You got Lamar. What I'm saying is like... So then do you, but then you move Lamar for a top tier shelf wide receiver. Either way, one of those quarterbacks and Pearsall's got to go for somebody better that you could play at wide receiver because Evans is done. He's never coming back.

So let it. Go. Should I trade away Lamar and run the rest of season with Stafford? It depends on what you get for Lamar. If you can get a top shelf running back receiver, then see ya. I think that's every team that has Lamar, if you have a losing record, I think you got to trade him for receivers running backs that will help you because there's a lot of usable quarterbacks that you can get off waivers. So Shannon's up next. I'm hurting at RB other than CMC looking to trade Kraft and Tet for Javante. Williams thoughts i have cd lamb london alave adams ae o matter malick washington we score kickoff

returns okay that's interesting too a little wrinkle there yeah i i think of that deal i like i like buying javanti so i like all the players in this deal craft mcmillan but jamante's the guy like the most so yeah i do it okay there you go shannon all right let's get to frank's question here uh and we did all the guaranteed super so again everything right now no guarantees on super chats you super chat at your own risk. Converse to the show. Frank is up next year. I'm two and five in a 12 team league. I have Baker, Purdy, K9, Dobbins, Camara, Amon Ra, Waddle, et cetera, et cetera. What should I do? Maybe need a running back. So what should Frank do here? Well, they don't have Chase Brown. So that's an option. You could try to go get Chase Brown. We've talked about Kenneth Walker for

Chase Brown straight up. That seems like a doable deal. Walker's on a buy this week, so he's not going help you and he's stuck in that RB2 committee with Charbonnet. So unless someone gets injured, I don't think it's really going to change. So Chase Brown, I think it's an option that you could go after. Any other thoughts? Nope, I think you nailed it. The great PPR, you want Taylor or Schultz at tight end this week? I actually really like Dalton Schultz this week.

I do too. And I have no confidence in the Jets to do anything. Bills are 49ers defense this week. I think you just got to keep a tagging. If the Texans don't have Nico Collins, I think that that's... They also don't have an offensive line, so I'm going with Sam Fran. Yeah, I think that's probably the move. B1 kicks.

Sold CMC for Sequin in London. Did I get finessed? I don't think you got finessed. I think that's the market value for him, and it's a matter of... I mean, this could look great if CMC ends up, you know, not holding up to the workload, but if he does, then obviously, like, you know, I could feel great about... I mean, you got good players back, but, yeah. and Bryce Young did not practice today,

so we're getting closer to that Andy Dalton news any minute now. Trade Lamar and Nico for Jamar Chase. I have Dart. All right, see, this is the kind of deal. See this? You make a big move like this. You bring in a big impact player, and then you roll with QB with the ugly QB,

and it's not always going to be pretty for Jackson Dart, but he gets rushing equity. Max is up next. PPR. Trade Kelsey and Alger for Pitts and Brian Thomas. This is one of these. It's where. Well, look, you're the Brian Thomas whisper from last year.

Yeah. So I don't know where you're at in this new offense. I don't know where he's at. The health is now in question. I mean, who is the best player in this deal right now? Is it Travis Kelsey? Dare I ask? Oh, man.

I think it is. The list of just players that I want. I mean, Al Jir is a handcuff most of the time. Although you can probably play him this week because he's facing the dolphins. I just, I don't think you should be training for Brian Thomas. so because I think that he's going to landmine your lineup more often than not. So even if he has a good game, you put him in your lineup the next week, and then he has a bad game.

And he's hurting you more than helping you. The connection with him and Trevor Lawrence is just non-existent. It's two steps forward, one step back. Seems to every single week with them. So, yeah, I think that I think I'm not making this deal. I think Kelsey is probably, you're still going to want Kelsey over Pitts. And then Aljir is a handcuff, but he's a high-end handcuff. And if I have Bichon Robinson, I want to make sure I have Algear or two.

So I think, yeah, I just don't want Trevor Bryant. Do you think we're going to get Pennix this week? I don't think so, honestly. You know, he was banged up at the end of the game. Whenever they say guys are day to day, it usually means it's like, translation is week to week. Like, that's usually what ends up happening. So here's the other question. Do you think that you get Gino Smith returning a quarterback after the buy?

or is it, can he pick it? I think Gino will still get another opportunity. I mean, look, he went to Kansas City. I think he will too. I do too. He went to Kansas City with Outbowers or, like, I mean, like, he doesn't have his best receiver. So I get that he's played like crap, but when you're missing your best guy, it's going to result you and you playing pretty poorly.

So. Jacob and Myers wants out of there in the worst way. You see what he said? Like, oh, yeah, I still want to be traded. But we'll see how to. Yeah, I still want to betray it. Yeah. All right.

Josh is 7 and 0. Congratulations. Oh, Josh. That's great. So. So here we go, half PPR, two flex. Dax, EMC, K9, CD Lamb, Drake, McBride, Olavet, Elave, Terry, trade Olave and Bears backup RV. I assume we're talking about Monongai for Gentie.

Yes, I'm good with that. I like getting Genty. Yeah. But that, because, look, your second RB situation is canine and that ain't great. So I'm okay with that. You still got CD and Drake. On the wide receivers to work with. Terry McLaren's coming back now.

So, yeah. I trade BTJ for pick. or trade Henry for Kyron. Do the first one. Yeah. I'd rather pickings. Even with land back, it doesn't, I mean, pickens is still going to produce probably more than Brian Thomas Jr. anyway, so.

I think you'll produce more than Brian Thomas Jr. Trade Jalen Warren for Addison. That's a tricky one here. Where are you? That leaves them with Gibbs, Brown, KW3. I say no. Yeah, Addison worries me because of J.J. McCarthy, taking back quarterback duty. and what the offense will look like with him under center

because it wasn't great. I mean, we haven't even seen JJ McCarthy play with Addison this year at all. So. Yeah. Question mark. Yeah, I just don't love that conceptually either.

He played eight quarters of football and one good one McCarthy. So still not like, still not there yet. I'm excited about the upside. Yeah. I still think he's got upside. But the problem is he's in that, he's in that weird death spiral that Anthony Richardson.

Or he's missing reps. He's hurt. Yeah. Can't get better because you can't get reps and you can't get reps. And you can't get reps if you're not healthy and you can't get better. if you can't get reps. It's like, yeah. It's terrible.

It's no good. Keani, 12 team, three and four. You got Jaden and Drake at QB, Keenan, Tez, Jacobi, Golden, Puka at wide receiver. Bucky, Bill, J.K. And then Kate Otten and Kittle, trade options. So look, you've got to get better at wide receiver. And right now, Pooka's your only guy.

Once again, I think this is, I'm playing Drake May rest of season. Jaden Daniels can go bye-bye. I think he's the only asset you have to get better. So whatever he can bring you back. Because right now, there's a lot of questions. This is a 500 team, but I don't think this is a 500 team where I go, yeah, this team's going to get hot in the playoffs. Like, Pook is your best asset.

Don't trade them. Jaden's probably your second best asset. So that's the guy that's got to move, especially since you have made to back it up. Yeah, I think that that's probably the move to make. Maybe you could do Jaden for O'Donze as an option if you're looking for more wide receiver options. next up is jb's question here trade jalen warren for rome here we go the nexus of the universe we just hit it yeah uh yeah i mean i'm fine with that let's go next is john snow oh back again john snow

i thought he was dead trade saint brown for jvante williams and higgins no yeah no i think i don't think i just keep same brown yeah oh that's not terrible value like higgins is is going to be useful again. I just, I just don't like training. Amon Roth. Here's one from digital, trade bill and BTJ for Bucky and Pearsall. What side do you want to be on this one? Oh, man, this one's tough. Because I still like Pierceall, but he's, it's, it's tough because you're trading for two injured players, but you also are trading away and injured players. So I want the, I'll say what, I have a strong feeling about this. I want the Bucky Pierce all side. That's the upside play. Yeah. That's the play. If they all come back and play well and they're all healthy, that,

that's a team that can go crazy. Yeah. I fell is trained J. C.M. Rome did I do all right? I think it's solid. Good. I think it's solid too. Bucky for Egbuka. I still want a Gbuka in a full PPR. I do, too. There's one.

Dobbins for St. Brown straight up. Ooh, that's interesting. I think that this is a sharp move to make. I think that we might see Dobbins tail off a little bit. Again, I'm talking about guys that start out the season really, really hot. Dobbins is kind of one of those players and he sometimes tails off. So I think getting ahead of it, I mean, Chase Brown, again, not a lot of touches over the first month of the year because he wasn't, because they were getting killed. So he's fresh.

Yeah. Awesome, Dev. Chase owner is playing him. So KW3 is a no go. Woody or Pacheco and Wondale or Diggs or Sutton for Chase Brown and O'Dunesay Fair. Pacheco and Wondale is what I want to do. But I don't think that gets it done. Yeah, you're going to probably.

So you might have to move up to digs. I'm cool with moving digs if I know I get O'Donzee back. I'm good with that too. So digs and Woody then. So keep a check-o. Yes. And that's an area. That's either or are.

Good trade. That's how we did. That's good check. Good job. Good job. I need an R.B. Got an offer to acquire A. Chan for Tett McMillan and Ken Walker. I have Rice.

Yes. Nico Collins. I'm on Raw. Ricky Pearsall, wide receiver. Take it. Yep. Take it. There you have it.

Next up here, here's, one from Joe trade Gentie and Kelsey for Camara and McBride. I don't know, man. I mean, I feel like McBride's the best piece in this deal, but I hate giving up Gentie. I feel exactly the same way. It's really tricky because there's a world where Gentie takes off in the second half

and Kelsey's just fine. I think I still want Gentie and Kelsey. I do. Also, I would say with McBride, Kyle was back under center where the touchdowns go away for Trey McBride. also true maybe this is more roster dependent and if you are i mean you have kelsey at tight end so you're not like dead it's not terrible i mean he's fine he's fine i think that he's not in the elites but he's just like maybe above the he's in the middle of the pack he's tight end six every week right

what is he yeah somewhere somewhere yeah he's basically right outside the elite guys and then there's kelsey just kind of and then he's above all the streamers oh i was right he's tight end six on the air yeah nailed it he's tight he's just fine he's just fine yeah he's not going to kill you sometimes you might help you. Should I trade James Cook for Rushie Rice and JCM? Yes. I think so too. I think that's enough of a haul there. It'll be interesting to see what the bills do after two straight losses coming out of a buy too. Just say. Maybe play James Cook on third down. Maybe. We'll see.

That'll be nice. That'll be nice. Got confused earlier. Garrett Wilson for Pickens. What side do you want? I want Pickens. Yeah, I think that... Pickens as a quarterback. Yeah, just wipe your hands clean of the Jets. I think it's probably the best of the make. And your ass and every other piece of your body. Whatever you can, just be clean of the jets, please.

It's so bad. He's one and done, right? Glenn, for you? It's going to be done, right? I don't know, man. You got the, you know, the owner was saying that it's not his fault. It's a quarterback's fault. So.

Well, I don't know, man. The owner did sign the quarterback, right? He's writing the check, after all. Mirren's question, full PPA or trade, Sequin from Metcalf and Ramandre. I don't love that. I think you could be a, I think you can get more than this for Sequin.

Metcalf, I like Metcalf. I don't like Ramandre rest of season. I have just major, you're like Bill. Yeah, I think I would target a different running back. Even like Chase Brown, man.

Stop saying Chase Brown. But he's the guy to buy. He's the by running back. Breece and Pierceall for JK and T. Higgins. Breeze and JK, that's probably slightly prefer J.K. Pierceall. So, Brise and Pearsall for J.K.

and T. Higgins. Jay's got a really good matchup this week. I like Jake's and T. Higgins side. Because Pearsall's hurt and Bruce Hall plays for the Jets. Like, I like Pierceall theoristic. Nope. Stop it. Stop there.

Your analysis was spot on. That's what we're going to be. Sometimes, look, guys, talent is great. But if talent doesn't have a facilitator of the football to move the chains, to get first downs, to get them in scoring positions, they can't really score you fantasy points. if they're three and out, if they're turning the ball over. Like, this is unfortunate, but just as a fact.
