This is an IHeart podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
Hey guys, it's us.
The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
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.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.
you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Welcome in, everybody. It's the extra point on fantasy pros. I'm your host, Scott Bogman,
here with Andrew Erickson. Mr. Erickson, what is going on, my friend? Are you ready for another
weekend of football? Oh, I am ecstatic for another weekend of football. A lot of upsets last week,
a lot of big fantasy performances, and again, more injuries that we have to kind of combat
well, with our fantasy lineups. But that's what we're here for. This is where we get to flex our
analysis skills and tell you which charges running back to start this week.
Yeah, of course, because we all know exactly to start this week.
Everybody does, of course.
I want to remind you guys to join our Fantasy Pro's Discord community.
You can chat with other fans, get access to exclusive AMAs that wind up on our podcast feed.
The current schedule is Wormon Fits at Five Eastern on the first Tuesday of every month,
myself in Fits at Five Eastern on the third Tuesday of every month, Welsh and Erickson,
Thursdays at two, that would be this one right here, that I am hosting for the Welsh.
So come and get your questions answered and be on the show at fancypros.com slash chat.
Now, Erickson, I know rules and regulations mean that I have to remind everybody that we are not asking Thursday night football questions today
because this show is going to come up after the Thursday night show in your feet, or the Thursday night football game in your feed.
So please know Thursday night football questions.
but with that, let's go ahead and kick it off here with Vans.
Vans, what is going on, my friend?
How are you doing?
Hey, boys, how's it going?
Good. What's up?
Question.
I got the old George Kittle coming back soon.
And I'm just wondering what to do with my boy, Fergillish.
Should I try to flip one of them?
What do you think there, Erickson?
Can you get anything for Fergie?
I think so.
I think we had a lot of.
desperate tight ends or desperate managers looking for tight ends, I would hit up the Brock Bowers manager.
Okay. Do you want to wait around for Brock Bowers to show up? Do you want to make a deal?
That's what I would try to do. But I would definitely, I think it makes sense to sell high on Ferguson.
You know, I think his production will tail off a little bit with C.D. Lamb eventually coming back and you have a great alternative like George Kittle.
I think it makes sense to try to capitalize on cashing out on one of those guys.
I agree. I think, you know, there are a lot of tight ends on the wire. Fans, how deep of a league is this? Is this 10, 12 more?
It's actually a 12 teamer. 12 teamer, okay. So in a 12 teamer, you should be able to flip Fergie for something. I mean, it may not be the best thing, but I don't know, if you have Kittle coming back,
Erickson, do you want them more maybe hold Fergie or there are enough tight ends on the wire where let's go ahead and trade him and get what we can for him because tight ends are a diamond.
a dozen on the wire.
I mean, I would probably just flow, I would very much go to whoever has the worst
tight-in situation in your league because that's where you're going to get the most back
for.
And if there's anything on there, Ross, that interests you, then I would make the move now.
Even if George Gale doesn't come back until week seven, I think that trying to capitalize
on Ferguson, especially, like Boggs said, there are a couple options of the waivers that you can
kind of, you know, piecemeal an option this week, even if it's not like a ceiling play.
but because I don't think you want to have both those guys on your roster at the same time
because I think you're going to be flip-flopping every week trying to figure out who to start
and I think that could be kind of frustrating.
Just your own headache.
Yeah, that's good point to be brought up.
Got anything else for us there, Vance?
I think that's kind of it.
I was wondering if it would be one of those guys would be enough to even try to go get like a Henry or somebody.
I'm a little weak on the running backs right now.
I can't imagine anybody trades Henry for a tight end.
especially, you know, like, Kittle would make sense because Henry's down right now,
but I wouldn't do that because, you know, Henry may be down right now,
but at least he's not hurt, and Kittl is playing with an injury.
And maybe if you package one of those tight ends with another running back on your team,
and upgrade to Henry or some of the power receiver,
I'm getting to go check out the Trade Central with a trade analyzer,
and that can give you some ideas of a potential trades you can put together.
You're going to do it right now. Thanks, boys.
You got it, Vance.
Appreciate you, my friend.
take it easy we got sam up next here comes trouble what's going on sammy how we doing
how are you guys doing how you guys go bears go bears so i have had a few interesting things happen
i had a trade that i floated out there like a week ago and it got randomly accepted and i was
oh what's this uh it was david montgomery for debo which i'm happy with it um i just wanted to
see where you guys were at it's a super flex half ppr
and then I also have another one where it's I'm trying to I have CD Lamb I have Amon Ra I have Brock Bowers
I got Debo so I'm kind of good at wide receiver I have Mason Taylor for Brock Bowers fill in for now so I'm not really worried there
so I was thinking about piecing Brock Bowers and CD for somebody and then I just thought that might be a
little bit too much for somebody like Bijon, but I'm trying to go after Beijon and he wants
CD. So I'm trying to figure out where the median is.
All right. Let's hit this trade first. It was, uh, who was it again? It was somebody for
Debo? Debo and David Montgomery. That's it, David Montgomery. So your thoughts on that deal first,
Erickson. I think it's a fair deal. I think I'd probably prefer the Debo side in a vacuum,
although I could see the argument where, hey, I'm really down bad at running back. Can you
flip me, Dave Montgomery?
So I could see how it works for both sides,
although I don't like Montgomery as much
in this particular matchup this week
at the Kansas City Chiefs.
Yeah, I got Debo just to clarify.
So like I said, so in a vacuum, I think,
because again, Terry's still not back.
Like, and until he comes back,
like Debo is going to be like a top 12 receiver.
I mean, things will probably tail off a little bit.
He also gets banged up a lot,
especially in the second half of the season.
That's why I want Terry to come back.
Yeah.
I feel like Debo is one of those running,
are wide receivers that like he makes the team better and doesn't really take much of a share away because he has he's so versatile like and they haven't really used them as a gadget much this year which i'm sure they want
probably going to start because they have so many injuries are running back soon too so um yeah i like that deal what about the other side ericsson where uh you know you're trying to get uh be jean but
lamb and and bowers i i don't know which way to go there like obviously i think you would have to have a kicker you can't
You know, an add-on, I should say, not an actual kicker.
But you have to have- Yeah, he wants to have.
Yeah, okay.
I don't really have add-ons that are good.
Like, I have Tadier Spears, I have Ken-Trey Miller, I have Tracy Jr.
I meant for you.
I meant for you.
Like, I don't know that two injured players for Bejohn is a fair trade anyway, but I don't know.
That's probably your first and second round pick.
I don't know that I want to deal both of them for one player.
What are your thoughts on this deal, Erick?
And it's a pretty big one.
I think
I'm not sure that
that deal is even going to work, to be honest.
I don't think that
the Bija Man-
He wants to be in a piece.
He will, he, that's, that's what he's thinking,
realistically.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess you could try Bowers,
but I feel like
you're selling Bauer's kind of low.
And I know you mentioned you had Mason Taylor
and like in theory that could be great.
But if Mason-Tillard goes out and goes three for 30,
you're like, okay.
I prefer Borrowers in the,
lot longer. I want to keep him honestly if I can. And I'm just trying to figure out like Jordan
Mason and maybe, um, CD for Bijon straight up. Is that too much? I mean, I think that's,
I think that's too much. I don't think that's too much. I guess like Bowers, I'm, I guess I'm trying to
hold him if I can. Again, if you need wins right now, he's not going to help you. So that's something
that you need anyone that has Brock Bowers has to kind of like figure out. But the thing with Bowers,
I want to point out is if the Raiders
continue to keep losing games and
like they become sellers, they could trade
Jacobi Myers. Remember he
he demanded or he requested a trade
right before the season started.
So he could get dealt. And then you're looking
at Brock Bowers as like,
Trey Tucker, Deonti Thornton
as like the guys for targets and
that offense. And if he comes back healthy
like remember what happened last year
with Pooka and Akua when he got hurt at the beginning
of the year? I'm like, how is he going to be
when he comes back? And then he just like melted phases.
right like so not again not a one for one comparison with
i mean young young league players they tend to do it kind of especially if he's not injured
anymore because clearly he's been battling a knee injury every game he's played this year
yeah i just want them to arrest him and i'm going to go send that trade now thank you guys you got
sam appreciate you my friend uh this one in from bot scogman i don't know where this came
from ericsson but uh he says what are you going to do with marvin harrison if kailerner
doesn't play in your week six.
Marvin Harrison.
I'm going to start him.
You're still going to start him with Brissette?
Yeah, I think I'm looking at this in a very different way.
Hasn't the thing with Marvin Harrison been the fact that Kyler's been his quarterback?
Hasn't that been like the issue?
I'm like being dead serious, though.
You know what?
As soon as I said two weeks ago, I'm done with Harrison.
Now Kyler Murray has a nice connection with him.
So I think maybe it was just waiting for me, but I understand what you're saying.
Yeah, that is, it's true.
I mean, look, we saw last year who helped Brian Thomas blow up?
It wasn't Trevor Lawrence.
It was Mack Jones.
I just, I would be open to the idea that, oh, well, maybe he can be better.
I mean, it's not like the matchup is going to be bad.
I mean, they're playing the Cards.
The Cardinals are together, playing the Colts.
The Colts don't have good corners.
Like, the Colts have been blowing teams out, but I don't think their secondary is really that great.
So at Jacoby Percette, they're dropping back to throw.
I don't think that he's afraid to sling in.
into Marvin Harrison Jr. They keep talking about trying to get in the ball more. They're down to
their third straight running back. If they're down by, I mean, if they're getting killed,
like, what else are they going to do? They're going to feed Marvin Harrison and Tray McBride.
So I don't think it really changes, honestly, like what I would do with Marvin Harrison. Again,
if I wasn't starting him anyway, I would probably not start him. But I think that he's probably a wide receiver too.
All right. Well, look, great question from our favorite bot, bot Scott Skogman. So, uh, excellent.
A Bucksman. What's up, my friend? You are up next.
he got for us.
Hey fellas, how's it going?
Going well.
Good, good.
I just got three questions here, three quick ones.
The first two regarding the same team, standard league, for RB2, would you start
Rashad White or Rico Dada.
Ooh, good question.
Yeah, I think it's Rico against Dallas for me with No Chuba.
Didn't practice yesterday.
I haven't seen yet today as we're recording, but it doesn't seem like he's going to be up.
I'd go with Rico again.
Revenge game, right?
Let's go.
Buckle up.
Dude, Rico's in on the revenge game.
Like, he's the one talking about it.
Yeah, no.
He's ready to go.
He wants some revenge.
What's number two?
All right.
So number two in the same league for my flex spot,
would you start Rashad White in there or Cheddar,
McMillan, or Jamar Chase?
I think I'm still going Jamar,
but I understand a pivot.
Are you pivoting there, Erickson?
Are you sticking with Jamar Chase as well?
well. I think I'm going with TeamAC in a standard league. He's playing doubt. I mean,
if he's ever going to score touchdown, it would be this week, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm really steady. Eight plus targets in every single game he's played. I mean,
even if Bryce Young gets benched, boom, you get Andy Dalton in there. Let's go.
Erickson's all about the backup quarterbacks today. I like it. Like,
well, what about Joe Flacco going to Cincinnati then if we're talking about guys in weird
spots? I don't want to talk about that.
that one I'm not nearly as optimistic about it oh that is I love it but that's because I'm a
a Steelers fan all right van what's no or bucks man what's number three last question so I'm in another
league super flex league and I lost neighbors and pierceau in this league so I'm weak at receiver
I have I have I have Tedro McMillan and Rishie Rice I'm waiting for him to come back and then I
have both Quentin Johnson and Keenan Allen.
I sent a trade to a friend.
I have James Cook, so I offer James Cook for Igbuka.
My running backs I would have left would be Giovante Williams, Rico, and Chuba,
and there are a shot White.
Which side would you want to be on the rest of the season?
Ooh, that's a good one.
James Cook versus Igbuka, rest of the year, Erickson.
Where are you going?
I think I still like Cook.
Just barely, though, right?
I mean, like, Buk has been so good.
Yeah.
I'm with you.
It's definitely Cook because Cook is going to score a million touchdowns, right?
I just feel really good about Cook's floor that he's offering every week.
The bill's offense is a juggernaut.
I know he didn't have a great game against the Patriots, but that was like the one week that the bills didn't score 30 points.
His visions.
They score 30 points every single week.
His vision is becoming a little.
James Cook.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that he's like he just looks like he just looks better.
Like he looks like a full-fledged three-down running back.
He looks way better than he did.
Like his first couple years in the league, they paid him.
He's their guy.
And yeah, I think his floor is really, really high in the bill's offense.
So, Ibuka, like there's always the, you know, when there are other receivers come back,
if they come back, whether that matters or not, I mean, I think it probably, probably end up not really mattering.
He's just, he's just that good.
I think, I think the big question here, Erickson, is, is your breakdown enough to convince Bucksman to trade?
a mecca egg buca uh so bucks man what do you think oh yeah i would just keep them yeah yeah are you trading
uh are you trading uh are you trading away egg buca to get cook correct no i'd be getting a buca for
receiver help bucks man what do you i mean just keep your bucks man no he's trading cook to get egg buca
yeah yeah yeah yeah okay okay i mean yeah i mean i think that's we're gonna have to pay to get them
And I would say, like, Chris Godwin was on the injury report this week with a fibula injury, which it's kind of like a weird injury to like have like on like the Wednesday injury report.
So I don't know.
For some reason, the back of my mind, I just feel like we're never going to see Evans, Godwin, and Abukka on the field at the same time.
I don't know.
I just have that feeling in the back of my mind just because those guys are older.
They get banged up.
And so, yeah, I think it may be us being or those that are concerned about at Bucca and other receivers.
It may have being a moot point where it literally didn't.
matter at all.
All right, bucks, bad.
So that's probably the price he got to pay is your best running back for Egbuka,
but he seems worth it right now.
So great questions, my friend.
Let's see, who we have now.
We have salt.
Erickson, what a great look for Drake May on Sunday, right?
Oh, yeah, Drake May.
Finally.
Let's go.
Let's go.
All right.
I will put them in the chat.
Lex half PPR, Michael Carter, or Zach Sharperne?
I'm going to go Carter slightly on that.
Probably gets a bump if there's no Kyler Murray and Sharbs and Walker are still splitting.
I'm going to go with Zach Sharbonne.
I like Seattle on the road this week against the Jaguars.
I think the Jaguars can get run on a little bit.
We saw Cream Hunt.
I have a good game against the Jaguars.
And I just, I don't think my car is very good.
And that just scares me in a matchup where they're not facing the Titans at home anymore.
You think they get on the road against them?
I guess that's not, I guess that's not really my concern because I just don't know, like, what, how good is the Cardinals office going to be anyway?
That's true.
Like, that's my main concern.
Where a Charbonnet, man, like, the Seahawks aren't going to get shut out against the Jags.
No.
And Charbonnet gets a lot of red zone to opportunity.
So in half PPR, I'd rather roll with, with Charbonnet.
And he plays the most snaps on the, on the, on the, on the Seahawks.
It's super frustrating because he averages three yards of carry and Walker averages like eight.
point five.
And he scores all the touchdowns.
But I mean,
we saw this with Kreme Hunt.
He did the exact same thing last week,
not like the sexiest running back
and gets the touchdown.
So I'm going to go with Sharbonne here.
I will just let you know that rankings currently have
Sharbs at 31 and Carter at 24.
Kind of a bigger gap than I imagine there.
But I think that's aggressive on Carter.
I think it is too.
I guess for me,
I mean,
it's just a completely different situation than,
last week. Remember, the Cardinals were like eight and a half point favorites at home against
the Titans. And now they're seven to a half point underdogs on the road against the Colts.
Yeah, my rankings are- And now 27 and Sharbs at 31. So I have, I have Carter closer to, you know,
or actually an RB3, not an RB2 this week. And I understand it. I like Charbonnet.
Got anything else, Salt? All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I put some really nasty quarterbacks for you
guys to rank in the i chat because lamar is sitting on my i r we got two o rogers and gino real winners
two o'er rogers and gino this week erics and what he got on those
hey it's us the jonas brothers and guess what we have some big news what's the news news news
we created our own podcast called hey jonas we invented a podcast well we didn't invent it we just
we just contributed to our first people to do podcasts pretty yeah pretty wide range of podcasts
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 was...
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 notes.
pad, 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 defining 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 first.
flying, he running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball, like,
after you go through a training camp with that I said, you figure it out real quick.
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 George Ardano.
You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet.
Help!
Somebody!
Please!
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 skinny.
Carrie.
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 Hypocrat as part of the Mike Coutura podcast network
available on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Dude, you just can't play Gino.
I think Gino gets cold like at half-prime, though.
I would just play Tua.
At least they're playing at home.
So, like, that's, like, the thing with the Dolphins,
is you have a semblance of hope offensively if they're at home or they're playing a bad team.
Now, you don't get both this week because they're playing the Chargers, but they are playing in Miami.
So I will go to a.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, I'm a Steelers fan, but Aaron Rogers against the Browns, Brown's defense has been pretty legit so far this year.
And I don't know if you could pay me to start Gino.
So, yeah, I think I'm going toa as well.
Okay, cool.
And then just more general, like, you know, I've got these high upside handcuffs on my bench
since the draft like Ali Gordon and RJ Harvey.
I'm wondering like when y'all, I guess, drop or give up on them.
There's people on the wire like Sean Tucker, who's kind of in the same spot with
Rashad White.
I know people are talking about Don Tavian Wicks, but I don't know if Watson's 21-day window
changes that at all.
So what's kind of the longer term?
How long are you holding on to those guys?
What do you think on that one, Erickson?
I think that I'm going to be holding those players just compared to the people that you
mentioned.
Like I'd rather have Gordon Harvey than Sean Thompson.
Tucker and Don Tavian Wicks.
I look, running backs are getting hurt like every single week.
You're right.
And especially with the two guys in front of Gordon and Harvey,
J.K. Dobbins, we know, was never played.
I can't remember the last time he played a full season.
And Devon A. Chan, we know can get banged up too.
So I would keep those guys.
And Sean Tucker, again, he is the Rashad White handcuffed now.
But when Buky Irving, he goes back to RB3.
And then his value is nuked at that point.
So I would just keep the guys you have.
I'm in the same spot.
They suck.
they still they suck with more upside.
So I would stick with them for now.
And, you know, I just think the upside is there for those guys.
And it's kind of not with some of the guys on the wire.
So stick with them, Salt.
You got anything else or is that everything for you?
Well, now y'all got me stressing about Godwin on the injury reports.
If Godwin's out, am I going to flex Carter?
Are we going to put Sterling Shepherd up as the next Baker feeding targets to someone?
Definitely Carter in that one.
So, Carter.
All right, perfect.
Thank you guys so much.
I appreciate it.
You got it, Salt.
Appreciate you.

all right we got sammy aces sammy what's going on hey guys um i'm in a f ppr 14 team league um
It's over a trade that got accepted.
Debo, I'm giving away Debo and getting Nico Collins.
So I think that's a win.
Hopefully you guys agree.
But that's putting me in a tricky spot this week with my lineup.
So I need to figure out my double flex position.
And my options are Gravion Henderson, Jameson Williams.
Jalen Coker or I could pick somebody up from a waiver
some of the options there are like Isaiah Pacheco
or Mims or Wix or sponges
Yeah you don't have to go through the waivers
Yeah
Trevion for me
Yeah
Trebion and JMO for me as well
I know they've been frustrating
but they're big play guys.
You know, so you're hoping for the big play and then a little bit more volume for both,
but they have way more upside than the other guys you mentioned.
So I'm with Erickson, Jamo and Trevion for me.
Great.
And my Debo for Nico.
Great is a positive.
Total win.
Yeah.
I love Debo, but Nico is a true number one.
So excellent deal for you, my friend, Sammy.
very very good way to work the trades there.
Divyar, what's going on, my friend? How are you?
Doing well yourself.
Doing great. What do you got for us today?
I got my mic working, so happy on that one.
Yeah.
Great question.
CD plus Pearsaw, Fortet, and Rice.
Half PPR.
Weird situation.
Every one of those is my number four, except CD,
who would be my number number.
three.
What do you think on that one, Erickson?
I'll let you go first.
CD and Pearsall for
Ted and Rashid Rice.
Ted Mishol.
Ted Morrow. Tettorough.
Tetraub and Rice.
I still won't Lamb and Pierceall.
But I understand getting the other side.
Like, there's no injury risk on the other side.
So outside of, you know,
rice.
I think this is like, well, I guess McMillan,
he's going on what's actually not.
injured at all.
You better to be knocking on wood over there, Erickson.
I got too many tetarola mix shares over here.
Yeah, this one is really tight.
I feel like this one's close.
It's a good trade, I think, for both sides.
I could see the argument for both sides winning.
And you're getting the rice, I guess.
I would be getting actually the CD side.
Okay.
Right now, Ted's my receiver core behind Mbuka, Jassin, and Drake London.
I mean, just go for the upside then.
Just get lamb, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, Tet's my four.
Yeah.
And a two receiver two-plusweed.
Yeah.
Go get lamb and wait on them.
That's what I would do.
Yeah.
And then same league.
The other option I'm considering is packaging ETN and Tet or Mbuka for who, if anyone.
Those two?
I'm benching junk.
Juncans right now.
I better be getting an upper echelon player, right?
Gentie.
Probably two players.
You get Gentie.
The Raiders' vibes are just terrible, even though, like, the Raiders have a pretty good
schedule the rest of the season for running backs, and Genties all they have left, so.
Yeah, maybe Gentie and an add-on, a bench player.
Yeah, I can see Jop's meaning that, or Derek Henry.
It's tough to know, like, who to target, but at least float them and see what offers you get back.
do that.
Awesome.
Thank you guys.
You got it, Divi, I appreciate you.
All right, who is next?
We got the Red Beard.
What's up, Redbeard?
How are you doing, my friend?
I'm doing right.
Y'all, how are y'all doing?
Doing great.
What do you got for us?
I got two questions.
I just saw that Dalton Kincaid.
I got Hawk and Dalton
Kincagin and he just popped up
on the injury report about a
no contact jersey.
Who would you play?
peace out this week.
AJ Barner or Harold
Fannan are on the
waiver.
Ooh, that's a good, that's a good
debate there.
You go on Barner who keeps scoring
touchdowns or Fannan who keeps
getting targets?
Can I go
behind door number three?
I like Hunter Long
a lot this week.
Hunter Long.
That's a great matchup.
That's a great matchup.
I just think that's a really good
matchup. So I would go with Hunter. I think he's an underrated
player. He was with the Rams
with Gladstone. I brought him over for the reason
to Jacksonville. Strange is obviously going to be out after being
Predend Jibber's Reserve. So
although like I guess for me it's like if you already have
Fanon on your roster, I would probably just start him because I don't
necessarily want to drop Fanon. Right. But if you're just looking to add
someone just for this one week because you like him using
Kincaid, then honestly, who wouldn't surprise me if Long
has pretty
productive game.
I like the long call.
I got to be honest, though, it could be any of these tight ends that you start.
And I think they're all kind of in the same bucket, right?
Like, I think if you want the floor, take fan in for the targets.
If you want the upside, I would probably start Barner along for the touchdowns.
So that's how I would order it.
My second question is going to be a consolidation question to alleviate a spot for another
tight end. Who do you think I need to put together with Pollard potentially? There's a guy that's
0 and 5 and I'm 5 in 0. Who do I need to put with Pollard to try to go after George Pickens?
I got on the lower end of my receivers, I got D.K., Matthew Golden, Fonte Smith.
Those are all ones that would either be rotated in the flex or on my bench right now.
Do you think Erickson, you think Golden gets that deal done?
No.
I mean, if I'm an 0-and-5 manager, I'm not trade George Pickens for Tony Pard and Matthew Golden.
Oh, you're 0-5, though.
Yeah, so why would I trade away George Pickens?
Because I have to have depth to get out of this hole.
I don't know.
I think you're, I don't think it works either.
I think it's a little light.
But I think that's...
I think it has to be Metcalf.
Like this, if this guy needs to win now,
Metcalf's already had his buy week.
He's the number one.
He's not going to lose.
You know, there's no one coming back
in the Dallas offense.
So it would probably be Metcalf and Pollard
because, yeah,
that's where I think gets it done
if you really want pickings.
Try golden first.
And if it doesn't work, say, fine, I'll give you that calf.
You know, do one of those.
Because I'm definitely deep.
I'm definitely deep.
deep at running back. Paulard's
like my number five, maybe
even number six when Bucky comes back.
Yeah. Yeah, I would
add on to that and see if you can get picking.
But yeah, low ball and then go from there.
All right. Sounds good. Thank you.
You got it, red beard. Take it easy.
Speaking of trouble, here comes McTunda.
What's up, McTonda? How are we doing, my friend?
Good hour are you, folks.
Doing great. What do you got for us?
All right.
So in a full PPR league there, I offered Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson, Jr. for Dustin Jefferson and J.C.M. How do you feel?
I want the Jefferson and J.C.M. side because I think that McCaffrey is going to end up getting hurt.
But, you know, here we are week six. He's still not hurt. He had a million carries.
And everything seems to be coming up McCaffrey.
So I would want Jefferson and JCM, but I understand wanting McCaffrey since he's the best player right now.
What are your thoughts on that one, Erickson?
I think I agree with your sentiment about kind of valuing the situation.
I think that every week that goes by with McCaffrey, like, you know, maintaining this.
I mean, he's on pace for 442 tattoos.
Like, it's just like something eventually is going to give.
And I think that...
Look, I think that if you're looking to move off of McCaffrey,
I think that this is the exact deal you want to get back.
You're getting a Justin Jefferson who has been a stud this year,
despite having, like, not the greatest quarterback play.
I mean, he's basically just showing when I'm in this offense, like,
I'm going to eat no matter what.
It doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
It could even be Carson Wentz.
That's right.
Yeah.
So Wentz and McCarthy, it doesn't matter.
Like, he's going to produce.
So I like getting.
him back and
JCM
it feels like
you're buying high
but the commanders
have the number one
easiest schedule
rest of season
for running backs.
He's facing the Bears
this week.
He's been an
absolute monster with
Jaden Daniels.
That was something
that kind of flew under
the radar too with his
usage.
He didn't play a lot
in the two games
that Jaden
Daniels didn't play.
So that that was
kind of interesting.
Hmm.
But then when Daniels
comes back,
he's immediately
entrenched back as
the RB1
in the commander's
offense.
I think that he is a
he's like
a,
superstar in the making with JCM the rest of the season.
So I think right now it seems like you're,
you feel like you're selling those guys at their peak,
but I think this is a good return in like a month from now.
You may be like, wow, I'm really glad I made that trade.
So I think both sides can win here.
But I think that you're getting ahead of something.
You're selling high on Metafri,
which I think is a sharp move to make.
Same.
Right there.
Anything else, make done?
And then last, the other trade I had there in a,
another league there was I moved CD Lamb and JCP,
funny enough there for Jimmy or Gibbs.
Do you feel like that was enough value or did I give up too much?
No, I think that was fair.
Like you're giving,
you're giving an add-on on top of an injured player.
So I think that's a fair deal.
What are your thoughts on that one, Erickson?
Guys like Gibbs.
I don't think that you feel like you're always going to overpay for them,
quote-unquote, but if they put up,
those 30, 40 point games for you.
It doesn't matter what you paid to get them because those win you're your weeks.
Same.
Cool.
You got it, McTunda.
Appreciate you, my friend.
Let's see.
We got herbs and cheese up next.
What's up, herbs and cheese?
How are doing, my friend?
What's up, guys?
Got a few questions for you real quick.
Kamara, if he ends up playing this week or Chase Brown, it's full PPR, and you'll get a
quarter point per carry.
I like that one.
So say it one more time.
Say it one more time.
Herbs and cheese.
Camara or Chase Brown.
And then full PPR and quarter point per carry.
Camara against your Saints and Chase Brown at the Packers.
What do you think, Erickson?
Gimpy Camara or Chase Brown on a weak offense against the Packers.
I don't.
I think, man, I was ready to be like Camara.
but like I don't I don't feel nearly as confident now that I'm actually thinking about it
the Patriots are actually good I mean both matchups aren't really great
I'd say go with the healthy guy right yeah that's true if Camer is banged up he's in more
of a committee versus Chase Brown who's not really in a committee and I don't know how good
Joe Flagg was going to be I'm not optimistic but I feel confident that Chase Brown might get
more targets than Camer because Camer's targets have been really up and down
this year. The Patriots don't have a good pass rush, so you don't necessarily expect Spencer
Rattler to check the ball down a lot. He doesn't do that really much anyway. So I think I'm actually
going Chase Brown. Just given the optics of this scoring format, full PPR, and the fact that you're
getting points or a quarter point per carry, I mean, Chase Brown's going to have more carries
than Camara, probably. Yeah. So I think that just kind of pushes me towards Chase Brown. It's a good
question though and I'm kind of like rethinking.
Yeah.
Ask tomorrow.
The answer might be different on that one for sure.
But I agree with you.
I just think that, you know, it makes a lot of sense knowing that Camara has this ankle
thing now that Kendra Miller got more carries last week.
But if that was the case, then I would just expect they seem pretty comfortable with
Kendra Miller, right?
So I think they just give Kendra a little bit more.
And I think if you're the Bengals, your strategy with that horrible defense should be to
control the clock.
So I think, I just think Chase Brown's going to have a decent amount of volume, even if it's
ineffective volume, right?
Even if it's 25 touches for 78 total yards, if he gets in the end zone a time or two,
that'll just be pretty significant.
Also, also, too, Chase Brown, he's not a plotter.
Yeah.
So he could always, you know, he just makes a guy miss.
Maybe if anything, getting more targets, getting him in space, maybe that can kind of help
him generate some big, big explosive place for the Bengals.
So I think, yeah, I think it's Chase Brown.
Yeah, and we know Joe Flacco's favorite move, 60-yard Hail Mary pass interference down
to the one, Chase Brown.
There you go.
That is true.
That is true.
Yes, Chase Brown.
Maybe he's really the actual winner from this Joe Flackout trade.
The more we talk about this.
Yeah, the more we talk about this, the more we want it.
It's none of the receivers that are actually going to benefit.
It's actually just Chase Brown.
He's going to smash now, which is good because I know that a lot of people
drafted Chase Brown because we all thought he was going to be good.
Can you imagine if Flacco gets hurt and they have to go back to Browning immediately?
How hilarious.
I mean, the thing is like Jake Browning, me, if ever he gets another shot,
he just has to realize, hey, I just got to take more risks because that's all Joe Flacco does just rip it.
Seriously, just chuck that thing.
I mean, throw it down there.
Somebody will get it.
You have Jason Higgins.
Put it up.
Someone will get it.
anything else, Erbs and Shees?
What else you got for us?
Yeah, a couple quick ones.
Ken Walker or Kenan Allen in a flex spot this week.
Still Ken for me.
I think he's more likely to score a touchdown.
What do you think, Erickson?
Yes, Ken Walker for me.
And then last one, if Jalen Koker's active this week,
I might have to play him if QJ is out,
but I'd have to pick him up off waivers.
Would you drop Monongai or DJ Giddens first?
I'm not the JT owner
if that makes a difference on dropping kittens.
Yeah, because Monongai is getting run
and I think he might be better than Swift already.
So I would keep Manangai.
Yeah.
I would as like a PSA to everyone,
you know, looking for stashes,
I would try to make sure that there's none of these bears
rookies are on the waivers.
Luther Burden, Colson Loveland,
Kyle Winangai.
We see this all the time with teams.
They go into their biweek.
They come out and then the rookies have bigger roles,
especially under a new head coach with Ben Johnson.
He picked all these guys to be part of his offense for this year.
It would not surprise me if one, if not all of them have larger roles out of the biweek.
So if you have space on your roster, try to hold them at least through week five or through week six to get an idea of, oh, wow.
Now Luther Burton is the starter over Alameda Zakias, which wasn't the case heading into the by week.
So that's just something to keep in mind.
Would you then start a non guy over R.J. Harvey as my last.
flex spot in that league.
Because, again, it's speculative.
Like, I can't guarantee you like, oh, yeah, well, he's going to be the starter this week.
Like, unless we get more concrete information about that, I'm not going to throw him into the lineup.
I mean, RJ Harvey, he's facing the Jets, right?
And if they're winning by a lot of points, he should get run in the second half.
So I would still start RJ Harvey, but you want to at least hold Monong guy, see if his role changes.
Yep.
I'm right there.
Got it.
exact answer. So appreciate your herbs and cheese. Great questions. Man, these questions have been
killer today. You guys are doing a great job producing the show for us. So all we have to do is
answer. Appreciate that, everybody. Plum, what is going on? What can we do for you?
Going once, going twice? My second favorite fruit. All right, we're going to move you to back
in the line, Plum. Just raise your hand again if you want to come back. Before we get to the next question,
we'll remind you guys about the fantasy pros Twitch out of bounds with Joe the Welsh and myself
returns to Twitch on Mondays at 2 p.m. Eastern. The Welsh and Bogman spend two hours tackling
your fantasy questions, and we play a game of Madden at noon Eastern each Tuesday. That was an hour
this week. Our structure is we answer questions for an hour, and then we play a game or two of Madden.
And I got to get back on this because Welsh beat me twice the last time we played. So got to get back
on that. Seth and DeBro will be here on Thursdays at 1 p.m. Eastern and Fridays at 2.5.
2 p.m. Eastern. We've also got a fantasy football
Q&A for you every Sunday at noon
Eastern. And last, we recap
Sunday's action at 7.30 p.m.
Eastern. Head over to
Twitch.tv slash fantasy pros.
Give us a follow. So you never miss a stream
and ask your questions live. When was the last time
you played some Madden there, Erickson?
I might have been at Joe's house
last year.
And I remember vividly
because I got
up on him 7-0 or
14 to 7 with an Isaiah Pacheco touchdown.
I hit the gritty and then I got blown out.
It was all over after that.
Yeah.
No, I hit the gritty and then immediately it was all downhill from there.
Hey, you know, at least you got to hit the gritty.
So.
Yeah.
It's all the matter.
That's right.
Serge, what's going on?
What do you got for us?
I appreciate it, guys.
I've got three here for you.
First one up, Jordan Mason rest of season.
I'm looking at their schedule and it seems favorable for like the actual early down running back.
But obviously we've seen Scott in this like receiving role and how does Jones factor in.
What do you thoughts on Mason for the rest of this season, Erickson?
I think that he kind of had a bad runout in terms of like the scheduling and opportunity.
So they're on a biweek this week.
They have tough matchups coming out of the buy week.
I think they have the Eagles, I'm pretty sure.
That's not ideal.
And then by the time the schedule really gets easier,
Aaron Jones is coming back.
So on one hand, the offensive line should get healthier.
But I think it's just going to be him in a committee.
I don't know how much receiving upside he has with Jones
and Scott still also involves his past catcher.
So I think that he's a fine candidate to trade away.
I know I haven't in a lot of spots,
but I think he's probably like a back end
RB2 flex play rest of season
unfortunately
yeah I think that
that's probably
where I would need him if I need him is maybe a flex
on a buy week or something so thank you
next one is Tet or Diggs rest of season
still going to be Teteroa for me
I love the fact that we've seen Diggs
be better specifically last week
but still McMillan for me
What are your thoughts on that one, Erickson?
Still touch Rob Mcmillan for me.
I still think that he hasn't hit his ceiling.
He's shown a really high floor for the first five weeks of the season,
eight plus targets in every single game that he's played this year.
Just hasn't scored a touchdown yet.
The big game is coming for him,
and it could be this week against the aforementioned Dallas Cowboys.
So, yes, Gags has been fantastic the last couple weeks.
But I think McMillan hasn't even hit his ceiling yet.
So, T-Mack for me.
All right, thank you.
And then the last one is a quick trade option.
I put my wide receivers and running backs in the chat here.
I have a lot of options and I can't start them all.
So I'm kind of looking to consolidate here.
And I'm looking to go after CD.
Do you think Diggs and Tet for CD is too much if I can still start
Jamar Chase and London every week?
And then the other option could be if I go get worthy for Scataboo straight up
and then flip worthy.
and either Tet or Diggs for CD.
So essentially...
I'd rather just stick with the Tetaro and Diggs, right?
Right.
But if you're saying, if you can do the other trade
where you're essentially just going to be trading Scataboo for...
So it would be Scataboo and Diggs for Lamb, essentially.
Like, assuming that you can do the worthy thing,
but you're basically trading away Scataboo and...
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, that was my original offer.
and he's like, I don't really want a running back,
but there's another team that I could
maybe go do one running back for a receiver for
and then pair them with digs to go get land.
So is that the way that you guys would suggest going?
Well, let me ask you this, Erickson.
If you're doing this deal, right,
would you rather just do Tet and Diggs and then Keep Worthy,
or would you still rather go Tet and Worthy and Keep Diggs?
Tet and worthy and keep Diggs?
Because I do have some concerns about Rice coming back
with how that affects works.
So that's, yeah.
Okay.
I think it'd be a good time to sell worthy.
Yeah, I think it could be.
I'm, I don't think I would have been with that had worthy not been hurt,
uh, week one, but I am at this point in the year.
So, um, yeah, I think I would, I think I would do that trade if I were used,
specifically because of the guys that you can start, uh, while you're waiting on CD.
So, so I guess bogs, I have your permission them to trade away scadaboo.
I guess if you have to.
actually kind of think it's a good time to sell eye on scataboo because i have legit concerns about
this giant's offense with no neighbors i mean he just he adds so much they're going to stack
the box and they don't have especially this week with slayton down i mean i think the giant's
offense could get ugly so we'll see dark should open them up but uh if you have to trade scadaboo
i guess now you know what if if you're trading scataboo in a deal to get you worthy or to get you
cd lamb excuse me
Find a way to do that deal.
That's what I say, even though I'm the biggest scataboo guy in the world.
So, uh, still likes CD Lamb way more.
So appreciate it.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate it.
You got to, uh, too.
I just wanted to say one thing, too, with, uh, Jordan Mason, just want to read off.
Like, so they're on a by week.
They have the Eagles at home and then it's at the chargers, at the lions.
And then you have Ravens and Bears.
Those are both home games.
So those are good matchup for Mason.
But by the time we're in week 10, Aaron Jones is probably back.
So that's, that's kind of what I meant with.
It's like, if those are right out of the by week, you'd be like, yes, like, this is perfect.
Mason, like he can be an Army one right after the by week.
But besides the Chargers, I mean, Eagles and Lions aren't necessarily the best running back
matchups.
And it just is unfortunate.
Now, he can still produce in those games, but not to the level or ranking that we had him
right after Aaron Jones got hurt when he was, what he was, R.B3 against the Bengals that week,
which is just going to be hard to project when Jones is back.
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, Mason is definitely a little bit better than I thought he was
coming into the year, but I'm, the schedule doesn't do them favors.
So like to earn that extra playing time, it's just going to be an uphill battle.
So let's go back to Plum.
Plum says they got their, they got the mic working again.
So we're bringing you back up, Plum.
Are you still, are you with us?
Plum, there you go.
Oh, it says, you just need to unmute your mic, it says.
Sorry, it's my first time doing this.
I'm learning as I'm going.
We got you.
We got you.
You're here.
I just had a quick question for you, boys.
I have the problem of having too much good on my team,
and I don't know who to start this week.
I'm in a 10-man, 10-man superflex with an additional flex instead of a defense.
So right now my starting receivers are J.S.N. and Devante Adams.
And then for my flex, I'm between George Pickens, T-Mack, or Quinshawn Judkins?
Ooh, good question here.
Who are you going between Pickens, T-Mack, and Judkins?
this week, Erickson.
I think it's got to be Pickens, right?
You only have so many weeks you can start him without C.D. Lamb.
So I think you just have to take advantage of those.
Dak is playing so well right now.
And it's a good problem to have.
I mean, you have three great options, but I would go with Pickens.
Yeah.
Pickens are the other one.
Yeah, that's the one I was the other one I was contemplating.
I definitely would do Pickens over Team Mac.
Same.
Both wide receivers.
I have him ranked just hired.
than Team Act this week.
I'm trying to see the bear.
And so the other thing, too, is like, and Bob, correct me if I'm wrong.
The Steelers defense shouldn't be as bad as it was to start the year because they're getting guys back.
Well, Derek Karmine came back in that London game.
And you saw the run defense improve a lot.
Yes.
So that's one thing to point out about their season long stats.
Oh, like they're so bad against the run.
Like, I don't know if that's necessarily going to translate now.
Judkins, it doesn't really matter with him.
he just gets so much volume and he's good, but they're not like a punching bag, I would say, against the run.
Tomlin's got a pretty good history against rookie starting quarterbacks as well.
That's also true.
So, yeah, I think I think it's Pickens.
Yeah, I'm okay with Pickens.
I love, I love Judkins because he's getting so much volume right now, right?
Yes, I think he has a really high floor.
Yeah, yeah.
So I think I would lean maybe slightly towards Judkins, but Pickens has a great matchup, no CD Lamb.
The upside is all there for Pickens.
So with the rest of your lineup being great and this being a flex spot, give me the upside.
I'll roll Pickens as well.
Okay.
And then just another lineup question.
Because I have all that good, something bad had to happen.
And I have Brock Bowers.
So I'm looking for some tight end help.
I picked up Goddair last week and he ended up scoring for me.
How do we feel about him tonight, though?
Goddard.
Yeah, I mean, Goddard is a good option.
Specifically against the Giants, teams like to pass.
against the Giants because their past defense is horrible.
They've had injuries to the linebacker core already.
I'm good with Roland Goddard.
What do you think, Erickson?
Yep, that's fine.
Okay, yeah, because my next best option would be Theo Johnson on the waivers,
and I'm just, I like the touchdown upside, but that's just about all he has.
Well, yeah.
Well, he actually led the Giants in first reads last week,
but we're not supposed to talk about Thursday night game because it's going to come out after that.
So, uh, oh, that's right. I apologize.
It's okay.
It's your first time.
You're good.
No, don't worry about it.
They're fairly even, too.
So like Goddard, uh, Theo Johnson.
It's kind of a coin flip.
So, uh, I am, uh, fine with you sticking with Goddard.
I, I would do that as well.
So thank you, Plum.
Great questions.
Great call.
Thank you.
We were so right.
Dallas got.
Oh my God.
Look at how right we were.
We were so good on that tight end call.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Johnson just like dropped three balls in the end zone.
Can you believe he did that?
I can't believe he did it.
The thing that he did?
Man, crazy.
Awesome, Dev.
What's going on?
Awesome.
What's up?
Hey, guys.
You hear me?
We got you.
All right.
Awesome.
I put my team in the chat just to help make this clear.
Got a couple of questions.
It's a Superflex, and I have a limit of only three quarterbacks here.
So I've lost Lamar for at least definitely this week, and I think they're going to hold him out until after the buy.
So I'm not getting him back until after the buy.
So I'm not getting him back until after.
After I guess week nine, I get him back.
So last week, T-Law pulled one out for me.
I couldn't believe he played the best I've ever seen.
And by tripping into the end zone for me, that worked out great.
But I can't trust that.
So I see that Mack Jones is on the wire.
And right now in my league, he's still listed as zero points because he's not technically the starter.
So I could grab him.
So I guess my question is, would we trust Mac Jones' to start?
start this weekend next to kind of get me through.
I think actually Lamar is by week seven.
So I only need it like for a couple of weeks.
So I guess my first question is,
is Mac Jones someone I can rely on for a couple of weeks?
What do you think of that, Erickson?
Are you relying on Mac here?
I think you could, I mean, in a Superflex,
you should have to pick them up, like regardless.
Like he's a starting quarterback that can be.
But he can only keep three QBs, Max.
Yeah, I would have to drop T.
law to make that happen. Oh, then no. Sorry, can't do it. Yeah. Yeah. It just doesn't have longevity.
Like, I, look, I get some people like want Mac Jones to be the court, like, it's not going to happen.
Like, I don't think it's going to happen. I think they're going to go back to per- they paid Purdy.
I think they're going to go back to him when he's healthy. Right. I would only need it for a couple,
because I have Drake May and Lamar is my main quarterback's, right? So I just need a floater.
You got to keep a floater. Yeah, because Lawrence is going to be, what are you going to do? Like,
Because, like, what if another quarterback gets hurt?
Like, you need to have another guy that's going to be.
Mac Jones's value could just evaporate if he's not playing.
And I know you said you can't trust it.
And I'm not going to sit here and try to sell people on Trevor Lawrence this deep into his career.
But I'll tell you something that I've been saying for his entire career is let him run.
And they finally did.
And they beat the Chiefs.
So maybe they're going to put more of that in the game plan.
You saw Baker do it with Liam Cohen in Tampa Bay.
So I think they're going to add that rushing element to just give them another piece in this offense because he did it in college.
I don't understand why Meyer and Doug Peterson never let him run.
It just made no sense.
So hopefully Cohen is releasing the reins on that a little bit.
And he's just a guaranteed starter in a league where you can only keep three.
You drop him.
He's like number one waiver priority for somebody.
Yeah.
And that's been holding me back on that.
So one thought I have is like I have Chuba in my IR.
So at some point they're going to mark Lamar's out.
I can swap him into my IR and then do like, if I can wait that long,
is Mac Jones still a starter over T-Law this week?
If I can make that happen?
Yeah.
So like Lamar doesn't count as one of your three quarterbacks if he's on injured.
Exactly.
I can pop in the IR and then I open up a QB spot.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just do that.
You should have started with that.
Well, it's not available yet.
Well, when you can do it, do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And here's why I didn't start with that.
So I have a five running back limit in this league, too.
So it's like you're in this league, you're playing with an anchor.
And Woody and Menangai are on the wire.
And I'm wondering, do I drop one of my guys to pick up either Woody or Menongai or just leave that alone?
Just dump Hunter Henry.
Because you have Tucker crap.
I have a five running back limit, so that doesn't matter.
Yeah.
The limits are killing me here.
but this is like one of my first leagues ever,
so I've been played with these guys forever.
No, it's a good...
But wait a minute,
but aren't we dumping Hunter Henry
to pick up Mack Jones?
No.
Well, you're doing...
He's dumping a running bag, I think.
Oh, we have to dump a running back.
I would have to dump a running back
to put Chub it back on my bench
to make room for Lamar and the guy.
Yeah, this is chess.
We're playing chess here.
Then it's Kendry Miller.
So...
Like, that's the last guy, yeah,
because you're not dropped in Charbonnet or Trayvion Anderson.
You dump Kendri.
You dump Kendrae Miller, stick Lamar on the IR, and then switch him with your phone,
and then pick up Mac Jones for Hunter Henry.
Yep, that's what I would do.
And then one final question in this league, and this will be an easy one, I promise.
I have Shakir on my bench.
Both Coker and Bourne are available on the wire.
Would I grab either one of those over, Shakir?
Nope.
No.
Stick with Shakir.
That's it.
All right, Dev.
Appreciate you guys.
No other wide receiver anchor limits?
There's six.
But you know what?
I can't have everything.
So there I'm fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, you're done.
Only one guy named Khalil on a team at a time, I believe.
Yeah, the other one.
All right.
So we have five minutes left.
Four people.
We're going to go lightning round here on the questions because I do have to get out of here.
Right on time.
So, Ronan, you are up first, my friend.
What do you have for us?
Just a sit start for my two flex positions.
Carter, E.TN, Charbonnet, or Dobbs, and a half-P-R league.
Carter, ETN, Sharbs, and Dobbs.
How many to start?
Two.
Two.
E-TN.
And then probably, so it was Dobbs, Carter, and then, so probably, probably do Charbonnet.
Probably do ETN-Sharpeney.
I'd go E-N-C-N-Carter, but.
We're, well, Erickson is higher on Sharbs and I'm higher on Carter.
So, but I would definitely go E.TN as well.
So.
Appreciate it.
You got it, Ronan.
Thank you, my friend.
Moon.
Moon.
Moon.
Moon.
Moon.
Hey, can I hear me?
We got you.
Yes.
Okay, cool.
I made a trade a couple weeks ago for Derek Henry.
It was Scataboo and Dobbins.
And, of course, my trade department taunted me this last week saying,
are you happy to make that trade?
I think down the road, they'll have more positive game scripts.
I see two games against Cincinnati for playoff time.
Am I being delusional?
Or do you think he's going to have a little bit of a bounce back?
I mean, you probably overpaid a little in that deal,
specifically if Scataboo is going to be the starter for the Giants the rest of the year.
But Dobbins breaks down.
I think you're right.
I think, come playoff time, you're going to be happy that you have Derek Henry.
What do you think, Erickson?
Yeah, I think this guy might be singing a different tune later in the year.
I mean, victory laughing after one week of a trade.
You'd be like, oh, yeah, like, really glad you made that trade.
Well, like, you know, well, you could set him your fantasy football championship after week 17
and see how it feels about that.
Is this your first day?
Yeah, I mean, that feels like a first day move because it seems like the universe will
humble you whenever you do stuff like that.
Yes, exactly.
That's couldn't, yeah, that perfect way to say it.
Thank you, Moon.
Great question, my friend.
Thank you.
You got it.
Let's see, we've got rice pudding.
What a great name.
Rice Puddin.
What's going on?
It looks like your mic is muted.
There we go.
What's up, fellas?
What's going on?
Puddin, how we do?
Doing well.
How are you?
Great.
I just got a few quick ones here for you.
So Haskins or Charbonnet in my second flex position.
Charbonnet?
Charbonnet over Hatton.
Hampton.
I got Hampton, so he's down.
Charbonnet.
Charbonnet.
I think I'm going to go with Haskins, but you know what?
You know what you have in Sharps.
That's what I'll say there.
So it might go to the upside, but you know what you have in Sharps.
Okay.
And then what is that?
Gattaboo or Henry?
Who or Henry?
Scataboo.
Scatibu or Henry.
I'm going to Henry.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
Okay.
And then Scataboo or Camaras?
Camaras banged up.
Got to be Scataboo.
Okay.
And then that's it.
That's it.
Thank you, guys.
I appreciate it.
You have a great death.
Guys are killing it at the lightning round here.
Appreciate that.
Divi are one more.
Lightning round.
Not even a question, just a thank you for the trade earlier of Tet plus rice for CDM
Pearsall because I just shipped them and got puka.
Oh, okay.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Yeah, this is, I always mentioned this metaphor or whatever, but it's like, what was that
game that you played in elementary or middle school where you start out with a pencil
and you have to trade up and whoever traded for the best thing at the end of the month
or whatever was the winner.
Somebody in my class got like all the way up to like a car with that.
I started with a pencil and started.
I was like, how did you do this?
Like, you know, you can't wrap $100 bills on the pencil, you know what I mean?
And, uh, but yeah, that is.
Yeah.
Yes.
I feel like I just did that.
So now my four receivers are, and I always on a receiver fan.
So hookah, Json, drink London, and a book.
Oh, man.
All right.
Well, good luck, rest of the league.
RIP, your opponent.
Yeah.
My Lord.
Uh, great work, Diviar.
And by the way, if you guys want to buy any of Diviar's essential oils, he's going to start
selling them pretty soon here, I think, because
he is a snake oil salesman.
But, hey, that is everything for
us today on the extra point.
Erickson, let everybody know what you got coming
up and what they should be
looking for going into
week six from you.
Yeah, just all the content. You have
