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. What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast, The Extra Point. I am the Welsh. That is Andrew Erickson, and we are here for you with a live audience that is going to be raised in their hands, asking us questions and producing this show. Erickson and I are here with nothing, except our brains, our mouths, and answers for you. That's it. So you guys got to bring it. You guys produce the. the best show ever, or maybe not, but it's on you. We also have a chat, which we might, we can answer some questions from there,

but we are just going to be hitting it up on our Fantasy Pros Discord, and we would love for you guys to be a part of it in the future. Come and join it at Fantasypros.com slash chat. You can do it for free. There's a bunch of free elements of the Discord. I think you just have to have, like, the free Fantasy Pros account to sign up. Fantasypros.com slash chat. Get in the community with tons and tons of different rooms.

Plus, we've got like podcast, just like this. Worm and Fits, Boggs and Fits. the first and third Tuesday of every single month is where you guys can find us here. Me and Erickson, Thursday's at 2 p.m. Eastern. We're always here for you doing the extra point. So come and get your question answered and be on the show at fantasyprose.com slash chat. Hello, Andrew Erickson. How are you?

I'm doing fantastic. Big win for the Pats last night. Hammered the New York Jets. So feeling good, man. Ready for week 11? trade deadlines are approaching. So kind of nice to kind of shift away from buy low, sell high and just into, hey, rest of season. Like, is this guy going to help me in the playoffs?

Do I drop this guy? Apparently it's landmine season where, okay, time to drop Debo. Samuel has a landmine for somebody else. So like, apparently that's like where we're kind of entering that type of territory. So yeah, ready to chop it up, baby. Landmine season, I like that. Just completely dumping out on some of the players. Yeah, not Levin Debo.

So you guys got rank questions. We can do that. We're coming off of the rank show that Erickson and I did with Fitsy, a whole bunch more, whether it's trades, this and that. We've also got tools if you come in with the inevitable, Hey guys, here's my roster. What do you think I should do? Well, I think you should sync it up with fantasy pros

and it can help you aggregate some of the best stuff. But, you know, there might be some players that are top of mind and we will get to all of that. All right, let's get to the questions. Let's see where our people are at. And first up on the show today is try it. That's a new name. Try it. Come on down and what do you got? Try it. We got you. What's up, dude? Awesome. Okay, I know you said no Thursday night question. This is not, this is a...

The fantasy gods are hurting you here. We lost your connection there. You were about to be like, I know you said no Thursday, but you were going to finagle some version of a Thursday. Don't do it. Erickson's not in the mood. Erickson said he's ready. to like dump people if they bring up Thursday night football. So don't even mention a name, but you're also muted. So we love, oh, there you go.

Yeah, we got you. Well, I just traded for Pearsall. And because of a couple injuries and trades, I'm looking at Pearsall digs and Pidman for the rest of the season. I just was wondering if you guys would rank those three for me

rest of season and what you guys think about Pierce all moving forward. Oh, Yeah, it was a great question. That had nothing to do with this week. I know you put Diggs in there, try it, but you totally did it. So Pittman, it's a valid question. It's a great question.

Pyrsall digs, Pittman, rest of season. Pierrissol did get into practice this week. I am pessimistic that he's going to play this week in favor of him going next, but there's always a possibility. So assuming we're going to kind of have Pirsall back, Diggs is definitely kind of the alpha, as you have been calling it. Pitman kind of feels like the bottom ring of this, but I'm going to rank this Diggs-Persall-Pitman.

I kind of want to say Pearsall at the top, but I think his injury questions are too great. That's going to be my ranking. What is yours, Andrew Erickson? I have it as Diggs, Pitman, Pearsall. Piercell is just hard to age because he hasn't played since week four, I think. You still don't know when he's coming back.

We don't know what the state of the 49ers' receiver room when he does eventually come back. So. But don't you feel like he's, don't you feel like he's at least coming back next week if he's like practicing this week and, you know what I mean? I think so.

Then again, Pittman has also been pretty steady this year. I know that he has a lot of touchdowns, but Michael Pittman Jr. has been overdue for touchdowns through his entire career, right? So eventually he was going to have a double digit touchdown season, which it seems like is going to be playing out this year.

Obviously, Alex Pierce has taken a larger role. We still like Josh Downs, Tyler Warren's obviously the beast. So a lot of mouths to be in that Colts offense. So I do think there's a scenario where Ricky Pearsall could overtake Pitman, but I think it's also coming with a lot more risk. Where Pittman, you kind of know what you have, right? He's a solid receiver.

I think Pearsall maybe has a higher ceiling. I'm not sure if that's, you think that's right? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You can emerge as the number, like the clear cut number one guy, but then you also layer in, well, what about? that by you comes back. So Pearsall definitely has a way more question mark. So I guess for me, it's if you really want to kind of shoot for the moon,

I guess it would be Pearsall over Pittman. And it's probably a deal you could make. You could probably trade Pittman just to get Pearsall right now, just based on the body work so far. But if you need more of a steady asset, that's Michael Pittman for you and not necessarily Pearsall, who has not been reliable this season. All right, Maddie's ships. Come on down, Maddie.

What you got for us. It was a good question. Trey did a great job, by the way. What's that, Maddie? So I have some tight end questions here. So currently rolling out Ertz versus Miami. I'm pretty confident about that this week. But after that, it's a buy, and then it's kind of like a crapshoot.

So I feel like after this week, don't really want to use them. I picked up Loveland. I also have Theo and Strange out there. My question is, do I just kind of forget about the Miami Macs? matchup this week and like drop earths for uh any of fanning theo or strange and then just kind of roll with them to going forward um i was also offered mcbride for saiquan and earths and i don't know if that's something that i should consider i just can't really look past sayquan's juicy schedule rest of the season after detroit so yeah let's do the the pickups and

well no let's do the trade i'm not doing that trade i'm not trading saiquan for for Trey McBride, specifically because of who you, one of the guys you say it's available. Erickson, I feel like you are going to trade Saquan for McBride. Okay. So you're shaking your head. Yes. You're doing that trade. I'm McBride.

How many wide receivers are going to see more targets than McBride over the next? How about this? Matt, who would your other running backs be once you traded Sequan? This is going to sound ridiculous. So I have McCaffrey, uh, Jivante, and then I have Hampton. Jesus, dude. Seems like he's going to be fine. Yeah, I think you're going to be fun.

Okay, maybe I do make that trade now that you say that. I mean, McBride's going to have 35 targets this week. And that fixes your tight end problem. It does. My only hold up with that is that like I felt like the drop off between like replacement level tight end is different than the drop off level of because I'm basically going from Sequin to like Christian Watson or like Kishan booty. So like the drop off there I feel like is kind of like I'm a little bit worried about that. That's the only thing. I'm still a little like, I don't know if I want to do that.

I definitely think you can do that trade. But here's the reason why I like don't love doing that trade is you said Fanon out there. I don't, I'm done with Ertz. If Daniels is not around, I'm not with Zach Ertz. We broke up. So I'm starting, you said somebody, I'm starting Loveland over him, but I'm more specifically starting Fanon over him. So like I would dump Ertz for Fanon right now if you're uncomfortable making that move.

I am with you. I'm a little bit uncomfortable because the one thing you get is you get dominant running backs, dude. You're going to have McCaffrey, Sequin, and Javante Williams, assuming he's the flex.

If Hampton comes back, you've got a glut of riches. I think you can do the McBride trade. I'm going to say I'm sticking with Barclay. Erickson's making the move. But Erickson, if he wanted to stick with Barclay, would you dump Ertz for Fanon or Loveland?

Or I guess he has Loveland, but what would you do? Yeah. I would not hesitate to dump any of those guys moving away from Earths. One no part of Earths, don't care. Honestly, Earth's going to be playing the Bengals this week, and it may not matter without Jade and Daniels. He just doesn't have any upside.

He's a 36-year-old tight end. Can I ask you something? I was just talking with Scott Bogman about this. I'm just not here for the Marriota rank this week. I just don't, like, I don't get it. I understand, like, logically I understand. like it's like, oh, it could be like a shootout and the lions and their defense and stuff. No.

Marriota, Marita does have one top 12 finish and it was last week. It was on the rushing touchdown. He's 13 on ECR this week. I can't come to terms with starting Marietta over Sam Darnold. I don't care if it's the ram. Sam Darnold finds ways to get 300 yards every single freaking week. Gough even. Aaron Rogers was bad, but it's like same token.

he's got a matchup that looks okay. J.J. I just, I don't get the Marcus Marriota thing. And I guess it's the rushing upside. I'm not doing it. Are you? I mean,

I got them right where ECR is. Hate it. It's, it's, I get why you hate it. But if he just scores a rushing touchdown, then it's, and then he's going to finish it.

Okay. Right? That's why it's so hard to bet against these rushing quarterback sometimes because they can get it done in one easy play, especially if, let's say they're getting blown out. They don't have,

It's not like they're going to take Marriota out of the game. Right. Like he's going to stay in the game and pick up rushing yards. And so I almost feel like you could be proven right process-wise. And then you watch the fourth quarter in Spain. And Marietta puts a bunch of garbage points. And then you feel, you feel icky. Because I thought the process was right, fade Marietta.

But then you look at the box go, you're like, this isn't fair. But this is how fantasy works. So I agree, though, that I guess I wouldn't push back with Rogers over Mariotta. Roger's through for four touchdown if he's in the Bengals, right? What about McCarthy? Got the Bears? I'm McCarthy over Marriota.

What about Darnold? So I'm there with you with that one. Not Donald. Not against the Rams. Not against that pass rush. Can't do it. Quick passes. JSN all day long, baby.

He also doesn't run. Yeah, I guess that's true. I don't know. It's just, that's my question. No, but I think it's a interesting. Mariotta is also not like this highly coveted fantasy. quarterback. So I think that if you are going to take a stand, he's probably a good player to take a stand again. So I will tip my hat to you when you finish top 10 and quarterback ranking.

Down with Mary. Oh, do I have my under for the week? I've been doing on the betting pro show, I have my weekly under, one under. And I think, I mean, I'm setting myself up 100% for failure now. But I think I'm three or four straight weeks on at least my under bet hitting. So I will see if there's something with Marriota that I like for the down. Red beard. Red beard. My beard's getting very white gray beard here, but red beards in the house. What's up? What's going on, y'all? What up?

What do you got? So, I got, are we putting R.J. Harvey 100% in with J.K. Dobbins out this week. Is he a smash start? Not a smash because it's a Chiefs, but what are the, yeah, what are the other options? Like, what's the between? I need. All right, I need to start for the flex three of them. Harvey, E.T.N. Metcalf, Woody Marks, Addison, or I could even, and Brian Thomas Jr. if he ends up playing.

Okay. You got to do it one more time because you're starting three, two running backs and a flex? No, they're all flex. They can be however is needed. Oh, okay. I've got it, they run, this dynasty league, we got four flex. So I got Harvey, E.E.N. you're starting eton okay yeah yeah kreve metcalf harvey metcalf et n marks adison and thomas junior if he plays okay uh i mean you got a bunch of guys that are in the same kind of

vicinity i think i'm starting marks over harvey right now and then it's like metca okay two spots i think it's metcalf marks or harvey i think that's the decision here and what do you think ericson you can tell me otherwise if you disagree but Metcalf Marks Harvey 2 for 2 because we're starting you're agreeing like E.TN is like that's the top dog here yeah okay so ETN's our top dog so now you got to start DK Metcalf Harvey Marks and you only get two

Marks is by the way 23 on ECR Harvey is 24 Marks has Tennessee Harvey has the Kansas City Chiefs and Metcalf is going up against the Bengals yeah this is interesting because I didn't think I would want Marks ahead of Harvey, but I do have them bring back to back. I have Harvey one spot ahead, but as I'm thinking about this in real time,

Marks has already gotten the 80% Snapchat work. And it's always entirely, we talked about this on the rank show where we could see more Nick Chubb, if it's a positive game script, but we've seen the willingness of the Texans to give Woody Marks all the work, essentially. Whereas Sean Payton can say, whatever he wants.

He said this week, oh, we're going to give more opportunities to R.J. Harvey. Does that mean he gets 10 opportunities instead of seven that he's seen basically every single week? It's funny.

Worm messaged me on Slack. It was like, asked me like a start sick question. And one of the guys was Harvey. And I was like, Worm, when in doubt, like,

don't believe anything Sean Payton says. So I think it's close enough where I'm going to update my ranks and I think it is marks for me over Harvey. And then Metcalf, I think just has a lot of upside anytime you face the Bengals.

Like that is a high outcome potential even if, I mean, again, it's possible the touchdowns go elsewhere. But if Rogers throws four touchdowns, chances are Mekhev probably has a decent day at the office. So yeah, unfortunately, this is a spot where I want to start Harvey this week. But I think those are other options where I don't think I would be doing that. Yeah, even if it was like, you're like, okay, I don't believe Peyton and stuff. It's also a horrifically bad matchup against the chiefs. Like that's the other thing on top of it that makes it not great.

So maybe he can be involved in the passing game. The thing that Marks has is he's got the snaps. He's got a bad team, of course. But he's also heavily going to be involved in the receiving game. And I'm going to go Marks and Metcalf as well over Harvey. So that would say he's not a smash start. And Marks has already, I guess for me it's like marks has passed the test already. He's already gotten the snaps.

He's already faced the Titans and already played well against them. So Harvey is so much more of our projection where we're like hoping that he sees this bigger role. and he's able to overcome the Chiefs. More hopium with Harvey than what marks where it's like, dude, as long as they just don't like give Nick Chub like 20 carries, we should be locking in top 24 production. So yeah, Marks.

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 a podcast. 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 the 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 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 iOS on the iPads. Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Jared Adano. 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 that. 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 Hippocrite,

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. Cream a chicken suit. Hey, 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 My Cultura podcast. Network available on the IHartRadio

app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ 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 to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah. 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. I Devo. A Devo's in the house. What's up? What you got? Unmute. Oh, they almost had that mistake there.

Two questions. One week 11, one kind of future. Week 11, I got Pierce and O'Leve on by, so I need a flex. Do I play shoulder? in my flex, assuming he plays, or do I pick up my options are Tyler Lockett, Michael Wilson, really? So this is Schultz in the Flex or Lockett or Michael Wilson?

Yeah. Okay. I actually kind of like Michael Wilson this week. Boggs likes Tyler Lockett. Michael Wilson is going to be the number one receiver for Brissette against the San Francisco 49ers. I have a really bad secondary. Schultz is going to get a gazillion targets.

If he's out there, I want to go to Michael Wilson on this one. I don't know if I love starting tight ends. I will say, though, Davis Mills loves Schultz, and there is touchdown equity. Him being banged up a little bit worries me, but Michael Wilson's going to get peppered with targets.

I have no problem going with Schultz, though, but what do you think, Erickson? What do you think has the highest ceiling? Would be Wilson against the 49ers if he really can take on the wide receiver one. Because I know the 49ers also are bad against slot receivers. So I know that's kind of like Greg.

That's Greg Dorch's kind of, No pass rush. No pass rush whatsoever for Berset, no line defense. Like that's a good way you put it because the upside is Michael Wilson becomes a true number one. And it's like six for 90 in a score. Schultz is your floor because he's going to get, if he's out there, he's getting eight targets. It might only be, you know, six catches for 45 yards. There is some touchdown equity.

So it's a little bit of a risk, but I like the risk of Michael Wilson on this one. Yeah, I agree. Look at us. Look at these agreeing guys. here. Winner is up here with a Michael Pennix emoji too. What's up, dude?

I got two flex spots, right? And I have Ferguson, Bowers, and Metcalf. And my tight end one is McBride. So I'm trying to see

if I start Bowers and Ferguson or do I slip in Metcab instead of Ferguson? But Metcalf has just been rough. Dude, you guys start tight ends and you have all of your team's got to hate you. By the way, his emoji was just, I was just mesmerized by it was a velociraptor that just kept like coming at us that whole time. But dude, he's got all the tight ends.

He's got three of the top like six tight ends on his team. You got to make a trade, man. That's not, that's going to just be a pain. Especially because you already have McBride. You already have the best one. You can trade Bowers? Yeah, trade any of them. Yeah, I don't hate that.

All right, but besides the trade, I think we can agree on that. You're going to start all the tight ends or Metcalf over. I think I'm going to go Metcalf over Ferguson in that instance, but it's not far off. Yeah, Bowers are not lost. It's the Bengals, man. Like, you've got to start everyone against the Bengals, and someone's going to score 30 points. Yeah. And if it's, you know, 33% chance it's,

Metcalf. So you got to take that. You got to take that type of upside shot. What a combination his emoji was too. It was Michael Pennix and then a Veloc, or I don't even know that it's a Velociraptor. It's actually the Raptor with the like gills that comes out and I think it spits at you. I don't remember what that one is called. But raptors and Pennix and winners, that was, that was a vibe, dude. All right. TCB. What's up? Hey, I received an offer of T. Higgins for Woody Marks. seems like I should obviously accept it I am playing this guy this week

and he is pretty desperate at RB2 other than that so is there any reason I shouldn't just auto accept this deal? Let's do a little backwork real quick. What are your running backs? The other running backs I have on my roster are Bucky Trevion,

Ampton, Bidal and Monong guy. This week in particular, I'd start Henderson and the doll. Yeah, because everybody else is hurt. All right, then what are your receivers? Drake London, Tett, Brian Thomas, Jr. and Tess Johnson. Take Higgins. Okay, but, okay, yes. Okay, but the last thing.

What are his running backs? His running backs are James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Rashad White, Devin Singletary. Okay. I thought there was like a poison pill type of thing where like he was, he were going to say one good player and then it was absolute trash. And then you could kind of screw him over with like having to start, you know, I don't know, Mari DiMarcato or something like that.

He actually has decent options. Sounds like you need the wide receiver pretty desperately. So I'm in agreement. I'm going to just say yes. I just thought we might be able to finagle this and be like, ah, screw you, buddy. You can't have what he marks. You're going to have nobody to start. he's got dudes to start.

So better your team. Yeah, better team, dude. No problem. All right. Cordy, Cordy's in the house. What's up? Unmute.

Hey, guys. How's it going? Good, dude. Good. So I feel like a trade merchant right now. I've got three trades and they all depend on one going through. I have a pretty good receiver core. And I have,

I'm hurt at RB2. So at the end of this, I'm looking to get either rice or London and turn them into a Giovante for. And so my question is, who do you have higher rice or London rest of season? Wait a minute. You're going to take rice in London and then trade them for Javante Williams? So it's rice or London. It's not. Yeah, yeah.

No, I understand that. But you're going to take one of those wide receivers and then trade that wide receiver to get Javante Williams? It's going to be Javante, Sutton, Robinson. and Gadsden. Who's Robinson? Wondale Robinson. So, okay, so you're going to trade this, because those two receivers are the best players in the trade.

So you're going to then take like an elite player and then you're going to do a volume trade to get like Wondale and stuff. So is your main question which of the two receivers we want? Yeah, like who would you guys rather have for the rest of the season, Rice or London? Right. because rice okay because but you're going to trade away a one of them one of them that's i'm trying

to figure out who i want oh oh but trade london yeah i'm sorry i thought you were like trading for one of those guys and then you were going to immediately trade them for the volume you will have one of those guys and then you're trading the correct yeah got yeah so it's my my receiver core is going to be omon raw rice or london and then whoever i end up keeping the other's going to go away for Javante and that that volume deal. What was it? Give me one more time the guys you were going to get Javante. I.

Javante Williams, Cortland, Sutton, Wondell Robinson, and Arande Gadsden. Are you hurting a tight end and running back? Yeah, I had Tucker. He unfortunately went out. And so I picked up Loveland. And that's all I've got. Okay. Yeah, I'm just never the biggest fan of those like great elite player for

volume type of stuff. Javante's a really great getting there. What do you think about all that, Erickson? You said you're trading London for this, but do you like the idea of that trade and getting those pieces? If you need depth, yeah. I think this is always roster dependent, whether, hey, I need more guys because I can't score enough points because all my depth is terrible.

Usually in a vacuum, we always want the best players. Like you kind of goes without saying, but in this particular instance, it's not like you're getting a bag of balls back. Those are all useful players. Gadsden's a top five-ish titan. Javante's the top 12 to 14 running back. And then he gets Wondale and Sutton. Yeah.

Those guys are, they're not like auto starts, but usually you're starting them every week unless, oh, it's a really bad matchup. I got to make a swap. Usually you're starting Sutton and Wondale most of the time. So I think that it's fair. And yeah,

I have Rice one spot ahead of London. I like both guys, obviously, but you'd rather have Holmes, number one. I'm glad you said that because it seemed like how you said it, you were like, Rice, like that London wasn't in there. And I'm like, I don't know, man. Like as long as Rice is healthy out there, he's balling out right now. London.

London seems like he's balling out there right now. So like I think there's an argument that London's the top dog even over Rice, but the offense is better with the Chiefs, of course. Yeah, that's just that's where I'd rather be. I know that I'm more likely to get burned if I lose Rice probably in the homes and get, guy can throw four touchdowns, 300 yards. any given week. Michael Pennix, not so much. Okay. JJ, premium member, Fantasy Pros, Discord. What's up? Hey, guys. What's up? What up, dude?

So kind of a similar question to the Michael Pennix dinosaur guy. I have a roster where I've got Brock Bowers and Ferguson. And so I was wondering if it's worth holding on to both of those guys and using one as a flex consideration or if I should trade one of those tight ends away. And then if so, which one would you want to trade away? Like, who do you think you could get more for Ferguson or Bowers? Well, you definitely can get more for Bowers. Like, I think it's not even in the same ballpark. You can get more.

But like, do you want to do that, Erickson? Like, you were adamant because it was McBride, Bowers, and Ferguson. This is like a little bit different. If you trade Bowers, you're leaving the elite tight-in market. You're still a great one, but you're leaving the elite tight-end market. if you keep Ferguson and trade Bowers, or I guess if you do the inverse, Ferguson's just not going to come close to the return that Bowers is going to have. And there's maybe an element of like, what's the point of trading?

Because like I think a Ferguson trade is going to look like crappy. Like you have to buy like a Monong guy, like you hope he's going to bounce back or something like that. So what's your take on this? I think I would probably trade Bowers in this situation because you're going to get more for him. And although I agree that Bowers is a tier above Ferguson, on a week-to-week basis, when Dak Prescott is your quarterback,

we've seen Ferguson put up elite weeks. So it's not the consistency level that is with Bowers, but you could argue that with Gino Smith, the consistency is not even there with Bowers. We have two games last with Bowers. One with three touchdowns where he was an absolute monster, and then one with one catch for 31 yards. So I think that I would rather kind of take the roller coaster with Ferguson,

because I've just seen the ceilings with DAC, and that can be really helpful in the fantasy postseason where you can still dut out with Bowers because he's attached to the Raiders and Geno Smith and they're banged up offensive line. And going back to what you get more for, you're going to get a good asset back for Brock Bowers where to your point,

you're not going to get really much for anything for Jake Ferguson because it is a little bit more of a crowded receiver room in Dallas. So that's what I would do, and I would just go to, you'll get the most for Bowers if you find the weakest tight end manager. That's how you do it. You don't look for a player. We talked about this on the trade show with Worm.

It was actually with Bucky Irving. And it's no, or with Rashad White, it's, no, you're not trading Rashad White for a certain running back or wide receiver. You're trading Rashad White to the Bucky Irving manager because that's where you're going to get the most for him. And in this case, you trade Brock Bowers to the team that has the worst tight end. So whoever lost Tucker Kraft, those are the types of trades in the types of approaches you should do.

So that's what I would recommend. Would you take George Pickens for Bowers? So you'd double down on the Dallas guys. I think that's probably the right ballpark. Probably have to think about more. Nico Collins. I don't want Nico. You want George Pickens over Nico?

Jalen Waddle. Waddle would be the ding, ding, ding, right answer. Okay. And then like Egbuka would obviously be a guess. So Wadle might. What about Ladd? Yes. Okay, so swim in the Ladd-Waddle waters for Bowers if you're doing that.

So, all right, we worked it through. Great job. You know, fun fact about Lad, you know what his real name is? Real name's not Ladd. No. His real name is Andrew. Is his real last name not Mekonki? Is it Mick Erickson?

No, his real last name is McConkey. His middle name is Lad. But apparently him and his siblings, they only go by their middle names. Weird. That's it. There's a baseball player out here. and the Arizona Falla guy and his name was Parks

and I was like is that short for Park my son's name is Parker I'm like is that short for Parker he's like it's my middle name and I was like oh it's just the name thing is so weird kids these days

kids these days they don't like call me by my middle name yeah well there's also I got this there's this baseball player named Bubba Chandler and someone to text me

they're like do you know Bubba's real name and I'm like the only Bubba I know is my buddy Casey Bubba and his real name is Brian and I'm like is it Brian and he's like you'll never guess

it's Roy and I'm like how do you go from Roy to Bubba Like those nickname, those middle nicknames, they really throw you off there. But you know what? You want to know a fun fact? Scott Bogman goes by his middle name. His real first name is not Scott.

So there you go. Even us oldies are out there. You're not going to tell me, though. I'll tell you off air. I'll tell you off air. People got a guess, but his, yeah, behind the scenes here. But it's not, who did you just say? What was Lads?

Andrew. It's not Andrew, though. Andrew, yeah. How did he get to Latt? Where is his middle name, Latt? Andrew Lade McConkey? Yes, that's a full official name. I thought Ladd would have been short for something.

Laddithin? Latifur? Something like that? Maybe it's Jorge. Jorge's the lefty is out. What's up, Jorge? Hey, guys. So since dialing in, you guys have probably been eight and one in the last three weeks.

Yo, nice. So kind of going from desperation to playoff plans. I'm going to paste on my lineup quick. This is the league I'm 5 in. and it's like a seven-way tie for second. Okay. So what I'm trying to figure out is good news with Bucky, potentially coming back.

I'm not expecting him to be back this week. So stuck with Canaan and Sharbs as RV2 options. Don't love either, you know, who they're up against this week. So trying to figure out if it makes sense to look elsewhere. So I have some options for you. There's Spears available, Tucker, and Singletary. Would you pick up anyone,

of those three versus run K-9 or Sharbs as your RB2? Nope. I don't like any of them. Singletary is just speculative with where the offense is going to go. You got to throw K-9 out there. That's my, I mean, Sharbs has got some touch on equity, but I'm throwing Ken Walker out there.

Eirks, and you agree? Yeah, I think that this is going to be a probably different type of, because the last two games you've seen from the C-Ox have been two blowouts. So against the Rams, you're expecting more of a back-and-forth type of contest where, look, I think Ken Walker still the best running back on that team. I know that the fantasy points haven't really followed that. And I think Charbonnet is good at certain things in his own right.

But if they're in a trailing game script, I feel like they're going to need their most explosive players on the field. And I think that is Ken Walker. So he can always rip off a big play and they might need him a little bit more. And they won't be able to just kind of bag Zach Charbonnet with some of these red zone opportunity. so I definitely would K with Walker. Only slight one, Jorge, I might look into,

and this has to happen. I'm still not sure if I love it, but if Bam Knight doesn't play, I kind of don't hate DeMarcato if he's alone in that backfield against the 49ers. So if he's floating out there, that might be one I look at. Do you have a middle name?

Do you have a middle name yet? Okay. I ask that because I don't have ever told this story before. my dad passed away before I was born, very sad, two months before I was born. So like I didn't, you know, I didn't obviously know my dad and stuff, but I remember looking at, I think it was birth certificate, one of the certificate, not trying to be all downer here, but there's a joke to this. And I'm looking and because my middle name is his first name. And I'm looking to like, you know, see the stuff. And I look and I see his middle name. It says NMN. So for about,

10 years, I thought his middle name was Nimnan. Nimnan. I come to find out, Andrew Erickson, that means no middle name. And I thought, I was like, I wonder if the family side was Nimnan. Where did Nimnan come from? NEMN is not a middle name. And a poor 10-year-old did not know this. So I went a long time being like, I was such a fascinating middle name.

It's just no middle name. So there's some people that have no mental names out there. I don't know anyone that doesn't. Except for Nimnan. That's funny. It's such a like a child mistake. Like such an honest like innocent mistake. Like nobody directed you in any other direction until like,

no, saying it. And then people's like, is there something wrong? Yeah. Well, like it wasn't like I was like asking the question. I looked. I'm like,

that's so interesting. And then I just kind of kept it to myself. And for a long time, I just kind of rolled with that. And then, you know, then you find out. Yeah, it's like if no one's going to tell you otherwise, like how are you supposed to know, like what is right and what's wrong when it comes to that?

You just, you read it, you thought, oh, that's interesting. Yeah, and I never, I've never heard anybody else that has had that specific story. So that is a very well-specific story for Nimnan. Yes. I bet you're not the only one. If someone has- You're the only one that's going to admit it, though. I have no problem.

Yeah, I would love to know. If someone else has ever had that and thought Nimnan, please let me know so I don't feel like the singular idiot. of the world. Otherwise, I will just be on a world of my own. Sorry, Jorge, I booted you off. You had another question. No, you're good. So the other one is, I know Auden. Autumn is pretty solid for me last week, but this

week, maybe not as much. Trying to figure out if I should stream Fanon in Joku, Musgrave, or Freemuth, compared to Auden if you had to pick one of those guys. Was that your last one before I boot you? I have one more. Okay, I'm going to go to get a quick trade one.

Otten, for sure. Too much volume, he's saying. Too much volume. Fanon would be the one I'd be interested in, but yeah, Otton's going to get too much volume there, especially if Godwin and Bucky are still out, like we're still kind of wheels up with Otton for sure. What was your last one? Got it. So last one, I've kind of pulled together a dream team right now, and I'm trying to consolidate for the playoffs. So running back, I've got Gentie, Giovante, Dowdell, and then Sharbs, wide receiver, Jefferson, London, Rice, QJ, and Alave. I'm trying to figure out where to

consolidate because I'm going to the playoffs. I have an option to pick up Chase. They're asking what I can offer. I'm thinking would Jefferson and Amica doubt will be too much? Or do you think maybe like a Gentileile be worth it for? I like a gentie and alave. Rico and Jefferson is way too much. You're borderlining

like lateral movement with Jefferson to Chase. I know Chase gets like a slight bump, but to give up like a top 10 running back, that's too much. Gentile and Olive is a pretty slow. Start there and see where they go with it. Because if you go up Jefferson, you shouldn't give up a whole lot more. And really, frankly, I think the point of that would be to like try to pair Jefferson and, um, and chase together. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Team morale matters, right? That's why you got to add guys onto your injured reserve that are just like vibes. I mean, Tucker, if I make to my fantasy championships, I'm putting Tucker Kraft on IR. Like, he's coming with me. I feel like our pros trip is, uh, to New Orleans. We should all have just Chase and Jefferson jerseys.

That's what they should get us. What would you pick? I'm Halton Jefferson. I'm a Jefferson guy. So let's go. I can't like gritty or anything like that. We're not going to do that. Nimnan. Nimnan, no gritties for me. Out of bounds on Mondays, 2 p.m. Eastern. It's Bogman, myself, and Joe Pizapia. And it's on Twitch. Twitch.tv slash fantasy pros. And we're not the only show in town. Me and Bogman, we got one to two hours streams 12 p.m. Eastern on Tuesdays. Seth and D. Bro got you Thursdays. and Fridays at 1 and 2 p.m. Eastern.

Get your questions answered live. More ways to interact. Have fun with us. And it's kind of like a uniquely different experience.

So come and check us out over on the Twitch today. More questions. Man lessness. What's up? Hey, guys. Can you hear me? Yep. Perfect.

So I got a trade offer that I'm kind of back and forth on. I'm in a 10-team PPR league, and I got offered Sequin Barclay, Michael Pitman, Jr., and Tyler Warren for CMC and George Kittle. I mean, I prefer Warren, but the tight-end thing feels pretty much, I mean, even enough. The reason I'm considering it, because it feels weird to give up CMC, but I lost Garrett Wilson and Marverson, Harrison, Jr. recently. so my wide receivers are pretty weak. I'm currently starting Nico and I would have to put in Xavier Worthy this week. We've got two running backs, two wide receivers, two flex,

so I can flex some RBs and I've got good depth there. I guess I'm kind of tempted to replace CMC with Sequan if I can upgrade worthy to Michael Pittman, but at the same time I'm 8 and 2. I'm going to make the playoffs. I kind of want to hang on to CMC. What do you think, Erickson? I don't hate the idea.

of the trade. I just don't like these players necessarily. I knew you're going to hate the players. Yeah, like this isn't, look, I think that CMC's not untouchable. I think that you can trade him, but I don't want Barclay as like the running back and then trading CMC 4. And then you're getting like Warren and he's on a buy this week and. Yeah, and then, yeah, I just, I think that you should put him on the block and see if there's another receiver you can get instead.

But I don't like, I don't like this deal. So no for me. Salt's background. I've seen salt in a couple weeks. What's up? Guys, I know I put this on my work calendar now, so no one will schedule meetings. Yeah.

There we go. Don't worry about it, though. We're 7 and 3 and 8 and 2 or something like that. So let me take your temp on Ricky Pierce Hall. Are we giving him ramp up time? We're bringing him back? I'm putting the lineup in, but I've got this wide receiver spot.

And it's going to like, it's Parker Washington, Christian Watson, or Ricky. So a little stuff. I personally don't like if Ricky's active this week I have a lot of hesitation but at the same time the Niners seem very hellbent on like we're not going to play guys until they're 100% healthy personally I'm probably not putting Pearsall out there if he is active and I think I would go with Parker Washington with some of the role he had last week but after that I feel good about Peersall what do you think about that Erickson I don't disagree with what you had to say I think that Parker Washington has shown a pretty high floor ceiling combination. He's been a target machine the last couple weeks. We still don't know if Brian Thomas Jr. is playing. So although I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to like,

if you have to start Pierceall this week, if he's playing. But I'm just like kind of looking back at last year with Pierceell. When he came back from his injuries, he had, so his first game he played three for 21, five targets, no touchdowns. And then he missed a bunch of time, came back again. He had one catch for five yards. So I think it's probably more realistic that he is going to have some type of ramp up Rather than just be thrown to the wolves and basically do what he was doing at start of the year

When he went over 100 yards and half of his games I think this is a heavy on the ground game too by the way I think this is going to be heavy mcalfrey brian robinson play action with kiddle So even if he's active it's low snap counts so but but tip for an example though I would play Would you play pierce all over tire a lot? pocket? Probably at that point. Like here's that okay here's some here's some post 30 guys on ECR that I like and I would definitely do over Pearsaw. Tess Johnson that's like a no doubter.

I think I would roll Jocobie Myers. I think I would roll Darius Slaten for the deep ball and James Winston. Oh he's he's injured too. Yeah yeah that's true and then I think Michael Wilson like Michael Wilson is one is the number one against a 49ers I'd rather him than even an active Ricky Pearsall. But if the word came out and they were just like, yo, tell everybody, you know, Ricky Pearsall's back. Like, I'll listen a little bit. But Michael Wilson would be that. Does that help, Salt? Yeah, that helps. And then in that same league, that flex, Sharps just has such a bad matchup. Would you guys look to Tucker, Hunter, or Watson, since Dobbs is out and he's playing the Giants or stick with the goal line prayers? What do you think, Erickson? I like hunting

than that. It was Hunt. Yeah, who is it? I heard. Hunt Tucker Watson or Sharmanne. Oh, the wide receivers. Okay. I was like, is there running back? Oh, Sean Tucker. Is it Sean Tucker? Yeah. Sean Tucker. Yeah, no, Tray Tucker. Yeah. Cream Hunt set the top of that list for me. Yeah. That's what I would roll out. Cream hunts, like, his touchdown, his touchdown odds are probably like minus 200.

Because he always scores. Yeah. Well, you want to talk about touchdown equity. Touch on equity. He's the top of the list over Sharbs for sure. I mean, I don't know how many rushing yards is going to get. Probably not north of like 40, but he's going to score probably. I'll be two scores. All right, Salt. Thank you for putting us in your work schedule. We expect you next week.

Thank you. All right. Bye, Salt. All right, lightning round. We got about 10-ish minutes. We want to get to as many questions. So let's attempt some lightning rounds if we can, my friends. Ronan, premium member Discord.

What up, Ronan? Hey, gentlemen. How you doing? Good, dude. So I got Tracy and my half-p-pr. league, I got my flex, but would you start them over a Sean Tucker or a, uh, toward Mason

if Aaron was out? Ooh. I think Aaron's going to miss. I don't either. He was limited last week too, so Mason's not really an option. Yeah, I think it's Tracy with a bullet, right? Yeah. He's got snaps. And he's got James. He's got James. He does.

W's. Can I do that? I can do that. Look at that. Rocked it. Chinser, what's up? Did I miss a face off question? have we covered face off yet? You know, I almost said it earlier in the show, to be honest with you, but then I was like, I want to just let the audience dictate that. But I'm pretty sure we're still a big fat no on face off, Erickson. Confirmed.

Confirmed? Any updates? Smile, you could tell. I know. He just, like, he just doesn't care too. He just, he cares about so many things with you guys. Like, he care. He might care more than anybody.

He wants quality of content. He doesn't want to take days off. He wants to be here for you guys. Like, Erickson cares more than anybody except about face off. does not care about face-off. But we'll let him decide. What do you got, Chenser? I bet I know what Erickson's going to say

because I listen to the buy-a-low-sell-high wide-receiver episode, but Tet McMillan, I'd probably need a wide receiver. Anybody else I should target besides J-Mo. What do you think, Erickson? You got any other names? What did Tederoa have to do with this? Because he has Tetaroa? Or did I lose that?

You're suggesting J-Mo, of course. But... Yeah. I think Ricky Pearson. Maybe, oh, you have Ted. Yeah. Ricky Pearson. The, the by low, wide receiver that came to mind is Justin Jefferson.

People are losing their minds about Jefferson last week because of body language is bad. McCarthy was overthrown him. But don't get it mixed up. We saw McCarthy fuel a wide receiver to overall finish in that game. It just happened to be Jalen Naylor and not Justin Jefferson. So he can fuel fantasy success. Like we've seen it in most of his games. Jefferson has been solid.

Jefferson's only caught touchdowns from McCarthy this season. So the schedule with the Vikings is really, really good. And I think people are really frustrated. And I get like McCarthy, real life NFL, not great. It has not been good. But fantasy wise, he's kind of getting there, which is what we care about more than him just being, oh, he's he's the Vikings franchise quarterback.

Like that's not the business that we necessarily need to be in for right now with this Vikings offense. So I think Jefferson is an interesting by low, because I don't think that you're going to have to pay elite capital to get him when we know he's an elite talent. Also don't hate DK Metcalf. He's at a couple bad weeks. And yeah,

and you're coming up against the Bengals. And I think Aaron Rogers learned a big lesson this week. Don't throw to anybody but DK Metcalf after Calvin Austin just let that stuff just bang off his hands. So, uh, DK Metcalf might be another one. I mean, yeah, Aaron Rogers is not petty guy, right? Not at all

He won't hold that against him You know the weirdest thing I know it's lightning around just real quick Have you seen these things Where like every player Wants to do the jersey swap And he won't do it with him Like Jonathan Taylor

Yeah Jonathan Taylor asked to do like a jersey swap And he just like ignored it What's the deal? He doesn't want to give anybody his jerseys Just give your jersey dude You've blanket in an ayahuasca tent Like you got plenty of other blankets

Just give these guys your jerseys He's hanging He's too busy hanging them all up in his room of darkness. What is he doing? They're all being hung up in this room that he can never see them. Making a giant tent out of all of his own jerseys that he won't give to other people. J-Mill, what's up?

What's up? So try to be as quick as I can. We got guillotine league. Are you trusting Trayvion today? Over. Let's see who else we got. Bedunezay, BTJ, Tet. Because I got two flexes.

Oh, Erickson had to cut you off. Ericson's a rulemaker. We said no Thursday questions whatsoever, but also, yes, I would have. But he had to cut you off. Sorry, brother. Erickson's a, he's a, he's a, rules with an iron fist. And he said, any Thursday questions are getting cuts. You must not have been there for you.

But yes, I would have done that for a survivor. Yes, he would have done that. He would have done that. G. Sergio, what's up? It's okay, dude. He said he didn't realize. J. Sergio? Going once?

Going twice? Dang, it's sold. Rice, Pudin, in the house. I'm down, by the way, guillotine. Four left in the... What's up, dude? Four left in the Fantasy Pros Guillotine League. And I'm one of them, Erickson.

I'm one. No big deal. I know. You, Joe, Worm, and Alon. And a lot. Yeah, exactly. We're all trying. We're going after Alon because he has Jonathan Taylor on by this week.

We're just trying to take him down as desperately as we can. What's up? What's up, Pudon? Hey, I have a couple quick ones here for you, if that's all right. How are you feeling about Diggs rest of season? And then would you play Diggs over Tett on a Sunday? Oh, it was a third. Yeah, you Diggs is trying to do you got put.

Yes. And like Diggs for the rest of season. That's the main question. We like Diggs rest of season. But we just said, we just said no Thursday questions. And we literally got one right after that. NS. What's up?

Yo, thanks guys. Real quick. So I'm going to paste over my, my, roster real quick. I got a trade offer. It is 14 men, very competitive, half PPR league.

I'm tied for second at 7 to 3, and I'm looking at the playoffs. I have Tett, and I kind of want to get rid of him. I got an offer for Garrett Wilson one for one. Oh,

and the injuries. I don't think you can do it with the IR stuff, right? Erickson? Yeah, that's the thing. I have Kraft, who I have on my IR. It's one keeper,

and I might keep craft, but I'm willing to drop him if, you know, I also have other options. No, brother. I just, I don't think you can do it with Garrett Wilson's injury stuff right now. You re-injured his knee. Why would he come back to a team that's dumpster fire? Yeah. Like, I guess team Mack has been just like a straight up floor play every single week.

But the Panthers' rest of season schedule is pretty good for receivers. And not even because they're facing teams that give up a lot of points to wide receivers, but they're facing teams that should score a lot of points against the Panthers, which forces Carolina to at least have to abandon the run game in some capacity. Again, against the Saints, even though they were losing, the game was close enough where they were able to Cotill, like, establish the run. And we see rookie receivers break out in the second half of the year all the time. It would not surprise me at all if we see Team Mac finish really, really strong with a couple

spike weeks if we just get more past attempts out of this Panthers offense. So, yes, there is a scenario where you can trade Team Mac, but for Garrett Wilson, who's in, like, no. No, dude. Nah, brother. That boy, Vic. A couple more here. Yeah, a quick question.

I'm in a 12-team half-P-R league. I'm 10-0, and I got offered CD lamb for my Egbuka. I'm wondering if it's, I don't know, it's feeling like it's a little risky to accept it. What do y'all think? Oh, baby. Everybody loves Igbuka right now. I'm with it.

I want CD. I'll just take CD. CDs, DVDs. I want a CD player back in my car. They don't come with CD players anymore. It's crazy. and I want CDs and Lamb for sure. Hogies and grinders.

Okay, that was easy. Yeah, don't feel scared about that. CDs is a great buy. Dirty Dan, last couple here. Hey, guys, just quick question. So I'm in the middle of the fields in a 10-man-half-PPR, and I have Jamar Chase on my roster. I have other wide receivers, Olavé, Devante Smith, VTJ,

and I'm just trying to get your opinion on how I can, can boost myself up into top playoff contention with Jamar, like trying to get Jamar Chase off my roster to increase depth that running back. So like I want to, because it's really hard to ship Jamar Chase right now. And I just don't know how to value him with other Argeese. I mean, I think, do you want multiple running back or one running back?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, but just getting one more running back creates the depth. If he's trading Chase, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, you. You should, the value is at the top. You should be asking for one of the top three running.

Would you do, would you trade chase for Achan? Yeah, I think that's same ballpark. Achan has a, he has his biweek next week though. So just keep it. He already had his buy week. That's like the thing. Like, that's why, dude, I feel like people, people are getting up. People are obsessed with Tyler Ajeer.

It's like, oh, it's taking over. It's over. Bejan, it's dead. He's bossed. I, I think, yeah, I think it'll be fine. They're facing the Panthers this week. All right. I think we can get.

two more here. Mooks, premium member, Fantasy Bros. Discord. Mooks. Go- Thanks, guys. Yeah.

So I got a dynasty trader hold for you. It's a two QB Empire Pot, so all this could be irrelevant. But there's three of us fighting for the last

two playoff spots. Been twining with the idea of shopping Stafford to one of the top four teams, if I can get a good offer. Which offer do you like

better? Either Stafford, plus a pick plus like a Pittman or somebody for a C.J. Stroud plus a Hampton or Bucky. Or I guess Stafford Spears, Pittman Shakir for a burden, a tootin, and then the potential of a 27th first. And this is you just kind of punting and like playing for next year? Or do I hold and make the playoffs and see if I can make a run? I like the Bucky one. I don't love Stroud necessarily, but you get rid of like, what was it, Pitman, Stafford? and there was something in there.

If I can get Bucky for future years and maybe a return on the back half of this year, that's the one that gets me going. I think that's the one I prefer, too. Although I think I like the Hampton side more than the Bucky side. Yeah, Hampton is fine, too, whichever side you want to. Give me one of those running backs with Stroud. He should be back next week, too.

And I think, too, like, it's your league, right? If you want to win for now, like, that's the decision you have to make. Yeah. We can't be, like, we're not in the weeds with it. So it's like, we don't know, like, how bad you want it. If you want it this year, then screw next year, like win the thing. Like, that's all we play the game. But if Stroud comes back next week and Bucky were to come back next week,

you kind of could almost like walk yourself into like the depth of maybe making a shot. But it's a great. Yeah, it's a great point though. Like, you know, you make your final call, but I like that one. All right. Last one is the big booty, Judy. Finish us off here, brother. That meme.

You got to unmute though. Don't do us wrong, Big Booty Judy. There we go. Let's see. I'm trying to get Waddle. The owner has Kenneth Walker. So I'm trying to send him Charbonnet and Pittman, who's my wide receiver for? Is that going to get it done or do I throw in Rashad White?

I don't know. Yeah. Just throw in Rashad White. I mean, if they walk. I don't think that's enough. I don't either. I wouldn't accept that. So give him a bunch of ponies, get the horse.

Get them in the stalls and do what you got to do, man. get that, get your horse across the line. I completely agree. All right, that is going to do it. That is the show.
