Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome in everybody. It's Dynasty double coverage on the Fantasy
Pros Discord. I'm your host, Scott Bogman, joined as always
by my man Pat Fitzmorri's follow him on the Twitter
at fits Underscore ff FITZI look, we got a big
weekend brother. It's Steelers Packers on Sunday Night football. This
is gonna be a fun one, isn't it. Oh?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's right, and Boggs, let's hope it goes the same
way as our reality sports online matchup this past week
with me coming away victorious. Not tru a bet in
your face or anything, but yeah, I'm excited. And uh,
we have no shortage of compelling storylines for that game.
With the Steelers defense being made up almost entirely of

(00:43):
University of Wisconsin players, We've got the Aaron Rodgers drudge
match revenge game. This one's gonna be juicy, man. Yeah,
and wait, what are you feeling about? From a pure
betting perspective, it looks like it's gonna be Packers by three.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, I mean that seems right to me, you know
what I mean? Like, I don't think I would I
would mess with it too much. I really thought the
Steelers were gonna come through for me on Thursday. Got
the lead late, but I was I was texting with
the buddy of mine who's a huge Browns fan, so

(01:20):
he always roots against the Steelers even when they're playing
the Bengals too. And I was at the Fiesta Bowl
in two thousand and nine with him and his dad,
and Ohio State scored. It was Texas versus Ohio State,
and they're big Buckeyes fans, so Ohio State scored like
a minute and fourteen seconds left, and his dad looked

(01:40):
at me and he said, they scored too fast. And
that's exactly what I thought. When Firemouth scored that touchdown.
I was like, that's way too fast. And I was
right Higgins with the genius move to catch the ball
and get down and all that. But we're not here
to talk about the past. We're here to talk about
the future. FITSI and answer some Dynasty questions. Have this
question here from bot Skogman on the chat FITZI, who

(02:06):
is your highest riser for Fantasy or for Dynasty? Excuse
me so far through the first seven weeks here.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Got to be Jackson Dart. Has to be Jackson Dart.
It was pretty.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Skeptical, as you know, Bogs, that looks like a bad call.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
He's shown all sorts of moxie.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
And he's doing it without a eyable wide receiver corps
Wandale Robinson and that's basically it. Like got it done
throwing the Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger last week. He's
a resourceful runner. He doesn't panic when the pressure gets
to him. They're gonna be some bad games for him

(02:45):
as a passer ahead, like not every week is gonna
look good, and they're probably gonna be some real duds.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
But man like he's he's got it for sure, and
I don't have him.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
When we did our rankings update last month, I elevated
him the quarterback sixteen. Still not high enough. He needs
to be like quarterback. He needs to be a QB
one for Dynasty And what about you?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, I think it's I mean, Dart is just such
a good answer. I mean, Judkins looks so good too.
I thought he was going to be great. I did
not think he was going to be twenty five carries
already with three scores and just making everybody miss as
far as tacklers go. So Judkins has moved up my

(03:35):
board pretty well. I think. I think that's probably one
of the biggest risers. Is there anybody else that comes
to the front of your mind in terms of big,
big risers.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Or Againston Junior certainly on the move. Yes, my god, Yeah,
he looks fantastic. Judkins is the great answer.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And I was just.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I partnered up in the King's Classic this fourteen. It's
redraft fourteen team leagues.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
We draft.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
It's like fantasy analysts draft at the Fantasy Football Expo
every year. My partner and I got Judkins on the
cheap in both leagues, like for a dollar in the auction.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
We have one auction in one Snake draft.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
We got him in like the last round of our
Snake draft and for a dollar in the auction. We're
leading both the auction and Snake draft and scoring right now.
Judkins is a huge reason.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why what about you move down neighbors for the injury
how much?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I mean you have to move him down, I
think a little.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
So just.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
He moves to sort of the bottom of the stud tier.
I've got him wide receiver eight, okay, behind guys like
JSN and Aman Rah and right behind Drake London.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Can I ask who has disappointed you the most this year?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
That is a good question.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Kean has been disappointing for sure, just hasn't commanded targets
the way I thought he would.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'm still not quite in the pull the plug.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, me neither stage with him, but we're getting closer
and closer, like my hands on the court, you know
what I mean, Like I am ready to rip, but
not quite yet. How about Henderson.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Henderson for sure, and maybe even more so than Henderson,
Caleb Johnson just the fact that he can't even get
a foothold in the Steelers offense, so he's a big one.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Sure, Harvey. Yeah, I'm still okay with Harvey because I
think Dobbins is Like the reason you're still holding Harvey
in redraft outside of Dynasty is because Dobbins breaks down.
But also Dobbins can easily go after this year, So
I'm still holding on to Harvey. I think I'm still trading. Uh,

(06:03):
you know, if I can get Henderson for a second
round pick next year, I'm doing that even low end first,
Like what is the highest pick you would trade in
twenty six to get Henderson?

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Now?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
At Like you when you're buying cheap.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Highest twenty twenty six.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I mean I definitely give up a.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Second, okay, yeah, I mean and yeah, and anything that's
not in the top seven or eight right now for
Henderson still yeah, yeah, this class is not shaping up
to be great.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
So no, no, not at all.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's getting I mean there there, there's some more interesting names,
and of course the combine will float guys and all that,
but uh, there's no game breakers right now. So yeah,
I'm with you, all right. I didn't mean to hog
up the first like five or six minutes.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
That's all right.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I just got a couple of questions, just re establishing.
But let's go to the audience members here. Hokey is
up first. He was here before me, been dying to
ask this question. So, Hoky, what do you got for
us today? My friend?

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
How you doing doing great? How are you all right?

Speaker 6 (07:17):
So found myself in a unique situation this year. In
years past, I've felt like I had a better team
than my record. This year it's kind of the opposite.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
I'm six and one dropped my team and the Chat
twelve team league, I am the third highest scoring team,
so my six and one record is kind of on
par what you might expect, but I've had some fortunate.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Weeks where it's kind of been a could have been
a coin flip depending on who I was playing. The
two teams ahead of me are more than one hundred
points ahead of me in terms of total points, so
they have been scoring significantly more So objectively, I feel
like I'm probably the third or fourth best team in
the league. So you know, based on that, we do

(07:58):
sixteen playoff ranked points. So I feel like I'm definitely
gonna go for take take my shot this year, but
with listen thought to next year.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
So looking at my roster, which, like I said, I.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Dropped in the chat, I felt pretty good about quarterback
coming in, and of course Prescott's been spectacular. No disappointments
there long term from dynasty perspective, I was sort of
thinking Nix was the future. A little concerned about that. Now,
how do you guys feel about Nicks?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's a good question at this point. I mean, definitely
taking a little bit of a stap step back here, FITZI,
what are your thoughts on bon Knicks this year?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, just flight disappointment, has not really hasn't really improved
on last year, and maybe it's even taken a small
step back. I don't know, Bogs like I felt like
he was a good quarterback for the Sean Payton system
because he was comfortable with the short stuff out of

(09:02):
the wide receiver screens. The quick hitting is sort of
like the Drew Brees game.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
And I don't know, it's just been scoring, but a
lot of that has boosted off of his forty point
week in Week seven.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Right, which was entirely game scrapped fueled.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Right.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Fundamentally, The question then, is looking you know, looking forward,
is that a place where you think I should be
looking to improve.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I think it's gonna be okay.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Something.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
I think Nicks is going to have a better second
half of the year and he's gonna be fine, So
I wouldn't worry about that spot too much. But no
doubt he has taken a little bit of a step back.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, if he's your QB too, I think you're okay.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Hockey.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
From my running back perspective, from a as far as
dynasty goes, I feel pretty good. But with my running
backs are obviously I mean Prescott and Jonathan Tyler has
been carrying me this season.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
They've just been the two of them combined.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Chase Brown I acquired before the seat that started. Been
a bit of a disappointment, but I'm hopeful based on
what we saw last week with Flacco at QB, now
I'm gonna sub seen some better results from him. Trying
to decide. I like what you guys were saying early
on about Trevion Henderson. Of course, he's been a he's
been a disappointment. I traded a traded a first and
a second next year to move up and get him

(10:25):
this year, so he certainly hasn't paid off yet. But
I'm still hopeful in the long term. As far as
the roster right now, my own guy is available in
our league, somebody dropped him a week or so ago,
looking at my looking at my the players I have
at running back. Is there somebody there that would be
an obvious drop in your view to pick up my
own guy.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know if it's an obvious drop, but fits
i'm seeing my own guy versus korm and Spears, I
definitely think I want him over Koram, who's just you know,
a handcuff for Kiren right now, and I'm okay with
taking him over Spears as well. What are your thoughts
between Spears and ann guy Fitsie.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I would prefer to lose Quorum, I guess.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Okay, I just thinking about I'm actually thinking about trying
to trade Korum to the Chiren owner. He's a little
shaky at running back and it's not going to be
something he can obviously benefit on now.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
But he's also.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
I mean, he's up there in the standings as well,
probably going to be a strong have a good playoff spot.
He's probably looking to have some have some insurance in
case something happens with Wig himself. I was trying to
move Korum in that situation was to open up a
spot I might can drop my own guy into, so
kind of it's kind of a win win, I think,
if fucking.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Perfect, Yeah, I would try to do that. First, just
get like a third or fourth or what however deep
you go, try to get a last round pick.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
That's kind of what I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay, I would stick
to that, ye, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
And for what it's worth, I think Spears is a
talented and good player, like he's kind of someone I
want to maybe hold on to or down the road.
It's just that there's limited value with the current state
of the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
Yeah, I've been I've been holding up. Yeah, I've been
holding them a while, kind of thinking the same thing.
But I've seen some things here in the last few
days where there's some talk that they might move polared,
which could give me.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's still the.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Titans offense, so you have to temper your expectations, but
get pollered out of the way.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
It could be a little bump there.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
So I don't want to stay here in front of
everybody else, but do want to ask one more thing
around wide receiver. So obviously BTJ has been a disappointment,
you know, a little bit of a little bit of
optimism two weeks ago, and then he gets hurt last week.
But then the thing that came out of that is
Travis Hunter actually popped up and had a nice game,
So that was good to see. Yes, the receiver's probably receiver
is probably where I've ended up maybe being being the

(12:53):
weakest at least for the rest of this year. I mean,
looking at it from a dynasty perspective, I think it's
still pretty decent. What are your thoughts just in general?
I'm a wide receiver room there.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
So Wilson, Thomas, Pearsaw, Rashid Shahi, Travis Hunter, and Darnell Mooney.
I think this is still pretty solid. Obviously you've had
some injury stuff with all three of your top guys.
I think Travis Hunter is finally coming along. Uh, there
are some options here, FITZI would you drop Darnell Mooney
for like Malik Washington or I think that's probably it.

(13:26):
I'm not dropping him for Kirk or Diamie Brown or anybody.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
No, I would not make any swapouts with the guys
who are available in your league. I think it's a
deep group and you're just maybe lacking a little bit
of top end firepower with the disappointment from Brian Thomas Junior.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's about it.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
But once once Pearsaw gets back, it's pretty good top
three with Wilson, BTJ and Pearsaw, and you know, maybe
Hunter does take another step forward. You know, Mooney was
a guy who played like ninety three percent of the
teams offensive.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Snaps last year.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And it's a pretty skinny target tree in Atlanta with
basically just London Mooney Pitts Bijeon, so I like him too.
I think it's a I think it's a good enough
group saying no, you this team is uh yeah. I
mean Dak and Jonathan Taylor are the engines here and

(14:23):
Garrett Wilson. I think the wide receivers are good enough.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
So do I everbody the running backs? I know, I know, Hoky,
you were concerned about, you know, this second RB spot
here because you have Mason, Aaron Jones is coming back,
you have Rashad White, Bucky's coming back. But Chase Brown
getting back to it, I think is really going to
be the biggest spark for your team. So I think

(14:47):
you're gonna be fine.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Correct, Yeah. I think it was Chris Dale. A couple
weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
I was in the doing doing some AMA with him
and I mentioned the thought of picking up Giddins and
he said you can pick up and said, with reality,
isn't j T gets hurt?

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Your screwed anyway?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
So I mean it kind of because it seems like
Giddens has maybe lost his handcuff status as well. They're
playing a mirror Abdullah a bunch so uh yes, yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
One more, one more quick one let me get off
the stage for everybody else, tidy end.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I got King Kate Henry.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
Uh, somebody just dropped outen and I've been thinking about
picking him up. What are your thoughts Oughton versus Henry
both the rest of this year, but long term, I'd.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Rather keep Henry.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Would you make that move or just I stick with
Kate Henry From that?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, I think I would rather keep Henry. I just
think Kott Kate Aughten is low in the pecking order
even with injuries, so I think I'd rather keep Hunter Henry.
He's kind of touchdown dependant, but that's fine.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I think it would just be a lateral move.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I think got maybe gained some appeal with Evan's out
for the year, but you know, maybe just up to
Henry's level.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Right, Cool?

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Thanks guys. As always here, it's.

Speaker 1 (15:58):

looks like we got yaosa? What's going on? How are

(17:06):
we doing? Yaosa? You're there go once going twice boom.

Speaker 8 (17:15):
Yeah, I'm here you guys, we got so I didn't
know I had to hit it.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
You're all good?

Speaker 8 (17:20):
What do you got for us? So, first of all, Bogman,
I want to know, have you ever seen that hairbo
Gummy Bears commercial with the two football players sitting on
the bench on the sidelines. I don't know that I have, oh,
because you kind of look like one of the guys
in that commercial. So I don't know if you like Carabo.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Somebody tag Gummy Bears but different commercial too, or maybe
it was that commercial. Uh, but I definitely got tagged.
Did you tag me on Sunday or something that wasn't you?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Was it?

Speaker 8 (17:49):
No? No? I just I just thowt and I was like, gosh,
that kind of looks like Bogman.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, I okay. I'll try to look while we're doing
this and see, because somebody tagged me this week or
maybe it was last in an ad as well and
they said, hey, look you know what it was for
some medicine. I'll try to find it. But anyway, what
do you caught for us? Outside of my toppel ganger
and a Hairboo commercial?

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Hey, I just wanted you guys general opinion. So I'm
sitting at like three and four middle of the league,
not going anywhere. I have top two top eight quarterbacks
in a one quarterback half PPR twelve team league, would
you guys think about dumping one of those?

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Top?

Speaker 8 (18:35):
You know I have Daniels in May, so would you
guys think about trading one of those to get other pieces?

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Like?

Speaker 8 (18:41):
I'm twelveth on the power rankings on the Fantasy Pros
dashboard for running backs.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
So in your.

Speaker 8 (18:49):
General opinion, do you guys keep both good quarterbacks or
do you trade a piece away to try to fill
other spots?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
I think if I can trade just one QB league,
if I can trade them away, I think I do. Sorry, Fitzy,
go ahead.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I was just gonna ask, is this is this dynasty
or is this read?

Speaker 8 (19:06):
Yeah, no dynasty. My top is Hubbard, Yeah, my top
running back stubboard and then Mason.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah. I mean look, if I if I can get
I would package right. So you take Daniels and Mason
and see if you can flip them for a better
running back. That guy does look exactly like me, by
the way, Am I sure I did not get into
this commercial? Maybe I did. This guy's hair is too short,
but maybe you should get royalties?

Speaker 7 (19:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Wow, yeah, that guy looks like me and Ron Funches
right there. It looks like me and my own roommate.
To be honest with you, it's hilarious. But uh uh,
I'm sorry, where are we going again? I got distracted
by this guy.

Speaker 8 (19:49):
You were packaging like Daniels and Mason for uh.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, So we take Daniels and Mason or Daniels and uh,
since your week at running back, maybe a wide receiver
that's on your bench or a second tight end something
like that, and we try to upgrade at a running
back position at least to get the ball rolling, you know,
throw out some offers there like that, and say hey,
if this isn't close, tell me what else I need

(20:13):
to add or switch or change or whatever, and start
throwing out, you know, peppering offers to different teams and
see what kind of offers you get back?

Speaker 8 (20:24):
All right, And then do you guys, would you prefer
keeping Daniels over May or May over Daniels?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Just curious FITZI.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Boy, at this point, I think I'd rather have May.

Speaker 8 (20:39):
That was my opinion too.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I didn't think I was going to say that this year,
but yeah, that's kind of where we're at. May's just
been absolutely phenomenal. I like Daniels too, but maybe and
remember Bogs when we were a little worried about this
with Daniels as a prospect, just his aggression as a
runner and his lanky frame, and how maybe that wasn't

(21:02):
the best combination of things. And well the play he
injured his hamstring on nothing to do with over aggression.
Sure as far as running, but.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
But we say that runs around like a crash test stummy,
which he kind of does sometimes. Yeah, he seems to
have rained that there's some injury, right, not enough?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
So yeah, yeah, if we're so obviously in in one
QB dynasty, the market can be a little soft for quarterbacks.
I do still think that maybe, under the right circumstances,
you might be able to flip Jane Daniels for say,
possibly Kyron Williams. I think you could probably get like

(21:42):
a Derrick Henry type for him. Who else Bogs have
like productive now, I bris Hall, I'm sure you could
probably get or.

Speaker 8 (21:53):
What about it? What about futures like like picks.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
In terms of draft picks, what is he worth?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I do you.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Do a first Bogs at twenty twenty six?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
First, considering the relative lack of strength in the class
of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think this is the rare case where you could
trade a quarterback for a first in a one QB league, right.
I don't think it could be a top five or
six pick, probably a back end first round pick, but
I think you could. You could get that done.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, if I were a playoff contender, I would personally
be willing to trade my twenty twenty six first round
pick for Jade Daniels.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Same.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
Well, perfect, Well, thanks a lot, guys, have a great day.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Of course, I shouts no idea I have a career
as an actor, but apparently I do. I got a
doppelganger in here as well, So I mean, I probably
got a couple pounds on this guy, but you know,
not by a ton. Here, let's see. Before we move on,

I have one startup this year that's pretty forgettable and
as a train wreck, but other generally speaking, it's going well.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
The question for you is about fits touchdown.

Speaker 9 (23:48):
I'm earlier on Dart, so I'm asking through the lens
of a keeper league, but I think it translates to
Dynasty as well. Is that I'm in top three in
the league. I'm five to right, so I'm tied for
second good points per game.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
I have Allen.

Speaker 9 (24:03):
It's super flex three wide receiver PPR four point passing touchdowns.
Dart's been awesome one three in a row. Would you
and I have him for a late like a thirteenth
round pick, right, So, whether it's Dynasty and it's good
value of having him, or it's a late pick in
a keeper league, would you consider.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Moving him in a win now move?

Speaker 9 (24:27):
And even in a keeper situation, right, it's multi years, right,
so I'd have him for three years for like a
thirteenth of twelfth and eleventh for the next three years.
But you know, if it was somebody like early picks,
but even if it was an older player from a
dynasty perspective, right, like if it was Saquan and Dak
for Dart and another player, would you move off of
him for a win now return or if you had

(24:51):
him for the next several years.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I would move him. And I do think that the
issues not the skill. The skill is much better than
we thought coming in. But I do you think potential
coaching issues still exist with New York Now? Dart is
going to be the quarterback for whoever the next coach
is there as well. I think he's shown enough now
that unless he absolutely Tommy DeVito's it from this point

(25:15):
to the end of the year that he is your guy, right,
so his changes won't matter that much. But I do
think that there is still potential for coaching changes and
roster moves and just more upheaval. So I think I'm
okay with trading him for older guys. Specifically, you know,
this is a push your chips in move. I will

(25:36):
ask you this, Bova, who is your quarterback that replaces
Dart You would be getting Dak back, That's what it
would be.

Speaker 9 (25:44):
So there's yeah, there's a couple teams that are just
near the bottom right, so Dak would be the best
case quarterback. I have Josh Allen, and I have Flaco,
and then there's some some guys who like a week here,
a week there are out there. But I'm also fairly
deep at receiver, which I could start in that super
flex spot. So I have Tet London, DeVonta Smith, and Puka.

(26:15):
So you know, if I had to roll out four
wide receivers or I had to pick up a quarterback,
that's a little bit lesser. But you know, if I'm
either getting an upgrade at running back, which I'm poor
at running back, I'm like piecing it together.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
I have Walker Rashad White.

Speaker 9 (26:30):
I picked up Rico Daddle and then I traded him
for Benson, hoping that since I'm doing well, I could
have Benson on the back end of the season, come
playoff time.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
Or tight end. Because I got Fan in there and
one of the last place teams.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I don't. I don't like that strategy. In a super flex,
we want two quarterbacks, So I mean I would start Flaco.
Flaco's fine, right, you know he's gonna throw the ball
a hundred times a game because they still have no defense.
So as long as he stays healthy, I think he's
fine as a three. But I want a quarterback back
if I'm trading Dart. But FITZI is this is this

(27:06):
keeper dynasty? How do you want to say it? Is
this a short sighted move to move Dart now? Or
is this potentially a sell high at the peak of
his you know, start here and get maybe potentially more
than he's worth. You did mention him as one of
your biggest risers, but did he rise enough to now

(27:27):
be a non trade asset.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't think he's either of those things.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't think he's untouchable, and I don't think he's
necessarily like a cell high capitalized now because this is
a mirage. So I'm in between, BOV. I do think
this would be a really good opportunity for you to
leverage Dart and you know, fill that need you have
it running back and get a good quarterback in return,
because I do think people in a keeper league super

(27:56):
flex are going to look at Dart as a foundational asset,
and for me, he's maybe not quite the in the
prim from my cold dead hands territory like Drake may
or Jade and Daniels, He's close to that, So yeah,
I'd be willing to move him.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
And it.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I mean, it sounds like you have a fantastic group
of wide receivers and just a really good team in general.
And if you could get a sort of anchor veteran
running back out of this, plus another quality quarterback, maybe
someone like Dak who's even probably more valuable in the
here and now than Dart is, I'm all for it.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
Okay, awesome guys. I appreciate it as always.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Of course, Thanks Bob, Thanks Man, A good question, Yeah, Dart.
I figured Dart was going to be a decent amount
of questions today, But yeah, I mean, he looks great,
he really does. So did you did you see the
stat about how they lost that game? By the way
teams were with one thousand and sixty two in oh

(29:01):
when leading by I think it was nineteen points with
six minutes left or something. And now they are one
thy sixty two and one because the Broncos came back
and won that game. That is an insane number. Insane number. Nick,
what's going on, my friend? How are we doing?

Speaker 10 (29:20):
I'm doing well, guys, how are you doing great?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
What do you got for us?

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Sure?

Speaker 11 (29:25):
So, with all the advice over the years, very appreciative,
have developed a pretty good Dynasty team.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
I'm five and two now.

Speaker 11 (29:34):
The attack at quarterback, which is like totally fine in
one QB wide receivers crazy with AJ Brown, DK Metcalfic Buca,
London Higgins, McConkey, and then like exciting rookies like Luther Burden, Noel,
et cetera. Kind of piecing together running back tight ends great. Also,

(29:56):
I have McBride and Laporta, although they're us on by
this week, but I'll make do running back I Bijon,
Jordan Mason, and then a bunch of like no One's
you know, Jarck Wes Hunter who you know exciting in
Dynasty down the road but not anything now, and then
like Chris Rodriguez and Brian Robinson, Sean Tucker just nobody

(30:17):
potential fill ins who like I just hope if it
ever does have to happen that you know, Bijon makes
up for it. But I'm just wondering what you guys
think with the stack wide receiver room like that in
trying to target running backs, embracing going all in given
that my team's doing as well as his doing, or

(30:38):
the like general strategy of like wait till later in
the season and then like that's when you target you know,
the older running backs or any of those things. Just
wondering if you have any running back suggestions who I
should look at that would either make Mason an RB
three for me, or you know someone who could be
like a viable plug in if if one of those

(30:59):
other guys get heard or anything. Just curious what your
advice is there with the whole week at running back
is strong and everything else place, or also should I
be trying to consolidate some of those wide receivers and
like try and go after like top top guys since
I can only start for any given week.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
I think both those moves are viable, right right, FITZI,
You can either condense your wide receivers and get a
top option or use the wide receivers to fill this
RB need. I think I would lean towards the RB need.
What are your thoughts, FITZI.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, I mean that was a deep group. Could you
could you run through that list again?

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Nick?

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I heard Lad, I heard Higgins, I heard London, I
heard Abuca, DKJ Brown.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Do we miss anybody? Nick?

Speaker 11 (31:47):
I mean, I guess just below that, guys like Luther Burden,
Jalen Knowle.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
So what kind of which wide receiver are you dealing
and what kind of running back are we looking at? FITZI, Well,
I'm looking.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
For us to say targets is kind of hard because
we don't know who the sellers are in this league, So.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
But like, if you're and you have a lot of
different options, and you could certainly sort of scale the
level of wide receiver you're willing to give up based
on what running backs might be available. But me, Lad
McConkie is a good piece to sell because I think
he has established that he's going to have immense value

(32:36):
over the course of his career. But in the here
and now things are a little weak to week because
you've got old man keenan Allen sort of stealing some targets.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
And yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Weekly it's a little hit or miss for him, But
like if you were to trade lad, I certainly think
you could get a piece like commensur at value running
back would be.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
I think you could probably get maybe James Cook.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I think you might be able to get Christian McCaffrey
if there's any chance that team isn't contending, although I
guess Christian McCaffrey does have.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Probably most of his teams in contention.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, who else, Bogs I'm trying to think. I think
maybe Josh Jacobs Jacobs Jacob, Yeah, very good possibility. Certainly
Kyron Williams. Plus I think so.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
To get who looks like the old Davante this year. Finally,
are you believing that or are you kind of leery
about it?

Speaker 4 (33:47):
No?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I believe.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I don't know, like of all those wide receivers, though,
I don't know if I would trade any of the
guys like even T Higgins I would rather have than
Javonte in Dynasty, maybe.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Like a Luther or Burden.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Well, maybe maybe like something since you have the two
good tight ends.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Maybe even too much. You think that might be even
too much for Chavante.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Nah, I don't think is like the I mean it's
right now and he's not ancient right, and he's not
like in his thirties, so that's true. I mean he's
in his prime, but has that knee injury like he's twenty.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
I do think is a little too much.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
He could be, yeah, but but you have when you're
when you're trading for a running back, when that's the
last piece you're getting, you usually have to overpay a
little bit. I'm not saying don't fight and try to
get like a pickback or whatever. But I do think
when you are when you're the good team leveraging, the
bottom teams they don't have they they have all the
leverage on hundred percent of it because they don't care.

(34:52):
They're not going to win one way or the other.
So you usually do have to pay up a little bit.
So I don't I just don't hate that deal. So
I would consider that deal for Javante. But I do
think that's the group that you're looking at, Like, you know,
RB ones this year, either a little bit older or
as Javonte is coming off an injury and people are
like a little shaky about I think that's probably the

(35:13):
group you're looking at for RBS. Still really good RBS,
but you know it may be tough to come off
of for those owners. So you want to look and
see the bottom half of your league and who has
too many running backs and not enough wide receivers. If
there is a team like that, and that's usually the

(35:34):
best team to work off of, do you have any
of those in your league?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Do you know?

Speaker 5 (35:36):
Nick?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Not a ton?

Speaker 11 (35:40):
I mean it's kind of tough. A lot of the
teams in my league are all three and four, so
I don't think that they all know if they're contending
or not. Yeah, And I haven't quite making like a
or made like a clear stance on that. But you
know there's like a team with Saquan who like every
other week he gets a win or loss and then
is like, oh, maybe I'm contending again, Or you know,

(36:04):
James Cook is on a team that's pretty low as well.
So definitely a viable guy to go after.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
And you did have that pardon.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
I was just going to say, Nick, you had that
question about the timing. I don't think it's an urgent thing.
I mean, you could give it another couple of weeks
to see which of the three and four teams kind
of fall into the quicksand and you have enough firepower.
I think at the lot of firepower with the wide
receivers tight ends like you and Bijon, You're you're not

(36:35):
going to all out of contention if you don't make
this deal in the next two weeks.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Right, Thank you?

Speaker 11 (36:44):
Also curious, I know we were obviously highlighting like running
back at some point. Are there any receivers you'd try
and pair up to, like level up to a top
notch guy or or like, are those just like two
untouchable in your eyes for like you know, the real
top top dudes.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, the way receivers continue to go down, I mean
I almost like having the you know, having a lot
of like low end wide receiver. I sort of like
the way you've at your wide receiver room right now.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
So you wouldn't take like Higgins and DK and try
to get Lamb or something.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
If you could.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I just I'm always reluctant to make those sorts of
deals if I'm the one sitting on Chase Lamb.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Jefferson, Sure, yeah, it may not be enough.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Just those are hard deals to try to make, It's
all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
It's very true. Yeah, like you can try to go
get London, but he's you have London, but yeah, like
Nico or somebody like that. But yeah, I think I
think Fits is right. I think most of the time
you have to pay through the nose, completely overpay. But
I mean, you know, it never hurts to ask and

(38:00):
low ball offer at first. I mean, you don't want
to be insulting, but you know you also don't want
to offer everything that you have and have them go
no and just a deal is dead. So I you know,
play around with it, try and h see what you
can get. But I think I think Fits is right
for the most part. Like you know, you have constructed
this team very well. You have a lot of depth

(38:22):
and running wide receivers are getting hurt more than they
have typically this year, or at least it feels like
that to me. That could be complete recency bias. I
haven't like done the research on it, but it definitely
feels like they're getting hurt at a higher clip and
paced than they typically have. So I I'm with Fits.
I kind of like the way you have it built.

Speaker 11 (38:39):
I like the depth, right, Thank you guys appreciate it
of course.

Papa here? What's going on? Pop? How are we doing?

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (39:18):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
It going good? What do you got for us?

Speaker 10 (39:20):
My friend too bad? Ready for the Cavs season up
here in Cleveland?

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Oh? Here we go?

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yeah, yeah. Are they going to be good? I don't
know much about basketball anymore.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah they'll be.

Speaker 12 (39:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (39:34):
We're like second second in the future for the championships.
So hind okay see. But uh, speaking of Cleveland, you know,
I got the witness first hand of the implosion of
the Dolphins offense. So that's kind of where my question
stems from. Is what do I do as a contending team,

(39:55):
like top three team in the league, and I have
a chan and Wattle when it comes to dynasty, do
you like, are we panicking at this offense or do
we sit tight and see what's going on. I just
want to kind of make sure that I've slidify my
top spot, you know, like, is it panic time yet

(40:16):
or now?

Speaker 1 (40:17):
So, FITZI with the Dolphins, I mean it feels like
the head coaching firing is inevitable, correct, I mean it's
definitely gonna happen somewhat soon. But with those two players
eighth Chan and Wattle, I just think any coach has
to have those guys at the top now that Tyreek
is down. So I don't fear for those players even

(40:40):
though the situation is really rough. Are you different in that,
Fitzy or are you okay with those guys because they're
just too big a pieces of the offense to be
not utilized anyway.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
No, I'm with you, Bogs. I feel the same way.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
And you know, Pop, I feel like von A Chan's
value is pretty resilient because he can run, because he
can catch just a really versatile, dynamic player. And I
think even if they pulled the plug on Tua, which
I would not be surprised to see, I think he

(41:16):
could work with Zach Wilson, and uh, you think it
would be yours instead of Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
It moved him the second last week over Zach Wilson,
and then he played a little bit.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Oh did they? I didn't. I did not see that interesting.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
It was just last week. So yeah, and his first
player to turn over with play according to pf.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Throw.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Oh you know what I did see?

Speaker 2 (41:42):
I did see the thing about like yours coming back
to the bench and like looking like he wanted to
talk to Mike McDaniel and Mike Daniel just giving.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Him the cold shoulder.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
So yeah, I'm not worried about a Chan at all,
and like I'm a little worried about Waddle. Ideally, the
Wattle's got a good complimentary receiver next to him. Although
in his first couple of games without Tyreek, Hilly did
have good games.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Maybe it was just he got banged up last week.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
The weather was obviously disagreeable.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Yeah, so oh.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
I mean that would be fantastic if he got traded
the Lord, send him, send him to my Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
The rumor last week was the Giants because when Neighbors
went down, Uh, I guess, yeah, in that big game
hunting and Jaylen Wattle was like at the top of
the list, but he is making a bunch of money,
so not sure.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Yeah, so yeah, I mean things are a little less
stable with Bottle, but I'm not too panicking. I don't
think the bottom is going to fall out with his
value even if he stays in Miami.

Speaker 10 (42:49):
Same awesome, cool, cool, Yeah, I just I just didn't
know if, like, if you would with everything going on
in Miami, would you start to target like the Jonathan
titmic guys that are two or three years older than
a Chan or Waddle, you know, like Jonathan Taylor, Josh Jacobs,
Or do you go up to like a Marion Hanton
who's out but is a little more reliable in the

(43:11):
long run more?

Speaker 4 (43:12):
Are you just sticking out with and hope for the best?

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, so so for Chan and Wattle, like, uh, you know,
long term, a Chan is just too good of a
weapon to want to move off of in my opinion, Like,
if you can get JT for him, I'm fine with
that because JT could help you win this year. So
if it's like the rest of your team is good
and then the Miami offense is just puttering and you
have an opportunity to get Taylor. I don't hate it, right,

(43:37):
but I think in the long run, a Chance it's
just too good a back to want to move in
most spaces because he is whoever comes in next year,
You're building your offense around him, right like, uh, maybe
you make changes a quarterback and offensive line. You should,
the Dolphins are bad, but you build the offense around
a Chance. Still, you know if you don't trade him,

(43:59):
and if you trade him, you trade him to a
better opportunity than Miami most likely. So I think in
most case scenarios, unless I'm overwhelmed by a deal, I'm
probably keeping a Chan for the most part.

Speaker 10 (44:10):
All right, sounds good. I'll try to ignore the rookie
draft pick from Miami running back next year too. That's
every year. No, but thank you, guys, I appreciate the time.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Of course, Pop, you got it, my friend, Thanks Papa. Yeah,
and look, a Chan is one of those guys too
that can work with a second back. And we've actually
been seeing it from DeAndre Swift over the last couple
of weeks where you bring in Kyle Managai and Managuy
plays more and Swift looks better because he's not absolutely
guessed at the end of the game. So I think

(44:44):
that's the same deal for a chan right, That's why
you try to find a complimentary back next to him,
like Ollie Gordon is what they're trying this year. I
don't know if Allie is gonna end up making it,
but so they might spend another pick on a running back.
But I think next year, the new coach and probably
a new front office and everything, most of those picks

(45:04):
are gonna be spent on the offensive line. A defensive
line would be my guest, and maybe some secondary.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
Hug create.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yep ugs. We get two hands up.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Let's take these two and then make sure we get
to some of the questions in the chat.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
You got it, Catalyst, You are up? My friend? What
do he got up? Catalyst? Are you talking? We can't
hear you. It may be some adjustment you have to
make on that mic there on occasion. No, all right,
I'm gonna I'm gonna put you back in the audience
and then raise your hand again if you figure it out,
and we will go to Matt. What's up, Matt? There

(45:42):
is this Mattias. Oh wait a minute, did that one
go away?

Speaker 4 (45:46):
There?

Speaker 1 (45:46):
We go, oh, there we go. Here it is again?

Speaker 12 (45:48):
Sorry, new new to this one.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
All good, don't worries. What do you got uh im?

Speaker 12 (45:53):
Just trying to put my team in the chat here.
My team's doing a lot better than I anticipated this year.
I was kind of hoping to sam bag a little bit.
So if a Buka on the bench or on the
the taxi squad, so my question to you guys would be,
is it worth taking him off the taxi squad and

(46:14):
putting him into my lineup? And then where in my
lineup can I potentially upgrade to reach the the playoffs
and kind of go from there?

Speaker 5 (46:25):
All right?

Speaker 3 (46:26):
So, yeah, what's your record right now?

Speaker 12 (46:28):
Four and three and there's only two pretty much everybody's
at four and three or three and four, and there's
one team at seven and zero.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Yeah, so looking at your roster here that you dropped Rostrepo,
Corley can go away. We're gonna bring up Eg, Buca
and I a minor from the taxi squad and get
rid of those guys. And then your wide receivers are
pretty good because then you have a Buca, Davonte qj
as your three are worthy. You can get a flex
out of one of those guys too. If you go
in three wide receivers and one flex, or is this

(46:58):
two wide receiver and one flex, two wide receiver and
two flex. Okay, well, then you got your two flexes
out of the issue. For your team depth chart wise
would be the running back position, right because after Bejon
and Genti, which are great, it's a lot of garbage here,
p Ryan Singletary, LeQuinn Allen, that type of stuff. But

(47:22):
you have a lot of whiteouts. So I'm thinking we take, like,
would you trade fitsy between Agbuka, Davante and Worthy. Who
do you want to trade the most as.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Far as what you could get in value versus what
he can offer you this year? Probably Worthy, So I
think his trade value is still pretty high. But I
think he might be sort of didn't miss with Rashid,
Rice act and plus like, it's not just going to
be Worthy and Rice and Kelsey like Malmes does kind

(47:57):
of spread it around and he will still visionally target Hollywood,
Brown and Taekwon Thornton and Juju. So maybe worthy value
is still pretty high and he might not be a
very ultra dependable asset for the rest of this year.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Okay, let me ask the running backs on the wire
in your league here, do you have any monong guys
Rishard Smith or is it pretty desolate on the wire
as well?

Speaker 12 (48:26):
It is absolutely desolate on the wire. Everybody has pretty
much everybody stashed.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Okay, I would say, man, because you're kind of middling,
so maybe try to trade, like I a minor for
a bench back to We're just trying to work on
some depth behind Bijon and genty because of one of

(48:52):
these guys go down, then you are rebuilding. I don't
really think you have a choice at that point. Like
Sam Darnold is keeping you in this. Caleb Williams has
been a QB one still and it's a super flex,
so that plus I mean Bijon, you know your foundational
pieces are keeping you in this and Genti hasn't even
hit a peek yet, so you you definitely have potential

(49:12):
to go either way through the rest of the season.
You could you could you know, make it to the
playoffs and push those chips in and go, or you
could get dropped. But this is a good year to
push your chips in and trade picks from twenty six
because you know, Fitsy and I agree, this doesn't look
like the best of classes this year. So if you
could trade, yeah, bugs, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
I know it's not a super sexy thing, but like
I feel like Troy Franklin might have a little dynasty appealed.
You might be able to get like a Tony Pollard
for a Troy Franklin.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Sure, And I think you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
It's yeah, Parker Washington too, a.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Guy who could keep you afloat in in in case
something were to happen with those guys and there was
a short term injury, because I think like a long
term injury to to Bijeon or Gentee is probably going
to sink you no matter what.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Right.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
But and just to be clear, the only penalty for
activating Abuca from the taxi is just having to cut
bait on one of these other guys like Ristrepo or Mullings.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Yeah. Then it like I don't think.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Ristrepo, Corley or Mullings have enough future value to let
that hold you back.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yeah, so I just keep tinkering with like because these
running backs Laquin, Alan de Mercado, Mullings, Uh, they're not
worth anything. So I just if anybody's on the wire,
those guys obviously go. If you trade, you know, one
for two, those guys also go. Uh, So I just
keep that in mind and work the wire. But I mean,

(50:51):
you're right on the cusp, so I would if I
if I'm anywhere close, I'm trying to move up. So
that's what I would do. If I were you, I'd
try to push tho chips in and just get extra
pieces as well, because you know, it's dynasty, so whatever
you get this year, you can also keep for the
long term. So yeah, just keep hammering at it. You're
doing great. It's good work.

Speaker 12 (51:12):
Perrect sounds good.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
You got it. Thank you, my friend.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Yeah, those are those are always the fun teams. Bog
the surprise contenders, and I have one. I have a
question for you regarding a surprise contender. We'll save it
for the very end of the show. Let's get through
these chat questions.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
I like it. Let's let's get first hit us. Who
are we going to first here?

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Our guy Bunting, he asks, mid season teardown or ride
it out? He's checking in on this team. He's three
and four, sixth in points, four out of ten teams.
He's feeling tear down but very sad. About that with
the upcoming draft class, Yeah, not a lot to get
excited about in twenty twenty six. So basically, if he

(51:58):
sells off, he's just worried. Wiring twenty twenty six picks
is not going to be too fruitful. So looking at it,
he's got a quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray. It's
like Brussette, Mario and at Kirk Cousins on the bench,
Christian McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Remandre Mananguy, wide receiver, Ceedee Lamb,
DJ Moorese Flowers, Wattle, Hunter, Kean at Buka. You skip

(52:24):
gold at tight end hockey purpose? I heard that I did.
I did not mean to skip golden Golden uh and
tight end could probably use an upgrade.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Hackinson Friar move.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
I'm okay with Hockinson. I don't know, maybe I'm being
a little too Pollyanna, but this is a good team,
right like, and you can trade off, but I think
the best piece to trade off here is Remondre. I
don't know realistically if you're getting good stuff for him,

(52:58):
right So maybe it'd be like a reminder is to
go get you know, maybe somebody hurt, Like maybe you
can give some depth pieces to go get neighbors, you
know what I mean, like something like that. That would
be a good move if you are going to tear
down man. This is kind of this has been on
a quicksand here because I feel like Christian McCaffrey's going

(53:19):
to get hurt one hundred and eighty five touches through
seven weeks, FITZI like he is either a witch or
he's going to get hurt, right like, or everyone needs
to be taking these stem cells or whatever he got
in Germany, right like. This is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Boy, Bunting does have some rock stars in this team.
Home's is the top three quarterback if not QB one, McCaffrey,
a top three running back if not running back one,
CD Lamb, a top three receiver ATBUCA is probably a
top ten receiver the rest of the way, you know,
and then some Eastent supporting pieces with Wattle, Chase Brown,

(53:54):
Ze Flowers.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
So because we've got this.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Twenty twenty six problem vaunting, I'd be inclined to write
it out and see where the ride takes you other
than tear it down. If you lose your next two games,
then maybe you've changed the script.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
But I would. I would keep going at it. And
you know the only thing is, like.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
I'm not willing to make a go for it now
trade with this, like I'm not trading away Matthew Golan
to patch up tight end or trading away I know
who else in this team, Travis Hunter to try to
improve running back dep I just kind of post on

(54:40):
what you have for now and maybe reassess in another
couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Yeah, I'm I'm with you on that, FITZI this is
this is a really good squad. I don't think you
want to do too much consolidating. But I'd play with it,
you know, see what you get because he's got like
the draft picks. Who he's got three seconds rounders for
next year, he's got two first for twenty seven. Yeah,

(55:05):
so I would, you know, I would start exploring some
trades and stuff like that. But yeah, I mean, like
Fitz said, you have three great pillars here. I don't
know long term what McCaffrey has. So this might be
the year to push in or it might be the
year to float Christian McCaffrey and see if you can
just get a massive haul for him. I don't hate

(55:27):
that either. So but I'm not trading Lamb and a
lot of these white outs. I'm not trading either, like
Fit said.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Yeah, And with your follow up question, bought taking about
some of the trading some of the wide receivers for
running back depth, like, I just I don't think you
should trade any of the young wide receivers, you know,
I think you should just kind of be in a
holding pattern.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
No, yeah, I think I'm with you for the most part.
Fifty come back with some with some trade offers that
you get next week. Bunting, we'll go over or you know.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
M yeah, Funting.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
By the time the time I'm here with Ryan Wormley
in two weeks, maybe you'll have a clear outlook on
how the rest of the season is going to go.
Herbs and Cheese asked how much of the short term
outlooks for Kamara and Chase Brown changed after this past week.
Us Kin, I take this one. I have a pretty

(56:22):
succinct answer on both of these. I think it's looking
up for Chase Brown Blacko is he understands the assignment.
It's it's back to sort of a deluded version of
what the Joe Burrow offense was supposed to look like.
And we saw it pump up Chase Brown's value against Steelers.
He's not getting the hyper usage that he had last year.

(56:43):
They're mixing in Samaj p Ryan now, but like he
went from being sort of out of running back two
range to now, I think he's at least a solid
running back to for sure a top twenty running Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
I think so too. I just just a little bit
of competency in this offense at quarterback has completely changed it.
So uh yeah, I think uh. I think Chase Brown
is gonna be fine.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Kamara, this doesn't look good to me. Boggs, Yeah, I
think the end is near with Kamara. He just doesn't
look explosive.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
He else, by the way, does he love New Orleans
that much? I know that is great, But go ring
chasing man long career, go get it, go to the
Chiefs or something.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
It's surprising for sure.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
And Kellen Moore, I know he has never really utilized
the running backs in his passing game that heavily. And
when Kamara does catch passes like it's like three catches
for four yards.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
No, it's just.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
So I don't necessarily think the Kendre Miller injury is
any sort of big boost for Kamara's outlook. I think
they're just going to give Devin Neil the Kendre Miller carries,
and Devin Neil is a prospect.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
Bogman and I both liked I.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Like him better than Kendry Miller. But Henry Miller was
looking good. I have to admit that, like I was
looking good, I was out on him. I kind of thought,
you know, look, Dennis Allen didn't like him. I'm sure
he's not going to you know, he's got to be
better with this coaching staff because I think Dennis Allen
hated his guts. So because whenever they'd ask him about him, hey, yeah,
you can't stay on the field, not gonna be on

(58:25):
the field, and then finally he gets on the field,
and then of course he gets hurt again. So yeah,
it looks like Henry Miller might be made out of glass.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Yes, I think we have one more question before I
hit you with mind Bogs. It's from Jack. He asks,
first year of a ten team PPR dynasty, I'm demolishing
in a good way six and one thanks to you
Fantasy pros. But got offered to sell Garrett Wilson for
a high twenty twenty six second and Jalen Warren. Wide

(58:58):
receivers are currently JSA, Garrett Wilson, Deebo and Rashie Rice.
Running Backs are Gibbs, Javante and Kyron.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Thanks, guys, I'm keeping Garrett.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yeah, yep, the second is nothing, right like it maybe
might be something at that point, but right now it's not.
It's fairly worthless. I love Warren, but he's not Garrett Wilson.
He's not in Garrett Wilson's zip code in my opinion,
so uh yeah, I'm keeping. I keep it Wilson. Like,

(59:30):
if you were desperate at running back, maybe I would
consider this. I don't think it's completely unfair. But you're fine.
You got Gibbs, Javante and Kyroen. You're doing great. So
you know what, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Keep rolling, Jack, great team, Yeah, and rolling with it Jack.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
We are.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
We do not like the class of twenty twenty six, right,
so also second round pick, even a high second in
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Doesn't really move the needle that much.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
And we like Garrett Wilson and more than much much
much more than Jalen Warren.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
I like Jalen Warren Boggs saying, I'm not geez.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
I think in my Week eight rankings I have him
like running back sixteen and the Packers have given up
like the second or third fewest fantasy points to running back.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
I mean, Garrett Rogers using him in the you know,
in the past Game two has been excellent. He's been
great there. So we might be a little low on
Jalen Warren, but he has been Uh, he's been outstanding.
And they're not giving the ball to Caleb at all.
Right now. I mean he got a little bit a
couple weeks ago, but that was because they're playing on
Thursday night, and then on Thursday night he got nothing again.

(01:00:37):
So yeah, I'm I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Like, I'm Garrett Wilson man.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
But Garrett, poor Garrett Wilson was rocking out at the
beginning of this season, Like, can we ever get Garrett
Wilson a quarterback who isn't a bomb?

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
We do that? Please? That would be so nice?

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Uh well, all right, bog let me let's end this
show with my my big question for you here. Okay,
so my home Dynasty League is a best ball and
because I rolled Yachtzi in the rookie draft with a
Mecca Abuka, Teteroa McMillan, Tyler Warren, and Cam Skataboo. All

(01:01:18):
of a sudden, my team is a contender. I'm five
and two. It just lost a dog fight with the
offending guy who's won two of the last three years.
So this team is good and I'm looking to go
over the top. And it's a best ball So like
just sort of adding fuel to the fire, is you know,

(01:01:40):
a good thing? I can replace some of my really
non contributing players. A friend of mine, who happens to
be a Green Bay Packer season ticket holders, cooked up
this offer where he would trade me the old ex packers,
all of them Aaron Rodgers, who I kind of need
because my three quarterbacks Sam Darnold is terrific. But then

(01:02:00):
the other two are Tua and Kyler, who all of
a sudden, I'm not feeling good about you trade me
Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and Aaron Jones, and I am
perfectly willing to give up my twenty twenty six first.
That would be part of the deal, without question. What
other pick would you be willing to move to make

(01:02:21):
this happen? He's looking for twenty twenty seven stuff. I
told him a first is out of the question. He
wance a second. I feel like a third, twenty twenty
six first and a twenty twenty seven to.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Third is fair for that package of three.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
So you feel about Aaron Jones and what else?

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Aaron Rodgers? This one key be super flex. I guess
it's best ball, but.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Are you super flex?

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Super flex?

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
And I'm giving him back some very inconsequential pe Max
Brosmer and.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
I'm giving him back I.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Mean mix Prosby might be a coach next year, you
know what I mean? Like, I know he's he's third
or whatever in Minnesota, but that is very.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
They talked about maybe starting him on Thursday night whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
He's not starting.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Apparently they're going to start Wentz now, but Wentz it's
pretty banged up, super no, I.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Know, yeah, yeah, I mean, but that's like giving him
Nick Mullins, you know what I mean, Like, uh, maybe
he gets a starter too, but he's not gonna stay
in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
It's mainly just the picks is all we have to consider.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
I want to do it with the third, but I'll
say this since it's super flex. Uh, if he presses
you and you have to give him the second, I
just go ahead and do it, you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Know, uh seven second.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
I mean, like we said before, when you are good
in the standings, it gives you no leverage you know,
future wise in those picks and everything. So I think
when it comes down to it, I'd end up buckling
giving him the second, but I would wait, you know,
hold out as long as you can and see if
you can stick it with stick him with the third instead,

(01:03:59):
so you know, uh, I don't think he's probably not
getting a better offer than a first and a second
for those guys, right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Correct, yeah, correct, Rogers is going to be This is
probably Rogers last year. I can't, I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
You know. And Aaron Jones, this is it, thirty year
old committee.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Back, Yeah, this is it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
Aaron too.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
I think he's done. I think he's gonna be on
TV next year, so probably yeah. I would be willing
to do it for the second, just to you know,
make sure I get my uh my ring this year,
but hold out for the third. Is he gonna listen
to this?

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
Good question?

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
Am I cutting this whole part.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Exactly? But editors.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
This last part out. That's hilarious, just kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Uh yeah, I think i'd be I want the third,
but I'd be willing to do it with the second.
I would, you know, draw a line in the sand.
There is what I'd say.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
So all right, that's that's fair, and that's kind of
where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
That's right, you can catch me here of course, I'll
be on Betting Pros a lot more this week. You know,
Joe and I are doing the Thursday and Monday night games,
and I think my record be way better if I
had more than one game to pick five props from FITZI.
But I'll just be jealous of you quietly over here.
But I'm like floating right around five hundred. Went three

(01:06:15):
and zero in the Detroit game last night, and then
zero to two on this Sin Seattle game. So three
and two last night, but Collins got hurt. I think
Tory Horton got hurt as well, but he only got
targeted like once or twice. But it's totally solow. But
I'll be on there and of course college football with
Seth Wilcock and Trell Furman later this week in this

(01:06:35):
league with the Welsh and all the stuff and things
