(00:47):
what has been the biggest question that's been asked to
you this week? What is on everybody's mind? What are
they asking you about.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm trying to thank gotten a decent amount of question
about the Giants running back situation. I think that's kind
of a bit perplexing to I'm a young guy, another
player where we're getting a lot of questions because it
looks like Swift is gonna play, so unfortunately a lot
of stuff that's injury related, and when it's earlier in
the week, you just don't have all the information, so

(01:18):
it's hard to make a decision, especially when we don't
even get injury reports for guys playing on Monday night
like Barkley until today on Thursday, so I don't even
know if those have been released yet. But yeah, I
know we want to set our lineups for Sunday on Wednesday,
but sometimes it's okay. We can just be a little
bit patient, although you do sometimes run to issues when
there's guys that are injured, but then you also have
guys you can start to play on Thursday, which is

(01:39):
obviously where you definitely need to make some of these
tough calls.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, yeah, some of the calls. Some of the calls
are tough. I typically in those situations, I wait and
see and then pick somebody else up if I have to.
But if the better players on Sunday, but we will see.
Let's start here with bucks Man. Bucks Man, you're up,
he got for us today. My friend, Hey, guys, I
was going good with my friend.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Doing a question on my leaf that I've been in
the longest I start.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
I'm on a three game loser street start off.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Five to one, five four, and I need help with
my RB two and flex my options for RB two
with the tyrone Tracy, manag Gay or Shot White, and
then would you start two of those guys or would
you start Alec Pierce?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Start one of those guys and start Alec Pierce.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Or t mac oh. I know you are big on
Alec Pierce Erickson, So what are your thoughts on this
FLEXI question here?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I think this is a good problem to have. I
think that a lot of these guys are in pretty
favorable spots this week. I still think you've got to
roll out Manongui, Bucky Everson play for Sean White just
he sees such a high amount of volume in the
Bucks offense that it's hard to keep him on the bench.
I get the Patriots are really tough matchup for running
backs as rushers, but they're not nearly as good defending

(03:05):
running backs in the passing game. So we know that's
where we're Shot White, that's really where he operates best anyway.
And although I have confidence that Tracy is going to
bounce back. It's still a possibility that we do see
a decent amount of Devin Singletary too, where I'm less
concerned about Sean Tucker, even though I know we saw
him get a decent amount of work the last time
we saw the Bucks play. I've just seen a ninety

(03:25):
percent snapshare from Shad White in his Bucks offense, and
that's just really hard to beat that type of floor.
So I like those running backs, and I me, yeah,
peerce is is is a really good flex play. So
is it three guys that you need, bucks Man?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I need I need one one RB two and then
a flex So either two running backs or one running
back and one of the receivers.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I would have a need personally, But I know Ericson
you are a big Alec Pearce guy this week. Wels
was telling me that earlier. So between White and Pierce, Yeah,
are you just you got roll White to the snapshare
or the Yeah, the snapshare and touch share.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah. I usually lean towards running backs just because they
offer a higher floor than receivers and you also get
decent ceiling outcomes. He plays for the Buccaneers offense, which
is really really good. They're playing at home and yeah,
so I think I would lean on the rocketting backs,
but I think you're in a scenario where I don't
think you can go wrong here, bucks Man. Yeah, and also,

(04:25):
bucks Man, this is another week where you come on
and ask us a question about a Buccaneers player. Every
week it's always do always play my Bucks and usually
we're right when we play the Bucks. So you gotta
roll with White and the nun guy.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's a good matchup this week, enemies this week. I
like it. So that'll be a fun Sunday for y'all.
Appreciate it. Bucks Man, great question, my friend. Let's see
who is up next? Here? We have Bolt up? What's up?
Bolt Up? How we doing? What can we do for
you today? My friend?

Speaker 5 (04:55):
I have a couple of things my superplex I have
justn't feel and Gino Smith has options to play. Stafford
is my main quarterback, So trying to figure out do
I take a chance with Justin Fields or do I
put Gino Smith in and hope for the best tonight
and then I have a drop.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right, let's do that one first, ericson what are
your thoughts on Gino versus Justin Fields?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
So as a reminder for the extra point. We don't
answer Thursday Night questions, or we try not to because
this goes live after Thursday Night is posted, so it
doesn't help anyone that's listening to it that's not in here.
But we'll make the exception because we didn't give the
we didn't say at the top.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's all good.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's all good. I know people people see the questions
in any way. I see it. But if you have
a Thursday Night question story in the chat and I'll
answer it later. But just for if you're coming up
on stage, just try to keep the Thursday Night questions
at bay. That being said, you got to play. Justin
Fields don't play against the.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Podcast against Cleveland. I think that is the b I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't trust Geno Smith against the bro goes.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, that's that.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I I Justin Fields could get score more points and
a half before he gets benched as a rusher.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
I've been hearing some more scatter that he may or
may not play this week on Fantasy pros, So I
was like, uh, oh, Fields play at all, they might
bench start.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
He could get Yeah, I mean, I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Mean if he doesn't start, then you just drop Field
to pick up Tyron too.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Sure he's marked out because I have a three quarterback limit.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I mean I would you probably have to. I mean
Field isn't gonna start this week, then is he going
to start? I mean the rest of the season might
be Taylor's the quarterback, right yeah?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Or I just roll in with some other guy in
the super Flex, right yeah, sure, Yeah, I need to
drop somebody to unlock my roster of Booty Boute, Shakir
Rondo Robinson or Green Bay Booty.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, he's injured and we know when he's gonna come back.
So yeah, I'm strange, so you can drop that.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Seems like he was being touches too, so he's getting
replaced by the other guy.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
Yet.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
All right, thank you guys, appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
You got a bolt up.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Bolt up.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I told about Thursday as well. It is Thursday all day,
so as we're recording this, But Ginzer, what is up?
My friend? Gins? Are how you doing here?

Speaker 7 (07:23):
I'm here?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
What do you got for?

Speaker 7 (07:26):
Erickson's not going to escape a face off question.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Even though here now I'm allowed to because well, forgot
to give me credit for finishing top eight this week
in the rank in the rankings competition. He gets to
buy this week, I get the face off by yes.

Speaker 7 (07:42):
Okay, well Erickson is a fellow Sad Tucker Craft owner.
Are you like I'm on my it's like Loveland and
then waiver wire guys. You know, I know Comet's probably
gonna be out this week, so Loveland's a play. But
do we like him rest the season or are you
just going to be streaming in the leagues where you're
because there's nobody who's going to be valuable rest of season.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, it's it's pretty tough if you don't have a
guy like Lovelin where you can kind of paint the
picture of this can be a player that could break out.
He's a really talented rookie high draft pick, so he
may just be hitting his stride again. He's not going
to play the Bengals ever again this year, and he
probably won't ever have his highest scoring game as he
did last week. But Ben Johnson doesn't or Ben Johnson

(08:26):
drafted him for a reason and believes in the talent.
It's a good game script environment this week against the
New York Giants, So yeah, I think I would just
with some of these tight ends, you know, Gadsden. He
had one good game and he rolled into another good game,
he rolled to another good game, and it just continued
and he became a focal point in the Charters offense.
And now he's part of the offense moving forward. So
if if a commet miss Is Lovin has another big game, yeah,

(08:50):
I think that Love is going to remain a staple
in this offense. At least offers some type of floor
which are going to get for most waiver wire tight
ends anyway, and then maybe a ceiling like he did
this past week, because he's a really talented player. So
I'd rather hold on to Loveland even if you know,
like projections will say, oh, Dalton Schultz as like one
point higher projection this week, that doesn't matter to me.

(09:12):
It's about the long term out look where Loveland's upside
on a week to week basis is significantly higher. So
even though Schultz like looks like a decent play this week,
he's a floor play. Like we all we know that
from his ability and what he skill set is with
Davis Mills as the Texans quarterback, So I know, like
I'm gonna pinch this week where there's no one so
I have to play Schultz, but after this week, I'm

(09:34):
gonna beediately look to the wave wire to see if
there's anyone else that has more upside than Schultz for
the rest of the season, because I know available, He's
not available, which is really unfortunate. So I would say
I mentioned this on one of the shows, maybe it
was not one of the live streams, but I think
Kyle Pitts is kind of like a low key like

(09:55):
trade tight end target. He has a really good schedule
and I couldn't believe when I wrote down the statistic,
but he's third in the NFL in tight end receptions
this year.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Third.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Wow, it's crazy. Kyle Pitts Now he only has one touchdown,
which is why it hasn't really popped into fantasy numbers,
but he's significant outplaying Darneld Mooney as like the number
two pass catcher alongside Drake London. So Pitts is a
guy that if someone has n't as like their second
tight end, maybe you can send a bench running back
or wide receiver for Pits if you lost Kraft.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So this was We talked a lot about Pits in
the Dynasty Show with FITZI, and you know, FITZI was
right there. He's like, I think this is the year
that Kyle Pitts bounces back. And I said, are you
putting on your clown music, your clown makeup as you're
saying this, you know, because that was the meme going on.
But Pitts has look great and he is a very
good option. But I think you're right in the fact

(10:47):
that lak Colson Loveland was a first half of the draft,
first half of the first round pick, right, So the
talent is in there, it's just opening it up a lot.
Like you know, we saw Roman Dunes be a high
pick and a lot last year. Maybe this is just
Loveland finding it midway through the year. Obviously Kamet has
been hurt and they have a lot of options. So

(11:09):
I think, you know, viability from a week to week
basis is probably not as good as those high end guys,
but Loveland has way more upside than like you know,
Ericson mentioned here Schultz and A. J. Barner and Ertz
without Jayden Daniels, those guys may score outscore him on
a week to week basis, you know, depending on the week,

(11:29):
but he's above that group because of the upside I'm
right there with you, ericson, thank you Chinzer, great question,
my friend, you have a follow up.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
I got one more here. So I've got Shahed who
obviously we like the situation. He's going back to coordinary
he had last year with Kubiak. Do we want to
wait a week? Did we think there's not going to
be any sort of like ramp up, He's just going
to go back to his normal thing. Or would we
feel more comfortable playing that wide receiver too in Denver

(11:57):
who had a great game last night because I maybe
played him.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I would rather play the other guy over Shaheed because
of him going Now, this is a scenario where you
know he knows the system. He's kind of a one
trick pony, so it shouldn't be too difficult to run
the same routes. So he's in a better position than
a lot of traded wide receivers would be in week one.

(12:22):
But Eric's and I think I'm still the week that
these guys get traded. I think I'm still waiting one week.
What's your thought in general on those guys getting moved.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, I think it does depend on the situation, because
we've seen receivers get dropped into situations where they know
the quarterback, they know the system, and it's kind of
like all systems go. And then we've seen other scenarios
where it seems like it never actually material orrizes into anything. Yeah,
Amari Cooper Dad never really basically turned into anything. So

(12:56):
that being said, just play Troy Framklin Schinzer. Come on,
you know the rules, you're not. This isn't your first rodeo,
you know the roles.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
This is just confirmation, just confirmation for Genser.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
So I'm glad I played him last night.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
Nice to touchdown game for me.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
What a game, man? He was great, wasn't I? Thank you? Ginzer.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
He is also ranked higher in ECR Yes by a
pretty hefty margin.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah exactly, So I'm with you. You know, you just
roll with the devil, you know at that point, not
to say that she heats gonna have a bad game,
but we just don't know what's up lefty? How you
do with my friend? What do you got for us?

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Where's it going?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Guys?

Speaker 8 (13:33):
So you give me some advice last week to just
hold the course with a must series of must when
weeks had to do so did that? Unfortunately, Canine and
Charps is my RB two flex didn't exactly pay off.
What I'm trying to figure out this go around is
I picked up Bray Davis off Waivers, assuming that this
Cook injury, you know, is a thing, and I'll have

(13:53):
him as RBI two. But assuming that I need to
give a flex, then between those you rather flex canine sharps,
h J or downs if Hook goes down.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hook was back at practice today, so I don't think
you're very well. So no, I mean, it's still it's
still smart to pick up because you never know. Guys
can get re injured. And he got nicked up a
little bit in the game last week, so I wasn't like,
I'm so surprised that he dnp and on Wednesday, But
you still you never know the severity some of these
injuries where guys get banged up in the game, they

(14:28):
go back, it's not really big deal, and then the
team sometimes gives them the next dray off just because hey,
you know, you're it's all about just getting ready for Sunday.
Like these guys most of the players don't even do
anything in practice anyway. So that being said, I would
still probably just roll with one of the Seahawks running backs.
I still think that they're in a pretty good spot here.
Now I'm just trying to look better.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Is is Walker better or is it still Charmine for
the touchdown upside because they've been running that touch push
with Barner at the goal line too.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
So yeah, so you have So that's that's extremely tailting
for anyone that has anything invested in the Seahawks running backs.
And now I would say that Ken Walker, Now it
wasn't a blow out obviously against the Commanders, but he
had pretty encouraging overall usage in terms of his snapshare,
and he actually saw more of the goal line touches
in that game, not Zach Scharboney. So does that whole

(15:19):
rest of season, I don't know, but at least in
this one game sample size, it was positive for Kenneth
Walker coming out of a bye week. So I saw
a little bit. And this kind of didn't really pop
up in the box score because needed Seahaws running back
really did anything. But I was at least encouraged that
Walker was seeing more of the goal line touches, although
neither of them scored because Barnet got the touchdown and

(15:42):
Sam Darnold was throwing much touchdowns, So I would continue
to roll with Ken Walker. He's a more explosive guy.
He's using more in the passing game last week as well,
which was also encouraging, So I would go with him.
Heavy home favorites against Arizona Cardinals, go with Walker.

Speaker 8 (15:57):
That's assuming Davis plays. So if Davis doesn't play, you'd
have Canaine as my RB two. Who would you flex?
Then would you put? You put in sharps rather than
QJ or downs just to kind of mitigate the the
t D risk.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I think I probably played QJ and hope for a touchdown,
But you think.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
That QJ is a better odds of scoring. They're playing
the Steelers, so the Steels Stevens has been basically bad
in every single game they played this year except for
last week. And even so, like Daniel Jones still got
a bunch of points and the receivers still scored a
bunch of points.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
They were playing turnovers only one by a touchdown. Yeah,
I remember.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
I guess for me, it's I just get concerned with
QJ in his role because he's running so many go
routes and Joe alt is gone. Like this charge offensive
line is a mess.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
They're not going to give Mississippis, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
That's and if he's if he's holding onto the ball
or he just doesn't have enough time to hold onto
the ball to let QJ get down field for him
to throw it.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
And but so who are the other options? It's QJ
and Charbon and who I think.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
I just played both Seahawks running backs just that way
their combined effort. Look last week, I don't think, I mean,
you're not a Sae Sam Donald throw four touchdowns every
single week. I think they're going to see the running
and as it. And we talked about Rashie Shaheed, so
something that I didn't even think about when he got
traded as a vertical deep threat. He can open things

(17:18):
up in the run game for the Seahawks, which I
kind of didn't even really realize. But when you go
back and look at how effective Alvin Kamara was last
year in the first six weeks of the season for
the Saints, I mean, Albu Kamara right now looks like
absolute dust. Just one year ago in this kubiek offense,
with Shahed on the playing as part of an integral
part of that, he was helping opening things up for

(17:40):
the run.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Game, because Tory Horton was kind of doing a decent
job at that specifically with Cooper Cup going down, it
may just be get Cooper Cup off the field, put
Shahead or Horton, and true, I think they would have
been okay with Horton, but I know Shahid has familiarity
and experience and all that, So.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I think it's just another threat that they have to
Teams have to account for it because eventually teams are
going to have to try to figure out to stop
Sam Darnold.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Right.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I think that's going to help because I have Toyo
yeah bunch, and.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
I think that's going to help out the run game. Actually,
as like another low key winner of the Shihi trade.
So yeah, I'm I would roll again. I'm not I'm
not overly convinced or excited about either receiver option you
listed out, So I'll just take the floors with the
running backs, hope for some touchdown upside at home as
touchdown favorites against the Cardinals.

Speaker 8 (18:25):
Right, and then one more if you guys don't mind,
So that would go from like a must win situation too.
I'm six and three basically guaranteed to the playoff run,
trying to figure out what to do with this team
to kind of prepare for it. I'm pretty heavy on
the RB side, like I've almost given up faith in
Bill and Ferguson's also having some issues. Who would you
what kind of moves would you potentially make to strengthen

(18:46):
this team given that we're going to be going to
the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
So it's hurt CMC Daddle, Sharps, Harvey with London, DeVante, Sutton,
Franklin and Ferguson at tight end, Like maybe you could
get better at tight end. Ferguson playing pretty decent though.
I think you're doing okay. Man four. What do you
like in point scored and point scored against? Are you

(19:10):
high in point scored?

Speaker 8 (19:11):
Oh, it's annoying. I have some of the most points scored,
the most points against to be four and five with
that team.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
See, so it's pretty rough.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
So yeah, but you're doing everything you possibly can. You
can't set the schedule right. This is pretty good.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
So and this's my first time fantasy too, so I've
just I've basically been getting.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
In the welcome to fantasy that is that is occasionally
how it goes. But I think I'm going to do
in my leagues what they do in flex and a
lot of leagues have picked this up. I just my boy,
seely does it a bunch is where you play your
opponent and then you play the median score of the week.
So you would probably be you know, thirteen and five

(19:52):
if that was the case. So I think because you're
scoring so many points, this team is pretty good. Do
you have any suggestions ericson.

Speaker 8 (20:00):
What can I can I tell you I got one
trade offer from a guy who's desperate with RB. He's
he's looking at Dowdell. He's trying to package Lad and London.
I Starry Lad and Jefferson for Dowdle and London. I
just told him no, straight up, like, I don't think
that's the way to do it. But do you guys
have any suggestions on potential moves to make What.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Do you think about that?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's nothing? Was it so Jefferson? And who else?

Speaker 8 (20:25):
Was it Jefferson in Lad for Dowdell and London?

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Pass definitely?

Speaker 9 (20:33):
No.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, that's yeah because right now, because it's like you're
pretty locked in with your top guys across the board,
I mean, good quarterback the tight end, two strong running backs,
two strong wide receivers, and then you have a kind
of flurry of different guys you can mix in for
flex plays. That again, they're flex plays, right, They're not
always just locked and load, and you can mix up
who you want to play. So I don't know if

(20:55):
I would blow it up. You're getting your six and three,
so that's pretty pretty good. I mean, maybe you try
to break apart some of the Broncos that you have
just because you have a lot of Denver, but that's
not necessarily a bad thing. Denver has a good record
and is an offense that for the most part's been
pretty good for fantasy football purposes. I mean, maybe Sutton
or Franklin is someone that you end up moving. Maybe

(21:15):
I don't like frank Goe tharted eating a little bit
of Sutton's target share. Again, it's not like Sutton has
been terrible. Last week was a tough matchup for him.
Maybe you can get someone to overpay for him as
a look at someone looking for a wide receiver, especially
if he has a good game against the Raiders. So
that's really it for me. I don't see any like glaring. Oh,
this is like a guy you got to get off
your roster. And I mean Ferguson ye had kind of

(21:37):
been disappointed last couple of weeks, but I mean he
still is a, you know, for tight end standards, someone
that you can start with pretty high confidence that he's
at least going to deliver a floor for you every
single week. I don't know, boxing anything else that you
kind of see here, there's just no one on this roster.
It's like scream cell get rid of this guy, or like,
oh you gotta Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
This is a weird case of it isn't broke, so
don't fix it, you know. So, I think you're doing
fine here. I I probably wouldn't mess with it too much.
I would roll with what I have specifically because I'm
scoring so many points, so I think you're gonna be okay,
okay here, Lefty, I wouldn't. I wouldn't mess with it,
I guess.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I guess if I was looking ahead, I would try
to get Brian Robinson on my roster because you have McCaffrey.

Speaker 10 (22:20):
So so should I just should I just.

Speaker 8 (22:24):
Drop Ray Davis?

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Then the guy?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (22:30):
Davis.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I would drop Ray Davis?

(23:22):
What's going on? Devo? How can we help you today?

Speaker 11 (23:26):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (23:26):
How's it going? Two questions?

Speaker 9 (23:28):
One?

Speaker 11 (23:29):
Surprisingly, with Reesel not being traded, is Isaiah Davis worth
a drop at this point?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Or should you still hold him just in case of
an injury?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh, this is a great question. Ericson, I like to
hold Isaiah Davis. I don't know. Have we gotten any
good reports on Raylan Allen at all. I don't think
we really have I just I kind of like him
as a handcuff as well, but he's more than that.
So what are your thoughts on Isaiah Davis and keeping
or dropping in most spots?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I think it depends on what you're dropping him for, right.
I think anybody can be dropped for the right player
if you can get someone better off Waivers, I think
that he's less less great to hold on to because
Brisoli didn't get traded, to be honest, So I don't
think that he's no longer a you have to hold
him no matter what option, which he kind of was
before David trade deadline. I mean.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
They're kind of in the same group, I guess.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Davis just because there's one less running back, right if Samson,
if Judge were to go down, you'd still see like
Jerome Ford like in some capacity where there's no one
else left on the jets. Davis.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm sorry, Isaiah Davis or what he marks? What he
marks Isaiah Davis or Tyler here, that's a tough one. Huh.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh, sorry you know, oh I said I was here.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Sorry, Oh I didn't hear you at all. No, that
was weird. I was like, man, he was here a
long time on this one. Yeah, I think I'm with you.
I think there are some spots where I would, But
for the most part, I want to hold Isaiah Davis.
I think I think he's pretty good back. So what
was number two there? Devote?

Speaker 11 (25:01):
Yeah, So, uh, receivers, I got Nico, AJ Brown, Tet,
and Olave. Do I start Alec Pierce over any of them?
Assuming A. J. Brown actually plays.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
I would not play Alec Pierce. So of those other guys, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
That's uh, that's kind of where I am too. I
thought you were the Pierce guy. Welsh told me you
were this big promoter of Pierce. You were Pierce's guy.
You're his man in the chair. Is that not true?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yes, but it's still compared to the other player. I
mean it's like, just right, Alec Pierce wide receiver twelve,
just lock him in, like, I mean, I like him,
but like as a wide receiver three, I just think
that those other I mean Team AXA and Alpha Alve
gets a billion targets every single week. I mean, you're
starting AJ Brown and I don't remember the last guy

(25:48):
that he mentioned, but better than Pierce. So a top
ranked player.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
So yeah, okay, that's I just wanted to push you
on Alec Pierce because well said you would not stop
gushing and I was hurt badly by Alec Pearce last
week torturing my secondary. But I appreciate you Devo, good questions,
my friend. Let's see, we got big Booty Judy up next.

(26:14):
I love this name. Outstanding work here.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
So what's up, guys? Thanks for taking my question.

Speaker 12 (26:22):
I'm a little concerned this week because I'm starting Colston Loveland,
DJ Moore and Kyle Manong Guy all in the same
roster that's typically more Chicago.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Than I want.

Speaker 12 (26:34):
So can I get away with sending away Manong Guy
for DK Metcalf.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
H I mean, I think it's a good time to
try that because metcalf has been down for a little bit.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
I have the metcalf on.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
What are your thoughts, Erickson? Would you want Manoan guy
for Metcalf or is that maybe too much to pay
with all of the touches that manoguay I had last
week and maybe this week?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, Swift is probably gonna play this week, so I
don't think my young guy is going to get thirty
touches again unfortunately. So yeah, I think Metcalfa talked about
him as a by low. I know he was a
guy that I was not high on entering the season
and someone that I wanted to sell early on. But
I've been relatively encouraged by what I've seen what his
usuage has been in the Steelers offense. And last week,

(27:23):
yes he did he absolutely did nothing, but you could
attest to this box he had two targets right near
the goal line right he just didn't score. So usually
he's got pretty high touchdown equity in the Steelers offense.
In LESBC, someone like Calvin Austin or Roman Wilson really
step up and demand targets, which remains to be seen.
I mean, he's the alpha there and the Steers are

(27:43):
a pretty good schedule for wide receivers, so I think
that this is a smart way to capitalize on Kyle
and Unguy. I like Manungu a lot, but this is
a really strong return for a guy after he's coming
off a monster game where it's probably again you don't
get to play the Bengals every week, as much as
you don't like our players to play them every single week,
they don't, and we're going to see his production tail

(28:05):
off a little bit because Swift will be back, the
matchup's not as good. So I think this is a
smart deal to make.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
It was lovely to see the escalator of madness when
the Steelers couldn't get it done a couple of weeks ago.
I mean, this defense is so horrible. You're absolutely right
about that. I think that it could move more sixty
to forty in an On guy's favor, just because they
were getting close close to fifty to fifty before Swift
went down, and it was actually better for Swift honestly,

(28:34):
like to keep his juice in the fourth quarter against
gas defenses. I think is part of the deal for him.
So yeah, I think it's closer to fifty to fifty,
but I would probably rather have DK and most scenarios.
You know, maybe they limit Swift a little bit this
week because he's you know, coming off the injury and whatever.
So we see another really big week for Anon guys,

(28:56):
who it might not feel great if you do that
deal and Manon guy goes off. I think Ericson's right. Ultimately,
this gets back to you know, them splitting touches in
Metcalf has a decent schedule moving forward. Did you have
a second one there, Judy or was that your only question?
My friend?

Speaker 12 (29:11):
The other trade I was thinking about was trying to
get genty for Dj Moore in the no Guy.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
But I don't know if that's going to get it.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, it shouldn't. I mean, it never hurts the ask,
you know. I don't know that it's insulting or you know,
burning a bridge worthy. But we got a deal done
for Drettis a couple of weeks ago because she just
shot off the offer right and it worked out. So yeah,
I would at least offer it, but I would not
I would offer it without expectations of it passing or clearing,

(29:40):
just you know, kind of a wing in a prayer
where your thoughts, Erickson.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I would use the trade persuade tool as part of
my playbook and trade Central to craft the perfect messaging
to go along with that trade offer to give you
the best chances of it getting accepted.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
A exactly what I would do, Mmm, It'll write the
novel for you of why this is a good trade
for you and bad for me. But I'll do it
for you anyway, because I'm a nice guy. That is
amazing company. Man here Andrew ericson, I love it all right?
Who is up next? We have dbr So.

Speaker 9 (30:16):
Two quick questions. One is I'm in a running back pickle.
I have Etn and Harvey as my starters currently as
in one D two, but I have McBride and I'm
playing has named Chargers tight End. Yes, and I picked
up a Waivers tak you guts. So wondering trade targets
for McBride because I feel he has a lot more value.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Hmmm, it's going to be very high to trade McBride
for me, right.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I would agree, But I'm in a position where I
don't want to train McBride because Week seventeen he plays
the Cincinnati Bengals m and you're going to see a
lot of people win the Fantasys because they had tray
McBride that sole reason. So I understand that you want
to trade him for a strong return. But if you

(31:05):
make it to your championships and you have him like,
you're probably gonna win because of trading Bride. So that's
why I'm hesitant to trade him away again. If someone's like,
I'll give you Jonathan Taylor, Okay, then I guess you're
just gonna have to get trading Bride away. But I
would have to get that type of offer to move
off of McBride, knowing at least under the idea that

(31:26):
I have a good chance of making the playoffs. Like
I guess, I didn't ask you is your record? If
your record's really bad, I guess I could say moving
off McBride just so you can get into the playoffs.
But I'm looking ahead to some of these playoff matchups
and that McBride one is just oh it's the best.

Speaker 9 (31:39):
Yeah, I'm five and four with their most points scored.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay, so you're probably gonna be fine.

Speaker 9 (31:43):
And stacked that receiver. It's just I'm starting R J.
Harvey every week right now.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Well, I mean that's been a pretty good strategy so
far because he.

Speaker 9 (31:51):
Is scoring touch recently. It's been good. But just not
wanting to bank playoffs on touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
No, No, that definitely makes sense. So I think maybe
it's package for Gadsden. Yeah, maybe you package Gadson and Harvey.
You try to sell high on all the touchdowns you
give it to, and you just find a Tuckercraft manager
and just whatever whoever their best running back is you
give them Harvey, you give them Gadston, and you kind
of go from there.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Maybe that's a way that approach good idea. Yeah, try
to package them, move them together. I also think that
maybe Trey, would you give up Henderson for Gadsden?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yes, I would give up Gadsden to get Henderson. Yes,
I'd rather have Henderson.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Okay, Yeah, maybe that's a deal you can get because
he did have a lot of snaps and the production
wasn't quite there. So I think that's maybe a deal
that you can do and that at least gives you
another option and you get to keep McBride that way.
But it's a very specific deal and it may not work.
So just trying to throw out suggestion. So anything else
did vr?

Speaker 9 (32:48):
Yeah, just wondering Erickson's thought if he's hurt. Yesterday's YouTube
live stream of Set and Debro where Set and Debra
just committed you to growing a mustache?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh, yesterday admitted me to doing it.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
How do you How do you feel about knowing you
have to grow a mustache? Now, Ericson, does that make
you feel good or not good?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Missus Ericson is not going to co sign on that guys.
Sorry disappoint you want.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
We want you to look like a cop. Come on,
let's see happening. Excellent? Thank you, yeah, thank you for
making ericson squirm. It's one of my favorite things in
the world. Uh yeah, have you have you grown the
mustache before?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
No, it's only just like, oh, I just haven't shaved recently,
That's what happens.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I've I've also never like grown it out and worn it.
I have shaved the beard off and left the mustache
and taken a picture before. I mean, couldn't look more
like a cop for me? So, uh, look like I
needed some donuts immediately. So uh, let's see Matt Thistle

(34:00):
thisle what's going on? We got you?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (34:05):
So this week we have the classic number one versus
number two, So I'm kind of shooting for upside here
because I don't want to lose my number one spot.
Are we playing JJ McCarthy or are we playing Sam Darnold?
I do have another one after this one.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
I love that you casually threw in that you're the
number one. That's my favorite thing because it's exactly what
I would have done. So McCarthy versus Baltimore or we
have Who is it? It's uh, Sam Donald versus Cardinal Cardinals.
I hmm, I'm going JJ.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah. I think I like McCarthy as well. He's been
rushing a decent amount, especially near the goal line, which
I like. And I think the Cardinals defense isn't that bad.
I mean, they held Dallas under twenty points, made that
def that offense look kind of mortal, which has not
been easy to do. So yeah, I think McCarthy. Look
the Ravens playing shootouts, and I know their defense is

(35:08):
getting healthier. I don't think it's like an elite defense yet,
So yeah, macarthy's always kind of get from Miami.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
On Thursday last week, right, I think.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, that's also true, which we.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Hadn't really seen. They had done a good job of
not quitting, but it kind of seemed on Thursday they
were that second half was giving up and that made
Baltimore's defense look way better than it is. But I'm
still a believer in McCarthy. I just the weapons are great,
he has rushing upside, they're playing at home, secondary still
isn't good for Baltimore. So yeah, I think it's McCarthy

(35:40):
for me. It's hard to deny Donald he is on
a great heater. I was kind of worried about JSN
going into the year too, because I was like, man,
if they're going to Milrow at the end of the year,
because of the way Donald had finished off twenty twenty four,
I thought that that was in a possibility. I think
it's more likely Sam Donald is an MVP candidate then
he gets benched. So he looks amazing. But I'm with

(36:01):
you ericson that Cardinals defense looked way better, specifically with
Walter Nolan clogging up the middle now, so I'm McCarthy
for me, what was number two?

Speaker 10 (36:11):
So number two is probably one of the uglier flex
questions I've ever faced this season. I'm looking at Gadsdon,
Garrett Wilson if he's healthy, because he's sitting on my
ir spot still, so he's not taking up space right now.
So Wilson, Gaston or Videll.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
I don't think Wilson plays. What are your thoughts on
Wilson to start Rickson?

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I think that he is going to plays in practicing
this week, but I think I just played Ydell. He
just plays so many snaps in the Chargers offense, and
I just feel good about that. Banking the floor that
he offers versus Gadston and Garret Wilson coming off an injury.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
I think I would play Wilson if he's up. I'm
not one hundred percent convinced he's gonna play even though
he's practicing, so I would wait and see. I think
I would play Wilson because you mentioned it before too.
Ericson both starting tackles down for the Chargers, and Videal
did not look good last week. Patterson looked better, which
is weird to say. I mean, both these guys practice

(37:23):
squad guys before the season started, So I think I
would go Wilson if he plays. But Fidell I you
know the thing that Ericson is absolutely correct about with
Fidell is he will lead all these guys in touches.
So if you just want high floor, go with Fidell.
If you want upside, I would go with Kimpi Wilson.
But tough call. It's a good question. Not as ugly

(37:45):
as you thought. I thought you were gonna give us
like you know, I have to start, you know, like
Brian Robinson or Ali Gordon or something like that. I
thought it was gonna get that ugly so not as
bad as you thought, Matt Thistle, but a good question,
none the les, that's my friend.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, actually, you know, Bob. So I'm thinking about the
quarterback thing again. I think I think, I think I
don't want to stay with Donald. Honestly, I think I'm
getting my answer I because I'm looking at I'm looking
at my rankings and I had Donald originally ahead of McCarthy.
ECR has Sam Donald ahead of McCarthy and Donald man

(38:23):
he has been his QB finishes the last four weeks two, nine,
four and five, and they're adding like, yeah, like that,
you're getting Shaeen. I mean, she could just catch an
eighty R touchdown. So I guess I like I like McCarthy.
He's a good streamer this week. But I think if
you have Sam Donald ready, I think you just stay

(38:44):
in the flames. And although the Cardinals offense did as
we talked about, the Cardinals defense did look better against Dallas.
Dallas kind of stalled out in the red zone. They
went for a fourth down, didn't convert. So if a
couple of those drives turned the touchdowns, then maybe it's
a little bittle bit of a different day for Dak.
I don't think that act I looked particularly bad, kind
of like they just didn't really get lucky with the

(39:04):
terms of the scoring. And I said Carl's defense did
play well. I think it is close, but I think
I am I'm going to pivot back to uh, Sam Darnald.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
So any any chance we could get a mustache bet
on this, Erickson?

Speaker 6 (39:17):
Oh no, I'll.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Take McCarthy, you can take Donald. I'll shave it off.
I'll have the mustache for like three or four days
before I started growing the beard back, and you would
have to, of course grow the mustache. But well, listen,
I'm not I'm not trying to peer pressure you. I'm
just trying to get this done. You know our friends
want this done.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I'm trying trying to make it happen. Yeah, don't make excuses.
Make it happen.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Oh, I love the squirming you here means we're not
having this bet, by the way, that's uh, that is
what it means. But before we get two more questions,
I'm remind you guys about the Fantasy pros Twitch Out
of Bounds with Joe Welsh and myself returns Monday to

couldn't get that, couldn't get that mustache bet done? So
I will. I'll let you off the hook.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Eric.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
So I'm not going to peer pressure you here, So
I'll just just to let you know you're a coward though.
It's okay, It's fine, Colin. You are up next to
my friend. What can we do for you today?

Speaker 2 (40:46):
So?

Speaker 13 (40:46):
I got a few questions. First question is kind of
a boring question. So I have the Jaguars defense. Do
I just kind of stick with them with Mills getting
the start or Shy kind of go pivot and get
someone like I don't know, like the Bucks or the
Panthers or something like that.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
I would be okay with the Panthers, but I'm okay
with Jacksonville against Mills. But I think if it's if
it's not a big deal, I probably just roll with
the Panthers. What do you what are your one Erickson?

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, I think that it's there's not a huge difference
between those types of defenses. So in these situations, what
I like to do is I like to look at
who they play next week as an idea of, oh, well,
can I play this defense two weeks in a row. Unfortunately,
with both the Panthers and Jaguars, it's kind of like
so so matchups. I mean, the Panthers play the Falcons

(41:38):
and forty nine ers and then the Rams and they have
a bye week, So I don't know if you need
to like pick you have to drop the Jacks to
pick up the Panthers when their matchups are like eh.
And then the Jaguars they get the Chargers next week,
which have a bad offensive line, so that could be
a decent matchup. Then they play at the Cardinals, so
Jacobi and then the Titans, so a rookie quarterback. So

(41:59):
I think that jackson Will gives you more options outside
of this week, and I think they're a fine play,
so I think I would just keep them.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
There you go. What's number two?

Speaker 13 (42:07):
Yeah, friend, I was gonna say I would have to
drop Jacksonville to get the Panthers.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
I'll probably just stick with Jacksonville.

Speaker 13 (42:15):
And then my second one was so I lost unfortunately
Tucker Craft, but I did happen to trade Breshall Kareem
Hunt for Tyler Warren and Javonte Williams.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Is that a pretty solid deal?

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Or say one more time?

Speaker 13 (42:31):
I traded Breshall and Kaream Hunt for Tyler Warren and
Javonte Williams.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yeah, I like that deal. What are your thoughts that deal? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
I think it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I actually those are just a brag, didn't you?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Those are deals I wish I could do.

Speaker 13 (42:50):
Yeah, I still have Dwell and Travion Henderson, so I
have to play one of them because Williams.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Is on a bye this week, but I should be
good going forward.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, that's still a great deal man, and it's a
good week to start Henderson. So yeah, this deal is awesome.
You did a great work here.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
All right, cool, appreciate it. You all have a good one.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
You got a Collins. Thank you. My friend, I can't.
Is there if we added extra legs? Dude? You think
we can get to this mustache? Bet Ericson? Or should
I drop it? What we think here?

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Next question?

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Dretdis? What is going on? Dreddis? How we doing? Hey, guys,
what's going on?

Speaker 14 (43:34):
Not too much? Just one quick little add on Seth
did offer to pay you to do this bet Ericson?

Speaker 1 (43:41):
I was there? How much?

Speaker 6 (43:44):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (43:44):
He didn't mention numbers, So I mean, you know, go
at with what you got.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
I'm doing a VP show with him at the top
of the hour so we can discuss numbers.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
You know what. I'll double it. So now I just
want to see it because it's on the record. Annoyed,
what's your real question, Drettas, I got.

Speaker 14 (44:08):
A couple of real quick start, uh sick questions. I
need a flex between Viidell and Manongai. H. I'm going
for half PPR half PPR.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
But I still like but the offensive line scares me
a little bit there. What are your thoughts? Erickson agreed?

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Manongai easy, Okay.

Speaker 14 (44:31):
I'm a little worried with uh the bills going against Miami,
that they're going to do what they've done a couple
of times this year and just stick all the starters
and like in the third quarter. And so I'm trying
to decide between Josh Allen and Jackson Dart. I never
benching Josh Allen really, Okay, I thought I was just

(44:51):
a little crazy for that. But you know, there's about
six of us that are four and five, and it
doesn't go with points. It's who beaten whoever in the past.
So even though I've got the most points, I'm still
at the bottom in rankings because.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
He's got the best running her league over here. This
is crazy.

Speaker 14 (45:12):
It is crazy.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Yeah, I don't like that at all, but I guess
that's the way the cookie crumbles. But there's just not
there's just not a scenario where I drafted Josh Allen
and rostering him, where I start Jackson Dart over him.
You know, it'd have to be like he gets to
Josh Allen levels. So because if they do bench those
guys in the third quarter, it's likely because Josh Allen
has gone crazy and scored a bunch of points already.

(45:34):
So yeah, I've got to stick to Josh Allen in
my opinion.

Speaker 14 (45:40):
Okay, one last starts at for my two wide receivers
right now, I've got Waddle and Wandelle Robinson. Should I
just stay with him or maybe pick up Jennings, Dobbs
or Alec Pierce off the waivers. I know debro was
really big on Alec Pierce this week.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Those good options, but I don't I think I would
stick with what you have. What are your thoughts, Erickson?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah, I think that you're in a good spot. I mean,
Wattle has been really good with Tuah since Terry Kill
got injured. And Wan Dale is Jackson Dart's number one
wide receiver and he's been really, really consistent. So it's
a great matchup against Chicago Bears. So I think that
you should pick up Hears drop somebody else. A lot
of them on my roster, but I think that.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yes, okay, yeah, I think it's pretty even. I might
like Dobbs a little bit more, but we do have
Jayden Reid coming back eventually too.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
So Also, Dobb's is a tough matchup this week. He's
gonna see a lot of quin On, who's been a baller.
I know the other Eagles corners are not very good,
and that's why they traded for a bunch of guys
because they didn't they knew their their corners weren't very
good hit.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Some of these guys.

Speaker 15 (46:53):
So these corners, Yeah, I wish I could pick up
Alec Pearce that this league is one of those leagues
where everybody, even though it's one quarterback, everybody has like
three quarterbacks.

Speaker 14 (47:06):
So like, I don't want to drop Dart in case
something happens to album, because then I'm stuck with with
really horrible options for qbs. So like, I really don't
have anybody that I can drop to pick up Alec Pierce.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
This is a weird league. You're andrettas what's happening with
these people?

Speaker 6 (47:22):
I don't know?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Quarterbacks and one in a one quarterback league, I don't.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 14 (47:26):
I got calmed into doing my first paid league, and
I didn't know all these rules before I joined a.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Bunch of psychopaths.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
A minute that money becomes a factor, it just ruins everything.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Oh my god, listen to hippie ericson over here. I
never thought i'd see that. So got anything else? Jettis Nope,
that's it.

Speaker 14 (47:47):
I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Have a good one.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
You got it, lady, Thank you great questions, who is
next up here? We got swifties? What's up swifties?

Speaker 6 (47:57):
Are you guys doing you?

Speaker 1 (47:59):
My friend?

Speaker 6 (48:00):
Good? Thank you?

Speaker 16 (48:02):
So I am also a craft owner and lost him,
and I was going after Warren from the owner who
has Warren and brock Bowers, and he rebuffed me. He
sent me, let's see tij Spears, Mike Evans and Warren
from my Derrick Henry. Does that seem fair? I don't

(48:22):
like moving Derrick Henry.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
No, no, we're not moving Henry for a bunch of
injured players.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
So he why he's just giving you a bunch of
injured players, like to just get the roster.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
I feel like this he thought your trade was insulting
and sent you an insulting one back. That's what that
feels like.

Speaker 16 (48:41):
That kind of is kind of what I thought too.
He lost Jayden and I have Drake May. Would there
be any avenue there? Do you think to offer him May?
And maybe some running back that he only has jt.
Outside of that, he's got Gainwell and tij Spears at
running back and he's all you got Brocks. So I
figured he could lose warn.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
But so so what about like you couldn't get I
don't think Derek Henry and Tyler Warren are like totally
off value wise. I think that Derek Henry has more value.
But you need a tight end, and Tyler Warren is
shown he could be an elite tight end. So I
think that.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
If it matters my running back, storry to catch off.

Speaker 9 (49:22):
There.

Speaker 16 (49:24):
I've got kid Canine, I've got him. I've got Algier, Pollard,
Pacheco and Nixon on I R.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
I don't know why I still have him.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
So you're a pretty You're pretty weak at running back
depth too.

Speaker 6 (49:37):
Yeah, yeah, that's why I'm worried about it, Henry.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Okay, yeah, I feel like this. You guys shouldn't be
treating between both these teams. You probably shouldn't be treating
each other running backs because you both don't have running back.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Between you guys.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
So yeah, the running back for a tight end, maybe even.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Though he has two good ones, he just do you
have another?

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Do you have another quarterback?

Speaker 16 (49:57):
I picked up I picked up pretty as a backup
in case I can move me in this situation. I
realized he's not active. But then also somebody did just
drop I live in Seattle.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
What's his name? Donald? Donald? Thank you and I know
he's not great, but he has been on that here.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
As you said, I mean he's also been playing which
is not Rockberdy. So I think maybe you don't make
a move on this right now. Tyler Warren does have
another tough matchup this week against the Falcons, who've been
I know Debro points out a couple weeks, but like
the Falcons been really good against tight end. So I mean,
if he puts up like a third straight like bad game,
maybe the price for Tyler Warren gets a little bit

(50:36):
lower and you then go to approach him with another trade.
But I think right now these two teams aren't really
seeing eye to eye when it comes to like the
value of each of the positions. Because to be honest,
like I don't mind like selling high on Derrick Henry
per se. The Week sixteen match up against the Patriots
does kind of concern me for Derrick Henry just because
of how good they've been against running backs, especially like

(50:57):
on the ground rushing yards wise. I mean that's Derek
Henry gets all of his yardage. So I mean, again
it's nitpicking when you're talking about like the top running backs.
So it's not like I would just get rid of
him off your roster. That's not the case. But if
you can get a really strong asset back for Derek Henry,
if you're looking forward to the playoffs, I think that's
kind of smart to kind of think of it that way.
I think right now I would either try to approach

(51:18):
a different manager than this one, but maybe you ask
them next week if Tyre Warren has another bad game,
all right, that sounds good.

Speaker 6 (51:24):
I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
You got it, Swift, I appreciate you.

Speaker 17 (51:27):
All right.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
We got three quick ones here, right, uh, and then
we will be at and now, Ronan, what what do
you have for us? My friend?

Speaker 18 (51:36):
I picked up Sam Darnold, but I also have Jack
Prescott in the bye. Is it crazy to think you
could just go with Sam Darnald the rest of the
way or just hold on to him as the season
goes on, hold onto both in a one team league
or one KIPI league.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
I think I think he's fine to start this week
and then domp after this week. If you have Dak yep,
so that's what I do. I thanks Chris, you got
it easy man. That was real quick. Appreciate you running.
Let's see Penga, what's going on? How are we doing, Pengo?

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Yeah, we got you all right.

Speaker 17 (52:14):
So I'm in a sixteen team league of a full PPR.
My wide receiver room is great. I have Drake London,
h Ted McMillan, Davante Adams, and Juwan Jennings, but my
rbs are hurting. I have Mason two in Bam Knight, Spears,
Rishard Smith and McNichols, so obviously weakness there. I have

(52:35):
soft offers on the table the trade away Adams to
either get Saquon or Henry from two different managers, and
I'm trying to decide if it makes my team better,
if I'll score more in the long term. My team
is currently two and six or sorry, three and six,
so I'm a bit rough there, but just want to
give you guys thoughts.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Yeah, you definitely got to make a move for running
back because you're trotting out an RB two every week.
That is hurting your lineup, it seems like more often
than not. So even though you have a lot of
strong receivers, it's you're you are being kind of held back.
So I think you got to flip one of these
receivers for running back now, Barkley or Henry, Yes, Oggs,

(53:19):
do you have a preference on which one? I just
want to I just want to make sure Barkley is
like not injured, so like I think he would be
the one I would prefer. I just need to make
sure that he practices today or on Thursday or Friday,
because I know he went into the bye week with
an injury. Box you have any thought.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Barkley would be my my move as well, But I
honestly don't think it's wrong. Like if you if you
were moved to move Ran, there's not a wrong move.
But I'm absolutely one hundred percent with ericson. You got
to get a running back here. Uh the running backs
are real rough. It does look like you bought them
at a yard sale. So I would uh yeah, I
would go ahead and make that move. Barkley would be

(53:57):
my play. But if you are worried about the injury,
Derrick Henry is just just as good man, just as
likely to score a touchdown as Barkley as every week.
I think there's just more yardage upside on a week
to week basis for him Barkley and obviously the past
catching up side for him. But if you are worried
about the injury. Just flip to Henry. But I would
want to get one of them if I can. Pango.

(54:19):
All right, thank you, you got it, my friend.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Good luck.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Let's see last one here? Really him? What's going on?
How are we doing?

Speaker 4 (54:30):
He?

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Him doing pretty good? Sellas.

Speaker 8 (54:32):
How about yourself?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
You're a tow like I am a tew.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
You're in tow anyway. I just have a start sit question.

Speaker 17 (54:43):
Am I starting Kenneth Walker, Keenan Allen or Stefan Diggs
in the K nine from Me volume?

Speaker 1 (54:51):
What are your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Erickson Man, Okay, this one is definitely tight for me
and my rankings. I like, I already know because they're
all in that twenty range in position, so I know
they're probably all going to be like lined up back
to back to back. So I need to just because
I want to see what my rankings have. So you
think it's so you think it's Walker, a bullet Walker

(55:14):
or is it just that's your your lean.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Not like bullets, but like it's Walker, it's Walker, Digs
or who else? Who is? The third one is not Kenan?

Speaker 6 (55:27):
For me?

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Like Kean, there's just too many options there, so each
other and I would go with Canine.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
So they're literally all next to each other, all three of.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Them are stacked on top of each other.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Who's first, So technically it's digs. So I do like
the matchup against Tampa and Kayson Boody is not going
to play probably okay, So I think actually, and the
thing with Allan, Allan has touchdown upside. I mean I'll
have but it's just like, what format is.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
It in this week? But it could be Gadsden, it
could be lad Like.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
What format is it?

Speaker 6 (56:01):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (56:02):
What format is a half bpr?

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Okay? Dig?

Speaker 2 (56:11):
So I think I'm going digs. Yeah, I mean Tampa Bay.
We know that teams can throw on them. It should
be a shootout. I mean the Patriots are underdogs for
the first time in a while. And yeah, I mean
the Buccaneers are the past funnel defense. So Giggs could
see some volume.

Speaker 17 (56:27):
I I like Diggs, all right, cool, I'll stock him
with Drake May this week.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Then oh you got Drake that that would have made
an easy Bogs And they just said Drake Damis's carterack.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
