Hello Andrew Ericson, how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I'm doing fantastic, big win for the Pats last night
hammered the New York Jets, So feeling good man ready
for week eleven? Trade deadlines are approaching, so kind of
nice to kind of shift away from buy low, sell
high and just into hey, rest of season, Like, is
this guy gonna help me in the playoffs? Do I
drop this guy? Apparently it's landmine season, where okay, time

(01:39):
to drop Deebo Samuel as a landmine for somebody else,
Like apparently that's like where we're kind of entering that
type of territory. So yeah, ready to chop it.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Up baby land mind season. I like that, just completely
dumping out on some of the players. Yeah, not loving debo.
So you guys got ranked questions? We can do that.
We're coming off of the rank show that Ericson and
I did with Fitzie a whole bunch more, whether it's trades,
this and that. We've also got tools if you come
in with the inevitable. Hey guys, here's my roster. What
do you think I should do?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think you should sync it up with Fantasy pros
and it can help you aggregate some of the best stuff.
But you know, there might be some players that are
top of mind, and we will get to all of that.
All right, let's get to the questions. Let's see where
our people are at. And first up on the show
today is try It. That's a new name. Try It.
Come on down and what do you got?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Try it?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
You ask you? We got you? What's up?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Dude?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Awesome?

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Okay, I know you said no Thursday night question.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
This is not this is.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
A Oh the fantasy gods are hurting you here. You
we lost your connection there. You were about to be
like I know you said no Thursday, but you were
gonna finagle some version of a Thursday. Don't do it.
Ericson's not in the mood. Ericson said he's ready to
like dump people if they bring up Thursday night football.
So don't even mention the name. But you're also muted,

(03:00):
so we would love Hi. There you go. Yeah, we gotcha.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Well, I just traded for Piersol, and because of a
couple injuries and trades, I'm looking at Pearsol, Bigs and
Pittman for the rest of season. I just was wondering
if you guys would rank those three for me rest
of season and what you guys think about Pearsol moving forward.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh yeah, it's a great question. That had nothing to
do with this. Wee kind of you put Digs in there,
try it, but you totally did it, So Pittman, it's
a great question. Piarsal, Digs, Pittman rest of season. Pearsal
did get into practice this week. I am pessimistic that
he's going to play this week in favor of him
going next, but there's always the possibility. So assuming you're

(03:45):
going to kind of have Pearsall back, Diggs is definitely
kind of the alpha, as you have been calling it.
Pittman kind of feels like the bottom ring of this.
But I'm going to rank this Digs, Pearsaw, Pittman. I
kind of I don't want to say Pearsall at the top,
but I think his injury questions are too great. That's
going to be my ranking, what is yours? Andrew Rickson?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I have it as Diggs, Pittman, Pearsall. Piersall's just hard
to age because he hasn't played since Week four. I
think we still don't know when he's coming back. We
don't know the state of the forty nine ers receiver
room when he does eventually come back.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
So why don't you feel like he's so don't you
feel like he's at least coming back next week if
he's like practicing this week, and you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I think so. Then again, Pittman has also been pretty
steady this year. I know that he has a lot
of touchdowns, but Michael Pittman Junior has been overdue for
touchdowns through his entire career, right, so eventually he was
going to have a double digit touchdown season, which it
seems like is going to be playing out this year. Obviously,
Alec Pierce has taken a larger role. We still like

(04:52):
Josh downs. Tyler Warren's obviously the beast, so a lot
of mouths ifeeding that colts offense. So I do think
this scenario where Ricky Pearsall could overtake Pittman, but I
think it's also coming with a lot more risk, where
Pittman you kind of know what you have, right, He's
a solid receiver. I think Pearsall maybe has a higher ceiling.
I'm not sure if that's you think that's right? Oh yeah, absolutely,

(05:14):
we can emerge as the number is the number, like
the clear cut number one guy. But then you also
layer in, well what about by you comes back? So
Piercell definitely has one more question mark. So I guess
for me it's if you really want to kind of
shoot for the moon, I guess it would be pierce
All over Pittman, and it's probably a deal you could make.
You can probably trade Pittman just to get Pearsall right now,
just based on the body of work so far. But

(05:37):
if you need more of a steady asset, that's Michael
Pittman for you, and not necessarily Pearsall, who has not
been reliable this season.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
All right, Maddie, ships come on down, Maddie, what you've
got for us? It was a good question. Try did
a great job, by the way, what's that, Maddie?

Speaker 6 (05:54):
So so I have some tight end questions here, So
currently rolling out Earth versus Miami, I'm pretty confident about
that this week, but after that it's a bye and
then it's kind of like a crab shoot. So I
feel like after this week, I don't really want to
use them. I picked up Loveland. I also have THEO
and Strange out there. My question is do I just

(06:17):
kind of forget about the Miami matchup this week and
like drop Ertz for any of Fannin, THEO or Strange
and then just kind of roll with them too going forward.
I was also offered McBride for Andertz, and I don't
know if that's something that I should consider. I just
can't really look Paston's juicy schedule rest of the season

(06:41):
after Detroit, so.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Thought, let's do the pickups and well, now let's do
the trade. I'm not doing that trade. I'm not trading
Saquon for trade McBride specifically because of who you one
of the guys you say it's available, Eric's and I
feel like you are going to trade Saquon for McBride. Okay,
so you're shaking your head, yes, so you're doing that
train McBride.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
How many wide receivers are going to see more targets
and McBride over the next.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
How about this, Matt who who would your other running
backs be once you traded Saquon It.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
Is gonna sound ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
So I have McCaffrey, Javante, and then I have Hampton.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Jesus, it seems like he's gonna be fine.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, I think you're gonna be fine. Okay, maybe I
do make that trade. Now that you say that, I
mean McBride's gonna have thirty five targets this week, and that.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Fixes your tight end problem, it does.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
My only hold up with that is that, like I
felt like the drop off between like replacement level tight
end is different than the drop off level of because
I'm basically going from Saquon to like Christian Watson or
like Keishawan Booty. So like the drop off there, I
feel like is kind of like I'm a little bit
worried about that.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's the only thing.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm still a little like, I don't know if I
want to do that. I definitely think you can do
that trade. But here's the reason why I like don't
love doing that trade is you said Fannin out there,
I don't like I'm done with Ertz. If if Daniels
is not around, I'm not with Zach Ertz. We broke up.
So I'm starting, you said somebody, I'm starting Lovelin over him,

(08:10):
but I'm more specifically starting Fannin over him. So like
I would dump Ertz for Fannin right now. If you're
uncomfortable making that move, I am with you. I'm a
little bit uncomfortable because the one thing you get is
you get dominant running backs. Dude, you're gonna have McCaffrey,
Saquan and Javonte Williams, assuming he's the flex. If Hampton
comes back, you've got a glut of riches. I just

(08:33):
I think you can do the McBride trade. I'm gonna
say I'm sticking with Barkley. Ericson's making the move. But Ericson,
if he wanted to stick with Barkley, would you dump
Ertz for Fannin or Lovelin or I guess he has Loveling,
but well.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I should Yeah, it would not hesitate to dump any
of those guys moving away from Art's one, no part.
It's no care. Honestly, ER's can be playing the Bengals
this week and it may not matter. Jaden Daniels he
just doesn't have He doesn't have any upside. He's a
thirty six year old tight end.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Can I ask you something. I was just talking with
Scott Bogman about this. I'm just not here for the
Mariota rank this week. I just don't like, I don't
get it. I understand, like logically, I understand like it's like, oh,
it could be like a shootout and the Lions and
their defense and stuff. No, Mariota Meredith does have one
top twelve finish and it was last week. It was

(09:26):
on the rushing touchdown. He's thirteen on ECR this week.
I can't come to terms with starting Mariota over Sam Donald.
I don't care if it's the ram. Sam Donald finds
ways to get three hundred yards every single freaking week. Goff.
Even Aaron Rodgers was bad, but it's like same token.

(09:46):
He's got a matchup that looks okay jj MC. I
just I don't get the Marcus Mariota thing. And I
guess it's the rushing upside. I'm not doing it, are you?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I mean, I got them right where E is and
hate it. It's it's I get why you hate it.
But if he just scores a rushing touchdown then and
then he then he's gonna finish it okay, right, just
thinking that's why it's so hard to bet against these
rushing quarterbacks sometimes, because they can get it done in
one easy play, especially if let's say they getting blown out.

(10:15):
They don't have It's not like they're gonna take Mariota
out of the game, right, Like he's gonna stay in
the game and pick up rushing yards. And so I
almost feel like you could be proven right process wise.
And then you watch the fourth quarter in Spain and
Mariota puts a bunch of garbage points, and then you
feel you feel icky because I thought the process was right,
fade Mariota. But then you look at the box go

(10:35):
You're like, this isn't fair, But this is how fantasy works.
So I agree though that I guess I wouldn't push
back with Rogers over Mariota. Rogers through a four touchdown
if it's in the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Right, what about McCarthy the Bears.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm mcarthy, I'm mcarthy over Mariota this, But Donald, I'm
there with you with that one. Not Donald, not against
the Rams, not against that pass rush.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
You can't do it quick is JSN all day long.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Baby just doesn't run, So.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, I guess that's true. I don't know, it's just
that's my question that was but I.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Think it's a I think it's an interesting Mariotto is
also not like this highly coveted fantasy quarterback, so I
think if you are going to take a stand, he's
probably a good player to take a stand again. So
I will tip my hat to you when you finished
top ten and quarterback.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Ranking down with Mary Ooh, Do I have my under
for the week I've been doing on the Betting Pro Show?
I have my weekly under one under, and I think,
I mean, I'm setting myself up one hundred percent for
failure now, but I think I'm three or four straight
weeks on at least my under bet hitting. So I
will see if there's something with Mariotta that I like
for the down. Red Beard or read to be my

(11:45):
beard's getting very white gray Beard here, but red Beard's
in the house. What's up?

Speaker 4 (11:50):
What's going on?

Speaker 7 (11:51):
Y'all?

Speaker 8 (11:51):
What up?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
What up? What do you got?

Speaker 7 (11:54):
So?

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Uh? I got?

Speaker 9 (11:58):
Are we putting R? J hard be one hundred percent
in with JK. Dobbins out this week? Is he a
smash start?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Not a smash because it's the Chiefs. But what are
the what are the other options? Like what's the between?

Speaker 9 (12:11):
All Right, I need to start for the flex three
of them. We've got Harvey, et and Metcalf, what he
marks Addison or I could even and Brian Thomas Junior
if he ends up playing.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Okay, we got it.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You gotta do it one more time because you're starting three.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Two running.

Speaker 9 (12:33):
No, they're all flex. It can be however is needed.
I've got it. They run this dynasty league. We've got
four flex, so I got starting. Uh, you're starting yeah, Q,
Metcalf RV Metcalf et and Marx Addison and Thomas Junior

(12:54):
if he plays.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Okay, I mean you got a bunch of guys that
are in the same kind of vicinity. I think I'm
starting Marx over Harvey right now, and then it's like Metcalf, okay,
two spots. I think it's Metcalf, Marx or Harvey. I
think that's the decision here. And what do you think Ericson?
You can tell me otherwise if you disagree.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
But Metcalf, Marx Harvey two for two.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Because we're starting your agreeing like Eten is like that's
the top dog here. Yeah, okay, so Etan's our top dog.
So now you got to start DK Metcalf, Harvey, Marx,
and you only get two marx Is, by the way,
twenty three on ECR, Harvey is twenty four. Marx has Tennessee,
Harvey has the Kansas City Chiefs, and Metcalf is going

(13:36):
up against the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah. This is interesting because I didn't think I would
want Marx ahead of Harvey, but I do have them
brank back to back. I have Harvey one spot ahead.
But as I'm thinking about this in real time, yeah, man,
Marx has already gotten the eighty percent snapshare work and
it's always entirely pop. We talked about this on the
Rank show, where could see more Nick Chubb if it's

(14:01):
a positive game script, But we've seen the willingness of
the Texans to give what he marks all the work essentially,
whereas Sean Payton can say whatever he wants. He said
this week, Oh, we're gonna give more opportunities, are you Harvey?
Does that mean he gets ten? He gets ten opportunities
instead of seven that he's seen basically every single week.
It's funny, Worm messaged me on slack. It was like,

(14:22):
ask me like a start sick question, and one of
the guys was Harvey, and I was like, worm went
in doubt, like don't believe anything, Sean Payton says, So
I think it's close enough where I'm gonna update my ranks,
and I think it is Mars for me over Harvey
and then Metcalf. I think just has a lot of
upside anytime he faced the Bengals, like that is a

(14:43):
high outcome potential, even if I mean, again, it's possible
to touchdowns go elsewhere. But if Rogers throws four touchdowns,
chances are Metcalf probably has a decent day at the office.
So yeah, unfortunately, this is a spot where I want
to start Harvey this week, but I think those are
other options where I don't think I would be doing that.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, even if it was like you're like, okay, I
don't believe Peyton and stuff, it's also a horrifically bad
matchup against the Chiefs, Like that's the other thing on
top of it that makes it not great. So maybe
he can be involved in the passing game. The thing
that Marx has is he's got the snaps. He's got
a bad team, of course, but he's also heavily going
to be involved in the receiving game, and I'm going
to go Marks and Metcalf as well over Harvey. So

(15:24):
that would say he's not a smash start.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
And Marx is already. I guess for me, it's like
Marx has passed the test already. He's already gotten the snaps,
He's already faced the Titans and already played well against them.
So Harvey is so much more of a projection where
we're like hoping that he seeses this bigger role and
he's able to overcome the Chiefs. More hopium with Harvey
than Marx, where it's like, dude, as long as they
just don't like give Nick Chubb like twenty carries, we

(15:47):
should be we should be locking in top twenty four productions.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
So yeah, Marx, you guys can singularly instantly to my
playbook and you can get customized advice on how to
manage your team throughout the season. You guys are asking
us questions, well, you can get the tools to tell

Sincre league can dominate every week of the season with
my playbook at fantasypros dot com slash my playbook or
on the Fantasy pros app I devo, I Devo's in
the house. What's up? What you got?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I new? Oh?

Speaker 11 (16:51):
There, I almost had that mistake. There two questions one
week eleven, one kind of future Week eleven? I got
Pierce and all I'm buy? So I need a flex?
Do I play Schultz in my flex at assuming he plays?
Or do I pick up my options? Are Tyler Lockett,
Michael Wilson?

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Really?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
So this is Schultz in the flex or Lockett or
Michael Wilson. Yeah, okay, I actually kind of like Michael
Wilson this week. Bogs likes Tyler Lockett. Michael Wilson's gonna
be the number one receiver for Brissette against the San
Francisco forty nine ers. You have a really bad secondary.
Schultz is going to get a gajillion targets if he's
out there. I don't want to go with Michael Wilson

(17:33):
on this one. I don't know if I love starting
tight ends. I will say though, Davis Mills loves Schultz,
and there's touchdown equity. Him being banged up a little
bit worries me. But Michael Wilson's going to get peppered
with targets. I have no problem going with Schultz, though,
But what do you think.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Erickson, do you think has the highest ceiling? Would be
Wilson against the forty nine ers if he really can
take on the wide receiver one, because I know the
point also are bad against slot receivers. So I know
that's kind of like Greg. That's Greg Dorsch's kind of no.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Pass rush, no pass rush whatsoever for Brissett. No linefit defense, Like,
that's a good way you put it, because the upside
is Michael Wilson becomes a true number one and it's
like six for ninety in a score. Schultz is your
floor because he's gonna get if he's out there, he's
getting eight targets. It might only be, you know, six
catches for forty five yards. There is some touchdown equity,

(18:26):
so it's a little bit of a risk, but I
like the risk of Michael Wilson on this one.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Look at us, Look at these agreeen guys. Here. Winner
is up here with a Michael Pennox emoji. Two. What's up, dude?

Speaker 12 (18:43):
What's up?

Speaker 10 (18:43):
Man?

Speaker 12 (18:45):
I got two flex spots right, and I have Ferguson,
Bowers and megaf and my tight end one is McBride.
So I'm trying to see if I start Bowers and

(19:05):
Ferguson or do I slip in metcalv instead of Ferguson.
But metcalf has just been it's been rough, dude.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
You guys start tight ends and you have all of
your team's got to hate you. By the way, his
emoji was just I was just mesmerized, But I was
a velociraptor that just kept like coming at us that
whole time. But dude, he's got all the tight ends.
He's got three of the top like six tight ends
on his team.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
You gotta make a trade, man, That's not that's gonna
just be a pain, especially because you already haven't Bride.
You already have the best one.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
But you got trade Bowers.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah, trade any of them.

Speaker 7 (19:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I don't hate that all right. But beside the trade,
I think we can kind of agree in that you're
going to start all the tight ends or metcalf over.
I think I'm gonna go metcalf over Ferguson in that instance.
But it's not far off.

Speaker 8 (19:54):
Off.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
But it's the Bengals, man, Like, you gotta start everyone
against the Bengals, and someone's gonna score thirty points. Yeah,
and if it's what you know, thirty three chances metcalf
So you gotta take that. You gotta take that type
of upside shot.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
What a combination his emoji was too. It was Michael
Pennox and then a lot or. I don't even know
if that's a veloci raptor. It's actually the raptor with
the like gills that comes out and I think it
spits at you. I don't remember what that one is called,
but raptors and pennocks and winners.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
That was.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
That was a vibe, dude. All right, TCB, what's up?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Hey?

Speaker 8 (20:31):
I received an offer of t Higgins for Woody Marks.
Seems like I should obviously accept it. I am playing
this guy this week and he is pretty desperate at
RB two other than that, So is there any reason
I shouldn't just auto accept this deal?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Okay, let's do a little backwork real quick. What are
your running backs?

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (20:57):
The other running backs I have on my roster our Bucky, Trevion, Ampton,
By dal and Mononga in particular. I'd start Henderson and the.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Doll Yeah, because everybody else is hurt. All right, then
what are your receivers?

Speaker 8 (21:16):
Drake London, Ted, Brian Thomas Junior.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Take Higgins?

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Okay but okay, yes, okay, But the last thing. What
are his running backs?

Speaker 8 (21:27):
His running backs are James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Shad White,
Devin Singles, Harry.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Okay, well, I thought you. I thought there was like
a poison pill type of thing where like he was
he were going to say one good player, and then
it was absolute trash, and then you could kind of
screw him over with like having to start. You know,
I don't know Mario dear Marcotto or something like that.
He actually has decent options. Sounds like you need the

(21:54):
wide receiver pretty desperately. So I'm in agreement. I'm gonna
just say yes, I just thought we might be able
to fineg this and be like, ah, screw you, buddy.
You can't have what he marks. You're gonna have nobody
to start, but he's got dudes to start. So better
your team. Yeah, better your team, dude, No problem. All right,
Courty Coty's in the house. Well soup, I'm mute.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
Hey, guys, how's it going good?

Speaker 13 (22:16):
Dude?

Speaker 7 (22:17):
Good. So I feel like a trade merchant right now.

Speaker 14 (22:22):
I've got three trades and they all depend on one
going through. I have a pretty good receiver corps, and
I have I'm hurt at RB two. So at the
end of this I'm looking to get either Rice or
London and turn them into a javante for And so
my question is, who do you have higher Rice or

(22:44):
London rest of season?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Wait a minute, You're gonna take Rice in London and
then trade them for Javonte Williams.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
So it's Rice or London.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's not it's yeah, yeah, no, I understand that. But
you're gonna take one of those wide receivers and then
trade that wide receiver to get Javonte william.

Speaker 14 (23:00):
It's gonna be Javonte Sutton, Robinson and Gadston.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Who's Robinson?

Speaker 7 (23:07):
Wondale Robinson?

Speaker 1 (23:09):
So okay, so you're gonna you're gonna trade this because
those those two receivers are the best players in the trade.
So you're gonna then take like an elite player and
then you're gonna do a volume trade to get like
Wandale and stuff. So so is your main question which
of the two receivers we want?

Speaker 7 (23:27):
Yeah, like, who would you guys rather have for the
rest of the season? Rice or London?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Right?

Speaker 7 (23:32):
Because Rice?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, because but you're gonna trade away.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
One of them, one of them. That's I'm trying to
figure out who I want.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh, oh, trade London.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I thought you were like trading for
one of those guys and then you were going to
immediately trade them for the volume You will have one
of those guys and then you're trading there, gotcha.

Speaker 14 (23:52):
Yeah, my my receiver corp is going to be a Monroe,
Rice or London, and then whoever I end up keeping
the other's going to go away for Javonte and that
volume deal, what was it?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Give me one more time? The guys you were you
were gonna get Davante.

Speaker 7 (24:07):
I Vonte Williams, Courtland Sutton, Wandelle Robinson and Ronde Gadston.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Are you hurting a tight end and running back?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (24:16):
I had Tucker, he unfortunately went out and so I
picked up Lovelin and that's all I got.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Okay. Yeah, I'm just never the biggest fan of those
like great elite player for volume type of stuff. Javante
is a really great getting there. What do you think
about all that ericson? You said you're trading London for this,
But do you like the idea of that trade and
getting those pieces.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
If you need depth? Yeah, I think this is always
roster dependent, whether hey, I need more guys because I
can't score enough points because all my depth is terrible.
Usually in the vacuum, we always want the best players.
I think that kind of goes without saying what in
this particular instance, It's not like you're getting a back
of balls back, sure useful player.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Jadson's the top five is tight end, Chavante's the top
twelve to fourteen running back, and then he gets wander on.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, those guys are They're not like auto starts, but
usually you're starting them every week, unless oh it's a
really bad matchup, I got to make a swap. Usually
you're starting Sutton, a Wandelle most of the time. So
I think that it's fair. And yeah, I would I
have Rice one spot ahead of London. I like both
guys obviously, but rather have Homes number one.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm glad you said that because it seemed like how
you said it, you were like Rice like like that
London wasn't in there, and I'm like, I don't know, man, Like,
as long as Rice is healthy out there, he's balling
out right now. I'm a London. London seems like he's
balling out there right now. So like, I think there's
an argument that London's the top dog even over Rice.
But the offense is better with the Chiefs, of course.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, that's just that's where i'd rather be. I know
that I'm more likely to get burned if I lose Rice,
probably in Mahomes and get a guy can throw four
touchdowns through in the yards any even weak. Michael Penix
not so much.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Okay, JJ Premium member Fantasy Pros discords up.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Hey guys, what's up?

Speaker 2 (26:09):
What up?

Speaker 14 (26:09):
Dude?

Speaker 13 (26:11):
So kind of a similar question to the Michael Pennox
Dinosaur guy. I have a roster where I've got Broth,
Bowers and Ferguson, and so I was wondering if it's
worth holding on to both of those guys and using
one as a flex consideration, or if I should trade
one of those tight ends away. And then if so,

(26:31):
which one would you want to trade away? Like who
do you think you could get more for Ferguson or Bowers?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, you definitely can get more for Bowers, Like I
think it's not even in the same ballpark you can
get more. But like, do you want to do that? Ericson,
Like you were adamant because it was McBride, Bowers and Ferguson.
This is like a little bit different. If you trade Bowers,
you're leaving the elite tight end market. You're still a
great one, but you're leaving the elite tight end market.

(26:57):
If you keep Ferguson in trade Bowers or I guess
if you do the inverse, Ferguson's just not gonna come
close to the return that Bowers is going to have.
And there's maybe an element of, like, what's the point
of trading, because, like I think a Ferguson trade is
going to look like crappy, like you have to buy
like a monong guy, like you hope he's going to
bounce back or something like that. So what's your take

(27:20):
on this?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I think I would probably trade Bowers in this situation
because you're going to get more for him. And although
I agree that Bowers is a tier above Ferguson on
a week to week basis when Dak Prescott is your quarterback,
we've seen Ferguson put up elite weeks, so it's not
the consistency level that is with Bowers. But you could
argue that with Gino Smith consistent, he's not even there

(27:43):
with Bowers. We have two games last with Bowers is
one with three touchdowns where he's an absente monster, and
then one with one catch for thirty one yards. So
I think that I would rather kind of take the
roller coaster with Ferguson because I've just seen the ceilings
with Dak and that could be really helpful the fantasy
postseason where you can still dug out with Bowers because
he's attached to the Raiders and Geno Smith and they're

(28:05):
banged up offensive line. And going back to what you
get more for, you're gonna get a good asset back
for Brock Bowers, where to your point, you're not gonna
get really much for anything for Jake Ferguson because it
is a little bit more of a crowded receiver room
in Dallas. So that's what I would do, and I
would just go to you'll get the most for Bowers
if you find the weakest tight end manager. That's how

(28:25):
you do it. You don't look for a player. We
talked about this on the Trade Show with Worm it
exactly with Bucky Irving, and it's no or with Rashad White.
It's no, you're not trading Rashad White for a certain
running back or wide receiver. You're trading Rashad White to
the Bucky Irving manager because that's where you're gonna get
the most for him. And in this case, you trade
Brock Bowers to the team that has the worst tight end.

(28:46):
So whoever lost Tucker craft. Those are the types of trades,
in the types of approaches you should do. That's so,
that's what I would recommend.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Would you take George Pickens for Bowers?

Speaker 2 (28:58):
See you did double down in the Dallas guy is
I think that's probably the right ballpark. Probably have to
think about more Nico Collins. I don't want Nico.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
You want George Piggins over Nico. Jalen Waddle.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Waddle would be the dinging ding right answer.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, and then like egg Buca would obviously be a guest.
So Wattle my what about Lad?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, so swim in the Lad Wattle waters for for
Bowers if you're doing that. So they all we worked
it through.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Great, great, how fun fact about Lad? You know what
his real name is? Your name is not Lad? No,
your name is Andrew.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Is his real last name not maconkie? Is it Mica?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
His real last name is McConkie. His middle name is Lad,
but apparently him and his like siblings, they only go
by their middle names. Weird. That's it.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
There's a baseball player out here in the Arizona Fali
and his name is Parks. And I was like, is
that short for park? My son's name? Is Parker. I'm like,
is that short for Parker. He's like, it's my middle
name and I was like, oh, it's just the name thing.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Is so weird. Kids call me by my middle name. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Well, there's also I got this. There's this baseball player
named Bubba Chandler and someone to text me. They're like,
do you know Bubba's real name? And I'm like, the
only Bubba I know is my buddy Casey Bubba and
his real name is Brian And I'm like, is it Brian?
And he's like, you'll never guess it's Roy. And I'm like,
how do you go from Roy to Bubba? Like those nicknames,
those middle nicknames, they really throw you off there, But
you know what you want to know? A fun fact,

(30:27):
Scott Bogman goes by his middle name. His real first
name is not Scott, So there you go. Even us
old these are out there.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
You're not gonna tell me though, I'm not I'll.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Tell you off air, but I'll tell you off air.
People got a guest, but yeah, behind the scenes here,
but it's not who did you just say? What was
Ladd's Andrew? It's not Andrew though? How did he get
to Ladd. When's his middle name? Ladd Andrew Ladd mconkey.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yes, this is a full official name.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Kind of thought Lad would have been short for something Lattison, Wow,
something like that. Maybe it's Jorges the lefty us up?
What's up for hay?

Speaker 15 (31:06):
Hey, guys, So since daling in you guys would helped
me be eight and one in the last three weeks.
Yolid advice, So kind of going from desperation to playoff line.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
So I'm gonna paste on my lineup quick. This is
the league.

Speaker 16 (31:20):
I'm five and five in and it's like a seven
way tie for second. Okay, So what I'm trying to
figure out is good news with Bucky potentially giving back,
I'm not expecting him to be back this week, So
stuck with Canine in Sharps as RB two options. I
don't love either, give them who they're up against this week,
So trying to figure out if it makes sense to

(31:43):
look elsewhere. So I have some options for you. There's
Spears available, Tucker and single singletary. Would you pick up
any one of those three versus run Canine or Sharps
as your RB two.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Nope, I don't like any of them. Singletary is just
speculative with where the offense is gonna go. You gotta
throw K nine out there, that's mine. I mean, Sharp's
got some touchdown equity, but I'm throwing ken Walker out there.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Uly, you agree, Yeah, I think that this is gonna
be probably a different type of the last two games
you've seen from the Seahawks have been two blowouts, so
against the Rams, you're expecting more of a back and
forth type of contest. Where Look, I think ken Walker
still the best running back on that team. I know
that the fantasy points haven't really followed that, and I

(32:29):
think sharbon A is good at certain things in his
own right. But if they're in a trailing game script,
I feel like they're gonna need the most explosive players
on the field, and I think that is ken Walker.
So he can always rip off a big play, and
they might need him a little bit more and they
won't be able to just kind of bag Zach Sharbonay
with some of these red zone opportunities. So I definitely
would kay with Walker.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Only slight one Jorge I might look into, and this
has to happen. I'm still not sure if I love it,
but if Bam Knight doesn't play. I kind of don't
hate de Marcato. If he's alone in that backfield against
the forty nine ers, that might so if he's floating
out there, that might be what I look at.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Do you have a middle name?

Speaker 6 (33:09):
Up?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Do you have a middle name yet?

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Okay, well I asked that because I don't. I've ever
told this story before. My My dad passed away before
I was born, very sad, two months before I was born,
so like I didn't, you know, I didn't obviously know
my dad and stuff, but I remember looking at I
think it was birth certificate, one of certificates. Not trying
to be all down or here, but there's a joke

(33:31):
to this. And I'm looking and because my middle name
is his first name, and I'm looking to like, you know,
see the stuff, and I look and I see his
middle name. It says n m n. So for about
ten years I thought his middle name was nim Nan
nim Nin. I come to find out Andrew Erickson, that

(33:55):
means no middle name. And I thought, I was, like,
I wonder if the family side was nimnin. Where did
nimnin come from? Inimen is not a middle name, and
poor ten year old did not know this, So I
went a long time being like that is such a
fascinating middle name. It's just no middle name. So there's

(34:15):
some people that have no middle names out there. I
don't know anyone that doesn't except for Nim's.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Nimennny. It's such a like a child like a child mistake,
like such an honest like mistake, like nobody directed you
in any other direction until like nope, saying it and
then people's like, is there something wrong?

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, well, like it wasn't like I was like asking
the question. I looked, I'm like, that's so interesting them
then and then I just kind of kept it to
myself and for a long time I just kind of
rolled with that, and then you know, then you find it.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like if no one's going to tell
you otherwise, like how are you supposed to know it?
Like what is right and what's wrong? When it comes
to that, you just you read it. You thought, oh
that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, and I never I've never heard anybody else that
has had that specific story. So that is a very
Welsh specific story for Nimnen.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yes, I mean you're not the only one, if admit it, though, I'll.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Have no problem. Yeah, I would love to know if
someone ever else has ever had that in thought, Nimenen,
please let me know so I don't feel like the
singular idiot of the world. Otherwise I will just be
on a world of my own. Sorry, or hey, I
booted you off. You had another question?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
No, you're good.

Speaker 16 (35:20):
So the other one is, I know Howden Autumn was
pretty solid for me last week, but this week maybe
not as much. Trying to figure out if I should
stream Fanom in Djoku, Musgrave or fr Mouth compared to Autumn.
If you're to pick one of those.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Guys, was that your last one before I butt you?
I have one more? Okay, I'm going to the quick
trade one Auton for sure.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
To me, too much volume is saying too much volume.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Phanom would be the one I'd be interested in, But yeah,
Autumn's going to get too much volume there, especially if
Godwin and Bucky are still out, like we're still kind
of wheels up with Auden for sure? What was your
last one?

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Got it?

Speaker 7 (35:54):
So last one?

Speaker 16 (35:55):
I've kind of pulled together a dream team right now
and I'm trying to consolidate for the playoffs, so I
than backup gent Javante, Dowdle and then sharps wide receiver Jefferson, London,
Rice qj and Olave. I'm trying to figure out where
to consolidate because I'm going to the playoffs. I have
an option to pick up Chase. They're asking what it
can offer. I'm thinking with Jefferson and Amica, doubt'll be

(36:19):
too much. Or do you think maybe make a chanty
in a Lave be worth it.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
For I like a gent and a Lave. Rico and
Jefferson is way too much. You're borderlining like lateral movement
with Jefferson to Chase. I know Chase gets like a
slight bump, but to give up like a top ten
running back, that's too much. Gentin Olave is a pretty
slow start there. And see where they go with it,
because if you give up Jefferson, you shouldn't give up
a whole lot more. And really, frankly, I think the

(36:45):
point of that would be to try to pair Jefferson
and Chase together.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah, get the LC connection. Yeah, Okay, game morale matters, right,
That's why you got to add guys under your injury reserve.
That is like vibes, I mean, Tucker if I make
to my Pantasy Championships, I'm putting Tucker Craft on IR
like he's coming with me.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I feel like our pros trip is to New Orleans.
We should all have just Chase and Jefferson jerseys. That's
what they should get us. What would you pick, Jeffer
halted Jefferson. I'm a Jefferson guy, so let's go. I
can't like gritty or anything like that. We're not going
to do that. Nimnan niymnan No, no gritties for me.

(37:24):
Out of bounce. On Mondays two pm Eastern, it's Bogman,

man lessness, what's up?

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Hey, guys?

Speaker 7 (38:07):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Perfect.

Speaker 17 (38:11):
So I got a trade offer that I'm kind of
back and forth on. I'm in a ten team PPR
league and I got offered Saquon Barkley, Michael Pittman Junior,
and Tyler Warren for CMC and George Kittle. I mean,
I prefer Warren, but the tight end thing feels pretty much,
I mean, even enough. The reason I'm considering it because

(38:32):
it feels weird to give up CMC. But I lost
Garrett Wilson and Marvis Harrison Junior recently, so my wide
receivers are pretty weak. I'm currently starting Nico and I
would have to put in Xavier Worthy this week. We've
got two running backs, two wide receivers too, flex so
I can flex some rbs and I've got good depth there.
I guess I'm kind of tempted to replace CMC with

(38:56):
Saquon if I can upgrade Worthy to Michael Pittman. But
at the same time, I'm eight and two I'm going
to make the playoffs. I kind of want to hang
on to CMC.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
What do you think, Erickson, I don't hate the idea
of the trade. I just don't like these players necessarily.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
I know you're going to hate the players.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, like this isn't look I I think that CMC
is not untouchable. I think that you can trade him,
but I don't want Barkley as like no running back.
Then I'm then trading CMC four and then you're.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Getting like Warren and he's on a bye this week, and.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah, and then yeah, I just I think that you
should put him on the block and see if there's
another receiver you can get instead. But I don't like
I don't like this deal.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
So no for me, salts, salts, backgrounds, insult in a
couple of weeks with some guys.

Speaker 10 (39:41):
I know.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
I put this on my work calendar now, so no
one will schedule meeting.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, don't worry about it though.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
We're seven and eight and two or something like that.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
So let me let me take your temp on Ricky
piersol or we've given him ramp up time, or we're
bringing him back. I'm a the lineup in but I've
got this wide receiver spot and it's gonna like it's
Parker Washington, Christian Watson or Ricky so.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
A little stuck.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
I personally don't like if Ricky's active this week. I
have a lot of hesitation, But at the same time,
the Niners seem very hell bent on like we're not
gonna play guys until they're a hundred percent healthy. Personally,
I'm probably not putting Pearasol out there if he is active,
and I think I would go with Parker Washington with
some of the role he had last week, but after that,

(40:32):
I feel good about Pearsall. What do you think about that, Ericson, I.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Don't disagree with what you had to say. I think
that Parker Washington has shown a pretty high floor ceiling combination.
He's been a target machine the last couple of weeks.
We STI don't know if Brian Thomas Junior is playing,
so although I don't think it's the worst thing in
the world to like if you have to start Piersall
this week if he's playing, but I'm just like kind
of looking back at last year with Pearsall when he

(40:57):
came back from his injuries. He had so his first game,
he played three for twenty one, five targets, no touchdowns,
and then you missed a bunch of time, came back
again he had one catch for five yards. So I
think it's probably more realistic that he is gonna have
some type of ramp up rather than be thrown to
the Wolves and basically do what he was doing at
start of the year when he went over one hundred
yards in half of his games.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
I think this is a heavy on the ground game too.
By the way, I think this is gonna be heavy McCaffrey,
Brian Robinson play action with Kittle like so even if
he's active, it's low snap counts.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
So but but for an example, though, I would play
would you play Pierce all over Tyre Lockett?

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Uh? Probably at that point like here that okay, here's
here's some post thirty guys on ECR that I like,
and I would definitely do over peer saw Tes Johnson.
That's like a no doubter. I think I would roll
Ja Kobe Myers. I think I would roll Darius Slayton
for the deep ball in Jamis Winston.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Oh he's he's injured too, Yeah, yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
And then I think Michael Wilson, like, Michael Wilson is one,
is the number one against the forty nine D side,
rather him than even an active Ricky Pearsall. But if
the word came out and they were just like, yo,
tell everybody you know Ricky Pearsall's back, Like, I'll listen
a little bit. But Michael Wilson would be that does
that help?

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Salt, Yeah, that helps?

Speaker 18 (42:18):
And then in in that same league at that flex
Sharps just has such a bad matchup. Would you guys
look to Tucker Hunter or Watson since Dobbs is out
and he's playing the Giants.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
Or stick with the goal line prayers?

Speaker 1 (42:33):
What do you think, Erickson? I like hunting that it
was Hunt? Yeah, who is it? I heard Hun?

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Tucker, Watson or Serman?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Oh the wide receivers? Okay, I was like, is there
running back? Oh? Sew is it Sean Tucker?

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Kream Hunts at the top of that list from me.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
That's why would Cream uts like his his touchdown His
touchdown odds are probably like minus two hundred because he
always scored.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, well, you want to talk about touchdown equity, touch
on equity, He's the top of the list over shar
that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I I don't know how many rushing yards it is
going to get, probably not north of like forty, but
he's going to score probably I'll be two scores.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
All right, Salt, thank you for putting us in your
work schedule. We expect you next week. All right, appreciate
it by Salt. All right, lightning round. We got about
ten ish minutes. We want to get to as many questions,
so let's attempt some lightning rounds if we can. My friends,
roning Premium member Discord sup running.

Speaker 4 (43:29):
Hey, gentlemen are doing good, dude. So I got Tracy
and my half PPR league got my flex.

Speaker 19 (43:35):
But would you start them over as Sean Tucker or
a toward Mason if Aaron was out.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Well, Aaron's going. He was limited last week too, so
Mason's not really an option.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Yeah, I think it's Tracy with a bullet right.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Yeah, he snaps, he's got He's got jamis the tie
that lifts all boats, James, So.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
And he does w's can I do that? I could
do that? Look at that? Rocked it? Chinzer? What's up?

Speaker 10 (44:03):
You know?

Speaker 20 (44:03):
You miss a face off question? Have we covered face
off yet?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
You know?

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I almost said it earlier in the show, to be
honest with you, but then I was like, I'm going
to just let the audience dictate that. But I'm pretty
sure we're still a big fat no on face Off.
Ericson confirmed confirmed.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Any updates, smile you could tell.

Speaker 8 (44:19):
I know.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
It's like he just doesn't care too He just he
cares about so many things with you guys, like he cares.
He might care more than anybody. He wants quality of content,
He doesn't want to take days off. He wants to
be here for you guys like Ericson cares more than
anybody except about face off. Does not care about face off.
But we'll let him decide. What do you got, Gencer?

Speaker 20 (44:39):
I bet I know what Erickson's going to say because
I listened to the Biolo Cell High Wide Receiver episode.
But Ted McMillan, I probably need a wide receiver. Anybody
else I should target besides j Moo?

Speaker 1 (44:54):
What do you think, Erickson? You got any other names?
What did Tedroh have to do with this because he
has tetro or did I lose that you're suggesting Jamo
of course, but yeah, like Ricky Piersoll, maybe, oh you
have tet Yeah, Ricky Pearsall the.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
By low wide receiver that came to mind is Justin Jefferson.
People are losing their minds about Jefferson last week because
of the body language is bad. McCarthy was overthrowing him.
But don't get it mixed up. We saw McCarthy fuel
a wide receiver to overall finish in that game. Just
happen to be Jalen Naylor and not Justin Jefferson, so

(45:35):
he can fuel fantasy success like we've seen it in
most of his games. Jefferson has been solid. Jefferson's only
caught touchdowns from McCarthy this season. So the schedule of
the Vikings is really really good, and I think people
are really frustrated, and I get like McCarthy, real life
NFL not great, it has not been good, but fantasy wise,
he's kind of getting there, which is what we care

(45:56):
about more than him just being Olhwa's he the Vikings
franchise quarterback. That's not the business that we just learn
need to be in for right now with this Vikings offense.
So I think Jefferson is an interesting BILO because I
don't think that you're going to have to pay elite
capital to get him when we know he's an elite talent.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Il said on Hey Dk Metcalf, he's had a couple
of bad weeks and yeah, and you're coming up against
the Bengals, and I think Aaron Rodgers learned a big
lesson this week. Don't throw to anybody, but DK Metcalf
after Calvin Oats and just let that stuff just bang
off his hands.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
So Dk, I mean, yeah, Aaron Rodgers is not petty
guy right at you know.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Of the weirdest thing, I know, it's slightly around just
real quick. Have you seen these things where like every
player wants to do the jersey swap and he won't
do it with him, like Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, Jonathan Taylor
asked to do like a jersey swap and he just
like ignored it. What's the deal? He doesn't want to
give anybody his jerseys. Excuse your jersey, dude, blanket in

(46:56):
a Nyahuasca tent, like you got plenty of other blankets.
Just give these guys your jersey.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
He's hanged. He's too busy hanging them all up in
his room of darkness. What does he do? They're all
being hung up in this room that he can never see.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Them, and making a giant tent out of all of
his own jerseys that he won't give to other people.
Uh jmil what's up?

Speaker 8 (47:15):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
So got to be as quick as I can. We
got the team league? Are you trusted in?

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Trayveon today?

Speaker 13 (47:23):
Uber?

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Let's see who else?

Speaker 6 (47:25):
We got the duneesay btj ted because I got I
got two flexes.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Ericson had to cut you off. Erickson's a rule maker.
We said, no Thursday questions whatsoever. But also yes, I
would have, but he had to cut you off. Sorry, brother.
Ericson's a He's a rules with an iron fist, and
he said, any Thursday questions are getting cuts. You must
not have been there for you. But yes, I would
have done that for a survivor, Yes, he would have.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Yes, he would have done that.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
He would have done that. G Sergio, what's up?

Speaker 2 (47:56):
It's okay, dude?

Speaker 1 (47:56):
He said he didn't realize g Sergio going once, going twice?
Dang it sold Rice Puddin in the house. I'm down
by the way. Guillotine four left in the What's up?

Speaker 14 (48:09):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Four left in the Fantasy pros Guillotine League and I'm
one of them ericson I'm one, no big deal.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I know you, Joe Worm and A Long and a lot.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yeah, and exactly, we're all try We're going after Long
because he has Jonathan Taylor on by this one. We're
just trying to take him down as desperately as we can.
What's up? What's up? Puddin?

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Hey, I'm a couple of quick ones here for you,
if that's all right. How are you feeling about digs
rest of the season?

Speaker 7 (48:32):
And then would you play digs over Ted on Sunday?

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Oh it was a third Yeah, you digs as tiny
as he got put? Yes, and like digs for the
rest of the season. That's the main question. We like
digs rest of the season. But that we just said,
we just said no Thursday questions and we literally got
one right after that. Uh and s what's up?

Speaker 13 (48:55):
Yo?

Speaker 19 (48:55):
Thanks guys real quick. So I'm gonna paste over my
my rosteril. You've got a trade offer. It is fourteen men,
very competitive to have PPR league. I'm tied for second
at seven and three, and I'm looking at the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
I have tet and.

Speaker 19 (49:09):
I kind of want to get rid of him. I
got an offer for Garrett Wilson one for one.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Oh, and the injuries. I don't think you can do
it with the IR stuff, right Erickson.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
I have Craft, who I have on my IR.

Speaker 19 (49:21):
It's one keeper and I might keep Craft, but I'm
willing to drop him if you know, I also have
other options.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Nah, brother, I don't. I just I don't think you
can do it with Garrett Wilson's injury stuff right now.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
He re injured his knee. Why would he come back
to a team that's dumpster fire?

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Now, because look, I get t. Mac has been just
like a straight up floor play every single week. But
the Panthers rest of season schedule is pretty good for receivers,
and not even because they're they're facing teams that give
up a lot of points to wide receivers, but they're
facing teams that should score a lot of points against
the Panthers, which forces Carolina to at least have to

(49:59):
abandon the game in some capacity. Again against the Saints,
even though they were losing, the game was close enough
where they were able to could till like establish the run,
and we see rookie receivers breakout in the second half
of the year all the time. It would not surprise
me at of if we see t Mac finish really
really strong with a couple of spike weeks, if we
just get more past attempts out of the Panthers offense.
So yes, there is a scenario where you can trade

(50:20):
t Mac but for Garrett Wilson, who's in.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Now brother dat boy Vic. A couple more here, Yeah,
a quick question.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Uh, I'm in a twelve team half PPR league. I'm
ten to O and I got offered CD LAMB for.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
My egg Buka.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Wondering if it's I don't know, I feeling like it's
a little risky to accept it. What do you'all think?

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Oh, baby, everybody loves Buka right now, I'm with it.
I want CD that just take CD, CDs, DVDs. I
want a CD player back in my car. They don't
come with CD players anymore. It's crazy, and I want
CDs and LAMB for sure. Okay, that was easy. Yeah,
don't feel scared about that. See this is a great vibe,

(51:05):
Dirty Dan. Last couple here, Hey.

Speaker 10 (51:09):
Guys, just quick question. So I'm in the middle of
the field in a ten man half PPR and I
have Jamar Chase on my roster I have, I have
other wide receivers alat of Itvonte Smith BEDJ And I'm
just trying to get your opinion on how i can
boost myself up into top playoff contention with jam Like

(51:31):
trying to get Jamar Chase off my roster to increase
depth a running back. So like I want to because
it's really hard to shipt Jamar Chase right now. And
I just don't know how to value him with other rds.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
I mean, I think you want do you want multiple
running back or one running back?

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Well, I mean, but just getting one more running back
creates the depth. If if he's trading Chase, you know
what I'm saying, Like, yeah, you should. The value is
at the top. You should be asking for one of
the top three running Would you do would you trade
Chase for Hm?

Speaker 4 (52:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (52:04):
I think that's same ball park. H has a he
has his bye week next week though he already had
his bye week. That's like the thing, like that's why
do I feel like people people are getting up, people
are obsessed with Tyler rash Year. It's like, oh, it's
taken over, It's over, Bijon dead, He's bust. I think, yeah,
I think it'll be fine the price of the Panthers
this week, Like, all right, man.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
I think we can get two more here Mook's premium
member Fantasy Bros.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Discords.

Speaker 7 (52:32):
Thanks.

Speaker 21 (52:34):
Yeah, So I got a Dynasty Trader hold for you.
It's a two QB Empire pots. So all this could
be irrelevant, but there's three of us fighting for the
last two playoff spots. Been toying with the idea of
shopping Stafford to one of the top four teams if
I can get a good offer. Which offer do you
like better? Either Stafford Post a pick Post like a

(52:57):
Pittman or somebody for a C. J. Straud to plus
a Hampton or Bucky or I guess Stafford Spears pittmanshak
Heir for a Burden a Tuton and then the potential
of the twenty seventh.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
First and this is you just kind of punting and
like playing for next year.

Speaker 21 (53:15):
Or do I hold and make the playoffs and see
if I can make a run.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
I like the Bucky one. I don't love Stroud necessarily,
but you get rid of like what was it Pittman
Stafford and there was something in there. If I can
get Bucky for future years and maybe a return on
the back half of this year. That's the one that
gets me going.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
I think that's the one I prefer too, although I
think I like the Hampton side more than the Bucky side.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yeah, Hampton fine is fine too, whichever side you want
to do. Give me one of those running backs with Stroud.
He should be back next week too.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
And I think too, like it's your league, right if
you want to win for now, Like that's the decision
you have to make, right, Like we can't, like we're
not in the weeds with it, so it's like we
don't know like how bad you want it. If you
want it this year, then screw next year, like win
the thing like that by play the game.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
But Stroud comes back next week, and Bucky were to
come back next week, you kind of could almost like
walk yourself into like the depth of maybe making a shot.
But it's a great Yeah, it's a great point though,
like you know, you make your final call. But I
like that that one all right. Last one is the
big booty Judy, Uh finish us off here. I mean

(54:21):
you gotta unmute though, don't do us wrong, big Booty.
There we go.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
Let's see, I'm trying to get waddle.

Speaker 13 (54:30):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
The owner has Kenneth Walker, so I'm trying to send
him Charbonnay and Pittman.

Speaker 7 (54:36):
Who's my wide receiver for?

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Is that going to get it done?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Or do I throw in Rashad White? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Yeah, I mean if they that's enough, I wouldn't accept that.
So give him, give a bunch of ponies to get the.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Horse, get him in the stalls and do what you
gotta do. Man, get that, get your horse across the line.
I completely agree. All right, that is going to do it.
