Speaker 1 (00:00):
The trade wins are blowing. Let's talk to the pros.

(00:21):
Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. This is the Fantasy
Football Podcast. It is me, Joey b Joe pie Zappia,
that of course is Kyle Yates and Paul Charching is
gonna join us today, the CEO, the King of the
Guillotine Leagues, and we're gonna talk about the rest of
the season, the trade targets, the byelows, the cell highs,
the week six in the NFL, we're getting to buy
weeks as well, so lots of moving and shaking. This

(00:44):
is when it starts to heat up. This is when
you can smell desperation on certain teams. You can also
take advantage of people who have lost patience. And if
you have a little bit of patience and a good record,
maybe you can make a good move for your football team.
A fun game last night. We're gonna talk about that
before he dive into all the other things. But Paul,
I wanted to welcome you back to the show. I
haven't seen it a couple of weeks, and it's it's

(01:05):
nice to have you back. And thank you again so
much for inviting me into the Guillotine League. I had
two glorious weeks before being gone for it, and I
loved every minute of it, and I can't wait to
do it again. So thanks for having me in there. Man, Well,
I'm sorry You're own only lasted two weeks, and then
we asked you to take over Mike's team, and Mike's

(01:26):
team had basically we were just setting lineups for Mike
for a couple of weeks and he outsurvived people who
were trying. And now you've now you've taken over that one,
and so you're still getting a Guillotine League experience, which
is great. And I think your team's out of the mind,
which I do not appreciate it at all. And uh yeah,
and I think you've got a bunch of fab left
to spend, too, so I do, and I plan on

(01:49):
spending it, let me tell you. And I plan on
winning that league for Tags. And of course there's so
many Tags guys on that team, and I know you
guys were close, and you know, I know it's the
first time we've really got to sit down and talk
on a show since then. So um, you know, it's
certainly been a tough time over here, as you well know,
but I know from you know, you and Tags were
were close and you know, knew each other for a
while in this industry. Yeah, And um, I'm gonna keep

(02:11):
this short. I don't want to. I don't want to
turn this into a full blown eulogy. But what what
I will always remember about Tags was he he came
to an FSGA conference in Dallas and he uh, he
pulled me aside and said, I've been listening to you
for years in Chicago because I do Chicago radio twice
a week and and he said, hearing you and knowing

(02:32):
that there was a pathway to a career in fantasy
football was was an inspiration for me to to get
in and make this happen. And you just it just
just you know, I still get tingled like wow, you know,
you don't you don't know, you know, I'm just talking
to these guys in Chicago and we're just having fun
and you don't realize that you're incidentally inspiring somebody to

(02:53):
go make a career change and frankly do it better
than you do it. So it was. It was a
great It was a great story from him and obviously
will be missed. And I'm just very grateful to have
the interactions that we had. And it's so important I think,
to kind of pay that back to for us who
are in those those chairs now. Like Bob Harris was
that guy for me who I had followed him on
the radio. My first radio gig was serious XM satellite radio.

(03:17):
You know, millions of people right that the first radio
gig I ever did my entire life. But I was
so lucky to follow Mike and Bob, right, Mike Demsey,
Bob Harris to die hards. I don't think it gets
much better than those guys. And that's so great. And
and Kyle, I know you know for you too, who's
gotten into this industry and been able to get to
where you got to so quickly, I'm sure you kind
of feel that a little bit too, Like you want

(03:37):
to help out those people who are who are coming
up and trying to find their path. And I feel
like we kind of it's part of our responsibility in
the seats that we're in to help those people find
their way through this this whacky industry of ours. Yeah,
and you shared that story charge about what tags was
like that are what you were to tags? Excuse me
That's what Tags was to me. You know, Tags was

(03:59):
the person that I admire, that was the inspiration to
be able to push further into my career, and he
became that close mentor for me, you know here and
I talked about this in the game plan that I
wrote this past week, like I don't know if he
ever really truly knew just how much of a mentor
he was to me, But being able to watch him
closely like no one else, right, I got to be
able to see the work ethic firsthand. People got to

(04:20):
see the result of it. I got to see the
work ethic behind the scenes of what he put in,
and it will no one will ever come close to
putting in the work that Tags did. So yeah, I
think you're absolutely right, Joe, that the you know, then,
the messages that we've got from people have signaled that
what we do here, what we talk about is not
just talking about fantasy football. It is an escape. It
is like the stories that people have come forward and share.

(04:42):
The impact that we get to have just by being
able to be an escape and an inspiration for many
is truly overwhelming at times. So I you know, it
is humbling to be able to be in this seat
and I'm excited to talk some football with you guys today.
And on that note, I could hear tags in my
ear where you just get to the football stop. Oh
my god, I've got all these that's to share, all right,
So let's talk about it before we get into it.

(05:03):

writing a unicorn or something like that. I can't get
away with those. I like the simple ones. But i
gotta tell you, we're always looking for like high quality
T shirts, right, especially like we're we're a casual show,
but you want something that looks nice but it washes

up well, and you don't want to spend one hundred
dollars on a T shirt, right That's kind of crazy.

what Into the Am is about. They've got the graphic

sixty or the basic teas like I've got right now,
which is the three for thirty nine ninety five. And

classy route, but that's the nice thing. You can do
it both ways there, So again into the am dot
com slash Fantasy pros to get your ten percent off.
There the Graphic T bundle and the Basic T bundle.
All right, let's bundle some Monday night football together. Oh

(07:29):
this was fun. This is fun because Lamar Jackson four
hundred and forty two yards, four touchdowns, gates. Remember what
I was talking about. Lamar Jackson's a much better passer
than he gets credit for, and he's got an easy,
quick release on the football. We just haven't seen it
at the NFL level because it hasn't been a lot
of guys to throw the football to really in his career. Well,
guess what, I think we saw the coming out party
for the passer at the NFL level that the guy

(07:51):
was in college and they just haven't gotten there yet.
This was This is incredible for It's a very entertaining game,
especially towards that fourth quarter into overtime game. What was
your fantasy takeaway from this contest? Hello, Mark Andrews, Welcome back.
Relatively it has been I mean Mark Andrews has been
incredibly consistent up to this point of the season. Right,

(08:12):
He's been averaging around like sixty to seventy receiving yards,
five receptions. Like, he's just been steady and that's been very,
very valuable for fantasy rosters that have a need at
the tight end position. But he hasn't brought the week
winning upside that we have come to know, especially two
years ago. Yeah, we got it this past week. If
you went up against Mark Andrews, you and or Lamar Jackson,
you most likely lost your week because this was just

(08:34):
a massive, massive performance, even mark He's brown too, I mean,
just massive performance. So Mark Andrews was the main takeaway.
I was like, all right, perfect, we got Andrews back
into that top tier. And Marky's Brown averaging seventeen and
a half half PPR points so far this year, having
a wonderful season. Nine receptions, one twenty five two touchdowns,
And I did the side by side comparison, so I'm
not crazy, Yates. He is definitely heavier than he was

(08:57):
last year, which again he still looks like because that's
how slight the guy was. But when this guy came
into league where he has now charged, I feel like
physically you see a difference, and it's like ten pounds
on a guy as slight as Marky's Brown might not
sound like a lot. But it makes a big difference
when he's fighting for footballs in there with some other
of these guys in the secondary. Yeah, not getting bullied
as much, which which counts. And you know, he's always

(09:18):
had it was always had the ability to separate. And
you know he didn't lose any of that with the
ten pounds. Some guys, you know, just don't carry the
extra weight well, but I think he definitely needed it.
And it's just part for a lot of guys. You
just you're just young and it just takes time to
put up put on some of the weight that you need.
And and uh, I think he's I think that's a
I think that's a valid observation for him. And you

(09:39):
know he looks now he's turned into you know, are
there he's top ten. I mean, I don't know that
there are nine receivers I would trade from Marky's brown.
That's age. There's a conversation. We're gonna get into Hollywood
a little bit more. Maybe he's the light version of
his relative Antonio at this point. I don't know. I
Mean the other thing is he's not getting jammed at
the line as much as he used to, like you know,

(09:59):
like you could physically kind of stop him. Last year,
you don't see that as much, and guys like to
play off him anyway, just because they're terrified of him
running by them. In that first step. Well, let's get
into some of those most traded players, and of course
we have one million teams sink to our my Playbook tool,
and here are the players being traded the most on
that my playbook league sinks and remembered to sink your

(10:19):
league for free and get all the fantastic options that
we give you at my Playbook to help you not
only manage your league in season, but all of the trades,
the waiver wires, everything in between, and also set your
lineups as well every single week. So let's do a
little buy yoursell with some of the top guys being
del Tyler Lockett. This was a guy that last couple
of weeks I was saying, this is your cell high,

(10:41):
this is your cell high. Well, it looks like people
are getting out of the Tyler Lockett business in the
last twenty four hours, and it's probably the right call. Chart.
You know, he had such an incredible start to the year,
but now you throw in the Russell Wilson injury I
guess here's the question, what is the value now for
Tyler Lockett these next six weeks or so without Russell
Wilson and Gino Smith under center. Well, that's the whole problem, right,

(11:02):
is Tyler Lockett makes his money on these beautiful downfield
pin point rainbow throws from Russell Wilson. Jo Smith's not
that guy or even close to that guy. And so
you know, you already took a player who had high
highs and low lows, and now the highs don't seem
nearly as high and the lows seem even lower. And

(11:24):
I you know, at this point, if you actually can
unload him for somebody who's reasonably reasonably safe, I think
I think it's it's game on on selling. I just don't.
I just you hate to sell low on good players.
But there's just so much working against him already here
that I think if you can, if you can still
find some some name value on Tyler Lockett and people

(11:47):
who know the highlights, right, that's always the beauty of
Tyler Lockett is when he does well, he's he splashes
all over the highlights. If you can get people that
make an emotional move with him, great, But I think
he's a tough sell right now. Well, let's see if
I can find a guy here that fits the bill.
This is a trade offer right from my playbook data
at Fantasy pros dot com slash my playbook Tyler Lockett
or Tyler Boyd the Battle of the Tylers. Is Boyd

(12:09):
kind of that safe floor maybe unspectacular guy. He's not
going to have the big splash moments the way Jamar
Chase or maybe even te Higgins will. But maybe you
feel better about the weekly four. Who would you rather
have rest of the season. Well, I'll go first. I'd
rather Boyd because I value I value players that have
consistency and that I know what I can get on
a weekly basis. And I think, especially as you start

(12:31):
to think a little bit more about the playoffs, you
know your playoff run, you're trying to put together three
straight great weeks, and Tyler Lockett's the kind of guy
where he doesn't put together often three straight great weeks.
He torpedoes you at least one, if not two, of
those three weeks, and that's how you get knocked out
of the playoffs. So for me, I would take Tyler
Boyd as I as I start looking a little closer

(12:53):
to November December, Yeates, I'm gonna throw one at you here,
and this is another player that people are incredibly frustrated
with and understand dably so, and may be frustrated enough
that you can, perhaps in the more casual leagues, sell
off Tyler Lockett's big stat volume so far off of
some of those monstrous early games. Could you possibly move
Tyler Lockett for Allen Robinson And would you want to

(13:14):
pull off that trade and take Allen Robinson for Lockett? Oh,
you could definitely move Tyler Lockett for Allen Robinson. Fantasy
managers who have Robinson are just like, get him off
my roster, like like they're very very close to just
straight up dropping this guy because of how disappointing he
has been this season. I would not make that move,
though I still want Tyler Lockett. I think that he is.
I think he's still gonna be reliable enough. You just

(13:36):
have to adjust your expectations where Tyler Lockett with Gino
Smith is not going to be this low end wide
receiver one or you know, like we thought that we
had after the first two weeks of the season, high
end wide receiver two. Or whatever. He's a low end
wide receiver two, high end wide receiver three. I've still
got him in that territory where I think that the
ball has to go somewhere in this offense with Gino Smith.
The defense is still not good, so they're going to

(13:57):
be throwing the ball quite a bit here and d
Metcalf can't soak up every single target. Freddy Swayne penny Hart.
They're not going to soak up targets. So where does
the ball go. It's gotta go to Metcalf, It's got
to go to lock It. Now. He doesn't have the
upside that he did with Russell Wilson, but I still
think that he's going to be fine. So I've got
lock It in a league and I'm not trading him.
I'm not moving him because his value is so low
at this point unless I can get one of those

(14:20):
guys that's in that same range. As far as the
rest of the season, Alan Robinson, Tyler Boyd, they're not
in that same range. Ring they're a little bit for
good on the board. All Right, This might surprise you, Yates,
but the most traded running back over the last forty
eight hours in football is Darryl Henderson. This is one
of your guys, he aids, So I want to kick
the tires here. I want to ask you a number
one why, and are you somebody wants to be trading

(14:40):
four or trading away Henderson. I think the why would
be looking at the usage of Sony Michelle from this
past week. I think that people are looking at the
carry splits there and they're not taking into account that
what Sony Michelle did racking up I think it was
ten out of his twelve touches were on that drive
where Darryl Henderson was on the sideline bree fleep with
that arm injury or elbow injury, whatever he was getting

(15:02):
that looked at so and then they just fed Sony Michelle.
And I think that the entire offseason and into this season,
I've been saying that Daryl Henderson can be fantasy relevant.
He can be a top fifteen running back. Even if
Sony Michelle sees six to eight touches per game. There's
more than a volume in this offense and the red
zone scoring opportunities for Darrell Henderson to continue to be
a top fifteen running back. So if people are panicking

(15:23):
based on what we've seen from Darryl Henderson this year,
and they're selling cheap based on what we saw from
Sony Michelle this past week. Then yeah, I will buy
the discount, I'll buy the dip and I'll jump in
for you. I mean, you know with and the other
part that about Sony Walkman as I call him, is
those aren't going to be quality touches. Those six to
eight carries or touches. You know it's going to it's

(15:45):
going to result in zero splash plays, four yards of
carry and nothing that fundamentally undermines Darryl Henderson's role as
the lead back. Yeah, I mean, I'm with you, guys.
I think I'd rather have Henderson. Let's talk about a
guy right now too. It is certainly playing very well
these last two weeks, but does share a back field
a little bit more than Henderson does. Kareem Hunt or

(16:07):
Darryl Henderson yates which side of this trade would you
rather be on? I would rather have Darryl Henderson. I
feel more comfortable with him as the lead option versus
Kareem Hunt. Who Kareem Hunt has been great, Like, I'm
not trying to take away anything from what he has done.
But I just feel more confident in Darryl Henderson's role
than I do with Kareem Hunt. Charge. How about for
you same question there, Hunt or Henderson? Which side of

(16:28):
this deal? I've got a whole dissertation on Hunt coming
up in a few minutes, so I'm not going to
mow my owl on. We'll come to that in just
a minute. How's that. That's fine? I love a good tease,
you know. I'll leave it to the professional radio host
for you know, years and Harris to do the fantastic
teas now nobody can wait to get to it. All right,
how about Miles Gasking coming off that huge game? You
think you might be able to sell him off and
get Daryl Henderson put charge? Oh god, if you're in

(16:50):
a dream scenario to Gasket into Darryl Henderson. There is
a massive gulf between those two and the fact that
this is even a conversation, it is shocking to me.
Sure it's a trade that actually's happening out there. That's
where the data is. I know, you know, it's such
an emotional game fantasy. You know, if you if you

(17:11):
own Gaskin by all means shop him widely this week
and enjoy whatever you can get out of him. I'm i'm, I'm,
I'm in a full avoid mode. Although I'll say this
just from the eye test, I mean, Miles Gaskin looks okay.
It's not great, but I think he looks okay and
certainly worthy of more consistent usage than this stefic Dolphins offense.

(17:32):
Overgive him. I agree, And I picked this trade specifically
when I saw it because I went, well, this is
a prisoner of the moment for sure, in the last
forty eight hours, right could you find a I mean,
especially because everybody had such low expectations in that game
against Tampa, and god, he caught so many balls, and
all of a sudden You're like, well, maybe this is
Myles Gaskin. Maybe this is turning the page of what

(17:53):
it should be. And You're right, maybe it should be.
It doesn't make it necessarily is I think I already
know Yates his feelings for these spatial expressions on this
One's let's move on to another guy, A J. Brown.
I've got a few shares myself, and this is a
very frustrating situation here. Charge. I'll start with you with A. J. Brown.
This should have been a game where I felt like
this past week this should have been an AJ Brown game.

(18:13):
We should have had him come back here. It was disappointing.
Was at three for thirty eight, if memory serve, or
something to that effect. So right now with A J. Brown,
would you want to be buying or selling him? Right now?
I love buying good players at at a low point.
And you know, part of what happened that we didn't
know about A. J. Brown coming into that game is
that he was going to be on a snap count,
which he was, and you know, we didn't know that.

(18:33):
We just knew that he was taking off the injury report.
So I'm like, game on. You know, it's you know,
it's a It seemed like a smash spot and it was.
It was obviously very disappointing. But here's what we know. A. J.
Brown's really really good when he's healthy, and by maybe
even today, maybe even right now, he should be at
or near one hundred percent health. And I love buying

(18:54):
very good players at low dips. And while it's never
sexy to do that, this feels like a great opportunity.
It does. But we're in week six right now, so
I can understand the frustration of oh God, needing some
wins right now here. Here's a question for you, and
especially with this matchup coming on for Seattle with Pittsburgh
this week, Chase Claypool for a J. Brown. Let's say

(19:15):
you're a team that's got one or two wins. Is
that a move you're making right now, Paul. So part
of the hard part is, Okay, if I need to
win now, and if I've got a J. Brown, I
might need to win now. Here comes Buffalo. Well, that's
not the matchup I want for Davey is White on
a J. Brown is not the matchup I'm looking to
get healthy in. So I think you need to look

(19:37):
beyond that. And after that you get for a J. Brown,
I get Kansas City, which is turned into the most
plus matchup in the league. And then I get at
Indianapolis with that banged up secondary Xavier Rhodes got hurt
last night. This is this is a you know, if
you can survive this week, I'd rather have to AJ
Brown going forward. But if I need, if I need

(19:58):
a win right now, Chase Claypool against Seattle is a
is a fantastic opportunity. So I think it depends a
lot on your level of desperation right now. I picked
out one here because of this, like I said, very
specific matchup and also Juju being out, And now we
always complain about the target share, you know, divide, Yates,
how do you feel about this? Would you take Chase
Claypool for a J. Brown? Is that enough that you're

(20:20):
getting there? If you're a J Brown roster man? Yeah,
Juju going down definitely opens things up. But what version
of Ben are we going to get? You know? And
I know the matchup against Seattle, but that is a
very short term mindset, right We've got to think about
this long term when we're making these trades and redraft
leagues where AJ Brown rest of season or Chase Claypol
It's like, okay, well, Ben Roethlisberger, are we going to
see the arm continue to decline as the season progresses too?

(20:44):
So I just don't know if I want to buy
into that. We're gonna talk about a J. Brown in
a little bit though, So I think that I will
take the I'll take the J. Brown side of that.
All right, Let's talk about Calvin Ridley and AJ Brown
together on a trade. Let's talk about that, Yates, Because
sometimes people like to say, hey, here's my headache for
your head egg, and we just want a different head egg.
Which one? Which one, though, is the cure at the

(21:06):
end of the day, Is it Ridley or is it Brown?
For you? Yates, I think that better days are ahead
for A J. Brown. However, you have to look at
what they have done up to this point of this season,
and Calvin Ridley has definitely not lived up to expectations,
but he has at least provided a very safe floor
for fantasy managers, which A J. Brown has not done.
So I think I would take Calvin Ridley in that situation,

(21:27):
all right, the number four most traded player, And Yates,
I gotta tell you, considering the names on this list
today at running back, you should be very active this
week making trades because the other one's Joe Mixon. So
it was Henderson and Joe Mixon. Guys. I know you're
two guys, and if you don't have them on every roster,
this is your chance, right like you might as we watch,
just get them all now, Joe Mixon because of the injury,
because of what's going on, everybody's starting to go, oh no,
not again. So I'll ask the question here would you

(21:50):
rather be buying or selling Joe Mixon at this point?
By Joe Mixon everywhere. Joe Mixon did not miss any time,
which that was a major major concern, especially after last year.
You know, we had this pop up and that was
the reason. I think why he was traded so much
was just because like people were like, I'm done, I'm
not doing this with Joe Mixon again. He didn't miss
any time. Now, he did split work. He did. He

(22:12):
did have Sma jap Ran involved here, but Samaja Pirian
also landed on the COVID list yesterday, So there is
the potential that he misses this upcoming game. And who
do they play? Oh, they played Detroit. So I think
that Joe Mixon is just gonna conte. As long as
he gets in practices this week in a limited fashion
or whatever the case may be, then he's gonna it's
a smash spot this week up against Detroit. He's a
top five running back. So if you can acquire him

(22:33):
for cheap because people are some for some reason panicking
on him, then yeah, you do that. Before I get
to you, Paul in this one, And I want to
ask Yates Henderson or Mixon he like more rest of season.
In that trade, they are right in the same range
for me, which is one in two. Yes, yes, in
my heart, I will take I'll take the Joe Mixon

(22:54):
side of that. It's pretty close though. All right, Charts,
let's go over to you and talk about Joe Mixon.
Are you somebody that wants to buy or sell Mixon
at this point? Is this the perfect time to get
out for Mixing before another injury happens and we continue
to you know, have this thing happened year after year,
or as he hates is saying, this is an opportunity
to get in there because he didn't miss a game,
and it's a great matchup this week theoretically against Detroit,

(23:15):
Ray matchup next week Baltimore, great net matchup the week
after that Jets. So you know, really, you get a
nice run here for a while. And I I what
I like about Mixing is just the overall offense that
he's playing in as well, has become a very high
functioning offense that's producing a lot of trips into the
red zone for Joe Mixon that he hasn't had throughout
his career. And in the guys who'm going to train

(23:36):
for They've all got question marks. I mean, if we live,
you know, Naji Harris has got you know, we've seen
the highs and lows of Naji Harris. You know, Darryl Henderson,
You're you're picking up the injury risk that comes with
Darrell Henderson. There's no You're not turning Joe Mixon into
Derek Henry. You're you're turning Joe Mixon into guys that
have sizeable question marks and many cases bigger ones than
Joe Mixon. So I agree with Yates. I'm on the

(23:58):
mixing side of both of those Deals's talk about a
guy who had a really good game on Sunday, Naji
Harris or Joe Mixon. Charge, which side of this deal
do you want to be on? For this? Jomas silence
says EF. I always know when I find a good one,
that's when the stammering starts. Mixon or Harris is your question? Yeah,

(24:20):
naj or Joe Mixon rest of season? What side of
this trade would you rather be on? Let's call it
half PPR. So no one's happened. I want I want
to be on the mixing side for sure. For the
reasons we just talked about it. I'm I'm steadfastly on
mixing for this. All right, Well, let's get after it,
and let's talk about some buy low running backs that
you certainly you can't get enough running backs right now.
We got to find some, especially now we're losing some,

(24:40):
not even because of injury, just because a bye week.
So it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.
So let's talk about these guys. Charge. I'll start with you,
Oh go some of your bye low running backs, and
you got your eye on this week. Let me give
you two that I'm really excited about. Number One, Elijah
Mitchell got nearly all the work last week, re established
himself with a bullet at the time of the depth

(25:00):
chart of a run heavy offense with an uncertain quarterback situation.
We've got favorable matchups in the schedule coming up, with
games with Indianapolis, Arizona, Jacksonville, Minnesota approaching over the next
five six weeks, and Mitchell's eye test it's not even close.
There's a reason. There's a reason that they like him

(25:21):
so much more than Sermon. He's better than Tray Sermon
at this stage right now, I think that kid runs
with pop and runs hard. I like what I've seen
passes the eye test. Elijah Mitchell is my first bylow
running back. What do you guys think, Well, Bogman loves
Elijah Mitchell. That's been the guy he's been talking about,
and we had Bogs on the show yesterday. What are
your thoughts on that San Francisco backfield at this point, Gates,
do you think that Mitchell is the buyelow because it

(25:42):
seems like he's the guy that they want, and now
that they're on a buy, it's a perfect opportunity maybe
to pluck him away. Yeah. I think this is a
really smart call because you look at the and this
is what a lot of fantasy managers will do is
they just look at the overall fantasy points. They look
at the overall workload that shows up on their team.
You know, it just says like nine rush attempts and
they go, oh, man, I don't want this guy. He
only got nine rush attempts. But then when you zoom

(26:03):
out and you take into the greater context and you
see that Trey Sermont what only one touch last week?
Like at that point, it's it's pretty clear that Elijah
Mitchell is the guy in this backfield, so I think
that better days are ahead. And it's also a really
smart move because they're currently on a bye week. So
if you can scoop up Elijah Mitchell for next to
nothing and you can send off a running back who
is at least active this week for a fantasy manager

(26:25):
that needs a running back, then you can get him
even cheaper than what you would if he had, you know,
if he if he was playing this week. So yeah,
I think it's a really smart call. Yeah, and Mitchell
has a lot more rest of season appeal than some
of the guys we've been picking up the last few weeks,
like the Damian Williams who might turn into a pumpkin,
maybe Alex Collins, like a couple of guys like that,
where you know, even Darryl william who is going to

(26:46):
get plucked off waiver wires this week. If you if
you have a guy that you know is you know,
not long for the starting job, but you think Elijah
Mitchell is going to be that guy, there's a perfect
opportunity to make that kind of move really really trick.
I want to chime into just say, like it's don't
go crazy with spending on Elijah Mitchell though, because you
do have Jeff Wilson coming back into the fold here. Dude, Well,

(27:08):
you know, I don't think I saw this, like, yes,
was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday. I mean
I've been late yesterday. Shanahan put the timetable as late November,
and so he and I was like, whoa. I mean,
I thought I thought he was looming. But it turns
out this it might not be a Halloween. This might
be a Thanksgiving read on Wilson. That's why I have
Paul in the show. He's got his nose to the grindstone.

(27:29):
He nothing gets by you. That's why I love it.
Who's your other guy here? Because you mentioned you had
to Javonte Williams just because the last two games we've
had special carries that make him obviously better than Melvin Gordon.
Now I know that Melvin Gordon's still gonna be in
the mix. And I'm not suggesting the things in turn
into an eighty twenty, but I don't see any scenario

(27:50):
based on what Javontay Williams is showing us with these
special plays and what he's been able to do the
last couple of weeks where he at any point doesn't
get gets like in any way phased out. I just
think they have to start opening up this running game
to him. Now. The last couple of weeks just seven
and eight carries, which is which is disappointing, but I
think Gamescript was a lot of that, averaging seven yards

(28:11):
per carry in seven a half yards per carry, and
I just think it's you know, at some point, you know,
the investment they made at him, the fact that he's
obviously better than Gordon. They still there's a playing to
put their best players on the field. Williams is distancing
himself from Gordon, and I just think this thing and
has the upside to turn into instead of being the
pure fifty fifty it is now, it could be a

(28:33):
two third one third time share. I like Jontay Williams
to distance himself a bit from Gordon. I think this
is exactly the pin point where you go and you
buy Williams and I could not agree with you more.
I think this is a great one. I'm so glad
you brought him up because I feel like this is
also that pivot point in the season two where if
you're the Broncos, you were three and l now you
just lost two games in a row, so now you

(28:53):
got to say, Okay, what do we had to do
a little differently now that we're playing teams that are
a little bit better what was on our schedule in September?
And I think this is the point where you got
to start employing more talent. You're gonna get Jerry Judy back,
hopefully in a couple of weeks healthy. I'm if I
think this is the moment where if you have Williams,
you've been patient and you just wait it out, and
if you don't, this is your opportunity to get him more.
What are your thoughts on Javonte Williams here Yates too?

(29:14):
Is this the is this the perfect time to be
buying on him? It's a really interesting time to bring
him up because fantasy managers drafted him what the sixth
round of you know twelve team have PPR formats like
they drafted him in that range as there maybe RB two,
RB three or whatever. And you've had some injuries. Obviously
up to this point, every single fantasy manager is dealt
with injuries at the running back position. So like you're

(29:35):
at that at this point, you're your patience is wearing
thin on Javontay Williams and waiting for him to break out.
And I think that this is the perfect time where
you can start to invest because JK. Dobbins mark Ingram
that was, That's the situation that people look at from
last year and they say, this is what Javontay Williams
and Melvin Gordon could be. Now. I don't think that
it's going to be to the effect where you know,

(29:55):
in week eleven or whatever, Melvin Gordon is a healthy
scratch right like mark Ingram was last year. I don't
think that's going to be the case. You mentioned that
charge like, it's not gonna be an eighty twenty. But
I do think that we're going to start to see
Javontay Williams take over this backfield as we do move
throughout the season. This is the time where you invest
before that price continues to go up in the fantasy.
Managers that have Williams are getting a little impatient. So yeah,

(30:16):
I think this is a good call. What kind of
deal gets it done? Guys, we're trying to get Javontay Williams.
Would you would you take that gask In cell high
that we just kind of made some some you know,
jerky remarks about like, oh yeah, I think, but there's
an opportunity, right, like we like gasking the usages in question.
He's coming off a great game. Is that the exact
kind of guy you try to flip right now? Charge?
I think so? Um? You know, I think you could.

(30:38):
I could flip James Connor and his five touchdowns? And
did Javonte Williams to get us another rounded back that
isn't his touchdown dependent? Um? I think he's the kind
of guy that that might fit here. Um. Oh, Damien
Harris would be a tricky one, wouldn't it. I think
I I'd probably stick with Harris. Oh that's tough, isn't
It's tough? I think I would. I think it depends

(30:59):
on where I am the standings, you know. I think
that's where I'm at, Yates, Is there anybody in particular
the running back position you feel is a great buyload?
This week? It really was difficult to scan through the
top twenty and say that this is the running back
that you can go out and acquire cheap, because actually,
like the majority of the Top twenty running backs from
this past week produced, which was I think the first

(31:21):
time all season, whereas in previous weeks we've been able
to pinpoint one player and say like, Okay, this guy
disappointed here, you can go after him. So the guy
that did stay out to me is Chase Edmonds. Chase
Edmonds here a limited workload this past week. We didn't
see him necessarily contribute the way that fantasy managers may
have hoped. Now we did come into this game a
little bit banged up. I still think that he has
value as a low end running back to high end

(31:41):
running back three. And so if you can, if you
can trade someone, the guy that I kind of highlighted
here is Zach Moss. If you can take Zack Moss,
who did produce last week. But again, it's the benefit
of a positive game script. It's kind of the same
thing as James Connor, where the game script plays a
huge role in his fantasy value. Then I think that
you can take Zack Moss and you can ship and
four Chase Edmonds. I actually think that that's a trade

(32:02):
that gets done in the majority of leagues. Let's take

Sports Simplified Trades that I'm seeing a lot of Yates

(33:30):
right now, Dalvin Cook and zekewon Bark, a lot of
people who are just saying, get rid of these guys.
I can't handle it. I need some bodies. I've had
some losses. So that being said, I want to try
to help people out here engage some value. If you
wanted to trade four Dalvin Cook and you could give
up James Robinson, would you give up James Robinson to
get Dalvin Cook with this ankle injury Yates? Would you

(33:51):
do that deal? Yeah? I think that Dalvin Cook is
pretty close to returning. I don't think that this is
I've seen nothing to suggest that he's going to be
out multiple multiple weeks. So I think that if he's
not back this next week, it'll be the week after.
You know, And so if you can take James Robinson,
who has been producing, but yeah, I want to get
away from urban Meyer led players like I just want
to get away from that. So James Robinson has been great.

(34:11):
But if I can make that tear jump to go
up to Dalvin Cook, yeah, I'm making that move, all right.
I think it depends a little bit on if you're
sitting at one and two wins with Dalvin Cook right now,
and you know, if you can afford to wait it out.
It's so we have question mark coming up on this game,
probably plays, might not then a bye week, and the
bye week may add to the likelihood that he doesn't
play this week because they could now extend this thing

(34:32):
yet another week. And so I think this it really
depends on whether or not you're fortunate enough to have
enough wins that you can look a long term at
Dalvin Cook and afford what might be another two weeks
before you have him in your starting line up. Yeah,
I'm one in four in flex, so I'm probably not
defending the belt this year. I have Dalvin Cook and
David Montgomery. Those are my two reds, and so almost

(34:54):
have to make a move. I want to give me
James Robinson, give me Jackie Robinson, give me any Robinson.
I just need somebody to play. Missus Robinson, missus Robinson play.
It's just terrible right now. What about Naji Harris for
Dalvin Cook charge? Where would you stand on that end
of those deals? See? The problem with Harris is just
you know, too many, too many dud games by that

(35:15):
that that inconsistent offense and the much talked about offensive line.
And I try to but are they getting better? Charged? Like?
Are they? Is? They are starting to play better together
right time? I think it? I think they. I think
this line is getting a little bit better. But I
still I'm asking myself, Okay, if I'm if I'm going
to set myself up for the playoffs, can I get
three straight good games out of him? Now? The PPR

(35:38):
side of it says, Okay, I've got I've got a
high floor because I'm going to get four or five, six,
seven targets in probably all those games. Um, But I
still worry about the dud games we've already seen from
him and that that may end up that may end
up continuing. So if I didn't have to make that
move right away, I'd still stick with Cook and the
enormous upside and continuity that he brings. All right, let's

(35:59):
switch over or two wide receivers, Yates, You have any
particular buy lows this week at the wide receiver position. Yeah,
we talked about him earlier. I'm going with a J.
Brown and a J. Brown. It has not been pretty
like I I have AJ Brown in a couple of
spots my main Dynasty league, Like the Dynasty League that
I went into, it was like, guys, you want to
just give me the championship right now, like because this
team is just stacked sae Quon Barkley, Joe Mixon, Lamar Jackson,

(36:22):
A J. Brown, Allen Robinson, Odell Beckham, Junior, Robert Woods.
I'm five. It's been great, it's great, It's fine. Isn't
not the worst, though, Yates? I feel like that's so
true the drafts for you leave and that Flex league.
I was just mentioning I left that draft away. Kyler Murray,
I've got Cook, I've got muck Await, this is gonna
I'm gonna roll this right. It's always the draft you

(36:42):
leave feeling the best that end up being just just
the worst leagues to play out the drafted Cordell Patterson
in the second round. Yeah, so with AJ Brown one
hundred and thirty receiving yards this season. Now he's only
played in four games, but these are some of the
other players that have more receiving yards than A. J. Brown,
Freddie Swain, Richard Higgins, Adam Humphries, Braxton Barrios, Keelan cole,
Chester Rodgers, Khalige Raymond, and Kendrick Bourne. Okay, how depressed

(37:06):
are we right now? All right? I believe yeah, and
he's still yeah, exactly. So he played essentially the same
amount of games as J. J. Brown. Uh yeah, I
think you know, teams that have A J. Brown are
struggling like one hundred percent and they are in complete
panic mode right now with A J. Brown. So I
think that looking at some of the players that you
could potentially sell off, like Jacoby Myers, his perception, like

(37:29):
the perception that fantasy managers have of him, is much
higher than his production. And Jacoby Myers is simply just
in the same range of like a Tyler Boyd, one
of these high end flex plays that's not going to
crush your lineup, but he's not gonna help it, Like
he's not gonna push you over the top. So if
you can trade Jacoby Myers for a J. Brown, I'm
doing that. Kadarius Tony. If you want to take Tony
that you either had added him this past week before

(37:50):
the explosion, you add him off of waivers and someone
really really wanted him and they're willing to give you
a J. Brown. I'm making that massive tear jump from
Caldarius Tony to a J. Brown. I think that better
days are ahead for a J. Brown. I'm buying him.
Tony was the star of yesterday's Waiver Wires show. Paul.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Tony real quick.
If you all mind special player. I mean what you're
what I'm always looking for when we get our first

(38:11):
look at rookies is do you see special traits that
are going to add that are that in the NFL?
Now you can most of these guys have special traits
in college. When it hits the NFL, do you see
special traits that make that player do something that defenses
can't stop and some element of the game, And man, man,
does Tony habit? Wow? I mean it's uh, he is

(38:34):
so slippery and you didn't think of him as a vault.
I didn't think of as him a volume as volume
receiver until last week, and maybe that's not going to
hold up once players start returning, But I just I
just think there are so many special skills. And I
was a guy who was I was shocked and frankly
a little bit disappointed at where he got drafted because
of all of the players that they already had, all

(38:55):
the receivers they already had, and he didn't think he
was necessarily worthy of a first round pick. But clearly
I'm totally wrong, and I think this. I think this.
I don't think this is going to be one of
those situations where to look back and go, well, we
got fooled. I think Tony's I think Tony's a legit
and will be a sizeable contributor to the point that
I don't think it matters when Slayton comes back, and

(39:18):
I'm just gonna ask it. I don't know who these
guys coming back for the Giants are. You keep talking
about right, tell the giants because they don't know, they
have no idea who those guys are. Let's talk about
you and stay on rookies here, because I think you've
got a little theme with your bylows at two. As
a matter of fact, let's talk rookies. So maybe broadly,
can we agree receivers a tricky spot to pick up.

(39:39):
A lot of receivers just need a little needs some
time to ramp up. And here we are rolling into
week six, and most of our rookie receivers are better
now than they were in week one. I think a
lot of I look at two rookies in particular that
I think can can be significant, significant improvements in our
bilow opportunities. Let's start with Davanta Smith. Just the one
touchdown which suppressed is his value for his current current

(40:02):
fantasy managers. And clearly, I think the best receiver on
his team looks very, very natural at the pro level.
And I love the fact that they target him downfield.
And Hurts has got a big arm. He's not always
super accurate with his downfield passing, but he's a willing
downfield passer. Devant dismiss averaging fourteen average targeted air yards

(40:23):
fourteen is solid and it really does tell you that
they like to go to him downfield. And if you
believe like I do, that Dalen Hurts is going to
get better, then I want his best receiver and Hurts
is his best receiver. Get positive games coming up Tampa Bay,
Las Vegas, Detroit game on. I like Smith to find
the end zone more and improve on what's been a

(40:44):
good but not superstars showing through five weeks. So he's
my first player. What do you think I look. I
really like what I saw at Davante Smith this past
week too, and I was very high on him coming
into the year. Yates, what's your thoughts on Smith? Smith?
I think is definitely one of the players that I
would love to have on my roster. Again, it's expectation management.
It's where are we actually viewing him and where are
we comfortable having him on a roster. For me, that

(41:05):
is a wide receiver three like I think that he
is going to EBB and flow with Jalen Hurts and
in plus matchups like Kansas City, like the ones that
you mentioned upcoming, like absolutely, I think that he now
pushes into the wide receiver two territory in those matchups
he comes with upside, But I do think that we
have to at least be a little bit concerned when
they do play these tougher matchups and adjust expectations so
I don't think. I don't think that he is suddenly

(41:27):
going to become this league winner, but I do think
that he can absolutely contribute for fantasy lineups. Charge you know,
I always gauge the bylows, sometimes by the number of
questions I get on a certain player, and this morning
I had to have had if I had one, I
had six questions about Jalen Waddle. And to me, it's
a by low because we're getting to a coming back

(41:49):
and twa and Waddle is what I was excited about
in the first place, Like that's that's kind of why
I liked Waddle in the beginning of this So is
this a unique by low opportunity for Waddle. I think
it is maybe career by low opportunity for Jaylen Waddle
still get it on the field of ton eighty percent
snap count in four of five games. You've got the
always injured players in Fuller and Parker who are injured

(42:11):
right now, and a positive schedule three of the next
four games Jacksonville, Atlanta, Buffalo is a stopper, Houston three
of those four very positive gets two a back. I
think there's a real chance that Jaylen Waddle really hits
the accelerator in a big way in these in this
next month of games. I mean, Waddle is going to
be against Jacksonville this week. Waddle will probably be my

(42:31):
twenty twenty second, twenty fifth ranked wide receiver this week.
All Right, I want to talk about two guys whose
teammates had enormous days again on Sunday, and maybe they're
in the shadow a little bit, and I wonder if
that makes them interesting buy lows. The two names are
Keenan Allen and te Higgins, both very good, both very solid,
both have weekly upside, weekly floor. I assume those two

(42:55):
guys are probably people you would want on your rosters, yates.
Is this an opportunity to buy low on both these guys? Absolutely?
I think that Keenan Allen, if you can value him
as a high end wide receiver two, if you can
get him at that price point, then absolutely I would
love to have Keenan Allen on my roster. And then
te Higgins. I think that people are going to be
concerned just based on Jim R. Chase and how well
he is producing, how how well or how much the

(43:18):
chemistry is there between Burrow and Chase, And I think
with Higgins coming back week one off of that injury. Like,
I'm not super super concerned Tee Higgins when he is
fully healthy, when he is in the lineup, he is
a consistent set it as a low end wide receiver
two with upside every single week. And he gets Detroit
again this week, So I think that we could this
is the last chance I think to buy te Higgins
pretty low. All right, let's move on to the running

(43:39):
backs to sell highs charts. Let's start with you in
this one. Who are the running backs you think right
now you would look to sell high if you can
afford to sell high in a running back. Ye right,
I mean you know you're coming more on very quickly. Yeah,
we're turning good running backs into other good running backs
hopefully here. Kareem Hunt five touchdowns in five games is
uncharacteristic for him in this offense. We know that. I

(43:59):
don't think that's he's going to be able to maintain that,
And I think my goal would be to turn Kareem
Hunt into a workhorse back. Somebody that I know is
going to get dependable touches every single week, Joe mix
It and as one example of somebody that I know
is going to get reliable work, and I think you
can find people that are willing to make that trade

(44:19):
on Hunt. You know, over the course of his time
with Cleveland, this is high as he's ever been. This
is this is his You're selling at his absolute high moment.
And that's what we're all trying to do when we
make these trades. It's find high water marks for a player.
And Kareem Hunt's never been, never been a better producer
than he is right now for Cleveland. Yeah. Look, let's

(44:42):
try to see some of the names there. I think
we mentioned earlier, the Darrel Henderson's What about Robinson? Would
rather have Robinson? Would rather have Hunt rest of season
in the trade? For me, it'd be Robinson because again,
I'm trying to find a workhorse back with sure touches.
And that's the downside that Kareem Hunt gives you is
now that he ever turns into like a five touch guy.

(45:03):
But you know, he has games where he's he's clearly
behind Chubb, and frankly, Chubb's a better runner overall. So yeah,
I would I would make that trade because I do
want I want the workhorse backs with the short touches. Yeah,
it's about for you, is eera sell high running back?
Does that exist right now for you in here world? Again,
it's kind of the same thing where I talked about
Cordill Patterson last week as a sell high. It's like,
I think that his usage is here to stay. So

(45:24):
I'm not like selling him just because he had a
good game. Like I think, if you can make the
tear jump up, then that is what I'm looking to do,
and and you talked about that sure locked in workload.
That's exactly what I'm looking to do here when I
am selling high on Leonard Fournette. Leonard Fournette has thirty
two carries and ten targets over the last two weeks combined.
He has now completely taken over the lead back role.

(45:46):
But you do still have Giovanni Bernard kind of lurking here.
He did get that receiving touchdown. Fournette found the end
zone last week, which saved his fantasy day. So, but
the question becomes, can you trade him for a player
that doesn't have as many question marks? Right, you do
have Giovanni Bernard, You still Ronald Jones involved. Is Ronald
Jones get the touchdown when he's on the field, right,
Like we saw two weeks ago. This is still a
messy backfield, even though Leonard Fournette has kind of taken

(46:09):
over as that main guy. So I think if I can,
if I can trade him for a player that doesn't
have as many question marks, a guy like DeAndre Swift.
Now I know that Deandrett had a good game this
past week from a fantasy perspective, again, all the top
twenty running backs pretty much did. So it's going to
be hard to sell high and make that tier jump,
But send out offers in your leak see what you
can find, because there might be someone that really wants

(46:30):
to have the lead running back in the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers offense, and I don't blame them. But again, if
I can make that tier jump to be able to
get up and maybe even package Leonard Fournette for another player,
then that's what I'm doing. Yeah, it's funny. Leonard Fournette
was mine too, Paul, go ahead, God, I just I
love that answer. It's it's at the perfect moment for
all the reasons Yates just said. You get you get
out of the most worrisome, headache inducing, bowel loosening backfield

(46:54):
in the NFL. At a high, at a sell high
moment for Leonard Fournette on I mean, who when you've
got Ard Fournette in your lineup and you click submit, right,
nobody feels good about that click? You know that's what
you're Everything tightens in your body and you're like, oh god,
my fingers spasming over the mouth, mouse button. Oh mine. Well,
you're Rick Flair esque right there. You were like, you know,

(47:17):
what was the what was? I gave it repeated? I'm
even sure what you had said. It was hilarious. You
were like, you're like frustrating and something in this and
then now loosening whoo, Like you were just that and
you're right. And here's the thing. Even if you have
Leonard Fournette and you have that backfield, theoretically, what's the
cap on that backfield? The cap is Tom Brady wanting

(47:37):
to throw the ball over the place and throwing four
hundred yards and five touchdowns, which is another thing. But
Fournette was the other guy for me. I wonder, I
just wonder, can you turn Leonard Fournett into David Montgomery
right now? Boys? Do you think that's a trade you
can pull off? Because I think he can yeah, yeah,
especially for someone who needs a running back right now. Absolutely.
I it depends on who you have at your running

(47:58):
back position though, right like who else you have. If
you if you had a running back who is currently injured,
you know, a cech or something like that, and now
you need Leonard Fournet as your RB two, then obviously
you're not making that move. But if you have the
depth and Fournett is a depth piece, then and you
can afford to wait a couple of weeks to get
David Montgomery in the upside that he has. Absolutely all right,
real quick, guys, give me a wide receiver right now.

(48:20):
Charge will start with you that you think is an
interesting cell high how about Dj Moore? Good player? And
I want to get a good player in return. As
Sam Darnold better learns this offense, he really should start
diversifying his target ratios a little bit, right. He's got
other good receivers Robbie Anderson, Terris Marshall needs to get
some some more snaps. And you know, Moore's never been

(48:41):
a reliable touchdown producer. He's got three and five games
this year. Maybe that doesn't sustain itself. And so Dj
Moore right now, you can turn Dj Moore into almost
anybody you want. So it feels like a cell high
opportunity for a player I like, but I can turn
him into another player I like. Who's got I think

(49:02):
maybe more sustainable and likely continued high level success than
Dj Moore? Who's you know? Currently? You know what like
wide receiver five and fantasy scoring yate tab oft for you?
Is there a name or two a wide receiver that
really popped to you as sell highs? This week, Courtland
Sutton comes to the top of the list for me,
and coming off of a seven reception one hundred and
twenty yard and a touchdown performance, he looks great. Don't

(49:25):
want to take any anything away from what he is doing,
but he's had big performances already this year and then
has disappeared. And there are fantasy managers I've seen I
know you're there. I know I've seen you on Twitter
that you absolutely love Courtland Sutton and you think that
he has wide receiver one upside, and so I think
that taking advantage of that, just send out some offers.
If you've got Courtlon Sutton, send out some offers. See
what you can get. Guys like T Higgins if you

(49:46):
can make that jump from Courton Sutton to t Higgins,
I would do that. I think that te Higgins coming
off of that down performance, I think we're going to
see that bounce back and then another got Michael Pittman Junior.
Do we see maybe that people are wanting to both
had big performances here, But I'm buying in to Michael
Putman Junior and his consistency more than Corton Sutton. Yeah,
that's that's very fair. Suton was actually mine too, or
on the same page a lot today. Boys, that's good.

(50:08):
It's consensus is good sometimes when it comes to these things.
We've seen enough, that's for sure. And now it's time
to get to the consensus rankings where guys are rising
and falling. Yate' I'm gonna start with you. Who is
the running back that has risen up your ranks? Rest
of season? After Week five's in the books, after the
Sonny Michelle trade, I talked about Darryl Henderson still being
a top fifteen running back and I got destroyed and

(50:30):
I apparently was too low on Darryl Henderson and saying
that Daryl Henderson is at RB twelve for me. Rest
of season. I am a complete, complete believer in what
he is doing in this offense. Sony Michelle's presence does
not scare me, especially when you take into consideration the
context that we talked about earlier. Darrell Henderson RB twelve
on the rest of the season rankings for me, yeah,
RB twelve is actually my guy too, but it's a

(50:51):
different name. It's James Robinson. I love where his volumes going.
It's better late than never, I guess. But Murray still
had about this first couple of weeks for Robinson. But
bell cows are hard to find right now as well
as healthy running backs. How about you charge who is
a running back that moved up your rankings for the
rest of the season after this past week. Jonathan Taylor
loved what I saw from him on Monday Night. Actually

(51:12):
the last couple of weeks, he's run with real intensity
and I know, you know last on Monday Night just
the three point five yards per carry, but the way
he got to the three point five yards per carry,
and then of course his involvement in the passing game.
I just think this offensive line is going to get better.
Quinn Nelson back and the whole offense just getting better,
clearly with Carson Wentz be more comfortable. I think we're

(51:34):
back into the top five six range for Jonathan Taylor,
about where he was drafted in many leagues. I think
we're finally at that stage with the Colts offense where
he's ready to perform at the expectations that we had
in August. All right, let's move to the guys who
are falling charge. Who's a guy that's falling down the
rankings after week five is now in the books? Yeah,
and so some of the players that that worry me

(51:55):
at least a little bit. You know, Aaron Jones is
starting to lose some legitimate time. I'm to AJ Dillon.
And while I expected AJ Dillon's role to expand, I
think we all did. What I didn't necessarily expect is
AJ Dillon to be an active participant in the passing game.
And I had counted on Aaron Jones like housing all
of those or near all of those Jamal Williams receptions

(52:15):
from last year. And if AJ Dillon is going to
continue to pick up three ish receptions. We saw Matt
Lafleur come out and say that his biggest regret from
last weeks he didn't get aj Dillon enough playing time.
Then that worries me a little bit on Aaron Jones,
and I might want to I might want to sell
him high for another player that I that I like
a lot my guys, Miles Sanders all the way down

(52:36):
to twenty six right now, and he might even be
lower if not for all the injuries. Other guys like
he could be closer to thirty right now, if not beyond. Look,
we've been talking about him the last couple of weeks.
I'm not going to beat the dead horse, Yates. Who
is your guy that's getting fallen down here in the
running back side of rankings? Apparently I did well. I
will say this. I did not look at your names, Joe,

(52:56):
I promise you. I did not look. We never do.
Do you have the show any pot that we're on
the same people. But it's crazy you mentioned RB twenty
six and rest of the season rankings at RB twenty seven,
and for the exact same reason. It's like that I
would have him much lower, except who were might kind
of rank him behind, you know, like it's just that's
just the nature of it right now. But Miles Sanders,
you can't play him all right, let's talk about the

(53:17):
wide receivers going up. I'm the prisoner of the moment
right now when it comes to Jamar Chase. He has
wide receiver twelve for me. Right now, he has a
wide receiver one. I don't want to hear anybody tell
me any different because you can't tell me any different.
And if you're worried about him dropping the balls and
you faded him in drafts, then bad job on you, Yates.
Who's moved up the most and wide receiver for you?
It's not Jamar Chaise. Don't worry. I mean he has,

(53:39):
but that's not the n I'm gonna talk. Michael Pittman Junior.
Whoa Let's go. I talked about it on the Start
Sit Show this past week saying that touchdowns are coming.
I did not expect it to be in a highlight
real fashion of a he mossed the defender. I did
not expect that. But Michael Pittman Junior, man, he is
the clear wide receiver one in this offense. And I
think that he a star is being born right in

(54:02):
front of our eyes. So Michael Pittman Jr. Rising up
the ranking. Sea is now at wide receiver twenty seven
in my rest of the season charge, who's moving up
your RB ranks? Wide receiver ranks? I believe? Oh yeah,
I'm sorry, wide receiver rank. I know. Problem. How about
Hunter Renfro, somebody who was something of a late round
afterthought for most of us, has turned into the most
reliable wide receiver option on an offense. That's last I

(54:25):
look either second or third in total passing yards, and
so incrementally, Hunter Rentfro moving up, and now somebody that
slots into the mid thirties in terms of wide receiver
rankings rest of the year for me, and I just
I just think reliability counts for a lot. And you
know what five yards, five catches in sixty yards every
game and a coin flips chance at a touchdown. Here's

(54:45):
Hunter Rentfro out of nowhere. Yeah, that's a good name,
all right. Who's going in the opposite direction for you, Paul?
Wide receivers going going the opposite direction for me, Corey Davis,
because I think, you know, Zack Wilson just one just
the one good start for bad starts, and Jamison Crowder
really eating into his target share a lot, and I
don't I'm looking at the rest of the season schedule,

(55:07):
and there's a bunch of unfavorables in there that I
don't like, and I don't like even this week's by
so I've moved Corey Davis down the rest of the way. Yeah,
Tyler Lockett's that guy from Rey's at wide receiver thirty
But that could get worse by this afternoon, possibly as
I continue to look at things. Yeah, it's how about
for you, who's moving in the wrong direction at wide receiver. Oh,
it's interesting. To begin the season, we moved Aldell Beckham
Junior down based on where we had drafted him, and

(55:28):
then he started to rise back up and he's right
back down Ode Beckham. I don't know whause we moving
him up. It's not this guy Odell Beckham Junior back
at wide receiver thirty seven for me in most of
the season rankings. It makes zero sense why he is
not featured in this offense. But that's just I don't
I don't know. I don't know. So Odell Beckham Junior,
I am again. He's on that dynasty team that was
supposed to bring me a championship and is Zoe and five.
