receivers to buy ericson who was number one on your list?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Dan Campbell's favorite wide receiver, Jamison Williams, wide receiver for
the Detroit Lions. We saw this past week Dan Campbell
take a bigger role in terms of play calling for
the Lions. He wasn't necessarily loving what John Morton had
been doing, where he thought that he could prove upon
it at his own wrinkle to the offense, and I
think that resulted in Jamison Williams having one of his

(01:34):
best games of the season six of seven targets one
hundred nineteen yards in a touchdown, with the majority of
the stuff coming in the second half. So in the
first half of the game, the Lions could basically do
whatever they wanted. It was a lot of Amara Saint Brown,
it was a lot of Samuel Porta obviously Jamier Gibbs,
and in the second half, when they were already kind
of in cruise control, it was bombs away, like, let's

(01:54):
get Jameson Williams some numbers here. So in a game
script that usually is always about okay, dam just gonna
absolutely fast in the spot, there's really more Jameson Williams
still being heavily involved, especially as a downfield threat. So
Dan Campbell is CEO president of the Jameson Williams Fan Club.
I think that he absolutely he loves and adores the guy.

(02:14):
He's the guy that's been coaching him up and hyping
him up the last two off seasons, and I know
that it's kind of been bumpy in the beginning of
the season for Jameson Williams. He's been up and down.
I think that this is a really good thing for
him that Dan Campbell did take over the play calling duties,
and I think that his usage is going to hear
to stay. I think he's ever made an integral part
of this offense. And the schedule rest of season four
the Detroit Lions, I think is fantastic. So this week

(02:38):
is not great. They're playing on the road at Philadelphia,
but after this game. They're playing indoors every single week
of the season until Week eighteen, which we don't care
about because it's outside of the fantasy football postseason. So
Jameson Williams indoors rest of the way. That's something that
I want to buy into, especially if Dan Campbell remains
as the play caller, which after they just scored forty

(02:58):
four points against the Comanders probably be the case.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
So that's like scoring twenty five against the normal team.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
So good. It still good, though, still good.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
They could have scored sixty in that game if they
wanted to. I mean, the Commanders defense is absolutely true.
I mean it truly might be worse than like the
Bengals defense right now. I mean it is awful.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
The effort levels are definitely at the horrific right now.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Just a heinous performance. Yeah, Jamison Williams of whyder is
he for twenty nine in the rest of the season rankings?
I don't understand what, Like he's behind Garrett Wilson. Wilson
is gonna miss three to four weeks. That is like
so relevant, at least three to four weeks, by the way,
Like that's even if it's just three or four weeks
that is so relevant this late in the year. That

(03:43):
was like the rest of the regular season, Like, I
don't get that, honestly, you can make a case to
me that you would rather have Jameson Williams and Brian
Thomas Junior. They're back to back in ECR right now,
Like just if Dan Campbell really is gonna be calling
the players the rest of the season, I went to,
I think that is such a huge chain chain for
Jameson specifically that like I would I would bump him

(04:03):
up a lot, honestly, Like, I think he's borderline into
wide receiver two territory under Dan Campbell going forward, and
you're getting him at a discount right now. It's buying
a high because he's coming off of a good game.
But I think this is a case where it's smart
to buy high and and hope that maybe the Jameson
Williams manager is looking to sell high and say, hey,

(04:24):
he was frustrated for a lot of the year, Like
see if you can don't just assume that because you
want a guy that his manager wants him to Like
we talked about in the previous you know, in part
one of the show, Erickson, how do you get trades done,
ask like, how many times have you seen somebody trade
a player away? And you go, well, I would have
traded for him, and the guy's like, well I didn't.
I know you wanted to like talk when we're not

(04:45):
mind readers, right, like, go ask and if they say no,
I want to hold onto James Williams. Okay, you've lost
nothing except for a couple of seconds of your time, Like,
but go ask because I think this is a great one.
I think I think you cannot overemphasize enough how much
Dan Campbell likes Jamis and Williams and how much of
an impact it could have this change at the play caller,

(05:05):
Where would you have hi ranked dress of the season?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I think he'd probably be a top twenty four guy
for me, and I realized that a lot of his
production is not going to be consistent, probably especially even
like this sweet right week eleven at Philadelphia. Could the
lines lay an egg here? Yeah, I think that's totally possible.
But the upside that Williams can offer on a week
to week basis is what I'm chasing here. I want
that extra firepower in my fantasy lineup for the fantasy

(05:32):
postseason because of Jameson Williams goes off for one hundred
and fifty and two. Well, I'm going to be a
hard guy to beat in the Fantasy postseason that week.
And because all they're doing is playing dome games. I
think that's always in Jameson Williams range of outcomes. So yeah,
it's always possible that he is boom or bus, but
we won't. We went with upside worm right that Jameison
Willias are on Kamara who has more upside? It's Jamo, right.

(05:53):
I get the Kamara's going to offer that a floor,
but the floor is not going to win you anything.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I was going to ask you about a different scene.
Would you rather have Jameson Williams ors lave.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Man A lave is really hard for me to gauge
because I don't think that the ceiling is super super high. Yes,
he cut a long touchdown last week. Does he do
that ever again this season? Like that? Like, That's what
I'm concerned about. So I think I still lean a
lave just because I don't think that. I mean, his
floor is really really really high, and he has had

(06:23):
a couple of spike weeks here and there, but I
don't feel I don't feel great about it. I don't know, like,
do you should it be Jamo all the way here?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I find that to be. They're very close, just in
different ways. So I don't feel strongly about that one.
Alave is ranked higher and consensus, but which I think
makes sense. Yeah, let's go to another wide receiver to buy,
and it's another wide receiver that you know it's not
a buy low. It's somebody who who's ranked highly. I
mean Jas Williams isn't ranked tily, but you know it's

(06:53):
another by a high Jalen Wattle coming off a wide
receiver one finish, not wide receiver one overall, but like
he was inside the top twelve five catches, eighty four
yards and a touchdown last week, has been getting great
work with Tyreek Hill out and he gets that aforementioned
Washington Commander's defense this week. He does have a buy
coming up the week after, which again becomes more relevant

(07:13):
to later in the season. You get there's fewer weeks
to make up for it. But Dalen Waddle is on
your list here and.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Jaylen Waddle is one of my favorite draft targets this offseason,
and it really hasn't played out the way that I
thought it would. Obviously did not consider that, you know,
Tyrrey Kill was going to get injured, or that the
Miami Dolphins offense would be as dysfunctional as it's been
at times. But the last couple of weeks Miami has
kind of looked a little bit better, I think, both
offensively and defensively, and more importantly, they're winning games, which

(07:44):
means Mike McDaniel isn't going to get fired. I feel
pretty confident that they beat the Commanders in Spain, that's
another win for them. They just beat the Buffalo Bills.
McDaniel think is going to be the head coach for
the rest of the season. Now after that, I'm not
exactly sure what they're going to do. They already fired
the GM but as long as McDaniel's call the shots,
they have two at quarterback. Wattle is a fantasy wide receiver.

(08:04):
One one game this year without Terry Kill has he
failed to top eighty two yards, and it was that
one game in Cleveland in bad weather. But five to
six games he's had at least eighty two receiving yards.
He's been an absolute monster without Tyreek Hill in the lineup,
So you look at the Dolphins' final eight games, four
of them are at home, so you're playing in good weather,
which I think is ideal for fantasy production. Again, this

(08:26):
is a neutral matchup this week, but it's against the
Washington Commanders who basically can't feel the defense. Yeah, sign
me up for Jaalen Wall And for those that maybe
are concerned that Mike McDaniel might get fired or the
Miami Dolphins are going to go back to this dysfunctional team,
I think they definitely still have that elements of that,
and I think that there is still that sentiment that
things can kind of get off the rails here, which

(08:47):
is why I think Waddle can be acquired still because
I don't know if he's getting the credit enough for
how well he's performed without Tyreek Hill this season. So
that's for me, he's like, I just like buying Jalen Waddle.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, he has over eighty yards in five of his
last six games. The Dolphins could have been dysfunctional in
a lot of those games, and he has still been
giving you a floor. He's been. He has at least
eleven Fantasy points and half VPR in those five games.
Like he's been really productive like with a high floor,
and he's also giving you a bit of a ceiling,
like he has three wide receiver one finishes in that time.

(09:21):
He was wide receiver four, wide receiver four, WI receiver
eleven in three of those weeks. So like that game
at Cleveland, which was horrible weather and just the hideous game,
is the only dud since Week four, Like since the
first month of the season ended, he has been really,
really good. So and I agree that I don't know
that he's thought about as much as this top option.

(09:43):
But he's wide receiver ten on the season despite a
slow start, Like this has been a wide receiver one
year for Jalen Waddall, and there's there's no reason to
think that's going away now.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Again, the concern was that the fire mccaniel a bench
Tua and then Zach Wilson's quarterback and then it's a disaster.
But because winning at this point right, I don't think
it's happening anymore, because they're starting to win games, yeah,
and their schedule is offering them matchups where they can
be their favorite. Against the Commanders this week, they should win,
unless again it's in Spain. Weird stuff happened in some
of these international games. But they can just take advantage

(10:15):
of a terrible defense, which McDaniel can't control defense as
much because they don't have great personnel, but their defense
is playing with much more effort and McDaniel's still a
strong offensive play caller and against a terrible defense like Washington, yeah,
he's gonna have Tua throwing the ball effectively. It's just
a matter of his big issue is the turnovers, right, Like,
that's how they lose this game, is if he just

(10:35):
turns the ball over, which he even did against Buffalo.
Who's turning the ball over. So besides that, I think
this offense can at least still be elite. Four guys
that we care about the most, which is Wattle and
a Hm.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I love Wattle. Seems like a strong buy, so does
jameson Williams. I think there's two really good picks by you.
You can use the trade Analyzer at fantasypros dot com,
slash my Playbook, or on the Fantasy Pros app to
instantly evaluate how any trade will affect your team for
this week, the rest of the season, or even in Dynasty.
Let's get to the wide receivers to sell interesting name
here you have first ericson Troy Franklin.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, Troy Franklin, who has been out producing Courtland Sutton
over the last couple of weeks, and I think it's
been really frustrating for Sutton managers, and I think it's
been kind of surprising for those that picked up Troy
Franklin off waivers earlier in the season that this guy's
been producing at a pretty high level. One of the
most insane stats about Troy Franklin this year in terms
of his usage is he's right up there with Devonte

(11:27):
Adams as the leader in total red zone targets and
two point conversion attempts. It's bonkers because you look at
all the names in terms of red zone targets, you
don't think you're going to see the Denver Broncos number
two wide receiver a top the list, But there he is,
and Courtland Sutton is like nowhere to be found, which
is just very, very bizarre. But despite that the fact

(11:48):
that Franklin actually has a twenty percent target here over
the last six weeks, which is actually higher than Cortland Sutton's,
I think we're going to see this usage start to
level out a little bit I don't think that Sutton
has shown this year that he is just like Dust
or that he's no longer the alpha in the Broncos
passing game. Now, to Franklin's credit, he has definitely taken
a major step in his second season. But if you

(12:08):
just look at straight up points per game, Sutton is
still out producing Troy Frunklin in just straight up points
per game, despite the fact that Troy Franklin is seeing
significantly better usage for fantasy football purposes, whether it's air yards,
whether it's the red zone targets that I just mentioned.
But Franklin isn't even taking advantage of all these opportunities
like he even should be. So he has eight plus

(12:29):
or he has four games with eight plus targets four straight.
He has one game with more than forty receiving yards
over that span. He scored four touchdowns in his last
four games for PFF. Franklin PFF seventy first graded wide
receiver this season, So he's not taking full advantage of
all the opportunities he's seeing, which to me suggests that
maybe the Broncos don't focus on hyper targeting him nearly

(12:52):
as much, because when they've been targeting Troy Franklin. Yeah,
he's been catching touchdowns, but more often than not, it's
like not resulting in the greatest play ever. And we
saw this last year with Courtland Sun. First half of
the season kind of started a little bit slower, had
that terrible game against the Saints where he hit zero catches,
and then second half of the season him and Bonnicks
really started to click and they went on a tear.
So I think that Sutton gets a little bit more

(13:14):
involved the rest of the season, which when you look
at the Broncos schedule is also much tougher than it
was to start the year. They have matchups against the Chiefs,
which is an ideal Jaguars, Green Bay Packers another tough
matchup against a tough defense. So I think Franklin, to me,
it's just a process play where this guy scored a
bunch of touchdowns over the last couple of weeks. I
don't think he's gonna be the alpha in the passing

(13:34):
game all year long. And I think you can take
advantage of those that are looking at the box score
where yoah, Troy Franklin's looking pretty good. He's seeing a
bunch of targets. Has he taken over as the alpha,
which I don't necessarily think will be the case when
we finish up the rest of the season with Cortland
Sun and Place seeing more volume.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
He sos, why does your forty in the rest of
the season rankings? I don't. I think it's probably about fair. Honestly,
is a bye week coming out? He's Kansas City, then
a bye week, but then he does get Washington after that,
which is appealing. He gets at Casey in week seventeen,
which is you know, tough for him in the Broncos.

(14:11):
I think this probably makes sense. How much do you
think you can get? Like, what do you think you
would get for Troy Franklin in a trade?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Right now, I can tell you exactly what you should
get with Troy Franklin. His name is Rashi Shaheed. That's
what you should get.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay. We actually have a question coming up in the
listener Question segment just asking if we should be buying
low on Shaheed. You would trade Troy Franklin for Shied?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yes, I would do that. The thing was Shahed. It's
really hard to take away a ton of stuff from
his first game with the Seahawks because it was thirty
five and nothing in the second quarter, so it's really
hard to understand what his usually was going to be.
But think about this, Shaheed already played the Rams this season.
He played the Rams two weeks ago. He had a

(14:55):
thirty six percent target share in that game against the
opponent that the Seahawks are playing this week. So there's
a bunch of tape about Shahed against this Rams defense
that Clink Kubiak can spend all week in the lab
maneuvering and manufacturing touches for Shaheed. I think that this
is a monster potential game for Shahed and the fact
that he bombed in his debut, even though it really

(15:16):
wasn't his fault, it was more like the game script. Mean,
Sam Donald through the ball twelve times. I mean, besides
Jackson Jigman, no wide receiver can really be good when
his quarterback throws twelve times. So I think that this
is a really sharp move to make. Would be flipping
Franklin after scoring another touchdown to Shaheed off a mid game.
But I think that the trajectory is pointing in completely
different directions for these two players.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Okay, so we're buying Low and Shiheed. I think that's
a good call, I think you can definitely get that done.
Let's go to your other wide receiver to sell Nico Collins.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
And this one really really pains me because I love
Nico Collins and draft season and it's just been not
a fun ride for the Houston Texans. Their offensive line
has been issue. C just drat has been banged up,
and I think that if you were trying to ship
off Collins, I know I got a bunch of questions
about Collins this year, about what I do with Collins,
I think this is the time to sell high. He

(16:07):
just had a monster game against the Jaguars, seven for
fifteen targets, one hundred and thirty six yards, but I
want to point out that fifty four of those yards
came on a hail Mary attempt at the end of
the second half. He has faced Jacksonville twice this year.
He has gone over one hundred yards both games against
the Jaguars. We talked about this on the Rank Show,
how this was a really good matchup for him, Like,
this is a matchup that he took advantage of when

(16:28):
Stroud was healthy again predictably had a good game. Even
without that fifty yard completion. He still would have had
a solid game, but I just really concerned about this
Texans offensive line rest of season. And when you look
at the rest of season schedule for quarterbacks and it's
zero stars in the Strength of Schedule tool, It's a
zero star raid dead last among all teams. So the

(16:50):
schedule for the Texans, if it's bad for CJ. Shroud,
it's going to mean it's bad for Nico Collins. So
I think that you have to sell high on this opportunity.
And it's not to say Nico Collins can't pop off
again or have any other good games, but I think
that this could be a peak for him, just based
on how well he's always performed against the Jaguars. And
you don't need trade persuade to convince someone because you

(17:13):
can talk about it always comeing off a monster game.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
C J.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Stroud coming back from concussion protocol, he did it with
Davis Millsworm. Like Nico Collins. He's back, he's fully back.
And I'm just not convinced because I still think this
offensive line is absolutely terrible and that's not going to
be changing anytime soon, even with Stroud coming back, So
I think you can still get a decent return for
him off a monster game, which is why I would
consider selling high.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I was so unbelievably torn in draft season on Nico
Collins Verus straight London. I like agonized over this, and
I was picking in a spot in the first round
in a lot of drafts just by happenstance where I
had to make that decision. It was like, those were
the two choices I had at the top of my board,
and I did take London in some of them, but

(17:55):
I just really feel so much regret for how many
of them I took Niko because I just like I
had to plant my flag on one of them, and
I went with Nico over lunch. I loved him both,
of course, but they were both inside like my top
five or six receivers. But yeah, Nico just has not
worked out. Who would you be looking to get for him,

(18:16):
because he's does have kind of a big name, you know,
first round, you know, fantasy draft pick pedigree, coming off
a big game, So I think you can maybe get
something even though he's it's been roughly, you know, a
rough year for him. So what do you think is
the right kind of name to be asking for?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Can you get Wattle?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I think I think you probably could think that's.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I think that's because again they're both coming off good games.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Nico's See this doesn't help me, Rickson, because the league
I'm asking about, I have Nico and Wattle. I can't
go trade for a while.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I already have you absorbed too much of my content
during this offseason, because look.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
It's our big where we hit. We have this like
sixty person where you know, it's like a bunch of
leagues split into it's a few a bunch of different
sixteen team leagues. It's like a big deal here at
Fantasy Pro. So it's a very deep league. And I
do have Nico at, Wattle and Igbuka. Actually I have
all three of them in that league, which is why
I'm doing well. But yeah, I would love to move Nico.

(19:10):
I just I wonder what the right name is. I
think Waddle's a good example.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Wattle, and then what about Pickens and just buying to
Dallas offense.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, defense may be a little bit improved to the
point where it's not as much of an auto shootout.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Every time, but okay, how good the Texans defense is?
They don't playing shootouts? Really? I mean, this game was
such an anonymaly about I don't I do back like.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
I do work, Like I don't think Pickens is bat obviously,
like he's still been getting like seventy eight plus yards
a game. I do wonder like if the same level
of ceiling is there with you know, with cd back,
Like he's still good, right, Like I'm not saying Pickens
a bad player, but he's been wide receiver twenty eight
wide sever twenty three, wide sever twenty nine the last
three weeks, so it's not like he's had that same

(19:59):
crazy ceiling that he did.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Cd Out agreed, but we do know that that ceiling exists.
Where what if Lamb misses a game, right and you
have pick Like the thing is like Collins, like, how
is Colin's going to level up? He can't, Like he's
already the number one Shroud even if he comes back.
How much he doesn't get to play the Jaguars again

(20:20):
this year? Like that's the other concern, Like, so yeah,
I feel like I'm kind of more open to the
Pickens thing, even though kind of accepting that with Lamb
it's not nearly as good. But Pickens has still shown
like a really high weekly ceiling, which Collins again when
he's not facing the Jaguars. He really hasn't shown that
much this year with Shroud and this terrible Texans offensive line.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
What about Ladd?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yes, definitely? Would they're back to back in Yeah, would
be easy. That's the one I would definitely do.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I agree with that. Ladd's one spot behind in the rankings,
but I agree I'd rather flat all right. Quarterbacks and
tight ends. We always look these two together. So you
give me one buy from this position in one.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Cell, Trey McBride is my bye. Now could you call
him McBride Trey mcbye? And obviously this is gonna cost
you a lot to got to get Trey McBride because
he's on fire, and with Jakobe Prissett, the guy cannot.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
The contentsus rest of season. Number one tight Endon Erickson
is going out in the lit He is putting his
reputation on the line, telling you to go acquire Trey McBride.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
But I'm saying this because in Week seventeen he plays
the Cincinnati Bengals. Trey McBride may score more points than
anyone else in fantasy football in Week seventeen, which is
the Fantasy Football Championships. So I'm telling you this as
if you were making your fantasy postseason and you are
trying to guarantee that I'm gonna win the ship this year,
you might need to figure out a way to get
McBride on your roster because beating that team or facing

(21:47):
that team in the Fight Fantasy Football playoffs in the
championships is going to be really hard to beat them
because he might score thirty five points against the Cincinnati
Bengals because of how bad they have been against tight
ends and how good he has been with Jacoby Prissett.
So again, I don't know what type of trade you
might have to make. This is probably going to require
a running back receiver elite to get the Bride, But

(22:09):
that's what I would be looking for if I feel
good about my postseason or this is kind of even
like agnostic of like what my tight end situation is,
Like I could have Rock Bowers and I don't care. Well,
that's that's the.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Thing, right, Like start like Bowers for McBride is not
going to happen as a trade because if you have
one of those two, you're not moving them and you're
not going to be able to move a lower tight
end for him. So if you're trading for McBride, it's
not going to come from tight end, it's going to
have to come from wide receiver or running back.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, and I guess for me, it's he should be
viewed because of this one matchup in the similar tiers
of almost all the top end elite players where I'm
talking about like, I mean, we've talked about Bijon Robinson
as like a by low running back. I mean you
might have to use Bijon as a chip to get
I mean, you want to see someone that would make

(22:55):
a trade for I t had to move Bijeon to
get training Bride in some type of deal. I would
do that because I just think that McBride, what he
can do in Week seventeen is so high and how
much that matters for you to win.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
And by the way, it's not just Week seventeen. He
has been tight ended two tight end, three tight six
tight one the last four weeks that he's played. There
was a bye week mix in there. The last four
games he's played seventeen points, twenty four points, fourteen points,
twenty three points. He's already been playing at an elite level.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, So yeah, he also is not just about Week seventeen,
but I'm trying to put it the emphasis on that,
and maybe that's the reason why maybe you kind of what.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
If Tyler's back in week seventeen, are you gonna feel
a lot worse about it?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
I'll be gutted.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, all right, So travc bride, obviously we love him,
but love him even more than you might have guessed.
Is the point here? By high on Trade McBride, Dray
mcbye cell, you have Caleb Williams here.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yes, I do have Caleb Williams. And the reason is
the last two matchup has been really favorable for him.
He's faced the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Giants,
two of the softer matchups in the NFL four quarterbacks.
The rest of the schedule this season is not good
for him. This week, Week eleven, he's playing on the

(24:09):
road against the Minnesota vikingsins Brian Flores. That can be
a tough defense for young quarterbacks. And Caleb Williams has
been really up and down this year. Sometimes he's looked
like he's taking the next step, other times it looks
like he has no idea what he's doing. So if
we're getting more up and down play, and he's not
making as many plays with his legs. That concerns me
about what his actual ceiling is going to be coming
off just to really soft matchups. He also have to

(24:30):
play the Packers twice, which is also really really tough.
So I think that Caleb Williams is someone that I
would look to sell high on if I'm at my
fantasy quarterback position.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
He still does not have a game this season where
he is finished between QB ten and twenty. He has
either been inside the top ten or outside the top
twenty in every week this season, very much up or down.
Caleb is QB fourteen and rest of season rankings. I
think that's probably about right if you had to guess
that he finishes higher or lower than that the rest

(25:02):
of the way, Like from here at this point on
out sounds like you would guess that he finishes lower
than that.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, I will probably take the under on him finishing
that way, just because the schedule is really tough and
we know that with fantasy quarterbacks. Yes, he does have
the rushing which I think will always kind offer him something, but.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well it hasn't offered him something. He has four games
this season where he hasn't been inside the top twenty.
So like, even though he has the rushing it has
not always lifted his floor. True.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
True, So yeah, that's what concerns me about him rest
of the season.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
All right, let's get to some audience questions here. We'll
go quickly through these, then we'll get out of here.
This question comes from Ryan on Instagram. Actually, thanks for
the question, Ryan, Trayvon Henderson for Jordan Addison. It's a
half PPR. Also has Javante Videll and Marx on the
running back side, and has London o'doonsay, Marvin Harrison Junior,
and Parker Washington on the receiver side. Again, he has Javante,

(25:58):
Videll and Marx. He has lundonza Harrison Junior at Parker Washington.
Would you trade Traveon Henderson to add Addison?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, do not trade Traveon Henderson. Do not trade away
a league winner when he's in your lap. Guys, don't
do it.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, when I wrote this down, I think he's trading
away Henderson. I can't remember off the top of my
head if I wrote that down, right, So, if you're
trading four Henderson, do it. If you're trading away Henderson,
do not do that, Ryan. Next question here, this person
has Sutton, Teterola McMillan and Shakir. Is there a package
they can make between those two upgrade?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah? This is a tough one because you're trying to
sell a bunch of ponies try to get a horse,
which sometimes can work in some of these.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I don't. I don't think Shaki is going to be
a part of this. I think if you're doing this,
it's gonna have to be Sutton and McMillan. So what
can you get for those two packaged Wattle?

Speaker 2 (26:53):
He is one of my favorite buye I bet my
receiver targets Waddle would be one that I would look
to target.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
What about Hey? Is that enough of an upgrade?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I think the ceiling for Higgins just on a weekly
basis with Flacco Slash Burrow is way higher than it's
been with I mean, I love Tam Mac, but it's
just ya, it's hard to get there with the I mean,
his rookie year is so it reminds me so much
of Drake London's rookie year, where every week the guy
just puts up like alpha target share numbers. But then
you look at the box car. Yeah, five for thirty two,

(27:25):
just just not impressed by the Like we'll be screaming
for t Mac next year for sure, because his usage
is off the charts. But until we get any type
of just more passing from the Panthers, which they just
don't want to do with bry Sung right now, it's
really more about focusing a reek of that. Again, I
think Tamac is fine with this floor, but Higgins has
a really really high ceiling on a weekly basis, so

(27:45):
I think that's a good name to drop as well.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Lad that's another one i'd try for. I mean, he's
wide receiver nine in points per game since week five, like,
he's been really good if you can try for that,
But yeah, I would. I would try McMillan and Sutton
and see what you can get. For those who don't
bother with Shaki, you're not gonna that's not gonna make
a difference. Would you sell high on a Lave and
also would you buy low on Diggs? Yes?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
And yes, I guess I didn't think that Diggs was
a by low really because he caught a touchdown last week.
He also that touchdown Cats was sick. It is so
much fun watching Stefan Diggs be good again. Man. That
dude has been a monster for the Patriots this season.
So yeah, I think that o Lave. I think that
this is a really high ceiling game for him. But

(28:28):
when you have a rookie quarterback, we know the floor
can sid i'mes crumble, So I would definitely trade Alaba
for Diggs.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Two more here quickly ericson. Is d k a worthy
trade target?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yes, because they have a really good schedule rest of
season four wide receivers. He is the alpha in the
Steelers passing game, and over the last two weeks, I
know it's been frustrating, but I mean he's had opportunities
for touchdowns and big plays, but Rogers has dismissed them.
So I think that metchav eventually gets back into production.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Last one, give me a must have wide receiver for
the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Us to have wide receiver for the playoffs. Jalen Wattle,
jam walla program, folks.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I'm the hits, all right, JAILI Wattle. Let's stick with that.
We'll go ahead and wrap things up there. Thanks everybody
for tuning in again. Let next week if you have
specific trade questions. Is the last week to get them in.
As last week we'll have this iteration of the show.
We will still have the show going forward after that.
It'll just look a little bit differently post the fantasy
trade deadline, so be sure to get those questions in
ahead of next week. For ericson, I'm Ryan warmly. Best

(29:28):
