Player analysis
Player insights
Blake Corum
PositiveUsage21:20
The source notes that on a weekly basis over recent weeks, Blake Corum's production warranted starting him over Tony Pollard, indicating Corum has been outperforming Pollard in actual usage and output despite being a backup in theory.
Insight pageBrian Thomas Jr.
NegativeValue14:15
Brian Thomas Jr. is a hold, add, or buy depending on league depth; he is barely over 50% rostered in Yahoo and his price is extremely bottomed out, making him low-risk to acquire even in deeper leagues. Two scenarios present upside: (1) he could be traded to a contending team with a top quarterback and clear WR hold (e.g., San Francisco, which the source prefers given Mike Evans' Achilles injury concerns), which would significantly jump his value; (2) if he stays with Jacksonville, the Jags' rest-of-season schedule is a cakewalk with layup matchups, making him at worst a low-flex option with games that are layups or have extremely high point totals. Liam Cohen stated Thomas Jr. will help this week and be involved. Rest of season he is ranked WR64, completely buried, but the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade provides a baseline for potential compensation.
Insight pageChase Brown
PositiveValue1:02
Chase Brown is an RB1 who is underperforming; while he has draft capital, name recognition, and the Cincinnati offense with Joe Burrow plus receiving upside, his value does not dip low enough to be a genuine buy-low because managers still respect his pedigree. Even when packaging him in trades, managers are often overpaying for his underperformance. He could be offered as a low-ball trade piece to acquire Chris Olave, as both have decreased perception but high paper value.
Insight pageChris Olave
PositiveValue9:00
Olave is a buy-low candidate; he had an extremely hot start with 10-13 targets in each of the first four games (Detroit, Baltimore with Lamar Jackson, Vegas, Atlanta) when Tyler Shutt threw 34-56 attempts per game. His recent three disappointing games by his standards (Minnesota, Giants floor of 14 PPR points, Pittsburgh with 10 targets but inefficient) do not warrant panic; the Saints' rest-of-season schedule is not extremely difficult, and Olave remains the wide receiver one. He is ranked WR7 rest of season in consensus rankings but is likely undervalued by fantasy managers due to fear of Jordan Tyson's looming return. Put in a lowball offer rather than an aggressive bid.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
NegativeValue3:55
DJ Moore is a realistic trade target to acquire Judkins; he remains the wide receiver one of his offense with decent value, though lingering injury concerns exist. Moore can be traded away if a manager has been getting by without him or has waiver pickups at the position.
Insight pageJordyn Tyson
NegativeDepth Chart9:00
Jordan Tyson is expected to return soon from a hamstring issue, which is depressing Chris Olave's value as managers worry about target share dilution. However, Tyson's return is not a guaranteed negative for Olave given the Saints' favorable rest-of-season schedule.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
NegativeValue3:16
Among healthy running backs in the mid-tier range (Jacobs, Judkins, Gordon), Jacobs ranks highest rest of season despite lingering injury risk; the source prefers Jacobs apples-to-apples due to his offense, then Judkins, then Gordon.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
PositiveValue5:30
Jefferson is a buy-low candidate; now is the perfect time to put in a lowball offer on him. Despite Kyler Murray's limitations (has not surpassed 250 passing yards, high of 247 against Miami), the Vikings' upcoming schedule is extremely favorable: Detroit, Buffalo, Green Bay, San Francisco, Atlanta, Carolina, New England, Washington, and New York Jets. These matchups will force aggressive pass volume compared to recent layup games, pushing game totals well above the 20-40 point range the Cardinals have been playing in, which should unlock Jefferson's upside.
Insight pageKyler Murray
NegativeProjection5:30
Kyler Murray has not surpassed 250 passing yards this season, with a high of 247 against Miami; he has faced mostly layup matchups with the exception of Tampa Bay, and the Cardinals have been able to lean on the run and rely on their defense rather than force aggressive pass volume. This limits Jefferson's volume despite the Vikings' strong record.
Insight pageMarvin Harrison Jr.
NegativeValue15:45
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade provides a pricing baseline for Brian Thomas Jr.; Harrison Jr. had higher draft capital, but Thomas Jr. has far more proven upside given his rookie season, so the Jaguars are probably looking to match that compensation at a bare minimum.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeInjury17:30
Mike Evans suffered an Achilles injury, creating uncertainty about his availability rest of season. The source is skeptical of the Achilles situation and believes San Francisco needs to make a move to acquire a wide receiver one long-term rather than hoping Evans' injury does not plague him rest of season.
Insight pageOllie Gordon II
PositiveValue4:08
Gordon is a buy candidate because he continues to produce but his name value and Dolphins context weigh down his market value; he could have been discussed as a buy-low target similar to Judkins given his consistent production and depressed perception.
Insight pageRashee Rice
NegativeValue5:05
Rashee Rice is a potential trade piece to acquire Judkins; he is a solid wide receiver two with decent value but is dealing with a variety of injuries and issues that depress his market value, making him a realistic swap candidate.
Insight pageTony Pollard
NegativeValue18:10
Sell high on Tony Pollard after his massive Week 7 game (25 carries, 100 yards, 3 touchdowns); he is not a destitute running back but plays for a destitute team (Tennessee). He has been floated in trade deadline discussions multiple times but Tennessee has held steady. This ceiling game is probably the best performance managers will see from him rest of season. He has a bye in Week 9, so selling before Week 8 allows buyers to get use out of him. While he is a lead back with at least 14 carries in every game except Week 1, the upcoming schedule (Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Dallas, Jacksonville again) features teams Tennessee should not be competitive with, making this an ideal sell-high window.
Insight pageNegativeValue20:45
The source discusses trading Tony Pollard for high-end handcuffs with standalone value rather than upside running backs ranked behind him (Manungai, Okoram, Jonah Coleman). The reasoning: on a weekly basis prior to recent injuries, Blake Corum's production warranted starting him over Pollard, suggesting Pollard's standalone value may not justify his starting running back status and could be better deployed in a trade for a backup with dual-role upside.

Episode Transcript
0:00This is an iHeartPodcasts. Guaranteed Human. Guarno. Hello, everybody.
0:03Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Podcast. I'm Ryan Warmly, joined by Tara Roberts.
0:07We are talking five moves to make before Week 8, almost at the halfway point of the season here.
0:13Tara, how are you feeling after Week 7? Good Week 7, yeah.
0:17Survived JSN. I had to reach out to the Fantasy Gods and pray, but it happened.
0:22Like, hey, just a miracle in itself. I don't know how, but yeah.
0:26Survived a survivor pool. So yeah, it was overall, it could have been a lot worse.
0:31Yeah. A week of surviving. Yes. We can relate to that one.
0:35Reminder for everybody that all of our weekly consensus rankings and tiers can be found at FantasyPros.com slash rankings.
0:41You can navigate from there to the rest of season consensus rankings.
0:44If I give a ranking on the show today, that's what I'm referring to is the updated rest of season rankings.
0:51And I've intentionally only selected experts who have updated since this morning.
0:55So we have the most up-to-date guys who have seen what happened in Week 7 and where they are ranking players rest of season.
1:02Tara, let's start out with a bye. Yes, we are going to buy Quinch on Judkins.
1:07Yeah. After the big game, you know, it doesn't, doesn't always have to be a buy low because his value is still extremely low.
1:15And because running backs are scarce. Like one of the most common questions that I get is specifically about trading running backs.
1:22And one of the most common names that I get is a guy like Chase Brown, an RB1 who's underperforming.
1:28People want to buy low, hope that, you know, things are going to turn around.
1:33They're going to figure it out. But the problem with a guy like Chase Brown is that because he has that, that draft capital where everyone drafted him.
1:42He's got the name tag. He's got the Cincinnati offense associated with him and Joe Burrow.
1:47He's got the receiving upside. There's so many positives that his value doesn't actually really dip down to where it's a genuine
1:54buy low, which means that you, even if you're packaging, right, you're often technically from what I'm seeing, you're overpaying for someone who is significantly underperforming.
2:02Instead, you could look at guys that are a little bit lower valued and there's several options.
2:07But one that I think is really interesting is Quenchon Judkins because he's very reasonably priced, low perception because of the, you
2:14know, his team, unfortunately, has Deshaun Watson and lack of star power in that end, general skepticism.
2:20And that's literally just the only ups issue. And the fact that he also doesn't have that perceived receiving upside of a guy like Chase Brown.
2:28So he's more than capable of doing it. And then you add in the double whammy of Dylan Sampson coming back that
2:35just decreases the value even more, despite the fact that he is coming off of a fantastic game.
2:41But I feel very good about what I saw from the Browns in general, despite the fact that Deshaun Watson was still Deshaun Watson.
2:48They remained, you know, aggressive on the ground, successful on the ground.
2:52The line held up well. Samson did his thing and adding in value.
2:56He looked good. He had receptions. And despite all of that, we still had Judkins scoring more than 20 fantasy points.
3:03So take advantage of the weird skepticism around him and the perception of the Browns offense and grab what is probably the
3:10lowest cost, one of the lowest costs RB ones that you can get and plug in and feel comfortable now that the
3:16Browns are kind of on track as a solid RB two that gives you upside on a weekly basis.
3:22How would you rank rest of season these three running backs?
3:26Quinshawn Judkins, Josh Jacobs, Ollie Gordon. What's the order in which you prefer to have those guys?
3:31Because there's some other names sprinkled in between them in the rest of season rankings.
3:36But a lot of those names are guys who are dealing with injuries right now.
3:41So amongst the healthy guys in this range, how would you rank those three?
3:45I do have I do have Jacobs higher. I am.
3:48There's that the caveat of just like the the risk that lingers out there.
3:53But apples to apples, just because of the offense, I would lean towards Jacobs.
3:57Even if you're taking on the risk, then I would have Quinshawn Judkins and then Ollie Gordon.
4:02But Ollie Gordon is also one of those guys that I think is a fine offer as well.
4:08So they're kind of in that same bucket for me.
4:11Yeah, Gordon to me feels like somebody that could have been a name you discussed here as somebody to go out and
4:18buy him because all he keeps doing is producing.
4:21And it like I don't think the name value and just the dolphins of it all.
4:26I think that's going to weigh down his his value here.
4:30At least it still is right now. So, yeah, I think he's he's another one there.
4:35Any receivers come to mind as a receiver you would trade to get Judkins?
4:39Yes, the big one for me is DJ Moore.
4:42Obviously, we don't have a you know, the lingering injury things are kind of an issue with him.
4:48But at the end of the day, he is still the wide receiver one of that offense.
4:53So he still has pretty decent value. That's a realistic one that you could trade because you've been getting by without him.
5:00And maybe you need a running back and you drafted while at wide receiver and you're OK.
5:05Maybe you picked up guys off waivers. That's an interesting one.
5:09And then maybe a Rishi Rice as well. Kind of taking advantage of these guys that are, you know, solid wide receiver
5:16twos and value, but are dealing with the wide variety of injuries and issues that are kind of holding them back.
5:22So you can make that swap because Judkins has a lower value.
5:26Hit me with a wide receiver that you're looking to buy.
5:30I am looking to buy Justin Jefferson. I know this one comes with some skepticism, right?
5:35But I think it's the perfect time to put in a low ball offer on him.
5:40I don't trust Kyler Murray in any way, shape or form.
5:43This is not an endorsement of him. So we can put that off to the side.
5:48It's very funny. Just it's completely irrelevant of, you know, the Vikings are thriving.
5:53It has nothing to do with Kyler Murray, right?
5:55Has not surpassed 250 yards high was 247 against Miami.
5:59I mean, he's had a whole bunch of layup matchups as well, with the exception of Tampa Bay.
6:04But now that we got all the negatives out there and why this is not an endorsement of Kyler Murray, this is purely about the schedule.
6:12So moving forward, Detroit, Buffalo, Green Bay, San Francisco, Atlanta, Carolina, New England, right?
6:17And then Detroit for the start of the fantasy playoffs, Washington and then the New York Jets.
6:22There are a couple of, you know, hiccups in there.
6:25But the hiccups are teams that will at the very least force aggressive pass volume, more aggressive than what it has been.
6:32Because the problem is, is they've been in these weird kind of layup matchups to where with the exception of week one
6:39against Green Bay, which, you know, Kyler Murray wasn't there for that one.
6:43They've been in these scenarios where they're not playing teams that can necessarily consistently push aggressive volume against them.
6:49So it makes it so that they can lean on the run, rely on their defense.
6:54They don't have to really force the issue with Kyler Murray.
6:58When you get into matchups with teams like Detroit, New England, they're going to force the issue.
7:03San Francisco, hopefully by then they've got Mike Evans back.
7:06But, you know, they'll force the issue on that end.
7:09And so we can look for higher pass volume.
7:12So overall, positive schedule. We feel good about it.
7:15A guy that faces beatable defenses and can push these games from being in the 20 to 40 point total range.
7:22That's the issue. These games that they've been playing are in the 20 to 40 point total range.
7:27These games coming up in the schedule, it's going to push far above that so we can finally get into these high volume matchups.
7:35Do you feel like we had a very short conversation on this with Debro on the tailgate this morning?
7:41Do you feel like Justin Jefferson has taken a step back personally?
7:45Or do you think that his lack of production is entirely driven by the frustrating quarterback and offensive environment that he's been in right now?
7:53Because, I mean, like you go going back to the Vikings at a week six by in 2025.
7:58Going back to that bye week last year, he has one game with over 100 receiving yards and it was 101.
8:05He barely got there. It was week 18 of last year.
8:08So it didn't even help in fantasy. So like it is a really long stretch of like not reaching this mark that
8:15like we think of him as being very capable of hitting in any given game.
8:20Do you feel like he is taking any sort of step back or is this all about the quarterback?
8:26No, I think it's all about the quarterback. And it's unfortunate because, you know, you know that some of these quarterbacks have capabilities like take J.J.
8:34McCarthy. We see him now delivering plenty of, you know, volume to Malik neighbors.
8:39And you wonder, OK, why why did that not happen with Justin Jefferson?
8:43But going back to memory and looking at that, I mean, it wasn't as if there were it was very strange.
8:49Like he legitimately could not hit Justin Jefferson. It wasn't as if Jefferson was dropping anything or frustrated.
8:55So I don't think it kind of teeters towards the George Pickens ends of, you know, frustration and you start to slack off a little bit.
9:03And there's issues that are really more so on your end.
9:07No offense to George Pickens, but we know that does happen from time to time.
9:12I think it's just a weird coincidence of the quarterback situation, game situations.
9:16And then again, having such a good defense that they don't have to necessarily pass aggressively.
9:21You've got another big name receiver on the list here.
9:24Yeah, we're kind of hitting that kind of mid range guys that are theoretically still holding decent value.
9:29But once you start to put out offers, you'll you'll notice that it's not as high as it is on paper.
9:36Chris Olave is one of those guys. The Saints are on a bye.
9:40Olave has had three disappointing games by his standards after the extremely hot start.
9:45Now's the perfect time to swoop in and just snag him at low cost because we've got that fear of what everyone is saying.
9:52And, you know, hey, I'm saying it, too, right?
9:55Right. Jordan Tyson, he's coming. He'll be he'll be back soon.
9:58Hopefully he'll be able to stay on the field and hamstring issue free.
10:03But that only adds to depressing the value of people that are getting concerned and want to get out of this with Tyson's looming return.
10:10Wondering like, oh, my gosh, is Chris Olave going to disappear?
10:14Is Tyler Shutt going to hold up? Right. But when you look at the schedule and the hot start versus how he's cooled off, it does make sense.
10:23Right. He had between 10 to 13 targets in each of the first four games.
10:28Those games were Detroit, Baltimore with Lamar Jackson. That's key.
10:31Vegas and Atlanta. All of those matchups had Tyler Shutt throwing between 34 to 56 attempts.
10:36Right. The first poor performance that Chris Olave had was against Minnesota.
10:39Completely understandable. We write that off. The Giants game wasn't a poor performance.
10:44It was just a floor game of 14 fantasy points in PPR.
10:47And then he had 10 targets against Pittsburgh. So not a particularly efficient day.
10:52None of these games to me scream panic mode.
10:55I know on the surface after the way that we started and we're thinking, good God, this is the league winning stack.
11:02Tyler Shutt and Chris Olave. It can make you want to flip out and jump out and bail out immediately.
11:08But looking at the Saints schedule, they don't have an extremely difficult rest of season schedule.
11:13Olave is still the wide receiver one and he's probably one of the cheapest true wide receiver ones that you can snag at value.
11:20Rest of season, he is ranked as wide receiver seven in the consensus rankings.
11:25Yeah. But I'm kind of with you in that.
11:28I don't know that he's necessarily held in that level by his fantasy managers.
11:32I mean, in half PPR scoring, he has not been a wide receiver one since week two.
11:38Now he's been wide receiver 13 in one of these games.
11:41He's been 19, 20, 20, 45 against the Vikings.
11:44So it's not like he's been killing you. There's been a real floor there of top 20.
11:49But that ceiling has not been present since weeks one and two, which I think is noticed by his managers and does
11:56make him maybe a little more attainable. He's an interesting one.
12:00When you think about buying Chris Olave, he's somebody that you are like, I want to make an aggressive offer and make
12:07sure I go out and get him. And you can throw out some names as examples if you want.
12:13Or is he somebody where you're like, I want to see, I want to take the temperature of the Chris Olave manager
12:19in my league and see if he is maybe attainable at a little bit under value.
12:24Or are you like, listen, even if the manager is ranking him as wide receiver seven, I still want to go get him.
12:32Where's your head at with that? No, I think you take the temperature and you put in a low ball offer because,
12:39again, wide receiver seven is the respect that we're giving him.
12:42That is not reflective of the panic level that people are having in terms of his production, right?
12:48Especially because of the hype around what Jordan Tyson could be and how that kind of affected his ADP once we, you
12:55know, felt comfortable with thinking that Tyson was going to be healthy before the injury came preseason.
13:00So, yeah, I don't think that you have to shoot that high, make an aggressive offer to make sure that you get him.
13:07I think that you can come in there with a low ball offer to try and get him.
13:13You know, it's funny if you were looking at maybe swapping positions wise, you know, a low ball offer to me.
13:20And I think this is actually one that kind of would be on par in terms of value would actually be offering a Chase Brown.
13:28He's also got that decreased perception, but he also still has that high value.
13:32So if you wanted to maybe get out of that situation, if you've got solid options at running back and buy in
13:39on Chris Olave, I think that's the direction you could go.

14:04That's fantasypros.com slash markets. Tara, who's the next player you want to talk about?
14:09This is a fun one. I've been waiting to do a little one that's not a buy or sell.
14:15This is a hold, add, and or buy for Brian Thomas Jr.
14:18Because he is literally just right under 50% rostered in Yahoo League.
14:22So depending on the depth of your league, you could have him.
14:26He could be on waivers. It could be someone that you could potentially trade for.
14:31So there's a wide variety of directions that you could go here.
14:34But I do want to have him on roster because the writing on the wall is very clear with Brian Thomas Jr.
14:41And it's going to go one of two ways, neither of which is particularly risky, in my opinion, given how extremely bottomed out his prices.
14:49Guys, he barely is holding on to value. Like, people were very quick to dropkick him onto waivers in a lot of shallow leagues.
14:57So, I mean, really and truly, to acquire him, it's not as if you have to do anything special, even in deeper leagues.
15:04There are multiple contending teams with top quarterbacks that have clear holds at wide receiver.
15:09And Brian Thomas Jr.'s value would jump significantly if he landed with any of them.
15:14And I know the Jags, it's funny, Liam Cohen came out and said that Brian Thomas Jr.
15:19is going to help us out this week. A lot of positive things.
15:23We're going to get him involved. Yeah, it's interesting that they said that after he played to a snap count that was
15:30reduced in week six to around 20%, which is that big red flag of, okay, he's pulled from the game because they
15:37don't want him to get hurt because of the trade value.
15:40It's possible, though, that Liam Cohen is saying those things because the price isn't quite right.
15:45Because we do have a very clear baseline in pricing with the Marvin Harrison Jr.
15:50trade. He had higher draft capital, but Brian Thomas Jr.
15:53has far more proven upside given his rookie season.
15:56So the Jags are probably looking to match that at a bare minimum.
16:00So if they can't get the compensation that's right for them, maybe they're just not interested because they're a contender and they can ultimately use Brian Thomas Jr.
16:09I find it hard to believe that if the trade doesn't happen that rest of season, they're just going to sit him
16:16and he's just not going to be involved. He'd just be in the mix with Jacoby Myers.
16:21And what makes it a not so risky situation of if he stays with Jacksonville is that the Jags rest of season schedule is quite literally a cakewalk.
16:30Layup matchup after layup matchup. We knew this was heading into the season.
16:34We knew that there was probably no way that Brian Thomas Jr.
16:38was going to have any level of upside before the Jags bye week because it was just so aggressively tilted with difficult matchups and difficult quarterback matchups.
16:47Rest of season, worst case scenario, if he stays with the Jags, it would be a low inflex option with games that
16:53are layups or at least the tougher ones would at least have higher, extremely high point totals because they play good offenses.
17:00So, yeah, put it out there, guys. If he is available, grab him.
17:05Just see what happens. Trade could happen, could come in a good situation.
17:09And if not, what was really the risk? Because you're not trading anything special to get him.
17:14Wide receiver 64 in rest of season ranking. So, completely just, you know, buried in the rankings.
17:19Is there a preferred spot for you to see him go?
17:23I would love to see San Francisco. I do know that San Francisco is not opposed to just pushing through and trying
17:30to figure out how to make it work with the little pieces that they have.
17:34But, I mean, the fact that they were rolling out there and lost, that probably is a kicker in terms of making
17:41them maybe make that move versus the traditional, like, oh, we're just going to stand pat.
17:46And maybe we try and, you know, make a low-end trade or add somebody off a practice squad or something.
17:53So, maybe that's the one because I'm really skeptical of this Achilles situation with Mike Evans.
17:58So, they need to do something to have a wide receiver one long term because it's extremely risky for them to roll
18:05forward hoping that this is not a issue that is going to plague Mike Evans rest of season.
18:10You've got a player to sell for us, Tara, coming off of a massive game.
18:15I do. We're going to do the traditional sell high on Tony Pollard because if you have him, I would hope that
18:22you haven't had to been relying on him as a starter this season.
18:26And this is a nice opportunity just to target managers that are dealing with injuries or bye weeks and sell him off
18:33after, you know, 25 carries, hefty workload, 100 yards, three touchdowns.
18:37He does this from time to time. He's not a destitute running back, right?
18:41He's just on a destitute team, which is why we have, you know, repeatedly hoped that he would, you know, trade deadline after trade deadline.
18:49How many times has he been floated out? Yeah.
18:52It could be Tony Pollard. He could be on the move.
18:55And yet, Tennessee just kind of holds steady on that.
18:58And maybe this is the year. But if, you know, if you want to hold and see what happens, that's perfectly fine.
19:05You don't have to make an aggressive move. But it's worth putting out there because he is a solid back.
19:12And under the right circumstances, you can make the argument for why these outlier performances keep happening, right?
19:17Ironically, it happened against Cleveland last year as well.
19:20So I wonder if maybe that's true. Maybe there's something to that, you know, that orange and brown that makes him feel good.
19:27I don't know. But I find it hard to believe this level of performance is going to be repeating on a weekly basis.
19:35He just pops off from time to time, often in the back half of the season, right?
19:40And this performance was really probably the best that we are going to see out of him.
19:45So if there's a sell-high opportunity, especially with injuries plaguing the running back room, this is it right here.
19:51He has a bye week coming up in week nine.
19:54So, hey, if you can find someone that can get use out of him in week eight, you can avoid that bye week as well.
20:02And by any means, you know, again, this is not a must-sell, must-sell kind of situation because he is a lead back.
20:09He's had at least 14 carries in every single game this season except for week one.
20:14But, again, that kind of hammers home the point of why, like, maybe we should sell on this.
20:20He has been a lead back the whole time.
20:23And we're just now seeing the ceiling game. Tennessee is a bad team.
20:27The upcoming schedule is full of teams that they should not theoretically be competitive with.
20:32Cincinnati, Jacksonville, who knows with Dallas, but Jacksonville again and then up and down after that.
20:37So seeing, you know, putting your feelers out there, seeing what you can get potentially for him in terms of some people having positive sentiments around him.
20:45Would you trade him for one of these upside running backs like, you know, Manungai or Okoram or Jonah Coleman?
20:52Those guys are all ranked behind him in the rest of the season rankings.
20:56Any of them you'd be interested in? I would.
20:59I thought about that one as well because, you know, you could aim high and try and get something.
21:05But realistically, when it comes to Tony Pollard, the flip is probably going to have to be for one of these high-end handcuffs with standalone value.
21:13Like, and if you think about it, if it troubles you to think about why would I trade a starting running back
21:20for a guy that's a backup running back in theory, think about it on a weekly basis over the past several weeks.
21:27Exclude this week when all the running backs went out and we say, OK, now he's a safe start.
21:33Prior to that, if you're looking at your roster, were you picking Tony Pollard or were you picking Blake Corum?
21:39Yeah, you might have been picking Blake Corum on that one and the production would have warranted it.
21:45So, yeah, I could make that flip for one of the higher-end guys for sure.
21:50All right. We'll wrap things up there. Thanks, everybody, for checking out the five moves to make before week eight.
