1:28I haven't talked to you in a full 24 hours.
1:31We were not on the tailgate together. You had other abos.
1:35But we're back. We're back, buddy. What's up? Yeah, I was on the live Daily Juice stream with Matt Peralt breaking down
1:41that absolute barn burner of a Patriots-Bears game. Dude, A.J.
1:44Brown, man. That guy could not hatch more yards, score more touchdowns than he did on Thursday night.
1:50It was amazing. You're breaking your own rule. You're like dipping into the Thursday.
1:54No, I just know that he went off last night.
1:57He did. Yeah, he wasn't going to. There's no going to.
2:01There's only he did, right? Yes. Dang right. That's right.
2:04Ogun to existence. That's right. All right, we got the audience.
2:07We got everybody hanging here. Questions are going to come from your guys' voices and the raised hands.
2:13So we're going to jump right into it, see what you guys got.
2:16Who's first up? Look at this. It's our dear friend, Chinzer.
2:20Chinzer, first up on this week's Extra Point, what is up, my fellow Hollow Knight?
2:24I've got a trade that's an absolute smash accept, and I need you to straighten me out on why I should be getting cold feet.
2:32So it's a 14-team, half PPR. I'm giving up Kraft, Ollie Gordon, and Charbonnet, and I'm giving back Rashad White and Brock Bowers.
2:39So wait, you're giving up Kraft? Who and who?
2:42Kraft, Ollie Gordon, and Charbonnet for Bowers and Rashad White.
2:45Yeah, why aren't you smashing buttons? Should I? I'm only scared because, like, Brock Bowers is always injured, and he's looked good,
2:52and he's always on the injury report, and this new calf and hamstring thing popped up yesterday that's probably just scheduled rest.
2:58His Kraft is always so healthy. That's a good point.
3:01It is. It is a great point. And I just gave up A.J.
3:05Brown last week, and I'm like, oh, he's – I don't want to say that.
3:10I gave up this one guy that's looking good and getting a lot of targets, and I'm like, I just – Okay,
3:17Eric, so what do you think about this? What's Chinzer's problem?
3:20Should he smash accept and just not worry about anything else?
3:23This is like the classic case of, like, this guy is going to do so well until I get him on my
3:30team, and then he's going to get hurt, right?
3:33Like, it's like, well, if I trade for Ken Walker now, like, that's the week he's going to – the touches are
3:39going to finally come to roost, and he's going to go down, right?
3:43Just make the trade. That's what everything's going to say.
3:46I have a trade. Analyzer's going to say to make the trade.
3:50We're going to say to make the trade. Nobody knows what's going to happen with Bowers and his calf knee injury thing.
3:57Obviously, he has an injury risk, but he also is, like, the best tight end in fantasy when he plays.
4:03And even if that's for, like, the next four weeks, that might justify this deal enough when these other players are not moving the needle, in my opinion.
4:11He's just so adamantly the best player in that.
4:14I mean, I guess, like, you're giving up – I mean, I can't imagine Ollie is a true RB2 to you.
4:20You lucked into that. Craft is fine. Like, I just can't imagine – you tell us, do those pieces mean – like,
4:27are they significant pieces to your offense? No. I mean, Rashad White will be a nice fill-in while I – I mean,
4:34RB2 is kind of a problem, but I've got Jordan Mason coming back, our boy, our buy high or buy low boy.
4:41I would have – extra caveat. I've got Bowers and Dynasty, so I do have early onset Bowers trauma.
4:46So that's the only reason I'm asking the question.
4:49No, just take one, accept the trade, and you'll feel better in the morning.
4:53Trust me. Just take one of those, and a Bowers a day will keep bad other trades away.
4:59So you're in good space here. I guess I get the hesitation.
5:03There's some depth, but it's like, Sharbs is limited.
5:05Ali's fine. Craft is fine. And then you're getting an elite play.
5:09By the way, Rashad White is probably the best running back in that deal too, now that Ja'Cory Kroski merits out, right?
5:16Yeah. So I think that he's a nice little bonus.
5:19I just think that if you can get a needle mover, you do that.
5:23Because when it comes down to it, I don't have to look at a lot of my fans' teams to know which
5:30ones are good and which ones are not. I have Ken Walker on them.
5:34Like, I don't need to look at the rest of the team.
5:38Because that's what really matters. It's like, really like, a handful of guys really move the needle, and everyone else is just
5:44kind of like putting up middling production that, again, your guy versus my guy, it's really more of a toss-up.
5:50But Brock Bowers is one of those guys where a dude can win you weeks and be a major advantage.
5:56So I think that anytime you can acquire those types of players for, again, like, we like those players.
6:02Like, we like Kraft. We like, like, but no.
6:05I think you've got to make the deal and then just deal with whatever the complications are.
6:10If he gets banged up again, just deal with it later.
6:14Yeah. And Kraft is no healthier. So. Oro, premium member on the Fantasy Pros Discord.
6:18I don't believe Oro's been on before. What's up, Oro?
6:21Oro. Hello? Microphone. New. Okay. Go and test your microphone.
6:24More like, ruh-roh. Ruh-roh. Ruh-roh. Hey. I could do a pretty good Scooby.
6:28Nothing? Go test your microphone and then re-raise your hand, and I will bring you right back up in line.
6:34You got that. That was a good reference there, Erickson.
6:37That was a good one. Frankie. Frankie Love. What's up?
6:40All right, guys. I got two questions real quick.
6:43In one league, I have a tough start. I have, like, right now I have Braylon Allen, but I think Brees Hall is probably coming back.
6:51So I have to make a decision. Do I start a Giants backfield member or go out there and possibly pick up
6:58somebody like Gainwell or somebody on waivers? But I'm not really feeling too great about that.
7:03So I was thinking about Tracy or Scadaboo, unless right with Braylon Allen as the backup.
7:07And then my next question would be, would you drop Jacoby Lane and pick up Hawkinson to make your tight end two for bye week?
7:15Do you start two tight ends? No, no. Just before – right now I have Colston Lublin.
7:20But I just – the Bears, I think, is week 10, if I'm mistaken.
7:24But I just seen Hawkinson out there. Nobody picked them up.
7:28They dropped them a couple weeks ago. And I like – I'm deep at receiver.
7:32My worst receiver probably would be, like, Mike Evans that's banged up and then burdened.
7:37I mean, I'm stacked with, you know, Washington, Alave, and London.
7:40Okay. Stacked with glorious purpose. I'm indifferent about the – I don't, like, think I would be picking up Hawkinson in preparation for a bye week.
7:48I don't think he's that good. I think you could roll out guys like Darnell Washington and stuff.
7:54Jacoby Lane's got more upsides. Do you agree? Yeah.
7:56I mean, Bears bye week, he said, wasn't until week 10.
8:00So there's a lot of stuff that can change over that time where tight end could emerge.
8:05I guess for me it's like do you want to just sit on Hawkinson for three weeks just because you're like –
8:12because by the time that week 10 comes along, there might be a better tight end option that just jumps out that particular week.
8:19So I agree. He doesn't – again, I hate to keep saying this phrase.
8:23He doesn't move the needle enough for me to waste a roster spot.
8:27Waste a roster spot on Hawkinson. Bro. Especially with a guy like Lane.
8:31Lane's got some upsides, especially if Lamar comes back.
8:34We'll see what ends up happening there. The running back thing, Braylon – I don't think Braylon is going to be active at this point.
8:42We practiced for the first time today, I believe, on Thursday.
8:45We're recording this. But that doesn't mean he's going to play.
8:48So I would just play Braylon Allen anyway. Okay.
8:51So if Brees Hall does play, I'm pivoting to Cam.
8:54And that was really important when he said the Giants backfield.
8:57I was like, well, which ones? Because I'm not interested in Singletary and Tracy.
9:02I think Cam is going to – I'm saying this on every show, so this is a problem now.
9:07But I think Cam is going to come out of the doghouse, and Harbaugh is going to kind of be with him
9:14in that, like, hey, you know, he took accountability, and he said it was his fault and all that.
9:20I think we're going to go back to Cam.
9:23So I would say if Brees is active, I'm starting Cam Scadaboo.
9:26If Brees is not, then he ain't got no worries.
9:29It's Braylon Allen. But you're starting Braylon no matter what.
9:32Yeah, because Braylon's still going to get his touches.
9:35So – and he's facing the Miami Dolphins. I mean, the thing with Scadaboo that I don't think you're wrong about, the
9:42only thing that concerns me is he could get 15 carries for 50 yards and still be a bad pick, right?
9:48It's true. Like, he's been an RB3 most of the season, even when he's been the lead ball carrier for a Giants run game that's been lackluster.
9:57And he's facing the Texans on the road. Like, that sucks.
10:00Texas' D-line hasn't been as good. I mean, it sucks as a general, but their D-line hasn't been as good.
10:06I don't know. Like, getting Najee out, like, to me, that's a guy that could be – they take away one of the annoying dudes.
10:14The annoying guys that could come in on, like, a short goal line situation.
10:18But they just brought Singletary back in, too, though.
10:21Yeah, but he's annoying on, like, long drive stuff.
10:23Tracy scored twice last week. I don't think – I don't think anything from last week suggests that they're going to do less Tyrone Tracy.
10:31Yeah, that's true. Like, he played, like – I mean, among all the running backs, he played the best.
10:37So, I just – yeah. It's fair. Again, I think you're right about him bouncing back.
10:42But to the extent of, like – he was an RB3 this week, like, which technically is a bounce back from last
10:48week, which he was a total zero. Yeah. So, and I guess, like, for me, it's like, I want to see Brees
10:55Hall like prove it to me and be, like, that he's good to go and, like, healthy versus, like – I mean,
11:02Braylon Allen, dude, like, he's been balling out, right?
11:04Just Brees coming in is a problem. That's all.
11:07But I get why you want to stick with him because it's like, why are they going to go away from Brees
11:14immediately and not – he's going to get some touches, and if those touches are the same as Scadaboo at this point, I probably would.
11:22It's a great matchup for the Jets, too. Yeah, I mean, I don't think – I don't think it's crazy to think
11:28that the Braylon Allen and Cam Scadaboo could have similar workloads.
11:32Even if Scadaboo is the RB1 in his backfield and Allen is behind Brees because they like to run the football between those two guys.
11:39You're selling me on – You're selling me on Braylon being more viable with Brees there, too.
11:44I'm still Cam, but it's a good sell. Yeah.
11:47That's a good job. All right. That's a good problem to have.
11:51Hopefully Brees just doesn't play, and then it's easy.
11:54I brought a Boston. I forgot to bring up Oro.
11:57Oro, you're next. Austin, what's up, dude? Hey, what's up?
12:00So I have Trevor Lawrence on bye this week, and I'm looking for a replacement at quarterback.
12:05Would you guys go with Kirk Cousins or Gino?
12:08Gino. Ooh, I love Gino this week. Dolphins. Gino.
12:10Chef's going to cook. Cook. Garrett Wilson. Gino. Gino.
12:13Yeah, I'm in. I'm Gino. Gino for both of us.
12:16Oro, how are we doing now? Hey. Can you guys hear me now?
12:20Yeah, we got you. Yes. Awesome. Thanks, guys. So I'm in a 12-team full PPR, and I have this trade that someone
12:27sent me that I have just been thinking about for the past day now.
12:31So for context, I have James Cook. I have Brees Hall, Braylon Allen, DeAndre Swift, and Woody Marks as my running backs.
12:38And then I have CeeDee Lamb, Christian Watson, and Chris Olave for my wide receiver group.
12:43Should I trade away CeeDee Lamb and DeAndre Swift for Puka Nakua and Jeremiah Love?
12:47What do you guys think about that? Oh, that's like a version of what we've been talking about.
12:53We've been talking about that decently enough, where it's like love and this great player.
12:57So you upgrade from CeeDee to Puka, which is, you know, it's enough.
13:01It's not nothing, but it's definitely an upgrade. And then Swift for love.
13:05And it's clearly Swift is the better player. So do you like the upgrade of Lamb to Puka and the sacrifice of Swift?
13:12What do you think? I think so. I think you're getting the best player in the deal.
13:17Puka could feasibly outscore everybody the rest of the way without Adams.
13:21Like that is in his range of outcomes. Yeah.
13:24So if you can get that player, obviously you're giving up a lot, but you're getting a really strong return.
13:30And Jeremiah Love's kind of like the wild card, right?
13:33Not going to do much for you right now in the short term, but what we've seen from rookie running backs traditionally,
13:40especially guys drafted as high as him, they usually have strong finishes.
13:43So if they can get his ankle right, maybe you could see him pop off down the stretch.
13:49It seemed like he had pretty good depth too at a lot of his positions from when he was reading off his roster.
13:56Oh yeah. And it didn't seem like making Swift or me making Swift expendable was really that big of a deal.
14:02So I think that this is a win-win trade, honestly, because you're upgrading, consolidating to get the best player.
14:08That other manager is getting two good, good, strong starters with Lamb and Swift.
14:12So again, I know that people always ask us, who wins this trade?
14:16Which side do you want? Like, did I dominate this trade?
14:19The point of trades is for both teams to get better, right?
14:23Like that really should be the goal most often than not.
14:26So I think that this is a win-win and take the trade and get back to sleeping because you don't need to be stressed out about it anymore.
14:35Don't stress about trades. Like if you thought about for a day, it's like you've gone too far.
14:40Yeah. I mean, I get it though. I get it.
14:43We've all been there. We've been there. Think about trades overnight.
14:47You're ready to accept it. And you're like, oh, let me sleep on this.
14:51And then you're thinking about it. You go through every scenario of how like, and then the minute that you do that,
14:58it's like you get the report about Puka's sports journey.
15:01It's like, oh no, not again. Had I just waited for three more minutes.
15:05You ever had a play? You ever had a dream about a player that you were like in a trade or like some decision?
15:12Yes. I think I had a dream about Drake Megan's like when he played the Cardinals a couple of years ago, and
15:19then he was going to like throw for like 500 yards.
15:22So you wake up and then you just hammered on the BP show.
15:26You're like, yep. I didn't work out, but no, I guess it usually doesn't.
15:31All right. So I'm not, I'm not the prophecy.
15:33You're not going to follow your dreams. You're going to follow your dreams there.
15:38Uh, catalyst. What's up? Hi guys. Thanks for having me on.
15:41Um, I'm just trying to get a consensus as far as how to approach my RB room.
15:46So I just posted the situation in chat and it's getting really like stressful with, um, price injured, not living up to
15:53the route, the first round, um, like stock, uh, scats, like with the sit and then Brown also having like a rough start too.
16:00Okay. Um, so I'm sorry. So what's the, I see the frustration on there.
16:05Where, where are you? I mean, I think you have two locked in running backs.
16:09What were you looking for? Yeah. I was like curious as far as like, if I should consider, um, like getting an
16:16upgrade at the RB spot at the very least, like RB two, if Tutton can carry it as an RB one.
16:22So far I'm six. No, right now. Is this a redraft?
16:26Uh, this is a dynasty super flex. Okay. Yeah.
16:28That's important. Cause I was being like, who cares about price?
16:32What did price matter here? Well, now he matters.
16:34That's that's all that. Okay. So I'm sorry. So repeat.
16:37What, what was the thing about Tutton? So if I should upgrade, um, my RB two spot, if I'm going to try
16:44to ride a ton as the RB one for the team.
16:47Okay. What do you think about that? Erickson? I mean, that would probably involve like maybe moving a price, you know, underselling him a little bit.
16:55Like, I mean, obviously you want to do it, but do you think it's like feasible to do?
17:01I think I would just hold. He said he's what six and all.
17:05I know it's a lot of it's cause he's 12th in points against.
17:09So he's gotten lucky with the schedule and you love chase Brown right now too.
17:13To buy. It just, yeah. I, I think the best is yet to come.
17:18I mean, how good is Jamar Chaseman this year?
17:20I don't think he's been like spectacular at all.
17:23And, but this is, this is typical Bengals. Is it not where they always start the season kind of like me?
17:30Like they're not that good. And then we were all like, Oh, like why did Jamar chase in the top three?
17:36And then he, and then he goes off for like 300 yards.
17:40And you're like, Oh yeah, that's why we do have to do our chase so high.
17:44So I, I still think chase Brown could be an RB one.
17:48I think that you got two top 15 running backs rest season with tootin and chase Brown.
17:53Yeah. So I think that's enough to get you there.
17:56Um, and I just don't see a scenario where scatted, I mean, you can't trade scatty right now.
18:02This is the worst time to trade him. Price is hurt.
18:05Kendra Miller is a nice stop gap as a flex play.
18:09So I think you got enough running backs here to, to work with obviously like, and I don't think there's any way you can get, especially in dynasty.
18:17Like you're not getting Bijan. You're not getting to get Gibbs.
18:20You're not getting Walker. Like, and those are the guys that are like really moving.
18:25I mean, maybe you want to go after McCaffrey, like Henry, buying in on Henry.
18:30Would you sacrifice a Gendarium price for one of those older backs?

20:28I think it matters if you are trying, I mean, if you're trying to go for it, then yeah, I think that's obvious.
20:35So, I mean, obviously Henry, even in, I know that Worm is a little bit lower on Henry rest of the season,
20:42but, I mean, he's going to outscore Jadarion Price.
20:45Like, that's not a hot take, and then that gives you three top 15 running backs at worst.
20:50So, maybe that's a deal you entertain. If you really want to go for it this year, then I think, yeah, dealing Price.
20:57I'm really curious what, like, your league would be willing to do.
21:01But, it feels very reactionary, though, to the start of the year, because Price, what, was a top five rookie dynasty pick?
21:08Would you trade a top five rookie dynasty pick for Derrick Henry straight up?
21:12Yeah, I mean, probably not. Like, probably not. But, given the context of if you're trying to make a run, like, maybe Derrick Henry's not the right target.
21:20Maybe, maybe Bucky Irving or something like that. I don't know.
21:24It's a little bit tougher because it's dynasty. Yeah, I don't know.
21:27It's dynasty context. Well, and also, I think he said it's like super flex and tight end premium.
21:33Like, all the positional stuff is kind of like all over the board.
21:37That makes that one tough. Yeah, I don't, I think, I think I would just hold, man.
21:42I mean, look, you bank the wins because you got the easy schedule.
21:46You're also fourth in points four. So, yeah, I don't, I don't think, I don't think you need to blow it up.
21:53I know, I feel like we always do this, right?
21:56We talk on five minutes about this team and what we should do.
22:00You know what? Nah. But, but, but I think that the, they appreciate it when we, or catalysts, again, don't want to
22:06put words in your mouth, but I feel like they appreciate when we at least try to unpack everything, look at every angle, be like, you know what?
22:15Log off. Like, like, I think we're good here.
22:18We don't try to, you and I definitely don't try to just give cookie cutter answers of like, yep, no, like when it deserves conversation, we do it.

23:10Jorge, Jorge the lefty, premium member on the discord.
23:12What's up, Jorge? Hey guys. Hey, Eric. And you already kind of answered my question in the AMA thread, but I just
23:19wanted to kind of expand upon it and give Chris a chance to respond as well.
23:24So I'm a five and one in a 12 man PPR league.
23:28I've got a ton of depth, but it's only a four man bench.
23:31So with Charbonnet and Tyson coming off IR, I'm going to have to make room for them.
23:37So I'm thinking of some two for one and three for two trades.
23:41So I'm pretty flush with RBs. Everyone else isn't.
23:43I've got Gibbs. I picked up Jacobs off waivers for free.
23:47I've got Stevenson, Scadabo, B. Allen, and then Sharbs and Coram.
23:50My wide receiver room needs a little help. I've got Flowers, JMO, and then Tyson coming off IR.
23:56This guy in my league approached me with two different offers.
23:59One was he'd give me Watson for Jacobs and Stevenson.
24:02And the other is he'd give me Garrett Wilson and Pickens for Jacobs, Stevenson, and JMO.
24:07Erickson, you said like you were kind of leaning towards one, but you didn't really love it.
24:12Given that I'm going to have to just dump players onto the waiver wire otherwise, because I've got guys coming off IR.
24:19Would you suggest taking these trades just to free up that or to take advantage of the depth?
24:24Or what would you suggest? I love that first one.
24:27What did you not like, Erickson? Which one did you not?
24:31You didn't like one of them or you didn't like the one?
24:34He said, you said you didn't love Watson for Jacobs and Stevenson, but you could deal with it.
24:40And then you weren't really a huge fan of the Garrett Wilson and Pickens in exchange for Jacobs, Stevenson, and JMO.
24:46Correct. That's how I felt. Oh, I love both of them.
24:49I mean, I know you're kind of selly on Watson right now.
24:53We've talked about that in a bunch of shows because you're worried, you know, they get a little bit more into like
25:00a run heavy side and they might start passing the ball as much.
25:04And I know that's been kind of your narrative in there.
25:07But any new thought? I mean, I got to tell you, I think both of those are in play for me.
25:14I mean, you lucked into Jacobs, which I will say it sounded like he had a bunch of running backs that like might not have jobs soon.
25:22But I just I'll do both of those trades.
25:24Yeah. And I think, too, and I don't know if I knew this when he first asked me.
25:30I didn't know he got Jacobs for like free.
25:33So I kind of like the idea of like.
25:35I mean, you just free roll like, OK, I pick this guy for nothing.
25:40And then I can get Christian Watson for him and Ramondre.
25:43That was the deal. I'm trying to see exactly what I said, because I want to make sure that I remember what I said.
25:50Yeah. So yes, Brandon Allen, who's going to see this is his only problem is.
25:55Yeah. No, I said I said I like the first deal.
25:58Sorry. Oh, yeah. I agree. Yeah. OK, so you and I agree.
26:02I mean, when you do trade, because what was the first one?
26:06It was Jacobs and Ramondre for Watson. Yeah. I mean, then he's going to have Scadaboo, Allen, Sharps and Quorum.
26:12So if we are being honest, you are going to like not have like a true RB2 after that.
26:18But I mean, I still just like the trade.
26:20There's still some concern around Jacobs. Like something can happen.
26:23I mean, season. Yeah. So again, like I like the first offer of the two that he off because I didn't I
26:30wasn't like over the moon about getting Garrett Wilson and like George Pickens and then trading away Antonio Williams or excuse me, Jameson Williams, Stevens and Jacobs.
26:38Because like Jacobs can be like literally an RB1 rest of the way.
26:42Right. And there's value to that. But. I guess because he picked him up for literally nothing to me, it's just like
26:49now I don't have to even sweat like what Jacobs does.
26:52It doesn't matter to me because he was a better player.
26:56I got literally for nothing. I'm freeing up a roster spot by getting Christian Watson.
27:00And then even Christian Watson doesn't live up to being wide receiver or whatever.
27:04Top three rest of the season. Like, I mean, he's still going to be a top 12 wide receiver when it's all said and done.
27:12I will. Got him for two waiver guys. Like.
27:15That's true. I will say I would love to attempt to try to package Jacobs with like a quorum and sharps instead of reminder.
27:22Just so I have like maybe a reminder. Scadaboo RV2 back and forth every single week because the guy's clearly buying Jacobs
27:29because he thinks Jacobs is going to be an RV1.
27:32So like I might attempt that. But at the end of the day, like I probably just don't pull the trigger just
27:39because like you're getting you're getting a great top end wide receiver.
27:42So yeah, it's fun trade. OK, that's one. You see those.
27:46All right. Yeah. And yeah. And I yeah. And I but I'm glad that we got your opinion, too.
27:51And you definitely like the first deal. So yeah, that's how I felt like.
27:56Oh, D. Tilly. What up? How's it going, guys?
27:58Good about you? Not too bad. I'm trying to figure out my running back situation because it's definitely a mess.
28:04So so I've got a canine and bashal tune.
28:07You know, and Tuttin's on on by. I'm rolling with Braylon this week.
28:11I'm hoping he gets. I mean, I know Brees is kind of coming back and I'm hoping Braylon still gets some touches
28:18even with Brees coming back because of how well he's played.
28:21But, you know, I definitely feel like I need depth at running back because after that, it's Tyrone Tracy.
28:27So, you know, if any of those two main guys go down, I'm definitely in a, you know, in a tough situation with running back.
28:35So my question is, I've got some guys on waiver wires that I'm looking at.
28:39I'm not sure who to drop, though. I just picked up Tyrone.
28:43I know, you know, that backfield situation is terrible, too.
28:46You know, so, you know, should I because I'm looking at like Jonah Coleman.
28:50I know he's fixing to come back. He did pretty well until he got hurt.
28:55But also kind of keeping an eye on that Indy situation.
28:58If JT gets traded, I'm kind of looking at Seth McGowan.
29:01I know he's kind of impressed some. So, you know, should I should I go ahead and try to stash those guys
29:08or just kind of keep an eye on them or that's kind of what I'm looking at?
29:13Because I need I kind of feel like I need help and trading is impossible in that league.
29:19So I think we're both I'm going to speak for Erickson here.
29:22We're going to stash Jonah Coleman. Like that's yeah, we're going to make that move.
29:27Yeah, I would rather have Jonah Coleman and Tyrone Tracy.
29:30Yeah, 100 percent. And I mean, I like Tracy, to be honest, might have my a little bit more standalone value to this week.
29:37But Braylon Allen is the better play regardless of what happens.
29:41So you start Braylon Allen. You dump Tracy. You pick up Jonah Coleman.
29:45I'll be honest with you, like anything could happen.
29:47I don't think Jonathan Taylor's getting traded. I think it's I think it's like wildly speculative.
29:52It's well below like the idea of Saquon Barkley getting traded.
29:56But I see where you're going with it. But I want to speculate on Coleman.
30:00Didn't Jonathan Taylor just sign a new contract? Yeah, it was like it was like last year, this year.
30:06It doesn't make a lot of sense for a team to pick up a older running back who just signed because then
30:13you get the new contract when you trade for him.
30:16I guess contenders always kind of do different things, but everybody ships out the best players when a team is like hurting and it's like, why?
30:24Like it's the same thing in fantasy and rebuilds in dynasty where people are like, well, I'm kind of struggling this year.
30:30And it's like, should I trade this guy? This it's like, no, don't trade your players that you want to build around, like trade the the ancillary pieces.
30:39I just don't see Jonathan Taylor going anywhere. I mean, you know, the new GM.
30:43Yeah, anything can happen. But I would value Coleman.
30:46The Seth McGowan shout, though, is good. He does deserve some flowers.
30:50Like I thought that he has looked good in his limited stint.
30:54And obviously he's assert himself as the RB to on that roster.
30:57JT also can get banged up. So McGowan, especially in dynasty leagues, if he's floating out there, because I know that.
31:04There's a potential in some of these shallower dynasty leagues, he might be out there.
31:08Make sure he's rostered. So Jonah Coleman now. Jonah Coleman.
31:11All right. Let's go to Joe. Premium member on the discord.
31:15What's up? What's up, Joe? No. There we go.
31:17Hey, what's up, guys? What up? Hey, so I have a full point PPR start and sit question and also some waiver questions.
31:24So the sit and start for full PPR for RB2.
31:27I'm looking at who should I start Aaron Jones or Woody Marks.
31:31And for full PPR, should I drop Kaelin Black or Emmitt Johnson for Rashad White?
31:36I have Kenneth Walker as RB1. So that's kind of like a handcuff.
31:40And then for half PPR, should I drop Marvin Harrison Jr.
31:43for Lad McConkie? Somebody dropped him. And should I drop Kenji Miller for Rashad White?
31:47Okay, hold on. You're gonna have to stay here.
31:50That's too many. My brain doesn't look like that.
31:53Marvin Harrison for Lad, yes. Right, Harrison? Yes. Drop Kendra Miller for Rashad White.
31:57Right? Okay, we're there. Now we got to go back to the first two.
32:01What was like the first two? It was start Woody Marks or Aaron Jones.
32:06I would start Woody Marks. Yes. Assuming that... Actually, I'm gonna start Woody Marks no matter what.
32:11Yeah, no matter what. And then what was like...
32:14I think it was the second question. There was like a Kendra Miller.
32:18Yeah, it's full PPR. Should I drop Kaelin Black or Emmitt Johnson for Rashad White?
32:22But I have Kenneth Walker as an RB1. So I don't know if I should just like...
32:27Yeah, I think you gotta get Rashad White right now.
32:30Thank you for the question, dude. Questions. I think you gotta get Rashad White and he's gotta go.
32:36You know, it's so funny. I have the exact same situation in a league.
32:40Pentathlon. We and me and Bogman share a team.
32:43We have Kaelin Black and Emmitt Johnson. And like we are faced with bye weeks.
32:47I'm like, these guys are gonna have to go at some point.
32:51You know, like one of them is gonna have to go.
32:54And we're gonna have to jettison one. And you know, he's a big Emmitt Johnson guy.
32:59Yeah. You just hope that the week that you drop him is not the week that there's the injury to the start.
33:06And you're just like, fingers crossed. And you know you just gotta live with it.
33:11But you gotta make moves. And right, those guys don't have value to play.
33:15It's just all contingent value. And I think with this person, Kaelin Black, remember, is gonna go on a bye week next week.
33:22So. Yeah, exactly. You know, weird things happen. But McCaffrey's most likely going to stay healthy during his bye week.
33:28Versus Ken Walker, who already had his bye week.
33:31Yeah. So Ken Walker's playing every single week. So you have to keep Johnson.
33:35So I would drop Kaelin Black. Yeah. And then, you know, maybe you can scoop him back up at some point.
33:41But, you know, you gotta make the moves. And handcuffs are, unfortunately, the first to go.
33:46To your point, brother. Bye week is the following week.
33:49People are probably not gonna stash him there. He'll probably be someone.
33:53Exactly. He's gonna get dumb. Yeah, people try to pick him up.
33:57And then they'll re-dump him. So Kaelin Black is definitely the option for you to go, to get out.
34:02And good on you for being able to get a guy like Rashad White.
34:07That's, uh. Yeah. That's actually. You're on his bye week.
34:10Yeah. That's pretty sick. All right. So hold on.
34:12I'm pressing buttons here. Sishi. I don't know if I said that correctly.
34:16Sishi? Yeah. Hi, guys. It's pronounced. It's a nickname.
34:19It's pronounced Shashi. But thank you. I knew I was like, I'm gonna screw this up in some capacity.
34:25It's all good. Um, I just have a really quick question.
34:28So, uh, with injuries and, uh, byweights, I'm down to flex spot of Trevion Henderson.
34:33Sorry for a Thursday night question. And, uh, Mike Washington.
34:36Big Mike. Big Mike? Oh, yeah. Thank you for the question.
34:39Big Mike. Eric talked about it. He's gonna get more touches.
34:43Yeah. Okay. Well, that's what I was gonna ask.
34:45I think this is on tailgate. Were you, are you with these guys where you think like Gentty could be someone that,
34:52because Alfredo was kind of being like, hey, maybe the Raiders, because we were talking about Mendoza watch, then maybe the Raiders
34:59are going to start moving to some of the other pieces.
35:02Do you really think they're going to start moving off of Gentty for Big Mike?
35:07Hmm. Maybe. I mean, it's kind of been that way the last couple games.
35:11I don't know. Again, the Gentty thing is really weird because is he healthy?
35:15We don't know. His ankle. We don't know how healthy he is.
35:19They said he's more healthy. He's still really involved in the passing game a lot, which has kind of been like bolstering
35:26his fantasy value for the most part. But I mean, Mike Washington has looked good in his limited opportunities and Kubiak saying
35:32that they want to use all three guys. They ran a two back system in Seattle, right?
35:37This is going to be the first time that Kubiak decided, you know what?
35:42We're not doing a bell cow. We're going to do a two man, three man committee because he did it all in Seattle with Charbonnet and Ken Walker.
35:50So yeah, I think that Mike Washington has more upside this week, especially against the Rams down a bunch of their defensive linemen.
35:57So that's that's direction I would go in. I mean, I talked about Mike Washington as a like a sleeper running back
36:04play on the ranking show as like a deep play and everything has been positive regarding him heading into this next game.
36:11I think the matchup is there for him. It should be a high scoring game against the Rams between the Rams and the Raiders in the dome.
36:19Mike Washington, dude, big explosive running back. And maybe he's a better fit for.
36:23I mean, I don't want to go on a limb and say that because I just can't.
36:28It's really hard to evaluate Gentry if he's not healthy and his ankles like all messed.
36:33Remember, remember we were like, is he out for the season?
36:37This is like mysterious ankle injury. And so but that being said, I think Mike Washington is going to get a decent amount of work in this spot.
36:45And I think he can deliver. You think the Raiders would trade Gentry?
36:49Who's more likely to get traded, Gentry or Jonathan Taylor?
36:52Like me versus who should actually get men? Because if you're an actual team, you'd actually want to trade for Gentry.
36:58Yeah. Then Jonathan Taylor. So. I mean, it's probably I mean, they're not they're not going to trade Gentry.
37:04I mean, teams like dig in on these like.
37:07I mean, I guess the Trent Richardson thing is like the thing that's like the comp, right?
37:12It's like, oh, he's Trent Richardson 2.0 and Trent Richardson obviously got traded.
37:16I think his second year to the Colts. So, yeah, no, I think that he'll probably be on the Raiders.
37:22OK. Mako. Mako. What up? Can you hear me?
37:25Yeah, we got you. I have a couple of questions.
37:28This one is a 10 man league. I have AJ Brown, DK Metcalf starting as my wide receivers and Ollie Gordon in the flex.
37:35I was wondering, would you start JMO or Colonel Tate instead of any of those three?
37:40No. No, no, I didn't think so. No. No.
37:43No. And the second one is with Jalen Waddell.
37:46Yeah, I was obviously high on him this season.
37:48Not been great so far. Would you, what do you think of Jalen Waddell and Tyler Warren for, sorry, for McBride?
37:55Is that too much? Or would you do that trade?
37:58I would do that and do that in a heartbeat.
38:01I don't know how that's going to get done.
38:04Yeah. I don't think that's getting done. But if that is an offer that you were receiving.
38:09There's no way that's getting, there's no way that's getting done.
38:12There's no way. People might try to veto that if it does.
38:16If you have McBride, you're not trading him for Tyler Warren, who's injured, and Jalen Waddell.
38:21Like, no. I mean, you could try, but that's not.
38:24I would say, if you're trying to upgrade tight end, I think a better.
38:28Well, no. McBride is the better, but like maybe reality is what?
38:32No, that's what I mean. But I'm trying to think, like, could you do that for Loveland?
38:37But are you, if you're trading, didn't you say Warren?
38:40Yeah, Warren and Waddell. Are you upgrading a tight end, trading off of Warren?
38:44I mean, I was banged up, but. Is it not?
38:47I mean, you're using Waddell to get better. What about likely?
38:51I mean. What about likely? What about. Yeah, no.
38:53I'm shy. I'm buying likely with McCarthy. You worry.
38:56Are you going to bring likely down now because of McCarthy?
38:59I thought you were good. I don't think you can bring him up.
39:03Yeah, but he's like top five or six tight end.
39:06You don't feel good about him anymore? What about LaPorta?
39:09He's not happy. He's not happy. He, remember, he's on a part of my take.
39:14And he's just like. Those quotes were pretty like.
39:17We talked about it on Extra Point. I broke my back for this team.
39:21Dude, I got to tell you, it was one of those days.
39:25I really wish you were there because I brought this up on Tailgate.
39:29And it was just like, when's the. I mean, it's a new world that we live in.
39:34A new age with media and stuff like that.
39:37But it's like, when have you heard a player kind of slam their team to this capacity on a podcast in season?
39:43Like it's week six that he did that going into week seven.
39:47And he's just like, yeah, I broke my back for this team.
39:51They won't. Is he about to airball this game?
39:53Yeah, I don't. What's going to happen? He's like, I'll go get my money elsewhere and I'll be fine.
39:59Like those are just damning comments to be out there.
40:02And what does that do? Does, you know. Team just ignore it and move on.
40:07I have no idea. I mean, it's John Harbaugh.
40:10They probably cut him. But I don't know. I don't know.
40:13I think John Harbaugh cut him. It's cool if you want.
40:16If you can make that trade, do that in a heartbeat.
40:20I think you got to look at maybe it's a little Port of Loveland's.
40:24But I'm just not sure a healthy Warren is that in trading Waddle out there.
40:28I will say Alfredo was a little bit with you.
40:31Thanks. Bo Nix is going to have a bounce back game against the Cardinals.
40:36But like will Jalen Waddle be of effect? I firmly refuse to put him as a top 30 wide receiver right now.
40:42I refuse. And if I'm wrong, that's okay. Where's he ECR?
40:46I think he was. Where's he ECR? Last he was 29.
40:49I'll go look right now. Okay. Because again, like we're trying to hit the trifecta this week.
40:54We're trying to finish one, two, three in the rankings between me, you, and Fitzy.
40:59So. We're going to have to like get together then.
41:02I mean, if we're going to say, again, if we're going to finish all top three, we kind of got a squad ride on some of these players.
41:10It ain't going to be Jalen Waddle. We can't have one of us.
41:14I refuse. You got to have him at least 30.
41:17Put him on your top 30. Nope. 34. I have him 34.
41:21I refuse. No. I refuse. He's been the worst wide receiver ever since then.
41:25But you're already lower than consensus. You don't need to bury him even more.
41:30He's already like slightly buried. He's now going to 35.
41:33Just move up a couple spots. Nope. Just went to 37.
41:36Nope. He's going down. Moving. Stop. No. This is what happens.
41:39Like you don't need to be a hero with Waddle.
41:42You don't need to be a hero. I just don't want to advocate for him.
41:47But you know this will probably be the week.
41:50It is a good matchup out there. But it's like every single time we're like oh it's a good matchup.
41:56And then you know the corners will get stopped Sutton and slot.
41:59And it's like it never happens. He gets four catches for 24 yards.
42:03Everybody looks bad against his UF defense. He needs to.
42:06You know that. He needs to. Send him back to Atlanta.
42:10Send him to Atlanta. That's. I don't know man.
42:13I'm out of it. All right. Um. All right.

42:43You're crazy. Go and do it. All right. Let's get into a couple more here.
42:47I Devo. What up Devo? Yeah. How's it going guys?
42:50Um. Two questions for you. One. Uh. What. What do I do with Josh Downs guys?
42:55I was. I was excited for him. Eric said I know you've been preaching it too.
43:00Kind of earlier in the season. But I know off the wide receiver ranking show.
43:05You guys are probably saying he's a sit. But I need to flex.
43:09So. I have Downs. Blake Corum. Alvin Kamara. Or I could grab like Vele off of waivers.
43:14Corum. You want Corums? I just. I'm going to still go Downs.
43:17You want. But you're saying Corum? Yeah. Okay. There you go Devo.
43:21Oops. Sorry. Boot him. Boot him. I say it's still Downs out there.
43:25But I get the concerns and the frustration. Oops.
43:28Did I boot you? Was there another question Devo?
43:31That was my bad. Yeah. Sorry. I had one more.
43:34Just. Just question on a couple of holds. So I have room for two of the three.
43:39Marvin Harrison Jr. Emmett Johnson. Terrence Ferguson. I have Hawkinson as my current tight end.
43:43But I have Price on my IR. So Ferguson would have to take a bench spot.
43:48All right. So what two do you want Erickson?
43:51Or who do you want to boot? Ferguson. Ferguson.
43:54Ferguson. Okay. It'd be nice when he comes back.
43:56If he ever comes back though. Maybe. Yeah. But when he comes back, he could be a top five tight end rest of the way.
44:04That's worth holding on to. So wait a minute.
44:07I'm confused. I thought you had to pick two and you had to boot one.
44:11You booted Ferguson. Oh, and keep Ferguson. Oh, okay.
44:14That's what I was like. Okay. But you got it.
44:17Then there were, he could keep two of the other.
44:20Now I'm forgetting who the other two were. Who were they?
44:24So two of the three. It was Ferguson. One was Marvin Harrison Jr.
44:28Marvy. Fergie. And some other Ergie. Emmett Johnson. Marvin Harrison's getting the boot.
44:32Okay. He's getting the boot. Good. Love to see it.
44:35Love to see that one. Man, Manley. What's up?
44:37Hello? Hey guys. Um, I heard you talking a little bit about, uh, Isaiah, like the earlier, it sounds like maybe Anders
44:44a bit skeptical, but, um, I've just been thinking as a general sort of strategy rule.
44:49And when I have an elite tight end, I don't like to carry two.
44:53So I picked up likely when Bowers was hurt and now obviously he's back, but I've been kind of flexing of likely.
45:00And I kind of feeling like that works. Do you think it can be wise sometimes to keep two tight ends on the roster?
45:07If one's a viable flex option, or would you try to package likely with someone else to, to upgrade elsewhere?
45:13What size league? A 10 team full PPR. Oh, you said the one that you didn't need to say.
45:19I was like, Oh, 14 man's good. 12 man, maybe in a 10 team league.
45:24Is it justifiable to rock two tight ends, Erickson?
45:26I mean, if it's working, I think so. I know that you're getting a position sometimes where that's your best option.
45:33And if you just look at the way that these guys are deployed, likely in Bowers, they are more like slot receivers than tight ends.
45:40So I think that's fine that you've been doing it.
45:43Obviously it does pigeonhole you sometimes in terms of you can't use that flex for another type of position.
45:49Cause you have to start your two tight ends.
45:52However, on the likely thing, if you don't need to have two tight ends and you can ship them off, look, there's
45:59a chance that, you know, things stay status quo, but I just have reservations about McCarthy keeping both likely and neighbors producing at this level.
46:06We know James Winston is a fantasy King maker.
46:09We've seen this everywhere. I mean, dude, how many yards did Jerry Judy have with James Winston?
46:14How many yards does Jerry Judy have without like, again, not to put the talent, like it's totally different, but it's been really, really good.
46:22The last three games. I mean, the good, the whole season really.
46:25And I just think that this level of production for these guys, it's the Texans.
46:30This like, this could be a downright disaster game for the giants.
46:34And then it's your run to the Hills with the giants on their next bi-week.
46:38So that's why I think that right now there's still enough optimism.
46:42And again, I don't know what's going to happen.
46:45It could be fine. McCarthy could be much improved, but our biggest sample size of him is he brings down fantasy production,
46:51especially compared to a guy like James Winston, who just brings up fantasy production.
46:56I think if I could get a strong return for likely right now, I would probably ship them off knowing that I
47:02also have Brock Bowers to fall back on at my tight end position, given likely to a tight end needy team.
47:09I think that's the approach I would, I would go for.
47:12So that's, that's kind of my spiel. I'm with it.
47:15Bucks, man. What's up, Bucks, man. Hey, how's it going?
47:18First, can you hear me? Yeah, we got you, man.
47:21Yep. Perfect. I just got two questions here. So in my main league, I've been there for about 10 years and I
47:28won the last three out of the four titles.
47:31Thanks to you guys. Right now I'm three and three struggling through some injuries and I wanted to make a trade to get Ken Walker.
47:38Cause the Ken Walker owner, he had, he's two and four.
47:42I just beat him last week. He's struggling that receiver.
47:45He has Ken Walker and Jonathan Taylor. My other running backs, I have, I have James Cook, Chase Brown and Bucky Irvin.
47:51So I was going to see if you would consider trading Chase Brown, T-Mac and Roman Medunze to get Ken Walker.
47:58Or should I stand pat with Chase Brown? What would your wide receivers be?
48:02If you did that, I still have Zay, AJ Brown and Jalen Coker.
48:06What do you think? Yeah. Go for it. Yeah.
48:09I think that's a go for it. Especially you three and threes, two and four.
48:13If that were, you're giving him some depth, but you're getting just a baller running back.
48:18That guy must've had a tough schedule if he's two and four with Ken Walker.
48:23Right. Like, like Ken Walker's the truth. Like, I mean, I have, I have Ken Walker, no big deal.
48:29And this might be the week. I kind of just ruined myself.
48:32But, uh, in my home league, the Bogman league, I'm six and oh, and I got, I'd have to get Walker.
48:39It doesn't take a G's to figure out which teams that have Ken Walker have really strong record.
48:44Six and oh, I don't usually have those undefeated runs.
48:47Actually, I think I can walk in the second round.
48:50Now I'm thinking about it, but yeah, I'm six and oh, in that league, like Ken Walker is, uh, he's, he's a champ maker.
48:57I mean, there's a reason why he won AFC player of the month, the month of September.
49:03He's, I think the fantasy football league winner right now entering week seven, leads the NFL in rushing ours.
49:08He already had his bye. Like it's just, it's pretty insane what he's doing and I'm here for it, but I'm here for it too.
49:16Scott. What up? Scott. Come on down. If you will.
49:19Can you do it? Uh, three, two, one. All right.
49:22Uh, raise your hand if you figure it out and come on back here as we just do our last couple Stan.
49:29Is that right? What's up? That's right. Guys. Can you hear me?
49:33We got you. I got, excuse me, a couple of questions.
49:36Quarterback this week, borrows or love. And then my second question is running back.
49:40Should I be worried about gente yet? My other running backs are Warren, Braylon Allen, Algier, Rashard white and Judkins.
49:46Okay. Uh, on the quarterback, I am Jordan love.
49:49I think this week. Yep. Turn up for me.
49:5254 field, 54 field, uh, course field of the NFL.
49:5553.5 total. Yeah. Although I'm already dreading how the floor ruins this for us.
49:5975 pounds of rock with Josh Jacobs and just Jacob's 17 carries in the first half.
50:04I'm going to be so mad. And all, and you have to give credit.
50:08But the lions are getting back Brian branch as their safety.
50:12So I know no one's going to care because everyone else on the defense sucks.
50:16But if for some reason, the lines defense plays way better, it's because they got Brian branch back.
50:22Like that is literally a hundred percent. The reason why, again, not a Fred Warner type of impact, but just having somebody
50:28back there that can function is, it could actually make a big difference.
50:32So, uh, I'm prepared to be hurt, but I will not stop from betting the over.
50:37It's one of my best bets on the bank show, because I don't take unders when games play forward field, force field of the NFL.
50:45And then the second question was about, I'm forgetting.
50:47It was like all those running backs. What was it?
50:51He was just listing off. If he should be worried about, I mean, obviously if you have gente, you're not.
50:57Oh yeah. It was the gente. Yeah. You're concerned.
50:59Um, I know gente was my buy low. I think a couple of weeks ago, a lot of my vital running backs
51:06have not panned out because they keep getting injured.
51:09So that's not been great. I think he's got a hold, right?
51:12Maybe they sit him down, get him right. One thing I keep pointing to, and I talked about this with worm on
51:19the trade show when it came to Ashton Gentry, I think we were talking about Gentry and like Javante Williams.
51:25Would you trade Javante Williams to get Ashton Gentry plus?
51:28I thought that was kind of like an interesting angle of buying.
51:32I think he's going to be buying low on gente and selling high on all the touchdowns with Javante Williams.
51:38The thing with gente, remember you got to, it's a new scheme for the offense with Clint Kubiak.
51:44You know who scheme and running backs were buns last year to start the season, the Chicago bears, they were horrible.
51:50And they turned it around. Now they had an earlier bi-week than the Raiders did, but they turned it around and they
51:57had one of the best running attacks in the NFL the rest of the way.
52:01So I do think that there is more for gente in this offense.
52:05He just has to get healthy. Like that's like the, obviously the big difference between him and like the bears running backs last year.
52:12All right. Uh, we'll try to get like two more.
52:16Juanito. Oh, I got to go to Scott in a second.
52:19Hold on. Well, if Scott, we got a promise to get a Juanito.
52:23There you go. Hey, can you guys hear me?
52:26Yeah, we gotcha. Awesome. So I put, I put everything in chat at around two 30 Eastern.
52:31Um, so my team's Taylor time. I'm five and one 12 team, half PPR.
52:35Um, and I just got offered the following, uh, Jamar chase.
52:38I would get Jamar chase, uh, Jalen Warren and Hawkinson.
52:41And I would trade a lavage of Vontay and Stroud.
52:44What are your thoughts on that? Um, also five and one.
52:48Yes. Okay. So what do you think, Erickson? Five and one team.
52:51Is this an, I mean, chase is like the clear, that's a clear piece, the upgrade.
52:56I'm trying to get back to where the hell it was.
53:00What do you think about this move? I like steel.
53:03He already has, I mean, he strides on his bench.
53:06Oh, that's not really doing anything. He needs a tight end.
53:09So getting Hawkinson as depth is at least helpful.
53:12Like you can at least plug them in as an option.
53:15And then you're getting the best player in the deal, right?
53:19With Jamar chase and upgrade over Chris Olave. So I'm cool with this.
53:23Okay. Yeah, I'm down. I think Warren and Javante are close.
53:26Chase is a definite upgrade. I mean, I think that's the play.
53:30That looks really good. All right. Scott, do you got one for us?
53:33Did you get your thing figured out? The thing with the thing to come on down?
53:38There we go. Hey, sorry guys. Good. So I am having an issue.
53:42I'm in a 12 team PPR league. And my second running back is Jordan Mason.
53:47And beyond that, I have Jonathan Taylor, Blake Corum and Kalon black.
53:51So I'm really desperate running back. So I'm really desperate running back.
53:54Parker Mason or Parker Washington, who a guy offered me a Saquon Barkley for my other, my other running receivers are good.
54:01I got Nico Collins, Jalen Coker. I got Latin McAfee.
54:04Should I move Washington for take one? Or I just don't know what he looks like.
54:09Second half of the year. Yeah. I don't think I want to do that.
54:13I'm worried. The offensive line is buns and there's no hurts.
54:16And I, I actually don't really like your other wide receivers.
54:20And I don't like lad. And I don't like a Coker making why you would trade Parker.
54:25This, this trade is exactly what every Saquon Barkley manager should be doing.
54:29It's trying to get Parker was because I totally get like the appeal, right?
54:33We're like, man, I do need a running back.
54:36My receivers aren't horrible on my team. Like Parker Washington, like, I mean, he only caught four of his 11 targets last week.
54:43Like maybe I don't need him. He's on a buy.
54:46You can't do that. Yeah. Which guy is going to be, which one has a better chance of being a league winner in your opinion?
54:54I mean, it's not close, right? It's Parker Washington.
54:56Uh, yeah. I mean, well, when you say it like that, like we've actually literally seen Saquon Barkley be a league winner
55:03before, but like, so the crux of what you're saying, but I know what you mean.
55:08I know what you mean here. Like, yeah. Washington is like the constant right now.
55:13I get there's a world where Barkley gets traded to a different team.
55:16He becomes a monster. And, but that's, what percentile outcome is that actually in reality where that actually ends up happening?
55:23What if he doesn't get traded? Then you're sitting on a guy on a bad offense behind a broken offensive line with a backup quarterback.
55:30Yeah. And you're hoping that the volume kind of gets him there, but as an older running back, how much volume can Saquon Barkley even take on?
55:39Right. We saw him break down last year after his monster season two years ago when he had a ton of volume already been banged up this season.
55:47What if they shut him down? Yeah. As that's another one right there.
55:51What if they just did throw him? So I think that this trade just gives me the idea of if you have
55:58Saquon Barkley, this is the type of movement that you should try to make is, okay, I can find an RB needy manager, put Barkley on them.
56:06Hey, like, here's the optimistic picture in the, you know, one percentile when it's actually happening.
56:11Whereas Parker Washington, I think Jaguars are talking about on the show with worm best schedule rest season for quarterbacks.
56:17So what does that mean? Really strong schedule for the number one wide receiver for that team.
56:22And that's Parker Washington. So yeah, I think you got it.
56:26You got a hold, man. You got a hold.
56:28I'm glad that they brought this question up though.
56:31I think that's very illuminating to me about like where Barkley's market is.
56:35Cause I think that this is like the right range where you should be, if you are shopping him, which I mean, do you want to buy Barkley?
56:44You want to sell? So if you had, if you were on a team, like what would you want to do?
56:50I think I want to sell them. I think the cost to buy is still too high.
56:55Great question. Great breakdown. And that's actually going to do it here for the extra point.
