0:00So, I have just been refreshing Twitter non-stop trying to figure out if JT is going to get traded. And I really
0:08thought it was going to happen this morning. Like, we had the Ricky Scoops guy come out and tweet that the um
0:15Vikings were about to make a massive trade. I mean, my group chat's just been blowing up with this stuff. Let me go
0:21ahead and pull up and keep in mind, this is all just crazy speculation. Right. I This is the dumbest stuff possible. I'm not going to
0:33sit here and say that you need to treat this as if it has any validity whatsoever. But, I'm just so freaking
0:41obsessed with this because, again, I have JT on my own team. I picked up Zach Moss as well. So, I I really want him to get traded. I
0:50think that this Colts team will be bad, but also I'd get the extra starting running back.
0:54But, here, I just got sent in my group chat by Davis Maddock. Um there's some random Twitter account, right? I mean,
1:01like, this is the stage that I'm currently at right now, stressing about this JT deal.
1:07We have I know none of you will believe me, but one of my fraternity brother's sister is married to an NFL agent. They
1:13golf all the time. He just told me there is a trade being finalized for JT right now and the Vikings are front runners.
1:19Again, I know how this sounds, but let's go.
1:23I mean, again, I I will say that I understand how ludicrous this is. I get how stupid it is. Um in uh my chat,
1:31we're getting that Ricky Scoops is going out tweeting that another blockbuster trade is being finalized. #SKOL.
1:39I'm sitting here all day thinking Jonathan Taylor is going to be a Minnesota Viking. And we actually did see with some prediction markets as
1:47well, the odds of JT being a Viking skyrocketing up after all that stuff went trending on Twitter.
1:59We had Jonathan to the Minnesota Vikings peaking at a 62% chance.
2:05Since then, that was about at like 11:00 a.m. this morning.
2:12It has fallen down where right now markets the market I'm looking at currently is $300,000 in volume. So, it's actually compared to when we were looking at it a
2:23couple days ago with like $10,000 of volume. It's definitely going to be a lot more accurate now.
2:28We have a 43% chance to Minnesota.
2:3241% chance he stays in Indianapolis. And then you have single-digit percent chances that he goes to like Denver, New England, Cincinnati, the Giants, the
2:42Packers, the Seahawks. It's unlikely that you could say he's going to be a Bengal, that he's going to be a Patriot,
2:49that he's going to be a Bronco. It seems most likely that he is either going to stay a cult or he's going to get sent to
2:55the Minnesota Vikings as it stands as of today on Thursday. Now, what's frustrating for me is as somebody who has JT, I would have if he is going to
3:06be a Viking, I would have loved that trade happen on Tuesday so he could have played against the Detroit Lions on
3:11Sunday without good of a match-up that is, but it is what it is.
3:16I'm going to continue to just spam refresh um read into any tiny little piece of rumor that I have, pretend that
3:25it's something because in my warped little twisted head, I want it to be.
3:30And I will keep you all posted as well.
3:34But, let's go ahead and let's run through what we have with um a lot of these teams, a lot of these
3:43start sit questions, and a lot of these trades. Chief Sosa says, "Hey Mason, love the content.
3:48Currently five and two, coming off an L.
3:51Just made a trade where we sent away Jacobs and Jordan Mason for Olave and Ali Gordon. Looks pretty damn good, man.
3:58In week two, we made another trade where we sent Parker Washington and Love for Bowers and Trevion. So, Trevion missed practice today. I mean, there
4:06have been some trade rumors circulating that maybe just maybe we end up getting Trevion Henderson sent out to New England. Not super likely, but I think
4:16that deal makes sense for Bowers there.
4:18And then, what else can I do to improve the squad? Much love. Much love, my friend. I am excited to check this out
4:23for you. So, you're the number one team in the league when it comes to value.
4:28You're five and two as well. Looks like you are the second team in the league standings with the second most points.
4:36Quarterback, you are in a very comfortable position where we have Joe Burrow, right? So, if you have Burrow, you're able to start him every
4:46single week going into the future regardless of match up. Now, this is a um extra good situation in that he's
4:56already through his bye week as well.
4:59Now, going to running back, we have Basha Tuten, we have Chase Brown, Olaija Godwin running back three. So, you have two locked and loaded running backs you
5:08can start every week. I actually think, and of course, I'm delusional. I've said this every week for the past month, but
5:17I do actually think we are about to get a really strong performance from Chase Brown against the Tennessee Titans.
5:26And I think you're going to see a lot more people be very optimistic about him going into the future, especially after
5:32the Titans offload the best defensive tackle in the NFL.
5:36And receiver, you have Laquon Treadwell, Golden Tate, McMillan. You have four very strong wide receiver options. And we have the elite tight end with Bowers,
5:44and we have Loveland as well.
5:46So, this is an incredible team.
5:49Like, you obviously have the best team in this league.
5:52Now, in terms of moves that you could make or things that you'd want to do from here, I mean, it's kind of obvious
5:59that if you're sitting with both the combination of Brock Bowers and Colson Loveland, you don't need both of these guys. I personally do view Loveland as a
6:07top-five tight end rest of season.
6:11If you can find somebody else in your league that also has a similar outlook for Loveland, with how good he's been
6:17over the past month, plus with the fact that obviously you have uh Cole Kmet out for the season as well.
6:25I would be interested in seeing if you could go ahead and try to package together like Colson Loveland and Basha Tooten to get the best running back you
6:33possibly can. Or Colson Loveland and Ollie Gordon to get the best running back that you possibly can. Looking at the teams that need help at tight end,
6:41this team has Pat Freiermuth and Mike Gesicki at the moment. They have Bijan Robinson, so I mean hell, if you wanted
6:47to go through and try to make a Bijan trade, obviously you're not trading Loveland in that instance, but maybe you want to try to package together like
6:54Brock Bowers and Basha Tooten and go ahead and get Bijan if you feel comfortable and you agree with me that Loveland is
7:04a top-five tight end rest of season.
7:07Going to some of the other teams that maybe need help at tight end, this team's currently sitting with Andrews and Michael Mayer. They have Kenneth
7:15Walker, you can look at a very similar type deal for Walker. Obviously, the better trade if possible is like sending Ollie Gordon and Brock Bowers to get to
7:24a player like Kenneth Walker, that'd just be an absolute no-brainer. And then this team also needs help. They have only Dallas Goedert. Problem is their
7:32running back position's going to be so damn gross, but I mean if you could get over to Bucky Irving by like trading the
7:38combination of Trevion Henderson um and Colson Loveland's to get yourself to Bucky. Actually, you're probably not going to do that.
7:50It'll probably take like Ollie Gordon and Loveland to get to Bucky Irving, but I mean if you could make that move,
7:56obviously it would be a no-brainer.
7:59But overall, man, I really love the team. I think you have the best team in your league. The leverage point that you
8:05would have is specifically surrounding the tight end position because you have both Bowers and Loveland. It's going to be easier said than done, but I mean if
8:14you could go out there and make a pretty compelling move where you go through and sell one of the tight ends there, I
8:21think that'd make a ton of sense.
8:23But, I really appreciate you and again, I hope I was able to help you out in some way with this.
8:30Now, let's go over to our next question.
8:32It's going to be from MLB pitcher.
8:35Says, "Bit worried about this week.
8:38Should I pick up a waiver wire quarterback with the Bears matchup?"
8:41Obviously, Bears have a really tough spot going up against um Seattle. I wouldn't fault you for doing it. The problem is who would you
8:49cut?
8:52You're starting Bijan Judkins at running back. Wide receiver, you have St. Brown, Pickens, DK Metcalf.
8:58Tight end, you're going to play Cole Kmet and Loveland even in the tough matchup. And then going down to the flex,
9:04you're probably rolling with Stefon Diggs.
9:07Dig getting in the full practice, should be good to go at this point.
9:12So, if you wanted, I completely understand you going out there and you picking up a
9:21waiver wire option to play over Caleb Williams. But, in
9:30terms of you doing that, I think Jacoby Brissett would be like the main guy that it would make sense and that I would be
9:39interested in making that play.
9:42And what that would most likely cost, at least in my mind, is that would most likely cost us going through and
9:54um dropping Colby Parkinson and then just rostering the three quarterbacks for this week. But again, don't love rostering three QBs here.
10:03But I really appreciate you and I hope I was able to help you out in some way with this.
10:09Now, let's go over to our next one. This is going to be Joe Witt Witt the hoodie.
10:13Long time member of the flock. To say Mason a lot has happened. Was able to get rid of Olave for Rice and Burden.
10:19I would say in a lot of leagues that's a move that I do not want to do.
10:23However, this is a start nine format.
10:27This is a league in which you have to start three flex spots.
10:31So, picking up additional starters is going to matter a ton and it is actually going to move the needle here a
10:36considerable amount.
10:38Now, going to our roster specifically.
10:43Um you actually got a Ebuka for Lloyd and Josh Jacobs is back. Yeah, I mean hell yeah, that's a great spot to be in.
10:50Um we just made a trade for Neighbors involving Burden and Ebuka. So, you have effectively traded away Olave and Marshaun Lloyd
11:02for Rashee Rice and Malik Neighbors.
11:06Yeah, so you essentially traded away like Lloyd for Rice.
11:10I know I'm two and five and my running backs are iffy, but if Hampton gets going and Barkley stays healthy, I feel
11:14pretty good about the team.
11:16So, I would say you actually do have a much better record than I'm sorry, a much better team than what your record
11:22would indicate.
11:24But, at the same time man, like if you're two and five, you can't bank on like oh okay, well if Barkley gets
11:35healthy, we're going to have a good running back room.
11:40Like if you're two and five, you need to go out there and you need to make a move to get something done right
11:46this second.
11:52Right? You can't be banking on any long-term value that we have with any of these guys like Saquon Barkley.
11:59And go oh okay, if he can get right, the team's going to be get No, no, no.
12:04We need something to happen with this now.
12:07Sooner rather than later.
12:10Quarterback, we have Jayden Daniels.
12:12Running back, we have Saquon as well as Josh Jacobs. We have Amari and Hampton who potentially gets better. We'll see.
12:22And then we have Seth McGowan, obviously, who could turn into a starter if we get the news drop. I mean, hopefully any second now that Jonathan
12:29Taylor's traded.
12:32Wide receiver, we have Jamar Chase, Malik Nabers. So, we have two hammers.
12:36We have Rashee Rice who can play in the flex. What was the practice report that we had with Rashee Rice today?
12:42Rice is going to be good to go, right?
12:49Okay. John says Taylor's 100% getting traded.
12:53The real question, John, is how much creatine does Jonathan Taylor take a day?
13:00That's what I need to know.
13:03Are we talking about the standard 5 g?
13:05Are we talking about a John 40-g daily serving?
13:11Okay.
13:18Um Check Google overview for Jonathan Taylor. I don't care if Google is saying
13:27Jonathan Taylor is a Kansas City Chief.
13:30There's a zero per- like Maybe somebody edited the Google AI to make it say something funny, but There's a zero percent chance Jonathan
13:42Taylor is a Chief. That would be the worst thing ever. It ain't happening.
13:46Okay. It looks like Rashee Rice was on the practice fields again today.
13:57Okay, so it looks like he'll be good to go.
14:00Um Sumer says Higbee or Ferguson?
14:04I would go ahead and I would take Tyler Higbee.
14:08But So, you should have Rice. I think the thing is, man, you just need to go through and you need to sell Saquon
14:14Barkley for whatever you can get.
14:19Again, I hate to say it, but Barkley's probably not playing this week. There's no reason for him to.
14:28Like did you see him last week? The man every single run was pulling up lame.
14:34The Eagles have two games and then they have a bye.
14:38My base expectation would be that Saquon misses the next two weeks. Then takes the bye week to get healthy and then you got him back in four weeks.
14:49And at that point if I mean if you're starting Amari and Hampton and you fall to two and nine because of that,
15:00that'd be that'd be horrendous. That'd be horrific.
15:03No world in which you're doing that.
15:07So, you need to take K'Neal Tate.
15:12Actually, I don't even want to do a two-for-one deal with Barkley.
15:19Because I mean if we are looking at a K'Neal Tate, these level players you
15:29need to hold on to for your flex spots.
15:31You need them.
15:33I would just try to sell Saquon Barkley and get the most marginal running back you can possibly get in return.
15:53Can we go to a team that has a winning record that could maybe take him on?
15:56This team is five and two.
16:00They don't have a running back in that range.
16:04This team's five and two.
16:09God, why this team's the worst team ever? How the hell are they five and two?
16:12Their construction's god-awful for the format.
16:23This team's 5 and 2. Man, if you can sell Saquon Barkley for Ali Gordon, you got to do it.
16:38Again, I mean, I hate saying it. I know you're giving up a lot of the upside in that case.
16:45But, you can't wait around for Barkley to get back and get healthy. I mean, that's the only name that I'd be willing to move
16:52off of your team.
16:54And you're going to be selling at a discount. It's going to suck, but you can't afford to fall to 2 and 6.
17:00Your team's definitely a hell of a lot better now that you have Rece Rice coming back in. And I wouldn't fault you
17:05either, like if you wanted to pivot off of some of these guys that still have to go through their bye weeks,
17:11such as like Malik Neighbors, and see if you can get to a wide receiver that's in a similar range that is
17:20already through his bye, right? So, you're just going to get an extra game played from him.
17:26Let me see if we can find anybody that fits that molds.
17:31Like trading Neighbors for Justin Jefferson. I have Malik Neighbors ranked ahead of Jetta's rest of season, but you're going to get the extra game
17:40from Justin Jefferson in comparison to Malik Neighbors, and I don't know if they're that far apart.
17:48Okay.
17:51And then lastly, I would say that Treyvion Henderson has to be rostered.
17:55He's just that the worst case of a very premium handcuff, where if you were to get an injury to Raheem Mostert
18:00Stevenson, Treyvion at that point looks like a potential league winner.
18:06Okay.
18:08But yeah, I appreciate you, man.
18:11And I'm wishing the best of luck for you, but you need to sell Barkley.
18:20T-Spade says, "I've been trying to trade for a running back, but no one seems to be willing to trade or they're
18:24overvaluing their players. Do you think I'm good for now? Keep up the good work." Appreciate you, man. We're the number one team in this league when it
18:30comes to value. We're five and two as well. We've scored the third most points in this league. So, I'm sorry, the
18:35fourth most points in this league, but based on records, we should be third in the league standings. So, generally, you're five and two. You're not like the
18:42team we just looked at previous to this that's two and five where it's like, "Hey, you're desperate. You got to make
18:47a move."
18:49You can't stick with this team as is.
18:51You got to make a play here.
18:54You're five and two, it's the opposite.
18:56You're coming from a position of strength. Quarterback, we have Tyler Shuck. We're streaming Jacoby Brissett this week. That looks very strong.
19:03Running back, we have the anchor with Kenneth Walker already through the bye.
19:07And then we have Keaontay Ingram who potentially coming out of the Niners bye week, maybe if this Christian McCaffrey hamstring lingers, then Keaontay Ingram
19:15is usable.
19:16You have Seth Magallan where if you were to get in trade to Jonathan Taylor tomorrow, then all of a sudden like Seth Magallan startable.
19:29So, you have a couple outs for running backs. One thing that I would say at this point is I would cut Kendre Miller.
19:36Like we just saw Miller with no Travis Etienne in this offense and the man didn't crack 10 points in a single game.
19:43He's not worth the roster spot. What I think would make a lot more sense for your team is your biggest problem is you
19:50just may need a running back too for this week and Elijah Mitchell looks like he may be a starting running back for an
19:56NFL team. So, I would cut Kendre Miller.
19:59I would pick up Elijah Mitchell just in case you actually need to start him.
20:05And then receiver, you have Ja'Marr Chase, Malik Neighbors, Matthew Golden, Tutu Atwell, McMillan, and Ekubuka. And then we have Tucker Kraft at tight end.
20:11So, very clearly, you have a team in which it would make a lot of sense that if you could go ahead and sell one of
20:20your receivers and get an upgrade at running back or just get a starting running back in return. It would make,
20:29again, a ton of sense for you.
20:34But, if your league mates are overvaluing them, you're 5 and 2, you're coming from a position of strength.
20:39So, I would not do that, but I really appreciate you and I hope that I was able to help you out in some way
20:48with this, my friend.
20:51Now, Corvino says, "Hey, man, back again a little further into the season and wanted to know your opinions on my team.
20:57Any place I need to trade up or down for?" Also, I put in for a hat about 2 months ago or so and never received one.
21:03Yeah, the hats are still being shipped out, my friend. I will share a text from my brother that I got today.
21:12Um Let me pull this up. I don't want to share screen share all my text.
21:20Okay. Um I'm not going to share uh he's said on the one above this
21:31that um post lady about to offer self tomorrow cuz he was dropping off so many hats.
21:43So, I don't want to share that on the YouTube live stream, the exact wording of it.
21:47But, today there were another 450 hats dropped off.
21:53So, the hats are getting sent out still, my friend. Um just because you haven't gotten one yet does not mean you are not
22:02going to get one this year.
22:05But, um any place I need to trade up or down for? Also, put in a hat, never received one. Hopefully, get one with
22:13that latest shipment. Um honestly, that is why I got the voucher. Wanted to ask.
22:18Well, I really appreciate you, man, and let me go ahead and let's dive into this team.
22:23So, right now we are Okay, looks like we changed our team name. We're the Lamar Jackson team.
22:34Okay, we have the best team in this league.
22:36You have a team that is better than mine and you play in a 14-team format and I play in a 12-team league.
22:43Right now we're sitting with Lamar Jackson coming back off the injury. We managed to stay five and two even with the Lamar injury
22:52in a 14-team format. That is tough to do that.
22:56Running back, we have the combination of Kenneth Walker and Bijan Robinson. So, we have two top three running backs.
23:05We have Rhamondre Stevenson RB3, JaMycal Hasty RB4. Looks like Rhamondre is very much startable in a 14-team league. And then
23:15JaMycal Hasty premium handcuff that could potentially take over his backfield. Emitt Johnson handcuff to Kenneth Walker. We have Olave and Luther
23:25Burden we can trust at wide receiver. We have the upside shot of Amari Cooper.
23:29You have an incredible team with this.
23:36And I will say real quick for anybody watching the stream, it does look like Matthew Golden is active for tonight.
23:43Hopefully for my sake as a decoy.
23:48Because I need Christian Watson to go off. Please for the love of God, Christian Watson do something for me.
23:55But yeah, man. I mean this team is just so damn good. You obviously hit on Amari Cooper coming off the waiver wire, which
24:05I would say that the biggest hole on this roster beforehand would have just been the overall depth and knowing that again, it's a 14-team double flex
24:15format, so the depth matters a ton. But because you were able to go out there and you were able to pick up like Amari
24:22Cooper and hit with him off the waivers.
24:25And I do think that JaMycal Hasty has the upside to go ahead and turn into a flexible piece here in a 14-team league
24:31as well.
24:32I think you have an incredible team. I wouldn't make a single trade with this.
24:38Looking at waiver wire pivots, I don't think I would do anything with the waivers either. I mean, if we end up
24:44getting Bryan Thomas Jr. traded to an interesting spot, I would cut Treylon Burks for him. I think Burks has a very
24:49cap ceiling.
24:51So, in like a 10-team league, 12-team league, I have zero interest in Burks, but I get it in a 14-team format where
24:57it's tough to come by flexes, so not going to fault you at all for rostering Burks right now, but again, I'd be quick
25:02to pick up Bryan Thomas if he gets traded elsewhere.
25:06Now, I think that's all I got for you right now. I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way
25:12with this, man.
25:14Now, Corbino, here for the flex, you're looking at J'Darien Price, Treylon Burks, Bam Knight, Emmit Johnson.
25:24I would plan on going Treylon Burks. I don't know if J'Darien Price is going to play this week. He did practice today,
25:32which obviously is encouraging. They're saying he has a chance to play as well.
25:39Yeah, so this is J'Darien Price today at practice.
25:45What the hell is that thing on his arm?
25:47It looks like it's taking his blood pressure.
25:49Anybody know what this is on his arm?
25:55Look, there's like a little tube that's coming from this into his What is that?
26:05Am I being stupid?
26:12We got shoulder brace.
26:16Is that a shoulder brace?
26:24It looks like he's taking his blood pressure, but again, I'm an idiot. Could it be a sh- Okay, yeah, it's a the
26:29brace, according to people in the chat.
26:32Cuz he was out to the IR with the chest injury. It's for his iPod. It's like one of the runners that has little thing.
26:38That's hilarious.
26:39Um But yeah, I want to I'd like again, I went through and I know we talked about this in the flock league video, but I
26:49traded T.J. Hockenson and Kaylin Ballage for Jerion Price and $100 fab. I viewed it as I again paid $15 for T.J. Hockenson on
27:01waivers last week. I just flipped him for 100 and I moved from Kaylin Ballage to Jerion Price.
27:07So, a handcuff running back to another handcuff running back that maybe could take over his backfield.
27:13But no way in hell you can trust Jerion Price until you officially actually see him.
27:21Okay. Now, Cody here for tight ends, I'd go Kincaid over Pitts and Strange easily if he plays, but he was with the non-contact jersey
27:30today. And then I'd go Jer- um Jeremy Bernard in the flex.
27:34Unless Tajae Spears is listed as out. If Spears is out, then you pivot to Pollard.
27:40Fair deal says, Eli Rerdan, Steelers tight end or Parkinson, Dulcich on waivers.
27:47Quarterback with the A.J. Brown injury, I would go with Dak Prescott over Drake Maye.
27:52And then tight end, Mason Taylor versus I would go Pat Freiermuth over Mason Taylor personally, if I had to choose one.
28:00Fuji, happy to see you as always my friend says, four and three after starting off 0 and 2, played better defense. Love to hear it. Um
28:08quarterback, we're looking at Michael Penix versus Geno Smith. Neither quarterback will run. Both offenses project very similarly. Honestly, it's very close.
28:18And I think it's up to you.
28:39>> Running back, I would play Amari and Hampton.
28:43Probably over Blake Corum and Jonah Coleman, but it's close. Wide receiver, you jam Garrett Wilson.
28:49And then in your flex spots, I think you're playing Jonah Coleman, Casey Concepcion.
28:55And Jaylen Waddle did get in a limited >> [sighs] >> Actually, I don't think we can go in this direction.
29:06So, let me look up the practice report with Waddle. So, based on Waddle's initial injury, I was thinking that he was going to miss a little bit of time
29:13here. But, I believe Waddle did get in a limited practice today.
29:18So, I wouldn't fault you at all if you were more excited about him.
29:24The Charbonnet call is very difficult. I would say you probably plan on going Sharbs this week. It's just going to be
29:31so dependent on the practice report stuff that you get.
29:34I think you have to play Casey Concepcion.
29:41And then for that last flex, you're going either I have Blake Corum, Jonah Coleman ranked back-to-back this week. You probably go
29:49Blake Corum if Jaylen Waddle misses. If Jaylen Waddle plays, you play Jaylen Waddle.
29:59Now, Samale here, Caleb versus Stafford, Stafford Caleb's in a really tough Actually, yeah, no, you go Stafford. Even if it's
30:10a four-point passing touchdown format where Caleb has the rushing upside.
30:13Chase Brown auto start. I would go Jordan Mason easily if Aaron Jones were to miss. Aaron Jones did practice today.
30:20St. Brown, Michael Wilson over Rome. And then in your flex spots, you're going to play the combination of Rashad White with Noja Kory Cross Kamari.
30:28And then probably Amari and Hampton.
30:30Kalen Monangai did miss practice.
30:33Battle Rangers, between Mahomes and Sam Darnold's.
30:38I think we're going to go Patrick Mahomes. I'm not excited about it given the match-up. They are back-to-back for me in my ranks this week.
30:47For the flex, you play Breida if he plays. If he doesn't, you play Luther Burden.
30:51Cousin Darnold says waivers are dry. Any suggestions here?
30:56Let me see. You're playing Jamo as well as Like Jamo obviously has a really tough match-up against Minnesota, but it is
31:06surprising to see that this Lions offense still projects out to be fine.
31:12And then I would go Jeremy Bernard. You still have no Pittman. You still have no Roman Wilson.
31:21So, you still have the safe target volume here for Bernard in this offense.
31:30Okay.
31:33Now, Breida here for the flex, we are looking at DeVonta Smith probably missing.
31:45I'd probably play Mekhi Leven. DeVonta Smith missed practice.
31:54Do you have Dontayvion Wicks missed practice as well? Saquon Barkley?
32:03So, like they have no option but to use Leven aggressively here.
32:13Harrison here at the top I'm sorry, at the flex spot. You're looking at Rashee Rice versus Jordan Mason, Rashad White.
32:20I would go Jordan Mason if Aaron Jones misses. I would go Rashee Rice if Aaron Jones plays.
32:29Now, Nippin Biscuits says, "Hey Mason, lost back-to-back weeks with Kenneth Walker and James Cook on bye. Super super deep league. My wide receivers are
32:37very thin. What moves would you make to upgrade at wide receiver? Nobody really wants Breese and Judkins is tough to sell. It's a six-point passing touchdown
32:45as well. You're the man. Keep up the great work. Appreciate you so damn much, man. I will say the first thing that's
32:50worth pointing out with this team is going to be the fact that you have to start three receivers and two flexes as
32:59well. And it's a 12-team format, so it's not like waivers are going to be loaded.
33:03So, this is a setup in which the depth matters a considerable amount. It's not like you can just straight-up ignore depth here.
33:11Now, looking at our squad, we are four and three. So, you're not in a position in which we need to panic.
33:17You're not in a position in which we need to be going through and selling off of our exciting players. Quarterback, we
33:27have Jared Goff as well as Justin Herbert.
33:31In terms of these two guys, I don't even know if Justin Herbert's worth a roster spot. I don't fault you for holding onto him
33:40just because obviously like there's a non-zero percent chance that he does look better coming out of
33:50the bye.
33:53We have four startable running backs with Walker, James Cook, Breese, and Judkins. Keep in mind also, we are able to put two of these running backs into
34:02two flex spots every week. And you only need to fill out three wide receiver slots. We have Pickens, we have Diggs,
34:08we have DJ Moore, we have Bernard.
34:11This team's legit perfect, man.
34:13Especially in a six-point passing touchdown format, obviously there at that point. Like we have Jared Goff looking way more compelling than he
34:22would in a four-point passing touchdown league because here the passing volume is going to matter a considerable amount.
34:32So, really like what we have at quarterback.
34:36Really like where we stand at running back and wide receiver.
34:40You're going to be able to start Pickens every week. Stefon Diggs in a deeper format like this should be startable as
34:45well.
34:48And then you're getting DJ Moore back now.
34:55Plus you have the non-zero percent chance that like Jamison Crowder does just hold on
35:06to this amount of targets rest of season.
35:15Man, you should leave this as is.
35:18Tight end is a massive weakness, but it's a start nine format. So tight end is going to make up a super small
35:22percentage of your starting lineup output.
35:43I'm trying to think through if there's anything that makes sense. I I get the idea of like we have so many running
35:50backs, we should go ahead and move off an RB.
36:03But you can start these four running backs
36:16every single week. I don't want you to sell Breida. I don't think you'd get enough value for him.
36:24The guy that I would be interested in selling would actually be Quintez Cephus Judkins and you already said that nobody in your league is interested.
36:31So given that context, my friend, I think you're just leaving this as is.
36:38Now serve here for the flex between Chase Brown, Allen Robinson, Rondale Stefon Diggs, Dallas Goedert.
36:46It is so close to I mean it's so easy.
36:48Chase Brown.
36:50Like man, I have to play against Chase Brown this week and I am terrified.
36:57Especially with the Tennessee Titans trading away their best defensive player.
37:08I I know this is going to sound crazy cuz I know that Chase Brown's averaging 12 and 1/2 fantasy points per game.
37:15I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we get 30 points scored from Chase Brown this week.
37:27Like that is very much a possibility.
37:31Now Matrix says, "Looking to trade some wide receiver depth. What should I do?"
37:37Okay, so it's a 10 team start eight format. You have four startable receivers. You have five guys with some value. Big thing being is that it's a
37:46double flex format.
37:49And obviously the plan would be to probably start Josh Jacobs in one of the flex spots every week. So you do have a
37:57tremendous amount of wide receiver depth. Now the problem's going to be your team's so good. What could you realistically do making a trade here?
38:10Like realistically, what would be compelling?
38:13Cuz you have the stud quarterback with Joe Burrow.
38:20You have three stud RBs with Kyren, Javonte, Josh Jacobs. You don't need the quarterback. You don't need the running backs.
38:32You have the elite tight end with Trey McBride.
38:42You have two stud receivers with Chase Neighbors. You have Parker Washington, Michael Wilson that you're excited to throw in the flexes as well.
39:00Like if you wanted to go and try to trade for a true S-tier level player such as Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs,
39:09Kenneth Walker, Ja'Marr Chase, like obviously that would be something that any team, even as strong as yours, would be excited to do.
39:20And going through and looking at a move like that, let's say you're going to try to get Bijan.
39:29It would take you selling the combination of Kyler and Parker Washington. I mean, hell yeah, if you can sell Kyler and Parker Washington and
39:35go get Bijan, your team's strong enough.
39:37Let's do it.
39:40Going and getting Jahmyr Gibbs, like yeah, if you wanted to try to sell the combination, say a Malik neighbors and Josh Jacobs, if you can go get
39:48Jahmyr Gibbs, it's a no-brainer. Let's absolutely go and do it.
39:55But that's how strong your team is. Like your team's so strong, the only thing that's worthwhile in doing is going out there and trying to make a
40:05deal where you get an S-tier level player in
40:15return.
40:17Now Jason, trading away Christian Watson and Kadarius Toney for Jordan Love and Jonathan Taylor, I personally have both Christian Watson and Jonathan Taylor on
40:25my own team. I still very much think that Jonathan Taylor is in a separate tier. I would go JT here.
40:33Now Saquon to glory, trading away Gibbs and Jaylen Warren for Kenneth Walker and Puka Nacua.
40:40Gibbs to Walker downgrade, but I think the upgrade from Jaylen Warren to Puka is way bigger than the other downgrade, so
40:47yes, you do this and you do so easily.
40:50Now, Bauer Rangers trading away Breece and Christian Watson for Zay Flowers.
40:57Leftover running back, you'd have Derrick Henry, Ashton Jeanty, Jamaal Williams, you'd have enough running back depth to do it. If it was a 10-team
41:04league, I'd be a little bit more compelled to go for this, but um I don't think we do so here.
41:17With it being a 12-team format. I think if you're selling a running back, you should be able to get a little bit more.
41:24Okay.
41:27Now, next question is from Adam. Says, "Hey Mason, hope you're well, sir.
41:32Currently three and four. Injuries and under underachievement all season. Any recommendations on what packages you think I could put together if needed?
41:42Don't feel great about my running back room and will look to stream quarterback.
41:46Example, Brissett this week. Feel like I have a lot of upside, but it's all hope.
41:52Okay.
41:55Let's pull this up. So, three and four.
42:01We have Mahomes. I completely agree with the Mahomes matchup this week. You should be looking to stream QB.
42:06But, that's very much a this week thing only.
42:12Like, please don't be thinking that you need to stream quarterback rest of season and like cut Patrick Mahomes or anything crazy.
42:23You're still very much holding on to Mahomes here.
42:28Now, running back, we have the combination of Jeanty, Jeremiah Love.
42:36So, you're presumably getting Jeremiah Love back this week and I do think that Jeremiah Love's going to be pretty damn
42:47good given the context that you have a great match up here.
42:55Wide receiver, you have Puka Nacua as well as Rashee Rice. You're getting Rashee Rice back this week.
43:06So, it looks like this was just a team that struggled simply because you had injuries.
43:19Like, obviously you missed big on Amari Cooper, but you're hopefully going to get Jordan Tyson back in week nine as well, or we're going to get to see
43:26Jordan Tyson finally for the first time ever.
43:47Yeah, I think your team's fine. I'm in complete agreement.
43:52Go through stream quarterback this week.
43:54Play Jacoby Brissett over Patrick Mahomes. It would be different if you were two and five, right? If you were two and five,
44:01I would maybe say, "Yeah, let's go ahead and let's make a dramatic move to sell some of these longer-term pieces
44:12and just get some points in this lineup right now. Let's see if we can get any value at all for Jordan Tyson, right?"
44:20But, uh let's see what we can get for Jeremiah Love. But, if you're three and four with a real chance to win this week
44:28based on your team, I don't think that's something you need to do. I think you're in a position in which you could very easily survive
44:34here.
44:36But, I really appreciate you. I'm I'm sorry.
44:40I wish I had more for you, man.
44:42But, I think that you shouldn't panic about having Jeremiah Love. I think Love is ultimately going to be just fine.
44:52Now, going to Z Milly, trading away Justin Jefferson as I mean he's getting back a future first, second, third, as well
45:01as Breece Hall.
45:05We are labeled as a strong contender here. You don't really need running back. You don't really You kind of need receiver more than you
45:11do RB. This is a fine trade here with this being a superflex 10-team league cuz obviously that's going to push the
45:17value of the picks up a little bit, but definitely not something I think you need to do, but it's a fine trade if you wanted to go
45:25for it.
45:28Okay.
45:29Now, Priyan Keys trading away Puka Nacua for Malik Nabers, Justin Jefferson.
45:40Okay.
45:44It is a 14-team start nine format.
45:48So, with a lot of the leagues that we look at that are like 10-team two wide receiver one flex, I would say, "Ah, you
45:54know what? Probably not that interesting. Blah, blah, blah." No. If you're in a 14-team start nine league, it is going to be so difficult
46:04to find starters here that it is an absolute no-brainer for you to go ahead and just make the play to
46:14get Nabers and Justin Jefferson.
46:21You have to do it.
46:24Like, starters are going to be so tough to come by.
46:27Now, I Grayson here receiver, I would go Omar probably over L- I think you probably plan on Omar and Ladd.
46:39You very easily could talk me into Zach Charbonnet though if Zach Charbonnet Price doesn't play.
46:45And you could very easily talk me into Elijah Mitchell if they tell us point-blank that he is the starting running back and he is going to see the
46:53majority of the work.
46:55But, I do like that you have Elijah Mitchell on the team. I think he should be rostered in every league. I mean, that
47:00is a very, very tough in terms of the starting lineup call.
47:04J Mo says, "I don't know who to start at tight end and flex. Please help and thank you." Thank you, my friend. Tight
47:09end I would probably go Chig over Harold Fannin with no Terry McLaurin.
47:15And then going to the flex, if Jaylen Waddle plays, you play Waddle. If he doesn't, I personally would probably play Jonah Coleman over Caleb Douglas.
47:26There's really no world in which I want to be starting Caleb Douglas this week.
47:30I know he's flashed an insane amount when he's been healthy, but the volume just hasn't been there and the offense is so bad.
47:39Now, it's JP's trading away Christian McCaffrey, Malik Neighbors, getting back Bijan as well as Christian Watson.
47:46So, CMC to Bijan, upgrade. Neighbors to Watson, downgrade. Very fair deal. Up to you. I hope it works out for you. I got
47:53Christian Watson on my own team.
47:55But, very fair trade. I think that is again going to be up to you.
48:01Breaker is trading away Chase Brown and Josh Jacobs with a couple dud pieces for Nico
48:10Collins and Amari Hampton.
48:14Again, I am a little bit of a crazy person here. I completely understand that a lot of people disagree with me and I get
48:21where they're coming from. Where Chase Brown's averaging 12 and 1/2 fantasy points per game.
48:26And if you really think that Chase Brown's not going to be able to turn it around, I get you wanting to go out there and
48:32you wanting to make this trade. And by all means, go for it.
48:36But, for me, I can't.
48:40For me, I have to take the Chase Brown and Josh Jacobs side.
48:47I think that there is a very realistic case that Chase Brown is better than Nico Collins rest of season.
48:57Obviously, that is not been the case so far. I get it. You don't even have to tell me.
49:02But, I think that is a possibility.
49:07Now, Justin wins with our next question.
49:16Says, "Off to a great season, first in division, but now with a fellow Taylor owners, Smith and Evans banged up. Do I
49:23need to make move a piece to stay in first? Love the channel, sir. Appreciate I really appreciate you, man. And I will
49:30be honest that you are going to be in a a very difficult position. Six and one, number one team in this league, but the
49:38problem that we're going to run into here is starters are going to be so tough to come by.
49:47This is a league in which you have to start two receivers and three flexes.
49:54And there are 14 teams in this league.
49:58So, if you're losing out on both, say Mike Evans and DeVonta Smith with injuries, you just naturally get put into such a
50:09difficult spot.
50:12Now, quarterback, you have the combination of Dak Prescott as well as C.J. Stroud. So, 14-team league, we are A-OK to play the matchups here, no
50:21questions asked, right?
50:24Going to where we stand at running back, we have the combination of Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift,
50:35Josh Jacobs.
50:37We somehow have three startable RBs.
50:40Even if JT's outlook going into the future is much worse than it what it has been.
50:47You're still in a very comfortable spot having like Jonathan Taylor as an RB1 in a
50:5714-team format, and then Swift is your RB2 a 14-team league.
51:04Jacobs your running back room is incredible.
51:07And again, going back to what I would be most concerned about, it would just be do we have the bodies? Do we have enough
51:12startable pieces to get by?
51:15And you have Golden, Pickens.
51:17Obviously Smith injured. You were able to get Omar Cooper and Mecole Hardman off waivers to save you.
51:24I have no idea how you have a team that's this good given your league settings.
51:30Like I would almost think that you lose two injured wide receivers here, you're cooked chicken because it'd be so tough to find starters.
51:38But you still are in a very comfortable spot.
51:46Tight ends is definitely our weakest position. There's no way you could afford to go out there and trade for a better tight end.
51:55Just knowing that again, you need to start up like five wide receivers here a week and two your guys are currently
52:01hurt.
52:09I would cut Davis Allen though. I know Davis Allen had a couple touchdowns this past week, but Davis Allen is averaging
52:15two targets per game. It's not like he's a spring chicken. This man's been in the NFL since 2023.
52:22And Tyler Higbee is currently averaging four and a half targets per game. So over double what Davis Allen is. So I
52:29get it. Davis Allen was the much better name this past week. I think you have an incredible team man. I hate to say this.
52:36I wish I had something else and something different to say.
52:42But I would just cut Davis Allen, pick up Tyler Higbee to have another shot at tight ends.
52:54And you're 6-1, you can afford to wait for these injured guys to come back and you and me, we can both send up prayers
53:00that Jonathan Taylor ends up getting dealt over to the Minnesota Vikings.
53:07That's my hope here, my friend.
53:09But, I really appreciate you and I hope I was able to help you out in some way with this.
53:16Now, Mayday trading away Etienne, Blake Corum, Malik Nabers for CMC. It's a 12 team, two receiver, one flex league. You have enough wide receiver production.
53:26So, yeah. I think you can afford to do this if you want. I'll be less excited about it if it was a double flex format.
53:31Stein trading away Chase Brown or Rashee Rice for Achane and Jeanty.
53:35Generally, I don't want to be trading away Chase Brown right now. Rashee Rice, your wide receiver room is so damn good
53:41that he may not even hit your lineup.
53:44So, yeah. I think you can make this deal, but that's mainly because again, your team is just very, very strong.
53:52Now, IBM W here for the flex. You play Lad McConkey over like Jaylen Wright and Antonio Williams and Cheg. Lad did get
54:01in another full practice this week.
54:05Okay.
54:07Now, Starry Night here at quarterback.
54:12You have Jacoby Brissett in a very good streaming spot against the Dallas Cowboys.
54:21Going to running back, we have Chase Brown as going to absolutely smash this week. Jordan Mason, if you have no Aaron Jones is going to smash. Receiver,
54:31you play Rice, Jamo, and in between Lad, Boston, I go Lad, but it's close. And then in your flex, we are going to play
54:38Ali Gordon. If Tajae Spears misses, that's where you could pivot over, and that's where you could look at Tony Pollard.
54:47Mecross is not sure to trade Nico to upgrade or get upside. Trying to win this season, do we make a move?
54:55So, looking at this, this is a super flex league.
55:02We obviously lost Jalen Hurts.
55:06Leftover, you would have Flowers, Wilson. I don't know if you can afford to do this, man.
55:13I don't know if you have the depth. If DeVonta Smith gets shut down for the season, you'd be put in way too difficult of a
55:21spot.
55:22So, I like I get it.
55:25Fair value in a dynasty superflex league, if you wanted to go out there and you wanted to make this trade, but
55:36man, it's tough to do so. It really is.
55:40Now, Buddy King says, "In a 10-team superflex league, I'm number one right now, but I have to face JSN and Bijan
55:46this week." Well, I am wishing you the best of luck here, my friend. You're obviously starting both quarterbacks.
55:52The best player you currently have on your bench is Matthew Golden. Golden is going to play tonight. Obviously, it wouldn't be that big of a surprise if he
55:59is a little bit limited, just given the fact that he didn't really practice at any point this week.
56:08Yeah, you can't get him in your lineup.
56:10Your team's just too good, so.
56:12You leave this as is. Your team's so good, you should trade for a better tight end, man. You can afford it.
56:18Now, Solar Storm says, "Mostly curious about what to do with the flex spots.
56:22The starters are obvious." Yeah, the starters you have Walker, JT, obvious.
56:28CD Lamb, Rashee Rice, obvious. Tight ends, we have Kyle Pitts as a streamer until we get Kittle back. And your flex,
56:37I would be very shocked if Barkley ends up playing. I think I would go with the safe play of Rashad White with no
56:44Jacquory Cross-Merritt. He is just going to get a safe amount of volume. And then going over to the last flex spot, it's
56:51going to come down to DJ Moore or Stefon Diggs. I think Diggs gives you the floor, DJ Moore gives you that ceiling.
56:58I don't exactly know what direction we want to go just yet. DJ Moore still is in the non-contact jersey. You can
57:04potentially use that as a tiebreaker if you would like.
57:10See, yeah, maybe you just go ahead and you just plan on rolling with Stefon Diggs as of now.
57:21And says, "Trying to move off JT not for anybody specific." Um so, I would love to trade Jonathan Taylor off my team as
57:28well, man. Um I went out there and I sent a couple offers previously. I know I'm not going to get Amon-Ra St. Brown
57:35for him. Um the team in my league that has Ja'Marr Chase is desperate desperate for a running back, so I offered
57:43Jonathan Taylor for I don't know.
57:57Uh for Ja'Marr Chase.
58:00But if you can get this done, you do it.
58:05It's a no-brainer deal.
58:07But it's just going to be so so much easier said than done. Like, I don't know exactly who's trading for JT right
58:12now.
58:13I think that if you are sending him off, you would most likely need to be trading him for a receiver to a very running
58:21back needy team.
58:23Okay.
58:25Now, Lex man, here for wide receiver.
58:29You're going to be playing Rac Actually, I don't know, man.
58:38Tight ends, between Tucker Kraft and Kincaid, they are very close.
58:43I like Kincaid's setup more, but the problem is you're just in a difficult spot with him practicing with the non-contactors jersey. There is a
58:51non-zero percent chance that he ends up missing, which obviously you would have to make that call tonight cuz Kincaid plays tonight.
59:00I think I'd go Michael Wilson and Rashee Rice and bench Luther Burden just because the Bears have the worst matchup you could ask for going up against the
59:07Seattle Seahawks.
59:09Big Woolly trading away Bayshell Tooten and Drake London for Bijan. Yes, you do this. You don't think twice about it. Um
59:15it's a two receiver one flex league where it looks like you have enough running back production um and enough wide receiver depth if Tyjae
59:23Spears does manage to come back this next week.
59:25FS, "I say bro, I'm 5 and 2, but I feel fraudulent."
59:29You're 5 and 2, wide receiver two sucks.
59:31Between Latavius Murray and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, I'd go Ke'Shawn Vaughn. You play Rhamondre in the flex.
59:37I mean, we have Tyjae Spears missing practice yet again, so it looks like Rhamondre is just straight up the starting running back here.
59:44Which obviously, if that is going to be the case, you'll love to see it because it gives you a very flexible player every single
59:52week.
59:55Now, In Delucia is trading away Amon-Ra St.
60:00Brown for Chase Brown and Justin Jefferson.
60:06Okay.
60:21You have almost an identical running back room to me with Jonathan Taylor, Travis Etienne, Rachaad White, and Seth McGowan. Like our teams are very
60:29similar, man.
60:31Team would be identical to mine you get Jefferson. I don't know if you need to make this trade. I don't know how like I
60:36know this week it looks rough when Neighbors on bye.
60:40But I don't know if your depth is down bad enough where you have to do this.
60:51Again, you can if you want.
60:56But the real scenario in which I would want to make this play is one in which like you're desperate at running back
61:14and you have startable names. Like, starting Rashad White this week is very doable for you.
61:24Now, VP Gorman says, "I got offered this. I'm 6-1 and I'm in first place.
61:30Stafford to Mahomes upgrade, St. Brown to Gibbs upgrade, Breece to Olave upgrade, and you're but you're having to pay McBride to get it done.
61:406-1, we want to think about long-term upside here. Obviously, you're getting the best player in the deal with Jahmyr Gibbs.
61:51So, St. Brown to Gibbs, give me Gibbs.
61:52McBride to Olave, give me McBride.
61:55Paying Breece to get it done. Cuz Stafford like Stafford, Mahomes, Kelce are tiny pieces of this deal.
62:03The meat and potatoes are you're trading Breece, Amon-Ra, McBride for Gibbs and Olave.
62:09And you're also getting an upgraded quarterback and a tight end in return.
62:14It's a fair deal, man. I would say typically, I don't love the five-player for four-player trades where you're trading away your entire team for their
62:22entire team.
62:26It is a fair trade, and you can go for it if you'd like.
62:33Now, Hunter Gone with our next question.
62:38Says, "Yo, Mason. Always enjoying the content. Best to do in the space.
62:42Um hands down every year." Thank you so much, man. Looking to package up some players and get rid of depth for a
62:49playoff push. Any trade partners that you see fit?
62:53Any guys like Warren, Kincaid, etc."
62:55Appreciate that. Appreciate you, man.
62:57I'm excited to look at this for you.
63:00So, this is a 10-team start-8 format.
63:02You start two receivers, two flex spots.
63:05Right now, we're 4-3. We have scored the second most points in this league.
63:11So, looks like we're probably third in the league standings.
63:17Okay, first things first, Dalton Kincaid should not be on the waiver wire. I would cut Brevin Strange for Dalton Kincaid. I mean, so far this season, we
63:24have Strange the Titan 12 this year in points per game. Kincaid is the Titan 11, so I guess they're not that far
63:30apart, but I would still go ahead and cut Strange for Kincaid.
63:35And I would also say that Jonah Coleman absolutely needs to be rostered in every single league as well.
63:41And Rico Dowdle.
63:50We have the elite quarterback with Drake May.
63:54Running back, we have Gente, Jaylen Warren, Ali Gordon, Ramondre Stevenson, you have four starters. It's very clear, you just have way too much depth.
64:05And names on the waiver wire are super strong as well.
64:13Like if you're able to go over to waivers and just pick up Jonah Coleman for free.
64:21Pick up Rico Dowdle for free.
64:24Emmett Johnson for free. Kincaid for free.
64:29Like we need to be selling wide receiver pieces and seeing if we can get upgrades inside the starting lineup.
64:36The problem is in a 10-team league, can we find somebody to want to do that with us, right? Like selling the combination
64:42of Ali Gordon and Casey Concepcion would be such a no-brainer for you.
64:47Like if you could go Ali Gordon and Concepcion and look at the running back ranges, where if you can potentially get
64:53up to the guys like say Josh Jacobs. I mean, that is an absolute no-brainer.
64:58Jacobs may not be possible. You may instead be looking at like the Jeremiah Loves.
65:04Or maybe this seems like a little aggressive to pay the price on, but I mean, you can just go to the waiver wire
65:10and pick up somebody for legit free.
65:13I would also look to up tier from like Jaylen Warren. Again, if you could go through and trade like Jaylen Warren and
65:18Jaylen Waddle and try to move up to the range where you're getting a running back in return like Kyren Williams. I think that this
65:26would be a absolute no-brainer for you as well because again, you'd be able to go right over to the waiver wire and
65:32with your open roster spot, pick up like Jonah Coleman for free.
65:37So, your team is so damn strong, but the problem is, like you have Ramondre, Jaylen Waddle, Denzel Boston, Jeremy Bernard, Jordan Dyson, Casey Concepcion.
65:47You have so many of these players on your bench that it's like a lot of value that's not doing anything for you.
65:56So, I would love, if possible, for you to go and try to make a two-for-one deal to upgrade the lineup pretty much
66:01anywhere.
66:03And also, of course, if you could go out there and try to trade for a tight end, you would cuz I mean you don't need this
66:09much wide receiver depth. Like if you could take the combination of Zay Flowers and Dallas Goedert and get over to Trey McBride,
66:17like I know a lot of people may want the Zay Flowers side of this, but I mean hell, if you have this much production
66:22at wide receiver, can't hurt to just go out there and get the elite tight ends.
66:29But, I I wish I had more for you, man, but you I mean your team's absolutely incredible here.
66:37And you do need to try to trade off some of your bench pieces to get upgrades inside the starting lineup almost no
66:42matter where it is.
66:44Globes to the Domes trading away Kyren, Christian Watson for Brevin Jordan, T.J.
66:49Chark. Jamar like Chase is the best player in the deal, and I think the delta between Jamar Chase and Kyren Williams is a lot larger
66:59than the delta between Christian Watson and Brevin Jordan. You also get the benefit on top of this of Brevin Jordan and Jamar Chase both
67:11already being through their bye, so you're getting an extra game from both, so that's an absolute no-brainer for me.
67:20Now, lowly linebackers here running back, you play Rashad White over Amari Cooper and Blake Corum. At least in my mind. Maybe I'm biased
67:31because I have Rashad White in my own lineup this week.
67:34But with Rashad White, he played almost like 70% of the snaps a week ago.
67:39And the Commanders are pretty big favorites here over the Philadelphia Eagles. So, I think Rashad White's a comfortable play.
67:50I love the usage as a receiver, of course, as well.
67:53Now, I hate injuries. Says, "Hey Mason, I'm struggling with who to start. Need your kingly wisdom. Picked up Cousins.
68:00Is he a better start than Sam Darnold?"
68:04I think that they're in a similar range, like a similar tier.
68:11Chat, please spam Who would you rather have? Would you rather have Darnold or Cousins?
68:16I will give you my answer, but I want um to see what y'all have to say cuz I have
68:39a very clear reason on who I want. We have Cousins, Darnold, Cousins, Darnold.
68:47Cousins, Cousins, Cousins, Cousins, Cousins, Cousins.
68:51I would go Darnold personally. I think the median projection for both guys is very similar.
69:01But what I would be looking at is the possibility that if the
69:16Raiders are losing by 20 points to the Jets at halftime based on the past 2 weeks of this team falling
69:26out of the game right away and then just having to play themselves back into it later on.
69:32That happens against the Jets. I think there is a non-zero percent chance that we see Fernando Mendoza.
69:40Where in my mind there's no way that Sam Darnold's getting benched.
69:44So, I would go Darnold.
69:47Cuz I think they project out similarly, but I think the risk that you take with Cousins is he may not play the entire
69:54game where that risk is just nonexistent with Darnold. Running back, Chase Brown auto start. Wide receiver,
70:03I probably go Jeremy Bernard, but it's close.
70:08I I you could ask me this question.
70:10Anybody but Rondale Moore. Say and then in the flex, I think you plan on going with Rhamondre Stevenson. I know Treylon
70:16missed practice.
70:18And if Treylon misses, Rhamondre is just in an absolute smash spot given the setup that you have with him going up
70:25against I mean, the Miami Dolphins where the Patriots
70:37are seven-point favorites. They should be able to run the ball over and over again.
70:43Now, here Jay Guzman for the flex, you do have the option of playing Trey Tucker and I would consider
70:52it. Tucker's been very good over the past few weeks.
70:57If you wanted to get Tucker in there over a Carnell Tate, I would not fault you at all for it.
71:04Okay, let me filter out the steam reviews real quick.
71:09Nate I'm sorry, Nate's Nep.
71:13Here running back between Jeremiah Love, Breece, Barkley, Jacobs. You play Jacobs and Breece. Breece is good to go. Wide receiver, Jamar and CeeDee Lamb are your
71:23auto starts. You have Harold Landry at tight end. And then I would plan on going Jeremiah Love. I think more likely
71:30than not you end up seeing Saquon Barkley miss.
71:37And Jeremiah Love is a great matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
71:43So yeah, I think you plan on playing Jeremiah Love.
71:47Okay.
71:50Now our next question is from Not Link.
71:53Trading away Breece, Bralon Allen, and Justin Jefferson for Ginte and Colston Loveland.
72:08I would rather have Ginte over the Jets running backs, but I don't know if I'm willing to add Jefferson to it.
72:15Over the next 3 weeks Justin Jefferson has the best schedule of any wide receiver in the NFL.
72:23So personally, I would not trade Jefferson away until you at least see the next three games.
72:33At the very minimum. I don't think you can sell Jefferson. So I would keep the Jets and Jets running backs and Jets there.
72:44Now here from Ted does fantasy.
72:48For the flex, you play Rashad White over Amari Cooper and Rico Dowdle.
72:56Again, I think Rashad White's a comfortable play this week. He's playing 70% of the snaps. No Jacquory Crosskey Merritt.
73:04While at the same time, like they are pretty big favorites, so
73:16they should be able to run the ball in the second half.
73:18Now Pancheto trading away Amon-Ra for Jeremiah Love and a future first. Yeah, you're labeled as a strong rebuilder, man. So trading away Saint Brown for
73:26Jeremiah Love and a future first in dynasty is an absolute no-brainer even if it has no chance of being an early
73:32first, I would still go ahead and do that.
73:35Now, B Grenade here's trading away the combination of De'Andre Swift, Tetairoa McMillan, and Carnell Tate
73:44for Brevin Jordan and Nico Collins.
73:48Swift to Jordan, lateral move, up to you. Tetairoa McMillan to Nico, upgrade.
73:53You're paying Carnell Tate to get it done.
73:57You have wide receiver depth. I think that this is a fair trade. It's up to you.
74:04Again, I understand every single week you have no Kyren Williams and De'Andre Swift is a set it and forget it top 10 RB. I just don't know if that's
74:16going to be the case when Kyren Williams comes back, and I think he may look um a little bit more like a running
74:21back, too.
74:22Now, Squirt Dom's trading away Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison for Jahmyr Gibbs and Marvin Harrison.
74:34So, a 10-team start nine format, Xavier Worthy would be your wide receiver three.
74:39I think if it was a two receiver, one flex, I would do it, but the league is too deep where there's no way you can do
74:44this, in my opinion.
74:46I think you got to keep Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison.
74:50Now, Zorb B Axon here for your running back spot, Josh Jacobs, you have to play him tonight instead of Quinton Johnston,
74:57very easy. Tee Higgins is an auto start as well, and then they're in your flexes. I would plan on going with Drake
75:04London as an auto start, and then Johnston, Jaylen Wright, Rachaad White is very tough.
75:11I'm assuming, yeah, this is a full PPR format.
75:15I know almost anybody watching this live stream right now would say, "Okay, you really want to go through, you really want to take
75:24um Quinton Johnston because typically YouTube wants you to go after the guys that just had the big game and obviously Quinshon Judkins just had
75:35multiple rushing touchdowns.
75:39But, I don't know.
75:53Man's not going to see the receiving work out of the backfield. That is going to go to D'Onta Foreman. The offense
75:58going to be garbage.
76:04I would rather have Rachaad White over Quinshon Judkins.
76:08And then Jamo, I also have him on my own fantasy team. I don't know if I can say Jamo just cuz the match-up's tough.
76:15Um I love you, Mason. Love you, too, my friend. Here between Lawrence and Drake May, I'm going to go Trevor Lawrence. I
76:21think the expectation will be that A.J.
76:23Brown is not playing this weekend.
76:27Going to wide receiver, you auto start Parker Washington. In tight end, do you have Kincaid? And then I would flex Brevin Jordan here. Jaylen Coker would
76:36be intriguing, but one, Thursday night weirdness, and two, on top of this, you're obviously in a spot in which you had the Panthers collapse last week. So,
76:46if you have a really strong option, I don't think you need to play Jaylen Coker.
76:52But, I'm going to be live streaming on the Flock League channel for um the entire Thursday night game. I'm sure you already know this by now, but
77:03every Thursday night game, um we are live on the Flock League channel watching it. I am also going to be rooting heavily
77:13on one Mr. Christian Watson, rooting against Tutu Atwell and McMillan, even though McMillan's one of my most drafted wide receivers on the year. Just no team
77:23matters more than the Flock League for me. I think that's obvious.
77:27So, I very much need a big Watson game.
77:29I need a Tutu Atwell and McMillan dud.
77:32But, the game kicks off in about 35 minutes. Mrs. Flock is actually on her bachelorette trip.
77:40So, I don't have somebody to help me with dinner.
77:46So, I think I'm going to go grab dinner before that stream.
77:51Um I'm very sorry. I know we have a few team reviews to get to. These will be the first things that we do in the live
77:59stream tomorrow. And even if you're not out in that stream, it's going to be sent to you with an email with a custom
78:05link that will take you right to your review so you don't have to worry about missing it.
78:09But yeah, let me run to get some dinner. I will be back on this channel after the game talking about everything, updating rankings if we need
78:20to, if there's anything big that happened. And also again, I'll be watching the game live on the Flock League channel, but
78:27we're rooting for Christian Watson. I hope you are, too. Much love, appreciate you.
