Alvin Kamara

PositiveSleeper38:11

Ashton Genty recommends adding Alvin Kamara as a handcuff running back, noting he could become a must-start if Travis Etienne Jr. misses time; Genty also prefers rostering Kamara over Deon Stribbling.

Blake Corum

NegativeValue15:38

Ashton Genty suggests exploring the possibility of trading Blake Corum to upgrade the wide receiver position, noting that wide receiver depth is more critical than running back depth for this specific roster. While Corum was not startable recently, Genty highlights that he received usage inside the five-yard line, suggesting future improvement. Long-term, Genty favors the combination of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum for contract decisions.

Braelon Allen

NegativeSleeper14:57

Ashton Genty identifies Braelon Allen as a preferred roster stash as a clear handcuff, but also suggests selling him alongside Dallas Goedert to consolidate assets and upgrade the tight end position.

Breece Hall

PositiveInjury5:05

Breece Hall is confirmed to be healthy and good to go for the Sunday opener against Tennessee, which aligns with previous expectations.

Brian Thomas Jr.

NegativeProjection14:47

Ashton Genty advises holding Brian Thomas Jr. to evaluate his performance and potential upside before committing to any roster-altering trades.

Bucky Irving

NegativeValue50:17

Ashton Genty suggests using Bucky Irving as a trade asset, specifically packaging him with a tight end like Dallas Goedert to upgrade to a higher-tier tight end.

Caleb Douglas

NegativeDepth Chart21:46

Ashton Genty advises cutting Caleb Douglas from the roster to make room for higher-upside players on the waiver wire, noting he is unlikely to be a valuable keeper.

Carnell Tate

NegativeValue45:36

Ashton Genty recommends selling Carnell Tate, potentially alongside running backs, to consolidate assets and acquire a higher-tier wide receiver.

Chris Olave

PositiveValue44:04

Chris Olave is identified as a high-value trade target to pursue by packaging depth pieces.

Christian McCaffrey

NegativeProjection11:04

Ashton Genty maintains that Christian McCaffrey is a phenomenal RB1 and advises against panicking after a poor week one performance, noting the game context involved a blowout against the Rams where the team leaned on Kalin Black. Genty explicitly advises holding McCaffrey rather than selling him.

Christian Watson

PositiveValue1:42

Christian Watson is currently preferred over AJ Brown in fantasy rankings, particularly in 12-team double-flex leagues where depth is critical. Ashton Genty holds Watson on his own roster and would decline a trade to swap him for the injured AJ Brown.

Chuba Hubbard

NegativeRole92:20

Ashton Genty is skeptical of Chuba Hubbard's long-term fantasy outlook, though he advises waiting until after Week 1 to evaluate his role, noting there is still a possibility he remains the full-blown starting running back for the Carolina Panthers.

Colston Loveland

PositiveValue38:01

Ashton Genty identifies Colston Loveland as a target for a potential trade involving Travis Kelce.

Courtland Sutton

NegativeValue16:13

Ashton Genty suggests packaging Courtland Sutton with a running back like Blake Corum in a trade to acquire a wide receiver that the owner would feel more comfortable starting.

D'Andre Swift

NegativeRole5:35

Ashton Genty states that D'Andre Swift's contract extension does not change his fantasy ranking, as he was already locked in as the starting running back for the Chicago Bears.

Dallas Goedert

NegativeValue83:55

Ashton Genty identifies Dallas Goedert as a trade asset to be packaged with running backs like Kyren Williams, Braelon Allen, or Jaylen Warren to upgrade to elite tight ends such as Trey McBride or Tyler Warren.

Darnell Mooney

NegativeUsage15:06

Ashton Genty suggests that Darnell Mooney is a player who could be cut to make room for higher-upside handcuffs.

David Montgomery

NegativeValue11:04

Ashton Genty classifies David Montgomery as part of a phenomenal RB1/RB2 duo in 14-team leagues, but recommends selling him as a trade piece to package for upgrades at wide receiver or tight end due to excess running back depth.

DeVonta Smith

NegativeValue96:52

Ashton Genty classifies DeVonta Smith as a veteran asset; if the team is not a contender, he should be considered a prime candidate to be sold.

Emari Demercado

NegativeDepth Chart5:21

Following the injury to Malik Davis, Emari Demercado has moved up the depth chart as the direct handcuff for the Dallas backfield. However, he remains a deep-league stash only, ranked around RB64, and is not recommended for starting lineups unless an injury occurs to the starter.

Emeka Egbuka

PositiveValue85:24

Ashton Genty expresses high confidence in Emeka Egbuka for Week 1, noting he expects him to crush, but suggests using him as a trade asset alongside pieces like Braelon Allen to package for a higher-tier wide receiver like Nico Collins.

Jalen Hurts

NegativeUsage20:18

Jalen Hurts is currently rostered as the starting quarterback, with Ashton Genty acknowledging his role on the team.

Jalen McMillan

NegativeBust89:01

Ashton Genty recommends cutting Jalen McMillan to prioritize higher-upside handcuff running backs and suggests that managers in certain league formats should consider selling him to upgrade at the running back position.

Jayden Daniels

NegativeProjection27:03

Ashton Genty warns that Jayden Daniels may struggle in the immediate short term, but emphasizes his long-term value as a fantasy asset due to his rushing upside.

Jaylen Waddle

NegativeBust42:55

Ashton Genty characterizes Jaylen Waddle as a weak WR1 in 10-team leagues and suggests packaging him with Quentin Johnston to trade up for higher-tier assets like Chris Olave or Rashee Rice.

Jaylen Warren

NegativeValue84:13

Ashton Genty suggests using Jaylen Warren as a trade asset to upgrade at tight end, specifically recommending he be packaged with Dallas Goedert to acquire high-end options like Tyler Warren.

Jonah Coleman

PositiveSleeper21:49

Ashton Genty recommends picking up Jonah Coleman, noting he has a higher ceiling than Caleb Douglas and potential value if J.K. Dobbins suffers an injury. Genty is also monitoring his usage in Washington to see if he emerges as the clear lead back.

Jonathan Taylor

NegativeValue96:52

Ashton Genty identifies Jonathan Taylor as a veteran asset on the roster; if the team is not a contender, he should be considered a prime candidate to be sold.

Jonathon Brooks

PositiveRole23:43

Ashton Genty identifies Jonathan Brooks as one of three startable running back options for a 14-team league roster.

Jordan Addison

NegativeValue47:28

Ashton Genty suggests packaging Jordan Addison with other players like David Montgomery to trade up for higher-tier wide receivers such as Ladd McConkey.

Jordan Mason

PositiveRole24:17

Ashton Genty suggests Jordan Mason may be a straight-up startable running back option.

Josh Jacobs

NegativeUsage88:27

Ashton Genty notes that Josh Jacobs appears likely to avoid a full-season absence, which impacts the value of his backups; Genty also discusses Jacobs as a running back depth piece whose arrival influenced team roster construction.

Kyren Williams

NegativeValue83:48

While identified as the RB1 on the roster, Ashton Genty suggests selling Kyren Williams as part of a package deal with players like Dallas Goedert to acquire a top-end tight end like Trey McBride, citing an excess of running back depth.

Ladd McConkey

PositiveProjection7:14

Ladd McConkey is recommended as a safer start than Malik Nabers for the week, given the uncertainty surrounding Nabers' injury status for the Sunday night game.

Malik Davis

NegativeInjury3:49

Malik Davis has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Giants due to a hip injury suffered in practice. He is undergoing further evaluation, and his fantasy value is effectively zero.

MarShawn Lloyd

NegativeBreakout37:05

Ashton Genty identifies MarShawn Lloyd as a potential breakout candidate who could be a massive hit, but warns of injury or performance risks for Week 1 and suggests he may be a trade candidate in 10-team leagues where interest is low.

Michael Pittman

NegativeValue48:13

Michael Pittman Jr. was recently moved in a trade package alongside Terry McLaurin to acquire a high-end running back.

Nico Collins

PositiveValue85:34

Ashton Genty identifies Nico Collins as a priority target for managers looking to upgrade their wide receiver room by trading away depth pieces like Emeka Egbuka.

Omar Cooper Jr.

PositiveSleeper10:09

Ashton Genty recommends Omar Cooper as a potential waiver wire pickup for fantasy teams, suggesting he is a target to monitor based on week one performance.

Quentin Johnston

NegativeRole14:47

Ashton Genty views Quentin Johnston as a viable flex option in specific league formats and advises holding him to evaluate his usage. However, Genty also suggests packaging him with players like Jaylen Waddle in trades to acquire higher-tier assets like Chris Olave.

Rashee Rice

PositiveValue11:14

Ashton Genty identifies Rashee Rice as a solid piece in the wide receiver room and a desirable trade target. Genty suggests that pivoting from lower-tier wide receivers like Jaylen Waddle to acquire Rice in two-for-one deals is a clear win for a roster.

Rashid Shaheed

NegativeBust39:03

Ashton Genty explicitly advises cutting Rashid Shaheed from fantasy rosters, despite acknowledging that his poor Week 1 performance was largely due to Sam Darnold's injury rather than a lack of talent.

Rhamondre Stevenson

NegativeValue46:54

Ashton Genty suggests using Rhamondre Stevenson as a trade asset, specifically packaging him with Tucker Kraft to pursue a tight end upgrade like Trey McBride.

RJ Harvey

NegativeDepth Chart26:53

Ashton Genty identifies R.J. Harvey as the RB2 on the current roster.

NegativeRole93:27

Ashton Genty notes that RJ Harvey is currently viewed as the full-blown starting running back in Denver, though he advises against panic-trading for him; he is also listed as the RB2 on the current roster.

Terry McLaurin

NegativeValue48:13

Terry McLaurin was recently moved in a trade package alongside Michael Pittman Jr. to acquire a high-end running back.

Travis Etienne

NegativeInjury31:59

Ashton Genty highlights Travis Etienne Jr.'s health as a critical conditional factor for the fantasy value of his handcuff, Alvin Kamara.

Travis Kelce

NegativeValue37:12

Ashton Genty suggests using Travis Kelce as a trade asset, potentially packaging him to upgrade to Colston Loveland if the team needs to pivot.

Trey McBride

PositiveValue83:55

Ashton Genty identifies Trey McBride as a high-priority trade target, suggesting managers package depth running backs and tight ends—such as David Montgomery, Tucker Kraft, Kyren Williams, or Dallas Goedert—to acquire him, calling the move a no-brainer.

Tucker Kraft

NegativeValue46:31

Ashton Genty suggests using Tucker Kraft as a trade piece, packaging him with running backs like David Montgomery to upgrade to a superior tight end option like Trey McBride.

Tyler Warren

PositiveValue84:13

Ashton Genty highlights Tyler Warren as a desirable tight end upgrade that managers should target by trading away depth pieces like Jaylen Warren and Dallas Goedert.

Xavier Worthy

NegativeProjection14:47

Ashton Genty advises holding Xavier Worthy to evaluate his production, noting that he represents part of the team's current upside potential.

Episode Transcript

0:00All right, let's talk about the injuries that we've had today and there have been quite a few. Well, first things first,

0:07injury that happened a while ago. AJ Brown is going to be expected to miss the next four weeks. Now, we talked

0:13about high ankle sprain obviously in the live stream yesterday, but at that time, he had not been placed on the IR yet.

0:20And now that he is on the IR and they put him here this quickly, I mean, it does give us even more confirmation that

0:26this is somebody that you cannot rely upon at the very minimum for the next four weeks. But it's very possible he's

0:34not back in week six. He's not back in week seven. He's not back in week eight.

0:38It's very possible this is something that keeps keeps him out six, seven, eight weeks. And on top of that, even when he does come back, who knows if

0:48he's going to be hobbled? Who knows if he's going to be 100%. So, as I go through and as I look at my rankings and

0:55try to figure out where we need to put him, um I think I would actually move him down further than where we did in

1:02yesterday's liveream. Yesterday's live stream, I still had him ahead of Christian Watson, but I have Christian Watson on my own fantasy team. And if

1:09the AG Brown owner would reach out to me and want to swap, I'd probably say no.

1:14I'd probably rather have Christian Watson. Now, of course, my fantasy league is a 12 team double flex. Depth is going to matter a little bit more

1:21than a 10 team single flex. So, if you're playing in a 10 team single flex league, then by all means have AJ Brown

1:28higher than this because you don't need to be able to start names like Devonte Adams, DJ Moore, Christian Watson, Terry McLaren, etc., etc. But here, um, I

1:37think that it is very, very tough to assume that AJ Brown's going to make a significant impact in fantasy football at this point. Now going over and

1:46looking at some of the other stuff that we have, Ashton Genty is officially off of the injury report and good to go

1:52Sunday against the Dolphins. So with Ashton Genty specifically, I honestly think if he's off the injury report entirely, this ankle injury, no concern

2:04whatsoever. I had moved Ashen Genty down again past guys like Achan, Barkley, Hampton, Walker, Henry when we got the first word of the ankle because we

2:15really didn't know what it was going to be like. But now Genty is back there almost as a top five running back pretty

2:22damn close to it. So, um, go ahead and jam him. I mean, he could win you your week straight up this week against

2:28Miami. Now, this was something that obviously came as a surprise to everybody, but Cowboys running back Malik Davis has been ruled out of

2:38Sunday's game versus the Giants because of a hip injury suffered in Friday's practice. He is undergoing further examination to determine the severity of

2:48the injury. So, when we're looking at the Malik Davis update, um the expectation is obviously you do not get him back at any point this year, like I

2:58know Zufa in the Flock League went through and picked him up because once Jaden Blue got cut, then all of a

3:04sudden, I mean, we're sitting here going, "Oh, okay." Well, I guess uh the direct handcuff that you have is now, I

3:11mean, of all players, um Malik Davis for the Dallas Cowboys backfield. Well, now he is nothing. He is worth zilch. The

3:21third string running back on this team was Amari Dermacado, which I believe was with the Kansas City Chiefs at the very

3:28beginning of the off seasonason. I will go ahead and add him um into my rankings, but I will say that this is

3:36most likely a running back that even if we were to get an injury, I'm still not starting him. So, I'll put him where

3:42Malik Davis was previously. We'll have him at like running back 64 where if you're in a super deep like 16 team

3:48league, Amari Dermacado may be worth the pickup because again he is now the direct beneficiary if a Javvante injury were to happen.

3:58Now going over to our next update, the Giants are listing Malik Neighbors as questionable for Sunday night's game

4:07against the Dallas Cowboys. So for me, previously I had Malik Neighbors ranked as if he was going to play because everything that I heard two, three days

4:19ago made it seem like Neighbors was practicing in full, made it seem like he was a-okay with zero concerns. Now at

4:26this point, if I had like, keep in mind, it's a Sunday night game. So if Malik Neighbors doesn't get cleared by the

4:34time say you have to make a decision on if you start Lad Mani or Malik Neighbors I would start Lad Manki. So for the

4:41weekly rankings these are weekly not rest of season I'm going to be moving Malik Neighbors down to the bottom of C

4:48tier because if I had Ibuka Wadd McMillan Lad London Flowers I would just go ahead and I would play it safe.

4:56Now let's see what we have with our next one. Um yeah, Titans posting something about

5:05Chris Johnson. Um Bree Hall and rookie Kenyan Sadi are good to go for Sunday's opener at Tennessee. This was already the expectation with Bree. With Kenyan

5:15Sadi though, a tight end I took in a ton of basketball drafts that I would absolutely love it if he crushed. I

5:22would love it if he came out here and made a massive impact. Um, most likely it's not worth the roster spot in your

5:29regular reddraft league though, but all you can definitely start. It's going to be a good matchup. DeAndre Swift does get extended. Um, does this change where

5:37I rank DeAndre Swift? No, because DeAndre Swift before this extension was going to be the starting running back for the Chicago Bears. After this

5:45extension, he's going to be the starting running back for the Chicago Bears.

5:51So, nothing changes there. But this is the big story that we probably do need to talk about, and that is going to be

5:58that Cooper Rush is officially the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Now, I've seen the memes. I've seen people come through and say like,

6:08"Lol, this may be an upgrade over Tua."

6:12And I want us all to be on the same page. It very much is not. While Tua is bad, Cooper Rush is much, much, much

6:22worse. And if you don't believe me, you can believe people that are significantly smarter than I am. We literally just go over to Poly Market

6:30US. You can see before the Tua injury when Tua was going to be the starter, the Atlanta Falcons had a 37% chance of

6:38winning this game. Once it was announced, nope, Tua's injured, it fell down to a 32% chance. And then once it was announced, oh, he's for sure

6:47missing. It just fell down to a 30% chance. So, it is a meaningful drop off going from Tua to Cooper Rush. If you

6:56don't believe me, believe the market makers who are significantly smarter than I am. I'm never going to be able to be more accurate than this right here.

7:06And if we go over and look at what we have now with Drake London expectations, uh, right now for fantasy points, Bejian

7:13Robinson has a 45% chance to score 20 or more. And Drake London is a 5050 coin flip on if he is going to hit 14 fantasy

7:23points this week. So for me, I did move Drake London down my ranks. And obviously, if y'all wanted to check out

7:30any of these markets, you can find it on Poly Market US. The link is always in the chat, always in the description.

7:38Sign up with code flock and you are going to get $50 added to your account after you play your first 10. Plus, on

7:44top of that, you are going to be able to get free questions to ask me in these live streams for your start, set, and

7:50trades. And lastly, um, Poly Market US is available in 49 out of 50 states, only not available in Nevada.

8:00But let's move back over. So, London has to fall. Bejon. He's still a three-own workhorse. But dear god, like for me as

8:08an example, I get to play against Jinxy week two of the Flock League. His first two picks were JSN and Drake London. So

8:16what I am really hoping is I'm really hoping that Drew Lockach is the starter for JSN week two and Cooper Rush is the

8:24starter for Drake London.

8:27Now, let's see if there's anything else that we need to discuss. We already talked about Dean dribbling um ankle injury. This isn't an Achilles like we

8:36initially thought, but let me go ahead and let me dive into now all the questions that we have on flockfantasy.com. And again, I

8:47appreciate everybody coming out to this live stream. I have caught so much up on the questions in comparison to where we

8:53were a week ago that hopefully in tonight's stream I can answer a ton of free questions from the live chat. And

9:00if I can't tonight, we'll definitely be able to this weekend. Now, let's go ahead and let's pull this stuff up. Um,

9:08let's check out this team here from Grandp Puma says, "Honestly, I feel like I might be cooked. I wanted to see what

9:16your thought on this team is and any potential trades." Let me go ahead make myself small. Um, let's throw the URL on

9:24the screen. That's not the URL that is.

9:28And yeah, let's check it out. My guy, this is a 14 team league. 14 team league. Obviously, the expectations for the squad are going to be lower than a

9:3812-teamer. Now, the first thing I will say is based on the McCaffrey, Kalin Black split yesterday. We now know that

9:47Black is the direct handcuff to CMC. So, I would have said this if you had McAffrey or not on your fantasy team,

9:54but I think you 100% need to drop Chris Brooks, pick up Kale Black off the waiver wire. Now, I understand you're

10:01not going to be able to do that right this second. You are going to have to wait for waiverss to clear, but

10:05regardless, that is something I'm going to be looking at doing for your team.

10:09Another potential pickup, depending on what happens week one. Um, I would potentially look at dropping Jacobe Lane and picking

10:19up Omar Cooper as well. Now, in terms of trades, it's a two team I'm sorry, it's a two wide receiver, one flex format.

10:27So, while it being a 14 team league does make depth a necessity, um, at the same time, I would say

10:46like I don't need to go out there and stress about having phenomenal wide receivers and running backs on the bench because you only have one flex. So, I

10:57think you are going to be okay with just a well- balanced approach. We have a good quarterback with Herbert. Running back, we have CMC David McGomery.

11:04Phenomenal RB1, RB2 combo in a 14 team league. Wide receiver, Rasheed Rice Teigan's solid wide receiver room. We punted tight end and our flex is a

11:13little weak. Man, you have a good team here. You have a well balanced team. If it was a 10 team league, you would be

11:19cooked. It would be horrendous. And obviously, week one is not starting off well. um given the fact that CMC did not play well. CMC did not do

11:31what you wanted him to. But regardless, I think McCaffrey should bounce back. I think it should be much better in the

11:37future. I wouldn't make any trades with your team. I know it's boring. It's very simple, but I would legitimately just do

11:46those two deals. I would just cut Chris Brooks, pick up Kayn Black for sure, and of course we'll see if you can get him

11:54on the waiver wire. And then I would consider also cutting Jacobe Lane for Omar Cooper dependence on what happens

12:04um this week in the Baltimore game and the Jets game. Now, let's go ahead and let's dive into our next one. This is

12:11going to be from 50 Shades of Z. I like the team name. This is one I don't think I've seen before.

12:17But right now, if we're going through and checking out the squad, it says, "Third season of fantasy, first

12:27season joining the flock. Hell yes. Team analyzer rates me low. Am I cooked?"

12:32Well, um I am happy that you are a new member of the flock, my friend, and I am impressed that you were able to figure

12:38out how to submit your team being a new member of the flock. Um we don't really explain it very often for new people.

12:45So, pulling this up, the first thing that I do want to point out is going to be the starting lineup requirements.

12:51Again, this is going to be a superflex league start nine format as well. Not only is it super flex, but at the same time, you

13:02are also having to start three wide receivers. So, the depth matters a considerable amount in this league. This isn't a spot in which you can just

13:11completely go through and ignore the depth on your roster. Like, no. Uh, two for one deals are going to be tough to

13:18make in a league like this. We are starting off in incredibly rough shape given how bad Matthew Stafford performed where Matthew Stafford just came through

13:28and gave you a whopping like five fantasy points his first game in. So absolutely brutal to see that from Stafford, but um nonetheless, I think

13:39you should be optimistic about the combo of Goff and Stafford into the future. I will say it would have been nice to have

13:45a third QB, but looking at options on the waiverwire, the waiver wire is absolute garbage for you here. Now going over to running back, we have Jir Gibbs,

13:55Dererick Henry, Javvante, Blake Cororum, as well as Tank Bixby. So running back's the positional strength of our team, right? which the concern that you have is if this is

14:07a league in which you need to start three wide receivers and two quarterbacks every single week, do we want to go through and

14:16aggressively build around running back?

14:20Is that the position we want to put ourselves in? Because wide receiver, we're incredibly weak. And this is really going to be the downfall of this

14:27team. wide receiver you're sitting with Devonte Adams, Brian Thomas, Quinton Johnson, Xavier Worthy. I know we also have like Aden I Mitchell who I

14:35personally have no hope for. Like I think maybe in baseball Adai Mitchell makes a difference but to ever put Adani Mitchell in your starting lineup would

14:44be literally insane.

14:47So for me like I would like to roster some more of these running backs at the bottom end of our team. these guys such as Caleb

14:58Johnson, Zack Charminet, Brilan Allen, like these clear handcuffs over the Adini Mitchell and Darnell Mooney of the world. But because your wide receiver

15:06room is dead last in the league analyzer and your running back room is first, I understand you constructing it this way.

15:13And then tight end, obviously, you're pretty strong here. I'm sorry, you're not pretty strong, you're pretty weak, but you're in a fine spot because you

15:19can go through and just play the matchups between these two guys. And honestly, wide receiver is way more important for you in this league than

15:26tight end. So, if I were looking at this, I would say that I probably want you to go through and

15:38explore the possibility of selling a running back like Blake Cororum and possibly upgrading wide receiver.

15:50Now, I would not do that until we end up seeing what we get from Quinton Johnston, until we end up seeing what we

15:57get from Brian Thomas and Xavier Worthy because you do have some upside here.

16:03Again, just a little, but I think long-term you may end up needing to go through and again trade away Blake Cororm and like Courtland Sutton for a

16:14wide receiver you would feel comfortable starting. That would be my expectation.

16:19But I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way with this, my friend.

16:26Now, let's go through and let's check this out for Swerpe Nasty. Says 12 team keeper league, can keep up to four, can

16:36draft, can trade draft picks, not dynasty, but like reddraft picks. I'll say for me personally, I absolutely hate

16:44that. like to be able to go ahead and trade draft picks in a reddraft league

16:57is insane to me. Like obviously I'm used to dynasty and dynasty it makes so much sense because your consequences last for

17:05a while and there's so much balance but in reddraft it's like okay well um who cares if I sell all my players for

17:17pennies on the dollar I wasn't going to be able to keep them anyway. Let me just get them off of my team. So I hate this.

17:24I just want to be on the record in saying that. kind of know you probably don't care, but we kept neighbors Thomas

17:31ET unlikely. I like my starting lineup, but a couple teams feel really strong.

17:35Would like to know what I could do to catch up without the top having to give up too much draft capital. Now, um

17:42again, in terms of our keepers, I'm assuming this is Brian Thomas. I have no idea how we did not have a

17:52better keeper than Isaiah likely, but I'm assuming like this team here that has Chase Brown, Genty, Jeremiah, Love, Puka, JSN, Lovelin, they have a god

18:03squad right now. And I'm assuming it's because they traded away all their future picks because if you want to win ultimately, that's what you're going to

18:10have to do in this kind of league. Now going over to quarterback, we are currently sitting with the combination of Jaylen Herz as well as Fernando

18:19Mendoza. I understand your thought process of oh okay maybe I picked up Fernando Mendoza at the very end of this but

18:31realistically like I don't think you're keeping him regardless.

18:38Like I would go through and I would cut Fernando Mendoza. I would pick up Jordan Love.

18:49Like if it was a superflex league, I would understand rostering Mendoza down here at the very bottom and saying, "Oh, okay. Well, maybe we have just an

18:55incredible keeper next year." But if it's a one quarterback format, I don't see the world in which you're ever going through and which you're ever being

19:03excited to keep Mendoza next season.

19:05Running back, we have McCaffrey, Remadre, ETN, Marshall Lloyd, Emit Johnson.

19:11Incredible running back room. I will say, of course, that the uh red flags are slightly being raised for CMC.

19:20They're at half mass right now. Um it is worth pointing out, but ultimately I don't think you need to go through and

19:27panic right now with McAffrey off of one game.

19:32Now looking at wide receiver, we are currently sitting with the combo of Neighbors, Zay, AJ Brown, Brian Thomas, Mai Lemon, Caleb Douglas. I completely

19:42understand from like a wide receiver perspective, us going through and rostering the rookies and saying, "Hey, maybe they're exciting to keep next

19:49season if they're free." Now, to be honest with you, looking at the waiverwire, um, even with this being a league in

19:57which you can start four wide receivers, man, I think you're in a much better spot to pick up like Jonah Coleman. I

20:02think you're way more likely to keep Jonah Coleman next year than you would be Caleb Douglas. And honestly, if we get an injury to JK Dobbins, I think

20:11Jonah Coleman has a much higher ceiling than Caleb Douglas has anyway.

20:15So, I would go through I would consider cutting Caleb Douglas, picking up Jonah Coleman. And to be completely honest with you, I wouldn't just consider it. I

20:24would just straight up do it. And then tight end, we have Isaiah Likely. With likely, I think maybe you're a little

20:30bit higher on him than I am. I don't view him as like a set it and forget it tight end. Now, don't get me wrong. Um,

20:36week one, he has an incredible matchup, but overall, it's a very wellbalanced team. Like trade-wise, there's nothing that I would do, but I for sure would

20:48not be thinking about this as if it was a keeper league or a dynasty league.

20:53Because ultimately, if you only ever get to keep four players from a year-to-year perspective, it is just way, way, way closer, in my opinion, to just being a

21:02full-blown reddraft league. So, I would go ahead. I would cut Mendoza. I would pick up Jordan Love. I would cut Caleb

21:09Douglas. And I would pick up Jonah Coleman.

21:12But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way here.

21:19Now, let's move this over to our next question.

21:24This next one's going to be out from WCTS says, "16 team league at the 13 spot was brutal. Had to go wide receiver heavy to

21:34gain trade value. Definitely need to upgrade my running back room. any thoughts on the best way to do so in such a deep league? Okay,

21:45let's go ahead and let's see what our team name is now. Um, we are the Jared Yoff team, so we're going to be pretty

21:53low in the quarterback rankings.

21:56Okay, we are right here. We are a top five team according to the league analyzer.

22:01But you're saying we need to upgrade our running back room and I'm saying you may need to take a chill pill here, man.

22:09Like, okay, first start off with quarterback. Quarterback golf Stafford.

22:13Stafford just looked like ass, but he's going to be fine. I wouldn't go through and panic about Matthew Stafford right now. I don't think it's going to be the

22:21end of the world here.

22:23So, quarterback, leave it as is. I would frankly just want to be playing the matchups between these two guys.

22:31Running back, do you have your anchor in a 14 team league? Gamarian Hampton is a good running back one and you have three separate shots at

22:43finding another startable running back in a 14 team format. One Jonathan Brooks, one Blake Cororm, and one Jordan Mason.

22:54Obviously Blake Cororm based on what we had last night was not startable. Kairen Williams got the touchdown, but Blake Cororm did get usage inside

23:04the five yard line. He had a carry or two. And on top of that as well with Cororum, it was in a game in which they

23:12got absolutely boat raced by the Ners.

23:17So, I think Cororum will be better in the future. Jordan Mason may just be a straightup startable running back here for the Minnesota Vikings. So, I want to

23:29leave this as is. I want to leave this how you have it right now at the running back position because what's the

23:36alternative? Like, could we sell a wide receiver? No. We have Lam Flowers, Quinton Johnston, which it's a league in which you probably want to be putting

23:45Quinton Johnson in your flex. And then underneath that, Jordan Tyson on the IR and then Jack Bes, which for me, I think based on what we saw in

23:56camp, I wouldn't be the biggest Jack Bash guy.

24:02I understand maybe you going through and you rostering him here, don't get me

24:12wrong. Like, I get it.

24:17But I would also possibly consider cutting Jack Bash and picking up Caleb Johnson. I would for sure have told you that if it wasn't for the Brock Bowers

24:26injury. But again, now that Bowowers is injured, I mean, I understand you holding on to Bash here. And then tight end, you have TJ Hawinson.

24:37So yeah, if you're going to go and look at 10 team leagues, if you're going to go and look at 12 team formats, don't

24:42get me wrong, you're in a really rough spot at running back, but it's a 14 team league. You have an anchor running back one, and you have

24:52three shots at a running back, two.

24:56So, I would leave this as is right now at running back. Man, I would not panic about this.

25:01Again, I'm not going to sit here and say that it's a phenomenal running back room by any stretch of the imagination, but I

25:10think you can at least wait one week to what it looks like. And if you are that worried about it, then at that point, I

25:16probably would go ahead and I probably would actually instead cut Jack B and pick up Caleb Johnson. I don't think you'd make a trade. I think he got a

25:23good team and it's constructed well for the format.

25:27Now, let's pull this over to Fierce Tiger. So, should I make any immediate trades before starting? I love my wide receiver core, but I don't like my

25:38running back stability. Would you lose in a trade to get a better running back?

25:41So, here's the deal.

25:44This is a super deep league. This is a very serious league.

25:51Like, we cannot mess around here.

25:55It is a 14 team start nine format.

26:00So, you have to start three wide receivers and two flex spots. And it's not a 10 like it's not a 10 team league.

26:11So, the ability to make two for one trades kind of out the window.

26:19Like, I wouldn't be looking at two for one deals in this the way that we would be in a 10 team league or the way that

26:25we would be in a two receiver, one flex league.

26:33We do have the number one team in this league and our starting lineup looks incredible. Man, for a 14 team format, you were somehow

26:42able to draft Kiran, Puka, Neighbors, Waddle, all on the same team.

26:50That is super strong.

26:53Quarterback, we have Daniels. Daniels is gonna suck this week. Be prepared for that. But long-term, Jaden Daniels gives you rushing upside. So, um, I think you

27:03can be happy having Jaden Daniels here.

27:05Definitely not stressing about Daniels being our quarterback.

27:10Going over to running back, we have Kiran as RB1. And yeah, your depth at running back isn't the best.

27:20We have R.J. Harvey running back too.

27:24Jaka Kroski Merritt, Rashad Whites, Kalin Black, Jonah Coleman. But you have

27:34multiple shots at it. One, we are going to get to see what the usage looks like in Washington. And if JCM's the clear

27:41lead back, cool, we got him. If Rashad White's the clear lead back, then cool, we got him.

27:52So you do have a lot of flexibility with this wide receiver, puka, neighbors, waddle, Brian Thomas. Man, this is a damn good

28:04team. Like I do not want you to upgrade running back here. No way in hell. Not in a 14 team format. The change that I

28:13would make to be honest with you that you may disagree with, you may roll your eyes with and I'd understand it,

28:20but I would probably well you can wait until you see what happens week one, but I'm just not a believer in Darren

28:28Baller. I may want to hit the reset button with the round one tight end that yes missed a ton of camp, missed the

28:34preseason with the sports hernia, but I would probably personally rather have especially if we're just talking about a backup here. I would rather have Kenyan

28:42Sadi over Darren Waller.

28:45But in terms of trades, man, no, you are in a phenomenal spot. You leave this team how you have it. It's a super deep

28:52league. your running back too is a little bit weak, but again, two for one deals could really screw you in a league

28:58like this.

29:00Now, let's go over to our next one and seeolves West Tea and Lemonade says, "I have cap

29:09space to apply one two-year contract and I'm in between Kairen and Blake Cororm and maybe Chuba Hubard. What are your thoughts?"

29:19So, if you're just asking who would we rather have over the next two years between those guys, and I don't exactly

29:26know the exact cost of them, etc., etc., um, for me, it's very clear. I would very clearly, in my opinion, want to be

29:35going with the combination of both probably Kairen and Hubard. I'm sorry, Kairen and Cororum. to be honest, like I don't necessarily know if I can sit here

29:44and say that um Tuba Hubard is a player that I am super excited about for the long term, but the Rams running backs

29:54possibly.

29:55Now, obviously we'll be awkward trying to project out what the situation's like um in the far future, but still. Now, let's go ahead and let's see where our

30:06squad currently is. Um, our lineup, we do have Caleb Williams as our quarterback. It is a one QB league, so I

30:14have no idea why that team there was rostering that many of them. Um, but we have both Caleb and Cam Ward. Looking at

30:22the quarterbacks on the Waverwire, there are none. So, I would say typically 12 team league, I don't really want us to

30:29go through and roster a second quarterback at all if we have Caleb Williams. But looking at your league mates

30:39and what they are doing, yeah. Um, if you have other teams rostering three QBs and they left you literally nothing on

30:46the waiver wire, by all means, sure. Let's roster camboard.

30:54Going over to running back, we have Kiran, Cororm, Hubard, Gainwell, Jonah Coleman. Again, I don't exactly know like your salary cap setup here. So take

31:05this with a grain of salt, but I would strongly consider us going through and cutting Jeremy

31:25Bernard and cutting Jaylen McMillan and picking up a couple handcuffed running backs like Alvin Kamara as well as Caleb Johnson.

31:35Now, don't get me wrong, like Caleb Johnson's maybe a little less

31:51exciting now that it seems like you are going to see Josh Jacobs ditch the I mean, I don't say completely, but

31:59there's a good chance that Jacobs is no longer looking at a full season absence right now that it appears that there's a

32:08good chance that we end up getting him.

32:13Caleb Johnson is a little less appealing, but Marshon Lloyd could go down week one or we could play week one and Marshon Lloyd could be horrible. We

32:20have no idea.

32:24So, and then also if ETN goes down, Alvin Kamara may or may not be just a mustart running back if he's going to

32:30catch the ball.

32:32So, I would cut Bernard. I would cut McMillan. McMillan's not even going to play this week. God knows what the Bernard role is. I hope he plays well. I

32:41took him in a lot of basketball drafts.

32:42And I'd pick up those two handcuff running backs. Going over to receiver, we have JSN, Rice, Higgins, Sutton,

32:50Shir, Kahan Booty. Um, while yes, Shahed looked horrendous week one and Sal actually cut him in the

33:00flock league as well. So, I'd say that um you're not the only league that has him out there on the waiverwire.

33:07I possibly would want him over Kahan Booty if Kahan Booty plays poorly on Sunday because what we could potentially

33:17do is we could potentially excuse away the poor play from Shahed and say, "Oh, okay. This was just due to um Sam Darnold going down, right? Sam

33:31Darnold going down absolutely screwed him.

33:37So I would definitely cut the bottom two receivers, pick up the handcuff running backs and dependent on how Kahan Booty plays, I may pick up Shahed instead. And

33:46then tight end, we have Jawan Johnson, Michael Mayer, play Jawan Johnson this week for sure. And then because this is a league where you have to start three

33:54wide receivers, man, you're doing what you should. you're built around the wide receiver position again. But because you're built so strong at the top end

34:01and our top end at running back's pretty weak.

34:05In that case, I think you can decide, hey, I want to go through and I want to roster the handcuff running backs at the

34:10very bottom end of our team. So again, yet another team where I think it's good. I don't think you need to change

34:16anything in a dramatic way with a trade.

34:18But what I would look to do here is I would look to just go ahead and see if you can make a small waiverwire pivot.

34:25But I really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.

34:33Now, let's go over to our next question.

34:35And this one's going to be from JP.

34:37We are Vinegar and Honey.

34:43Let me see. We are the eighth team in the league analyzer. It's a start date format 12 team league and we are looking at Deon Stribbling

34:53obviously getting nuked in our ranks.

35:00Let me go through and see where we need to update him.

35:05Okay, it is so difficult to know what's dribbling right now. My base expectations are he's nothing this season.

35:14Like, can y'all spam the chat right now?

35:16Who would y'all rather have rest of season? Would y'all rather have Deon Stribbling or Jacobe Lane?

35:25And Michael says, "Mason, I'm ripping the night shift. Please stream for seven more hours." I'm going to be here for a

35:30while, my friend. Um, hopefully the shift goes by quickly for you, my friend, but I'll be here for a while.

35:36Hopefully, I can help you get through it. But we got lane, lane, lane, dribbling, lane, lane, dribbling, lane.

35:42Um, yeah, I went through and I moved Dejon Shribbling down to wide receiver 62. I have Jacobe Lane at 61. And

35:51honestly, hell, I would rather have Trey Harris over to John Shribbling at this point. I moved Stribbling down to like wide receiver 66.

35:58Um, but anyway, so we did lose him, but quarterback we have Brock Party. Brock Party looked phenomenal yesterday. Now, of course, super weird game. I don't

36:06want to overlook that. Um, a very, very, very weird game environments. However, with that being said, like it was a tough defense, even if it

36:18was played on the other side of the planet. So, I think you can be excited about Brock Party. Um, I don't know if I

36:24want to classify him as somebody that I am perfectly fine not rostering a backup QB with, but like the options that you

36:31have on the waiverwire, you would never start over pretty like Malik Willis. So, you're going to leave that how you have

36:35it. Running back, we have a Chan Barkley, Tutin, Marshon Lloyd, Woody Mars. So, we have three startable running backs, two anchors at the top

36:42end, Marshall Lloyd, maybe Pops. Wide receiver, we have Flowers, Wadd, Rome, Godwin, and then tight end, we have Kelsey. So, this would for sure be a

36:52situation in which I think a trade would make a ton of sense if you only had one flex spot. But because

37:02you are sitting with two flexes, it does make it significantly tougher for me to want to go through and for me

37:11want to because what I would want to do is I would want to trade for a better tight ends, but I don't think you're going to be

37:25able to afford to do so. So, I would go through I would I would trade for the better tight end

37:36if the Jacob suspension is massive and if it looks to be a spot where all of a sudden like Marshon Lloyd is a massive hit and

37:50we can afford to send like a Bay Shell Tutin and Travis Kelce and get to Colston Loveland.

38:01But and outside of that, if we get bad news about dribbling and you're not able to cut him, I would rather have Alvin Kamar

38:11over to John Stribbling at this point.

38:12Again, depending on the news that we get. So that would potentially be a waiverwire pivot that you would make, but definitely not anytime soon. But

38:20happy to see you start off strong with Mr. Brock Party. Hopefully, we did not have shribbling in our lineup, but your

38:26team's so strong. I doubt you did.

38:29Now, MJF with our next one says, "How's the team looking? What should I try to do to make it better?" Okay, we are the

38:36fifth team in the league analyzer. I'll say first things first. I know you can't do this right now, but I will for sure

38:43want to when the waiverwire comes around cut Rasheed Shahed and pick up Kalin Black. Kaylin Black is a must add for

38:53anybody on the waiver wire currently.

38:56Like if anybody has free agents open where if somehow your league you're able to get them, you would want to 100% go

39:03through and scoop them up. But um again, we're probably going to have to wait until Wednesday and I understand that. Now quarterback, we have Brock

39:11Party. I'm sorry, we have Joe Burrow.

39:13We're in a good spot with Burrow. It's a two receiver, one flex league. So, I think this is one of those leagues in

39:19which it is pretty important for you to have a top end quarterback.

39:26Now, running back, we have Chase Brown, DeAndre Swift, we have Jonathan Brooks, and Chuba Hover. So, really strong running back room, right? We have the

39:35guys at the top, and then we have upside down below. So, uh, really good position at RB.

39:42Now wide receiver, you're currently sitting with Z Flowers, CD Lamb as your top two anchors. Then below that as your depth, you have the upside of Brian

39:53Thomas, the upside of Mai Lemon, and the upside of Jordan Tyson later on. Now, of course, we're not expecting anything from these guys in the short term, but

40:04um in the long term, they very much could do something for you here.

40:08I think that this is a team that naturally with all the youth that we have on the roster and also of course

40:14Jordan Tyson on the IR if you're able to just hold on you will get better as time goes. And then tight end we are sitting

40:22with Harold Fannon and Travis Kelce.

40:25So overall I really like the team man. I think that this is a really wellbalanced one and I honestly don't think that

40:34there is anything that you would need to do here.

40:38Like again, if I were to try to map something out, if we were to try to go through and do something, um maybe it's

40:46once Mai Lemon andor Jordan Tyson break out and we feel comfortable with them, then at that point we go through and we

40:53try to take one of the receivers, send it with the tight ends and get an upgrade there from Harold Fannon.

41:01But that's not something that we can do right this second. That will be something that we have to hold out and

41:07wait for.

41:10But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way.

41:17Now let's look at Wedian. Says ranked last in league on ESPN, but was last year in one. It's a weird league. Two

41:27keepers and makes ADP wacky and folks often reach for their guys due to this.

41:34I feel okay about my team though. How do you feel? Fourtime champ out of this 10-year league. That is incredible, man.

41:43Open to looking into a trade, including CMC early, but I don't know. Okay, well, let's check this out. We are every

41:51villain is Lemon. Now, obviously, McCaffrey did not look great last night.

42:02I think what we can say about it and what how we can possibly excuse it away is go okay well while he looked very bad

42:11at the same time the game was played on the other side of the planet and it was a spot where they blew out the Rams so

42:21maybe they didn't really need them and they could just go through and they could just use Kalin Black a ton right

42:27that's what we can maybe tell ourselves here quarter back, we have Herbert and Brock Party. Um, I probably would have played

42:35Justin Herbert's, but obviously with how things turned out, if you would have gone either guy, you would have been in a great spot.

42:43Running back, we have McCaffrey, Amari, and Hampton as our top two guys. We have RGV, Woody Marks. Here's the deal and

42:50why your team is bad, to be honest. I don't know if it's just we got screwed with the keeper situation, but the

42:55reason your team is bad is your wide receivers are bad. Waddle wide receiver one in a 10 team league is very weak.

43:06Godwin wide receiver two in a 10 team league is very weak.

43:20like our wide receiver three, four, five, six almost don't even really matter since it's a league in which you can only start two receivers in one

43:29flex, right? Like I would say if it was a best format between Johnston, Diggs, Addison, Godwin, Wadd, you are really going to be able to see some random guys

43:40pop into your starting lineup and have good performances.

43:57But instead, since this is a two receiver, one flex, the wide receiver depth doesn't matter.

44:04Man, the only deal that I think you could make is like if you could somehow someway make two for one trades to up

44:10tier at wide receiver, but like sending say the combination of Wadd as well as Mai Lemon and pivot up to like the

44:20Rasheed Ricees of the world like this would be a clear win for you because what you could do is you could also just

44:26go to the waiverwire and pick up like um Wandel Robin son for free, right? So, if you were to trade Wadd and Quinton

44:37Johnson for a lav and then pick up Wandale for free, it just makes a ton of sense for your roster.

44:47So, again, I would like to make these two for one trades, but it's much easier said than done.

44:58And yeah, the reason the team's weak, man, is just cuz wide receiver is pretty damn bad. if I'm going to be honest.

45:05Running back's good. I would hold on to McCaffrey. I don't think you can sell him after last night.

45:10Now, Matt says, "Hey, Mason. Would love to hear your thoughts about the team.

45:13Have too many running backs to start looking around to get another receiver or tight end upgrade."

45:19So, yeah, man. Um I would be in agreement with you because here's the deal. 10 team league, right? And your running back room is incredible.

45:27Especially now that we know that Genti is a okay and Genty is good to go. We can say at this point quite confidently

45:36that like we can rely on Chase Brown. We can rely on Ashton Genty.

45:47So having the running back depth of David McGomery, Raadre Stevenson, and then Marshon Lloyd as our running back five is honestly a little unnecessary.

45:58So, the easiest thing to say and the easiest thing to do would be, oh, go through and try to sell Marshon Lloyd,

46:05right? Pivot off of Marshon Lloyd and see if we can go and get an upgrade from Carnell Tate, right? Sell Lloyd and Tate

46:12and get the best wide receiver that you can.

46:16But the fact of the matter is, I don't think in a 10 team league anybody's going to be that excited to trade for

46:21Marshon Lloyd.

46:23So, what I think you're probably going to need to do instead is I think you're probably going to need to go through and

46:31you're need to sell David McGomery.

46:35You're need to see like if you can sell David McGomery and Cardinal Tate to get the best wide receiver that you can or

46:41the best tight end that you can, right?

46:42If you wanted to go like McGomery and try to get back say Trey McBride somehow someway Montgomery and Tucker Craft for McBride

46:54would be just an absolute no-brainer.

46:55Much easier said than done. As we already mentioned, that deal is not honestly don't even send it. That deal is not getting accepted. Uh you could

47:02possibly go through and no maybe it makes more like if you wanted to do the tight end upgrade, it'd be something smaller. It'd be like

47:11Marshon Lloyd or maybe not even that.

47:14Let's call it Remadre Stevenson. It would be like Remadre and Tucker Craft to see if he can get to Loveland and that would make a ton of sense.

47:22Obviously, if that team needs a running back, possibly we can pull it off, but I think the most likely thing you're doing

47:28here is looking to send like Montgomery and Carnell Tate to see if you can get to like the Rashid Rice's, the Chris

47:35Lavees of the world. You're going to have to just find whatever team really needs help at running back.

47:42Like, is there a team here that's kind of desperate for depth? This team lost Jacobs. Maybe you can. Yeah. Again, they

47:48have or she rice. Maybe that's an area that you can attack. Or another way that you can go about that is maybe like the

47:54Montgomery and Jordan Addison of the world and try to get over to like Lad Mankey that way. Um, but

48:04I agree with you. Long story short here, I do think that you should go ahead and see if you can make a two for one deal

48:13where you are sending one of these running backs away to get an upgrade inside the starting lineup at

48:23wide receiver or at tight end.

48:27But I appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way with this.

48:34Now, let's go over to our next question.

48:40This is going to be from Uday says, "Just traded Terry and Pitman for Tooten Addison. Trying to get a high-end

48:51running back.

48:54What trades do you suggest?"

48:57Okay, this is a wild team name, man. I'll say great trade, but this is a crazy team

49:08name.

49:11This is the first time I've ever seen this name.

49:16Wild.

49:18But I'm excited to check out the team regardless of the name.

49:22quarterback Dak Prescott, Kyler Murray, a very strong pairing where we can go through and play the matchups between them, right? So, I think you're in a

49:33good spot here at quarterback. I don't think you need to stress about it. And yeah, um I would go through and leave

49:40this as is. Play the matchups. Don't think twice. Running back, we have plenty of depth. And this may be one of

49:49the concerns with this team. You just have so much freaking depth with this squad, man.

49:56Um, we have Kenneth Walker, Kairen Williams, then Jaylen Warren, Bashel Tudin, Marshon Lloyd, RJ Harvey on the bench.

50:08Now, it may be easier said than done for you to do this, but ultimately, I think what I would want to do here is I'd want

50:17to try to sell one of these running backs and see if we can pivot over and get a topend tight ends.

50:28Like, would there be a way even if it was a topend running back we're selling any shot we can sell Kairen Williams and

50:35Dallas GD to get to McBride, right?

50:37That would be a no-brainer for me because you have so many freaking running backs on this team. Is there any way you can sell Bayel Tutin and Goddard

50:47and get to Lovel be a no-brainer.

50:53Any way you can sell Jaylen Warren and Dallas Gddard to get to Tyler Warren also would be a no-brainer.

51:02If you can't make one of those easy swaps or quote unquote easy swaps, obviously again much easier said than done.

51:14Would we be able to go through and instead maybe upgrade for a wide receiver?

51:21Like I have IA on my own fantasy team.

51:24Don't get me wrong, I really like Ibuka.

51:26I think it's gonna crush week one, but any chance you could go through and send like

51:34Ibuka and Bashel Tutin and see if you can get up to Nico Collins.

51:45Even if it was like a buuka and I don't know if I do Kirn Ibuka and Jaylen Warren and see if you can get up to a

51:52lav like I would very much want us to go through and try our best

52:11to sell one of the depth running backs where we could and get to a wide receiver upgrade.

52:22But I think that's all I got for you. I really appreciate you, man. I think you have a damn good team. I think you just

52:32got to capitalize on some of the depth that you have at running back and try to get an upgrade in your lineup

52:39from it.

52:41Now, let's go over and let's look at this from Submerge.

52:46Says, "Hey, this is a team that will actually need some help. Uh, last year I won the league and this year drafting at

52:54the 106. I made some mistakes. Any advice on waiverss, pickups, trades, etc. Thanks in advance." No, thank you, my guy. I'm really excited to look at

53:02this for you. Now, first things first, running back depth is garbage, right?

53:07Maybe it's not your fault. Maybe you drafted before the Josh Jacobs stuff.

53:11Um, but it is a shaky position to say the least

53:18when we're looking at this setup being.

53:23RJ Harvey, Chuba Hubber, Josh Jacobs, running back two, running back three, running back four. If it was a two wide receiver, one flex league, I think you

53:34would be highly incentivized to go ahead and see if there was a way that you could go through and get an upgrade at

53:41running back two by selling a wide receiver like Ted or McMillan.

53:46However, it's a double flex format. So, if you were to go through and make one of those trades, what would eventually end up

53:54happening is cool, maybe we're a little bit better at um running back too, but now all of a

54:04sudden our weak our flex just got weaker.

54:12Now, in terms of waiverwire pivots that we would want to make for me, man, all word coming out of Los Angeles is that we

54:23have a problem when it comes to Aronda Gadston.

54:30It sounds like Aronda Gadston is going to be possibly the third tight ends for the Los Angeles Chargers.

54:45So for me, if I was mapping this out on who I would prefer, I would way rather have Michael Mayer here in the short

54:53term. Now, if you're a massive believer in a Ronda Gadston, maybe you could get away and maybe you could justify

55:03holding on to him, dropping Caleb Johnson for Michael Mayer.

55:08For me personally, I wouldn't want to do that. For me personally, I would want to just cut Gadston, pick up Mayor. I think

55:14Mayor is the better play this week. And then in terms of trades, I don't think you can do much.

55:29Like I hate to say it, but realistically if we like look at this team here, you need the wide receivers to fill out

55:40those flex spots. I think you just have to wait until we see what happens week one. Maybe Chuba Hubard pops. Maybe he

55:47is the full-blown starting running back for the Carolina Panthers still.

55:57Maybe, just maybe.

56:07Um RJ Harvey is the full-blown starting running back in Denver.

56:17So, I don't think you can panic and make a trade at running back, too. I think the downside would be too great on a

56:23team like this. I think instead what you need to go ahead and focus in on is you need to go through and you need to cut

56:31Gadston, pick up Michael Mayer just because he is the better play and then I would leave the rest of the

56:44team as is and send up a prayer that you hit on a running back too. Now, Kid Stealth, it's a second year with the

56:52team and I dumped Herbert and Jacobs to get picks. Trying to get some tight end help. Ended up consolidating picks and

56:59trading up to a 27 first as well. Solid young crew, but aging veterans and will still need some help at receiver. Would

57:06love to get some guidance.

57:09Okay, so we are labeled as a strong contender here according to this site.

57:13And this is a very interesting team to look at, right? is if we look at your week one starting lineup um we have

57:21Caleb Malik Willis in at quarterback and the superflex spot running back we are sitting with Jonathan Taylor Ashen Genty wide receiver we have the combo of

57:36Devont Smith Matthew Golden wide receiver too tight end you have Tucker Craft in the flex spots you have Jadearian Price Dalton Concaid keep in

57:46mind we can't play Jordan Tyson week one. Uh, we're playing Trey Tucker. Trey Tucker is your last flex.

57:54So, I would look at this and go, you know what? I actually don't think we can contend.

58:03I actually think we may have a problem here.

58:07But on the flip side of that, you do have some of these veterans like Jonathan Taylor, like Devont Smith that are definitely veteran assets that if we

58:17weren't to be a contender, you would need to go through and sell them.

58:22And I'm going to be honest, I would explore that possibility.

58:28I really would.

58:34Okay. Um, I I think I would try to sell JT to one

58:46of the contending teams. So, I'm going to be honest.

58:50Let me see if we can find some long-term value from some of these contending teams at the top. That'd make a lot of

58:55sense.

58:58What we would need is we need a first round pick and an exciting young asset.

59:02Like it feels really bad. How bad would it be to flip Taylor in a This is a dynasty league for anybody watching this. Um

59:11obviously it's a dynasty, but for you to sell like Taylor for Judkins in a late first.

59:30How bad would it be for you to go through and sell like going back to some of these teams

59:40looking for their young pieces that we could potentially pluck up?

59:52Like is there any world in Dynasty still where you can send Smith to the Luther Burden team?

60:01I I would probably pivot and try to get younger.

60:12I don't know if you should push your chips to the middle and try to contend, especially if you already have an

60:18additional 27 first. And here's the deal, the 27 first that you have, their team is garbage.

60:27Like it's definitely a better team for this season compared to the long term, but it's still a weak team. Like that 27

60:36first that you picked up from them could be early. And your 27 first if we pivoted over to a rebuild would be early

60:42as well.

60:53So yeah, I I think I would sell Taylor.

60:55I would sell Devont Smith. I would try to get younger. I try to pick up a younger player plus a 27 first if you

61:02can. If those get rejected, then sure, go into the season with the plans of contending. But

61:10I wouldn't have super high hopes.

61:15Okay.

61:20Now, let's look at this from Tra.

61:25I love this team name. Vinmo, my winnings to the casino. That's funny.

61:31Now, looking at this squad, we have Caleb Kyler at quarterback.

61:3812 team start format. Quarterbacks on the waiverwire are garbage. I'm fine with you having these two QBs. Again, I don't know if you ever start

61:52Kyler there, but Kyler does have upside like especially in a good matchup week one. This dude

62:02may just literally go nuts and he may spike in value.

62:08Okay, going over to running back.

62:13We are currently sitting with the combo of Bejon Hampton Love Judkins. We have four startable RBs. It's an start eight league. So the depth here does matter.

62:24So I actually do like us having the four startable RB. So I think this looks good.

62:32Wide receiver we have Neighbors Rome, Brian Thomas, Lemon, Sutton, and Wandelle. And then over at tight end, we have Diddley Squad.

62:40So looking at your bench right now, you have Judkins on your bench. You have Hubard on your bench, you have Sutton on

62:45your bench. you maybe do have enough depth where it does make sense at this point for you to go through and see if

62:54there's a way that we could upgrade to a tight end, right? to see if there's any possibility in which you could go ahead and send the

63:05combination of Quinn Shawn Judkins and Britain Strange or Quinn Shawn Judkins and Michael Mayer, whoever it may be, and see if there's a way that you could

63:15pivot over to Coulson Leland because again, your running back depth is a okay. It's not going to kill you to do

63:21so. I would also look at maybe selling Jeremiah Love and like Britain Strange and pivoting over to Trey McBride, but I think even though the depth

63:31definitely matters in a league like this, um, I would be very interested in going

63:43through and making this trade.

63:46Now, I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way, man.

63:51But you got a damn good team. And I don't think there's a reason why a team that's has that much value needs to be

63:57rolling Britain Strange out there at tight end. Now, let's go over and look at this from Caleb.

64:04Says, "I'm looking to see if I could trade for a better tight end or quarterback with my depth. What do you

64:08think?" By the way, love the streams.

64:10Been watching for two years now. Thank you so much, my guy. I really do appreciate that. And here's the deal.

64:15You're one step ahead of me. You already know what I want to do. like you need to trade for both a better quarterback and

64:21a tight end because look at your bench.

64:24On your bench you have Jonathan Brooks, Bashel Tutin, Josh Jacobs, Christian Watson, Michael Pitman. So at this point you just have a ridiculous amount of

64:34value here.

64:36So I would very much want you to go through and see if there's a way that you could try to upgrade over Brock

64:44Party. I know Brock Party obviously just had himself a phenomenal game. He looked really good, scored a ton of fantasy points, and hell, maybe that makes it

64:52easier to go through and trade a running back with Brock Party and get to

65:02an upgrade like Josh Allen. Maybe again, it makes it easier. And then similar thing over there with tight end of Michael Mayer. Because here's the

65:12deal. one. It already would be super advantageous for us to go ahead and upgrade tight end and

65:25quarterback based on the depth that we have on our bench.

65:29But if we also add on the fact that you can pick up Marshon Lloyd, Debo

65:45Samuel, Rashad White for literally free.

65:48It just makes it a no-brainer. And look at how much better your team is than everybody else in this league. I would

65:55offer Bree Hall, Michael Mayer for Trey McBride.

66:00I would offer Brock Pery, Bay Shell Tudin for Josh Allen.

66:06Hell, maybe even take it one step further and you go Pertie and ETN for Josh Allen and then the Party and Bay Shel Tutin

66:15deal would be instead for Lamar.

66:20Maybe you go Devont Smith and Or honestly at this point I wouldn't even mind doing the London

66:32and mayor for McBride deal especially with the injury that we have to Tua.

66:48So again, I think it makes a lot of sense for you to potentially go through, upgrade QB, upgrade tight ends in almost

66:58any way that you can here, man.

67:02Because again, like even this deal where the trade calculator says that you slightly lose, well, what if we get to just pick up Marshon Lloyd for literally

67:12free? then all of a sudden it takes it from a deal that you slightly lose to a deal that makes sense. So again, I think

67:22I would go through I would try our best to see if we can get that upgrade at QB or tight end, but you already know that.

67:29So appreciate you, my friend. Now let's go over to Patrick.

67:36Says, "New Dynasty League. Looking for some feedback. We had the sixth pick. If this is a brand new Dynasty League and

67:43these teams at the top are this far ahead of the teams at the bottom.

67:47Insane. Truly is. Now looking at where we are, hell yeah. We are the team

67:57at the top. That is phenomenal.

67:59Um going through quarterback, we are currently sitting with Herz Mendoza. It is a one quarterback league. Obviously, Mendoza a

68:09lot more exciting from a um dynasty perspective than a reddraft perspective. So, really like where we stand at QB.

68:20Going over to running back, we have the combination of Genty Judkins.

68:25Two running backs that'll be exciting to start in the short term and also should be better in the long term. So,

68:31phenomenal group at the top. We have the depth of like Jonah Coleman, the depth of Kenneth Gainwell, really strong running back room. And then we look at

68:40the wide receiver room. And this is how you have the best team in this league.

68:44We have the combination of JSN, George Pickkins, Garrett Wilson, Roma Dunay, Casey Conception, and Jordan Addison.

68:58So phenomenal group at wide receiver and it goes so damn deep. and we have the elite tight end. So, here's the deal.

69:04Looking at the waiverwire, maybe I would be willing to like go ahead and cut Chris Bell for like Jordan Love because Fernando Mendoza is not

69:16starting early on, but it is a dynasty league. So, I understand if you wanted to go through and if you wanted to hold

69:22on to Chris Bell, but in terms of trades, there's nothing that you need to do.

69:31There's nothing I would be super interested in doing.

69:36I think you are in an incredible situation and you drafted an incredibly strong team.

69:42Like unbelievable here. Truly is. But um I wish I had something for you, man.

69:49I wish I had more than I did. I truly do.

69:53Now, let's go over and let's check out our next team. This going to be from Reyes. says, "Just looking for people I

69:59should trade and who I should trade them for." Okay, so we are the number one team in this league. Keep in mind, this

70:07is a superflex format.

70:10So, with this being a superflex league, it is a pretty big deal for us to have this much value tied up to the

70:18quarterback position. Now, what kind of sucks is the fact that it's a 10 team Superflex league as opposed to a 12T

70:25teamer. Because if it was a 12TR, then at that point we could go through and we could say, "All right, well, um, we can

70:33find a team that needs Brock Party.

70:35Let's try to sell them Brock Party and get something significant in return."

70:41Or, oh, we can find a team that needs Tyler Shuck. Let's sell them Tyler Shuck and Raadre and get a better running

70:47back, too.

70:50But that's not the case here. You're not going to be able to make that move.

70:57um 10 team leagues. Everybody's going to have enough quarterback production to go around. I mean, we can go through and cycle through some of these. This team

71:04doesn't have a third quarterback. Like I would be interested in seeing if you could trade them like the combo of Tyler

71:10Shuck as well as maybe you're not. I was going to say like if you go Brock Perie and Bucky Irving and

71:19get to Devon Chan, I think that'd make a ton of sense here.

71:24And again, I wouldn't do that in most superflex leagues, but you're in a situation which you have four starters.

71:30This team has three QBs. This team has three QBs. This team has three QBs. This team is three QBs. And this is the

71:36problem with a 10 team league. This team is three QBs. This team's quarterback room is garbage. And they have McCaffrey, James Cook, and Jamar Chase.

71:44You absolutely have to try to make a deal with this team. I'm going through and I'm offering them right this second.

71:50like Tyler Shuck, who would be a significant upgrade inside their starting lineup, and a wide receiver to see if we can get an upgraded Chase.

71:57Could we go Tyler Shuck and Drake London for Jamar Chase in the Super Flex League?

72:05Um, I would absolutely love to make that pivot.

72:10Is there any world in which you could go through and do the combo of like

72:25actually we need to find what else this team has really because this is really the only team we're going to be able to

72:29deal with. Could you send them Caleb and Robadre Stevenson for James Cook?

72:35This team only has two quarterbacks.

72:43Could you try sending them Caleb and Raandre and get up to Ashen Genty?

72:50This team just lost Darnold. They actually need a quarterback as well.

72:53Like all the teams at the bottom of the league analyzer here need QBs. Could you send them the combination of like Tyler

72:59Shuck and Drake London for Aman Ross St.

73:01Brown?

73:03That would be like an easy no-brainer win-win deal for both parties here.

73:16But yeah, the very clear move is if you can, what you want to do is you want to try to sell off some of this quarterback

73:26value and instead you want to see if you can get an upgrade elsewhere, whether that's at a running back, wide receiver,

73:33or tight end. Really, whatever those teams that need help at quarterback ask.

73:40Now, um, waiverwire pivots. For me, I would rather have Chris Rodriguez and Kayn Black over Jaylen McMillan. Um, Kale Black's already played though, so you're

73:52not going to be able to pick him up right now. But realistically, you could go through and you could pick up

73:58Rodriguez. So, um, please cut Jaylen McMillan, pick up Chris Rodriguez.

74:04There's a chance Rodriguez is the starting running back here for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And Jaylen McMillan most likely is not even gonna

74:11play this week.

74:15Now looking at wide receiver off the waiver

74:27wire, like if you had an IR slot, obviously I would say at that point that it would be a necessity for you to go

74:35through and for you to pick up Tyson and throw him

74:50on your IR. But my assumption is going to be that if you could have, you already would have.

74:56But again, if you can, please, for the love of God, make sure you do it.

75:03And then yeah, that's all I got for you.

75:05Interesting team, my guy. I really do appreciate you. Now, let's move this over to Dr. Ant. Says, "This is a 14

75:11team league.

75:14Pick from the eighth spot.

75:17I feel my team isn't horrible, would love to hear your thoughts on potential trades that I may be able to make to

75:23strengthen my team."

75:26All right, we are controll.

75:31We are the 13th team in the league analyzer.

75:36Who did you take in the second round, man?

75:40I know it's a 14 team format, but still, please tell me we did not take Oh, dear God.

75:54Tell me we didn't take Javvante Williams in round two.

76:02I really hope we didn't. But looking at the team as it stands right now, quarterback, we have Caleb. Obviously, we like Caleb in a 14amer, especially

76:12running back, we have Javvante and Montgomery.

76:1810 team league, this is a garbage running back room.

76:2112 team league, this is a bad running back room. In a 14 team league, this is a completely fine running back room.

76:29It's not super strong, but again, it is completely fine.

76:35Wide receiver, we have the combination of of Monro St. Brown, Terry McLaren, we have Isaiah likely at tight ends,

76:50Parker Washington and the flex. So, here's the problem.

76:56This team doesn't have any strengths anywhere realistically.

77:14like you're only I guess weak at tight ends, but like you're you don't have expendable value where it's like, "Oh yeah, let's easily just make this trade,

77:25upgrade this position, blah blah blah."

77:26You can't do that here. You don't have the value to do it.

77:30So, what I'd be looking to do, man, is you just got to be a waverwire demon.

77:35Like obviously I would be placing our bid now for Kalin Black because what it would need to happen for this team is

77:45you would need to be able to pick up somebody like Kalin Black off the waiverwire and then all of a sudden we

77:50were to get an injury to McCaffrey and then he shoots up in value.

77:57At least in my opinion, that's like the big thing that we would need to see for this roster is

78:08just kind of finding free value off waiverss because you don't have any expendable value to use in a trade at this point.

78:16Now, let's move this over to Logan.

78:22Says, "Hey, Mason, won both leagues last year. Shout out you. loving the team and my king JSN just a little nervous about

78:30flex options right now. Wondering what you would do if you had this team. Um making trades in this league because no

78:39one answers or are scared. Okay, so tough to make trades in this league.

78:43Main thing we want to be looking at is potential waiverwire pivots.

78:48Looking at where we stand currently at QB, we have Lamar Jackson. So obviously when we have Lamar, we don't need a

78:54backup quarterback. We don't need to be rostering Jordan Love here. Completely fine to go through and keep him on the waiverwire.

79:01Now looking at running back, we are currently sitting with the combination of Bejian Robinson as well as Karen Williams. We have Remandre Stevenson

79:10running back three, Marshon Lloyd running back four, and then we have our own handcuff with Brian Robinson. So super strong running back room, right?

79:17Yeah, the best running back room in this league. Um, I will say that while Blake Cororm looked really good yesterday, Karen Williams was still like

79:28one of the only viable players in this offense. And in a game in which this offense fell apart, he was the one who

79:34got the only touchdown. So, a running back looks good. And we have JSN. So, I see this is a oneplayer keeper. My

79:43assumption with this is you drafted JSN super late last year, so

79:56you got to keep him at a super appealing cost, right?

80:03And then tight end, you have Kyle Pittz and Dalton Concaid.

80:08So, as we cycle through in terms of waiverwire pivots that stand out to us, there is nothing, man.

80:17Even in terms of like if your league mates were active in trades, our team is the best team in the league,

80:24but it's not the best team in the league because we are hoarding a bunch of value down on our bench that we need to go

80:31through. We need to make a two for one deal to get an upgrade in the lineup to sell that off.

80:43real quick. I'm getting a call.

80:46What's good, Pooky? You're on stream.

80:49>> Screen's frozen, bro.

80:51>> Screen's frozen. All right. Much much love. Much love. Thank you.

80:55>> I got you, babe.

80:56>> All right. Um, shout out the zoo. Shout out Zufa for saving y'all here. Um, let me go ahead

81:05and fix this.

81:10Okay, we are back. Shout out to Zoo. Can we please get some W's in the chat for Zufa?

81:19W's in the chat for Zufa.

81:23But here, going back to it, you don't have a ridiculous amount of expendable value down on the bench where it's like, hey,

81:32we can very easily just go through and like sell Jordan and Cal Pitts and get an upgrade at tight end here. You kind

81:38of need that depth. So, even if your league mates made a ton of trades, I still don't really think I'd be

81:47looking to do much here. I still think I would kind of just be chilling, sitting on our hands. So, I think you got a damn

81:52good team, man. Like, obviously, it's kind of a cheat code if you have the combination of Bejon and JSN somehow on

81:59the same roster.

82:00Now, let's go over to our next team.

82:03This one's going to be from Mikey. says, "I think the team is solid, but the greed in my soul is telling me to take

82:11advantage of the Brock situation. I'm thinking about offering Tyler Warren and Quinton Johnston or Tyler Warren and JMO for Brock. What do you think?" Also,

82:21love the channel. Thanks for all you do.

82:22I really appreciate you, my guy. And I will say that your mind is in the right place because here's the deal.

82:33This is a setup in which you have great players available to you

82:42on the waiverwire.

82:45Like you can very easily backfill depth in a league like this, right?

82:55Quarterback, we have the combination of Caleb and Bo Nicks.

83:00Running back, we have Bejon Walker, Javvante Brooks. Brooks is your running back four. J Mo's your wide receiver four.

83:12Quinton Johnson's your wide receiver five.

83:16So, like what would it look like if you were to go through and you were to say sell the combination of

83:29J Mo and Tyler Warren to get to Brock Bowers.

83:33Let's put together that kind of deal.

83:36And I'll say real quick, we have no idea when Bowers is coming back, right? So, the trade calculator is even saying that

83:41you lose this trade slightly.

83:46But big butt on this one, you would get to pick up Mai Lemon for completely free off the waiver wire. And

83:54that makes this a fair trade.

83:58So because you have such strong names out there on waiverss, these guys like Jameson Williams, Quinton Johnston,

84:06they don't have the same value that they would in a league like the Flock League, right? the league that I play in where

84:14it's a 12 team double flex format.

84:17So, I really like the idea of you going through and you trying to make a trade like that. Shoot for the stars. Go for

84:26the ceiling because in this kind of league that's kind of the only thing that matters.

84:36And then outside of that in terms of like waiverwire pivots that you want, there's nothing. I will say it would be

84:42very very easy for you and we'll see if your league mates would accept to go through and ever like try to up tier for

84:49receiver, right? Like try to sell Z Flowers and J Mo and pivot up to like Nico Collins. Calculator has this as

84:57like a fair deal, but if you were to then take into account the fact that you'd be able to just again pick up Mai

85:04Limit off the waiver wire for free, then it's a very clear win for you. So, um, I would try two for one tier ups, sell

85:12wide receiver depth if you ever get the ability to, but again, of course, it will be much, much easier said than

85:19done.

85:20Okay, but I appreciate you and I hope I was able to help you out in some way with that.

85:26Now, let me go ahead and we're going to take out the best ball portfolios. We'll save those for another day.

85:35get this next team review going for Nugsy Bogus says, "Hey Mason, your website, Actually, real quick before we get into this, let me give away some

85:43free questions in the live chat real quick. Um, I know that what we are saying is we are hopefully going to get through

85:52like all the questions on flockfantasy.com tonight. we're going to be fully caught up and that means either late tonight in the stream or

86:01tomorrow um and Sunday morning we're going to be able to just answer a ton of free questions in the live chat which will be

86:57being caught up with everything, which is incredible.

87:00Okay, let's give this away to Redden.

87:08See if I can find you on the site, my friend.

87:14just found you and just sent you over a couple free questions. Appreciate you hanging out with us in this live stream.

87:22Let's send this next one out to Sam D.

87:25Fantasy 34.

87:32Looks like there are two accounts with this username. One that was created in both were created in 2025 on the same day. So, we are going to

87:41send a free We're going to send one free question to both of them. Make sure you at least get one.

87:48Now, let's send this next one out to Soggy Potato.

87:56Just found you, my friend. Appreciate you sticking with me for so long. And let me send you over some free questions

88:02as well. But, okay, perfect. Now, let's move over and let's get to this next one. Says, "Hey, Mason, your websites

88:13really helped me improve in the margins and make an overall better fantasy manager. I was wondering specifically about this team if there are any areas

88:22that I may be overlooking that I need to improve on. It's a 12 team PPR league.

88:28Keep up the great work, dude. Thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate you and I'm excited to go through and

88:32check this out." So, we are the number one team in the league. And not only are we the number one team in the league,

88:39but we are the number one team by a decent margin as well.

88:46Like go through and look at the next best team. They don't come close to us in terms of total value. Now, it is a

88:52two receiver, one flex. So, I would love to have an elite quarterback here. Now, of course, if we are looking at what we

88:58have with Brock Pery, um Brock Perie played incredibly well, incredibly well yesterday. We obviously started him.

89:06He's the only quarterback that we have on our team and we should feel very happy about that. So,

89:12uh like to see what we have here at QB.

89:18Running back, we have Genty Hampton Tutin. Rashad Whites our running back four. Wide receiver, we have JS. Here's the deal. How do you have JSN, Genty,

89:28and Amari and Hampton on the same team, especially in a 12 team format?

89:35That just simply shouldn't happen.

89:46Like genuinely, how how is that possible?

89:50I would like to maybe eventually long-term get like a true full-blown stud even better than Brock Party at QB, but you can't do so right this second

90:01because right this second we are going to be waiting for like a Carnell Tate breakout Roma to show us that he's healthy as well as

90:12Bashel Tuton to prove that he is somebody that we can rely upon him. So, like we have a lot of these mid-tier

90:18players on our team that have a really high ceiling, but at the same time, their floor is pretty low. I think we

90:25should want to wait, make sure that they do end up hitting their ceiling. But if that happens, then at that point, I

90:33think you could very easily convince yourself that it makes a lot of sense for us to go ahead and for us to try to

90:40sell the combination of like Bay Shell Tutin and Brock Party if it gets us up to like Josh Allen Lamar.

90:48Again, not doing it right this second, but that would be something that we want to potentially throw out as a possibility for um halfway through the

90:59year once we have confirmation about these mid-tier, high upside shots that we have that have low floors.

91:06But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way here, man. But again, I think you had a

91:13great team, phenomenal team.

91:16Now, let's go over to Drip with the sauce. Says, "Hey, Mason, love the content and first time subscribing.

91:23Thank you, my friend. Liked my draft overall, but wondering if there are any moves I should make for running backs or

91:29not anything else."

91:32Okay, so we are the number one team in this league against Close, which is incredibly impressive considering the

91:42fact that you drafted Brock Bowers.

91:48I mean, maybe you didn't draft Brock Bowers. Maybe this was just I don't know. You traded for Brock Bowers at a discount later and that's

92:00still how you have so much roster. I mean a value on this roster.

92:07But if that wasn't the case and instead this was a setup in which like you drafted him and you still somehow super

92:16flexly we have Caleb Lawrence Willis. So we have two quarterbacks we can consistently bank on and then a high upside guy with his rushing.

92:32Going over to running back, we have the combination of Christian McAffrey, Jadarian Price, Tony Pard, Chuba Hubard, Mike

92:42Washington.

92:47Looks damn good, man.

92:51Wide receiver depth is going to matter.

92:53It's a league in which not only do you have the super flex but at the same time you have the two flex spots. We have

92:59Puka Neighbors Wadd Tate Quinton Johnston. We have plenty of it. And then tight end. While we have Bowers, we also have Dalton Kid to play here in the

93:07meantime.

93:09So man, this is a very good team.

93:24I think you honestly one you need to cut Mike Washington for Chris Rodriguez. Um it looks like at this point we do have

93:33full health for Ashen Genty. He's 100%.

93:37So Mike Washington not that interesting anymore. Second thing is Chris Rodriguez could just be the straightup running back um a starting running back in

93:45Jacksonville. We don't know.

93:47Um, and I think you just wait until you get

93:58Brock Bowers and Jordan Tyson back and the team's going to be that much even better, man. Phenomenal team. I wish I

94:04had more for you.

94:06Now, let's move this over to Skullified.

94:08It says, "Important. It's a 12 team very shallow starting lineup. It is a two receiver, single flex, and single

94:17running back.

94:24I'm currently trying to trade Herbert and Burton for Lamar. Already traded Jonathan Taylor for Hampton and Garrett Wilson and then flipped Wilson for Lad

94:33straight up. So, here's the deal, man.

94:36I'm'll be honest with you. If it's a league in which you only start one running back, two receivers, and one flex,

94:45I think you sold with the Jonathan Taylor trade.

94:48That JT trade.

95:00One second.

95:16But that JT trade, you're giving up the best player and you're getting an additional starter. You don't need an additional starter. Like Roma Dunce is

95:24on the bench of this team.

95:27I like the Lamar deal because in such a shallow format like this, quarterback's just going to make up a higher percentage of your starting lineup

95:35output weekly. So, you making that Lamar trade makes a ton of sense.

95:43But again, I'll be honest.

95:47I don't feel the same way when it comes to the Jonathan Taylor one. I would have

95:57rather had Jonathan Taylor over Amari and Lad in this format. In my the format I play in, I would have 100% I would

96:04trade Jonathan Taylor for that in heartbeat. I have JT on my team. He'd be out the door yesterday if I could get

96:09that done. But my league is a league in which you have to start two running backs and two flex spots.

96:26I would also say at this point maybe now that you picked up the extra wide receiver because it's a league in which you only

96:33start two receivers in a flex.

96:37Maybe we go through and maybe we try to get an upgrade there at tight ends instead of having Dallas Gddard. Could

96:46you try to sell the combination of like Lad and Gddard and see if you can get up to like obviously McBride would be our

96:54first offer. It's not going to be likely.

96:57But I mean, I would even go like Lad and Gddard in this kind of format for Bowers cuz here's the deal.

97:06And again, my league where it's deep, double flex, blah blah blah, you've already heard it. Um, making a trade like this would kind of

97:14screw you because you really do need the depth.

97:17But for you, you would just slide Roma into your starting lineup and you wouldn't skip a beat.

97:28So, I think you should probably try to trade for a better tight end at this point.

97:36But again, in general, in this kind of league, I never want to put us in a situation in which we are giving up the

97:45best player and we are down tiering for two.

97:50Now, let's move this over to profits.

97:52profit says home leagues and I how the hell, man.

97:58Home league and I got Gibbs at the 103.

98:04Literally absurd.

98:08You better have the best team in this league. And do I trade bench positions for another top tier player? Do we let

98:14it ride? Thanks, Mason. Good luck this season. First things first, man. Thank you so much for sticking with me for so

98:19long. I know you've been with me forever. Um, and second things second, it's a 10 team, two receiver, one flex league. So, we look at your starting

98:31lineup right now. You have Jameson Williams, Luther Burden, I'm sorry, your bench. You have Jameson Williams, Luther Burden, and Jordan Addison all out there

98:40on the bench.

98:43So, for me, I very much would say, "Yeah, let's go through and let's see if we could sell Luther Burton and Dak Prescott and

99:01get to a true elite QB, which I know Dak is fine, don't get me wrong, like especially if you have him with

99:10Kyler Murray because you can play the match and you can find yourself in a very good position.

99:20But like realistically, you trade Luther Burden, you're also in that case just going to be able to pick up Mai Lemon for

99:31literally free.

99:40So, I would go like, "Hey, can I send you Dak?" Try to get to Josh Allen. Go, "Hey, I'll I'll give you Luther Burden

99:49any shot this gets." I mean, Jameson Williams, I'll give you Luther Burden.

99:54Or I would also see like, "Hey, can you send Kyle Pittz?"

100:01And I honestly may even sell Drake London and Pitts in this league as crazy as it is for Trey McBride.

100:10Obviously the calculator has you losing this deal, but if you go over to the waiverwire and we consider the fact that you're going to

100:19be able to just add Mai Lemon for literally free looks a lot better in that instance.

100:26So yes, man, you have an incredible team. you have so much value on your bench at the same time that I think it would be super

100:37advantageous for us to try to take some of this bench value and upgrade QB, upgrade tight ends and see what we could get in the

100:52starting lineup, man. But yeah, I think you're in a really really good spot here.

100:58And clearly like having Gibbs, Jefferson, London on the same team shouldn't be allowed. And Breeze like should not be allowed.

101:07Now going over to our next one. This is going to be from Not Oliver, another longtime member of the flock. Says,

101:14"Thinking of trading Bree Hall for McAffrey straight up." So anybody who's wondering, this is a dynasty league.

101:20That's why that would be possible.

101:22Obviously, if it was not in a dynasty format, impossible.

101:27But, um, what moves do I need to be making here? I like my picks for next year with contending status. Um,

101:34WB is rated so heavily on the site that it's keeping me from the top rank. I think I don't know what you mean by WB.

101:42Um, who do I need to start at wide receiver? Appreciate you. Always been a big help. Again, I really appreciate you

101:47as well, my guy. I know you've stuck with me forever now. So, this is a Dak Baker team. We have Bejon and Chase

101:54Brown. So, we should be near the top when it comes to running back value.

101:56Yeah, we are currently here at two. Now, here's the deal. When it comes to where we sit with the rookie picks, we do not

102:06have our own 27 first. Now, we have a 27 first, which is good to see, but we don't have our own. So, we don't have

102:16our own here. I very much would be interested in seeing if we could go through and seeing if we could try to

102:21push our chips in the middle and be a contender. And it actually looks like you were able to trade Bree for CMC

102:28straight up, which considering the fact that I think you should push your chips in to be a contender, I think that makes

102:34a ton of sense.

102:36Now, looking at where we stand with this rookie pick, it is the teach me team.

102:43And the teach me how to Bucky is the worst team in this league when it comes to dynasty value.

102:53When it comes to their contending values, they're up at 11. But still, that 27 first that you have has a damn

103:01good chance to be extremely early. This team has no depth at all and their quarterback position is a train wreck.

103:10So, I very much want to hold on to that 27 first, even if we would really like to go through and try to contend for the

103:20long term here. I'm sorry, contend in the short term. Like, I think long-term valuewise, we should go ahead and hold on to that.

103:30Now, um looking at quarterback, we have Dak

103:52Baker, Shuck, perfectly fine. Running back, we have Bejian, CMC, Chase Brown.

103:56Our lineup at the moment is literally goated. Our flexes are Chase Brown, Lad McConi, and then we have Lovelin at tight end,

104:05and then down on the bench, we have the depth of like Marv, Brian Thomas that we can still get in this lineup. Man, you

104:12have a phenomenal team.

104:24Um, trying to go through and

104:40think about any moves that you could make. I don't think there is anything because again what I would go back to

104:48here is I would go back to the fact that you

105:03need to hold on to that 27 first because it looks like it has a chance to be the 101 or the 102. So phenomenal squad. I

105:12leave this as is, man.

105:14But let me go ahead and pull up our next team. And this next one's going to be Mr. Bullseye where here quarterback we're looking at

105:25Lawrence vers Shock. Both in great spots, but we're going to play Lawrence.

105:29And then in the flex, I'm gonna go JO over Christian Watson. Um Jameson Williams is just supposed to be in an

105:35offense that's going to score so many freaking points that I'd be crazy to not start him. So yeah, I think you do need

105:42to go through and you just absolutely need to jam them in.

105:46Okay, now looking at this next team, we have JC Shipbright.

106:01Quarterback, we are currently sitting between Caleb and Goff.

106:06Four-point passing touchdown. Give me the rushing upside of Caleb. Running back, Breece Javante are your auto starts. wide receiver JSN Pickins are

106:14your auto starts. Tight end, we have Jawan since we're missing Bowers. And then in the flex man, I probably would start Brian Thomas over Cardell Tate in

106:23his first game ever. But again, I wouldn't fault you if you wanted to go through and if you wanted to play

106:36Cardell Tate, it would just be tough for me. It really would.

106:41Now going over to Brendan's question.

106:47Um, quarterback, you have Daniels.

106:49Again, I would say Daniels is not somebody we're super excited about starting given the matchup, but you're definitely putting him here.

106:59Running back between Trevian Cororm and Rashad White. Obviously, these two guys already played, so I'm assuming you're going Rashad White. I would have told

107:09you to go Blake Corm over Rashad White.

107:11That's how I had my rankings, which honestly may end up being the wrong call.

107:16Okay, A-Rod says, "Let me know if I should wait based on my team or accept it."

107:28AJ Brown verse Trevion and JO, you got to do it, man. The holdup I would have is because

107:39you are in a shallower format where your team is really good. Like you could get through the AJ Brown injury, don't get

107:47me wrong, but this is just a safe price to pivot off. It really is.

107:57Okay, now our next question from Michael. Trading Brown for Waddle. It's a no-brainer.

108:05Again, here's the deal. We don't know when Brown's coming back. And even when he does, there's a damn good chance that

108:13he's severely limited.

108:19So, I would I would move off AJ Brown if I got the chance to do so at that kind of cost.

108:27Now, our next question.

108:30Ryan Rose says, "Hey, Mason, just wanted to know how to upgrade my team. Happy PPR. Also, love the videos. Hope you

108:38beat Avery week one and hope S becomes the league dons. I really appreciate you, my friend, and I promise you I want

108:45the same exact thing. Now, let's go ahead and let's pull this up. So, first things first, it sounds crazy, but like

108:55god dang, I I would I would obviously I would not end up doing it, but I mean I would consider playing love over Daniels

109:03based on how bad that freaking Daniels matchup is this week, but running back, we have Swift Genty.

109:12So, solid running back one, solid running back two combo.

109:17Going over to wide receiver, we have Jamar Chase as well as Lad McConi.

109:24We have Josh D, wide receiver three.

109:36Tight end, we have Sam Leaporta, Britain Strange. Man, this is an incredibly wellbalanced team. Like it's going to be tough to say to do much here because

109:43like if you go through and you look at your bench, you have no depth pieces on the bench that are worth anything,

109:49right? So like when we have no depth pieces on the bench worth anything, we are not going to be able to go through

109:56and say like, "Oh, okay. Yeah, let's easily just see if we could sell Kyle Manungai and Lad Mcconi for an upgrade."

110:04Like nobody's training for Kyle Manungai.

110:08And at the same time, you have no team needs. The lowest position you have ranked in the league analyzer is running

110:13back and it's at eighth. Like you've covered every single thing you'd potentially need here.

110:22So I would say looking at this that I think you leave it as is. If there were any pivots, it would be made

110:32on the waiver wire, which there are no incredible names that are sitting out there on waivers. So, I don't even think

110:38you need to do anything there.

110:44So, yeah, I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this, but I know I

110:50wasn't. And the reason is is you already got a damn good team, man. I don't necessarily think you need my help, but

110:56I appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out again, even though I wasn't. Now going over to Chase,

111:05trading Hampton to upgrade a Bjon.

111:08St. Brown paying to do it. And we Okay.

111:13God dang. St. Brown and Hampton versus Bejon Swift Medaf. Gainwell and Marver.

111:19Very I'm sorry.

111:22Let me just look at the team. Running back after we' have Bejon Swift ETN.

111:27Great running back room. wide receiver after we'd have Marv DK Rome Addison.

111:34Here's the deal.

111:38Can you afford to trade away a Monroe St. Brown once AJ Brown goes down?

111:48Like, can we afford a significantly upgrade? I mean, downgrade at wide receiver. Now, I know we're hypothetically picking up an additional

111:54starter, but the thing is I don't even know if Marv I don't even know if DK Mechaf are startable.

112:03So, you do this deal if you think that Marv and DK Medaf are going to absolutely smash. Sure.

112:13And you're and you're really high on them and you go like, "Hey, I need these guys. They're startable." Blah blah blah.

112:24But if not, like it is a tough trade to make, man. I know you lost Adri Brown, so I know you're feeling it, but still.

112:31Now we got Fuji Apple. Always happy to see you, Fuji. I'm going to go ahead and make sure you got some more free start

112:37set questions in your account. Um, let's check out the flex. Flex is between Quinton Johnston and Rico Dattle. It's a PPR format. So, I'm gonna go through and

112:48I'm actually gonna get Quinton Johnston in here.

112:56Like, realistically with Johnston, we know what the role is. We know how we can project him out.

113:07However, when we go over and when we look at like Rico Dattle, we are just straight up guessing.

113:18Now, next one. Bucks to the bowl between JMO and Burden. I'm going to go JMO now that Roma Dun is officially playing here

113:29for the flex.

113:38I think we go with DeAndre Swift. It's a really good game environment and you have the guaranteed touches and Cal Manungai did miss a lot of time.

113:47So, of course, Manungai is back now at this point, but it wouldn't be the most surprising thing in the world if he has a limited

113:56role early on.

114:00Okay, now this next one from Kegar says, "Running back, we have Derk Henry, DeAndre Swift,

114:11Rico Dattle, Baron Lloyd. Tight end we have Travis Kelce and we need some help." Sorry, tight end we have Concaid.

114:21You can afford to do this if you want.

114:24Like I have them ranked effectively back to back. Obviously, you have a bigger need at tight end than you do running

114:29back.

114:31So, like, by all means, go ahead and make this trade. But, um, for me in my league where it's a little bit deeper,

114:41I would probably rather have Marshon Lloyd. But, here in this one, I think you can definitely go after Kyle Pittz.

114:52Okay, now our next question is going to be from Straight Cash here for the flex.

115:06We are looking at Harvey Hubard, Tate, Thomas, Diggs, King Kaid.

115:13I'm for sure going to go Thomas in one of these spots. The concern will be they won't throw the ball a ton in the second

115:19half, but still I think you got to play him.

115:22And then between Hubard, Harvey, Taton Diggs, man, it's so damn tough.

115:29I probably go Carnell Tate, but man, it feels horrible.

115:36Like again, I know I've said this a bunch, but I do not want to be playing Cardinal Tate in his first game ever.

115:51like it's a brand new coaching staff.

115:55We haven't really I don't know. I know the matchup isn't that scary. I get that. But still.

116:05Now going over to our next question here.

116:09Parth Vader, quarterback between Daniels and Malik Willis.

116:15Malik Willis has the much better matchup. And honestly, it's embarrassing to admit that this is closeish.

116:23But yeah, I would go with Jaden Daniels over Willis.

116:27Running back between Jeremiah Love, Brooks, Lloyd, I'm going to go with Jeremiah Love, assuming he plays.

116:34I mean, yes, ton of very concerning things about that. And yes, uh it's not the easiest thing in the world.

116:45Now, Chris Carr, quarterback between Daniels and Lawrence. I'm going Lawrence this week.

116:54Running back between Toutin, Pard, Kairen, Harvey, Alier, Spears. I'm going to I'm assuming you already played Kiran, right? I think that's a safe assumption. I've played

117:05Toutin in the other spot. Wide receiver Jefferson and St. Brown are auto starts.

117:10tight ends between Craft and Concaid probably Craft.

117:15And then for your flexes, you're gonna go with Tedell McMillan and Jaylen Wadd.

117:19Now Marley, the best player you have on your bench right now is DeAndre Swift. I would consider getting Swift in, but

117:27your team's just too good. Like I think DeAndre Swift's in a really good spot, and I would want to start him if we

117:32could, but like realistically, who are we going to be able to take out there?

117:40can't take out Rice. Can't take out Han.

117:42Can't take out Hampton.

117:44So, you leave that as is.

117:47Now, our next question is going to be from Anfield. For the flex,

117:58we have Wilson Washington as the two names really we're looking at. I guess maybe you can throw in Marshon Lloyd into that mix as well. I'm

118:08Garrett Wilson pretty easily. I'm not expecting Omar Cooper or Kenyan Sadi, the round one picks that they had this year to really make any impact

118:14whatsoever early on. So, I think it's the pretty easy spot to just say play Garrett Wilson.

118:21Now, King B here at wide receiver, we're going to take the combo of London Ibuka.

118:28Now, at this point that they're coming out and they're telling us that neighbors is questionable.

118:34Um, I'm changing my tune with the neighbors star. Like if you have Ibuka, I would just play Igbuka over him.

118:40And then in your flexes, I would go with Luther Burden, maybe Burden Watson to be honest, if you

118:50wanted to play it super super safe. And then obviously pivot to Neighbors if we get good Neighbors news.

118:59But your team's good enough where I don't know if you need to take the risk with neighbors.

119:11Now Drock trading away Price and Terren Ferguson for Scat and Spears. Price to Terren Ferguson in my opinion. I'm

119:21sorry. Okay. Price to Scataboo. I'd rather have Scataboo. And then Ferguson's a zero and Spear's pretty close to a zero as well. So those don't

119:30matter. I would rather have scat overpriced.

119:34Now our next question is from Tohi here for the flex between Luther Burden. Um you already benched Mike Evans. It looks

119:43like it's really Luther Burton or Marshon Lloyd. I'd probably go ahead and I'd probably play Luther Burton. We're pretty damn confident that Luther

119:50Burton's good at the game of football.

119:52We have no idea.

119:56And I mean, we have no idea at all if we can say the same thing when it comes to Marshall Lloyd.

120:05Now, Scythesar trading away Romeo Dobs for Kalin Black.

120:10I would very easily rather have Kayen Black at this point.

120:15Jam says, "Had Bowers go down." So, we picked up Gddard.

120:20Surprised we picked up Gddard. Um, but we need help with the flex. Okay, let's look at this. Uh, wide receiver here is

120:27actually a pretty tough shout. Probably go Garrett Wilson with Waddle having a really tough matchup. Probably go

120:37Travis Tienne in the running back two hole. And then for the flex, the interesting names that you

120:47would be looking at would be one, Jaylen Wadd, which again, tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. two Cam Scataboo, which I actually really like

120:57the game environment for Scat. Um, the overunder of that game against Dallas, I think, is like 48 and a half points.

121:05And three, Christian Watson, which is a tough matchup for Watson. But with that being said, you are in a spot in which you can say

121:16like, "Oh, okay. Well, maybe they need to go through it. Maybe they need to throw the ball consistently if they don't have Josh Jacobs." So, I think you

121:27can make a strong argument for honestly any one of those guys, but

121:36I probably take Cam Scataboo. Again, if you wanted to wait, see him off the ankle injury, I wouldn't fault you for

121:45it at all, but I think as it stands right now, I would go scat.

121:51Okay, now Ley here for the flex.

121:56Um, pretty easy shout to go with Roma.

121:59Your next best name would be Quinton Johnston, but we got word today that it looks like Rome is going to be good to

122:04go.

122:06Now, our next question coming out from AJK here at tight ends says, "Do I start craft or do I pick up Jawan Jennings?" I

122:14mean, assuming you met me Jawan Johnson.

122:16So, let me see who you'd have to cut.

122:20Your cut would probably be Tank Bsby.

122:23Here's the deal. I would rather start Jawan Johnson over Tucker Craft this week. But at the same time, like if you had to cut a big beat to do

122:32that and then all of a sudden Barkley gets injured this week, you're going to feel like the dumbest person on the planet.

122:44So, I would rather start Jawan, but I think there are reasons to be slightly hesitant to cut somebody to make that

122:55call.

122:58Again, just slightly hesitant.

123:04Now, moving over to our next question here.

123:12This next one's going to be from LTN.

123:15You start Bejon.

123:17You start Swift. They're automatic. Wide receiver Nico Garrett Wilson. They're automatic. Tight end Kyle Pittz. And then in your flex spots, you're going to

123:27go with the combo of Jaylen Warren. And then your last one's a little difficult.

123:32I do think we go Josh DS. Um I'm not a big Josh DS guy. I will say um in my league Jinxy has him and S is playing

123:42against Jinxy. So of course I am very much rooting for Josh DS this week and I hope it works out for you brother. I hope it

123:53works out. Now Seth Keegan with this next one. Wide receiver you still have to start London even if Cooper Rush is

124:00his quarterback. And then in the flex we are going to go with Burden. Now Scotty Golf's here for the flex

124:11we're going to take Brian to Brian Thomas verse Marshon Lloyd is going to be a difficult decision again.

124:20I would probably actually go with Lloyd here.

124:31But not easy.

124:37Now, Ryan with this next one says, "AJ Brown injury, Cooper Rush starting have me confused." Here's the deal. Honestly, at quarterback, this may be a crazy

124:47crazy thing to say, but I think you could consider playing Baker Mayfield over Jaden Daniels this week. If it was a six-point pass passing touchdown

124:57format, I would do that. In a four-point pass passing touchdown league, which I'm gonna assume this is, I'd still go with

125:03Daniels, but at least be in the back of my mind.

125:08Going over to running back, I think we're just going to be jamming Breeze, wide receiver. You still jam London, don't get me wrong. And then for your

125:16flex bots, I go Swift and J Mo. Unless we get told specifically

125:27by the time we need to make the decision that Neighbors is good to go, then at that point you play Malik Neighbors over

125:33Jameson Williams.

125:38But I am now getting pretty scared off of it. Pretty scared.

125:46Okay, now TFS Rob says, "Hey Mason, should I make this offer? That team has AJ, so I'm thinking he might accept because of Wadd."

125:59I'm going to be honest. I don't I understand like, oh, they upgrade wide receiver and they lost AJ Brown. So, I

126:05get it from that point of view, but still ultimately they're just swapping a wide receiver, a starting wide receiver for them and a starting tight end for

126:12them.

126:15to a starting wide receiver for them and a starting tight end for them. Like it doesn't change anything for him to be

126:20honest.

126:22Um but regardless um we can go ahead and we can check this out. Waddle to DJ Moore clear downgrade.

126:32Leaporta to Lovelin clear upgrade.

126:35Waddle to Lovelin downgrade. Leaporta to more upgrade. I think this a very very fair deal. I think it's honestly up to

126:43you.

126:46I think it is. So, honestly, I'd go in either direction because it's an eight team league. I probably want the tight end upgrade though of Lovelin.

126:55So, I probably would do it. Now, we got long longtime member of the flock JN out here. JN, I am hope I hope you are doing

127:05well and I hope you are ready for the game tomorrow.

127:10And of course, Hookham Horns. Jayen, let me know in the chat right now. Are you going to be at the game?

127:19Will you be at the game?

127:24But let's look at this from Jackson Dart. Says, "Burden over neighbors week one, Giants plans unclear.

127:32If we don't get clarity by the time you need to make the call, I would be okay with you just deciding to go ahead and

127:39play Luther Burden over neighbors.

127:43Again, I am scared just like you now that we get the word that neighbors is questionable and we don't

127:54know yet.

128:00So, I think it's a very reasonable thing for you to go ahead and for you to make that

128:09pivot.

128:13Okay, now let's see. JN says he will be at the

128:23game. What time is the Texas game tomorrow?

128:29If y'all don't know, I am very boring. I never go to Texas football games because I stream every day. It is at 6:30

128:43tomorrow. So, I probably will not live stream until after that game.

128:47Realistically, I'll probably be live answering questions immediately after that Texas game.

128:56Now, Orca says 18man guillotine league.

129:00We need the safest floor.

129:04Okay, I would still probably go Brooks over Jordan Mason. I think both of them have

129:13very low floors, but Brooks, actually, I guess Jordan Mason's in a good matchup. If you're going floor and floor alone, I think

129:25Jordan Mason has a higher floor than Jonathan Brooks. Brooks probably is the better median projection.

129:35And then down in the flex, I'll take Jordan Addison. We know the role of Addison. I'm pretty damn confident he's a talented player. and the offense

129:41projects to be much better this year.

129:44Now, Taihower here for your flex, we have like Rome, Wandel, Godwin that we could put in the lineup, but honestly, I

129:54think we'd leave this exactly how you have it. I don't think you make any pivots, man. Jack Nicholls for the flex.

130:01Our best name to get in most likely would be Jonathan Brooks. It's either Jonathan Brooks or Trey Tucker.

130:15Which if we are looking at what we have with Trey Tucker, you have no Brock Bowers. So the target share should be

130:22expanded greatly.

130:35I'm trying to sit here and think, but Yeah, it's either Trey Tucker or

130:50Jonathan Brooks. I like the fact that we are already told today that Brooks is going to be fine without limitations.

131:00Okay.

131:14Sorry, one second.

131:31Now, Trip says, "Benches Pierce Watson, Juan Del Harvey, Jawan Shakir. Scared of the Allen matchup. Do we pick up Baker?"

131:41So, I am very much worried about the Josh Allen matchup as well. Obviously, going up against maybe the best defense in the league, if not the best, right up

131:49there as one of them. Here's the deal.

131:52It's Josh Allen. If you drafted Josh Allen and you benched him week one, you should have never drafted him in the

132:00first place.

132:01So, no, do not pick up Baker. You play Josh Allen. And then in terms of players that I would swap from your bench inside

132:10your starting lineup, you could make an argument in my mind to play Christian Watson week one over Jeremiah Love.

132:22That would be the potential swap but would be Watson and Love.

132:29Now going over to our next question.

132:32This is Hans Gruden here. Did not fill out the starting lineup option. So I'm going to send you over another free

132:37start set question to resubmit my friend. Now bouncy accountability says AJ Brown on the injured reserve.

132:44Waddle at wide receiver one. I think this trade helps a lot. I'm very high on waddle. What do you think, man? This is

132:52a no-brainer.

132:56I'm gonna be honest even with this.

133:00I probably, as somebody who has Travis CTN on my team, I'd probably have him ranked too high even

133:08because I was very excited about the um update that we had with.

133:18I mean, I thought Alvin Kabara missing blah blah blah made ETN a jam. Now, now Kamar is back.

133:28Now Kamar's playing So, if you can pivot from ETN to Bucky Irving with Kamar back and get the massive upgrade from Josh

133:39Downs to T. Higgins, it's not even remotely close. It is an absolute jam, man.

133:45Now, Luke trading J Mo to AJ Brown.

133:54If it's a 10 team, two receiver one, I would I would do this if I were you.

134:00I personally have Jameson Williams on my fantasy team and I would not trade him for AJ Brown, but my league is a 12 team

134:08double flex, so the depth matters more.

134:12This is a 10 team single flex, so you have plenty of startable players and the only thing that matters is upside upside

134:19upside upside.

134:21So with this setup specifically, I think you are okay to go ahead and make this move.

134:30But again, um that would be very dependent on your league settings,

134:42which those league settings there again, I think you can get away with it.

134:48Okay, now endersult here, trading away Chase Brown to Bejian Robinson.

134:56Clear upgrade.

134:58Crafta Andrews. Clear downgrade. Reed to McMillan. Who cares Parker Washington and Wadd to Godwin. Clear downgrade.

135:1010. Team, two receiver, one flex.

135:12Afterwards, your wide receiver room would be hot garbage. But you would have Genty and Bejon.

135:22Here's the deal. It's a fair deal and it's going to be up to you.

135:27I typically don't like making trades where you are swapping your entire team for their entire team. Like five player for four player deals, it doesn't

135:39interest me to be honest.

135:42But if you really wanted to do it, by all means, go for it. Your wide receiver room would be really bad afterwards,

135:46though. But at the same time, you could have Bejun Robinson, so it could be worth it. But do we really want to be

135:53trading for Bejon Robinson aggressively at the moment knowing that he has Cooper Rush as his quarterback? I feel like if I'm trading for Bejon, I want at least a

136:021% discount.

136:04Now Ray coming through with this next question here at wide receiver. We are looking at Neighbors Brian Thomas Godwin.

136:13I think I'm going to be planning on neighbors. Of course, neighbors, you have a lot of downside that he ends up

136:20not playing, but those alternative options that you could have to start um are so bad that I would roll the dice.

136:28We'll see what the team says tomorrow as well.

136:31Now, it's just Kev here for your flexes. I'm going to go Jordan Mason and Trevian Henderson.

136:38Actually, I'm I'm an idiot. It's getting late here. I'm sorry. We're going to go Xavier Worthy. Like your other option would be Jaden Reed. And again, you

136:47could maybe make the argument for Reed.

136:49And the argument I would make is, "Oh, okay. Well, they're gonna have to throw the ball. They have no um Josh Jacobs,

136:55yada yada yada."

136:57I'm a Xavier Worthy Sicko fan. For whatever reason, I drafted this dude over Casey Conception in the Flock League. He went to University of Texas

137:05Hookah Morren. I will say it's a horrible matchup going up against the Denver Broncos. A lot of people may say, Reed, don't go Coleman. Don't go Brian

137:12Robinson. Don't go Jaylen Naylor. Tough spot. Now, gun boy always happy to see it says, "Who should I flex? Burden or

137:21stack Watson with love." So, we did get an update today that Roma is going to be playing this game. So, Romaun playing

137:32does make me slightly less intrigued with Luther Burden. I have Burden and Watson ranked literally backtoback in my flex rankings this week.

137:42Um, wasn't one 100% sold on Gainwell over Mason. Thanks for your time and good luck in the Flock League. I really

137:48appreciate you, my friend. So, I will say one thing, just broke in favor of Kenneth Gainwell, and that it sounds like Shawn Tucker is not going to be

137:58playing this week. And if Shawn Tucker is not playing this week, then that's going to put Gainwell in a very interesting setup in which um he is only

138:09going to be competing for touches with Bucky Irving.

138:13So I would understand if you wanted to go gain well. For me, I probably still do prefer Jordan Mason, though. Like Mason's the

138:23lead back in his backfield. It's not the worst matchup in the world here either.

138:28So, I think that's most likely the direction that I would go in.

138:36And let me see what you have in the flex. Yeah. And the flux again if we're between Burden and Watson.

138:55I think you can kind of go back and forth here.

139:10Oh my gosh. I pro I would have told you Luther Burden before we got word officially that Roma Dunce is playing, but now I probably go

139:21Christian Watson.

139:23I think the majority of people would tell you to go Burden, so you probably don't want to listen to me on this.

139:36Yeah, you probably want to annoy me and maybe I'm just a homer for my own fantasy team and I'm just wish casting a

139:43big Christian Watson game. But again, what I'm telling myself here is they're not really gonna have an option but to use Christian Watson given the

139:53fact that their running back one two combos Marshon Lloyd and Caleb Johnson who just joined the team.

140:02Now let's go over to B Hansen.

140:06Okay, let me pull something up here. Give me one second.

140:16For the flex, we are choosing between Watson, Neighbors, Addison. I'm going to plan on going Watson right now unless we get official word that yes, Neighbors is

140:27playing.

140:29If we get official word that Neighbors is playing, you don't got to stress about it. Then sure, go ahead, put Neighbors in. But until then, if he's

140:40questionable right now, it does scare the crap out of me. Now, Ekkun Medic trading away Jonathan Taylor to down tier to Chase Brown, Roma to

140:51uptier to Tedo McMillan. This is very much a fair trade and it's going to be up to you. Like legitimately, I wouldn't

140:58fault you for going either way in this scenario, whichever you prefer.

141:05Now, Port says, "Worried about London.

141:07What should I do here?"

141:10I just realized we probably should have just moved my head over here. Um, you're going to start him. You're starting Jaylen Warren at running back, tight end

141:19Concaid over mayor, and then in the flex, you play London. I mean, it's either London or Ibuka.

141:27Can y'all please spam the chat? Would you play London or Ibuka at this point?

141:42Please spam the chat. Would you go Ibuka or London?

141:48Ibuka. London. London. London. Ibuka.

141:55London. Ibuka. London. Ibuka. Ibuka.

141:57Ibuka. Ibuka. London. London. Um, I would go with London personally. Ibuka is gonna have much better quarterback play. Not only will he have much better

142:09quarterback play, but on top of that, have a very good matchup.

142:15So, I understand if you wanted to pivot over in that direction, but I think I have to stick with London.

142:34Let me text Mrs. Flock and tell her it's going to be longer than I said.

143:16now. CKV going Genty to Gibbs. Clear upgrade. We're paying neighbors. Get it done. So, here's the deal. In a 10 team,

143:24two receiver, one flex format. Hell yeah. Let's go get Gibbs. Gibbs could legit have a 2019 Christian McCaffrey level season where it's like, hey, you

143:34either have Jir Gibbs and you win your league this year or you don't have him and you're cooked, right? That is a very

143:41real possibility.

143:45But at the same time, like dear God, this is a 14 team format.

143:55So with this being a 14 team league, the depth is going to matter here.

144:02And for that reason, I would keep the gent side.

144:07Now Leavola here for the flex. I'm going to play Quinn Sean Judkins over Roma Dunce. Don't like the Judkin setup. Of

144:17course, you're in a horrendous spot when it just comes to the offense projections.

144:24Now, a myth says, "How have you been?

144:26Did this trade? It's pending. Also got 40 fab with it." Um, I have another trade on the table where I trade BTJ

144:34plus 40 for Christian Watson and Chris Rodriguez. Is it is it worth it? First off, I am happy to see that you are back

144:43out with us this year, my guy. I really do appreciate you. You know that.

144:47Second thing, regarding this trade, IA to Kiran, slight upgrade. Judkins to Terry Mcccluren. Slight downgrade. Very fair trade. Now, if it's a $1,000 FAB

144:59budget, $40 fab means nothing.

145:02Useless.

145:04However, if it is a $100 FAB budget and you got $40 fab, you got 40% of somebody's fab. I think it

145:12makes it a win for you. Now, in terms of your other deal where you trade Brian Thomas Jr. and that fab for Christian

145:19Watson and Chris Rodriguez.

145:22I think that's a no-brainer at this point to be honest. Like if you look at where Brian Thomas is getting drafted in

145:28high stakes drafts at the end of the offseason so damn low. like the gap between him and the gap between him and Christian Watson

145:49looks massive. So I think the trade looks even better for you knowing that you are able to be able to leverage it

145:56and do a Brian Thomas Jr. for Christian Watson upgrade.

146:01Now Gloomshi here at running back start Hampton wide receiver Nico Devont Smith tight end Andrews and then

146:13in the flex spots we're going to go Tedo McMillan and Garrett Wilson. I would have said Luther Burden though if it

146:20wasn't for Roma being cleared good to go now Shuck here for the flex.

146:33Your best name realistically is actually probably Trey Tucker. If it's Michael Wilson, Trey Tucker or Alec Pierce.

146:44chat, let me know if I'm crazy here, but Trey Tucker is just going to get the I don't want to say the exact targets

146:51Brock Bowers were was going to get, but you would hope the quarterback play this year is going to be much better than

146:58what it was in the past, and the target competition isn't going to be there for Tucker.

147:05Now, our next one from Smok and Herb here at running back.

147:12We're between Henderson, Bucky, and Lloyd. Uh, I mean, obviously Henderson out. It's Bucky or Lloyd. You go Bucky for sure. And then in your flex, I would

147:21play T. Higgins. I don't think you need to roll the dice with Malik Neighbors. I would have said, yeah, just start

147:27Neighbors yesterday, but I am getting scared off of that based on the comments they made today.

147:34Now, M. Coughfield trading away Lad and Craft for Bowers and Conception.

147:41I'm going to stick with the lad side. If Bowers does indeed only miss a week or two, very clearly Bowers is the side that you

147:54would want.

148:06But I'm afraid that we're not gonna only see

148:24a week or two gone from Bowers. I'm afraid instead this dude's gonna miss four, five, six weeks.

148:34Now, Mac Daddy, massive trade, which you very clearly want the Kenneth Walker side. You're trading like five players that are worth

148:45something, but not much to get to Kenneth Walker, DJ Moore, and Brock Bowers. This is not even really close.

148:52This is a very, very easy trade to make.

148:57Now, our next question is going to be from MT Marting away Derrick Henry and McBride for Jamar

149:06Chase and Rico Dattle.

149:10You'd have Jawan Johnson at tight end who's viable early.

149:17It's a very fair deal and I think you can make it. My holdup is if you just had the AG Brown trade, I would probably

149:25want to hold on to the extra startable player.

149:31Like I'd probably want to hold on to Derrick Henry and McBride in that instance, but it is close. Like Jamar Chase could

149:39very easily be the winning side. Now AJC says, I would add 15% of the fab of Brown and Burton. Here's the deal. Brown

149:48to Ash and Genty. At this point, now that Gent is completely removed from the injury report, they're the same guy.

149:55But Luther Burden to Tegan, in my opinion, it's a big-time upgrade. So, yeah, I would add the Fab and I'd get

150:00the deal done. Now, important mythology trading away Henderson for Jonathan Brooks, Neighbors down tier to bottle,

150:09and then KD up tier to Bowers. This is very much a fair trade at this point and I am not going to be able to predict

150:17which side wins because here's the deal. It just straight up comes down to what do we get from Brock Bowers?

150:27How much time does he miss?

150:38Because as it stands right now, again, I know they said a week or two, every doctor that I've seen speak on it

150:48is coming through and they're saying, "Oh, okay. No, it is much closer to him missing four or six weeks." Maybe I'm wrong.

151:00Maybe I'm being stupid.

151:04Maybe we should just listen to exactly what the team says.

151:08But that does scare me. Now the big crim here for the flex.

151:18It's going to be between Godwin Terry and Marshon Lloyd. For me, Terry would be typically the answer, but he has a

151:26really tough matchup this week.

151:29Lloyd, we have no idea what he is going to do. And Godwin has a really good matchup.

151:36So, it's tough. I still probably end up going with Terry McLuren, but much tougher than it normally will be. Now, Snow's trading away Chuba, Pard. I'm

151:47sorry, not trading away again. It's late. I apologize.

151:52Choosing between Hubard, Pard, Mason, Brooks, and Caleum Black. So, we did get word that we do have Brooks good to go

152:00this week. Now with that in mind, am I gonna trust him right away? Of course not. We've never seen him do anything.

152:08But same time, I don't know if we can trust Chuba.

152:20I probably take Pard. I know it sounds crazy. Pard so old and dusty. No excitement whatsoever.

152:27But this is like the only game all year in which we are actually going to have the Tennessee Titans favored.

152:36Now Chris, here at wide receiver, you're going to play Jameson Williams over Wadd easily with matchup. And then this week, maybe I ranked Craft over

152:47Kelsey, but I'm going to be honest, after seeing KD fall flat, his first game back from the Achilles, I'm going to be a little more

152:58nervous to play Craft with his first game back than I was.

153:04So, I'm going to tell you, Kelsey there.

153:06Now go you Tommy wide receiver and I'll say you know I'm always happy to see you my guy wide receiver between Addison Pitman and Trey

153:17Tucker again Tucker's actually closestish now with the Bower stuff which is just crazy

153:26to Okay.

153:43Let me just pull up my flex rankings because honestly like these guys are damn close. Where do we have them at

153:48wide receiver?

153:51Addison I have at 35. Michael Pitman I have at 36. Again, this is why it was tough. And I need to

154:00jack Trey Tucker up now that we have no Bowers.

154:06And Trey Tucker is going to go to about this range.

154:18I think I still probably go Addison because I am still just a massive massive believer in the talent profile that we have

154:35and also I like the match up against Green Bay and I it wouldn't be the most surprising thing in the world to me if

154:41Kevin Oonnell came out and said like and Justin Jefferson as well. Maybe I'm just telling myself this because I have Jefferson on my own team. If they come

154:49out and they go, we have something to prove. Let's not hold anything back when it comes to our play calls. Let's drop

154:5540 points on the Packers week one.

155:00Again, maybe I'm just having some copium here. Really hoping that my guy scores a ton of points with Christian Watson. But

155:08that is a hope I got.

155:10Now looking at Jay Zusa, we have Bird and Watson as the two calls and DJ Moore. DJ Moore is a tough

155:19matchup. I'm going to go Christian Watson here because Roma is good to go.

155:23And again, I think that that team may skew a little more pass with no Jacobs.

155:29Okay. G SH of money for the flex.

155:50I think you again it's the same question we're getting over and over again. Is this Christian Watson or Luther Burden?

155:57And yeah, you're gonna end up having to start both of them in the future. I'm sorry about the AJ Brown stuff, man.

156:04Now, way quarterback. Yeah. Burrow, running back, Gibbs, Bucky, wide receiver.

156:12I'm Did you start Evans? If you did not, I'm assuming you started Evans.

156:18If not, you're going to go with London, Godwin, and Neighbors.

156:28But if you started Neighbor, I'm sorry, if you started Evans, don't play Godwin.

156:34Now, quarterback here for Jay Gudy, it is actually close. But I'm going to go Jaden Daniels over Jordan Love. But again, it's close. Jeremiah Love verse

156:42Jaylen Warren. another one of these scenarios, which is crazy to say it's close considering where you drafted these guys.

156:50Um, but I would rather wait with Jaylen Warren to see what the role looks like week one. So, I'm going to go Jeremiah

156:58Love and then down in the flex, I'll take Brian Thomas. Full PPR format.

157:06Okay.

157:08In Intel outside God, I can't read. Um, wide receiver at this point, I understand the neighbors stuff is very scary, but if these are alternatives,

157:19you still have I think you have to roll the dice. You have to play Neighbors. I go Neighbors and Jordan Addison here

157:24pretty comfortably.

157:26But we are caught up on all those questions. I know we have some team reviews and basketball portfolios to get to, but it is pushing one in the morning

157:33here. So, I think we will save these for the live stream tomorrow. But we just um caught up with so many questions,

157:44which is incredible news that we should be able to go through and we should be able to um start answering some free questions

157:55in the live chat starting tomorrow as well as Sunday morning where we're not just doing it through the live stream which is I mean or through

158:03flockfantasy.com which is what I meant to say. So, that is great news. I'm happy that we've been able to catch up.

158:10We've been absolutely grinding two, three-hour live streams every single day. If y'all haven't noticed, today was almost another three-hour one. Um, so

158:19happy I was able to catch up, answer as many questions as I possibly could. And I'm going to get some sleep because I

158:26very much need it. And then I will be back tomorrow and I will be answering more questions.

158:37Yeah, but I think that's all I got.

158:39Appreciate y'all and I'll see you out in the live stream tomorrow. Hopefully we can get to a bunch of the free questions

158:45as well.
