0:00Fantasy football is an emotional game.
0:02There are plenty of people in your league who are freaking out in a good way or a bad way about the team that
0:06they drafted. But our job as fantasy football players is to make the best decisions we can with limited information. And this list of guys are
0:14players that I'm trying to trade for in all my leagues. Some of them will be buy highs, some of them will be buy lows. Of
0:20course, if you disagree with me, comment down below. But by the end of this video, I think we are going to be able
0:24to get you to feel better about your fantasy football team and some of the trades that you're going to make. We are
0:29going to begin with the name that everyone is talking about, Coloulston Loveland. The Chicago Bears score 59 points with five rushing touchdowns
0:36against the Carolina Panthers. You are looking at Coloulston Lovelin's game log. You might notice two targets, zero receptions, zero yards, zero touchdowns.
0:45Really, really brutal stuff. However, he did almost score one touchdown. Did have a clear endzone target. And frankly, I just want to be buying on all the
0:53Chicago Bears. I want to be buying on Caleb Williams. I want to be buying on Luther Burton. And I would maybe even
0:59want to buy on Roma Dunes if the price was cheap enough. Coulson Leland had 89% route participation. To give you a sense
1:05of how good that is. That would effectively lead all tight ends in route participation in the entire league. It would be top fifth percentile.
1:13Basically, no tight ends play the kind of wide receiver role that Lovelin does.
1:19The fact that Cole KT and Sam Rous were so involved, like I trust me, I get it.
1:23If you're a big Coulson Lovelin guy, you're watching that game, you see Cole KT scored the touchdown and you're like, "Oh, is that Love? Oh, it's not Lovelin,
1:30it's Cole KT." It feels very annoying.
1:32But if you think about it, it actually makes sense that Lovelin sharing the field with KT and Rous is actually good
1:38for him because those guys are much less likely than a wide receiver to earn a target. I mean, Khif Raymond had eight
1:44targets on 56% of the routes. First off, I think that will be a high route share for Khif Raymond in the context of the
1:51entire season. But more importantly, if Lovelin is on the field with Burden, Adun, and then KT and one of the running
1:57backs, that is going to increase his target share. I also think you just have to understand what a clear anomaly that
2:03game was. Kyle Manungai wiped off an entire possession in the second half with the 60-yard touchdown. That of course would have been an opportunity.
2:10Only 27 total drop backs or 27 aimed throws for Caleb Williams. That will be amongst his season low. I quite like
2:17trying to trade for Coloulston Lovelin.
2:19And based on what people have been saying, you know, because obviously I'm on social media all the time. I see what
2:24people are saying, I actually think this is a situation where you could pull off a trade for Coulson Love. For example,
2:30looking at the overall rankings here. I bet that if you offered David Montgomery for Coulson Lovelin, you could get him.
2:36And frankly, I think you could even offer guys who I have ranked well below and actually get some nibbles on a
2:43Coulson Lovelin trade. Like, could you offer Jameson Williams and get Lovelin?
2:47Probably yes. Could you offer Quinn Sean Judkins who wasn't even good and get Coulson Lovelin? Obviously, it would depend on what the individual
2:54circumstances in your league are. But I'm not moving Coulson Lovelin too far down my rankings. I'm kind of adjusting my tight end board in my rankings, but I
3:02am buying on Coulson Lovelin and I consider him basically the top player that you should trade for. They're going to be some guys who performed very well
3:10in week one who we are going to be trading for and we're going to get to them at the end of the video. Next up on
3:15our buy list, we are going to take a look at Bichel Tutin, who got 15 carries for 66 yards, was targeted once in the
3:22passing game. It was a nice little design screen. Now, this is a real eye of the beholder situation. If you were a
3:28big Chris Rodriguez guy, I think you could look at the Jaguars backfield and say, well, his role was pretty interesting. He got a wildat snap on a
3:35third and short, ended up converting it.
3:37Did actually run eight routes, which was the same amount of routes that Baltutin ran. There was a weird stretch where Amir Abdullah came in the game. Abdullah
3:45played five snaps and got the ball on four of those snaps. That was not necessarily something that we were expecting. And maybe that was just
3:51because they were up by a bazillion points against a really bad team and that won't replicate itself against Denver, against New England, against
3:57Cincinnati. But I think the most important thing was that Toutton ran very well in that game. He averaged over five yards per carry or averaged 4.4
4:05yards per carry. It was over five yards per carry at halftime and then they kind of grinded the clock out. Meanwhile,
4:11Chris Rodriguez Jr. did not average even three and a half yards per carry and basically just did the Chris Rodriguez thing. We know what Crod is going to be.
4:19Now, to be fair, Chris Rodriguez did get the lone goal line snap. And if the B shell tune owner in your league is
4:25really plugged in, they were watching the game or maybe they watch a different fantasy football channel that talks about how much Chris Rodriguez is going
4:33to take away the highv value touches for Vichel Tutin, then [clears throat] maybe you will not be able to, you know, like
4:39it it's such an eye the beholder situation where it depends on what the Tuton owner in your league did. And Toutin was expensive. So the Tootton
4:46owner in your league probably does quite like him. I was very encouraged by what I saw just overall from the Jaguars
4:52offense. It will remain to be seen if there is going to be a a monopoly on the goal line carries from anyone in the
4:58Jacksonville Jaguars backfield. But looking at the overall running back rankings, I would rather have Belle Tutin than Judkins by a lot. You could
5:07talk me into Belle Tutin over Cam Scataboo given the splits there. I would definitely rather have Toutin than any of the Steelers running backs. I would
5:14rather have Toutin than any of the Patriots running backs, either Raandre or Trebon Henderson. You could do a position for position swap. Like maybe
5:21you're a little bit weaker at running back. So you trade one of your receivers who had a good game in week one like a
5:27wide receiver trade that I would do for Belle Tutin. I would trade away DJ Moore to acquire Belle Tutin. I would not
5:35think that would be very popular, but overall I just think you're going to want Jaguars. Like maybe that's the big takeaway here is the Jags are just going
5:42to score a ton of points on offense and I think Velutin is the most talented runner in that backfield. Next up we
5:48have a guy who stunk to start the year.
5:515.8 points for George Pickkins. Dak did not look particularly great. Javvante Williams did score a bunch of PPR points in the second half but we kind of know
5:58the deal with George Pickkins which is this is one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL. Maybe a top 10
6:04talent at the entire position but his effort level is going to wax and Wayne.
6:09It's not always going to clearly be a George Pickkins game. And I think that a lot of the people who drafted George
6:14Pickkins at the back half of the second round in the early part of the third round, they looked at the board and they
6:19kind of just shrugged their shoulders.
6:21Like there are plenty of people who drafted George Pickins in their fantasy football league and they're like, "Yeah, you know, he's fine. I wish I would have
6:27gotten someone else. I wish I would have gotten Malik Neighbors. I wish Oh, I wish Jeremiah Love would have fallen to
6:32me. I wish Ashton Genty would have fallen to me. But I just want to buy overall on the Cowboys offense. Like if
6:38I could get I mean frankly if you could get CD Lamb right now you definitely should. I think the result of what we've
6:44seen in the Dak Prescott Brian Shottenheimer era are that the Cowboys are going to throw the ball a ton. The defense is going to be uneven at best
6:53probably bad. I mean losing to start the season against the New York Giants which is a situation I mean Dak and the
6:59Cowboys have historically dominated the New York Giants already puts them behind the eightball. And when Brian Shottenheimimer, who has consistently been a above pass rate over expectation
7:09coach, gets behind the eightball, he's liable to throw the ball even more. So, I will give you an example of a trade I
7:15would make. I first off, I would trade Drake London for George Pickkins. I am very, very, very worried about the Atlanta Falcons quarterback situation.
7:23Cooper Rush, Tuitega, Vioa, Michael Penn is still not practicing. Rumors that Jack Strand might get in. I I would potentially do that. I certainly would
7:32trade Rashi Rice who scored a touchdown for George Pickkins. It kind of pains me to do it, but Rashi Rice a clear cell in
7:38fantasy football. I would trade Bree Hall for George Pickkins. Guys who went right next to each other if I could trade Bree Hall for George Pickkins. But
7:45just in general, these are guys who I would be sending opposing managers texts to and being like, "Hey, is George Pickkins available for trade? Are you
7:53freaked out?" Because it I hear you guys right now. You go, "In my league, this would never happen." So, I sent one of
7:59these tweets out yesterday. I said, "Hey, here's a list of players that I would try and trade for that you are
8:04going to respond to, and you're going to say, "This would never happen in my league because my co-managers are too smart. It will never happen." But humans
8:11are very emotional creatures, and we are very highly attuned to react emotionally to the thing that we just most recently saw. And the thing your league mate just
8:20most recently saw is they got to Sunday Night Football and they're like, "Hey man, I only need 13 points from George
8:25Pickkins and I'm going to win my matchup." And George Pickins got 5.8. 8 points and that is something that we should capitalize on. On the other side
8:32of the coin, I have got a buy high here.
8:35I am moving Daltton Concincaid so far up my rankings. If you go back and look at some of my preseason videos, I did the
8:42nine players I'm betting it all on in fantasy football video. Dalton Concincaid was one of the tight ends that I said I am betting it all on. And
8:49we got exactly what we needed. He had over a 70% route share in a back and forth game against the Houston Texans.
8:56Dalton Concade has always been a very efficient player to the point that I never really understood why they didn't play more. The answer for why he didn't
9:04play more was that he did not have a healthy knee. He's been dealing with this left PCL injury actually since he
9:09was in college at Utah. He finished the week with 18 PPR points, six targets for 130 yards. The average depth of target
9:16was quite nice. He's actually top 10 in the entire NFL in yards per route run after week one. But because I am lower
9:23than consensus on DJ Moore. I'm lower than the market on Khalil Shakir. I don't it didn't seem like James Cook was
9:29going to be a big part of the Buffalo Bills passing game. I think the best outcome for the Buffalo Bills passing
9:35game is that Daltton Concade becomes a much larger part of what they're doing, particularly in the red zone. And I was
9:41talking about this with the guys on the Flock League stream the other night, but the way that tight ends work is we make
9:47a lot of assumptions going into the season. And I think it's okay to react very quickly to those assumptions. So I
9:54said I think there's an argument to be made that you could rank Daltton Concincaid as high as the fifth overall tight end. Daltton Concincaid can lead
10:02the Buffalo Bills in targets. Sam Laaporta cannot lead the Detroit Lions in targets. In fact, I think and I I actually know this when I update my
10:09rankings on the site. I am going to move Daltton Concaid ahead of Sam Laaporta.
10:13Same deal for Tucker Craft. Tucker Craft's whole deal has always been efficiency. If you look at what Tucker Craft has done in his career, it's all
10:19been yak. He has never been a high volume guy. Dton Concincaid can be a high volume guy in the Buffalo Bills
10:26offense. Like, would it surprise you? I I actually think this is legitimately true. Dalton Concincaid could have twice as many receptions this upcoming season
10:35as Tucker Craft. Dalton Concincaid plays with no one who is as good as Christian Watson. And frankly, I would take Matthew Golden just in terms of raw
10:43talent level over uh over Khil Shakir. I I just would like very happily do that.
10:49And then you look at guys like Tucker Craft or sorry, you look at guys like Tyler Warren and Tyler Warren I think is
10:55a better player. Tyler Warren has a greater ability to earn targets. But the same thing that just happened to Lad Mcconkey last season is I think
11:02unfortunately gonna happen to Tyler Warren, which is that if you are the sort of team that is going to put Keenan
11:07Allen on the field, you have to be willing to throw him the ball because Keenan Allen even at his age is an elite
11:12target earner. He was tied for the team lead and target share in their game in week one. And also Josh DS ran 82% of
11:19his routes out of the slot, which means Tyler Warren is playing in line. So Tyler Warren is now playing with two
11:25guys who run routes in the same area of the field as him and are better target earners. You know, Josh DS and Keenan
11:32Allen, they're better route runners.
11:33They're better target earners. So on the RPO stuff that Shane Stiken loves, it's not going to surprise me if Tyler Warren
11:39I mean Tyler Warren can score a bunch of touchdowns. And I'm not saying, oh, you have to sell Tyler Warren or anything
11:43like that, but I I think there is a case that Dalton Concade can now be ranked as like the fourth or fifth overall tight
11:51end in fantasy football. you know, preferring him. I definitely prefer him at this point to Harold Fannon Jr. I think we saw with Harold Fannon Jr. that
11:57I mean, this guy just has not played with good wide receivers either in college or in the NFL. And now that he's
12:03playing with Boston and Conpsion, I do think his target role is going to be scaled back. So, I I'm definitely try I
12:09I mean, I'm trying to trade for Dalton Concade in every fantasy league right now. Dynasty, reddraft, whatever. He is absolutely skyrocketing up my ranks
12:16after getting full playing time. Bucky Irving. This one is fairly obvious. I think if we reddrafted today, Bucky Irving would be a third round pick. We
12:26got the answer to the question, which is what is his role as a red zone player and what is his role as a receiver going
12:32to be? He absolutely target and route mugged Kenny Gainwell. Got two rushes in the red zone, scored a rushing touchdown in there as well. Might be a little bit
12:41concerning that he only saw eight rushes, but it was just a weird game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were trailing the entire time. They did not
12:48punt the entire game, but they fumbled the ball four times. Kenneth Gainwell did get a big contract in the offseason, but it's pretty clear that he is going
12:55to be playing in a similar role to the role that he played when he was in Philadelphia. I don't think his role is
13:00going to be nearly as expansive as it was in Pittsburgh. So, Bucky, I mean, I'm looking at my running back rankings
13:07and I'm like, okay, well, do I want Kiran or Bucky? It's like, well, man, I I might I might want I might want Bucky
13:13there. Do I want Jeremiah Love or Bucky?
13:16Well, probably Jeremiah Love there. Do I want David Montgomery or do I want Bucky? I I think I probably want Bucky.
13:22Do I want Cam Scataboo or do I want Bucky? I definitely want Bucky there.
13:26So, we've got him as a top 15ish, you know, a tier three running back in fantasy football, which is a tier higher
13:33than he was ranked. I mean, we have seen Bucky Irving score top five fantasy points per game over a stretch at the
13:39running back position. He did that back in 2024. And the receiving work is what absolutely has to happen. I mean really
13:45receiving work is what separates a good fantasy football running back from a great fantasy football running back just due to the way that PPR works. The
13:52average target is worth 2.48 points. It's it's actually just insane how much more targets matter. Seven targets in week one for Bucky Irving.
14:01I'm absolutely putting him on the uh the buy high list in fantasy football. I don't know if you guys would think of
14:08Malik Neighbors as a buy high, but he showed me ranking in week one in all of fantasy football. He was targeted nine times.
14:19Didn't score a touchdown. Isaiah likely scored twice. We'll probably talk about Isaiah likely in some other videos. But as it stands right now, if we were
14:26drafting again today, I think I mean certainly I would take Malik Neighbors over Nico Collins. I would definitely take him over Chris Ave. I would
14:33definitely take him over Drake and I would definitely take him over George Pickkins. I think if we were overall re-ranking today, my first round would
14:40be something like Gibbs, Bejian, Chase, Walker, Puka, JSN, and then I don't think I mean Justin Jefferson would be in there. And then I think you could
14:51start talking about Malik Neighbors as the eighth or ninth overall player in fantasy football. Jackson Dart looked quite good in week one. I think that was
14:57like a legitimate question coming into the season was Dart was quite good in fantasy last year. the results in terms of winning games did not necessarily
15:05happen. But how would Dart progress as a processor in year two? Would he be able to layer in some of these throws? And we
15:12certainly, I think, got the answer against Dallas, which is Dart, you know, I don't think he's like a top 10 quarterback in the NFL or anything like
15:17that, but he certainly can play well enough to be considered an above league average quarterback. He certainly can be better than, you know, like a Russell
15:26Wilson type that we saw Malik Neighbors played with last year. I mean, would Jameus Winston be better for fantasy for Neighbors? Like, probably, but the team
15:34would not be near as good and they would not be able to s uh sustain drives in the same way. So, Neighbors is a guy who
15:41I already had ranked above consensus, but I would be targeting Neighbors also in like package deals. Here's a really interesting one that I wish I could give
15:50an answer to you for. Malik Neighbors versus Christian McAffrey. Could you trade Christian McCaffrey for Malik Neighbors right now? think the neighbors
15:58owner would probably say yes. Should you offer that trade? I mean, Christian McCaffrey played that weird game in Australia. I think we're going to get a
16:06ton more information this week against Miami. Like, does he get 13 touches against Miami because the game is totally done and dusted? Or is Christian
16:14McCaffrey going to go back now that they're not in Australia, they're not doing the weird flight, weird schedule?
16:19Are we fully back to the Christian McCaffrey is the absolute fantasy points monster? I don't have the answer to that question and my rankings are probably
16:26going to change on him quite a bit. But neighbors very very high on my buy list.
16:31I expect him to be close to a top five wide receiver in fantasy football in the rest of the season. And then our final
16:38player that we are buying, Parker Washington, 19 PPR points, six targets, five receptions, 83 yards, and a touchdown. Had an insanely good
16:47touchdown grab. If you have not seen the Parker Washington touchdown, do yourself a favor and go watch it. But this is a
16:53scenario where I kept moving Pwash up my ranks and I'd move him up and I move him up. I think I ended the season actually
16:59I can see right there on the screen I ended the season having him ranked at 46. When I fully redo my rankings I
17:06think it's a really interesting list.
17:07How high can you get Parker Washington?
17:10I would definitely rather have Parker Washington than Emecha Ibuka. I would definitely rather have him than Jaylen Wto. I think I would probably prefer him
17:18over Garrett Wilson, seeing how the New York Jets played against the Tennessee Titans, which is they are going to have these long sustained drives. They're
17:25going to play 12 personnel. They're going to play 13 personnel. They are going to milk the clock down to zero.
17:29They're going to be one of the slowest, most negative pro teams in the NFL. Not to say that Parker Washington is a worse
17:37player than Garrett Wilson. I think we all know that that is not true. Um, I would rather have him than T. Higgins. I
17:44would rather have him than Lad Mani. So then I get into the range of about the 13th 14th wide receiver. Would I rather
17:50have Parker Washington or Z Flowers? I mean Z Flowers was basically the best wide receiver in the NFL in week one but
17:56is now coming uh coming back from being injured. But I think Parker Washington is eminently acquirable. That's the That's the big thing here because he was
18:04drafted in the fifth round, the sixth round in some of your leagues. A lot of managers are going to This is going to
18:09be found money, right? This is found money. So it's all good. all I have to do, you know, I'm gonna turn this guy
18:14into a great running back. Job done and dusted. But the way that the team was talking about Parker Washington in the
18:19offseason indicated that he was going to be the wide receiver one. And that's what happened. He led the team in air
18:24yards. He led the team in target share.
18:26He played in both 11, 12, and 13 personnel at different stretches. Brian Thomas Jr. did look better than I thought, which frankly is actually kind
18:34of bullish for the team as a whole. I don't think Jacobe Myers is going to be much of a thorn at Parker Washington's
18:39side. And Travis Hunter only played four snaps on offense. It was actually Josh Cameron who scored a touchdown and played 19 snaps that took the role that
18:46I thought Travis Hunter might play on offense. So basically, I think we are seeing the Aman Ross St. Brownification of Parker Washington. He is going to
18:55have this insane slot role, the same role that made Chris Godwin the overall wide receiver one in fantasy points per game when Leon Cohen was his coach. I
19:03think Cohen is a phenomenal coach. I think that Trevor Lawrence has shown he's definitely turned the corner as a quarterback. So do what you have to do.
19:11Do what you have to do to buy high on Parker Washington. So we are sending out trade offers for Coloulston Lovelin as a
19:17buy low. By Shel Tudin as like I guess you could say a buy medium, but I quite like to acquire Bshell Tutin in fantasy
19:23football. George Pickkins as a buy low.
19:26Dalton Concincaid as a buy high. Bucky Irving as a buy high. Parker Washington as a buy high. Malik Neighbors as a buy
19:33high. If you guys have any questions about your fantasy football team, I will try to answer as many of them as I can
