0:00NFL trade deadline, breaking down some
0:03of the big names that we're hearing
0:04about that could be moved potentially on
0:08or before the NFL trade deadline that
0:11could have a massive impact on fantasy
0:13football. I'm Theo Greinger right here
0:15at Rotoire. Rotoire is your elite source
0:19for NFL news and fantasy football news
0:22and we're going to cover the trade
0:24deadline with like reckless abandon
0:26here. I'm going live next Tuesday,
0:28recording this Tuesday evening, just
0:31breaking down a couple of these rumors
0:32we're hearing and a couple of names.
0:34Anybody who's followed my content for a
0:35while, I've gone live on NFL trade
0:39deadlines like multiple times and a lot
0:42of years it's very disappointing. I
0:44remember last year we had no Bree Hall
0:46trade to speak of. Uh instead we were
0:49talking about Jacobe Meyers and Rasheed
0:50Jahed like fun trades but nothing that
0:53sort of really moved the needle for us
0:55in fantasy football. But this year it
0:57feels very very different. We've already
1:00seen some huge names that were moved
1:03this year already. You you saw the
1:06massive Quinton Nelson deal. Uh, we saw
1:09DeForest Buck Buckner and then of course
1:12we most recently saw just this
1:15ridiculous trade where Jeffrey Simmons
1:19was traded for two first round picks.
1:21And we already saw the Chicago Bears use
1:24Simmons on Monday Night Football and he
1:27was just massive for them. Completely
1:29shut down Seattle. Huge win. But we're
1:32going to see a couple of trades here on
1:34the offensive side of the ball. This
1:36year feels different. It feels like it's
1:38going to be a lot more active than in
1:41previous years. So, we want to get
1:42ready. Here's a couple of the names that
1:45we are hearing and their potential
1:47fantasy impact. If we have any huge
1:49trades go down before Tuesday, I'm going
1:52to try my best to go live right here on
1:54the YouTube channel and drop a podcast
1:57that will drop right in your feed right
1:58away. We're going to react to this
2:00breaking news this year. A couple of
2:02like macro things we're hearing about.
2:04There's going to be some huge names that
2:06are moved that are not on offense. Josh
2:09Sweat sounds like Arizona might move
2:11him. We know Zack Bond might get traded
2:14from Philadelphia. And then there's a
2:15ton of Chargers. The Chargers are
2:18reeling and a number of like big names
2:21like Derwin James, Khalil Mack. These
2:23sort of guys are being mentioned. But
2:25you're here about fantasy football and
2:27that's sort of what I want to talk about
2:28as well. Uh macro trends. We are hearing
2:31that the Denver Broncos are looking to
2:34add a running back. This would
2:36ultimately be either a good thing for
2:39Jonah Coleman or a very bad thing for
2:41Jonah Coleman depending on the level of
2:43running back that the Broncos are able
2:46to acquire. If they end up getting a guy
2:49like Kendra Miller from New Orleans,
2:51we'd say, okay, they went and got
2:53themselves a backup. if they went out
2:56and got a very impactful player, then we
2:58would definitely be worried about Jonah
3:00Coleman, who was just awesome uh against
3:02Kansas City. We're also hearing that the
3:05Giants are looking to make a huge splash
3:07deal. And it feels like it could be on
3:10both sides of the ball. We know that
3:12there was some interest in Jeffrey
3:13Simmons from New York. Were they willing
3:16to pay a similar price tag to what we
3:19saw uh paid by by the Chicago Bears?
3:22We'll never really know, but we know
3:23that the New York press has talked about
3:25how the Giants and Harbaugh were very
3:28interested in Simmons, and it feels like
3:30they're looking to add an impact player.
3:32The window is there for them to win the
3:34division. And could that be an offensive
3:36player? We're going to talk about that
3:37one in a minute. We've heard that the
3:39Vikings are going to be buyers. And then
3:41we're hearing that there are a number of
3:44teams that are looking at wide
3:46receivers. Specifically, the 49ers, the
3:49Kansas City Chiefs, and the Pittsburgh
3:51Steelers have all been linked to wide
3:54receivers. Let's run down a couple of
3:56the biggest names that we're hearing
3:57right now. Jonathan Taylor is the
4:00biggest name of anybody I'm going to
4:02talk about today. There's been multiple
4:05teams linked to him, including the
4:07Giants. Now, what we're hearing is that
4:10Indianapolis wants a similar package to
4:13what we saw in the Christian McCaffrey
4:15trade a couple years ago to San
4:16Francisco that like a second rounder and
4:20a third rounder. Maybe they end up
4:22ultimately getting like a second rounder
4:23and a fourthrounder. It's not going to
4:25be a first rounder for Taylor, but I
4:28think there's a chance that they get a
4:30massive price tag that I'm not even like
4:32foreseeing. And I get it. A lot of you
4:34going to push back and say, you know,
4:35Theo, running backs, whatever. But the
4:38environment is ripe for a player of
4:39Taylor's magnitude to command a massive
4:42price. His level of play is outstanding.
4:46He's been able to play like this for
4:48multiple years in Indianapolis. An
4:50absolute stud. And then if you look at
4:52the the impact that Kenneth Walker was
4:54able to make this year in Kansas City,
4:56you look at the impact that Derrick
4:58Henry made in Baltimore a couple years
5:00ago. Saquon Barkley made in Philly when
5:02he first got there. And of course,
5:04Christian McCaffrey going to San
5:05Francisco. I think there's going to be
5:07teams saying Taylor, you know, we might
5:09not be perfect, but Taylor makes us
5:11really, really dangerous. Some teams
5:13that have been mentioned for Taylor, the
5:15Minnesota Vikings, the New York Giants,
5:17the Denver Broncos. Obviously, Seth
5:20McGawan would be the big beneficiary
5:22here for a Taylor trade. Uh, and it
5:25feels like there's going to be real
5:26wheels in motion here when it comes to
5:28Jonathan Taylor. Denver Broncos. We've
5:30heard recently that would be a a big
5:32splash. We know and and a lot of people
5:34want to dismiss this one. Remember what
5:37Denver gave up for Jaylen Wadd. Remember
5:39how close they were to the Super Bowl
5:41last year. Now look at Minnesota.
5:43Minnesota needs to protect their team.
5:45Kyler Murray is sort of a very limited
5:47play caller at this point. They've got
5:49issues at quarterback, but they have an
5:50elite defense. Can Taylor and that
5:53defense take them to the Super Bowl?
5:55Maybe it can. And then there's going to
5:57be some mystery teams for Jonathan
5:58Taylor. If he actually is moved, there's
6:01going to be some mystery teams. I always
6:02look at like the Washington Commanders.
6:05How could you protect Jaden Daniels next
6:07year potentially having a Jonathan
6:09Taylor next to him? So, we'll keep an
6:10eye on Taylor. He's the top of the food
6:12chain. Now, we've heard that Saquon
6:14Barkley will not be moved despite
6:16Philly's issues and desite despite
6:18Saquon's age. They're viewing him as a
6:20foundational piece of their plan next
6:22year. So, Saquon probably won't get
6:24moved. Now, Tony Pard's a very
6:27interesting one because he's been
6:28playing at a very high level. Tennessee
6:31is not winning any games at all and and
6:34Pards like a player that could be moved
6:36here uh at the deadline. Now, where
6:39could Pard go? We know Tony Pard's been
6:41mentioned for D by Denver or for Denver.
6:45Ex excuse me, not by Denver. Denver
6:46didn't say the name Tony Pard. I'm
6:47saying the name name Tony Pard for
6:49Denver. That would make sense. The
6:51Giants would make sense. pretty much all
6:53of the buyers for Jonathan Taylor would
6:55make sense and actually think that the
6:57market for Pard might be pretty
7:00interesting because it's a cheaper bet
7:02to make in terms of contract and in
7:04terms of the amount of money you're
7:06taking on the books and all that sort of
7:07thing. So Pard, I think there's going to
7:09be a big market for him. The beneficiary
7:11would probably be Tai Spears, but he
7:14also could get moved at the deadline. If
7:16Tennessee chooses to just keep Pard,
7:19they might move Spears, who's banged up
7:20right now. And then the offense without
7:23Pard would take a significant hit. But
7:26guys like Nick Singleton, do they want
7:27to get a look at him end of the year?
7:29Now, the big name that we're talking
7:30about recently is Bree Hall and Brilan
7:33Allen's outstanding play. Brilland
7:34Allen's 22 years old. This is different.
7:37This feels different than last year.
7:39Last year, the Jets wanted a to get a
7:42third round pick and they would have
7:44moved to Bruce Hall. That's what it
7:45sounded like. Kansas City of course was
7:47linked to Bree Hall somewhere in the
7:50multiverse. Bruce Hall is a Kansas City
7:51Chief right now. They paid the third
7:53rounder. Kenneth Walker is playing for
7:54somewhere else and we don't know how
7:56this season would have gone for us
7:58fantasy-wise. That's just how these
7:59things go. Sliding doors. Bree Hall
8:02though, it feels like there could be a
8:03big market for him. Denver would make a
8:06ton of sense here. Anybody who's trying
8:08to get Jonathan Taylor is probably in
8:09the mix for Bree Hall. And what's
8:11interesting when it comes to Bree Hall,
8:12and I get it, Bree Hall uh just signed
8:15the big contract, but Bree Hall is a
8:17little bit younger than Jonathan Taylor.
8:2025 years old for Bree Hall. Bree Hall is
8:2425 years old. So, you get a little bit
8:25younger with Bree Hall here. And then
8:27speaking of younger, you end up with
8:30Brilan Allen, who's 22, who's playing
8:33awesome, awesome, awesome football right
8:35now, and looks like he could be a
8:37long-term answer for New York at the
8:39running back position. and it's cheaper.
8:41So, does New York make the move here?
8:44Uh, that'll be a really interesting one
8:45to keep an eye on. Alvin Kamara and
8:48Kendra Miller both being mentioned as
8:50potential trade targets. We know that
8:52New Orleans paid Travis CTN this past
8:54off season. Kamar sort of a short-term
8:56bet. Kamar is playing at a high level
8:58right now for him considering his age.
9:01And is Alvin Kamara sort of open-minded
9:04to a deal here? Um, we know Kamara is
9:07like an all-time Saints running back
9:09here. There's a lot of love in that
9:11organization, they don't probably don't
9:12want to see him go, but with the team
9:15reeling, if they could get something for
9:17the 31-year-old Alvin Kamara, that would
9:19make a lot of sense. And then, of
9:21course, Kendry Miller, just a potential
9:23backup. There's probably a bunch of
9:25other running backs that I'm not
9:26necessarily factoring in. If you're
9:28watching on YouTube, let me know in the
9:29comments other running backs that you
9:31think could get moved at the deadline.
9:33wide receiver. The biggest name we're
9:35starting to hear, and this is a lot of
9:36galaxy braining, and you'll hear this
9:38sort of galaxy braining this time of
9:39year, but the big name that we're
9:42hearing from NFL insiders like Jordan
9:45Schultz recently talking about how teams
9:48are starting to kick the tires on George
9:51Pickkins. Uh, and George Pickins is
9:54playing on the franchise tag. and George
9:57Pickkins would obviously be a
9:59gamechanging type pickup for pretty much
10:02anyone. Uh, but when you look at Dallas,
10:05I don't think this was at all the plan,
10:08but they're three and five right now.
10:10So, theoretically, they could still win
10:11the NFC East because the NFC East is a
10:14train wreck. But at 3 and five, is
10:18George Pickkins like the long-term guy
10:21here? And do they consider moving George
10:24Pickkins at the trade deadline? Could
10:26this be the shock? I don't think
10:29something will happen. Um, but I think
10:32that George Pickkins would be like the
10:34the real shocking trade if one was to go
10:37down. We're all sort of expecting
10:39running backs to be moved. George
10:41Pickkins would be the one that it would
10:43be absolutely wild. And who would want
10:45George Pickkins? I mean, there would be
10:47a line of teams. I mean, everybody
10:49besides Pittsburgh because that would
10:50just be too funny for him to reunite
10:52with the Steelers. Um, but how about the
10:5549ers? How about how about a a team
10:57that's chasing it and wants to win a
11:00Super Bowl this year, pushing the chips
11:02in, making a big big bet on Pickkins,
11:05and then potentially trying to resign
11:07him. He's an interesting one. Now, Josh
11:10Downs, Indianapolis Colts, teams that
11:12have been mentioned for Josh Downs,
11:14Kansas City Chiefs, New and New England
11:16Patriots for for George Pickins. That's
11:18like a a a a late like galaxy brain
11:20rumor. You don't know if that's getting
11:22put out there by like their beat
11:24reporters, but the 49ers, the Patriots,
11:27any team that has aspirations to make a
11:29move in the postseason and wants to add
11:32a young wide receiver, like the line
11:34would be through the block. But the
11:35George Pickins probably doesn't get
11:37moved. Couple wide receivers that I
11:38think could get moved though, Brian
11:40Thomas Jr.,
11:42Jacksonville Jaguars has been linked to
11:44the Steelers, has been linked to the
11:46Chiefs, the 49ers, the Raiders, and then
11:49there's some speculation that the Rams
11:51could be interested, that the Washington
11:53Commanders could be interested in. And
11:55now it seems like the Jaguars have sort
11:57of moved on from Thomas in terms of what
12:00they're looking at. Uh he's a touchdown
12:01or bus guy. I had a touch on this past
12:03week, but if he were to be traded, you
12:06would have guys like Travis Hunter, uh,
12:09Jacobe Meyers, Brenton Strange,
12:11everything would sort of consolidate a
12:13little bit. Uh, keep an eye on BTJ. He's
12:15still on a rookie contract and the
12:17Jaguars are contenders. So, uh, not sure
12:20if they'll make this move. Josh DS, the
12:22Colts want a fourth round pick right
12:24now. teams that have been mentioned, the
12:27Chiefs, the Steelers, the New England
12:29Patriots, multiple teams would want Josh
12:32DS. The Colts are not necessarily going
12:35to sell him. It sounds like if they get
12:37a fourthrounder offered to them, they're
12:39going to pull the trigger, but if not,
12:41they're just going to hold on to DS, but
12:43he's a a big name and he could really
12:45use a change of pace. Downs. We've seen
12:47him put up big fantasy numbers. Uh, and
12:49a lot of this year has been really
12:51underwhelming. But if he ends up on a
12:53team with available targets that could
12:55park him in the slot, I think Downs
12:57would be a viable player. Jerry Judy
13:01feels like a name that's been out there.
13:03Uh, and it just makes too much sense
13:05with Casey Conpion and Denzel Boston
13:07well ahead of him. Jerry Judy also has
13:09like a minimal cap hit. So Jerry Judy I
13:11think is in play. Jawan Jennings. We
13:14already heard him being linked on a
13:16return to San Francisco. Sounds like he
13:18doesn't want that. Would Minnesota move
13:20Jennings? I think they would. I don't
13:21see why they wouldn't. Um, but Jennings
13:24was a name being mentioned. No real
13:25fantasy impact there. And then Quinton
13:27Johnston. He's another name where we've
13:30seen speculation that he could get
13:32moved. Um, obviously a very
13:34disappointing year for him, but a
13:36big-bodied wide receiver who can make
13:37plays downfield. Stylistically could
13:40help a lot of teams. Not sure what he
13:42would command in the market, but the
13:43Chargers are definitely sellers right
13:45now. Looking at the tight end position,
13:47a couple of names being mentioned.
13:50Dallas Goddard for the Eagles. The we
13:52know they selected Eli Sters last year.
13:55Dallas Goddard we we've heard sort of
13:58mentioned as a potential trade
14:00candidate. Uh we'll see like how much
14:02validity there is with that one. But
14:05Goddard is 31 years old right now and
14:09there's been multiple teams sort of
14:11linked to Goddard. There's been a little
14:13bit of speculation that maybe the
14:14Patriots get involved after the Hunter
14:16Henry injury. You're going to see sort
14:18of you have obviously some tight end
14:21injuries, some tight ends start to get
14:22banged up and then Goddard playing at a
14:24high level this year. He's got 26
14:26receptions on the year, 258 receiving
14:29yards. Um he's had a couple of really
14:31strong weeks. We'll see if the Dallas
14:33GDart trade were to go down, but pretty
14:36much I think there's a lot of teams that
14:38could look at him stylistically and say,
14:41"Okay, I could use a Dallas Goddard." A
14:43team I'll throw out there, the Chicago
14:46Bears because they lost Cole KT and this
14:49would be obviously a downer for fantasy
14:51for Dallas Gddard managers because he'd
14:53be competing with like not only Colston
14:55Love, but guys like Luther Burton, Rumma
14:57Dunes, and DeAndre Swift. But the Bears
14:59have already made a move to go get
15:01Simmons. Potentially taking on a tight
15:03end like Goddard would make a lot of
15:05sense for them. So keep an eye on Dallas
15:07Goddard. I don't know think this
15:08necessarily goes down, but it's a name
15:10that we've heard. Jawan Johnson Saints.
15:13We know that the Saints have Noah Fant.
15:15They also have Oscar Delp, a couple
15:16other guys on the on the roster. And no
15:20and Jawan Johnson's north of 30 right
15:22now. He's had a lot of success there.
15:24Well, the last two years, a lot of
15:26success. Um, but it feels like an
15:28expendable asset. Much like Alvin
15:30Kamara, much like Kendra Miller, keep an
15:33eye on Jawan Johnson at the deadline.
15:36Probably some other tight ends to
15:37monitor. We'll continue to do that over
15:39the next week. And then quarterbackwise,
15:42obviously the name that is playing at an
15:45extremely high level is Kirk Cousins,
15:48who's top five in in passing yards. He's
15:52number two in passing touchdowns. He's
15:54at 4 and4 record for the Vegas Raiders.
15:58If they lose to San Francisco this week,
16:01is there a chance they move Kirk Cousins
16:03and Kirk Cousins goes to, let's say, a
16:06Minnesota Vikings? Just throwing that
16:08name out there. Uh, we know Vikings are
16:10going to be buyers. Do they trust Kyler
16:11Murray? Could you see a Kirk Cousins
16:13reunion there? uh Kirk Cousins playing
16:16at a very high level and could multiple
16:19teams sort of view him as a potential
16:21upgrade for them at the position.
16:24Another sneaky name that's been thrown
16:26out the last couple days as a potential
16:28Lamar Jackson replacement is Tyson
16:31Begent in Chicago. And this one sort of
16:34makes sense. It would be a ve very
16:36Baltimore Ravenslike move to take on a
16:39younger player like Begent who might be
16:42a long-term asset for them as a backup
16:44quarterback, a good backup quarterback.
16:46I know he's had he's been shaky this
16:49year, but a lot of teams value Begent
16:51and obviously expendable with Caleb
16:53Williams being an elite player and
16:56Chicago not really getting anything out
16:57of Beijing during the year this year and
16:58they might cash out. Uh, I wonder what
17:00that would cost draft pick-wise, but
17:02that would be a name where if we have
17:04like Z Flowers, we're like, "Okay, Tyson
17:06Begent, come on down. That sounds
17:07great." And then the other name, Jacobe
17:10Brassette, who's been relegated in
17:12Arizona. Now you've got Mshu Magic with
17:14potentially Carson Beck. Could Jacobe
17:16Brassette be appealing to a couple of
17:19teams out there that want to take him on
17:21as a potential spot starter or an option
17:24down the stretch?
17:26Brassette's an interesting name, but
17:28Cousins and Bean obviously move the
17:30needle a little more. Bottom line, we're
17:32going live if anything big happens.
