Aaron Jones

PositiveValue44:00

The source recommends Aaron Jones as a short-term buy for the next two to three weeks, projecting him as a solid low-end RB2 while Minnesota stabilizes their backfield situation.

Insight page

Amon-Ra St. Brown

NegativeUsage17:55

Amon-Ra St. Brown remains a primary option in the Detroit passing game, recording 14 targets in the team's recent high-volume offensive performance.

Insight page

Caleb Williams

NegativeValue9:32

Caleb Williams is considered an elite fantasy asset and a player the source refuses to trade away, serving as a benchmark for untouchable status.

Insight page

Cam Akers

PositiveValue6:41

Cam Akers is a buy candidate after recording 18 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. The source views his role as the primary backfield competition to Devin Singletary as a positive signal of his health and functionality, despite concerns regarding his lack of passing game usage.

Insight page

Chris Olave

NegativeValue7:34

The source uses Chris Olave as a benchmark for trade value, questioning whether he is the type of player one should pivot off of to acquire Malik Nabers. The source also compares Olave's potential trajectory to that of Jackson Smith-Njigba.

Insight page

Chris Rodriguez

NegativeUsage45:38

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is splitting snaps with Tank Bigsby, but his efficiency remains a concern after recording only 23 yards on six carries in his recent outing.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveValue5:08

Christian Watson is a high-value target following a massive Week 1 performance of 6 catches, 147 yards, and 2 TDs on 8 targets against Minnesota. While he is nearly impossible to acquire in trades, the source advises managers to kick the tires on him as a priority asset.

Insight page

Cole Kmet

NegativeUsage4:13

Cole Kmet caught a touchdown pass in Week 1, contributing to the target competition that limited Colson Lovelin's production in the Bears' high-scoring offense.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

PositiveUsage5:12

DJ Moore is highlighted for his role in a consolidated target share within the Chicago Bears offense, where he and Dalton Kincaid combined for a 50% target share.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

PositiveBreakout5:08

The source is aggressively buying Dalton Kincaid, citing his 130-yard performance, 73% snap share, and the high level of trust shown by Josh Allen. He is a priority trade target with a consolidated target share in the Buffalo offense; the source suggests pivoting from more highly drafted tight ends to acquire him before his trade window closes.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeValue20:36

The source suggests considering a sell-high trade for David Montgomery only if you can pivot to a more elite asset, noting that his three-touchdown performance in Week 1 may represent his highest-scoring game of the season. While the source acknowledges Montgomery's tremendous role and efficiency, they advise using his current perceived value as a top-eight running back to facilitate a two-for-one trade to upgrade your roster.

Insight page

De'Von Achane

PositiveUsage24:29

The source advises buying Devon Achane despite public sentiment leaning toward selling him after Miami's poor Week 1 performance. The source emphasizes that Achane's usage remains elite, citing an 88% snap share, 15% target share, and 15 total touches, suggesting that his fantasy value is insulated by his heavy involvement in the offense.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveValue18:51

The source identifies Drake London as a prime buy-low candidate following a disappointing four-target, two-catch performance in Week 1. Despite current production being hampered by poor quarterback play, the source highlights London's consistent 16.5 points per game average over consecutive seasons and notes that his production historically spikes when Michael Penix Jr. is at quarterback, citing a 14-game sample with a 20.5 points per game average, 90-plus receiving yards per game, and a 30% target share.

Insight page

Harold Fannin

NegativeValue7:18

The source suggests packaging Harold Fannon and Tucker Kraft as a trade offer to acquire Dalton Kincaid, indicating a willingness to move off these players for Kincaid's upside.

Insight page

Isaiah Likely

PositiveBreakout11:02

Isaiah Likely is a high-priority trade target after an 8-catch, 78-yard, 2-touchdown performance. His role is viewed as sustainable due to a lack of target competition outside of Malik Nabers.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

PositiveUsage17:15

The source recommends buying low on Jameson Williams, citing his nine targets, 90%+ route participation, 56% air yard share, and a first-read rate above 30%. Despite early-season drops, the source views his target volume as a strong signal for future production, bolstered by Jared Goff actively targeting him.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

NegativeBreakout8:16

The source identifies Jayden Daniels (referred to as Jackson Dart) as an elite fantasy asset and a major buy candidate. His Week 1 performance included 11 rushes for 54 yards and 3 passing touchdowns with no interceptions, demonstrating efficiency and a lack of turnover risk.

Insight page

Joe Burrow

NegativeInjury9:51

Joe Burrow is currently dealing with back issues, which the source notes as a concern for his status and performance.

Insight page

Josh Allen

NegativeValue7:04

Josh Allen is considered an elite, untouchable fantasy asset. His trust in Dalton Kincaid during key situations is a primary driver for Kincaid's breakout potential in the Bills' offense.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeUsage15:03

There is currently uncertainty regarding the Green Bay backfield, with the source questioning whether Josh Jacobs will return to a primary role.

Insight page

Kalif Raymond

NegativeUsage3:57

Khalif Raymond recorded nine targets in Week 1, which the source views as a factor that temporarily limited Colson Lovelin's passing game opportunities, though it remains to be seen if this target volume is sustainable.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

NegativeValue7:13

The source advises using Kyle Pitts as a trade asset to pivot toward acquiring Dalton Kincaid, suggesting Kincaid is the superior fantasy asset at the position.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

NegativeValue9:36

Lamar Jackson is listed as one of the few quarterbacks the source would refuse to trade away, serving as a benchmark for elite status.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

PositiveValue7:26

Malik Nabers is considered a high-value asset that is difficult to acquire in trades. Current managers are likely ecstatic about his usage and will demand an elite package in return, making him a difficult target to obtain.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

PositiveBreakout5:08

The source is buying high on Matthew Golden as a year-two breakout candidate. He leads all Packers receivers with a 30% target share and high route participation, and is currently seeing usage in two-wide receiver sets over Jayden Reed. He is considered a more accessible entry point into the Green Bay offense than Christian Watson.

Insight page

Mike Evans

NegativeValue18:27

Mike Evans is used as a benchmark for draft capital comparison by fantasy managers frustrated with Jameson Williams' early-season performance.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

NegativeBust23:31

The source recommends selling Rashee Rice, viewing his recent Monday Night Football touchdown as an ideal opportunity to pivot to other wide receivers. The source maintains a bearish outlook, arguing that Rice's final production will not match his ADP and that the Chiefs' offensive changes will lead to a steep drop-off in his performance.

Insight page

Sam LaPorta

NegativeUsage18:04

Sam LaPorta is highlighted as a key pass-game option for the Detroit Lions alongside other primary targets.

Insight page

Trevor Lawrence

NegativeValue9:34

Trevor Lawrence is viewed as a player the source would likely not trade away, though with slightly less certainty than the top-tier elite options.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

NegativeValue7:18

The source suggests packaging Harold Fannon and Tucker Kraft as a trade offer to acquire Dalton Kincaid, indicating a willingness to move off these players for Kincaid's upside.

Insight page

Zay Flowers

PositiveValue7:34

Zay Flowers is highlighted as a strong asset following his 5-catch, 150-yard, 1-touchdown performance in Week 1. The source advises against trading him away to acquire other players.

0:00Week two, fantasy football trades to consider making to improve your fantasy team. Talking about a couple of buys, a few sells, talking about some buy highs
0:11as well as some buy low opportunities.
0:15If you're in a league that allows trading, week two is a great week to send out a few offers. You have a couple
0:23of things that are factoring into fantasy managers maybe being a little bit more apt to making a deal. First of all, everybody's still in contention. If
0:32you're 0 and1 or you're 1 and 0, you're still playing for a lot of things. If you're in certain leagues that are
0:39inactive throughout the year, you're going to have fantasy managers who are completely checked out and might not even reply to a trade offer. But that's
0:48not going to be the case in week two.
0:50Everyone still has hope. everyone still has optimism. Then you've also got the whole sunk cost fallacy where fantasy managers are hanging on to their priors
1:00from draft season maybe even more so than they should. Now, we don't want to overreact to the stats in week one, but
1:10we do want to react to the usage and the new trends. We also have some players where maybe we didn't get things right
1:19and we need to be willing to pivot. So week two is always a good one to send out a few offers and potentially reshape
1:27your roster. Now every single content creator under the sun, every single person on YouTube, every single podcast is telling you to go send an offer for
1:37Coloulston Lovelin this week. So I will like whatever double down on that. I It's not even double. You're hearing it so often here. Here's the the the
1:46negative thing. Most fantasy managers are not idiots. Uh, I mean, there's some idiots out there, but most are not idiots. And most people realize that I
1:54drafted this player who was so awesome in the NFL playoffs. He was the tight end three overall. I drafted him very
2:02highly. I'm not going to sell him for like peanuts to someone coming along and saying, "Hey, I'll buy your tight end
2:08who scored zero points." But it's worth kicking the tires on in your league to sort of send out an offer that's not
2:15super insulting and try to get yourself a little bit of Colston Lovelin, especially if you wanted him um in the preseason and and during draft season.
2:25But just a couple of simple takeaways, the Bears scored 59 points and they scored an exceptional amount of rushing touchdowns. You had six rushing scores
2:37which takes away opportunities for Lovelin in the passing game. You also had Khif Raymond with nine targets which Raymond looked great and and I'm not
2:46trying to discount him but it's sort of a will Khalif Raymond have a nine target game again but that that's not really
2:53necessarily the overlapping usage. It's really the rushing touchdowns I think with Lovelin and then also the fact that Cole KT caught a touchdown pass. So, I
3:02think it's a bounceback, get right spot for for Coulson Lovelin this week against the Minnesota Vikings. And we saw big performances from both Christian
3:11Watson and Matthew Golden. Wide receivers, but it's a susceptible secondary. We saw both of those players play very, very well against Minnesota.
3:20Coulson Lovelin has a chance for a big bounceback week, too. So, go kick the tires on some Coulson Lovelin. A perfect
3:26player for you to try to acquire if you have a manager who's nervous. Maybe a manager who is quick to make moves and
3:34is impatient. Maybe that manager who's 0 and one and is tilting a little bit, doesn't want to fall to 0 and2, but most
3:41likely you're not going to get that trade done. Now, this show should drop on Thursday. So, I'm going to make a
3:47quick note, and this could look foolish if this player goes out and has a bad game Thursday evening, but I'm doing
3:55what I can to buy high on Daltton Kaid.
3:59It feels like Daltton Concaid is a perfect buyigh candidate.
4:04Five catches, 130 yards. Really the the most productive Bills tight end uh in in forever. No Bills tight end has put up
4:13130 yards. It's in like the modern era.
4:16And you've got Daltton Cade. It's not just the counting stats, but it's that he played 73% of snaps.
4:24Ends up leading the Bills in receiving yardage. And it was just the trust that Josh Allen had in him in key situations
4:33to keep going to Daltton Concaid. I would easily send Kyle Pittz plus that doesn't probably get it done. Harold Fannon plus Tucker Craft I'd send for
4:44Dalton Concaid. And I know there's Craft I have, you know, plenty of exposure to and could do I wish I could go back and
4:51kind of pivot off of those picks and and take King Kade a little bit later. I think so. Concaid looks awesome and it's
4:58getting us access to an unbelievable offense in Buffalo where there's balance. There's Josh Allen playing tremendously like he always does, the
5:08threat of James Cook and then a really consolidated target share between Daltton King and DJ Moore where the two combined for a 50% target share. So I
5:18think Daltton Kaid is still obtainable.
5:20I've made a couple of overtures in some dynasty leagues to try to trade for him as well. So, I'm talking to a lot of you
5:26reddraft managers, and I'll do plenty of Dynasty content right here on this channel as well, but this is kind of specifically to the reddraft managers
5:34out there. If you can pivot off of a tight end who was more highly drafted than King Cade and are able to pivot
5:43over to King Kade, I think that's the way to do things. King Kade probably should have been drafted earlier based on what we're seeing now. If he comes
5:50out and has an awful game against Detroit, kind of forget what I said here. No, not really. I mean, I feel
5:55great regardless of what we see on Thursday evening. I am still very much in on Daltton Concaid. I think he's in a
6:02terrific spot. And if he goes out and blows up in on Thursday night against Detroit in prime time, then the trade
6:09window is probably closed. So, take advantage of the sunk cost fallacy drafter who holds on to their priors in terms of ADP and how they're viewing
6:19players still. King Kade is one who should be higher. And speaking of players who should be higher, I've said this on several shows. I said this with
6:28Jacob Gibbs. I said this on another show earlier this week right here on this podcast, but I'm buying in on the New
6:34York Giants offense. And I'm buying in on any giant I can get from the big four. And that's including Cam Scataboo.
6:42Cam Scataboo is the interesting one because if you're a manager who is just chasing volume and touchdowns, then you're very happy about what what
6:52transpired against Dallas because Scataboo had 18 carries, 81 yards, and a touchdown. But then there's going to be fantasy managers who are a little bit
7:01nervous about the lack of passing game usage. And that might be a signal that they're willing to sell. I think the
7:08fact that Scataboo looked so healthy and so functional and the fact that his biggest backfield competition in week one was Devin Singleary. That's a signal
7:20that I want to go trade for Scataboo and he's probably at this point the easiest one to get. Now Malik Neighbors you're
7:26probably not going to be able to trade for the fantasy manager with Malik Neighbors is going to want an elite asset to go get Malik Neighbors. And I I
7:34think that you know, you know, the Chris Olave, Z Flowers, I don't know if that's the type of players I would pivot off to
7:42to get some neighbors. I personally think, you know, I talked about how Chris Ave could be this year's Jackson Smith and Jigba. Talked about how Z
7:50Flowers five catches, 150 yards, and a touchdown in week one. Those are not really the assets I want to trade off of
7:57my team. But if you're able to get Malik Neighbors, go ahead and get him. uh you're going to probably have to come up
8:02with a very interesting and very uh big package of players to trade to get him because I think the fact that he played
8:10week one, the fantasy manager who took him is sort of ecstatic that he's out on the field when he was supposed to miss
8:16and Jackson Dart looked so good. I want to buy Jackson Dart wherever I can. I think Jackson Dart looks like an elite
8:24fantasy asset at the quarterback position. And I don't think it's hyperbolic or based on a one-ame sample size for me to say that. 11 rushes for
8:3554 yards and then he has three passing touchdowns with no interceptions.
8:40Dart is not loose with the football. I think this was sort of a misconception coming into his being a starter as a
8:49rookie that maybe he had a little bit of gunslinger in him. Dart's touchdown to interception ratio has always been good throughout his time in the NFL and
8:58continues to do so. Completely shredded the Dallas Cowboys defense and he did so without any explosive plays. I would be willing to potentially pivot off of a
9:10quarterback that was drafted higher to get Jackson Dart. And again, find the quarterbacks who are were drafted higher in ADP and go down the list and say,
9:20would you rather have Jackson Dart or this guy? And I think you can find several quarterbacks that were drafted as QB1s that I would be willing to pivot
9:28off of to get to Jackson Dart. Now, would I be willing to pivot off pivot off of Caleb Williams? Absolutely not.
9:33Josh Allen? Absolutely not. Trevor Lawrence, probably not. And Lamar Jackson, absolutely not. And that's probably the list. The rest of the
9:42quarterback side all be willing to have a conversation and kind of look at the circumstances and the situation surrounding them. So, I basically named
9:51about four quarterbacks. Everybody else is sort of in play. Joe Burrow even is dealing with like a little bit of back
9:58issues at this point. So, I I think Jackson Dart is poised to have a terrific year. and I'm going to kick the
10:04tires. Basically a signal if you don't love your quarterback situation, try to go trade for Jackson Dart. And I think a
10:12lot of you are laughing at this one saying like Theo, the the Jackson Dart manager is not going to trade him away.
10:17But I'll say this, I have a number of teams where Jackson Dart is my QB, too.
10:22And it's a champagne problem, but it's also an annoying one, cuz I have that in a bunch of leagues where I can't trade.
10:28I have FFPC and NFC leagues where I have Jackson Dart was like my QB2 that I drafted. Leagues where it was like
10:36Jaylen Herz and Jackson Dart, Jared Goff and Jackson Dart. And I can't trade him in those leagues. But there's going to
10:43be reddraft leagues where fantasy managers wait on quarterback. Fantasy managers take two quarterbacks. And you might end up with a situation where
10:51there's a Jaylen Herz Jackson Dart team.
10:53There's a Jaden Daniels Jackson Dart team. and fantasy managers are going to feel a little bit uh flexible to make that move. One other player from New
11:02York that we need to mention, Isaiah likely. And it's another situation sort of like Daltton Concaid where we need to like check our priors. This
11:11is not to today's price is is is not yesterday's price. Isaiah likely looks like the real thing. And he had eight
11:19targets, eight catches, 78 yards, and two touchdowns. And I know there's going to be people sort of laughing and and saying laughing and saying likely did
11:28this a couple years ago where he had that huge game against Kansas City. This is way different because there's a complete lack of competition in terms of
11:36targets for him on this team besides Malik Neighbors. And tight ends tight end strategy is not rocket science. It's like there's going to be fantasy
11:44analysts out there that want to spend all this time and be all nuanced about the tight end position and we can have
11:50those conversations and we do in the offseason, but now's the time for business. We're in week two and if your tight end is not the number one or
12:00number two target in the passing game, then you're probably not going to get the type of tight end production that you really want. So, likely is a target
12:07as well. Now, all these guys cost a little bit more than they did before the start of the season, but that doesn't
12:14mean they're properly priced right now.
12:16And we bring up the explosive plays. Uh New York had like no explosive plays. I don't think that's going to be the case
12:23every single game where no explosive plays. They had like one catch over 15 yards and that's it. There will be some
12:31explosive plays in this offense and I think the ceiling outcome will get there. This is another offense where they're playing the Rams this week. And
12:40if they go out there and go toe-to-toe with the Rams or beat the Rams, then I think there's going to be a new normal
12:46with how the Giants offense is treated.
12:48They've also got the Tennessee Titans in week three. That feels like a game where they could potentially woodshed the Hapless Titans, who struggled against
12:57the other New York team, the Jets, could get woodshed in week three by the Giants. So, I think there's going to be
13:02a real changing of our perceptions regarding the New York Giants as we move forward. Uh, continuing the conversation, players to trade for.
13:11Quick note that this show is brought to you by Better. If you're watching football and you want a little more action on the games, check out Better.
13:18Make picks on your favorite players more or less on their stats or jump into the Better Sports Book for spreads, totals,
13:24and money lines. It's all in one app.
13:27continuing to discuss players to trade for. I'm gonna buy high on Matthew Golden. I think this was a storyline
13:36where rightfully so. We we make a big reaction to Christian Watson and what a tremendous game he had in week one
13:45against Minnesota. Six catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets. Watson's going to be nearly impossible to get. If you have fantasy
13:55managers in your league who are sort of not believing what they have in Christian Watson, absolutely go and kick kick the tires. But lost in the
14:03Christian Watson shuffle was Matthew Golden having his best game as a pro.
14:09Six catches for 95 yards and 15 and a half PPR points. But the key number for Chris for Matthew Golden is 12 targets.
14:20and the fact that he's on the field in two wide receiver sets with Jaden Reed on the bench. So, Matthew Golden, you
14:27talk about was a punchline during the NFL draft where I remember being on a bunch of shows where I was sort of the
14:34Matthew Golden guy and I took a lot of flak for that one, being open-minded to Matthew Golden, having some exposure to
14:40him in Dynasty. Uh, and I took L's last year on this one because it was a slow season, a slow ramp up, but it feels
14:48like I I shouldn't take an L. I should just be patient. I think this feels like a potential Matthew Golden year 2
14:54breakout. You talk about the Green Bay Packers, how the passing game looks very functional, and we still don't have clarity of what's going on with Josh
15:03Jacobs and will he return. We do know that Marshon Lloyd led the backfield, but the production was minimal against a Minnesota team. We've got New York this
15:13week, but I think Matthew Golden at a 30% target share leads all Green Bay Packers receivers and routes run.
15:22There's some metrics there with a year 2 player who was a firstround pick in the NFL draft. They have very high hopes for
15:30and it looks like this could be the breakout season for Matthew Golden. I want to try to buy Matthew Golden. And
15:36when you think about the sunk cost fallacy, it sort of works both ways.
15:40Some fantasy managers are going to say, I'm getting an offer for the guy I took in the 10th round, the 11th round. I'm
15:48going to consider trading him for a reasonable offer and cash out on these 12 targets.
15:54There's some managers who understand what they're holding in Matthew Golden and realize they potentially drafted a steel, but there's other managers who
16:01again were going to take advantage of their summer preconceived notions on players. And there's also going to be some structural managers out there. And
16:09I know you guys love when I use the word structural, but you know how it is. If you're trying to catch up at wide
16:14receiver and you're OTC and you say, "Oh, I got a starting wide receiver, year two guy, Matthew Golden. I don't really want to take him here, but I'm
16:22gonna pull the trigger because that's what you do. You're going to have drafters like that as well who might feel like they just turned a dime into a
16:30quarter when they might have way more than that. So, kick the tires on some Matthew Golden. I think it's a much
16:36easier entry point into the Green Bay offense than trying to acquire Christian Watson, who hey man, if you can go get
16:43Christian Watson, go ahead and do it.
16:46Catch every drive, every play, and every touchdown poolside stadium swim at Circa Resort and Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
16:53Take it all in from six temperature controlled pools or claim your place in a lounge chair, daybed, or private cabana. With a massive 143 ft screen and
17:03immersive audio, you won't just watch the action, you'll feel it. Make Stadium Swim at Circa Resort and Casino your game day ritual. Reserve your spot in
17:11the sun today at circa vegas.com.
17:15One more player to buy low on, Jameson Williams, who had nine targets, but he had had some costly drops here. But the
17:23nine targets is the operative number for Jameson Williams. We're looking for this sort of target total. And I know it's a
17:30game where Detroit ran an exceptional amount of plays, as did New Orleans. The game flow was good, and we had overtime
17:36in the mix here. So, it's a little bit skewed, but route participation was 90 plus%. Airyard share was exceptional 56%
17:48airyard share first read rate was well above 30%. And then we talk about the targets where Alman Ross St. Brown had
17:5614 but Jameson Williams had nine and this sort of target share is signal when you talk about Jir Gibbs you talk
18:04about Sam Leaporta and then you talk about Alman Ross St. Brown. Those are really strong options in the pass game, but Jared Goff is targeting Jameson
18:14Williams. You're getting this tremendous airyard share and I think there's a lot of people sort of victory lapping how they faded Jameson Williams this week. I
18:22think it's a dangerous game, but you're going to have fantasy managers who are like, uhoh. You know, I look at where
18:28Jameson Williams was drafted. I could have drafted Mike Evans. I could have drafted a bunch of these other guys. And I'm frustrated because I got less than
18:36nine points in week one and the guy had some drops. But I think this is a perfect time to go trade for Jameson
18:42Williams. Again, if you're listening to this Thursday night, we'll have a lot more information, but JMO is one to certainly kick the tires on. Another
18:51player to buy low on, Drake London.
18:53Drake London, it's a very easy argument here. All Atlanta pass catchers are going to be garbage with Cooper Rush behind center. We have to downgrade this
19:04entire offense. But a light at the end of the tunnel. Michael Pennix potentially starting some games this year for Atlanta. That's signal for
19:13Drake London. Drake London, we know what he is. He's a great player. 16.5 points per game in consecutive seasons. He's an
19:20alpha and we're not going to really see it until we get a little bit of quarterback improvement, but it's a perfect time to trade for him because
19:29the target total was so low last week.
19:31four total targets and he gets two catches for 29 yards. It's a nightmarish start for fantasy managers who drafted him. And I've got some Drake London in
19:41leagues that don't allow trading, but in leagues, if I was in a league that allowed trading, I would kick the tires
19:47on this one because we know what he is.
19:50again 16 and a half points in consecutive seasons, a very highly drafted player, high pedigree guy, and we know what the situation will look
20:00like with Michael Penn because we have like a 14 game sample size of these two playing together and a 20.5 point per
20:07game average for Drake London in PPR leagues and 90 plus receiving yards per game in games where Michael Pennock starts and a target share north of 30%.
20:18That's high-end wide receiver one alpha numbers. If I can get Drake London and sort of weather the storm early on, I
20:25think there's going to be better weeks ahead. I think the splits are going to be dramatic when it comes to London.
20:31When we get a quarterback change, it's going to be awesome for him. One player to consider selling high, and this was
20:37mostly an optimistic buys. I'll try to give you guys more sells as we get more information throughout the season, but one uh player to consider selling high
20:46on. And it's really only if you can pivot to something really good because I think the role is tremendous for David
20:54Montgomery. But when it comes to Montgomery, you you could potentially be selling him off of an extremely high-scoring, two touchdown performance
21:04for him. Where Montgomery is looking great, but again, three yards per carry, does get two rushing scores. It's the receiving touchdown though. So, you get
21:16the three touchdown performance for David Montgomery. We have to remember the Buffalo Bills are always very generous to opposing backs. And again,
21:24this is not a sell David Montgomery just to sell David Montgomery. I think if you drafted David Montgomery like I did in a
21:30couple leagues, you're feeling great about things. But if I'm able to sell him a off of a three touchdown game where maybe fantasy managers are
21:40treating him sort of like a top eight asset at the running back position, I'd be willing to listen to offers. I also
21:48think when you get this sort of a score line in a trade league, it kind of lends itself towards two for one trades where
21:56let's say you hit on David Montgomery.
21:58Let's say maybe you hit on your fourth and your sixth round picks as well.
22:02Let's say you take Montgomery in round four, round five um as your running back two or your flex and then you also hit
22:09on some wide receivers. It's a tier up type player where can I take David Montgomery and a wide receiver who put
22:17up a big stat line in in week one and I can I trade those two and get like a really elite asset type player. Fantasy
22:25managers are going to be looking at two for ones depending on their structure.
22:28and you know the managers in your league that are looking at two for ones based on how sorry their roster is and if they
22:35don't have options at the running back two spot or the flex spot or both or their wide receivers are looking shaky
22:43then a two for one can help them as much as getting that elite asset can go to you. So again, it's a consider trading
22:52David Montgomery only if you're getting treated like a top 10 running back option because again coming off of a three touchdown game, this might be his
23:02biggest performance of the entire season. But I'll say if you don't trade him and you just hold him, you're in fine shape as well. So there's a little
23:08bit of context to this one. Understand the asset you're holding and understand what you would need to get in order to
23:14move him, but it's not one of these untouchables. consider moving him if you can tear up to a more elite asset than
23:22Montgomery potentially in a better offense as well. Another player to consider selling and selling low on.
23:31It's really Rashi Rice. And this was a fade for me all offseason long. And I'm not going to get everything right here,
23:36but I'm going to get a lot right. And it was sort of the writing on the wall that Rashi Rice, the offense was going to
23:43change in a major dramatic way with Kenneth Walker. and Rashi Rice. I think if you have him on your team, the
23:49getting a touchdown on Monday Night Football when everyone's watching, it's a signal and you might be able to pivot off. I would trade Rashi Rice for a lot
24:00of these wide receivers. Uh I think this is a a player where the ADP is not going to match up with the final um with the
24:08final production and I think this is going to be a steep drop off for Rice.
24:12any of the wide receivers sort of drafted around him. If I can find a way to pivot, I'm gonna look to do that.
24:19There's a really a a high number of wide receivers that I would pivot to when it comes to Rice. Couple of running back
24:26suggested buys here.
24:29Devon Achan, who it's I'm seeing a lot of people recommending selling Achan because Miami struggled against Vegas in week one and people want to just get out
24:40of all Miami Dolphins. And I understand trying to avoid poor offenses. It makes your life easier. But with Han, the
24:48usage was elite. 88% snap share, a 15% target share, and 15 touches. So it was a disastrous game, but the usage is
24:59tremendous. And it's a player who's had double-digit touchdowns every year of his career. Has had 135 plus catches in the last two seasons combined. And he's
25:09probably the best bet to lead Miami in total catches this season. So buying into an elite talent in a bad situation,
25:19but I might have a window where I'm able to get Devon Achan and potentially use him as my running back two now as
25:26opposed to having to take him as my running back one. I'm going to be kicking the tires on Devon Chan in some
25:31dynasty leagues, seeing if I can acquire him as well. I think that there is an inflection point now just looking at
25:38what some people are saying and sort of the rest of the season prognostication for Achan where it's an inflection point where you've reached a sort of a it's
25:49way too much fade and way too much hate off of one game sample size. And I know that this week they've got a tough one
25:56against the 49ers, but that game could also lend itself to Achan having a big bounceback. All it takes with Achan is
26:04one big run and he's off to the races.
26:07And with Achan against the 49ers, if the game flow dictates it, I think you're going to see an opportunity for a bunch
26:14of catches out of the backfield. And I think they're going to try their best to get there. Now the the pass volume is
26:20going to be low in Miami this year with Malik Willis, but that doesn't mean that the target share and the total targets
26:25cannot support Achan. So kicking the tires on Devon Achan. We've reached an inflection point, I think, after week one where this is probably going to be
26:34the cheapest he's going to be all season long. Another player to buy for the very short term is Aaron Jones. Jordan Mason
26:41went to the IR. Aaron Jones is not a player I'd want to invest in for the entire season. But I think if you look
26:47at the next two to three weeks while Minnesota sort of figures out what they're doing at running back, Jones's usage is going to be good. He's going to
26:56get catches out of the back field. He's going to get a high number of the carries and despite being a very old
27:02back, he's going to get about as much as he can handle. So, I think Aaron Jones, if you're if you're a fantasy manager
27:08who needs a top 20 to 24 running back, like a low-end RB2, Aaron Jones is that.
27:14And then the final player to sort of recommend buying, Bashel Tutin. There's a lot of discourse on Toutin, uh, there's some people saying to sell,
27:23there's people downgrading him, but I think that when you look at Bashel Tutin, it feels like it could be a breakout
27:31week. And there's some metrics behind that. Now he's going to end up conceding a number of snaps to Chris Rodriguez.
27:39But with Toutin, despite conceding snaps to Rodriguez, Rodriguez had 23 yards rushing on six carries. Bashel Tutin had 66 yards rushing. So there's a lot of
27:50discourse on how this is a big split, but there's 16 touches to six and not enough people are sort of talking about
27:57that. Toutton also there's some key metrics sort of supporting him where he he just looks explosive. We know that the yards after contact per rush attempt
28:09are very strong and very good indication of a a running back who's running well.
28:14And then we look at Denver and Denver should has a chance for a get right game against Jacksonville of course but that
28:22defense showed major question marks against the backfield in Kansas City.
28:27Now, Bachel Tutin's not Kenneth Walker, and I'm not trying to say that, but I do think this is a situation where
28:32Jacksonville has a chance to get a statement win. I think people look at Jacksonville, what they did against Cleveland, as sort of taking care of
28:40business, but they have a chance to get a statement win against the Broncos, a team who was in the playoffs last year,
28:48and make a big statement in week two here. And I think Toutton has a chance to make a couple of explosive runs.
28:55Right now, he's being sort of treated as a fringe RB2. I think maybe by this time next week, there's going to be more
29:02people sort of treating him like the running back 18 level player. And we're chasing a really good offense in Jacksonville. I'm Theo Griminger. Going
