Week 3 Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Buy Low, Sell High & Live Trade Questions (Ep. 2215)

0:01 What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros. It's a synth Wednesday on that open for the Fantasy Pros live trade advice. I had not heard that open before. Hopefully, the people on the podcast get to hear that as well. I don't know if they do, but we were vibing. We were jiving. We were doing the stuff. Eric's behind the scenes, little drums, little bass.

0:19 Slap, slap at the bass, man. Slap at the bass. Slap.

0:22 You were slapping the bass. I was doing little keys, little keyboard here. And that was all in preparation to talk with you guys because we are here for the next 45 minutes or so to answer all of your fantasy football trade questions going into week three. Trades and trades and trades. Some other stuff might slip in. That's all good. but we are here to talk about some trades.

0:42 Andrew Erickson's got you covered. I will be steering the ship and you guys have an opportunity to jump the line over everybody. When you drop super chat, super chats. Um, if you guys are listening on the podcast, highly suggest you can come over, hang out in YouTube. If, If and when we don't have Super Chats, we've got a nice queue of questions. Our boy Seth D behind the scenes is going to be queuing up his favorite trade questions.

1:03 So make sure to schmooze him up. But again, your front of the line pass is Super Chats. They're going to be active for a little bit. I'll let you know if I need to cut them off because we don't want anybody to be unhappy. We want everybody to smile. We want people to vibe like we were vibing on that.

1:19 I had not heard that open. And that was like, that was quite the vibe, Erickson. I thought that set the mood properly for us.

1:25 Yeah, a little late afternoon trade question. I love it.

1:31 Yeah, a little... Let's get into it.

1:35 Makes me want to get some tacos, you know?

1:37 Did I really want you to get some tacos?

1:39 Okay.

1:39 Slap it to base, man. Slap it to base. Go get some tacos if you want. Let's get to the questions here. All fantasy football trades not waiting any longer. And Pierre's going to kick us off here. We've got PPR. PPR. Hampton for Warren and Swift. Chargers align and scheme mismatch. I can't speak.

1:58 Scare me.

1:59 And then there's a second question. Bring that back up. What do you think? We were actually talking about it in the ranks episode. A little bit of Hampton fears here. So which side of this would you want?

2:09 I think I'm taking Warren and Swift. Easy?

2:13 Nothing else?

2:13 Yeah. I mean, Hampton, I'm concerned about rest of season, including even this matchup against Buffalo. I think their defense, especially against the run, has gotten better under the new scheme. So, yeah, if this is what I can get in return for Hampton, Swift, once Caleb Williams is back, I think should be back to a fringe fantasy RB1. And Jalen Warren right now is the lock and load RB1. Not an exciting offense, but Rico Dowdle has a toe injury. So we don't really know when he's going to be back or how effective he's going to be. So, yeah, I think that this is a good move to get two starters.

2:46 I'm kind of down with this as well. I like the depth of it. Hampton, not as build as we kind of thought. Also on the other end, Javante Williams, assuming that's Casey Concepcion, for Skadaboo, Juwan, Johnson, and Diggs, which side would you want? Javante, the best player, obviously.

3:02 Yeah, I think that's the side that I'm just going to stay with. You know, Skadaboo, Juwan, Diggs, none of those guys move the needle enough for me where I want to give up the best player in the deal, which is Javante.

3:12 Yeah.

3:13 Agreed.

3:14 Shout out to Pierre for the first question of the show. Tim, PPR traded, Hampton's going to be our dude, traded Hampton and Schultz for Hubbard and Loveland. I actually love this trade. I don't know where you are on that, Hubbard. Obviously, the news, Jonathan Brooks, I say Jon Stewart, old Panthers, and I keep watching, I tell everybody I'm watching the Lantern series. series. Hubbard is going to be the guy with Brooks out for a minimum of six weeks. He has looked fantastic. And we have been preaching on shows by Loveland. This isn't the best week, but it's still the buy opportunity. You're going to have, if you hummed me, if you're going to have to sell me on why you're humming this, because I think this is like, this

3:58 is the trade you do.

4:00 Yeah. I think this is a really good trade. I think it's a trade that's plausible where if you're watching the stream right now and you have some of these guys here, this is a move that you could make that gets done. So buying low on Loveland. And I think the fact that they had Schultz, that might suggest to me that they don't even need to start level this week. I think that's the big thing I talked about on the trade show, where if you're going after bears ahead of this Eagles matchup, you can get them in a trade and then just put them on your bench, right?

4:26 You haven't, you haven't felt the pain of starting in the last two weeks. So you don't feel as bad about, Oh yeah, I'll put them on the bench. No big, no big deal.

4:34 Yeah. And I mean, you like a guy like Gadsden this week, if you go and trade for Loveland, maybe you can go pick up Gadsden as a replacement.

4:40 I know.

4:40 I think you have Gadsden at 13 and Loveland maybe right ahead of him, but if you don't want to deal with the Eagle situation, you could play around it. But I just like this trade. I think like how far off is Hubbard and Hampton's production going to be in the short term. And Loveland is a huge get.

4:52 I think the gap's probably going to close after this week. If I had to guess. Between Hubbard and Hampton, right? Oh, you mean it's going to become closer. Yeah. It's probably right now. If you look at rest of season rankings, But I think that after this week, Hubbard's going to get a full workload. Hampton, if he underswhelms and then people look at the rest of the schedule, Seattle, I think is week four for the Chargers. They're just brutal.

5:15 Yeah. But I just shout out to you guys, especially with the super chats to jump in. Shout out to you guys for all keeping on track. It's all trade stuff. I'm very impressed with like, I mean, it's all good if we have like a start and sit and stuff like that. But just very, I just want to say I'm very impressed with everybody in here with like the conversation.

5:29 Another reason. You guys should consider coming and hanging out if you listen on the podcast, which is all good. But good conversation, people talking trades, and everybody's very on track with these. So nice job. 2-0, RB split in Green Bay backfield. And then as soon as I say that, it's not a trade question.

5:44 I'm an idiot.

5:46 But it's all good. Is Lloyd a hold or drop? I think I actually saw people talking in the chat as well about who's the Green Bay running back to hold. Lloyd, hold or drop. The options that he could go with, Coleman... Mark Spears, RJ Harvey, Emmett Johnson, looking for more than a week one stash. And he's got Barkley and some other names in here. So first up, hold or drop Marshawn Lloyd, especially with the options that you're seeing in like Coleman, Coleman, Marks. And I think Emmett Johnson's a good one, too.

6:20 So assuming you don't have to start him and he's just a bench player, I would drop him for Coleman.

6:26 Well, he says he's got Barkley and a chance. Travis, Travis HN. So if you consider that like a comfortable spot, you would drop him for Coleman. I would do the same thing. I can be honest with you. I might consider it for marks as well. I like marks efficiency stuff and Caleb Johnson started rolling. And if we get that news any day now about Jacobs, it will be time served. And next thing you know, at three weeks is out. And if it's a four gamer, holy crap.

6:51 So I don't, I don't hold out a lot of hope. And Fitzy doesn't hold out a lot of hope for Lloyd either.

6:55 Yeah. It seems like, Lloyd stock is definitely on the downward trajectory and nothing about Thursday night suggests to me that it's going to change in his favor. So I think that it's probably better to get ahead of it, fill that roster spot with something a little bit more beneficial. I know Coleman popped up with a ankle sprain this week, so that's something you have to consider, but still it's early in the week. Harvey is banged up. JK Dobbins is banged up. So I think he's a better stash. Yeah.

7:21 And we've Coleman, like we've kind of talked at nauseam about to like, He's just back into the year, and it just so happens things are pushing up. But it does look like Dobbins is going to go. If Harvey doesn't, Coleman's the guy I want to roll with. So there you go.

7:34 All right.

7:34 I should have made my cool little, like, you guys are so on track, blah, blah, blah, with this question, because, of course, I'm immaculate timing. Because here's one. Anthony says, Standard League trade away Kyron Williams for Patrick Mahomes or David Montgomery. For Jared Goff. Oh, because there's two different trades.

7:50 So trade Kyron Williams to get Patrick Mahomes, or you could trade Dave Montgomery to get Jared Goff. Malik is my other quarterback. IR is my new team name. So I'm assuming this is a single, I have to assume this is single, right?

8:04 Yeah, single quarterback league, but clearly he's just hurting at the QB position. I'm sorry that he had Dart or Daniels or some combination of those types of players and has some running backs to deal. I think I would probably just trade.

8:18 Montgomery i don't want to either one of these honestly like i don't want to but if i did it would be montgomery yeah okay that's had a hard time conceptually but i mean it's standard league too but yeah that even makes golf even like a little bit better as well like he's just gonna sling robert offered mcbride hn pollard for my loveland chase brown jaylen warren running backs are walker brown warren coleman uh bills wide receivers parker nico one quarterback two running back so He was offered McBride, A. Chan, and Pollard to trade away Loveland, Chase Brown, and Warren. This kind of... If you wanted to play the cross-cancel game, this is just trading Pollard for Jalen Warren. You know what I'm saying? I mean,

9:06 you're getting an upgrade at tight end, but if you want to cross-cancel those... Running backs, maybe you're giving up a little bit, but you could cross-cancel those. The biggest discrepancy... I mean, I guess you could say the biggest discrepancy might be McBride to Loveland, but also getting Warren for Pollard.

9:19 Would you accept this trade to get McBride and A-Chan?

9:24 Yeah, this one's interesting. Trying to see their roster to see if there's a reason why it would shift in one way or the other.

9:33 So he has Ken Walker and. The way he wrote this, I'm having a hard time.

9:40 I mean, he's replacing Chase Brown and Jalen Warren with a Chan and Pollard, but he's getting McBride instead of Loveland, who we still like Loveland as a buy. So that's kind of in the back of my mind where it seems like right now it looks like a potential loss because you McBride, you know, is already, you know, he's going to be good. You need Loveland to. turn around quickly and not take forever, which we still think is going to happen, but not a guarantee versus McBride's proven production.

10:08 So why is this a loss to you?

10:12 No, I'm not saying it's a loss. Oh, Oh, I'm saying it's like Loveland is like the piece that matters the most here.

10:17 Yeah. A hundred percent.

10:18 If he doesn't fire, then this is a loss. But if he does live up to being the elite tight end that we thought he was going to be, then yes, this would be a win because you are upgrading that running back. So, you know, I was looking at, when I look at my articles, like Loveland was a buy for me. Chase Brown was a buy for me. I like Jalen Warmore and Tony Pollard. So. So you don't want to do it? Yeah, no, I think I'm going to stay.

10:39 Okay. I don't have a problem doing it. Uh, but there you go. Um, From Erickson's words and mouth to your ears. This is a good time to tell you, Seth, I think you might agree, I think we're going to cut off guaranteed Super Chats at this point. Because we're already, this is a 45 minute stream, we're already 30 plus deep.

10:58 So all that means to you is, from this moment on, if you drop a Super Chat, it is not guaranteed to be answered. Doesn't mean you can't, but we just don't know where we're going to go with it. I'd love to get some other questions in here as well, but just letting you know, guaranteed super chats. We'll nix that here because you guys have already done a really great job, and Seth will kind of keep track of that.

11:18 So there you go. There's the graphic. Response is no longer guaranteed, but we're going to get to lots of questions, and we'll try to do a lightning round when we rock into it. Before we get to more questions, I want to tell you guys, though, about this new prediction market. Have you heard of Polymarket, yes, of course you have.

11:35 It's a stock exchange for sports, buying in and selling out on your terms. When your team goes down to 20%, you can buy in and sell it off at 40% when they come back to double your money. And I said that weird. You can sell off at 40% when they come back to double your money. That's how to say it so you understand it. They're so confident you're never going to go back to the other guys. They're giving you a free $ 50 on your first trade when you deposit just $ 10. So download the Polymarket app today and use FPPod when you sign up. That's code FPPod to get $ 50 free after you trade just 10 bucks.

12:10 Check it out over at Polymarket. All right, let's get back to your guys' questions. James PPR offer is Hampton, Chuba, Jutkins, and JMO for my cook in London. So he trades away James Cook in London to get Hampton, Chuba, So three running backs and then a wide receiver. Cook is currently his only running back, so this is a play for him to get depth. He's got Pickens, Adunze, Mitchell.

12:34 Would you accept it? You're trading the best player in it, but you're getting a downgrade in Hampton, but then you're getting the depth that he does not have, he says.

12:46 Um, you see a three running. I mean, yeah, it's you're getting three running backs and Jameson.

12:50 And he adds JMO as his third wide receiver for pickings and dunes. I would usually say no to this, but this actually might be a trade that does benefit his team.

13:00 Yeah. I think I agree with that where this is where the roster context really needs to take part here. And I'm assuming that James has probably been hit by some injuries at the running back position, which is why he's such in a bad spot. So, but, Not the highest on Hampton, but Chuba looks like his outlook's pretty good.

13:18 It also doesn't mean, like, Hampton is a total zero, right? He can still score points, like, especially if you need depth at running back. I like Judkins as a buy, and Jamo is always a player that can swing a week in your favor if he has a big game, so... Yeah, I think that if you need to diversify and just get depth so you have multiple starters, if Cook is...

13:38 Is Cook the only running back on his entire roster?

13:41 I mean, obviously, it's probably bad news if he's... Yeah, so yeah, I think you got to do that.

13:45 Yeah, so yeah, get more startable pieces. So good trade, James. All right, James.

13:49 Tanner, you did two of these. There's that, but you rocked this. The guy with JSN just had to drop Dart at quarterback. Is it fair to ask for JSN, Saquon, and AJ Brown... If I give up Goff, Cook, Bowers, and Adams. Currently, I also have Stafford and Jamar Chase. Okay, so let's do this here. He's offering Goff, so the guy is a quarterback. Cook is a downgrade from Saquon.

14:19 And then Bowers and Adams to get JSN. I guess I see where the piece is coming. So I think the quick answer is, is it fair? I think this is actually a fair ask, but is it an ask you want to do?

14:30 I don't think that they're going to want to trade away JSN.

14:33 I don't know.

14:34 I feel pretty. So I think the thing, thing I would do is even honestly be like, look, you really need a quarterback. AJ Brown's still injured. You want to just make that move. So you don't have to worry about quarterback. I would think a little bit smaller in terms of what deal you're trying to make. I would not go for the quote unquote jugular by, Oh, I'm going to try to get their best player because most people can see right through that, where they know, they know what you're trying to do, where my quarterback went down.

14:57 I'm going to give you a quarterback for your best player. So if you make the deal more about Saquon and A.J. Brown and players that are dealing with some injuries right now, you send him Goff and then Adams. I think maybe that's an interesting piece that or I mean, even Goff and Adams for Goff, Adams, Cook for Saquon, A.J. Brown or something along those lines. Like, I think maybe that's more the approach.

15:23 I think you should hold back to what you said. I think you are making it more complicated because you want all the pieces in there and you think you're taking advantage of the person. And I think like seven out of 10 times, a person's just going to look at this and be like, no, I'm not going to. OK, I lost my quarterback. I lost Dart. I'm not going to give up all my best players. So I think your best approach is making it smaller. But there are just leagues out there like this. Like there's a lot of people that will just be like they like to swing three for three trades in there. I don't think it's, I think it's fair is the word here. I also agree.

15:55 I don't think the guy accepts it, but I think your best approach is if you're trying to capitalize on him. I like what Erickson said. I like the like golf for AJ Brown. You're buying a piece a little bit later for someone that, you know, is just kind of indifferent to you.

16:07 What about golf and Adams for Saquon and AJ Brown?

16:10 Golf and Adams for what?

16:13 Saquon and AJ Brown.

16:14 I think it's too much.

16:16 You think it's too much?

16:18 Like give up? No, it's to ask for. I don't think he's going to trade Saquon for Adams and Goff alone.

16:25 I mean, AJ Brown's not coming.

16:26 And AJ Brown.

16:27 AJ Brown's injured, so he's not coming back.

16:30 Yeah, give it a try. I don't think it's going to work.

16:31 I mean, Devontae just had a monster game. I mean, this is a typical like, hey, you're trying to sell high on a player. Devontae Adams coming off a career game. So, I mean, Saquon banged up. AJ Brown not scoring points.

16:46 Let's go to Mitch. PPR Superflex. I've got Burrow. Jones and Mariota wide receivers are Chase neighbors, McLaurin more in Devo Arby's or Hampton hall, Jones and Pollard tight ends. You got good kicker. I don't care. I care. Who should I sell? Who would be a good buy? Okay. So this is a big question here. Um, I think you and I have been talking about maybe getting out from McLaurin. The only problem is, is like McLaurin and neighbors are really bad opportunities right now. Um, do you have a guy that you would focus? I think, you know what, actually, I know the answer to this. And it's a guy we were just fricking talking about. And I think you did on a trade thing this week.

17:20 It's Hampton, right? Hampton's kind of your cell, but would you do it based on his RB crew?

17:27 I think so. I mean, Brees Hall is set up pretty well where I don't feel his schedule is really, really good. We talked about worm and I on the trade show, how it's a really good spot and opportunity to buy jets players because they have a lot of really good matchups coming up. So having Hall is good.

17:43 Jones is in a good spot as long as Jordan Mason is banged up. Pollard is kind of trending upward a little bit after a decent performance last week. So in a pinch, he can be serviceable. So in terms of flipping Hampton, he's a player that you could definitely look forward to try to get another wide receiver. Maybe you package Hampton with McLaurin so that McLaurin isn't the focal point of the deal to upgrade at running back or at wide receiver. Because the thing with Terry is he still has the name brand recognition. He's still the wide receiver one on his team. Even if the statistics have not necessarily been there for the first two weeks of the season, check the rest of these rankings. Like he's ahead of Jalen Coker, but so I think that.

18:28 Might be great. I'm by idea. That's my favorite is the upgrade.

18:32 Here's a, here's a pitch Hampton and McLaurin for chase Brown. Yeah.

18:37 I love it.

18:38 Okay. Yeah.

18:40 I'm totally into that because I think, Deebo's got a really good matchup this week, and he can kind of provide you while, theoretically, DJ Moore is maybe out. And when DJ Moore comes back, fantastic wide receiver three. I really like the idea of upgrading my running backs, and I like Chase Brown. I think that's probably a fair trade. So, good job.

18:58 I like it.

18:58 All right, rest of the season, PPR pick one, Chris Bell or Keyshawn Booty?

19:04 I'll go with Keyshawn Booty.

19:07 I want to say Chris Bell bad, but then his usage went down. I'll say booty, but I reserve the right to go back to Chris Bell.

19:16 Ask us next week how we feel. That's how confident we are.

19:20 Yep. Sending wicks for Addison and a third round. Is it a smash?

19:26 I assume this is a dynasty question. I would prefer the Addison and third round pick.

19:31 Yeah. Yeah.

19:32 Very good trade.

19:32 I like that. All right, Austin. What's up, fellas? What's up? Full PPR. Running backs are Gibbs, Montgomery, A-Chan. Quorum wide receivers are London, Tedaroa, Parker Washington, tight end McBride. What RB should I target for and who would you give up? So another one of these. There's no. Hampton here, so you can't give him up. Montgomery's coming off of a really bad game. HN's coming off a bad game. I don't think you've got a lot of juice with your running backs. And the only tight end with juice right now is Parker Washington. So how would you approach this if you were targeting a running back?

20:08 Could you just trade Montgomery and a Chan for Kyron Williams and then just play both Rams running backs every single week and just, and just like whatever. And then you don't sweat it, man. Just like, don't care who scores. Doesn't matter to me. I have both guys. I start both of them every week. And I think that's overwhelming enough of a deal where, Oh, I get Montgomery and a Chan. So it feels like you're kind of overpaying, but there are red flags with both of these players where that's how it gets done. So Montgomery, a Chan for Kyron, and then, a throw in someone else on their roster to make it an even deal. Someone that you like for an upside type of play. I think that's a deal that definitely gets done. And I think

20:46 on paper, it feels like you're probably losing that deal. But I think in terms of having peace of mind, I, I don't necessarily hate having both Rams. I mean, dude, if you can start both Rams running backs every single week, you'd be probably pretty, pretty good.

21:00 Well, you got Gibbs though too. So he doesn't need to start.

21:02 Right. Yeah. That's a good point.

21:04 If you were, just as real quick, if you were to trade one of those wide receivers in an RB trade, who would you, like, if you were to package? I feel like I would say, like, Tedaroa and Montgomery is, like, ideal because London's value's down and Parker Washington's goaded and we can't trade him. You just can't do it. Tedaroa is, like, fine.

21:20 I would maybe look at Tedaroa. Who do you think you could get? That's maybe the question. Tedaroa and Montgomery. What RB do you think I could get?

21:27 Tedaroa and Montgomery for a running back, I would say... I mean, Chase Brown, that's kind of, that's my default guy to go back to because he hasn't popped massively, but all the underlying metrics with him have been pretty strong and he's not facing the Texans or Buccaneers anymore. So I know I talked about how some of these running backs have struggled. Javante Williams, for example, has not been great on an efficiency standpoint against really easy matchups.

21:55 And Chase Brown has been like solid despite, two tougher matches to open the year. The Bengals offense usually doesn't start off the season very well. And the fact that he's kind of been floating above water is really encouraging. Samajai P. Ryan's kind of just doing the same old thing he usually does. Bengals have a really easy schedule for the rest of the season. And if they have positive game scripts, that means Chase Brown, Sisson, delayed, but still very on.

22:18 All right, Tony, Chase, Bowers, Tootin for Cook, Wilson, Zay, and Warren, and Wicks. Good Lord, these trades give me anxiety. So let's assume Jamar Chase.

22:31 Yeah. I mean, that's what I'm going to just assume.

22:34 Bowers and Tootin versus Cook, Garrett, Wilson, Zay, and Warren. What I'm trying to do is I like to do my cross-out game. So if Chase and Cook kind of cross-cancel, kind of, Bowers cross cancels maybe with Zay yes and then you're tooting for Garrett Wilson and Warren so which side do.

22:57 You see but I guess I disagree with Chase and Cook being equal.

23:01 I know and I agree but that's also I think why I come back to like I want the Chase Bowers tootin side I don't want the depth of adding in like.

23:08 It is good or something like Warren and Wicks to your point like they feel like kind of fluff to really like get this deal over the table as because they're not nothing They're interesting pieces, but in terms of you won your fantasy league because you got Jalen Warren and Dontavion Wicks, that's probably not the case here when I look at... I like how you said that.

23:29 I like how you said that. You're like, no one's going to get at the end of the season and be like, man, I won my thing because I got Warren and Wicks.

23:34 Like, I don't think that's the case. Whereas I look at Chase Bowers and Tootin, those guys all have... Again, we obviously from Chase and Bowers, league winning potential, of course, and then Tootin... I think has also been trending in the right direction. He's also a running back to buy low on, I think because he hasn't popped, he hasn't popped yet, but underlying metrics have been good.

23:53 What was that number that I gave? Oh man, on the RB show, I had something good. Now I'm forgetting it.

23:57 It was like force missed tackles. It's pretty high.

23:59 It was, he's number two in force missed tackles. Success rate per attempt. Oh yeah. And then he, oh yeah, that's what it was. Top five in success rate for running backs and number two in force missed tackles per rush attempt. And he hasn't even gone off yet.

24:16 He's good, man. Dude, the little tugboat that could.

24:19 Bashell, 100%. When you guys got those big complicated trades, you can always bring them here. That's what we do here. We answer them.

24:53 And it even supports dynasty trades involving players and picks. Analyze your next deal at fantasypros.com slash analyzer. That's fantasypros.com slash analyzer.

25:05 All right.

25:06 Let's jump into M with the shots at nine Mitchell, Michael Wilson, BTJ rest of season.

25:11 I rank it.

25:12 Wilson, Mitchell, BTJ. That's my rank.

25:17 Yes, I would agree. Oh, okay.

25:18 I thought you were going to do that.

25:20 No, no. Michael Wilson is, has, he's getting the targets and yeah, I'll go with him. Okay.

25:28 Don't be dude. Can we get BTJ for Marvin Harrison? Can we just make that trade happen?

25:34 Please. What? The real life trade.

25:36 Real life trading.

25:36 Oh, yeah, not fantasy.

25:37 Real life. Just get them the hell out of there, dude. You see a report today, too. It was like Cardinal. I think it was Yahoo maybe reported on it that Cardinals are– there's sources inside of places that are saying that the Cardinals might really be entertaining trading Marvin Harrison. It's probably a good idea. Change the scenery.

25:55 It would be dope. Yeah, honestly, trade into the Dolphins, dude. They're going to get Arch next year. It would be great, man.

26:01 Oh, that would be sick. Yeah, I like that. All right, XboxWizard.com. 14-man standard league. I've got Amano St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and Christian Watson. I also have Burden and Loveland. My running backs are Brooks, Kalon Black, and Tyler O'Shea. Who should I target to buy for a cheaper? Well, you have all the cheaper running backs. You need a serviceable, playable running back here. So Lamb, Brown, Watson, Burden, Loveland.

26:26 A lot of people want us to make them RB trades here. This is a rough one.

26:30 You've got to trade one of your receivers for a running back. And I know, I know you, nobody wants to trade away. I'm on our scent or lamb or Watson, but you got to remember, like you get a really good running back back, like be excited. Don't be sad that you lost one of these receivers be excited at, Oh, well now I have James cook or Jonathan Taylor or Derek Henry or one of these types of guys. So that's what you have to do here because that's what you're.

26:54 Doing when you're saying goodbye to CD lamb is I think what you're alluding to is when you, when you say goodbye to CD lamb and you send them off to, you know, to, to have his real life in his college years. And, you know, he leaves the nest, just know that it was better to have owned CD lamb than not, because he's the clear trade here. If you're getting a running back.

27:13 Yes. And what do you say? So lamb for JT, for cook, for Derek Henry, all those guys, that is the right tier. I don't think you can get Walker.

27:23 I don't think you can get the first couple of names that you said, but I'm totally done. We probably go back to your boy, Chase Brown. Um, I think maybe Derek Henry. I think that's the range that you should live in. Would you consider trading lamb for HN? Cause I'm just curious. Is that the lowest you'd even go?

27:40 I'd standard league though.

27:41 I don't like that. Yeah. Go for Derek Henry. Get ready to be rejected.

27:48 I was about to say, I don't think we can get our Derek Henry one in there. That's good. Should I drop Marshawn Lloyd for Adonai Mitchell? Uh, yeah, I would.

27:56 Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

27:58 We down Tate, have Rice at Bucca, Watson, Amonra, and Smith at running back. Sorry, wide receiver at running back. Everyone's weak at running back. All you guys that are just like, zero RB. Now we've got to come to terms with it. Who do I move and what could I get for them? Full PPR, also have Bowers and Langley.

28:16 I'm not sure. I guess I didn't do the trade show last year. I'm not sure I've ever seen more like, what should I do with these players?

28:22 Type of trades people just get antsy they want to make moves.

28:25 Well everybody's running back what's the common denominator of this show today it is people with poor running back depth that are now having to trade the wide receivers that are getting them there for it well it's.

28:37 Just because we told everybody to draft jonathan brooks.

28:41 That's a fair point fair point.

28:44 So this is our fault really um so that's our point help people because again i'm in a lot of spots where i'm like Man, RB2 is burning a hole in my wallet right now.

28:53 Dude, and the Tags League, in the Tags League we have, it's the big fantasy pros league that Erickson and I both, it's the entire company. My second running back is Jonathan Brooks, and I put him on the IR today, but I did have, I drafted Jonah Coleman, so I at least have that, but I'm kind of there with you.

29:08 So I think that we get running back, I would say Rice and Agbuka, you could probably get somebody like Tootin? I think would probably work. Swift would probably work.

29:23 Give me a little bit more. Give me a little bit more and give me something a little bit more.

29:26 Well, the thing is you have to sacrifice the wide receiver talent to get a running back because it's scarce, right? So you've got to go down a tier essentially because you feel like you're taking a loss, but because you knew running back so badly, you have to give up a better, but you're not even playing all these receivers anyway. Like, right.

29:41 Because he has Rice, Igbuka, Watson, Amon, Ross Smith. That means Rice or Igbuka is on his bench every single week anyway.

29:46 Or flexing. I really like trading Rice here, by the way. I don't think Igbuka has popped yet. So that would be the one. And I think Rice has some, some juice. So I would be looking to move him. I don't think Igbuka has the, quite the value. I think you can get more for Rice.

30:00 Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right.

30:02 We're going to have the lightning round it here pretty soon. Just FYI. Cause we still got a lot of guarantees, but we'll still roll in here. Should I pick up valet from waivers? Should I waste my second place in waivers to stash him? He's got a fine wide receivers. Essentially. Would you use the number two waiver claim on valet?

30:18 I don't think so.

30:19 I would do that.

30:19 I would rather do it for something like he's not.

30:22 A Coleman in Boston. Coleman in Boston are the guys that you burned it on.

30:25 You can see him falling off.

30:26 Yeah. Uh, I've got, uh, this is from loud. I've got Denver D pits and Dobbins on bench worth dropping one to pick up a streaming defense. Can I drop Denver to stream weekly or too early to panic?

30:38 I'm just gonna play the Denver defense. Yeah, I think I would. It's not going to worry about it.

30:42 I'm not going to stream like defenses. Jay, I don't know where your question is, but maybe Seth can find it. Uh, Scarface super flex trade, Brissette and a Chan for Jeremiah love and Jawan Johnson.

30:53 I assume that, they feel pretty good about their quarterback spot. So yeah.

30:58 Yeah. I'm down with that.

31:00 Um, you can move quarterback. I like, Oh, love is a buy. Love is another running back. Bye. If you need a buy.

31:05 Yeah. And we're like two more bad losses away from the Cardinals and people screaming about Carson Beck.

31:11 So, you know, that's a good point. Yeah. All right.

31:14 Uh, panic on JD. Should I trade for Dak.

31:18 Panic on G Jane Daniels?

31:21 Well, yeah, you should panic. You, dislocated his elbow it's the.

31:23 Same thing that happened last year and I remember having a show with you Welsh where I talked about do I just drop him now and just like move on with my life.

31:30 That's where I was we were wrong but I completely agree but.

31:33 Then he came back and was bad and then he got hurt anyway so it was like the thing with these guys that get hurt and you're like do I hold them just like make the decision this week like cut bait and move on and be like whatever happens happens but don't be on the fence about like well I'll hold them for two weeks and then if every single week you're like do I drop this guy or do I hold on to this guy? Like, if you're going to have those internal discussions, it's not worth it.

31:56 Guess what? And guess what? Commander's offensive line isn't going to get better as this season goes on.

32:00 That is also true.

32:00 Yeah, it's not going to get any better. So I think you can move on.

32:03 Oh, okay.

32:04 You found Jay's question at the bottom. Here's Jay. Full PPR. I have Tucker Craft, Jason, Brees Hall, Nico Collins, Reminder Stevenson, Jalen Warren, Garrett Wilson, Travis Kelsey to trade with. Would love to have some wide receiver. So you just want us to tell you who to trade. You can't trade.

32:19 I would say trade one of your tight ends for a running back wide receiver. That's the exact move you make because you don't need Kraft and Kelsey. You only need one of those guys.

32:27 Trade Kelsey right now. Also, if you want to wait, he's going to cook. You don't think he's going to cook, but he's going to cook on the Dolphins this week.

32:34 He's still going to be a tight end one. I didn't say he's like Barry, Travis, Kelsey. I just said he may not have as good a game as he did the first two weeks of the season.

32:41 Four horsemen this week at tight end. Four horsemen. All right, Jorge, which trade in 12-team PPR? Herb, Ladd, QJ. There's the chargers for Lawrence, Brees, Hall, or Ladd and QJ for London or Jesus dude, or Ladd Watson or what? You figure out the math problem here. Would you try to trade the entire chargers to get Lawrence and Brees Hall?

33:06 Oh, so no, it's too, it's, oh man, this really is confusing. Okay. So let's break. So Herb, Ladd, QJ for Lawrence and Brees Hall. Yay or nay? Yay. Yay. Okay.

33:16 Yeah.

33:17 All right, Ladd slash QJ for London or Ladd slash Watson. That would be Christian Watson, Ladd, and QJ for London.

33:26 I want London over all of them.

33:29 And then Ladd and Watson or Waddle for Flowers and Kincaid.

33:33 I want Flowers over Waddle.

33:34 Yeah, these are all deals I guess we're like check, check, check.

33:37 Yeah, yeah, sorry. We had to decipher that.

33:39 I get it.

33:39 You need to get your question in, but that red is kind of difficult.

33:42 Do you have a favorite trade of those?

33:45 Um, I feel like I liked the, what was it like trading lad to get London? Like I'll do that.

33:51 Yeah.

33:52 Or QGIF.

33:54 Yeah.

33:55 Layer dude, PPR, Hampton and Schultz or a Bucky, Bucky Irving, Bucky and Loveland.

33:59 I mean, love. Yes. Yep. All right. People are on the Hampton trade train. Let's go.

34:05 Pickings for London or Wilson straight up. Garrett Wilson, assuming.

34:10 Ooh, this one's spicy. I know. Worm talked about Pickens as a sell high on our trade show. I think London and Wilson are teed up really, really well the rest of the season. So I have London, I think, ranked highest the rest of the way. But, I mean, do you have a preference or do you want to keep Pickens?

34:34 I think I would probably... I'd go Pickens right now. I'd go Pickens right now, I think is where I would go with it. So by the way, I need to remind you guys, Super Chats are not guaranteed. Stop putting in Super Chats. We got to do that. We might go a couple of minutes overtime here, but we keep people putting in Super Chats. You do not want to do it. There's like a host of them that are in the non-guaranteed range. We will go into hyper mode here in a second, but do not put any more because I do not want you guys to throw your money in there. Let's roll. But first, let's talk about one last giveaway and then it is lightning round.

Have Loveland. Is trading him for Kincaid crazy in PPR?

35:57 Not crazy, but not doing it.

36:00 Hmm. This one's interesting. Yeah, I think I'm going to... Yeah. Loveland for me.

36:09 I'm going to, yeah. Trade Loveland and Waddle for Devonta Smith and Kraft. Kind of a one for one.

36:19 Feels kind of lateral. Who's the best player in the deal? Is it not Smith?

36:25 It might be Smith. I mean, you could argue equity of draft capital. It might be Loveland, to be honest with you.

36:31 I think I want to take the two guys that are on the ascend, and it's Smith and Kraft.

36:36 I'm down with that.

36:37 I'm totally down with it. Okay.

36:39 Uh, y'all, I got likely Schultz available for tight end flex one, HM, Bucky, Menon guy, neighbors, or the other tight ends. This is full PPR. Ooh, neighbors. I'm speaking for Erickson because Erickson went full neighbors in, uh, in the wide receiver episode, string cheese, man, traded Coker for Lawrence only had Baker and Bryce young. How'd I do boys? Oh, I actually don't mind, mind Bryce young, but, I mean.

37:05 Baker can't, I mean, Stratton Baker can't, he cannot be trusted. He's been bad, really bad.

37:11 I'm definitely on the Coker train here, but I think you got a top 10 quarterback. So I'm down with it.

37:18 You down? Yeah.

37:21 Mr. Ruthless, T-Law, Bucky Irving, Bijan Flowers, Johnson, Smith, Warren, the entire defense, entire team. Made a trade to get Lamar Jackson and Judkins. Traded away Pickens and T-Lob. Be straight up with me. Was this a wise move? So he got Jackson over. Yeah, I think this is good. You got an upgraded quarterback to one of the top guys.

37:44 You traded Pickens for, I think you kind of bought low maybe a little bit on Judkins. So I actually like this trade.

37:50 Yeah, Judkins is my buy low on the trade show. And because he's dirt cheap, someone just messaged me on Instagram saying that they traded Jonah Coleman for Quinch on Judgens. What? They got it done.

38:03 Hell yeah, dude. Send an invite to the league. Mario, would you trade Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, and Travis Kelsey for Prescott, Puka, and Loveland? Sure would. That's me. Yeah.

38:16 Yeah. Hell yeah.

38:17 Hell yeah, brother. Hell yeah, trade brother. Ron, I traded HN and Coker for Bucky. Was this good?

38:24 Yes, it was.

38:26 Also was going to trade scat and waddle for a chant to wide receiver needy team have watson parker and london yeah um yeah i like.

38:34 That too that's those are really good two-for-one trades.

38:37 Make all the good trades dude team right now shuck running backs bijan i'm aaron hampton lloyd you know what we're gonna say as soon as you ask it waddle lad courtland sutton uh there's a defense in here keep bijan or take cook and watson i thought this was going to be like a who would you trade Uh, I don't, I'm not trading Bijan. Is Watson enough to downgrade?

38:59 He doesn't, he only has two receivers that he can actually play. Waddle.

39:04 Yeah, I guess that's true.

39:06 And you're, I mean, look, you're getting, you're getting James Cook. So you're still getting really strong RB one. And then you get Watson who is on the trajectory to be a wide receiver one. So yeah, I mean, dude, you can't keep, I mean, he's starting Carlton Sutton right now. All right.

39:20 So you're going to do it.

39:21 I think so. Yeah. Okay. Grand.

39:24 Waddle and Fannin and getting back Loveland and Watson.

39:28 Yep.

39:28 14 team, full PPR.

39:30 Yeah. Yeah.

39:32 Booty, Fannin. Nico, a sell with a hamstring. Any trade targets? I don't think this is a good time to trade him.

39:38 I mean, it always depends on for what. Could you get his A flowers? Like another guy that's also injured?

39:46 I says I just don't. I hold off. Let him get back. Oh, that's interesting. I would trade Niko for Bowers. But Bowers is going to play this week and Niko.

39:54 Is probably not. I don't know. Schefter poured some cold water on that. Oh, did he? That Bowers is not maybe a lock to play, especially because the Raiders are 2-0. I keep winning. I'm just saying.

40:04 Those are coaches being like, yo, yo, yo.

40:06 I'm just reporting. I mean, he said that Puka wasn't going to play and he was right.

40:09 Beep, boop, beep, boop, beep. Put some cold water in there. We don't know who to play. Got it, boss.

40:14 Break out the ice, baby.

40:15 Yep, Schefter. ice bowers a little bit. That's what happened. Uh, it's okay. Kyler or may this week. Oh, we kind of had a similar ish debate. We, yeah, I, I pressed, listen to the quarterback rank show this week, but I press a lot about may. Um, there's a lot of stuff in here. Kyler rushing upside, overthinking it or team Stroud.

40:35 It's it's may.

40:36 This, this, this, this, this exact message is how every fantasy manager goes through setting their life. They're like, Oh, this, this, and this overthinking it, uh, autopilot. star citizen, save your life.

40:49 Yep.

40:49 Yep.

40:49 I mean, I don't want to be dismissive because I've like, I've had dismissive weeks. Remember the guys like, would you should Drake London week one for Caleb Douglas? I'm like, no. And then obviously he had a good performance. Yeah. Kyler might outperform him, but like, I'm going to stick. And I'm, we, we do shade concerns with Drake May on that episode.

41:06 10 team, a super flex PPR traded shuck for Caleb Williams. Should I trade Warren for Loveland and then bench him this week and start Jawan? And you use Loveland with Caleb.

41:18 Yeah. Yes. I kind of like that. Yeah. I mean, he's got the whole strategy projection ready to go. So betting on the bears bounce back with Caleb.

41:27 I'm just, I mean, and we know Caleb's injury prone now. He better not hurt a finger in hell. Cause you might miss him for two to three weeks. So the fresh drop Quentin Johnston for Jonah Coleman need a fix.

41:38 Yep. Need a flex.

41:41 Flex. Yeah, that's right. That's a L not an eye.

41:43 Yeah. Hopefully Jonah Coleman's injury is not serious.

41:46 But yeah, I thought he was like itching or something. I need a fix. Flex makes a lot more sense in the context of what we do here. Henry T and Hampton or Swift for. Oh, so either one of those running backs for Justin Jefferson, Schultz or Kincaid. So let's this is Jefferson and Kincaid for T. And I would trade T and Swift to get Jefferson and Kincaid for sure. I probably do either one of these, to be honest.

42:12 I'd rather have Kincaid than Schultz, to be clear. Um, and I would rather trade Hampton than Swift.

42:20 But would you do T and Hampton to get Jefferson and Kincaid? Yes.

42:25 All right. Dope.

42:26 We did it. Uh, Jordan Hampton for geez, for what running back in full PPR, uh, RB two is tootin. I mean, I just like, I just want to point out trading running backs for running backs doesn't really work unless you are willing to take the, the hit, like you gotta, you gotta have multi-pieces trade. So what running back? Oh, I don't know someone in the same, but why would someone want to buy Hampton unless they are selling like an underperforming player and they think they're buying low on Hampton?

42:54 You know what I'm saying? So I don't, I just don't think the context of that works.

42:58 I would agree with that. Sometimes the player for player trades, especially the same position are definitely hard to get done. So that's not the tree you should be kind of going up towards, but If you were looking for a deal, look at the rest of the season rankings, find players that are behind Hampton. For example, who would you rather have rest of the season, Brees Hall or Romarian Hampton?

43:19 I would rather have Hampton.

43:21 See, I would rather have Brees. So maybe that's a deal that you can get done, especially because Brees faces the Lions this week.

43:25 Yeah, if you're down with that, dig it. All right, let's go into super hyper mode because we've only got a couple more guaranteed, but I just feel awful. And I think Erickson's down here to not. I want to answer these other ones. So let's grip it and rip it. Who should I play, Stafford or T-Law? And there's a bunch about matchups here. There's some guys on waivers.

43:44 I play Trevor Lawrence.

43:46 Yeah, I would trade Trevor Lawrence as well also. Patriots team is not that great. Trade Nico and Armandre for Kittle, Evans, and Bucky. Kittle, Evans, and Bucky.

43:57 Yes. Yes.

43:59 Had to work that out there for a second. Trade Puka or Collins for a running back. Running backs are K-9, A-Chan, and Montee. um bad time to probably trade both so i would lean.

44:10 Like no i think yeah i would wait wait till they come back like they're gonna come back soon so.

44:15 Is neighbors tradable at this point uh again i think it's a really.

44:18 Bad i would be buying neighbors i have anything like if you're looking for a receiver buy neighbors.

44:23 Yeah but he i think was wanting to sell um i would not sell i this is a bad time let let winston target him 13 times before you sell him and then if you want to move off to it yeah hold Full PPR, Brees Hall, Nico Collins, Ramondre Stevenson, Jalen Warren, Garrett Wilson, Tucker Kraft, Kelsey Saquon, da-da-da. Who would love what? To trade.

44:41 We want to trade one of your tight ends. That's who you, Kraft or Kelsey. That's who you want to trade.

44:45 Do we have this exact same one? How does everyone have Kraft and Kelsey?

44:49 Yeah, I think we did have this question before.

44:50 Yeah, okay.

44:51 Sell Kelsey. Yeah, absolutely. Sell high.

44:53 Traded Cook, McLaurin, and BTJ for H & N, Nico, Adams.

44:58 Wins? If it made your team better, I think it's a win.

45:01 I think it clearly made your team better. He had BTJ and McLaurin. He just put Nico, well, when he was that active. And yeah, that's a good trade.

45:09 Yeah, good job.

45:11 Good job. You got confirmation. Full PPR, David Montgomery and Michael Wilson for Jonathan Taylor. I can't curse on this, but yes.

45:21 The grind doesn't stop. Let's go. Yes.

45:22 100%. The grind doesn't stop. Who can I package Adonai and Vele for in the wide receiver department?

45:32 It's tough to sell waiver wire receivers for anything of substance.

45:38 Totally. Could you trade Adonai for Michael Wilson and maybe Vele and Adonai for Michael Wilson? That's probably the department. You might be better with another big week before you're trying to do it, but Erickson said it was.

45:50 Or if you want to trade for a Bears receiver. like those two for Rome and doomsday and just be like, don't maybe the bears offense bounces back. You know, they're not going to do much this week, but bears receiver. That's probably the angle I would look at with waiver guys.

46:03 Yeah, actually I like that a lot.

46:05 All right.

46:05 A 12 team, two flex PPR trade pickings for waddle or coker.

46:10 I will hold. I'll hold pickings.

46:12 If I did it, it'd be waddle. I guess I would hold with pickings. All right. Two more, three more 10 team PPR. Here's an entire team. Biggest weakness move. There's Bijan Jinty, Price, Harvey. You got neighbors. You have a bunch of injured wide receivers. Any recommendations? I actually think you hold with this team. You got really good running backs with high upside. You have unrealized wide receivers, I guess, in neighbors and downs. And you got a great tight end. I would do nothing with this. And he's got A.J. Brown on the IR.

46:43 Same. Stay pat.

46:45 Stay with it. Trade Stafford for Tootin.

46:49 Yes.

46:50 Abso-freaking-lutely. 12-man PPRs start three wide receivers and two flex. Would you trade Emeka and Corum for Adams, Goff, and Menangai?

46:59 I have a Munrah. You already have two other quarterbacks with Kyler and Love, so I'm going to say negative Ghost Rider.

47:07 I'm also going to. And then Mario's a sneak getting this in last minute, but we'll do it. Goff, Lawrence, worthy. Who should I start for week three?

47:17 So you're starting Goff probably right over Lawrence. Goff. Against the Jets.

47:22 You don't have any options at running back. So you start them.

47:25 Receiver, you're starting Parker Washington. And you're starting. And Nico, if he's in, we'll see if he plays. If he's not in, it would be.

47:34 Lad.

47:35 Not Lad. Yeah. So Lad would be then in. Running back, you're going to start Gibbs, obviously.

47:41 Gibbs and Skadaboo. And then you just have a... Is there no tight end?

47:46 I guess a flex.

47:47 Bowers.

47:48 Yeah, flex. And then if Bowers doesn't play, it's Kittle. There you go.

47:51 All right, you sneaked that in, but we got you. We got every dang one in. We went over a little bit. And that's why what you guys need to do is go show some love and respect over to our boy... Matt Modai, who I believe is over on twitch.tv slash fantasy pros. Is it right now, Seth, or is it coming up here in a couple of minutes? No, it's coming up in four minutes at four. Oh, I'm a liar.
