spk_0 This is an I Heart Podcast.
spk_0 From NBA Champion Steph and Curry comes, shot ready.
spk_0 A powerful, never-before-seen look at the mindset that changed the game.
spk_0 I fell in love with the grind.
spk_0 You have to find joy in the work you do when no one else is around.
spk_0 Success is not an accident.
spk_0 I'm passing the ball to you.
spk_0 Let's go.
spk_0 Steph Curry redefined basketball.
spk_0 Now he's rewriting what it means to succeed.
spk_0 Order your copy of the New York Times bestseller, shot ready today at Steph and Currybook.com.
spk_0 Welcome back everybody.
spk_0 It is double coverage.
spk_0 The Dynasty Fantasy football show on the Fantasy Pros Discord.
spk_0 I'm your host Scott Bogman.
spk_0 Follow me on the Twitter app,
spk_0 Bogman Sports.
spk_0 I'm joined as always by Pat Fitzmores at Fitz underscore FF.
spk_0 Fitzsy a couple weeks into the season.
spk_0 We have some movement in shaken.
spk_0 I don't typically change my Dynasty rankings until the first month is over.
spk_0 I know some guys are going to start slow,
spk_0 specifically rookies.
spk_0 And we've seen that with running backs.
spk_0 What is your biggest change in opinion only two weeks in so far?
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 You know, Bog's I know the rookie running backs have started slowly.
spk_0 But I'm not panicking on any of them.
spk_0 Rookie running backs still historically a very good investment.
spk_0 I think Gen T and Hampton are going to be just fine.
spk_0 I think Henderson's going to be just fine.
spk_0 Harvey, a little annoying that he's playing like 30% of the snaps or fewer.
spk_0 He'll be okay to.
spk_0 But one guy I'm worried about is Caleb Johnson.
spk_0 And the fact that he was third in the packing order.
spk_0 Even before that colossal mistake on the kickoff that basically cost your
spk_0 Steelers that game.
spk_0 Unsundead.
spk_0 I mean, they might have lost the game anyway,
spk_0 but they were right there.
spk_0 And they go from go from being down three to being down 10.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Early in the fourth quarter.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 When you against a good defense with your offense kind of struggling a bit.
spk_0 So, um,
spk_0 like that's not going to help move him up the depth chart at all.
spk_0 Obviously.
spk_0 And I wonder when they're going to feel confident enough in him to give him meaningful touches.
spk_0 It seems like it could be a while.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 I mean, specifically, uh, you know, just that when you make a mistake,
spk_0 Tomlin will punish you.
spk_0 And I when asked about him today,
spk_0 they said, are you going to still have Caleb on kickoffs?
spk_0 And he said probably not.
spk_0 So, uh, I, you know, you're not going to get on the field making boneheaded mistakes like
spk_0 that.
spk_0 Absolutely.
spk_0 I would agree with you.
spk_0 That's like probably the biggest change in opinion that I have so far is Caleb.
spk_0 It's specifically among the rookies.
spk_0 But, uh, yeah.
spk_0 I mean, not, but I think the point is is we don't need to overreact to a lot of these
spk_0 annoying things quite yet.
spk_0 Because I mean, look, it took one whole week for Cam Skatibout to take over in New York, right?
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 I mean, maybe we're feeling best about him.
spk_0 A van Hither rookie running backs.
spk_0 You know, and this is Ben, your guy all along bogs.
spk_0 But, um, well, I'm not going to take a victory lap yet.
spk_0 But, you know,
spk_0 four or five more weeks of this of him way over Tracy, I will.
spk_0 But not one week, you know what I mean?
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 But he's in a good spot now.
spk_0 I mean, it looks like he has, uh, he has seized the backfield.
spk_0 Is there anything else that kind of stands out to you?
spk_0 One thing I was thinking about is just, um, you know, we all off season, we figured this
spk_0 Eagles offense was going to be a war machine.
spk_0 And it's kind of underwhelmed us through two weeks.
spk_0 And I just wonder if
spk_0 Kevin Patullo is, is going to let us down as a play collar.
spk_0 I think, um, I'm with you.
spk_0 Like I definitely have concerns.
spk_0 But I'll say this, you face a familiar division opponent week one, right?
spk_0 And then the chief week two.
spk_0 That's not the easiest schedule.
spk_0 So I'll give a little leniency, but it it, you are right.
spk_0 And that is absolutely something we need to be paying attention to.
spk_0 So,
spk_0 I'm there.
spk_0 Yeah, just, seems like we just haven't seen a lot of motion or play action or anything
spk_0 to get us, you know, like some of the little key codes for offensive play callers that
spk_0 generally are plus EV.
spk_0 And we have not seen a lot of that out of Patullo.
spk_0 So, um, yeah, I mean, I hope so because I'm pretty heavily invested in the Eagles this year,
spk_0 at least in their passing game.
spk_0 So, um, these AJ Brown bogs, I, in our, it's not a dynasty league,
spk_0 and whenever I play you head to head, I just get crushed.
spk_0 Like you just have owned me in our lifetime series, no matter what it was.
spk_0 I start with that great game against you and our, our content league with, uh, Tucker Kraft.
spk_0 And then like I've got the Jalen Hertz AJ Brown combination against you.
spk_0 And I just lay an egg on Sunday and you beat me again.
spk_0 Yeah, I haven't won a game in our RS.
spk_0 So league yet, I think I might have played you week one and you got me in that one.
spk_0 Um, but yeah, it's been a miserable start for me and that one, uh,
spk_0 flex, I'm doing okay and I'm doing way better.
spk_0 I'm doing my good teams are really good right now.
spk_0 So that, that's been positive.
spk_0 But we'll see if that lasts all year, you know what I mean?
spk_0 No, can't count your chickens in week two.
spk_0 I'll tell you that much.
spk_0 But, uh, yeah, let's get to answer some questions here.
spk_0 I want to start with game overs because he has been in here in the chat waiting for us to
spk_0 answer this one for a while.
spk_0 And it's a trade proposal.
spk_0 So he says one side is getting its Tyler Warren Troy Franklin,
spk_0 Trevian Henderson.
spk_0 And the other side is Mark Andrews, Evan Ingram, Ashen Gentie, Jacoby Myers,
spk_0 and a 2026 third ground pick.
spk_0 So this is a pretty major trade.
spk_0 And I guess I missed the first round pick.
spk_0 So it's Warren Franklin Henderson.
spk_0 First for Andrews Ingram, Gentie Myers in a third.
spk_0 You know, it's, I think it's pretty fair.
spk_0 Although I'm certainly not freaked out about Gentie,
spk_0 I would say that I might prefer the Tyler Warren,
spk_0 Trevian Henderson, Troy Franklin, first round pick,
spk_0 side of it.
spk_0 I do too.
spk_0 Yeah, I mean, I just, I think Henderson's going to be good too.
spk_0 Um, yes, Gentie better than Henderson.
spk_0 And maybe he turns out to be levels better.
spk_0 But Warren looks like he is going to be a top three tight end for a long, long time.
spk_0 He just looks fantastic.
spk_0 Franklin is showing us something.
spk_0 And although Boggs, I'm starting to worry that the 2026 draft class is going to be just a
spk_0 complete dud.
spk_0 Is these quarterbacks?
spk_0 I mean, like quarterback was supposed to be the strength of like, oh, gosh.
spk_0 Clube Nick, Nussmeyer, like, oh, yeah.
spk_0 And so, um, let's fill that first.
spk_0 We're going to like someone from this class.
spk_0 We're going to find someone to like, we're going to find at least 10 guys we like in this class.
spk_0 So, um, yeah, kind of, I kind of like, um, the Warren,
spk_0 Trevian Henderson, Troy Franklin, first round pick, side, rather than Gentie,
spk_0 Andrews Ingram, Myers in a third.
spk_0 Yeah, I'm, I'm with you.
spk_0 One more before we get to the people with their hands raised here.
spk_0 We have Trev. He says, I'm here to have one question answer.
spk_0 I've received an offer in dynasty of BTJ for my Rashee rice, Javante Williams.
spk_0 Two weeks ago, I would have smashed and tried so hard to get BTJ in the office season.
spk_0 But now he looks bad. Trevor Lawrence looks bad.
spk_0 They're throwing it to 100. Javante is balling and rice could fix the chiefs.
spk_0 So, obviously, this is a nice, by the way, Trev, perfectly frame this question for dynasty.
spk_0 So, I, I think I still want Brian Thomas in this. I know Javante's look good.
spk_0 I'm Xavier Worthy's hurt for the chiefs.
spk_0 I still think BTJ is the best player in this trade by a wide margin,
spk_0 even though he hasn't looked good for the first two weeks.
spk_0 Are you, are you in agreement there? Do you disagree?
spk_0 The thing is, Boggs, like let's say, let's just pretend that Rashee rice suspension
spk_0 were two games instead of three. Like if, if Rashee rice were coming back to the chiefs this week,
spk_0 I'm not so sure I wouldn't have him ranked right, right there with BTJ.
spk_0 That's the only thing. I
spk_0 think it's, I think it's really close.
spk_0 If you, those guys are close, then Javante has a kicker.
spk_0 That one, that's good. I don't particularly think they're close.
spk_0 Yeah, it's just, it's weird. And I know, like, you just wish BTJ had the same sort of chemistry
spk_0 with Trevor Lawrence that he had with Mac Jones last year.
spk_0 But like, I'm not, I'm not going to worry. This does, this does almost feel like that pre-season
spk_0 where Jamar Chase was dropping balls. People were making a big deal out of it. Like, it's been a
spk_0 bad start for Brian Thomas Jr., but was there anything about his 2024 season that
spk_0 didn't look completely legitimate? So yeah, I'm right on the fence with this one, Trev.
spk_0 I think it's a really fair and really fascinating offer. And, you know, I'm not opposed to taking it
spk_0 if you could use the running back help and if you can afford to wait for Rishi Rice.
spk_0 I think either accepting or not accepting this, either one I think is okay. I think it's a pretty
spk_0 fair, interesting and balanced deal. Yes. Yeah, yeah. If you really need a running back,
spk_0 now I'm good with this. But if the goal is just to get Brian Thomas Jr., you've been waiting
spk_0 for it. And you can do this one. I pull the trigger on it. So that's where we are on that one.
spk_0 Great questions to start this. I love it. Let's go. Well, actually real quick. I think
spk_0 probably yeah. Okay. Before we get to the colors here, let me tell you guys about reality sports
spk_0 online. By now, most of you probably heard a reality sports online. The powerful fantasy sports
spk_0 platform or owners get to build and manage their fantasy team like an NFL general manager. But
spk_0 the question is, have you tried it? It's time to go see what all the buzz in the dynasty community
spk_0 is about free agency, multi-year contracts, a rookie draft, multi-team trades, franchise tags,
spk_0 contract extensions, first round rookie options, automated contract and salary cap functionality
spk_0 and much, much more. If you think it sounds complicated, it's not the best thing about reality
spk_0 sports online fantasy front office is that it doesn't take any more time than a standard league.
spk_0 It just requires more strategy. If you think you're among the fantasy elite, this is the platform
spk_0 to test your metal. If you're still not sure, you can test your general manager skills for free,
spk_0 FR-W-E and a mock-free agency auction. If you like what you see, use promo code fantasy pros to

spk_0 All right, Fitsy. Let's talk to Josh. Josh, you are up first. My friend. What do you got for us?
spk_0 Um, looks like it's a little bit difficult. Yeah. All right. I will move you to the audience and
spk_0 just raise your hand again once you get it figured out. My friend. Hoki, what do you got for us?
spk_0 Hoki, what's up, man? Absolutely. Four will call it football team, but we'll leave that for another
spk_0 night. Glad they made a change of glad they made a change. Me too. It's the only reason I'm going to
spk_0 the game this Saturday. I got to witness the last two in person and that was, it was bad,
spk_0 but we'll waste the time. We'll waste more time with that. So kind of looking for some general
spk_0 advice on moves I should make a few players on ask you guys about. So I dropped my team in the chat.
spk_0 First question. I tried to do this quick for sake of everybody else to say,
spk_0 AR, is it finally time to move on? You can. Daniel Jones looks so good. You can like if you
spk_0 make a roster spot, you can. He ain't gonna, he's not going to be playing this year anyway.
spk_0 And I doubt him. Yeah, unless there's an entry to Daniel Jones unless he just falls flat on his face
spk_0 for like a month straight, but there's a long runway that's been built up for Daniel.
spk_0 Jones, I mean, he did it against the Broncos. Yeah. And this is this is this is a one QB, right?
spk_0 Okay. It is. Yes. Yeah. So in one QB, yeah, I agree. I got I got cam ward and you know, for long
spk_0 term, and he's lit decent, not spectacular, but decent as a rookie. I got nicks as well. He's young.
spk_0 So I feel okay with those with those guys and back back for this year. So okay, cool. I can free up.
spk_0 That's what I was thinking. Um, players just kind of general concerns. I already mentioned one of
spk_0 them. BTJ. I've got I got Henderson and BTJ both a little disappointing at the moment, but again,
spk_0 sound like you guys are super concerned about either one of them. No, I mean, I think Henderson pops
spk_0 off this week against the Steelers. They'd love to give a big plays and have not been able to stop
spk_0 the run so far. So I think he pops off this weekend. And I think BTJ is just getting settled into a new
spk_0 system, right? Uh, it's a new system under Liam Cohen. So I think once they figure out
spk_0 his role here, he will be going crazy. And he still had 12 targets in this game.
spk_0 Right. Exactly. That was the encouraging thing. It didn't didn't catch much, but he had a lot
spk_0 of balls come his way. Um, the other way I'll play, I want to ask you as about, uh, given the the
spk_0 backs I have, Hayley Brown and Henderson. Should I give him his usage up until the first two
spk_0 weeks? Should I be looking to possibly move Jordan Mason for another receiver? And now I see
spk_0 in the chat here that, uh, Aaron Jones just went on our, um, so that changes, probably changes,
spk_0 based on patients value pretty significantly. Yeah. So you're, you're asking, should you move Mason
spk_0 now? Is that the question? Yeah, that's kind of, that's what I'm thinking. I was thinking about it
spk_0 beforehand. Um, I think it's a great time to move him, right? Fits. I mean, this is peak values.
spk_0 Has to be right. Yeah. I mean, if you're not trying to get into the playoffs and win this year,
spk_0 but I actually hope and I can now, you know, my team has been a bit disappointing so far, but, uh,
spk_0 12 team league, I think I'm six than overall scoring, but I've, it unlike other years, I've
spk_0 actually managed to win the 50-50. So I'm doing up. I know. While looking at your roster here,
spk_0 it's Taylor Brown, Henderson, Mason at four, then white spears, and it's a bunch of, you know,
spk_0 nobody. I got the gas in the green or the players that are available. I just, uh, I would, um,
spk_0 I think in most scenarios, I'm holding on to Mason with this squad because, like, your wide
spk_0 receivers are good. You have BTJ, Garrett Wilson, Pierce, Allen Hunter, and Jennings, and Rashid,
spk_0 and Shaheed, like, I think you're doing fine. So I think the middle line want to keep Mason on this
spk_0 squad, but, uh, you know, at least float him and see what kind of offers you get.
spk_0 I don't, uh, I don't have Jennings yet. Somebody dropped him before this week and, uh,
spk_0 you know, I'm a little concerned. How about how he, you know, he had a really good game. I'm a big
spk_0 concern. How that may affect Pierce Allen. So I was thinking about trying to snag him. And that's
spk_0 one of the reasons I was asking you about, you know, dropping AR or the extra defense is trying to,
spk_0 try to go after Jennings and, yeah, extra deep. See other every time. I mean, it's the other,
spk_0 right. It was not a 16 man league. Just grab a defense every week. I'm good streaming defenses. So,
spk_0 so, uh, final question. I managed to pick up, uh, Joanne Johnson last week. Didn't play him,
spk_0 but I probably will be at least the point forward here. Uh, I picked up Hunter Henry sort of as
spk_0 the balance to King Cade, hoping King Cade long term, but I sort of feels like to me,
spk_0 one tied in. Do I need to keep and rate this point? Nope. I, I mean, Joanne Johnson is playing like a 97%
spk_0 snap share. He's gonna be the target leader when Olawe goes away eventually. And they're gonna be
spk_0 playing from behind the third and fourth quarter, uh, for the, at least this year and probably next
spk_0 year as well. So yeah, I'm, I like Joanne Johnson, right, Fitsy? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. You,
spk_0 you have way more confidence in Joanne Johnson than I do. I mean, like, I was looking at this the
spk_0 other day. His best season was 2022. And he had like 570 yards and seven touchdowns.
spk_0 Three tight ends there, though. They had to take some hill and foster. They did. And maybe,
spk_0 maybe that was it. But his, his target share that year was like 13.3%. He's a double that
spk_0 right now. I just, and like, that was that 2022 season was when they had like Andy Dalton and
spk_0 James Winston. I almost feel like, you know, like, how is it working with Spencer Ratler? And it
spk_0 didn't work with those guys. Is it just that those guys knew better? They knew it was like negative
spk_0 EV to throw to Joanne Johnson and Spencer Ratler. Doesn't know any better. Wow. I mean, I just, like,
spk_0 I just hate her. We never make five seasons. And we, I was, I was feeling pretty good about
spk_0 Joanne. And it's just, yeah, I mean, it's just a five year career. Sure. But I'm sorry.
spk_0 I was just going to say a five year career. He's never given us a stay in fantasy value before
spk_0 or now. And I doubt he's going to do so with Spencer Ratler. Is this cool? What are you okay,
spk_0 dumping Hunter Henry and just having John. Yeah. Yeah, especially
spk_0 Henry's older and Drake May just kind of throws to the open guy. So yeah, you're not going to
spk_0 miss anything with Henry. I'm fine with that for this year.
spk_0 Change was made. Mason. I was thinking about improving it while I received it. But now I'm kind
spk_0 of thinking about based on this conversation. Maybe I packaged Mason and Joanne's and then
spk_0 significantly upgrade myself. It tied in. Not a bad idea. I like that idea. Yeah. So I might
spk_0 explore that possibility. Thanks guys. Appreciate that. Okay. Take it easy. Thanks. Okay.
spk_0 Let's see. Do we have? Okay. Josh is back. Josh, what do you got for us?
spk_0 You are back. Still shows you muted. Can you hear me now? We got you. There we go. What's up?
spk_0 Well, perfect. Yeah. So sorry. I don't know why it's randomly would mute you guys.
spk_0 And I figured out what was happening. So thank you so much. Got you. What do you got for us?
spk_0 So I'm kind of in this weird transition period where I'm trying to figure out I don't think I'm
spk_0 contending, but I'm in that awkward like middle section. And I was kind of wondering like I'm
spk_0 thinking about maybe doing a side of Jalen Hertz in Lamar. And I was wondering if it would be
spk_0 worth it to try and go like a downgrade a little bit on QB. We're in a 12 team super flex.
spk_0 And what the value would be for like a Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hertz in your opinion.
spk_0 So, okay. So we're downgrading. Are we fixing an issue at wide receiver running back?
spk_0 Is what a running back super week and running backs. I have Harvey and I have a Kenneth Walker.
spk_0 Okay. What do you think, Fitsy? Are you trying to sell? Because it is selling Hertz low.
spk_0 But Lamar has, you know, he has six passing touchdowns already. You're selling Lamar high. So,
spk_0 are you are you willing to sell one of the these guys Fitsy between Lamar and Hertz and if so,
spk_0 which one? Yeah. I mean, if someone it really, I mean, this is sort of a wishy washi answer here.
spk_0 It really depends on the sort of return you can get Josh like, I mean, someone would really have to
spk_0 heal me at running back for me to want to trade away Lamar Jackson. Know what I mean? Like, I
spk_0 would have to be getting a major rainmaker at the position for me to want to consider.
spk_0 What if you get like both Colts guys, Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones, you doing that? Yeah.
spk_0 No, no, you can't you you are not convinced on Daniel Jones at all. No, I absolutely not. So like,
spk_0 let's say, let's say you were trading away Lamar Jackson and getting back like, Oh,
spk_0 Nix. I would also want someone at least for Bo Nix, the caliber of like, I think I'd want like
spk_0 maybe even more than like Kenneth Walker. Know what I mean? Like, I would want, yeah.
spk_0 I don't know, Bo Nix plus, what do you think? Bogs? What would close?
spk_0 Or something or more than that, man. I mean, like, I think a lot of Walker. Yeah, like a Bucky and Bo Nix
spk_0 or Lamar, I think would be pretty fair. And I don't even really close in a super flex keeper, man. I
spk_0 don't I don't I don't want to I don't want to trade these Cubies and dynasty. I'd be more willing to
spk_0 trade Hertz, but I'm not selling low. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, it's too low right now.
spk_0 People like give the respect to them. Right. So I would maybe wait for Hertz to pop off a couple
spk_0 of weeks in a row and then try to do a deal to, to hear this running back. But I understand wanting
spk_0 to get somebody, but you know, having these two guys in a super flex line, I see is the strength of
spk_0 your team. So I don't want to sell the strong. Yeah, that's the kind of the issue. So, um, that's
spk_0 fair. And I do, I do have two first round picks. How much do you think a next year's first
spk_0 round pick would be worth for like a running back? Like, and one of them looks like it's going to
spk_0 be a higher end pick. Like, how much would you be willing to like give up or receive for that,
spk_0 to give away that first round pick? What do you think, Fitz? Would you rather do that deal where it's
spk_0 nix and Bucky and you trade Lamar? Would you rather like trade two first and one of those running
spk_0 backs and get Bucky back, something like that? I mean, I would trade, I think I'd trade the
spk_0 lower of the two first for Kenneth Walker. It now, okay. I think he said he has Walker. But
spk_0 I have a walker. Oh, you have Walker. Okay. I'm trying to think of what would be a, like,
spk_0 when you trade that, what's your thoughts on Jordan Mason? There's one guy I'm like in talks with
spk_0 for Jordan Mason. It have to be. He's worth the low first probably. I don't know about that
spk_0 box. The only thing about Mason is like, he's, he has no past catching value whatsoever. And that
spk_0 kind of hurts him in the big more man and dynasty is PPR. That's true. It is usually. Yeah. But I'd
spk_0 say like with this class being as weak as it looks, Fitz, a low first round pick to get Mason to
spk_0 kind of carry you until, did you say you had a rookie that's struggling right now, Josh?
spk_0 I have RJ Harvey, who's like, obviously not doing the best. So you trade a low end first. You
spk_0 get Mason. Mason's going to be used a lot with McCarthy down and Jones down. You know, you are
spk_0 filling a hole. And that is a first round pick that you're filling a hole with. But it probably crosses
spk_0 you until Harvey picks it up. And I think Walker and Charbonne are going to trade off. I think that's
spk_0 going to be hot hand. So it solves a problem. And it doesn't cost you that high end first.
spk_0 But it is you are overpaying. But once you get to the point where all you need is running back,
spk_0 typically you do have to overpay. Am I right on that, Fitz? You are. Yeah. And um,
spk_0 what about, I don't know if Christian McCaffrey isn't on a contender,
spk_0 might be worth seeing if they would take the Hurley or strong pick for him. Yeah. Yeah.
spk_0 Yeah. I if you get CMC, uh, I'm, I'm fine doing that specifically, just like pushing your chips in.
spk_0 I mean, overall, I'm not a CMC guy. So I don't want to trade for him personally. But like that
spk_0 deal is unfair. So the mid first for breeze hall, that's another one that strikes me as kind of
spk_0 fair. I would do that one way over that CMC one to me. Okay. That's that makes sense.
spk_0 No, that's it. Thank you so much, guys. I really appreciate it. You got it. Thanks man.
spk_0 Good luck. I'm Dan. He's Thai. Hello. And we're the Solid Verbal College Football Podcast.

spk_0 of all the chaos and of course celebrate the madness. Tune in for previews, recaps, bids you
spk_0 won't hear anywhere else in all the emotional support you need as a college football fan.
spk_0 We don't just love college football Thai. We live it. Listen to the Solid Verbal College football
spk_0 podcasts on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
spk_0 All right. We got franchise. Here comes trouble. What's up franchise? Looks like you're muted.
spk_0 It was going on fellas. What's up? Man, how you doing? Doing all right. Well,
spk_0 actually prior to the worst week in fantasy football I've had in a while. So I'll go ahead and
spk_0 hit my question up with you. So my quarterbacks in the Super Flex League are Jaden Daniels,
spk_0 Block Purtie and Joe Burrow. Oh my gosh. Yeah, exactly. And uh, it's a league full of sharks. So
spk_0 the only guys on the waivers are Wince Taylor and Mary Oda. So the question I guess I have is
spk_0 well, a two-par question. What percentage of fab would you spend on those guys?
spk_0 And then the other thing I'm thinking is, um, if I can only get one of them, I have Warren and
spk_0 Bowers as my tie-ins and this is a tight-end premium league where they actually get one point above
spk_0 um, the receivers. So for example, both of those guys are averaging 16 points,
spk_0 which puts them at like QB 14 in this league. So I didn't know if I should try to go get two of
spk_0 those quarterbacks or just try to get one of them, which one and then just put the other tie-in
spk_0 in the Super Flex spot until you know, Purtie and Daniels come back. So get one more time. It's
spk_0 Wince and who else is on the wire? Wince, uh, it's Mary Oda. And Mary Oda.
spk_0 I would prioritize Mary Oda. He offers, he offers some rushing upside. Um, and like he actually
spk_0 played pretty well the last time we saw him. Yeah, he did. Yeah. And I,
spk_0 in question, when just showed up to Minnesota, right? Now we see Josh Dobbs go there and just show up
spk_0 and have some success. So it's not a crazy thought. Uh, but I would order them. Mary Oda
spk_0 Wince and then because I only think Tyrod Taylor is going to play for a week, even if he does play.
spk_0 So because Justin Fields is like 50 50 for this. Right. So uh, yeah, it would be Mary Oda Wince.
spk_0 I don't know though, Fitsy because Jane Daniels, uh, how much time did they say he's going to miss
spk_0 just this week, right? They haven't said we don't even know if he's going to miss.
spk_0 He might not miss him. He might not miss any time. And maybe it has to be
spk_0 Wince just because he's for sure going to play the next couple of weeks. But
spk_0 well, but I mean, he just needs a replacement for Daniels. Boggs. Once Daniels comes back,
spk_0 he's fine in that spot. And then he can, right, you're right. And then he can play one of his tight ends
spk_0 in that, um, and the super stack until until party comes back. Yeah. And with the tight end,
spk_0 with the tight end premium, I think that's that's okay. Like I think I'd rather play one of those
spk_0 tight ends than Carson Wince anyway. Yes. The tight end premium. So I don't know. So this is a
spk_0 dynasty. Like I am never, I just in one of, I put in a free agent claim for, um, big browning,
spk_0 the league where he's available. And I bet 840 of my thousand dollars. Oh man. Because why not?
spk_0 It's it's dying like, but dynasty. It's usually tumbleweeds on the waiver wire anyway. Yeah.
spk_0 You know what I mean, franchise. So like, basically the other guys, I mean, most of the time when
spk_0 I'm shopping, I'm like, maybe getting some guy that no one else is even claiming that week.
spk_0 So I've got a thousand dollars to spend. I like Chris Brooks on the Packers. Like I think he's
spk_0 a hidden gem. I could get Chris Brooks for a dollar in most of my dynasty, Wigs. Why is he
spk_0 getting every pass by the way out of the backfield? Chris Brooks. He's good man. He's good. So
spk_0 is Jacobs. He's sneaky. Good. I know, man. It is kind of weird. But bugs. I would say. So
spk_0 franchise. Yeah. I'd say like, you need a man. I'd say 900 or something. Like you're, I know
spk_0 what your team looks like. And it's good. You're not going to need anything off waivers. You might as
spk_0 well. What are you saving it for man? Blow it up. Yeah. I was thinking, I was thinking 500 or more,
spk_0 like spend 50% of it. And I know, like, I'm not good man. Yeah. I might do that because the other
spk_0 guys and the leagues are already putting a group chat to not bail me out because I'm the, whatever.
spk_0 They basically, well, I'm the defending champion in Empire League. So if they bail me out and I win,
spk_0 the league gets exploded. So they're like, we're not, we're not helping you. I see it. I mean,
spk_0 I almost say like shoving all the chips then at that point. Yeah. Cause I was thinking, I was
spk_0 thinking, Mary, you're the cause then if Jayden does go down again, I have his backup and I only
spk_0 have Purdy as the other quarterback, because burrows out for the season, basically. Yep. And
spk_0 Purdy shouldn't be out long. Like I think, I think Purdy messes like maybe one or two games more
spk_0 tops. Yeah. Cut that toe off and get your ass back out there. That's what we say to Joe. Come on.
spk_0 That's what that's what that's what that's what 42 would do.
spk_0 Ryan Larker to finger loss. You can cut a toe off. That's right. Thank you, Fran.
spk_0 Son. I'm all in favor going all in franchise. Go on. I'm going to do it. Push the chips in. Let's go.
spk_0 Thank you. Before we move on here, let me tell you guys about the discord.

spk_0 and be on the show at fantasy pros.com slash chat. All right, Fitsie. We got more questions here. Sam.
spk_0 What is up, my friend? What's going on? Sam?
spk_0 How you guys doing? Doing great. What's going on?
spk_0 Up to him. First time I'm guys the season. Honestly, this isn't a die. I don't have any
spk_0 dynasty weeks going that I need any questions for at the moment, but I was just wondering if I
spk_0 could ask something about tonight because my most important league is kind of indiserate.
spk_0 Sure. I'm doing a super flex. It's my home league. I have Brock Perty, Russell Wilson, and
spk_0 Bryce as my young as my QBs. So I'm in a little bit of trouble there. And obviously I have a few
spk_0 people on WaveWire, Browning, Wenz, Mariotta, Tyra Taylor all there. I just don't know what I
spk_0 should prioritize if I should go all in on Jake Browning or what? Yeah, that's what I would do.
spk_0 If there's nothing else on the wire, you probably not can be able to get a good trade done. I would
spk_0 push my chips in on Browning just like we heard Fitsie talking about Mariotta. Are you with me on
spk_0 aggressive move? Because you'll be okay. One spot when Perty comes back, but that other spot with
spk_0 Yong and Wilson is looking weak. Wilson probably isn't going to be there for the long haul. So
spk_0 yeah, knowing that Browning's pretty much going to be their guy for the duration. And knowing that he,
spk_0 I just, someone was rattling up. I can manage my bench. So you guys understand, I don't really have
spk_0 been each dropable players. Like I have Scataboo, I have Samson, I have Jackson Dart, I have Alec, I Amora,
spk_0 and like Michael Mayer, which he's the guy I'm going to drop if I pick anybody up and then
spk_0 spears in my IR. So like, I don't really have anything dropable and I'm not really looking to
spk_0 pick anything up on WaveWire but a QB. So I feel like it's kind of the right time of the year.
spk_0 I don't really find that I'm going to find a QB1 or a QB2 on a WaveWire again. Yeah.
spk_0 Big move for him, drop mayor. I mean, like a big. I was, I put a hundred. I put on everything.
spk_0 Okay. Yeah. I mean, if your bench is great, so you're not going to use that spot again, you're
spk_0 going to get, you know, the bangles quarterback from most of the season. And you know, nothing changes.
spk_0 Like Jake, Jake Browning being in the quarterback, he's still going to have to pass the ball a lot.
spk_0 That defense sucks. So I'm with you on that one. Sam, I think that's right. Is your,
spk_0 is your league allowed zero dollar bids? Yes, they do. But I already know that there's going to be like
spk_0 there's people, there's a few people who are in quarterback trouble that don't have backups.
spk_0 Like, they're, they're going to be on the wire like men, men, men, men, men's is going to get picked
spk_0 up. Mary, Oda's going to get picked up. Maybe Tyra Taylor is, is there or Mary, Oda gets left,
spk_0 but I have bids in for both of them in case Browning doesn't go through. Gotcha. Yep. All in, man.
spk_0 Yeah. Sounds good. Go out of not crazy. I'll talk to you guys. See you, Sam. Take it easy, man.
spk_0 Sure, Sam. Let's see who we got next. We have CFC. What's up? CFC? What are we going? What are we got going?
spk_0 There it is. How's it going guys? Good. How are you doing? Well,
spk_0 well, first one to start by thanking Fitz for nudging me over the edge on Sunday morning at the last
spk_0 minute. So I traded away a 26 first, 27 second and Justin Fields. And I got back Tremac,
spk_0 Bride and Jalen Warren. So good looking start so far, but appreciate that, Fitz. Yeah.
spk_0 It is a heavy price to pay, but probably worth it, ultimately. I think so. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
spk_0 And I just sent my roster in the chat here. So definitely still need a running back. And
spk_0 curious how you would prioritize some potential deals I'm thinking about. So one option would be
spk_0 sending Loveland and a contenders 26 first for Ashton Gentie. Or using that same 26 first to try and get
spk_0 Breeze Hall or potentially target someone else. Not sure how much more I need to add on top. And
spk_0 any of those scenarios, but kind of the general foundation I'm starting from there. So what do you
spk_0 think the cost might be for Gentie? It'd be like Loveland and a first would be kind of the starting
spk_0 point. I don't think that gets it done. But if it does, I'm pulling that trigger immediately.
spk_0 What do you think? Oh, yeah. I think you got a, I think you got a,
spk_0 would you throw because he's got Puka Hunter worthy of Buka pickings. Would you put in Coleman
spk_0 in there? Would you throw like Coleman Loveland in that first in and see if that gets it done first?
spk_0 Yeah, I'm probably not even if I'm the gentie person. I'm probably not even doing that.
spk_0 Me too. I think I would probably make you pay Buka. But I don't know.
spk_0 Yes. Yeah. Buka Loveland in a first maybe starts to the conversation going.
spk_0 Yeah, I think that that should be like offer that Loveland in first. And then
spk_0 yeah, don't even don't even bother. Don't even bother that.
spk_0 That's the moment in and let him work up to it. Yeah.
spk_0 So so Coleman Loveland in the first, that's how I would start it. And then I would I would work off
spk_0 of that one and go down from there. So if you could I also like that. If you can trade that
spk_0 late first to get breeze hall, I'm doing that one. Like I would do that one to not even mess with
spk_0 the Loveland and Egg Buka one. I think I would want that one first because I think I don't even mind
spk_0 deal. Boggs, I don't even mind offering Hunter Loveland in that first. Okay. Yeah. If you're just
spk_0 going to use Hunter like Wondale Robinson anyway. Yeah. I mean that but that's that's fair. I
spk_0 am fine with that. Yeah. Egg Buka looks like an absolute stud already. So I'm fine with that.
spk_0 Yeah. I think that's the way we would work it. So you know, start start low but not too low.
spk_0 So it's insulting and then go from there. But I also what do you think about what do you think
spk_0 about that late first for breeze hall? Do you think that's a better deal than doing anything with
spk_0 gentie and trading all those pieces fits? Maybe you can get that done. I mean, not the biggest
spk_0 breeze guy but just a late first for next year. No, I don't mind. I might even prefer that
spk_0 actually because I just the more I've been thinking about the breeze hall thing and I know they are
spk_0 going to use the other backs. But it's not a man. They just they're so little. What's that?
spk_0 Well, didn't I wasn't I the breeze hall guy in the off seat? I wasn't going to bring it up.
spk_0 But if you're going to bring it up, fit see that. Yeah. That's a victory lap. I will take early.
spk_0 Sure. And like I mean, I was definitely scared about the way they were talking with him and just
spk_0 like not thinking there was going to be a lot of pass catching upside there with you know,
spk_0 just in fields ago's average like 24 pass attempts to game over his career. But like it's just
spk_0 there's so little skill position talent on that team. It's breeze on. It's Garrett Wilson.
spk_0 And so I think it kind of have to get the ball into his hands at this point. So yeah, I think
spk_0 a late first for breeze hall would be a nice victory. Would you would you add anything on top of
spk_0 that or like how much more would you be willing to add on top of that? I guess if it's not enough
spk_0 to get it done. Yeah, I mean, I would add like you could add like a brishard Smith or like another
spk_0 pick or one of your thirds. Yeah, or one of these. Yeah, yeah, a little lower, but not, you know,
spk_0 I do think you should cost you more. Like Fitz and I've said, we prefer that one because of the
spk_0 cheap cost. So it probably is going to cost you more. So you you are holding a lot of picks and what
spk_0 looks like it could be a terrible 2026 draft. Oh, I would say be willing to trade multiple 2026
spk_0 picks get out from under them. Yeah, not a bad idea. So perfect. Thank you. CFC. I got to appreciate it.
spk_0 Of course, take it easy. Thanks, buddy. I mean, Fitz, I got to take my one victory lap. My college
spk_0 stuff was so bad this weekend. Yeah, you have to help me. So appreciate that. Let's see, we got
spk_0 Jack here. What's up, Jack? Jack. Hello. Yeah, there we go. We got you. Can you hear us?
spk_0 Thanks, my sorry. Yeah, just on the other side of the world, I'm trying to work. So I hope
spk_0 being all the technology is working for me. We got you. We got great.
spk_0 Great. Jack. Awesome. Thanks, guys. I really love love the podcast. I spend a lot of time
spk_0 up late with my son. Yeah, let's meet you guys. I kind of feel like I know you. I'll keep it
spk_0 quick. So now there's a couple of other people with their hands up just two quick questions.
spk_0 Kind of one more of a overarching one. I joined my first dynasty league about this time last year.
spk_0 For me, another guy was 11th and 12th team in a dynasty league. My team is a bit of a hot mess at
spk_0 the moment. I drafted Travegan Henderson in the first round. Traitor with another guy to get
spk_0 Jaden Daniels in the QB position. And then kind of went after a lot of those guys that you,
spk_0 especially you, Fitz, were talking about in the off season. I guess I was just kind of wondering
spk_0 like what's my strategy kind of moving forward? Like I know you were just speaking to CFC about
spk_0 yeah, the 2026 drop class not being great. Do I just kind of just kind of hold my chips and hope
spk_0 I kind of land on a couple of gems in that draft? I just don't feel like I have many kind of
spk_0 studs to trade away. Like I've got like Drake London, Chris Alive, a Jalen Warren,
spk_0 Jaden Daniels like Tyler Warren, but outside of those guys, I don't think I really have too many
spk_0 kind of barking pieces to move around to get any kind of future hydrothics.
spk_0 So what are you? Go ahead, go ahead, box. Go ahead. I was just going to say so there's some good young
spk_0 building blocks there. You know, Jaden Daniels Warren, London. I would just say,
spk_0 Jackie, maybe like prioritize 2027 picks over 2026. And if there's anyone who's looking to maybe
spk_0 add 20, be willing to sacrifice 2026 for 2027. I don't know how you feel about that, but like
spk_0 especially for a rebuilding team, it might seem counterintuitive to sort of
spk_0 braid out of a closer draft, get into a draft that's further down the road. But I mean,
spk_0 we're talking about like a bad draft class versus a just watershed landmark draft class in 2027.
spk_0 Yeah. I mean, the the chasm is getting bigger three weeks into the NFL season.
spk_0 Yes. So yeah, I agree with that sentiment. I would also say like if you think it's a deal
spk_0 that you're getting on a player, do that trade. You know what I mean? So you know, I would shop,
spk_0 you don't have to shop just for pieces in 27 shop for current pieces as well. You know,
spk_0 go get Joe burrow while he's hurt. You know, if a player goes down with an injury that's not like,
spk_0 you know, a career ender or something that really dramatically affects them. Because I mean,
spk_0 once they're hurt for this season, they hold no value for this season. And Joe burrow is holding
spk_0 almost nothing for this season. We think it's at least three months for him. Maybe comes back
spk_0 at the end of the playoffs where he's not even really trustable to start because we haven't seen
spk_0 him play for whatever 15 weeks. So yeah, yeah. And so go go get those guys if they don't have devastating
spk_0 career ending injuries as well. Try to do that as the season goes on. If you're, you know,
spk_0 if your roster is a mess and you're looking like you're not heading towards the playoffs. So
spk_0 just yeah, if the deal is good, do the deal and just keep stacking on those and just keep winning deals.
spk_0 Yeah, sure. That sounds like good advice. The only other one I had was probably more for you,
spk_0 box. It's the Ida pay league as well. So we start to, yeah, I love it actually. Yeah,
spk_0 one day line man, two linebackers and a DB. So I've got Nick Cross from the Colt. So I've had
spk_0 quite a good season last year. I was just wondering about your thoughts on Trevon Moe rigs from
spk_0 the Panthers. I just kind of feel like that defense is kind of horrific and in the first couple of
spk_0 weeks, I think he's going to reach double digit tackles kind of, yeah, both weeks. Yeah, this is an
spk_0 example of a really bad defensive player being a really good IDP value. A guy that has been kicked
spk_0 around the league, but he's the last line of defense for what was historically a terrible run defense.
spk_0 Plus the offense has been so miserable. They're going to spend, you know, closer to 35 minutes on
spk_0 the field than 30 minutes on the field, every single game and he doesn't come off the field. So
spk_0 he's not a very good player, but he's very good because he keeps stacking up those tackles. So
spk_0 and he got 50, 50 million as well, box. I wouldn't mind getting 50 million if I was a bad,
spk_0 bad at my job. You know what? He was pretty, he was better last year than he ever has been. So I'll
spk_0 give him that, right? That's what got him paid. But I mean, he's going to be out there a lot and
spk_0 he's going to be making a lot of tackles 12, 15 yards down field. So yeah, pretty good option.
spk_0 If you're tired of cross, get rid of him and with DBs, they are a dime a dozen. They come and go
spk_0 so fast. So have no fear specifically in a league that shallow at IDP of churning and burning
spk_0 any position, but specifically DBs. There's always going to be good ones on the wire.
spk_0 Yeah, because I've heard good things about I'm not going to try and print this for
spk_0 name, but the DB from Seattle that they drafted Nick someone. Yeah, he's great. He really is. And
spk_0 he's a he's a guy that's going to play up in the box a lot too. So when he's healthy, he's a really
spk_0 good option. Yeah, awesome. Appreciate it guys. Love the show as always and yeah, appreciate your
spk_0 help. You got to Jackie. Appreciate you, Jackie, especially listening all the way from across the
spk_0 other side of the world. Thank you so much. Right. Before we move on here, let me tell you guys

spk_0 don't want to be rude slingshot. What's going on slingshot? How we doing?
spk_0 Doing well, doing well. Just wanted to say first and foremost, just thank you guys. Always
spk_0 love listening to show. So appreciate all the hard work you guys put in. Thank you, man. Oh,
spk_0 thanks. Slingshot. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so all my questions, they kind of revolve around
spk_0 a startup dynasty league. So just started just got off the ground. So I've just a couple weeks in
spk_0 kind of a fun stage. It is super flex. We start three ride with wide receivers. Excuse me,
spk_0 three flex positions and also two tight ends. So no run backs required. Oh, sorry, we do start
spk_0 running backs as well. Just two running backs. Pretty standard set up there. Yeah, yeah,
spk_0 that's a bad show. Yeah, so deep starting lineup for sure. And with all that in mind,
spk_0 12 teams, by the way, as well. I wanted to kind of philosophical question. How much do you guys
spk_0 worry about having a viable third quarterback just in order to get better at a couple other
spk_0 positions? My wide receiver course. Awesome. I have Malik neighbors, Brian Thomas, Drake London
spk_0 to start. Didn't end up with the elite quarterbacks and they kind of went fast at some times. So
spk_0 how much do you guys prioritize just getting that third guy locked down?
spk_0 Pretty high in a super flex league because of stuff like what happened this weekend where Joe
spk_0 Burrow goes down and my god, 50 sent me a text this weekend in Pentathlon in a best ball.
spk_0 Who were your quarterbacks? They're all dead. Well, I was wrong about that box. I was mixing up
spk_0 leagues in my head. I thought I had I thought I had burrowed Daniels and Purdy. It was actually
spk_0 I have burrowing it differently. I have Lamar. Okay. So you're doing. Yeah, doing doing okay.
spk_0 Still still putting in some big bids on backup quarterbacks this week, Bogs. But
spk_0 yeah. So the only thing I would say about this, um,
spk_0 slingshot would be that with the number of with the extra tight end and all the flexes you have,
spk_0 that slightly dilutes the importance of the quarterback in your league just because there's so many
spk_0 line up spots. So generally in a super flex like if you're starting nine or 10 players,
spk_0 like that third quarterback is so great to have such a security blanket. But in yours,
spk_0 where you're starting, what you guys start 13, is that right? Uh, 12, I believe. 12. Okay. Um,
spk_0 man, that's like that's a lot of starters and that makes it just a little bit less imperative
spk_0 that you have a, you know, a third guy who's playing for his team. So, um, it's really nice to have,
spk_0 but I would not take a major hit at running back or wide receiver tight end the trade for some
spk_0 kind of lower tier starting quarterback to have as my third guy in your league.
spk_0 And your league, I think it's just a little less urgent. Great point to make. Fitsy because of all
spk_0 of these flex spots for sure. But let me ask Fitz here. Do you think your most important bench player
spk_0 is still that third QB in a super flex? I do. I mean, well, I'm not as important as because I
spk_0 forgot that he had a million flex spots. So you're, you're correct. The starting spots matter more,
spk_0 100%, but it's still the most important bench spot is that guy. And by the way, that third QB can be,
spk_0 you know, a handcuff to one of your top QBs as well. Who did you say they are?
spk_0 Um, I top two quarterbacks are pretty. Um, obviously I got Mac Jones playing right now as
spk_0 fortune to get him and then Trevor Lawrence. Okay. Yeah, not, not a lot of handcuffs there. You
spk_0 know, it I was, I would, I liked the combo of getting Richardson and Daniel Jones in the offseason
spk_0 and startups just to make sure you have the guy and that is paying off, you know, so things like
spk_0 that. So it doesn't necessarily have to be, uh, you know, like unloading your fab for Jake
spk_0 Browning or whoever, but it just make sure you have one for when someone goes down because I just
spk_0 don't like to be behind at quarterback and the super flex. That's all. So yeah, it's nice.
spk_0 It's nice that you have pretty back up to that helps. Yes, for sure. Absolutely. Yeah. And I also
spk_0 have, you know, like James Winston, Jimmy Garoppolo, Joe Milton. So like I have a few shots at guys
spk_0 like should injuries come up. It just, you know, obviously more hit or miss rather than guarantees. So
spk_0 yeah, great questions. Like shot. Appreciate you. Oh, thank you. All right. Who is up next?
spk_0 Here we go. Oh, look at this Tater Wolf and Redbeard familiar names. What's going on, Tater?
spk_0 Hey guys, how are you doing? Good. How are you? Tater Wolf. Long time in. I know. It's been a minute,
spk_0 Ben Busy. Life happens. Um, we talking to Dynasty. Yes, sir. Sir. So I have an IDP league that I think
spk_0 I need to tear down to the studs. And I'm wondering how I can correctly value the IDP players. I have
spk_0 Antoine Winfields, I hear Franklin, um, Edwards and Chicago, Van Ginkgo, Hendrickson. I got some
spk_0 good IDP players that put up points or normally carry my team. So if I want to get my total points
spk_0 possible down, I think I need to trade some of them away. But IDP players are never traded for
spk_0 early because they're tough to value. Uh, what, what do they score? Is it like 50% of the offensive
spk_0 value 25% is it are they single sack is like eight points. Okay. So is it similar to the offensive
spk_0 players? Uh, yeah, uh, normally, I mean, a bad week, you're probably looking at like four to
spk_0 five, but if they get a pick or if they get a tackle for loss, force, fumble, that in itself is
spk_0 like six points. Man. So big plays on defense. So if there's a guy like Miles Garrett can put up
spk_0 40 points. Sure. Any given week. Yeah. I'm sure. So that's how I would view it. So, uh,
spk_0 linebackers have a bunch of value because they're going to score the most even in a league where big
spk_0 plays happen because they're on the field 100% of the time, uh, you know, and they're going to stack
spk_0 up those tackles and they have chances for big plays. So, uh, they're, you know, the tippy top of
spk_0 those guys like Zaire Flint Franklin should still bring you back in decent amount. Like I'm not
spk_0 trading him for a second round pick, you know what I mean? Like it's probably going to have to be
spk_0 assets or multiple assets that you get like current players or multiple assets that you get
spk_0 for him. Um, defensive lineman like Trey Hendrickson should bring you back a lot as well because defensive
spk_0 lineman are just hard to come by. Their numbers are thinner, uh, specifically big players like
spk_0 Trey Hendrickson. So those guys, those two specifically should get you back a lot even in a league where,
spk_0 you know, these, these guys are maybe more of a diamond dozen because they are all, they're all
spk_0 scoring a bunch. So it makes them less valuable. But, um, I think that those, those guys in particular
spk_0 should get you back a lot. Uh, you have Antoine Winfield. Unfortunately, he's just not going to get
spk_0 you anything, right? Because these are diamond dozen. So you might as well just hold on to him,
spk_0 honestly. He had such a good year. I could have capitalized on his value, but I was contending and
spk_0 I mean, yeah. And, but, but also it doesn't matter like once you get, it's almost like buying a
spk_0 brand new car, getting defensive back. That's really good. As soon as you take it off the lot,
spk_0 it loses value. Like as soon as you draft someone, they probably lose value because they just go into
spk_0 a pool of a million defensive backs. They get a lot of, yeah. So, uh, prioritizes linebackers and
spk_0 defensive lineman. Don't sell them short, but you know, you're league better than we do. And
spk_0 they're probably going to, you know, you're probably going to have to settle for those guys,
spk_0 which is unfortunate. But, you know, at least shop them. I feel that. I like it. Okay.
spk_0 Excellent. I appreciate it guys. You got it, Tater. Appreciate it. Thanks Tater. Well, absolutely.
spk_0 See last one, Redbeard. What's up, Redbeard? It's wrap up with Redbeard and then we've got a couple
spk_0 more in the chat. We'll hit those and close out, Boggs. Perfect. What's going on? Y'all, y'all doing
spk_0 all right? Yes, sir. What do you got for everybody? How about you? I'm doing all right.
spk_0 Definitely thanks to y'all. I've got, I guess I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I should
spk_0 do with my dynasty league. I'd put it in the chat, but for some reason, it kicks me. It says that
spk_0 it's locked that I can't put it in there. But I've got hurts and fields. I've got
spk_0 it. Bucky Jonathan Taylor and Aston Gentie is my starting running backs. Puka Malik,
spk_0 Brian Thomas Jr. Garrett Wilson. Wow. D.K. Yeah. I've managed to make a trade for Quinshon
spk_0 Juckins before he actually signed for next year's second round pick. So,
spk_0 so you're doing it sounds like only thing to make my gods stabilize the QB two spot.
spk_0 Okay. Because and then my tight ends I've got I picked up fan in, but I've got King Caden Hockinson.
spk_0 Man, this roster is great. Who are the QBs again giving to him more more time?
spk_0 Hurt's in fields. I had Richardson, but I'm about to drop him, especially with how
spk_0 Daniel Jones has been playing. So where do you where do you trade from Fizzy on this roster
spk_0 to upgrade that field spot? Boy. You know,
spk_0 yields and it really kind of depends. Like if there's you obviously are going to be
spk_0 targeting the teams that have quarterback depth that have three quality starters. And you're
spk_0 probably giving them fields back for an upgrade. And then hopefully you're not giving up one of
spk_0 your stars. Maybe you can get away with Juckins plus fields or like just a more of a sturdy quarterback.
spk_0 Because we saw like fields had a really nice week one. And then week two was just a disaster.
spk_0 And like that's what you fear like getting that sort of a game from Justin Fields in a playoff
spk_0 game. And that's why I was just going to say so like fields and you know,
spk_0 folds out of the out of the three. Which one would you rather get rid of ETN, JK or Pollard or
spk_0 you throw around Juckins? I'd be I'd be willing to negotiate with any of those guys.
spk_0 Same. I think Dobbins first, but Dobbins also going to get you not enough. So yeah,
spk_0 rather than rather than zeroing in on any one. Like I mean, I leave some wiggle room and
spk_0 negotiations. And I think Fitsy, I think you said it correct. The first thing you said here,
spk_0 it was like you're going to you're going to find a team that has three good QBs. You're going to
spk_0 get off of them fields plus something. But you go down the roster and you see, okay,
spk_0 there we can running back whether we can wide receiver or like because you're strong at every
spk_0 position, but that second quarterback. So that's what I would do is I would go down the list,
spk_0 see who has three viable ones, they can trade one and it makes a lot of sense for them to trade one
spk_0 and do it that way and then offer whatever they need because you know, maybe they may be
spk_0 maybe they're running back. They don't like Juckins, you know what I mean? Maybe they like
spk_0 somebody else who knows. So because there is one, I don't know why he has so many quarterbacks,
spk_0 but he's got Daniels. He had burrow, but burrows out. So I'm not looking at him. He's got
spk_0 cam ward and my homes also. Yeah, I mean, that's he's definitely short on running back. He's
spk_0 only got Devon H and David Montgomery because he just lost Eccler and he had and who knows about
spk_0 Joe Mixon. Fields and Judkins from my homes. What do you think of that? Fitsy. Fields and Judkins from
spk_0 my homes. Yeah. Oh, no, I'm not doing that if I'm the other guy. I would need there. But so what do we
spk_0 have to what do we have to add on top or do we switch out Judkins for a better running back?
spk_0 Who are you running backs again? Red beard? Stand by. I've got a figure we're not touching the top
spk_0 three, which was Jonathan Taylor Bucky and Ashton Gentie. But the other run of next I have is
spk_0 ETN JK, Quinshon, Pollard. Do you think ETN gets that done? Fits or we're still not.
spk_0 ETN fields from my homes. No, maybe ETN Judkins and Fields from my homes and now a couple,
spk_0 a couple ugly bits from his team after that. But like I think it would be worth it though to make
spk_0 that move as deep as you are running back. I would be willing to get to move. And I'm going to pay
spk_0 with losing ETN because I do have Bayshal Tutans down there also. Yeah. That's where I go.
spk_0 The try that red beard. Appreciate you, my friend. Take it easy. Thank you. Thank you all for
spk_0 everything you do. You got it. Thanks buddy. All right. Fitsy said that we got a couple more in the chat
spk_0 here. Yeah. I just wanted to hit on a couple of buntings questions and then there was a question
spk_0 about Jordan Love. So let's answer those. Bunting asks about this one team. Am I a contender?
spk_0 I feel like it's right on the edge for a dynasty squad, especially with an aging CMC leading the
spk_0 charge. It's, you know, my homes Kyler Murray, McCaffrey, Chase Brown, you like that. But then not
spk_0 much behind those guys, just like Stevenson Ramondra is really the best guy. Eccler's Hurts,
spk_0 Garando, Lam, DJ Moore, Igbuka, Zae Flowers, Keon Coleman, Golden Hunter, Waddle, pretty loaded
spk_0 at wide receiver and then Hawkins and Fryer and with the Royal. But it is a 10 teamer.
spk_0 Box that's I think you got to trade some wide receivers for some Arby's, right? I think that's
spk_0 what I do specifically because you have McCaffrey and you know, you smartly had Garando as well
spk_0 and then they trade for Brian Robinson. So, but I mean, Giddens doesn't do anything until the game
spk_0 is over, right? That's when he gets his carries. Blue hasn't even got a helmet recently. Eccler just
spk_0 towards the killies. Garando's not the backup to McCaffrey anymore. So I think I'm taking like,
spk_0 you know, you started Zae and worked your way down. Zae Coleman, Golden Hunter, Waddle, I'm putting
spk_0 those guys on the block and seeing what I can get for them. That running back. Yeah. And, you know,
spk_0 that says and you know, could use an upgrade a tight end too. So it's just, it's not a bad team
spk_0 and it could absolutely be a playoff team. But I would imagine an a 10 team league that they're
spk_0 like, some pretty stacked hour houses in there. And then on thing as a stacked squad that he put in,
spk_0 and I have two first next year because finally, someone gave me a first for Hertz and let me unload
spk_0 one of my QBs. Thinking I should sell my two firsts to really push for a championship. This team,
spk_0 10 team won QBs, got Jaden Daniels and Dac, Arclay, Chase Brown, ETN, are his top running backs,
spk_0 neighbors, Puka, AJ Brown, Garrett Wilson, T Higgins, so Dune's a Ridley, just insane depth. And
spk_0 there are a lot of flex spots to Andy's got McBride. This is top tight end. By all means,
spk_0 on thing, I mean, Bog's and I were talking about this, the 2026 draft class.
spk_0 Hopefully there's some people in your league who don't realize how terrible this class is going
spk_0 to be because I think it's going to be really unexciting and bad. So I would be willing to
spk_0 move that for I guess, you know, another case where you could maybe use running back depth.
spk_0 Because once again, your wide receivers are absolutely loaded. So that would be my move.
spk_0 Yeah, these squads and Bog's, yeah. And final question, Bog's, I've got an interesting take.
spk_0 I want to see if yours aligns with me. So it's Vinnie, he was asking about
spk_0 Watson, Jordan, love and dynasty. Is that someone who can win your league in 1 QB? He said,
spk_0 will you consider Justin Fields or Jordan love are enough to win a 1 QB league or they
spk_0 disadvantage and thus be looking to upgrade? So I think we just talked about fields. He's way
spk_0 to hit and miss. Yeah, there's just not enough passing upside. Like, yeah, he gives you some spectacular
spk_0 rushing game and the occasional good passing game to inconsistent. I would not be looking to ride
spk_0 with Justin Fields as my main guy. Bog's, you're taking on Jordan love as a 1 QB quarterback in
spk_0 dynasty. Not good enough. I think that the goal for the Packers is to never have to pass the ball.
spk_0 I mean, they want to run the ball as much as humanly possible. They have good wide receivers.
spk_0 They don't utilize them as well as we think they do and Tucker Craft gets everything. So
spk_0 they and they don't let them run enough. Like the only way to me that Jordan love is your go to
spk_0 QB and a 1 QB league is if something happens to Jacobs and they just have no run game after that
spk_0 and they have to start passing. So but until that happens, I would say Jordan love is not good enough
spk_0 in a 1 QB league. It's just not the right system. I think him himself might be good enough,
spk_0 but not in green Bay. And Vinnie, their defense is just so good now that they are not going to be
spk_0 involved in many track meets where Jordan love is forced to throw at 40 times. So I think you're
spk_0 going to see him be really efficient as a passer. Right. I think it's going to be a lot of these
spk_0 games like we saw against the commanders where he had nice numbers. Really efficient numbers,
spk_0 but like didn't throw a lot so he didn't have the spectacular day. I love a few of those,
spk_0 but he'll probably also have some games where he only throws it like 22, 23 times. So I think you
spk_0 should probably not count on either fields or love as you're 1 QB and a 1 QB dynasty. I think
spk_0 you should try to do a little better. Those guys are probably outside the top 15. Yep. I agree.
spk_0 So I think that's everything. Fitsy. We got everybody. I believe so, Boggs. Yes, sir. All right.
