I am responding to trade offers. We are massaging the trade offer. We want to make sure that I'm the one that gets the player, not another player manager in our league.

The best mobile network in the U.S. is based on analysis by Ucla of speed test intelligence data, second half of 2025. Well, there have been a lot of other moves that aren't just trades and transactions, so let's talk free agent frenzy. Free agent frenzy. Well, let's talk about the Rams.

Let's keep talking about the Rams. Alan Robinson signed to a three-year $46 million deal. Sometimes teams are just in that category of like, how do they keep doing it? Like the Rams have paid names that are recognizable over and over and over again, and they just have an unlimited Scrooge McDuck bank vault. So Alan Robinson, three years, 46 million. You talk about a way to rebound value. Put them in a position to be Robert Woods. Yeah.

Well, yeah, that was, when the signing happened, it was, holy crap. So now the Rams have Robert Woods, who, yes, he's coming off the ACL, but they'll have Robert Woods back. You have Cop Robinson. They say they are still trying to get Otto Beckham. So Robinson gets the bag of money. And then shortly thereafter, they did trade Robert Woods away to the two, the Tennessee Titans for a sixth round pick. I mean, it's so. You just got replaced. It's so crazy.

that I get it, you know, he's older, his contract, he's, so he comes over, you have to pay him money, but a sixth rounder for like the known commodity, like Robert Woods is good. I think the ACL at 30. Yeah. It takes it from known commodity to unknown commodity. I agree with that to some point, but ACL is such a standard operating procedure. I mean, right now, like, and granted, it is older, but I think.

I think half of the incoming wide receivers in this year's... They've already gotten one out of the way. Yeah, like literally, half of the guys that are going to be drafted in the first four rounds have had an ACL tear already. It's a little bit more difficult at his age, but let's talk Alan Robinson. Yeah, Robinson's two years younger than Robert Woods. He's going to come into this situation. I do think they'll bring Beckham back. So it's likely going to be a Cooper Cup, Alan Robinson, Odell Beckham situation. That's not going to be easy beyond Cup.

Van Jefferson. Oh, yeah, yeah. I call him the Rams Gabe Davis. What do you do? I mean, Cooper Cup, there's no question marks around him. Right. You're not worried about Robinson coming in. They ship out Woods. Beckham's coming off in ACL. So they're willing to do that return from ACL. So the question is. Is Robinson washed? Is there the question? No, the question is.

Did you draft Alan Robinson last year? If you did, he's washed. He is washed. And you're going to completely, like, my hands are, my, I've washed my hands. I will not be drafting Alan Robinson. But that is illogical. That is just me being an angry, spiteful man because of what he did to my fantasy team last year. The reality is, this is the perfect situation.

for Alan Robinson. He has a true franchise quarterback throwing him the ball. He has an elite number one. Like Robinson doesn't even have to be the one in this offense. So he is in the perfect situation. Is he washed? The Rams don't think so. That's a guarantee. I don't think he is. Well, and there is a middle ground between washed and prime. And they, sure, you know, like Odell.

Odell is not what he was, but he's also not washed. Let me ask you this question. Last year in fantasy drafts, Alan Robinson went with the 10th pick of the third round. Robert Woods went with the third pick of the fourth round. They were very close together. Does Alan Robinson go higher or lower than he did last year? Lower than he did last year. Does he go higher or lower than Robert Woods value at 403?

I think he will be drafted right there. If I have to pick, I'm guessing he will go higher because he's a bigger name and he got a lot of money in a major market and people will buy in. I will not draft him there. I think he is more of a fifth round type of wide receiver to me. This is a guy who's had so many good years. We don't know if he's still got it or not, but all of his good years have been over 150 targets. And that's just...

He's not the one here anymore. He's always been the alpha for his fantasy value. And maybe that can be tweaked and changed. And obviously Robert Woods was right behind Cooper Cup in terms of pecking order. It wasn't like Cooper Cup was 170 targets and Robert Woods was 105. So to me, I think he's going to be okay. I'm not really going to jump through hoops to get someone that is okay. Let me ask you another question about

where you would draft him. And by the way, I think he'll go lower than 403 because I think they'll bring Beckham back and there'll be ambiguity there. They also have Cam Acres to start the year, God willing. He will go lower, but that is oozing with upside. Like if Alan Robinson still has it, he will be, he will outproduce his ATP by a lot. It's possible. And it kind of, it could be a situation like Jefferson Thielen, where they both have tremendous value, but one of them just is way down the ADP. Right.

Another wide receiver is signed to a one-year deal. The chief signed Juju Smith-Schuster. And so Juju departs from Pittsburgh. Do you like Juju's opportunity with Mahomes more or less than Alan Robinson's opportunity with Matthew Stafford? Less because there are two more important targets ahead of him. And even if they bring O'Dell Beckham back, I think Alan Robinson becomes the two.

in the pecking order, or at the very least, at least he's tied with Beckham, whereas Juju is firmly behind Tyreek and Kelsey. He is the third in this offense. It's not a bad landing spot for him. He'll be a wide receiver three, and he will have fantasy relevance this year. He can have big games like Samuel Watkins had that one time and some of the other, you know. Mahomes missed Watkins. He really did.

Yeah, he did. I mean, you saw with Hardman and Pringle and, you know, they've been trying to figure out who that third is. I think it's a good move for the Chiefs, a good for Patrick Mahomes value and good for Juju. It's good all the way around, but I don't think Juju has the opportunity as the three to be any kind of fantasy superstar. He's just going to be someone that I think will be more relevant than the Lizard King. Over under 70 receptions in Kansas City for Juju Smith-Schuster.

By the way, in case you didn't catch it while you're on a boat, Byron Pringle did sign with the Bears. I actually did miss that one. Thank you. Yes. So you do not have Pringle there. I will take the over on the reception. So last year, McCole Hardman saw 13% of the targets. That was the second most at the wide receiver position. Pringle saw 9%. And I'm not saying all of that all of a sudden goes to Juju. But there is a world where Juju is sitting at like,

what, 17, 18% of the targets. And then that will turn into he's a okay weekly start. And then he'll have like two to three spike weeks throughout the season. Yeah, I think I'll take the over. I'm going to guess right around 75. So just smidge smidge more. All right. I do have some public sentiment regarding that total because I don't think people are as.

People are not that excited. Okay, no, they are the 48% 61 to 80 receptions. So there you go. All right. 11% over 81 receptions, 36% below. It is a just absolutely wild world, though, of just a few years ago, Juju Smith-Schuster was the next big thing. Dynasty startup drafts had his name at the very top. Yeah, the one-on-one in the dynasty startup draft. The next big thing at the wide receiver position and now has had.
