Fantasy Football - Trade Targets + TNF Preview, Backup Options - Podcast for 9/24

McBride. >> Yeah, T I mean the Cardinals offense runs through like not wide receivers. That's been the depressing part of it. Um Sam Darnold, your stream of the week, Mike. Kenneth Walker has been on fire. Charbanet will play. Uh he was a full practice on Monday and Tuesday. So you will figure out what the balance is going to be. The Cardinals defense has been pretty good so far this year, but I don't think it's going to stop you from playing Kenneth Walker, is it? >> No. No. Yeah. The the Cardinals defense, they they did a an admirable job against Christian McCaffrey. It's a very

difficult um you know player to try to stop and they looked pretty good doing that. They didn't give up a ton of points to the to the 49ers last week. However, obviously they didn't have a starting quarterback in there even though M. Jones is so good according to M. Jones. Um, yeah, I I I think you you certainly keep starting Kenneth Walker because while you'll get dud games, you'll get those massive big blowup games, too. >> JSN's in your lineup. Where are you with Cooper Cup versus Tory Horton? Cup had a huge week too and two duds. Tory Horton not a big yardage uh guy yet, but he got

into the end zone. And if you had to choose between one of those two for a spot start, >> for a spot start, I would currently be starting Cup, but I would much rather roster Horton and have them either one on my bench right now. >> Yeah, I I can agree with that. I don't really want to force either of them into the lineup. >> Okay. For cup blew up week two, but 15 yards week one and 31 in week three is not yet. Do you guys have any other thoughts on this matchup? Do you have a prediction for Thursday night?

>> I do think Seattle wins the game. They they look like the truly better team. The Cardinals cannot score. Their offense right now looks broken. Um and while their defense has been playing admirable, they've had pretty easy go of it so far. I don't think they've been >> cuz um all three of the teams, San Francisco, Arizona, and now Seattle, have all got to play the Saints, >> right? and the Seahawks blew the tar out of them >> and the Cardinals >> eaked out a win >> as did the 49ers. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Um all right, we will uh turn the

page then and jump into some mailbag. [music] >> Mailbag mail >> presented by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. >> All right, into the mailbag we go. If you have a question, go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. Click that submit a question button or you can dial our voicemail hotline 302464 TFB. We're going to kick it off in today's mailbag with a voicemail. >> Hey ballers, this is Wayne from Kansas City. Love the show. Uh this week, would you start Baker Mayfield or Daniel Jones in a one quarterback lead? Thank you. Baker Mayfield against the Philadelphia Eagles or Daniel Jones on the road

against the Los Angeles Rams. Also, >> I I'm so thrilled that we This is a >> Yeah, >> this is this is a real question >> and and I >> and it might be a real answer of Daniel Jones. >> That's my real answer. He's ahead in my rankings and and it makes more sense. So far, Daniel Jones >> losing Mike Evans. >> Yeah, exactly. losing Mike Evans, playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, it's it's it's not going to be easy for Baker to do enough with Sterling Shepard. Um, you know, I I think they're going to have to really run the ball

well if they want to compete against the Eagles this week. Whereas, you look at Daniel Jones, he was the quarterback four, the quarterback 6, and the quarterback 12 so far on the season. And, you know, one of those, the quarterback six was against a very good defense in Denver. And so you you know the Rams this game is a 49 and a half point overunder. >> It's currently the highest of the week. >> Yeah, I I would like to play Daniel Jones. >> Add in New Zealand start for sure. >> Jameson Williams or Brian Thomas Jr. this week underdog going into week four

sitting at one and two. Don't want to keep getting hurt by BTJ, but I feel like the floor is the same with both players. Love the show. Please help. >> It's Brian Thomas Jr. you you can't go away from the amount of targets that Brian Thomas Jr.'s been getting. I mean, uh, obviously his catching problem has become a mental yip. Like, it's in his head because it's happening too often right now. Uh, but you know, this is a guy who's seven targets, 12 targets, six target. He's on pace for 141 targets. Um, you know, what is the ceiling for either

guy? the floor for either guy. >> Has more catches on the season. >> Well, you're gonna say Jameson Williams, of course, because he has more catches. I believe Brian Thomas has catching 28% of his passes. >> I'm just saying that's shocking to me. Like I I did not expect to see that. I knew the targets were out of control on the Thomas favor, but it literally Jameson Williams, who has eight catches on the year, has more than Brian Thomas. >> If you zoom out, do you have any concern just overall for Detroit this week? They're playing the Cleveland Browns. >> I do not think they'll be able to throw

the ball deep. So, I do I would play I would agree with Jason. I think Brian Thomas Jr. is the play. >> The The biggest problem, we saw this frequently last week and every week. You don't have time. You ever seen Miles Garrett before? >> Oh, man. >> You ever seen Mason Graham? >> Miles Garrett is a superhero. >> Mason Graham is making that Travis Hunter trade look like the worst trade in the history of sports. >> I pressure on the the defensive front for Cleveland. You do not have time. I have wondered that kind of silently of the like the they traded so much for

Travis Hunter. >> It was a very good trade right now for Cleveland >> and I it's it of course it's early but it's like you traded all that and then use a number two pick on guy you're like that guy better be making an impact and it feels like he's not right now. >> Yeah. Yeah. So I I think >> at least not a trade of that magnitude impact. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, like I would say so far through the season despite the huge week too. I mean I'm definitely disappointed in Jameson Williams's play and production. I mean it's been >> it was um

it hasn't really changed his utilization. It's it's been big play dependent. >> I was hoping to see more like six, seven, eight target range. >> I mean that's what we saw the whole second half of last year. >> If you want to have a little bit of encouragement there. Now, it's not going to come this week with with Cleveland, but I mean, you've played at Green Bay and at Baltimore in two of those games. Those have been difficult matchups where the running game has had to dictate things. I think it will open up a little bit for them, but you know, it's been

I've been bummed. I've been disappointed. Um, so somebody insult me because that's when he scored last time. So, the last time you insulted me about him, he he had a big touchdown. >> Yeah. halfway through the game, hop on Twitter and victory. Yeah, that that worked really well. So, [laughter] >> all right, we got another voicemail. >> Yo yo yo, ballers love the show. I just got Debo Samuel in a trade by giving away Chase Brown. I have another league mate though asking for Debo in exchange for cues. Should I do it or should I keep Debo? Thanks. >> I think you're going to get different

answers from this group on this one. I I'm I'm on the Debo side by far. I mean, right now you have a significant injury potential for Terry McLaren. Debo's only bad game was the one game he had no Jaden Daniels and he actually didn't play poorly. He had like a monstrous near touchdown return on a kickoff. >> I I would push back and say his week two was bad. He salvaged it with >> I mean, you had eight targets though. >> Yeah, but >> that's great. >> Seven for 44 is not great. And it was the it was I all of us admit that was

the garbagey garbagey touchdown that's that saved the day. So I don't and I'm not saying I'm completely out on Debo because week one was week one was was very nice. But between the two of those guys I would go I would buy into what Quinn Johnson is doing. >> Yeah. >> And the charger passing attack. >> I actually like both players. This is not an anti- either player take. But the yardage, forget the touchdowns, right? Touchdowns aren't very sticky and they're pushing Huge up drastically. 79 yards in week one, 71 yards in week two, 89 yards in week three, and twothirds of

those were against really good defenses in the Broncos and the Chiefs. Uh what what Quinton Johnston is doing and more more so what we're seeing the Chargers do with how they're playing. Uh, I'm I'm buying into Cuge as as being a legitimate, you know, top 20 wide receiver this year. >> So, Cuge is your answer. >> Yeah, Cuge is my answer. >> All right. Uh, well, then your answer here, prime time in Hawaii, AJ Brown or DBO in a PPR? >> AJ Brown. >> Okay. I think we'd all go AJ Brown there. >> Mhm. >> Just for the the ceiling. Looks really

really good. All right. That was today's mailbag. Watch every game every Sunday with NFL Sunday Ticket in YouTube TV. Visit youtube.com/fantasy football. local and national games on YouTube TV.
