Fantasy Retirements + Week 5 Buy or Sell, Crazy Eights - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/7

which we don't have confirmation of that. Maybe you hold off for another day, see a practice report, see what, you know, is going on because obviously they played late in the week. So you might want to wait a couple of days before taking this. But if Julio was going to miss this week, I would make that trade. In that situation where I am, you know, one and three and I'm not going to have Julio, then yeah, go ahead and do that. But in a vacuum, all things are equal. I don't think that's enough for Julio.

Where do you? Yeah, I would not do this. I mean, I would rather have Julio Jones. I mean, Robbie Anderson might be the one, quote unquote, of that offense. But that's not saying the same thing as what Julio represents as the one, nor have I seen it over a longer duration to make me want to make that move. Julio Jones, man. Julio is going to be a really big chapter. I can't think of the right word right now, but like he is going to be a huge swing point.

in fantasy football. The decisions that people are making right now of if you're going in or out, it's going to change the face of your fantasy league. And honestly, I don't know which side. I'm with Jason and I'm concerned about the hamstring. I think he's going to miss. And the body starts breaking down, man, especially those big wide receivers. Luckily, we did see some vintage Julio ahead of it.

Right. Yes. That is the differentiator between him and AJ Green is that when they were on the field this year, Julio looked outstanding and youthful and like a gazelle. And now? Big, big hamstring blowout. Oh, you-hoo. All right. Jonah, which running back would you rather have is a bench stash. Brian Hale, Cam Acres. Cam Acres. Cam Acres. Are we ever going to know who to start in that backfield on any given week?

Well, yes, double injury to two of the three running back Saturday. Otherwise, no, I mean, the hope in Cam Acres is basically that once all three guys are healthy, he takes over. I don't know that that's going to happen, but I don't think Brian Hill is fantasy relevant unless an injury to Gurley. So I guess when I tie break here, Cam Acres, it's the fact that if no one on either team gets an injury,

Cam Acres has a higher fantasy opportunity than Brian Hill does. I agree with you. Cam Acres is the yet to be seen ceiling, too, and a better running offense. All right, Twitter question from John Johnson. He says, good day, ballers. Got Scotty Miller off the waiver wire. Would you guys play him over Michael Gallup? Gallup. Gallup seems to be playing third fiddle. I would argue fourth fiddle. Burned me twice this season already.

This is a composition of your team. If you're playing your wide receiver two, I would go, I believe I'd go with Scotty Miller. We spoke about the matchup. I don't really love it against the Chicago Bears. But Michael Gallup, he has to be your flex play. And what I mean by that is you have to know, going into the weekend, saying if I get low point output here from Michael Gallup,

it's going to be okay because my other two wide receivers are strong enough to carry me through the week. But if Michael Gallup hits, I win. I win the week. That's how you have to look at him while Scotty Miller is just more of a safer wide receiver play. And Scottie Miller does have some weekly upside since Tom Brady is his quarterback and is throwing some touchdowns. Can I ask you who you'd rather have rest of the season? Michael Gallup, the home run or McCole Hardman, the home run?

That's a really interesting. That's a great question. I'm going to stick with Michael Gallup for both questions. What about McColl Gallop? Oh, McCallop. If I can get both players into one slot, why would you not do that? Because then they're going to have four legs. It's going to be really awkward. What do you think they'll go out there and gallop? Come on. With four legs, that's what you do. Yes, but not also with four arms. You've got an octopus situation, Jason. Which is good for receiving. Yeah, I mean, this sounds.

I don't know. I don't know, man. You can offensive pass interference with two arms. Let me, let me ask you. Is it better to catch a ball with one hand or two hands? Two. Is it better to catch a ball with two hands or four hands? Yeah, two. Four. Okay, too. All right. Well, we've gotten on the rails. Oh, Gallup or McCleham. I will take Michael Gallup because the Dallas Cowboys, the DAC is on pace to break all records.

because of how much he has to throw the ball. So I will take Michael Gallup. That is not the situation for Hardman in the Kansas City Chiefs. And Gallup is still averaging six targets a game. That's not, you know, phenomenal, but it's enough to where in that offense, good games should come. You know, the consistency of wide receivers is bad. And so when you're in a short period of the season and you say, well, you've got a four game sample, well,

over the course of a 16-game sample, how many good games is he going to have? Let's say he has eight good games and eight bad games. That is surprisingly good for wide receivers. So then where do the eight bad games come? Well, if three of them come in the first four weeks, you feel like he's dead, that's not the reality of wide receivers. True, but it might be the reality of Michael Gallup's new situation with C.D. Lehman and Dalton Schultz. Fair. I mean, like if he has...

12 bad games over the course of the season. Some wide receivers do that too. Sure, absolutely. That's the question of what do you believe about Gallup? And I believe Gallup is good in a good offense. He's a good player. But he's more McCull Hardman this year than he ever has been before. But I'm still with you guys. I would take Gallup because I think there are more guaranteed downfield targets for him than the Hardman shots. But unfortunately, he has become a big play guy, not an every week guy.

All right, Lev Bell, breaking news. He is going to be practicing. He's eligible to come off the IR. We had a YouTube question from Kevin. He said, do you trust him for a flex play this week against Arizona if he comes off the IR? Yes. Sure. Yeah, I agree. They did the right thing here in putting him on a three-week break. We saw wide receivers just pretty much across the board. I'll get two weeks. Come back. Be okay. But in that third week, then they were full go. I think that's a situation with Love Bell.

All right. Later today, we have the bonus episode of the show, The Footcast, for everybody supporting the show at Join The Foot.com. We appreciate all the support of this independent podcast. You guys are awesome, and we've got that coming up later this afternoon. And then tomorrow, Friday, we got starts to the week, all the matchups, excited to get into it.
