Ah, we're on the road. Road trip. Coming to you live. From the Mary Eyes. Sort of. Hey, welcome in. Oh, my goodness. If you're watching the video, you notice we are not. We are at the remote playdraft studios. We are not at our home playdraft studios because we are in Anaheim, California. We are coming to you from...

podcast movement because we do not take a break. You get the fantasy football news and information you need. We've been sitting in our hotel room just scouring fantasy data, making sure that we are as prepped as possible. We're not even down at the podcast movement. Everyone's the ballers. We are recording this episode first. It's a breakout episode. I'm very excited about it. But I'm going to give you a little peek into our lives for a moment because something ridiculous happened on this trip. Now, it's become a necessity. Jason.

Let's just be honest with the listeners here. Jason snores. I have never once heard of myself snores. No, because you're always asleep while you do it. Right. Now, Mike, can you please testify to this reality? It's really a travesty to all humanity. What he does at night. We were in New York a couple years ago, and we were in a teeny tiny room. All three of us, Mike literally slept on the floor. And Jason's volume level, I mean, it.

registers on the Richter scale. It's impressive. It's an actual... So we get two rooms. This is what we do now. There's another Trevor. We get a couple rooms. Brooks is here with us in Anaheim, and we're heading off to Toronto to the fantasy sports show after this. We'll be bringing you shows the entire week. And so we always get two rooms. And so we register, we get the two rooms. We get up to our room and Mike and I are looking around. Okay, this normal room. Normal room. We're totally content with this room.

until we go next door and we look at Brooks and Jason's room. Yes. Now, they gave me the handicapped room, people. I'm not saying. That's not a joke. Yeah, it's not a joke. No, there's a button on the outside and all sorts of special amenities up in this room. This room has got windows. It looks like a penthouse. You could sleep in the bathroom if you wanted. You can take jogs in the room. It is so big. The bathroom's three. So much room for activities. It's unbelievable. That's where we're recording right now.

in Jason's super room. Yeah. So welcome into the podcast. Welcome into my bedroom. Yeah, welcome into the bedroom. If you're on YouTube, you'll see, uh, you'll see us is old school. We've got the desk set up like the olden days. Great show today. We're going to kick it off with a great quick question. We're going to do some keep trade cut.

It's going to be a lot, a lot of fun. All right. We are going to get into the breakouts and some news. Before we do that, we're going to play a little Keep Trade Cut right now. We've got a couple tough decisions to make, guys. I hope you're ready. Keep Trade Cut.

All right, always a fan favorite. We like keep trade cut. Let's start with this one. We're going to go cross position. Brooks has got this one ready for us. Keep trade cut. Pierre Garsohn, Terrence West, Jeremy Macklin. What are you doing? I like all three of these players this year in the draft. I think all three represent really good, you know, positional twos, if you will. None of these guys have the opportunity to finish as a running back one, a wide receiver one.

But they, I think, all will be at or near the, you know, running back or wide receiver too. And they are so late in your draft. So I'm going to start with the trade then. I'm going to say, who's going to have the most value? And I think right now that's Terrence West, especially with some of the news with Danny Woodhead. I think Terrence West will net me the most. So I'm trading Terrence West. I'm going to keep Jeremy Macklin because I believe he has the highest upside. He's still in his prime. And I'll cut poor Pierre Garsohn.

Interesting. I will definitely trade Jeremy Macklin to you. That is going to be to you or Mike. Yep. I'm guessing for Terrence West. I'm trading Jeremy Macklin. Yeah, for Terrence West. Terrence West is my keep. I love Pierre Garcon. Like it's between, like if a full PPR, I probably go my keep as Pierre Garcone. Any other format, I'll go with the running back positional scarcity here. I'll go Keep West, trade Macklin to you two, knuckleheads, all that potential in the unknown.

of Jeremy Macklin and his injury history going to Baltimore. And I'll go ahead and cut Pierre Garcin, but with respect. I'll give him a handshake on the way out. Yeah, I'm going to keep Macklin because I think he is a strong wide receiver too with the potential of being an actual low end one if things fall his way. There was many, many doubters when Steve Smith was going over to Baltimore with age and injury history at Baltimore in coming back from those things. Alex Smith.

made Jeremy Macklin a wide receiver one. Yeah, Joe Flacko can air it out a little bit better. Did he finish a one? Yeah. Maclin? Yeah. That was the year I was on Macklin side. Which is, which makes no sense. Anyway, so I'm keeping Macklin. I'm, man, I grow old. I need to see Terrence West in this week three, preseason week three is super important because he looked terrible. Woodhead is hurt right now. Woodhead is hurt. There's.

Now these reports that Buck Allen's looking good. Ryan Matthews is waiting like a vulture just to be signed by somebody. But at least with the information we have right now, I would trade Terrence West because I think I'll get the value for him and cut old man Pierre Garcone.

Poor Garsohn. He got cut in all three. I like that. Macklin is not the old man, but Garsohn's the old man. Jeremy Hill, John Brown, Marvin Jones. I am going to start this one out. I am keeping Marvin Jones. Jason is distraught about something. I'm keeping Marvin Jones. I think that Jeremy Hill is going to let you down the way Jeremy Hill does. So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to trade Jeremy Hill. I'm going to cut John Brown.

Jason is losing his mind over it. I feel like Brooks has set me up here. What are Brooks do? I feel like Brooks has got me to a place where I might have to cut my man John Brown. Oh. Because right now I have more confidence in Marvin Jones than I have in John Brown. And that makes me very, very sad. I love John Brown. All three of these guys, I don't really want to, like they're not super keep candidates. I'm keeping Marvin Jones. I think he's the one guy in drafts right now. I would be actively drafting.

You know, I guess Jeremy Hill has looked good. He's been splitting all the first team. He'll still be the goal line back. Right now with all the news, negative health news with John Brown. I think you've got to trade Jeremy Hill, get that value and cut my man Smokey. I'm keeping Jeremy Hill. He has looked good. Like I said, with Terrence West, you can shake your head.

But he's looked good. I'm just shaking my head at the fact that you're going to be back in that guy's corner again. I'm not telling people to draft him in the third round. I'm saying you get the value. He's double digits. You get him late for a guy who could, it can be a spot start running back too. This is like you've got a girlfriend that just keeps coming back asking for forgiveness. That's fine. That's fine. And I will do that with Jeremy Hale because I have no confidence right now in John Brown and Marvin Jones is fine. But he's in that wide receiver tier that's.

I can grab those guys off with the waivers. Meanwhile, a running back who we at least, I'm with Jason, I'm projecting him to get the goal on carries. Things could switch real quick on Jeremy Hill and they unleashed Joe Mixon in Cincinnati. But for right now, I'm still, I'm going to take that value on Hill. All right, let's go ahead and talk a little news. News and notes from around the league. All right, let's go ahead and talk a little news. Lev Bell says he's going to report September 1st.

Are we excited about Lev Bell officially ending his holdout? Well, we have to be. That takes another variable out of the way. Yeah, it's great news. Levy on Bell is still my number two pick. And we never moved him. All right. There's been some talk about Odell Beckham Jr. missing maybe a week or two due to the ankle sprain. I got a question from a foot clan member. They wanted to know, look, they're sitting there. If Odell drops to nine in their draft. Oh, my goodness. What? Hold on. Hold on.

Would you take him still ahead of Jordy Nelson and AJ Green at 9 if he was going to miss a game or two? These are the three players on the board. Do you move Beckham if you think it's going to be a game or two? I don't think that I do. I probably just take him. Yeah, but we've talked about a lot that when receivers are coming into the season already with some type of leg problem.

It can be worrisome, but Odell Beckham is just such a difference maker that I'm not going to move him. If you wanted to take Jordy over him, I'm okay because I have Jordy Nelson as Tier 1. Basically how I felt on that. Let's talk about Brandon Marshall, the shoulder injury. The Giants are not concerned. Danny Woodhead sidelined at practice with a hamstring injury. We have talked about that a little bit earlier with Terrence West, but it's not good when you have a situation like that.

Not only do they not have the Joe Flacco consistency there. Now you got Woodhead banged up. He'll probably be okay, but look, he hasn't returned to practice yet. We've got to monitor it. Yeah, Buck Allen will be involved as we kind of talked about last episode. It's one of those things where you just monitor it, nothing much you can do. But Danny Woodhead, he is older. And one of the things that you see, I mean, we give him kind of, for some reason, we give him a free pass on the age.

issue as a running back key is what 32 and here's the one thing we have seen with with age is that when you get injured it doesn't give you a higher probability of getting injured but oftentimes it's it's slower to recover and so that's definitely worth monitoring i think danny woodhead is very high on a lot of ppr boards right now and if he is not back

You know, if he's not back in practice in a week or two, then I'll be moving him down a little. I still think his upside is worthy of being on rostered in every PPR league. All right. ProCi, C.J. Procise suffered a strained groin. This is just the last of a laundry list of injuries going back to college. Concern on the team from the coaching staff that he's not going to be able to stay healthy. He's out of our...

sleeper candidate list right now because it's a messy situation there. Thomas Rawls, Eddie Lacey, C.J. Pro Seis, they all have problems. And so trying to say, hey, Pro Seas is going to emerge with 60, 70 receptions. You can't say it right now. Yeah, I'm, I am the biggest backer of Pro Seis on this show and I'm out. I just, I can't.
