Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Keep/Trade/Cut + Fantasy Questions

trade target exists for these guys it's bennett you trade bennett yeah you trade bennett and as far as which running backs a target the and this is kind of for anybody out there that is wanting to do a trade you have too many running backs or too many wide receivers it's not about who you target it's about whose team you target go look at the teams that need a tight end exactly and look at their running backs exactly that's the only way you're going to get a deal done yeah absolutely um

Here's a question for you guys. Jay Dogg in Seattle says, should I trade Kristen Michael for Tevin Coleman? Coleman is player ranked 7 right now, and Rollo should be back within a few weeks. What do you do here? Mr. Jay Dog has a question for you, and he's up in Seattle, which means he probably really wants to keep Christian Michael. I would not do that trade. I think Krista Michael is the starting running back for the rest of the year. I feel when it comes to Tevin Coleman.

Like a new teenager. I am very confused. I'm going through a lot of emotions right now. New experiences. With Kevin Coleman. I don't know what to make of Kevin Coleman. I don't know if I can trust him or not. I keep going back and forth convincing myself like, look, I think he's a weekly start. I think he's okay. And I think he's a great handcuff. Maybe the handcuff to own. And then I go and I go.

No, no, no, no, you got to, you got to trade him. He's not going to keep doing this. He hasn't had 50 yards in a week. I saw a Facebook live video of Coleman, and he had like one of those flowers, and he was pulling off the pedals, and he's going, Jason, does he like me? He likes me not. He loves me not. Yeah. You heard Mike's response. I couldn't disagree more, so I would go to Kevin Coleman. I think Coleman's the better rest of the season play.

then Kristen Michael, I think Rawls will come back and be very heavily involved. So we are diametrically opposed. Jason, do you have a strong opinion? I mean, honestly, because I don't know what to make of Tevin Coleman, I can say that right now I would rather have Kristen Michael. Who would you rather bring to the prom? Kristen Michael. Yeah. He was great on the show. I like talking to him. He seems like a fun guy to hang out with. All right. Samuel in New York. Should I trade Tevin Coleman for Jeremy Hill? No.

I'd rather have Coleman. Yeah, no. In this crazy world. In that one, I completely agree. I would rather have Coleman than Jeremy Hill. Another trade question from Joel in New Brunswick, Canada. Oh. You guys want to talk some trades? Bonjour. Hey guys, love the show. Do I trade my Crowell and Sneed for Jamal. Oh. How much work do you see Jamal Charles getting? Look, this is a great...

question to open up a Charles discussion. So let's answer the trade question. Or maybe we talked Charles and then answer the trade question. I don't know. I mean, I thought about trading for Charles this week. And I said, I wish I could see the future and know what they're going to do with him. Yeah. My expectation for Charles is eventually maybe not this week, maybe not next week. But he will be back in that 60%. You can't give him that.

65 to 70% though with how great Spencer Ware has been with Charles coming off of another ACL and still not ready for football but I mean this is this is a this is a home run type of a trade where Charles could be if Charles is back he is so much greater than Crow Island Steed put together he has a much larger impact for your team

So I'll say if Crowell is you're running back three, I'll do it. Right. You're saying if he's not one of your absolute plug and play two starters. That makes sense. When I look at Jamal Charles, we talked preseason. His talent is undeniable. But if you look at how they've brought him along, you could not have brought him along slower. I mean, they come in and he finally plays and they give him what, like one touch? He wasn't supposed to play that game. Did you know that?

Well, right, but Char West's injury caused him to play that game. And then they were getting blown out. Right. That makes sense. But my point is, I don't think that he's going to be back and relevant this week. I don't think he's going to be back and relevant the next week. So let's say three weeks from now is when he really gets involved heavily.

Well, you probably didn't start him that week because you just can't trust it yet. So then you're starting him the following week. Now we're into week 10, and I agree, maybe for the fantasy playoffs, he's okay. But if I'm the Kansas City Chiefs and my team is doing well, and I'm in the playoff hunt, and I've got a 29-year-old, Jamal Charles, who's amazing and awesome. I want to keep him healthy, and I can do that with Spencer Ware. So, I mean, I guess my glasses when I look at Jamal Charles and look at what's happened so far in the year, they're not as rosy.

Chiefs are two and two. I don't think they're going to have the luxury of keeping him back because you have Oakland at 4-1, Denver at 4-1. I think it's going to be tough to do that. I probably temper what you said with a slightly more rosy outlook. I think you will make that decision to not start him this next week, and I think you'd be back after that. So you're saying two weeks versus four weeks. So then you would trade for him? Yeah, I would do that trade. I would.

I'd take the chance, unless you were a team that had, you know, crows, the safer bet as an RB2. But I'd take, yeah, I'd take the chance because what's the worst that's going to happen with Charles? I'd try to get where. But if you had both those guys on your team, much like DeWill and Levy on Bell, I think you're going to be okay. I think you're going to be okay. All right, let's look at this one, Chiefs.

Receiver question from Ethan and Chicago. They have a good schedule for receivers coming up off their by week. Should you trade for Macklin or pick up other chiefs? What do you think about Macklin's the rest of the season? Yeah. The problem with having a good passing schedule is that they're not really a passing team. The volume is not going to be there even in good matchups. This is the schedule that he's referring to, though, which does sound very good. You come off the by and you got Oakland, New Orleans.

Indianapolis, Jacksonville, as your four weeks in the playoffs, Atlanta, Oakland, and Tennessee. So they are good matchups. I mean, it's obviously better, no matter what, to have a better matchup than a worse matchup. Jeremy Macklin is kind of the kid that always disappoints you. If he doesn't score a touchdown, you're always going to be a little bit down on his numbers and not happy with him. And if he scores a touchdown, you'll be happy. But, I mean, in that offense, you know, he's going to be six for 68.

Oh, okay. Well, he was really, he makes you think, well, he was really involved. We got you like nine and a half points. So you're kind of okay with him, but you mostly wish you had somebody else. In that, in that Pittsburgh game, where they were getting full throttled by a bazillion points before halftime. A bazillion? A bazillion. I looked at the scoreboard. Right. It broke. It said, like they didn't be. They ran out of digits because the Steelers were whooping them so bad. They had to throw.

Every single play in the second half, Jeremy Macklin, five for 78. That's the type of game. With that garbage, you expect Macklin to come out, get you at least a touchdown, maybe a buck 20. But even in that optimal game script situation, five for 78, he just is, he's an okay start, but I'm not making any kind of move to go get him. Would you rather have Macklin or Coates rest of season? Macklin. I would rather have Coates.

It says $32. Well, I just, yeah. All right, we want to thank Five Four Club for sponsoring this show as we close it out here. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you got to go check out five four club.com because I hate shopping and they make you look good.
