Trade Concepts + Dynasty Dilemmas, Kyler Controversy - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/1

Mailbag. Bang your bag. You fat. Oh, man. Also, I've got a great plastic surgeon I can refer you to for all the face stuff. I guess he doesn't have to buy lights for over there. It's just going to be a shadow. Oh, man, that's an all-time mailbag drop right there. I love you, buddy. All right.

This is Eric from North Carolina. I have a dynasty trade question. I needed a cheap wide receiver with a lot of upside and got Alan Robinson for the 2022-206 and a 2023 second round pick. What do your thoughts? Love the show. Thanks.

So two-twos for Alan Robinson. And the 206 is known. The future, it's not locked in yet, but I'm in. Probably 205 or four. That's interesting. Like, he's 28 and a half right now. Yeah, where are we on Alan Robinson? I will be surprised. And maybe this is pessimism as someone who has Alan Robinson on his own dynasty roster. I would be surprised if Alan Robinson.

becomes a very relevant fantasy option. Obviously, you know, it's funny. We talk about the free agent class at wide receiver and about how it's Chris Gowin, but he'll be tagged. And then the best one is like Mike Williams or, you know, it's trash. Here's Alan Robinson's out there. It's just, what do you believe? I mean, he was coming off the second highest yardage total of his career.

going into last year. I mean, the season before last was 102 for 1250 and 6 in Chicago. And the wheels fell off. And I think what I'm getting, the fact that this is even being discussed is that people, the decision is whether Alan is done. Right. That's the decision. Because two-twos for the shot at Alan Robinson, I'm still doing it. Yes, I'm very pro this trade. Like, that is massive upside for little cost. Like, thinking you can just.

The chance that you hit on like a multiple year, thousand yard guy in a second round, it's very low. And I, there's some social media, you know, stuff going on. Snatterings, Mike. Yes, that's what they're called. That's a good word. Have seen where like Robinson kind of responding to things where like people were alleging that we don't know why, but Matt Nagy is essentially like.

scripting Alan Robinson out. And Robinson's kind of like, yeah, like that's exactly what was happening. We don't know why you would franchise a player and then go that route. But Alan Robinson seems to be saying that there was some stuff behind the scenes. There was a game plan of not going to him. So, I mean, that's what I would say for Robinson too. But at least you know that that.

that's out there. So it's just a very mysterious situation. Giving up two-toothes for Alan Robinson, I think, is a great shot. I presume he's going to switch teams, right? I doubt he's back in Chicago. So he goes to a new team, which one of the things that we had is a takeaway to remember from the season, was that people change in jerseys does not always work out. Oftentimes it doesn't. And he's going to be, you know, a 29-year-old this season. So at 29 on a new team,

I get it. A second rounder has a low hit rate. Two second rounders, maybe you hit something. But is something better than Alan Robinson? That's the question. Is Alan Robinson something valuable at all? There's a higher likelihood I start Alan Robinson in my dynasty roster than either of the twos. So that's what makes me do the trade. I feel like I would take two twos right now for Alan Robinson. Yeah. Well, you. As the one who suffered. As you say, you are burnt. Yeah.

follow-up question on on Instagram. Would you rather have Alan Robinson or Kenny Galladay in a dynasty? And it's Galaday for me. Fresh off of a huge deal. They're close to the same age, 28.3 for Kenny Gallaudet. Yeah, yeah. I'll go. I am. Man, it's been a minute since Galaday had some relevance, hasn't it? Yeah, I will actually take Alan Robinson over at Galaday. Wow.

And you just heard how high I am. So you would trade Gallaudet for two Tuesday? Absolutely, I would. Calliday. Mike, Golliday or Alan Robinson? Oh, man. With no context of the new deal, it's a very tough not to take Gawaday. Okay. But once Robinson is signed, that could be a completely different answer. Let's grab another voicemail. Hey, ballers. I am in a rookie dynasty draft dilemma.

I have been offered Giovante Williams for the second overall pick and the seventh overall pick. Wanted to get your input. Also, love the show, first time caller, long time listener. Thank you. He said, I've been offered Giovante for the second overall pick. And I was like, heck yeah, brother. I would do that in a heartbeat. Yeah. Then he added the seventh, which makes more sense. So the 102 and the 107.

I think I would rather have Giovante. This is not the strongest rookie draft class. It's kind of similar to what you were saying in the quick question, Mike. If that's the guy you want, I would do that in a heartbeat. I would rather have Giovante. Here's my hope for the 102, guys. It's that they can have a nice rookie year to be set up to be like Giovante this year. Well, you would hope they're.

Better. The 102, you're hoping that the draft locks in, like, Najee and Travis E.T.N. I mean, we don't know exactly what the role of E.T.M would have been had he not gotten hurt for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but you have to make some assumptions that a first round pick was going to come in there and dominate touches. So you're hoping that Isaiah Spiller gets taken somewhere on day two where he's set up to dominate touches.

Atlanta Falcons. Isaiah Spiller, Andy Spillers, is he still your preferred running back right now? Yeah, he is. Isaiah Spiller, round two, goes to the Atlanta Falcons. Would you prefer that or Giovante Williams? I think I'd still take Giovante. Okay. I mean, we know that Giovante Williams is very good. It's already translated.

He had a very solid rookie season. He only had the one game where he was the dude. We've seen him do it against professional defenses. Ham burglar. Yeah, he was great. But that's, yeah, that's what you're hoping for with the 102. Yeah. He's a clear situation, clear talent, opportunity. I'll take Giovante. It feels bad because it feels like an overpay at this moment in time, but I'd lean taking Javante.

Instagram question from Corbyn. I'm addicted to sending trade offers. How do I stop? Do I need to stop? You can't make me stop. Oh, well, there's your answer. Yeah, Corbyn, you took care of it. Keep going. Keep going. The only question you need to ask yourself is not, do I stop? It's do people still like me? People like people who trade a lot and who offer trades a lot. I always enjoy them. Even when the person is annoying or the trade offers aren't good, I still prefer like.

Give me lots of options. Give me lots of trades. I love that. I don't, I think the question you have to ask is, are your trades more often helping your team or more often hurting your team? That's the real issue here. If you're bad at trading and you look back and you're like, I keep losing these trades, maybe slow down a touch. Instagram question from John. This is a good one because we just had a dynasty trade involved in this player. What is the offseason outlook of Devon Singletary? Which, um,

You know, fresh off of some nice performances, we discussed it briefly, I think, the long-term outlook. I think we've gotten to the point where I've seen enough of his career to believe that he will not be the guy by choice as much as by things working out in that direction, which he can't handle. I'm not saying it's not a discount on his talent. It's just the way things work out. There were players, maybe this is a bad comp. You tell me.

But like Justin Forset had a long career. There was a very small window where he was kind of the guy. And he was good. And he was good. And I think Singletary can't hold up. But Forset was, it was forced. The plan was not Justin Forset. Correct. And that's how I see the Singletary situation at this point. This is a very good team, very good coach, organizations doing things the right way and they still don't seem to be wanting to settle on him long term.

They think he's a good compliment. And who doesn't like a guy that can come and be the guy in an emergency? So I think the offseason outlook is trade him for value. Yeah, I don't disagree with just about anything you said. I believe that the Buffalo Bill's plan will be to add another solid running back, a better running back than Zach Moss.

and to have it be a time share. Get ready for James Connor to Buffalo. You can, yeah, exactly, something like that. You can always have those plans and then the draft goes by or free agency goes by and the players don't fall to you and boom, bam, singletary is the guy. If he is, I think he'll be fantastic. But I would put the odds at 25% that he goes into next year as kind of the full-fledged start of the way that he ended the year as the guy for them. I don't think that's

their preferred route. That's not what they're trying to do. And he's also in the final year of his contract. So if we're talking dynasty-wise, he, maybe he goes in and he is the Buffalo Bills, you know, leader of the timeshare, because the other guys will still be involved. And he'll be solid for fantasy. You still have a long road between that and then him having value in 2023.

and further because you have to think about multiple years here. Which is, it's a really good point. And it was a lot of what we were looking at with Chase Edmonds in Arizona. Okay, we think he's going to be given the starting job. Right. And he wasn't given the starting job. And then he's a free agent. And now what's the future for Chase Edmonds? You have a Tevin Coleman situation. Yeah. We're just waiting and waiting and waiting. And then they're retired. And he'll be 25 at the start of this coming season.

So that means going into free agency, he'll be a 26-year-old running back that is not going to be the hottest commodity on the market. I would agree. Trade them. Yeah, we got there. Instagram question, Keeper League. Would you trade Jamar Chase for a sixth or Camer Acres for an 11th round pick? Keeperly. Keeperly. Keeperly. Would you keep Jamar for a sixth or Camakers for an 11th? That would be Jamar for me. Jamar Chase. Agreed. Instagram question. Would you trade Calvin Ridley for an early second round pick?

I would rather have Calvin Ridley than the second round pick. Yeah, this is, Calvin Ridley, it's a difficult conversation because there is nothing. There is absolute nothingness out there. The rumor mill has, I guess, had some rumblings. And those, to me, at least what I've come across, maybe you guys have seen something different. But most of the rumblings I've seen are Atlanta ending up trading him.

So if he's on your dynasty squad, it's do you think Calvin Ridley is going to keep playing football? Because if he keeps playing football, you're going to be really upset with yourself for settling for a second round pick. Now, if it's a high first and you believe he's going to play football, I'm still willing to entertain that just because you have the probability that or a chance that he doesn't come back. And at least you got a usable or what should turn into a starting player for you.

Anything to add, Jay? No, I would take the chance with a second on Calvin Ridley. He still looks great, and I think he'll play football. Like you'd prefer Calvin. I would prefer Calvin. I would take the shot. I think he'll be traded and play football again, but that is, there is no inside knowledge. That's a gut feeling. Twitter from Fantasy Football 17 says, how are you doing?

I'm doing all right. Thank you. Pretty well. That's the whole question. Pickleballed this morning. Yeah. Feel pretty good. How is the back? You'd hurt the back? You had the back last time pickleballing, and then I was better this time pickleball. So, no, back is fine. You were better at pickleballing or the back was better? The back was better. The pickleball was the same. Pickle ball was worse because of wind. Wind was. But your pickleball was better because all your good shots were because of the wind? Yes. You should have seen this fella.

when he was having the back issue today no this is the last time we were played this guy just just like shuffling not moving too much oh no i was a statue trying to move i mean really oh i was in i was i should not have been playing like for sure i should have said upper back middle back lower back uh you almost got there but um yeah it was it was certainly one of those i mean who better hit the gym you better hit that ball near me
