currently on the O and 5 team PPR. If I could trade David Johnson for Joe Mixen, I 100% would do it. I think Jason is shaking his head, just remembering the trade that was last year. Yeah, I fleeced Andy when David Johnson was injured and like the Argonauts. Except it turns out that Joe Mixen might be a better player to have. Actually, no, no, my hesitation here is I don't.

57:08 ↗

This is the one player, because we've asked this in the studio, we've asked this on the show, like, who would you trade David Johnson for? Joe Mixon. And the question of whether or not I would trade David Johnson for Joe Mixed is one I have just not been able to answer. I feel like if I'm trading David Johnson for Joe Mixon, I want more back. I want that fab. I want, give me Joe Mixon and $10 of fit. Get out of here. I will take the perceived loss on name value. I know. I'm straight. Look, Phookland.

57:37 ↗

Go with Mike on this one. Thank you. Okay, because I recognize that it is a, I recognize that where I'm at is probably, uh, bias based on what, what's that? You have endowment. Endowment effect. You have David Johnson. So you're just holding on. I don't have either of these guys. Joe Mixon is a workhorse running back. He catches the ball and he's on a good office. Oh, and Gio's injured. And.

58:06 ↗

He has not had fewer than 84 rushing yards in his three games. The only guy that's in his way. Mixing is great. It is me. Oh, is that the problem? Mark.

58:20 ↗

No, all right, okay. I officially say I would rather have Joe Mixing. Thank you. And I will say this, when I was considering making Joe Mixen one of my guys before the year, one of the reasons for that was because when you looked not at a strength of schedule based on wins or losses or even fantasy points given up to a position, but when you looked at it on a player rating level on the new rosters going into 2018.

58:47 ↗

Joe Mixon and the Cincinnati Bengals had the easiest strength of schedule for running backs. They're about to cruise for quite a while. Robert in Philadelphia, is Ronald Jones actually a good start this week? Atlanta's defense has allowed 20 points to every starting running back they've faced. And his debut, Rojo got more carries than Peyton Barber, full point PPR. Here's what's funny is that Atlanta, you want the past catching running back going against Atlanta.

59:15 ↗

But that's, I mean, what is that, Jequiz Rogers? I guess. I feel like Ronald Jones is going to do all right today in this week in pass catching. I mean, he'll drop like one or two super easy wide open two yard passes. But he'll catch a few and do work. I think Ronald Jones is actually a fine start. He got 10 carries last week, which he was able to turn into 29 yards. I'm still stashing. I don't want to start him, no. Yeah, I don't want to start him.

59:46 ↗

Darren in Portland. Should I, what? Would you rather start Mike Davis? Yes. Or Ronald Jones. Mike Davis. Okay. You good? Yeah. Darren in Portland wants to know, should I trade James Connor and Hot Lockett? Hot Locket. So here we go. James Connor trade. Let's get a temperature. James Connor and Hot Locket for Kenyon Drake and Tyler Boyd. Thanks. You guys rock. This is a great.

60:18 ↗

premise, right? Because Tyler Lockett has been the better wide receiver on the season, but Tyler Boyd is clearly the more... I'd rather have Boyd. I'd rather have Boyd as well. And then I think... Doesn't burn your mouth like a volcano. So here's one. When I was talking about, when we were talking James Connor and the keep trade cut, one of the names I was going to bring up is would you trade James Connor straight away for Kenyon Drake? And I would not. And I would. I would take my... Assuming I'm not the left bell owner.

60:48 ↗

I would do that. I would let my spices expire. You want the one big game. Yes. Over Canyon Drake. Yes. I would take the season. And then I would take the big game. And then if Levi-on-Bel does indeed come back during the buy week, I would sell him to the Levi-on-Bel owner. Sure. Yeah. I mean, the Leverand-Bel owner is still going to want him. I would rather go with that route. So there you have the show, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining the fantasy footballers podcast.
