Fantasy Football - Playoff Primer + Trade Targets & League Winners - Podcast for 11/12

Becilius, serious? Yes. Yeah, Mike just cast the spell. Okay. I, um, do your own research, man. I'm telling you. I'm telling you it can happen. Um, this will be your next one. I'm saving you from the next. I don't want you miss another show. I don't want, I'm never reheating white rice again. Um, all right. Into the mailbag we go. If you have a question for us. Go to the website the fantasy footballers.com. There's lots of good stuff up there, including amazing articles by the writing staff coming out each and every day. You can also dial our voicemail hotline if you have a question, 302-464 TFFB. I don't think we have any voicemails today. We'll start with a question from Wesley and Omaha. Baller Bros. Who is Jonathan Taylor's insurance backup? P.S. Glad Jason is alive. You and me both, brother. DJ Giddons. Is it? Yes.

I think so I mean it doesn't you could you could argue it's not but yeah I early in the season it was very clear that it was DJ Giddens like he was it seemed involved when whenever the games were you know out of hand and they basically sat Jonathan Taylor in the fourth quarter it was Giddens and so as the Jonathan Taylor manager I made sure to roster DJ Giddens and I have since moved on because I'm not super confident. Their use of... Tyler Goodson was the one that got a snap last game. That's the problem. I don't think you will know for sure if it's Giddens or Goodson. So do you just... I actually think it could be Abdullah. Abdullah, we've seen him... He might be the most productive. I don't know that they don't get the most snaps. Should Jonathan Taylor go down? I don't know that you're going to have a guy. I don't know that you're going to have Abdullah or Goodson or Giddens really be...

great for fantasy you might end up in a in a timeshare it's kind of like you look at the colts and the last couple years they have had an amalgamation of tight ends they they didn't have a stud tight end so it's like oh it's molly cox it's you know everybody just kind of worked in a little bit and then they went and got a stud and it's him you know i think that's what's going to happen with their running back room if their stud goes down they're just going to work in the average joe guys and and everybody gets a couple carries so that sounds like

reheating rice twice. You just don't want to do it. You don't want to mess with the running back room. Sven, Sven in Germany. Oh, bonjour. Bonjour from Germany. Would you trade George Pickens away for Brees Hall in a full PPR league? I am stacked at wide receiver with Pucanico and rice as my star rice as my starters and could need some help at depth at running back. I mean, I think it's It's totally fine. It's fine. It's a fair trade. Yeah, I would do that if you need a running back for sure. Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. Definitely the same tier. I think that's what you look at when you're talking about a wide receiver for running back trade is like, are they the same caliber within their position? And then it's just team needs. Can I throw a new backup option out there real quick? Sure. Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals with the news that, you know, we're going to have no Marvin Harrison. Zay Jones just tore his Achilles, by the way. That was confirmed.

They don't have, I think they have three healthy wide receivers on the team. So Jacobi Brissette is throwing for 250 a game. Oh, Tray McBride. So, I mean, Tray McBride is going to cook. You're going to eat. But. The fill it's hungry. You're so hungry. Michael Wilson, Amari DiMarcato in the receiving game out of the backfield. Backup options for Arizona. The dork. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, maybe. It's a backup option. A backup to the backup. It's not a top option. All right, here's the question I've seen actually a few times. I have answered it on X. Nick in Minnesota, do you shop Henderson, Trayvion, right now, for an upper tier option, or do you hold on to him? Some of the trades I saw getting floated, they were wild. And I was like, I would trade Trayvon in all the situations that I had seen. Yeah, I see one asking, would you trade Trayvon Henderson for Bucky Irving, straight up, because there's so many questions there.

Definitely do that. Bucky was back at practice today. They're all, he was, he was spotted. He was, he was present. It's a real fuzzy photo. Yeah, fuzzy photo. I mean, the, I don't know if he's. Would you trade, would you trade Trayvion for Bucky? Just straight up. I think, man, it's a tough question. If I have, if I have, so that this question is I got McCaffrey. Whoa. What? McCaffrey, Johnny Taylor, and Judkins, then sure. I'm okay with that because you can make it through like you don't need Henderson this week and you can wait a couple weeks for Bucky. Okay. Okay. What do we got here? Stephanie and Idaho, I've been sorely disappointed with the Nick Sutton stack. Yeah. You and Mike both. I hear that. Do you recommend Flacco or Nixon week 11? Also, is it time to bench Sutton for Alex Pierce after his bye? Who's that?

Alec Pierce after his buy. Thank you, Alex. Thank you, litmus. Goodness. I just didn't know who Alex Pierce. There's nothing that feels worse than when Jason corrects you're speaking. But yes, Cortland Sutton for Alec Pierce. I'm open to it. This is a, so this week, okay, week 11. I mean, I would play, I would play Flacco. I can tell you I have both, and I will be playing Joe Flacco on the road against Pittsburgh. Yeah, I'm really, I'm kind of into Joe. I told you I had an irrational belief in Joe Flacco and Joe Burrell's going to mess it all up. Bo Nix right now is my quarterback 22 on the week. So if you're in a single quarterback league, I would not be playing Bo Nix. I agree. He's playing the Chiefs. Yeah. It's, it will be shocking to me if Bo Nix has a good game. He can run. So there's always the potential to save your week and have a nice big, long touchdown run.

the process says try to find someone else. Louis in Ohio, should I trade Justin Jefferson for Devante Adams? I don't think I would do that. I don't think I would do that. I don't think I would do that. You hope that JJ's just going to be improved in time? I just don't like the Devante injury oblique situation. I think it's a bigger question if he didn't have that. Do you disagree? I mean, I think Jefferson is, you're trying to win this thing, man. Yeah? I don't know. Working it out right now in my head, but I don't know where you guys sit with that one. I think that's very close. I mean, trying to see what the Rams schedule is to finish the season. The Rams schedule is Detroit, Seattle, Atlanta is the. I don't, I don't love that. No, but Adams has been, it's.

It's all, it's touchdowns. Okay. I'm formally answering no. All right. You're going to keep Jefferson. I mean, you have this situation on your team, Mike. I know. I'm thinking through it in my head. If that were offered to me, the Keeper League makes it harder. So I would, our league in particular, I'm going to keep Jefferson. That was today's mailbag.

You missed work yesterday. Yeah. You didn't show up for work. I guess that's the tiebreaker. That's the tiebreaker. That's the tie. That sucks. And you know it. I do know it. Yeah, you do. It's fair.
