Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - AFC East, Josh Gordon News, Keep/Trade/Cut

All right. I'm going to look at the next keep trade cut here. Okay. Here we go. All right. So Ben Rothersberger. I was just curious how the dynasty comparison with the quarterback situation compares because Rothersberger is 34. Palmer's 36. Brady's 38. So I think you got a couple years there based on Aryans being in Arizona to not only find a quarterback, but have two years of proficiency with Palmer. Yeah. I mean, hopefully that happens.

The reality is those extra two years of age between Palmer and Big Ben, that's huge. I mean, that's two years of prime that will be gone from Carson. All right. Michael Belton, good cousin of Michael Bolton. That's how it works, right? Cousins, you change one letter in the last name. Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, Des Bryant. Say that again. Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen. Mike Evans. Mike Evans. Des Bryant. But not as much as Des Bryant. So Des Bryant.

would be my keeper. I think I've said this recently. I can't remember if it was on our Join the Foot Mailbag show. But Des Bryant, man. Mike posted a picture. You can't get over that video. I can't get over it because I just didn't think Des was going to be in shape and healthy this early because of the foot injury he's been rehabbing from. But he's in shape. All right. Keep trade cut. Keenan, Mike Evans, Des Bryant. Keeping Des Bryant for sure. And I believe Keenan Allen is being drafted ahead of Mike Evans.

So I'm going to drop Mike Evans and keep Keenan. I'm going to keep Mike Evans for the long term. I'm going to keep him. Are we doing this in dynasty? I mean, if we're talking long term, if this is a dynasty question, absolutely I'm going Mike Evans. Yeah, I mean, I guess whenever I say the word keep out loud, I think of that as keepers. Yeah, I'll stick with what you said. Des then, if we're not going to frame it that way, then Dez, I will trade. Yeah, I'll trade the higher guy. And I.

I think we have to put, you know, when you say keep and keepers and dynasty, we have to put that in perspective because I think the majority of our listeners are redraft listeners, and I think that there is a huge chunk that playing a keeper league, but not a dynasty league. And those are so different because in a keeper league. You're far too mathematical with your analysis here. This is not meant to be an ADP. Okay, on our rankings, we would take Des Bryant and then this is not ADP. Sure. But I'm making a distinction here for our listeners.

When Andy says, you know, a keeper, if this is a keeper league, I'm still taking Des over Mike Evans. That extra few years of youth is not going to make my decision. I'm taking the better player. In a dynasty, it's completely different. You have your whole team forever. At Yakinbeak, keep trade cut, Lacey, C.J. Anderson, Melvin Gordon. That's a tough. Eddie Lacey, C.J. Anderson, Melvin, Gordon. All right, I'll answer this one first. I'm going to...

I'm going to keep C.G. Anderson. I'm going to trade Eddie Lacey. I'm going to cut Melvin Gordon. I'm going to keep Eddie Lacey. I think he's got the best offense. Trade C.J. Anderson, cut Melvin Gordon. So together we have cut Melvin Gordon. Yeah. And I like Melvin Gordon this year. In this situation, gun to my head, which is how this is. This one is a perfect example of like sometimes people say, well, what are your tiebreakers? Do you look at strength of schedule? I look at offense. That's one of the more important things to me is.

Who's got the better quarterback? Who's got the better offense? And that's going to be Green Bay. All right. Keep trade cut from Big Benjamin. Dionne Lewis, Lamar Miller, C.J. Anderson. Well, I'm keeping and his PPR. So I'm going to keep Lamar Miller. Yeah. I'm going to cut Dionne Lewis and C.J. Anderson because Lamar Miller's so good. I don't even need to trade. Of course, yeah. Yeah, I'll go ahead and I'll trade C.J. Anderson.

and I'll have to cut Dionne Lewis. And a full point PPR. It's funny. I love Dionne Lewis and I think he'll be great this year. And I could see him like burning hot in the NFL for a couple years and just kind of like not being involved a lot for years to come. I don't know why. I don't have a lot of trust in Dionne Lewis. Yeah, that's the problem. All right. Last one here. At the F. Foller's tweet from Eric P. Dynasty keep trade cut. So he's asking in a dynasty for that. Josh Ferguson, Keith Marshall, Wendell, Smallwood.

So you got Josh Ferguson, the backup for the Colts, old man Frank Gore there. You got Keith Marshall, backup for Matt Jones. Yeah. For Matt Jones. And Widdell Smallwood back up for the Eagles. Wendell Smallwood sucks as a football player. I don't know why you're so, like, pronounced with that. I know. I'm sorry. Hey, Mike said that about Devons Freeman and then had to issue an apology. You're exactly right. So, hey, I don't like Smallwood that much. I just think, honestly, if I had to keep one of these, it's Wendell Smallwood. Really? It is.

Because I don't think Ryan Matthews is going to be in Philadelphia forever. And I don't think Darren Sprouls is going to be into Philadelphia forever. Josh Ferguson, I'd love to make him my pick, but he's an undrafted guy who is unproven and I don't buy into the hype. But Andy, they wanted to draft him in the fourth round. Yada, yada. And Keith Marshall's behind Matt Jones. I think Keith Marshall's definitely the guy for me. I think he's the most talented of these guys. I just think the opportunity is going to be there for Smallwood to produce in PPR more than Marshall will.

My keep is Keith Marshall because I think he is the most talented of the three guys. And I think there's a, I can see a path where Matt Jones goes out. There's just nobody else there. And if Matt Jones goes out and stinks like he did last year and can't get the job done, if Keith Marshall can, then he's got an easy path to high success. All right. Well, that is it for today's show. Hopefully you could, you didn't miss Mike too much. I know we didn't.
