Hey, Footland, we got a reminder from our friends at NHTSA. If you're ever stopped at a railway crossing, the signals are flashing. Maybe you don't see the train. Maybe it's looking slow. You're thinking, I'm going to sneak across these tracks. Think about this. Even if the engineer sees you and applies emergency breaks right away, it can take the train over a mile to stop. By that time, it's too late. The resulting crash will be deadly. Stop. Trains can't. The Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host.

Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, Jason. Oh, yeah, baby. Welcome in, the fantasy footballers. There is a lot of confused listeners, and there is one very confused host. I don't know if this is good or bad for the Foot Clan because Tuesday, November 3rd, welcome in. Jason, I was concerned, would not really be...

present of mind today because I see him as the show's starting type type type type type type type because he's working on trades for our league of record because you know I made some trades this morning and Jason's got to try to keep up got to keep pace with those teams behind me that are trying to catch me you know so yeah would that mean you're slowing down yes

Oh, interesting conversation piece, Mike. I would not like to keep pace. But apparently, as the show began, I was going to call him out for his absent-mindedness that was on the way. And instead, he fist pumped and he got a trade done. I got the official except the moment that our intro music started. It was fantastic. And it was with someone in this room.

Ooh. Owl Borland. Oh, you sneaky snack. So we'll let the Foot Clan know what I did. I made a trade of a third rounder in next year's keeper draft for Thomas Brady. Okay. Quarterback, I'm trading for a quarterback because I believe that Brady has the chance to go nuclear.

When Godwin comes back, when Antonio Brown is on the field with Mike Evans and Grunk, I think there's a chance he could go full nuclear. I feel great about that trade. Yeah, you're like you were super. As your division mate. Super into 279 and 2. That really did it for you? 279 and 2. Wait, he had Godwin? When's Godwin coming back? Did he have Antonio Brown? Nope.

Okay. Well, I would say that makes a difference. We have a waiver show today. A lot of important decisions to make for your fantasy football teams in your own leagues where you're making your own trades and doing your own thing. And we're going to help you out. We've got the quarterback streamers on today's show as well. Some news to get into. Injury tilt is upon us. And, guys, it's Tuesday. It's a big day because...

the NFL trade deadline is today. There you. Oh, that is a big day. Which is 4 p.m. Eastern. So you could see, I mean, the names that are thrown out there consistently, which means nothing will happen with them probably, is Will Fuller, David and Joku, Golden Tate. Stefan Gilmore has been added to the mix. Yeah. Well, I will say, yeah, you know, like five years ago, all these names would be thrown out and nothing would happen. The last couple of years, though,

Moves have started to be made. Is this a fantasy football related trend in the NFL? Jason studying the precedent as the show opens? Yes. It could be, or teams are wising up that you could trade a low pick in the draft and get a known veteran and make your team better right now. I have no idea what took the NFL so long to figure this out. As opposed to the low pick that has a probability of being good, these players are already good. We're not giving you our fourth rounder.

We've got like a 15% chance to get a starter there. And then it's like, well, no, I don't want to give up a pick and get this guy. What if he walks away and we get a nice compensatory pick for our loss? Yeah. Here's what I will focus on. We've had some discussion on Will Fuller. Would he be successful? You might be speculating about these players and where they are going. Here's what you should be thinking about. Here is the next level 4D chess move for your fantasy league.

What does their absence represent on the team that they're leaving? If Will Fuller leaves, are you suddenly grabbing Randall Cobb from the waiver wire who also could be traded? Or Brandon Cooks. You know, what does the absence of Golden Tate represent for Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard moving forward? Those are opportunities that people don't think about to pick up, you know, and it's the waiver show. So someone like Sterling Shepard will bring up today. Or anger.

My man finally got 10 targets. Oh, man. Nobody looks worse getting 10 targets than Evan Ingram. Even when he makes a great play. That was so athletic down the sideline. Great catch. Running out and bounce. Fantastic. If you could get the ball in his hands and just avoid watching him try to get it there, it's all good, right? He's fast. He's athletic. But it's hard to watch the two or three ugly drops where he tries to catch the ball with his...

the back of his hands. I don't understand. Is it because he's surprised that the ball is there? Yes. We're all surprised. Oh, no, this is as usual. Daniel Jones was summed up in that last drive. I mean, a couple of fourth down, big throws, a couple of a go passes, amazing throw to Golden Tate, late ball to Dionne Lewis, debate whether it's PI or not. The truth is the throw was bad because he didn't.

Throw it earlier. The only reason it was PI was because he threw it behind the guy and the receiver had to basically stop and go backwards into the defender who was playing great defense. Probably shouldn't reward bad passes in the NFL. Even though I think that was technically PI, I think it's probably the best thing to do is to pick up that flag. Yeah, Daniel Jones is the new Mitchell Tribesky. He is not a franchise quarterback. You can see it right now. He will never be a franchise quarterback.

And that's me calling my shot. He'll have his decent games, including this week's six touchdowns now that I've said that. But I don't think there's any chance that he is a legit real quarterback. He looks too lost sometimes. It's like he's guessing with pocket presence. He just scrambles to the right thinking there's people coming from the left. He's running right into an endemicu.

Oh, this is nice. I'll just tackle you. Yeah, tremendous physical skills, but it hasn't come together. And to finish off the recap for last night, you know, you saw Alfred Morris make an appearance, which is never a good sign for your backfield. No. Leonard Fournett took over after Ronald Jones fumbled, which is exactly what happens in this offense because Bruce Ariens, he exists in a universe of either eight out of ten angry.

9 out of 10 angry or 10 out of 10 angry. He only goes down to 8. So when you are on edge, he does go to 11, to be fair. You're right. He does go to 11, which is super dangerous for his heart. It's just shades of pink or red. That's all it is. You just look and say, how red is he right now? Oh, he's just regular, like, royal red. Tomato and tomato for Bruce Harris. A delight on Valentine's Day. Yeah. But you might say, wow, Leonard Fornett has assumed the role.

You are wrong. He could have the role this week. He could also not. And Ronald Jones could have the role and he could also not. Don't fumble if you're either of those guys. I don't think there's clarity in the back field there. The one place that I feel confident in clarity is with the wide receiver that I believe is just the best wide receiver for the giant Sterling Shepard. He's kind of been a Golden Tate-esque.

player right now, or a Jameson Crowder-esque player. You've got eight targets last week, 10 targets this week. The Giants are usually going to be in a game script to need to throw the ball. And while Darius Slayton gets those deep passes that he's, when those connect, those will be bad games for Sterling Shepard because the drive is over and all the fantasy points goes to Slayton. The reality is I think he misses those more than he hits them. And

more often than not. Stirling Shepard is going to be a really solid, not spectacular, but solid fantasy option rest of season. Connor reminds me of what happens in Chicago, where they take three or four shots to Mooney, and Mooney we expect to break out, but they never, Robinson's the one you want to have in that offense. Here's the question mark, and we'll put a bow on this game with it. You talked about Brady. Now, Brady, it doesn't matter.

Who he throws to, he gets the fantasy points. But he completed passes to what looks like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight different receivers yesterday. And that is without Antonio Brown. That is without Chris Godwin. Brady is best when he is kind of receiver agnostic, when he is just willing to throw it to whoever's open, wherever they are on the field, Tyler Johnson getting opportunities, Jaden Mickens getting opportunities.

Grankowski was great again. I will throw that out there. This is three straight weeks with a touchdown, so he's a viable tight in. But is it going to be very difficult to predict which week is the Brown week, which week is going to be Godwin coming up? Evans got into the end zone. Without that play, it's a dud week. Tyler Johnson showing up. It's tough because Antonio Brown is such a wild card at this point in my head of we've seen him one time.

with Tom Brady. It was off the street. It was limited snaps. And Antonio Brown got a whole bunch of targets. Now, they kind of talked at length on the broadcast of how Tom Brady was the one who was actively campaigning for Antonio Brown to go to the Patriots. And we know that he actively campaigned for him to go to Tampa Bay, despite Bruce Arians.

going Hufflepuff with his chest. This is my team. I made the best decision for the team that says nothing to do with Tom Brady, nothing to do at all. Did he mean to throw Hufflepuff out there? I did. Huffle and Puffling. Okay. It was a Harry Potter reference. That's right. The Hufflepuffs are secretly mean. This is what people don't. I did not know that. That's the weakest of the houses. Yeah. It's a big secret. That's what you think. That's what you think. But once Antonio Brown is there, if he, if he's still.

anything resembling Antonio Brown, he will be the one that is open. I think that Mike Evans doesn't get a bunch of targets because he's never wide open anymore. He wins the contested catch, but Antonio Brown is going to be wide open all the time, and he might emerge as the top target. Now, does that mean eight receptions or four? That I have no idea. I'm coming around.

on the consistency potential for for brown especially with godwin's re-injuries and right evans is just not there's something about the evans brady connection that's not you know what it was with jamis yeah i think he's evans is used to just a ball 40 feet in the air giving him a jump ball situation and coverage doesn't matter um and brady's like get open

And when Evans was open, Brady missed him on that deep shot. Yeah, you're always going to have that chance. I mean, that's the nice thing. And anything else from the game last night that you guys want to mention before we move on to news? The offensive line for the Giants looked a little bit better than it had. And Wayne Galman was better than expected against this Tampa Bay defensive line. He wasn't great. But if, you know, if Devonthe Freeman comes back,
