The Halloween Show, Trick-or-Trade, Players That Will Haunt You!

they needed to do something. I mean, they're on their way for a playoff run, and they had to add a weapon. But this is interesting because the weapon they're losing or lost was Will Fuller, the field stretcher. Demarius Thomas is not a field stretcher like Will Fuller anymore. Neither was Kiki, though. And I think, I think ultimately. That's why I talked about Vincent Smith, is this, what are they going to do here? But if you look at Thomas as more.

replacing the utility of a Kiki and being a more, you know, obviously healthy established. Look, he wasn't doing anything in Denver. So I don't think it's necessarily a downgrade when you think about the expectations of what you had. Last three games for Demarius Thomas, three for 30, five for 40, three for 50. Do I think he can catch five balls a game with the Sean Watson? I do. And so what is your expectation? Two-three fringe guy? I think that's possible.

especially the way teams rotate covers to DeAndre Hopkins. This also could, and I'm not saying it is, but we see moves like this happen that are good indications of other players who are injured not being as close as we all hope. So it could be one of those things where they know Kiki's a ways out. Kiki might not be back for several weeks, and they have to have another wide receiver. But it was a smart move for both teams. The Eagles have acquired wide receiver Golden Tate.

That's huge. Wow. From the Lions in exchange for a third round pick, they've also restructured the Lions have Marvin Jones's contract. And this is kind of an interesting move overall, right? I mean, Golden Tate has been a centerpiece of the offense. And, you know, 26% of all targets in Detroit. 27. 27. 28. You're talking about Golden Tate? Yes. Yeah. I had him down as a 27% target share. So that's just a massive amount of target. So you look at.

You know, it's very similar situation as what we just talked about, where you remove a big piece. I'll tell you this. And Marvin Jones and Kenny Goliday. We're going to be talking about one of those guys in the main segment of this show. Which one? We'll be talking about one of these guys. We're not going to dive too far into the line. Let's talk about it is, it's eerily similar as far as who it helps and hurts because I think I think Golden Tate owners have to be sad.

Yes. You're going from a rapport where you are a 90 and 1,000 guy for the last three years with Matthew Stafford. Now you switch teams midseason. Sure, maybe you get a quarterback upgrade if you believe Wince is better, but you are, honestly, now you're downgrading. You're going from being the one or maybe the two in certain games to you're the...

You're the three now because Zach Ertz and Aljan Jeffrey are the one too. I do think that Golden Tate will have some good games for the Eagles. Certainly hurts Nelson Agalore. I believe that, you know, this is just another receiver to take targets away from Aguilar. It wasn't like you were already banking on Aguilar, though. It eviscerates Jordan Matthews, though. It does. It does. Say goodbye. And on the other side, look, Marvin Jones's role.

becomes more secure from a target standpoint. He had only surpass 60 yards one time in the first six games this year. And Kenny Galladay had the breakout first four games. So to me, after the breakout week for Marvin Jones this past week where he had seven catches and 117 yards, two touchdowns, how do you feel about Jones? I mean, spectacular. Yeah, as do I. And then Kenny Galladay, more opportunity for him. So.

Very interesting. Very interesting trade. And then some other moves. Time Montgomery, if you want to fumble, get out of town. The Ravens acquired. Time Montgomery from the Packers in exchange for a 2027-down pick, which is the same as a bagful of double bubble. Yeah. I think the bagful, they would have accepted that, but it just wasn't offered. This is, I mean, insane. You're basically cutting the guy. Except you get a pick.

a worthless pick two years from now. I mean, they are punting him. And it's a great situation for the Green Bay Packers, running backs. Now you've got a two-headed monster instead of a three-headed monster. I think Aaron Jones is looking mighty good. He looks fantastic. Especially since now with Ty Montgomery out, their upcoming games are with teams that are going to score. And it's going to be high-scoring. Green Bay is going to need to score. They're going to be passing the ball. Aaron Jones has been great.

in that role. And that was, you know, Tom Montgomery, he was a wide receiver. So he was always on the field in those situations. Now he's gone. And then on the flip side, Buck Allen, Alex Collins, it just, you know, muddies the water. Maybe this is replacing Kenneth Dixon saying, okay, he's not going to come back off the IR. But you can't be happy. Terrible for all decisions for Baltimore running down. Yes.

I mean, you don't acquire a guy you don't want to use. And maybe it's special teams for the majority of it and rotating it for Buck Allen. They saw what he did on Sunday. They said we got to get some of that. The bills have agreed to terms with Terrell Prior. Oh, Terrell Prior. Do we do we know the position they have agreed to terms with? It should be quarterback. It should be. It 100% should be quarterback. Derek Anderson's not going to play on Sunday. He'll be out with concussion.

It's going to be Nathan Peterman because Josh Allen has been ruled out. He is not throwing yet. The bills are, they're in trouble. You saw it this past week when they wanted to go, they not wanted, they went. They're going full wildcat on a bunch of snaps, throwing out every trick they possibly could to beat the Patriots. If there is. You now have a legit wildcat quarterback just, and don't even give them a playbook.

Just say, okay, Terrell Pryor, take a snap and do something really cool. Yeah. You remember seventh grade? Do that. You remember playing for the Raiders? Do that. I think he has the longest touchdown run by a quarterback in NFL history. Yes. He's a great athlete. That would be cool. And if for any. He's going to play wide receiver though. Would you, so in truth, would you be willing to take a flyer waiver wire pick on Terrell Pryor in the hopes that they do utilize him from Wildcat and he just touches the ball more?

No, I wouldn't. That would be... I've got too many priorities as a fantasy owner at this stage of the season. Too many things I'm thinking about. Too many... Basically what you're saying is if you're chasing Terrell prior, that's... You're in a bad situation. You're in a dark place. Your boat is already upside down. You know what? If you're one and seven... You can come to my cabin and hang out with me. If you're one and seven, you should do that just for something to distract you.

Something to pay attention to. Also, news on AJ Green's toe. At least one report from the Cincinnati Inquirer says that he will, quote, be fine and that the boot he was wearing is precautionary. They do have the buy week. It's just good timing for fantasy owners in that respect. So we'll find out what happens. And then maybe I have a receiver to throw to. You know what I mean? You got Boyd. Yeah, I like AJ the most.

All right, we're going to get in to pump the brakes and then a special Halloween segment of the show. Before we do that, we want to thank PubG Mobile. Yeah. Oh, baby.

Make a completely free account and make sure when you sign up, you let them know that you heard about them from the Fantasy Footballers podcast. I have a follow-up real quick. Okay. Sean McDermott was asked about Terrell Pryor playing quarterback. Oh, yes. He did not dismiss it. He says the sign...

the signing of Trell Pryor, and it's all about the bill's current situation at the position. Terell Pryor. If you could look, Pryor's, he's not going to be the full-time QB. He will get a handful of snaps at the quarterback position. And throw some passes. Yes. And some interceptions. Well, maybe. No, maybe. He did this for a while.

In Cleveland, right? When he was making the transition in Cleveland, he took some Wildcat snaps, he threw a few passes. And he was valuable for fantasy there. And look, it's always nice. I mean, if you could ever play a quarterback in a wide receiver slot, then you would do that. So, I mean, he's going to be a wide receiver in your platform. Still, he's going to have to throw to himself. Chasing after Terrell Pryor is, hey, it's Halloween. Spooky.

All right, well, you know what? It's Wednesday, and it may be Halloween, but we also have to pump the brakes. Oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly. O'Reilly. I think we did that better than Andy, Jason, and Mike have ever done that. I agree. I'm pumping the brakes on Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement because I believe that Josh Adams will become the man.

or at least the man most dependable in that backfield in Philadelphia by the season's end. He's the better, bigger, stronger running back. And while I know that they can kind of lean on Smallwood right now, I don't think that's where they want to be. And Corey Clement, not enough snaps. I think you've got to pump the brakes with your viewpoint. First of all, on Clement. Look, I've got him in a couple leagues. I hope for better things. It's not coming. And when I watch the tape,

He moves his legs a lot. He ain't going anywhere. And then Wendell Smallwood, right now the volume's there where you can flex him. I'm not saying that you can't. But I think the transition's coming. So if there's opportunity to move him, if there's opportunity to protect yourself by picking up Josh Adams, I think that's what you do. I'm pumping the brakes on that backfield overall because it's just hard to predict, unfortunately. Yeah, you never want to be in a backfield with three running backs. That's why I'm not quite as high on Josh Adams. But I agree. He...

has looked the best of the three. And I don't have any problem pumping the brakes on Smallwood and Clement. I'm pumping the brakes on Alex Collins, speaking of three headed running back by committees. Now, I had this in here prior to the trade for Ty Montgomery. So this is an even more aggressive pump. Two pumps. Double up. Alex Collins.

He's going to be in a low-scoring, possible low-scoring divisional game. The Pittsburgh, Baltimore games, they're not always the fun, explosive offensive outputs that you want to see. But Alex Collins has been very touchdown dependent this season. He already has five touchdowns on the season, which has really rescued some of his games where it's like, ah, he was pretty good, even though he was ineffective on the ground. Pittsburgh.

is the second toughest matchup right now against running back, specifically because they've only given up three touchdowns on the ground at all, like to running backs at all, not just the star, but through the whole team. That's eight weeks, only three touchdowns. I don't see this being an Alex Collins touchdown probability game, so I'm pumping the brakes on him, especially now with Buck Allen and Ty Montgomery, maybe mixing in.
