to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Ah, welcome in. Wednesday, November 4th, the fantasy footballers podcast. We've got a great show for you today. We are going to discuss some trades, which really means rest of season outlook for a number of players.

That's kind of important when you evaluate trades in your league before your league's deadline. It's time to make the moves that will secure the wins heading into the playoffs, secure that playoff, secure that playoff roster as well. You want to put your team into a real hyperdrive. Not to be confused with an Adam Gase hyperdrive. Very different.

technologies used in those one of them is completely lacking an engine yes it's just a shell it's a shell um that resembles the Peyton Manning's greatest season no the truth is is it's uh I made some trades in our league of record we all did yesterday we all did and you know it comes down to obviously how you view the rest of the season how long injuries are going to take

I believe I replied to your comments on one of my trades as gamble time. I mean, you are making judgment calls now that will either pay dividends or they won't. And this is the time to look at end of season schedules. We have eight weeks of football. We know what defenses are doing. We know what weather is doing to some degree. And we can see.

The future. To some degree. No, I agree completely. We talk about in draft season how little we look at things like playoff matchups and schedules because defenses that we're supposed to be good or bad and bad or good. You don't know, but now you start looking ahead to those week 13, 14, 15, 16. Who's got the great schedules? Who am I going to try to target?

Yeah, like when you see Alan Robinson plays Detroit, Houston, Minnesota, Jacksonville for the last four weeks of the year. Oh, brother. And their team did nothing to acquire another wide receiver at the trade deadline. He may be a target for someone. Yes. But it'll be a fun show as we break those down. We are going to preview the Thursday night game. Find out what running backs remain for either team. Wait, are you going to tell me? I'm going to throw it to Jason.

Jason. Excellent. I can't wait to hear your analysis. Is this because, so San Francisco has running back issues with injuries. And so whoever they play is that just bestowed upon them. I mean, Seattle last week, the backfield was turned into DJ Dallas. And then they're like, well, look, this isn't fair. I'm not saying that they did any, you know, COVID thing. Oh, no, it's like rogue from X-Men.

Stealing powers. Dexter Williams? I mean, we'll see what happens. And some news to talk about. We had a big injury yesterday that nobody knew about until it happened. I encourage you to follow us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. The Fantasy Footballers.com is the website. A small update for those of you that play DFS. The DFS pass, which many of you enjoy this year. If you do not have it,

We are at the midway point of the season, which means that the price on the DFS pass is, get this, going to be half the price. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know. But we give you playoff weeks. I know. We're not at the halfway yet. This is too good of a deal. Bonus. Thank you, Jason. Yeah, no problem. You must have been a great car salesman back in the day. Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday. I am taking a bath on this. You're putting me out of business. I'm taking a bath. We are losing money.

Don't tell my wife you're getting this product. She's going to be so angry. But it is actually a good deal. And more importantly than the deal is the fact that the past has been killing it so far this year. Yeah. Thanks to our crackpot team. Is that the crack pot? No, not crackpot. We've been over this. Crack. Crack team. There you go. Yeah. Jason threw out crackpot one time. And now I've done it. I think that was you.

I don't think so. I am almost certainly. Check the tape. I think you haven't recoverated from that quite yet. Oh, man. I don't think you were around. Recovery is a real thing. It's a sports energy drink. Yesterday, we created a product based off of a grammatical error. Yes. And it's a real product that already exists. Not a sponsor. Maybe there's a number of crackpots that are great at DFS then, too.

Maybe it was me. Maybe I've done it twice. All right, join thefoot.com is the community. Let's do some buy sell. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction. All right. Jason ran the table last week. Resident crackpot at the buyer sell. Well done. Thank you. You sold Josh Allen as a top 10 quarterback finish. You sold Ronald Jones with 75 total yards. Stupid fumble. And you bought Robert Woods as a top 20 wide receiver. He finished at three. Reluctantly.

Jason wanted to change his answer immediately. Oh, yeah. But he was right. It was too late. Yep. I was locked incorrect. Sometimes your first instinct is the best. All right. Week 9 edition. Oh, this is interesting. I haven't looked at these. So Brooks got them in to the dock. Buy yourself, Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks, both top 24 wide receivers against Jacksonville. Now, when I first read that, my impulse is to sell it. Two of these guys, top 24?

But then I look at the numbers. Week 5 against Jacksonville, they were both top 24 wide receivers. Week 6 against Tennessee, they were both top 24 wide receivers. Week 7 against Green Bay, no dice. But what are you guys doing? And also, Will Fuller is still a Houston Texan. Yeah. He did not get straighted. Apparently Green Bay amongst the.

the brass in Green Bay. They could not agree on the value of Will Fuller. Do we have a take on that? Because I know the impulses to be like, how do you not equip Aaron Rogers with another weapon? But then I look at the, like, facts of the situation where you're not going to pay Will Fuller. He costs money this year and you give up a second for a rental, how it worked out for New England with Mohamed Sanu. I start to wonder, and you get Alan Lizard bag. Is there a benefit really there? I will say this. Will Fuller at this point of his career is.

vastly superior to what Mohammed Sanoo was last year when the Patriots traded a two for him. Will Fuller is a complete wide receiver, but he can also be a specialty wide receiver who, when Lizard gets back on the field, Will Fuller is now the field stretcher. You maybe would have traded a two for him. That sounds like what the price that Houston wanted. And Will Fuller's in a contract year. So if Will Fuller leaves the team and signs a big deal like he's going to do,

If everything hits according to plan, then you would have gotten a third round compensatory pick. It would have been a third round compensatory? If he got a big enough contract, which Will Fuller is going to get a massive contract. Unless he gets hurt. Sure. That's what I mean, according to plan. If I'm Green Bay, I probably would have done it. Pull the trigger. What's troubling for Green Bay now, this is multiple years where they were linked to Robbie Anderson last year. Same thing. They didn't want to trade for him because they wanted to have a second round pick that they.

used to draft AJ Dill. That's the part that's so crazy. You're willing to throw away draft capital in the draft, but not after. Well, I mean, that's because you just have to look at a team and say, well, what is this? What is this team going after right now? This isn't a team that's, you know, in the running now. This is a team that's playing for their future. So that's why they're looking at, you know, Jordan Love, this is his team. And one day, they're going to have enough picks for them. They know they can't win a Super Bowl right now with Aaron Rogers on fire.

This is a sarcastic statement. That is right. Yeah. I apologize to all Packers fans for your team's organization. You might win it anyways. I mean, there is that. But buy or sell? All right. Yeah. Back of the question. Will Fuller, Brandon Cook's top 24 wide receivers against Jacksonville. Andy did mention it. They did this last time. The hard part here is, yes, they can absolutely do it. Deshaun Watson has been playing incredible.

But Jacksonville now will be with a rookie quarterback who we have, was he sixth round pick, Luton, Luton free. Yeah. I'm going to sell. I'm going to sell. It is a really, really tough one. I want to say, well, Jacksonville's not going to be able to keep up. They're not going to score enough points to where Houston's going to continue. I really like David Johnson this week. At the same time, Jacksonville only scored 14 points.

You know, three weeks ago, when they did this against that team, the reality is when you have to pick two players to both finish top 24 or the field, it's a smarter bet to take the field I'm selling with you guys. Yeah, and like my rankings right now has them both ranked inside the top 20. But Jason's right, this is a, a you got a, probability says, I'll take a few. Yeah, I mean, it could be Randall Cobb. It could be Willful and Randall Cobb. It could be Cookson Cobb. I'm still very excited to play both of them. All right.

I agree. Marvin Jones at Minnesota. Is he a top 24 wide receiver this week without Kenny G? Now, we've been here before. Sure. It didn't work out well for those of you that threw Marvin Jones into your lineup in the beginning of the season. So ball's going to get distributed around. Marvin Hall, Marvin Jones, Amandola, Seafis, Hawkinson, Swift. I'm going to sell it. I don't think he's a top 24 wide receiver this week.

Go ahead, Jay. Yeah, it's a really tough line. The two games that we saw without Kenny Galladay in the beginning of the season where we thought, okay, Marvin Jones should be safe. He was pretty bad, you know, seven fantasy points, 10 fantasy points. That first week was Chicago. I think because of the matchup here with Minnesota, being that it's both divisional and not the best defense, I'm going to buy.

Yeah, I'm with Jason. I'm going to buy as well. Marvin Jones, even with the return of Candy Gallaudet, the last three weeks, he's seen about 17% of the targets, the matchup. I'm playing Marvin Jones as a top 24 guy. I assume neither of you guys think he can do it without a touchdown. Correct. More than likely, yeah. J.K. Dobbins, 75 total scrimmage yards against Indianapolis, buy or sell? Oh, man.

has only allowed two running backs this year above that mark. I will buy. I think J.K. Dobbins arrow is pointing up in a big way. And I think he gets over 75 total scrimmage yards. I'm trying to pull up this stat here I saw yesterday from a good friend of the show, Rich Rebar, talking about J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram. So 52 running backs have at least 50 touches.

J.K. Dobbins leads all in miss tackle rate per touch at 32.7% dead last. Drum roll please. Mark Ingram at 5.7%. So our eyes have not deceived us as we were watching Mark Ingram before the injury and watching J.K. Dobbins. I'm going to buy this because I'm projecting that Mark Ingram will miss another week. It's going to be.

interesting to see then moving forward. Baltimore is a well-run, well-run franchise. Are they just going to keep putting the player who's running in mud on the field, or do we see the timeshare starting to edge towards J.K. Dobbins. But this week, Dobbins, Gus Bus, I'm going to play a ball. Yeah, Gus is not going to be out of the rotation either. That's the thing. You know, you talk about a well-run organization that used Gus Edwards frequently in times when we were like, wait, why aren't we seeing more Justice Hill or more?
