Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 9 Keep/Trade/Cut, Pump the Brakes, Devin Scrumptious

running back positionally. He's not as versatile, but he's a better running back. If Aaron Rogers was starting, it would be easy to just by a hold. But because you mix bad offense with, here's what we do know. Tom Montgomery will never have the job by himself, Sands, an injury to somebody else. It's fair. And the offense isn't very good. And that's what he had over everyone else in the league, Ty Montgomery. He was getting, you know, that 95% snap count. It's hard to let go, though. Yeah, it is.

All right, so 1B, T.Y. Hilton, he is an absolute 100% trade to me. He still has a name and has the big games where I think you can get something for him, especially in package deals. And I don't want Ty Montgomery on my team, unless it's a dynasty or a long-term keeper. I do not want Time Outgum around my team. I don't want to be tempted to start him for those games. You mean T.Y. Hilton? Yeah.

Yes, sorry, T.Y. Hilton. I don't want to be tempted to start him. It's TY and Ty, so I understand that, the mistake. I took out the, or I took out the decimals, periods. You took out the decimals. Don't you know the Dewey Decimal system? So I don't want him on my team because I don't want to be tempted to play him. You're going to end up with 1.5 points, two out of three weeks. Check this out. Okay, so we got Houston coming up for Hilton. Have we double-checked this schedule here?

All that, but I'm. All right. So in two weeks, Pittsburgh. No, thank you. Bye week. That's three strikes. You're out. Okay, Tennessee. All right. Hey, go hit a home run. Jacksonville, Buffalo, Denver, Baltimore, Houston. Whoa. No, thank you. Hey, if you hold T.Y. Hilton, then you get in four weeks, you get a good game. Maybe. Because 75% of the time he plays right now, it's single digits. Yeah. Two good games out of eight this year. Trade them.

But trade him and you're going to have to take less. He's been single digits for three days. If you can't trade him, are you trying to to Super Mario cart drop that banana into your waiver wire and see if someone slips on it? That is frightening. I think you can always trade. Clicking the drop button on T.Y. Hilton is terrifying. If I saw Hilton on the waiver, I go, you're picking him up. There's T. Y. Hilton. Yeah, that's, I mean. Yeah, but there's an opposite side of that.

I mean, if the guy picks him up and he has a blowup game, you're going to be like, I drop T.Y. Hilton. Exactly. So are you willing to play? I'll just trade him for pennies on the dollar. Yeah. And one of the easiest ways to trade him for Nelson Aguilar? Yeah, I think I would rather have Aguilar. I would too. One of the things you could do, because you're always going to be able to pick someone up off of the waiver wire is you take a look at your roster and you say, okay, I've got Isaiah Cruel, right? And maybe I can.

Just improve Isaiah Crowell. If you like Alex Collins more, you like someone a little bit more, and you say, I want to, you could package Ty Hilton with that guy and just upgrade the other guy that you're getting rid of a little bit as opposed to dropping them, free up that roster spot, pick someone up off of waivers. That's the way I like to get rid of dumpster fires. Good, good. Key trade cut. Don't put out a dumpster fire with a bucket of fire. No. We've learned that. Science is prevalent on the show and are decimals.

Javorious Allen, Buck Allen, he's a big old trade to me. I want to move him and I want to move him quick. He is 100% of trade. Alex Collins flashing. Javarie Allen's share, which is what gives him value, is going down. Unlike T.Y. Hilton and Ty Montgomery, where their arrow has just pointed to the ground, you still have value in Buck Allen.

Buck Allen, you know, is getting in the teens carries. His workload has not gone away. You can trade Buck Allen for something good and you should because I agree Alex Collins has taken over the primary role based on what we saw last week and Danny Woodhead is coming back. This is a situation that's going to get bad. He's 100% trade for me. I agree, Andy. Mike, he's, I don't think you have to trade him. The Danny Woodhead situation certainly throws a wrench and I, when my.

My gut reaction was, oh, you got to keep him. The Woodhead coming back certainly affects things. But he's, even with Alex Collins being the better running back, he's still getting a bunch of touches. You know, 17 carries last week, even with the Collins domination, the week before that, six but eight receptions, 13 total touches the week before that. So he's still getting opportunity. That's why you're going to be able to get value. Yeah, so I'm, I'm okay getting ahead of that curve with Woodhead coming back.

Sammy Watkins, keep trade cut. Redraft League. I am still keeping Sammy Watkins. I believe in the talent. I'm willing to cut him. I'm willing to cut him too. Oh, this. You guys, unknowingly, you just cut. No, I know. I knew what I was doing. In the arm with a knife. I just felt the slice. Shame on you both. Here, Jason. We'll play. I'm playing on your houses. Well.

We'll play the game. He gets the Giants this week, but luckily for Watkins, Janoris Jenkins being disciplined by the team. But then Houston at Minnesota, the Saints, Patrick Peterson. I mean, those are his next four matchups. Did you avoid calling them the Cardinals? They're the Patrick Peterson. When I'm talking about number one wide receivers, they are the Patrick Peterson's. All right. You're going to, are you going to play him in any of those matchups?

I believe the talent of Sammy Watkins and the fact that unlike, so T.Y. Hilton, super talented, right, but does not have a quarterback that can get him the ball. The difference here is that I believe that the quarterback doesn't want to get him the ball. I think that they don't have that rapport yet. And as the season goes on, I think it will come because talent will win out. It's gone down. He's hitting the bricks. He's hitting the road. He's not even going to be on this team next year. He peaked in week three. And since then.

17 yards 0 11 yards. Ooh, 42. Thank you. That's a reverse rapport. Yeah. No, I get, I get the argument to cut them. I just, you know, some guys, you just can't let go. Some guys, Sammy Walker. That's fine. I don't know how to quit you. I don't know how to quit you. It's a keep. 100% keep. Okay. The touches are there. Yes. Keep trade cut. Wendell, small wood. He's a cut for me. Big time cut. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, with the Jai you coming to town. Yeah. A Jai Blunt.

No way. He's, yeah, you just put the big hook and pull him right off stage. Vodville style. Yeah, the Vodville style. Tariq Cohen, keep trade cut. Everybody, every week, everybody wants to ask me, do I start blank or Tariq Cohen? And my answer thus far has been. Blank? Yeah, blank. Except for this last week, you got the weird goal line carry. I don't want to start Tari Kohn. No, I don't really either. I think Tari Kohn is still a guy that you can get value for in trades because.

of what he did early in the season and some of the, you know, the touchdown this last week. So if you can get something for him, I would. How do you have a player? Just a rookie, a rookie running back explode in the NFL those first few games and then not figure out how to get him further involved. It's ridiculous. In the last two weeks, he's had six combined.

touches. That's ridiculous. And I'm with you guys. At this point, you've got to move on from Cohen because John Fox and Mitchell Trubisky just like, eh. It's a totally different situation than it was early in the year when he was succeeding. He's a special teams guy predominant. Here's an important one. Keep trade cut Will Fuller. What? I think that's a super important question. You think it's important because trader keep. Obviously, you're not cutting Will Fuller. Okay. Yeah, because it's do you cash in on the number one?

Point per game, fantasy wide out. My gut. Who's so touchdown to Benin. My gut 100% says keep. I want him on my team. He has a keep to me. However, I have seen this last week trades on Twitter. Genuine questions. People saying, hey, should I trade Will Fuller for, you know. Who do they mean you in a dark alley? Yeah, that's exactly. Hey, bro, over here. Got any of that Fuller?

And it's trades where it's like Will Fuller and a garbage running back for DeVant Freeman. This is not a question. You've got to make the trade. So I will say the importance of the question is you should shop Will Fuller to see if you're getting the crazy value. If you can turn Will Fuller into a high volume reliable receiver or any kind of studly running back, I would do that. In good leagues, you probably can't.

But I would at least shop him. But he's worth having. Mike, you got outbid on Kenyon Drake. I saw. By $1. Yeah. By your opponent this week. Yeah. I already messaged him. I said, Josh, tip of the cap. He played the game where you make, you check your opponent. How much fad do they have? Do they need to make a move? So, I mean, that was a great fantasy football move by Josh. And I also want to share a. This is the biggest man I've ever seen you be. A special shout out here to Charles Clay.

for being marked out the minute after waivers ran. Thanks, Charles Clay. And you say that because Charles Clay was on your bench, couldn't get moved to IR because he was a Q. No, he was a D. He was a doubtful. Oh. So now he's, maybe you need to thank ESPN for that one. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, everyone. All right. I really appreciate it. Let's talk about Charles Clay's team. He is out tonight, by the way. Thursday night football. He's out tomorrow, actually, as well when they actually play. All right, Thursday night football, the bills, the jets. He's out forever.

Tyrod Taylor absolutely love him as a start this week. He's my stream of the week. I tried to buy him on waivers. I did not acquire him on waivers. Did my best. LaShawn McCoy locked and loaded. What do you do with Calvin Benjamin? You're willing to start him week one against this Jets 20th ranked pasty? If you're a team that's been relying on Kelvin Benjamin and the options behind him on your team are rough, I'm still willing to play him.

I'm not expecting huge things, but I do think that he is an upgrade for that team, and I would expect Tyrod to at least go, hey, let's go, bro. Let's get at least a few receptions going here, which, you know, that could be a touchdown. Yeah, I mean, you're hoping for the touchdown or you're hoping for the long bomb. I mean, you're expecting probably three receptions, which is a guy that you're not going to want to start. So unless you've got garbage.

on your team. There's always a point with these guys where it's like, okay, my other options are worse and then you can make a start. But in general, I would very much like to look elsewhere. This is not only is it a new team, but it's a new team in a crazy short amount of time, short week. I'd like to look elsewhere. But his best play is being big. That's always true. And he can be big in Carolina or in Buffalo. Any team. He can be.

Big. Yeah. It's a large man. Can you imagine him with Brock Osweiler? Oh, man. They would just throw it on a line way up here and you just, you don't have to jump. All these little quarterbacks. I would hire that tannels to paint the trim on my house. Oh, yeah. I would do that. I would hire them quick. Two store even. They just go shoulders. Yeah. Imagine. Imagine that. Do you have vaulted ceilings? Not a problem for Brock and Kelvin.

We don't need ladders. That's why we're so much cheaper. That's their sales pitch. All right, Josh McCown, you're willing to play him today against this Bill's D? They're not great against the pass. I am willing. I am willing to stream him. I don't expect him to be great. But, you know, if you're looking in a two-quarterback league, I think he's going to be all right. He's at home. The Bill's defense has been pretty good.

But Josh McCown, if you look at his last month, he has been good as well. Is he rule 15? When he's healthy, you play? No, when he's healthy and able. Oh, when he's healthy and able. I'm not making an official rule. Brooks says no. But okay, so here's, I'm going to throw out some names. This is my money league. So just to see who's available. Asking for a friend. No, no, I already know who I'm playing. All right. But this is what's available on the waiver wire if you were to stream. Josh McCown. Jacobi Brissette.

against Houston, Andy Dalton against Jacksonville, Brock against Philly. So far as Josh McCown by a mile. That's what I'm saying that your waiver wire, if it looks similar to mine, you might be playing Josh McCown. Forte and Powell take on the bill's third ranked run defense. What are we doing there? You're hoping that Josh McCown passes them a ball? Yeah, it's really tough. So Forte still over Palms? Yeah, I would. Yeah.

I prefer Forte, yes. Yeah, I think I prefer Forte as well. Perfor him. I prefer five him. I preferte. I put it all together. But last week, Belal Powell had 14 carries to Matt Forte's four carries. Sure. The lead back was Powell. And because this is a short week, I don't know that the health is going to turn around. I think I no longer preforte. Oh, I preferl.

The prefer Blal Powell. Oh, I had to put those together. Cut the mic, Brooks. Germain Curse or Robbie Anderson tonight if you need one. Robbie. Robbie's been on fire. Robbie. It's so funny because I feel like I was making an argument. Wait, hold on. Is Jermaine Curse even? No, I thought Curse was suspended. No. I'll confirm. I'm thinking it's Curly. Oh, Curly. Okay. I apologize. Germain Curse. I was making the argument for Robbie Anderson like two weeks ago, and you guys were talking about how much you loved Germain Curse.
