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

But now you're back on Robbie Anderson? Just we're interested in Curse, but Robbie Anderson's, he's on fire. He's on fire. I mean, you look at-A-S-J. Curse has had three receptions in the last two games combined. Robbie Anderson hasn't had fewer than three receptions in that time span. He's got nine over the last two games. Severian Jenkins, especially with the bi-pocalypse is a tight-end one. Okay, let's get into the mailbag.

Mailbag. Mailbag. All right, 470 shows later. It's still funny. If you have a question for the show, you go to the website, D-Fancyfoballers.com, click the submit a question button. You can also dial our voicemail hotline. That is 302464 TFFB. We're going to jump right into a voicemail question. Let's see what you guys think. Hey, boys, this is Jake in Seattle. I got the age-old mixed bag in.

And Morris question, part two. I don't really trust either of them. I have both of them, and I kind of like to ship them off. Who are some good trade targets that might not be flashy names, but people might be buying into the hype of the backups on the Cowboys team? I'm thinking Jerrick McKinnon just because he's on by, but I even think he might be too high of a reach. I those would know what you guys think. Thanks.

What do you guys think? I mean, McKinnon's a great target. The fact that he's on buy could help you get this deal done if you have someone else to plug into that. Would you ship both the backups over? Yes. For McKinnon? Certainly. Yeah, I'd be willing to do that. I mean, if you're not getting a locked and loaded kind of somewhat star, I don't really want to ship them out. If you look, this is going to take you Alfred Morris.

and Darren McFadden, if you've got both, they're going to take you all the way up to the championship game. You'll have, I mean, Zeke would be back week 16. But I mean, that's, that's fine. Like, I want to get to the championship game. The problem is, you need to pick one. Yeah, that's the problem is what if it's a time share. If it's a time share, then what you're going to see is Dallas completely changing who they are and how they've operated with this regime for no reason. I mean, they'll both be involved.

A little bit, but one guy will be the predominant runner here. Of that, I am. Right. I will be shocked. But the thing is that one guy has always been able to be a pass catcher. And allegedly, according to Jerry Jones, Alfred Morris is going to be the primary guy. Wouldn't you rather just have Derek McKinnon locked in loaded? Oh, yes. Yes. I mean, that's what I'm saying. If you can get a star, great. I mean, because then Jerk McKinnon without injury is still there in week 16. Let me throw out a couple names because these are the guys I think you might actually be able to get because I don't think you're going to get.

like a Freeman or Ingram or even a Jordan Howard for that combo. So would you trade them for Alvin Camara? That's a great question. I think I would not. I would. In a half or full? I would. Full point PPR, yes. Duke Johnson. No. No. No. See, I mean, like that's what it. After that, you start getting into just a level of guy you wouldn't even want. Adrian Peterson.

No. I'd rather have the Cowboys. Cowboys. And just to correct you, Jason, he'll be back for week 15. Week 15. Raiders. Yeah, not quite championship week. Thank you, Judge. Assuming, of course, he's suspended, which, by the way, you being a judge, it would be nice if you could shed some very legalese. Technical legal insight on this situation.

Let's take the suspension. Let's get it over with. Oh, you're giving advice. You're like one of those TV judges that has a message. Oh, are we going to get it? Oh, that's so loud. Yeah. Not loud enough. Had the, had the volume up for the, for the mailbag. The old mailbag. Sorry about that, everyone on Earth. Here's another mailbag question. Everyone on Earth.

Yes, I have a trade on the docket right now. Todd Gurley for Crabtree and Alvin Camara. I also have Leonard for Net. Ooh. I could really use the receiver help because I have Demarius Thomas. Thank you very much. You guys are great. Bye. Okay, so he's receiving Crabtree and Camara. That's what it seems like, yes. It's very, very interesting. Because Crabtree right now, I believe, is the wide receiver six. He's actually putting up better points per game than AJ Green, which...

Jason illuminated for me a couple of days ago. Because Jeffrey's a beast. And you have four net. So you don't, it's not like you're shipping out all of your, you know, monster running back asses. And we did run over the, uh, the trick or treat Halloween special of Todd Gurley's fantasy playoffs.

schedule. I would think about if it's a half point league or a full point league, I would do it. I was going to say the scoring format is going to be what makes a difference to me because if you upgrade your wide receiver, the same that you downgrade your running back, you're not actually helping your team. And in a standard league, I think you're going to be downgrading to Alvin Camara quite a bit from Gurley. But if it's a PPR, that downgrade won't be drastic and...

Crabtree will be worth more. So, yeah, I think if you're a standard league, don't do it. If you're getting points for receptions, then I'd pull the trigger. Camara's been very, very reliable. Yes. In any kind of half point or full point leagues. Yeah. In the last three weeks, 10 carries, 9 carries, 8 carries. In half point scoring, he's got that double digits for five consecutive weeks. Who would you rather have rest of season, Camara or McKinnon? McKinnon. McKinnon.

Yeah, they're very similar, though. McCarer. Camara is kind of like McKinnon Light right now with the like 7-8 carries plus the receptions. All right. Joe and Tampa wants to know with Greg Olson returning to practice, would you grab him if he's available before he gets snatched up later? Yeah, I think I would now based on the Kelvin trade. Greg Olson will, you know, take over that Mr. Necessary role. Rest the season question from Jared in Iowa. Who would you rather take? Doug Martin?

C.J. Anderson. Rest of season? Correct. It's got to be Doug Martin. You've got a guy getting the vast majority of work versus C.J. Anderson, as much as I love him and as good a running back as he is, he's in a three-headed timeshare that's killing his fantasy value. Blake and St. Louis wants to know, would you trade Will Fuller for T.Y. Hilton? No. No, I would not. No, but you know what I would do? I would trade T. Y. Hilton for Will Fuller.

Yeah, so good on the other person for offering that trade. That's the kind of trade we were talking about earlier. All right. Jason in Spokane asking for friends. Oh, what? Would you rather have a, uh, who would you rather have in rest of season, dynasty full PPR? Isaiah Corwell or Alex Collins? Wait. So dynasty full PPR. But who do you want rest of season with that in consideration? Yeah, you have to throw the dynasty part out.

But rest of season, I'd rather have Collins. Well, what if you don't throw it out? Do you, I mean... I take Crowell in both circumstances. Coral's coming off of his best week of the year, fantasy production-wise. Collins is going to be in a muddy backfield. Crowell's coming off of a 25-yard touchdown. Correct. That counts for six points. If you want to have that one run change the entire season for Crowell. Crowell's baseline hasn't been death, though.

I mean, Crowell. This was his first game and a half point scoring format where he was double digits of the year and we're pretty deep in. I do agree if it's a dynasty and you care about long-term prospects. I don't think Alex Collins has the same long-term prospects that Crowell has. And let's go ahead and move to Zach in his front office pretending he's working. Straight to the point this week, Alshan underperforming Jeffrey or Buck Allen for the flex spot.

Oh, Jason, you said you would sit Jeffrey this week. So you're Buck Allen? I am Buck Allen. They've got the Tennessee. I am Buck Allen. I am Buck Allen. I am Spartacus situation. Yeah. Look, you're at, you're at Tennessee. They're going to be a great defense to play against. Danny Woodhead's not back this week. Right. So you're still okay. I think you get a little buck nasty and put them in your lineup. Okay.

All right, that is it for today's episode. I do want to remind you guys. This is something really cool coming up. The first annual World Series of Fantasy from our studio sponsor, Draft.
