Start/Sit Decisions + TNF Preview, Buy or Sell - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/20

disgusting rosters end up winning or great rosters that lay an egg. So make a trade, make a maneuver, see if you can. Never aim for a loss. Yeah, I say you've got to drop Cadarius Tony or you can. Well, package trade him. Get something for him. You've got players here that you could trade and get a lot of value, even on their buy week, to maximize, you know, your situation. Yeah. Generally, I agree.

Yeah, you should have to have a full roster. This is a week that I feel like fantasy football, at least in my, you know, trying to search the memory banks, I can't recall a situation where I've seen so many teams have legitimately three-fourths of their roster not available. And to me, maybe you can drop Tony because we don't know how long he's actually going to be out. But if Cadarious Tony is only going to be out one week and you've dropped him,

with what he has shown on the field, you have just damaged your team. Tony is on the verge of a breakout. He barely played. I think he played six snaps, and that turned into three receptions. He is a superstar in the making, and I don't think that that's, if the question is it fair to the league, how is it necessarily more fair for you to just accept your loss, which gives someone a cheaper win? That's part of the problem.

You're giving another team Cadarius Tony, which launches their team into a playoff run. It's an unknown. So to me, I'm not dropping. Fielding a roster, a full roster is not a huge bar to force on your league. Right. In my opinion. Yeah, I mean, you would have to have your entire bench on by to really not be able to. Look, if you were in a playoff race and your opponent.

Your main divisional opponent was playing somebody that didn't field the full roster. You would lose your mind. Yes, I would. But we're also in week seven. And so this isn't a winning in situation where this person's team, like, you can't drop Herbert. You can't drop Thomas. Lamb, I assume that's Michael Thomas. You could drop Michael Thomas. Yeah. I mean, he's still weeks away. And he could very well not come back.

Like the relationship, that's just looking. My point is, this week is insane. Zach Moss? I'm not dropping Zach Moss. I mean, Andy brought this point up, and I think this is important. I'm not dropping Zach Moss to pick up a scrub who's going to get me three points just so I can feel the full roster. You could very well end up. Let's say you drop Cadarious Tony and pick up Dante Bettis. I mean, sad, but, and he goes out and gets you 10 points.

And you get a win that would have been a loss. Sure. If you could trade Cadarius Tony for a for a win for a, you know, you should do that. Like you've got to, you've got to win your weeks to get in the playoffs. So I think that's another another aspect. So I think in the end, ask your league, talk about it, see what your league feels is fair. If we were voting in our league, I would say you've got to set a starting roster. I know that one person.

who is yeah i mean it's it's a tough it's a tough call and we have multiple questions do i just take the loss instagram question from e letty lopez you have another person on the commission side saying what do i do with managers who leave inactive players in their lineup you bring it up now before the week and you you talk about it and you ask for a vote and that way everybody knows what they need to do yeah i i just know that it's really tough to

be on the outside looking into one of those matchups and saying somebody got a free win. That's just hard. Difficult. We have some questions about Tyler Lockett. Let's go to the voicemail. Full PPR, wide receiver two questions. AJ Green, Tyler Lockett, or Tim Patrick. Thank you. Oh, Fireball. Huh? You know, AJ Green, Fireball, Tim Patrick, or Tyler Lockett, you know, Lockett's at the bottom of the list.

He's at the bottom of the list because his basement is the lowest. You can get a goose on Monday night against New Orleans. He's also got a tremendous ceiling. He could one play you to sufficiency. Yeah, he's also the best wide receiver of the three that you just listed. Actual wide receiver. Yes, he is the most talented wide receiver. His situation could be the worst to me. And I can't. I really wish he wasn't here for this. This guy over here?

But it's AJ Green. Oh, no. Why does he get control of the button? You can't play the music for eight hours. I didn't get it. I think if you say his name out loud, it just gross. So you would go, AJ Green against Houston. I would. I think that AJ Green has been somewhat consistent. He's going to get his four or five catches, a chance at a touchdown.

Really, if you, you know, the Arizona Cardinals playing the Houston Texans, right? This is a team where you're going to be able to run on them. You're going to have a lead. They're favored by 16 points. That being said, I don't think the Cardinals are a great running team. You saw last week they were up a ton, and that was like a really successful run version of the Arizona Cardinals, and it wasn't that special. And AJ Green was still fine. And the competition that AJ Green is going to face, he's like, oh, I can beat these dudes. Let's go.

Did you guys see that video I shared with you of him getting off the line for his touchdown? Of course not. You didn't really? No, I really didn't. I don't know what you're talking about, so no. Are you being serious? Yeah, I'm being serious. Oh, no. I missed it. If you look at his touchdown from Kyler Murray last week, like I know we watch him and we're like, oh, this is like so pedestrian. He just runs the same little rowdy and he's big. Watch the play. Watch the touchdown play. I refuse. Okay. You say it's good. You just like to start him. I know.

For the bit. But yeah, I know. He actually got off the line and beat his man. It was like one of those wide receiver things that you're supposed to do. Tyler Lockett or Christian Kirk in a full PPR. I mean, similar question from Instagram. Christian Kirk. It's Christian Kirk. Who to target and trade for Tyler Lockett for. I mean, you're not getting anything for Tyler Lockett. Well, you're getting something. He still has a. You certainly. He still has a big name.

Russell Wilson is coming back. I mean, people are trading for Michael Thomas, who has done nothing and he's going to come back in a little bit. You can get something for Tyler Lockett. So if you are someone out there trying to shop him around, you are not getting... Alan Robinson. You could get that trade to go through for sure. Yeah, but do you want to? The question was, should you do that? I don't care if you can. No.

Okay. No, because I think Tyler Lockett's situation will get better eventually. That's too low. Jacobi Myers. I mean, that's one where I... Do you need him now or do you need him later? Exactly. I mean, your team might be in a situation where you really need help. Also, Lockett doesn't care whether you need them now or later. He's not going to give any points. T. Higgins. Oh, I would definitely trade for T. Higgins. That's a great name because I think he's done very little people. I would trade Tyler Locker for T. Higgins. Would you? Yeah.

You really love T. Higgins. I do love T. Higgins. I think he's a good player. He's been getting the targets. He has also been dealing with the shoulder injury. And I believe in Joe Burrow. I mean, it's not just a T. Higgins thing. It's really a... So you love Tyler Boyd? No, because I think T. Higgins and Jemar Chase just soak up too much. If all three are active, Tyler Boyd is irrelevant to me and to Joe Burrow. See, I'm worried that Higgins and Boyd are just going to be both irrelevant.

on the reg. I guess it's like an AJ Green Christian Kirk thing. Like you have Hopkins and then you have those two guys and you're not going to know which week is better for which one. But Higgins is still at least seeing like a 20% target share in the offense. Don't we have like a really small sample so far? With his injury? Four games. Four games. Okay. Instagram question, Sartzit question, Fireball Jones, Tim Patrick or T. Higgins this week.

That's impossible. I didn't see that. Neither of us saw that question, and it just ends up being the same players. I'm playing Tim Patrick against the Browns on Thursday night. Ask yourself this. Do you need between 11 and 12.5 points? That's right. Then yes. You do. It's valuable. Tim Patrick, Fireball Jones, has been extremely, extremely consistent. You want to see how consistent he is. This last week, he was the wide receiver 25. Yeah.

Two weeks ago. Which I'll take that? Yeah. Off the waiver wire? Two weeks ago, he was the wide receiver 25. Oh, okay. Four weeks ago, he was the water receiver, you guessed at 25. That's where he is. He's like, I'm not a wide receiver two, but I'm a really good wide receiver three. The best wide receiver three out there. Dearness Johnson went for 68 fab in our league. Okay. Just outbitting Mike. You went all in on it. I gave it everything I got. You didn't update with my rhetoric? No. Okay.

Jason, I saw right through me. I have 23. I knew I wasn't in the running. This was not trying to get people down. Don't worry. You got Devanta Freeman. Ooh. He could end up with the better week, to be honest. So just to illustrate how gross it is for my team currently, because I know what you're all going through out there. As of now, I will be starting Jamal Williams and Ramandre Stevenson as my running back one and two.

I will be flexing Ricky Seals Jones. And still on the IR, still on the IR, Rashad Penny. Rashad Penny is in your life. He's just waiting for the old activation. I really can we push that through? Because I need to know that I have a player.

It's funny because this is real. This is how insane this week is. But there are enough of these stories where you are playing somebody who's the story. Right. There are people that are going to be playing two disgusting teams against each other. It's going to be a good time. It's going to be a great time. David on Twitter, should I continue stashing Jeff Wilson through the bym again? Yes.

I mean, if you can, I don't, if you don't have an IR spot, then Jeff Wilson would be someone you have to drop. Yes, agreed. I would prefer to stash Jeff Wilson. If you need a roster spot, he is completely dropable. All right. Bryce in Florida, do you ever pick up a player who might get traded to a better situation at the deadline? For example, Ronald Jones could get traded, O.J. Howard could get traded. Marlon Mac. Yeah. I personally don't. I don't try to. If it's a high.

Yeah, it's hard for a player to transition mid-year and be instantly super relevant. Like the best players don't get to come into those teams that need them and become the best player on the team, right? So even if a hypothetical Adam Thielen got traded, you don't really, and you had a rumor of it, you don't necessarily target Thielen because he could land in a situation where it's worse. Yeah, I mean, I guess with these specific examples, Ronald Jones, Marlon Mac, like Marlon Mac's available on waivers.

and if he gets traded, he is a valuable fantasy asset. He would be someone we would be picking up on waivers because he's going to a team that says, I need a running back, right? They're trading for him, and he would become someone that certainly would be at least a waiver pickup. So if you pick him up a week earlier to get him, it is very similar to picking up a handcuff running back a week earlier. You're probably getting nothing, but you hold on in case it happens. I think that's fine.

I think Marlon Mack is the only name out there that, like Ronald Jones, if he was traded, could actually be really good, because Ronald Jones has juice and is a good running back. But I don't know of any, I don't think Ronald Jones is getting traded. This is a team that values the depth there. They're a Super Bowl contending team. They're not in need of other pieces or trying to ship him out, whereas Marlon Mack, the team and the player both want him gone.

They have agreed to, like, look for trades. So he's the only one that I would be like, okay. But this week on Bipocalypse, you probably don't have a rush spot to burn on Marlon Mc. Yep. Mike, anything to add? Nope, I agree with that. Thursday night breakdown. A reminder to take your Thursday night players out of your flex position, which means on a team like mine, missing some sweet, sweet players this week. Donovan People's Jones climbs into my wide receiver spot. Nice.

Yeah, jealous? I'm jealous. Jealous? Jealous, Mr. Devont of Freeman, De Ernest Johnson over there? Actually, yes. Yes. Donovan People Jones is actually good, and it just takes one play. Yeah, six targets, five targets. It'll be all right. Case Keenom is going to start against Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater is still not officially playing. Vic Fangio believes he's playing. Dealt with, I believe in a foot injury.

Should be out there. But De Ernest Johnson will start. Demetrick Felton will work in. Landry and Beckham may miss. I mean, Landry will miss. And then Beckham might miss. So People's Jones, Hooper and Joku. I mean, we've talked a lot about it on the show already. The Broncos defense is pretty good. The game is in Cleveland, at least, in case Keenham will give them a shot, right? Throwing the ball down the field.
