Fantasy Football Podcast for Week 5/6

Where's he from? Let's see. He's from Pittsburgh. So we've got... Is this a trade question? Yes, yes. It's a trade question. So it's a big trade. Big trade question. Calvin Megatron Johnson and Hopkins from Houston. Who's been hot. Yeah. We're hot for Hopkins. DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Johnson for Steve Smith, Niles Paul, and Rashad Jennings. Do you do that deal? If you are the Megatron Hopkins owner, do you...

Trade those two guys for Steve Smith, Niles Paul. No, Niles Paul. Neither do I, by the way. I mean, Hopkins has been great. And just for the other side, Steve Smith, too, has been very strong. I don't, I think he kind of tailors off. I don't think he can keep up the pace. Niles Paul is going to lose his job to Jordan Reed most likely. As soon as this week probably. It might be this week. It might be next week. However, Jordan Reed.

likes to get hurt, and Rashad Jennings is already hurt. So this is a bunch of... Yeah, a bunch of injured guests work to be done. Probably stay pat. The best player in the deal is Calvin Johnson. I usually like to have the best player in the deal, so I'm going to keep Calvin Johnson. I like it, yeah. Keep your best players and then sign some good ones off the waiver wire. All right, we got one last question from Jason. Jason did not put a location.

So we will... Jason from the web. We'll put him in a cave. A cave. Jason from a cave. Jason from a cave under the earth. That's why he needs our help. Which is surprising that he has Wi-Fi signal down there. But he has asked, should I trade Pierre Thomas for Kendall Wright? Now, talk about two sell high guys. That's Pierre Thomas? I wasn't sure when I saw this email whether it was Pierre Carson. No, it's Pierre Thomas. Would I trade Pierre...

Thomas for Kendall Wright. No, I like Pierre Thomas. I think Pierre Thomas is deceptively valuable in fantasy football because he is a guy that can go out and give you a boom game and he generally catches enough passes if you're in a half PPR or PPR league to be relevant. Now, if you're... Here's something to factor in. The Saints are on by this week. Let's say you need to win this week. The Saints are on by you need to win. Well, I think it's close enough where you can make that deal if you need to.

Okay. Yeah. To answer that question. If you're filling out a flex position and you've got to get a guy to start, sure. Yeah. And I like Pierre Thomas, but he's just, he is so inconsistent. Mark Ingram's coming back from his hand injury, allegedly right after the by week. What does that do with his cadet back to the bench? Or does cadet keep playing? Do they have four running backs now? The Saints care less about your fantasy team than Bill Belichick.

Which is hard to do. We're on to Cincinnati. That was my... We're on to Cincinnati. Why are we going to Cincinnati? We're on to Cincinnati. And they were. They were. They were big time. I'm pretty happy with how we've played. I'm pretty pleased. Oh, man. Did you see the... There is a... I wanted to score more points. There's a viral...

viral image going of uh there's a new rob low campaign for direct tv where they've seen that where they don't want you to be the unattractive rob low with the comb over who strikes a strong resemblance to a bill bellichick with the with the few hairs flopping over the top of the head if you haven't seen it look it up it's pretty funny we're on to cincinnati this is how you should do the whole show we're on to cincinnati hey hey and you should

Should I trade Pierre Thomas for Kendall Wright? We're on to Cincinnati. There it is. All right, so let's conclude the show. Like I said, we're the fantasy footballers.
