Fantasy Football - Week 10 Start/Sit + TNF Preview, NFL Trade Reactions - Podcast for 11/5

17:03Jason Moore:On a team that just lost basically their leading receiver in Tucker Craft. It's a long season. Rookies get better as time goes on. And, you know, I think it's a mistake to drop Matthew Golden if he was out there. You know, I've got a roster where I held on to him, and I'm sure when waivers run here for us in an hour, we're going to see Matthew Golden hit a lot of waivers. I would be fine if you've got room to pick him up and still hope. We've seen a few plays that, you know, could have changed how we view him right now, and the season is long. He's sucked so far. And I want to throw out another name.

17:37Jason Moore:This isn't to pick up right now. This is really probably to pick up next week, but just keep on the radar. It's Phil Moffa, honorable mention, seventh-round rookie pick for the Dallas Cowboys out of Clemson. He's a beef boy. He's a 235-pound body. Yeah, sure. He was back to practice. He was seen back at practice. He's been on IR the whole season. He did not have his helmet on, but they're on a bye week right now. I think that when they come out of the bye that they will activate Phil Moffa. They cut Malik Davis as well. The Cowboys did. So as the backup, I don't think Blue is it. Blue's had the opportunity.

18:18Jason Moore:He was a healthy scratch.

18:19Mike Wright:Yeah, he was inactive. Exactly. So just keep it on the radar, deeper leagues, dynasty leagues. That's all I'm saying. Mike, you've got a defense. I do. Sometimes you want to get ahead of things, even though I think that the Ravens DST, they're in play this week. I like J.J. McCarthy. Last week was much better. But just because it was better for McCarthy doesn't mean it was great. And the Ravens defense over the last month, they've allowed just 13 points per game, second fewest in the NFL. They went from who we are targeting to I think they're figuring it out. And if you're looking at, you know, like the Ravens DST as a whole against positions, you're doing it wrong.

18:58You need to be filtering by the last month and seeing how teams are trending. And the Ravens defense is getting it going. Like I said, I think they're in play against Minnesota, but this is more of get ahead of it.

19:09Mike Wright:Do you remember the season in which Denver's defense gave up, what was it, 73 points? Yes, to the Dolphins. Yes, to the Dolphins. And what happened over the second half of that season with that defense? I mean, when you have major health problems like the Ravens have had, you have an offense that didn't have Lamar Jackson that puts you in short fields, and the game script changes completely. The fact that they have the third easiest rest of season schedule is something to put on your radar for sure. And you need to just – you need to be doing this every week. If you don't have a backup option you need to add, you don't have a bunch of injuries, you've got a spot on your bench.

19:44Mike Wright:Throw a second defense on there. Because next week is Cleveland, and then the week after that is the Jets. Yeah, I mean, it makes so much sense.

19:55Jason Moore:Isaiah Davis is now the Jets' third best player on both sides of the ball.

19:59Mike Wright:On both sides of the ball.

20:01Jason Moore:They sold. A three-week run here for a DST in a row is, you should not ignore it.

20:07Mike Wright:They sold and they should have. And I think they did a great job with it. And we'll talk about it in just a second. That was backup option sponsored by Progressive Insurance. Quote today at Progressive.com. We'll take a break. We'll hit the news.

22:37Jason Moore:News and notes from around the league. Presented by Progressive Insurance.

22:44Mike Wright:Well, well, well. The trade deadline, it came and went. Your fantasy league trade deadlines are coming soon. and the trade that got broke on the news or on the show yesterday jacoby myers traded to jacksonville um the final terms that deal jacoby for a four and a six i've seen discussion about them potentially retaining jacoby myers after the season with a new contract seems like you'd want to try you could also see you know depending on travis hunter's progression they may still want to move on from brian thomas after the season it's possible it's been as disappointing a year as you can imagine for what brian thomas was last year to this year now he's hurt again jacoby myers they did say that the slot role was going to stay with parker washington makes sense and so i think parker washington is still a great pickup and a great play jacoby myers short week figuring out an offense i don't know how relevant you guys view him for fantasy but I don't think immediate.

23:46Mike Wright:Some hope.

23:46Jason Moore:Yeah, I do think he'll have relevance this year, but this week they're going to the Houston Texans, who have not given up a lot of points. Great defense. They're number five against wide receivers? They're number five against wide receivers. I don't know about schedule adjusted or not, but just in general, they've given up the fifth fewest. So Jacoby, first weekend against a tough defense. I'm not playing him.

24:07Mike Wright:Rasheed Shahid was traded by the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks. Alakalak.

24:13Jason Moore:Yeah. Do you? Do you? I do. I really like this. I like this for both parties. You know, I'm a little -

24:21Mike Wright:Are you one of the parties because of Olave?

24:23Jason Moore:Yes. Because it's not the two teams. Those are the two parties.

24:26Mike Wright:The Seahawks and Jason. No, no, it's Jason and Chris Olave. Chris Olave. I like it for both of us. Oh, okay, okay.

24:32Jason Moore:So I went for the Dynasty show that came out today. I went and re-watched all the Tyler Shuck film. Did you bring an anti-nausea medication? That was my expectation. He was not that bad. He really, really was not that bad. They barely touched the ball. The Rams just dominated. But on a per-play basis, the film looked – Wouldn't that be part of the – they're not very good? Well, no. I mean, that was the Rams just controlling the clock. Time of possession was one of the fewest amount of minutes. I don't have the stat in front of me right now. It was an all-timer. Yeah, it was an all-timer. So that's why he only threw the ball 24 times.

25:06Jason Moore:And he wasn't that bad. His pick at the end of the game was like, the game is running out. You've got to launch this ball. It was terrible. but he was okay and he was okay with Rashid Shahid. But to take the jokes aside, the landing spot for Shahid, this sucks for Torrey Horton, but Shahid is such a good downfield threat. And Sam Darnold, his downfield ball this year, his catchable percentage of deep passes is 81.5%, which is outrageously high. Like if he finished the season there, it would be an all-timer. So I think it's good for Darnold.

25:41Mike Wright:This is amazing for Seattle. It's amazing. I mean, Cooper Copp is a part of the offense. Torrey Horton's a part of the offense. Arroyo's a part of the offense. Now Shahid, who takes the top of every defense. He's 27 years old. And then JSN. I mean, I saw the Seahawks at number two on a power rankings today. And I'm not sure that I – well, I don't agree with that. But I think – But you think it's okay for an argument. I think it's okay for an argument. I think that they're playing that well and their defense is that good. And it's just a shame for them. they have to go up against the buzzsaw that is Jacoby Brissett this week.

26:12Mike Wright:That's really going to slow their momentum down when Jacoby goes in there. There's no way.

26:16Jason Moore:There's no world where the rug gets pulled out from Jacoby Meyer. Just a boss. Jacoby Brissett. I say Jacoby Myers every time I bring up. It's a reunion with Shahid for Coops. If you remember the beginning of last year when you're like, wait, are the Northern Saints going to actually be good? And you're like, no. No, they're not. No, it turned out they were not. However, I think there will be a couple games where JSN doesn't get the big play because Shahid, this is not me moving JSN down my rankings at all, but the fact that you have Shahid who's so good down the field and he'll end a few drives throughout the season where you're like, oh, there's a 40-yard touchdown to Shahid.

27:03So I think this is great news for Darnold. who he's kind of been living in this fringe streamer. Maybe he's an every week start. I think this could push him into being a – just put him in the lineup no matter against who he's playing. I'm pretty excited.

27:20Mike Wright:Yeah, you were definitely the most excited of the group in terms of just what this means for the Seahawks. Sauce Gardner traded to the Colts for two firsts in A.D. Mitchell.

27:32Jason Moore:Woo! Oh, man. The A.D. Mitchell part is, I think, smart but hysterical. Do you guys remember? Have you seen the video from the draft where A.D. Mitchell was taken by the Colts one pick ahead, and the Jets just celebrated because they didn't draft Malachi Corley. So then they traded up. It wasn't one pick ahead, but then they traded up to get Malachi Corley. And now a couple years later, it's like, hey, we'll take that guy.

28:01Mike Wright:It's huge for the Colts, man. it's a it's it's a lot to give up i think it's a good trade for both teams i mean the jets they get rid of a contract they get multiple first round picks they were going nowhere fast what was the tweet uh you know i was if you weren't here for the rebuild you don't deserve

28:20Jason Moore:me at the rebuild yeah i mean it's non-stop for the jets do we feel bad for like the college star quarterbacks right now? Because it looks like with this

28:32Mike Wright:draft ammunition, one of them is going to the Jets. Well, not according to them necessarily. Comments out of the Jets were that these picks could get used for another quarterback like Kyler Murray, hopefully. Whoa, Jets. Whatever you do. Don't fix your problems. Don't steal Kyler from us. We will be devastated. Oh no. Don't do that. Please don't. Please don't. We'll do it for two. Cowboys traded for Quinnen Williams. They are It's so hilarious. They're drunk. Jerry Jones running things. Jerry Jones is literally going senile in front of our eyes. It is. It's very funny. But the to me it was like hey fantasy football you're telling me the Jets just lost Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams?

29:27Just fantastic. This is from a team that the Jets defense could show up every once in a while.

29:33Jason Moore:The issue is their offense can't get first downs. Exactly. The issue is... No, no. I'm talking about my teams against the Jets. I know, but even still running backs? Great. Awesome. Without Quentin Williams and with a giant lead, you're going to be running, but it's one of those things where it's like when the Bengals have a bad defense or the Cowboys have a bad defense, it's wonderful for fantasy. For both teams in that game, this one isn't quite as exciting because Because the offense for the Jets I don't think is going to be able to keep up with how bad their defense is. And unfortunately, yesterday I really enjoyed mocking the trade of going and getting a Bengal defender to improve your Cowboys team.

30:12Jason Moore:But this is a legitimate upgrade.

30:14Mike Wright:The Jets are already giving up the fourth most points in the league already.

30:16Jason Moore:Yeah, but it's even better now. The Quinn and Williams to the Cowboys, that's going to make an impact. I mean, Andy, you shared a video today of one of their defenders on the Jacoby Brissett quarterback sneak. Oh, it's just unbelievable.

30:30Mike Wright:It's unbelievable what happened. The Cardinals were sneaking the ball at the one-yard line, and the two defensive tackles just went to block outside players. It was just comical. But, yeah, Quinton is a good run stopper. He has not pressured the quarterback well this year. I think he has a sack on the entire year. Their commitment to DTs and not Michael Parsons is strange to me, and it's not going to fix Dallas' defense. But there you go. Two big defensive trades. Cardinals named Jacoby Brissett, the quarterback. We talked all about that already. There you go. Aaron Wilson said the expectation is Stroud is not going to play this week.

31:09Mike Wright:Davis Mills should start for Houston. That sucks for Nico Collins. I think he'll be okay. Brian Thomas Jr. dealing with a low-grade high ankle sprain. would you rather have a low grade high angles rain or a high grade low i think you'd rather have a high grade low ankle sprain i want to invent something that stops the old ankle sprains i'm not sure how to do that uh ricky pierce saw evaluated this week to see if he can return to practice called the timeline fuzzy i bet he doesn't yeah i mean him and him and purdy like the ricky pierce saw story now is it it sucks yeah i mean he basically played three games it

31:46Jason Moore:It seems like the 49ers are very committed to being healthy for the playoffs and not for the regular season.

31:54Mike Wright:But, I mean, that's a tough game to play. Yeah. If Mac Jones gets you to the playoffs, you're going to bench him for Purdy? Shanahan would. I don't know, man. Shanahan literally, yeah, I don't know. That was News & Notes sponsored by Progressive Insurance. Quote today at Progressive.com.

Should have taken another breath right there. All right. Thursday night. I'm out of here.

32:26Mike Wright:Thursday night breakdown.

32:31Mike Wright:Las Vegas at two and six. They take on the Denver Broncos who are seven and two. The Raiders did compete against Jacksonville this past week. Denver, though, nine and a half point favorites on fire. Over-unders, 42. Raiders implied point total is 16.5 points on Thursday.

32:49Jason Moore:That is also the implied interception total for Geno Smith. 16.5? Yeah. I'm going to take the under there, but the Broncos defensive front, they are getting after quarterbacks. They have 40 sacks on the year. The next highest in the NFL is Detroit with 28. They're on pace to break the all-time record. Now, you know, that doesn't mean it'll happen, but that's just an example of how great their pressure has been. And when you add that to the other side of the field with Geno Smith has not looked good, certainly not in pressured situations, I don't have high expectations for him.

33:25Mike Wright:Well, in this game, you play Brock Bowers and you play Ashton Gentry, and you check out probably because... Don't forget to cross your fingers and hope. Just for those guys. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's fair. Ashton Gentry is... If we get that receiving work, you'll be okay. Which you will. You will because Kobe Myers is gone. Besh, Thornton. Does Besh get to play? That's the thing. Tyler Lockett. Or are we going to roll Tyler Lockett out again? Just play Gentey and Bowers because you're not going to not do that. Gentey will have 20 chances in the game, and Bowers is Brock Bowers.

33:57Jason Moore:Yeah, where did you post the quote from Pete Carroll? I just reposted it. Yeah, I thought it was nice to hear. It was talking about, yeah, Gentey's doing great. I wish we would have gotten the ball more on the perimeter a couple of times. but here's the thing this is self-evaluation he says because about 20 of the time you're going to get him down we just got to get that done more because it's so obvious he's seeing that and saying we need to get him the ball on the outside and but send that to the patriots yeah it went through my mind like that kind of self-evaluation went through my mind of like hey get a little bit more opportunity out in space well the other side of the ball a little bit

34:36Mike Wright:more confusing when you talk about the running back position for dimber rj harvey is performing on limited opportunities 27 of snaps 32 of snaps and yet rb6 and 11 because of the painted part of the field got into the end zone for a third straight week in the receiving game and only had two rushing attempts on the game. Seems like... That seems like a scary start.

35:06Jason Moore:Yeah, so Dobbins is a very easy start. Dobbins is darn near a must start in this because you expect the Denver Broncos to be up. Last week, he got 15 carries to R.J. Harvey's two. So even though R.J. Harvey had the touchdown and against the really good Houston team, J.K. Dobbins was not able to be efficient, didn't have a good fantasy production, was outscored by R.J. Harvey. He's certainly the player you want over R.J. Harvey. That being said, if there's a break glass case of emergency, if they are up a lot, that's where R.J. Harvey will get more work. And he has been very explosive as advertised, as hoped for when they drafted him.

35:48Jason Moore:So Dobbins must start Harvey in consideration. Demarcato or Harvey? Yeah, that's a perfect example. I would prefer Harvey. Chris Rodriguez or Harvey? Harvey. But that is the tier. So it's not something you want to play, but it's something you can play all three of those guys if you need to. A reminder, though, because he is the type of player that is going to be coming in off your bench, if you start him this Thursday night football, put him all the way into the running back slot, leave your flex spot open.

36:18Mike Wright:Yeah, the explosiveness is helpful. Bo Nix, quarterback seven and fancy points per game on the year. So he's been a fourth-quarter quarterback. Yeah, I mean, he shouldn't be QB7. He's going to need it early in this one, I think, with the way the defense is going to play. Yeah, let's throw Cortland Sutton the ball. You know he's 30th in expected points for the first three quarters? Bo Nix. Bo Nix. That makes sense. And fifth in the fourth quarter? I don't know. You never know what happens on Thursday Night Football. We've been surprised before. Geno Smith played his best game of the season by far last week.

36:53Mike Wright:it was against the Jacksonville defense it's pretty good I mean 29 for 39 74 completion percentage 284 and 4 you know if you want higher upside in this game you got to hope that Brock Bowers can somehow not be covered by Denver because he can't really be covered by anybody so and I mean reminder Troy Franklin is just continuing to see an incredible amount of targets it didn't I mean it didn't work for either him or Courtland Sutton last week against the houston texans wasn't a super shocker but 10 targets the last three weeks shocker the last three weeks he sounds like a wwf guy last three weeks 10 targets eight targets 10 targets like troy franklin is i think he's a fine play this week yeah yeah i mean the the raiders are beat

37:45Jason Moore:at the wide receiver position those targets are happening the the implied team total for the Broncos they're expected to score here 26 points so yeah he's he's uh an okay start and uh I remind

37:58Mike Wright:you I remind you I want to drop I want it to be Pat Bryant but it's Troy Franklin yeah it is and Jason said it yesterday you're gonna have some some ups and downs but that's the way it goes at the wider zero position you've had that with Cortland Sutton and you don't doubt starting him You got to rely on opportunities. It's like I always say. Target share is there. Targets matter. Just not in Cleveland. Yeah, that's fine. You guys want to talk some mailbag? Yes, sir.

38:31Jason Moore:Mailbag. Presented by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

38:38Mike Wright:All right, let's answer some of your questions. If you have a question for the show, you can go to the website, thefantasyfootballers.com. click that submit a question button or you can dial our voicemail hotline 302464 tffb we do have a couple voicemail questions we'll kick it off with and uh see if we can help you out for this upcoming week hey ballers um i got a really tough question i am really solid at running back and i've got a good record and i've got ken walker i'm tried to trade him nobody wants and I'm thinking of dropping it. Is that crazy?

39:11Jason Moore:Yeah. Thanks, guys. Oh, man. That is crazy. Now, I'm going to read you the last four weeks.

39:16Mike Wright:Did you hear our waiver show on running backs yesterday?

39:19Jason Moore:I don't want Ken Walker more than those guys. That's kind of where I was going. There is no one to pick up on waivers, and you cannot have enough depth at running back position. While his performances have been very poor for fantasy, nine points, four points, six points, seven points the last four games for Kenneth Walker. Oh, my gosh. He's also getting double-digit opportunities every single game of the season. And the offense now, I think, with Shahid and their catch on their stride, the better the offense does, the better it is for Kenneth Walker.

39:50Mike Wright:Oh, my gosh. I can't believe his numbers are that low. He can make a big play at any moment. You need to keep him on the roster. Depth is so important, I agree. That's just depressing. It is depressing. You need to change. We need to change what he is in our brains. Yeah, he's a running back, too. He's averaging nine points. He's averaging probably a three. He's a roster. If he feels like a roster clog right now. Well, look, look, I will put you in a position that you have a tough decision with a drop. You want one? Yeah. 24 % of leagues this guy was available as of today. Probably not anymore because the waivers went through.

40:21But just for the fun of it, Kyle Monunga or Ken Walker on your roster? I'd rather have Ken Walker. Because I don't believe that even though as great as it was for Monunga, I think he goes right back to his.

40:35Mike Wright:Walker's a committee back too. Yes. yeah yeah but i the he's the i think he might be the leader of the committee i don't know but two of the last three weeks menongai top 12 yeah yeah yeah i i don't know i think it's more interesting question than i don't yeah that's one where the names the names can be

40:53Jason Moore:the overwhelming part of it but i think if you if you factor in like you know there's been two times where ken walker's been a top 12 running back this year as well and you you factor in the fact that swift was out and that won't always be the case it's insane they scored like 40 points of how the seahawks are so great and yet both of their running backs are essentially like you they're diaper gravy you put them in you put them in and you don't want to that's why yeah they they

41:23Mike Wright:when you have a committee and they they're just doing what they need to do in the offense I mean it's not great JSN's doing too well for Ken Walker

41:32Jason Moore:in fantasy right now half PPR it looks like Ken Walker's averaging 10.1 fantasy points Charbonnet 8.9 fantasy points

41:40Mike Wright:I mean I would are you telling me you would play Ken Walker over Monongah this week? Because I would not do that Is DeAndre Swift playing? Regardless, let's just say he is

41:51Jason Moore:I would probably play Walker Okay all right let's go into another voicemail hey ballers jake from virginia quick question i'm number two in my league and i have jonathan taylor in that situation would you trade taylor for bijon straight up swap in my mind it could potentially secure the buy based on their running back schedules and jonathan taylor still has a buy while bijon already had his thing i mean uh

42:20Mike Wright:yeah i like the way that you're thinking in terms of like paying attention to who's had the buy week and trying to get the bye for your own team. Oh, man. My first initial immediate gut reaction is like, no, you don't do that. The Colts schedule. I did not realize what was about to happen. So they get Atlanta this week. Who knows? Who knows which Atlanta defense will show up? But then you're on the bye. Then it's on the road against Kansas City. Houston. At home against Houston. At Jacksonville. At Seattle. you have a fantasy championship week against Jacksonville you get Seattle, San Francisco like you said, Houston in week 18 and you can get Bichon?

43:05Jason Moore:The Atlanta run Bichon passes by, Atlanta goes Indianapolis this week, Carolina, New Orleans the Jets.

43:12Mike Wright:Championship week is against the toughest run defensive football though I think that that's a really courageous trait. I guess I'm open to it I remember we had this. Can't you get more than Bichon? If you wanted to. Maybe. But the, I don't know. If I have Bichon, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not going to pay a lot to go get Johnny Taylor. We had a few years ago, we had this situation where Derrick Henry was destroying and you looked at his strength of schedule was the end of year was against just the juggernauts. Mm-hmm. So, it – I get it. What do you do? Let's see you have that big button in front of you to push that button.

44:00Mike Wright:Are you pushing it? I have so much more confidence in the Indianapolis. I have Jonathan Taylor. I'm not doing it. Mike, you have B.

44:07Jason Moore:John Robinson. Yeah. I'm not doing it. I don't – it's weird. I feel like – I like the Colts. I don't think – I wouldn't do it from either direction. From either side. That's kind of how I feel. If I had Taylor, I would not trade to go get B. John. If I had Bichon, I wouldn't trade for Taylor. It's weird, but I think they're just the same. That's so irrational.

44:28Mike Wright:Yeah. I like the Colts so much more. They're such a better offense. They add Sauce Gardner. The running game is going to be even more a focal point. Jonathan Taylor can overcome a tough matchup.

44:38Jason Moore:Yeah, I would say the only position where I would certainly make this trade is kind of the opposite of what he laid out, which is like if you're struggling and you need to get some wins, you know you which most people john of the taylor haven't been struggling too too much um but if you're if you look and you see real significant bye week trouble and you're still trying to make the playoffs and you're on the outside right now and you can skip that bye yeah that i'm open to that that's a that's a pro move that you can do i did have to go glance at the

45:07Mike Wright:game against the rams number one run defense when they played them in week four colts he's uh 12.1 fancy points it was his worst game of the year oh no no last week was a disaster all right uh here's a question joey from uh joey az on instagram should i start tyron tracy or camara or just trade them both for nothing uh man so tracy tracy the tracy was in a timeshare yep like he played 44 of the snaps he had nine opportunities meanwhile Devin Singletary played 56 % of the snaps had 10 opportunities so Tracy's not a slam dunk play Alvin Kamara's been

46:00Jason Moore:so bad I would trade for nothing I think I'll do that one the last three weeks for Alvin Kamara 4.4 fantasy points 5.5 and this past week 0.2 fantasy points that was against I will say this the last two weeks. Tampa Bay Buccaneers hard to run on the Los Angeles Rams. We just mentioned the number one run defense. So it could get better. I don't think Shuck was too, too bad. And he can't over-target Shahid. I'm going to play Kamara. I'm going to go Kamara, but you might be right to trade them both for nothing.

46:32Mike Wright:I'll play Tracy. Justin Jefferson trade offer here from YouTube. Ethan wants to know, would you trade Jefferson for Waddle and Jake Ferguson? No. I wouldn't. No. Instagram question was, offer Justin Jefferson for Kyron Williams. Is that a good trade? If you need a running back, it's perfectly fine. In this case, they would be getting Jefferson. Or if you need a wide receiver.

46:54Jason Moore:So whenever there's a straight one-for-one running back versus a wide receiver, what you're really asking is, is it a fair trade? Because this is team-specific, needs, depth, what you have around them. Take a look at your team and see what position you need more and where you can withstand losing the player, it is a fair trade. Justin Jefferson is a little bit higher within wide receivers than Kyron is within running backs. Running backs are a little bit more scarce, so I think it's a fair trade.

47:22Mike Wright:I just looked at it in our trade analyzer. Oh. It's dead middle. Oh, there you go. It's fair. Dead middle. Projected, yeah, there you go. We did it. Oh, that's BB on Instagram. Marvin Harrison or Quentin Johnston this week? Marv at Seattle. Kuge against Pittsburgh.

47:44Jason Moore:I want to say Kuge. I want to say Marv. I think I'm going to say Marv. Harrison being forced fed the ball at the beginning of the game and then turning out that works. You know, there was the report that came out that, like, on the bus, right before the game they decided the opening drive they're going to, like, heavily target Marvin, force him to get involved. That's the way it was worded. Guys, guys, guys, guys. Got an idea. 27 games into his career. Let me finish the idea before you call me crazy. What if that guy we took number four overall, what if we just pepper him with targets? We warmed him up over 27 games.

48:26The fact that they came out was embarrassing.

48:29Mike Wright:Now they're going to think we're going to do it again. Do you know how dysfunctional all of our thoughts are about this team? All right, let me take a break, and we'll get into some more questions.

49:04Jason Moore:snhu.edu slash footballers to get started. That's snhu.edu slash footballers.

49:11Mike Wright:All right, Foot Clan, whether you are on the go or at home, T-Mobile, well, they're built to keep you connected wherever you're scouting your fantasy team. And that on-the-go part, that is important. With America's Best Network, you'll be connected to the latest news and player projections. So when you're on the clock, you can draft a winning team. I can think of so many situations where that element of being connected while you're on the go is fundamental to fantasy football success. I'm in the midst of multiple leagues right now where I am responding to trade offers. We are massaging the trade offer.

49:41Mike Wright:We want to make sure that I'm the one that gets the player, not another player manager in our league. So trade offers when you're on the go, all the news that's breaking so you don't make a mistake. And my favorite thing, maybe I'll mention it. Look, you're sitting and you have a quiet moment somewhere out and about. You want to jump in the UDK. We've got the player profiles. You can watch all of those in there with T-Mobile. You can jump in on the player projections and our stat projections and all the 130 ,000 words of content. Again, T-Mobile making that easy to do. Every bit of news, things are changing all the time.

50:14Mike Wright:New player contracts, all that good stuff. So from off season to game day, every play is better with T-Mobile. What you got to do is visit T-Mobile.com slash network. Fastest is based on analysis by ukla of speed test intelligence data of national speed score results for the second half of 2025 the best mobile network in the u.s is based on analysis by ukla of speed test intelligence data second half of 2025 all right matt on instagram wants to know jalen wattle or nico rest of season oh oh man that's kind of sad there's an article that came out on the website today uh looking at dynasty tears amazing really good article by kyle uh kind of in the context of discussions you guys had on the dynasty show it the the i was looking at all the tears and the breakdowns in there the three that got me the most that were like i thought the hardest decision making process for i think it was tier three tier four wide receivers was the garrett wilson nico where they belong where nico was like down in tier four in this article yeah and that kind of bugged me yeah that was the one that stood out as like do i agree with that or not it's wild but

51:28Jason Moore:talent versus what's happening on a non-dynasty standpoint having lost um you know a lot of the other wide receiver options including tyrick hill jalen waddle's been very good he has i also look at week 16 week 17 cincinnati and tampa bay oh uh two teams that you know you're gonna need to

51:47Mike Wright:juicy score on waddle i'm going waddle here i think i think that's the right call man crazy malachi on youtube sup meowlers i don't know if i like that a little mac here and i was wondering what breeze hall's rest of season outlook is with him not being traded uh he'll be used so much yeah that's what's gonna happen i mean I tried to put myself in Brees Hall's shoes and my goodness I mean this is like a lame duck running back on a team that has not really wanted you and yet is totally willing to listen to you and give you tons of work when you want it and like oh man his tweet

52:26Jason Moore:his tweet where he he's got nothing to lose after the trade deadline was over and he said he's like I'm paraphrasing here he said oh I'm sick about it you know losing these guys i'm so happy for them but it was like wait you're so you just came out and said these guys who left the jets so happy for them well when you have when you're the player you're the human being and the team with their actions i mean i don't i'm not privy to all contract discussions but with their actions and what's being reported is like he's not being offered a lucrative long term deal from the new york jets oh of course not and then no that's not happening and yet at the same time they're like no but you are valuable because we will only trade you if we get a third round pick which one is it am i valuable to this team or am i not well here's the real truth decision

53:16Mike Wright:as a jets franchise to not trade him for a four when you're gonna let him go uh you want to win

53:21Jason Moore:more games and have a worse pick i don't know it's weird i still don't know how he will factor into the um comped story pick math uh i presume he'll get a good contract but that's what i wanted to bring up is like what's going on for Brees Hall rest of the season what's his outlook he is playing for his contract now going into last game he said basically I need the ball 20-25 times and it worked they got their first win Andy said it a little differently

53:50Mike Wright:yeah I did keep moving

53:54Jason Moore:you missed the joke the first time and you missed the second joke we don't need to bring it up again I definitely think he's going to be very good for fantasy rest of season. He's got a couple brutal matchups here of Cleveland, New England, Baltimore. Then you get... I mean, Baltimore looks good on paper, but I think it's going to be tough.

54:15Mike Wright:I'm not looking at Brees as the key to my fantasy championship. Yeah, just trying to figure out if the schedule can tell us anything. Then Atlanta, then Miami. It's going to be tough, but he will get the ball so, so much.

54:28Jason Moore:Now, we still don't know who the quarterback is, though. Keep that in mind. It's true.

54:32Mike Wright:It was, can't you get the budget magician stuff, right? The competitive advantage. You know who didn't need the competitive advantage this week? And it's rare we can give him credit. Jonathan Gain. Jonathan Gain. I had the thought. You know, a lot of value to establishing the quarterback at the beginning of the week is what he said. What you're saying, this week? Yeah. Yeah, last week you kind of did it. I'm talking about this week. Okay, all right.

54:54Jason Moore:He did come out early and say there's advantage to just having it established as your quarterback.

54:59Mike Wright:I mean, you lose that competitive advantage, but.

55:01Jason Moore:There's a favor.

55:02Mike Wright:There's just everything. Rashid, Shahid, or Jamison Williams rest of the season. J-Mo got into the end zone again this week. Great play. Shahid, I would go J-Mo. You know, I have to withdraw.

55:13Jason Moore:Yeah, I get that. I actually would go J-Mo as well. You know, off the bye, they seemed like they wanted to get him involved. He wasn't involved. Their schedule opens up. And, you know, Shahid, we don't know how involved he's going to be. It's still JSN's team. So it's close. It could be the wrong call, but I would stick with Jameson. It's funny because it's a very similar situation. Do they catch a touchdown or do they not? I mean, the Lions are Amin Ross' team. Yeah, so I brought the stat up earlier either in the season or in the offseason where it was like Jameson Williams and Rashid Shahid were drafted in the same draft class and had played the exact same number of games, and it was their stat line career.

55:56Jason Moore:And Shahid dominated Jameson Williams. Right. Jamison missed a lot of games. No, no, no. They played the exact same amount of games. Same 100 % amount of games.

56:07Mike Wright:Yeah, with Horton and Kopp and Arroyo and stuff, I don't think Shahid's going to get as much as maybe Jamo, but who knows? Maybe. It's close. I think it's safer to go with Jamison Williams, just the complete unknown of Shahid. But the Lions running backs are going to score points. And as of right now, the Seahawks running backs are scoring zero points. Hatfield, how do you handle league mates that don't respond to trade offers? Hatfield on Instagram asks us the question. They don't respond.

56:38Jason Moore:Public shaming. I don't know. I mean, usually the truth is the people that don't respond to trades, what I do is I text them or I DM them on whatever platform. Like if you're playing on Sleeper, try to poke them. Usually those people that never respond also don't respond to the DMs or the pokes. so then yeah public outcry yeah the only problem with the public shaming is that that does not get

57:04Mike Wright:you a yes on the trade that is true it gets you a no on the trade it might get it might get you a

57:09Jason Moore:future response and the because the player goes i should respond to trades rob asks a follow-up

57:16Mike Wright:uh question or similar one what is the best app to play fantasy on that would promote trading them the best tired of boring leagues we play on sleeper yeah and i i would say to answer the

57:25Jason Moore:question there's pros and cons in in all leagues but if you want something that promotes trades that means promoting communication and sleeper's great at that i wish that sleeper and maybe they're

57:35Mike Wright:listening because they often are i wish that there was the option or ability to like man this is gonna sound so old but i wish that when i used to get a trade offer when i was on yeah i'd get an email when the trade comes through because sometimes their their notifications their mobile notifications they don't always work yeah sometimes you get a notification sometimes you

57:56Jason Moore:don't i've had times when they don't yeah to be able to turn on email notifications for trade you sure you'd i feel like for you it'd be a good old-fashioned phone call right they could give me

58:05Mike Wright:an automate because they have my number dude i'll take a text like this is a sleeper you have been offered jameson williams or fax me yeah yeah go door to door i don't know but boring leagues suck People just do me respond to trades. How about that? Just respond to them. You don't have to do a lot. Just click.

58:29Jason Moore:No, but that's I don't care. That's the thing. Like I am someone who often doesn't respond to trades. It is 100 percent of the time because I didn't know a trade was made. I just don't see it. Somebody needs a phone call. I have too many notifications because I think I get the notifications, but I get so many notifications. I'm just like I I'm ignoring everything now. Yeah, the phone call would help, Andy.

58:47Mike Wright:Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to call you from now on and say I just sent you a trade over.

58:51Jason Moore:I would never be upset. Could you imagine being upset if you got a phone call from anyone in the league ever and they're like, hey, I just want to let you know I made you a trade offer. That's like a little golden nugget of happiness that's placed inside me. Like, ooh, I got a – who's not – when you see trade offer proposed, when you do recognize that notification, no one goes, oh.

59:16Mike Wright:Yeah, but I'm trying to take you. Sure. I can't call you if I think I'm going to whoop you in this trade. Oh, sure you can. Yeah. All right. That was today's mailbag.
