Welcome inside Studio thirty four. This is the Fantasy BFFs and I am Frank Stanfel. Here on a Wednesday, October nine, Happy hump day, very gloomy, rainy day in the Northeast today, New York City getting ready for the ALCS New York Yankees. The opponent is a waiting.
We don't know who that will be it. But no baseball talk today. As much as I would love to talk baseball with my good buddy Eric Young, We'll be talking fantasy football today. Is a lot to talk about. Most added, most drop, players to buy, players to sell is basically an entire transaction show. And there's a few things in the news that I want to talk about as well. Already players ruled out for the Thursday night football game, injuries taking place, players returning or missing practice.
And to do all that, I'll talk about it with my good buddy, Why, Eric Young, what's going on away, franky? My man? What is going on? Beautiful day here in Nashville, Tennessee. The sun is out, the leaves are falling, which is a dreaded time of year for me, means I gotta break out the rake here pretty soon. A ton of trees in my backyard. Um yeah, I'm I'm pumped up, man. Uh football is in full swing, Hockey is in full swing. You mentioned something about some other sport that I don't
know about. Um, so, yeah, it must be nice, must be nice you Why to have a beautiful weather out there in Nashville, Tennessee. It's very rainy, gloomy, cold day here. What's the what's the temperature like now nowadays this time of year in Nashville, it's uh so, it's been a weird here it's I've been unseasonably hot, so it's been. Uh, last week it was ninety five. I was in Tucson, Arizona, and it was actually hotter in Franklin, Tennessee than it
was in Arizona. So it's been weird. Yeah, my backyard looks like a desert. All my grass is dead. It's all saying race right now, but it's uh, it's still nice. It's I mean, probably eighty degrees today, so that's pretty well. Probably probably get out for a ride on the bike later today. Eighty degrees. I think it's it's fifty five degrees in raining here in New York City, so it's a little bit colder. I don't mind it. I'm kind of done when we get to this point, we get
to like October, I'm done with the warm weather. You know, I really am looking forward to the fall. I just hope that we can actually get that fall season in here, and you know it doesn't just go straight to winter, because it feels like that happens way too often. But you know, I wanted to ask you this for the show. I thought about it. You y are you a big Halloween guy? I do like Halloween. I don't do it
much anymore. I don't have a lot of time for it. Um, but Halloween has always been a huge part of my life. I loved to dress up. I mean, basically that's my job. Uh So it's uh, it's uh, it is it is something. I don't think it's a holiday. It is a cool time year. I love fall. The temperature is perfect, the colors. As part of the benefit of living in Tennessee and living in Nashville, I get all four seasons. I could do without winter, but fall is one of my favorite
times a year. Yeah, I agree. I like when it starts to cool down a little bit. Not a huge fan of just the winter once we hit the twenty degrees here in New York City. But enough of the weather. I don't think any wants to hear about the weather anymore. The reason why I brought up Halloween hit me up on Twitter at roto underscore Frank. I actually just downloaded the shutter app. No, they're not paying me to like promote the product or whatever. But it's just filled with
a bunch of horror shows and movies. So if anyone has any recommendations, please feel free to reach out because this is a month that I do like to watch a ton of horror related things. I mentioned. We got some news some things that I want to jump into here. Let's start it off with. You know, there was a video from Antonio Brown. I don't really want to give this guy the publicity, give him the time of day, but I thought it was worth mentioning. It's kind of comical.
It's hysterical even, you know, talking about how the Patriots may as well play him because they owe him money. It's like I've never seen I've never seen an athlete e y fall off the deep end like this, uh this quickly, and you know, it's actually it's sad to watch because he is super talented, probably one of the I don't know three most talented wide receivers in the game still now today, even at the advanced age that
he is. But you know, after everything that he did basically once he was released from the Patriots, you know, calling out Robert Craft and calling out basically anyone who's ever had you know, any type of uh, domestic violence issue, it's just crazy that he would post a video like this. So Dan, if you have that loaded up, let's let's play what Antonio Brown had to say yesterday regarding the Patriots. Guy having a beautiful day. You guys followed the Patriots
tell them call me. They still got to pay me, so as well let me ernie XFL and never that was not even in the question. Okay, so you hear him you here, I mentioned there. You know, they gotta pay me. He's filing like grievances against the Patriots and he should get a signing bonus. So he's basically saying, uh, you might as well play me if if you gotta
pay me. So I don't think that's how it's gonna work when it comes to the New England Patriots, especially after everything that he did with Robert Kraft, uh said about him and tweeted about him. So, um, I just don't know what's going on with Antonio Brown. Why have you ever seen anything to this extent? Like I was trying to think of an example downstairs. Unfortunately, we've seen a lot of football players, you know, suffer from mental illness later on in their life, but maybe not to
this level. I don't know. I don't know that he's even been diagnosed with anything, but this is pretty crazy, man. Yeah, I mean I feel like he always was kind of like known as the he's the wide receiver, is a bit of a diva. That's that the other or but this is another thing altogether. Like look, man, that's your your your grievances with the NFL and your appeals to get paid for doing nothing like that's private stuff. I mean one I don't care or want to know about it. Um.
It's just it's crazy how quickly this happened. You mean, like he went to the Raiders and you think, oh, if he seems happy and him and Derek Carr, you know, have this decent relationship and it could be this thing. And then okay, he's not practicing, and he's he burned his feet and he won't wear the helmet, and it's just been literally one thing after another, and quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I don't I don't care about what you're got, what you got going in your life.
I could care less go away. And he imagined the XFL too, because he was doing like a live periscope and people were asking him about the XFL, so he basically shot that down. E y, I don't know if you want to fill anybody in on where you worked at he won't have an opportunity to sign Antonio Brown. But ultimately I wait to play XFL Fantasy. Yeah, that's that is gonna be a lot of fun. They will have XFL Annecy. They're gonna have betting for the XFL as well, So looking forward to that once the NFL
season winds down. But we do have some other news, some injury related news that I want to go over before we get into The most added and most drop is the Fantasy BFFs.

buddy Eric Young. I mentioned that I wanted to talk about some of the injury news has already been players ruled out in that Thursday night football game between the New England Patriots, UH, the team that Antonio Brown will not be playing for, and the New York Giants. Tae Kwon, Barkley, Evan Ingram, and Sterling Shepherd have already been ruled out for that game. The spread as of now is sixteen and a half points. The Patriots are favored by sixteen and a half, and I've openly said I think that
this number is going to continue to climb. It wouldn't surprise me if this number closes at seventeen and a half. But ultimately e y I set out a poll yesterday that if Sae Kjuon, Barkley, Evan Ingram, and Sterling Shepherd are all ruled out for Tomorrow Night's contest against New England's New England Patriots, is there a single Giants player that you would start for fantasy football? I tweeted it out yesterday with a pole seventy percent say nope, can't
do it. Do you agree with that? I think it's gonna depend on if Wayne Goldman plays like if if he's gonna play then I think you gotta play him, But I don't know. Man, it's a real bad spot. Wayne Gohlman now in the concussion protocol, doesn't look like he's gonna play. John Hillman is the next man up there at the running back position. But I mentioned this yesterday.
So far the season, the New England Patriots are number one against the quarterback, number one against wide receivers, number two against running backs, and number two against tight ends. So even with Evan ingram out, I mean, who's the next man up Rhet Ellison, I don't think we're looking at that. This is a really bad spot for Daniel Jones as well, because Bill Belichick traditionally in his career
has rained down on young quarterbacks, specifically rookie quarterbacks. So I think the Giants are in a really really bad spot here. Even golden tape, I don't think that I can get involved there. I've heard some people talking about Darius Slayton. I understand they have to throw the ball
to um body. This whole game is probably going to be garbage time from the Giants perspective, But the Patriots defense is legit and I don't want to underrate them, so I'm perfectly fine just starting no Giants players like I don't want to get cute. I don't want to get golden tad in my lineup. I know Darius Slayton's coming off a game where he scored a touchdown, has a little bit of a poor here with Daniel Jones as well, but I do not want to fool around
with that. I will be starting zero players from the New York Giants on Thursday Night football against the New England Patriots. I will we go over to my j E T S Jets, Jets, Jets. You can hear the excitement in my voice. Chris Herndon, remember when we were all excited about him. Well, that didn't last very long. He is dealing with a hamstring injury. Apparently he suffered it last Friday. He was practicing with the team or I don't know if it was with the team or
he was practicing off to the side. He was still suspended, but he was eligible to return this week. E y and now he's not practicing due to a hamstring injury. This is why the Jets cannot have nice things, e y and and we will talk about some Jets later on. As by Low candidates, but ultimately, you know, it's been a terrible start of the season. Third string quarterback Luke Falcon. They're finally getting Sam Donald back. I want to get somewhat excited about this offense and their ability to turn
it around. But just when we get excited about Chris Herndon returning from this suspension, he ends up with a hamstring injury. I don't know if you were in on him trying to add him anywhere and free agency off the waiver wire, e y, but this sucks. I actually had him in a few places where I stashed him, which was you know, I thought was going to be a good move. Um, I think it would have been
if he didn't hurt his hamstring. So now they don't even know if he's gonna play each the tight end position is I mean, it's a little bit better than it was last year, but it's still a waste land scary. Herndon was a guy that you know, maybe you could could could stream or or he could even be I mean we saw him and Donald had a really good
relationship last year. What worries me though, is Donald. I mean, look, mono is a real thing, and it makes you super sick and super tired, and even if he is okay and good enough to play, I do worry about his energy level. It's it's not he's not a hundred percent, Like, even if he does play, he's not going to be a hundred percent because that that sickness actually absolutely SAPs your strength. Yeah, and we heard the first week that he was dealing with model that he was down five pounds.
So I mean if if he was legitimately dealing with this for the next two or three weeks after that, he might have lost even more weight. So you gotta worry about the energy level. He's gonna be a little bit rusty his first game back. This offensive line has been in shambles. Collectio Smile did not play last week. He was dealing with an injury. They started a rookie right tackle in Chuma Edoga out of usc fun fact, they drafted him because he played with Sam Donald the
year before, and now he's been thrust into action. I believe it was Brandon Shell. Their other right tackle was trade up in inactive healthy scratch. So this offensive line is in shambles. That's why we do like the Dallas Cowboys defense as a stream. This week, even with Sam Donald back. But on the other side of that coin, you know, Sam Donald is gonna make Robby Anderson better.
He's gonna make uh Jamison Crowder better. He's gonna make Levion Bell better, just him being on the field, his presence, his ability to make throws. I do have some concern about the rust, but I have no doubt that he's going to be better than Luke Fawk. He just he has to be. He has to be. Uh. Moving on, we we saw right before the show started here e y that case Keenum expected to start this week if he can get over this foot injury, if he is
one good to go. Their interim head coach Bill Callaghan said earlier that he would expect case Keenum to be the starting quarterback for this team. And I think it was gonna be him or or Colt McCoy one way or the other. I don't think that Dwayne Haskins is ready. And I think this is really really good news for Terry McLaurin. E Y, because we saw the first three weeks of this season, Terry McLaurin saw nine percent of
their target share. He was the wide receiver ten overall, scoring a touchdown in each of the first three games. They're going up against the Miami Dolphins this week and I know to have Xavien Howard, but ultimately they've given up a ton of fantasy production to opposing wide receivers so far. So I think if case Keendom could get back on the field, this is huge news for one. Terry McLaurin. You way, yeah, it was obvious that they had a real connection Terry McLaurin and case keenum Um.
The Washington Redskins are an absolute disaster. They're just a disaster. It's it's unbelievable that a team with such a storied history, and I mean it's in a cool sports town. It's just sad. It's just sad. There's a bunch of you know, decent pieces there, and the reality is is just the ownership is just an absolute disaster. And as long as that guy owns the team and that's the ownership group, they're just they're just going to be like this for
the foreseeable future. It's a mess. And actually side with Gregg Sussman on this one. You know, this is in the hands of ownership of management. I don't think that Jay Gruden was a bad coach. In fact, I think there were a out of years where he actually over exceeded expectations. And you know, given what he had to work with, you know, the guy never really had a great defense. He did have some early picks that he used on quarterbacks. We saw Robert Griffin the third you know,
have some success in this system. Same thing with Kirk Cousins. They let those guys walk out of the door. Obviously the injury occurred to Robert Griffin the third, uh, and then apparently he didn't want a draft Wayne Haskins an ownership and management made him draft. So it's like, you know, you kind of you put Jake Jake Gruden between a rock and hard plays. It's not really his fault. I actually think he did the best job that he possibly
could have given the circumstances there. But if case Keenum starts this week, that is good news for the offense overall, it's good news for Terry McLaurin. And you might even look at streaming Case Keenum in a super flex league if he was dropped based on how many teams are on by the Bills, Bears, Cults, and Raiders. So we do have no Josh Allen. We have no Jacoby Brissett and we have no Derek Carr in super flex leagues
as well. E Y do want to go over some of the most added before we hit the rake coming up here? We could talk about this when we get back as well. But Gerald Everett the most added player in fantasy football leagues last night, he went for nine of FAB in my home league. He went for eleven percent of FAB in the pit league here that we all participate in. E Y, were you in on Gerald every and what do you think about that fat percentage? Him going between nine and um? Everett's kind of interesting.
I suppose he's had some good production in the last couple of weeks. I think it would be if he becomes fully healthy again. That's I mean, they paid him a bunch of money, UM, so I think the split will will make Everett not as valuable. They've never been a team that has really thrown to the tight end a whole bunch. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Robert Woods isn't getting much UM and Everett is. His role does seem to be increasing. Like I said earlier,
the tight end is a waste land. Look if you've got a guy that's getting some production and he's getting some targets, go with them and cross your fingers. We're in a bye weeks now, it is. It is a sad, sad position. Yeah, I'm actually bullish on Gerald Everett. Brandon Cooks dealing with the concussion. We don't know what his status is yet, have to pay attention to whether or not he practices throughout the course of the week. And I heard Fantasy task Jim Day on the Fantasy Football
Frenzies say that he wasn't in on Gerald Everett. The reason why I am is, you know, normally, when you look at streaming quarterbacks or running backs or wide receivers, you look at what the opposing defenses allowed to that position. I don't look at that when it comes to tight end because your fantasy points allowed at the tight end position is solely based on what tight ends you face. So they faced the San Francisco forty Niners this this week.
The forty Niners haven't played any good tight ends, so of course they've been good against tight ends. I actually like the way that Gerald Everett is trending right now and the way that they are using him. But when we come back, we have more, most added, most dropped on the Fantasy BFS. It's Frank and e Y on the Sports Grade TV network will be very back. Daily Rodo dot Com from the game's best DFS years, we don't just give you premier advice. We play every day,

I am Frank standfle no Greg's Sussman today out because of Yam Kapoor of course, but joined by Eric Young, and we were going over the most added most drop list before we hit the break, e y and I noticed that the Washington and Dallas defenses were the top two most added defenses this week. Spoke a little bit
about the Dallas defense earlier on in the show. This Jets offensive line is in shambles. They just allowed ten sacks against the Philadelphia Eagles. They gave up two defensive touchdowns as well. So even with Sam Donald back, where we still think there's going to be shaking off some rust. There could be some sacks obviously in play here, some turnovers. So we like Dallas, but Washington is interesting here, e y, I understand the Dolphins have looked terrible so far in
the season. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, but they are coming off of a by Washington defense is not a good one, and I'm actually kind of excited about some of the Miami Dolphins weapons this week. We can see your boy, Davantay Parker in a little bit. Would you actually stream Washington defense against the Dolphins this WEEKI way, yeah. I mean I'm doing it in a few places because just what we've seen from the Dolphins offense this year, and to be honest, there's not a lot of good
defenses to stream. There's not a lot of available out there to to stream. So I'm going with Washington in a few places and and crossing my fingers. It's what I do every year with defense. I never draft one. I often will drop one at the start of every week and add a bench player in case of injuries or whatever, uh, and then pick them up like the day of and just just go with a gut feeling on on how I think that game is gonna plan out.
So Washington, you know, it could be there could be some interceptions, there could be some sacks, could be some turnovers. So we're gonna find out. And I feel like with the the extra week or the not the extra week, but the the coaching change could be a motivational factor. Yeah, we do normally see that's a it's a good point. We normally see that the first team that an interim coach takes over the team is usually fired up and
they show up. But I do think the Dolphins will show up as well here coming off the by or we could just end up getting a six three game with a with a bunch of sloppy play because it is two terrible teams that are likely trying to tank so they get a top pick in the NFL draft. A few other defenses Greg and I mentioned yesterday as streaming defenses. I like the Los Angeles charters going up against the Steelers. Sorry Alex downstairs, but they are now
down to their third stream quarterback. Uh, and that is Devlin Hodges. Not really sure what to expect him, so we could see some sacks, some turnovers against him. We just saw what the Eagles defense did against a third stream quarterback. And then the Packers. The Packers events is playing really well. Understand it's Monday night football against the
Detroit Lions, the Lions coming off of a bye. But this Packers past for us is actually generating a lot of pressure, they're getting sacks, they could be up in the face of Matt Stafford as well. So I'll just throw a few of those other streaming defenses out there as well. Gardner Minshew, are youably the top streaming quarterback this week going up against New Orleans Saints? Fun fact, euy I saw this field Gates tweeted this out earlier
this week. There's only three quarterbacks that have had at least six team plus fantasy points in every game this season, Pat mahomes, Kyler Murray and Gardner Minshew. Do you have any Minshew shares or are you streaming him this week? Eway, I don't, but with just just knowing that fact alone is interesting, and in the opportunities that he's had, he's looked, you know, pretty pretty decent. So I mean it's a
guy that you just gotta you gotta starting hope. I mean, that's that's the only thing you can do and and we'll see what happens. But Minhi is definitely an interesting streaming quarterback this week. And I mean there's tons of quarterback by so that could be a guy that you're gonna have to depend on not a lot at the running back position this week in terms of adding off
the waiver wire. But somebody who is one of the top handcuffs in fantasy football right now is Chase Edmonds, and Greg and I added him in the pit league for three percent of our fab budget. We told people yesterday, look, if you're a David Johnson owner, even if you're not a David Johnson owner, go out there and grab Chase Edmonds. You know, while they don't have an efficient offense yet, their offensive line is not very good, that is mitigated
by how many plays they are running right now. They are top five in the NFL in offensive plays ran per game. So, look, David Johnson is dealing with a back injury. I haven't seen whether or not he practiced yet today, but he left that game briefly on Sunday. He did come back in, But if he's gonna continue to deal with this back injury, he has a surgically
repaired risk as well. Pay attention to that because if he can't go, Chase Edmonds will be in the mix as a you know, high end a solid RB two this week going up against the Atlanta Falcons, I expect a ton of points to be scored in that game. You I saw this name pop up on Yahoo on their transactions page as one of the most added Michael Gallup. My question to you is why was he ever dropped?
It's it's baffling. Sometimes you see these the most added players and you're just thinking, like, who are these people that are dropping Michael Gallup? How? How? What? What kind of leagues are the end? And then you start to wonder, like look at like Yahoo and ESPN, like these are humongous basis, you mean, like millions and millions of teams. So sometimes you know, these are ten team leagues with with super short benches, and there are guys out there
that you can replace. I mean you just you don't have room to carry a guy that was hurt for several weeks, so they drop them. So it's, uh, seeing off like this. It's not in the leagues that we play in. It's it's probably not in the leagues that most of our our viewers um are our leagues that they play in. It's it's it's deeper leagues. It it's more um educated bass leagues, not just like office leagues or you know, no, there's nothing wrong with those that
I mean fantasy football is obviously massively popular. Um it played played by tons of people all over the place. Um, But I mean that's just baffling, like how he could be dropped. But look, it's obviously showing up. It's happening, and it's it's crazy. But but you know, sometimes you just gotta pay attention and take a look. Sometimes people get desperate, I know, like even me in a few leagues where you just you don't have huge bench depth. You've got to make a decision. You know, You've got
to make a decision. So like you know, a couple of my leagues, I've got knocks the tight end. And I don't want to drop him because I really like him. I like his athletic profile. I think there's a connection between him and Alan and the Buffalo Bills have shown that they want to use them, giving them um sweeps and stuff like that. This is an athletic freak, and he showed up over the last couple of weeks. But
he's gonna buy this week. And there's a few places where I was forced to drop him and it broke my heart. And I think it's a good point that you bring up. You know, there's a lot of diversity in terms of the leagues that people play in. I mean, you know, we have people downstairs who playing eight team leagues. You know, we know people who play in fourteen sixteen team leagues, and you know, it's we're trying our best to appeal to as many audiences as possible. There are
people who play in high stakes leagues. I participate in high stakes leagues myself, where they are deeper leagues. There's twenty roster spots, there's deep benches where you know, you would never see a name like Michael Gallup pop up. But I thought it was worth mentioning because, as you mentioned, e Y, you know, there are people who play in ten team leagues, eight team leagues, you know, twelve team leagues that have shallow bench spots, and you might actually
be out there in some leagues. But if Michael Gallup was dropped, looks like he is legitimately breaking out here in his second year with the Dallas Cowboys. You know, I wanted to get to the Miami Dolphins wide receivers. I know that you're a big Devanta Parker guy. I talked up Devanta Parker and Preston Williams on the FanDuel hurry up earlier in the week when I revealed my
top waiver wire ads. But going up against his Washington defense, e y. I mean this defense has really struggled, specifically in a secondary Josh Norman is not the player he once was. They're allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Davantae Parker the game before the break had four receptions for seventy yards and a touchdown. He's accounted for thirty five percent of their areas. He's
being targeted down the field. When it comes to Preston Williams, he has nineteen targets over his last two games as well. So and I know some people are gonna scoff at the idea of picking up Miami Dolphins players are even using Miami Dolphins players in dfs, But I actually really liked the spot going up against Washington this week. Yeah, they're gonna show up. I believe. I believe that. Um, you know, Josh Rogent Rosen has has improved. He looked,
you know, actually pretty decent. Having a full week. I think they'll come in with a decent game plan. Look, Miami's bad, I mean the reality is that it wouldn't surprise me if Washington beats them, But I do think that that the offense will be improved. Finally, um, I'm getting my wish and Blages is sent sent packing. I mean, the fact that this shows how disorganized this franchise is. The fact that that guy was starting shows that that they are just not good at evaluating players. Uh, Preston
Williams could be end up being the number one. They're a guy that had really high draft capital, but as a bit of a knucklehead. And another sneaky play if you're in super deep leaves is Albert Wilson. He's going to probably be back this week, and that could be a guy that Wilson really leans on. Yeah, it's a good point in hey attention to Albert Whiston Wilson. I know he was someone that was hyped up coming into
the season as well. I did just want to mention quickly that Devlin Hodges in my super Flex league went for ten percent of our fab budgets. So if you play in a league where you are desperate for a quarterback, maybe you had Mason Rudolph as your second quarterback, or you've just suffered from a ton of injuries by weeks. If you need Devlin Hodges in a super flex league, you might have to go as much as I probably wouldn't go ten percent, but you know, maybe three to
five percent of your fab budget. E. I do want to mention some of the most dropped players quickly, UH, and I saw brought the break that Wayne Goldman has already been ruled out as well, so that answers the question from early on in the show. It will likely be John Hilliman, which means all the more reason to like the New England Patriots UH in that game and to fade all Giants players overall. Some names that stuck
out to me EU I most dropped. I'll just read off let's say five or six names here, and you let me know which one stands out to you most. Wayne Gallman, Jalen Samuel's out for the next month, Darryl Williams with Damian Williams back to Marcus Robinson, O. J. Howard and MVS. A lot of really heralded names there, E Y. Who stands out to you most? I mean for me as it's MVS. I mean that's he's the right now the number one wide receiver he is on
the field always never comes off the field. I know uh Allison has seen more figured in and has got the touchdowns as of late, but uh mvs is the number one wide receiver there as long as Davante Adams is out. So that's the one that's really surprising to me. Yeah, NBA surprises me as well. I mentioned that I feel like the Packers and Aaron Rodgers are going through this Drew Brees and Saints transition from past couple of years where their defense is starting to get better, so ultimately
they are running the football more. O. J. Howard and DeMarcus Robinson interesting names as well.

Learned from the game's best DFS players joined Daily Rohado dot Com. Welcome back to the fantasy pffs right here on the Sports Grid TV network ZUMO channel seven nineteen. I am Frank Standfeld, joined by Eric Young no Greg Sussman. Here today I mentioned some of those
most dropped players right before the break. I think O. J. Howard and DeMarcus Robinson are interesting ones. We all saw O J. Howard catch the fly ball on the foul ball yesterday in the Tampa Bay Rays game, and of course everyone had a comment about it, you know, getting more targets at a Raise game than a than a Tampa Bay Bucks game. But unless um, yeah, he's an interesting name because he is super talented, but ultimately Bruce arians is just not using him, and I can't really
defend holding onto O J. Howard anymore either. Pay attention to Sammy Watkins entire rekilled their status this week, because if they are not good to go, then DeMarcus Robinson is still going to be in place, So pay attention to that. E Y. I wanted to move into some bylow and sell high candidates. A lot of people are asking questions about Levian Bell, and I am really interested in trading for Levian Bell myself because I think everyone kind of has this this nasty taste in their mouth
right now because the efficiency hasn't been good. He's been getting a ton of volume, but obviously playing alongside Luke Falk, I mean, he hasn't really had much too, you know, much space to run with ultimately, um, but I'm looking at of the snaps on the season for Levian Bell that is second among running backs, behind only Christian McCaffrey. He's third, and opportunity share, which is the percentage of total team running back carries plus targets they're passed the by.
He has thirty two targets on the season, which is fifth among running backs. And that's you know, with having a bye week already behind him. Their upcoming schedule, listen to this. They're going up against the Cowboys, who are twenty five against the run. Then they get the Patriots
second against the run, tough matchup. Then the Jaguars against the run, Dolphins thirty second against the run, Giants eighteenth against the run, Washington against the run, Oakland tenth against the run, Cincinnati thirty one, Miami thirty second, Baltimore and Pittsburgh nineteen. And you know, Levian Bell is going to be hyped up for that Pittsburgh Steelers game. So if you can buy Levian Bell right now, e y, I
think you might actually be able to do it. I don't think it's one of those things where you know, his name value is too high, like yeah, telling people to buy DeAndre Hopkins, that's obvious, But people might actually be worried about Levian Bell right now. And I think now is the time to buy, yeah, the super good time to buy. The reality is his you know, his production hasn't been great, but he is the He is
the running game there for sure. Uh and his quarterback right now is is Luke fall So they don't have to respect the past. Um. None of the wide receivers there have really anything crowd or had a whole bunch of catches. But I mean, may you know, basically off the line of scrimmage, no yards, Robbie Anderson hasn't showed up at all yet. Sam Donald coming back will change this team's fortunes once he's healthy. If he plays this week,
I don't think it will be a big deal. But if you're you know, if you're three and one or you're you know, you're a team that can afford to wait for Levian Bell to kind of come around. Right now is a time to buy because he's his his production will increase. You know, he's going to start producing fantasy points. Um, the workload is already there, and you just said another name, e y, I want to move
over to wide receiver real quick, Mike Evans. You know, I think a lot of people and I've been getting ton of questions all week long on Twitter regarding Mike Evans. Should I trade him? Should I try to acquire him? You know, people see the zero that he's coming off of the fact that he's been really inconsistent this year. Outside of that one monster game that we saw where he had three touchdowns against the New York Giants, he's still wide receiver twelve on the season, even with a
zero s tweek. He has tied with Chris Godwin with twelve red zone targets, leading the Tampa Bay Bucks so far this season. He has of the targets here in thirty five percent of their areas, so they're still targeting him down the field. You I know that he's been inconsistent. I think better days are coming. I think that he's going to be involved this week, and again you can actually pray on fantasy owners right now who are frankly fed up with Mike Evans because of the inconsistency that
he's shown so far this season. Is this one that you would actually jump in on? Or do you think that Chris Godwin is the guy here and he's going to just take ups, He's gonna take so much away from Mike Evans that you actually don't feel good about trading for Mike Evans right now? How do you feel you w Yeah, I think Mike Evans is the number one there, but the reality is that we've got to accept that Chris Godwin is what a lot of people thought he was going to be, and he's a He's
a low end one or a high end number two receiver. Um, I feel like Godwin is key right now is benefiting because he's getting the better coverages. Teams know that Mike Evans is the number one receiver and they're covering him as such, so Godwin gets the favorable matchups and and he's producing. This is going to happen all year. I don't know if it's a guy that I would trade for or try to go after unless I was desperate at wide receiver. And you need a number one, because
he definitely can be a number one. But I think the inconsistency of production is going to be a thing that that plagues him all season as long as Godwin's healthy. If Godwin's there and Evans there, they're both going to eat into each other's production. There's only one football to go around, and Tampa Bay is in the business of winning football games, not padding fantasy stats. So that it's
just it's going to keep happening. And it's not the first time that we've seen inconsistency out of Mike Evans either. You know, this has really been a part of his career for a while. He does have you know that that week week lenning week. I can't talk you why you would think I know how to talk, right, It's something I know how to do. League winning upside. We know that Mike Evans has that on a per game basis. Uh, personally,
I would be trying to buy if that's possible. I had a few other names, but maybe we'll we'll get to those tomorrow because I have a new segment type thing that I want to introduce real quick. I will mention Devontay Freeman as a sell high candidate uh Edo Smith has seen nine red zone opportunities this year. DeVonta
Freeman has seen just seven. And really throughout the course of Devontay Freeman's career, what made him as viable for fantasy as he was was being used in the red zone and being the unquestioned leader in red zone cut carries for his respective team and being used in that part of the field. But now Edo Smith is, you know, climbing into that and affecting that production for DeVonta Freeman.
And overall this offensive line is not good. They're banged up there twenty seven and run blocking on DeVonta Freeman coming off a game where he just caught a ton of passes had a touchdown as well. So if you can sell Devontay Freeman for an RB two a wide receiver too, it's something that I would look into doing. Now why I'm gonna introduce this to you, And I had this thought last night and it made a ton of sense to me. Uh So I want to get your thought on it as well and see if you agree.
But ultimately, the logic behind it is taking advantage of fantasy owners who have gotten off to a slow start. Whether they're oh in five like Gregg and myself, one in four, two in three, and they have good players that are on the by now. The reason why I bring this up is because people get crazy, man, when
it comes to fantasy football. You know, they start oh and five, they start one and four, two and three, and they have a Josh Jacobs on a Bye, a Darren Waller On, a by David Montgomery, a t Y Hilton. They look at that player and they realize, you can't help me this week. I need to win. My logic is trying to prey on those fantasy owners and take advantage of the fact that they might be freaking out that their team sucks. You know, we've all been there.
If you've been playing fantasy football for a long time, you get off to a slow start, you start you start thinking all crazy kinds of things. I say that you should be trying to buy those good players that are on bad fantasy team teams that are on by weeks right now, because those fantasy owners are freaking out. In this segment is called you Suck and we know it. The BFFs presents you Suck and we know it. Does it just suck being you suck so e, Why what
do you think about that? Is my logic fair and that we should be trying to take advantage of these owners who have good players on by, because I think it's something that's actually not talked about enough in the fantasy industry. Yeah, for sure. I mean the rounde is is you see this happen every year. I do my best. You know, I'm in the CBS lpon league. My team is really good, like really really good, and I haven't won yet. I haven't won at all, So I'm I'm
I'm just being cautious. People are trying to reach out and take players from me. I got a couple of injuries. There's no I our spots for some reason, which is super frustrating. Um I got s Kwan Barkley. So that's why I'm complaining about that. But the reality is is football is this kind of in between Fantasy football is in between world where look, look, you can only be
so patient. I mean, if you're oh and five, I mean, the reality is, the numbers say that you're probably not going to make it in the playoffs unless you have a super deep playoff format, if you know, like six eight teams get in So if you got the top four, only get in the realities is you're probably not gonna make it. You're going to lose more games. You're not going to run the table and win every single game. I know. I know that that can happen. Uh, And and I play every game. I could be oh in
ten and I'm still trying to win every week. It doesn't matter to me. I play out every single game. But the reality is is you've got to measure where your patience is. Players are going to come after you and try to get players like that. If you're a team that needs to win, you can't be trading for a guy on the on buys either. You need to win. You need to win this week. So it's it's finding that in between of like, I gotta life for this week, but I also got to to organize my bench and
my team for the future as well. So like for me, like holding onto someone like uh Latavius Murray. Latavius Murray has been non existent, which I don't think anybody could have guessed, especially with how much he was using the preseason. Latavius Murray Murray is a guy I have eno a few teams and look, I'm just going to hold him because the reality is is my belief is Kamara is being used a ton. He's not a great big guy. He does get banged up. It's part of football, especially
in the running back position. And if Camara goes down, Murray's going to get all of the use. So that's a guy that you want to hold. So you just got to make your own decisions at your own time. But I do like your technique of going after these teams that are losing and they're desperate, they're trying to win this week. They got guys on buys. Maybe they can barely even roster a full a full squad. You can go in get a number one guy for a REP, for a for a second or third tier guy. It's
a really really good strategy, especially if you're comfortable. Yeah, so if you're three and two, four and one, five, and oh, you're sitting pretty right now, you want to pray on these owners. And I will throw out a name that I would be trying to buy right now who was on a bye week, and that is Josh Jacobs posted career highs across the across the board in week five. Yes, it's been a very brief career. He's only played in five games, but I like to see that he is starting to see more work as the
season goes on. Twenty six carries, twenty three yards, four targets, and three receptions. I think that is massive for his value because early on in the season he wasn't being targeted at all if they would fall behind, they weren't
using him in the past game at all. Coming out of the bye, his schedule is amazing, going up against the Packers, Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals, Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Jacksonville, and the Los Angeles Chargers again. He's tied for six in the NFL in red zone rushing attempts, and the Oakland Raiders offensive line third in run and blocking. They got Richie Incognito back recently they
have They've had a few injuries as well. Once they get all these guys back, their offensive line is going to be really, really good. One E y, I am trying to buy Josh Jacobs from a struggling owner right now. Is there any names on the by that you would be targeting from a Darren Waller at T E Y Hilton, David Montgomery, maybe even a Josh Allen in a super flex league. Can I interest you in any of those names? Euy? Yeah, Actually Josh Allen was the guy that I was gonna
bring up. You know, I know that he got that concussion, went down and stuff, but I feel like this guy is a guy gonna be a guy that's going to improve. Buffalo Bills are proven that. Look at they're kind of the real deal. They're kind of they're kind of a good team. Uh. The defeat the defense is great. Uh. Frank Gore is the Infinity Stone and is just going
to run the ball forever. Um. And Josh Allen is a guy that, like if you're streaming quarterbacks now or you you lost a quarterback, um, you know, this is a guy that you could go after, especially in a bye week, you might be able to pick him up for super cheap and he could you could ride him for the rest of the season. Frank Gore will now be referred to as the Infinity Stone for the rest of the existence when it comes to the fantasy bfs.
And you know what's sad about that? E why Greg Sussman would not even understand the reference that's uh sad it doesn't watch. I'm just through the point where I can't even talk to him. We're supposed to be friends, but Gregg makes it so hard, man, I swear you know. Look, I haven't seen Terminator. Admittedly, there are a lot of classics that I have not seen, but I've seen Star Wars at least, like I've seen the Avengers movies. Greg, someone who prides himself in knowing pop culture as well,
wouldn't understand what the Infinity Stone is. He would understand any culture. And you can't see the Avengers movies, then your license is revoked. You don't know pop culture because it's a massive part of culture. Some of the highest grossing movies in the world. You suck and we know it. Try to acquire Josh Jacobs, Josh Allen, Darren Waller, and t Y Hilton. If you ken he's e y Eric Young. I am Frank Standfeld. We'll be back to again tomorrow.

So what did I happen? What did I happens? Here's what you missed on the VFS. You know, there was
a video from Antonio Brown. I don't really want to give this guy the publicity, give him the time of day, but I thought it was worth mentioning. It's kind of comical. It's hysterical even, you know, talking about how the Patriots may as well play him because they owe him money.
It's like, was I've never seen I've never seen an athlete e y fall off the deep end like this this quickly, and you know, it's actually it's sad to watch because he is super talented, probably one of the I don't know three most talented wide receivers in the game still now today, even at the advanced age that he is. But you know, after everything that he did basically once he was released from the Patriots, you know, calling out Robert Craft and calling out basically anyone who's
ever had any type of uh domestic violence, issue. It's just crazy that he would post a video like this. So, Dan, if you have that loaded up, let's let's play what Antonio Brown had to say yesterday regarding the Patriots. Have you got having a beautiful day? You gotta follow the Patriots? Tell him calling me? They still got to pay me, so let me ernie xfl and never be. That was not even in the question. Okay, so here him you here?
I mentioned there. You know they gotta pay me. He's filing like grievances against the Patriots and he should get a signing bonus. So he's basically saying, uh, you might as well play me if if you gotta pay me. So I don't think that's how it's gonna work when it comes to the New England Patriots, especially after everything that he did with Robert Kraft, uh said about him and tweeted about him. So I just don't know what's going on with Antonio Brown. Why have you ever seen
anything to this extent? Like I was trying to think of an example downstairs. Unfortunately, we've seen a lot of football players suffer from mental illness later on in their life, but maybe not to this level. I don't know. I don't know that he's even been diagnosed with anything, but just pretty crazy, man. Yeah, I mean I feel like he always was kind of like known as the he's the wide receiver, is a bit of a diva. That's that,
the other, but this is another thing altogether. Like, look, man, that's your your grievances with the NFL and your appeals to get paid for doing nothing like that's private stuff. I mean, on I don't care or want to know about it. Um, It's just it's crazy how quickly this happened. You mean, like he went to the Raiders and you think, oh, if he seems happy and him and Derek Herr, you know, have this decent relationship and it could be this thing.
And then okay, he's not practicing, and he's he burned his feet and he won't wear the helmet, and it's just been literally one thing after another, and quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I don't I don't care about what you're got, what you got going in your life. I could care less go away. And he imagined the XFL too, because he was doing like a live periscope and people were asking him about the XFL. So he
basically shot that down. H E. I don't know if you want to fill anybody in on where you work that it won't have an opportunity to sign Antonio Brown. But ultimately I wait to play XFL fantasy. Yeah, that's that is gonna be a lot of fun. They will have XFL fantasy. They're gonna have betting for the XFL as well, So looking forward to that once the NFL season winds down.
