Trading Bench Depth for Colston Loveland

Is Jaxon Smith-Njigba officially the best receiver in football? Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson have some strong opinions on that and plenty more in this week's Extra Point!

The guys answer listener questions about DeVonta Smith, Chase Brown, Sam Darnold, and some difficult Week 9 lineup decisions. They also examine Colston Loveland's recent surge and what it means for his fantasy value.

Plus, should you trade your best players when you're sitting at 1-6? Welsh and Erickson offer practical advice for turning around a disappointing fantasy season.
