Deep dives
Trade Market and In-Season Strategies
In-season trading in the NFL is typically less common compared to other sports due to the complexity of integrating new players into established systems. This podcast discusses how the increasing analytical approach in the NFL might lead to more trades as teams look to offload aging or underperforming players for draft picks. Additionally, Devontae Adams' potential trade speculation highlights the dynamics of the trade market, particularly how player performance and injuries can impact a team's decision-making. The hosts emphasize the need for savvy trading strategies utilizing their redraft trade calculator to evaluate trade offers effectively.
Devontae Adams and Raiders' Future
Devontae Adams is currently a focal point of trade discussions as signs suggest he may not finish the season with the Raiders. The podcast highlights his preferred landing spots, with the Jets and Saints mentioned, based on his prior connections to quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr. Analyzing potential impacts on the Raiders' offense without Adams, the hosts predict that Jacoby Myers and Trey Tucker could see increased roles and target shares. Furthermore, they suggest that Brock Bowers could emerge as a valuable asset, particularly in a tight end-heavy role, making the Raiders’ offensive future intriguing despite Adams' uncertain status.
Evaluating Running Backs: Bijon Robinson and Breece Hall
Concerns around running backs Bijon Robinson and Breece Hall losing touches to their backups have sparked panicked reactions among fantasy players. The hosts argue that while both backup players, Tyler Algier and Breelan Allen, are capable, they do not diminish the core running strengths of Robinson and Hall. Each player still boasts significant receiving roles that maintain their fantasy viability despite fluctuating game scripts. The commentary suggests that now might be an ideal time to acquire Robinson, particularly due to upcoming favorable matchups that could restore confidence in his production.
Tight End Position and Player Performance
The podcast addresses the volatile tight end landscape, specifically focusing on players like Dallas Goddard and Mark Andrews who are underperforming relative to expectations. With Goddard's value peaking after a strong performance, the suggestion is to capitalize on this by trading him while his perceived value is high. Andrews, meanwhile, is discussed as being a player with diminished production and performance, prompting a recommendation to explore trade options for greater upside. Their fading roles in high-stakes offenses indicate a possible shift in fantasy relevance, urging listeners to be proactive in securing better positions.
Panic and Prospects for Jalen Hurts
The episode reveals that despite Jalen Hurts’ recent struggles, buying him now could yield substantial returns post-bye week. With key offensive weapons like AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith expected to return, Hurts’ potential to reclaim high-level production has fantasy owners excited for upcoming matchups. The commentary suggests that trading for him during this dip in performance could be fruitful as his playoff schedule is strong. The discussion emphasizes the importance of tactically navigating player value fluctuations to secure key assets for down the stretch.
