00:00Keenan Allen. You've gotten me off of him. I've been off him for a while. Sell high on

00:08Keenan Allen. I think you can, uh, based upon name brand value, right? Uh, he had 11 targets

00:16last week, so that's great, right? That's something that's appealing to most people

00:19play fantasy football as it should be. Volume is king, right? But he only caught four of

00:22them. So Caleb Williams wasn't exactly getting off to the best start. Uh, and I think that's

00:27something to keep in mind. He's got Houston that Indy than the Rams coming up in this

00:31schedule, but he doesn't look healthy to me. And I think that's the thing. He's been dealing

00:35with some injuries coming in through camp. It seems to be lingering. They're lingering

00:39this week to, I think at this point, he's like a 32 year old wide receiver who has got

00:4310 years, uh, you know, in the bucket array. And I think that's enough where the known

00:49entity, if you ask me who I'd rather have rest of season, but I'd rather have Brian

00:53Thomas jr. Or when I rather have Keaton Allen and rather Brian Thomas jr. I think there's

00:58upside there. I feel better about the quarterback play with Lawrence than I do about, uh, Caleb

01:02Williams. And then the other guy, again, we have to sit and ask ourselves this question

01:07is Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey, I think is a cell. You hope that he comes

01:13back healthy. You hope that in a few weeks, he's Christian McCaffrey of old and maybe

01:18he will be, but what does your roster look like at that point? Now, if you picked up

01:22Jordan Mason, you can hold and just wait. That's fine. I think you have the insurance

01:26policy to wait, but if you don't, and you went hero RB with Christian McCaffrey and

01:30you don't love your depth, right? Let's say things are not working out for your running

01:33back room. Christian McCaffrey still brings a lot of weight. Um, Christian McCaffrey is

01:39going to be one of these players that I think you could still get more than you realize

01:42for him. If you could pull off Derrick Henry plus for him, I think you pick that in a heartbeat.

01:47I told you, I saw people trading him straight up for Brees hall before he went on the IR

01:51this week. So you're not going to get that deal anymore. That deal is off the table.

01:54Now that he went to the IR cause you know, he's going to definitively miss four weeks,

01:59but think of it this way. He's going to be missing five weeks cause you already missed

02:02one, right? It's already hurt you in week one. So for Christian McCaffrey, this is another

02:06one where I think the name brand recognition gives you back more than you realize. And

02:11I think the risk is going to be more than you want.
