00:00And it's C. D. Lamb. What a polarizing figure on a polarizing team in a polarizing season.

00:09I can go on and on, but take it away.

00:13Seems everything is polarized. That's I think what you're getting at. Uh, and C. D. Lamb

00:16also had dealing with a back issue on top of dealing with a quarterback issue, which

00:21is the fact that he has to play with Cooper Rush now, rest of season, or maybe Trey Lance.

00:24Uh, I don't know. Uh, let's see against Philly, 10 targets, six receptions for 21 whopping

00:31yards, 21. There you go. I mean, you're not excited about that, man. I guess not. Maybe,

00:36uh, put the shades on. Maybe we'll see C. D. Lamb a little better. See what I did there.

00:40It's a son joke about catching touchdowns. Anyway, uh, that wasn't the only crappy thing

00:44that we saw in the last week in that building down in Texas. We saw a lot of crap Friday

00:51nights. Well, uh, but let's talk about the, uh, C. D. Lamb trade value because that is

00:56the thing right now. What can you get for C. D. Lamb? And believe it or not, over on

01:00fantasy pros, we have that data of the most executed trades over the last week. And I

01:05thought this is always a fun thing to come back and take a look at the most popular deals.

01:10And one of the most popular deals or the most was swapping C. D. Lamb for Tyra kill. So

01:15I wanted to discuss which side of this deal I'd want to be on because although C. D.

01:20Lamb is a guy theoretically of, you know, one of the number one picks in fantasy, just

01:25like Tyree kill, I can't imagine him having any opportunity to live up to that potential

01:31over the last couple of weeks of the season with Cooper rush. It just doesn't seem to

01:34be where things are going to go. Um, I want to give the Eagles defense credit. There are

01:39very good. Um, some of the matchups that C. D. Lamb has going forward, Washington, again,

01:45secondaries played better, but there's not elite, the giants Cincinnati. So there are

01:49some good matchups here, Carolina Tampa. So I think if you look at the matchups, you would

01:54say C. D. Lamb, but instead I'm going to look at the other side and I'm going to say, give

01:57me Tyree kill and give me to, uh, give me a capable quarterback because a wide receiver

02:03can only be as good as the guy throwing on the football. So this is very tight. I think

02:07if you're thinking with your schedule, fantasy nerd brain, you're looking at the schedule

02:12of C. D. Lamb, but I don't think you're taking into account. Well, you have to execute it

02:16and maybe I'm wrong here. Uh, but I think Tyree kills a side I'd want to be on, but

02:20it is very close because he'll is also a player that has shown you he's not a hundred percent

02:24healthy and nor has he really lived up to his draft day value either. So these are two

02:29guys, arguably the number one overall picks being swapped for each other. Matt, do you

02:32have a side that you want to be on? Do you want to be on the schedule side or the QB

02:36side? I was originally leaning Hill based off of just the fact that two is a bit more

02:40seasoned. But then when you started running off the schedule, look, even if C. D. Lamb

02:43goes out there and in drone mode and kind of just doesn't care and sticks his hand out

02:47there, Cooper Rush is still a national football league quarterback. You, me, and most of the

02:52people in our sphere are not. So based off that strength of schedule, when I know about

02:56those teams, secondaries, I would definitely lean on lamb just again, based off of his

02:59talent. Even if he's apathetic, I just think again, he hit him in the chest and he catches

03:03a couple of touchdowns. So yeah.
