00:00it's never too early to start looking ahead at the trends and there are some leagues where people
00:05overreact and panic and i think you want to take advantage of that or at least recognize what did
00:09we say week one is a liar right so let's take a look at what we saw out of the eagles and the
00:14cowboys right because that's like the first game we saw and i think there's a lot you can learn
00:18from this aj brown might not be as healthy as we want him to be i'm just putting that out there
00:23okay that could be the problem there's no problem with devonta smith the game script just didn't go
00:28his way necessarily you know the big play that would have been devonta smith was a john dodson
00:32throw okay it happens it's football if this was week eight we'd all kind of you know just shrug
00:38our shoulders and move on and go on to week nine but it's week one so everybody's watching everything
00:43too much it's the equivalent of baseball season to april where we tell everybody don't get too
00:48excited don't get up or down about april too much it's not going to tell the tale but devonta smith
00:53is a player that i think is very steady he is a guy that i think you can count on every year with
00:59the stats you look at them they're very consistent if saquon barkley's healthy if he's not it's not
01:03going to matter i think his role is his role in this offense no matter what so i think he's an
01:07interesting buy low here because he is such a steady any kind of player a really good wide receiver
01:13three i think in any fantasy league everyone would love to have him but he was drafted more like a two
01:17in a lot of formats so i think there's an opportunity here to buy and it might be a safer one
01:22than aj brown because he's not dealing with a knee injury that got drained of fluid right he's
01:26healthy so always give me the healthy guy too if i'm going to buy low i'm sure a lot of people say
01:30aj brown's a buy low i like smith a little more i think it'll cost you a little bit less
01:35all right fair enough and with that let's pivot to a sell high candidate who do you got
01:40all right we'll sell high on the other side of this game is javante williams who had a great day
01:46two touchdowns but let's not forget jalen carter spit himself out of this game right so he wasn't
01:53around so that line is not the same without jalen carter in it let's not pretend like it is okay he's
02:00one of the best in the nfl what he does and hawking loogies apparently he's really good at as well but
02:04javante williams is a decent filler running back a decent bench guy but there could be this weird
02:10sentiment after this game where oh wow javante williams he's going to be the lead back and everything's
02:15going to be fine well maybe but is he going to have another two touchdown game all year
02:19it's possible but in terms of like looking at a player at their peak value and looking at the
02:25running back of you know landscape and other fantasy teams and what it looks like there's a
02:30window here where you look at javante williams and go okay his value is very high early on in
02:35september here coming off this first game he would be one of these chips i would see if i could trade for
02:39somebody else you look at somebody's other guys like caleb johnson right who gets moved down the
02:43depth chart do i think that's going to last do i really am worried about caleb johnson this year
02:47absolutely not they put draft capital into him he's going to play a lot more than you realize
02:52and if he doesn't play a lot in september don't panic this is what happens with rookies
02:56but who would i rather have rest of season caleb johnson or javante williams i'd much rather have
03:01caleb johnson i just think that is the path and these are the kind of trades you have to make
03:04and sometimes you have to hold your breath and hope that you're right but matt to me these are
03:08two situations where you can take advantage of right out of the gate week one
