Welcome everyone to the SCORE fantasy football podcast.

0:16.9

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score.

0:20.3

Appreciate you downloading and listening to the show today.

0:23.0

Hopefully you already checked out Monday's Waverware episode.

0:26.1

And then Tuesday, I went over my 12 biggest takeaways from week one.

0:29.8

Things that you can use to adjust your fantasy outlooks moving forward.

0:33.4

You can try to capitalize on that stuff now before everybody else in your league catches up.

0:54.3

Now, today, we're going to keep analyzing what we learned in week one. We're also going to start to shift our focus to week two with our guest, Joe Pizpia of fantasy pros. But before we get him in here, you know what time it is. Let's take a look at my top trade targets this week as we kick things up a notch with our friends at Frank's Red Hot. Let's Frank it up. And the first name on my list heading into week two,

0:58.2

Trey McBride on the Cardinals. The third year tight end had a fairly quiet day in

1:02.1

week one, just five catches and 30 yards. However, he saw nine targets and a 29% target share

1:08.4

in that game. Those are outstanding numbers. Those are the second best

1:12.0

marks for any tight end after the first week. Much bigger days are on the way for McBride,

1:16.5

so try to trade for him now before he becomes untouchable. My next trade target this week,

1:21.6

Drake London, he only had two catches for 15 yards in the Falcon's opener, and maybe

1:26.5

more concerning was the fact that Kirk Cousins didn't look great coming off the Achilles tear. But the matchup wasn't helpful either. He had the Steelers and Joey Porter Jr. on the other side of the field. But I still believe in London's talent. We are not giving up on him after one down week. And the good news is that London ran a route on every single one of the Falcons pass plays. And then after the game, his head coach Rahim Morris said they need to get the ball to London more. So look for a bounce back in week two and beyond. And even if Cousins doesn't get back to form, they have the rookie Michael Pennix Jr. waiting in the wings to take over at quarterback. So I'm still valuing London as a fantasy wide receiver to the rest of the way. And then the final name on my trade targets list this week, Zay Flowers on the Ravens. He finished fourth on his own team for receiving yards in week one. That's why he makes it to this list as a by low. Six catches, just 37 yards in that loss to the chiefs. He did add two carries for 14 yards, but overall, it was a pretty muted fantasy performance from him.

2:22.3

He finishes the wide receiver 39 and half PPR leagues.

2:25.3

The reason I want to invest in him, though, he had the seventh most targets among all receivers on the week.

2:30.3

And that kind of volume mixed with his playmaking ability, that is going to keep him in the mix as a breakout candidate for year two he's a wide receiver three with wide receiver two fantasy upside the rest of the way and somebody that you are not going to be able to trade for at a discount much longer now if you want to get a better idea what kind of pieces you could put in a potential offer for mcbride or for london or for flowers Go take a look at my updated trade value charts over at the score. That's going to help show you which players might get a deal done and then get some trade offers out there and take your roster and frank it up, just like our friends at Franks Redhot. All right, let's get our guest in here, Joe Pissopia of fantasy pros. Joey P as he's known in the Fantasy Streets. You've heard him on the show before, though I think it's been a couple years. You might have also heard me on his show a bunch, and he is definitely one of my favorite people to podcast with. You can find him on Twitter or X at Joe Pissopia 17. I will also say, before we bring him in here, he is doing me a big favor today because I had someone cancel on me Monday night. We're not going to mention any names. It happens. Life gets in the way sometimes. But Joe was so quick to step up. He was so quick to jump on here. So I owe him one now. I hope that doesn't mean that I'm going to have to help him move someday or that he's

going to like ask for a ride to the airport or something. You got one in the bag for me now, Joe. So welcome back to the show, man. How you doing? Well, I think you're a liar because you said I'm one of your favorite people yet years. I don't think it's years. I think it's probably like maybe sometime early last season would be my guess.

3:58.0

I don't know, you got to look at the guest book.

3:59.7

But, you know, they guess. I don't know,

you got to look at the guest book. But, you know, they always say that, you know, when Taylor Swift
