| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. |
| 0:16.4 | I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score. |
| 0:19.6 | Appreciate you listening in and downloading the show today. We've got a great one for you. Nathan Yonke, a pro football focus, is going to be joining me shortly to help get you ready for week one. Nate does incredible work getting snap count data out almost immediately during games. He does it during the preseason. He does it during the regular season. This guy is unstoppable. |
| 0:37.9 | And he's a heck of a fantasy rancor as well. He was always up near the top in the Fantasy Pro's accuracy contest with me back when I used to do the accuracy contest. It's only been a year since I've been away from it. But it feels like it's been a lot longer than that. Either way, we're going to get Nate in here in a second. But first, I want to remind everyone, the first edition of my week one rankings went up on Tuesday. |
| 0:57.2 | So if you haven't given those a look, you should help give you a feel for how you could best set your lineup this week. And I'll be updating those on Thursday and on Sunday morning as well. I'll be doing that all year long. And then my in-season trade value charts slash rest of season rankings, whatever you want |
| 1:12.2 | to call them, they got published today so you can use those to try to build some trade |
| 1:15.8 | offers before week one, try and get out ahead before some of these young stars break out and |
| 1:20.6 | their values go through the roof. |
| 1:22.4 | And I'll keep updating those every Wednesday throughout the season. |
| 1:25.5 | But today, one addition to the weekly Wednesday preview shows this year is that I'm going to be giving you three players who I think you should be trying to trade for this week. So let's take a look at my top trade targets heading into week one as we try to take your roster and frank it up, just like our friends at Frank's Red Hot. And whenever you're trying to find good trade targets, what you're normally trying to do is just get ahead of the pack. You want to find a player whose value is going to go up over the next few weeks, maybe because people don't realize how good they are or how good their offenses or how good their schedule might be coming up. There's a lot of factors, but the main focus is finding players who are going to be better than your league mates realize over the next stretch of games. And you know what? I'm going to give you more than three this week because the first one on my list is that Denver Broncos offense as a whole. And I'm not saying it's going to be easy. I think people are excited about this attack now that Russell Wilson's in town. But we've seen this story play out before as recently as last year with Matthew Stafford, but it's also happened when Tom Brady went to Tampa or Peyton Manning to Denver, |
| 2:23.3 | when you have good skill position players already, and then you give them a massive quarterback upgrade, |
| 2:28.3 | fantasy managers sometimes underrate just how big the returns could be. |
| 2:32.3 | And my guess is that Javante Williams is going to be tough to acquire. |
| 2:35.5 | Everybody's really excited about his potential. |
| 2:38.0 | But Cortland Sutton, he was being drafted as a wide receiver two this year. |
| 2:41.5 | He has wide receiver one upside with Russ there. |
| 2:44.5 | Jerry Judy is probably the best trade target of this bunch because he didn't get as many headlines in the off season as Sutton did, but Judy |
| 2:51.6 | has the talent. He just hasn't shown it in terms of a big fantasy season yet. Injuries did play |
| 2:57.0 | a part in that and bad QB play definitely played apart in it. Now he's healthy. Now he's got a strong |
| 3:02.4 | quarterback to build chemistry with. And the reports have said that Wilson is working closely with |
| 3:06.8 | Judy to help him try |
| 3:08.1 | to break out this season. So could have some Stafford Cooper Cup similarities there. Not that Judy's |
