Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host Justin Boone, the lead

0:18.1

fantasy analyst at The Score. Thank you so much for joining us today.

0:21.8

We're going to have one of our favorites on here in a second.

0:23.9

Dwayne McFarlane of Fantasy Life jumping on with us shortly.

0:27.2

Always love getting Dwayne's thoughts this time of year.

0:29.7

And we've already covered a lot this week.

0:31.6

We talked about the latest injuries.

0:33.5

We went over the top waiver ads on Monday's show.

0:35.8

Then I pulled out the panic meter on Tuesday's episode.

0:38.5

I ran through 12 players who people might be worried about right now.

0:42.0

Some of them I'm very concerned about too.

0:44.0

Others I actually think you could either hold or go out and try to acquire them as buy

0:47.8

lows at the moment.

0:48.8

But really, if you want to see how I'm valuing every single player, you just go look at

0:53.0

my updated trade value chart. That went up on Wednesday morning over at the score. And before we get Dwayne in here, why don't we use that chart? Let's find three more by-low players who you could try and go out and acquire this week as we try to take your roster and frank it up, just like our friends at Frank's Red Hot. And the first name on my list is Keenan Allen. He's been out since the opener with a hamstring injury, but he's back at practice this week. Hopefully he'll be ready to start against the Texans. But it's not necessarily just about this week. It's what he can give you the rest of the season because when he's healthy, he's a top 15 fantasy receiver. This is a guy who has at least 97 catches in each of the last five seasons, and he was off to a strong start in week one. He had four catches for 66 yards before he got hurt, and he only played a third of the game and had those numbers. So see if you can get Alan now before he comes back and reminds everybody just how good he is. Next up on my by-lows, Miles Sanders. And for this one, you're trying to capitalize

1:45.4

on a down week. 44 yards from scrimmage, no touchdowns, but he is the clear lead back in a

1:50.5

very high-powered Eagles offense. We saw him post solid outings in the first two weeks, 15 touches

1:56.1

for 105 yards in a score in week one, 20 touches for 86 yards in week two, and then we'll see what he can do against that Jaguars front this Sunday. But with Jalen Hertz and the passing attack looking almost unstoppable at the moment, defenses are going to have to focus on them. That's going to leave room for Sanders to work. Plus, the Eagles have one of the best offensive lines in the league, and they have one of the easiest schedules the rest of the way.

2:18.3

So lots of wins, lots of positive game scripts for Sanders, and even though he doesn't offer much in the passing game, he could still be a solid low-end RB2 the rest of this season. The last name on my list, DeAndre Hopkins, and he won't be ready to come back until week seven. and he's still serving that suspension.

2:33.7

But what you're going to do here,

2:35.1

you're going to check on the team with Hopkins.

2:36.6

You're going to see what their record is. If they're 1 and 2, if they're 0 and 3, they might not have time to wait for them. So you could potentially swoop in, give them a player who they can use in their lineup right now, in exchange for Hopkins who's going to have more upside later. there's some risk here for sure but if you're a contender having that potential fantasy wide receiver
