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

Thank you so much for spending some time with us today.

We're going to have the score's NFL insider Jordan Schultz joining the show a little bit later, and we're going to talk about the Matt Rule firing and the Christian McCaffrey trade rumors and who else could be dealt before the NFL trade deadline on November 1st. That's just a couple weeks away here. but before we get to that, the early edition of my rankings,

they were published over on the score Tuesday night,

the updated version. first that's just a couple weeks away here but before we get to that the early addition of my rankings they were published over on the score Tuesday night

the updated version of my trade value charts they're available too so give those a

look for sure because we got buy weeks entering the mix now and that's an opportunity

to check in on some of those struggling teams in your league see if they have guys

on buy who they really can't afford to have

sitting on their bench for a week.

And maybe you could swing a two for one deal. You get a star player off them. You give them a couple decent starters and you're trying to help them win now, but really what you want is the best player out of that deal. And I got a couple of players in mind for that type of trade. So let's take a look at this week's buy low trade targets as we try to take your roster and frank it up just like our friends at Frank's Red Hot. And the first spot on the list, it does go to those guys who are on by who you might be able to get a slight discount on depending on how their managers doing in your league. But there's two that I want to talk about specifically. It's DeAndre Swift and a Munra St. Brown because there is a good chance that the managers with those two guys, they probably limped through the last couple weeks here. Swift played limited snaps in week three. Then he missed the last two games with shoulder and ankle injuries. And you had St. Brown. He was held out in week four. He barely played in week five.

But before that, don't forget that a healthy Swift, he posted 175 yards from scrimmage

and a touchdown against a really tough Eagles defense in the opener.

He even put up 87 yards and a score in week two, despite the fact that he was already

banged up in that game.

And St. Brown, he was just as good, if not better in the early weeks. 321 yards and three touchdowns in those first three games. He was averaging double-digit targets per game as well. Both guys are top 10 at their position when healthy for fantasy. And since they've been hurt, they're now on the buy. There is no better time to make an offer and try to get them because once they're back, as long as they can stay in the field, they're going to be huge difference makers in fantasy lineups. And the schedule isn't scary at all for them. They even get the Jets, the Panthers, and the Bears during the fantasy playoffs. So do your best to try to get out there and get Swift and Brown this week. You should also be making offers on Drake London.

The rookie got out of the gates really quick.

5 for 74 in his debut, 8 for 86 in a touchdown in week two, 3 for 54 in a touchdown in week 3.

However, he has cooled off a bit in the last two weeks.

Now the targets were still there, though his snaps did dip in week 5, but that likely had more to do with him landing on his knee, came out of the game, he got checked out. He is back at practice today on Wednesday, so not really concerned about that one at all. And he is clearly the top pass catcher in Atlanta when he's on the field. That schedule is going to get a lot easier for him in the second half of the season. And we see rookies do their best work in the back half of their first year. So now is the time to strike. See if you can get him before his numbers ramp back up. And then the last player on my list, it's Elijah Mitchell. And you're probably wondering, why am I recommending trading for a player who is still a few weeks away from coming back? But it's really because I think this is the time you're going to get the best deal for him. No one is thinking about Mitchell right now. We haven't got an update in a while. The original expectation was that he was going to miss eight weeks. That would have him returning around week nine, but the 49ers are on buying week nine. So good chance we're going to see him back for week 10, and then you would have him for the stretch run. And when he's healthy, he'll step right back into that lead role in San Francisco. He got off to a great start in week 1, 41 yards on six carries before he got hurt. And I know Jeff Wilson, he's been solid in his absence, but Wilson isn't a star. He's not a game breaker.

Mitchell can be that.

And he's got some really nice matchups in the final two months, including the Seahawks and that ever-important first week of the fantasy playoffs. So if you're in good shape, you got a winning record, your team strong, you're looking for somebody to help pull you over the top when it matters most. you go out, you get Mitchell, you put them in your IR spot, and you'll have a quality
