Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

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

Glad to have you listening to the show today. We always appreciate that. And we also appreciate our guest who's going to be joining us shortly. Pat Fitzmorest of Fantasy Pros, always a great time having him on. Before we bring him in, though, let's take a look at my top trade targets this week as we kick things up a notch with our friends at Franks Redhot. Let's Frank it up. And the first name on my list heading into week seven? Christian Watson on the Packers. Since he returned from injury, he scored a touchdown on limited snaps in week four. He totaled 91 yards in week five. Now he's coming off the Packers by and he gets some really favorable matchups, including the Broncos, Vikings, Steelers, and Chargers over the next five weeks. He's going to be a strong wide receiver too during that stretch and he's the kind of upside play that you want in your lineup every single week. So send an offer out for him today. The next player I'm trying to acquire this week is Jerome Ford on the Browns. When he took over when Nick Chub got hurt, we knew Ford was going to have a really tough schedule in the first month. And yet, he still found a way to produce. He had two touchdowns against the Titans. He had five catches against the Ravens. And he had 91 yards on a season high 19 touches versus the 49ers last week. Now, Kareem Hunt did get more involved in that game, but Ford still out snapped and out touched him by a wide margin. More importantly, Ford has looked good since Chubb was lost for the season. And moving forward, he has got one of the easiest schedules for fantasy running back. So capitalize on all that chatter about Hunt getting more work and make a deal and get forward on your team.

1:45.4

And then the last player that I want to highlight, Taj Spears on the Titans.

1:49.4

If you listen to the show, you know how I feel about him already.

1:52.8

He was a strong prospect coming out.

1:54.9

He has just excelled on limited touches in that Titans offense over the first six weeks.

1:59.6

Now the Titan season just hangs in the balance here.

2:02.2

You have Ryan Tannihill, their starting quarterback hurt.

2:04.8

There's rumors that the team could trade away, their longtime star, Derek Henry.

2:08.6

And if that happens, or if Henry misses time at any point, Spears would be a league winner in fantasy.

2:14.2

So he might be on the waiver wire still.

2:16.2

In most competitive leagues, he's already rostered.

2:18.5

And if he is, time is running out to make a trade for him. So get on it. And I always say this, but if you're wondering which players you could send out in these trade offers, just go take a look at my trade value charts on the score. That's going to give you an idea which pieces might be able to get a deal done, and then and get some offers out there and take your roster and frank it up, just like our friends at Franks Red Hot.

2:37.6
