Speaker 1: 12 away from 5. This is ESPN 1530 Mo Egger. On Thursdays, we talk fantasy football with our guy Dan Klaskens. The guy's been on the show for over 20 years. Dan Klaskens, host of Fantistics Insider Football on SiriusXM Fantasy.
00:00:18
Speaker 2: We missed you last week.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: It's good to have you back. What's going on?
00:00:22
Speaker 2: I missed talking to you fellas as well and definitely didn't miss fantasy football. What a great week we had. And Mo, the trade deadline is in the NFL, the trade deadline approaching in fantasy leagues. It is.
00:00:36
Speaker 1: It is. So let's walk through some trade deadline topics that our listeners need to be aware of.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of deals made. Not many of them are too much fantasy impact. out there. Kirk Cousins returning to Minnesota. The familiar surroundings, but don't automatically assume that's an immediate fantasy resurgence for him. Obviously, the biggest winner in this deal is going to be Justin Jefferson having somebody competent to throw him the football. We shall see what that looks like. Cousins himself will be more of a streamer, a super flex option. It does open up the door for Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas, and This one is obviously the future for the Raiders, so it makes a lot of sense. We will expect some rookie growing pains. I am a little bit concerned what this could do for Ashton Gentry, who's been dead in the running game, but still a fantasy asset in the passing game. Brock Bauer should still be good. Maybe he gets a little downgrade in the short run, but... And then you had the Colts. They didn't trade Jonathan Taylor, but they did trade two receivers, Josh Downs and Keenan Allen, to Kansas City and Sam Fram, respectively. And that's obviously a major shakeup. Downs, I know people are excited about him going to Kansas City. I would play the wait-and-see approach. I do like him potentially as a wide receiver. Three, as we move forward, Keenan Allen will be worthy in PPR leagues. But really, the base winner in that trade, Tyler Warren, assuming he plays out the season, a lot of targets up for grabs in India if you have the young tight end.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: No question about that. Be great if, like, Alec Pierce could get back on the field his way. I say that as an Alec Pierce owner and a Bearcat fan.
00:02:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're all fans of Alec Pierce, no doubt about it. But news isn't looking too good on a return this year for him. All right.
00:02:12
Speaker 1: Beyond Alec Pierce, let's talk about some Week 10 injuries worth paying attention to.
00:02:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of them there. The biggest one in fantasy coming out of last week, Puka Nakua. They're not going to be able to put him on IR because they're out of IR spots eligible to return there in L.A. But it is a multiple week absence here. It is a big concern for fantasy managers. And with less than that passing attack is even more concerning. Mike Evans with an Achilles issue didn't really go through at it again. We're watching Garrett Wilson with a concussion. Carnell Tate coming out of the. Biweek, after playing the Bengals, still has not practiced in the first two days with a shoulder issue. A.J. Brown with an ankle and knee issue. Did travel with the team to Munich and two consecutive limited practice. The biggest surprise over there today, that was Ramondre Stevenson. They were talking about maybe he's missing multiple games. Now he returned to limited practice. He's officially upgraded to questionable practice. The running backs I am worried about. Byshell Tootin has a practice all week for Jacksonville. They're playing Tennessee on Sunday, so they might well just give him a rest as he deals with ankle and foot issues. We've got Josh Jacobs going to miss a few weeks after going under finger surgery set for tomorrow. And Travis Achan, former ETN there with the hamstring, trying to work his way back. That Saints backfield has a nightmare written all over it, no matter how that one turns out.
00:03:28
Speaker 1: Dan Klaskens is with us, host of Fantistics Insider Football on SiriusXM Fantasy and InsiderFootball.com. Give me your Week 10 studs, duds, and sleepers.
00:03:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start with the studs. Brock Purdy is looking pretty good. San Fran's at Dallas. It's certainly a favorable matchup. It's one of the highest totals of the week. Purdy's efficiency is really just uncanny. And even if Mike Evans is unlikely to play, I think he's going to get it done regardless. So I'm treating him as a top five fantasy quarterback play. I'm also going with Jalen Warren at Cincinnati here on Sunday night. Obviously, the Bengals are a slight favorite in this matchup, but Warren just really offers multiple paths to production through carries and receptions, so he's game flow agnostic. I'm expecting a lot of points. The Bengals could win, but I think Warren's going to have a huge night. I've got him as a top 10 running back this week. On the dud side, Matthew Stafford at Arizona, as I mentioned, the coup is out. Devontae Adams is still out. They've got five tight ends and two running backs, Mo. They're going to run the football. And with Stafford's arm and a nice large spread here at Arizona, they're favored by. He can't be playable outside of super flex league this week. Ashton Gentry. I'm probably going to sit him, but man, he's outside my top 20 in the quarterback changes and helping. He's a dud as they travel to a tough matchup with the Seahawks and a couple sleepers. We'll give you one for Sunday in Munich, the Mario Douglas, who has really emerged here as almost a wide receiver to play. If you're looking for a deep PPR flex, I like him Detroit. They're still missing key pieces in that secondary. And Chig Okonkwo, my sleeper for tonight, get it out there. He's commanded 20.2% of the team targets over the last four games. The Giants have been more than effective at defending receivers, struggling a little bit against tight ends. I'm a little concerned about that win tonight, but I did just make a bet on the over four and a half receptions. I advise you to do the same. All right.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: We'll see if he's available for this evening. Veterans Day, obviously, Dan, yesterday. It's something we've been commemorating all week. You've got an awesome opportunity for folks to make an even bigger impact through do good fantasy donations to DAV being triple match right now. And there's still plenty of fantasy football left to play.
00:05:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it, Mo. And listen, man, happy Veterans Day out there. And Veterans Day might be over, but the need to help veterans, it doesn't end, Mo. They need our help every day. And DAV helps a million veterans a year in life-changing ways. And a great way to do it is through the generosity of our supporters. Do Good Fantasy, the salary cap challenge. Yeah, you can pay $ 30.

00:06:15
Speaker 1: Do good fantasy.com.
00:06:17
Speaker 2: I won both of my league.
00:06:18
Speaker 1: I didn't win the leagues. I won games in both of my leagues, seven and two and one, five and four and the other.
00:06:24
Speaker 2: I'm feeling it. I'm hot.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: Dude. I mean, maybe you should make, make a trade. No, you know, do something. You can never settle for good enough. I still think you could get better, man. Just if you make a trade, be sure that you know how it works out. Yeah. wonky stuff on the back end there.
00:06:44
Speaker 1: Unlike Duke Tobin, I know how to make a trade.
00:06:47
Speaker 2: Dan, you're the best. We'll talk next week. All right. Good luck and enjoy the game.
