Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. Thanks for listening. This week's topic is centered around real life NFL
trade candidates and what we should do with them from a Dynasty point of view.
Are they by hold or sells? The actual NFL trade deadline is October
thirty first, so the timing is perfect to get this content right to you
delivered to then make some decisions about these five players. If not, make
you consider other names that are on the same team in a similar environment.
You get the idea Before I get to that. A quick reminder about my
Halloween roster call promotion over on Google Meet. Thirty minutes thirty dollars is a
normal price. I'll give you ten percent off that for the next week or
so, and then usually one hour is fifty hours. I'll give you thirty
one percent off based on October thirty first, So that is ten percent off
a thirty minute call or thirty one percent off a one hour call. It
figure still Hit me up on social media that is Dinasty do pod on Instagram
or Twitter, the Dinastute on Facebook, or even easier, send me an
email that's Dynasty dopod at gmail dot com. Once again, it's for a
roster call promotion only until the end of October. So I have five real
life NFL trade candidates. There were two other names I wanted to include,
and I'll tell you preface right now. Those were Saquon Barkley and about To
Adams. However, both the Giants and Raiders came forward and mentioned that neither
player will be traded. I don't fully believe that. I'd say it's ninety
ninety five percent true based on the direction of each franchise and what could go
south based on their records. Then again, it could be a trade tactic
to where it makes teams covet something that might not be available. So it
could be a psychology element of making those players top of mind to in need
of a top tier running back wide receiver. Yet, the five examples are
about to discuss are more realistic trade candidates that could have an impact in fantasy
football. Up first, and these are no specific order, is Deontay Foreman
with the Chicago Bears. He's twenty seven. He signed a one year free
agent contract with the Bears for twenty twenty three. He's a trade block chip
for Chicago to offer for those in need of running back help for the second
half of the season. It's still only week eight for real life purposes.
Foreman is a UFA in twenty twenty four. That means um restracted free agents,
and it seems unlikely he's going to mold or fit with the Bears current
rebuild timeline with two first round picks in twenty twenty four, one being their
own and the other being from Carolina with the Bryce Young blockbuster trade for pick
one oh one in twenty twenty three. We do have Khalil Herbert who is
on IR with a henkel sprain, while rookie running back Roshan Johnson remains sidelined
with concussion. It does sound like Rochean has a really good chance of return
in Week eight, so keep close tabs on mat. But back to Foreman
himself. He flourished in Week seven sixteen carries eighty nine yards, two touchdowns
on the ground, and then three thirty one for a touchdown as a receiver
that was verse the Las Vegas Raiders. Prior to his recent outburst, Foreman
saw five or sixteen in the ground and then two catches eight yards in Week
one versus Green Bay then disappeared entirely, didn't earn a single touch from weeks
two to five, resurfacing in Week six versus Minnesota fifteen sixty five in the
ground, one catch, two yards. So Week seven was indeed Foreman's best
showing of twenty twenty three, which I consider then makes him a screaming cell
high in Donze Format's coming off what should be his best game of the campaign,
whether he stays for Chicago or is trade because eventually, once Roshan and
Khleil Herbert got back in the mix, Deontae could be inactive again or just
playing second third fiddle to the running back pecking order in Chicago. We've seen
form in excel as a feature back in the past with Houston, Tennessee or
even Carolina. His recent success with the Bears is a reminder of what he
can accomplish as a volume driven weapon on early downs. He is a rhythm
downhill runner. He needs a lot of touches to a crew. Fancy stats
not going to be a per touch efficiency extraordinaire. That's not Foreman's game or
skill set. Make no mistake that Herbert is Chicago's preferred leadback. Went healthy
while Roashawn Johnson could easily become or develop into RB one of the future for
the franchise. That leaves Foreman in a tough spot to assess, not only
in fans football, but also in the real NFL trade market. I can't
imagine Chicago keeping him, knowing the direction their franchise is headed, when they
could easily net a Day three pick or somewhere close to that range in twenty
twenty four or twenty twenty five for an NFL squad that needs running back depth
or a legitimate starter that went healthy is proven to be a formidable option.
Zach Ertz. He turns thirty three in November. He's cooled off a bit
as of late after a red hot start. He has at least six receptions
in three contests to date eight more targets in three different weeks. It continuing.
The NFL team in need of a veteran presence or starting caliber tight end
should strongly consider trading a Day two or Day three pick four earths who's under
contract so club control until twenty twenty five. That is appealing for any team
interested in his services. Potentially the reason why I think Ertz could be a
trade candidate most is sophomore tight end Trey McBride suddenly earning or seeing an increased
amount of playing time. He had a fifty eight percent snap rate in week
six at LA Rams and then a fifty three percent snapbrate in week seven at
Seattle. Conversely, Ertz saw a dip in usage starting in week six with
his lowest route run share of only forty six point two percent for the year,
couple with a season lowe snaps of forty six percent. Week seven he
had a fifty three percent snapbrate. So it was that even Ertz fifty three
percent of snaps and then McBride fifty three percent of snap So that shows it's
now a committee or possibly competition for who sees more work from here on out,
assuming that Ertz remains a member of the Arizona Cardinals organization. Week seven
was also another medication that the Cardinals are looking to incorporate McBride more over arts
see what they have and a talented former top prospect in the game itself.
Facing Seattle, McBride went three for twenty nine on six targets, Ertz three
for nineteen on four targets, so it was pretty steady and or consistent for
each in terms of target share and catches. McBride had the slight edge on
yardage. All of that being said, coming full circle, if Ertz does
not move NFL homes prior to the trade deadline, then there's hope his value
re enters the Titan wind mix once Kyler Murray is under center at quarterback,
which could be as soon as Week eight. I don't think Arizona should necessarily
rush him. That's not my decision, of course, but the bottom line
is that if you need help a tight end, Ertz could get the job
done in Arizona, or more optimistically, a trade candidate to a veteran team
hurting a tight end that could really use that boost or upgrade of the position.
Therefore, check game with whoever has am rostered in your league. If
it's tightaned premium even better, it's see you could swoop in and acquire Ertz
based on age for a mid to late third. I think that's fair game
for both parties. How about Michael Carter does not turn twenty five until May
has become somewhat of an afterthought and the Jets backfield on the priest saw is
at or nearing full capacity. Or health. Meanwhile, Alvium coax efficiency has
been dreadful, with a two point uppercare average on thirty nine rushes two date.
Even so, Carter has seen little to no volume with six carries nine
receptions on the season before the Jets enter week eight out of a week seven
by don't forget Carter slid the fourth round out of North Carolina on twenty twenty
one. Brings a featured skill set to the table to spite a smaller body
frame at five A two one could be a fantasy viable asset in a different
NFL backfield. Jets are simply surplus at running back. Let's reflect back though
Macarter did as working in sophomore at the pro level twenty twenty one, A
one forty seven six thirty nine four rushing log four point three yards per carrey
and then thirty six three twenty five on fifty five targets twenty twenty two is
a sophomore one fourteen four h two and three on the ground three and a
half yards per tot. So we saw regression negatively from a volume, efficiency
and yardage standpoint. On the flip side, with saw an increase in receiving
usage forty one grabs two eighty eight through the air on fifty four targets.
The receiving capabilities are the component of carter skill set that I am most intrigued
by in a different setting, a different NFL team, fifty five targets yeer
one, fifty four targets year two. He's nowhere near that threshold or outcome
year three because of Dalvin Cook eating into his RB two role, let alone
Breese Hall being the presumed starter rest of season. I don't foresee as a
result of an expanded role for Carter within the Jets on the horizon by an
injury ahead of him on the depth chart, especially with Izzy Abanaconda waiting the
Wings as a developmental talent who is a home run hitter that could literally lift
the lid off defense and win the Jets a week. The eventual combination of
Breese Hall and Izzy could end of a bounty to one of the better running
back duos in terms of pure explosion in the position in short time. Listen,
I'm stashing Carter in Dynasty with the hope of real life trade to salvage
or resurrect his value. The hope is that an RBBC opens up for him
to become a change of pace member or leading a RBBC eventually, and that
allows Carter to become, for the sake of our setting a flex or Bobby
Fillin. If he doesn't get traded, then the Jets clearly value his leader
ship and depth when it comes to security behind Haller Dalvin. And it's not
on the question that Michael Carter becomes RB two for the Jets post Bibeek something
to keep an eye on. I simply am hoping for a trade because I
think his talent is being wasted on the bench in New York with the Jets
when we saw what he did as rookie and software, not to mention his
prospect profile in North Carolina that made him a very interesting prospect high he discussed
and a lot of buzz surrounding him when the running back class is being discussed
in twenty twenty one as part of the draft evaluation process. In terms of
what would take to acquire Carter, he has actually dropped in one of my
Dynasty leagues this past week. I scooped him just for the sake of an
end of bank stash. Shouldn't cost you more than a fourth or a fifth.
His market has taken a significant hit because he's not seeing the football or
volume to equate touches to production to try to buy low. We'll see what
happens. Time for a quick break before I get to that. Don't forget

Time for that quick break, and I'll be back with two more real life
NFL trade candidates what we should do with them from a dynasty point of view.
That next name is Marquise Brown, who turns twenty seven next June.
He's been a steady contributor from reception, yardage and target perspective with Joshua Dobbs
at quarterback Arizona. Thus far, as I mentioned with the Breakdownald zach Ertz
Kyler, Murray is on his way back to the field from a twenty ACL
on twenty twenty two. So even if Brown isn't traded necessarily, his face
football stock appears to be on the rise. Regardless he has doublegit targets in
four different games, five or more receptions than three appearances, fifty four yards
or more receiving in four different weeks. And even though Marquise has not achieved
a top tier why receiver one ceiling with Baltimore during his time with that organization
or Arizona, there's legitimate wide receiver two numbers or upside to expect out of
him his career highs. Collectively, these are separate numbers different seasons entry twenty
twenty three are ninety one catches, one thousand and eight yards receiving, eight
touchdowns, and one hundred and forty six targets. If you combine those into
a season long receiving line, then Marcus Brown could be a back end wide
receiver. One. Of course, that has not been the case, but
it does provide us a preview or glimpse into what a ceiling could be if
utilized. As such. What's worth knowing for the sake of this conversation and
what could dictate Brown's real life trade value is that it's likely a factor,
if not probable, that Arizona is weighing their options being aware that Brown is
a UFA in twenty twenty four. So the contract status of being a free
agent could determine that the Cardinals either believe Marquise will return to the franchise,
either on the franchise tag or on a hometown deal. That or Brown contested
of market leave what's now a rebuilding franchised for more of contender based on him
being still in the private career, but twenty seven next June, if it's
out of his hands and he's traded prior to the October thirty first deadline,
then we could really see him skyrocket and value depending on where he lands.
But Marquise Brown is now a sound BILO target after a down Week seven in
comparison expectations based on how he started the campaign and with Kyler Murray coming back,
the sky is truly the limit for Marquise as a focal point of the
Arizona Cardinals passing attack. What would I trade for Marquis Brown assuming a one
quarterback league not super flex, He's still top fifty seventy five in terms of
overall player value. That's going to equate to a mid to late first,
if not early mid second at the latest. So you know your lead members
better than anyone and your format. Somewhere in that realm of value is where
Marcus Brown should be approachable to discuss in trade negotiations if you need help at
another wide receiver spot or even a flex. I think Marquis Brown fits the
bill really well at this stage of the season. And then last, but
not least, is Rashad Penny, who was twenty eight in February. He's
aging even more so than it may seem based on his lack of usage this
year. When Penny was brought in as a free agent to Philadelphia, it
seemed on paper like a terrific landing spot. With the departure of Miles Sanders
of Carolina Kenneth Gamewell, we knew he was already in the mix, and
then an eventual trade for DeAndre Swift then clouded the Egles running back room even
further. There was really no clarity or pecking order, and three twenty twenty
three that beat reporters, let alone coaches, are going to reveal. We
now know that Deanre Swift is the alpha in the Eagles running back room game
well is a change of pace weapon. You'll see a sprinkle of Boston Scott
here there. Rashad Penny is the odd man out. To this point,
it's rather evident that Penny is expendable to Philadelphia. He's been a healthy scratch
for most of the season outside of Week two, which Minnesota three rushes,
nine yards, one character five yards. In fact, those are the lone
stats that were Shot has accumulated this season. At this point, he is
purely depth for the Eagles that might not be needed if another NFL team comes
knocking who's seeking an RBBC member. That is what Penny is at the stage
of his professional career. He's going to be an RBBC member. He cannot
handle a workload. To become this workhorse tailback, it's not in the cards
for him, and it's because of a lack of durability that even severely limited
him during his time with Seattle. The talent is out of this world.
It's a matter of staying healthy at five seasons with the Seahawks. That being
said, when active and the field, he's proven to be an effective and
explosive weapon, with six point three and six point one year picure averages over
the past two campaigns alone. That's what created the intrigue for Penny signing with
Philadelphia as a free agent. Unfortunately, has not met what was expected out
of him, which is a direct result of Swift being a superior running back.
Right now, I'm going to offer up a fourth for the chance a
few your dividends regarding Penny, even a late third is worth the risk upside
at cost. This is a gamble, though there's no guarantee that Philadelphia places
Penny in the trade block and or pivots off of him for draft capital.
When they are a clear attender in the NFC and could really utilize him if
there were an injury to take place to swift and or kind of gain.
Well, if a shot is not trade out of Philadelphia, then I don't
see a path to standalone value or that sort of outlook. In other words,
if you have a shot Penny rostered, I would keep him. See
if he gets traded. If not, you've a premium handcuff behind Philadelphia's elite
offensive line went fully healthy. Otherwise you're probably in a spot where you've considered
dropping him for a wavewire commodity, already done so, and at that point
you're dropping what could be a lottery ticket on security's wavewire to help another league
member if they scoop him up. It's a tough situation to be in when
you have these fringe either rosterable or droppable players, and Penny is certainly in
that mold. But the fact that he could be traded at the NFL deadline
to a team that needs more help running back, and at this point we
have no reason to believe that Penny is hurt because he's just it's been a
healthy scratch. Hence why I think He's someone to perhaps buy extremely low on
while next to no one is bringing up his name or discussing his worth.
Perhaps in a different NFL team that will do it. If you all enjoyed
