00:00Let's talk about selling some players that have had everyone in a tizzy, but Joe thinks

00:08it's time to cool down.

00:10Let's go to New Orleans here.

00:11Now, I believe that their strength of schedule, it's in their favor.

00:14So I believe that some of the players will remain viable, but right now, some of them

00:17are just as hot as they're going to be.

00:20Let's talk, Joe, who would you sell from New Orleans?

00:23Yeah, I think with Shahid, it's one of those things where, you know, can he keep making

00:27the big splash play every single week, you know, two weeks, two big touchdowns.

00:33Maybe this has just become the identity of the New Orleans Saints.

00:35Awesome.

00:36That's fun.

00:37But that's not necessarily been who the Saints were.

00:39And once again, we have to take advantage of the matchups.

00:42Now, the secondary matchup that first week against Carolina was very favorable, right?

00:46That Carolina is a hot mess.

00:49Last week, a little bit more impressive against the Dallas Cowboys, but is it something we

00:52can rely on every week?

00:54Can you sell him for above market value?

00:55And I think that is where it becomes intriguing.

00:57Would I rather have Jalen Waddle rest of season or Rashid Shahid?

01:01I think I'd rather have Jalen Waddle.

01:03And I think that's a deal you could pull off right now.

01:05And people might be surprised at that, but that's what happens so often where people

01:09just I saw somebody turn Alan Lazard into Devante Adams two weeks ago.

01:14And that was, again, something that should never, ever, ever happen in fantasy.

01:19I saw it.

01:20I made the person send me a screenshot of it because it was so absurd.

01:23Now, you shouldn't be vetoing trades, but you also should be making those kind of trades

01:27either.

01:28And the last guy on that list, too, Zach Moss, is another one, too, that I think you consider

01:33selling.

01:34You know, still have some cache in that backfield for the Bengals, but I do believe the Bengals

01:39are going to be a very heavy pass offense.

01:41And with all the running back injuries that we've already had, maybe Zach Moss is a guy

01:45you might be able to get something back for that could be pretty useful.

01:49So keep that in mind as you're looking to go ahead and sell off some players.

01:53What you're looking for is slow starts, underperformance, talent.

01:58That's what you want to buy.

01:59And what you have to have those hard conversations when you look at your roster, you have to

02:02say to yourself, what do I see here that doesn't make sense?

02:05What has been far better than I could have imagined?

02:08And is it for real or is it just a fantasy?

02:10And at the end of the day, I think too often we get so excited about the prospect of being

02:15the smartest person in the room and being right as opposed to making the good decisions

02:19to be right for the future.
