Usage over hype. Targets, routes, snaps and what coaches actually said. Start/sit, stashes and waivers every week. Ask me your lineup questions.

[Nick @NickCastillo]

Wednesday bold takes for Week 8 and the rest of the season (PPR, 1QB). Five calls, all backed by usage, and I'd bet at least one of them makes you mad. Tell me which one you're pushing back on. 🧵 (1/7)

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@100xxxgamb Hard pass. You're trading 20.7 touches/game for two guys who can't stay on the field. AJ's played 3 games (3.4 ppg, 0 TDs) and can’t catch a cold. Breece has missed 4 straight and Allen's been RB13 without him.

[Nick @NickCastillo]

Week 8 ROS trade targets 🧵

5 guys I'm trying to pry loose right now. Big usage, schedules that open up, and a couple who've been flat unlucky

Buying the work, not last week's box score (1/7)

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@PHL_Takes No problem! Good luck this season

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@MiamiHEAT

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@PHL_Takes NAH keep Bucky. he's basically their whole offense right now. Jeanty's fine but you're not winning that one

[Nick @NickCastillo]

That's my 5. London, Wilson, Metcalf, Bucky, Jeanty

Got a trade you're stuck on? Drop both sides below and I'll give you a straight yes or no 👇 (7/7)

[Nick @NickCastillo]

Ashton Jeanty (RB, LV)

44 targets, most of any RB. Went 8 for 8 Sunday with a TD

The 3.1 YPC is on the O-line. A back catching almost 5 a game doesn't stay RB13

ESPN: 99.7%
Give: an RB2 who needs a TD to hit + a sweetener
Buy. (6/7)

@FFrealitycheck OR the floor isn't showing up because the role is real. Cooper's running routes like a WR1 and getting schemed touches. Bernards role increased when Pittman went down and increased even more when Roman Wilson also went down. Cooper is doing it with a healthy receiving corps.

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@adamlevitan EVERYBODY in the building knows it's going to him and he still has 100+ yards in 6 of 7 games. Shading him just isn't working, he's a top 3 WR the rest of the way and he aint #3

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@Zeeslaw @AdamSchefter Lmao. You're right. Maybe more like a solid flex option.
The talent is there though, he went 7-72 on 9 targets vs KC in Week 2.

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@Underdog Called this one this morning. 49% of snaps his first game back, 4.9 a carry. he's the guy in Denver

[Nick @NickCastillo]

@rotoworld_fb @AlfredoABrown Jeanty's got 24 catches in his last 5 games and y'all are mad about his YPC behind that line? I'll take that guy in PPR all day

[Nick @NickCastillo]

That's my five. Which one ages the worst? And what's your boldest take for the rest of the season? Drop it below, I want to see who's willing to put one out there. (7/7)

Call #5: Jordan Love finishes outside the top 12 QBs from here.

QB14 in PPR points per game (18.2), 10 rushing yards all season, and only 2 of 7 games above 20 points. The volume is real (271 attempts, 5th), but with no rushing he has no cushion. 90% rostered on ESPN. (6/7)
