TRADE GRADE: Josh Jacobs for Justin Jefferson

As a fan of alliteration, I think this could be the greatest trade ever! But how does it stack up Fantasy Football-wise?

ANDY: C+
Andy is after that Action Award (more alliteration!) as he’s made his second deal in two days. The Gentleman recommended a 1 for 2 deal for Justin Jefferson (and sadly waited a week too long to offer up James Conner in a reboot of our previous Davante Adams deal) but The Solitary Matriarch of Shadiness decided to go for two separate 1-1 deals. I’m not sure if that’s the best approach since his team still has issues. He’s definitely upgraded his RB position but now he has a pretty ugly group of WRs to rely on. Once again, there’s a significant stench of desperation to this one and it feels more like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic than making a major improvement. Although that’s probably underselling the Titanic. Maybe more like rearranging deck chairs OceanGate Titan Submersible. (Why would you name a risky submarine anything close to the most notorious boating shipwreck ever?)

PLAYER #14: A
Even a broken clock is right twice a day and our homophobic homie has pulled off a whale of a trade. First and foremost, congratulations to the Cancelled Counterfeit Casamigos as he has overcome his phobia of trades. This team has a real chance at making a run this season and those odds have definitely improved after this deal. If the podcast doesn’t have this team as a Blue Chip stock after this, then I would expect a nasty rant on Truth Social and threats from the FCC chair.
Josh Jacobs was a deal at $37 dollars and has now turned into $58 Justin Jefferson. I’m a little nervous about the QB situation in Minnesota and Jefferson didn’t have to deal with Jordan Addison stealing targets these first three weeks but that’s an impossible deal to turn down, especially when The Veep has depth at running back.
Has Player #14 overtaken Brendan as the main villain of the league? I could definitely see the comparison of Brendan being Thanos and Jeff being Kang, the villain that nobody liked and who got cancelled. But this is just jealousy talking; kudos to Veep The Creep for putting himself in a position. to challenge for the title this season.
