Hey everyone! This is Matt Barbato and I'm excited to answer your fantasy football questions today as we continue through free agency!

What does Jamaal Williams’ signing do for D’Andre Swift?
Matt Barbato
1:01
I don't think it hurts Swift's value too much. Williams is a nice backup, but I'd expect his role to be similar to what we saw in GB. Swift's still an exciting RB target in 2021.

Is the Malcolm Brown signing to Miami a sign they’re comfortable with Myles Gaskin as the guy?
Matt Barbato
1:01
I think it signals that the Dolphins want depth, and Brown's a nice depth tailback. I expect Miami to target Najee Harris or Travis Etienne in the draft.

Where do you see Pitts being drafted and where would that rank him with the TEs? THANKS
Matt Barbato
1:02
There have been rumors that Philadelphia is interested in Pitts, but I think the Giants make the most sense, as they desperately need a tight end to replace Evan Engram. Pitts is a fantastic prospect, but the transition from college to the pros is always tough for tight ends. His upside would make him worth a flyer late in drafts.

What are your floors and ceilings for Miles Sanders & CEH? Both guys disappointed in 2020, but seem to have nice situations. Can we trust them?
Matt Barbato
1:04
Both have RB1 ceilings, but low-end RB2 floors. They won't be targets of mine in redraft.

If Winston is the QB for NOLA, is Thomas a top 5 WR candidate?
Matt Barbato
1:05
I think the market is really down on Michael Thomas. He went from WR1 in everyone's rankings to maybe top 5? While Jameis is wild, we've seen what he can do for receivers. If Thomas stays healthy, I see a big rebound
Guest
1:06
How much does the second round tender lower your expectations for JK Dobbins? What is that split likely going to look like?
Matt Barbato
1:06
I still really like Dobbins and expected Edwards to stick around. Edwards is fine and I think his primary threat to Dobbins will be near the goal line.
Guest

Can Allen Robinson overcome yet another mediocre to bad QB and still stay in the top 15 for WR’s?
Matt Barbato
1:06
He's done it his whole career and I think he'll do it again this year.

Hello! Question about dynasty league trade value (in a 12-team, 1QB, 1/2 PPR dynasty league). League seems to perpetually undervalue TEs compared to other WR, RB, and even QB. How would you go about trading? If you're trying to move a TE, would you just trade at a lower value than expected, or hold the player for the foreseeable future (forever or until someone ponies up)?
Matt Barbato
1:07
Depends on the player. But if a market's not materializing, sometimes you just have to take what you can get if you're dead set on moving someone.

What’s 2021 Outlook on these 2nd year backs- Deejay Dallas, Lamical Perine, Darrynton Evans?  Dynasty stashes?
Matt Barbato
1:08
Dallas intrigues me the most as of now because Seattle's RB situation is unsettled. Perine might be phased out with new coaching staff, he's nothing special. Evans is still dependent on a Derrick Henry injury to have any value

1st pick in rookie draft, 1QB/dynasty. Not ready to compete this year. take Chase
Matt Barbato
1:09
I'd lean one of the top running backs just because it's a more scarce position. But Chase offers a ton of upside too. If you did it, I wouldn't mind it.

How high would you be willing to draft Curtis Samuel in ppr leagues now that he is playing on the WFT and Fitzmagic likely slinging him the ball?
Matt Barbato
1:10
I've never loved Samuel. I think he's just another one of the hundreds of WR3 there seem to be in the NFL. I like Fitz for Terry McLaurin more.
Dak
1:10
Who are your favorite late round TE fliers in ppr leagues?
Matt Barbato
1:10
Dallas Goedert and Logan Thomas. I'd also take a flyer on Kyle Pitts.

Hello Matt, thanks for hosting a chat.  Just looking for your opinion on my dynasty keeper options for next year.  2QB league, .5ppr, and can choose five to keep.  Thanks in advance :-)

Keeper Options: Murray, CEH, Swift, Akers, Ekeler, M. Thomas, J. Jefferson, Woods
Matt Barbato

Murray, Swift, Akers, Thomas, Jefferson
cool 1

Thoughts on Higbee as the Rams main TE?
Matt Barbato
1:11
I think he's once again a low-end TE1. He's startable, but unexciting.
YoungVp17

Who should I keep for dynasty AAron Jones or Cam Akers
Matt Barbato
1:11
Really tough one. I lean Jones because he stayed in GB and has proven it. Akers we think will be good, but that LAR offensive line still isn't great.
Guest
1:12
Do I keep will fuller no matter where he ends up
Matt Barbato
1:12
I wouldn't if you have other options. Fuller is always someone I've been down on because of his boom or bust nature and injury history.
Guest

Buy or sell Tua.
Matt Barbato
1:13
I'm buying. In fact, I traded for him in a dynasty league earlier this offseason. What Justin Herbert did is unprecedented for rookies. We seem to forget that. Tua has the smarts and the accuracy that can't be taught. I didn't love Miami's decision to go with co-OCs, but add a Chase or DeVonta Smith along with better protection and the pieces are there for a good sophomore season.
Guest

How is Jacobs going to do with almost no o-line?
Matt Barbato
1:14
I have no idea what the Raiders are doing. As someone who has Jacobs in dynasty, I'm starting to worry. He's still a RB1, but on the lower end.
Guest
1:14
With the signing of Hyde? Where does Robinson fall in draft rankings?
Matt Barbato
1:14
I don't think it changes much. Hyde is a pure backup. If Jacksonville doesn't take an RB in the draft, then I think we can be confident in Robinson next season with a far better situation around him.

How do you think Curtis Samuel does in Washington
