Bears Break Eagles, Power Ranking Fantasy Buy-Low (and Sell-Low) Targets, and the End of '80s Month
The hosts break down the Bears' 27-7 blowout of the Eagles behind Case Keenum and Ben Johnson's creative play-calling, noting the Eagles' offense looked broken down and unbalanced once trailing. The bulk of the show is a Power Hour session ranking buy-low and sell-low fantasy targets heading into Week 4, covering RBs, WRs, TEs and QBs across several offenses.
This episode blends a Monday Night Football recap with the show's recurring "Power Hour" segment, this time devoted to ranking buy-low and sell-low fantasy assets three weeks into the season. The hosts use the Bears' 27-7 upset of the Eagles behind Case Keenum as a launching point, then spend the bulk of the show building out a long list of players they'd acquire or dump given the panic and hype already baked into early-season trade markets.
The arguments
Ben Johnson's scheme, not Case Keenum's talent, explains the Bears' blowout win. Heifetz, DK, and Craig agreed Keenum's on-time, rhythm-based passing let Johnson unlock designed touchbacks, pulling guards, and receivers rushing through the line — creativity DK compared to a DJ mashup. They were unanimous this isn't a sign Keenum should threaten Caleb Williams' job, just that a disciplined game-manager fits Johnson's scheme differently than Williams' improvisational style.
Saquon Barkley is the best true buy-low at running back available. Craig argued Barkley's counting stats (no double-digit games, three catches all year) mask that he's playing well physically and the Eagles' schedule softens up; Heifetz agreed, framing it as buying volume, not vibes, given Philly's offensive collapse whenever they trail by double digits.
Colston Loveland remains a hold/acquire target despite fantasy managers giving up on him. Heifetz doubled down from the prior week, noting Loveland is running a heavy route share and is functionally the Bears' most-featured pass catcher already; Craig was more skeptical of the workload translating to per-game production but agreed he's cheaply acquirable.
DK Metcalf and Malik Nabors sit on opposite sides of the same "check the panic" test. Craig argued Metcalf is a bad long-term fit with Aaron Rodgers and should be sold now despite gaudy air-yards; DK countered that Nabors' brutal three weeks (knee, shoulder, a nor'easter game, and Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury) make him a classic buy-low, especially if Jameis Winston reclaims starting duties and repeats his career-long pattern of feeding one receiver heavily.
Several backfields are misread by public opinion, creating buy windows. DK flagged Omarion Hampton as a sell-low given the Chargers' crowded backfield and non-existent target share; Craig and Heifetz agreed Jaydon Blue-style names like Jadarian Price (Seahawks) and Ashton Jeanty (Raiders) are underrated buys tied to draft capital and touch volume, though both flagged fumbling and ankle-health risk as real red flags, not just noise.
Ladd McConkie and Tucker Kraft are talent-over-results buy-lows. DK argued McConkie is the Chargers' clear No. 1 receiver being undervalued purely because of a lingering rib injury, not performance; Craig made the same case for Kraft, whose yards-after-catch have craterd but whose route total and target trajectory look like last year's breakout version.
What it means for your roster
- Buy Saquon Barkley now if his current owner is frustrated by the box-score numbers — the hosts view him as the best available buy-low running back given volume, offensive line push, and a soft upcoming Eagles schedule.
- Keep pursuing Colston Loveland in trade talks; both hosts think he's being undervalued by 0-3 record bias and will approach Sam LaPorta-level production once Chicago's passing offense stabilizes.
- Sell DK Metcalf while his air-yards and target volume still look shiny on paper — the hosts see a fundamental scheme mismatch with Rodgers that isn't fixing itself.
- Check in on Malik Nabors owners who are panicking over the QB carousel (Dart injury, Winston, incoming McCarthy) — DK argues Winston's receiver-friendly history makes this a buy window, not a reason to bail.
- Target Ladd McConkie and Tucker Kraft as talent-first buy-lows; both are being discounted for reasons (rib injury, poor QB play) the hosts think are temporary rather than reflective of role or ability.
- Sell Omarion Hampton if you can get anything resembling starter value — a crowded three-man Chargers backfield with a 3% target rate caps his ceiling regardless of draft pedigree.
“It's kind of a fantasy blue ball Hall of Fame game for anyone who had meaningful players.” — Danny Heifetz
Players in this episode
↑ Ranked as the top buy-low target despite low weekly point totals; hosts say he still looks explosive and the Eagles' schedule/volume should improve as the offense stabilizes.
↑ Called a buy-low; hosts cite an easier upcoming schedule and note he was a top fantasy QB last year, arguing panic over recent play is overblown.
↓ Named a sell-low; minimal passing-game usage (3% target rate) and a three-man committee with Vidal/Mitchell make him a risky, touchdown-dependent asset.
→ Debated as a buy-low given heavy goal-line usage and receiving work despite no rushing TDs yet, but an ankle injury and scheme/vision fit in Kubiak's run system raise concern.
↑ Considered undervalued (RB19) and likely to improve/score more going forward despite modest yardage totals so far.
↑ Considered a buy-low since panic is high after knee/shoulder issues and Jackson Dart's season-ending injury; hosts think Jameis Winston could target him heavily going forward.
↑ Named a strong buy-low; hosts believe he's clearly the Chargers' true No. 1 receiver over Quentin Johnston and expect production once fully healthy from a rib injury.
↑ Hosts double down on him as a buy-low, citing heavy route participation and belief he'll be a top-tier fantasy TE (compared to Sam LaPorta) once given more chances, despite frustrated owners after a dropped TD.
↑ Expected to start scoring in bunches soon and viewed as a buy before his price rises again.
↑ Grouped with Maye and Stevenson as Patriots buy-lows benefiting from an easier upcoming schedule and negativity around the team.
↓ Labeled a sell-low; inconsistent target share and boom-bust production make hosts skeptical he becomes a true No. 1 in Denver's rotation-heavy offense.
→ Debated as a buy-low based on draft capital and lack of competition, but concerns about fumbling issues (a recurring problem since college) and eventual competition from a returning Zach Charbonnet temper enthusiasm.
↑ Also listed as a Patriots buy-low tied to schedule improvement and low market value.
↑ Called a legit buy-low; his role and route participation are trending up post-ACL recovery even though the offense and per-catch yardage have been down.
↑ Framed as an easy, unsexy buy/add since he plays ~90% of snaps and remains Bo Nix's go-to target on third downs and in the red zone despite unspectacular box scores.
↓ Called a sell-low; strong air yards/target volume haven't translated to production due to drops, penalties, and a poor scheme fit with Aaron Rodgers.
↓ Called not very good, with poor catch rate, reinforcing McConkey as the clear No. 1 in the offense.
→ Hosts are skeptical he improves much given doubts about the Titans' offense and Cam Ward, though they expect him to eventually get better and become cheaply acquirable.
→ Praised for playing on-time, rhythm-based football and executing Ben Johnson's scheme well in the blowout win over Philly, though hosts don't view him as a long-term answer over Caleb Williams.
↑ Picked as the best bet among a group of struggling young receivers (over Brian Thomas Jr., Marvin Harrison Jr., Calvin Ridley/Carnell Tate) to break out due to playing time and offensive/QB quality, despite a costly end-zone drop.
