Final Word Week 15 | NFL Supercoach Trades, Captains, PODs


<p>The bye weeks are over, and it’s time to buy!</p>



<p>We’ve been building to this moment all season, and hopefully you’re looking at your team post-byes and feeling pretty good about it. </p>



<p>This game is all about timing your run. </p>



<p>I started the season slowly, but I’ve been building, and I’m now on the verge of the top 1,000.</p>



<p>I’m confident I’ve got my starting running backs sorted, and my addition of AJ Brown last week has me feeling pretty good about my wide receivers. </p>

<p>The one position I’m umming and ahhing about is tight end. </p>



<p>Like many coaches, I own Tyler Warren, and this is not good news following the injury to Daniel Jones. </p>



<p>The Colts’ QB situation is so bad that they’ve just signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers. </p>



<p>He hasn’t played since COVID, and he’s a grandpa. Talk about desperate. </p>



<p>This does not bode well for Indi’s offense, and they’ll be featuring prominently in my trade plans…</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Week 15 Trade Plans</strong></h3>



<p>While Rivers won’t start, the fact that they’ve had to sign him shows just how bad things are at the Colts. </p>



<p>Jones is gone for the season, Richardson isn’t returning any time soon, and their season is suddenly on a knife’s edge.&nbsp;</p>



<p>All of this means 3<sup>rd</sup>-string QB Riley Leonard will start this week, and this is not good news for coaches.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you have the trades, I’d be trading any Colts player not named Jonathon Taylor. </p>



<a id='JZfAhr4UQ8VLvthNIK1S9g' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2251005052' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'JZfAhr4UQ8VLvthNIK1S9g',sig:'NmrRHzkZM-Uylk_mdso3Y8bL5n0jzb6ppEVTK5c7c1c=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2251005052',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>This means Warren should be on the trade block, as well as Michael Pittman Jr.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, I own both, but I can cope with Pittman Jr. sitting on my bench for another week. </p>



<p>Warren, however, needs to go. </p>



<p>He has only scored 20 points or more once in his past six games, and his production isn’t going to get any better with the change at QB. </p>



<a id='bvx8lRzURplqfCtQtwzMQA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2251195915' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'bvx8lRzURplqfCtQtwzMQA',sig:'dQtcE0KQXrBeppQN-jTyq42O-OF4xo4awu5_-dwCKQ0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2251195915',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>The player I’m looking at bringing in for Warren is Harold Fannin Jr. from the Browns.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Fannin Jr. has been a huge beneficiary of Shedeur Sanders’ inclusion at QB, having 197 yards, two touchdowns, and 15 catches in his past three games. </p>



<p>His three-game average is comparable to Supercoach gun Trey McBride, and at $9,450,000, he is very affordable. </p>



<p>All of this makes him a good swap for Warren. </p>



<p>If you were looking to trade Pittman Jr. and you can find a few million, you could do worse than Christian Watson.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He’s hit some form at the Packers, and I’ll tell you more about him later on in the column…</p>



<a id='HdRwr2KwRUxxzm9JEA1s9g' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2251470120' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'HdRwr2KwRUxxzm9JEA1s9g',sig:'FIi0LsgBh1ymLDfJzjNgH4m5RKL3bCdzF6EDeeawTJs=',w:'594px',h:'410px',items:'2251470120',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Week 15 Captaincy Plans</strong></h3>



<p>Josh Allen showed why he is the best player in Supercoach last week.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His 75 was the top score for the week, rewarding coaches who left the C on him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I originally had the C on Allen, but Jahmyr Gibbs’ 66 was too good to ignore. </p>



<p>Gibbs, of course, played the early game on Friday, meaning coaches who had the VC on him could loop him in as captain. </p>



<p>I did just that, but I did have some slight regret while watching Allen put on an absolute clinic.&nbsp;</p>



<p>So, what to do this week? </p>



<p>Allen has been up and down, but coaches who have left the C on him have been rewarded throughout most of the season. </p>



<p>I think that’s what I’ll be doing this week. </p>



<p>He faces a tough Pats defence in a hugely important game, and I expect him to put the Bills on his back and drag them over the line. </p>



<p>That hurts to write as a Patriots fan, but I have nothing but respect for Allen and the way he plays the game.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The best thing about Allen as a captaincy option is that even when he’s having an off night with his arm, you just know he can make a big play with his legs at any moment. </p>



<a id='jw-h2ycBRZ5wlyQNhfrw-A' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2249756277' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'jw-h2ycBRZ5wlyQNhfrw-A',sig:'gQy_K1uI0m89Poc_Td4HLcYLHhwgv7setFFDQgch-gY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2249756277',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>If you’re still not sold on Allen this week, the other player I’d strongly consider putting the C on is Christian McCaffrey.&nbsp;</p>



<p>CMC faces a horrible Titans team, and he could go very, very big. </p>



<p>My only concern is that he’s been dealing with illness this week, so make sure you keep an eye on that. </p>



<a id='Csq3hR1KSn9VoGgTlOtgng' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2251020868' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Csq3hR1KSn9VoGgTlOtgng',sig:'G7gWfCmw5ml5SlERHmCH93Fw1Z8xmcX9Z2VjYG-nTFY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2251020868',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>POD of the Week</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Christian Watson (WR) $13,070,000</strong></p>



<p>Packers fans already know this, but if you aren’t aware, Watson is putting together quite a season.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Watson has quickly become a favourite target for Jordan Love, and he’s completely changed the dynamic of Green Bay’s offense since returning from injury in Week 8. </p>



<p>He’s a genuine deep threat, and he’s making big plays when it matters. </p>



<p>Over the past three weeks, Watson has averaged over 30 points per game, and he’s certainly underpriced when you consider that output. </p>



<p>He could be a bargain buy for the run home and a great point of difference. </p>



<p>He’s owned by only 1.3% of coaches, and I think that talks to how underrated this guy is. </p>



<p>If you’re looking to get rid of a Pittman Jr. or a Jaylen Waddle, then Watson is a great option.</p>
