In a season where managers are panicking over a running back who just shared carries 12-to-11 with an unheralded backup, hosts Ryan Warmly and Tara Roberts make the case that the panic is exactly the opportunity. The FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast episode 2276, "The Trade Targets You Should Be Chasing Before Week 7," walks through specific buy and sell candidates with an eye toward the psychological states of other managers—and the schedule data that should override emotional reactions.

Buy the panic on Bacial Tutin, not the timeshare

The headline buy is Washington running back Bacial Tutin, who just posted a strong fantasy day (12 carries, 4 receptions, 48 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns) but did it while splitting carries nearly evenly with Chris Rodriguez. That split—11 carries for Rodriguez, 12 for Tutin—has created visible anxiety on social media and in fantasy chat rooms. But Roberts argues that the panic is misplaced. "He can't be the three-down back in this offense," she says of Rodriguez, pointing out that Rodriguez has exactly one reception all season.
