Miami Dolphins running back, Devona Chan, any fantasy manager who has him right now doesn't want to hear this at all, but it's just, it's the lowest value you're ever going to see.

Uh or the stock, if you want to say of Devona Chan right now, he had a concussion.

He came out of the game last week, he doesn't return.

He's probably if there was a game this upcoming week would miss that game, but he's on by.

So that helps him right now.

He's seen his fantasy production drop in four straight games, hasn't had over 10 fantasy points since two has been out of the starting lineup the last three weeks.

So everything is looking bad and then you even look at week five in that game where he in Mozart almost has 100 total yards.

Jalen Wright looks good on the ground in that one.

So it's like adding insult to injury that the VDA Chan couldn't be out there for what looks like the Dolphins offense at least got some things looking a little bit better without Tua.

But I think it's just a by low opportunity because this guy at least in my opinion, if indeed to a returns in week eight, which is just one more game that they would have to miss because of the by being in there, he's trending to return.

It seems like right now, Tua, and if that's the case, you've had two performances with a chain and Tua this year, he was a top five running back finish in both of those.

We know the upside that he has.

I still think he's a top 25 rest of season player.

And my guess is most people who are managers of him right now, don't view him anywhere near that.

So if you can trade away and these sound like some big names.

I know, but like a DJ Moore for him, I would do that right now.

Assuming you're in a situation where you're three and two, even two and three, if you're one and four, obviously, oh and five, maybe you should go for somewhere else.

But at this point, I would trade DJ Moore for Devona cha, this is a very spicy one.

I think most people would not want to buy this guy right now.

But that's kind of the whole point here, uh of we, we, we're playing leaning into that, we're leaning into the psychology of it.

I think actually taking him out of that league back role and like ha having Raheem Mostert back in the mix is pretty, is a pretty big deal for a N because we just get these like grinder carries off his plate and he could be used in more interesting ways.

Um, look, he only had six routes in this game before having the concussion, but he was targeted once on those routes.

Uh, so like he's a guy that might get more of just the passing game work if we can get Raheem Mostert, kind of taking some of those grinder carries.
