Wide receiver ranks for Week fifteen, your 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:12.000 Fantasy football playoffs, as long as you are sane ending 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.320 in week seventeen, don't do the week eighteen thing, please, 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.120 I'm let's say, I guess if you're doing the double matches. 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.640 But we're going to be talking about wide receiver ranks 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.080 courtesy of Fantasy Pros, and where we're ranking these guys 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.960 for a very very important playoff run, big decisions to make, 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.560 big Thursday night football game. All of it's there, and 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.440 of course we've got the great Pat Fitzmore, Scott Pianowski, 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.960 I'm Chris Welsh. We are ready to jump into these 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.199 wide receiver ranks, though I will ask you as a 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.960 setup too later in the show. Fits will Debo be 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.440 ranked above Juwan Jennings again this week? 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:42.159 He will not. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.720 That was a grievous error on my part last week. 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.440 I greatly regret it. I apologize profusely to anyone. 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.360 It's advice on Deebo, Samuel though. 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.000 They are setting everybody up for party. I gotta get 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.720 them the ball more. George Kittle, Deebo's going to have 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.279 that big game it's coming. They're trying to. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:00.920 Set us up weeky wheel game. 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.800 Fool me once you know that the rest of the trill 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.800 and I think Scott, you're with me on this one. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:05.920 Now. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.000 We already had a DEVO conversation in the RB ranks here, 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.840 wide receivers, If you gentlemen are ready to get into this, 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.080 let's roll the big board. We get to see Jamar 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.640 Chase at number one. Buoy? Has Jamar Chase been just 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.840 a fantastic call on the year and get get I 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.039 got icy the last couple of years about Jamar Chase 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.680 and just being like he's definitively just number one. Is 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.600 just such a good call by all you guys that 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.480 were in on Jamar Chase. Especially shout out to the 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.399 guys like Ericson who went number one overall last year 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.360 and then came back to it this year. I don't 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.360 know if that's what you're about to say. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.080 Fits Yep, Erickson had him number one. He was Erickson's 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.600 one on one all along, like as far back as 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.840 like last February. I mean, very impressive call. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.760 Missing it last year and then coming back and just 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.280 you know, standing on business like he did so shout 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.720 out to Ericson for that and the crew. As Jamar 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.680 Chase goes nuts back to the ranks of the Jamar 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.400 Chase at number one for this week, Nico Collins, Pukuakua, 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.160 Justin Jefferson, a Monro, Saint Brown that your top five, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.400 Tyreek Kill, AJ Brown, Ceedelamb, Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, Courtland Sutton, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.400 and Cooper Cup two rams going up against the nine 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.839 ers in the top twelve. These are all starts, These 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.919 are all fantastic plays. But let's talk about one thing. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.320 A wide receiver that you guys have higher than consensus 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.520 on the ECR is Terry McLaurin. Terry McLaurin comes in 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.639 at wide receiver ten this week, going up against New Orleans, 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.520 which I will note is the worst matchup rating of 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.600 the top twelve according to Fantasy Pros. We have the 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.560 five star rating system just as an easy visual for 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.160 you guys. The worst visual rating, well, I guess Jamar 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.400 Chase also has a two star, but Jamar Chase by 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.480 Terry McLaurin with a two star matchup rating, but both 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.920 of you guys are higher. Scott is at eight, but 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.120 Fitzy you're at six, so let's kick it and start 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.760 with you. You've got Terry McLaurin at wide receiver six this week, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.600 you are starting him over. I'm guessing I'm not looking 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.560 at your rank, but the CD Lambs, the Mike Evans, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.400 the AJ Browns of the world. So talk to us 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:00.359 about Terry mc lauren. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.679 Yeah, I disagree with the matchup rating. I think the 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.200 Saints are good matchup. They don't have a cornerback who 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.760 concerns me at all. I mean, like, it's just not 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.320 a good group of cornerbacks in New Orleans. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.800 So don't fear the matchup. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.280 And it is amazing how productive Terry McLaurin has been 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.240 this season, considering that he has had double digit targets 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.280 exactly once this season. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.880 And here's how he's done it. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.800 He's averaging a career best ten point nine yards per 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.839 target and has already scored a career high nine touchdowns. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.080 And you know, McLaurin was on a heater before the 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.560 Commanders had their Week fourteen by He had five catches 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.480 one hundred and two yards and a touchdown against the 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.040 Cowboys in Week twelve, then eight catches seventy three yards, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.040 two touchdowns against the Titans in Week thirteen. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.960 Ride the hot hand and keep going with McLaurin. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.080 Scott, you are on the high rank of Terry McLaurin. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:53.280 Here. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.280 We did something on the Prediction Show. We were talking 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.440 about big play. I had a wide receiver who thought 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.760 was gonna have a big, like fifty yard plus touchdown 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.600 this here, and then Ryan Wormley brought up a handful 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.040 of players. It was like, you know, five players that 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.120 had four or more fifty plus yard plays this season, 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.080 and Terry McLaurin was one of those. Because he's also 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.400 just been a big deep play option as Jade McDaniels 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.920 has shown off, just some really good accuracy and getting 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.080 him the ball. Though we didn't see volume early on, 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.320 that seems to have turned where he's now getting a 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.279 lot more volume. So a very aggressive wide receiver eight 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.800 rank this week. Again we're poking here. It's not like 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.960 you know you're going to go and really sit the 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.480 Suttons or the aj Browns of the world and stuff 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.960 like that. But Terry McLaurin, if you got him, you 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.440 are very very high in a must dart range. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.520 Yeah, always been one of my favorite players. Just nice 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.280 to see him finally getting a plus quarterback to work with. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.080 I do wish the volume were a little bit better. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.280 He only has one game with double digit targets, where 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.640 I feel like he should be getting those games every 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.800 other week or something like that. But the consistency, right, 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.680 it was at four or five seven of the last 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.839 eight games he's been in the top twenty. He was 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.640 wide receiver seven and wide receiver two and half point 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.680 PPR scoring before that bye week. As far as the 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.520 points allowed stuff, I mean, New Orleans has allowed the 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.760 ninth most points to Fantasy wide receivers. Now, some people 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.480 might say, well, so what all I care about is outliers. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.680 Tell me who's really really horrible, Tell me who's really 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.000 really good. So if you want to just lump in 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.640 New Orleans to the anonymous middle, that's fine with me too. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.440 And remember they traded their best cornerback in the middle 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.520 of the season to Washington. There's nothing to fear in 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.160 this matchup, and when they do make downfield plays, it's 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.440 usually McLaurin. On the other end, he'll probably have to 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.640 cut his score on seven to nine targets because they 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.520 just don't pepper him off the bus. Not the way 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.120 they're constituted, but I give you stats right now, he's 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.839 going to have six catches eighty two yards in a 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.880 touchdown and that's going to taste pretty good. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:39.880 In Week fifteen, I'm going to take that bad boy. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.120 Let me ask you one off sheet question. If you 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.000 had to pick one wide receiver on here that is 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.200 going to fail to come close to their rank. And 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.920 I know it's tough because of these are the wide 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.880 receiver ones, But if you had a question about the production, 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.480 a question about the player being able to come back 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.240 with the general vicinity where they are ranked in these 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.159 wide receiver ones, who would you pick? And Scott will 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.080 start with you again. If you're looking Chase Collins, Pooka, Jefferson, 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.880 Saint Brown, Tyreek, AJ Brown, Lamb Evans, McLaurin, Sutton Cup 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.320 who gives that little tingle in the back where you're 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:15.239 a little bit nervous about. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.560 Man, I love I'm Underuss Saint Brown, but you can't 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.559 ignore that this is one of the run heaviest teams 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.000 in the league. He's been outside the top thirty and 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.080 three straight starts. Tim Patrick is now just a month 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.080 to feed. I mean, he's not in front of Saint 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.920 Brown in the pecking order, but he's just another guy 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:31.720 for them to target. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.039 We know they want to run the ball. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.200 We know that they're just not They were a carnival 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.440 Detroit was in previous seasons. Right now it's a team. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.760 They play bullyball. They control the game with the line 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.280 of scrimmage. They have two dominant running backs and Sat 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.600 getting more involved too, by the way. Just not fine 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.440 for sure, for sure. So Saint Brown, who is just 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.359 a target off the bus guy is now. You know, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.600 I talked about McLaurin having to do it with maybe 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.960 modest volume. That's kind of who Saint Brown is now. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.000 For a while, he was also getting a touchdown every week. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.200 He hasn't scored in the last three weeks. I know 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.520 touchdowns can be a little bit hit or miss, but 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.880 Saint Brown will probably have a good game. But you're 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.799 gonna have to do it with seven or eight targets. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.480 Where you look at some of these other guys, and 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.040 we know Nakua already has twelve targets. We know Nico 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.400 Collins how important he is to their offense in Houston. 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.280 What a fun thing they got cooking in Minnesota where 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.040 Justin Jefferson is a star, and I think people are 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.440 finally remembering that Jordan Adison won the bullet in the 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.920 coff too. He was also a first round pick the 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.800 Vikings Man. I wonder if they run it back next 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.560 year with Sam Darnold will have to sign him. I mean, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.640 I just want more of this. You know, I would 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.400 follow Kevin O'Connell into a burning building. I still have 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.680 Saint Brown in my top five, and even if I 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.440 move him down, it won't be outside the top ten. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.520 But I think we have to reevaluate what's plausible for 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.440 his volume projection. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.160 Yeah, and I'm not trying to set you guys up 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.800 to be like this guy will stink, but it's like, 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.600 who's the guy that makes you score him a little bit? 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.920 When you look at this top twelve fits the question 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.040 thrown to you. We got a Manrov for Scott who 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:54.480 say you. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.000 Yeah, Alman Rav was a really good call. I think 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.080 he's been a little bit over ranked lately. But I'm 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.560 going to say Cooper Copp just because Puka and Nkua 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.600 has become such a monster and we were expressing our 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.800 admiration for him before we turn on the mics and 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.640 It's just I can't wait to draft Pooka in the 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.680 back half of the first round in twenty twenty five 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.480 drafts because I know a lot of people are going 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.240 to be unfairly fading him, just because the time he 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.760 missed is going to diminish the overall season long stats 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.560 for him. But just like, remember how good this is 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.200 looking right now for Poka ni Kua, Like fantastic route runner, 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.880 great after the catch, amazing at the catch point, makes acrobatic. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.000 Catches like he does it all. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.680 And you know, like Cooper Cup is the sidekick right now. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.520 Cup sometimes almost plays like a tight end role too, 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.480 like and how he's not going deep, it's just you know, 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.679 twelve little yard outs and safety nets. Second read that 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.080 was it's funny that you did that, because that was 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:53.920 the guy that made me think of the question when 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.680 I was looking at this is like if someone was 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.240 going to see lamb might have been an obvious answer 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.480 to So glad to see you guys both and do that. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.920 Let's talk about wide receiver twos, but first let's talk 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.199 about skylight frames. Maybe gift giving isn't your love language. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.040 You overthink it and wind up with something disappointing or 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.040 nothing at all.

Slash Fantasy Wide Receiver Two's wide Receiver thirteen 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.320 through twenty four. We start off with mister T. Higgins. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.920 We've got Drake London, Devonte Adams, Jackson Smith and Jigba 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.560 Juwan Jennings at seventeen. Jerry Judy, Garrett Wilson, Calvin Ridley, 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.000 there's your top twenty. We've got Malik Neighbors, A Flowers, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.800 DK Metcalf and Lad Maconkey. That's your top twenty four. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.239 I did not put this. This was fits Fits controls 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:58.880 some of the narrative of what we talk about. So 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.800 I want everyone to know when I I say Juwan Jennings, 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.319 this was not my fault. ECR seventeen. I was very 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.040 defensive of him last week. Did not care about X 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.560 receiver with the Bears. Just said, watch, watch what Juwan 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:15.120 Jennings is gonna do. Bam FITZI you're lower than ECR, 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.120 but you're still in a good spot. But Scott you 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.440 are the high man. So let's actually first start with 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.720 Scott here. You've got him at sixteen. You're a little 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.160 bit higher than consensus. I'm a little bit higher than 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.280 both of you. So go and check out the ranks 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.560 if you want to see it, But talk to us 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.319 about Juwan Jennings Scott, because like Deebo, Samuel is cooked. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.760 Maybe he will have one of these games like he's 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.680 getting set up for the team. But it doesn't matter. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.240 That's not the point. Even if he does do it, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.040 it doesn't diminish your take away. The Juwan Jennings is 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.800 the first read and that was something I kept placing 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.120 three weeks prior to last week. Thirty five percent first 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.839 read percentage, forty percent of the air yard share, and 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.000 he was working out of the slot. They are working 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.119 to get him the ball because he is the playmaker 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:57.120 for this team. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:57.880 Right Yeah. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.440 I would argue that he showed Signatusi diff against in 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.800 that first breakout game against the Rams, that eleven one 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.120 seventy five to three detonation, and you can see how 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.320 much brock Perty trusts him. He'll throw the ball when 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.800 Jennings doesn't have a lot of separations. They've obviously run 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.640 a lot of reps together and they have a good 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.000 thing going, and they can want, i know, the squeaky 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.400 real narrative and Deebo's like, hey I'm here, I'm just 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.280 not getting the ball. So maybe they'll steer to that 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.200 a little bit. But the Niners need to win out. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.360 They can't mess around with who's who's getting what. They 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.320 need to lean into their best players, and right now 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.959 their best receiver is Jennings. I mean, if you give 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.000 him a pass for that snow game in Buffalo or 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.959 really none of the Niners showed up. I mean, he's 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.240 just smashing every week. He's off a wide receiver five 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.960 performance last week, and he's almost never outside the top twenty. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.559 I think they're going to keep pressing an easy button. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:41.520 He can win outside. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.400 He's getting a ton of slot reps, as you talked 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.480 about in those first target reads, are a really key 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.920 stat that we've we've uncovered the last few years in 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.880 data mining that you know, it's we want the guys 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.120 who the play was to design for, and those players 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.080 are designed for Jowan Jennings. Right now, I do think 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.120 they'll try to get Debo involved. Maybe that means Debo 0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:59.640 has one of those games where he gets three or 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.880 four carries. San Francisco has some injuries in the backfield, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.199 so that might make sense too. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.120 But I'll give you Juwan Jennings the stats. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.640 He's got seven catches, ninety one yards in a touchdown, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:09.520 take it to the bank. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.679 And you know, throwing in. I kind of agree. I 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.760 wouldn't be surprised if Diebo does do something. They gave 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.840 him five carries last week, so it was over rushing 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.680 marker hit. I do not believe a Grendo will play. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.240 That puts Patrick Taylor of anaconda and probably Debo playing 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.280 out of the backfield, so he may still get his touches. 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.880 But we do know, as you mentioned, Juwan Jennings lit 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.280 up this team before, so FITZI, you've got him at twenty. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.520 That's a solid wide receiver too. This week, let's get 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.840 your take on Juwan Jennings. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.959 Well, first, you might have forgotten about the great Kishan 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.360 Vaughn in that backfield. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.000 No, So it's interesting. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.760 While you and I have done two start sit live 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.920 streams together on Sunday mornings this year, I wasn't scheduled 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.720 to be on any with you this year, but a 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.160 couple of times I've pinch hit for Tom Strack and 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:57.440 our good mutual friend. Those two weeks, you were like 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.120 over the moon excited about two different players. The first 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.840 week it was Bucky Irving, and Bucky went out and 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.880 had either two or three touchdowns and almost two hundred 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.040 yards of offense that week. Last week it was Juwan 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.960 Jennings and Juwan Jennings had two touchdowns and almost one 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:15.600 hundred yards. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.800 So your your track record. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.520 Of being thank you over the moon with players on 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.600 those Sundays starts at live streams has been pretty darn good. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:24.640 When you've done those shows with me. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.720 Guess when I'm over zealous, that's your point, So thank 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.280 you for the compliment. I guess when you hear me 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.040 get really over zealous about a guy, maybe there's a 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:32.760 semi positive at least those two weeks. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.480 Yeah, So no teasing this and telling people to go 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.720 look at our rankings. Where do you have Juwan Jennings 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.480 rank this week? 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.640 Thirteen? Right now? Twelve or thirteen? I will say I'm 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:48.360 not pounding the table. My table pounding tends to come 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.320 from when I see like the whole industry is just 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.160 fading and not as excited. Everyone's excited about Juwan Jennings. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.520 So I think the expectation is there. I don't know 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:03.040 how to compartmentalize. Is he destroyed the rams last time? 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.160 And will the focus be do not let Juwan Jennings 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.760 do this again. I don't know where the balance falls 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.080 in that. I just know there's a safety net of 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.200 Juwan Jennings. But I'm not sitting here pounding the table 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.000 to everyone that you guys are all low and you 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.800 got to get in on him. I would not be 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.360 shocked if Deebo Samuel is more involved in this game, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.800 especially with the team narrative out there, FITZI. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.360 At least the industry is finally ranking Jennings higher. When 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.120 I was pounding the table a couple of weeks ago 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.400 saying why isn't Jennings have a higher ECR than Deebo? 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.560 That yeah, that was my thing last week on the show, 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.240 with that exact conversation. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.440 So, and I was the guy you guys were pounding 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.600 the table at. You guys were staring me in the 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.880 face as you were pounding the table because I was 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.240 the guy dramatically under ranking Juwan Jennings. I'm too low 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.960 on him at wide Receiver twenty. I'll admit that I 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.320 have to revise my ranking and move him up. You 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.800 guys have sold me. I mean, Brandon Ayuk sustained his 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.760 season ending injury in week seven, Jennings missed week seven 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.760 and eight, and then the forty nine ers oat a 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.600 week nine by Since week ten, Juwan Jennings is wide 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.840 receiver thirteen in half point PPR fantasy points per game, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.880 and as Scott mentioned, that includes that Buffalo game where 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.600 the passing games just weren't really working that day. So 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.200 like he has been a stud, He's averaged fourteen point 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.640 two half point PPR fantasy points per game over the 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.320 last four weeks, and that's with the snow game. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.000 You know, I would argue, and I know this is 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.880 later on the rank list that I don't know if 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.840 it's in the script or not. I think the real 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.240 problem isn't what to do with Juwan Jennings. If you 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.480 have him, you're starting him, and you got him off waivers. 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.479 You got him as it's really hard. 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.200 To find an impactful receiver who's undrafted that they do happen. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.320 I know we talked a lot last year. You guys 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.400 got Pookin Nakua in the pentathlon. The first week, which 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.960 was a great hit you did Welsh. But I think 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:49.760 the big problem here is what do you do with Deebo? 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.120 Samuel Right, is he startable? Do you want your fan 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.040 you do you have the stomach to bench him for 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:59.560 Adam Feelin or you for Jacoby Myers, you know, for 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.920 Jalen Waddall, who's inconsistent every week. Whatever it's left to 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.760 DeAndre Hopkins. I think Deebo is actually one of the 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.320 hardest players to rank this week. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.520 I think that's a great question, and he's in the 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.919 next range. But I think since we're here, we should 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.199 just talk about it because he's ECR thirty five this 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.280 week and that's generous. That's just generous to how he's produced. 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.520 But I think we all have that there's this it's 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.720 like the opposite, you know, the falling knife syndrome where 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.280 it's like you don't want to catch the guy on 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.199 the way down. There's almost this like we're waiting to 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.760 catch We know there's a week coming for Deebo. We 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.639 just cannot figure it out. The players and the team 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.760 is are they're trying to signal that it's going to 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.960 be this week. But how he's performed in a week 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.199 on a week up basis, it's not close to you 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.560 start dealing or Deebo Samuel, you start dealing. DeAndre Hopkins 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.760 is ranked below him. I don't think so. By the way, 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.639 all my texts with Derek Brown last night are incoming 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.479 ladder for DeAndre Hopkins. So like Deebo has not proven 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.400 that range. I think that is a great question. And FITZI, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.240
