19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: Oh give me the damn ball.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: It was that era?

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember. That was one of the first

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: like football seasons. I remember watching like every game for

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: a team. I remember seeing every Jets game because it

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: was on. They're all on in New York and that

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: was bad.

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: Was curse part. Wasn't on that team, was he?

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: No, that was a couple years later. That was once

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: the marcels Art This was still rich kotside. So this

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: was Adrian Morrell. Adrian Morell was the running back this year.

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: Wayne Corbett, Wayne Corbett.

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, all those guys like Webster Slaughter.

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah it was.

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: It was ugly though, But yeah, this is We're gonna

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: talk wide receiver threes, Fantasy Wide Receiver threes, and beyond

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: in this episode. So we'll kind of go through all

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: the guys that were higher on in each tier, you know,

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: the wide receiver three, the receiver four, the Wi Receiver five,

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: and beyond tier. But let me just give the ADP four,

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: the wide receiver three, which is what we're calling the

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: twenty five through thirty six over the last two weeks.

41
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: Drake London Wide receiver twenty five, Deyontay Johnson twenty six,

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: god Win twenty seven, Michael Pittman twenty eight, Christian Kirk

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: twenty nine, Mike Williams thirty, i Uke thirty one, Tyler

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: Lockett thirty two, Mike Evans thirty three, Marquise Brown thirty four,

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: Treylon Burks thirty five, and Johan Doatson thirty six. Sean,

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: I'll start with giving a guy you like to beat

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: their ADP in this range.

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: I got to go with the future Hall of Famer

49
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: Mike Evans here at wide receiver thirty three. I feel

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: like this is ridiculous, and his ADP has definitely dropped

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: since the last time I looked. But and look, I

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: realized it's hard to get too excited about Evans at

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: this point in his career. You know, but he's still

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: only twenty nine. He's going to turn thirty next month,

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: so it's not like he's washed up. Yeah, and you know,

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: going from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield will obviously hurt,

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: But it's not like Evans hasn't been playing his way

58
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: into the Hall of Fame with you know, suspect quarterback

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: play anyway. You know, he posted wide receiver one numbers

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: back in twenty fourteen with Mike Glennon and Josh McCallan

61
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: under center, So you know, I don't think the quarterback

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: drop off is going to hurt him too much there.

63
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: They're still probably going to have to be pretty pass heavy,

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: you know, they might be more involved in some trailing

65
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: game scripts, so I think the volume will still be there.

66
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: And one thing about last year was, you know Tom Brady,

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: you know, was getting rid of it really quick at

68
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: two point four or five seconds per throw, which is

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: by far the fastest the NFL. So that probably hurt

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: Evans a little bit, just because you know, Brady wasn't

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: willing to hang in the pocket and wait for the

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: play to develop with you know, Mike Evans downfield, so

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: Baker mayfield. You know, he's much more willing to hang

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: in the pocket two point eight two seconds last year,

75
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: and he's willing to throw into tight windows, So it

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: could be a good match for him either way. You know,

77
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: wider seat thirty three is way too low for Evans,

78
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: especially in best ball where you don't have to figure

79
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: out which weeks he's gonna go off. So in this range,

80
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: I think Mike Evan sticks out for me.

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, where do you have him?

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: Rank?

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Just curious?

84
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: Twenty six? Oh okay, But again, you know he's not

85
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: gonna be giving you consistent production, so I wouldn't necessarily

86
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: draft him there, especially in redraft, but at thirty three

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: I would obviously, But again, he's better suited for Best

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: Ball just because of the volatility. But either way, like

89
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: thirty three is way too low. And to be clear,

90
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: we're using Best Ball ADPs, so you can get him

91
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: wide receiver three in Best Ball.

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have him right. I'm kind of in line

93
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: with him, just for now. I just I need to see.

94
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if Kyle Trask wins the job, I would that.

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what to expect, you know, Baker, I

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: think at least we'd have some some history. But that's

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: that's kind of why I sitting there. I'm in line

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: with him for now. I just think there is kind

99
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: of a concern. But at the same time, this dude

100
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 2: has never posted fewer than a thousand yards in his

101
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: entire career, so you do kind of have a floor

102
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: that you're working with. And he obviously doesn't miss many

103
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: games either, so't can't hate on that at all. For me,

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: it's Tyler Lockett, you know, I love just guy. I

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: feel like every year he gets underdrafted. He's been to

106
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: wide receiver sixteen or better each of the past five seasons,

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: and he put up production pretty much on par with

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf last season. So I don't see a big

109
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: reason to fade him right here. I know Smith and

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: Jig Buzz coming in, and that's a step up for Mark.

111
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: He's Goodwin and d es Gridge and whoever they had

112
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: playing that wide receiver three row last year.

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: But when you have a guy like.

114
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: Lockett who tend you know, is kind of locked into

115
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: that number two role regardless, you know, usually you see

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: the guys under them are the ones that get their

117
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: target chairs disrupted. So I think the tight end target

118
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: chairs might go down. I think they'll continue not to

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: really throw too much to the backs. But either way,

120
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: I think you're you're getting a pretty good floor sail

121
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: on combo here with Tyler Lockett, who has again finishes

122
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: the top sixteen wide receiver in each of the past

123
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: five years. So I really like Tyler Lockey at wide

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: receiver thirty two. I got him wide receiver twenty six.

125
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, to be fair, you beat me to

126
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: the outline. I think he is the clear value in

127
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: this entire tier. It seems like he's always too cheap

128
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: and this year is no different. So yeah, sign me

129
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: up for Locke at thirty two. Really no question marks

130
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: this game, and there's a lot of guys in this range,

131
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: I think we could poke holes in, but Locke isn't

132
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: one of them. I think he's a steal at wide

133
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: receiver thirty two.

134
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I think so Marquise Brown at thirty four.

135
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: You know in the games that he's healthy, he could

136
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: he should average a higher finished than that.

137
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: But you know, there are questions.

138
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: He is a pretty slight guy, you know, so there

139
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: are questions just about how can you stay healthy be

140
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: in that number one wide receiver. But I think he

141
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: has some upside. And Christian Kirk at wide receiver twenty nine.

142
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting because I have him a lot closer to

143
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: Ridley as of now as well, so I think he

144
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: could beat that as well. But you know, for the

145
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: most part, I think Lockett is the really the guy

146
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: that sticks out for me. All right, let's we'll talk

147
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: about the guys who were kind of fading at the end,

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: you know, go through all the tiers. But let's continue

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: and just go to this wide receiver four tiers. So

150
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: that's the you know, the guys in that thirty seven

151
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: to forty eight tier, and those are so you got

152
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: George Pickens at thirty seven, Kadarius Tony thirty eight, Smith

153
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: and the Jiggle at thirty nine, gave Davis at forty

154
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks at forty one, Portland Sutton forty two, Jordan

155
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Adison the rookie in Minnesota is forty three, Rashad Bateman

156
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: forty four, Jamison Williams forty five, Michael Thomas forty six,

157
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: Quenton Johnson forty Quentin Johnston excuse me, forty seven, and

158
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: then you got Elijah Moore.

159
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: At forty eight. Who do you like in this tier?

160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: So I think my favorite wide receiver from this range

161
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: is Jordan Addison wide receiver forty three. I have him

162
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: as my wide receiver thirty six, so I'm a bit higher.

163
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: There's really no weakness to his game. You know, he

164
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: could line up in the slot or outside. He can

165
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: win down field. He is a bit smaller, which is

166
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: why he's getting compared to DeVonta Smith. I know there

167
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: were some concerns about Devanta Smith we entered the league,

168
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: but you know, he's blowing those out of the water.

169
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: So I think being compared to DeVonta Smith is a

170
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: good thing. And the Vikings probably took Addison in the

171
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: first round to become their number two wide receiver. Immediately

172
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: and sort of replace the Adam Feelen role. And you know,

173
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: Addison to be fair like, he does profile as a

174
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: solid number two receiver at the NFL level. I don't

175
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: think of him as being some like alpha number one.

176
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: So having to play alongside Justin Jefferson could be a plus.

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: You know, defenses are going to have to pay attention

178
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: to Jefferson Hawkinson, so Addison could see a ton of

179
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 3: open targets this season. I just think he has a

180
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: pretty high floor ceiling up, you know, combo in this

181
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: range where there's a lot of guys in this range

182
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: I am concerned about, but Addison is one of them.

183
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: You know. You know, we haven't seen Addison play as

184
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: snapping the NFL, so I guess that's sort of the concern.

185
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: But either way, I think he has a really high

186
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: floor in this landing spot in Minnesota.

187
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you've been talking Addison all offseason and yeah,

188
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: he's a really good route runner, so that should be

189
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: a plus. I'm pretty in align with him for now.

190
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: I just want to see, you know, make sure that everything.

191
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: You know, he has a good camp and he's on

192
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: part to actually be that number two. But yeah, I

193
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: can see him moving up for me. If he does,

194
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: I'll give you one, and I know you got another one,

195
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: so we could close on that one. But I'll go

196
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: with Brandon Cooks out going outside the top forty. I

197
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: think he should be in the mid thirties. I have

198
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: him wide receiver thirty six, and I also have Michael

199
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: Gallup a lot higher than ADP two, who will talk

200
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: about in a bit. But you know, Brandon Cooks is

201
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: still going to be his age thirty season. He's had

202
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: a thousand or more yards and seven of his nine

203
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 2: seasons up until this point. And you know, back in

204
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: twenty one, Dallas had three top forty eight wide receivers

205
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: and it could have been even more because Gallup missed

206
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: time that year as well, so it was kind of

207
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 2: him and Wilson.

208
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: And they still have three top forty eight guys. So

209
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't I.

210
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: Don't think the floor is too is really much lower

211
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: than this, whereas I think the ceiling is is significantly higher.

212
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: Because Dallas, you know, no dn't shows this year, the

213
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: tight end may not be a big as big of

214
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: a part of the game plan. So I think Dallas

215
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: can easily you know what if any team you know

216
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: outside of I guess Cincinnati can support you know, three

217
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: top forty wide receivers. It's a team like Dallas, and

218
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: you know, Cooks doesn't really have to do much to

219
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: beat his adp here at wide receiver forty two. But

220
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: I think I think he's being overlooked here just because

221
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: you know, had the downs year on Houston, didn't really

222
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: want to be there, also struggle with some injuries. But

223
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: let's not forget like this guy is one of the

224
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: more consistent guys in the league, and just Dallas is

225
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: going to be a massive step up from what he's

226
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: had in Houston these past couple of years. So like

227
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: Randon Cooks to bounce back and like them outside this

228
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: top forty here.

229
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have him pretty high too. He's my

230
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: wide receiver thirty five. It is weird that the public's

231
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: kind of sleeping on him, Like you said, last year

232
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: and Houston it was a down year, but you know

233
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: he's discrentled all season and I question if he was

234
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: giving one hundred and ten percent, we can weak out.

235
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: So you know, I give him a boost because of that.

236
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: But like you said, when it comes to the Cowboys,

237
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 3: you know they're going to be missing Dalton Schultz, and

238
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: I don't think any one of these tight ends will

239
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: even come close to replicating his you know production, so

240
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: that that's going to be just extra targets for the

241
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: wide receivers, and Cooks should be, you know, the number

242
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: two receiver, So getting him, you know, outside of the

243
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: top forty seems like a steal.

244
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, And who I know? You like you

245
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: like one other guy in this range?

246
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: Who is it? I'm sticking with my boy Gabe Davis

247
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: here at wide receiver forty. You know everyone, you know,

248
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: they're acting like he was some megabus last year, and well,

249
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: I'll be the first to admit he definitely fell short

250
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: of my expectation last year. He also just wasn't as

251
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: consistent as I would have liked. You know, his ADP

252
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: was wide receiver twenty six, and he finished as the

253
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver twenty seven. So I mean, let's be real here.

254
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: He finished pretty close to where he was being drafted,

255
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: and he had a few things just going against him

256
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 3: last season. You know, he suffered that ankle injury and

257
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: practice after Week one forced him to miss Week two,

258
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: and then he just played through it, you know, which

259
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: was great for our fantasy teams because we want guys

260
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: to play, But he wasn't one hundred percent. In fact,

261
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 3: he didn't have a full practice again until Week five,

262
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: so he probably really wasn't one hundred percent until after

263
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: the week seven by and then if you remember, Josh

264
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: Allen had that elbow injury in week nine where he

265
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: played through that as well, but he seemed less willing

266
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: to throw down field for a few games after the injury,

267
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: which definitely hurt gave Davis. So there was, you know,

268
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: quite a stretch there where we weren't seeing Pete Davis

269
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: or Josh Allen. So while you're going forward, he's going

270
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: to be pretty inconsistent, just mainly do the fact that

271
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 3: he operates as you know, a downfield threat. But you

272
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: can get him outside the top thirty six right now,

273
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: and in fact, you get outside the top forty. So

274
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: I like the value we're getting on him as being

275
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: you know, the number two target and one of the

276
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: best offenses in football. So I think he's a great

277
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: investment in best ball at wide receiver forty. Like starting

278
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: my bench in redraft leagues with him, and you know,

279
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: again he's another player with DeAndre Hopkins signing with the

280
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: Titans gives us clarity on a player like Gave Davis,

281
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: where we don't think, oh, you know, DeAndre Hopkins might

282
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: land there and we have to move him way down

283
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: our board. Right now, it looks like Gave Davis will

284
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: be entering this season as the bills number two wide receiver.

285
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

286
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's back up to my wide receiver thirty two.

287
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: So nice, all right with you? I do agree. I

288
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: think there will be some inconsistency there, and that's why

289
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: we kind of talked last part about you know, really

290
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: trying to get you know, not just two, but three

291
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 2: wide receivers before that top twenty four is out. I

292
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: think you can afford to wait on running back a

293
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: lot more this year. I think there's just not as

294
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: much of a tear drop, you know, as you go

295
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: through these you know, first six, seven, eight rounds at

296
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: running back as there is at wide receivers. So yeah,

297
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: I think Davis still, you know, should play at most

298
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: of the snaps. He's still their best blocking wide receiver,

299
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: was in on ninety three percent of the routes per

300
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: game and in games that he played last year, so

301
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: I think you should see more of the same and

302
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: Buffalo should go to more of a you know, they'll

303
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: probably play more two tight end looks, but that shouldn't

304
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: affect Diggs or Davis and anywhere that would just affect

305
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, the Peosha, Kiir, Deontay Hardy, those guys. So yeah,

306
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: like like Gabe Davis as well. All right, let's jump

307
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: to the guys outside the top forty eight.

308
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Who do you like in that range?

309
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: So I'm going with one guy here and it's Van

310
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: Jefferson at wide receiver sixty eight. And to be cleared,

311
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two was a lost season for Van Jefferson.

312
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,359
Speaker 3: You know, he had multiple knee surgeries in the offseason.

313
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: Wasn't able to even make his season debut until week eight,

314
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: and they really babied him. You know, he eased into

315
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: action and he only played three games with Matthew Stafford

316
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: last year. However, you know, weeks twelve through eighteen, once

317
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: he was culture one hundred percent, he averaged a ninety

318
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: eight percent routes run rate, managed to post the wide

319
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: receiver forty two score over the final seven games. Now, granted,

320
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: you know Cooper Cup was out, but you know he

321
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: was playing with John Wolford and Baker Mayfield on her center,

322
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: so it was a pretty big drop off at quarterback.

323
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: He scored that game winning touchdown when we were at

324
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: that Thursday night game against the Raiders. But yeah, heading

325
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: into the season, you know, he should be a lot

326
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: to be the number two receiver again this year while

327
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: the others kind of battle over who's going to be

328
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: the number three. So he should be the number three

329
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: target and a pass heavy offense who should be involved

330
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: in way more trailing game scripts this year as the

331
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: defense is really falling apart. So he was the wide

332
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: receiver thirty five and twenty twenty one, so we already

333
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: know he has wide receiver three upside when he's healthy

334
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: in this offense. He's playing the final year on his

335
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: rookie contract, so you know, I expect him to be

336
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: very focused on increasing his own stock. So he seems

337
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: like an absolute steal in this wide receiver sixty eight range.

338
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: A lot of these other guys they kind of need

339
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: an injury or something to really hit, but with Ben Jefferson,

340
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: he just needs to do his thing, stay healthy and

341
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: he could you know, eke out wide receiver three kind

342
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: of flex value at times, So I think he's by

343
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: far the biggest steal in this range.

344
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, there's actually I like quite a few

345
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: guys in that in that range. And I think the

346
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: last tier we talked about that, you know, that wide

347
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: receiver four tier thirty seven to forty eight. That's the

348
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: tier I don't really like many many of the guys.

349
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: That's the tier where I'm kind of, you know, us

350
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: going to use that pick on quarterback or running back

351
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: or even a tight end if I don't have one.

352
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: But you know, once it starts, even and I still see,

353
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 2: you know, a few guys here that should, you know,

354
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: just based on playing time alone, should beat these ADPs,

355
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: and I think Jefferson's one of them. And I've gotten

356
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: a lot of him in a Best Ball especially because

357
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: I do think he's one of those, you know, kind

358
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: of downfield receivers that we are kind of hard to predict,

359
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: but the numbers should be there at the end of

360
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: the year. Another one of those guys, Michael Gallup. You know,

361
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: he's wide receiver sixty five right now. He was a

362
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: top fifty wide receiver in points per game in twenty

363
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: twenty and twenty twenty one, and before that ACL injury

364
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: he averaged fifteen yards of catch, eight a little over

365
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: eight yards of target, and about fifty three yards per game.

366
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: And then after the ACL injury last year, his yards

367
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: per catch went from fifteen down to ten point nine,

368
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: his yards per target dropped two and a half yards

369
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: from eight point three to five point seven, and his

370
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: yards per game from fifty three to thirty. So I

371
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: think now that he's another year removed from that ACL injury,

372
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: he will be a top three receiver here in Dallas.

373
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: There's no Dalton Schultz.

374
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: I think he is even more undervalued than Brandon Cooks.

375
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have him Wide receiver fifty five, and

376
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: that's just assuming the Cowboys are a little bit more

377
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: run heavy this year in a frustrating way. But yeah,

378
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver sixty five is a joke, just because you know,

379
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz is leaving behind a ton of targets that

380
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 3: these other tight ends won't be able to, you know,

381
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 3: pick up. So guy like Gallup should be a beast

382
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: this year. And you know he's probably gonna Liane up

383
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: more on the slot. Right with Cooks there see more

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: easier thro as, I should say, whereas last year he's

385
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: more of just a deep threat and pretty inconsistent, but

386
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: heading in the season hundred percent healthy and could be

387
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: at times the number two target in this offense. Yeah,

388
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: I love him here as well.

389
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the coaches are talking about he was running too

390
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: many go rountess last year.

391
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, so I agree.

392
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you know, if he gets away from some

393
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: of those low percentag dress it should make them more consistent.

394
00:18:59,600 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Though.

395
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean, Gallas easily a guy I see him. He

396
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: has like wide receiver three upsides, so oh yeah, I

397
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: think he's way undervalue another guy in Nico Collins, and

398
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: it's more of an upside bet. But I think he's

399
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: the best bet to Weed Houston in receiving. You know,

400
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: he's still just twenty four in year three, twenty two

401
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: percent targets per route last season, so that's pretty good

402
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: and six four two fifteen. I think he's also the

403
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: most likely Texan receiver to you know, get the touchdowns.

404
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if there'll be a ton of them

405
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 2: with see they stroud in year one, but I do

406
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: think they'll be more competitive. I don't think they're trying

407
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: to tank anymore. They're in a pretty weak division and

408
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: you know, Mechi is you know, he missed his entire

409
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: rookie year so and Robert Woods just kind of passed

410
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: his prime. So I think Collins still has a good

411
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: bet to lead this team in receiving, so I like

412
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: taking a shot at him at wide receiver fifty nine.

413
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: What do you think of Nico?

414
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I mean I loved them last year as

415
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: probably once again, probably a year or two early, so

416
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: I'll let you take him here. But yeah, I love

417
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: the upside, especially with you know CJ. Stroud, who is

418
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: really just more of a pocket passer. He's not going

419
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: to be scrambling that much, so I think the guy

420
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: like Nico could benefit And this is going to turn

421
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: into the Dalton Schultz pod, I think. But you know,

422
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz is probably the favorite to be the number

423
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: one target in this offense. But again, I wouldn't be

424
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: surprised if it ends up being Nico. Collins. I think

425
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: has a ton of upside, especially in the red zone.

426
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: Like I think he maybe not this year I bet

427
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 3: for ten plus touchdowns, but he does have that kind

428
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: of physique and playing style. So yeah, I think he's

429
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 3: a solid play this this late in the draft.

430
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a couple more Romeo Doves and Alec Pierce,

431
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: both the year two guys. You know, Dobbs, I just

432
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: think he's going to be locked into a pretty big

433
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: role in Green Bay as that number two receiver. He

434
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: averaged a target on twenty one percent of his routes

435
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: last year, so that's above average. And then Alec Pierce,

436
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: you know, going in a year too. The offense should

437
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: be more vertical under Shane Steichen and well, I yeah,

438
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: if Richardson is the quarterback, obviously, I don't think the

439
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: volume pass volume will be there for the team. I'd

440
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: rather take a shot on Pierce at wide receiver sixty

441
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 2: six than Michael Pittman, who's still going inside the top thirty,

442
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: because you know, these these year two guys tend to

443
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: take a step forward, so I think they could be

444
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: a little bit more equal than people expect.

445
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: And you know, this coatch pass the game.

446
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: Not really investing too much, but I think Pierce is

447
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: a little bit intriguing here going outside the top sixty

448
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 2: at wide receiver. Another guy who should be playing kind

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: of like Dobbs, you know, probably's going to play, you know,

450
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: eighty five to ninety percent of the snaps every game

451
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: as that wide receiver too, and he thoughts on either

452
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 2: of those guys.

453
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I love the Pierce call because you know,

454
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 3: I think Pittman's going too high, especially you know, if

455
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: Anthony and Richardson starts, you know, ten plus games this year,

456
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: which I think he will, but you know, a guy

457
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: like Pierce, he could offer value this late. Because Richardson

458
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 3: does have a big arm, he could rut deep and

459
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: you know there's a chance Gardner Minshew ends up starting

460
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 3: five or more games this year for whatever reason, you know, injury.

461
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 3: Richardson is ready. In that scenario, I mean, Pierce is

462
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: even more valuable because Minshe's gonna throw it more you

463
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: can throw downfield. So I think Pierce has some sneaky

464
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 3: upside just in terms that you know, Minshew might end

465
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 3: up starting more games than we think right now. So

466
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 3: there's a lot of paths at least for Pierce to

467
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 3: hit at wide receiver sixty six.

468
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: All right, what about guys we are fading anyone from

469
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: you know, the wide receiver three tier on that you're

470
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: just not really touching at ADP that you think is

471
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: not going to beat it.

472
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guys that's stuck out immediately were the last

473
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: two on the wide receiver tier when you read them off,

474
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: trailing Brooks and Johan Dotson. Trailing Brooks is pretty obvious.

475
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 3: You know, the Titans just landed DeAndre Hopkins, so his

476
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 3: value takes it hit. It'll probably take a week or

477
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: two for ADP to catch up, but I'm guessing he'll

478
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: be in the mid forties now. Still has a ton

479
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: of upside, but you know, that's a massive hit for

480
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 3: Traylon Burks. Johan Dotson. I love the talent, but you know,

481
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: his rookie season was really fueled by touchdowns, so I

482
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: think he's due for aggression there. Plus, he's just in

483
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: a run heavy offense with Sam Howell likely under center,

484
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: and we were kind of talking about how good Terry

485
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: McLaurin is and how much the offense holds him back.

486
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: So I just don't see John Dotson really overcoming that

487
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: to draft him as a wide receiver. Three. Kadarius Tony.

488
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: While I love the upside, he could just never stay healthy.

489
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: So I'm not completely avoiding him, but I don't want

490
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: to go overboard because you know, he's just way too

491
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 3: risky at this point for me. And then the biggest

492
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: fade for me, is still Jamison Williams, you know, being

493
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: ranked like he was playing to start the season. He's not.

494
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: He's suspended the first six games, so it's gonna be

495
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: really tough for him to hit ADP. I will be

496
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 3: drafting him next year, hopefully he's going into the season

497
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: neither hurt nor suspended. I love the talent, but just

498
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: heading into the season where there are still some question

499
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: marks on how evolved he'll be, and the fact that

500
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: he suspended six games means I am not really drafting

501
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: him at all. Where he's going right now?

502
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, James and Williams, I mean that's the top guy.

503
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 3: There's no way you get Brandon Cooks right there.

504
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: I know exactly Like you can pretty much get Brandon

505
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: Cooks in the same spot.

506
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: Like I have James and Williams factoring in the miss games,

507
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: I have him as my wide receiver.

508
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: Ninety four. Its I don't know how people are getting

509
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: to forty six.

510
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: I'm sixty four and I thought that was ridiculous.

511
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: Well, because I have so we don't know, Like last

512
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: year he was like the number four or five receiver.

513
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: Now could he be the number Could he be the

514
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: number two this year?

515
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: Yes?

516
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: But that's not a guarantee, like they might continue using

517
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 2: him as a situational deep there, especially since he's now

518
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: missed you know, his last like he's essentially missing like

519
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season the last two years, so

520
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 2: it's not like he's had a ton of time to developed.

521
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: So like, yeah, I still don't have him just like

522
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: locked in as that wide receiver too. You know, there

523
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: are some risks there, and I hate fading guys, you know,

524
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: year two guys. I think they usually take a week,

525
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: but it's just there's just almost for I just don't

526
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: see any way for him really to find his way

527
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: to anything close to that ADP. So yeah, James Williams

528
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: is the big one for me. Totally agree with Kadarius Tony.

529
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: I just don't see him staying healthy. And even if

530
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: he does, I mean I don't think he's a guy

531
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 2: that plays, you know, every snap like an usual like

532
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: a number a number one wide receiver typically does. And

533
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he'll be the number one.

534
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we heard some buzz and camp

535
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 2: about it, but realistically, I don't think they believe that

536
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: they can play this guy for you know, upwards of

537
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the snaps per game, So I.

538
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: Think it'll be a committee.

539
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: He'll and he'll have some uh, you know, some big games,

540
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: but I'll also have some duds. So wide receiver thirty

541
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: eight I think is way too rich. And then one

542
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: more going going backwards, Deontay Johnson at wide receiver twenty six.

543
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Not a big fan of there either.

544
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: You know, we've heard Pittsburgh and Matt Canta to say, uh,

545
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: you know, we're trying to be a conservative offense.

546
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: You know, we're not really trying to.

547
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 2: Throw the ball a ton, and I think you are

548
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: going to see an improvement from George Pickens entering year two.

549
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: So and like I said, you know, I think we

550
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: talked about this on another pot, but I don't. I

551
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 2: just don't know if we can kind of look at

552
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: Deontay as that same guy he was with Big Ben

553
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: necessarily because it's a it is a little bit of

554
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: a different situation now with with Kenny Picky here.

555
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: So I just see a lot of downside with Beyonce.

556
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: I do think he'll rebound in a touchdown category a

557
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: little bit, but you know, when when he's going ahead

558
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: of guys like Tyra Lockett, Brandon, I you, Mike Evans, like,

559
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: I just don't think he should be going above those guys.

560
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: So Deontay is another guy that I really don't want

561
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: to touch at ADP now. But if he drops, you know,

562
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: six seven spots, maybe I think it'll be more in line.

563
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: But as of now, he's still you know, he's still

564
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: little too high for me. Uh at twenty six, going

565
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: just one spot behind the Drake London. I think there's

566
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: a bigger gap there.

567
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: So you have Pickens ranked ahead of Deontay right now.

568
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: No, but I have them a little quote sir close.

569
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're both in the mid thirties, Like I think

570
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: pickkets thirty seven and Deontay's like thirty three or something

571
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: like that. So it's just I have Deontay kind of

572
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: at the more towards the end of that wide receiver

573
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: three tier, whereas ADP has them a little more towards

574
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: the top.

575
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: Part of it.

576
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, just a little concerned about about about

577
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: his production this year.

578
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: All right?

579
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: That is going to do it for our wide receiver

580
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,280
