1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: What's up, Friends of Welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Football Podcast. Today, We've got wide receiver ranks 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: for Week three. I'm Chris Welsh, joined by Andrew Erickson 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: and Pat fitz Morris. My rankers extraordinary as we're going 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: to be going to the top thirty six wide receivers 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: on Fantasy Pros ECR, so you can go and do that. 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: We're going to be kind of doing some battles of 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: what our expert consensus ranks looks like where both of 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: these guys have their ranks, talking about some of the 10 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: biggest decisions this week. Who are you guys starting, Oh, 11 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: my ericson. There are some big decisions in the wide 12 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: receiver front and a lot of changes, a lot of 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: variations that are happening going into Week three. 14 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: Well, that's because all the quarterbacks are hurt, right. It 15 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: only took two weeks for us to lose I think 16 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: four or five starting quarterbacks, so that's obviously going to 17 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: have a lot of implications on their top pass catchers. 18 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: Fitzy, remember when we had like optimism for fantasy football. 19 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: We're like, ooh, all our guys are gonna do really good. 20 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: This is going to be great, and then we have 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: weeks where it's like Jake Browning versus Carson Wentz. Now 22 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: that's where we're at and it's only week three. 23 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: Funny, Ericson and I were just talking about that game 24 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: before this and reasons why we might want to bet 25 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 3: on the Minnesota Vikings in that game. But yeah, it's crazy. 26 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: I've got a super flex team where my starting quarterbacks 27 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: for Jane Daniels and Brock Party, so maybe I have 28 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 3: zero of those guys. This week, I'm like chasing Tyrod 29 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: Taylor on waivers. It's things are getting interesting already. 30 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: And the interesting thing too not getting into it, but 31 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: like when you're looking at wide receiver. Wide receivers just 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: led the way for waivers this week too. There were 33 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: actually probably a couple of really good ones you were 34 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: able to jump into. I don't know if they're going 35 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: to hit the top thirty six here, but you guys 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: got some running back questions. You guys have got some 37 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: quarterback questions wide receiver, even though there is some variation, 38 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: there's some deep plays and there's some guys off of 39 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: waivers you might got you may have been able to 40 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: hit this week, and maybe we'll touch on that. I 41 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: wish we were talking about Troy Franklin. I want Troy 42 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Franklin to be a top thirty six wide receiver. I 43 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: just don't just don't know if I'm quite there real quick, 44 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: imnor Or Franklin in waivers this week, Erickson, I am 45 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: an r for me, Yeah, I am Manor. 46 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: I just think he's a better prospect. And you know 47 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: he's only got one fewer target than Calvin Ridley right now. 48 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: Boy, I hate his name though. I wish he would 49 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: just call himself Bill. Just give me just Bill. I 50 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: just butcher that name all the time. But he is awesome. 51 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: All Right, we're going to talk about the top thirty six. 52 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: We're going to go in tiers with our groupings here. 53 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: But one of the things we like to do at 54 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: the Wide Receiver episode here is give a shout out 55 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: to the people that were ranking. We have a weekly 56 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: ranking contest, so when you guys look at the ECR, 57 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: that is all of our rankers that are in putting 58 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: their ranks in for that week, and each week we 59 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: have an accuracy contest. Well, this week, shout out to 60 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: number one Jamie Calandro. If I'm saying that correctly from 61 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: Rotoballer finishing number one, Patrick Thorman from Established the Run 62 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: finish two, and Jacob Gibbs from sports Line finish three. 63 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: Shout out to those guys. But we've got a couple 64 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: FP people. We've got to give some some highlights too. 65 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: How about Kelly Kirby top five in the ranks this week? 66 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: Kelly's a mond our Bro Debro finishing top twenty with sixteen. 67 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: This isn't a flex at all, but I may have 68 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: finished higher than both of those fine gentlemen over. I'm 69 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: not proud of it. I'm not proud of my rank 70 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: but this is probably the only week all season long 71 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: that I may have finished higher than both of you guys. 72 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 1: After you guys are both twenty top twenty last week, 73 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: So no big deal or anything. Ericson, No big deal. 74 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're going to have to scroll very, 75 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: very far down to find where my week two rankings were. 76 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: So I'm just looking to put it behind me and 77 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: bounce back here week. 78 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: And you've referred to us at the top of the 79 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: show as rankers extraordinary. I think Ericson and I were 80 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: rankers ordinaire in week two. 81 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: But you can just still do. This is an off 82 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: week for you guys, or that was, We're going to 83 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: pick it back up this week. These are the guys 84 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: that you want to trust, but also you know again, 85 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: shout out to Debro and Kelly for rocking that, and 86 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: shout out to all of our rankers that take part 87 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: in the contest, and we will take a look at 88 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: what that looks like in next week's show.

I don't know if he's wide receiver won 104 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: anymore with Jake Browning there, but we can kind of 105 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: have that argument. And that takes us to the top 106 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: twelve wide receivers, which you guys can follow at fantasypros 107 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: dot com Slash rankings. This week, it is not Jamar 108 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: Chase as we look at the big board at number one, 109 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: it is CD Lamb. In the consensus ranks, Jamar Chase 110 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: is number two, Justin Jefferson three, followed by Malik Neighbors, 111 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: Pooka Nakua, Nico Collins as your top six, Amanra Jackson 112 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: Smith and Jigbad Drake London, Brian Thomas, A Flowers, and 113 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: DeVante Adams. That is your current top twelve as we 114 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: are doing this, and one of the more interesting takes 115 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: here is really not Jamar Chase, though I would love 116 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: you guys to intertwine this in you guys picked out 117 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, who actually moved up one spot. He was 118 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver four in ECR yesterday he's moved up to 119 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: three and you guys both have him at six. And 120 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: the reason this is interesting is this is one of 121 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: a handful of these wide receivers that have like questionable 122 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks that are going to be behind them. Chase 123 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: has one, and I kind of thought maybe he could 124 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: fall a little bit further down. But you guys are 125 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: really honing in on Justin Jefferson, So, Fitzy, why don't 126 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: you kick us off here? Not that he's not startable 127 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: or anything like that, but like it looks like the 128 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: confidence is a little bit lower this week in Jefferson 129 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: with the backup quarterback. 130 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: Maybe just a smidge. But wouldn't it be sort of 131 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: funny if Justin Jefferson went off with Carson Wentz at 132 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 3: quarterback after two somewhat quiet games with JJ McCarthy. I mean, 133 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: Jefferson's amazing. He is capable of having a big day 134 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: with any quarterback who can throw a spiral, and I 135 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 3: think Carson Wentz can still throw a spiral. But who knows. 136 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: It's been three years since Wentz started a game that 137 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: wasn't in the final week of the regular season. He 138 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: was the Chiefs starting quarterback last season in that thirty 139 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: eight to nothing blowout loss to the Broncos in Week eighteen, 140 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 3: he threw for ninety eight yards in that game playing 141 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: with backups. Can't judge him on that. Went started for 142 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 3: the Rams in their final game of the twenty twenty 143 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: three season and threw for like one hundred and sixty 144 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: three yards, two touchdowns, one interception. He hasn't made meaningful 145 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: regular seasons starts since twenty twenty two, when he started 146 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 3: seven games for Washington, and he had three hundred yard 147 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: games in three of those seven games and multiple touchdown 148 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: passes in three of those seven games. So just kind 149 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: of hard to tell what the Minnesota offense is going 150 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: to look like against the Bengals this week with Wentz 151 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: at the controls. The Vikings are down a couple of 152 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: offensive linemen, so it's pretty hard to confidently predict a 153 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: big game for Justin Jefferson. But he is Justin Efferson, 154 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: after all. 155 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Erickson is your like dip in confidence. I'm putting words 156 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: in your mouth a little bit like putting him at six. 157 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: I wonder I assume there's like a little bit lack 158 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: of confidence. Is the maybe lack of production confidence similar 159 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: to Jamar Chase as it is to Jefferson. Do you 160 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: think there's a similar like drop off at all, or 161 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: do you guys have those do you have them both 162 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: like wildly different, Like you're just fine with Browning and Chase, 163 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: and there's a little bit more of a question with Jefferson. 164 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: Well, I think that you should have more of a 165 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: question just because we've never seen Carson Wentz play with 166 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson. Anytime you're throwing a brand new wide receiver 167 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: with a brand new quarterback, there's always going to be 168 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: inherent risk involved because we've never seen these guys play together. 169 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: At least there's a sample size of Jake Browning with 170 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, and not even just last week. We saw 171 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: it for a stretch of games at the end of 172 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, and we've seen Browning Okay, he can 173 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: be functional, And even in the last game we saw, 174 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: I mean Browning was just like Chase Chase Chase, Like 175 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: every target seemed like it was going to Jamar Chase. 176 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 2: So he clearly knows where the bread is going to 177 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: be buttered in this offense. And his name is Jamar Chase, 178 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: So I feel a little bit more common with that 179 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: in particular. But if you want to try to kind 180 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: of invite the volatility of Jefferson, Well, why can't Carson 181 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: Wentz being upgrade over JJ McCarthy. You look at the 182 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: Minnesota passing game through two games, thirty second in passing 183 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: efficiency with McCarthy under center, it has not been good. Basically, 184 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: they've had one good quarter of passing and there was 185 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: that one big play that Jefferson made on Sunday night, 186 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: But besides that, the passing game has been very lackluster. TJ. 187 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: Hawkinson is on the mail carton where are you? TJ. 188 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: Hawkinson just can't be found with JJ McCarthy. But with 189 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz, I think that maybe we get some juice, 190 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: a little bit more of a boost overall from this 191 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: passing game. That doesn't necessarily mean Jefferson has the massive game, 192 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: but maybe other guys and they're just more efficient overall. 193 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 2: And that's because Carson Wentz is a veteran. One of 194 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: the reasons why I just had trouble buying into McCarthy 195 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: right out of the gates was he was an inexperienced quarterback. 196 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: He didn't take a lot of dropbacks at the college level, 197 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 2: and Kevin O'Connell, if you look at all the quarterbacks 198 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 2: have had success in his offense, a lot of them 199 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: older guys, like a veteran player that have been in 200 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: the league for multiple seasons, whether it was Sam Darnold, 201 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: whether there's Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullins when he was with 202 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: the Vikings, like he was going out throwing for three 203 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: hundred passing yards per game at the end of the 204 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: season when Kirk Cousins got banged up, and Jefferson was 205 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: very productive over that stretch. So given that Wentz has 206 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 2: familiarity with Josh McCown, who's the quarterbacks coach of the 207 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings' former teammates in Philadelphia, given that he spent 208 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 2: an entire season with the Los Angeles Rams, who that's 209 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: where Kevin O'Connell comes from, the Sean McVay offensive tree. 210 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if we just see a better 211 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: overall offensive environment from Minnesota against the especially against the Bengals, 212 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: Like we're not afraid of that defense at any capacity. 213 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I really like the take by the way 214 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: that like I've kind of been baffled, like McCarthy hasn't 215 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: been good, Like it's not even a question, So getting 216 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback in there, maybe it can play like 217 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones a little bit. So like any like massive 218 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: drop or concerns people might have with Justin Jefferson, it 219 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: might not be warranted. But to Gus's point, like we 220 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: just don't know yet, like that's a big thing. We 221 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: got to find out. This was not on the sheet. 222 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: But I just want to ask you guys real quick. 223 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: There was a part of me that looked and there's 224 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: this like Nico Collins, Drake, Brian Thomas underperformance thing that's 225 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: kind of floating out with some people. I'm starting to 226 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: see a rise in questions. The one of those three 227 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: guys that stands out. I just want to get a 228 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: heat check for both of you is Brian Thomas, specifically 229 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: because Brian Thomas got Houston this week and you got 230 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: a stinglely effect in here. It has not been good. 231 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: There's this little rist issue. There's a lot of drop balls. 232 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: Obviously there's some volume. FITZI, is there any hesitation with 233 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: Brian Tom because the other two guys, yeah, they think 234 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: there's been some underperformance, But I wouldn't like highlight the 235 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: matchups as a problem. Not only is this a matchup problem, 236 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: he's underperformed, he's drops he's got the risk thing. Is 237 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: there some hesitation with Brian Thomas for you at all. 238 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: Fits not to not to play him well sh where 239 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 3: I'm ranking him, Yes, there's hesitation should be in should 240 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: he be in the top ten or not. I guess 241 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 3: you can make a pretty good case that he should 242 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: not be. I've got him right now at wide receiver 243 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 3: ten myself. But like, I just he was so good 244 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: last year. Like, I just have a hard time believing 245 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: that something is fundamentally changed with that. And I know 246 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 3: it's weird that he's kind of like, you know, shied 247 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 3: away from contact, as a lot of people have pointed out, 248 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: And maybe maybe the risk thing is really bothering him 249 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: for that to be the case. And maybe there's just 250 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 3: not the degree of chemistry with Trevor Lawrence that there 251 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: was with mac Jones, which is strange. But yeah, I mean, 252 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: like I'm starting him in the leagues where I have him. 253 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: I'm starting him, no question, But like, am I a 254 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: little bit nervous about it? 255 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I'm not trying to necessarily advocate that, like 256 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: we don't start Brian Thomas. But Ericson, do you think 257 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: we should be maybe a little bit more worried than 258 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: we are, because on paper, if you were to put 259 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: it to like, I know we have this like uber 260 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: talented player, but if you took it down a notch 261 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: to like a maybe a lesser like in the teams 262 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: or something, and then I say, Okay, well, hey, this 263 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: guy has a risk problem. He's pulling up on balls, 264 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: he's dropping balls, and he's got one of the worst 265 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: matchups you could have this week as far as a 266 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: cornerback set up, Like, don't you think that's something we 267 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: should be more concerned about. I think we would probably 268 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,599 Speaker 1: take a lot of those things as a justification to 269 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: drop a player, But this is Brian Thomas. Any like 270 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: hesitation or worry going into this week for you ericson 271 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: with Brian Thomas. 272 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: I also have moved him down a little bit in 273 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: my rankings just because of all the reasons you guys outline. 274 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: I don't think you can just completely ignore that and 275 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: just say, well, he's really talented, so he's just gonna 276 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: be wide receiver ten this week. I think it's justified 277 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: to move him down a couple spots, but not enough 278 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: to where you're gonna outright bench Brian Thomas Junior and Look, 279 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: he's a good player too, Like remember when you face 280 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: a number one cornerback, like you still get opportunities like 281 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: the last two weeks, it's not like Devontae Adams Mike 282 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: Evans have been completely shut out, like they've been making 283 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: plays and watching those games closely, Like dark Simley was 284 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: getting put to the test against Adams and Mike Evans, 285 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: both guys who are older thirty plus white year wide receivers. 286 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: So I think that this is a big game for 287 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior to show, well, are you the next 288 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: big thing? Can you beat dark Stingley because he's been 289 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 2: going up against thirty year olds the last two weeks, Like, 290 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: come on, man, like you're supposed to be the next 291 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: superstar at wide receiver, so it's time to step up. 292 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 2: So I think that they're going to make it a 293 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 2: focal point to Hey, Brian Domistet his ninetheen targets last 294 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: two weeks six catches for fifty yards, like eventually something 295 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: has to give here where he has to generate a 296 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: big play is and he doesn't have anything downfield yet. 297 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: So look, Trevor Lawrence is shown the last two weeks 298 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: like he's not afraid to just like chuck it. So 299 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: I think the volly he was going to be there, 300 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: he knows he needs to step up and make big 301 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: plays for the Jacksonville offense to be productive. So yeah, 302 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: continue to roll with Brian Thomas Junior, and if he 303 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: sucks again, then you go buy low because he's not 304 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: going to be dark stingly every single week. It will 305 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: be able to look back and be like, Okay, well, 306 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: it was the stinging matchup that did limit his production 307 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: a little bit, but I think that he's still one 308 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: of the better by lows to make in trades. 309 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 4: One of the. 310 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: Interesting things though, is Travis Hunter does have one of 311 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: the highest design percentages of any wide receiver according to 312 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: Fantasy Points out there, So you know, what are the 313 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: things that are going to break? You know? Do they 314 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: end up pushing a little bit more into that They 315 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: already designed a lot of plays when he's out there, 316 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: but he's only in like eleven man forma. There's a 317 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: lot of just weird stuff that are with it. From 318 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: a ranking perspective, maybe there's more of a worry than 319 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: there's a start perspective. But I had a feeling some 320 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: people might have some questions about that all right, let's go. 321 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: Oh two are wide receiver twos. Wide receiver twos. Starting 322 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: at thirteen, we have AJ Brown, followed by Lad McConkie, 323 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison, Mike Evans, Deebo, Samuel 324 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: Romadoonze comes in at twenty, Tedoro McMillan, A Mecca Agbuka T. Higgins, 325 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: and Jamison Williams. That's our top twenty four start with 326 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: AJ Brown. AJ Brown here at thirteen, just missing the cut, 327 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: but both of you guys have made a commitment that 328 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: he is still a top twelve wide receiver starting. I 329 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: hate the lack of passing offense that this team has. 330 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: This was always my issue with the Eagles. It's not 331 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: to say that Brown and Smith aren't like crazy talented, 332 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: it's just the usage that's out there. It really makes 333 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: me feel like it's going to be a struggle for 334 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: a J. Brown to be a top twelve wide receiver. 335 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: But Ericson, you've jumped in. You've got at wide receiver 336 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: nine this week, So wax on AJ Brown for. 337 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: Us, I think your points about the environment and the 338 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: lack of passing for the Eagles is definitely the main concern, 339 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: but I think you have to look at the last 340 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: two matchups that they've played, you know, playing against the 341 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys and playing against the Kansasity Chiefs. So that 342 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: Chiefs game was a defensive slugfest. It was not a 343 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 2: high flying offensive, scoring a fair from either side. And 344 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: Eagles know that when they're not being pushed by the 345 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: other team, they don't need to be aggressive on offense. 346 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: They can just feed the ball to sacle Markley, play 347 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: defense and win the games. They're playing the Rams this week, 348 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: the Rams, team that probably should have beat them in 349 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: the playoffs last season, a team that feels like they 350 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: can beat the Eagles. So if we're more of a 351 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: situation where, oh well, now the Eagles are done down 352 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: ten points to the Los Angeles Rams, oh well, now 353 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: we actually have to use our really talented wide receivers. 354 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: And I think that last week was at least encouraging 355 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: from a standpoint of A J. Brown getting more involved again, 356 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: not like week one. 357 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: He had eight. 358 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: Targets thirty six percent targets. Here. Now the numbers are 359 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: not gotty, with just five catches for twenty seven yards, 360 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: but it's not like AJ Brown looked like he was 361 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: injured out there. I know that there was some concerns 362 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: about his hamstring injury he was dealing with the offseason. 363 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: He looked healthy to me, and he had over one 364 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: hundred yards in one of the last games they played 365 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: against the Rams. He played twice against them. One game 366 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: he had one hundred yards. The other game he was 367 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: not nearly much as involved, but he had seven plus 368 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: targets in both of those contests. And there's still a 369 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: chance with Dallas Goddard doesn't play, so you're condensing the 370 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: target share into just AJ Brown and Devonte Smith. The 371 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: Rams are down at Keller Witherspoon. He got hurt last week, 372 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: so they're down another cornerback. So there's a picture where 373 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: this is a ceiling game for AJ Brown and I'm 374 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: going to be very frustrated if I leave him on 375 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: my badge after just two weeks where the Eagles weren't 376 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: nearly as pushed as they could be. Here in week three. 377 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's kind of there's kind of the same thing 378 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: that goes on with Brian Thomas, where it's like, I 379 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: don't know how you bench him. That's the frustration. It's like, 380 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: if you own AJ Brown, you're kind of stuck with it. 381 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: How do you not put him out there? So the 382 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: comment by Ericson about leaving him on the bench would 383 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: be frustrating. I think it is pretty impossible to do that. 384 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: It's just the lack of production stands out. But you're 385 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: you're kind of in the same boat. You know't I'm 386 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: quite as high, but you've got him higher than consensus. 387 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: You've got him at eleven. So what do you want 388 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: to add on AJ Brown? 389 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm just forging ahead with aggressively ranking 390 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 3: a great wide receiver above consensus. And our friend Jacob 391 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: Gibbs of CBS at top three ranker last week, he 392 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: noted that AJ Brown had a league best thirty eight 393 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: percent route win rate last week according to Fantasy Points data. 394 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 3: And so there are really no issues with AJ Brown himself. 395 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 3: It's just a matter of the Eagles jump starting their 396 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: passing game. I realized things haven't looked great for the 397 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: passing game under new offensive coordinator Kevin Pattolo. But it's 398 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 3: been two games and Patillo has been the team's passing 399 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 3: game coordinator since twenty twenty one. He was around for 400 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 3: AJ Brown's back to back fourteen hundred yard seasons in 401 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. So I'm not 402 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 3: saying I know the Eagles passing game is going to 403 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 3: be fine. Like, I'm kind of alarmed by the lack 404 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: of play action so far and the lack of variety 405 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 3: in aj Brown's routes. People pointed out that it's been 406 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 3: just a lot of slants so far and not much else. 407 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: But I'm not ready to pack it in and trade 408 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 3: away aj Brown. 409 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weird one for me, like because at 410 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: the end of the day, like it's literally just usage. 411 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: It's not like talent or anything like that. It's like, 412 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: if they want to do it, they could do it. 413 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: He could ball out. It just doesn't seem like they 414 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: want to do it. But that's also maybe a strategy 415 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: to early season when you don't necessarily have to. We 416 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: got a big difference in your guys's ranks. Romadonsay, who 417 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: comes in at wide receiver twenty little touchdown magnet, a 418 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: lot of breakout potential in the draft season about how 419 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: he could end up becoming potentially like the number one 420 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: in this and if I'm looking at this correctly, he is. Yeah, 421 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: he is ranked higher than DJ more this week. But 422 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: you guys are on opposite end, so he's ECR wide 423 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: receiver twenty ericson. You have him higher fits, you've got 424 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: him lower. Let's start with the lower fits. You've got 425 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: him at twenty seven this week, so you've got him 426 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: outside of a wide receiver too. What's your take on Romaduonsay. 427 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: I mean he's off to a really nice start thirteen catches, 428 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty five yards, three touchdowns on twenty targets, 429 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: and admittedly Cowboys Bears in Chicago this Sunday looks like 430 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: it could be a really nice setup for Odoonsay and 431 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 3: both of the passing games. Like Dallas has its best 432 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 3: quarterback to Ron Bland, he's going to be out the 433 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 3: Dallas past we saw just get torched by Russell Wilson 434 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 3: and the Giants. Cowboys Bears is a Vegas total of 435 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: forty nine and a half points. That's tied for the 436 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 3: second highest total on the board this week, behind only 437 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 3: Lions Ravens. I guess my issue with ranking Adonsay in 438 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 3: the top twenty four at receiver is that I cannot 439 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 3: imagine the targets split between Roma Dunesday and dj Moore 440 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: continues to be so one sided, you know, Dounsay's favor 441 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 3: like so far romas twenty targets, DJ Moore just eleven. 442 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 3: And DJ Moore has been a terrific NFL receiver for 443 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 3: a really long time. I have to think the target 444 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: split balances out a little bit. I do still have 445 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 3: Roma Dunsday ranked ahead of DJ Moore, but only by 446 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 3: two spots. 447 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: Erickson, you are the high man. You're the high man 448 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: on Romadonsay. I'm kind of with you a little bit, 449 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: like because he stretches the field a bunch, they really 450 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: like him in the red zone right now. Seems a 451 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: little odd in the Bears. But what's your take on 452 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: Roma Dunsay. You've got him at wide receiver seventeen for 453 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: this week. 454 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: I do you think the spot for him is just 455 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 2: set up so perfectly? And I agree with fits. I 456 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 2: think I felt like that last week where I was 457 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 2: too afraid to rank him this high last week after 458 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: he led the team in targets. But now it's been 459 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: two weeks in a row where he has been the 460 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: guy for Caleb Williams and this is a brand new 461 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 2: offense and I don't think it's just a coincidence that, oh, 462 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 2: we have a new play caller with a new offensives 463 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: coordinator and Roman Noonda is now the guy. I mean, 464 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 2: he's a top ten pick picking in second year receiver 465 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 2: where we see guys breakout all the time. And what 466 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: has me confident about him this week and just kind 467 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: of like rest of season honestly, is he's doing what 468 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: he did last year in terms of just a gobbling 469 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: up all the high value opportunities. I mean, he was 470 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 2: seeing a ton of air yards last year, he was 471 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 2: seeing a ton of end zone targets last year, but 472 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: the issue was he just wasn't catching the football, Like, 473 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: he wasn't cashing in on the air yards. He wasn't 474 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: converting his red zone targets into touchdowns. But now that 475 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: regression is kicking in and now he's converting on of 476 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: those high value opportunities. He had over two hundred air 477 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: yards last week. So even if the targets are more flat, 478 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: the targets he's getting are better for fantasy football. So 479 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: even if we do see DJ Moore a little bit 480 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 2: more involved, which I'm honestly not as convinced because I 481 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: like DJ Moore, but throughout his NFL career. I don't 482 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: know if I would ever say a DJ Moore he's 483 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 2: an alpha, he's an alpha number one, like he goes 484 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: out and just demands targets. I would say that he 485 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: would not fit that category for me, whereas Odoonza he 486 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: looks like an alpha to me, like he was an 487 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: alpha at the college level with two strong other wide 488 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: receivers in that college offense, and in year one, despite 489 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: Keenan Allen Djmore being there, he was a rookie and 490 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 2: he still commanded a lot of high value opportunities. So 491 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: I think that we're starting to see a guy just 492 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: go on a full fledged breakout and in this spot 493 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 2: against Dallas, just terrible defense. I want him in my lineup. 494 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: Interesting way you put that too, It kind of made 495 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: me think of like someone like Deebo Samuel where it's 496 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: like DJ Moore reminds me of that, Like it's not 497 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: someone that commands, but it's someone who want to get 498 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands because they do stuff after. 499 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: But they are not someone like a Jefferson or a 500 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Chase where it's like, what are we doing? We're not 501 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: getting the ball. So that's an interesting take. The final 502 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver we're going to talk about in this wide 503 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: receiver two range. Also wants me to put a remind 504 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: in here of these ranks are going to change throughout 505 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: the week, so you know, take it with a grain 506 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: of salt when how we are talking about some of 507 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: these ranks. As these guys can move. I mean, we 508 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: got a running back We're going to do the running 509 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: Back Show that moved like six spots in one day. 510 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: Some of these can change. And the reason I'm giving 511 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: you this little caveat here is you guys have another 512 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: big difference here on T Higgins. So this obviously is 513 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: going to be like quarterback centric in here. That has 514 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: some effect on it. He's Eserro wide receiver twenty three. 515 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: Bit you've got him at twenty four. You're right in 516 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: line ericson you're way down. You've got him at wide 517 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: receiver thirty five. This is one of those that I 518 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: kind of think it could like drop, like I was 519 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: about to say, like you could. There's guys that can 520 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: creep up and there's guys that can drop. This might 521 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: be one that continuously kind of falls down as people 522 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: fall out of love with this Bengal situation and Ericson, 523 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: Is that the situation that you're in here now? You 524 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: kind of talked up the connection with Chase and Browning, 525 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: but when you look at T Higgins, are you just 526 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: fearful that there just is not going to be enough 527 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: to go around with Browning at quarterback for him. 528 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of how I feel just looking back 529 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 2: at what Browning did with T. Higgins during that stretch 530 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. There were four games that they 531 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: played together when Browning and Jamar Chase were both in 532 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: the lineup, and T. Higgins had one game with twenty 533 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: Fantasy points and then he had three with less than 534 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 2: eight and a half fantasy points. So I think that 535 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: he's going to be extremely boom or bust. Even in 536 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: last week's appearance from Jake Browning, Teiggins had five targets 537 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 2: from Browning. He caught one of them and it just 538 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: happened to be the touchdown. So if he doesn't do 539 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: that again, like that's concerns me about that he could 540 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: just bought him out. We've seen this before, Higgins being 541 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 2: very boomer bust. Last year he was a red zone 542 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: monster and that's why he was so great in terms 543 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: of points per game. But what happens when you have 544 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 2: a lesser quarterback under center, you have less red zone opportunities. 545 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: So whereas Chase, I just think he's going to gobble 546 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: up all the volume and I think that he's gonna 547 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 2: be fine. I think Higgins is the one that gets 548 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: hit the most because of that red zone efficiency. If 549 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 2: he's not scoring touchdowns, then what is he doing in 550 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: your lineup? I think he's gonna be hurting you more 551 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: often than helping you. So for me, it's boom er bust. 552 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: And then you also have the factor of Brian Flores defense. 553 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 2: They're number one in terms of passing efficiency on defense 554 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 2: this season. Like this is no easy cast for any 555 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: quarterback facing the Vikings defense when they're trying to throw 556 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: the football. So for me, that's why Higgins is not 557 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 2: someone that I'm gravitating towards. Again, through two games, Higgins 558 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: is wide receiver forty nine in expected fantasy points per game. 559 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: It's not like he's seeing like this massive target share. 560 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: Was like you need to star key Higgins, like he's 561 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: been so good. The proferles are all there, They're really 562 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: not all there. Like if he doesn't score last week, 563 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 2: you would have bombed, so trying to get ahead of it. 564 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: I really like your red Zone take on it. I 565 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: think that's very compelling. Fits you tell me if this 566 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: is theory though, because something I walked away from last 567 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: week with T Higgins is is that if I'm a 568 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: defense with Browning at quarterback here, I'm shutting Jamar Chase down. 569 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 1: I'm obviously like every team wants to do that, but 570 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: maybe more than ever, the running game hasn't quite been great. 571 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: You've got a lesser of a quarterback that's out there. 572 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: I would feel like a defense more than ever would 573 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: say we're gonna make you beat us now without Jamar Chase. 574 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: And that is maybe like a push for T Higgins. 575 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: It's theory, that's all that it is. Here. Ericon makes 576 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: some really compelling points, so maybe why it just doesn't 577 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: matter in general, But what's your take on him? You 578 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: got him at wide receiver twenty four, so you got 579 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: him to the wide receiver two. 580 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 581 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: I mean that's the thing. The good thing about having 582 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 3: T Higgins for the Bengals is that we just have 583 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: not seen defenses really do that with Jamar Chase, like 584 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: concentrate on you know, rolling safety, help his way on 585 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 3: every snap or doubling him just because T Higgins can 586 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 3: can burn them too. So yeah, I mean, maybe I 587 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 3: am second guessing this ranking a little bit, and I 588 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 3: might move him down, probably not as far down as 589 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 3: Ericson has him, where he's like back end wide receiver 590 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 3: three territory, But I am worried. This is not an 591 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 3: easy matchup for the Bengals in Minnesota, especially after the 592 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 3: Vikings played such a bad game against the Falcons on 593 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: Sunday night, and it's like, I can't see them playing 594 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: two bad games at a row at US Bank Stadium. 595 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 3: But I do think Higgins is going to be involved. 596 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 3: And Ericson made reference to the stint that Jake Browning 597 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 3: had as the starter at the end of the twenty 598 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 3: twenty three season. Higgins played in five of those games, 599 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 3: and over that stretch he was wide receiver twenty five 600 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 3: and half point PPR scoring. Now, Erickson did point out 601 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 3: that one of those games there was no Jamar Chase 602 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 3: and that was one of the bigger games Higgins had 603 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 3: over that stretch, so that should probably be accounted for two. 604 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 3: But I think Higgins can still work with Browning in 605 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 3: the lineup, so I think probably in most cases people 606 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 3: are still going to play Higgins. But I know maybe 607 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 3: if you have the luxury of like a lot of 608 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 3: high end firepower at wide receiver, you might be able 609 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 3: to sit Higgins. 610 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. And one final expansion on what I was talking 611 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: about with the theory talk there is that one of 612 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: the things that differed a little bit from Burrow to 613 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: Browning was that Browning just threw to Jamar Chase. And 614 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm getting at. Like Burrow, you 615 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: felt like he could go in any spot so that 616 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: you couldn't have that honed in concentration. It seemed like 617 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: Browning was just locked in on Jamar Chase. And I 618 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: wonder if that's where that theory locks in a little bit, 619 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: where it's like, because you clearly know that he wants 620 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: to go to one spot, one read, bam, that opens 621 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: up Higgins. But again, it's just all something that we 622 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: can monitor and unfortunately, if he goes off, it might 623 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 1: be on your bench. This week, we're going to talk 624 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: about wide receiver threes here in just a second. But 625 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: as we have told you, we are extremely excited that 626 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet is a presenting sponsor right here on 627 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: Fantasy pros.

Let's start with George Pickens. 655 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: George Pickens ECR. Twenty five or actually twenty seven. I 656 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: miss that he has moved down a little bit, and 657 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm talking about. In twenty four 658 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: hour span. These guys can move. Boy, was I saved 659 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: by overtime with my bets ericson? No, my bets on 660 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: George Pickens this week were saved in overtime. And it's 661 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: a little bit frustrating sometimes seeing the usage. But you 662 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: guys are in You guys both have them high twenty 663 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: two for fits, twenty four for ericson fits you why 664 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: don't you kick it off here? You guys are, you know, 665 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: getting into a range of being quite a bit higher 666 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: than consensus right now. So do you think the targets 667 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: are going to continue to go up and some big 668 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: plays are going to happen? 669 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 3: I do, just because I like the offensive environment in 670 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 3: this game, Welsh. The bears best cornerback Jalen Johnson just 671 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 3: reaggravated a groin injury that caused him to miss Week one. 672 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: Now he's out indefinitely. Slot corner KYLEA. Gordon has been 673 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 3: out with a hamstring injury. The Bears defense is just 674 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 3: kind of a mess. They're not getting much pressure on 675 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: the quarterback Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens. They could 676 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: really eat this week, and we saw the usage perk 677 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: up for Pickens. Ye had that quiet game in Week 678 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 3: one three for thirty on four targets, but last week 679 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 3: five catches, sixty eight yards and a touchdown on nine targets, 680 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 3: and that shootout went over the Giants. And yeah, I 681 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: mean the Bears just gave up three hundred and thirty 682 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 3: four passing Everson, five touchdown passes and fifty two points 683 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: to Jared Goff and the Lions. I think Dallas is 684 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 3: going to move the ball through the air this. 685 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: Week, Erickson, Is it Pickens week? Is it Pickens? Sisson? 686 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: Are we gonna just get that big, explosive, explosive, fricking 687 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: game that we've been waiting for him this week? 688 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: I think you have to take the chance and hope 689 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: that it is that week for him, because the matchup 690 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: is there, as Fits kind of outlined just how banged 691 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: up and how bad this Bears defense has been. I mean, 692 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: every time I was watching the games on Sunday, it 693 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: turned to a highlight and it was just another Jared 694 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: Goff kill shot to Jameis and Williams downfield against the 695 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. They were just like not stopping, just trying 696 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: to attack this defense downfield. So the Cowboys are gonna 697 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 2: see that on tape and be like, yeah, like, let's 698 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: take advantage of it. Let's have some of these kill 699 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: shots here with George Pickens. I do want to add 700 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: one note though, with Pickens, in terms of how his 701 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: usage really ramped up in the second half and kind 702 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 2: of into overtime against the Giants. So Cavante Turpin got 703 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: hurt in this game, suffered a neck injury and he 704 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: was seen in a neck brace after the game, and 705 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: really after he got knocked out is when we actually 706 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: started to see Pickens get more involved in the game. 707 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: So you don't really think that Turpin would affect George 708 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 2: Pickens's target share. But Turpin is a guy that the 709 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 2: offensive coordinate or the head coach likes to get involved. 710 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: He has scheme touches, and every time he gets a touch, 711 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: it's another opportunity. It's not going to a player like 712 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: George Pickens. So I might dock him a couple of 713 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: spots if I find out the Turpen is going to 714 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 2: be playing in this game. But I think there's some 715 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: like a process standpoint. I mean, if the Dallas Cowboys 716 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: score forty points, like you're going to start George Pickens, 717 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: and it's possible that one of the Dallas receivers or 718 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: running backs like just doesn't eat. But I think that 719 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: you have to just trust to play here and just 720 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: hope that yeah, Pickts finds the end zone or catches 721 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: a long ball, because all of those circumstantial things are 722 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 2: there for him. 723 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: Let's move over to a wide receiver that I feel 724 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: like everybody is just kind of like, what do we do, 725 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: Like at the end of the day, what do we 726 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: do with Calvin Ridley? Calvin Ridley is ECR thirty three 727 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: this week. You guys have got him in like the 728 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: general spot Erickson your right on consensus fit. Youre a 729 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: little bit lower. I like, is putting some questions in. 730 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: Just overall, I feel like there was more optimism about 731 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley through the first two weeks. I think that's 732 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: kind of waning. But Ericson, you tell me should it 733 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: be waning? Is it justifiable? Is he on a watch? 734 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have like a super aggressive ranking 735 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: of him. But let's talk about Calvin Ridley this week. 736 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: Yes, let's talk about Calvin Ridley, who I'm now having 737 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 2: more second thoughts about how good Calvin Riley actually is 738 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: because in draft season, the theory behind the play was 739 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: great value, you know, going really late in drafts. Should 740 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: be the number one target on his team. Yes, Week 741 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: one is gonna be tough against retained Okay, we'll give 742 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: him a pass. It's a tough matchup, but then week 743 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 2: two comes, it kind of seems like more of the same, 744 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: just like him not really stepping up making big plays 745 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 2: even though he's seeing targets. Meanwhile, you have elik I 746 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: amanuor the rookie for a Day three pick making like 747 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 2: highlight reel off to highlight reel catches. So for if 748 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 2: I'm cam Ward, who am I gravitating towards going the 749 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 2: ball too? Is it the veteran guy that continues to 750 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 2: kind of underwhelm or this really exciting rookie that makes 751 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: play after play and catches my first touchdown pass after 752 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 2: this just insane offscar play where I'm thrown across my body. 753 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: Every head coach says, don't throw the ball. Caimboard's like, 754 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: don't care throwing it touchdown. 755 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: It was like Madden. It's just just like you're throwing 756 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: across It's the most Madden play I've seen in the 757 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: NFL in like ten years. 758 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 2: And it almost always gets intercepted. But I mean, if 759 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 2: it was really probably wouldn't be intercepted, but it wasn't. 760 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 2: It was Auman already. 761 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: End up catching it. 762 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: So I think that he just is still in that 763 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: wide receiver three conversation. I think that we're in a 764 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 2: situation where I don't think you need to necessarily play him. 765 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: I think it's okay to like wait for him to like, 766 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: let's see him start to connect more with cam Ward. 767 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: I think the matchup is kind of like neutral against 768 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: the Colts. I don't think that their team is, oh, 769 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: you can't throw on the Colts. I think that they 770 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 2: definitely can. But I mean, I think the gap between 771 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 2: really and I you man or should necessarily be super 772 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 2: massive just after two weeks. I mean, the targets have 773 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 2: been pretty even across the board. I you man are 774 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: seeing a lot of air yards in this offense in 775 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: terms of expected fantasy points. Ridley's wide receiver three two, 776 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: I you man or his wide receiver forty two. So 777 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 2: I think that he's Really's wide receiver three. I think 778 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: that maybe you can probably find a more upside type 779 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 2: of play. But I think he's gonna see targets. He's 780 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 2: stole the number one on paper, but we'll see if 781 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 2: that continues. 782 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: Even though it was kind of justified, I would like 783 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: public credit for not putting the forty nine ers wide 784 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: receivers on here, even though I think we should have 785 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: the discussion so due to me getting all of that 786 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: credit for not putting on them fits. What is your 787 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: rank of Ricky piersol Juwan Jennings and Calvin Ridley? 788 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 3: Oh okay, let's see I have. 789 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: I almost wanted to get your don't look at your 790 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: rank and see versus what you put on there? Like like, 791 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: what's your instant reaction when I tell you those three names? 792 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: How would you rank them out? 793 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? 794 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 3: I think right now? I have them all really close together. 795 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 3: I have got Ridley, Ricky piersall wide receiver thirty four, 796 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley wide receiver thirty five, Juwan Jennings wide receiver 797 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: thirty seven, So all three separated by four spots, and 798 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 3: Chris Olave jammed in there in the middle. So you know. 799 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 3: And like Ridley, I'm still optimistic. He has a twenty 800 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 3: five percent target share so far, which is good. But 801 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: Kim Word isn't exactly force feeding Ridley as I thought 802 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 3: he might, because Alekiamaner has been really good. He only 803 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 3: has one fewer targets than Ridley so far. Titan Chigo 804 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 3: Konkwo only has four fewer targets than Ridley, and I 805 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 3: don't really fear the Titans matchup against the Colts this week. 806 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 3: But Kim Word hasn't a two hundred yard passing game yet. 807 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 3: He hasn't thrown multiple touchdown passes in a game yet. 808 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 3: Like until Ward gets going a little more, I think 809 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 3: Ridley is more of a borderline start than a confidence start. 810 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: Also, Erickson, I want you to get ready to ring 811 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: the bell because Week three is Juwan jennings'sen. I am 812 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: officially I'm officially announcing that it is officially Juwan Jennings week. 813 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: Ericson knows as the Seuss Slayer does. It is Juwan 814 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: Jennings should be the number one ranked above those three players. 815 00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: Just throwing it out there here. Yeah it's no contact, 816 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: I say, didn't any details or any breakdown. I'm just 817 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: telling you it's officially Juan Jennings. 818 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 2: And he was productive last week. Got a couple big plays. Yeah, 819 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 2: that's all I need. 820 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: Targets are there, He's making plays after the catch. I'm 821 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: just saying, get ready. Mac Jones loves him, all right. 822 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: The final thing to end us out here, wide receiver 823 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: that is not in the top thirty six that you 824 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: guys think should be someone we should be talking about FITZI, 825 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: why don't you kick it. 826 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 3: Off Jalen Waddle. I've got AMIT wide receiver thirty two, 827 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: his ECRs wide receiver thirty eight. I believe we do 828 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 3: have to keep an eye on Wattle's status. Uh. He 829 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 3: was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice with the shoulder injury. 830 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 3: If he doesn't practice on Wednesday, that might not bode 831 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 3: well for him playing in the Thursday night game against 832 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 3: the Bills. But I know Wattle has been held under 833 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 3: fifty yards in his last four games against the Bills. 834 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 3: But in most cases, I do think he should be 835 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 3: starting him this week if the shoulder isn't an issue. 836 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 3: Ericson and I have just been Waddle advocates for a 837 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 3: long time. He has a career average of two point 838 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 3: zero five yards per route run, and you don't average 839 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 3: better than two yards per route run over four four 840 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 3: plus NFL seasons unless you're a really good receiver. 841 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: I hat tip to Tyreek Hill too. I've been kind 842 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: of writing him off. He looked pretty good he got 843 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: back involved. But Ericson, you, I think you're going to 844 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: tag team with the FITZI here, and you're gonna go 845 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: with Jalen Wattle as well. 846 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that he deserves to be in this 847 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 2: spot here, but I have to say that I'm I'm 848 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 2: not nearly as confident ranking him here, and I was actually, 849 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I just moved Jan Jennings ahead of Jayalen 850 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 2: Wattle because I'm trying to almost find guys to play 851 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: ahead of Wattle, because I'm terrified of playing him on 852 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 2: Thursday night because to the point this shoulder injury. Wattle 853 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 2: love the guy, think that he's really talented player, but 854 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 2: he does not play through injuries very well. Like he 855 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: minute he gets nicked up, he gets knocked out of 856 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: the game, and then you're I'm just I can't imagine, 857 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 2: just like watching the game and then he gets knocked 858 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 2: out and Thursday night and then I have to sit 859 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 2: at zero my roster heading into the weekend. So that's 860 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 2: one of the things I'm concerned about with Will The 861 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 2: thing about the Bills, He's never when he's played APPLEFL 862 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 2: He's never had more than four catches. So what is 863 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 2: the ceiling case for Wattle? And I would argue if 864 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: last week the ceiling case, because last week it was 865 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 2: he was tied up like Patriots defense is terrible he 866 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 2: cooks the Patriots. Year after year we got six or 867 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 2: we got fifty six yards and a touchdown like or 868 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 2: excuse me, over sixty three yards at a touchdown like that? Was? 869 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 2: Was that the ceiling game from Wattle with this offense? 870 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 2: If that's the case, I think that I'm more afraid 871 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 2: of the floor bottoming it out on Thursday night for 872 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 2: Wattle than actually buying into the ceiling, because if last 873 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 2: week is like the best we're gonna get in this 874 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 2: current state that the Dolphins is now if they trade 875 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 2: Tyree Kill at a different conversation. So that's that's why 876 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 2: Wattle for me is scary. I still have my top 877 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 2: thirty six, but I'm trying to find guys to potentially 878 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 2: move ahead of him, and I'm already bracing for my 879 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 2: Thursday night questions of Wattle versus who and really trying 880 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 2: to Okay, do I think this other guy has more 881 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 2: upside than I'm probably gonna go with that player or 882 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 2: even guys that have potentially a higher floor. So, like 883 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 2: you said, you brought up Jwan Jennings, sick, I'm gonna 884 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 2: play Johan Jennings over jaydel the Wattle. So I don't 885 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 2: know fits if I've voiced in of your concerns as well, 886 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 2: because again, like we both like Wadle lot, but I 887 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 2: don't know the optics of this matchup going to Buffalo Dolphins, 888 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 2: dumpster fires, Mike McDaniel, going to make it through halftime 889 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 2: before getting fired. It just a lot of things can 890 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 2: go bad. And like, that's where I get concerned with Wattle. 891 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the What really convinced me ericson is your 892 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 3: scenario of having to dwell on a bad Jalen Waddle 893 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 3: game for several days before Sunday. So yeah, that might 894 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 3: influence me a bit. 895 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: Well, you guys can check out all the ranks we 896 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: went through thirty six and a little bit beyond.
