He's probably not going to live up to. What about a dynasty league? In a startup? Yeah. Then he probably is. I think he's going to be overdrafted in all formats, personally. Right. And I've said this for a while. You don't think he's good for 100 receptions next year? I think he's going to be great. I think he will be solid. He could absolutely be a one. In a dynasty leagues, if you think that Drew Brees has...

Inside the episode
130 passagesyou know, at least a couple years left, then Michael Thomas is a very high draft pay. I don't necessarily think he's good for 100. I know he had 92 receptions last year's rookie, and that was with Brandon Cook's there. But he also caught 76% of the balls thrown his way. That's not happening for his career. Otherwise, he's, you know, first ballot hall of famer. I mean, that's just one of those things where...
Now with Brandon Cook's leaving, what does that mean for defenses lining up across the field? Michael Thomas, you have a year of tape on Michael Thomas that you didn't have last year, obviously, and now Brandon Cooks is not, you know, I know they've got Ted Ginn, but no offense to Ted Ginn, you're not Brandon Cooks. Let's say, you know what you do. You pass on Thomas, you wait quite a few rounds, and then you grab my man, Willie Sneed. Oh, yeah, Willie Sneed.
is looking really good. And it's not to bash on Michael Thomas or say he's not going to be good, but I do agree that where Michael Thomas is going right now, I would be hard-pressed to think he's going to return value. I kind of buy in. I don't know. I buy into the volume there. I mean, the second half of the season, he was on pace for about 110 receptions, 11 touchdowns. Obviously turned it on in the second half of the season. I guess I buy in that there will be enough volume for him. So I'm looking at ADP from Fantasy Football Calculator.
And I don't think it's had enough time to, you know, to reboot after the Brandon Cook's trade. So Michael Thomas was already going at the back or right at the middle. Talk about some guys around the second round. Exactly. So here's the two guys right in front of him, T.Y Hilton, Des Bryant, after Michael Thomas. Amari Cooper, DeAndre Hopkins, Devante Adams, Keenan Allen. I would take Michael Thomas over all those guys easily. Sure.
I think that's the perfect spot because I would not take him over Des Bryant. Those are the wide receivers. Yeah, no, I would not take him over Des Bryant and I would take him over the four guys you said. T.Y. Hilton, T.Y. Hilton, I might take him ahead of. I would. Because I'm looking because T.I. Hilton just doesn't score the way Michael Thomas could score. So, and I, you said you definitely take T. Yilton.
