Episode notes & curated moments 9 recordsmoment
Football Time goes lowercase
A host delivers the opening quietly rather than doing the full Football Time declaration. The desk names the delivery a lowercase voice, calls the three preseason contests lowercase football games, and reduces 'It's football time' to a tiny Jim Gaffigan-like version.
moment
Malik Nabers gets the loose-tooth toe remedy
Malik Nabers' chronic toe issue inspires the hosts to suggest sawing it off, compare it with a loose tooth, attach dental floss to a door, and leave the line tight until the toe falls away. They claim not to need Matthew Betz, then admit the injury expert would probably call the plan bad. Published-video review confirms every medical action is imagined.
moment
Every incumbent stands in the way of Mike's favorite
The desk says Mike disliked Rhamondre Stevenson first because Antonio Gibson was his guy and now because TreVeyon Henderson is his guy. It applies the same rule to Zach Ertz, who stands between Mike and Ben Sinnott's opportunity.
moment
The top-ten button budget stops at ten
The ranking segment establishes numbered sound buttons and asks for each rank to be spoken before the cue. After a later miss, the host says 'Hosting is hard,' remembers that production cannot afford numbers above ten, and thanks Al for taking care of the drop.
moment
Jason's Jameis tattoo stays on his unseen back
Jason's demand to 'Bring me James' turns into a claim that he loves Jameis Winston enough to get a tattoo. Jason replies, 'You haven't seen my back,' but the published video leaves his shirt on and never reveals any tattoo.
moment
Joe Milton's dynasty listing gives Mike away
Mike calls Joe Milton III an upgrade if Dak Prescott is injured and insists Milton is 'that dude.' The others refuse the take, fire a loser drop, reveal Milton is on Mike's dynasty roster, report Mike offered him for Rhamondre Stevenson, and accuse Mike of fluffing the asset.
moment
Kyle closes the repeat-WR1 lookup
A host assigns Kyle the live question of when a player last repeated as the overall WR1. The show later reports Antonio Brown in 2014 and 2015; because the video never leaves the hosts and the paragraph is unlabeled, the answer is treated as Kyle-supported research rather than a confirmed Kyle voice.
moment
Jason locks, unlocks, and keeps the My Guys key
While previewing the annual My Guys episode, Jason says he has multiple candidates locked in, has unlocked another, and possesses the key. Direct-video review shows no physical lock or key; the objects remain the show's conviction-board metaphor.
summary
Episode notes
Direct review of the complete published video shows Andy, Jason, and Mike as the only people at the main desk. The episode remains on that three-host set, individual host cameras, ordinary sponsor cards, and wide-receiver ranking graphics; it never cuts to Deucer's Alley and never shows a fourth host, Jay Griz image, cardboard bear, Jay theme, or Jay sound cue. The transcript's isolated 'jay' token during the Breece Hall discussion occurs at the unchanged three-host desk and is treated as Jase/Jason or ASR, not Jay Griz. The opening turns a deliberately quiet delivery into a lowercase speaking voice, three lowercase preseason games, a tiny 'It's football time,' and a Jim Gaffigan comparison. Malik Nabers' chronic toe then inspires the show's proposed treatment: saw it off, treat it like a loose tooth, tie dental floss to a door, and wait for it to fall away. Matthew Betz is dismissed because the hosts claim to have medicine handled, immediately admitting he would probably call the plan bad. Targeted video review confirms the entire toe procedure is imagined; no toe, saw, floss, or door is shown. Mike's player loyalty makes Rhamondre Stevenson the obstacle to two successive favorites and Zach Ertz the obstacle to Ben Sinnott. The top-ten segment introduces numbered sound buttons, then a missed number produces 'Hosting is hard,' a claim that the budget cannot cover numbers above ten, and thanks to off-camera Al for taking care of the cue. Jason demands Jameis Winston and answers a tattoo suggestion with 'You haven't seen my back'; no tattoo is revealed. Mike later calls Joe Milton III a Dak injury upgrade, only for the desk to expose Milton on his dynasty roster, hit the loser drop, report Mike's attempted Milton-for-Rhamondre trade, and accuse him of fluffing the asset. Kyle is assigned a live search for the last repeat overall WR1, and the show later supplies Antonio Brown in 2014 and 2015 without a uniquely attributable Kyle reply. The close returns to the annual My Guys board: Jason has multiple candidates locked, has unlocked another, and says he has the key.

To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore. and Mike Wright. I'm welcome in. Not going to do it. No, Jason. I just did it quiet. I did it quiet. Okay, that's fine. There's going to be some real players tonight. Can you speak in lowercase? Is that possible? I think he did. Yeah, I definitely did. Is that a whisper? It wasn't really a whisper. It was more like this. I don't know what this is.
Is that similar to the voice of public opinion? You know, I think they're their own distinct thing, man. Okay. Well, we do have three lowercase football games tonight. Colts Ravens, Bengals, Eagles, Raiders, Seahawks. So that's fun. Yeah, yeah. You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. I thought it was just Raider Seahawks tonight. I just got more excited. Yeah. Would you have raised your voice, your little teeny voice to a higher level? It's football time. Okay. All right. Well, thank you. That sounds like Gaffigan. High pocket. Which you've been, you've gotten the Gaffigan comps before. You guys have similar senses of humor. Yeah. Similar senses of humor. Similar builds, you know, there's some good, some bad.
Welcome in one and all wide receiver top 10 ranking show today, news to talk about. Got some more preseason action going on tonight. We've got Jason Moore over on X at Jason FFL. You can follow Mike at FF Hitman. I'm at Andy Holloway in the show account at the FF Ballers. A lot of good stuff getting posted lately are amazing writing staff putting up some path to wide receiver one articles. You can check those out at the FF ballers over on X. The UDK is available right now at Ultimate DraftKit.com. Let's talk some preseason. Preseason power up. All right. Preseason kicks off tonight officially. No Hall of Fame game. That doesn't count. But the question for today's preseason power up, quick question of the day. What are you watching for this preseason? We do see a trend right now. Teams at least coming out very quickly and saying they're going to play their starters for a certain amount of time.
The Jets, they came out and said they're doing that. Justin Fields and the starters are going to play. Bengals traditionally haven't. They're playing their guys. A lot of teams we're going to get to see a little bit, which is fun. You know, vanilla offense or not, you get to see players out there on the field, game speed, just like it was fun to watch Amarion Hampton in the preseason or in the Hall of Fame game. What team situation are you most excited to see? I'll go first. I'm looking forward to seeing the Panthers. Mostly because there are, through this off season, there have been a handful of times where I've really wanted to take a step forward. Like, I like Tedderall and McMillan quite a bit, you know, as a prospect, his opportunity, his draft cap, everything is great. And I want to be pretty bullish on him. But I hesitate because it's the Panthers is what Bryce Young, you know, we saw a little bit of Bryce Young where he was like, hey.
Hey, maybe he is going to figure this out. Maybe he is going to be a good quarterback and turn this team around. I really like Jotavian Sanders. We saw flashes the rookie tied in last year who's coming into year two. And I want to be like, hey, there's there's a nice sleeper tight. And we talked about him on the nasty boys dynasty show that just came out. Thank you. You know, there's, there's Liget, last year's, you know, first rounder. Adam Thielen was legitimately great for fantasy football the second half of last year. You don't remember it, but it happened. You've got a running game that matters. But every time that I want to be like, I like this guy, I want to draft this guy. I go, yeah. Panthers, I don't know if they've really figured it out yet or not. So I want to, I want to see more before the season before drafts to hopefully determine like, okay, the vibes are.
you know, the play is continuing from where we left off. I guess that begs the question, like, you know, is it a couple good drives from the starters that make that kind of solidifies things in the preseason? Because how much can you? Yeah, you're not going to be able to definitively know one way or the or another. But what you can do is you can just see like he looks like he's. controlling his placement, you know, he's accurate, he's leading passers. Because if you think about how Bryce Young has played and the two versions we've seen, the bad version of Bryce Young, you don't need to be an NFL analyst to be like, that dude sucks. He was so bad. I mean, he was so inaccurate with his passes, so flustered in the pocket. So it's like, I know he's going to be getting vanilla defenses and...
You know, I just don't want to see bad Bryce. That's all. I just don't want to see him looking inaccurate and looking like rookie bright. That would really solidify doubts and concerns. I'll go with Jacksonville. I think their running back situation is very interesting. I mean, Tank Biggsby, Travis E.T. And I'm trying not to let the emotions of a frustrating Jacksonville offense outside of Brian Thomas, you know, really. translate all the way into 2025 when you have Liam Cohen, somebody that did amazing things in Tampa Bay. And I want to see Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball. I just want to see him out there, game speed. He's going to play. That came out this morning. Bigsby ETN, both listed as co-starters right now. I think Bigsby is the player that I'm kind of tantalized by the potential. If they really give him a lot of work, I know he's not going to catch the football, but right now where he's going in drafts, it could be a fairly,
you know, a really nice depth piece you could add in your drafts. So I want to see what it looks like. And, you know, does the offensive line hold up a little bit in the preseason? Liam Cohen, the creativity. Do you see any of that? Wow, you really. I didn't even know when it started. You really accentuated the, uh, that was an audio drop. That was straight from ball. See? It's pretty much the same thing. So, Mike, what about you? I'm going with the Minnesota Vikings. I want to see J.J. McCarthy. I want to. And what I'm looking for is just do we get, does he look sharp? Do we get quick decisions from him and some accuracy as well? And then do they give us any hint on Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason? That'll be, I think, harder to gleam from just the preseason. They might just play like two drives and maybe Aaron Jones gets one drive and then Jordan Mason gets another drive.
Or do we see them actually mixing in and out, you know, depending on the situation of the down of the distance? So I'm fascinated for that. And then another thing I want to bring up, because we're in wide receivers, so we won't be talking about running backs. But I want to get your guys' take on something. As beat reporter for the Denver Broncos, Benjamin Albright, was being asked about the Denver backfield. Because RJ Harvey, second round pick, yep. allegedly the you know like the chosen one the golden child of of Sean Peyton when they could have in the first round you know taken one of the the prolific guys you know the Ohio guys I don't remember if Hampton was there yeah Hampton was there like they could have gone that direction and instead what we heard was they identified RJ Harvey and they really want to get him time passes bunch of time passes in football terms they signed JK Dobbins who's just
out there chilling on the couch. And Albright. For a good amount of money. Yeah. And Albright was tweeting because people are like, we want it to be RJ Harvey. And Albright's, ooh, I don't know, guys. Like what I'm seeing right now is the split is like J.K. Dobbin's 70%. And specifically because RJ Harvey doesn't have the tools for pass protection. And that is keeping them off the field. So I'm wondering what you guys are making of that. notes because it seems like it should impact something. I brought the pass protection thing up. When you talk about Sean Payton, he's going to play the players that he thinks give them the best chance to win and it doesn't matter where they're drafted. Reggie Bush was the number two overall pick. He had 155 carries in his rookie season for them. I mean, he was a valuable pass catcher, but I just think that we've seen the committee approach with Sean Payton. I think R.J. Harvey will prove himself to be.
the best talent in the room in terms of making big plays. But that's not always what matters. I mean, Giovante Williams was inefficient, ineffective, and still used frequently. There's trust factors that go beyond your yards per carry that go into pass protection, like you said, or just trust of the offense. So look, the nice thing is they put RG Harvey at 5th on the depth chart, so you know the depth chart doesn't matter. Yeah, because if you every single rookie is listed last on the Denver Broncos unofficial debt. Because that's how he rolls. And so he's certainly going to, he's going to give a lot of veteran preference to J.K. Dobbins. But we also saw Dobbins start strong and end poorly last year. So he's older. He's got some tread on the one leg. And I think over the course of the season, the rookie kind of that role.
should increase with trust. You've got to protect the football. You can't make these dumb mistakes. That's going to be, that's always at a risk for a situation like this, that R.J. Harvey goes out there. He makes a couple bad pass protection mistakes, fumbles the football, and, you know, it's more volatile. There's certainly not a, it's not like Gentie. It's not like Hampton where you are locked in a huge role, in my opinion. I think Harvey has a lot of variance. So then based on that conversation of, the belief, you know, like R.J. Harvey should improve over the course of the year. Totally makes sense. Then what do you do with the draft? Because right now, you know, on average, so R.J. Harvey on Sleeper is the 511. You know, that's a pick. That's pretty expensive. That's right before Tetero McMillan. It's just slightly ahead of Isaiah Pacheco. It's in front of my beloved Trayvion Henderson. You know, that if.
If he is, if it really starts Dobbins at 70%, how long until Harvey is someone that you actually feel comfortable starting? And you, I mean, because you just spent a starter pick on him when J.K. Dobbins might be the better pick. I think J.K. Dobbins is the clear better value. Like, J.K. Dobbins is a really good value in drafts. He's going in the double digit rounds. He's not being drafted as a starter. He's going to start the year as the starter. He'll score more fantasy points in the beginning. Now, the expectation. I think for most people, myself included, is that by the end of the year, the more valuable fantasy asset will be R.J. Harvey. But with that, like that isn't a guarantee. J.K. Dobbins could, because he's going to start in that role, what if he just dominates? What if he's great? They're not going to go away from him, even if R.J. Harvey gets better and gets a little bit more involved. So I think the better approach right now is J.K. Dobbins in the double-digit rounds. I still...
think the more valuable asset will be RJ Harvey. I don't even have a problem taking RJ Harvey ahead of J.K. Dobbins. Well, you have to. Multiple rounds. Right, but I can't justify taking him in the fifth round. Like, that's where he's going right now. I won't have a lot of RJ Harvey Harvey. So where about... Probably like the seventh round is where I think his value should end up, which means I'll end up with no RJ. I remember when Dobbins was signed and everyone's like, don't worry about it. RJ Harvey Harvey's fine. That's not true. It's just not the case. Dobbins, obviously...
A lot of preseason work, the number one spot on the deb chart, and then Benjamin Albright, somebody you can trust. Yeah. It's a good question to bring up. And it's one that, again, with the preseason, we got a long way to go until we kick the football off on September 4th. So let's talk some more news. News and notes from Around the League, presented by progressive insurance. Sean McDermott says he believes Khalil Shakir will be ready for week one. That's good. Did you guys adjust him very much with the injury, the high ankle sprain? I hadn't yet. I moved his risk meter up. I think that he'll be slightly less efficient week one. You're not usually at 100% the first week back, if that is his first week back. But it's, you know, you want him there for week one versus week four. Okay. All right. It'll be tight for him to get back in time.
T.J. Hawkinson, Justin Jefferson, they were some Vikings injury situations. Hawkinson returned to practice. Jefferson still sidelined with the hamstring. I'm going to need some practice here, Justin. Yeah, we got some time. We'll talk about it on today's show. I don't like seeing this. Malik neighbor is not at practice once again with the toe situation. They came out and basically said it's part of the process that he has to follow. This toe injury has. Followed him for years. Forever, right? Yeah, it's going back to LSU. Just saw it off. Just, yeah, Malik. Just, you got to do what you got to. Just get that. You know, like, you got the loose tooth. Sometimes I don't know if you can do that with a toe. Sometimes you feel the tooth. You know, the kid asks, like, yeah, dad is, is, is my tooth ready? You go, ah, I can make it ready. I can get it out of there. It's going to hurt. But maybe that's the answer.
Maybe the toes not ready to... It just depends on which... Not a doctor, but... Yeah, it may not be ready to come off right now, but in the long run... Just get it out of there. Eventually, it's going to come off. It's falling off. Yeah. I mean, he played with this all last year. It's not... Hey, you're giving me tooth PTSD over here. It's not something you want to see. You'd hope that he's healthy, but this scares me not a lot, to be honest. simply because he's managed it. The fact that he's not practicing right now, and it's part of the process, just means they're aware of it. They're not, I would, I want them to not overwork him right now this time. I want him to be overworked in real NFL season games, not right now. Didn't it bother him during the season last year? Yeah. I'm telling you. One, one good, you know, put dental floss on there? I don't know if it's right door. Yeah. I don't know if it works the same way. Okay. If the dental floss is tight enough.
Yeah. Then yeah. Just real tight. Leave it on there for a couple days. Yeah, we don't need. Then they just falls right on. We don't need Matthew Betts at all. We got this medical stuff handled. He'd probably say it's a bad idea. Colcomette back practicing for the Bears. Jaden Reed not practicing on Thursday, Marshawn Lloyd doing rehab work. Good. The only kind of work he does. Third on the depth chart, by the way, behind, um, dude. Wilson. The, the Lloyd career is so. frustrating and sad for him right now and are we mentioning the bruce hall uh the the time will tell tweet we just did you you you just literally mentioned it so there's nothing else other than that that was the entirety of it he tweeted time will tell it was it was a very yes it will brief it's a very passive aggressive tweet from brees hall generally this type of tweet uh you know
per the rules of Danny Carter. This is a wide receiver tweet. I don't know what Brie saw is doing. Well, he's been more of a wide receiver than a running back. Okay, maybe that's it. Anyway, so he can tweet how he wants. I think he's very frustrated with what his workload is going to be. He is, in my opinion, being overdrafted right now. It seems like it's going to be a very big committee. So you're saying time we'll tell. He first comes out and says, I'm not their guy. He literally said this at a press conference, said, I'm not their guy. He didn't follow it up with like, so I know I need to prove it. Sure. Yeah.
but i mean he's feeling that if you're willing to sit there and say like hey i need to prove it i'm not their guy they didn't draft me and then you come out and you're like time will tell well what's the timeline he's thinking here is this like my next contract you're going to see i'm really good i think this is yeah this is like the rest of this year is an opportunity to prove himself and get out of town i mean even before those comments jay he was You know, he kept saying, I look at myself as a three down back. I don't know how the team sees me. I look at myself this way. And like you said, the frustration of like, hey, you know, maybe my role is committee back on this team. So how are we feeling about a 13th round Braille and Allen? Great. Feel great. I think I got to pump him up. God, God Dynasty rejected on a trade for him yesterday. I just did a startup over the past couple days and got Braylon Allen and like, I don't know, the.
16th or something like people are not brailing allen or remandre stevenson in a dynasty oh brailan allen oh man that's gross that's brand one of those guys is yeah one of sure not very good and fumbles all the time the other one is oh my gosh remandre stevenson is not a bad football remandre stevenson is not you are very good is also under contract i'm pretty sure he's under contract where this year and next year he's pretty much going to be part of their offense. And this could be an offense with the Patriots if Drake May is that dude that could actually be good, whereas the Jets offense probably won't be. So I don't know. I think it's closer than you think. Just because obviously Braylon's younger. Remandre next year is a 3.2 dead. I'm pretty sure. I'm looking at the Ramondre game log. When he played like any significant amount of snaps, like he had like four out of five weeks in the top nine at the position last year to start the year.
I mean, you're not wrong about any of the stuff about protecting the football, but there was a reason he got, like, paid a bunch of money. He had a really great top 12 season. I think it's a really good question between those two. I think he has some photographs. Oh, my gosh. I think this is because your Travian Henderson. Yeah, it is. You're speaking. Well, no, it's two years in a row because last year is all about Antonio Gibson, so Romandre sucks. This year, it's Trayvian, so Ramandre sucks. He's a. He stands in the way. It's why he hates Zach Ertz. He stands in the way of Ben's Senate. Was Ramandre one of the players that lost weight? I think so. Okay. Because that, like, some players, that's really important. Yes. He's one of them. In his career, it has been an issue. Yeah. That's like Eddie Lacey, you know, he didn't do it. I think Breesall is such a, such a terrible pick.
in fantasy yeah for where he's going where he's going yeah absolutely we constantly like his name comes up all the time around other players in the third round and i'm just like no i would not do that right he's going ahead of hampton right yes he is yeah i mean when the real drafts are happening i can't imagine that happens well yeah unfortunately we'll we'll steam hampton up will we um that was today's yeah i think so that was today's news and note sponsored by progressive insurance quote today at progressive dot Comm. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, affiliates, and third-party insurers, not available in all states or situations coverage subject to policy terms, limits, and conditions. We'll go ahead and take a break and we'll get into our top 10 wide receiver countdown unless you have something. You're stopping me from talking. I'm stopping you from talking because I'm just proud of us as a whole, as all fantasy community. Breece Hall is now going behind Kyron and Chase Brown, which for the longest time, he was being drafted ahead of those two guys.
It sucks to be proud of everyone, but also to not be able to take advantage of foolish decisions. Like I wish Brees Hall was still going ahead of those guys. He was going ahead of them? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. All right. We'll take a break. Be back in a minute. All right. It's time to talk. Top 10 wide outs. Wide receivers. On yesterday's show, we counted it down from number 20 in our consensus wide receiver rankings down to 11. Today. We'll get down to number one. And we'll start with number 10. Oh, wait, I got one of these. Number 10. Thank you. Drake London. Please say the number before every time you hit the drop. Oh, that'd be good, huh? That'd be good. Drake London coming in at number 10, number nine, and number nine for me and Jason. Mike's got him at 11. Was the wide receiver six last year? You know, this is, you know, it's a bet on Michael Pennix, Jr.
competent, which I think is fine. You know, like we had a very, very small sample size of them playing together last year. It was very good for Drake London. But it's also target consolidation in the offense. Like, you know, Drake London is going to be the show. Like he's, he's their wide receiver. And he deserves to be one and number two probably. And, you know, what is a bet against Drake London? It's a bet on Kyle Pitts. What's a bet against Drake London? It's a bet on Ray Ray McLeod. I mean, a bet against Michael Pennix. But yeah, yeah, but I still think, I mean, our bar of success there, it's like if Justin Fields was the quarterback of Atlanta, did you feel good about Drake London? Yeah. Okay. I mean, that's as low as it gets on the quarterback meter. No, I agree. This is really just a target play. He had 157 targets last year. And if you look at the very small sample size, but the three games with Michael Pennix, eight targets, 13 targets, eight.
Team targets. He's not afraid that I don't know how great the targets are going to be. He's afraid of throwing at anyone else. Right. He's not afraid at just hyper-targeting his wide receiver one. It's probably what has to happen. This team is not projected to be a 10-win team. You know they're going to be throwing the ball a lot. And Drake London is he's entering his prime. He's 24 years old. He looked like an alpha last year. He was already, I mean, last year he was the wide receiver six in fantasy. He's being drafted behind that. His situation. is hopefully better. I mean, he did have Kirk Cousins for the majority of the year. So that could be the big negative change. If you have to pick a type of wide receiver, an archetype to be more conducive to a quarterback change or somebody acclimating, you pick the bigger body contested catch receivers. They're the ones that make it a lot easier on quarterbacks. I mean, you got that from DeAndre Hopkins when he had a whole.
hodgepodge in houston brandon marshall was like that when he switched teams to me it's just i mean that's a bigger catch radius that's a bigger opportunity and nobody was target i guess puka but other than puka nobody else was targeted on a higher percentage of his man coverage routes he wins in man coverage and he's bigger stronger faster than the other guys can he finish top three um Yes, it would take Michael Pinnock's being worthy of where he was picked in last year's NFL draft or the previous season. Top three, I really was hoping you'd say five because I might get in. I might get in on five. Yeah, because he was six last year. That's a good point. I do think he could beat. Top four? I don't know. I, you know, do we anticipate him next year being in that conversation with the elite of the elites now? Right.
presumably that will be because he's not going to have double-digit touchdowns. That's all that needs to change. His targets will be there. His receptions will be there and his yards will be there. So if he ends up with 10 touchdowns, he'll be drafted, you know, in the top six, seven picks and fantasy next year. I don't think he's being drafted currently at his ceiling, which is great. And that's hard to find when you're in those first few rounds. He also was one of those players when you, you know, we did the truth series. He only had 6% of his games be great games, right? He finished at 6 through stat accumulation over the year, but he only had two weekly finishes at or above that number. He was much more consistent. It would be nice to see those boom games. Maybe Michael Pennix Jr. can air it out. We went through the whole Kirk Cousins experience last year. So, yeah, it's a player that I think is very safe.
Yeah, for fantasy. You know, I'm whatever. I'm two ranking spots behind, but I think his, you hate him is what you're saying. I think his ADP is fine. All right, moving on. Number nine. Look at that. I remember, I remember to push the button. Otherwise, I'm a little disappointed. They didn't know what number were on if I had just said it. Uh, AJ Brown comes in at number nine. He's one of my more surprising rankings. I got him up at seven. You guys both have them at 10. Uh, I think he's missing a little time right now. He pivoted off the field, Devante Smith's back on the field with, I think, a hamstring. Last year was a disappointment. I mean, he had finished as the wide receiver seven in Philly in 2023, wide receiver five in Philly in 2022. It was a disappointment because the Eagles were too freaking good. And I guess I was going to point out they were too freaking good, but he also missed time.
Points per game wise, he was the same guy. I mean, he was 0.2 points per game better than in 2023, despite the fact that they depended on Saquan Barclay so much, and they didn't throw it that much. So to me, I'm just so confident that AJ Brown is prime for a bounceback, and you find to get him a value that is like probably the floor to me at wide receiver 10 in the second round. So I feel really good about him. Yeah, he's interesting because. how good the Eagles defense is, how good their offensive line and running game are. It's one of those situations where AJ Brown could be way better than what he did last year. But he could also just be not that needed, not very consistent, have games where, oh, Devonte Smith had his game, this game, and they didn't need much more in the second half, and so AJ Brown dutted. So like when you compare him and Drake London, and I will say this, since this is the top 10 show,
