floor is a little bit higher, right? It would be harder for John Brown to completely disappear than Martavis Bryant. But I also think Martavis Bryant's ceiling is as high as...

38:51 ↗

anyone in the league and higher than John Browns. And you got Big Ben coming back. I'm trying to look up right now real quick. I think strength of schedule is on the side of Bryant rest of season, but I'm going to confirm that real quick. Yeah, and I'm going to look at his snaps, which I'm pulling up. So Bryant's week six played 62% of snaps. Week 7 played 65. So. Slightly better schedule. Right. But John Brown basically doesn't leave the field.

39:19 ↗

He is the number two where Martavis, I mean, if these snaps continue in the 60s, then it's John Brown. We don't know what's going to happen when Big Ben comes back, what the offense will look like with Martavis and his snap percentage. But just off of those two games, I would have to go with John Brown because he's on the field more. Yeah, and that's, I mean, it's close. That's what we said. It was very close. I'm going to lean Martavis Bryant. I just think we haven't got to see.

39:47 ↗

what he is in his second year with Big Ben and I just, the talent is overwhelming and Flandry Jones can make him, you know, fantasy relevant and Big Ben's going to go to town, especially with that deep all. But yeah, it's close. So artists in Massachusetts, would you rather start Brandon LaFelle, Martavis Bryant, or Stefan Diggs? Good option. Oh, who would you rather start out of those four? Mike Evans, Brandon Lafell, Martavis Bryant, Stefan Diggs? I assume Vincent Jackson's injury.

40:15 ↗

For me, I would rather start Mike Evans this week. It seems like a good week for a lot of targets going his way. Yeah, I would lead Evans right now. So who's number two on the list? Probably brilliant. It might be Lafelle because the... Wow. As much as the Miami... Where's the Stefan Diggs, love? Well, Stefan Diggs... All right, Andy, you rank the four. Put them in order. I would put them in order of...

40:45 ↗

That's for this week, right? Yes, of course. All right. So Mike Evans, Stefan Diggs, Brandon Lafell, Martavis Bryant. Wow. So Stefan Diggs, in three weeks, has surpassed Martavis Bryant. I believe Martavis Bryant's played two weeks of football. That's ironic. No, no, but he has a history of. Literally, I qualified this, right? Extra qualified at the beginning. Yeah, this week. I don't like Martavis Bryant with Big Ben coming back.

41:14 ↗

I'm not, I'm taking my odds on staying in the flames with Stefan Diggs than I am Martavis Bryant against Cincinnati. I mean, that's just big, I don't think Cincinnati is going to give up a ton of big plays to Pittsburgh in a divisional matchup. Well, you only need one.

41:28 ↗

Yeah, but Stefan Diggs's baseline is much safer to me. I mean, I'd be happy to bet Stefan Diggs-Mortavis-Bryan. I haven't broke down my rankings. I'm not going to happen. Okay. Well, you're calling me to the carpet on it. Like, he surpassed him. It's not an absolute. It's this week, which is what I said. This week I like Diggs more. I would rank them Mike Evans, Martavis Bryant, Stephan Diggs, Brandon LaFell.

41:53 ↗

I don't trust. Probably fine. All right now. All right. We're going to do one more here. Jake in New York. He needs a week eight flex start. Stefan Diggs, Devante Adams or Darren McFadden. Hmm. Hmm. So you got Darren McFadden presumed to get the line share, but he's going up against Seattle. Yeah. Devante Adams coming back against. It's this one is Diggs. It's Diggs with McFadden very close, but the matchup is what kills that one for me. Yeah. Devante Adams, you cannot start.

42:20 ↗

I couldn't imagine starting Devante Adams, considering you haven't seen him do it yet, and he's going up against the best defense in the league. Fair, fair. So let me get another one in here. Would you rather drop, this is from Phil in Chicago. Would you rather drop Matt Ryan or Ryan Tannahill? Would you drop Matt Ryan for Ryan Tannahill? Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. No. No. No. No. But not without a long sigh.

42:52 ↗

I didn't say no without a long sigh. So, all right, that does it for today's show. We thank you for listening. We've got our week eight preview shows coming up Thursday and Friday.
