are interesting to me. Yeah, I obviously talked a lot about Greg Dulcich, so he applies here. He's going at 140 right now. Much lower than both those two guys I brought up. Yeah, so I'm a big fan of that. And if you want to go even lower, and I do, Tyler Higby is going to be. You're going to shake him out. He, to me, is one of those guys where. You want two, if you're going with the three tight-end build, you want two big explosive guys, and you want one guy with a baseline. And Higby is your baseline guy. He will, you know, make sure you don't end up with a goose any week. He was over 100 targets last year. The problem is he scored no touchdowns, and that was because Matthew Stafford wasn't there to throw touchdowns. The year you were just talking about with Van Jefferson, where he was the number two target and was really good for fantasy.

56:05 ↗

Well, guess what? It was like four targets behind him was Tyler Higby. They lost Alan Robinson. And so, I don't think they lost him. No, they gained not having Alan Robinson. And, you know, Higby will be. I wouldn't say they lost him. Higby will just be a volume play that is going so late and left for dead that I like him. Honestly, he is very similar to the way I look at Dalton Schultz, which is you don't want to draft either guy and you probably are dumb. If you don't, because they're going to be parts of the, they're going to be focal points of these offenses. Yeah, high volume targets. Give me Matthew Stafford as a quarterback. I haven't even heard Dalton Schultz's name brought up. But this was a free agent titan that has performed at the NFL level who will get plenty of targets in Houston. He is like, uh,

56:51 ↗

Austin Hooper to me. To me, you know who he reminds me of? He reminds me of Tyler Higbee last year where you didn't have a quarterback that could throw touchdowns. And I think with the rookie quarterback in tow, they'll have a lot of volume. And this is half PPR. If it was full PPR, it'd be a little bit more in on Dalton Schultz, but I don't expect him to score much. Mike, you've written your name in the smallest font available to our show doc. Do you want to whisper it? Say it's taste of milk. Yes. Say it louder? No. He said Tayson Hill. It's Tayson Hill. Who is going as the Titan 21. Oh, in best ball, too. That is, that is the only, like I will never do this because I am a man who has integrity. Yes, a strong moral foundation that is just opposed to Tayson Hill being on my teams. But to go as the Titan 21 is just absolute nonsense. All.

57:50 ↗

remarks coming out of New Orleans are Tayson Hill will be in the same role that he was in last year, which if you're playing him in season long, you take the chance that you are going to get a wrong way. You're going to get a zero from the tight end position, which is brutal. But in a best ball, when you don't have to pick, when Tayson Hill is going to have the two rushing touchdowns on two touches for the entirety of the game, but that's... That's bonanza points for your best ball team. So him going that late to me. And I'm anti-Tasem Hill. So I don't understand what the draft community is doing. I don't either. And I'm part of it. I mean, I don't have much Taysm Hill. And I'm writing down like draft Taysam Hill. He's going to go in 171. Why is he there? I don't know. It's a great pick. And I'm going to be drafting some Tatham Hill. I think maybe it's because Derek Carr.

58:44 ↗

Like you're thinking, oh, maybe he'll be less involved, but that's dumb. He will be just as involved as he always is. He didn't do his work through the air. It was getting carries. And the starting running back for the New Orleans Saints is probably going to be suspended for six games. Kendry Miller's getting suspended? No. How dare you? I mean, goal line opportunities, he succeeded there. It's going to, what he did last year is probably going to happen. Maybe not as great. of 575 and 7 on the ground. But even if you get 505 on the ground for a player who's the Titan 21, you should be drafting that player. All right. That was Best Balldown presented by Underdog Fantasy.
