The hosts declare the episode the eleventh My Guys ceremony. Kyle’s count reaches 100 all-time selections only if the old Dante Pettis pivot is included, and the room immediately decides that it counts before defining the day as three 2025 flag plants per host.
The desk treats Tom Pelissero’s report of interest in Odell Beckham as an agent favor and says he is on the take. A host then wagers that if Beckham signs, he will eat cold SpaghettiOs mixed with cottage cheese during the show—even while admitting that a health kick has made the meal sound appealing.
Matt prepares the breaking-news button after seeing a Slack item that Beckham is going to Baltimore, then realizes it describes the prior year’s signing. The hosts call him a buffoon and thank him for nothing while the published video cuts to three producers under the Deucers Alley sign.
After talk that the annual video would be redone, someone says the replacement was canceled and the existing red-curtain clip plays in full. The three hosts appear as crudely composited performers with awkward mouth animation; the desk calls it horrific, a horror movie, and the product of a prime animator paid zero dollars.
After hundreds of guesses, the desk finds at least one person who correctly named Jason’s three My Guys and immediately promises the listener a swag pack.
The exact 2025 board is Andy—Jameson Williams, Omarion Hampton, Tyler Warren; Jason—George Kittle, George Pickens, Emeka Egbuka; Mike—Chase Brown, TreVeyon Henderson, Tetairoa McMillan. Every selection receives a full-screen white player-photo card and then a persistent lower-left cutout, and the closing roll call confirms the three trios.
Jason reveals George Kittle as Georgie Porgy pudding and pie, then says smelling salts were outlawed for about a minute until Kittle called the office and threatened retirement, forcing their immediate return.
Hampton’s yards-after-contact ranking makes the hosts stop over the unfamiliar phrase 100th percentile. They decide it is technically correct and announce that whoever leads anything can now be called hundredth percentile.
Jason says he pried George Pickens from Mike’s cold dead hands. Mike agrees that they made a jersey swap after Pickens spent months on the My Guy board, and Jason claims the selection. When asked whether he received a lit stick of dynamite, Jason says he will throw it at an opponent; the published edit washes close-ups of all three hosts in deep red.
Mike says he normally saves My Guys slots for players he has not discussed ad nauseam and tried to pivot because everyone already knew his TreVeyon Henderson conviction. He finally admits, ‘I can’t resist. I can’t stop it,’ reveals Henderson, and calls him the demon and an absolute speed demon.
In the final roll call Jason lists George Kittle, ‘George,’ and Emeka Egbuka. The room pauses, confirms that Pickens is just George, observes that Jason has two Georges, and rejects Eddie George as a third because only first names count.
Complete review of the published video shows Mike at left in a black shirt and purple cap, Jason at center in glasses and a black cap, and Andy at right in a dark graphic shirt. A brief Deucers Alley cut at 11:58 shows three human producers while the dialogue identifies Matt’s stale Odell Beckham Slack item; the other two seats are not assigned by inference. No fourth desk host, cardboard bear, Jay Griz image, Jay theme, or Jay sound cue appears. The standard opening montage contains generic bear footage around 00:08, immediately followed by a produced five-human WITH THE DUCERS card, but neither element identifies Jay. The static green, purple, and black object at the center of the desk is a Fantasy Faceoff football helmet. The episode calls itself the eleventh My Guys show and reaches 100 all-time selections only by counting the old Dante Pettis pivot. Before the ceremony, Tom Pelissero is accused of being on the take for Odell Beckham’s agent, and a host wagers that an Odell signing will force him to eat cold SpaghettiOs with cottage cheese on the show. Matt nearly fires breaking news from a Slack item saying Odell is going to Baltimore, only to discover that the post describes the prior year; the camera visits Deucers Alley while the hosts call him a buffoon and thank him for nothing. The annual red-curtain My Guys bumper then plays in full with crude host compositing and mouth animation. The desk calls it horrific, a horror movie, and the work of a prime animator paid zero dollars. One listener correctly predicted Jason’s entire slate and is promised a swag pack. Full-screen reveal cards and persistent lower-left cutout graphics establish the exact 2025 board: Andy chooses Jameson Williams, Omarion Hampton, and Tyler Warren; Jason chooses George Kittle, George Pickens, and Emeka Egbuka; Mike chooses Chase Brown, TreVeyon Henderson, and Tetairoa McMillan. These are photographs and graphics only; no NFL player appears physically. Around the selections, Kittle becomes Georgie Porgy and supposedly rescues smelling salts by threatening retirement, the hosts discover the rhetorical power of calling any leader 100th percentile, and Jason says he pried Pickens from Mike’s cold dead hands through a jersey-swap arrangement after months on the My Guy board. Pickens is compared with a lit stick of dynamite; the published edit turns the three hosts red for several seconds during the riff. Mike admits he tried to pivot away from the already over-discussed TreVeyon Henderson but could not resist his absolute speed demon. The closing roll call confirms all nine picks and reinforces the established George shorthand when Jason lists Kittle, ‘George,’ and Egbuka, giving him two first-name Georges.
Like the fact that that drafters didn't react to it is surprising to me. It shows the overpowering effect of team vibes. Sure. Detroit was awful before Laporta got there. Their offense was not special. And the Raiders, terrible. No idea what's going on a quarterback. And I think that's still were terrible on offense. Right. They were. They were terrible. And that's like Bowers could be very, very good. But. But then you look at Tyler Warren and the question marks, they all surround the other positions on the field. It's just a great ADP bet. All right. I'm doing another rookie ADP bet because if you want to say a player is mispriced, there is a first round NFL draft pick at wide receiver who is on a great offense where the role is pretty much already established from week one as an on the field.
you know, 100% type of player. And he's being drafted in the double digits, like 10th round. Ameca Obuka. Oh, baby. This is a guy pre-NFL draft. I was in love with. I think he is the best wide receiver of this draft class personally. That doesn't necessarily mean he has the highest fantasy ceiling. But he is. But he might. He very well could. I mean, he profiles kind of like a Chris Godwin. Right. Like he is a really just solid route runner, great hands, good athleticism. He's going to have the boundary work. He's just like a kind of a perfect actual NFL wide receiver. And how did Chris Godwin do last year? There's not. There's not a.
guarantee that people know who he plays for. So a mecca and Bucca. Listening to this show, that's how double digit rounds he is. Yes. Right now on ESPN, he's at the back of the 11th round. If you're on ESPN, goodness gracious, 10th round comes, just pull the trigger on Emeka, Ibuka. Rookie wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Chris Godwin last year in the first seven weeks was the wide receiver two for this team, for this offense with Baker Mayfield. And Godwin, we just talked about on the news today. He's not there week one. He's probably going to start on the pup. If he misses the four games minimum, four minimum, if he comes back in week seven, that makes sense. And I'm not worried about when he's back either. He'll start a little bit slow, but Egbuka will establish himself as such an important piece of this offense. Mike Evans will take a step back eventually. I think Mike Evans is a good pick this year, but this is an offense you want pieces of. And this is a double digit.
First round rookie. And if you're not familiar with Amika Agbuka, because we talk a lot about the other two first round wide receivers, and we haven't mentioned enough about Ibuka, he was a five-star recruit going into Ohio State. He was ahead of in the 2021 high school draft class. He was ahead of Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of Xavier Worthy, ahead of Malik Nabors, ahead of Marvin Harrison. And then what did he go and do in college? Oh, he just, you know, set the Ohio State record. for receptions all time while playing next to Garrett Wilson and Chris Olavay and Marvin Harrison and JSN. He's a stud. Like, he's a great wide receiver. If you listen to what is being said from Tampa Bay, everything is a Buka. Everything is. He is a pro's a great blocker. He knows every position. He knows the playbook perfectly. He's where you want him to be every time. There was, Baker Mayfield was talking with the Kelsey brothers, you know, and,
Never heard of those guys. The question came from Jason Kelsey. Baker, what are you looking forward to this year with Tampa Bay? That's the question. Completely open-ended. Like, what are you looking forward to? His answer? Emeka Ibuka is an absolute stud. He's a real deal. Like, you know, he's not saying like, what player? How are the rookies? He's just like, what are you excited about this year? He's like, dude, that dude's legit. I've seen Todd Bull. We've known Todd Bowles. He's been out here in Arizona. He's been the defensive coordinator. He's been a head coach before. I've listened to him to talk.
This is not a guy that is flowery with his language. He is kind of like one of those professional coaches, keeps it close to the vest. He had no problem just basically saying that Abuka was the real deal in every regard. So I agree. I'm so excited for what he represents in fantasy and for this team and for Baker. Right? Like you want Baker to have a solidified set of wide receivers. And it feels like you just got this next generation guy as Godwin and Evans begin to, you know, wind it down. Yep. So Ibuka, your final my guy. My final my guy, double digit round auto selection. Yep, I love it. I am fully in on Ibuka too. And guess what? There is a one more rookie wide receiver that I am all in as well. Tetaroa McMillan. Team at.
T-MAC out of U of A. He plays for the Carolina Panthers. His ADP right now is about the back of the fifth on Sleeper. The other platforms are lagging. They are trying to catch up. So he's a rookie. So I can't talk about his production as a professional. Just I can talk about him as a prospect. Like I said, U of A. How did he do there? Well, year two, over 1,400 yards. His final year, year, year, 84 for 1,308 touchdowns. We're talking about a play with the most receiving yards in school history. Starting there, that's a great place to start. Then you talk about the comparables. Marvin Eloquin, he's one of our writers. He especially helps us out on the Dynasty Pass, which is available in the UDK Plus. But he has his own way of looking at players, and he's, you know, just comparing them. And for McMillan, when you factor in,
Wait, because this is a big dude. McMillan profiles as a true number one, an ex-receiver. So when you factor in, you know, size, draft capital, McMillan was an early declarer. He didn't play his fourth year of college eligibility. The names that show up are shocking because it is D'Andre Hopkins, Drake London, and Julio Jones. This is exactly who you would like to be associated with. if your goal is to be a good wide receiver in the NFL. Now talk about back to the production in college. You know, you got to be able to play against zone. You got to be able to play against man. Well, the good news is against zone coverage, he was excellent, a 2.82 yards per route run when defenses are playing zone against him, smart player figuring out how to find the space and get it done. Man coverage, even better.
And that's what I want out of my ex-wide receiver. I want a guy who can just bully a number one corner. We're talking three and a half yards per route run. This is absolute ridiculous production for him. Then you look at where is he going in the draft? Fifth round. Okay. Laporta, Jason's ice player from the Fire and Ice episode. Joe Mixon got a bum foot. David Montgomery, the backup running back on his own team. And then there's Tedderall and McMillan. Like, he is sitting in the perfect place for, for his draft pedigree and who he can become of like, he's not, he's not pulling a Marv. He's not pulling a Malik neighbors who went in the second and third round or so last year in ADP. It's going in the back of the fifth round. There is, there is very little risk for the upside that he could bring you. I don't know if in the very, very beginning of draft season, I believed he was an alpha.
Definitely believe it is an alpha. And I don't think that everybody understands what I think is the gap between McMillan and the rest of their roster at wide receiver. Right. I think, I'm sorry, Adam. I'm sorry, Adam. I think it is a massive, massive gap between this. We're talking, you know, Garrett Wilson and everybody else he's ever played with not named Devante Adams. We're talking, you know, Terry McLaren and everybody else he's ever played with in Washington. It is a... It's very obvious to me, even from the preseason, what we've seen so far, the plan. The plan is you're the driver of the offense. It's not any of these other guys. We'll hand the ball off to Legate every once in a while. We'll give a crosser to Thieland. Coker, you can contribute in the red zone. I really truly believe Tetaro and McMillan is their full plan on offense. And I think you'll see it sooner than later and regret not drafting him sooner than later. Speaking of the plan, let's go to the team level.
We got the Carolina Panthers, and I get it. There's a stink. There is a stench among the Carolina Panthers. They have been bad for years. But you have to look at where things are going. From week 12 on. That's actually David Tepper is what you're smelling. Yeah, no, I recognize that smell anywhere. It's a little tepper in here. It is bad. From week, look, Bryce Young, we all saw it. The beginning of last year that you had the hope when the season opened and you went, holy crap, Bryce Young is a catastrophic bust, a true team killer that they traded up for, and it's just a total disaster. Gets benched for Andy Dalton. Bryce Young eventually gets the opportunity back. And Bryce Young plays extremely well. From week 12 on, Carolina averaged the team, 25 points per game. That's 12th in the NFL.
Like, that's a top half offense. They are on the way. And then talking about- You are on Team Bryce Young. I am. And it's a scary place to be. I will be honest about that. But the reason I kept saying, an ex-receiver, an ex-receiver, head coach Dave Canales funnels targets to the ex-receiver two years ago in Tampa Bay. Mike Evans, monster season. Last year, before he worked his way off the team. Remember what Deontay Johnson was having a resurgence. When Andy Dalton took over because we were getting competent quarterback player, all of a sudden, Deontay Johnson is a weekly must-start guy because this is the offense that Canales runs. I do believe that's why Canales, when McMillan felt them, they were like, holy crap, this is incredible. Rush the card in, go get him. Going in the fifth is sensational. Oh, and we'll have one last point. We love teams that have a high-powered offense and their defense stinks.
Carolina's defense last year allowed 534 points. The most of all time. Excuse me? The most, the hundredth percentile. I believe that's the zeroth percentile. Well, the hundredth percentile in giving up the most points. And maybe they improve. But to go from the most points ever given up of all time to a good defense, that's going to take some time. So I love Tetaroa McMillan in the fifth. He is a very juicy upside pick. He is a stud. So my three, Jameson, William, Amarine Hampton, Tyler Warren, Jason. I've got George Kittle, George, and Emeka Ibuka. That's right. It's just George. It took me a second. You got two Georges. I do. He tried to find a third. Yeah, but there's not a lot of cutoff. Eddie George, you want to go backwards? I think you'll get zero points. It's got to be first names. We got Chase Brown. We got Trayvion Henderson and Tetaroa McMillan. All right, there it is, everybody.
