Fantasy Football - Underrated or Overrated??? - Podcast for 6/19

play calls and play designs. And when you see the disparity between 23 and 24, I think at times, that's what it comes down to. Like if you're inside the 10 and you want to throw a fade and you, if you catch it, it's contested. That's basically how that works. Right. And so there are players, Larry Fitzgerald, Des Bryant, Brandon Marshall, DeAndre Hopkins. Des Bryant, just like, Grunkowski. Simple out route or whatever that thing was, was nearly unstoppable. And look, I don't know. there's probably not a ton of short contested catchers out there either. So we all went overrated because I think, you know, different ways to win out there. Like I always think of Alan Robinson too. Like Alan Robinson had a horrible, like it was a high contested catch percentage and it was like not a lot of average yards of separation. Same with Brandon Marshall. But they were elite wide receivers because they knew how to use their physicality, right? Like the physicality aspect comes.

That's what we look at with Drake London. He does bully DBs. That's part of it. Yeah, the thing of, like, talking about those two guys is like Brandon Marshall, he still had it for a long time. Alan Robinson, I mean, I assume it was, you know, some of the injuries just caught up with him. Because his career was shorter than it should have been. Of, of his, from a peak, like prime. Yeah, his, his years of dominance was, was short. And that was. That's why I mean if that's your thing, that can go away quicker. If you're like, I'm only, all I can do is be fast. Well, you won't hold up to that forever and you've got to be able to do other things. You've got to be able to get open. You've got to be able to run a good route tree because you'll be helpful to a team for a few years. But if your goal is greatness and long-term success, you've got to be able to get open. Fun, interesting fact, Kyle pointed out.

Just 9% of all wide receiver receptions are contested catches. Perfect example of why it's overrated. There's so many things that are talked about a lot. Third down backs. You know, it's like you don't realize how small a percentage of targets come from the third down. Like it's talked about way more than it's actually impactful. All right. That is going to do it for this new segment, underrated, overrated. Would you consider the segment? I give this show. One big underrated show. Oh, boy. These are these are really big thumbs.
