I'm curious. No, I am not willing to go hang gliding. Now, at least if the first part of that argument in the upside that you see, if it were somehow to puzzle piece together with the AJ Green health, that would, you'd be hang gliding. Yes, I would be hang gliding in that situation. If Joe Burrell comes in and dominates, the offensive line steps it up, and AJ Green is fully healthy, then he's going to be a steal of drafts. You brought this up on the bounceback episode.

Inside the episode
133 passagesIt's just so tough for me to see a 32-year-old who hasn't played. He's just really freaking good. And the thing is, as Cardinal fans, do you remember this for years and years and years with these young quarterbacks? What do we always say? Just freaking throw the ball to Larry. Just throw it to Larry. Who's the best friend of a young rookie? It's probably the guy that's a Hall of Fame wide receiver. That's bigger than everybody. So that's my hope. I can hope.
I can dream. Oh, we're not stopping you from hoping. I did get a DM. That helps your hang glides? Hang gliding floats. I got a DM on Twitter from a frequent hang glider that let me know that maybe hang gliding accidents are slightly more prominent than I believe. So your hand gliding research was faulty? I would say almost accidentally more accurate in the sense that.
It's a little more dangerous to go with AJ Green than what I thought hang gliding was. It's more like what hang gliding actually is, which is taking a leap from a high location and hoping that you land safely. And that is really...
the age of green experience at this point in his career. Now, how are you two on very, very, very solid NFL wide receiver Tyler Boyd? I've loved him for a couple of years. I find myself super down on him. I would take Jarvis Landry over Tyler Boyd. I would take Michael Gallup over Tyler Boyd. That's where I'm at. Just because I think T. Higgins coming in, the amount of weapons that they have there and the rookie involved, I'm...
You know, I'm just, I find myself never wanting Tyler Boyd, even though I think he's a very talented, you know, above average, solid NFL wide receiver. But I think that's a really, like I'm having trouble lining those, these things up that if you like Joe Burrow so much and you don't like A.J. Green, like who's producing on this team? I guess you would mention T. Higgins, but you're going to go.
Higgins might legitimately not even start. T. Higgins, a second round pick, who's done nothing in the NFL, Tyler Boyd, back-to-back thousand-yard for seasons, and he's the slot guy. There's no way this man. This man's hang gliding. This man's hand-gliding. No one's replacing Tyler Boyd's job. I mean, he's extended. So it's wild to me that if you have no interest in Boyd, how do you have interest in Burrow?
Well, and please, I'm glad you bring this up because obviously it sounded like I said something different. I think that's in his range of outcomes, but that is not what I'm projecting him for. I think he will be an extremely talented quarterback, but year one rookie, like I loved Kyler. Kyler coming in last year, I thought was going to be phenomenal for fantasy, but I looked at the wide receiver options and I didn't like...
those options as much. I didn't like Larry as much because it was like usually and all you, what's the cap? Like 4,000 yards? Is it going to hit that number? Some rookie quarterbacks do. I've got them projected for over 4,000, but barely.
Then if you split that up between AJ Green and Tyler Boyd and T. Higgins and John Ross, there's a lot of good weapons here and Joe Mixin. That would be a problem because you could end up with Arizona's receiving output numbers of last year with Kyla Murray, which would be Christian Kirk 700 yards, Larry Fitzgerald, 800 yards, and Isabella 200 yards, that's the dirty truth that could come out. That's how I project the Bengals fantasy offense to be. You heard you here first, Jason. It's going hang gliding.
against his will. We'll strap them. We'll send him off the cliff, AJ Green 5,000 yards. That'll do it for today's episode of the podcast. We'll get into some more divisional breakdowns on Saturday's show.
