Fantasy Time Machine + Jacobs in Jeopardy? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/28

and they realize what he represents to the depth chart, and we'll see what happens with McMillan moving around in the slot. But, like, Coker is competitive. Like, at the point of attack, at the catch, like, he's a big dude. I love him. Yeah, if. By the way, 12 targets 9 for 1, 334 and 1 in the playoff game, they almost won against the Rams. If Bryce were to step up and continue progressing through his young career, I believe Coker would be very good.

Yeah, when you're looking at late round shots, like, it helps when you feel like the player's good. Yes, that's, I think that's the most important part. Because there's late round guys, you're like, that guy stinks. That's a huge part of my argument. So you're up, Mike. I don't know if you think your guy is good or stinks. But I'm going to go with, hey, look, another guy I drafted at the end, the very, very end of yesterday's mock draft, Dantavian Wix.

who is going even later than Jalen Coker in drafts. I see an ADP of a wide receiver 73. Wix has had some issues, you know, catching the ball. When he was over there on the Green Bay Packers, he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, where it looks like he is locked in as a starter, the beat reporters. He has locked down the number two spot opposite Devante Smith, Sequin Barclay. Wix is a steal. I don't know how we got him.

And then Nick Siriani, the way they are off the line of scrimmage, the way they are at the top of the route, the way they are with the ball with the hands. It reminds me of, oh, Keenan Allen. This is, and they're all talking about Don Tavia and Wix, who, when he's been on the field, yes, the catching has been a little bit of a bugaboo, which is not great for a wide receiver. But the targets have been there because the guy just gets open. Targets per route run. We've had plenty of hyped waiver wire weeks where Wix was the pickup.

Didn't deliver as much as we hoped, but there was a reason for it. Yeah, because the talent. Because targets per route run, 23% in 23, 30% in 24, 21% in 2025 for context. Over the last three years, he's been targeted on a per route basis more frequently than Zay Flowers, Christian Watson, and George Pickens. Like this guy has gotten the targets. He was not ready for his opportunity.

I think what if he is? What if he's ready for the opportunity now with AJ Brown out of town and being the true number two where Mackay Lemon is, that's the sexy player. That's the first round pick. He slithers around. Stowers and Lemon, like we talk about hype trains. Oh, Stowers is. If a hype train could go backwards, the Lemon Stowers combination of replacements for AJ Brown. It's just derailment. What they've done this off season is to make me like Don Tavia and Wicks and Dallas Goddard.

That's what those two guys have done. Yeah. There's still hope for Lemon, for sure. But when you miss so much of camp, it's like those are really, really important reps for a player that's never played in the NFL. I think Lemon will take more time. And in that period of time, Wix could emerge and be a true threat for this team. So I like him at the end of your draft. All right.

My turn. I saw it. Oh, you did? I looked. You ruined you. I know. Come on. If we would have said last year, Michael Wilson will have a breakout, it would have been like, what are you talking about? This guy has done nothing. Good start to this one. He's done nothing. You would have been like, he's crazy for saying that. I went team by team and looked at every single depth charts, try to figure out. I love this, but I hate it.

to try to figure out who could, you know, truly emerge as a team's wide receiver one that is unexpected. That is not. And the truth is most teams have such a stud at wide receiver or at least such a solidified guy that, you know, the Cardinals last year, we had hope. Oh, Marvin Harrison is maybe he will be it. Mike, Mike, if he can get through this without I ever say in the name, he's, he's got to set it up. He's got to set it up. I know.

But maybe never say it and just a little closer show out. I went team by team to try to see which situation could have someone surprising emerge. And the team that stood out to me was the Raiders. Makes total sense. I mean, you got your Trey McBride and Brock Bowers. And you were like Jalen Naylor for sure. I was. I put Jalen Naylor in. Oh, did you really? I really did. I was like the team makes sense. And then I was like, dude, he's just not. Jalen Naylor's just not.

Good enough. We have seen enough of him to know he's not that dude. Trey Tucker then I was like, let me look at him. He's like, he's, you know, he's got his flashes, but he's a bitty baby boy. He's not going to actually emerge. But you know who I think is a good wide receiver? Yeah. Jack Bash, baby. What did he say? What did he say? Jack Bash. You would, I mean, I mean, it's good that somebody giggling in the back. Yeah.

I recognize this is insane. Brother, there's insane and then there's what you're doing right now. You wouldn't have to do this. I'm doing it. I really do think that if the opportunity is given it to Jack Best... No, but that's what Michael Wilson needed. No, I know. I know. I know. Michael Wilson had... But it won't be it. Didn't have the opportunity. When Marvin Harrison got injured, he was forced into that opportunity. If Jack Bash is given the opportunity and plays...

snaps. I mean, he's a great. He's basically solidified his role as the- I can't stop laughing. This would be amazing if we ended the show on a slow fade, like down to no volume right now. Jason just keeps talking about Jack B-Besh to we fade out. He's a much better fit in Kubi-X system. Beat reporters saying he has won the starting slot role. J-S-N was doing work from the slot last year. And the truth is I think- Let's buy in, Mike. I think Bech is a good player. I mean, I was never out. Mike and I love Jack Bess as a collegiate player.

But hey, you know, we'll see if he can get on the field. It's obviously a very deep. You don't like Malik Benson over there? No, I can see it. I think Jack Bish could come out of nowhere. I mean, what a great chance to victory lap this someday. Yeah. On the show, on the exact show. This is Jason. Where we, where is that this is CNN joke? No. Oh, okay.

where the exact show where we were kind of a poking fun at the george halani bros yes we got the best bro best well i mean you and we we in fact are no i'm betts is in there too but yeah he is like we are the entire we are the best bros it's just the handful of us decision you've made it's it's just us in this building we will keep believing until he is out of the league um

Give them the opportunity. Which is probably next year. More. Okay. I'm going to put you on this spot for a real tough question, Mike. Oh, Gersh. We were talking about, we did a show 10 years ago, right? So 10 years from now, we look back from today and we say to ourselves, who has more career receptions? Ben, Senator Jack Bess.

oh to this point no from here on out oh i don't mean give me the numbers of what's actually happened it's a prediction i the yeah he's like uh let me look well no no i was i wasn't gonna look but i was into their careers into their careers who will finish with more receptions which player has more total receptions easy peasy it's bash of course it's best

It's Jack Bash. He's the best man can do. I thought you were going to give me the 10-year question. I was like, oh, that's easy. Drake May. Oh. The current head-to-head numbers, I have them. I don't even know. Jack Bash with 20 total career receptions. Oh, that's more than Ben. And Ben's Senate with 16 total receptions. I am the section. You're not counting.

Didn't he have a catch? I think there's a term limit for that senator. I don't think it's going to happen. We have a live show tonight, so bold predictions episode tomorrow, ballers live.com upcoming shows. Get ready for Ben's Senate projections. Final preseason takeaways. Roster cut news.
