close to each other. Would you bypass either? Both? I think I would. I think I would bypass them both at this point. I'm not excited. I mean, I have passed Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk in numerous rounds of numerous drafts. I don't have a lot of stock in them. If, sorry. Go ahead. You know, for what that's worth to the offense, that does not mean that Kyler Murray. Like people are always like, well, you don't have these wide receivers ranked high. How can the quarterback be high or vice versa? Happens all.

54:00 ↗

the time. I mean, we had a couple years ago where, you know, Kirk Cousins was, I think, a top five quarterback, and his highest ranked wide receiver was like 45. That can happen if you spread the ball around. You add the rushing for Kyler Murray. I don't think that you have to have a high wide receiver for Kyler to be successful for fantasy. It's very easy because of how bad this offense was to kind of look at everything with a rosy tint of like, it's got to be at least a little bit better than where they're being drafted. To color in some of the

54:30 ↗

challenges that you're bringing up since 2004 rookie quarterbacks have failed to produce even one top 36 wide receiver 64% of the time. So more often than not, a rookie quarterback fails to produce high-level wide receiver play. Good example of what you could see. Different players, different offense, but Lamar Jackson was not good for the John Brown machine last year when he came in and took over.

54:59 ↗

Baker wasn't, you weren't very happy with Cleveland's wide receivers last year. Yeah. However, since 1990, every rookie quarterback that has crossed 80 total rushing attempts, which is only five attempts per game, has maintained a top 10 quarterback per game pace. Five a game? Five a game. Five a game. And Kyler averaged 10 a game in college. That's easy money. And if you're calling, look, if you're going to be running that many plays.

55:27 ↗

it's inevitable he's going to run the ball five to ten times a game. Yep. At minimal, which means it's inevitable that Kyler Murray is worth a late seventh round pick. Of inevitability. So you can read more about the good, bad, and ugly of Kyler Murray. There's an article from Kyle Borgogan, our editor-in-chief. The Kaiborg. Yeah. Who shortened that one? Was that you, Brooks? Yes. Nice. You're rehired. What's his name again, Brooks? Who cares? No, no, no, I want Brooks to. Oh.

55:57 ↗

pronounce it. Kyle Borgnoni. Oh, the hiccup there was the best part because he was really trying to do a great job. I don't think I've ever actually said it. It's Borgnoni. It's the Kaibnoni. It's the Kaiborg. So he's got a great article.

56:16 ↗

Kyla Murray rookie quarterbacks and what history can tell us. It's up on the website, the fantasy footballers.com. That breaks it down in more detail. Star Trek is just the Borg, right? Right. Okay.

56:27 ↗

Is there any other secret fantasy value you expect to see from this offense at the tight-in position or with those rookie wide receivers? I was just going to bring up. I don't think Charles Clare or Ricky Seals Jones are going to break out. It doesn't seem like the system. Break down maybe, though? Yeah, I mean, I think they're valuable for the team, but I don't see them breaking out. The only player that might be worth just mentioning because Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler, they get a lot of airtime higher-drafted rookies. But Kishon Johnson, you dropped his name. I mean, if you're excited.

56:57 ↗

He's a good player. If you're excited about the other two guys, he has every opportunity that those two guys have. I mean, Andy is the opportunity of Butler. And Chad Williams is likely to be cut, by the way. Out of Arizona, they're expecting Chad Williams not to make the roster. Well, that's just based on talent and ability. Right. Kevin White is there. Oh, yeah. The Kevin White is there with an opportunity and one last chance to give it a go in Arizona. One last. Oh, my gosh. Christine deal of the day. So, um,

57:26 ↗

As we close this out, want to give you the pristine deal of the day. Jason is obsessed with Hamilton. He had the chance to see Hamilton in San Francisco, and now he's singing show tunes around the office. Yeah, you know it. Pristine deal of the day, a Todd Gurley signed Los Angeles Rams jersey, $67.57.57. Yesterday at pristine auction. Go check out their daily sports memorabilia auctions. There's always a steal, always a deal. And, yeah, use the code ballers when you sign up.
