really fantasy-wise can deliver on the talent that is on the field. I was so excited for him to be across the field from Calvin Ridley, catching passes from Matt Ryan in his year two and really like take a step forward. But Atlanta is set up to just suck. They are going to be in the running for the number one pick. You said that so aggressively. Yeah, well, it's just the truth. And I think it's not just suck. No, suck.

56:53 ↗

They, look, they have no- Kyle must not like that. Oh, I think Kyle loves that. Kyle, would you rather than be surprisingly good this year or get the number one pick?

57:02 ↗

Just be awful. Yeah, exactly. And they're, they're, oh, the Marriota plan. They're a team after your own heart then because, unfortunately, the suspension came down for Calvin Ridley. So whether or not he was going to come back to the team or be traded for capital to be used for the team, that's kaput. They lost Russell Gage, which seems like it didn't matter. It matters. It matters now. Then they...

57:28 ↗

respectfully trade Matt Ryan so that Matt Ryan doesn't have to end his career on this team, and re-sign or go-sign Marcus Mariotta. So this is a team where Kyle Pitts is your only weapon. Kyle Pitts is going to be double-covered every play. There's just no reason to guard anyone else on that roster. I don't think Mario dais throw him for 30 touchdowns. I think this is going to be a bad team. So the next year or two, I'm just so sad because I think it'll be a little bit

57:58 ↗

of time before Kyle Pitts has the touchdown upside that will really give the fantasy goodness. We all want to see in Kyle Pitts. He is unbelievably talented, but I'm very sad because in a redraft league this year, I think Kyle Pitts was going to be in conversation for that number two, number three draft pick, you know, taking that leap forward. And now it's like... He's going to go high. He is going to go high, but not by me. Like 20 touchdowns for Matt Ryan last year, 3.6% touchdown rate.

58:28 ↗

Yeah, it was bad for him because he had no weapons. Now put Marioo there and take away a few weapons. Say Mario, he's thrown for more than 20 touchdowns one time. Well, I'm just saying, like last year, if that's, you think Mario is going to be worse than 20 touchdowns? Yeah, I think he will be worse. Marcus Mario led offenses ranked 21st, 28th, 28th, and 31st in past attempts in his career. And, oh.

58:56 ↗

He played with this head coach. Would it change your opinion if they end up with the number one or number two wide receiver in the draft? It will be very, very helpful, but I think that's still a two-year plan. Still got the Mario dee problem? Help, yeah. All right, so you went with Kyle Pitts, and yeah, Mike and Jason went with one of my franchise keeper options. Didn't go the way I wanted for Metcalf or for Kyle Pitts.

59:23 ↗

Yeah, I was a little torn today, too, because that draft is like, okay, I drafted Sutton Ye, but I also drafted D.K. Metcalfe, so someone get a quarterback. All right, that is going to do it for today's episode of the Fantasy Footballers. We'll catch you on Thursday, though. I promise. We'll be here. All right. Thank you for supporting us.
