This podcast was rough - not a lot of finished thoughts. Very all over the place. Usually I really like these shows, but this just felt half baked

[ThomasR]

Obviously Matt is going through a life issue it was referenced twice so thoughts brother

[geekahertz]

Wishing the best for Matt and whatever life emergency he's dealing with this week. I'm sure its unexpected and not fun whatever it is. Thanks for showing up from a hotel room to get us your WR thoughts!

Love the Matt Harmon WR position preview, Matt waits all year for this show 👍🙂 and so do I.

I’d take Amon-Ra over JJ every time considering the Vikings QB situation. When Sam Darnold averages like 12 TDs per year, JJ’s ceiling looks pretty bleak. Chase’s deal will not get done before the season, he’s under contract two more years. But there’s zero chance Chase holds out, he’s not going to forfeit his salary for the year. The Bengals are trying to win a Super Bowl and Chase will practice a week and then will play the entire season. There’s not a QB-WR tandem in the NFL with better chemistry than Burrow-Chase, they’ll be just fine.

"ARSB won't win you a week with 3 targets - that's in the range of outcomes...."

Had a 1 target game week 3 as a rookie. Had a 1 target game when he was put in the concussion protocol (but wasn't concussed) and only played 10 snaps v DAL Y2. No other games below 4 targets (and btw - the three 4 target games were also his rookie year.) 35 of the last 41 games he has had at least 8 targets.

3 targets is the range of outcomes in the same way New Madrid, MO, might see another 8.2 earthquake because, yes, it literally has happened before - albeit 213 years ago.

Thanks boys, GOD BLESS you Matt prayers for your you and your family

Well the offense was very simplistic at LSU with Daniels there, it was one read then run, maybe he looked to his second read… I’m still like warm on Jayden

[tywildes]

How often have we seen a player hold out and then either get hurt or under preform?

[brianandrepont]

Can you guys tell me why Taysom Hill is a Qb on yahoo? He's signed a contract as a TE. Sleeper.

[BASykes]

Maybe I'm dumb but I traded CeeDee Lamb for Rome, JSN, Najee, a 25 1st and a 26 1st in my 1QB Dynasty league. I took Caleb Williams with my first pick in the rookie draft in the spring (1.09) and made a few other trades that resulted in DJ Moore landing on my Roster. Bears to the moon this year! 🐻🚀🌛

[lawai]

Bro, get your mind right cause St. Brown is nice and is continuing to get better. ✌🏾

[brianasingleton]

I don’t think WSH staff is sold on Dotson. I think he’s still battling between Brown and Bryant

[ravm]

Texas ..no running game? They got Mixon

[charlesbarr]

Ill be interested in your Jahan Dotson right now with the trade

[brandonanderson]

St Brown is so freaking consistent. But as a lions fan, I am hoping for a Jamo step forward so ..

[elliotowen]

Might want to to rethink that Dotson stance

[brianford]

i'm a dynasty bro but i am w/you on ARSB - reasonably plausible e have seen his fantasy ceiling - i even have garrett wilson and AJB above him in dynasty

[Thoughtpologetics]

Wilson throws to those tall guys in the end zone… why did he compare Pickens to Juedy? If anything the catches and yards will be there, but Sutton had 10 TDs… so we can look at TD up side but a step back from that 1500 yard pace…

[Thoughtpologetics]

Nabers will not be good, all logic says stay away
