00:00And Travis ATN, Kyron Williams, Josh Jacobs, Joe Mix, and that's kind of who we're talking
00:11about here in this next grouping and Kyron was a guy last year that everybody fell in
00:15love with.
00:16He won people championships.
00:17He was off the waiver wire.
00:18And I mean, it's amazing to think about the Rams gave us not one, but two top five overall
00:24players at their position off the waiver wire and Pukanukuwa and then Kyron Williams.
00:28That does not happen every year.
00:29Kyron Williams dealing with some foot issues.
00:31Josh Jacobs, another one of these guys, new face, new place.
00:36You never know.
00:37He's had a lot of workload.
00:39He's given so much workload in Vegas that now you're kind of wondering LaFleur really
00:44is a more to spread things around.
00:46Is that going to hurt his value?
00:47Joe Mixon, a guy who's had some up and down seasons and some seasons where he's done a
00:51lot of damage in a few games.
00:53He's in a new spot as well.
00:55It's a lot of questions around these guys, George, that are remaining in this tier.
00:59And this is why I'm going to so many big time wide receiver bills.
01:03Travis ATN, I think might be the safest of this group.
01:06You kind of know who he is, know his identity in the offense.
01:09Hank Bixby, I don't think is a threat to him.
01:10Travis ATN, a thousand rushing yards last year, Kyron Williams, Travis ATN, Josh Jacobs
01:16and Joe Mixon.
01:17Of those four guys, who's the George Kurtz guy?
01:22I don't know if I'd say any of the George Kurtz guy.
01:24They all have warts, like you said here.
01:26I do like Kyron Williams, but you know, Corum's there.
01:29Williams gets hurt or seems to get hurt.
01:31So that's going to be an issue.
01:33Travis ATN, is the passing game fixed?
01:36Is Trevor Lawrence fixed?
01:37Is he going to be Trevor Lawrence this year?
01:39How's that going to look?
01:40But he probably is the guy, by the way.
01:42I think I trust him because he's dynamic and he can break some plays.
01:44I kind of like that there.
01:46Joe Mixon, you're going to need touchdowns.
01:49All right, he'll get his volume.
01:51And once again, he'll never see a stack box.
01:53I think he'll cover twos all over the place, trying to keep Dell, Collins, Diggs.
01:59No matter what you think of Diggs, still, he's a name, he's a threat there.
02:02So they're going to back off.
02:04So he'll never see a seven-man box.
02:05There should be touchdowns galore, but you'll need that.
02:08If Mixon's not getting touchdowns, I don't see him racking up a yardage or the catch
02:11enough to really pay off for you.
02:13So there's a risk there.
02:14But I don't mind Mixon.
02:15In some ways, Joe, he's the safe play because I think he'll get eight touchdowns just by
02:20breathing.
02:21All right?
02:22I don't mind him being there.
02:23I think he gets eight.
02:24All right?
02:25Because once again, the offense is going to be so good.
02:26There should be a team that averages, what, 27 points a game, three touchdowns a game?
02:29It doesn't seem like a lot for me to ask over Mixon to get, you know, 10, 12 this season.
02:35I said eight just by falling down, he gets eight.
02:38I think in half PPR, you make a lot of sense there.
02:40Or the standard leagues, even though you say they don't exist, I know they do because I
02:43get questions about them.
02:44I don't know why people are still playing in any non-PPR formats, but Mixon may be in
02:49that format a little bit more valuable.
02:50I agree.
02:51They were certainly high powered last year, although they do have expectations this year,
02:54which I think is always more difficult to play with expectations as opposed to the,
02:58oh, you're so adorable.
02:59The Houston Texans.
03:00Everyone thought you're going to win three games and look at you.
03:02You're in the playoffs.
03:03How adorable.
03:04And now look at you.
03:05Now you have to play with expectations.
03:06It's one of the big questions we had about the Lions last few years.
03:09They went from plucky underdog to team that's playing with expectations.
03:13And to their credit, they did not fold the tents.
03:15I don't know that yet about the Texans.
03:17So that's going to be interesting to see.
