00:00Let's talk wide receivers now.
00:04Hey, Mike Evans, man, we have talked about Mike Evans leading up to the start of the
00:09season first week and here he is at 8,300.
00:13Right behind him is Rushie Rice, but a drop off of $1,000, 7,300.
00:19Then there's Malik Neighbors, who you had mentioned played against a softer secondary
00:23as you will.
00:24So maybe there's some recency bias there last week, 7,100 on Neighbors.
00:28Notice Godwin, 6,600, a pivot away from the top.
00:31And then there's Jawan Jennings at 5,200, where opportunity is abound.
00:36Joe, what do you like?
00:39Look, Evans is always intriguing, but I think the interesting pivot is down to 6,600 for
00:44Godwin.
00:45Same team, same offense.
00:47Maybe a better corner matchup too.
00:48Godwin out of that slot has been terrific, if you look at what he's done so far this
00:52year.
00:53And in back-to-back games, he has been a target hog.
00:57That's what you're looking for.
00:59He had eight targets, two weeks in a row, caught seven in week one, eight in week two.
01:05Has a touchdown in both games as well.
01:07So he's been a tremendous return on investment.
01:09Can he go three weeks in a row?
01:11I think he can.
01:12And I think that move back to the slot has been exactly what the doctor ordered.
01:14So it's a really good move here by the coaching staff.
01:17Baker Mayfield's played fantastic.
01:18Jawan Jennings at 5,200, he's going to be highly rostered, but I don't think it's wrong.
01:22If you're looking for another guy who is even cheaper on FanDuel and on DraftKings,
01:27is Jordan Whittington, who is a big Splash Playmaker guy.
01:31You saw flashes of it in the preseason, and a lot of us were going, oh, look, did the
01:34Rams find another one of these Pukunukuit type guys out of nowhere that nobody, you
01:39know.
01:40If one organization is really good at identifying that type of underappreciated, undervalued,
01:45splashy player, it's the Rams at that position of wide receiver.
01:50So Demarcus Robinson, sure.
01:52Tyler Johnson, we'll see.
01:54But I think it comes down to a guy like Whittington, who is really cheap, and if he has that one
01:58big play or one big touchdown catch, could return investment.
02:02Rushdie Rice for 7,300.
02:04I think that's going to be a bit of a dogfight.
02:05I think you saw the awakening of the Atlanta Falcons offense this Monday night.
02:10They started to put things together.
02:12Everything's going to be just fine.
02:13It just took a little while.
02:15That first game, you had to shake the dust off.
02:16And look, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a good defensive team, and they always will be a
02:19good defensive team.
02:20And then Malik Neighbors, who I don't think is going to get 75 targets like he did last
02:24week, but I think he's going to get enough in this game where, once again, the volume
02:29is king, right?
02:30So Rice, Neighbors, Godwin, I think that's a really good place to live.
02:34And if you're looking for some cheap offset guys, Juwan Jennings, Jordan Whittington,
02:37I think are two guys that you want to circle as well.
