00:00And I want to look at the AP Player of the Year movement in the last couple of weeks
00:07because we know Saquon's had some huge weeks, he's on a bye this week, so he can't really
00:11help us in fantasy.
00:12But he is still at the top of the board when it comes to Player of the Year on the offensive
00:17side.
00:18Saquon at plus 430, Derrick Henry after a huge performance goes to plus 470.
00:22So he just jumps into the conversation, which I think is great.
00:26I'm here for it.
00:27I'd love to see it happen.
00:28And there's a guy at plus 600 that I want to talk about because we did the deep dive
00:32on Sam Darnold, and Justin Jefferson's right there.
00:35And Tyreek Hill is nowhere to be found.
00:38And you know, the Garrett Wilsons and some of the other guys that we had high hopes for
00:42really haven't, you know, come to fruition.
00:44So there it is, once again, ho-hum, Justin Jefferson just continuing to fall out and
00:49be spectacular.
00:51And I feel like there's a narrative growing here, George, where Sam Darnold playing quarterback,
00:55somehow Justin Jefferson's greatness is helping to carry mediocre Sam Darnold up the hill.
01:03And that narrative means something.
01:05These are media awards.
01:07And I think the Jefferson narrative is one that's going to really win out.
01:10Running backs are always tough because as the season goes on, there is some wear and
01:14tear.
01:15There's always a higher injury risk.
01:16I look at this plus 600 and I see a great opportunity to still get a fantastic return
01:21on investment in Justin Jefferson for this award.
01:24The Tyreek Hills, the CD Lambs, I mean, Nico Collins isn't in this conversation yet.
01:30Maybe he should be.
01:31Maybe after a couple more weeks, people will start to come around on that.
01:34But I got to tell you, right now, it seems like Justin Jefferson is maybe a favorite
01:40in number three clothing.
01:42And I think he is the guy people should be betting on right now.
01:45But how do you see it?
01:46Oh, I think you're on the right track here.
01:50Running backs, it's also hard there.
01:53Donnelly is a sexy name because of the trade here, because of what he's done to Philadelphia.
01:58So I think he'll pick up again as well, but they also get hurt more than other positions
02:02here.
02:03Jefferson, such a good wide receiver.
02:05I'm trying to find somebody else here we can talk about.
02:07I mean, Marvin Harris is more for the rookie of the year, but that's going to be tough
02:10over the quarterbacks.
02:11There's not anybody else here that really truly stands out here.
02:16I'm looking at a list here that I would say could compete for this.
02:20Jefferson, the whole story is beautiful, right?
02:22You already mentioned Donnelly.
02:23All right.
02:24He's come out of, I don't want to say out of nowhere, but we didn't expect this.
02:26No one ever, oh, Detroit Lions, they're going to a Super Bowl, right?
02:30They stole Mike, by the way.
02:31Green Bay, how well they played in destroying Dallas last year.
02:34Hell, maybe they should have gone to the Super Bowl last year.
02:37You know?
02:38And then Minnesota was an afterthought, right?
02:39Because even Chicago, Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, you know, they're up and coming.
02:42They're going to be good.
02:43You know?
02:44And once J.J. McCarthy got hurt, oh, well, no one cared about Minnesota.
02:46Really no one cared.
02:47Right?
02:48In reality.
02:49We don't, it's done.
02:51You know, they'll finish third or fourth in the division.
02:52So it's a beautiful story when you think about it.
02:55The whole thing.
02:56That being said, you know, they're going to lay an egg in this game now that we keep doing
02:58this.
02:59So I'm with you on John Jefferson.
03:00I think it's a great story, but he said that with all due respect, I'm no Garrett Wilson.
03:04Gets a chance to prove that today.
03:06So he is the best receiver in football.
03:08We know that.
03:09It doesn't matter who's, if anyone's making more money than him, that never matters here.
03:12He is the best receiver in football.
03:14So I think you're onto something here.
03:15Now, I'll give one caveat again.
03:19I mentioned early on the show, Sam Donald, last time we saw this, not to this degree,
03:23but he played well with Carolina for the first four or five games, and then it all went away.
03:28So I do want to see a bit of it more to make sure he's going to have this throughout the
03:30season here.
03:32But unlike with Carolina, he's got much better talent here.
03:35All right.
03:36He has moving on.
03:37Oh, sorry, Josh.
03:38Addison's back.
03:39Addison's are there, you know, they got Aaron Jones for the running game.
03:44So I think there's more here.
03:45I like JJ a whole bunch.
