Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

0:07.0

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

0:13.0

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

0:17.0

a guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change me a little.

0:24.0

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Welcome to Fantasy Football today podcast. I'm Jamie Eisenberg that's Dave Richard that's he's coming no Adam Azer one more time.

1:02.0

He's enjoying his vacation but we got you covered with a fun show free today. We're going to be talking about some bounce back candidates guys hoping to rebound after down season in 2021.

1:10.0

Looking like they should be much better, hopefully better situations in 2022. So guys hope we had a good weekend. Let's get right to it.

1:17.0

So let's tell me tell me your favorite bounce back candidate of the guys that we're going to be talking about today. We're going to go by position quarterback running back wide receiver.

1:24.0

So Dave, tell me your favorite bounce back candidate for 2022.

1:29.0

I think my favorite bounce back candidate is the player who I tease was going to be a bust for me and it's Alan Robinson going from Chicago where he had to deal with suspect quarterback play last year to L.A.

1:42.0

Where he's going to be on what should be a pass friendly team with a good quarterback and especially one that will attack down field.

1:49.0

I went back and I watched a lot of Alan Robinson last year just to see what type of a receiver he was and there were a bunch of plays I saw where it didn't look like he was giving full effort.

1:57.0

I wonder if that's part of the reason why he had a falling out with the coaches. I wonder if he didn't give that effort and I might be wrong in this.

2:03.0

Maybe he was giving an effort and he called BS on me for saying such a thing, but it just didn't look like he was playing at full speed because there were also times in Chicago where he did look like he was playing at full speed and that's the Alan Robinson that I want to see.

2:16.0

And I think that's what he'll get in L.A. He'll be properly motivated. He's in a great spot playing opposite Cooper cup.

2:22.0

Good perimeter receiver with size.

2:24.0

Great in the red zone. He can still make those jump ball catches. It wouldn't surprise me if he had neighbor in the neighborhood of eight touchdowns.

2:33.0

And I think he could be in line for over 120 targets as well.

2:36.0

If you took the number two target getter at wide receiver for the Rams in every game last year, whether it was Woods, Van Jefferson or Odell.

2:45.0

And Ola was 127 targets over 17 games. If we just shove all that into Alan Robinson, I think he's got a chance to bounce back to 80 catches close to a thousand yards and you already know the touchdowns.

2:58.0

And the touchdowns will be the second most of his career in a season. He did have a 14 touchdown year in 2015 as we know. And we've seen Alan Robinson bounce back a few times already as career. He came back from the ACL after leaving Jackson, we're going to Chicago 2017, 2018. So he bounced back in that season had a down season even in 2018.
