You've been waiting for it happening now on FFT and 5.

Hope everybody's doing well.

Thank you for giving us five minutes of your time.

Dave, Richard Heath Cummings.

Sleepers Breakouts Bus.

0:15.9

Let's start with the bus in the NFC North Heath.

0:18.8

Give me a bus pick in the NFC North that you're going to ride with in

0:22.3

2024. I'll go with Aaron Jones, an old running back changing teams on a on a pass heavy

0:28.6

offense. I think there's lots of different ways that Aaron Jones could bust, including just

0:34.0

starting with the hamstring issue that's been an issue for the past couple of years being an injury issue again.

0:38.7

What about a young running back changing teams? And that's D'Andre Swift.

And it's another guy who's had problems with those hamstrings. It's Christian Watson. I do believe if he could

1:17.0

stay healthy for 17 games, he will be the best wide receiver on the Packers. We've seen the immense

1:23.7

upside that he has in terms of big playability, could be amongst the league leaders in terms

1:29.2

of yards per target, and certainly the pervered red zone target when he's healthy. Watson,

1:35.9

if he stays healthy, he could have a huge year. I like how Jaden Reed finished last season,

1:41.6

17.4 PPR points per game in his last eight. There were a lot of touchdowns

1:46.1

in there. There were some games where he didn't have a lot of targets. He's utilized differently
