| 0:00.0 | Let's talk some bust-proof players next on Fantasy Football today in 5. |
| 0:10.7 | Welcome to FFT in 5. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Dan Schneier, and we're going to talk about some players who, look, nobody has zero risk. |
| 0:18.3 | All right, we can't perfectly predict the future. Every player has some range |
| 0:23.2 | of outcomes, even your number one overall pick has a chance to bust. But what we're talking about |
| 0:28.3 | today is trying to target three or four players who, at the very least, there are very few |
| 0:35.3 | ways for them to go wrong. You know, that's one thing that I think is |
| 0:38.6 | really important in fantasy football is having discussions about the range of possible outcomes |
| 0:43.5 | for players because, you know, it's really easy to just focus on the upside or just focus on the |
| 0:48.8 | downside for players. But a good example of, you know, the range of outcomes thing would be like a player like |
| 0:55.4 | Josh Jacobs last year. |
| 0:57.4 | You know, he was someone a lot of people were out on, didn't think he had a lot of |
| 1:01.0 | upside. |
| 1:01.5 | Turns out he ends up being the RB3. |
| 1:03.3 | So keeping those ranges of outcomes in mind is important. |
| 1:06.5 | But today, we're going to try to focus on players who have a really safe floor and a guy that |
| 1:10.8 | I really like for both upside and safety in like the second round range of drafts is Amonra St. |
| 1:17.6 | Brown for Detroit. |
| 1:19.2 | He's just what we've seen from him basically since he became a full-time player for Detroit is just a massive volume of targets. |
| 1:27.1 | And a lot of people will point to, well, he has not a lot of opportunity or a lot of competition for targets, right? And this year, you know, once Jameson Williams is back from his suspension, maybe he can emerge as the number one. I don't buy it. I think I'm on R. St. Brown, the way this offense runs, Jared Gough, being a safe |
| 1:44.1 | quarterback who doesn't like to push the ball down the field, that's going to lead to a lot of |
| 1:47.9 | targets for Amonar St. Brown, who's just open constantly. It's like Keenan Allen. I think that's the |
| 1:53.1 | comp for Monarche, St. Brown. And Keen Allen has been not necessarily like a high upside wide |
