What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Racklevin. It is Friday, August 5th, and yes.

The rant is back. I'm not going to get into what caused the hiatus because you know what?

I don't care. Anyway, the most important thing is this freaking podcast is finally back and it is fantasy football draft season and we have a lot of catching up to do. So we're going to do a little crash course on every team to get you all set up for your fantasy football drafts this month, obviously, that's 32 teams. So we're not going to spend an entire episode on any one team. We're going to roll through all of this. Also, I have to note that while I am

keeping the rant alive, I will also have a second podcast this year, the FTN fantasy football podcast. So make sure you subscribe to that as well, but we'll sort of be split in our time between these two podcast feeds, but you know, you know what you're going to get from me, you're going to get fart jokes fantasy football information, that sort of thing.

All right, the other thing too, if you want all of my content, the premium version of my content, then head over to FTN fantasy.com, you will get award winning rankings, projections, and so much more, the draft guides, the rookie fantasy scouting guide, the game plan draft guide, all behind the paywall, if you want the platinum experience, where you'll get additional things, we have a platinum subscription. So you'll get league sync.

You will get access to the discord chat where you can talk directly to me and other folks on staff and all the advanced stats. We have that for you.

We also, and I recommend the platinum, but if you want DFS included and betting included as well, we have an all access and NFL all access package.

That would get you access to FTN daily.com, FTN bets.com as well, all of that, any of these subscriptions and FTN fantasy.com promo code rat pack will get you 20% off.

All right, so let's dive into it. We are going to go, I'll go out the medical by city or well, in some cases is not a city like Carolina, but whatever, you know what I mean, the city of the team.

So we'll start with the one that isn't a city, Arizona, and of course, the Arizona cardinals heading into this year after last year's colossal disappointment down the stretch, they, they basically folded up, folded down the stretch, but what we did see and what we have seen in each of the last two years is stretches of elite fantasy production out of Kyler Murray.

We know he has that capability. In fact, I think it's fair to argue that he has one of the highest, if not the highest ceiling of any quarterback. And yes, I know what I just said.

Compared to Josh Allen. I mean, you know, Josh Allen is a fantastic running quarterback and we'll talk about it when we get to the bills, but Kyler is more dynamic there. Now if Kyler can put it all together from a passing standpoint, that's where he really delivers the goods.

Right now I am projecting him out ranking him at quarter back six right in that range, the obvious concern with Kyler Murray, in addition to not knowing the playbook or not knowing what his opponents are going to do not scouting his opponents.

If you don't know about the contract stuff, look it up is injury concern. Each of the last two years that elite production was basically ground to a halt after he gets hurt.

So hopefully we can, we can write the ship a little bit there, but from a weapons standpoint. Yes, Christian Kirk is out of the mix, but they brought in his boy, his old college buddy, Marquis Brown, who are I, I, I mean, he got caught speeding. Okay, it's not anywhere near as bad as Twitter made it seem to be.

And honestly, yeah, will you get a ticket? Sure.

Will he be, you know, maybe scolded by Cliff Kingsbury and told him to not do that again. Sure.

Is he going to be suspended by the NFL? No, highly, highly, highly unlikely, just given the circumstances there.

So he for figures, Marquis Brown figures to be the number one wide receiver for the first six games of the season because Deandre Hopkins is suspended for those first six games.

So this is a really prime spot for Marquis Brown. This is a great offense for Marquis Brown to be in because it, it is that up tempo, it is going to showcase his ability.

And honestly, if you look at Christian Kirk, Christian Kirk was wide receiver 26 last year in fantasy.

And a lot of that was, you know, the product of him being sort of that vertical threat in the offense, even though he was running out of the slot, he was really the downfield target.
