Welcome back, everybody, to the Football Guys Daily Update. You give us 10 minutes. We'll give you

everything you need to know to make you the most informed fantasy football player in your league.

I'm Mike Dempsey, as always along with football guys own Bob Harris, Bob, a lot of stuff coming

down yesterday. So let's jump into it. We get some clarity on the Rishi Rice situation. He accepts

a six game suspension. So we'll miss the first six games of the season. So we have clarity on

how much you'll miss when he'll miss. So now that that is settled, what is the earliest you would

advise fantasy managers to spend a pick on Rice and a 12 team PPR? So there's two factors here. And by the way, it sounds like the NFL was still aiming for the double-digit games. And this is why he made the easy agreement, I guess, for the six. Two factors. How deep is your bench and how you've constructed your roster? Like I've had him at wide receiver 45 and I'm kind of questioning that. Once you see

him as a wide receiver four level play, why not rank him at 37? Jason Wood, who leads the

projection team of football guys, has him as wide receiver 15 on a points per game basis.

If you've started your draft with a pair of strong receivers or even three strong receivers,

you have some solid running backs or running back in a tight end and you have room on your roster. Why not Rice at round seven or eight or even six if you have the room ahead of say Debo Samuel, maybe Stefan Diggs, Ricky Pierce all going in that range. You know you'd have a pretty solid player once he's back. I don't think health is an issue. So I think that's kind of going to decide it for people, though. What kind of room you have on your roster? Because you're going to take those six weeks of having zeros and not everyone will have the room to do that. Right. And not every IR allows you to put a suspended player on there. Many don't as a matter of fact. So you've got to check that if you're planning on drafting and stashing there, Bob. Which Kansas City pass catchers get the biggest jump in the first six week of the season, or the biggest bump, I should say. I will do my best captain, obvious to say you have to go with Xavier Worthy, right? He had the production spike from week 13 on last season, 157 yards and two touchdowns in the Super Bowl.

Andy Reed has described him as a primary receiver and over the offseason.

And like his play seemed to prove that out.

So Patrick Mahomes has talked about going with the deep balls.

Andy Reid talked about going with the deep balls.

So worthy, it is 421 speed.

Seems like somebody who's going to be

very busy. And beyond that, I mean, they did keep a lot of receivers. You got worthy, Hollywood Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster, Tyquant Thornton, and there's been some great reports on him on Thornton over the course of camp. The great Nico Ramesio, a more return guy, And so Jason Brownlee and rookie Jalen Royals.

Like, I don't know, Hollywood Brown is like maybe a guy throw a flyer at otherwise. a more return guy. And so Jason Brownlee and rookie Jalen Royals.

Like I don't know, Hollywood Brown is like maybe a guy throw a flyer at.

Otherwise, I think you're kind of playing the waiver wire or taking your chances if you're investing draft capital. Yeah, I think Kelsey might get some more targets early in the season as well, you know, as far as that goes. I do like what Tyco on Thornton did in the preseason,

but I feel like his skill set
