| 0:00.0 | There are a lot of players that are tough to rank before training camp. |
| 0:03.4 | We'll talk about some of the toughest right now on Fantasy Football Today Express. |
| 0:12.3 | And welcome in everybody, Adam Azer and Jamie Eisenberg here. |
| 0:15.7 | All right. |
| 0:16.0 | So I'm just going to start with Rishie Rice and Jordan Addison. |
| 0:19.4 | I think the conversation could begin there, two guys that could be facing suspension, |
| 0:23.2 | and how are you ranking them as of now? |
| 0:26.7 | Rice, with the anticipation of three plus games, is a high-end wide receiver three. |
| 0:32.6 | The earliest I would consider him is round five. |
| 0:34.9 | I would prefer round six, but it's one of those you just kind of play the board. So he's behind guys like Travis Hunter, Jerry Judy, Jameson Williams. I kind of have him almost back to back with Chris Godwin at this point, just with the idea of when's Godwin going to be back and how healthy will he be. Addison was always a tricky player for me to begin with because while I do like the fact that he's entering his third year, I do like the fact that he's in a very prolific passing offense, and I do believe in J.J. McCarthy, with T.J. Hawkinson back and obviously Justin Jefferson, there's some concern that if the touchdowns aren't there for Addison, the production will not be great. So he was already a wide receiver three for me. |
| 1:11.5 | Now he's a borderline wide receiver four, again, expecting a three plus game suspension. |
| 1:15.3 | But round seven is about the spot I would start to consider Addison. |
| 1:19.3 | It's interesting. And then with Godwin, so we find out yesterday he also had an ankle procedure, |
| 1:25.7 | a cleanup procedure. There's definitely some doubt |
| 1:28.7 | that he's going to be ready for the start of the season. And his A availability and B production |
| 1:36.4 | has such an impact on other players on the Bucks. So how are you ranking the Bucks wide receivers |
| 1:43.2 | right now? And whether or not it affects Baker Mayfield, I don't know. |
| 1:46.3 | You can touch on that too. |
| 1:47.8 | Doesn't impact Baker Mayfield. |
| 1:49.3 | He's still QB7. |
| 1:50.5 | Has an impact Mike Evans, who's still wide receiver, 21, for me, still concerned with the age |
| 1:56.3 | and the addition of Emeka Abuka plus Godwin back because he's going to play at some point. |
