Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast. No longer just the Yahoo Fantasy Football

podcast. Look at that. New artwork, new name, special guest host. Before we get to that, though,

I'll remind you that I am Liz Loza. And yes, I am with a special guest. His name is Emery Hunt. He is the

founder of the Football Gameplan.com. He's a former

running back at the University of Louisiana. And he writes for The Athletic. Thank you for joining

us, Emery. I appreciate you having me on, Liz. Glad to be here. Absolutely. So we're going to do

a rookie rundown a little bit later in the show. But first up, it is not another day if we do not talk about COVID. So the opt-out deadline hit today. We are recording on Thursday. And from what we know right now, no huge blockbuster names were added to the list. But I wanted to talk about a few recent editions.

So I know we're not talking about the Saints, but you got to have some love for South Florida.

So let's discuss the dolphins opting out our wide receivers, Alan Hearns and Albert Wilson.

What are your thoughts on the opt out in general?

What do you think the team is going to do to compensate for the lack of these two receivers?

You know, with the opt-out, I completely understand, and I applaud those guys that have chosen to do that because it's hard.

You could think now as a 39-year-old, what I would do in that situation, but you

could also go back into your playing days and think, man, to give up a year of not playing,

I guess tough.

So I know those guys agonized with that choice and that decision.

So any decision they made, I applaud.

As far as the dolphins are concerned, that's why you have depth,

and that's why I am excited about what they have. You know, you have Preston Williams coming back,
