Let's dive into Free Agency with Heath Cummings right now on Fantasy Football Today in 5.

0:08.1

We're going to talk about the best destinations for the best free agents and some news on Chris Godwin and David Njoku in that order.

0:16.2

First of all, Heath, welcome, and Chris Godwin apparently he's going to be, looks like he's going to be back with

0:21.0

the bucks. If they can't get a long-term deal, then they'll franchise tag him according to a report. So what do you think about Chris Godwin? Back with Tampa Bay. You don't let a wide receiver that good, that young walk away. I'm glad they're keeping him. Well, yeah, they're keeping him, but who's going to be throwing to them is the question on everyone's mind.

0:37.3

Right now,

0:37.8

I kind of have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers projected with a league average quarterback.

0:42.5

And in that scenario, he's a low-in number one for me.

0:47.2

But there's at least some risk that they go into the season with Kyle Trask because they're starting quarterback.

0:53.6

And Godwin and Evans is the top two wide receivers. And those guys disappoint. But right now, I'd say borderline number one wide receiver with Evans is a low end number two. So David Nogoku, I know there was someone else that you had mentioned before the show that was going to get franchise to. Mike Williams. Yeah, right. I knew that one. We covered that one on FFT on the full-length show on Monday, but let's talk about it again here. So I wanted to see them, you know, upgrade at number two receiver, but I'm just not a Mike Williams guy. I don't know. Maybe they still will, but what do you think about this's the, like, it's so tough to say I want to see them upgrade at wide receiver

1:31.4

when Mike Williams had for four years been as good, three years, been as good as he had been

1:38.0

on an opportunity basis. Fantastic yards per catch, fantastic yards per target. Anytime he got the ball, he did good things with it.

1:47.3

And then last year, they threw it to him 129 times in 16 games, and he posted the exact same 8.9

1:54.5

yards per target that he did in 2020. Mike Williams was an elite wide receiver last year, finished 16th on a per game basis.

2:01.7

And this just makes me feel better about Justin Herbert.

2:04.4

I don't know that there was a free agent option for them to go get to fit better next to Keenan Allen in this offense.

2:10.9

And so I love it.

2:12.6

I felt kind of foolish because I had Mike Williams, I think, really low in my original rankings, just because I wasn't sure where he's going to be or what the market would be.

2:22.2

If he's back on the Chargers with Kenan Allen, he's the top 24 wide receiver for me.

2:27.5

So you don't care about the fact that it was basically just the first, I want to say, five games of the season.

2:32.1

And then after that, he was really disappointing and consistently, I mean, week after week,

2:37.5

one of those frustrating players.

2:39.7

Yeah.
