| 0:45.8 | you all are getting ready for what's hopefully a fun weekend for you and draft week next week. But right |
| 0:50.1 | now we've got to talk about the Lions. We've got to talk about James and Williams what this means for |
| 0:53.6 | everybody on the team. The earliest he could return would be week seven. We'll see when that by-week falls, but right now week seven. And let's get Jamie's take. So, Jamie, first question for you, if you have a league with, let's say, five bench spots, do you think it makes sense still to draft and stash James and Williams? Yeah, I think if you feel comfortable with your team, I mean, obviously it's a, it's a tricky situation when you only have that few bench spots, but, you know, the talent is clearly there. It's a matter of we just haven't seen him play football, you know, since his, you know, final game in college for the most part. He had, you know, a couple of flash plays last year. But this, you know, puts a damper on the ceiling. It puts a damper on, you know, what the hype will be for, you know, a player who has the ability to be a superstar. But yeah, I think, you know, if you feel comfortable enough knowing that, you may have to cut them at some point, you know, depending on other injuries that may occur on your fantasy team. But six games in a 17-game season, you know, 16-game fantasy season, you should be able to manage with what hopefully the upside will be. But it puts a, you know, damper on Jared Gough as a late-round starter, you know, open the season and puts a, you know, higher expectation, hopefully, you know, from production standpoint on Mara St. Brown. And it makes Marvin Jones a little bit more relevant, you know, in deeper leagues if you want to take a flyer on him with late-round back. The second leading receiver on the team last year was Khalif Raymond. The second most targets on the team |
| 2:18.8 | belong to D'Andre Swift. So you talked about golf. Are you going to drop him in your rankings? |
| 2:25.3 | Yeah, of course. You know, I mean, when, you know, we were having this conversation a few weeks ago, |
| 2:30.1 | Goff versus Gino Smith, it's easy to go Gino Smith. You know, I think now Goff is in that group we talked about when we did the rankings disputes, |
| 2:37.9 | you know, Stafford, Carr, Garoppolo, you know, Jordan Love, Desmond Ritter, that group. |
| 2:45.3 | You know, I think for Heath was Sam Howell. |
| 2:48.2 | He's closer to that. |
