Coming at you with another bonus podcast on the best sports day of the year.

0:05.0

I am into it. I am enjoying March Madness. It is Friday afternoon already some great games,

0:10.0

but that's not why we're here, although we thank everybody who joined our FFT bracket challenge.

0:15.0

We're here to talk about Judas Miss Schuster back with the Steelers on a one-year deal.

0:20.0

Adam Azar, Dave Richard, Chris Towers. Dave, we'll start with you. How are you ranking these Steelers-wide receivers this year?

0:28.0

I'm pretty sure Judas Miss Schuster will be third in the bunch. I think I'm ranking him third because he's the least exciting of the three,

0:37.0

but he does have a good role in Pittsburgh. Given the strengths and weaknesses of Ben Rothlesburgers game at this point,

0:43.0

I think it's probably one of the best destinations we could have asked for for Judas for him to be a usable fantasy starter.

0:51.0

The targets will be there. He's a short area worker. He's a slot guy, not a downfield threat, not an explosive playmaker,

0:58.0

but as long as he's in a position to get a lot of targets weekend and week out, he belongs on fantasy starting lineup.

1:05.0

He used to be third right now, but now he's playing the game ahead of Chase Claypool. It could be opposite.

1:11.0

Chase could be first. I'm excited about him, but those guys are my first two, but every single stat that I look at points to Judas being nothing more than a volume dependent

1:20.0

fantasy watch receiver. But didn't he used to be an explosive playmaker? I mean, he last year,

1:25.0

kind of rewrote the narrative on him and, you know, he used to make some big plays.

1:30.0

He would make big plays occasionally, which you could look at any receiver in the league, not name Larry Fitzgerald and AJ Green.

1:38.0

And last year they made a couple of big plays.

1:41.0

Yeah, I mean, the biggest thing is the routes.

1:47.0

Yeah, I mean, just the way they used him last year and the way Ben Rothisberger played.

1:52.0

If like all the ante Johnson is, is a high volume fantasy receiver.

1:59.0

If the ante Johnson doesn't get, you know, 130 targets, he's probably not going to be particularly useful.

2:06.0

And that's just that's more about the fact that at this point in his career, at least based on last season, Ben Rothisberger really doesn't want to push the ball

2:16.0

really in the intermediate range. I think his rate of passes 20 plus yards downfield was actually relatively high, but it was more like all or nothing.
