A 17 game season, a new wide receiver in Baltimore, and a post-free agency mock draft. Right now on Fantasy Football Today in 5. That's a lot to cover in five minutes. But Jamie Eisenberg is up for it. I'm Adam Azer with Jamie. Welcome to the show. This is Fantasy Football Today in 5. Follow us and stream us on Spotify. So Jamie, the NFL, expected to expand to 17 games this season. When are you going to start your fantasy postseason?

0:23.9

I think you start the same, you know, time frame in terms of, you know, three weeks out.

0:29.3

So this time it will be 15, 16, 17, assuming it's 18 weeks as we anticipate.

0:36.0

But, you know, we have to see how they do with the biweeks. You know, is it going to be one bi week or two bi weeks, you know, we have to see how they do with the buy weeks.

0:38.5

You know, is there going to be one by week or two by weeks, you know, and so that'll be sort

0:42.5

of the determining factor because we haven't seen that yet unless I'm missing something.

0:46.1

Baltimore signed Sammy Watkins to a one-year, $6 million deal.

0:50.5

They threw about 400 times, a little more than 400 times last year.

0:53.9

They don't throw much.

0:55.9

What impact does this have on Lamar Jackson,

0:58.8

Marquis Brown, Mark Andrews?

1:00.5

It obviously helps Lamar Jackson.

1:02.1

Look, if Sammy Watkins is able to stay healthy

1:03.7

for the majority of the season,

1:04.7

that's clearly the second best receiver

1:06.1

that he's ever had in his tenure

1:09.0

as a starting quarterback.

1:10.1

So that'll help. He's an upgrade over the Miles

1:13.5

Boykins and Devin Duvarnay and all those guys, Des Bryant, you know, whatever they had last season,

1:19.9

Willie Sneed. So, you know, that's the biggest thing I think is that it helps Lamar Jackson.

1:24.6

But I don't think it changes very much. I don't think this is a huge detractor for what Marquise Brown's upside could be, what Mark Andrews can give you. I don't think Sammy Watkins is somebody that is a must-draft guy by any stretch because, like you said, the volume, because of the injury concerns. One thing I did see, and I forget who tweeted this, so I apologize, but somebody said that Sammy Watkins is one of the best receivers at adjusting to quarterbacks on the move.

1:53.5

I don't know where that metric was from.
