| 0:00.0 | We're talking sleepers. |
| 0:05.3 | Post-N-FELDraft fantasy football sleepers right now on FFTN-5. |
| 0:14.3 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:16.0 | Oh, Dave is doing a little sleepy motion. |
| 0:18.8 | It was, it was, you know, the sign that someone's about to be put to sleep. The GTS coming your way. You better be nice to me, Adam, otherwise you're getting a need of the face. Okay. I don't know what a GTS is. I assume this is wrestling. Not my thing. My favorite sleeper from Dave's list was probably Christian Watson. This guy has massive potential. You said it. The stats haven't really been there yet, although in the second half of his rookie season when he had Aaron Rogers, he was a top 10 wide receiver. He was terrific. And that was with leaving a game early with an injury and playing one game, completely injured as a decoy. So I know what Christian Watson is capable of if he's healthy and on the field. |
| 0:55.1 | And no, I think generally people are just going to go, well, he can't stay healthy. I'm not drafting him. |
| 0:58.7 | He went in round nine, Dave. I love Christian Watson. Awesome value, awesome opportunity to take a chance |
| 1:03.9 | on somebody who we were drafting with like a top 60 or top 70 pick last year, hoping that he would |
| 1:09.4 | stay healthy and basically become the number one go-to |
| 1:12.2 | receiver for the Green Bay Packers. My favorite stat about him, this doesn't mean he's going to be |
| 1:16.4 | great, but in 2022, he had a touchdown every 5.9 catches. In 2023, he had to touch on every 5.6 |
| 1:23.1 | catches. These are high rates. And if we're expecting him to continue being on that type of pace and he stays healthy, well, he's going to catch the ball more. So he should get a few more touchdowns than what we expect for an average wide receiver that's taken in that range in round nine. He's not the best in the world, but he can be the best in Green Bay if things break right for him. Absolutely worth taking the chance on. Yeah, and actually last year, he was a top 48 pick. I'm looking at a draft we did. Some idiot took him with the fourth pick of round four. Me, that was me. Okay, more. Sorry, he was healthy back then. We were optimistic. Yeah, there are a lot of ways. I mean, you have a big list of |
| 2:02.5 | sleepers here, but I'm going to ask you about, I'm going to ask you about Jameson Williams. |
| 2:06.6 | He was the first pick of round 10 in the draft that we did last week. And we haven't really seen much, |
| 2:12.0 | but he's certainly got an opportunity. Hasn't been elite of a of a stat producer yet in the NFL, |
| 2:17.4 | but he's got that potential. |
| 2:19.0 | He was a first round pick for a reason. |
| 2:21.5 | And the Lions seem optimistic that he can contribute more to their offense. |
| 2:25.8 | Josh Reynolds has gone for whatever that's worth. |
| 2:28.1 | That can open up more of a role for James and the one thing that we've seen, |
| 2:32.7 | and I didn't mention this on our show, Adam, |
| 2:34.7 | our main show, but we've seen this lion's offense quickly gravitate to its playmakers once |
