| 0:00.0 | Hello my good man. Welcome everyone. |
| 0:09.6 | It's time for On the Couch with Sickle Blue. A lot of crazy favorite things. |
| 0:15.8 | Looking at fantasy football from a deeper place. This is going to be a changing day in your life. |
| 0:24.8 | And now here's your host Sickle Blue. But I would not vote on my mother. |
| 0:30.9 | One of the earliest waking sleepers of the season will be that more this week. On the couch, |
| 0:39.0 | always joined by one of the OG couch casks. The couch was kind of invented for people like Matt Waldman, |
| 0:45.2 | Matt Waldman. Who's one of the sleepers that's going to wake up early in the season? |
| 0:49.7 | Let's start with Justin Ross. I think that's a pretty good one. |
| 0:53.8 | Travis Kelsey being a little bit banged up and maybe not playing this week or being limited at best. |
| 1:00.2 | I think that the thought is look at all the 12 and 13 personnel that the Chiefs use. |

| 1:25.2 | that we do not have at all on our wide receiver core and haven't had for some time. |
| 1:30.4 | I'm paraphrasing, but that's pretty much what he said. To me, I'm thinking that he's going to |
| 1:36.4 | eventually take over from Marcus Valde's scatling. And he's not as fast as scatling. |
| 1:43.1 | But I think he's more of a, I always compared him to Hakeem Nix with a dash of AJ Green. |
| 1:48.4 | And Hakeem Nix in his first year, average 16.8 yards per catch, |
| 1:52.7 | as like just an island guy who didn't have a ton of speed but could catch the ball and run |
| 1:58.4 | the good routes and win contested. And when you look at Marcus Valde's scatling, he's a 50% career |
| 2:03.4 | catch guy. And that works well when you have Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes is your quarterbacks. |
