| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. |
| 0:16.7 | I'm your host, Justin Boone. |
| 0:18.2 | We're back with another episode in our position preview series. |
| 0:21.6 | If you miss last week's shows, we went over quarterbacks with JJ Zacharisen. |
| 0:25.7 | We talked running backs with Scott Barrett. |
| 0:27.9 | And today we're going over the incredibly deep wide receiver group with Rich Rebar, |
| 0:32.6 | a sharp football analysis, nothing but the best for our listeners. |
| 0:36.3 | Rich is one of the top analysts in the industry. And he's another person who I can't believe I've waited this long to have him on, so I'm excited to talk ball with him. Before we bring him on, though, just a reminder that if you like what you're hearing, give us a rating, give us a review on whatever podcast platform you're using. And while you're there, check out some of the other awesome shows on the score podcast network like Expand the Zone or Puck Pursuit, just to name a |
| 0:58.5 | couple. There's a bunch, though. Give him a listen. All right. Let's welcome Rich on the show. |
| 1:03.3 | You can find all his work over at Sharp Football Analysis with another extremely knowledgeable |
| 1:08.4 | football mind, Warren Sharp over there. You can hear Rich on the pre-snap motion podcast, and a lot of you are probably already following him on Twitter at Lord Reebs. Rich, welcome to the show, man. Thanks for coming on. Justin, how are you? I'm glad we can finally make this kind of go down. We have been trying to, you know, come together for me to come on the podcast for a little bit and just haven't been able to sync up, uh, getting me on at the same time or worked out schedule-wise, but here we are. And, you know, like you said, I mean, if we're going to talk wide receivers, might as well talk about one of the positions that just literally, literally has just tons of a plethora of talent and is one of the deepest positions in fantasy the season. |
| 1:46.3 | Absolutely. |
| 1:47.1 | And as far as you... literally has just tons of plethora of talent and is one of the deepest positions in fantasy |
| 1:45.2 | this season. |
| 1:46.4 | Absolutely. |
| 1:47.1 | And as far as you, you know, taking a while to get you on here, you'll be happy to know. |
| 1:51.1 | Your name has come up about a billion times on the show already, including in last |
| 1:55.4 | week's episode with JJ, the very last episode, because you can't go over fantasy quarterbacks |
| 1:59.7 | without bringing up your baby the Konami code right so |
| 2:02.2 | I mean you do an outstanding job with your research you know bringing context to situations coming at things from different angles |
| 2:09.1 | in season the worksheet just filled with info one of the must reads on my list every week so man I'm glad you're |
| 2:16.0 | here to help us run through the the wide receiver position but before we get to that, I want to start with a couple news items. And they're not receiver related. Not necessarily. Maybe the second one we could sort of get into the receiver category. But the first one, Lamar Miller getting signed by the Patriots. Now, his name's come up before in the show. It might have been during our running back preview last week. And I said then, I thought that Miller looked pretty slow in his workout videos that he shared on social media. And I know we can't put too much stock in those one way or the other. But it's kind of funny because I always feel like when those come out, they're handpicking the best clips. So the guy is going to look even better than he probably will when he gets to the team. But Miller to me looked more like current Frank Gore. And that's not a good thing, right? You don't want to look like Frank Gore in 2020. It might not be that surprising, though, right? He's 29 coming off the torn ACL, coming off the torn MCL. Who knows that the online clips, though? I mean, I'm not going to put too much stock in it. What we really need to figure out is this backfield, what it's going to mean moving forward, because you got Sony Michelle trying to come back from the foot surgery that he had in May. He's a candidate to maybe start on the Pup list even at the beginning |
