3:11at the best price. What's up? Welcome to Beyond the Box score. It is week one. We made it here. We've got real football in our lives, and I am psyched. We're talking about Titan today. Titan rankings for week one. This is my favorite position. Eli Raridan was my favorite prospect in this class, and he scored the first touchdown to the NFL season. You bet I am fired up. I'm going to throw my rankings up here on the screen and show you what I'm looking at here in week one. It's pretty much cut and dry at the top of the position of my opinion. There's a few key differences here with my rankings and expert consensus rankings according to fantasy pros. You'll find that over on the right side of the screen if you're watching on YouTube. I'll talk you through some of those names. Isaiah, likely, Sam LaPorta, CalPITS. Some key differences here with my rankings and the industry rankings apparently. But the big one that we get to talk about and I wanted to start with is Michael Mayor.

4:17So I'm going to tell you why I have mayor ranked as a viable starter. I've got a Titan 11 this week against the Miami Dolphins. Consensus rankings has in the Titan 16. Obviously Brock Bowers is set to maybe miss like the foreseeable future here. Hopefully won't be too long but doesn't sound great. So the Raiders have another Titan that they drafted pretty early, 35th overall pick, Michael Mayor, that's set to step in here. And so I'm going to start by showing you, look at this collegiate data for Michael Mayor. I just want to just quickly familiarize anybody who's not up to date on who Mayor was. He's been in the NFL for three years now just kind of wasting away on a Bismarriators team. But this was a great college prospect. He was drafted, like I said, almost in round one. If you just sort by career receiving yards looking at Titans who've been drafted around two or round one, dating back to 2017. It's Brock Bowers at the top, 2500 and Traming

5:23Bride with 2100 and Michael Mayor with 2,099 receiving yards. So ahead of Sameal Porta, Colson Loveland, Tyler Warren. And if you see over here, only 36 games for America compared to 56 games for Tyler Warren, 46 games for Sameal Porta. He has almost an identical number of yards as Traming Bride in four fewer games. He has 18 touchdowns across his career, Notre Dame, compared to 10 for McBride. Another thing I like about this profile, 33% slot rate. So not only an inline guy, showing a little bit of flexibility, avoiding tackles, 30 of what it tackles across his career. Notre Dame, 18% explosive reception rate at Notre Dame. If you sort of by per game, only Bowers is going to come in with more receiving yards per game. If you sort of by the percent of the offenses receiving yards accounted for, Mayor is actually first among Titan prospects, drafted

6:29round one, round two. In recent years, really rock solid prospect. Big dude, 64, 265 can play every snap, can play in line and block. And obviously showed receiving upside as well. If you look at his collegiate game log, he's got five games above 100 yards, multiple games above 80, 90 yards. In his career here in Notre Dame, Target total is of 13, 13, 11, 10, 12, 12. This is somebody who can legitimately win some routes and be a consistent target. And then if you look at the NFL game log, it is not given us much to this point. Like his career yard per round rate is 1.09, which is not very good. A little bit disappointing. If you look at the collegiate data, only Harold Fandin, Jr. Calpitz, and Kohlsen,

7:29Loveland come in with better first down per round rate. If you look at yards per round, Brock Bauer's is ahead of him. Tramble Bryant is right here in the same vicinity. Better than LaPorta, Warren, Dalton, Concade, other really good receiving prospects from recent years. That's where you find Michael Mayor. And so if you do look at games, we have an okay sample size, not a big one, but a little bit. Seven games here. Mayor has been a full-time player as a pro. I've got those highlighted if you're watching on YouTube. In those games, he's been a bit more efficient. He's shown some upside. He's shown like this gaming. It's the Giants last year. 10 targets, nine catches, 89 yards, 61 yards after the catch. He had another game last year and week six against the Titans. Five catches, 50 yards in a touchdown, 39 yards after the catch. I went back and watched these games. He had a 35% target share in the Giants

8:31game, 30% in the Titans game. I went back and watched these games and he looks really good. He's getting open and creating a little bit of extra yards after the catch on pretty much every catch. So we've seen some semblance of upside here. He's popped for 18, 16 PPR points in some of these games. The other thing I would point out that's crazy is in this seven game sample that he's actually gotten to play a little bit, the Raiders have averaged 11 points per game. They got shut out in two of these games. These have been terrible Raiders' offenses that he's been on that he's actually produced a little bit here. So what stands out to me is these two games with 30% target shares, where he's really giving an actual glimpse of pretty rare upside at Titan. That's why you get around to draft capitals. It's just not that many Titans who can command 10 targets in a game. And especially, I think, on this Raiders team, that might be what we're looking at here.

9:34They just, it's them or the dolphins, probably, are the least proven target hogs. In terms of the, you look at the White Hesifer room, there's like really nobody who's a clear target owner. Jack Besh was in college. Trey Tucker's flashed a little bit as a pro, but not really as a high target volume player. More as just the field stretcher. He's had a couple of games where he's gotten that target share up. It really not been Trey Tucker's game. Jalen Ailer not been a target earner really, like more of a vertical slot player who can add some real value overall as a real life player, but not really somebody that you're expecting to be consistently winning routes and presenting an open target over and over and over as a key part of the offense. Mayor actually could be there from the Titan position. And while I don't think he's just like, yeah, plug him in for Bowers, he's going to do all the Bowers stuff. I do think that they had a, they were already

10:39envisioning him being part of the offense. I, as my, my expectation here after watching the preseason. I think they were really wanting to get him going. And I think Clint Kubiak as a coach who really likes to use Titans, multiple Titans. We saw him and AJ Barner, AJ Barner be a really productive player for, for Kubiak last year in Seattle. Another big body to Titan who can do a little bit of a little bit of vertical seam stretching. And I think Mayor offers even a little bit more than that is a, is a better lateral mover and then Ratt Runner than Barner. So wanted to start with him because I think there's a real chance that he's not only a fine philanthropic starter, but a Titan that could actually give some receiving upside this week, which is why I haven't ranked in the same range as like Kyle Pits and Joanne Johnson and Isaiah likely and Dallas Goddard is because I think he could like those players get you six, seven, eight targets. It's not just like Titan that

11:43were plugging in here and hoping for a touchdown from. I think we might actually get a bit of a floor here if we get lucky where we could get even like just an average game from him. I could see him being like a 20, 25% target share player and that being enough to be decent for fantasy because if you look, the Raiders don't look too bad in terms of Vegas expectations this week. Their implied point total is 21.25 points against the Dolphins. I think this is one of the softest defenses in the league, particularly in the secondary. I think that Miami is going to be attackable. And as we saw like last year with the Giants, like there are matchups, the Titans where like it's so soft that even that Raiders offense could facilitate some reduction for mayor. And I mean, based off Vegas expectations and just were out with Kubiak and everything,

12:45I think that this will be an offense that can convert some first downs during the preseason, the first team offense looked all right. They had some drives. And I feel like especially with cousins in, Kirk cousins might be a little bit more prone to really kind of locking in on a consistent short area target like Michael mayor. And so I think that's all relevant because like some other kind of insurers are being trusted this week like Calpitz, Atlanta Falcons, their implied point total is 19 points against the Steelers. And I think the quarterback play might be similar to the Raiders maybe even worse. And there's a Drake London in this offense. There's no Drake London in this Raiders offense. You know, so I don't, is Pizz a better start been mayor? I guess so because we saw him, you know, do it last year, but it's not like mayor is just coming out of nowhere. You know, this is a really talented guy. And he might be ready to step into a big role here.

13:55Yeah, just want, I mean, just want you to think about that. Like Harold Vanajuner, obviously, I think is a better player. Browns aren't pie for 16 points this week. Don't know at all we're getting a quarterback from the Browns, you know, so is mayor really that much different than some of these other tight ends that we feel like are trustworthy? I think he's one of the best streamers really available and he's he somebody you might be able to start for a while. And especially here gets Miami. I'm fine signing off on that. If you want a role with mayor, I seem sort of similarly to Dalton Schultz. I've got Schultz a tight in 13 against the bills, but again, there's no Nico Collins in this offense. And that to me, that just really is meaningful that mayor might be able to push is his target share pretty freaking high as we've seen in a couple of games across his career. And as we saw it in other days, so there it is. There's my Michael Marra case. Let's talk about the rest of these tight ends. Tramley Bride, Set and Forget it, Colson Love and the same thing feel really good about the potential for garbage time points and everything with the bride

14:59for really good about the bear's potential for a shootout here. The thing Love and it's just locked into a big role. Sam LaPorta, I've got a tight in three. I'm really high on Sam LaPorta. So I can point you to my reasoning if you want. I did a show with my buddy Dan Schneier. He's not here today, but he's my lovely co-host. My usual co-host here is Dan Schneier. Our flag plants episode here. We talked about our favorite picks for fantasy this year, who we just thought were the best picks on the board. And I really think we're getting a crazy discount on Sam LaPorta. Last year was the first season of Sam LaPorta's career that he's averaged over two yards per route run. He's had a very good career to this point. And I think he's just flying under the radar a little bit because he got hurt last year. And so we've moved a lot of these other tightens ahead of him, but he's been tremendously productive to start his career. And he's now entering,

16:09what could definitely be his real breakout. Obviously he had the massive rookie season. But I just want to point this out again. Anybody who's been around during the draft season has seen this stat, but for anybody who's been new to the channel here, LaPorta has played three season and scored 520 fantasy points. The only tightens to score more through three seasons in a career are Grohnke, Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates, and George Kittle. I guess really, really been a strong start for this guy. And in week one, I think he's in a decent enough spot. The same Steve, it's actually is pretty good. But I mean, Vegas expectations are very high for the Lions in this game. So I'm just high on LaPorta in general. If you prefer Warren, Tyler Warren, or Tucker Kraft, I get that. But I do think there's a lot of upside for LaPorta at this game. Turns into a shootout. So just want to highlight him for people as always, Kraft seems like there's probably hopefully

17:13going to be no limitations. This guy's so insane. What we're seeing here is he's off the injury report for week one. So could be a huge, huge contributor right away. We saw, I mean, last time we saw this guy, he was just putting up crazy numbers, just going freaking bananas. And they've lost the ton of targets. And they're facing a Brian Flores defense that's about to blitz the crap out of Jordan love. And it just feels like, you know what? You're going to leave yourself in one-on-one situations over here because you're sure handed because you're blitzing me. It oughta dump it to Tucker Kraft over and over. Good luck tackling him. That makes sense to me. That would be my plan. I've got some crazy Tucker Kraft stats. Look at this. He gained 10 yards after the caption. 10 yards after the catch on almost half of his receptions last year. 47%. Second place was Chigo Conco at 28.6%. And so for some historic context on this,

18:19I mean, he averaged 10.8 yards after the catch perception. 10.8 yards averaged a full first down per catch after the catch just a full first down was his average. His career rate is 9.1, just a really, really ridiculous player. Like 7.5 was his yak per receptionist, Rookie. Then he went up to 9.1. I'm like 9.1. That's insane. That's due for regression probably. Said the silly data nerds. No, 10.8 in our face. 10.8 yards after the catch per reception in year three. The dude's unstoppable. I don't know. I wouldn't want to bet against Tucker Kraft. I think he's probably going to kick the door down here in year four. I'm

19:20really excited to see how this season gets started for him. Here's the best rates. I've been looking for this that this whole time here it is. Best rates during the yak era. So it's standing back to I think 2013. I've got to have his Kelsey 2014 season in here. I think it's actually 2013. The top two are Tucker Kraft. 47% of his catches gaining 10.5 yards after the catch. And then the year before that was 42% getting 10 yards or more after the catch. The next highest rate of any tight end with 30 or more catches dating back over 10 years is Vernon Davis at 35%. And then it's Evaning, Grimtraves, Kelsey, Dallas, Goddard, 33%. And then there's another Kraft season at 32% is Rookieer. And then there's George Kiddell's best season 32%. Like what? This guy's crazy. So yeah, I am. I'm not going to bet on regression. You know,

20:20I'm just going to keep draft in this guy and keep rostering him aggressively and dynasty and everything else. And week one, you better believe I'm starting him. So Tucker Kraft comes in, Titan 5. Not much else to really say about this top group. You're locked in here. Beyond that, it gets a little bit dicey. Harold Fanon is just a beast. Like he's, he's, I mean, every bit the dog that Kraft is, he's just not as fast. But man, this guy's so good. And he's a better route runner. Like he's just phenomenal. I'm a little nervous about what it's going to look like this year. There's more target competition than there was last year. Casey Concepcion is somebody who can command and probably will command short yardage targets. So maybe some of the Fanon stuff doesn't go to him as much this year. If they go, if they want to emphasize another player in that area,

21:21I'm nervous about the quarterback play for sure. I really don't want to watch what I think they're going to have to watch this year in Cleveland. I do think Todd Monkins is a really good coach. I also think Anthony Campanelli is a really good coach. He's the Jaguars, Devon's a coordinator. And so he probably knows that, you know, stop, stop Fanon, stop Juckins. Like that's the goal here. I would guess that the Fanon's going to be a huge emphasis for him. I would guess that he's got enough tricks that he can pull at the line of scrimmage to confuse old Watson here in this game. I think there's a reason the Browns are by far the lowest and 5.0 total at 16 this week. So I am fine starting Fanon just because he looks good on paper for me, basically any week, just because he's so good. He is probably going to get 45, 6, 7, 8 catches or whatever and can create additional yards on every single catch. He's so insane.

22:25The Browns might pass 30, 40 times if they're able to at least convert some first downs to get that type of volume in terms of the drop-axe. I could see a lot of targets for Fanon, you know, if the Browns fall way behind of this game on the road against the Jags. I also could see this just being a disaster spot where it's just like, oh no, this isn't functional NFL offense, this is a joke. And all the Browns players look like they're just screwed for Fanon this year. Like I, you know, wouldn't surprise me if we're there in week one. So I hope I'm wrong. I've got Fanon ranked as if you can trust them, but I do not know if you can. If you want to play pizza ahead of him, Coppets is ranked ahead of him according to consensus. Sure. I don't know if it's going to be much better in Atlanta. And I think the Fanon's a better player. But if you're scared off of Fanon, I think any of these players in this next group, basically after the top 3, 4, 5 guys,

23:26I see Fanon is clearly next. And then like this group is next. So it's a tier of like Goddard, likely, Joanne Johnson, pits and mayor. But I don't think that that tier is that much different than Fanon, really. I don't know. I get really nervous about Cleveland. I hope it's not as bad as I think it's going to be. All right. I'm going to take a quick break. I'm going to get back. I'll talk to you about this next tier. Why I'm so high on Goddard and likely. And then we'll get into some of the the streaming options. Because I've got there are actually some fun streaming options here for Riglons. If you're playing in deeper leagues or whatever, there's some names to know. I'll be right back.

My expectation based off the way that his August went, I think Goddard might see, it depends on how much they drop back to pass, but he might see like let's say 25 to 30% of the targets. I think

27:38is realistic. If you look at the splits with AJ Brown off of the field, Goddard has been really leaned on heavily as the number two target and has been very, very efficient on a per route and per target basis. This is a pretty soft matchup. Like I said, the Eagles are implied for a lot of points. That's about all you can ask for, Titan, that feels like a good recipe to me. I would start him ahead of some of these other titans. I think maybe are a little bit more likely to get targets, like likely in Johan Johnson, maybe pits in May or even, just because I think his touchdown probabilities much higher than those players. Likely, if you want the case on likely, I talked about that in this episode I did on Monday, Hot Takes episode with Theo Griminger. It was either on this one or it was on his channel on RotoR. We did two hot takes episodes this week because we are fired up. It's week one. And in one of those, here's a bold prediction show

28:43with Theo. It might be this one over here on RotoR Fantasy. In one of those, I talked about Isaiah likely quite a bit. I really like the spot for likely. I think he might get a bunch of targets. Maybe League Napers is just ready to go. It is 100% right away, but if neighbors is 90% or whatever, either way, I think they're going to lean on likely as an intermediate short target. Kind of like the Rashi Rice role that he's played for Matt Nagy who's now in New York. Or if you want to liken it to Wondale, Robinson obviously is a different coordinator here than there was during the Wondale era. But the point being that I think likely is going to soak up a lot of slot targets. I think neighbors could play in this lab, but I think that they're probably best served using him on the outside as a vertical threat. And I think we're going to see a lot of a lot of short target volume, fun on the likely dialysis defense could be a lot better. But as I talked about with Theo and that hot

29:46takes episode, they struggled a lot over the middle of the field. And they were very easy for teams to attack with their first three target and just kind of do what they wanted in the passing game last year. Maybe that changes. We'll see. It's week one for the first game for some of these players that are expected to help make a change here. So we'll see. I think likely is a valid start. I don't want to get carried away with it. I'm three spots ahead of consensus. And I guess that makes me a little nervous. I don't want to just tell you to start him over a fan in for sure, or whatever. But I think it's a decent start. Basically, I'm just a little bit apprehensive about this giant's offense. I don't know what we're going to get from Jackson Dard and Matt Nagy and everything. And dialysis defense could be better. So he's fine. If you want to go there, especially in PPR formats, I think that there could be a decent amount of upside, really. John Johnson is a player. I'm really excited for. I've been getting more and more excited for. And I think here, in a potential shootout, a game where they might fall behind the Saints and have to

30:48take to the air. And I mean, we saw last year at times, Kelly Moore allowed Tyler Shock to drop back 50 plus times in a game. So if we got that kind of outcome here, with John Johnson, operating is probably the clear number two target, that could be very good for PPR purposes. If you want, you can start him over. Basically, anybody we've talked about today. I mean, I would hesitate to really push him over any of the Laporta war and craft tier. But just from a like median outcome, like floor safety for PPR formats, like he's up there as far as Titans go. I think he's got a pretty fantasy-friendly role here to start out this season. This is where I have culpits. This is where I have Michael Mare. Don't have much to add on pits. Really, I'm just nervous as hell about this Atlanta team. I think Pittsburgh's defense is nasty. I was honestly shocked to see that the spread in this game is only three and a half points. So in my opinion, Atlanta could

31:55score even less than this 19 point applied total. The Vegas has set for them. And that wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm pretty nervous. I didn't draft pits this year. I'm pretty nervous with like a healthy Drake London and a tough match up in week one to go here. But maybe he just gets a lot of short targets from two of who knows. If you draft a pitch, you're probably starting him. But I do think there are other options you could consider who's offensive environment feel better to me in week one. Mention Dalton Schultz earlier. I think he's gonna be the number two target in Houston. Really an underrated player. So I do have Schultz ranked ahead of Jake Ferguson. And I think comparing those two might surprise you. If you just look at the past, but since Schultz got, you know, since the combo he's moved on from Schultz and Ferguson took over for him. He's been every bit as good as Ferguson on a per opportunity basis. Yards per out run, slight edge to Schultz first down per

32:56out run rate, slight edge to Schultz explosive reception rate. Actually a pretty decent edge to Schultz. And then just like straight up receiving yards. Schultz has more than Ferguson over the past three seasons. That's not what I would have guessed. But, you know, T-Furred, place for the Cowboys and scores touchdowns. And we've seen some high upside games from him when like CDLAM has been out. So I think that kind of sticks in our mind. But all things equal. And they're not even necessarily now because Jake Higgins is already out. So I think Schultz actually gets a boost. I think Schultz is a pretty pretty much like a top 12 tied in. Like near where Ferguson gets drafted. I think that's basically where Schultz belongs. I don't mean to disparage Ferguson necessarily. I think Schultz is just underrated. So I do have Schultz at tied in 13. I have Dalton Guketa ahead of him in this same game. Buffalo, Houston. And that is probably wrong. Like Schultz is probably going to outscore him if I'd to guess. But I think there's a lot more upside with the King Cades. So that's kind of how I like to

33:58view tied in. If you want more safety, then go Schultz. Sure. I just don't know if he's actually safe. But I'll probably play more than the King Cade. And he might have more targets. I'm not, I can't say that for sure. The target projection seems pretty similar to me. But King Cade is the guy who gets more downfield targets and was just wildly efficient last year. There were two players in the whole freaking league who had a higher yard per out run rate than Dalton King Cade. There are Pukinakuin, Jackson Smith and Jake, but that's the end of the list. He's third. Don't know what to make of that. But he was very efficient last year. He's clearly a talented receiver. And this might be a game where the bills, I mean, if any, this is the type of game where the bills might fall behind and have to pass or just be at least in a neutral game and have to pass or on the road against Houston. It also might be a game where they struggle. They've struggled at times against this defense. And I don't know. To me, you're going to want to try to establish the

34:59run. If you're Buffalo, I don't know how much King Cade plays into that game plan necessarily. He feels like a pretty risky start. But he is a start that you could, there it is. He's a start that you could make. Schultz is safer. Mark Andrews is sort of similar in my mind where he's kind of touched down or bust. King Cade just feels like the healthier, more explosive player. And I would rather play him. But obviously Andrews has a softer matchup. And might just keep playing the same role he's played. In which case, there's upside here, you know, I'm a little worried that because he had such a significant drop off in his efficiency in converting Red Zone targets last year that they might not keep using him that way. New offensive coordinator. And so if that falls off, then it's like, what are we left with? He doesn't really do anything between the 20s. We'll see. But it is good matchup here. Kultz have, you know, their defense has a lot of question marks. If healthy, these two cornerbacks Traverse Ward and Sauce Gardener are clearly, I think, the strength of this defense. So maybe

36:07that funnel is more targets. Andrews way. I'm fine if you want to start Andrews ever, you know, even mayor or King Cade or Shultz or whatever. I've got him at Titan 14. Titan 15 for me is K dot who nobody seems to care about. But I actually think as a decent player, he just kind of gets lost in the shuffle for Tampa Bay. They've had all of these awesome receivers that keep drafting good receivers. And so he kind of takes a back seat. But the dude is out there playing and running routes all the time. And this is a game where it could get into a back and forth shootout. They're on the road again Cincinnati. And I think he's just going to be out there all the time. I'm running routes and he could get targets. We've seen it times. He's been a productive receiver for Baker Mayfield. So I'm I'm fine going there if you want to. I mean, if you just want to bet on the game environment and play a player who's going to be out there. It's a new coach. And we don't really know how it will go. Chris Godwin is, you know, hopefully back and healthy and everything. At Bukas, hopefully back and healthy and everything like, I don't know. But we do know the Kada that is there and he's like, they're locked in Titan who runs around on every single dropback

37:11basically. So I've got on Titan 15 and then Jake Ferguson is next and then Britain Strange, who's a player I really like for the Jaguars. And then yeah, Kelsey, Kelsey, I come in much lower the consensus on. I mean, they do this for Titan 3 over all last year. Wasn't quite as good on a per game basis. I do think that Kenneth Walker being here is presents a significant difference. I also, I don't I think the Chiefs are going to really want to lean on the ground game. I don't know if they're going to drop back much in this game. Their left tackle might not play. And they're facing Denver's defense, which is obviously scary. But on the other side of that, maybe Kelsey is just leaned on if Rashi rises and quite ready. If the receivers are struggling against the cornerback play in Denver. I'm fine starting him if you want to. I just kind of it really feels like you need a touchdown. You need to kind of get lucky. I like some of these other players better because I feel like they are more likely to give you a decent yardage game in terms of Strange and Ferguson

38:15and even Otten. And they also could score touchdowns because they're on good offenses. So I don't mean to be out low on Kelsey. I just view them as like kind of the bottom of this tier with actually Colby Park. It's that's so funny. Colby Park is being the actual bottom of this tier, which is like Titans on really good offenses that could score touchdown. They don't give you a ton of yardage upside, whether it's Parkinson or Kelsey or Strange or Ferguson or Otten. But they can strike out a little bit if there's open space. And so you might run into a 60 yard game. But basically, you're betting on a touchdown from a player in a good offense. Yeah, so this is going to air on Friday. So that's going to be hopefully Colby Park. Send doesn't just give you a zero. And I look like a if complete fool for having him apparently 10 spots at a consensus. This guy was, I mean, he's there starting tight in right? I love T. Ferg as much as the next to go. But maybe I don't know, maybe things changed. That would be awesome. Turns Ferguson is my guy. So I would be very happy

39:21if things have changed. But as far as I'm my guess, we've got Parkinson as the clear starting Titans though. And Ferguson mixing it hopefully a little bit more than last year. Curious how to play out. Gunner Helm. Gotta talk about my boy Gunner Helm. He and T. Ferg are my favorite young Titans that just kind of get slept on. You second year Titans that that class got so much buzz. But nobody really cared about these two. In Ferguson's case, it's because he only had 11 catches. So nobody really knew who he was until this offseason. He's obviously gotten a ton of steam from the fantasy community. But Helm, I help Helm. Nobody really seems to care about. And he was actually pretty dang productive last year when he got to play. So what I've got here is first down Per out run rate last year for these rookie Titans. And he's, I mean, he's right below

40:25Aron DeGaz then in Harold Fannen, Jr. If you look at fantasy points Per out run, he averaged more than Tyler Warren. He's just behind Loveland and Fanon and ahead of Gadsden, ahead of Tyler Warren, ahead of Terrence Ferguson as a member of the Titans. I mean, that could be meaningful, right? I really like this guy. I thought it was very, very good at Texas. And then he had this weird combine experience where he did his combine testing whoops through in injury and fell to around five. But I think he's a really productive receiver at Texas and could be a productive pro. With the Titans actually implied for a stronger than usual point total in week one again, it gets the jets, I'm down to roll the dice on Helm if you have to. Hopefully, you don't have to. I've got him a Titan 20. Beyond that, Charlie Colars worth mentioning looks like the starting

41:29Titan for the chargers and they're implied for the most points of any team this week. So I've got him a Titan 25. Chigo Conco, I suppose it's worth mentioning if Washington has the pass a ton if they're chasing points against the Eagles. Oh, Conco could see a lot of targets. I don't really get it with TJ Hawkinson. He's ranked a Titan 20 by consensus. I'm a 27. I'm not sure what kind of role he's going to play this year. I mean, I think I'll be out there a lot, kind of like Kedon, but I just have so much more confidence in Baker. I feel like I actually read through his progressions and get to the third or fourth read, whereas Kyler, I think he's not really thrown into the middle of the field to teach you how Conco and some of that much. If I had a guess, so maybe KOC is designing things to Hawkinson, but my guess is a lot of the Hawkinson targets from the past are now going to turn to Kyler's scrambles. I don't really know if he's ever going to matter for fantasy this year, but I could be wrong. Greg Dulles, it's just someone who could matter for fantasy. I don't know how much he'll actually play,

42:37but if he plays a full-time role, they don't have a clear number one target, and he was really, really good last year on a per route and per target basis. So he's worth knowing. And then my last shout out for the super, super sick among us is Eric All Jr. Cincinnati Bengals. I don't actually know how much he'll play. My guess is that Eric All is not going to matter in week one or maybe at all this year, but he is a prospect. I really liked and he seems to be healthy. After having multiple knee surgeries, I hope he's healthy. That would be really, really fun. And I think he actually could really help the Bengals off. It's because he had some physicality, that type of imposition, and he's a good receiver. So it allows him to kind of play a little more multiple. We don't really know what they're doing. Maybe they can do some of the other center stuff. They've talked about wanting to do because of this guy. So we'll see. Keep an eye on that. In this shootout against the bucks and see if we get more Eric All snaps because that could be really fun. He's a deep,

43:37deep name to know for Dynasty purposes. I'll leave you with that, Eric All. All right. Thank you so much for being here. If you have not already subscribed, please do.
