Bucky Irving

NegativeBust26:58

Bucky Irving is a shop candidate. While he is the lead back, the Buccaneers' offense has struggled, and Irving has seen zero red-zone carries inside the five-yard line. The team has shown a commitment to using Sean Tucker in goal-line situations, mirroring Irving's usage patterns from last season. Managers should look to trade him for a receiver while his market sentiment remains high.

Insight page

Emmett Johnson

NegativeUsage20:27

Emmitt Johnson is being considered as a desperate start by fantasy managers who lack a viable, traditional RB2 on their rosters.

Insight page

Jaylen Wright

NegativeRole20:10

The source notes that some fantasy managers may have speculated that Jalen Wright would be inserted into the starting lineup due to team struggles, though he remains a speculative depth option.

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

PositiveValue20:44

Jordan Tyson is a recommended trade target for managers with a winning record who can afford to stash him. While he is still weeks away from returning, he is a safer long-term bet than Tyreek Hill for those who do not need immediate production.

Insight page

Kaelon Black

NegativeUsage20:23

Kalon Black is being considered as a desperate start by fantasy managers who lack a viable, traditional RB2 on their rosters.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

NegativeInjury24:28

Jesse Minter provided an update on Lamar Jackson's ankle injury, stating they do not believe it will be a long-term absence, though his status for Sunday remains uncertain.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

PositiveValue3:29

Matthew Golden is a strong buy-low candidate; he is out-targeting Christian Watson and has scored at least 9.8 PPR points in every game this season. The Packers' struggling defense forces a pass-heavy game script, ensuring volume for Golden, who is currently a solid WR2. He is ranked WR26 in rest-of-season rankings, which is considered conservative given his consistent role.

Insight page

Parker Washington

PositiveValue18:33

Parker Washington is a buy-low candidate following a dip in production. Managers are panicking after a difficult schedule, but the Jaguars' schedule opens up significantly after their bye week. Prior to the recent slump, Washington had at least 13 PPR points in every game, and his talent combined with the offense's potential makes him a strong acquisition target.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

NegativeInjury22:20

Rashee Rice has suffered a hamstring injury, which the source notes are typically multi-week injuries that can lead to an IR stint.

Insight page

Tre Harris

NegativeSleeper22:14

The source questions the long-term upside of adding Trey Harris, suggesting he may be a low-end option in a bad offense compared to higher-upside stashes.

Insight page

Tyreek Hill

PositiveSleeper20:44

The source recommends adding or buying Tyreek Hill as a stash, noting he is under 30% rostered in Yahoo leagues. Even at 70% of his pre-injury form, he remains a viable fantasy option, especially if he signs with a team like the Chiefs, who have an immediate need at receiver following injuries to Rashee Rice and Taequann Thornton.

0:00This is an iHeartPodcasts. Guaranteed Human. Hello everybody, welcome into FantasyPros.
0:03I'm Ryan Warmly joined by Tara Roberts as I am every Monday here.
0:07We are looking ahead already to week five with five moves to make ahead of the week here.
0:13It can be buys, it can be sells, it can be shops, it can be ads.
0:18We've got a mix of everything for us here today.
0:21Tara, how are you doing? How are you feeling about the season?
0:24Four weeks in, we're a month into the season.
0:27Four weeks in, kind of scary. No, it's not that bad.
0:31It's just the injuries have been outrageous. The second you believe in something like I got pumped up for Marcus Mariota against
0:37the Indianapolis defense and then that was over real quick.
0:40So yes, it's just been like a wild year in terms of these injuries coming at us.
0:45But you know, outside of that, everything's okay. Just don't talk about college football with me because, you know, my Tigers continue to embarrass me, but that's okay.
0:54At least I'm not betting on them. I'm a Maryland fan, okay?
0:58A week and a half ago, my team lost 54 to three and they still haven't fired our coach.
1:03So I don't want to hear anything about college football.
1:07Yeah, you know, it's funny, like we were doing the tailgate today and I was kind of messaging the guys.
1:13You know, there's fewer injuries than we had the last couple of weeks.
1:17Still, the first three are Lamar Jackson, Jamar Chase, Saquon Barkley, just like three of the biggest names.
1:22It's just like, you can't escape it. It's been an absolute nightmare this season.
1:26A reminder for everybody that all of our weekly consensus rankings and tiers can be found at fantasypros.com slash rankings.
1:32You can also navigate to our rest of season rankings there as well.
1:36They get updated throughout the week. So I'll be looking at when I reference a rest of season ranking on the show
1:43today, just the ones that have been updated as of this morning.
1:47So it is up to date as we can have for you here.
1:51Let's dive right in. Tara, looks like you're starting us off with a bye.
1:55I am. We are a bye happy mood this week because people, people need players, right?
2:00Nobody is saying, yeah, I want to sell off all my players.
2:04No, they're hoarding them. So we're buying, trying to snatch up ones that we can get at lower value.
2:09And Matthew Golden is one of those guys for me.
2:12I think the perception of the Packers is definitely still very low, despite their little victory, barely just little victory over Tampa Bay.
2:19It's still low enough to where Golden is excellent value for the upside that he has.
2:24Was genuinely an underwhelming performance in week four from Jordan Love, although technically speaking, it was his most efficient, ironically.
2:30But Golden continues to shine. And now after this week, he is now out targeting Christian Watson.
2:36He scored a minimum of 9.8 fantasy points in PPR in every game he's played in this season.
2:41And that specific performance of the 9.8 fantasy points was in week two against the Jets.
2:46That was the weather affected game. The Packers upcoming schedule in general leans a little bit more pass friendly.
2:52And the games that aren't specifically pass friendly are games where they play teams where they should be chasing points.
2:58That's the formula. Chasing points is the key because the Packers defense is truly struggling.
3:02They got more injuries and it just continues to pile up.
3:06It guarantees a certain level of volume, meaning that the vast majority of Jordan Love's games will have a minimum of 30 attempts.
3:13They no longer have, unfortunately, Jaden Reed. The target funnel is just three deep, specifically with Watson, Golden and Tucker Craft, who finally came on.
3:20Thank God for that one. So even with the run game struggles and the offensive line struggles, they're still locked in volume.
3:27That is making Golden constantly in the picture at wide receiver two.
3:31One of the only downsides of Matthew Golden is that his second matchup against the Lions is in week 18.
3:37So we won't get that as part of the fantasy season, the primo defensive matchup there.
3:42Yeah, I mean, Golden has so impressed me this season, just generally speaking.
3:46Obviously coming off his worst performance, at least in terms of yardage, he did have the touchdown.
3:51Where should he be ranked rest of season two?
3:54In the updated rest of season rankings, he's wide receiver 26.
3:57He's sandwiched by guys like Michael Wilson and Jameson Williams.
4:00Does that feel right to you? Is that too high, too low?
4:04What do you think? I think it's just right.
4:07Maybe a little bit conservative as we continue to have these guys that are dealing with injuries like Vlad McConkie, DJ Moore,
4:13who, you know, if all things were good and healthy and no issues, you know, he would be prioritizing them.
4:19But they have their own issues that they're working through.
4:22So, yeah, I think it's a very appropriate level.
4:25I think he's a little bit undervalued. So I think that leans towards going out and making the buy.
4:31If you had those guys like, let's say, DJ Moore or Vlad McConkie and you were 1-3 or 0-4 after this week,
4:38you're like, I need to win now. I can't wait on figuring out this injury stuff.
4:43Would you trade them straight up for Golden? Because they are ranked ahead of him in consensus, but not by much.
4:49I would for Vlad McConkie. I can't make that push right now for DJ Moore just because at least he has the
4:56quarterback with zero issues in the right environment to have those boom games.
5:00So just a good high ceiling makes it so, OK, I can hold and pause on that and see what we're working with in terms of this injury.
5:08But the game or the team situation for the Chargers makes it so, yeah, I would make that flip on McConkie.
5:15Speaking of the Chargers, the next player you want to talk about?
5:18Yeah, we're going to buy low on Amari and Hampton.
5:21I know some people might feel a certain type of way about this, but, I mean, let's talk it through, right?
5:28It's funny because we had a question on the Sunday morning show with me and Chris Welsh, and someone asked, who is a buy low running back?
5:36And we kind of responded like, I mean, there's not really a ton of options to buy low right now just because
5:43the market is so destitute and the majority of the buy low guys are in bad situations.
5:48Like, what are you going to do? Buy low on, you know, speaking of the Packers, are we going to buy low
5:55on a Marshawn Lloyd or Caleb Johnson? And no, you just don't want to dip into that.
6:00But if you have to target one that is a buy low, it is Amari and Hampton.
6:05As you know, Ryan, I do a ton of start, sit, Q&A every single week on a wide variety of social channels for you guys.
6:13And so when I say that people are looking to sell certain players, I'm not pulling it out of thin air.
6:19There are, you know, certain names that just get repeated over and over and over again that shows a really clear pattern
6:26in terms of how the general market of your typical leagues are operating, right?
6:30There are a lot of sharp legs where people would say, you know, this is not going to happen.
6:36But there's a lot of leagues where you might be able to get him at a very, very reasonable price.
6:42And that's the key. We're going reasonable price here.
6:45We're buying extremely low because of the panic and the fear that everyone has with this clearly split backfield.
6:50And I'm not saying that it's going to change into all of a sudden Amari and Hampton thriving and being the clear
6:57three down back and Keaton Mitchell just goes away and there's no Kamani Vidal.
7:01But there's a certain level of baked in volume that Amari and Hampton gets to where you can feel comfortable ranking him
7:08on a weekly basis at a minimum of a low in RB2 because he's getting volume.
7:13He is the lead back. Unfortunately, the whole check down situation is a bus, but he still has the opportunity for touchdowns as well.
7:20He's not being completely sniped in the red zone.
7:23So, yeah, it's not the greatest situation in the world, but he can still provide you a good solid double digit fantasy points.
7:30The problem is, is that it's workable volume. But where you drafted him at, it's not workable volume.
7:36You're just losing significantly on a weekly basis. And that fantasy manager just might not want to deal with it.
7:42His value is so, so low right now. And people want out and they can't afford to drop him because you know
7:48that you can't just drop an RB1 no matter how destitute the situation is.
7:53So I think it's worth trying to buy low.
7:55And the biggest factor why it's worth it is, again, you know, a certain level of job security.
8:01Love Keaton Mitchell. Stealing touches, absolutely. But he physically can't steal Amari and Hampton's entire job.
8:06He's a higher end version of Jonathan Brooks and all the promise in the world, right?
8:11But none of the physical guarantee, unfortunately. He's never had over 60 attempts in a single season.
8:16Hopefully he can, you know, thrive this season and push forward.
8:19But he's never played a fully healthy season. And he's never had a game with more than 11 carries in a single game.
8:26So he's a great complement to Amari and Hampton, but not a guy that can fully take his job.
8:32So Hampton has a certain level of guarantee to his workload to where if you're really struggling and the person in your
8:39league is just so frustrated with Amari and Hampton and just wants to move on and upgrade in another position, maybe they've
8:45gotten to the point where they're starting someone else that they drafted as an RB3 and they just feel more comfortable going that direction and benching Hampton.
8:54Maybe Hampton can serve a better purpose on your team in your starting lineup as a low-end RB2.
8:59Do you think we're going to see at some point this season the Chargers offense coalesce and not live up to the
9:06incredible hype that there was before the season but look like a good offense at some point?
9:11Will they have that breakout game where it's like, oh boy, here we go, strap in?
9:16Or do you think, I mean, we're only four weeks in.
9:19It gets late early in the NFL, but it is still early.
9:23Do you think that this is still just figuring it out or is it fundamentally like we are not going to see
9:30anything remotely close to that this year? You know, we were comparing him on the recap show to a Drake May where
9:36there's a certain level of promise like, okay, he's got the rushing upside.
9:40The coaching, we're not having, you know, this is not a new coaching staff, a new system or anything.
9:46He's just acclimating to a lot tougher games than he saw last season.
9:50And what we saw last week is he finally got into, or this past week in week four, we finally got into
9:57a pass friendly matchup where he could thrive. His wide receiver one as of right now came through.
10:02So yeah, there was better horizons and you could logically say like, okay, at some point we're going to see a better situation for him.
10:10But with the schedule that the Chargers have, you can try and pinpoint it and look through and it's like, man, I don't know.
10:17I mean, you're skipping ahead and saying, okay, well, somewhere on down the line, they're going to play the Jets.
10:23No offense to the Jets and Jets fans love you, but that will eventually be the easiest matchup they'll be able to get to.
10:31It's just tough to imagine that it's going to significantly turn around.
10:34Now they remain balanced. They remain committed to the run.
10:37They're not completely abandoning it. They're doing strange things in terms of this commitment to a three-man committee.
10:43But I would say that the run game and particularly Amari and Hampton, because he hasn't looked awful.
10:48And that's another thing. It's not as if he's out there looking like complete trash.
10:53Perhaps if Justin Herbert can just get right mentally and the interceptions come down, because all those were his fault last week.
11:00And maybe the wide receivers don't have as many drops, but even then, so it's just such a rough schedule.
11:06You've got another buy for us here. A player we talked about last week too.
11:10Yeah, it's a happier buy. It is Parker Washington.
11:13I wanted to run this one back because, you know, sometimes, you know, when you're looking at it as a fantasy manager,
11:20you say, no one's going to sell Parker Washington.
11:23They're holding on to him. Everybody knows his value.
11:25Everybody doesn't. Again, that goes back to, as I'm going through and I'm getting a lot of trade questions from people, Parker
11:32Washington is an extremely common name that was coming up a lot heading into this week, this past week, week four.
11:38However, he's a very buyable asset. A lot of fantasy managers were asking questions saying, hey, like, is, you know, when are
11:45the points going to come down for Parker Washington?
11:48Is this all going to drop? They were looking at those first games as the ceiling games, the outlier games, not as,
11:55okay, hey, there's better games on the horizon because these are difficult matchups.
11:59The Jags, we know they had a very slated schedule to begin the season.
12:03Then we get into the back half of the season after their bye week and things open up significantly and we get
12:10to those easier matchups where everyone in that offense is really going to benefit.
12:14But it's tough to get there if people were extremely concerned about the fact that at some point the wool is going
12:21to be pulled over and the rug or the rug is going to be pulled and we're going to be seeing this dip in production from Parker Washington.
12:29And that's what we got this week. So this is actually the perfect time, right, to get in there for those people who were a little bit concerned.
12:38And now you've got this little opening opportunity to really seal the deal because they were ready to ship them off and thinking that they were selling high.
12:46And now they're panicking, thinking that they're going to have to sell low before it drops even further.
12:52So, yeah, he's a very buyable asset right now.
12:54Of course, you know, if someone is a Parker Washington truther, there's nothing you can do about that.
13:00But sentiment on guys that around people that are not really 100% truthers.
13:04Yeah, they're a little bit panicked here. And again, from Trevor Lawrence, we've seen him in a not a very high volume situation.
13:11Operating with lower volume, higher efficiency in these matchups that are a little bit more difficult.
13:16They were very balanced this week. They leaned aggressively on Britain Strange.
13:19It seems like maybe the Bengals might be on the friendlier end of the tight end fantasy point spectrum.
13:25So maybe Liam Cohen saw something that could be exploited.
13:28And we sent those targets hyper targeting to Britain Strange in order to succeed in this matchup.
13:33But prior to this week, Washington had a minimum of 13 fantasy points in PPR with Trevor Lawrence maxing out at 29 attempts in a game.
13:41And the Jags face Philadelphia next week. Then they got Houston, the bye week.
13:46So right now is literally the perfect time to get in there and people thinking like, hey, this is this is it.
13:52We need to get out right now. This episode sponsored by Homebase.

14:22I think it's a great call. Obviously, I really liked this call a week ago.
14:26Maybe even more affordable to all your points here this week.
14:30You know, just eight targets the last two weeks.
14:32Like that's something I'd highlight. Definitely if you're, you know, looking to maybe sort of knock him down a bit in trying to acquire him cheaper.
14:40Like, oh, if there's some concern there, just four catches on eight targets, you know, in the last week.
14:46But there's no doubt in my mind that he's a really good player.
14:50There's no doubt in my mind that this is a really good offense.
14:54Those two pieces together, that's kind of enough for me to be really interested in going.
14:59And wide receiver is such a volatile position. There's like five names a year that aren't up and down.
15:05It is okay for a receiver to have a volatile week and have a bad down week here and there.
15:11Unless you're like JSN or, you know, 2021 Cooper Cup.
15:14Like, it is going to happen. So I definitely would recommend trying to take advantage of people overreacting to the natural roller coaster of a wide receiver season.

15:50You can find Tara doing a lot of live streams on there throughout the week, as she mentioned earlier, where she's answering
15:57all of those start, sit, trade, waiver, et cetera types of questions for you.
16:01So she does that on TikTok and Instagram for us.
16:04Tara, you have a player to shop. Yes. Yeah, shop is my friendly way of saying, like, we're just trying to feel it out.
16:12It's not like a must, like, hey. Like, when I say go buy Parker Washington, I'm saying go buy Parker Washington.
16:18When I say to shop Bucky Irving, I'm not saying, like, hey, panic.
16:22You need to just, like, get rid of him right now.
16:25Do what's right for your team because, obviously, like, you don't have to do this if you're not good at running back.
16:32Let's say that you're in a 10-team league. You drafted well at running back and you can afford to move Bucky.
16:38Then move him. Move him and upgrade at another position.
16:41The Bucs have not been probably underselling it. They have not been successful on offense this season.
16:47And the result has been just three red zone attempts for Bucky Irving with zero attempts inside the five.
16:52And his only rushing touchdown was back in week one.
16:55And that is definitely Tampa baseball. Their offensive struggles have been.
16:59I will not put any of that blame on him.
17:02Obviously, even before Jalen Daniels with Baker Mayfield, things were very shaky.
17:06So it's not as if prior to this week we were getting a bunch of red zone attempts from someone else.
17:12So this is why I'm saying we jump on it now before we get into what could be a little bit of a pattern, right?
17:20Because therein lies the problem. The offense has been so bad that we really haven't gotten to see what they want to
17:26do at the goal line because the goal line hasn't existed.
17:30And unfortunately, this is not new for Bucky Irving being iced out inside the five and greatly reduced inside the red zone.
17:36I was very concerned about Bucky Irving this offseason during draft season because while he was definitely going to be the lead
17:43back and volume was going to be there, he was going to get the bulk of the carries.
17:49My concern with him was what happens if Gamewell takes a little bit of the receiving work and then Sean Tucker runs
17:55it back at the goal line because Bucky had zero carries inside the five last season.
18:00Zero. And it wasn't related to his injury. It happened before the injury.
18:04It happened after the injury when he came back and he was on a normal workload.
18:09Sean Tucker was still getting those looks at the goal line.
18:12So then we cut to this week and the Tampa Bay staff actively says, yeah, we have got to get Sean Tucker more involved.
18:20Oops, that's that's a little bit of a red flag.
18:23And what happens? They kept their word. Yeah, they ran Sean Tucker in the red zone.
18:28He got a touchdown. Kenneth Gamewell got a receiving touchdown.
18:31And you can say that this is overreacting and that this is not going to be how it is the entire season.
18:37But that's what it was last season, unfortunately. So we might see a lot more of these games where Bucky is the lead back.
18:45Clearly, he's getting 15 carries. The result is 60 yards, maybe more if there's a good matchup, but no touchdowns.
18:51So if you're OK or you maybe have another running back that you have your eye on that you maybe want to
18:58upgrade to or you want to switch and upgrade in another position, now might be a good time to go ahead and,
19:04you know, make that pass on with Bucky, because most people still have a very good sentiment around him.
19:10He's not somebody that people were actively trying to shop around before this week.
19:14So we'll have to see how the reactions are probably going to be a lot of blame pay blame put on Jalen
19:21Daniels in particular rather than Bucky Irving and the offense in general.
19:25So I think it's still a good time to maybe get out there, shop around and see if there is any interest in him.
19:32Are you thinking more along the lines of like trying to trade him for another running back that you like better?
19:38Or are you thinking more like maybe go for a receiver with him and try to go, you know, cross positional with this one?
19:46I think maybe go cross positional, go for a receiver.
19:49Maybe you look for a package deal depending on how desperate someone is at running back, because the person who is going
19:55to want to buy Bucky Irving is not someone who's necessarily looking to flip a player that you would specifically want in your starting lineup.
20:03They're probably dealing with significant injuries. They lost A-chan.
20:06They lost Brees Hall. They're just they're struggling. They're trying to make it work.
20:10Maybe they thought that Jalen Wright was going to be the one they put him into their starting lineup.
20:16There's a thousand scenarios and a ton of people who are struggling significantly to the point where they're looking at backup running
20:23backs and saying, I think I have to start Kalon Black this week.
20:27I have to start Emmitt Johnson this week. You know, can I what do you think?
20:31What do you think in terms of who I can pivot to?
20:35Because they don't have an actual starting traditional RB2 that they can actually put into their starting lineup.
20:41You've got one more move to make here before week five.
20:44What is it? Yeah, it's technically two, but we are going to make a move in terms of adding or buying Tyreek Hill or Jordan Tyson.
20:52Just depends on how deep your league is, what the roster percentage is.
20:56Tyreek Hill is just under 30 percent rostered in Yahoo Leagues.
20:59I'm sure that will be rising. I'm sure now that we've got the news of the fact that he is probably going to be signing.
21:07Maybe we'll be signing with someone by the time you guys are watching this video.
21:11And then Jordan Tyson is still just over 51 percent rostered.
21:15Tyreek is the real quick and easy one. Not a ton of justification on that in terms of, hey, yeah, he's coming off of a major injury, right?
21:23And will he come back to 100 percent of where he was pre-injury?
21:27You know, that's hard to imagine. But even a slightly downgraded version of Tyreek Hill, 70 percent of Tyreek Hill is still
21:34a viable fantasy option in the right situation. And, you know, from what we hear, it could be the Chiefs, right?
21:40They've lost Rishi Rice to a hamstring injury. We'll have to see how serious that is.
21:45But we know that those unfortunately can get you on IR.
21:49They're typically multi-week injuries. They lost poor Taequann Thornton for the entire season.
21:53So they have an immediate need and a long-term need as well.
21:56So if it's that in particular, that is a very interesting fit to where I would like to hold him stash and just see what happens.
22:04Because it's one of those you never know. Are we messing around with these low-end options?
22:09You know, we talk about waivers and there's a guy like, you know, Trey Harris.
22:14Lad McConkie's down. Are we, you know, looking for a Trey Harris and adding him?
22:18What's the true upside? Do you want to roll with that all season in a bad offense?
22:23Or would you rather chance it with the potential of Tyreek Hill getting back in touch with Patrick Mahomes?
22:29I think that one is very interesting. And then there's Jordan Tyson.
22:33The reason why Jordan Tyson is an interesting trade target right now is because, again, he's around 50% roster.
22:39People are able to stash him in IR. But the Saints have stated that he's still weeks away.
22:44So they have a week eight by most logical return date would probably be week nine.
22:49It might feel like it's early, but the timing works because anyone that was rostering him was prepared to hold on.
22:56And the news of there being an additional month, maybe, that's frustrating.
22:59And with all of the injuries piling up, the bi-weeks and whatnot, if they need those IR spots, they might be a
23:06little bit more willing and thinking like, hey, maybe I just need to move on.
23:10Maybe I just need to give up. I don't know when he's going to come back.
23:15So if you can get Jordan Tyson on the cheap, I mean, at the end of the day, it is all about
23:22Tyler Shuck and the aggressive volume that he is pushing.
23:25Obviously, we filmed this before the Monday night game, so it's possible he underwhelms.
23:29But, you know, in the first three games of the season, he's had a minimum of 22 points in the first three games each season.
23:37He is absolutely pushing aggressive volume. We know that Kellen Moore loves to run aggressive pace of play.
23:42He's thrown for a minimum of 34 attempts in every single game.
23:46This is not unusual. It's not an anomaly. And they've been doing it in a wide variety of scenarios, you know, chasing
23:53points against Detroit, competitive matchup against Baltimore, solid defensive matchup against Vegas.
23:57So we've seen it in a lot of different scenarios.
24:00The volume is real. It's going to continue. And they're not even in the easy portion of their schedule where they start
24:06to face some of those, you know, in-division layups.
24:09So this is a move that you can make if you have a winning record right now.
24:14You've got the space to stash him and you could be looking to capitalize in the back half of the season on
24:21a rookie that will be tied to an extremely high volume quarterback.
24:25I'm sorry if you said this already while you're going through those.
24:28I was distracted by Jesse Minter giving an update on Lamar's ankle injury, which I was obviously very keen on.
24:34It wasn't really a real update. It was just saying that they don't think it's going to be a crazy long absence, but they're still getting information.
24:43So no update yet on chances for Sunday night.
24:45I was distracted by that. Did you say, do you have a preference between these two, between Jordan Tyson and Tyreek Hill?
24:52Because I think a lot of people might have the spot to try and pick up one, but maybe not both.
24:58Yeah. If you have a winning record and you can afford to hold, I think the safer bet is for you to go with Jordan Tyson.
25:06If you're needing somebody over the next month, then I would take that chance on Tyreek Hill because technically speaking, we don't
25:13know to what degree he is going to come back game ready.
25:17But if a team that is in a destitute situation right now with receivers, maybe the team, you know, maybe like Kansas
25:23City, obviously, maybe they know specifically that he's a little bit closer to being ready than you would think.
25:29And they're willing to do a ramp up. So maybe you approach it that way in terms of where you are in
25:36terms of if you need somebody for your starting lineup over the next couple of weeks.
25:41All right. We'll go ahead and wrap things up there.
