Player analysis
Player insights
A.J. Brown
PositiveRole0:31
Target share dropped from 31.3% in week 6 (return from injury) to 19.4% in week 7, raising concerns about role sustainability; host notes Brown doesn't look like himself and expresses worry about career downturn given ongoing knee issues that concerned the Rams in offseason; despite Drake May playing well and targets available, Brown is downgraded to low-end WR2 until tape shows improvement.
Insight pageAdonai Mitchell
NegativeRole8:08
Returning from injury but role diminished by Omar Cooper Jr.'s emergence; expected to play snaps primarily as X receiver to beat press coverage, functioning as closer to a sacrificial X rather than primary option. Source views him as secondary to Cooper Jr. going forward.
Insight pageBaker Mayfield
NegativeInjury12:56
Returned from dislocated thumb injury wearing specialized glove with steel plate for stabilization; limited opportunity to evaluate performance in week seven due to Buccaneers' early lead and run-heavy game script (only 11 pass attempts).
Insight pageChase Brown
NegativeProjection4:48
Chase Brown is averaging 12.5 PPR points per game, well below expectations for his draft capital (likely second round). The source acknowledges the fantasy points are not materializing despite a strong role, attributing this to negative variance over seven weeks. The source expects variance to regress back to the mean and projects he can approach second-round value for the rest of the season if touchdowns start to come.
Insight pagePositiveRole5:17
Chase Brown maintains an elite role despite disappointing fantasy production. He is playing 71.1% of snaps, commanding 72.3% of backfield opportunities, and posting a 13.7% target share. The source states this is an ideal running back role and expects fantasy points to follow as variance normalizes.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
NegativeDepth Chart20:58
Expected to return to Eagles lineup; source notes that Mekhi Lemon can maintain and build on his performance even when Smith returns to action, suggesting both receivers can coexist in elevated passing volume.
Insight pageJ.J. McCarthy
PositiveProjection8:57
Strong debut as Giants starter against Texans defense; 71.4% completion percentage, 9.0 yards per attempt, hitting difficult throws. Performance suggests capability to support number-one WR production, though source notes uncertainty given prior struggles supporting Justin Jefferson.
Insight pagePositiveRole10:10
Looks good as Vikings quarterback; athletic and willing to run, which creates streaming potential for wide receivers in the offense and suggests offensive upside beyond traditional passing.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
NegativeDepth Chart6:45
Trade rumors are swirling around Jonathan Taylor. The source notes the Vikings would be a pretty good landing spot for him, suggesting potential depth chart movement and role changes depending on where he lands.
Insight pageNegativeDepth Chart6:45
Trade rumors swirling; Vikings would be a logical landing spot given their 6-0 record, run-first offensive scheme, and need for additional run game firepower. Source sees fit as sensible but move is speculative.
Insight pageJordan Mason
PositiveRole6:12
Run-first team context supports RB2 floor; source expects plenty of carries and sufficient red zone opportunities for scoring. Ranked as low-end RB2 moving forward even in PPR leagues due to offensive scheme.
Insight pageNegativeRole6:16
Jordan Mason returned to action against the Colts, playing 64.4% of snaps and commanding 63.63% of backfield opportunities. He carried 15 times for 68 yards and received 2 targets (0 catches). The source notes Aaron Jones dealt with a knee injury and did not play the entire game, which contributed to Mason's increased role. The source frames this as consistent with the team's season-long approach rather than a surprise.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
NegativeProjection10:02
Despite positive game script in week seven, Justin Jefferson wasn't quite reaching fantasy expectations; the source notes this wasn't a surprise given the circumstances.
Insight pageJuwan Johnson
PositiveRole2:34
Snap share dropped to 59.2% over last three weeks with only 59% route participation and 7.5% target share; caught just five passes in that span; Saints shifted tight end role toward blocking due to offensive line issues, which doesn't suit Johnson's skill set; Jordan Tyson's imminent return will further squeeze snaps; host recommends dropping Johnson.
Insight pageNegativeRole3:19
The source advises fantasy managers to stop holding Jawan Johnson, indicating he no longer has a viable role or fantasy relevance.
Insight pageKC Concepcion
PositiveBreakout3:22
KC Concepcion finally connected with Deshaun Watson after a season of accuracy issues between the two. He posted a breakout game with 10 targets, 8 catches, 129 yards, 3 carries for 23 yards, and over 20 fantasy points. The source notes he has maintained strong role metrics all season: 79.9% snap share, 84.2% route share, and 23.2% target share. The source expects him to keep building on this performance moving forward.
Insight pagePositiveBreakout3:23
Finally delivered breakout game after maintaining strong role throughout season with consistent usage in Browns offense; host frames this as long-awaited emergence despite prior connection issues with Deshaun Watson.
Insight pagePositiveProjection4:03
The source projects KC Concepcion as a must-start in PPR leagues with 12-team formats and 3+ receiver starts, stating he should not be on benches anymore. In half-PPR, he drops slightly due to limited touchdown equity in the Browns offense, but the source expects him to be a PPR machine down the stretch.
Insight pageKyle Pitts
PositiveRole11:44
Scored touchdown in three straight games; source believes Falcons are utilizing him more in red zone and getting back on track with Michael Penix at quarterback after rough early season; usage and target share still mediocre for tight end standards but trending in right direction; streaming option for teams without elite tight ends.
Insight pageMichael Penix Jr.
PositiveRole12:08
Looking really good as Falcons quarterback; enabling Kyle Pitts to get back on track after rough early season; athletic and capable of leading the offense effectively.
Insight pageOmar Cooper Jr.
PositiveBreakout7:31
Repeated strong performance after returning from injury; 64.4% snap share, 69.7% route rate, 16.7% target share, 5 targets, 5 catches, 115 yards, 1 TD (22.5 PPR points) in week 7. Source identifies him as very talented pass catcher with downfield and YAC ability; expects role to grow. Ranked top-36 WR rest of season with elevated TD equity.

Episode Transcript
0:00Let's get ready to win some fantasy championships. What's going on everybody?
0:04Welcome on to another episode of Press Coverage where we help you get an edge in fantasy football.
0:09I'm your host as always TJ Wengert and today we're talking about week 7 heading into week 8 and beyond.
0:16Things to take away from all the big games, all the games, all the biggest moves, things to help you get ready
0:23for the rest of the season win fantasy championships.
0:25Let's jump right into it with the Patriots and the Bears of course which is Thursday Night Football.
0:31And I'm a little bit concerned that A.J. Brown's role is going to dip down from where it was in his first two games with the Patriots.
0:39So he comes back from his injury in week 6, he has a 31.3% target share.
0:44The role looks great, the points did not come with it because he had four uncharacteristic drops and he had a really bad day.
0:52But like running all the routes, massive target share, like okay, the fantasy points are going to come.
0:58Then week 7, target share drops down to 19.4%.
1:00Now, I don't think it's going to stay that low for the rest of the season.
1:05But A.J. Brown, you know, doesn't quite look like himself and this is kind of going back to last season.
1:12We know that he's kind of had knee problems for a few years now that he's been dealing with and kind of
1:19working through and he's kind of just been always able to perform regardless.
1:23But then at the end of last season, you know, there's some real questions about like how much the injuries were hurting
1:29him and how much it was like an effort thing because he seemed to be distraught and not happy with the Eagles.
1:36You know, led to, you know, him eventually leaving them.
1:39But also then during the offseason, like we knew that the Rams were in on A.J.
1:45Brown and they decided not to make a move because they were worried about the knees.
1:50So would it be surprising if A.J. Brown is actually kind of now on the downturn of his career to the point
1:56where like he's not really going to be useful for fantasy?
2:00It's possible. Like, it would not surprise me if that's the case.
2:04I'm still somewhat encouraged because Drake May is playing so well and there are targets to be had in the offense and A.J.
2:11Brown can earn them. But I am a little bit concerned.
2:14We're not going to get the A.J. Brown we thought we were drafting.
2:18So right now for me, he's more of a wide receiver to like low end wide receiver to until I can actually
2:25see something different than what he's put on tape so far this season.
2:29Next is the Steelers versus the Saints. And Jawan Johnson's time in the sun is over pretty clearly, honestly.
2:35So the last three weeks, you know, he started off great.
2:39Things were looking great kind of building off the last season.
2:42But the last three weeks, just 59.2% of snaps.
2:45He's still run only 59% of the routes. He has a 7.5% target chart during that time.
2:50He has five total catches in those three weeks.
2:53And this is all before Jordan Tyson gets back, which it seems like that could be soon.
2:58So what's really going to be on the table for Jawan Johnson?
3:02They focused more, the Saints have focused more on needing their tight ends to block with some issues they're having with their offensive line.
3:10And that's not something Jawan Johnson does. So he's getting a touch squeeze on his snaps.
3:15Targets aren't coming because of it. I don't see how that changes anytime soon.
3:19If you're still holding on to Jawan Johnson, you can stop.
3:22Next is the Browns versus the Titans. And we finally got the KC Concepcion breakout game.
3:27KC Concepcion has actually had a pretty darn good role for the Browns the entire season.
3:32Has gotten a lot of usage in the offense.
3:35The problem is him and Deshaun Watson had a problem connecting off it.
3:39Just to be frank, Deshaun Watson's accuracy has been really bad this season.
3:43And it's been really bad specifically towards KC Concepcion.
3:46A lot of these timing routes across the middle of the field or even some of these nice easy bubble screen type
3:53of stuff like Watson hasn't been that accurate on.
3:56But this game, it finally came together for him.
3:59KC Concepcion had a huge game. 10 targets, 8 catches, 129 yards.
4:02Also got 3 more carries. 23 yards, over 20 fancy points on the day.
4:07Love to see it. Now for the season, 79.9% of the snaps.
4:1184.2% of the routes. 23.2% target share. He's a really talented player.
4:14He's got a really good role. Like, I would expect him to keep building on this moving forward.
4:20In PPR leagues, 12-team PPR leagues, start 3-odd receivers.
4:23I don't see how he could be on benches anymore when it comes time to set your starting lineup.
4:29I think he has to be in starting lineups in PPR.
4:32Half PPR drops him down a little bit just because I do think his touchdown equity is a little small in the Browns offense.
4:40But I think he's going to be a PPR machine for them.
4:43Really excited for what he can do down the stretch of the season.
4:48Bengals versus the Ravens. I have to note, Chase Brown's role is still really good.
4:52Like, I know there's a lot of doom and gloom right now for Chase Brown.
4:57The fancy points are not there at all here.
5:00Right now he's averaging 12.5 PPR points per game, which is nowhere near what we need him to be for the draft
5:07capital we used on him in our drafts. 12.5 PPR points per game is not absolutely killing you, but like you're in
5:14no way happy with Chase Brown on your team right now.
5:17But the role is still good. On the season, he's playing 71.1% of the snaps.
5:22He has 72.3% of the backfield opportunities. He has a 13.7% target share.
5:26You can't ask for a better role than that for your running back.
5:30So I think the fancy points are going to come.
5:33We're on like the bad side of variance. It's been on the bad side of variance for like seven weeks, you know,
5:40but all the more reason why that can come back around.
5:43I think it's going to. We may not get, you know, the full draft price we paid for him.
5:49You second round value from Chase Brown. Just based on this, like, I mean, over the course of the entire season, you
5:56are not because of how bad the beginning was.
5:59But for the rest of the season, I think he can at least get close to that.
6:04If some of this variance gets back on his side, he starts to score a few touchdowns.
6:10Next is the Colts versus the Vikings. And I want to talk about Jordan Mason returning in this game, played 64.4% of
6:16the snaps, got 63.63% of the backfield opportunities. Worth noting, Aaron Jones dealing with a knee injury, did not play the entire game.
6:24But this is also just kind of going off of what they started with in the season.
6:29Like, this is not a surprise if Jordan Mason kind of taking a little bit more of the backfield in this split.
6:36He had 15 carries, 68 yards, got two targets to not catch either of them.
6:41But obviously that's not a very good day for fantasy, but the role is decent.
6:45I do want to note though here, it's funny that they played the Colts, but a lot of Jonathan Taylor trade rumors swirling around.
6:53Vikings would be a pretty good location for Jonathan Taylor to go.
6:56And it would make sense for the Vikings to make a trade like that.
7:01Like they're 6-0. They could use a little more firepower on offense, especially in their run game, especially because they're run first team, run first offense this season.
7:10So I think Jonathan Taylor makes some sense there.
7:12If the move doesn't happen, Jordan Mason's a low on RB2 for me moving forward, even in PPR leagues, because this is a run first team.
7:21I expect him to get plenty of carries and they'll get in red zone enough that he's going to have enough scoring opportunities.
7:28Next is the Dolphins versus the Jets. And Omar Cooper Jr.
7:31does it again. So he comes back from injury last week and has this big game.
7:36And he repeats it this week, even with Adonai Mitchell back.
7:40His role can grow from here. And I think it will based on his performances.
7:44He's at 64.4% of the snaps in week seven, 69.7% of the routes.
7:48He had a 16.7% target share. He had five targets, caught him all 115 yards and a touchdown, 22.5 PPR points.
7:55It's a small sample, but it's like so very obvious that he is very talented.
8:00Pass catcher. I talked about this last week. He's good downfield.
8:03He's good with the ball in his hands. He does a lot of things that offenses want.
8:08He's just a really talented player. So I would expect this to continue.
8:12I think Adonai Mitchell is back to being, you know, like he's going to, he's going to play some snaps because he's
8:19probably the best they have at beating press coverage.
8:22So he's going to play X, but he's, I think he's gonna be more there as closer to a sacrificial X.
8:29Now that Omar Cooper has come in and really shown what he can do.
8:33I think Omar Cooper, like Casey Concepcion top 36 wide receiver rest of the season, except he's got a little bit more touchdown equity to him.
8:41In my opinion, a little bit less PPR equity to him.
8:45So half PPR, like I prefer, uh, Omar Cooper jr, but full PPR, I prefer Casey Concepcion.
8:50Next game is the giants versus the Texans. We got our first full game with JJ McCarthy as the giant starter, and
8:57he played a really good game against the Texans.
9:00Now the Texans defense is not what it was last year, but this is still a Texas defense with a lot of
9:07talent on it and can give quarterbacks a hard time.
9:10But JJ McCarthy just really played well. He had a 71.4% completion percentage.
9:14You saw him hitting these throws that frankly, not a lot of QBs can hit.
9:19Uh, he averaged nine yards per attempt in the game.
9:22Uh, and I think best of all is that he fed and leak neighbors and help leak neighbors have a great game as well.
9:29Neighbors had nine targets, seven catches, 111 yards. Neighbors had a 32.1% target share.
9:34We'd love to see that if you've gotten like neighbors on your team.
9:38Um, I had some concern even after JJ McCarthy's big fourth quarter, a couple of weeks ago, that would he be able
9:44to hold up a number one wide receiver like Malik neighbors?
9:48Cause he didn't for Justin Jefferson. Now, JJ McCarthy, last year at the end of the year did put together a string
9:55of some positive games that maybe really should have made these kinds of performances, not too much of a surprise, but even
10:02then, Justin Jefferson wasn't quite getting there for fantasy.
10:05Now, this type of game Malik neighbors, is it going to happen every week?
10:09I don't know, but I have faith in Malik neighbors.
10:12And I'm not like moving them down my rankings at all because JJ McCarthy is there.
10:17Like I'm keeping Malik neighbors up there as a top wide receiver in fantasy and JJ McCarthy looks good.
10:23We're talking about a player who you could probably start streaming in fantasy because JJ McCarthy is athletic and is willing to run as well.
10:31So it's possible we can get some of that in there too, but we're going to take a quick second to hear about the player rankings.
10:39So when we come back, I'll get through the rest of the games.
10:43You know, I get asked is AI ruining fantasy sports?

11:36If you use the code boo. So check it out.
11:39Now let's get back to these games. The next game is the 49ers versus the Falcons.
11:44Kyle Pitts has scored a touchdown in three straight games.
11:47Touchdowns are a little bit unreliable, but it would be too big of a surprise if they're utilizing him now just more
11:54in the red zone and found the way that like, that's the way they can really utilize Kyle Pitts in this offense.
12:01But really it's more just that like Kyle Pitts getting back on track with Michael Penix and in this offense, whereas the early season started really rough.
12:09He's starting to get there. The usage, the target share, all that.
12:13It's still kind of mediocre for our tight ends.
12:16We want to see that grow. So Kyle Pitts is not an automatic starting tight end for me yet, but he is on the radar streaming tight end.
12:25If you're a team without one of these top tight ends and you're kind of playing a back and forth with tight
12:32ends, I wouldn't mind rostering him and another playing the matchups and seeing if Kyle Pitts can continue to grow into more in this offense.
12:39We've seen him be able to put up big performances in the past.
12:43It can happen again, especially with Michael Penix now leading this team and looking really good doing it.
12:49Next to the Buccaneers and the Panthers, where Baker Mayfield got back, was really hoping to see how Baker Mayfield was going
12:56to look with this dislocated thumb he's coming back from.
12:59He's like wearing a weird glove with like a steel plate in it, I believe to help like stabilize it and make
13:06sure like it doesn't get hurt further. And he's actually able to play.
13:10And we didn't really get to see that because the Buccaneers played a really weird script against the Panthers, got up on
13:17them really early, and Baker only attempted 11 passes in the entire game.
13:21They basically ran the ball down their throats, their first drive, scored a touchdown.
13:25Panthers came back. They ended up giving up a defensive touchdown to the Buccaneers, fell behind, turned the ball over.
13:32Baker never really had to throw. So unfortunately, we don't have a lot of information on what Baker's going to look like
13:39when he really has to drop back and pass.
13:41Uh, I'm cautiously optimistic because Baker is a dude who's played through a lot of injuries in the past.
13:47Doesn't always work out, but Baker's really tough. He's got decent enough weapons around him in the Buccaneers that maybe he's still
13:54going to be a viable QB2 in Superflex leagues.
13:57But I think that is where the expectation should be is like a, like a positive expectations.
14:02Like if he's a viable QB2 in Superflex, I think we're good with that outcome.
14:07Because again, this dislocated thumb on his throwing hand, and he's coming back from with this weird glove.
14:13Like, I, I am a little bit worried that they could go south pretty easily.
14:17So I don't want to get my hopes up too high for, for Baker.
14:22And unfortunately, we also don't get too much information of like, is he still going to be able to support his weapons?
14:29So that's, that's probably what we're looking for because that's the pass catcher we care about right now.
14:34Is he still going to be able to feed Egbuka and help him to a nice fancy finish?
14:40Next game is the Cardinals versus the Broncos. And looks like Jonah Coleman could be taking over in this Broncos backfield.
14:46So he got his chance in week two with some injuries to the backfield.
14:51Played pretty well, but then it came out after the game that he suffered an injury on like his first game.
14:57Kerry and played through has to go to the IR.
15:01He comes back this week. I mean, I expect him to be worked in a little bit slowly.
15:06Not the case. He actually led the Broncos backfield in snaps and in opportunities.
15:11He had 50% of the opportunities, 49.2% of snaps, which as you can see, still not that great because it was still a three headed monster.
15:19The hope is at this point, and I could see it going this way, is that they consolidate the backfield really more
15:26to just Jonah Coleman and RJ Harvey. JK Dobbins, I love you.
15:29All time. What if this player never got all those injuries, but he's just really not performing this year.
15:35He does not look good. Sean Payton has some allegiance to him, obviously, and they brought him back on a decent contract,
15:42but if he's not getting it done, you got to move on from it.
15:46I think this could get whittled down to Jonah Coleman and RJ Harvey, more or less doing a 50-50 split between them.
15:53They do different things. I think they complement each other well.
15:57They can both help in different ways and in some of the same ways, which makes the offense be able to throw the defense off.
16:05So, I'm really excited for Jonah Coleman in this offense.
16:08Probably still on a lot of rosters, because if your league had IR spots, he's probably placed in the IR.
16:14If he was still in their free agency, I hope you got him.
16:18This episode normally comes out after free agency happens, at least the first run of waivers.
16:23But, Jonah Coleman has to be rostered everywhere right now.
16:26Next game is the Packers versus the Lions. We got Josh Jacobs back in this game.
16:31And he came back and more or less just took over the backfield.
16:35He only played 52.2% of snaps, but he had 75% of the backfield opportunities.
16:40So, I've talked about this a lot. A lot of teams are doing this.
16:44I really love it where, when they bring back a player from timeout, they're monitoring their snaps, but not their opportunities.
16:51So, we still got a lot of Josh Jacobs opportunities, but they didn't overwork him by making sure they kept his actual snaps down.
16:58Now, as a runner, it wasn't good. A lot of that, though, is the Packers offensive line.
17:03They have not been able to run the ball at all this season.
17:08It's very clear the offensive line is not good.
17:10It's not getting a lot of room for the running backs.
17:14So, he's 11 with 36 on the ground, but as a pass catcher, seven targets, five catches, 55 yards, and a touchdown, and he dropped another touchdown.
17:22So, 20.1 PPR points on the day, a very good day for him.
17:26He's coming back to a high-powered offense that's going to be passing a lot.
17:31In this game, the Packers still kept a really high neutral pass rate, I believe 71%, showing that even though they got
17:38Josh Jacobs back, this is going to be a pass-first team.
17:41And frankly, that's even better for Josh Jacobs if you drafted him, because he does get used in the pass game, evidenced by this.
17:49for our running backs. So, you'll take this kind of performance if you've got Josh Jacobs on your roster.
17:54To me, Josh Jacobs right now, mid-RB2, mid-to-high RB2 moving forward.
17:58I think he looked mostly like he did last year, which is still a slightly diminished version of himself, but it's still
18:05a good running back and one that can handle a lot of opportunities.
18:09So, if you drafted Josh Jacobs, fought through the off-the-field issues, you've now got a really good asset on your team.
18:15Next is the Rams versus the Raiders. And, Trey Tucker's really becoming more of a consistent fantasy player than he ever has in the past.
18:23He has at least four catches every week since week two.
18:27And, in that time, he has three weeks of at least 20 PPR points.
18:31There's going to be some variance to his scoring.
18:34It's the nature of his player archetype. He's definitely a down-the-field receiver more than anything.
18:39So, more or less depends on if him and Kirk Cousins can hit on deep shot in that game to really, like, boost his fantasy points.
18:47But, he's not at nothing like he was in the past week to week.
18:51He's actually viable just in your flex because he's getting enough volume as their, I mean, I'm going to put in quotations
18:58wide receiver one because their wide receiver one is actually Brock Bowers.
19:02But, like, of the wide receivers, it's clearly him and no one else.
19:06So, yeah, you can actually flex Trey Tucker each and every week if you want.
19:11Next is the Chiefs versus the Seahawks where the Seahawks were able to hold down Kenneth Walker in his revenge game.
19:17And, I know that there's going to be some people out there who look at this and say, like, oh yeah, like,
19:24if you can get to Kenneth Walker and just, like, crowd the line and stuff him, like, the Chiefs offense goes to
19:31crap and they can't do anything and you can actually stop Kenneth Walker.
19:35And, I just want to say, like, do not take that away from this because it's, this lesson is really just about how good Seattle's defense is.
19:43They are one of, if not the only team in the NFL who can consistently stop the run without putting extra people in the box.
19:51And, they did that to Kenneth Walker because of how good that defense is.
19:56If anything from this game you should be taking away is that, and we kind of already knew this, like, the Seahawks
20:02are going to dominate a lot of offenses and they're going to shut down a lot of offenses.
20:08Do not worry about Kenneth Walker. I wouldn't be worried at all moving forward.
20:12Seahawks might be the only team in the NFL who can do this to the Chiefs.
20:17Last game of the week was the Cowboys versus the Eagles and we finally got Mekhi Lemon producing in a big way.
20:24He also had a really nice role. Now, did it take a lot of injuries around him for it to happen?
20:31Yes, it absolutely did. but, it's still good to see, as I've said many times before on this show and in the
20:38past, games like this help build the confidence of a player and I think that truly means something in a player development.
20:45Just playing with confidence makes you be able to make your moves with more assertiveness, you feel more comfortable, you're able to
20:52do the things that you've been thinking about, you don't second guess yourself, like, Mekhi Lemon can build off this performance and
20:58become a better player even when Devonta Smith gets back, even when Dontavian Wicks starts playing again, like, this is a really
21:05good performance of Mekhi Lemon to help him build off of into the rest of the season.
21:11In this game, played 90.9% of the snaps, 92.1% of the routes, had a 22.9% target share, got eight targets, seven catches,
21:1867 yards, one touchdown, 19.7 PPR points. I also want to note with Tanner McKeith, back there for the Eagles at quarterback,
21:24this team is going to pass a lot more.
21:27They passed over 40 times two weeks ago, passed for 37 times this game, like, there's going to be plenty of pass
21:34attempts for these pass catchers to work off of in Mekhi Lemon.
21:38Depending on who's out for this coming week, is at least in flex category right now, and we can see that continue
21:45to build throughout the rest of the season. But that's going to do it for this episode of Press Coverage.
