0:00I I think it's an interesting one to
0:02talk through because I think John
0:04Higgins, my expectation for him, you
0:06know, obviously before the injury was
0:07that he was pretty locked in as the wide
0:09receiver two in uh in Houston. I think
0:13it was a team that was going to run a
0:15lot of two wide receiver sets with with
0:18Schultz and other tight ends they have
0:20there. So, I think he was slated for a
0:22pretty big role. I think now with with
0:25him out, the what you have to think
0:27through for the other players is, you
0:29know, who is going to replace him in two
0:31wide receiver sets. And if you look at
0:33what the Texans did last year,
0:35um Xavier Hutchinson was actually the
0:38guy they used most heavily in that
0:40situation. To end the season last year,
0:43uh there was a three-game playoff
0:45stretch. Actually, this is it's kind of
0:46a comparable situation cuz Higgins was
0:48actually playing, but um Nico Collins
0:51missed a couple of those playoff games.
0:53In those games, Hutchinson ran over 90%
0:56of the routes.
0:57>> We can talk about like how we rank these
0:58guys and range of outcomes and such.
1:00Like purely from just like a hey, if I'm
1:02betting on who is running the most
1:04routes at wide receiver two this year, I
1:06think it actually is Xavier Hutchinson.
1:09>> My read on Collins is like he was
1:12there there were scenarios where Higgins
1:14kind of challenged his dominance over
1:16the offense this year, and those are off
1:18the table now, which is good for
1:20Collins. But, you know, Higgins could
1:22have been a really
1:24interesting secondary player that helped
1:26the offense. We want this offense to
1:27bounce back, so that kind of hurts
1:29Collins. And then I think ultimately
1:31Collins was going to get his regardless
1:33and is still going to get his. So, I'm
1:34not seeing this as like a huge needle
1:37mover for Collins. I think it probably
1:38just makes Schultz
1:41a little more locked in, where he is
1:44uh you know, I don't know if he'll be
1:45the number two like all season, but
1:47there's going to be plenty of games
1:49where he'll be the number two option in
1:50the passing game now, and I I think
1:52that's pretty good for him.
1:54Uh Dell is is murkier, but I'm I'm
1:56pretty optimistic on Dell from the
1:58perspective of best ball where I'm
2:00getting guys on my roster who are going
2:02to score points at at points, right?
2:04Score points at points. I don't need you
2:07to score points I don't need all my guys
2:09to be scoring the beginning of the
2:10season.
2:11I need some of them to,
2:12but I don't need all of them to. And I
2:15think Dell I mean the stuff from Demeco
2:17Ryans has actually been pretty
2:19bullish on Dell. There was a clip going
2:21around of him
2:22saying you know,
2:24he's going to be comeback player of the
2:25year like really excited about the way
2:26he's looked uh running routes. There was
2:29a coach speak uh uh index quote where he
2:33was like that he looks really nice out
2:34there really crisp, you know, the route
2:36running that the ability to cut looks
2:38great. I was talking with Gretsch last
2:40night in our main event draft. He's
2:41like, yeah, but like is he when can he
2:43get hit? That's probably pretty
2:44important for him to play football.
