0:00Just how good a season could we be
0:01looking at when it comes to Abuka?
0:03>> If you blindly bet on these Ohio State
0:05wide receivers recently, you've had a
0:07pretty darn good hit rate. And with
0:09Ameca Egbucca, he was drafted to be
0:11their eventual wide receiver one, an
0:13elite talent out of all these wide
0:15receivers at Ohio State. He's the one
0:16that's the all-time stats leader. I know
0:18that he was there for 4 years, so it's
0:20not apples to apples with Gear Wilson
0:21and all the rest of these dudes, but
0:23Ameca Egbucca is an alpha amongst this
0:25crop of players that have been fantasy
0:27gold. He was drafted to come there and
0:29be their number one wide receiver. The
0:31guy's got a 30% target share when Mike
0:33Evans isn't in the football game.
0:34>> off to a stretch last year, the first
0:36five games of the season that was unlike
0:38any rookie that I can remember. He's
0:39coming into the season healthy. There is
0:41no Mike Evans. He was drafted to be
0:42their next superstar wide receiver
0:44though. And now the gates have been
0:45opened for him to do it. And you got a
0:46pissed off Baker Mayfield who's trying
0:48to bet on himself and earn some money
0:49this year. You telling me that guy's
0:50going to look to Ameca Egbucca?
0:51>> Yeah, we're all in on him.
