00:00Let's continue this conversation now and look at the rookies, most regular season rookie

00:07receiving yards for the upcoming season.

00:10This is a much different conversation, I would say.

00:14It is a much different conversation because it does feel like the chalk is the right way

00:18to go.

00:19Marvin Harrison Jr. is brilliant.

00:21He is everything you want out of a young wide receiver, runs the routes, has the pedigree,

00:26has the performance.

00:28Everything is there and the opportunity is going to be there, most importantly.

00:31So he is still plus money, plus 150, though.

00:34So I think a heavy investment here, two or three units in Marvin Harrison is the way

00:38to go for this.

00:39The argument people will make is Malik Nabors at plus 480 is a better investment because

00:44he is probably the shining star by far for this New York Giants team.

00:50And the New York Giants are still a public team, they still play in New York, there's

00:54still going to be a lot of media attention, especially they're going to be on hard knocks

00:56this year.

00:57So you're going to hear a lot of Malik Nabors hype.

00:59It would not shock me if this number changed a little bit and that plus 480 became more

01:03like a 350 by the time we got to late August.

01:07That being said, I have a hard time believing that we're going to get a brilliant receiving

01:12season for Malik Nabors with Daniel Jones playing quarterback.

01:15I just think that's a hard sell for me.

01:17Daniel Jones has been underwhelming in the pocket.

01:20Now for fantasy, he's fun because he does get out there and rush a little bit and that's

01:24great.

01:25You're going to rush for 600 yards.

01:26I'm taking that.

01:27You're going to have some rushing touchdowns.

01:28Sure.

01:29We love that.

01:30But it hasn't been proven out that Daniel Jones can be a really good pocket passer that

01:34can make somebody an elite wide receiver in fantasy.

01:37It hasn't happened yet.

01:39We'll see if it can happen.

01:41I think Malik Nabors has the best chance of making that happen, but can it be better than

01:44Kyler Murray with Marvin Harrison?

01:46Look, he dialed back a couple of years ago to Kyle, Kyler Murray, having a 1400 yard

01:51receiving season out of Deandre Hopkins.

01:53I think you could see a similar kind of year, 1350, at least from a guy like Marvin Harrison,

01:59the way this offense is structured.

02:00The other guys, Lad McConkey, Keon Coleman, Xavier Worthy, Roma Doonzay, look, Oh, Doonzay

02:05is the third guy in his own offense right now on the depth chart.

02:09I don't see that happening.

02:10Xavier Worthy is a big play guy.

02:12So not quite the volume there.

02:14Keon Coleman, I have skepticism.

02:16Lad McConkey is an interesting dark horse though, because if he's playing the slot,

02:20you could see him getting a hundred catches this year.

02:22That's not an absurd hot take.

02:24At the end of the day, I just don't think the, the depth of target's going to be there

02:28for him to compete with Marvin Harrison.

02:30So I'd stay away.

02:31So it is chalk right now.

02:32It's Marvin Harrison Jr. for me at the top.

02:34And you know, sometimes the answer at the top is just the easy right answer.

02:38In this case, I think it is.
