00:00Let's take a look at the wide receivers here, George, and let's start with Jamar Chase 9300.

00:07Again, we've seen a lot of big numbers in some of these matchups over the years between

00:12the Bengals and Ravens, where that total goes way above 60.

00:16These typically end up being some fun games.

00:17And with the fact that the Cincinnati Bengals can't seem to stop anybody on defense, maybe

00:21this is a good week to be investing in Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins, maybe

00:25not so much the running backs.

00:27But cheaper is the wide receiver one in fantasy, Nico Collins, which I was a huge supporter

00:32of going into this season.

00:34I thought he should have been a fringe first round pick.

00:37And it's crazy to look at now because he is the wide receiver one on the fantasy board.

00:41That's the way things are broken down right now.

00:43People were worried about Stefan Diggs.

00:45If you're worried about Tang Dell, I don't know why, because if you watch last year,

00:49it was pretty clear that Nico Collins was the man and he is the man here.

00:54I think this total might underwhelm just a bit, but it doesn't matter.

00:57Nico's going to eat.

00:58It's going to be a good situation.

00:59Then, of course, we got DK Metcalf at 8200 against the Giants.

01:04Very good matchup for him.

01:06George mentioned earlier, we think they can go over 27 points, maybe get into the 30s

01:11today.

01:12Jaden Reed, one of my favorite must plays of the week at 7200, a really good return

01:16on investment.

01:17And frankly, a thousand dollar difference between him and DK Metcalf.

01:21I'm going to take Jaden Reed every time.

01:22The Ross percentage might be high, but we're still going to go ahead and take him anyway.

01:26And then Xavier Leggett, who's sort of having a mini breakout recently, which is nice to

01:31see here with Andy Dalton at QB.

01:33You're seeing Xavier Leggett get a little rushing equity to get the ball in his hands

01:37kind of situation.

01:38You saw him with his first career touchdown recently, so good for him.

01:42So let's talk about Xavier Leggett.

01:44Let's talk about some of these other names here.

01:46I want to start with Leggett because he is kind of the trendy pickup of the week, or

01:50at least one of them.

01:51And Andy Dalton's made this kid relevant, and he certainly does have some talent.

01:54They did invest some draft capital in Carolina in the young wide receiver.

01:59Do you think this is a trend that can grow, or do you think what we saw last week was

02:02a one-off?

02:03I think it can grow.

02:07I do.

02:08I mean, let's face it.

02:09If you have anybody on the Panthers, the best thing that happened to you, fantasy-wise,

02:12was Bryce Young getting benched.

02:14It really was.

02:15Whatever you think about Dalton, he can run a pro offense, where Young just can't right

02:20now.

02:22Not the Carolina Panthers offense.

02:23We'll see what happens in his future there.

02:24So, yes, I do believe that better things are coming for Leggett.

02:27I don't know about today.

02:28Chicago Bears, better defense at Chicago.

02:30Not loving this off of Leggett.

02:32He's somebody I would not want to start today.

02:34If I can get away with it, once again, by which you may not be able to.

02:38So I do like his future.

02:40This may be the future.

02:42That may not be the present, which is today.

02:44Yes.

02:45Look, I think Leggett is a pretty good start today.

02:49The way that they utilize him, if they keep doing that, that's a good thing.

02:52Again, it's kind of like that Jaden Reed thing, where they're just getting him the football

02:54in space.

02:55That's a good thing.

02:56More touches, more fantasy points, or more potential for big plays as well.
