00:00Now, Winston last week had 334 yards.

00:05He had three touchdown passes.

00:07He was as good as anybody in fantasy football.

00:10Let's go through this here, George.

00:1212-team league.

00:14Are you picking up Jameis Winston and starting him this week?

00:17Let's begin there.

00:1812-team league.

00:20Would you pick him up and start him?

00:2212-team, whether or not I'm picking him up would depend on

00:25how many backup quarterbacks are out there.

00:27All right, some leagues, everybody's out there, right?

00:29Kirk Coats might still be out there, some leagues, no.

00:31And backup quarterbacks are gone.

00:32Yeah, I'm picking him up.

00:33All right.

00:34Listen, is he going to frustrate you?

00:36Sure, he's going to throw picks.

00:37And he should have thrown about two or three picks last year,

00:39including the one that would have lost the game.

00:41All right, Kyle Hamilton should have caught that ball.

00:42He dropped it.

00:43There were two other picks that were dropped as well.

00:45You know, the Ravens seconder needs to get on that jugs machine

00:48and start catching footballs there.

00:50A lot of drops there, but yes.

00:52And like I said, if quarterbacks are shallow, he is a pickup.

00:55And Greg, top 12?

00:57He's right there.

00:59He's right there.

01:00I would start him.

01:00I would have started him over Stroud.

01:03I would start him.

01:04Some of them, a lot of guys here.

01:05Yeah, I think he is a start this week.

01:09Ricky Pearsall on the 49ers.

01:11You know, I think that he would have been a great pickup

01:13if they were playing.

01:15But you know, given the fact that I think that Deebo Samuel

01:19is going to be healthy.

01:21I think Jennings probably is healthy.

01:23He's a nice little stash, I think, to have just in case

01:26one of those receivers gets hurt.

01:28It does feel like the 49ers have so much fantasy draft

01:30capital.

01:31You want to have their backups.

01:33You mentioned, I'm not going for him.

01:34Same thing.

01:35I don't see much high upside here.

01:36Not yet.

01:37Anyway, Jennings should be back, Kittle, Deebo.

01:40I mean, what is he, the fourth option there?

01:42And really the fifth option because Christian McAfee

01:44will be back.

01:45He's going to catch passes as well here.

01:47So no, I'm going to pass on Pearsall.

01:49All right, Taysom Hill.

01:50This was a big bust for me.

01:51I thought Hill was going to be a factor this year.

01:54And as soon as Carr went down, I'm like, all right,

01:56it's Hill time.

01:57It has not been, man.

01:58Two touchdowns, 97 rushing yards, four receptions.

02:02I'm shocked.

02:03I'm actually shocked that Hill was not more of a part

02:05of the offense.

02:06I have to think George, the injuries to him caught up.

02:09He's 33% rostered, but I don't know why you would pick

02:11him up at this point, even with the qualification of

02:13tight end and quarterback.

02:14Where are you going to play him?

02:17I'm not.

02:17He's the kind of guy where you just have to start every

02:19week and you'll get that big week here and there, right?

02:21Well, okay, he'll get the touchdown or two touchdowns

02:23because they ran some weird plays here.

02:25But tight ends are getting better, right?

02:27We're getting Hawk back now.

02:28We're getting our normal.

02:29Andrews is back.

02:29It seems like so you shouldn't need him.

02:32No, I'll pass on him too.

02:34All right.

02:34Now, let's go to the wide receiver position.

02:36And I think this is one that obviously has to be addressed.

02:39Jalen McMillan, Tampa Bay's wide receiving situation

02:42is a wreck.

02:42It was good to see Kate Otten get involved in the offense

02:45last week for the Bucks.

02:46And I think he is going to be a significant contributor

02:48to their team.

02:49What do you make of McMillan?

02:50And furthermore, is there anyone else that you would

02:52pick up at wide receiver for Tampa Bay?

02:55Yeah, but as you said there, Otten is a must-start,

02:57by the way, for your team.

02:59So go get him.

03:00Mayfield has eyes for him.

03:02As for McMillan, now you mentioned, you gave him a W

03:06last week because Atlanta, Atlanta scored a lot of points

03:08against Tampa.

03:09That's what, that's really what my W was.

03:10I did not think they would play as pulling a defense

03:12and Mayfield would do so well.

03:14And he, Mayfield did do well, right?

03:15McMillan put up points here.

03:18So I think he's a grab.

03:19Is he an automatic start for me?

03:21Probably, because Tampa's going to give up points.

03:24They don't have much of a defense here.

03:25I don't see them being able to stop teams.

03:28Now, they do play Kansas City, right?

03:29That's the Sunday night game this week.

03:31We know Kansas City has issues as well here, but Mayfield's

03:33going to have to throw the ball.

03:34All right, he's going to have to put that ball in the air

03:36here. Yeah, he, I think he's a start for me, Craig.

03:38Yes.
