00:00at A.J. Brown, T. Higgins.

00:02Higgins was the star of the Fantasy Football Championship

00:06for a lot of people last week,

00:07scoring a bunch of touchdowns.

00:09A frustrating fantasy player to say the least,

00:12and George, I would say this,

00:14if we played this game last week, okay,

00:17between these two players, and this was one week ago,

00:21would you have taken T. Higgins over A.J. Brown?

00:24Because that's what's making this look closer than it is.

00:28My problem with T. Higgins is, you already said it, right?

00:31He's hurt a lot.

00:32He's on a whole bunch of my fantasy teams this year,

00:35or was on a whole bunch of my fantasy teams.

00:36I am a believer in his talent, love his talent,

00:39but I mean, he's a frustrating player, Craig,

00:42because even when he's, when he plays, he's questionable.

00:45You're always, oh, okay, what if he doesn't go here?

00:46He's that guy you gotta watch every time, 11.30 a.m.,

00:49every Sunday morning here to know

00:51if he's gonna be in the lineup or not.

00:53So he's very frustrating, and there's a time or two

00:54where he's been, he's been active,

00:56and still didn't put up the points.

00:58I don't know if he'll be with Cincinnati next year.

01:00I think not.

01:01I know Joe Burrows wants him back here,

01:03saying, you don't let players like this go,

01:05but I don't know where he's gonna end up.

01:07A.J. Brown, I know, is gonna be in Philadelphia.

01:08At least, I'm pretty sure.

01:10You know, Philadelphia, by the way,

01:11were to lose first round here, and Brown causes problems.

01:13Again, he caused problems last year.

01:15Already complained this year.

01:16Maybe not, but we'll see.

01:18I'm gonna go Brown here.

01:20I said, I think T. Higgins could be that guy.

01:21I do think Craig T. Higgins could be that guy.

01:25I don't know where he's gonna be.

01:26You know, one of these with the Raiders

01:28and a rookie quarterback, or, you know,

01:29so a lot of, you just don't know.

01:31Too many unknowns here.

01:33If you were to tell me, guarantee me,

01:35if Craig came down, oh, T. Higgins will be

01:37with Burrow and Chase next year, I might change my mind.

01:40But you can't do that, and I don't think he is going to be.

01:43So I'm not gonna take that chance.

01:44Give me Brown.

01:45No, I mean, Cincinnati, I mean,

01:47they're probably gonna take a defensive player,

01:48I would guess, in the draft,

01:49because their defense has been so bad.

01:51But in the second round, you could see Cincinnati

01:53taking this high-end receiver and, you know,

01:55just putting him next to Chase,

01:57and then hoping in two years,

01:58the guy is exactly like T. Higgins,

01:59and not having to pay the money.

02:00You could see that happening.

02:02Okay, so one wide receiver trending up

02:04at the end of the year, and one trending down.

02:06Xavier Worthy trending up for the Kansas City Chiefs,

02:09starting to come along a little bit.

02:11Marvin Harrison trended up for about two weeks this season,

02:14very early on, and then really didn't have the season

02:17that everybody thought that he would.

02:18George and I actually debated his draft position

02:21last year, which, this past year,

02:22which was probably higher than George remembered.

02:25187 points for Worthy, 179 for Marvin Harrison.

02:30But there's always that tell-tale, George,

02:34that sometimes first-year wide receivers

02:38in the NFL don't click.

02:39I mean, is this the case?

02:40Because if it's just the first year,

02:43like Jasson Smith and Jigba, as an example,

02:46Marvin Harrison Jr. is gonna be a star next year.

02:49I mean, both of these guys had trouble with chemistry

02:52with their quarterbacks, right?

02:53The difference is, Worthy seemed to get it

02:56with Mahomes last month of the season.

02:58We have not seen it with Harrison all season long.

03:02Maybe that changes during the offseason,

03:03where they'll work together.

03:04Theoretically, they'll work together a whole bunch

03:06with Harrison, with Murray, and Worthy, with Mahomes.

03:10I trust it with Mahomes more.

03:13Worthy's that deep guy.

03:14They use Worthy in all different kinds of sets.

03:17They use Worthy in all different kinds of sets here,

03:19whether it's running the ball to the backfield,

03:21deep passes here.

03:22I can't believe I'm going to say this,

03:24but I think I would go with Worthy right now.

03:28I think Harrison is the better talent.

03:30I do, but I didn't like what I saw

03:32with Harrison and Murray.

03:33And like I said, Murray, his downfield passing

03:35is just not very good,

03:37and no chemistry with Harrison whatsoever here.

03:40They weren't even on the same page.

03:41I don't even think they were in the same book

03:43half the time here.

03:45I said, Craig, this is weird,

03:47but I'm going to go with Worthy.

03:49Give me Worthy and Mahomes.
