welcome to the slow smoked pig skin podcast I'm Daren and I'm I mean Drew and this is our our podcast what are you doing you're not Aaron you're not Drew um I think we should go that was weird right yeah it was anyways I'm Aaron I'm Drew and this is our podcast [Music] [Music] [Applause] subscribe hello everybody and welcome to episode 30 of the slow smoke pig skin podcast we made another like Milestone or something I guess right we're at the dirty 30 right yeah dirty 30 uh God that feels like so long ago oh wait it was it was all right uh I got no League news nothing's happened nobody said anything about a you beta board is what it is uh NFL news there since we last recorded there hasn't been a whole lot I mean preseason games been happening so we're getting minor injuries here and there the biggest news is we talked about the potential for JJ McCarthy surgery and what might happen well we got the answer and the answer was that they he needed a full um miniscus repair and he's going to miss his entire rookie season which is a bummer in made multiple senses you know he already wasn't going to be the starter at the beginning likely but now he's not playing all year I don't know how I feel about what that does for Justin Jefferson like Sam darnold is a veteran and has played but he's also never been a prolific passer so we'll see no he's and I mean what he he played with the Niners and I don't know how he did there but like I was he probably hasn't had a Justin Jefferson caliber wide receiver someone that uh not quite but he had DJ Moore in Carolina yeah but DJ that was a that was a different type of Team like this the Vikings are a little bit better team than than the the Panthers were at that time um I like I picked up Donaldson uh in the offseason so like I'm ecstatic about it mean darnold what' I say Donaldson yeah I don't know why I was thinking yes darnold okay you knew who I was talking about I was verifying I think that a slightly more important issue with this is is like who's going to be the backup to the backup I know you had mentioned earlier to me in our talks off camera was uh tanah Hill I don't know if anything's actually come through but they they signed Matt carral who was like a backup in Carolina I'm not sure how that one's Really Gonna help but my only point is is if if uh if he can't if he doesn't perform in the first couple of weeks like are they going to go to another veteran backup so that just might be someone that if you need a quarterback to fill a spot might be something to keep in keep in mind I mean they still got Nick Mullen there who I think will play if something happened to darnold but I don't see anyone else coming in who's actually going to potentially usurp uh darnold as the starter not with what's out there right now they should trade for Kirk Cousins you know the Falcons got penices what do they need Kurt Cousins for yeah that's a hefty contract you got to absorb it was just a joke since he just left since he came from there I know they should kept him okay uh the vi honestly the Vikings have had a rough like go of it because you know they had a rookie or they had their Young quarterback cornerback die then Jordan Addison got arrested then now JJ's out uh and then Jordan Addison got hurt uh you know he was carded off the field during practice apparent ankle injury he's going to miss some time but I don't know if it's going to be time getting into the season or just the rest of the preseason but can you can you be injured in server suspension at the same time yeah he should hope unfortunately he's got no chance he's like he doesn't even have a court date for a while and you know they'll kick the I mean look Rashi rice we still don't even know what's going on with which is just it goes away and then all of a sudden it's like oh here's a one or two game suspension like yeah here you go by and then you going back to one of our pre previous sagas my favorite topic right now yeah the latest on Brandon iuk is now that trade talks have slowed down with the Steelers and he's close to a deal with the 49ers again my understanding of it is is that it's he's willing to go to Pittsburgh but Pittsburgh's not willing to give up what the ners want the contracts are pretty similar their contract is better in Pittsburgh that they're offering but the Niners can't get enough in return and then ners are willing to give him close to that 30 mil it's just last I heard was that it's the amount of years that auk wants on the contract so I hey at least there's news and they're talking like I don't even hear anything about I've only heard good things about both sides like everybody's like kind of somewhat happy with what's going on the only thing I'm worried about and I don't want to jinx it but you get all you don't get a contract before the start of the season and iuk goes down in week two and then it's like well there you're not going to get a contract I I I understand the concern but the likelihood of that if you're a top receiver like he is even if he got hurt this year somebody will still sign him next year 100% 100% like is there a chance it might be slightly less money maybe but like yeah if it's something well I mean unless it's like an Achilles or something right if it's an AC right I mean in ACL this these days is not considered like I remember what 10 15 years ago if you torn Achilles your career was potentially over now it's like all right cool you'll be back in a year is basically got a year you get a year off and you get to rebuild and yeah which is going back to to JJ it's like that's probably not a bad thing for him he has a year to learn in offense yes he's not gonna be game speed but he's gonna have that this might make him a better quarterback coming into year two we'll see all right into today's topic so uh with all the preseason games starting every team started well almost every team started to uh release their initial depth charts for the year and these are fun now we got to take it to an extent with a grain of salt because they this is the initial depth chart things are going to change over the offseason uh excuse me over the pre-season also depending on what source you look at online there's different depth charts I tried to focus on not the ones on like ESPN and instead the ones from press releases if I could find them but there's just some interesting conversations based on who was listed as starters and who wasn't as at certain positions on certain teams uh we're going to start today with the AFC and we'll do the NFC and a subsequent episode so to start let's start with the AFC East and I just pulled out a list of the teams and they're in alphabetical order so that's there's no order of importance it's just divisions in alphabetical order so let's start with the a what what the uh last I checked Jay came before P but that's okay then I guess they weren't you're right I I think it's more of this is this is how the this is East is going to end up that's okay okay so it's actually by team name because you get Buffalo Bills Miami Dolphins my New England Patriots and New York Jets gotcha all right anyways so looking at the depth chart for the bills the only positional uh depth chart that was interesting to me was wide receiver considering how many questions there are up in the air in there in oh by the way one other thing I should mention about these depth charts is that these initial depth charts do do tend to lean towards veteran players a lot of times and making rookies earn their spot so if you see a rookie not in the starting lineup it could mean they haven't had a good enough camper preseason or it could just mean it's going to change before the regular season so Bill's Wide Receiver right now they listed their starters as Mack Hollands khil Shakir and Curtis Samuel now they got a bunch of other wide receivers on the team um they've got technically Chase Clay's on there but he's on IR for the year but they've also got Keon Coleman Marquez valz scantling and KJ hamler so they've got a bunch but right now like I said Keon Coleman who everybody a lot of Dynasty folks have been a little hot and bothered on isn't currently listed as a starter like I said it's early and they may change but it's interesting that they started with M Hollins yeah I think with some of the with some of the rookies it's they they don't have a full Playbook yet they're still learning terminology and different routes and they're trying to figure out what they do best obviously they can watch all the college football tape that they want and combine but it's like that's not that doesn't translate to practice field and if you look Coleman has the least amount of reps out of anybody on there so they're not going to list him as the as a day one starter at least in the middle of the preseason but they're GNA have special place for him they're going to have packages for him he's going to be out there at least 50% of the time like the guy's got skills to be an NFL quarter uh wide receiver I had heard a report a week or two back that there was reports that he was uh having a tough time learning The Playbook so it could have something to do with that right uh that was the only one that was interesting on the bills to me the Dolphins you know theyve they're pretty set at wide receiver and running back however you know they signed jonu Smith this year at tight end who I thought could be an interesting weapon for them you know jonu Smith everyone thinks he's getting older but he got some useful work last year in Atlanta but Durham Smite is actually listed as the starting tight end over John new Smith so that was interesting if you were thinking about taking a late round flyer on Janu in uh in any type of Dynasty or any type of fantasy format that offense uh with McDaniel he does a lot of matchups so I think that it's depends on who they're playing that week and he also likes to ride the hot hand so if you get one of the tight ends that's kind of gets on a roll he's probably goingon to go with that one and then he may switch back and forth so that's one of those things where as a fantasy owner it's like he's but one of those tight ends are gonna be like the bye I'm gon I gotta fill somebody with him because I don't know if either one of them is actually gonna put up yeah I mean put up the points that you want to start them week in and week out the Dolphins have so many other weapons right that I yeah I wouldn't be chasing the Dolphins tight end but but the lack of tight ends in the league in fantasy that get can score points like again if you have one this is going to be a filler week yep all right Patriots um their's actually their death chart wasn't actually released yet when I was doing this research it might have been by now and if it did sorry my bad but they uh listed jacobe brette as the starting quarterback over Drake may Joe Milton and bayy zappy which was expected um the first preseason game uh brassette took the initial snaps didn't look that great and then I think Drake may had a rushing touchdown if I remember correctly um but uh yeah so I think we're looking at brette to start the season and then Drake May coming in at some point Joe Milton as we talked about had a good um preseason performance when he got an opportunity albeit it was against you know second or third string defenses but he's an interesting character and if they've got brassette May and Milton I wonder if zappy even makes the team at that point uh I was watching The Hard Knocks with the Bears and I thought I heard them say that they can now carry four quarterbacks that might like there's a new rule that said something like that because they normally always carry the they carry the three but just because they have four quarterbacks that they're going that obviously they've got they've got Caleb Williams and this is a side note but that's just something that I that I had caught when I was watching it but I don't know about like I know they changed the rules so that on game day you have two quarterbacks active and then one you can have a third quarterback that's listed as an emergency quarterback who is only allowed to play if the first the first two go down they changed that rule after that uh 49ers versus Eagles game where perie got hurt and then I think their backup at the time was Josh Johnson got hurt and that's when perie came in with his like hornet elbow or whatever it was and couldn't really throw the ball they almost yeah they just handed it off repeatedly they almost had mcaffrey play yes quarterback that game so they changed the rules so that if both of them go down you can have this third guy but you can't have the third guy com in in any other situation right but I agree with you on that like I I don't think Milton's going to get he might have a couple of packages where they throw him out there he might go out there if they need a Hill Mary yeah right got hell of a strong arm right at the goal line if like they wanted him to run the ball or something like that because but I think Bret's gonna start and then may will come in even if it's as early as like week two or week three I I don't know their schedule but you know they're gonna they're not gonna let they're not gonna let may just start week one no I A lot of times uh they'll do the transition at their by weekend I don't know what hand when the Patriots buy is um so the other position of interest for the Patriots is the wide receiver because they had like 18 guys in that room I felt like competing and the initial dep trit I saw listed the starters as Kendrick Bourne Demario pop Douglas and Jaylen pul the rookie so ironically I just realized when I wrote this um Juju hadn't been released yet had yeah we touched on that last week yeah he has now but they also have KJ Osborne on this roster tawon thoron who was a I think a first round pick a couple years ago super fast guy Javon ba Javon Baker who was uh a draft pick this year Jaylen rager you know former first round pick who never amounted to anything and then Kon booty or boute I can never remember how it's pronounced but I don't know I know it's either booty or boute um but he he was drafted for them within the past couple years as well but had disappointed thus far so yeah I mean like I said there were so many names out there you don't know what to do with and it was just interesting the ones that showed up as the starters to me I'm happy with J I'm happy with Jaylen pul I think he was my fourth or fifth pick of the draft and like he's not going to be a number one this year by any means but I mean I like the fact that he's on there um and I think obviously they're going to they're going to get passing yards right like you a team has to do that so I feel like if you need someone to throw in there in a bye like a Patriots wide receiver is not like you get one of those top ones that yeah you could maybe get a trade and you know hopefully something works out where you can just kind of throw that player in no to sweeten the deal uh but I'm not hopeful with the Patriots this year very much as far as and I was just thinking about it I can't remember Kendrick Bourne I know was hurt so can't remember if he'll actually be back for the start of the season I haven't looked that up but either way like you said these aren't real fantasy options that you want to be hopping on board with right now yeah yeah no not really all right so the Jets they listed brillan Allen as the rb2 behind Bree which was a question coming into Camp obviously as a rookie we know he's not taking over Bree but it sounds like he has has solidly taken that second spot um let me ask you a question real quick running back two running back three like they does it like it doesn't mean that they get more reps it just list that it really doesn't mean anything it's just all it generally means is if something happen who's the next man up right there is situ like it depends on the backfield right because like certain teams they'll have like the they'll have an rv1 they'll have like who they list the rb2 but sometimes that's confusing because if rb1 went down sometimes the person who's rb3 would actually move because the rb2 role is a specific role where you know the pass catching back or something like that thir got a different skill set but this one was intended as brillan Allen is going to get the first shot at workload if something happens to Bree Right um and then the Jets wide receiver you know obviously we know that Garrett Wilson is the number one um but Mike Williams is supposed to be clear to play and so he should be two and then the question was what happens over that um for the moment they listed Xavier Gibson who's a secondy year player who had some flashes last year as um number two and they also have or excuse me as a starter and at the moment they also have have Alan Lazard listed as a starter although I don't think anybody expects to see uh Alan Lazard get a whole lot of work anymore he has just absolutely disappointed but him and Rogers had they had something in Green Bay so maybe I I guess there's that possibility I just wouldn't I'm not I'm not gonna bet on it but it's I think they you know they brought Lazard in because uh Rogers wanted him but I don't think that he I I think the rest of the coaching staff and whatnot got very annoyed with him like his lack of performance last year and I don't know that Rogers has the same sway after a year being hurt and everyone being annoyed with that situation and they drafted a rookie Malachi Corley um he's not listed as a starter yet it'll be interesting to see with him he's more of a after the catch guy but so is Xavier Ipson so yeah anyways uh moving on to the AFC North the Ravens the only thing that was actually interesting to me is I had heard a whole um bunch of hype for their running back draft pick Rasheen Ali and he was on the initial depth chart lifted listed as the fifth running back so I had thrown him on my taxi Squad as a after he wasn't drafted and uh that's not good news if he's listed as fifth right now not right now but with the with the luck that uh the Ravens have with running backs that's true that's a very good point go through like six a year yeah um all right Bengals right now Zach Moss is was listed as the starter over Chase Brown I think I mentioned last week that there's been hype going around Chase brown right now it still looks like Zach Moss will be the starter um but that may that's one that could potentially change through preseason um at the wide receiver position their third starting obviously behind Chase and Higgins their third wide starting Wide Receiver right now is listed as Tren Irwin um which is only interesting because they've got Andre Andre yosibash who has looked inserts and and they've got Germaine Burton who's a uh electric rookie I think he was out of Alabama if I remember correctly somebody's going to get mad at me for getting that wrong but either way uh he caught a long touchdown pass I believe in the last preseason game um so that's an interesting one and then they've got a couple of tight ends on that team they signed Mike aiki as a free agent but they listed Drew example as the starting tight end over giki and Tanner Hudson because I think they also resigned at least one or two of the so they signed a bunch of these guys none of these are probably going to be big fantasy impacts but still just interesting to see I'm looking on sleeper right now and it actually has Mike gaseki as the number one tight end with Tanner Hudson and then Drew sample not that it makes much of a difference if you're looking at sleeper as your depth chart uh it's clearly quite different than uh uh some other ones out there but interesting yeah but it's I mean that's it's a huge that's a they've got some big wide receivers there so it's hard to crack they got how many eight wide receivers going for one position like it's basically what it is yeah but that's my two cents on it keeping going on the NFC North the Browns um despite the fact that we know he's going to miss the season they actually still listed Nick chub at the top of the RB death chart so uh we know everybody like a lot of people like him as a person and like him as a teammate um but he's going to be on the pup um so but then they have the second running back as Jerome Ford which is expected right but then the slight surprise to me was that they put Pierre strong over deont foran um I don't know if that would have been different had foran not had his injury in the preseason where he got helicoptered out but that's where it stands right now and then at wide receiver obviously they got Jerry Judy and Amari Cooper um Cedric Tillman had been getting a lot of hype in training camp reports that I've been hearing but Elijah Moore was still listed as the starter over him so yeah uh continuing we got the Steelers so Russ is still listed as the starter over Justin Fields uh Peak behind the curtain we're recording on Saturday and the preseason game today Russ took the uh started the game and took you know the first team reps so I guess he still does hold the spot over fields for now I still think that there's no chance it works that way on at the end of the season that being said I was messaging with Steve uh since Steve's the JJ McCarthy owner in Dynasty I had texted him when I heard about McCarthy going out and I was like what are they going to do Sign tanah Hill maybe cuz he's the best free agent out there he's like no they should uh send an offer for a late round pick over to the Steelers to pick up Russ and I was like that's an interesting idea it's actually interesting I don't know that it would happen but it's an interesting concept um Naji is listed as a started over Jaylen Warren once again the game is going on I think as we speak but Jaylen Warren actually exited the game with an injury we always I felt like I always knew that Naji was going to be the starter and Jaylen Warren was probably going to be like a third down mix it up back he's more explosive but na will get you your three yards right um so we'll see and then wi receiver they obviously George Pi is the number one right now van Jefferson is listed as the two and then Calvin Austin is listed as the three uh which is surprised cuz I feel like Calvin Austin hasn't got a lot of work in the p in this offense Roman Wilson rookie we talked about got hurt they got quz Watkins and Scotty Miller none of these guys are very exciting point is don't know who the third going to be but I don't think you want the second wide receiver on the Steelers right now let alone the third and and I think that's almost why Justin Fields is a better fit in Pittsburgh than Russ is just with legs like he you don't you're not passing to anybody like realistically like you've got it but when those guys CU can double team Pickins uh and then are the other two guys gonna actually do anything uh so I yeah I think they'll they're GNA move to Fields probably I would say pretty quickly as long as he can learn the learn the offense that might be that might be a struggle unless auken's up there yeah I don't think it's G to happen if it would have happened then if I I just I think that the ners like IU too much to and they know that like Debo's got this year maybe he's been injured a lot like how much more does he really have as the number one heavy workload we'll see all right uh AFC South the Texans now they don't list an order of who is wide receiver 1 2 and three they're three starting wide receivers obviously Collins Diggs and tank Dell so there's not a lot of info we could get from that the only interesting thing I thought was you know if you watch the Hall of Fame game cam Acres had like a whole bunch of carries but he's still listed as the like RV five or six so I don't even know if he'll make the team but he's just he's had a few bad years and yeah it's kind of just sticking with him and I think it's going to take a lot more than one one preseason game to bump up uh the Colts uh Trey Surman is listed as the rb2 he's the solid backup right now to Jonathan Taylor but I think he had a minor injury that hopefully that's not going to mess that up either way it doesn't matter unless something happens to Jonathan Taylor uh rookie ad wide receiver Adan I Mitchell is listed as a co-starter with Alec Pierce uh which is interesting because what a thought that he could easily beat out Alec Pierce M but I also there was a report the other day that uh Josh DS had some injury that may cost him some time if that happens then that may allow Adonai Mitchell to get on the field sooner if he can get on the field and show something then maybe he is the second or third wide receiver otherwise it was looking like there was a chance that he wasn't going to be one of the top three which is just interesting yeah considering he was a you know what did he end was he end up being a second or a third round pick I think second he was second late second I want to say it was it was second because there was talks of him potentially going in the first and SLI to the second yeah I don't know it's I think that's just a weird dynamic maybe it's a you know how these coaches do these games and it's like oh if you don't list him as a as a as a as a starter as a top three we don't have to worry about him as other teams prepare and it's like and then all of a sudden they throw them in there so there could be some gamesmanship to this like I like like we said you got to take these Especial these initial ones to an extent with a grain of salt but it's still some interesting we've still got one one more week of preseason before two more is it over preseason we got one more week right three I thought they've already played they've already played three games no most teams are playing their second game this weekend Oh I thought they were I thought they were cutting it down no you're right right because I was thinking yeah September whatever I don't know there's still plenty of time for these these to move around exactly uh Jaguars there was nothing surprising to me it all looked as I expected so uh the Titans they listed Pard and Spears as co-starters which just I I think this is what everybody was kind of worried about was that they were going to cannibalize each other's fantasy value and so it's looking like will likely be the case right if anything it only helps Spears's value by making him oh he's a starter so he's worth more but realistically like they're both worth number two backs like at this point yep um Calvin Ridley's listed as the starter as with DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd now obviously DeAndre Hopkins is hurt so don't know what's going to happen with that they've got trayon Burks who you know they traded up and gave away AJ Brown for what is that two years ago three years ago and he hasn't showed up so I don't know maybe he'll get a chance with Hopkins going down but uh yeah that's other than Calvin Ridley I don't know that I want to touch any wide receiver I don't know that I want to touch anyone on that team period other than calvan Ridley um AFC West so in the initial depth chart they listed Jared stum as the number one quarterback Zack Wilson at two and Bo Knicks at three I feel like this is some Shawn Payton bull 100% um oh rookies got to earn it I I'd be shocked if B knck is not the week one starter yeah like I've seen yeah I've seen a few things on the interweb and bonck is like he's looking better than expected so I think I mean he's literally has the most college football games started ever like 60 something I want to say I think it was 60 I think it was 60 on the dot but still like if 60 college games doesn't get you more ready for the pros than these kids who only play college for two or three years then you don't deserve it but so um at the wide receiver they have they actually have Tim Patrick listed as a starting wide receiver which is a surprise to me considering there's so much hype over Marvin Mims so many people like Marvin Mims and his ability and last year Shawn pyton kept saying crap like oh yeah we need to get Mims more work and then he's not listed as a starter so that one's yeah I don't know and Troy Franklin with the other names they have there and the fact that he dropped to the fourth round I don't know how much of a chance Franklin's going to get yeah I I mean again I have I have courland Sutton on my team and he on sleeper He's listed as one they extend ended him like yeah sorry I didn't even list courland suton because he was the obvious one sorry okay I forgot to I forgot to go P you said one and I was like hold on a second yeah sorry Sutton's one Frankin Tim Patrick and then these other guys yeah um and then at the running back they've got javante listed as the starter which should be expected but there has been such conflicting reports coming out of Broncos camps like one guy says like oh I think javante is on the roster bubble and then somebody else is like oh he's Far and Away the number one and might be back to what people Hope from him so um it's Shawn pton playing these fun games he likes I am not a fan of him um and I've heard stories that he is a garbage human and like treats people anyways bountygate what do they call it uh yeah yeah exactly like yeah he we we already know that his character is in question right um then Jal mlin who was uh showed some interesting flashes last year he's actually listed as rb3 on the team so I don't know it'll be interesting to see how this one actually plans out and then uh Adam Troutman was listed as the starting tight end over Greg doul Greg doul was one of those guys who started to flash in his rookie year but then he's had some injuries uh I thought you know a year or two they were I when Payton first showed up he was talking about like oh I could use doul as a joker kind of like the way he used to use Tamm Hill and stuff um but we'll see what happens with that um right now troutman's listed as the starter uh the Chiefs uh C uh sorry Clyde Edwards hair is listed as the backup running back right now which I've heard bad Camp reports even though they resigned him so that one was a slight surprise and then initially they had listed Hollywood Brown and Rashi rice as their two starting wide receivers but with Brown's injury and not being there at the beginning of the year the second one's kind of up in the air will it be Justin Watson will it be uh Xavier worthy as the rookie uh you know wat uh excuse me worthy caught a touchdown pass today because he just blew by a Defender but he's just so little uh and it's tough um yeah it's he's he's gonna be good and yes he's gonna be very uh uh hill-like but he needs to he like he needs to put some he needs to put some meat on otherwise you just put a hand on him and he's just gonna go flying um one inter who else was uh I was watching that game a little bit and granted it was the third quarter but uh I mean Mel Hardman was still out there and he was the third quarter yeah but I mean this I don't know when he started if he was in the second and if he's just out there getting reps but like they were still he was still part of the offense and he still they still got mik Hardman I saw cadarius Tony you they still got cadarius Tony they still got Sky Moore so they got a lot of names and they need somebody to St but those yeah I mean out of those that you just mentioned like M Hardman kind of seems the one that's kind of proven himself more than the other the other two obviously Tony's he should be a running back or just returner or just yeah he can catch that ball but he can't catch anything else that's crazy but all right uh the Raiders right now they've listed their starting quarterback as Aiden oconnell or gner muu it's like wait what how do you list or so I guess that one is still not is still yet to be determined if uh muu has produced like seen a few different stats here and there and like he's up there with uh Trevor Lawrence stats he's up there with uh who else um there was another quarterback that signed a contract that it was like they're like why they give him the contract but because muu and it's just because he's a smaller guy and he doesn't but if I'm the Raiders like I'm okay with muu being the quarterback like I don't know we'll see oconnell wasn't super impressive like super impressive last year but he was also a rookie I mean yeah I think I think part of it is that you know what you're going to get with mchu yeah you don't for sure with AOC so um they the Raiders also listed both Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers as starters um one thing I didn't mention about these Jeet Tarts is that team certain teams do it differently some will list of starting fullbacks some have three wide receivers some have two wide receivers so uh Raiders actually listed 12 Personnel so two tight ends as they're starting and so they listed both of those guys as starters they drafted him in the first round they have to list him they can't do that as a backup come on right uh the Chargers they listed their starting running backs as Gus Edwards or JK doin so uh you know there's been so many big questions about JK dobins he's on a $50,000 guaranteed contact right now so uh maybe he'll get himself paid maybe he'll prove himself in uh you know Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins were a useful tandem in Baltimore so maybe they're going to run that back um at tight end they listed Hayden Hurst or will disley don't really care for Fantasy purposes but I thought I'd mention it and then at wide receiver they listed Josh Palmer DJ CH and Quenton Johnston as their St starters and have lad makoni as a backup now I don't know that I think this is one of those harw rookie earn your spot things because I would just be shocked if that happened yeah I and it's a it's not going to be a pass heavy offense anyway so it really doesn't matter who they list as wide receiver like next man up type of thing but yeah I makoni I think makon is gonna get his his chance and yeah we'll see all right well that takes care of the AFC we'll see how all these actually pan out but it's fun to take an initial look yeah it's fun to kind of get an idea of like ah who should be on my radar and who's like who can you sneak in off of waivers and all those even though Aaron's already taken everybody that's worthwhile everybody except for one yeah except for the one you stole all
