0:00.0	What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Racklevin. It is Tuesday, August 24th. Uh-oh.
0:23.8	Marquess Callaway on the rise. Good luck getting him at a discount. Thank you to everybody
0:28.8	in my home league this past weekend for allowing me to get him in. I think it was like the 13th round.
0:33.2	Thank you guys. Appreciate you. Ain't going to happen this weekend after what Callaway did last
0:39.2	night. So we will talk about a couple quick takeaways here, including the injury to Travis CTN and how
0:44.1	we handled that. And then I do have, uh, let me see 10 players, uh, across running back and wide
0:49.7	receiver who I am avoiding at their ADP in fantasy football drafts this weekend next weekend.
0:57.6	Don't think things will change for these guys to be honest with you. So I'll talk about those
1:01.1	guys coming up in a little bit, but the big takeaways. Obviously, Marquess Callaway exploded,
1:06.7	caught all five of his targets for 104 yards and two touchdowns. And to do look legit in this game.
1:14.6	So how do we approach this for fantasy purposes? I still don't think it's not like we move him
1:20.2	up into like wide receiver 22 or something like that. But I do think we have to consider
1:25.6	right around wide receiver 40 right in that range. Like if you said to me, Jeff, you could have
1:30.0	Marquess Callaway or Antonio Brown be a pretty tough choice for me. And I'd probably lean
1:36.6	Callaway at this point. That's and Brown is at 42 in my ranking. So that's about where I am.
1:42.2	Now I'm not going to overreact to this as well, though. Michael Thomas still will be the top target
1:47.9	when he comes back to this offense. But this is an offense that historically, I mean, it's been
1:53.0	Thomas and Camara and who the heck else, right? So there is opportunity here to be a wide receiver
2:00.9	3 plus. I think he could be a little bit more boomer bust than just consistent, whereas Thomas
2:07.6	would be more of a consistent option. But man, I will take the shot on the boom. And it does look
2:13.1	like James Winston has won this job, by the way, if only somebody would have warned us.
2:17.9	Everybody drinking that tastes some cool aid and didn't watch the darn games last year.
