00:00Give me a wide receiver. Instead of being available in half of my leagues, make this nearly a free

00:05square. Give me someone eight out of 10 leagues right now. Eight out of 10 listeners, viewers are

00:09going to go and be able to pick up this guy. Who's it going to be? Yeah, it's Demario Douglas of the

00:14Patriots. Look, we have the Josh McDaniels offense back. And what do we know about that offense,

00:19right? We know the running backs are going to catch the ball in the backfield. So Trayvon

00:22Henderson, check. I know the slot receiver is going to get peppered with targets. Check. It's

00:26just what they do. Go back to Wes Welker, go back to Julian Edelman, and now Demario Pop

00:31Douglas in that role, right? So Douglas has been very sharp in the preseason. He's been very good

00:37all throughout training camp. Everyone's been glowing about him. Efton Chisholm has been fun.

00:43Don't get me wrong. He could be a guy that might work a little bit and get some time today. But

00:47I think Pop Douglas, especially in PPR leagues, I don't see a lot of touchdowns for Demario

00:50Douglas in this future again. But I do believe he is going to have the opportunity to get

00:55you a bunch of catches, get you double digit points. And you could take a 10 spot and get

00:59out of there and still live to fight the rest of the day. So Pop Douglas, another guy I think

01:04is worth rostering. All right. We're getting a good response here on wide receivers. We'll

01:08get to one more wide receiver that will be available. But Joe, before I do that, I want

01:13to know about a backfield that's fluid and give me a name that, again, free square. Give me

01:19a name I don't got to fight others for in a running back position. Anyone, any team?

01:23Yeah. You're looking for somebody to fall in the end zone today. How about Chris Rodriguez

01:26Jr.? This is a backfield in complete motion. Nobody knows what the commander's backfield

01:31is going to look like. They've got Eckler. They've got Nichols. They've got Ja'Cory

01:35Kroski, Merritt, AKA Bill. And they've got Chris Rodriguez too. And the guy that they've told

01:40you is working the goal line is actually Rodriguez. So he has the most valuable touches possibly

01:47of anybody. Eckler's health is always an issue, but just, I mean, under 10% roster, I think

01:51it's kind of nuts for Chris Rodriguez because there is a scenario where he is the most valuable

01:56as the goal linebacker of any of these guys. And because there's so many of them working

02:01and every week it's going to be different, unless injury happens or somebody just really

02:05outperforms somebody else, I think this is going to be a very frustrating situation for

02:09fantasy managers all year long.

02:10All right. A lot with name familiarity, especially ahead of week one, where a lot of people haven't

02:18watched a lot preseason. Give me a familiar name, that wide receiver that's going to be

02:22available in at least seven out of 10 leagues.

02:25All right. The guy for me is Cedric Tillman. And we touched on him a little bit earlier too

02:30in the start sit. Cedric Tillman is a really good wide receiver. I love this kid in college.

02:35I loved him in the draft process. And I knew it was going to take a little time because

02:38a lot of the Browns are terrible, but Joe Flacco's in town. Joe Flacco's throwing the football.

02:43He could throw it to his team, but today an offense is going to throw it to the city.
