especially at contentious positions where you might be making last second decisions concerning your fantasy football teams and maybe if you haven't already drafted yet maybe preparing for that as well so will be doing those deep guys to maybe help you ascertain some of your final picks and additions to your squad will start off in the AFC with perhaps the most explosive wide receiver core in the AFC and the Chiefs then we tradition to the youngest perhaps the deepest in terms of its youth in the Packers and then we look at the Seattle Seahawks one my favorite receiving course in the NFC in the entire NFL because of my fandom for them and the Texans another interesting wide receiver group well with the addition of a very not necessarily controversial star but someone who definitely brings a lot of tension with him and then we finish off actually with an injury update in the fantasy implications surrounding the injury with one of the more exciting young rookie running backs in the league out now on the pup list but before we get into any of those segments I do want to remind you that yet again now that we are a live show there are so many more ways and features that gets

for me because I truly believe that this show is better because of you watching my faithful audience I love talking to you guys so please don't hesitate to leave any comments tips or donations what have you in the comment section without further Ado let us jump into Today's Show staying with this graphic and talking about a very interesting wide receiver group a very talented wide receiver group but maybe a little bit of internal and external issues and extra baggage that they carry with them and that is the Kansas City Chiefs now the reason why the Kansas City Chiefs is going to be a heavily scrutinized group especially in fantasy terms and for Fantasy purposes is because of the excitement surrounding it I think that this on paper translates to be one of the more exciting rosters especially because of the ways that coach Andy Reed can now utilize all of these players for his Squad especially well with the addition of the speedsters xavor worthy through the draft and Maris Hollywood Brown through acquisition from the Arizona Cardinals so this group has just become kind of almost like a playground football style group you have Rashid rice in his second year becoming quickly one of Patrick mahomes's favorite targets but overall with the addition of brown worthy that's where the Chiefs really wanted to focus focus on getting back to utilizing speed at the wide receiver position to better gain advantages over opposing defenses so without further Ado let's talk a little bit more about all of these and what to make of the excitement surrounding this Chief's wide receiver room now let's start off with the guy who has been in this wide receiver room albeit for only one year let's go to the end here Rashi rice and I like Rashi rice a lot because he's one of those receivers who's just very reliable he made himself available for Patrick Mahomes especially in the playoffs when the Chiefs looked really down and out when they needed a wide receiver to step up and truly kind of quiet the noise surrounding what was going on with the wide receiver rooms in terms of disconnection with momes and he really made himself available but I still think that caveat is I don't necessarily know if he's that focused maybe some external issues that I won't necessarily touch on but at the end of the day the bottom line is now that brown and worthy are in the squad you can't lose sight of what you were developing with padim Mahomes toward the end of the season because let's talk about rice in terms of fantasy 212.5 fantasy points he had seven top 25 five positional weekly scores as easyb says do you have experience in Dynasty leagues in fantasy football I'm not necessarily too familiar with Dynasty leagues and how they lay out but I think that in terms of different leagues I definitely would like to get into Dynasty leagues the most to see what they all about because I just like playing standard leagues maybe even some PPR leagues but Dynasty leagues have always intrig me because you get to utilize a lot more options so while it can't necessarily help you if you are in a dynasty League easb I'm sorry about that I still think that I will want to gain experience going forward in Dynasty leag because they're very exciting and maybe these Chiefs wide receivers can help you in some Regard in Dynasty leagues well with all the positions that you can UTI lie in a dynasty League let's up let's go back to Rashid rice especially because he is someone like I said who I want to see maintain it it's all about self self-awareness as well now that this wide receiver core is deeper he's also the wide receiver 8 in the final seven weeks of last season so as you can see as the season progressed as he got more comfortable he grew but like I said external off the field issues may be com into play here and also who knows now that the Chiefs got the guy they presumptively wanted how he will fit into this offense he still at the end of the day is the most reliable weapon the Patrick Mahomes has outside of Travis Kelce because of their experience together in that one year but he still is someone who I might have to wait upon now let's talk about a guy in Xavier worthy he's coming into the league the fastest 40 time in combine history always talked about in terms of speed kind of like the gadget guy but the big question about him and me being a Texas Fan should you know help me try and understand how the Chiefs will utilize him is what role as we go back in this graffic here will worthy play because he could potentially be a big star for the Kansas City Chiefs that's what they expect him to be they expect him to kind of play the role that Tyreek kale vacated really when he left Kansas City and so I don't necessarily know if he can Encompass every single facet of what the Chiefs want him to do but that being said he is very talented at Texas he add 7.7 yards after catch so we do know when he gets the ball he can be very explosive and dynamic down the field he's a very interesting vertical threat as well he did have a lot of drops kind of made up for it in his last year in Texas but it could be a concern and it could be a concern as he's worked into this offense because of the remember frustration padra Mahomes had at the nent stages of last year when he had similar issues with Rashid rice and the drops that he had so working Xavier worthy into this offense will be the hugest X Factor because he's going to be talked about a lot in fantasy football circles a lot in terms of different leagues as well like easy be alluded to and so I think the role worthy plays in this offense is integral to how people might view it in terms of who it take in fantasy because Xavier worthy could profile to be at the very least this year a tier four wide receiver he might want to take a flyer on in the latter rounds and so he's someone who you might want to keep an eye out for as well if he has gone undrafted in your fantasy league and you might want to stream him so it all depends on a week-by-week basis how Andy Reid utilizes this kind of Gadget guy because as a Texas Fan I can tell you he's not just all 421 speed he can route run he's excellent in the red zone at diagnos and coverages and he's fascinating because of that speed not in spite of it so if you are interested in Xavier worthy do be sure to do your research on him because he can be a help to you he can be a boon to you or week by week week you may have to S him sometimes and wait and see how he plays out in this Chief's offense but then the addition of Maris Hollywood Brown is a very interesting one because now you have two guys with very similar profiles and these two guys both are seen as more of vertical threats than you might want in a traditional three receiver set here because I know Rashid is a good route runner in fact it was his route running abilities that perhaps helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl very vital that overtime drive for them in key third down situations with his route running abilities can Andy Reid make this offense even more unpredictable by allowing say Xavier worthy who I think might just be the better route Runner even though he is inexperienced in NFL play to be kind of Gadget guy get him going and say reverses or jet sweeps or Little Wheel routes or something like that like they did at Texas where the utilizes speed to great effect because the reason why I'm saying that is if you view worthy as someone who can just go deep more like a Tyreek Hill then I don't think you're using him to the best of his abilities because as we've seen with Speedy receivers in the past outside of tar kill let say John Ross who first set the 40 record in the combine he did not pan out in the NFL because nobody knew what to do with him nobody knew what to do with that level of speed and they didn't necessarily view him as someone who could be a solid R Runner so they just said hey of throw you on the field maybe your speed will win on some occasions that's not the case with Xavier worthy that's why most important question about these Chiefs is their offensive structure but overall the makeup of this wide receiver room is one that should Intrigue a lot of people and Fascinate a lot of people in terms of fantasy there might may not be one guy who separates himself as the fantasy player to have I mean I have rice right now on my bench I might not even use him for large swads of the season but at the end of the day it's all going to come down to utilization because it's now a very interesting offense where you now reincorporate the speed that you feel like you were missing with these two guys and now it's up to how that plays out on the field because on paper it's a really fascinating wide receiver room but on the field it could all come falling down but it's up to you guys's try for that let me know what you think about this wide receiver room in the comments but I'll just about do it for this segment coming up next on today's show we are going to take another examination of a young deep very very intriguing contentious wide receiver room in the green bate Packers right after this short break I feel like I'm losing my mind
