[0:02] Speaker 1: This is the Late Round Podcast with your host, J.J. Zacharyson.
[0:11] Speaker 1: What's up, everyone? It's J.J. Zacharyson. In this episode 1130
[0:15] Speaker 1: of the Late Round Fantasy Football Podcast, thanks for tuning in.
[0:20] Speaker 1: Before we get to the trends this week, I want
[0:21] Speaker 1: to send another reminder to check out the Late Round newsletter.
[0:24] Speaker 1: The newsletter is absolutely free. Just head to lateround.com and
[0:27] Speaker 1: sign up. You get the data dump in your inbox
[0:29] Speaker 1: every Monday morning, the 15 transactions list on Tuesday morning,
[0:33] Speaker 1: an awesome matchups column from Brandon Gadula, there's a wrap-up
[0:36] Speaker 1: email from David Kitchen at the end of each week.
[0:38] Speaker 1: I think it's a great newsletter, but I'm obviously biased.
[0:41] Speaker 1: But check it out, it's free, lateround.com. The question that
[0:47] Speaker 1: every fantasy manager is wondering right now is what the
[0:50] Speaker 1: heck is going on with the Chicago Bears pass catchers?
[0:53] Speaker 1: So let's try to simplify this as much as we can. First,
[0:56] Speaker 1: I think like anything this time of year, let's remember
[0:58] Speaker 1: that we're working off of very small sample sizes. I
[1:01] Speaker 1: know it seems like I'm saying that a lot, but
[1:03] Speaker 1: it's because it's true. You know how many people were
[1:05] Speaker 1: coming after me last week about Jalen Waddle? Now, I
[1:08] Speaker 1: have no idea how Waddle's going to end his season,
[1:12] Speaker 1: but I know that one game is not going to
[1:14] Speaker 1: make or break the way that I view a player.
[1:16] Speaker 1: We've got to relax and let things play out at
[1:18] Speaker 1: least to some degree. Also, something helpful to look at
[1:22] Speaker 1: when you're analyzing an individual player is to see what's
[1:24] Speaker 1: going on with the rest of the team. Luther Burden
[1:27] Speaker 1: has not lived up to expectation this year. That's an
[1:29] Speaker 1: L for me so far, without a doubt. But there's
[1:32] Speaker 1: some comfort in knowing that neither has Colston Loveland, neither
[1:34] Speaker 1: has Roma Dunzey. This isn't necessarily a Luther Burden problem
[1:38] Speaker 1: in the Bears' offense. If those two were thriving while
[1:41] Speaker 1: Burden was getting destroyed, especially over a 3-4 game sample,
[1:45] Speaker 1: there would be a lot more worry then. Now going
[1:47] Speaker 1: back to that Waddle example, in week one, the Denver
[1:50] Speaker 1: Broncos just sucked entirely as a team. They couldn't do
[1:53] Speaker 1: anything offensively. Waddle's stat line was egregious, but so was
[1:57] Speaker 1: the entire Broncos offense. That's going to happen sometimes. Teams
[2:02] Speaker 1: have bad games. With Chicago, we've got this two-game sample,
[2:06] Speaker 1: where in one of them, they dominated offensively, they leaned
[2:09] Speaker 1: into their run game, and so many secondary players ended
[2:12] Speaker 1: up working out in the red zone. In game two,
[2:15] Speaker 1: they faced a really good defense within their division, and
[2:17] Speaker 1: it was in a game with bad weather. If I
[2:19] Speaker 1: were to point to one single problem with what's happening
[2:22] Speaker 1: with the trio of pass catchers right now, strictly from
[2:25] Speaker 1: a usage standpoint, it would be Kalief Raymond. Which is
[2:28] Speaker 1: insane to say, because he's a 32-year-old veteran wide receiver
[2:32] Speaker 1: who hasn't been super productive throughout his career. But that's
[2:35] Speaker 1: where we're at right now. The logic with the Bears
[2:38] Speaker 1: pass catchers entering the year would be that targets would
[2:41] Speaker 1: funnel their three main players. I legitimately thought that those
[2:44] Speaker 1: three guys could combine for like a 70% target share
[2:47] Speaker 1: this year. So far through two games, they have a
[2:50] Speaker 1: combined 43% target share. I mean, I couldn't have been
[2:53] Speaker 1: more off about those three players. Loveland's at a 9% share,
[2:58] Speaker 1: Adunze 12.5%, and Burden 21%. And then there's Khalif freaking
[3:03] Speaker 1: Raymond with a 25% target share. And while it is
[3:07] Speaker 1: kind of fluky, he's not going to maintain a targets
[3:09] Speaker 1: per route run rate of 26%. It's not totally fluky,
[3:13] Speaker 1: because Raymond right now is 4th on the team with
[3:16] Speaker 1: a 67% route share. No player on the team right now, today,
[3:20] Speaker 1: has an 80% route share or better. And this is
[3:23] Speaker 1: not just like an 11 personnel thing right now. In
[3:26] Speaker 1: 12 personnel this year, Adunze has a 70% route share,
[3:30] Speaker 1: Burden 52%, Raymond 44%. In week two, Raymond ran more
[3:36] Speaker 1: routes than Burden out of 12 personnel. Adunze actually had
[3:39] Speaker 1: a 92% route share out of 12 personnel. But that's
[3:43] Speaker 1: a big area where we need to see improvement with
[3:45] Speaker 1: Luther Burden. Now I'm throwing all this at you just
[3:48] Speaker 1: to say that it's been really, really chaotic for Chicago
[3:50] Speaker 1: this year. Like never in a million years did I
[3:53] Speaker 1: think Khalif Raymond would make this big of an impact
[3:56] Speaker 1: after two weeks. Sometimes you get things right, sometimes you
[3:59] Speaker 1: get things wrong. But I do deep down still think
[4:03] Speaker 1: that this is not going to last forever. Remember, Adunze
[4:06] Speaker 1: was banged up entering the season. There's a chance that
[4:08] Speaker 1: Luther Burden's conditioning just isn't there right now. He missed
[4:12] Speaker 1: a ton of camp. That seems logical enough to me
[4:16] Speaker 1: as to why the Bears might be using Raymond as
[4:18] Speaker 1: much as they're using him. If things don't change, though,
[4:21] Speaker 1: then there's almost no chance that these pass catchers are
[4:23] Speaker 1: going to live up to expectation. And I will say,
[4:26] Speaker 1: based on what I just talked about, I think Kalief
[4:28] Speaker 1: Raymond is going to have a bigger impact on Romadunze
[4:31] Speaker 1: and Luther Burden than Colston Loveland. Loveland's been getting a
[4:34] Speaker 1: lot of run. He leads that team in route share.
[4:36] Speaker 1: It's just that things haven't converted. They haven't clicked. Better
[4:40] Speaker 1: days should be ahead for Colston Loveland, but because there's
[4:43] Speaker 1: not this direct positional reason for his lack of production,
[4:46] Speaker 1: I am slightly more concerned about him becoming that beast
[4:49] Speaker 1: that you drafted him to be. And look, let's be honest,
[4:52] Speaker 1: that's always the risk you run into when you take
[4:54] Speaker 1: a tight end early in your draft. We saw a
[4:59] Speaker 1: backfield flip this past week in New England, with the
[5:01] Speaker 1: caveat that Ramondre Stevenson, who has fumbling issues, fumbled the
[5:05] Speaker 1: ball on their first drive. But when that game was over,
[5:08] Speaker 1: Travion Henderson, he out-snapped Ramondre Stevenson 32-19. He saw 62%
[5:13] Speaker 1: of New England's rush attempts, Stevenson 23%, and obviously, Travion
[5:17] Speaker 1: Henderson had that big touchdown run. The thing is, New
[5:20] Speaker 1: England couldn't completely pull the plug on Ramondre Stevenson in
[5:23] Speaker 1: Week 2, because they like using him in passing down situations.
[5:27] Speaker 1: He played two thirds of their third downs and despite
[5:30] Speaker 1: the snap share discrepancy, there was only a one route
[5:33] Speaker 1: difference between the two backs. Now I thought Henderson looked
[5:36] Speaker 1: pretty good in that game, but Stevenson was still better
[5:39] Speaker 1: at fighting for those tough yards. That's just by the
[5:41] Speaker 1: eye test. When looking at the data, that actually played out.
[5:45] Speaker 1: On a six rush sample, Stevenson saw a successful run
[5:48] Speaker 1: on four of them. On 16 rushes for Henderson, he
[5:51] Speaker 1: was also successful on just four of them. And those
[5:54] Speaker 1: are runs that resulted in a positive EPA play. My
[5:58] Speaker 1: stance is that we don't really know right now. I
[6:01] Speaker 1: don't want to throw away months of research on this
[6:03] Speaker 1: backfield after just one game and think that Henderson is
[6:05] Speaker 1: just going to take over. Especially because Stevenson was playing
[6:08] Speaker 1: over him to start that game before the fumble. But
[6:11] Speaker 1: I do think we're kind of back to where we
[6:13] Speaker 1: were during the draft. I've got them back to back
[6:15] Speaker 1: in my rest of season rankings right now, which by
[6:17] Speaker 1: the way, are available on lateround.com. I can understand if
[6:22] Speaker 1: you want to drop Marvin Harrison Jr. right now, at
[6:24] Speaker 1: least in shallower leagues. But going back to what I
[6:27] Speaker 1: said about the Bears, we should definitely pay attention to
[6:30] Speaker 1: what this team has done as a whole to start
[6:32] Speaker 1: the season, not just Marvin Harrison Jr. And what they've
[6:36] Speaker 1: done is feed Trey McBride like he's just been rescued
[6:39] Speaker 1: from a deserted island. McBride currently has a 37% target share.
[6:43] Speaker 1: He's seeing a target on over 40% of his routes run.
[6:47] Speaker 1: Just for some context, last season, when McBride not only
[6:51] Speaker 1: played part of the season without Marvin Harrison Jr., but
[6:53] Speaker 1: when he was dominating fantasy football, he was targeted on 24.7%
[6:59] Speaker 1: of his routes. There's been a more than 15 percentage
[7:02] Speaker 1: point increase in targets per route run rate for Trey
[7:05] Speaker 1: McBride from 2025 to 2026. Now, as many of you know,
[7:10] Speaker 1: I was lower than consensus with every major Arizona Cardinals
[7:14] Speaker 1: player this year in my rankings. That unfortunately did include
[7:18] Speaker 1: Trey McBride. Because if McBride maintained his peripherals last year
[7:22] Speaker 1: during a really good season, given the fact that he
[7:24] Speaker 1: ran 100 more routes than any other tight end since
[7:27] Speaker 1: at least 2016, he was going to suffer in fantasy.
[7:31] Speaker 1: Now how do you combat that lower route volume? More
[7:34] Speaker 1: volume per route run. And that's what we've seen through
[7:38] Speaker 1: two games with Trey McBride. The thing is, this is
[7:41] Speaker 1: not sustainable. I would bet my house, okay, maybe not
[7:44] Speaker 1: my house because I have a family, but I would
[7:46] Speaker 1: bet a lot that Trey McBride does not end the
[7:49] Speaker 1: year with a target on 40% of his routes run.
[7:52] Speaker 1: So if and when that starts to shift, those looks
[7:55] Speaker 1: are going to naturally funnel to Marvin Harrison Jr. and
[7:57] Speaker 1: Michael Wilson. And by the way, Michael Wilson, he's off
[8:00] Speaker 1: to a slow start too. Now, don't get me wrong.
[8:03] Speaker 1: I don't think Marvin Harrison Jr. has played well. I
[8:05] Speaker 1: watch the games each week. He looks so disinterested because
[8:09] Speaker 1: he's clearly not a focus in this offensive system. Only
[8:12] Speaker 1: Bryce Lance, Jacoby Myers, and Calvin Ridley have been targeted
[8:14] Speaker 1: at a lower rate per outrun to start the year
[8:16] Speaker 1: among relevant wide receivers compared to Marvin Harrison Jr. That's
[8:20] Speaker 1: why I'm saying that you can still drop him in
[8:22] Speaker 1: some formats. But I also think it's really important to
[8:26] Speaker 1: have that holistic view of these offenses. That after two games,
[8:29] Speaker 1: how an offense operates, it doesn't mean it's going to
[8:32] Speaker 1: operate that way all season long. And for the record,
[8:35] Speaker 1: this doesn't mean that I think that McBride is some
[8:37] Speaker 1: screaming sell. It just means the way things have gone,
[8:40] Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be that way week
[8:42] Speaker 1: in and week out. I mentioned this on the 15
[8:46] Speaker 1: Transaction Show with Bryce Young, but the Panthers right now,
[8:49] Speaker 1: they lead the league in neutral script pass rate over expected.
[8:52] Speaker 1: They're throwing it at a higher rate than any other
[8:54] Speaker 1: team versus what we'd expect, which is crazy because they
[8:57] Speaker 1: ranked 22nd in that statistic last year. But another reason
[9:01] Speaker 1: we've gotten this fantasy relevance from this Panthers offense this
[9:04] Speaker 1: year is pace of play. They've run at a faster
[9:08] Speaker 1: pace than any other team through two games, even in
[9:10] Speaker 1: week two alone. When they had a nice lead, they
[9:12] Speaker 1: were running fast. So you're getting this combination of more
[9:16] Speaker 1: pass volume than expected alongside more plays being run. It's
[9:20] Speaker 1: literally a perfect fantasy football storm. Now we'll see if
[9:24] Speaker 1: this continues, but if it does, it means a player
[9:27] Speaker 1: like Jalen Coker should be able to really stick around.
[9:30] Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's going to stick around regardless.
[9:34] Speaker 1: The 49ers cannot catch a break at wide receiver. You've
[9:37] Speaker 1: got Dajon Stribling, who's out for an extended period of time.
[9:41] Speaker 1: We thought Demarcus Robinson could be a thing for them.
[9:43] Speaker 1: He was carted off against the Dolphins. Now there was
[9:45] Speaker 1: a report floating around on Tuesday that the next man
[9:48] Speaker 1: up could be Jacob Cowing. So I wanted to dig
[9:50] Speaker 1: into the data to see how valid that report might be.
[9:54] Speaker 1: And on our very small sample, it's pretty valid. After
[9:58] Speaker 1: Demarcus Robinson left that game, and on plays when Mike
[10:01] Speaker 1: Evans and Brock Purdy were on the field, the only
[10:04] Speaker 1: other wide receivers to run even one route against the
[10:06] Speaker 1: Dolphins were obviously Deebo Samuel, but then Jacob Cowing. Cowing
[10:11] Speaker 1: actually had a really impressive collegiate production profile, but he's undersized.
[10:15] Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest issues. But this being a
[10:17] Speaker 1: trend show, he's trending in the right direction to get
[10:20] Speaker 1: more playing time with Robinson out. And data really backs
[10:24] Speaker 1: up that news story. So yeah, it appears to be
[10:28] Speaker 1: happening for Parker Washington. We got a much more neutral
[10:32] Speaker 1: game script for the Jags in week two. We got
[10:34] Speaker 1: to see a little bit more of what this offense
[10:35] Speaker 1: might look like usage-wise for most of the season. Week
[10:38] Speaker 1: one was kind of weird from a game script perspective.
[10:41] Speaker 1: And my goodness, Parker Washington had a 90% route share.
[10:46] Speaker 1: The Jags ran out of 11 personnel more in Week
[10:49] Speaker 1: 2 than they did in Week 1. But when they
[10:51] Speaker 1: were in 12 personnel, the odd man out was Brian
[10:54] Speaker 1: Thomas Jr. Washington ran a route on every dropback out
[10:58] Speaker 1: of 12 personnel. For the record, after the Jags bide
[11:02] Speaker 1: last year, which is when Washington started playing more in
[11:04] Speaker 1: that offense, Washington only had a 57% route share out
[11:07] Speaker 1: of 12 personnel. So far this season, among all wide
[11:12] Speaker 1: receivers with 30 or more routes run, Washington is 4th
[11:15] Speaker 1: in PPR points per outrun, he's 3rd in yards per outrun,
[11:18] Speaker 1: and he's 2nd in targets per outrun. He's not going
[11:21] Speaker 1: to finish the year being targeted on 40% of his routes.
[11:25] Speaker 1: But this is a sincerely amazing role for Parker Washington
[11:28] Speaker 1: in this offense, which is why I currently have him
[11:31] Speaker 1: ranked as a wide receiver 1 rest of season. Baker
[11:36] Speaker 1: Mayfield has been really struggling. He hasn't scored 20 standard
[11:39] Speaker 1: fantasy points in a game since week 10 of the
[11:41] Speaker 1: 2025 season. And his splits with and without Mike Evans
[11:45] Speaker 1: on the field are honestly frightening. Since joining the Buccaneers,
[11:48] Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has a plus. 15 EPA per dropback and.
[11:52] Speaker 1: 52 standard fantasy points per dropback when Mike Evans has
[11:55] Speaker 1: been on the field. I'm sure you need some context there.
[11:59] Speaker 1: That dates back to 2023. During that time frame, among
[12:02] Speaker 1: quarterbacks with 300 or more pass attempts, there's 54 of them.
[12:06] Speaker 1: Mayfield's EPA per dropback with Evans on the field, it
[12:09] Speaker 1: ranks tied for fourth best. The only quarterbacks who have
[12:12] Speaker 1: been better are Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, and Josh Allen. Meanwhile,
[12:17] Speaker 1: his fantasy points per dropback,. 52, that's 10th best. And
[12:21] Speaker 1: someone like Justin Fields, Marcus Mariota, and Anthony Richardson, they
[12:24] Speaker 1: rank ahead of him there. So among like the actual
[12:27] Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield's like 7th best in fantasy points
[12:31] Speaker 1: per dropback with Mike Evans. Without Evans, that fantasy points
[12:35] Speaker 1: per dropback is. 41. That's tied for 32nd. We're talking
[12:41] Speaker 1: worse than Derek Carr, worse than Russell Wilson, worse than
[12:44] Speaker 1: Jake Browning. His EPA per dropback is minus. 01 without
[12:49] Speaker 1: Mike Evans. That ranks 31st. It's barely ahead of Aiden O'Connell.
[12:55] Speaker 1: This isn't some small sample size either. He's had over
[12:58] Speaker 1: 800 dropbacks without Mike Evans on the field. He's almost
[13:00] Speaker 1: at 1,200 with him. Now, I'm not saying that this
[13:03] Speaker 1: is the problem, but I think it's a problem. I
[13:07] Speaker 1: think we're going to need multiple good performances from Mayfield
[13:09] Speaker 1: in fantasy football before we let him back into our
[13:11] Speaker 1: single quarterback league lineups. Speaking of the Bucs, one player
[13:17] Speaker 1: who no one seems to be talking about right now
[13:19] Speaker 1: is Ted Hurst. I think he's actually a pretty good stash.
[13:23] Speaker 1: He should at least be on your radar. He's actually
[13:26] Speaker 1: getting legitimate run in the Buccaneers offense. He's a 72%
[13:29] Speaker 1: route share. He's seen 17% of Tampa Bay's targets when
[13:33] Speaker 1: no one on that team is above 18.3%. And he's
[13:37] Speaker 1: actually second on the team right now behind only Bucky
[13:39] Speaker 1: Irving and expected fantasy points. He's tied with Emeka Ibuka.
[13:44] Speaker 1: That means his usage should be producing way more fantasy
[13:47] Speaker 1: points than it's currently producing. He's underperformed by nearly six
[13:50] Speaker 1: PPR points per game. He's just playing a pretty volatile role.
[13:55] Speaker 1: Hurst has seen an average at the target of nearly
[13:57] Speaker 1: 18 yards. Abuka is about four yards lower. And then
[14:01] Speaker 1: we've seen a couple of end zone targets for Hurst
[14:03] Speaker 1: as well. That's why his expected total is higher than
[14:06] Speaker 1: you'd probably expect. The Bucs are running out of 11
[14:09] Speaker 1: personnel at the highest rate in the league. That's allowing
[14:12] Speaker 1: Hurst to be on the field with Emeka, Abuka, and
[14:14] Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. And maybe that changes as Jalen McMillan gets healthier.
[14:19] Speaker 1: But Hurst, at the very least, you should keep an
[14:21] Speaker 1: eye on him. A lot of you are probably wondering
[14:26] Speaker 1: what to do with Quinshawn Judkins. And my answer is
[14:28] Speaker 1: that I don't think there's a ton that you can
[14:30] Speaker 1: do right now. I will say this. His usage from
[14:34] Speaker 1: week two needs a little bit more context than what
[14:36] Speaker 1: was provided in the weekly data dump. Judkins technically didn't
[14:40] Speaker 1: see a route share change from week one to week two,
[14:43] Speaker 1: even without Dylan Sampson. In fact, his route share fell
[14:46] Speaker 1: by five percentage points. He did, however, in week two,
[14:50] Speaker 1: see five targets. In week one, he had two. But
[14:53] Speaker 1: we know that route share is going to be more
[14:55] Speaker 1: predictive for running backs this time of year. There is
[14:58] Speaker 1: some good news here though. And this is the context
[15:01] Speaker 1: that wasn't talked about in the data dump. Judkins did
[15:04] Speaker 1: see an uptick in third down snap share on Sunday.
[15:07] Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about third and shorts here.
[15:10] Speaker 1: Judkins played 50% of the Brown snaps on third down
[15:13] Speaker 1: and five or more. That was 17% in week one. Unfortunately,
[15:18] Speaker 1: a lot of those plays resulted in more pass blocking
[15:21] Speaker 1: than actually running routes. So essentially, I just want to
[15:25] Speaker 1: see more. I want to see more of Judkins without
[15:28] Speaker 1: Dylan Sampson in the lineup. I want to see more
[15:30] Speaker 1: of the Browns in neutral game scripts, where maybe the
[15:34] Speaker 1: matchup calls to use him more on third downs as
[15:36] Speaker 1: a pass catcher. There's a chance that Judkins sees a
[15:39] Speaker 1: better route share moving forward than what we saw in
[15:42] Speaker 1: week two. And that could go a very, very long
[15:45] Speaker 1: way for his fantasy value because this Browns team isn't
[15:49] Speaker 1: expected to be that good offensively. Something that's keeping me
[15:54] Speaker 1: from ranking Lamar Jackson higher in my overall rest of
[15:57] Speaker 1: season rankings right now is how he's been deployed as
[16:00] Speaker 1: a rusher to start the year. After two games, Jackson
[16:03] Speaker 1: has one designed run. One. In 2025, even with him
[16:08] Speaker 1: being banged up, he averaged 2.2 designed rushes per game.
[16:12] Speaker 1: Right now he's at. 5. There's a downward trend here, unfortunately.
[16:16] Speaker 1: In 2024, Lamar was at 4.8 designed rushes per game.
[16:20] Speaker 1: Now his scrambling has mostly stayed the same. 2.6 scrambles
[16:24] Speaker 1: per game in 2024, 2.3 in 2025, and so far
[16:27] Speaker 1: this year he's at 7 scrambles, so 3.5 per game.
[16:31] Speaker 1: But look, we've got a new offensive system in Baltimore.
[16:33] Speaker 1: We've got a new coordinator. And there's something that could
[16:35] Speaker 1: be driving this. They're playing more from under center. 29.5%
[16:40] Speaker 1: of Baltimore's passes this season have come under center. In
[16:43] Speaker 1: 2024 and 2025, that number was 15.8%. So it's not
[16:49] Speaker 1: far from double the rate this year. When teams are
[16:52] Speaker 1: under center, there's less opportunity for design runs from the quarterback.
[16:56] Speaker 1: I actually was researching this for this episode and I
[16:59] Speaker 1: came across a sub stack called gridiron deep dive. This
[17:02] Speaker 1: guy named Robbie marriage runs it. I don't know him.
[17:05] Speaker 1: I'm not affiliated with him, but if I can shout
[17:07] Speaker 1: out any content creator trying to just get their name
[17:10] Speaker 1: out there, I'll gladly do it when the analysis is great.
[17:13] Speaker 1: And this analysis is very legit because He did something
[17:16] Speaker 1: in 2025 that was really thorough on modern offenses going
[17:20] Speaker 1: shotgun versus under center. He concluded the following as part
[17:24] Speaker 1: of it, quote, shotgun rush plays are almost twice as
[17:27] Speaker 1: likely to be quarterback rushes than rush plays from under center.
[17:31] Speaker 1: Almost 10% of all design rushes, not counting scrambles from
[17:34] Speaker 1: the gun are quarterback runs compared to just 5% from
[17:38] Speaker 1: under center. Most of which I would suppose are quarterback
[17:41] Speaker 1: sneak plays. So look, this is definitely something I'm going
[17:44] Speaker 1: to monitor with Lamar Jackson. He seems like his old
[17:47] Speaker 1: self in terms of his rushing ability. But he may
[17:50] Speaker 1: need to scramble more this year if he's going to
[17:52] Speaker 1: maintain his cheat code ability in fantasy football. That's it
[17:56] Speaker 1: for today's show, though. Thanks to all of you for listening.
