00:00see if we can find some fun here in the wide receiver tight end props. I do want to focus

00:06first off on the Patriots because you never see numbers this low. Look at the wide receiver

00:10position here tonight. K.J. Osborne, 17 and a half. Jalen Polk, 18 and a half. DeMario

00:16Douglas, 26 and a half. Those are the wide receiving options for the Patriots. Now Hunter

00:21Henry does have a 34 and a half. Is there any value in any market here at the wide receiver

00:26tight end position just from a Patriots perspective for you, Tom? Yeah, it would be with Hunter

00:31Henry over three and a half receptions. It's at plus 102. He had all those yards last week.

00:36That's great. But even though I expect them to run the ball a lot, if they do fall behind,

00:41they're going to have to pass it. And if the Jets bring that pressure, which they can be

00:44good at, it's going to be Hunter Henry. He has a 6.2 ADOT averaged at the target. So

00:48he's not getting super deep downfield. Jacoby Brissett could look to those easy passes.

00:52So over three and a half at plus 102 is probably the safest option. We're not expecting a massive

00:56amount of yards. It's just like, get the ball to him, try to move the chains, keep it simple.

01:01149 passing yards for Jacoby Brissett last week against Seattle. 109 of them went to

01:07Hunter Henry, who had eight grabs on 12 targets. Austin Hooper, the backup tight end, was the

01:14leading receiver for New England in week number one's upset in Cincinnati. The most receiving

01:19yards for a wideout specifically for New England this year. Ty Quan Thornton week one

01:23against the Bengals. He had 27 yards. Brissett has not broken through 150 passing yards yet

01:30this season. Aaron Rodgers not more than 180. So Tom, if we're looking at the New York Jets

01:35side of things, you mentioned Garrett Wilson. Where would you attack for those wide receivers

01:40for Dane Green? Garrett Wilson is getting his first touchdown of the year at home. First

01:46home game of the year, plus 145. Team high, 29.3% target share. His red zone shares at 33.3%,

01:53a second behind Lazard. It was tied. There was a, I don't know, stat change, scoring change.

01:58It wasn't officially a red zone target, but that's where I'm looking for him. Again, I'll say this

02:03time and time again, I'm of the belief a quarterback should keep their star wide receivers happy,

02:07and that's what we need with Rodgers and Wilson. So again, a modest amount of scoring overall,

02:12but it's probably going to be coming from Garrett Wilson today.
