00:00of the year race is going to be a lot of fun this season. It's

00:04clear as day and it lines up when you consider the NFL draft

00:08was loaded with superstars on the offensive side of the ball.

00:12Three round one quarterback starting for their teams plus

00:16superstars at the wide receiver position in Malik neighbors and

00:20Marvin Harrison Junior preseason. The idea was Caleb

00:24Williams. The idea was Caleb Williams and the idea was

00:28Caleb Williams would be the man to be at plus 120 his talent

00:32going first overall and the outlook for the Chicago Bears

00:36saw him as the lead man, but all of a sudden we started to see

00:40that number be encroached Caleb struggling early on this

00:44season and Marvin Harrison Junior had as a breakout football

00:48game against the Rams for two weeks. He became the favorite in

00:52the market with Jaden Daniels also encroaching a little bit

00:56out there in this space. If we look at where the numbers sit

01:00now though through three weeks of football, it is Jaden

01:04Daniels award. Now, it's not done and dusted, but he

01:08certainly is the rightful favorite here leak neighbors

01:12though. I do think makes a really good argument of hey

01:16forget rookies. I'm the best receiver in this league right

01:20now. Let's start with those two LSU Tigers here. Lisi of that

01:24one to punch who should be the favorite? I think it should be

01:28Jaden Daniels right now and we talked about it on Monday night

01:32is because how he's elevated his game over the past couple of

01:36weeks. He's becoming more confident. He's starting to

01:40challenge defenses over the top. You saw the performance and the

01:44completion percentage Donnie. I mean that's 89% is phenomenal if

01:48he can keep even 70% over the next let's say 678 games or the

01:52attributes that he has. It's going to be very difficult to

01:55take away that from Jaden Daniels, especially if they're

01:58winning games kept right if they're in contention forget

02:01the NFC is just for a wild card. If this team is close to nine

02:05or ten wins Donnie. I just don't see even if Malik neighbors is

02:09an 11 1200 yard receiver. If Daniels is doing it on the

02:13ground and through the air and his team is winning how you

02:16how you don't make him the thing you talk about it as extra

02:18credit, right? Why do you think that Jaden Dan is a plus 125

02:21and would it be different if they were Owen three on the

02:23season, but he was still having a pretty good season. Probably

02:25not. They're two in one and they were in the national

02:27spotlight. Last time we saw him and he was almost perfection in

02:30that game, which included that late third down touchdown job.

02:32I know you were cheering loudly for it get the knee down there

02:35for McLaurin. But if we are being honest, is this now a time

02:38that we say is handicappers you buy back in on Caleb Williams

02:41that you know minus that plus 125 plus 250 now sits at a seven

02:46to one or so price where you say, okay, I'm expecting good

02:49things to happen today against the Rams defense. You get your

02:51top wide receiver back in the game. Maybe throws for more

02:54yards. I look at the wide receiver position. I say this

02:56guys Malik neighbors and Marvin Harrison jr. Both sensational

02:59both can go off, but we're relying on quarterbacks to help

03:02us go off when your quarterback you decide who's going to go

03:05off and what those play calls are going to be certainly coming

03:08in the football games. I'm a little bit more worried about

03:10neighbors because it is Daniel Jones. I think Kyle American

03:12got there and spin it by some time has a rocket arm down

03:15field. So I do give a little bit of the nudge, but I'm not

03:17down on Malik neighbors. I expected this coming into the

03:19season. Very good wide receiver. We'll see what we get at your

03:21quarterback, but from the quarterback position, I'm not

03:24throwing away. Caleb Williams just said at a seven to one

03:26price. It's dropped greatly over the first three games. I

03:28think today is a chance to bounce back with a victory and

03:31a decent performance and cut that number back down about

03:33five or five to one or less. I think the way lines up for

03:36neighbor is Daniel Jones being his quarterback actually seems

03:40to be to his benefit because Daniel Jones is terrible. So he

03:43just has to key in on him throwing the football every

03:45single time. The issue for neighbors is he could not

03:49possibly be doing any more than he is and isn't the favorite

03:53because Jaden is two and one. I am not saying Jaden doesn't

03:56deserve it. That's why I bet Caleb. I bet Kayla Williams

03:59because I expect the Bears to have a winning record and I it

04:02was not in on the rest of these teams. Maybe I'll be wrong on

04:06where Washington lands all in all big picture, but I think

04:10you make a great point Donnie on a by low for Caleb Williams.

04:14Look at their matchup today favored against what is easily

04:19the worst pass defense in the NFL yards per pass attempt is

04:23nearly 10 for opposing quarterbacks. Nobody else is

04:27above nine for the LA Rams. They allow the second worst passer

04:31rating to opposing quarterbacks there. It could be a splash day

04:35for Caleb funny enough. The same is true for Marvin Harrison

04:40Jr. Trey McBride out for Arizona. If Marvin Harrison sees

04:45double-digit targets against the commanders who actually are

04:49the second or maybe the worst pass defense opposing

04:51quarterbacks top passer rating yards per pass attempt. It's

04:54Washington who's the second worst to the LA Rams. I think

04:58there's a lot of room today unless Daniels goes to three

05:01and one for a huge shift on either Marvin or Caleb to jump

05:05right back into a pop and that's why I was going to say out of

05:08the receivers neighbors. I would take a shot on Harrison

05:11because if he can obviously step up right 130 receiving yards

05:15two weeks ago. We had 64 last week in a touchdown if he can

05:19now elevate and all of a sudden Arizona is in contention for

05:23a wild card. He's the added dimension, right? They didn't

05:26have that last year. They were a four-win football team. Kyler

05:29comes back now. He has his main target and main weapon and

05:33he's putting up dynamic numbers. I think he would get the edge

05:36over Malik neighbors in terms of that situation, especially

05:39if New York is under 500. So that's where if we're talking

05:43on that board in terms of the top five outside of Daniels, I

05:47would only take a shot for me on Marvin Harrison because again,

05:50I'm down on the Bears as a whole not Caleb and obviously Malik

05:54neighbors playing for the Giants. That's another cause of

05:57you're trying to buy into these prices too because they're

05:59going to fluctuate weekly at this point. So it's almost like

06:01you're handicapping this morning on a Sunday going boy. Can I

06:04get a good performance out of my guy to move up because just

06:06as we talk about Marvin Harrison, a plus 550 price in that

06:09awards market, loving the score touchdown today, betterment

06:11plus 110 price here and also think Kyler Murray has a good

06:14performance. So sometimes you can look forward, which is the

06:16same thing. Caleb Williams, seven and one, I think has a

06:18good day today, which means that number should be lower by the

06:21time we wake up tomorrow.
