00:00some adjustments have been made because some guys are creating buzz and one of those guys is Zemeca

00:04Egbuka wide receiver rookie here for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of the Ohio State University

00:09aka wide receiver you and Egbuka is just tearing it up right now he's getting a ton of targets and

00:16a ton of looks now look part of the reason he's getting a ton of looks and a ton of targets is

00:19Chris Godwin's not there he's out on the field and Mike Evans is an older player and those guys

00:24don't work as much in the preseason they get in their work they know what they need to do

00:28they've been in the league for a decade they are not trying to get hurt or reinvent the wheel here

00:33so Egbuka is getting a ton of work with good reason but that's a good thing because that's creating

00:38rapport and timing between himself and Baker Mayfield so that should not be understated I think if you're

00:44any sort of keeper league scenario and Egbuka is going to be out there this year in this draft not

00:49only is that rookie class for running back really good but there's a couple these wide outs we're

00:52going to talk about that are worth I think being a little aggressive on and Egbuka is one of them

00:56because I think there's potential let's say if Godwin misses a lot of time or maybe Mike Evans

01:01finally meets father time Egbuka could be one of these guys that has you know around eight value

01:08on him or something like that or nine or ten depending on the depth of your league and you

01:12could end up turning around and keeping him next year that's how good he could be so in any keeper

01:17league scenario I would be aggressive on Egbuka and redraft leagues I do think he's got that opportunity

01:22to really step up this year and so far it's a good thing that he's working with the ones it's a good

01:26thing that he's getting all those reps with Baker Mayfield directly I think that can only lead

01:30to success and we'll see how it plays itself out in the regular season do you see success for many

01:37rookie wide receivers if so maybe give us another one I don't know about many but the other one for

01:43me is Ted McMillan Ted Rowan McMillan or you already saw yesterday to make a great catch in that preseason

01:48game but he was already on our list to talk about and it's not because of that one catch it's because

01:53he's clearly going to be the alpha dog in this offense Xavier Leggett I don't find to be overly

02:00special Jalen Coker I think is a nice player Adam Thielen is 174 years old and like all those guys are

02:06going to have their roles here with Carolina and Ted McMillan is going to be the main guy the guy that

02:12you want and I think just like last year a lot of us did not see Brian Thomas Jr's breakout rookie

02:18season showing up I think people are the same way about Ted McMillan he was the first of the wide

02:23receiver selected you know for some reason he didn't get the same kind of publicity some other guys in

02:27the past have gotten but I don't I don't get it because I look at the scenario I look at the the talent

02:33and I say he's everything you're going to want here he in PPR leagues I think he's going to approach

02:38100 catches this year as a rookie and that's going to blow people's minds but I think he's going to be

02:42that good so if you are somebody that drafts let's say Bijan Robinson or Jameer Gibbs in that first

02:48round right let's say you're somebody that really wants that early running back you got to make a

02:52ground at wide receiver so when you get to round three and four you better be looking at guys like

02:56Ted McMillan guys who can outperform their draft stock guys who are going to be draft it's like being

03:01drafted as say more of a wide receiver three who could play as a two or twos or could play as ones

03:07that's how you win fantasy leagues and I think at that wide receiver position that's always

03:12what you're trying to do is target those guys at wide receiver two who you think have upside for

03:16more wide receiver three with upside for more and then same thing the guys going in that wide receiver
