00:00basically we're going to tell you some some players we'll give you some props and then we'll

00:03talk about if joe thinks it's going to happen or not let's start with baker mayfield i love doing

00:07this because a lot of times you say smash that's my favorite word baker mayfield passing yards over

00:12under 38 25 and a half come on now he smashed this last season minus 114 is your standard number here

00:19joe i mean thoughts let me let me present it this way how does he not hit this number barring injury

00:25well i think i can tell you why it's play go i think i can tell you why it's lower uh he's gone

00:32over 4 000 yards two years in a row in tampa and he's changed offensive coordinators in multiple

00:37years there too right it was canales first right and then it was liam cone last year and now this

00:42year it's gonna be another one so this is why it's set lower i just want everybody to understand the

00:46thought process here it's third different offensive coordinator in three years fair uh tristan worth's

00:51injury fair chris godwin injury to start the year fair rookie wide receiver emek egg buka fair

00:56all that is good reasoning of why you might want to take this down a peg but this is still a smash

01:02for me uh at 38 i mean i'm going over here because i feel like there's just no way this offense isn't

01:09built to go over 4 000 for baker mayfield again it's very heavy towards throwing the football mike evans

01:15is still there emek buka is extraordinary talent so i know there's some injuries and i know there's

01:20some question marks and i think that makes sense as to the why this number is so low but it's still

01:24an over for me and i think it's pretty comfortable do i expect him to get to 4 500 again probably not

01:29but even in the fantasy pros projections uh he's at 41 70 that's comfortably clearing this mark so

01:36to me this is one of the better props on the board right now you can find this number in a lot of spots

01:41but from a fantasy perspective it's interesting too because he is going being drafted behind bo nix

01:46currently in the real-time adp on fantasy pros and that's kind of surprising to me considering

01:52bo nix has done it for one season and baker mayfield's done it for a few seasons now so

01:57we'll see how things unfold but i think this is a smash match
