00:00The Houston Texans have struggled to find some consistency in the passing game.
00:04That goes without saying.
00:06Jalen Noel would have been a sell-high guy going into the week,
00:11but now that the two receivers are back for Houston,
00:14maybe he becomes a buy low, which is interesting because, George,
00:17I do think that he has the makings of a, like, McConkie-ish type player.
00:22Five catches, 50 yards, maybe a touchdown, maybe not.
00:26I thought he looked really good for Houston last week.
00:29My concern is, do we get caught up in the notion that Christian Kirk is coming back
00:34because they're kind of the same guy a little bit,
00:36and Nico Collins, you know, he's going to get a lot of targets on the outside.
00:40Is he even a stash at this point?
00:42What would you do?
00:44For the most part, I think most of our teams, we're not wide receiver desperate.
00:50You know, I'm looking up their schedule now for Houston.
00:52Their offense has not been that good.
00:53You got Denver this week.
00:55I know Patrick Sertain, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Buffalo.
00:58Those are all secondaries that can be beat there before you get to Indianapolis,
01:03Kansas City.
01:03I mean, the schedule's kind of nice.
01:05It is kind of nice for them, but a lot of people, they have to feed there, right?
01:08Collins, he's back.
01:09He's going to be your number one.
01:10Don't know if I care about Kirk, all right?
01:12I don't think I'm worried about him.
01:14I think, once again, you want to acquire him.
01:16As long as the price is good, I'm not overpaying for him at all.
01:20I don't expect huge things here.
01:21I think what you're looking for, Craig, is best ceiling wide receiver two, but likely
01:27it's going to be a wide receiver three for you at best here with a floor of probably
01:30just a flex guy.
01:31It doesn't do much for you here.
01:32So I'd be very careful with Noel.
01:34I don't like this offense right now.
01:36And Mecca Ibuka was the maybe ultimate sell high in September.
01:41He has come back from injury.
01:44I kind of think he is still the same guy, George, but he just hasn't performed the last
01:48couple of weeks, so now he's sort of turned into a buy low, but I would say this, George,
01:53good luck trying to get this guy from somebody else's team, you know?
01:56Like, I just don't think that with the performance that he had in September that people are going
02:00to give up on him.
02:02Now, I agree with you.
02:04All right.
02:04I think Ibuka is fine.
02:06I think the injury slowed him down somewhat, and maybe he came back a little early because
02:09of all the other injuries, but Mike Evans isn't coming back, so it's going to be,
02:13he's going to be the guy when the buy is over here.
02:16I think the other problem for his lack of production is because the offensive line fell
02:20apart, all right?
02:21And once again, Baker Mayfield has been running for his life in these last couple of games
02:25here.
02:26Hopefully they can fix that during the buy here.
02:28I think your chance to get Ibuka is this.
02:30Whoever has Ibuka right now, well, they're on buy.
02:32Maybe they're desperate.
02:33Maybe they're 2-7, Greg, or 2-6, I guess, and they need a win.
02:37So you start going to, hey, listen, I'll give you so-and-so because you need a player
02:40now because you can't go 2-7, but I want Ibuka.
02:43So I think there's chances to do that sort of thing for somebody who can, all right,
02:47fine, I can't afford to lose.
02:48You can have Ibuka.
02:49He's not going to help me this week anyway, and I need to win now, and you give them somebody
02:52who can help them win this week to stay in it.
