It really dawned on me at one point just how rough this outside wide receiver situation is when I see Matt Collins mess up on a route on third down and then immediately the Bills are punting the ball and do you know who's the gunner going down to try to tackle the punt returner?

It's Matt Collins Collins, dude, they just threw the ball to on third down with where Keyon Coleman is right now as an NFL player that they are only throwing out as an outside receiver and like just being a jump ball, dude, they're, they're just kind of drawn dead from the outside receiver position right now.

They're not getting a lot of separation and yeah, in the first three weeks of the season when you're playing like the Cardinals and what we know now is a bad Miami Dolphins team when you're playing those groups.

Like, yeah, sure you can, you can go ahead and, and dunk on, on bad defenses and stuff like that because I think this is a well constructed offense with, with one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

But then when you go against two pretty good defenses with good players in the secondary.

Even if the Ravens are not playing up to their standards, they still have good cornerbacks back there.

You're just gonna get thumped here like you did in this one.

I mean, Jo Josh Allen has a stat line in this game that every time I look at it, I just feel like the API or the data provider is like, like I keep wanting to refresh it because he's completed nine passes for 30 or excuse me, nine out of 30 passes in this game like that, that, that, that feels like a typo that feels like a rookie year.

Josh Allen.

That's just where they're at from an outside receiver perspective and yeah, like Khalil Shakir is a good player.

I really like Khalil Shakir but like your passing attack can't completely go down the toilet when Khalil Shakir misses a game just again when they go against good teams.

I think this is gonna be an issue.

They can, they can dunk on bad teams for sure.

Jacksonville and week three.

Yeah, you can, you can crush Jacksonville with some receivers who can't get separation consistently.

That's fine.

But and again, like the schedule is not crazy.

They do have the Jets next week.

Titans are a pretty good defense, then it lightens up before a week 11 game with Kansas City.

So I just feel like the Josh Allen experience is gonna be bumpier from a fantasy quarterback perspective more than what we're used to.

I'm, uh, I mean, I'm not, I'm not your salary cap guy, but there, there is a pretty good veteran outside receiver currently available on the trade market.

I'll just, I'll just throw that out there.

He'd look pretty good with Buffalo.

My number one thought watching the Jets offense this morning was that is not a Devante Adams unit.

That is not a unit that's Devante Adams away from salvation.

I watch Buffalo.

I'm like, yeah, you dropped Devote Adams on here and we might be cooking like everybody goes down a peg.

We get some players like they can't get open.

We dropped Devote Adams in here, but obviously it sounds like he just wants to play with quarterbacks that he's played with before.
