Tampa Buccaneers at Kansas City Chiefs Andy, what do you got in this one?

Uh should be, should be a fantasy buffet.

I hope it is.

Uh It is DeAndre Hopkins in his second game for Kansas City after a it was a quiet debut.

But what little he did I thought looked really good as of this moment when we're speaking, um Juju Smith Schuster not actually ruled out, he is still part of this equation, he could return and be a thing.

Um You know, they got, they got plenty of weapons right now.

I feel maybe Xavier Worthy is like the receiving version of Tucker Craft, right?

Um Not alike in any way necessarily, but super touchdown dependent.

I think, I think Worthy has 26 touches on the season and five touchdowns and I think his reputation in fantasy circles is really skewed by that, by that season opener, right?

Two touchdowns and then everybody just assumed, ok, he is a wide receiver one.

Ok, maybe he's a wide receiver too, but like I am interested to see over time how the, how the Chiefs Receiving Corps plays out because II I think Worthy is gonna end up like the, the number three, number four in a in an awful lot of weeks go back to the NFL draft and how everybody reacted to when the Bills traded down and the Chiefs traded up for Xavier Worthy.

Go back and read what everybody said there.

How could the league, how could the league let this happen?

How could the Bills, how could the Bills let the Chiefs get their hands on Xavier Worthy?

I had that moment this week when I was ranking wide receivers where I had like I had Kon Coleman like a spot above uh Xavier Worthy and I was like, oh, that's a really nice pairing.

I should keep it that way by the way, like I don't think that I can slam the Chiefs for taking Xavier Worthy even if he, even if he never develops into a real deal wide receiver, they can take luxury picks and they can like take a bit player in the first round who helps loosen up coverage and occasionally we throw him a bomb and they try to do some gty stuff with him.

I'm glad you pointed out too.

It's really just the perception uh not like anything that worthy has done wrong.

The Chiefs tend to collect these guys who are um you know, you've got a, you've got a sub package for them.

They're gimmicky players, we can do some fun stuff with them, but like you're only ever one or two injuries away and the chiefs have found that out this year from those from, you need to ask those guys to do a whole lot more and then they can't do it.
