What have you been seeing and hearing?
25:23
hearing?Yeah, so for me, um, this is, this is one of the hottest button topics that I think that I'm on the other side of the equation than a lot of people are.
25:32
But, um, the team really does like George Holani, which I, you know, for, for everybody talking about, hey, he's UDFA, hasn't really done much in the NFL, but we got a small sample size of him in the playoffs, the team seems to trust him when it comes to pass downs and on pass protection.
25:51
And we've seen this happen with rookies in the past, where the team doesn't necessarily wanna throw them into the fray when it comes to pass protections and pass down.
25:58
And especially for a guy like Ja'Darian Price, who doesn't have the profile coming out of college where he's had a lot of targets or that he's played much on pass downs.
26:07
And a lot of that comes back to Jeremiah Love being the stud that he was.
26:12
Uh, but at the same time, needing those reps, trying to get acclimated to the offense, I do think that that limits some of his upside, because we talk about how much targets can boost a player.

What the split's going to look like in Pittsburgh, and who you've been drafting more of right now?

The applications

are live.
5:02
Yeah, I think the applications to this are wide too.
5:04
So it's not just kind of like, I think you can apply a lot of this back to both Redraft, Dynasty, and basketball, TFS.
5:13
Like, I think this applies to every single format really that's out there because the way that it's constructed is thinking through the season-long value that the players have, but then also thinking about the individual weeks that people have when it comes to like spike weeks and stuff too.
5:27
And I think this analysis can really help people through all of those different aspects.
5:32
So really what I tried to understand through all of this process, but my initial take here was when I was looking at the data and trying to understand what's going on with Brian Thomas from last year, I realized that he started running a lot more deep routes.

Does that mean we should be all in on Parker Washington, or do you think that there's going to be just too many wide receivers involved here?
