Video Transcript
LIZ LOZA: Do we think Antonio Brown goes over or under 4 and 1/2 receptions against the New Orleans Saints? I am going to say, over. Yeah, Andy made a really good point on the "Yahoo Fantasy Forecast" podcast. And that was the Bucs would not have added Antonio Brown if they were confident in the health of their current receivers. We already know that Chris Godwin is dealing with a finger issue.
Also worth noting, the last time Antonio Brown was on an NFL football field, he played most of his snaps out of the slot. And in week 1 when the Bucs played the Saints, Scotty Miller, their slot receiver, recorded 5 receptions. So yeah. I'm gonna say over in this one. Tank, what about you?
TANK WILLIAMS: Ooh, Lizzie, I love that sweet music you singing to my ear. I'm going over too. Because the last time AB was on the field, like you said, he had 8 targets, 4 catches from Tommy boy.
Now, we know Mike Evans is there air yards guy. It's supposed to be windy in Tampa Bay, bear in mind you. So Mike Evans is the air yards guy. We have Chris Godwin coming back with the finger. I don't know how much he's gonna play. Even Scotty Miller was limited all week in practice.
So one thing that I feel teams have learned that whenever you have "Mr. Big Chest" out on the field, you better maximize that opportunity while you can. 'Cause you don't know how long he gonna be out there. So he gonna get those catches. He gonna get those targets-- over.
LIZ LOZA: Ain't nothing but truth there, Tank. Minty, are you feeling the big chest too?
MINTY BETS: No. I actually really like the under here. Now I know that in AB's prime he's recorded at least 5 receptions a game. But this is his first game back in a while.
Tom Brady has been great at spreading the ball around and running the ball. So I don't actually think we'll see AB a lot on the field this week. It might be an unpopular opinion. But, yeah, I'm going under here-- 4 and 1/2 receptions.
