=== Amon-Ra St. Brown vs. the Field ===

Arif ran a listener-originated ranking exercise: Jeremy had to say whether he would take Amon-Ra St. Brown over each named receiver. The results: not over Justin Jefferson (no), Ja'Marr Chase (no), CeeDee Lamb (no), or Puka Nacua (no). Over George Pickens (yes); Zay Flowers (unknown — Jeremy hadn't watched Flowers play recently despite Flowers leading the league in receiving yards); Drake London (yes); T.J. Higgins (yes); Christian Watson (hesitant yes — "turns out having two hamstrings that are the same strength, big deal"); Nico Collins (yes); current-year Mike Evans (yes, with apology). Parker Washington was unfamiliar to Jeremy. A.J. Brown: possible no. The bracket became briefly contentious when Arif said he strongly disagreed with some of Jeremy's answers, and Jeremy defended Amon-Ra's ability to make catches in tight windows in zone coverage as being more valuable than highlight-reel separation.

On the question of whether Amon-Ra was struggling: Jeremy said no, attributed a quiet game against Arizona to the volume of skill players to feed and noted that Amon-Ra had just had nine catches against the Packers. "If he's not pissed, that's when you have to be like, are you okay?"
