What's good, friends? Welcome in to Fantasy Focus Football alongside Field Yates and Liz Loza. Liz showed up looking fantastic.

**Field Yates** (0:56)
It is, you know what? It is very comfy.

**Daniel Dopp** (0:58)
It does look very comfy. Is it Terry Cloth?

**Field Yates** (1:00)
It will be called Terry Cloth. The claw there by Liz, no surprise. She knows it. Very fashionable from LA.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:04)
Do you think a guy named Terry came up with it? Like if I came up with that, would that be called Daniel Cloth?

**Field Yates** (1:08)
Oh, I didn't ever think of it that way.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:10)
Or a lady named Terry. I don't want to be...

**SPEAKER_1** (1:11)
Right.

**Field Yates** (1:12)
A person named Terry.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:13)
I don't know.

**Field Yates** (1:13)
What do you think? I feel like you would know that more than I would.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:16)
Liz?

**Liz Loza** (1:16)
I am going to guess that that's not how it got named. I do love that it is seafoam green and we do use towels at the seashore, so all coming together.

**Field Yates** (1:28)
That's exactly why I wear this shirt. That was the entire thought process right there.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:32)
We are really in...

**Liz Loza** (1:32)
His wardrobe as cohesive as his analysis. Wow.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:36)
Liz Loza.

**Field Yates** (1:37)
Liz is... Hey, Mike, so I would say that like five days, good enough for vacation. Five months, much more fitting for vacation. So see you in five months, Mike.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:47)
Well, actually, hold on, Mike, we do need you to come up just for one day.

**Field Yates** (1:50)
Okay.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:50)
One day, and that's only August 20th. Just meet us in New York City. Don't even come to Bristol. Just come hang out with us in New York City for a live show, Field and Liz. All four of us are gonna be there. It's gonna be a ton of fun. Go to fantasyfocuslive.com, live in New York on August 20th. It's gonna be a blast. Make sure you go grab your tickets.

**Field Yates** (2:06)
Pump for that.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:06)
And hang out with all of us. And by the way, in case you guys didn't know, today's show, some cast on ESPN 2 So if you are watching us right now on ESPN 2, we're getting loose on the deuce. I want to tell you the other places you can find us this year because we are live at 10 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific.

**Field Yates** (2:22)
Nailed it.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:23)
Today on the NFL on ESPN YouTube page, live there. We are live on the ESPN app, live in the ESPN Fantasy app, live on the ESPN Fantasy Facebook page. You can find us wherever you listen to podcasts like Apple, Spotify or iHeart. And every single Wednesday during the off season, we'll be here on ESPN2 with a bigger cadence during the regular season. So come find us for all of the fantasy football content that you are looking for, Field. We're gonna dive into a big show today. Today's show is gonna be a wide receiver tiers show. And every single year, I feel like we talk about rankings and tiers, and we kind of want to let people know there is a difference. When we talk about this, obviously a lot of people are like, where do you have this guy ranked? Because it's just easier. But the tier conversation, I think, is more in-depth and a little bit better of a way to look at how you value players. Talk to people about how, when you're looking at tiers, how do you kind of go through that process in your brain?

**Field Yates** (3:12)
You captured some of it, Daniel. But listen, I have every player ranked by position. I have a top 160, which is available on espn.com right now. So if you really want to break the tie between a Trey McBride and a Brock Bowers, you can find out how I have them stacked. We'll dive into tight ends later on this week. But the reason why tiers are valuable to me is that sometimes the difference between the first and second ranked player is very narrow. Whereas at some point, the difference between, I'm just making this up, the seventh and the eighth best wide receiver might feel a little wider. So I tend to lump players into tiers to give you an idea that if you're evaluating, I'm just making this up, running back versus a wide receiver.
