How many NFL teams would Tee Higgins be the WR1 on?
Coached at Tory Horton's youth camp this morning. #Seahawks second year receiver ran sprints with the kids in one portion of the session, looked nice and healthy chasing after them on 40-yard dashes.

If Ricky Pearsall played a full 17 game season, how many yards would he have?
Happy Saturday to Jalen Coker
Are we this concerned with Kenny Gainwell? [Quoted](
People forget there was a rookie WR that had 5 TDs on just 22 targets last season. Imagine a full season of a healthy Tory Horton 👀
I wonder. By trying to force the trend of 13-man personnel onto the field this year, NFL teams may be harming themselves by sacrificing offensive snaps for TE over their more talented WR‘s. It’s important to remember that the Rams pivoted to 13 due to injuries to Puka Nakua, Davante Adams, and Tutu Atwell. The decision was easy when considering their depth at TE over their shallow WR room. And yes, they remained in 13 after their WR’s were healthy, but only because they had the luxury at TE t...

Texans RB Coach Danny Barrett on Woody Marks: (via @AaronWilson_NFL ) “His role is gunna pick up. Some 3rd down, special teams, kick off return guy. But more importantly probably in the passing game.”

Saquon Barkley - every regular season touch of 15+ yards in 2025 Barkley's explosive play rate was his lowest since 2021, but he still finished RB12 in total explosive plays in 2025.
One commenter suggests selling Lamb because George Pickens is so good at contested catches that he will get all the touchdown targets. Commenter notes high ADP allows for good trade value. This is a weak/speculative take with minimal support.
Mentioned as real value play with Trevor Lawrence. Has glaring chemistry with Lawrence in his most successful year; no reason he would go back on that. Implication: Parker Washington is a better fit for Lawrence's system than BTJ, making him a potential breakout candidate.
Mentioned as Eagles QB (presumably 2026 or later). One commenter asks 'Why would I be selling Drake Maye's #1 WR?!!' in reference to AJB, implying Maye is an upgrade over current situation and should improve AJB's outlook. Another notes Maye is a much better passer than Hurts, suggesting optimism for Eagles passing game.
Discussed in context of BTJ chemistry. Lawrence is a first-read QB (throws to first read 75%+ in last 4 seasons); doesn't look downfield while pressured like Allen, Maye, or Williams. This creates a mismatch with BTJ, a deep threat. Lawrence took well to Parker Washington, whose style aligns better with Lawrence's system. Implication: BTJ's production depends on Lawrence improving his downfield vision, not just chemistry.
Not in article's sell list, but commenter raises concern: JJ should be on sell lists. Advanced metrics declining steadily; age 29 with bad knees. Kyler Murray QB situation uncertain for Vikings; if Kyler doesn't perform well, Vikings don't have QB figured out for years. JJ was thought to be QB-proof because of Darnold, but Nine (Niners) proved that false. Trading JJ is tough but worth considering under right circumstances; he's more up for grabs now than ever.
Article recommends selling AJB. Community strongly rejects: 'Anyone with any interest in competing is going to regret selling AJ Brown Top 5 season incoming.' One commenter notes if you can sell AJB as a top-5 WR given uncertainty around Eagles QB (Drake Maye) and future, it might be worth it for rebuilders, but contenders should hold. Another states AJB value is probably at peak and odds of it going up are very small, so selling now makes sense for non-contenders. Mixed: contenders hold; rebuilders/non-contenders consider selling at peak value.
Article recommends selling MHJ. strong hold. One commenter states 'I'm not selling my MHJ or BTJ shares. I'll go down with the ship.' Another suggests MHJ will be elite when he bounces out of Cardinals to a better organization, implying current situation is temporary. No specific stats or performance critique provided; sell thesis appears to be organizational/QB-related rather than talent-based.
Article lists Evans as a sell. Community split: some contenders argue no reason to sell if healthy; Evans could be a star in SF if he stays healthy. Others note his advanced metrics declining steadily and age (29) with bad knees—good for couple more years but risk involved. Fair-price discussion suggests he's valuable for contenders but risky for rebuilders. One commenter owns BTJ, Evans, and Marvin Harrison Jr. and expressed concern about article.
Article recommends selling Collins due to Tank Dell competition. Community pushes back: Collins was solid last year (not elite but not trash); Tank Dell has one leg and is not a credible threat. Commenters note Texans offense has minimal changes besides rookie OL addition and Stroud's haircut. Collins is still a buy for many; article's reasoning (Dell competition) is weak. One commenter traded Collins + ETN for AJ Brown + Chase Brown + 2.09, suggesting Collins has trade value but may not be a pure sell.
Article lists BTJ as a sell; community strongly disagrees. BTJ had 87 rec, 1228 yards, 10 TDs as rookie (2024), then collapsed to lackluster 2025 (exact stats not provided but described as poor). Commenters cite personal tragedy (death of close friend from LSU), injury recovery fear, and improved chemistry with Trevor Lawrence in offseason as reasons for bounce-back. Coen and John Shipley reportedly impressed with BTJ in camp; chemistry described as best since rookie year. Counter-argument: Lawrence is a first-read QB (75%+ to first read in last 4 seasons) and BTJ is a deep threat, creating a skill-set mismatch; Parker Washington fits Lawrence's system better. Consensus: BTJ is at lowest...
Quentin Johnston serves as a movement and route-running comparison for Caleb Douglas. Douglas's movement, route-running style, and head-ducking mechanics closely resemble Johnston's, to the point of appearing like an impersonation. However, Douglas is not the same tackle breaker Johnston was in college or the NFL, though Douglas is a better contested catch player and ball tracker downfield. Like Johnston, Douglas is very raw as a route runner and less explosive as a mover.
Matt Harmon still likes Malik Washington despite Kevin Coleman Jr. being added on day three to compete for the slot receiver role, suggesting confidence in his ability to hold or win the position in Miami's receiver room.
Matt Harmon likes Kevin Coleman Jr. as a day-three Dolphins pick competing with Malik Washington for the slot receiver role in Miami's multi-receiver strategy to revamp the wide receiver room. Coleman shows strong route-running metrics: 66% success rate vs. man coverage, with best routes from slot (quick flats and outs). He was in space on 69% of his sampled catches, went down on first contact just 47% of the time, and broke multiple tackles 18% of the time. Positioned as a traditional slot archetype in an offense that prioritizes receivers who can catch and generate yards after catch.
Matt Harmon ranked Chris Bell as his top wide receiver after Denzel Mims heading into day two, placing him in early-second-round territory pre-injury before he fell to the third round due to a late-2025 ACL tear. Bell is 6'2", 222 lbs with 87th-percentile hands (10-inch) and strong reception perception grades: 70% success rate vs. man coverage, 68% vs. press, 77% vs. zone. He excels on back-shoulder catches and routes, evidenced by 12 catches for 170 yards and two touchdowns against UVA with multiple back-shoulder completions. Harmon views him as a better prospect than Xavier Legette, Jonathan Mingo, and Terrace Marshall, with significant upside if he develops in-breaking routes and gains strength. Bell is an excellent fit with Malik Willis in Miami's run-heavy offense with play-action and in-breaking routes; he can play X receiver role with promising press-man coverage work. Despite torn ACL recovery risk, Miami's depth chart (Jaylen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell as primary options) and offensive environment support early playing time. The Dolphins' massive offensive line (average 325 lbs, with Patrick Paul at left tackle, Caden Proctor at left guard, and Joe Jonas Savaiina in the mix) and run-game setup with Devon Achane create a play-action environment with quick crossers and sail routes that suit Bell's skill set. If he doesn't have to be an exclusive X receiver and can be used on the move with free releases and crossers, he will perform well. Harmon projects Bell will have 1-2 catches per game by November-December if he gets up to speed and locks into the Dolphins program, describing him as the big-boy receiver with the highest upside who can play outside and move around the field.
Matt Harmon is higher on Caleb Douglas than consensus; he views him as a classic fourth-to-fifth-round prospect despite being selected in the third round by Miami. Douglas is 6'3", 205 lbs with a 4.39 40-time, 91st-percentile hand size, and 68th-percentile arm length. Harmon highlights interesting tape, strong athleticism, good twitch after the catch, and solid ball tracking and contested catch ability downfield. However, Douglas is developmental with significant concerns: pathetic 31.5-inch vertical jump (9th percentile), raw route running (64% success vs. man, 67% vs. press), and he's not the same tackle breaker as Quentin Johnston. Harmon added Douglas to his Rookie Roundup on Saturday morning after initially leaving him off, indicating conviction in his upside despite the third-round selection being aggressive relative to his pre-draft ranking around Jacoby Lane (whom Harmon also viewed as a fourth-rounder). Douglas is positioned as the sacrificial X receiver in Miami's three-receiver rookie class.
Rhamondre Stevenson is preferred over Travis Hunter in a one-for-one trade comparison, suggesting he has more established value and role security than the injured Hunter.
Zach Charbonnet is offered as a one-for-one trade comparison for Travis Hunter; most would not take Charbonnet straight up for Hunter, though the evaluation changes if Charbonnet is healthy and starting week one.
Brian Thomas Jr. was a top-six dynasty wide receiver last year but is viewed as an obvious sell due to expensive valuation relative to his ceiling; he was outscored by Parker Washington last year, suggesting diminished upside.
Parker Washington has emerged as a real, solid receiver for the Jaguars, likely a top-40 receiver in the NFL; he is competing for targets with Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. is still on the Jaguars roster and will compete with other receivers for targets, limiting Travis Hunter's opportunity; BTJ remains a factor in the passing game.
There is concern that Travis Hunter may be used more on defense going forward, which would be catastrophic for his fantasy value; coach speak suggests potential defensive role expansion.
Travis Hunter suffered an injury that limited his recent playing time; his last significant fantasy game was before the injury occurred.
Travis Hunter has potential to rise significantly in value; he is currently available in the 10th-11th round of redrafts despite being the second overall pick in the NFL draft, representing suppressed value with upside if he gets playing time.
Davis Mills received one year as a starter and is now part of the backup circuit, considered one of the better backups in the league; used as a comparable for Tyler Shook's trajectory.
Carson Beck is compared to Tyler Shook as a young QB prospect with uncertain NFL outlook; described as having an unconventional appearance.
Chase Claypool was ranked ahead of Amon Ra St. Brown in July 2022 (around WR25) despite being offered in a straight-up trade for Amon Ra, but has since underperformed relative to that valuation.
Amon Ra St. Brown was a rising asset after his rookie year but not yet a top-12 dynasty receiver; he was ranked around WR31 in July 2022 but has since become a premium asset, demonstrating the value of holding through early uncertainty.
Travis Hunter is now considered a 'Dynasty doo-doo' after being a controversial high pick last year; he has fallen significantly in value and is now available in the 10th-11th round of redrafts.
Harold Fannin was one of the biggest risers last year, drafted as a third-round rookie pick who finished as a top-10 tight end due to receiving volume at the position.
Drake May has risen 40 spots in ADP year-over-year, moving from late second/early third round last year to pick one or pick two in current rankings.
Used as an example in discussion of bulk trade features on OTC FFB tool; no specific fantasy outlook provided.
Alvin Kamara is used as an example of a player the speaker owns in multiple leagues and wants to trade, highlighting the challenge of managing assets across many rosters.
Ty Simpson is positioned as a valuable late-round pick equivalent to a 28th first-round pick, useful for trading to contenders in need of a quarterback.
Malachi Fields, the Giants wide receiver, is highlighted as a risky late-round pick who became a game day inactive in week one despite draft hype.
Elijah Surratt is mentioned as a possible late-round contributor in rookie drafts, though with minimal upside expectations.
Carson Beck is positioned as a superior pick to Jeremy Bernard in rookie drafts, with the speaker willing to take him as early as pick 112 for his potential to start NFL games.
Chris Bell is noted as an overrated rookie wide receiver despite being liked by many, with the speaker avoiding him in favor of running backs and quarterbacks in rookie drafts.
Rashad Bateman is described as a roster clogger despite being a starter, with the speaker noting he spent significant draft capital on him but never plays him productively.
Wondale Robinson's emergence is cited as a rare success story, implying his breakout is an outlier compared to typical wide receiver depth chart outcomes.
Malik Washington, the wide receiver one in Miami, has potential roster clogger written all over him, suggesting limited upside despite his depth chart position.
Players going around Watson by ADP—Drake May, Jaden Daniels, Mike Evans, Roma Dun, Carnell Tate, Jordan Tyson, and Ball—have much higher floor and ceiling than Watson.
In 11 games last season including playoffs, Watson had less than 60 receiving yards in seven games and cleared 90 yards only once, showing inconsistent production.
Watson's 6th-round ADP requires significant projection that his role increases, he stays healthy, and he gets lucky on touchdowns—a risky combination of assumptions.
In 51 career games, Watson has only one game with double-digit targets and two games with more than eight targets, indicating severely limited target volume.
Through four years, Watson has maxed out at 620 receiving yards and failed to match his seven rookie-year touchdowns over the last three seasons, struggling with durability issues.
Jahmyr Gibbs has added MMA to his offseason training regimen as he prepares to take on a bell-cow role: "Conditioning-wise, that conditioning is way different from here because you use nonstop movement in every muscle of your body... so out here I barely get tired." (via @espn)
Don't sleep on a healthy and motivated Baker 🤫 (via @Buccaneers)
Ty Simpson says learning the Rams' offense is like "drinking from a fire hydrant" 😅 Simpson also praised Matthew Stafford for taking on a "big brother" role in his development. (via <http://therams.com>)

Cam Jordan is excited about the Saints' offensive depth entering his final season: "I liked how we finished last year. I like the way Tyler Shough progressed last year. You look at that WR room, you've got all these dogs. The depth is there that we may not have had last year." (via @gmfb)
Can Emeka Egbuka become Tampa Bay's version of Cooper Kupp? 👀
Erling Haaland was born to catch option routes from Patrick Mahomes.
Bears QB; Loveland's connection with Caleb cited as reason for Loveland's ADP premium over Warren. One comment: 'His connection with Caleb is why' Loveland is ranked higher. Loveland's targets and role expansion tied directly to Williams' play and scheme.
Colts QB recovering from Achilles tear; uncertainty whether he'll be ready for full season and whether he returns to form. Multiple comments cite Jones' injury as the reason Warren's production dropped significantly late 2024 and as ongoing risk for 2025. One comment: 'shitty QB coming off an Achilles tear who may not even be ready.' Warren's ceiling directly tied to Jones' health and performance.
Colts asking more of Warren this year; was 3rd in total targets among TEs in 2024 (465 yards, 4 TDs, 68.8 PFF grade Week 1-13 with Jones). Community split: bullish case notes Pittman's departure means Warren stays on field in 12-personnel and gets fed regardless of Jones' form; bearish case cites QB uncertainty (Jones recovering from Achilles tear, may not be ready) and production cliff when Jones went down last season. Warren ranked ~50-65 depending on source; some view him as undervalued relative to Loveland (2 rounds higher) and Kraft.
