Ron Stewart argues JSN should not be in the clear top-four tier despite his strong last year because he only has one year of production compared to multi-year producers. There are concerns about the Seahawks' situation including Sam Darnold's unproven performance with a new offensive coordinator, the team's defensive reliance, tough division, and JSN's lack of red zone targets last year, making him not a clear slam dunk at pick 1.05. Stewart observes that JSN is being backed off in real-time draft picks (going pick 7 in this draft) and argues that in half-PPR scoring, he's not the 'undisputed you have to take him' at pick 1.05 every time, suggesting his ADP may be too high relative to his half-PPR value.

Source transcript excerpt
He only has one year of production compared to those other guys who have multiple years of production... JSN is also a guy who didn't have a lot of red zone targets last year... he to me he's not like a clear slam dunk 105... So JSN goes pick seven here. I think we're kind of seeing in real time people start to back off JSN. And again, it's not that he's a bad player, but like in half PPR, I don't think he's the undisputed you have to take him 105 every single time.
