0:00At this point, you should already understand Chase, Puka, JSN are the S tier wide receivers. Really, there's not a lot to discuss. The only thing that's
0:08worth saying is the only chance you are going to get to take one of these wide receivers is if you have a top five pick
0:14in fantasy this year. The expectation will be the tier one running backs with Gibbs and Bejian are off the board and
0:20then immediately after you have Chase, Puka, JSN. Maybe it's worth bringing up that there are some people that are very nervous about Jackson Smith and Jigba
0:29this season and it's somewhat understandable the Seattle Seahawks do change their offensive coordinator. He does have Sam Darnold at quarterback who
0:37is noticeably worse than Burrow or Stafford, but I don't want to overthink it. The Seattle Seahawks still project to be a top 10 offense according to
0:46sports books. Right now JSN is 24 and a half years old. He's going to be 24 years old all season. And the closest
0:54comps that we have his age 23 year to on flogfantasy.com were Lamb, Puka, Jefferson, Odell. And if we look at what these wide receivers
1:03did the following year, um they pretty much all absolutely crushed. So, this is a great prospect coming out of Ohio
1:12State that broke out during his rookie contract to an extreme level, is stepping into his prime in a top 10 offense where he's going to have every
1:21single target. If I can take him at five, I'm going to do it in a heartbeat.
1:26I was actually in a draft on the live stream a couple nights ago where I got to pick him at eight, which literally
1:32blew my mind. Now moving over to the A tier of wide receivers. It's also going to be a tier of three names. A Monro St.
1:39Brown, CD Lamb, and Justin Jefferson. So these names, it's going to be very interesting on where you decide to take them in your fantasy drafts this year.
1:48Now, in the Flock League, which is the draft that I'm prepping for that I'm going to have in a couple days, we play
1:53in a 12 team full PPR double flex format. And in a league like that, I'm going to be honest, it's actually pretty
2:00damn important to build around wide receiver. So there I would be willing to take Aman Rosra St. Brown in the middle
2:06of round one and I would be targeting CD Lamb and Justin Jefferson at the end of round one as well. You can see this if
2:14you are using my draft sheets on flogfantasy.com like I'll just show youall some examples real quick. Like if you're playing in that 12 team full PPR
2:22double flex format and you're looking at my rankings for a league like this. I have St. Brown at seven, I have CD Lamb
2:29at eight, I have Justin Jefferson at 10.
2:31like they are clear targets. Now, I will say there are some other league settings where it's like, hey, you can't really
2:36consider these guys in this range. Like if you're playing in a 10 team league where you maybe start only one flex spot
2:42there, I would very clearly prefer the running backs like McCaffrey, Taylor, and Genty. But obviously that comes down to just your league settings and how you
2:50want to adjust from there. The fact of the matter is Aman Ross, CD Lamb, and Jefferson are all crushers. CD Lamb
2:57struggled this past year because he had the high ankle sprain, but he's set up to bounce back in a big time way. And
3:02Jefferson struggled because obviously he had McCarthy at quarterback, but he's set up for a massive bounce back with Kyler Murray. Now, as we move over to
3:10the Btier, this is where things start to get a little more flat. But I will remind y'all that if you already got the
3:15flockfantasy.com season pass, I know we've had a ton of questions of people wanting to know how I use the live draft
3:21assistance. If you want to download those to your computer, if you have that season pass, just hit the get overlay tool on the draft sheets page. If you
3:29don't want to download that to your computer, you can just use these draft sheets page. Or actually, you can go through and you can download them and
3:36bring those to your draft itself, which is what I plan on doing for the Flock League in a few days. And if you don't
3:42already have the season pass, um, make sure you get it. It's literally 34 bucks for you to win your league this year.
3:48And at the same time, um, you're going to get not only those draft sheets, draft assistance, but you are going to
3:54be getting weekly rest of season rankings throughout the entire year.
3:57Trade calculator, my team's page access, not only access to me, but all the other creators that you already watch on YouTube, links in the description, it's
4:05in the comment section. Code flock, you're going to get free questions that you can ask me in the live streams as
4:10well. And I'm streaming every single night until Christmas answering your questions. Now, starting off Btier, we are going to have Drake London. With
4:18London, he has garbage quarterback play, right? I could say that he probably has the worst quarterback play of any wide receiver we've talked about so far in
4:25this video, but frankly, he's had bad quarterback play over the past two years. The Atlanta Falcons have been a bad offense. Nothing changes with Tua
4:33coming over. Actually, they project, according to sports books, to be slightly better this year, but really about the same. And what has that led to
4:41London over the past two years doing?
4:43No. At 24 years old last year, he averaged 16.8 points per game. At 23 years old, the year prior, he averaged
4:5016.5, right? He's had back-to-back seasons with at least 29% of this team's targets. We know that they really didn't do much to bring in wide receiver
4:59competition. It's really just him, Kyle Pittz, and Bejian Robinson. So, the market share numbers are going to be crazy. London is a super talented
5:07player, but obviously he can't be an S or an A tier wide receiver because he doesn't have the quarterback play that a
5:13CD Lamb does, and he doesn't have the talent that a Jefferson does. Now, AJ Brown's going to be our next guy. With
5:19AJ Brown, it's the toughest profile to go through and project for this next year. I mean, I was big on AJ Brown, his
5:25first year in Philadelphia, but that was a completely different player and a completely different time. I know everybody is excited about the
5:33quarterback upgrade going from Jaylen Herdz to Drake May. Now, I will say just little warning that sports books do have the New England Patriots scoring
5:42significantly fewer points this year than they did last. And I think a lot of that had to do with the New England
5:47Patriots just having a phenomenal schedule last season that they were able to take advantage of. And this begins to be the age where we do have to be
5:56somewhat concerned of a wide receiver drop off. It's not like AJ Brown's Mike Evans 32 33, but he is 29 years old and
6:04we did see the efficiency drop off in a big time way where he fell from 3.1 yards per run in 2024 to 2.1 this past
6:12season. Now, obviously, I know everybody wants to just blame that on Jaylen Herz, but I want to point out that AJ Brown
6:19had played with Jaylen Herz for a very long time and he had been an effective wide receiver in fantasy for a very long
6:26time with Herz. So, in my opinion, I think if you're going to blame it on something, you should be blaming it on
6:31the offensive coordinator, not necessarily just Jaylen Herz. And obviously, it's a very good situation for him in New England where it's a good
6:38quarterback play, good coaching staff, very little competition. Um, I do have this slight age concern that just simply doesn't exist with London, Jefferson,
6:47Lamb, Aman, JSN, Puka, Chase, as all these guys are either in their prime or entering their prime and AJ Brown may be
6:54on the other side of that. Now, Nico Collins will be our next guy. Very similar to Drake London. The problem that you have with Nico Collins is CJ
7:02Strad, right? Yes, you have Tank Dell coming back. Yes, Jaden Higgins is going into year two, but Nico Collins is such
7:08a crusher that I'm not really worried about any competition. He's had three straight seasons of finishing as a top 10 wide receiver in points per game.
7:16Very similar to London as well. You can say like, oh, the quarterback play is bad, but it's the same quarterback play
7:22that he's had for years now. So, I think you kind of know who Nico Collins is.
7:26He's not going to be the wide receiver one in fantasy because the offense and quarterback's going to hold him back, but he's definitely going to be someone
7:32you can start out as a low-end wide receiver one, highend wide receiver two every week. Now, Malik Neighbors, our next guy, we do have the Neighbors
7:40jersey right here. I did consider wearing this for this video. Obviously, this is a player that we want to root for with his rehab because football is
7:49more fun with Malik Neighbors playing.
7:52his rookie season, he had almost 35% of the targets from a per game perspective for the New York Giants. And what was
7:59insane about that year, he was 21 years old. Malik Neighbors was 20 at the time that he got drafted. He came in, he was
8:07immediately a top 10 wide receiver in a garbage offense. And he did so with volume, volume, volume. And all the training camp stuff right now points to
8:17Neighbors looking way healthier than we thought he would. like he looks like he's realistically going to play week one. So if that's the case, we have to
8:26rank him here as a borderline top 10 name. If you told me, hey, we literally have zero health concerns, right? This
8:32dude's at 100% in mid August. In that world, he would probably be either an S tier wide receiver behind JSN or an A
8:41tier wide receiver behind Amanra.
8:43Obviously, there is injury risk though that we do have to bake in slightly.
8:47Now, George Pickkins will be our next name. With Pickkins, we are expecting him to get worse with this ranking. I want to be on the same page because he
8:55was the wide receiver six in points per game last season at 17.2, right? And we are ranking him at wide receiver 11. So,
9:03you may ask, well, Mason, why are we expecting him to get worse? And it's very simple. Let's pull up the CD Lamb
9:09card and then let's pull up the George Pickkins card and put them right next to each other. Where do we see these
9:16massive, massive spikes with George Piggin? The only games he had over 30 fantasy points last year, weeks four and six. What was special about weeks four
9:25and six? Oh, that was when CD Lamb had the high ankle sprain and he was missing time, right? So, a lot of those big boom
9:32weeks for Pickins came when you had no CD Lamb. But if you remove those games where CD Lamb um actually didn't play
9:40and we only look at the games in which you had CD Lamb in this Dallas Cowboys offense for George Pickkins, you'll see
9:47that he was still a low-end wide receiver one in points per game and very similar to where we have them in these
9:54rankings. If you ever want to do this, by the way, if you have the season pass, just go over to fogfantasy.com and you
9:58can pull this up. But yeah, we'll go through and we'll remove the games without CD Lamb for George Pickkins. And in those games with Lamb, he was the
10:07wide receiver 10 in points per game at 15. So, he is a crusher. The Dallas Cowboys could lead the NFL in both
10:13passing yards and passing touchdowns.
10:16And I know that some people have been talking about Ryan Florenoi, but let's be real here. Um, everything's going to go through these two receivers. Now,
10:23Rasheed Rice will be the last wide receiver that we need to discuss. And with Rice, he's at camp. I know we have
10:29viral videos of him going out there running routes and just looking slow as hell, but to be fair, um, this is a name
10:38in which he had surgery this off season.
10:41He had to rehab in jail. It may not be the weirdest thing in the world for him to start slow in August. Mahomes is
10:48already at camp, already slinging it. If we get Rice and Mahomes good to go fully by week 1, realistically, where is he in
10:58my week 1 rankings? Because what we saw last year in weeks 7 through 13 before the Mahomes injury and when Rice Head
11:05came back, he had scored 23, 25, 18, 9, 24, and 30 fantasy points, right? He's in his prime at 26 years old. You
11:16definitely have a lot of risk. Very similar to Neighbors. It's just a different type of risk. Rashi Rice doesn't seem like a model citizen. He
11:23doesn't seem like he's the smartest dude in the room. Like he definitely could get in trouble by the time the season
11:28gets here, but um based on what we've seen with the realistic production of him and Mahomes on the field, I think we
11:34got to run with it. And Xavier Worthy's banged up himself right now. Now moving over to a very big tier. Here are going
11:41to be the wide receivers that you cannot consider in the first two rounds. It almost doesn't even matter what your format is. I don't know if you have to
11:49start three wide receivers and two flexes and it's a full PPR league. Even in those crazy league settings, I would still not be considering the C-tier wide
11:59receivers as a second round pick. I would be excited to take any of these guys in the fourth. And if I needed to,
12:05I'd be willing to take some of them in the late third. Devont Smith obviously over the past few years has done nothing
12:12to justify us ranking him as the wide receiver 13. Last year he was the wide receiver 31 in points per game. But it's
12:18very clear why we are expecting a big jump. Two reasons. One, AG Brown is gone. That's the most important one. But
12:26two, the change with the offensive coordinator in Philadelphia this year actually does have the Eagles projecting to be a better offense this season than
12:33they were last. While they do drop Mai Lemon, a wide receiver that we will talk about later in this video, obviously
12:39we're not expecting Lemon to be AG Brown in year one. Now, Chris Ave will be our next guy. With a lav, the Saints project
12:47to be a much better offense this year than they were last. However, we should see additional target competition come in. Jordan Tyson is an incredible
12:57player. I think he may be one of the best values in drafts right now if you can get him in the seventh round. A
13:02still does have some concussion risk.
13:05Like, obviously, it was a conversation that a lot of people were having at this time last year where it was very similar
13:11to Tua, right? When Alve has had these concussions, it's been severe. It's led to him missing an extended period, and he's stacked up a bunch of concussions
13:21on top of each other. Now, he dodged all of it last year, which is phenomenal as somebody that's had brain surgery and as
13:27somebody that's had brain issues themselves, like um for the love of God, take this seriously. And I'm rooting for him to not miss time, but it is worth
13:35bringing up as a very clear risk.
13:38Tiggins will be our next guy. T. Higgins is like the old George Pickkins, right?
13:42Wide receiver two in a top offense. Um, you're obviously in a situation in which Higgins has never given you the consistency where we know we've had
13:53missed time year in and year out for T.
13:55Higgins. We've had some of these garbage seasons like 2023 and then 2024. He'll follow it and be the wide receiver six
14:02in points per game. But you do have to give him his respect because very similar to the Dallas Cowboys, Joe Burrow could lead the NFL in passing
14:10yards and passing touchdowns and everything is going to be funneled between these two names. Now, our wide receiver 16 is going to be Z Flowers.
14:18Now, congrats Z Flowers on getting the contract. You are now making almost as much money as Avery Huffman does. But in
14:26reality, the Z Flowers contract doesn't change at all how I view him. This is a wide receiver that through the first
14:33three years of his NFL career, he's averaged about 13 fantasy points per game, he's not a big-time touchdown scorer. He's definitely gotten better as
14:42time's gone on from a market share perspective, from an efficiency perspective, from a yards per target perspective. Like Zay Flowers has very
14:49clearly improved, which is why I think at this point you can look at taking him at the 34 turn. It's tough to know what
14:56the Lamar situation is though with Lamar looking pretty damn bad at the end of last year. You're going to hope that's
15:01just based on the injury that Lamar suffered. And also, you do have the risk with the coaching staff change where we
15:06don't exactly know how that's going to look for Baltimore. Now, Agbuka will be our next wide receiver. Averaging 11 and a half points per game last year doesn't
15:14tell the full story. I know that we've discussed this so much that you're going to roll your eyes when I do the same
15:19thing that I always do when we bring up Igbuka because I truly think it is the craziest thing that has ever happened in
15:27fantasy football or at least that I can remember over the past few years in terms of a rookie wide receiver season
15:34because if we look at the first five weeks for Ibuka versus the final like 12, the first five weeks he was the wide
15:41receiver three in points per game and he was averaging 20 and a half. Then afterwards, he fell down to being the
15:47wide receiver 56. Again, I've never seen anything like this. The Bucks had a decimated offensive line. Baker Mayfield was banged up himself. The offense does
15:57project to be better this season. But what's crazy with it is if we look at these two time frames, Ibuka's volume
16:06and usage remained almost identical where he had 23% of his team's targets in those first five weeks and 23% in those final 12 games. He had seven and a
16:18half targets per game in one stretch, seven and a half targets per game in the other. But the efficiency was off the
16:24charts at the beginning of the season and it got much worse. I don't know if this is due to I bua suffering an injury
16:30in week six himself. I don't know if it's due to the Baker injury. I don't know if it's due to the offensive line.
16:36Um but if we look at sports books right now, they are projecting Tampa to be slightly better this year, but not by
16:42much. Now, Tedo McMillan, this is my player. I'm going to be targeting him in the fourth round of fantasy drafts this
16:49year. I actually already have a bet made in the Flock League regarding Tedo McMillan verse Parker Washington. Um, I of the Ted McMillan side, Zufas, Parker
16:58Washington, whoever scores fewer fantasy points has to spend eight hours in a bowling alley and can take off 15 minutes for every strike that they bowl.
17:07And I'm super confident because I think McMillan is just going to be straight up crushing Parker Washington here. This is a topend prospect. We pull up his FSE
17:17grade on flogfantasy.com.
17:19Literally insane. Top level athlete.
17:22I've already gone through all the college numbers with y'all where he was one of the most prolific college receivers we've ever seen from a market
17:28share perspective. He had literally everything at Arizona. Goes to the top around one of the NFL draft. Damn good rookie season. No target competition at
17:38all in Carolina. And the Panthers project to be a better offensive unit this year according to sports books than what um they were last. So I think this
17:47is like a discount Drake London to be honest where London you're going to have to take in the second and McMillan you
17:53could possibly grab in the fourth. Now Lad Mcconkey would also look to take in the fourth round with Lad he has a ton
17:59of things going for him right Kenan Allen departs the offensive line's better. The offensive coordinator is better. So sports books are projecting
18:06out the Chargers to be a much better offensive unit than they were last. So, if the overall offense is going to be
18:12better while at the same time lad's gonna have less target competition, I mean, hell, wheels up. Garrett Wilson, I would love to come through and say like,
18:20"Oh, he's set up in a good spot. He's finally going to return value, yada yada yada." No. The fact of the matter is
18:26Garrett Wilson was a good fantasy pick his rookie year, and every other year he's been a bad one because he's played
18:32for the New York Jets. Now, yes, I know some people are excited about the transition from Justin Fields to Gino Smith. And I know a lot of people are
18:41Gino Smith apologists, right? Where they want to come through and they want to say like, "Actually, Gino isn't that bad. Um, he was set up to fail in Las
18:49Vegas, yada yada yada." Here's my take with it. Gino Smith left a team last year. The team he left won the Super
18:57Bowl. And the team he went to earned the first overall pick in the NFL draft. So, I don't care how bad his situation is.
19:04At this point, I'm on the side of Gino Smith is booty cheeks and the Jets actually have target competition now where they select both the wide receiver
19:13and a tight end in round one of the NFL draft. Now, Jaylen Wadd will be the last guy in this tier. I do want to
19:18reiterate, it's very obvious why we make these as tier list because if I had to differentiate like Jaylen Wadd to Devont
19:26Smith, I think that they are closer together than Devonte Smith and Rasheed Rice are. Despite Rice being at 12, Smith being at 13, and Wadd being at 21,
19:36they're in the same tier. I think you can rearrange this group of guys in whatever way you want. I think Wadd's a
19:42phenomenal talent. I think that he just got a much better offensive environment going to the Denver Broncos. and I'm really excited to see him in Denver this
19:49year. Now, all of these guys I would be fine with you taking at the end of the third round or all through the fourth
19:56round of your fantasy drafts. This next tier, I would hope that we can get them in the fifth round and I wouldn't want
20:03to take him in the fourth. Now, Devonte Adams obviously was a crusher last season, but he did so with touchdowns and touchdowns alone. 15.9 fantasy
20:13points per game, but we are essentially at a career low for targets per game, a career low for receptions, a career low
20:19for yards, a career low for yards per route run. Everything hinged on the receiving touchdowns. And while Devonte Adams is a red zone specialist, and he
20:27is phenomenal at that. Um, he's also about to turn 34 years old and touchdowns are the least sticky thing from season to season. So, I think
20:37there's a ton of risk for Devonte Adams, but if he were to be able to repeat what he did last season, he outscored every
20:44wide receiver in the tier above him, not named Chris Ave in points per game. So, he would be a massive value. Now,
20:51Jameson Williams, another name in round five that I am cool drafting this year, which is surprising because I've kind of been against Jameson a lot of other
21:00seasons. We obviously had the Dan Campbell change in terms of who the Detroit Lions were letting call plays um halfway through this past season and
21:11afterwards Jameson Williams all of a sudden became a consistent every week starter for you. Now that also did align with Sam Leaporta getting injured though
21:20and obviously Leaporta goes down.
21:22Jameson is going to have to step up as the second target behind Amanra. So, it will be very interesting to see is the
21:30season we had last year from Jameson Williams sticky year-over-year or was it just due to the Leaporta injury? Now, Mike Evans will be our next
21:40guy. With Evans, 10.6 fantasy points per game last season and he's 33 years old.
21:47So, these are like all the red flags that we have for a wide receiver that's completely fallen off. But, I will say
21:53the situation couldn't be better. Like if we look at Mike Evans versus Debo Samuel in this offense, like they play almost two entirely different positions.
22:03It's a very good offense with good quarterback play and an elite coaching staff. They give him good money as well.
22:10We just frankly have to hope that the substation doesn't take out Mike Evans and if he can survive that practice field, he can survive anything. Now
22:18Terry McLaren will be the last wide receiver in this tier. Terry McLaren is probably the biggest follower at wide receiver in my fantasy football rankings
22:26over the past month. Couple different reasons. One, obviously we get the Stefon Diggs signing where Diggs going to Washington does increase the target
22:36competition. That's not the end of the world though for me because really there was nobody behind Terry and if anything maybe Diggs makes this offense better.
22:44At least that's what I was telling myself. But then they lose the left tackle with Larry Tonsel and all of a
22:50sudden I become actually more concerned that this offensive line's not going to give Jaden Daniels the time that he needs to hit Terry McLaren deep
22:59downfield. So I am moving Terry down my rankings. I wouldn't consider him in the fourth round anymore. I would consider him in the fifth. Now of course that's
23:08for 12 team full PPR formats. If you're in that 10 team nonPPR league, that 10 team single flex league, like you're
23:14definitely going to need to make some adjustments when I'm talking fourth, fifth, sixth rounds, but just make sure you go get the season pass, have those
23:21custom draft sheets that you can take to your draft so you have an understanding of what range you should be taking these
23:26players based on those different variables. Now, moving over to the E tier, we are going to lead off with Roma. And yes, you may be surprised that
23:35this is the first Chicago Bears wide receiver that we are discussing. And let me just go ahead and pull up what we
23:42have with the Luther Burton updates right now because obviously Burden versus Roma Dunce is one of the most interesting conversations that we have
23:51in fantasy football. Um the last report that we had from Sheffy. He says Chicago wide receiver Luther Burton is it expected to miss the preseason due to
24:01the strained groin injury he suffered Saturday but the Bears believe he should be back for the regular season opener versus the Panthers. So if Luther Burton
24:10is at risk for that regular season opener and Luther Burton hasn't necessarily proven that he is some stud level wide receiver for Chicago. I would
24:21rather just take the healthy wide receiver with Roma Dunce because I view Rome and Burton very similarly. I think that these are guys that have flashed
24:30really high ceilings but also have had massive red flags. In the case of Rome, his rookie season, he was straight up
24:37bad. In the case of Burden, his rookie year, he couldn't play over Olam Zakias, but they both flash great talent. They
24:43both have a ton of upside and I would rather take the shot on the one that is healthy. But we will have Carnell Tate
24:51sandwiched between the two. I think Tate is a phenomenal prospect. Not only is he a phenomenal prospect, but he is a
24:58cheaper wide receiver one that you're able to get in drafts right now than what we've seen for years. People just got burnt by taking Marvin Harrison at
25:06the beginning of the second round his rookie season. So instead of you having to go and take Carnell Tate, another top
25:12Ohio State receiver there in round two of your fantasy draft this year, this is someone you can get in round six, which
25:19if you're able to do that, I think he has a ton of upside. While yes, the Titans offense probably pretty bad. Um,
25:25at the end of the day, they will be better than they were last year with Cam Warden in year two, plus the change with
25:30the coaching staff, and you really don't have any competition outside of Well Robinson. Now, Christian Watson, our next name, Christian Watson, probably
25:40the most impressive 2025 season that went under the radar we had because he came through and he was the wide receiver, 19 in points per game. This is
25:49despite at the end of 2024, at the very end of the 2024 season, him tearing his ACL. People thought, including myself,
25:57that he was going to miss all of last year. However, he managed to come back and truly be the wide receiver one for
26:03the Green Bay Packers with a fully healthy off seasonason. And now the fact that you have no Romeo Dobs, you have no
26:10Dantavian Wixs. So, Christian Watson's probably going to be like closer to a full-time player than he's ever been, I think the sky's the limit. Now, I do
26:19want to mention that Christian Watson um he is made out of paper and glass, so you do have to worry about him getting
26:24hurt, but super high ceiling. DJ Moore definite red flags, right? Um historic drop off with efficiency that we had this past season. He has fallen over the
26:36past three years from 80 receiving yards to 56 receiving yards down to 40 receiving yards per game. He had fallen from 2.34 yards per run down to 1.5 down
26:46to 1.6. And he's 29 years old. So, we've had that massive fall off for DJ Moore, but he gets traded to a very good
26:58offense with the Buffalo Bills. Now, this offense is very runheavy. This offenses uses so many different guys. We haven't seen them really feature a top
27:06target since Stefon Diggs in his prime back in Buffalo. And now that DJ Moore is on his third team, I think we can say
27:14that he is far from his prime, but ton of upside if you're the wide receiver one for Josh Allen. Jordan Tyson will be
27:20our next guy. I think Jordan Tyson is an incredible player. Yes, you do have the stigma around him in college with his
27:28injuries, but as of now, he appears to be fully healthy. And he was good enough as a prospect to go at the top of round
27:36one of the NFL draft despite him being injured pretty much through the entire draft process and missing the combine.
27:42So, um, very real injury concerns from his college days, but um, the talent is there. I will say he's the wide receiver
27:49too behind a Lave for sure. Now, I know this is going to be a shock to have Brian Thomas here as the first
27:55Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver because I'm going to be honest, this isn't the guy that's getting all the training camp buzz in Jacksonville. But
28:02what he is is he's the wide receiver that in his rookie season averaged 16.7 fantasy points per game, was the wide
28:10receiver 12 in fantasy points per game and 2.55 yards per route run. round one NFL pick that came in and absolutely
28:19smashed. Last season he was um a complete disaster. The hope has to be that last year he was just injured and
28:26this year he's going to be back fully healthy. Now Marvin Harrison here at 33, it's tough to stick up for Marv. Like at
28:34this point he's finished the wide receiver four in back-to-back seasons and the Arizona Cardinals project to be the worst offense in the league. Michael
28:41Wilson could straight up be the dude over him, but it doesn't really matter who's the wide receiver one here because the top target's going to be a tight end
28:48with Trey McBride. And now this offense is probably going to be a little more runheavy. But the talent profile that Marvin Harrison had coming out of Ohio
28:56State is a little difficult to quit. So if you wanted to look at him as early as the sixth, seventh round, I wouldn't
29:03fault you there. But I think that's the absolute earliest you could take him.
29:07And then that's also the absolute earliest you could take Parker Washington. Like every day we are getting the buzz coming out of
29:15Jacksonville saying, "Oh, Parker Washington's the straightup dude." Well, Parker Washington everybody's excited about after he averaged 10.8 fantasy points per game last season. While
29:27Marvin Harrison averaged 10.7, right?
29:29It's all been about just the difference in expectations for these two guys.
29:34Parker Washington last year had one game with 20 or more fantasy points. The year prior he had one game with 20 or more
29:41fantasy points. The year before that he had zero. So we are now going into year four of Parker Washington. He's had two
29:48games with 20 or more fantasy points.
29:50And the Jacksonville Jaguars project to regress a ton this year. Now moving over to Mai Lemon. Mai Lemon is still banged
29:59up with this hamstring. This is going to be something that we need to continue to monitor. I think that he's a phenomenal
30:04prospect. However, the Philadelphia Eagles are probably going to lean a little more runheavy. I'd be surprised if he's the wide receiver one over
30:11Devont Smith and this team at the same time does have targets that they can send to the tight end position with
30:17Goddard and Eli Sters. DK Mechaf, our next guy, 36. I mean, if we're looking at DK Mechaf in his entire career, he's
30:26never finished lower than the wide receiver, 33 in points per game. So like you kind of want to come through and
30:32give him the benefit of the doubt that he would return value if you get him this cheaply. But at the same time,
30:39Michael Pitman Jr. is now added to Pittsburgh and Aaron Rogers is another year old or so. Medaf very low ceiling but a very high floor which I would say
30:50that is I mean very shocking because obviously when you're built like Mason Dodd, people are just going to assume that the sky's is the limit. Now,
30:59Quinton Johnson is our next guy here.
31:02With Quinton Johnson, if you are listening to these rankings, it will almost guarantee that you draft him in your fantasy draft this season, which I
31:11feel comfortable doing that. I feel comfortable having him well ahead of where he goes in ESPN, well ahead of where he goes on Yahoo, well ahead of
31:18where he goes on Sleeper. The reason being is Quinton Johnston last season was the wide receiver 26 in points per game
31:27and the offense gets better with the improvements with the offensive line.
31:32The offense gets better with the improvement with the offensive coordinator and you have no Keenan Allen so there's less target competition. So
31:39there are three massive things that are benefiting Quinton Johnson. He's only one month older than Lad Mankey. He finishes the wide receiver 26 last
31:48season and you get to draft him as the wide receiver 37 if you're listening to these rankings, but he goes way later
31:54than this in your draft. So, um I want y'all that are following these rankings in your draft to come away with him 100%
32:02of the time because he's just so damn cheap it's not even funny. Courtland Sutton's our next name. Yes, I project Jaylen Waddle to be the wide receiver
32:09one in Denver. I think that's why they gave up a first round pick for him. But Sutton, older veteran, I think he has a
32:15high floor, low ceiling. I would be excited about him in a league in which you have two flex spots, but not one.
32:21Jordan Addison obviously no chance to be the wide receiver one with Justin Jefferson here. But former Belinda winner that I mean early in his NFL
32:29career, he was the wide receiver 28 in points per game, then the wide receiver 25. And ultimately what we can say about
32:35him is he's going to be much better than last season when we add McCarthy. If we want to give Jefferson the excuse for
32:42the JJ McCarthy quarterback play, Jordan Addison has earned that same excuse as well. Alec Pierce at 40 does seem incredibly low, but he is still not
32:50practicing. He had surgery this off season. That is a massive red flag. The saving grace that we have for Alec Pierce is he got paid so much money that
33:00I have to assume that the Indianapolis Colts know what they are doing if they gave him the bag. Then Chris Godwin here
33:05at 41. Godwin hasn't been relevant um in about 18 months, but at the beginning of 2024 um he was straight up elite, right?
33:14Like you look at the beginning of this 24 season before he got injured in week seven, he had scored 22, 24, 17, 13, 11,
33:22and 35 fantasy points, but he's older.
33:26This team goes through and they invest into the depth at wide receiver as well with Evans leaving. Now Stefon Diggs at
33:3342. Whit Digs. I think you could move him to F tier if you really wanted. It's about best case scenario that you have
33:38in Washington. But last year he had zero target competition with Drake May and he was the wide receiver 25 in points per
33:45game. It's going to be a worse situation this year. He's going to be another year older. He's about to turn 33. So I would
33:52expect him to be slightly worse than he was last year. Josh DS at 43. Every year this is the fantasy football industry's
33:59favorite pick. I can almost guarantee you that an FSE guy in the Flock League is going to be taking him earlier than I
34:07would. So, I'm probably going to be avoiding Jaden Reed's Ben Garbage, another guy that the fantasy industry is just propped up for no reason. But, you
34:14have no Dantavian Wixs and you have no Romeo Dobs now. So, he could be interesting. Michael Wilson, I would love to get behind. He won me so much
34:21freaking money in drafts last year, but at the same time, this boom happened when Marvin Harrison went down. Marvin Harrison's going to be back. The Arizona
34:31Cardinals project to be the worst offense in the league and you have probably a much more runheavy team now that they invest with Jeremiah Love and
34:40Tyler Algier. Michael Pitman Jr. here at 46. Hesitation I have very similar to DK Meaf is I don't think either of these
34:48wide receivers have a very high ceiling in a garbage offense. Xavier Worthy at 47 weighs 150 lbs and can't stay healthy. Jacobe Meyers at 48. um
34:58realistically could be the wide receiver four for the Jackson Jaguars, which this is an offense that projects to be much worse this year than they were last. And
35:06also at the same time, we've never seen a really high ceiling with Meyers. I'm going over to Matthew Golden. Um garbage
35:13prospect, garbage rookie season, but you get the benefit of I don't know, Dantavian Wigs and Romeo Dobs leaving.
35:21So maybe instead of a wide receiver by committee, he sees the field more often.
35:25And then Wel Robinson, KC Conception will round us out here at 50 and 51. But I really appreciate you. I really hope I
35:33was able to help you out with this.
35:35Again, I really want you to understand how to value positions next to each other and how you should be adjusting given your league settings. We do have
35:42all those custom draft sheets still available to you on flockfantasy.com for only $34. Again, that's $34 for the entire season. It's not $34 a month or
35:52anything crazy like that. And if you sign up with code flock, you're going to be getting free start trade questions that you can ask me during the season in
36:00my live streams. And I'm gonna be live streaming every single night until Christmas. So I um will leave you the link in the description. I'll leave it
36:08in the comment section for you. I really want to help you win your league this year. I really appreciate you and hope I
36:13get to see you out in the live stream later
