0:00We are going to officially make a change
0:01here for the S tier of our playoff
0:04rankings wide receivers. Um, for quite
0:07some time we've had JSN, Puganua, and
0:10Jamar Chase all in the S tier. I don't
0:12think anybody comes close to JSN or
0:14Pukanua though. I mean, these guys have
0:16been so damn good where if you're
0:19looking at Jackson Smith and Jigba since
0:22week five, yes, week five, that's about
0:25two and a half months ago, he's had one
0:27game with fewer than 20 fantasy points.
0:31Going over and looking at Puka Nua, he
0:34has been incredible
0:36with the blowup game this past week.
0:39167 receiving yards, multiple receiving
0:41touchdowns, and that was not even his
0:44best game this year. I will say with
0:46Puka though and with JSN, they're going
0:49to have a tough matchup playing against
0:50each other in week 16. Going over to
0:54Jamar Chase, Jamar actually maybe has a
0:57better schedule. He just hasn't seen the
1:01same level production with Joe Burrow
1:04under center in comparison to what you
1:06had with Joe Flackle. Like you really
1:08did have those three games against the
1:10Lions, the Packers, and the Steelers in
1:12weeks 5 through 7, skewing the data that
1:14you've had for Chase this year. Like
1:17Chase over the past three games has
1:19actually notcliped 20 fantasy points,
1:22but he is currently the number one wide
1:24receiver in the league in targets per
1:26game. So I still think Jamar Chase very
1:28easily could be the wide receiver one
1:30the final three weeks here. Now a
1:32massive L that I have to take from this
1:34past week is I had thought Aman Ross St.
1:36Brown was going to miss time. A Monroe
1:38St. Brown in week 13 had the ankle
1:40sprain at the beginning of the game. I
1:42thought he was going to be missing for
1:44two plus weeks. He plays literally the
1:47next game against the Dallas Cowboys.
1:49Obviously, a little bit banged up
1:51against Dallas, but I'm going to assume
1:53that St. Brown is 100% good to go
1:56against the Los Angeles Rams in week 15.
1:58And if you remove that game against the
2:00Green Bay Packers where he left early
2:01with that ankle sprain with zero fantasy
2:03points, St. Brown's arguably giving you
2:05the highest floor of any wide receiver
2:08not in the S tier this year. Going over
2:10to Rashid Rice, I know that there are
2:12going to be a lot of emotional people
2:14that want Rice much lower than this
2:16because the Kansas City Chiefs looked
2:19very, very bad against the Houston
2:22Texans on Sunday night. Rasheed Rice
2:24dropped that big ball at the end of the
2:26game, but Rasheed Rice still had eight
2:28targets. Rasheed Rice this season is
2:31still averaging 19.7 points per game.
2:33This team is still in the playoff hunt.
2:35So, I don't think they're going to let
2:36the foot off the gas for the fantasy
2:38playoffs here. So, yeah, I'm just going
2:41right back to the well with Rasheed
2:42Rice. I think Rice is going to
2:43absolutely crush. And then we will have
2:45George Pickkins. George Pickkins was
2:47also very disappointing on Thursday
2:49night against the Detroit Lions in a
2:51game in which CD Lamb left early with
2:53the concussion. I am making this ranking
2:56under the assumption that CD Lamb is
2:59going to miss this next week and then
3:01play week 16 and 17. Do I have anything
3:04to base this off of? No. The only thing
3:06I have to base this off of is it looked
3:08pretty nasty the concussion that CD Lamb
3:11suffered on Thursday night, but he has
3:1310 days to recover. So, there is a
3:15nonzero% chance that Lamb is back this
3:17week. And if that were to occur, then
3:20honestly, I probably would need to go
3:21ahead and move Pickins down and move
3:23Lamb up these ranks. Then Nico Collins
3:26is going to be the wide receiver one for
3:28my own fantasy team. I really like the
3:30floor that Nico Collins gives you with
3:32the target volume, the receiving yards,
3:34the receptions. What's actually crazy
3:37here with Nico is that over the past six
3:39games, you've had at least 14 and a half
3:42fantasy points in five of them. He's
3:44been at least the top 24 wide receiver
3:46in five of them and he's only scored one
3:48touchdown. So, if the touchdowns are
3:50there soon, I'm going to be a lot more
3:51excited. Week 15, we get a great matchup
3:54against the Arizona Cardinals. Sadly,
3:56I'm not going to be able to take up this
3:58matchup because I have a by-week for my
4:00own team. Then, Devonte Adams will be
4:02our next receiver. Devonte Adams was
4:04disappointing in week 14, but we know
4:06who Devonte Adams is at this point.
4:08Devonte Adams in weeks seven through 13.
4:11Let me do some quick little math in my
4:13head here. I believe if this math is
4:15correct, he has scored 11 touchdowns in
4:19six games. He was almost averaging two
4:21receiving touchdowns per game in his six
4:24game stretch. So, of course, efficiency
4:26is eventually going to hit. Um, if
4:29you're looking at this next week against
4:30the Detroit Lions in week 15, possibly
4:33is the highest scoring game of the week.
4:35Then going over to CD Lamb, my ranking
4:38of CD Lamb here is operating under the
4:41assumption that he misses this week with
4:43the concussion, comes back in weeks 16
4:45and 17 where presumably he will be a top
4:48five option for me in my ranks. Now,
4:51moving over to Drake London.
4:55Um, I have a very difficult time ranking
4:58him right now because I thought London
5:00was going to have a shot to come back
5:01this week and it seemed like he wasn't
5:04close to coming back. He wasn't
5:05practicing at all. Now he's missed three
5:07games straight. The next three weeks he
5:09plays at Tampa, at Arizona, and against
5:12the Los Angeles Rams. I'm ranking London
5:14here as if he has a very real shot to
5:17come back this week. And if he's not
5:18back this week, he's back week 16. Um,
5:21T. Higgins flying up these ranks now
5:24that you have Joe Burrow back in town.
5:25Um, if you are looking at Higgins
5:28missing week 13 with a concussion, not
5:31predictive of future injuries and the
5:33target volume has looked very good in
5:35the last four games that he has played.
5:38He's sitting here averaging about eight
5:39targets per game and the touchdowns are
5:42there as well. And pretty good matchups.
5:44You get Miami and Arizona week 16 and
5:4617. AJ Brown, we'll have to see what he
5:49does in the game tonight. Then obviously
5:50I'll update these rankings for y'all in
5:52the live stream after the game. But
5:54back-to-back games where AJ Brown's been
5:56incredible finishing as the top five
5:58wide receiver, 25 plus fantasy points,
6:01and he's actually at least 10 targets in
6:03three straight contest. Um, Tedoy
6:06McMillan was just on by, but it does
6:08look like Bryce Young is getting better.
6:10And with Tedo McMillan, he's had four
6:12straight games with double- digit
6:13fantasy points and obviously the big
6:15blow up that he had against the Atlanta
6:17Falcons and three straight games with
6:19receiving touchdowns. Um Chris Ave
6:21disappointing this past week, but I
6:23still want to believe that Ave is the
6:25number one wide receiver for this New
6:27Orleans Saints team. Even dealing with
6:29this back injury, I think he's going to
6:30have a ton of volume. Now, an issue that
6:32I'm going to have, of course, with the
6:34Saints offense is I'm going to assume
6:36that's not a
6:38great offense. Now, Jaylen Wadd is the
6:41wide receiver, too, for my own fantasy
6:43team. So, I'm very much hoping that he's
6:45going to perform quite well. It does
6:47seem like Wadd's uh touchdown or bust
6:50wide receiver at this point where he's
6:51going to get six, seven, eight targets
6:54any given week. And if he scores a
6:56touchdown, he's great. If he doesn't
6:58score a touchdown, he's very
7:00disappointing. Um I would hate to have
7:03him as my wide receiver one, but wide
7:05receiver two, I'm fine with it. you do
7:07get that really strong matchup against
7:10the Cincinnati Bengals in week 16. Now,
7:13going over to Devonta Smith, Devon Smith
7:15averaging 13 fantasy points per game. He
7:17was actually the wide receiver one for
7:18the Philadelphia Eagles early in the
7:20season, but then obviously this past
7:23week, you do have AJ Brown taking that
7:25massive leap forward and jumping him in
7:27points per game. Um, Jameson Williams I
7:29thought was going to be the next league
7:32winner with the Aman Raw St. Brown
7:34injury. Um, J Mo still has performed
7:36incredibly well and seeing more volume
7:38over the past few weeks than he's had in
7:40his entire NFL career. And I previously
7:44viewed J Mo as a boom bust flex option.
7:47That would be very difficult to call him
7:49a mustart name. But that's the way that
7:52he's trending towards. Now, moving over
7:54to Justin Jefferson. Actually, we can't
7:56get to Jefferson yet. We're going to
7:58have to put Lad Maki here. Another thing
8:00that I got wrong with these rankings
8:01this past week that I'm having to update
8:03is I thought Justin Herbert was going to
8:04be missing time with his and injury. And
8:06it looks like Herbert's going to miss a
8:08total of zero games. And with that in
8:11mind, obviously we're going to be a lot
8:13more excited about the passing volume in
8:15Los Angeles. Now, that being said, it's
8:17not like Vlad Manki has been great. He's
8:19fallen from 15 fantasy points per game
8:21as a rookie down to 13 in his second
8:23season. Then Justin Jefferson will be
8:26our wide receiver 19. Justin Jefferson
8:28so far this year, I mean, has been
8:32unbelievably bad. Over the past five
8:34weeks, he has scored 10 fantasy points
8:36one time, and that was 11 points. This
8:39past week, the Minnesota Vikings dropped
8:4131 points, and Justin Jefferson still
8:44wasn't usable because Josh Oliver was
8:46the guy. Like, it's unbelievable how bad
8:49he has been. I'm gonna have a very
8:52difficult time ranking them lower than
8:54this though because I personally am an
8:57idiot. That's why I have to wear this
8:58freaking thing on my head for this one
9:00last video. Um, and I can't rank Justin
9:04Jefferson in the 20s physically. It
9:06would pain me. And again, I'm just not
9:08mentally tough enough to do it. Now,
9:11Michael Wilson is steaming up and nobody
9:14is rooting for Michael Wilson more than
9:16I am. I'll just go ahead and pull this
9:18up for y'all. But if I am looking at my
9:21underdog baseball exposures, which my
9:23teams are absolutely crushing it right
9:27now, and a big reason why is if I sort
9:29by entry fees, my most drafted wide
9:32receivers this year, Quinton Johnson
9:34one, he was going wide receiver 79.
9:36Immaculate. Xavier Legette 2, he was
9:39going as wide receiver 63. Total bum.
9:41Devont Smith 3, he was going as the wide
9:43receiver 29. Immaculate. And then
9:46Michael Wilson four. Michael Wilson was
9:48my fourth most invested into wide
9:49receiver this year at the cost of wide
9:51receiver 80. So you better believe I am
9:55very happy that he was the wide receiver
9:57one overall in week 11, wide receiver
9:59one overall in week 14, and you better
10:02believe that I'm printing cash because
10:04of it. Now, I also very much faded
10:07Marvin Harrison. Um, but with that in
10:10mind, I can't sit here and tell you for
10:14certainty that Marv's not going to come
10:16back and Marv's not going to be the wide
10:18receiver one. I hope he doesn't. I hope
10:20this um heel injury lasts for quite some
10:23time for Marvin Harrison and we just can
10:25rank Michael Wilson as a top 10 wide
10:27receiver every week that Marv's out. But
10:30Marv may come back and we can just go
10:32back to last week when Marv did play.
10:34Michael Wilson scored 6.6 fantasy
10:37points. It's a night and day difference
10:38if you have Marvin in this offense verse
10:40not. Now Wandell Robinson's going to be
10:42our next name. Wandell safe target
10:44volume with a Malik Neighbors injury.
10:46He's had eight targets in the last six
10:48games that he's played. Um going over to
10:51Courtland Sutton. Looks like the wide
10:52receiver won for Bo Knicks. Really tough
10:55matchups though where you have to play
10:56against the Green Bay Packers in week 15
10:58and then you have to play at Kansas City
11:01in the championship week. Z Flower is
11:03trending in the right direction.
11:04Obviously, he's just so dependent on
11:06Lamar Jackson and what the passing
11:08volume is for this offense, but
11:10ultimately at the end of the day, it's
11:11going to be difficult to be excited
11:13about Flowers knowing that he has not
11:15scored a touchdown since week one. Now,
11:18moving over to E tier, we're going to be
11:20led off with DK Mechaf. I have DK Mechaf
11:23on my own fantasy team. Maybe I am being
11:26a little too optimistic here based off
11:29the really strong performance that we
11:30had this past week. sees a season high
11:3312 targets, season high 148 receiving
11:36yards. Some pretty good matchups in the
11:38coming weeks as well against Miami and
11:40at Detroit where those games should be
11:42relatively high scoring. Um Stefon Diggs
11:45obviously was much better when you add
11:47no Kan Booty in New England. Over the
11:50past two weeks, Diggs has scored four
11:52and 5.6 fantasy points, but you do get
11:55the revenge game against Buffalo this
11:57next week, which obviously we saw
11:59earlier in the season. Stefon Diggs have
12:02a season high 12 targets, 10 receptions,
12:05146 receiving yards, and 24 and a half
12:08fantasy points. All of which were season
12:10highs for him. Mcbuka will be our next
12:13name. Ibuka has turned to crap. Like I
12:15he's turned into egg cuckoo. I I don't
12:19even know. I'm an idiot. But um the
12:21volume is still there, but the
12:22efficiency has gone down the drain. Like
12:26if you look at what he has done week six
12:29onwards, he has had one game with double
12:31digit fantasy points, he's still seeing
12:34so much volume and he's still averaging
12:3613.3 fantasy points per game this year
12:39that I want to give him the benefit of
12:41the doubt. But dear God, um Christian
12:44Watson has been great. Like over the
12:47past two weeks, he's finished as a top
12:4912 wide receiver backtoback. And over
12:51the past four weeks, he's finished as a
12:53top 12 wide receiver three times. Now,
12:56with that being said, it's all off of
12:58touchdowns, not off of volume
13:00whatsoever. Like, realistically, he's
13:02had 26 targets and five touchdowns over
13:04the past month. That is going to go
13:06downwards. And you have Jaden Reed as
13:08well back in this offense taking work
13:10and just spreading it out even more. Um,
13:13Terry McLaren, Debo Samuel will be our
13:15next two names. Um, if you're looking at
13:17both these Washington players, it it's
13:20over. Like I I don't know if I'm
13:21overreacting because how bad they were
13:24this past week. They got shut out and
13:27lost 31 by 31 points to JJ McCarthy. You
13:32have a tough match up against Philly in
13:33week 16, but you do get a great matchup
13:36against the Dallas Cowboys in week 17.
13:39Michael Pitman Jr. I drafted in a ton of
13:41basketball drafts. I really hope he's
13:43better than this. He's been great this
13:45year. The holdup I'm going to have with
13:47Pitman though is you now have a no-name
13:50quarterback under center. You have a
13:52really tough matchup this week against
13:54the Seattle Seahawks where I would
13:56assume the Indianapolis Colts are
13:58doubledigit dogs. So the Indianapolis
14:01Colts options sadly have to get nuked.
14:04Mike Evans is going to be our next
14:06player. I mean it's crazy. Mike Evans
14:08got dropped in my fantasy league. I had
14:11an open injured reserve slot and I still
14:14was not smart enough to be the guy to
14:16pick up Mike Evans for God knows why.
14:19Like I complete laps in judgment because
14:22Mike Evans could come out here, he could
14:24crush in week 15 and then turn into a
14:27player that you're very excited about
14:29starting in weeks 16 and 17. Now, please
14:33do not start him this week. It's just
14:35going to be way too risky. But if he
14:37plays this week, it's going to give you
14:39a great idea on what you're doing in the
14:42semifinals and the finals. Um, Garrett
14:44Wilson, the report came out saying that
14:47he is probably going to come back this
14:49season, but again, when they tell us
14:51he's going to come back this year, we
14:53don't know if that means he's coming
14:54back in week 18 for a single game.
14:57Marvin Harrison, I'm not a Marv guy
15:00whatsoever. It, in my mind, is very
15:03clear that Michael Wilson is the better
15:05wide receiver between the two.
15:07But if Marv comes back, he's the guy
15:09with all the draft capital. He's the guy
15:10that they invested into, and you could
15:12see Marv being the wide receiver one
15:13again. Now, dropping down to our F tier,
15:17you had Brian Thomas leading the
15:18Jacksonville Jaguars and receiving this
15:20past week, but um Jacobe Meyers is the
15:23guy leading them in targets while at the
15:25same time they are manufacturing
15:27touches, getting Jacobe Meyers what I
15:30mean, three carries as well. So, I would
15:34go ahead and I would say that Jacob's
15:36still the wide receiver one here in
15:38Jacksonville. Looking at the matchups,
15:40you'd have a really tough spot against
15:41the Denver Broncos in week 16. Um, Alec
15:44Pierce had been playing quite well over
15:48the past month, but the injury to Daniel
15:50Jones is just going to nuke him. Um
15:52Jawan Jennings, it's very difficult to
15:55come out here and say that we know he is
15:57great going into the future. Even though
15:59he's had the past five weeks averaging
16:01about 14 fantasy points per game and
16:03look like a top 24 receiver, he hasn't
16:06had a single game with 10 plus targets
16:09since week two and he's really been
16:11living off those receiving touchdowns
16:12over the past month. Um, Chris Godwin
16:15expanding his role slowly, maybe turning
16:18into the wide receiver one in Tampa. But
16:20the hesitation that I'm about to have
16:22with Godwin is, well, you may have Mike
16:24Evans back this week, just spreading out
16:25all the targets. Now, Luther Burton's
16:28going to be the wide receiver one in my
16:30rankings for the Chicago Bears at this
16:31point. Really tough matchups the next
16:34two weeks playing against the Cleveland
16:35Browns and the Green Bay Packers. So
16:38honestly, I don't know if it matters
16:40that much.
16:42But yeah, Roma maybe comes back this
16:46year. Maybe he doesn't. I definitely
16:48wouldn't rely on Rome in week 15 or
16:52honestly, it's going to be tough to even
16:54say that you could rely on him in week
16:5616, 17 because Rome had been so bad
16:58before the injury. Um Quinton Johnston,
17:01my number one drafted player in
17:02baseball. He had already returned value
17:04with what he did at the beginning of the
17:05year. Anything we get at this point is
17:07just sprinkles on top of the cake. The
17:09big Q come through for us tonight,
17:11buddy. Really rooting for you. But if
17:14I'm going to be honest with everyone
17:15here, Quinton Johnson, not reliable. I
17:17would never want to tell anybody to
17:18start him. Clear, really cool touchdown
17:21for the Buffalo Bills this past week,
17:23but he had three targets. Clear, I would
17:25never want to tell anybody to start him.
17:27I'd never want to tell anybody to start
17:28Jordan if he's the second option for JJ
17:31McCarthy. I mean, I drafted a lot of
17:34Xavier Worthy as well, but I'm never
17:35going to want to tell anybody to start
17:37Xavier Worthy. Never going to want to
17:39tell anybody to start Romeo Dos, Ricky
17:41Pier, Saul, Jaden Reed, Kenan Allen, DJ
17:43Moore, like all really, the only wide
17:47receivers that I'd want to tell you to
17:49start would be the guys in F tier or
17:53above. Like, if you're having to dip
17:55down below that, I honestly question how
17:58you even made the playoffs if we're
17:59going to be honest with each other. But
18:02I really appreciate y'all and really
18:04hope that I was able to help you out in
18:05some way. Again, I want to remind you if
18:08you made the playoffs, you're welcome. I
18:10can take all responsibility for it. I'm
18:13the reason you got there. However, if
18:15you missed the playoffs, you need to do
18:17a better job managing your fantasy
18:19football team. I take zero
18:21responsibility for you not making it.
18:23Much love, ladies and gentlemen. really
18:25appreciate you and I'll see you in the
18:26live stream later
