D.J. Moore
PositiveValue0:02
DJ Moore is ranked WR 28 overall (62nd overall) and represents a bargain in the 4th-5th round with potential to be a league winner if Josh Allen targets him as his alpha receiver.
Insight pageNegativeBust0:03
The analyst has significant question marks about DJ Moore's consistency and doesn't trust him, noting he had a mediocre 682 yards and 6 touchdowns last year in his ninth season.
Insight pagePositiveRole0:03
The Bills spread the ball around to multiple receivers like Khalil Shakir, making it unclear if DJ Moore will be the primary target despite joining Josh Allen's offense.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue0:05
Kenneth Walker is ranked RB 14 overall (25th overall) with 2nd-3rd round ADP, representing decent value as a capable workhorse running back in a good situation.
Insight pagePositiveProjection0:05
Walker had over 1,000 yards last year and performed well in the Super Bowl, showing he's a fully capable workhorse running back.
Insight pageNegativeInjury0:05
Kenneth Walker has shown a share of nagging injuries, which is a concern for his durability.
Insight pageNegativeBust0:05
The Kansas City Chiefs have a poor track record with running backs—the last Chiefs RB to finish in the top 12 was Kareem Hunt in 2018, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire busted despite being a first-round pick.
Insight pageNegativeRole0:06
The Chiefs plan to use Fields more at quarterback in a dual-QB system with Mahomes, which could limit Walker's usage and touches.
Insight pagePositiveProjection0:06
If Pat Mahomes relies more heavily on Kenneth Walker to run the ball following his knee injury recovery, Walker could emerge as a workhorse with significant upside.
Insight pageMike Evans
PositiveValue0:01
Evans is ranked WR 26 overall (54th overall) and represents good value despite being 13 seasons in. He had 11 straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons and is hearing positive news from training camp.
Insight pagePositiveRole0:01
Evans is on a crowded 49ers offense with multiple receiving options including Tongs, Kittle, Pearsall, and McCaffrey, limiting his target share potential.
Insight pageNegativeBust0:02
The analyst is personally fading Evans because he doesn't like older players going to new teams, despite acknowledging the value.

0:52These Picks Okay So Now I Don't Have Any Stock On These Guys I Ended Up Doing Four Drafts My Main Leagues
0:58Okay I May Do A Couple Other Drafts I Don't Have These Guys And I'll Tell You Why I Don't Have Have
1:04Them But I'll Tell You Why They Have Upside Okay The First One Is Mike Evans Apparently He's Been Absolutely Tearing Up
1:11Training Camp Or The Spring Training And This Guy Looks Good Like He's Basically Unguardable Okay They Signed A Three Year 42
1:17Million With The 49ers He's In His 13th Season Okay So I Thought That He Was Done Like He Was Good But
1:24Last Year Had The Injury Played I Think Eight Games Something Like That And What Happened Was He Had Like 11 Shots
1:30Straight 1,000 Yard Receiving Season That's Pretty Phenomenal We Gotta Give Him Credit Where Credit Is Due Okay Now He's Sitting As
1:3754 Overall In Fantasy Wide Receiver 26 But He's Old And He's On The 49ers And There's A Lot Of Mous To
1:43Feed There They Got Tongs There Who's Gonna Probably Step Up At Tight End Kittle Once He Gets Back Hopefully He's Not
1:50Banged Up Right Got Pearsall Hopefully He Stays Healthy All Year They've Got Some Receiving Options Obviously McCaffrey If He Stays Healthy
1:56I Think He's Gonna Get Hurt This Year Obviously I Think He's On A Down Year There Is An Opportunity For This
2:02Guy To Really Emerge But I Don't Like Older Players Going To New Teams I'm Personally Fading Him Although I Definitely See
2:09Some Value Here Like I Said A Wide Receiver 26 That's A Pretty Good Deal Right And The Fact That We're Hearing
2:15Positive News Out Of Him I Mean That's To Be Expected Out Of A Veteran Too Right So What I'm Saying Is
2:22That Is Like I Put Him In As A Must Draft Because Of What I'm Hearing Lately Because Of What He's Done
2:28In The Past And Because He Can Potentially Do That Doesn't Mean I Must Draft Him Okay But There Is Something There
2:35A Lot Of People Rip In To Me Like Oh He's Talking About The Same Player I Have To Talk About Players
2:41That I Believe In He's Not A Player I Believe In But He Could Be A Must Draft Does That Make Sense
2:47Okay Mike Evans I Think It's Good Value I Think I'm Hearing Good Positive News Okay The Second Player This One Is
2:54Very Interesting Because This Guy Could Absolutely Go To The Moon If Targeted As The Wide Receiver One I Know That's Kind
3:00Of A General Statement But Let Me Tell You Who It Is And You'll Understand Who It Is Okay What I'm Talking
3:07About The Guy I'm Talking About Is DJ Moore Listen To This Wide Receiver 28 Okay 62 Overall All Right So Here's
3:13The Thing Right Like When You Look At ADP Is Like Fifth Round Six Round Whatever It Is And You're Looking For
3:20That Kind Of Bargain Wide Receiver It Could Be DJ Moore The Only Issue I Have Is This Right Josh Allen Has
3:26Not Because He's On The Bills Now If You Guys Don't Know Okay Some People Are Just Tuning In The Fantasy Football
3:33Season DJ Moore Is Is In A Great Situation Or Is He That's The Question Mark Because When They Signed Key On
3:39Coleman You Know Second Early Second Rounder Almost A First Rounder A Couple Years A I Thought He's On The The Buffalo
3:45Bills Do They Just Spread The Ball Around Like Khalil Shakir All These Other Guys That Suck Were Getting The Ball It
3:52Was Ridiculous Right So Now It Comes DJ Moore Who's I've Always Thought He's Mediocre People Have Called A Wide Receiver One
3:58I Guess If He's Heavily Target It Could Be A 1B At Best But If Josh Allen Decides Hey I'm Going To
4:05Target DJ Moore I'm Going To Make Him My Alpha Dog I'm Going To Feed Him Then You've Got Yourself A League
4:11Winner Must Draft Player Here For Good Value Like I Said Wide Receiver 28 Fourth Round Fifth Round Maybe If He Falls
4:18To 5 And 12 First League That's Pretty Good Value But I Have A Lot Of Question Marks Surrounding DJ Moore And
4:24How He's Going To Do Okay That's My Issue With Him Is That I Don't Really Trust Him He's Getting Into His
4:31Ninth Season Okay And He Had A Mediocre Season 682 Yards Six Touchdowns Last Year I Don't I Don't Know If I
4:37Trust Him But If Josh Allen Wakes Up In The Morning And Says I'm Going To Target DJ Moore As My Wide
4:43Receiver Won The Way Did Stefan Diggs Years Ago Then It's A Gem Okay Does That Make Sense Alright Let's Go To
4:50The Next One Here This Guy Is Like I Look At Him And I'm Just Like He's A Running Back By The
4:56Way I Look At Him And I Say To Myself Wow I Think He's A Really Good Player I Think The Situation
5:03Could Be Good It Hasn't Been Lately For Running Backs And He Really Just Like He's Kind Of Boomer Bust For Me
5:09The Way I Look At Him Right And I'll Tell You Why Okay The Guy I'm Talking About Is Kenneth Walker Now
5:16Hear Me Out Okay RB 14 25 Overall Second Third Round ADP I Think That's Decent Value The Issue I Have Is
5:22This Like Last Year 221 Attempts He Was Kind Of Held Back Last Year Because Chabronet Was Getting Work There Stuff Like
5:29That Just Over A Thousand Yards Last Year Not Bad Did Really Well In The Super Bowl Now Hear Me Out He's
5:35A Full Capable Workhorse Running Back But He's Shown His Share Of Nagging Injuries Here And There So Injuries A Bit Of
5:41A Concern My Other Concern I Have Is The Kansas City Chiefs Hear Me Out Here Before You Consider Drafting Kenneth Walker
5:48Okay And Hopefully Maybe Maybe Your League Base Get Him Why I Have Him As A Must Draft I Have Him As
5:54A Must Draft On The Potential That He Could Be An Astronomical Pinnacle Amazing Running Back In A Good Situation Okay But
6:01The Last Time A Chiefs Running Back Did Well And I'm Talking Not Even Top 10 But Top 12 Because They Haven't
6:07Finished Top 10 Since Forever Was 2018 With Kareem Hunt Kareem Hunt Had Himself A Top 12 Fantasy Point Production Year In
6:142018 That's How Long It's Been The Chiefs Just Don't Turn Him Out Again We Go Back To Clyde Edwards Zolaire Drafted
6:20In The First Round Years Ago Completely Busted Maybe It Was A Talent Thing Maybe It Was A Talent Thing Maybe It's
6:26A Chiefs Thing Spreading The Ball Around And Just Not Integrating A Full Workhorse Running Back That Being Said Maybe Pat Mahomes
6:33Coming Off That Major Leg Injury Is Going Or Knee Injury Whatever It Was Is Going To Rely More Heavily On Kenneth
6:39Walker They Said They're Going To Use Fields More At Quarterback Dual Quarterback Him And Mahomes That's Going To Be Annoying I
6:46Can't Believe People Are Talking About Quarterback By Committee Which Is Ridiculous But If Pat Mahomes Which Maybe He Could And Should
6:52Rely More On Kenneth Walker To Run The Ball They're Going To Use Him I Just Hope For If You're Drafting Him
6:59Sake That They're Going To Use Him As A Workhorse There's Something Here I Definitely Think There's Something Here That Screams Possible
7:05Must Draft But Based On That History With The Kansas City Chiefs You Have To Really Have To Be Careful Okay So
7:12Going Back Here Again DJ Moore Mike Evans Kenneth Walker All In Such Outstanding Situations And Again When You Are Looking At
7:18Drafting Here's A Draft Tip Okay When You Are Looking At Drafting You Gotta Take A Look Consistent Are They Gonna Be
7:24Consistent Week In Week In Week Out These Guys Could Be Is There Upside With Walker I Think There Is DJ Moore
7:31Potentially Mike Evans Sure Are They Durable Yeah You Know The Cuddy System C-U-D-D-Y Are They Durable I Don't Know Mike Evans
7:37Last Year A Little Older You Know Kenneth Walker Sometimes Right Depth Chart Where Are The Depth Chart Pretty Good I Think
7:44These Guys Could Emerge On The Depth Chart And Are They Young Is There Youth Mike Evans DJ Moore Not Not So
7:50Much With Those Guys Okay But Kenneth Walker Is Still There So I Kind Of Run Them Through I Do Run Them
7:57Through Cuddy I See Where They Land And I Think These Guys Have A Fair Score Okay Let Me Know What You
