Antonio Williams

PositiveBreakout11:40

Antonio Williams is a high-upside stash who recorded 4 catches and a touchdown in Week 1. While currently a WR3, the source believes he is a superior technical route runner compared to the 'washed up' Terry McLaurin and Stefan Diggs, and could explode if he earns more snaps.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveBreakout7:15

Carnell Tate is a breakout candidate who saw an 88% snap share in Week 1. The source expects his 6-target, 4-reception performance to improve as quarterback Cam Ward settles in and the offense stabilizes.

Insight page

Christian Watson

NegativeBust3:47

The source advises trading away Christian Watson, citing his injury history—noting he hasn't finished a season in four years—and arguing his Week 1 production was lucky and unsustainable compared to Matthew Golden's usage.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

PositiveRole8:54

Jadarian Price is expected to break out as the coaching staff plans to increase his involvement. He split snaps 50-50 with Helani in Week 1 but showed efficiency with 5.2 yards per carry; the source views him as the superior talent for the backfield.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveBreakout5:37

Jeremiah Love is a breakout candidate who has been limited by an ankle injury. The source expects him to see increased volume as the team's primary talent, moving past his current committee role.

Insight page

Kalif Raymond

NegativeBust2:17

The source labels Khalif Raymond as 'fool's gold' despite his nine targets in Week 1, noting he only played 60% of snaps and has had 10 years to prove himself without sustained success.

Insight page

Kenyon Sadiq

PositiveBreakout10:13

Kenyon Sadiq is a breakout candidate for Week 2. Despite only playing 41% of snaps in Week 1, he was efficient with 3 catches and a rushing touchdown. The source notes he is fully recovered from an offseason groin injury.

Insight page

Luther Burden

PositiveBreakout2:07

Luther Burden is a priority stash and breakout candidate; he played 73%+ of snaps in Week 1 compared to Khalif Raymond's 60%. The source views Raymond as 'fool's gold' and expects Burden to emerge as the team's future dynamic playmaker starting in Week 2.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

PositiveBreakout3:47

Matthew Golden is the preferred wide receiver over Christian Watson, boasting 12 targets and an 82% snap share compared to Watson's 8 targets and 76% snap share. The source advises trading for Golden while his value is lower than Watson's.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

NegativeBust13:12

The source describes Terry McLaurin as 'old' and 'washed up,' suggesting he is no longer a good option and that Antonio Williams should be prioritized over him in the Commanders' offense.

0:00What's going on guys? Happy Saturday. Got an exciting one here for you.
0:04I've got about 7 players here that you need to get on your roster before they break out.
0:08Yes, get them on your team. NFL Week 2 is here.
0:11You gotta start them. They are due for a breakout.
0:14And I'm telling you man, get them on your team.
0:17Trade for them. Make sure they're on your roster.
0:19This is their breakout week. Buckle up, okay? I'm ready to dive in.
0:23If you're new to the channel, smash it, tap it, hype it, swipe it, hit the thumbs up.
0:28If you guys want all my picks, meaning against the spread, straight up, and my favorite players props.
0:32Props. Right now, if you guys want to cash in to win, join the Counselor's Edge.
0:37I've linked it below on the top comment here.
0:39Or head over to thefantasyfootballcounselor.com. Get the edge, the Counselor's Edge, if you guys want to win, okay?
0:44Hit the thumbs up. Let's dive in. Week 2 is here.
0:47We're talking must-starts. I did a full must-starts video and a full preview show.
0:51Go back a couple episodes. Walter Football, amazing preview episode.
0:54Talking about all the matchups and some starts and sits advice.
0:57And a full starts and sits episode where I walk through every single player.
1:00Go back and check that out as well. But today, I want to focus on guys that could actually break out, okay?
1:06I'm out here in South Florida. Kids are playing tennis.
1:09The sun is shining. It's a beautiful day, and I want to dive in with you guys on this episode.
1:14If you've got the baby car seat in the back here, I'm equipped, man.
1:18We're all here. It's a tennis family, and I thought I'd run out to the car here and do this video here for you, okay?
1:25On the go. All right. Hit the thumbs up.
1:27The first player that I absolutely love that's going to break out, make sure you guys stash him, is Luther Burden.
1:33Now, let me talk about this, okay? Luther Burden last week, five receptions on five targets.
1:37Khalif Raymond was the beneficiary last week. He had the nine targets, but he only had about 60% of the snap count.
1:4373% plus of the snap count went to Luther Burden, who's young, dynamic, and the future of the team.
1:48I think Luther Burden really emerges in Minnesota this week, and I think he's going to finally break out, okay?
1:54Khalif Raymond has been in the league for 10 years.
1:57I think he's fool's gold. Anybody can have one good week.
2:00We see it all the time. Players have one good week early in the season, and you don't hear from them again
2:06because they had years to wow us, and guess what?
2:08Worn out wow. So, I would look at Luther Burden.
2:11Again, once these guys break out, they're very hard to get again.
2:14Consider him. Watch him this week, okay? Number two here.
2:17I've been talking about him. I told you to stash him on all your rosters.
2:21I'm actually starting him this week. I'll tell you who it is and why and why I'm so excited about him.
2:27And everybody's talking about Christian Watson, but the wide receiver one is Matthew Golden.
2:30Let me tell you why. 12 targets compared to Watson's eight.
2:33This is very, very important. And not to mention, when you look at the snap count, Matthew Golden was out for 80% of the snaps.
2:4082% compared to 76 that was Watson. More targets, higher snap count for Matthew Golden.
2:44Now, understand why Watson did better last week because it's very simple, guys.
2:48It's very simple. He had the one touchdown for 81 yards.
2:51He got lucky. Not to mention, Watson gets hurt a lot.
2:54He hasn't finished a season in four years. What makes you think he's going to finish it this year?
2:59He's not. Historically, he does not finish seasons. He blew his load last week.
3:03Now, everybody's riding Watson. I would be looking to acquire Matthew Golden.
3:06I like Matthew Golden far superior than Watson. What I would do is if I have Watson, I would trade Watson for
3:12Matthew Golden and somebody else while he's low. He's lower.
3:14People don't realize, but actually, he should be higher.
3:17So, Matthew Golden, man, great breakout potential this week.
3:19I love him. Matthew Golden, make sure you guys acquire him before it's too late, okay?
3:24Next one number here is Bashal Tootin. Now, again, there's certain players like Chase Brown and Bashal Toot and Pollards of the World and the Chuba Hubbard.
3:31Chuba had a good week last week, but these players are just not elite.
3:35They're not the elite of the league. They're not the Jeremiah Love talent.
3:38Mind you, Jeremiah Love is in a bit of a committee right now, which is really annoying.
3:43They're saying he's a target share, a volume share.
3:45Really annoyed. Hopefully, this is the week for Jeremiah Love.
3:48That's another guy I think is going to finally break out.
3:51I think they were kind of limiting him with the ankle.
3:54I just saw a video saying, I'm good to go.
3:57When I'm on the field, I'm playing. If I'm playing, I'm playing.
4:00So, I like him. But going back to Tootin here, 15 attempts, 66 yards.
4:04That's, again, it's a good matchup this week, okay?
4:06So, when I'm looking, he's playing Denver, and we saw what Walker did with Denver.
4:10I'm not saying that Tootin's going to do that, but I think Denver's going to tighten up their game.
4:15In fact, I think Denver wins this game. But what I'm looking at here with Tootin is opportunity, okay?
4:20And when you look at it, he was the only opportunity guy.
4:24He had 15 attempts. Nobody else was close to that.
4:26He's the alpha dog. I know he's not the alpha talent-wise, but he is the alpha dog on the team.
4:32So, Bashal Tootin, look for him to break out, okay?
4:35Number four here, not the most attractive pick right now, but Carnell Tate versus Philly.
4:39He had 88% of the snap share last week.
4:41Cam Ward just did a video saying, I'm still elite.
4:44They were asking him to interview him. He said, I'm still elite.
4:47I'm good to go. And listen, I like Cam Ward if he's on, but it's a terrible offensive line.
4:52If he can get it going, we saw what he did in college.
4:56He was the first overall pick. If he gets it going, I think Carnell Tate gets going.
5:00Now, six targets, four receptions last week. They only get better this week, okay?
5:04It was a bad week. He only gets better.
5:06So, look for Tate to really emerge if Cam Ward gets going.
5:10But again, it was just under pressure last week.
5:12Terrible offensive line. I'm looking for Tate to really explode.
5:15Once he takes off, he's going to do it.
5:17Remember, first round pick, high targets. Like, look at this, man.
5:2088% targets. He's on the field a lot. Six targets, four receptions.
5:23That's going to go up. Once he gets that touchdown, he's really going to break out and emerge, and people are going to want to ride him.
5:31So, look for a breakout this week, okay? Number five is Jadarian Price.
5:34We've already heard from the coaching staff this week that they're going to get him more involved on the field.
5:40Helani's just not the solution. Snap count needs to be higher, obviously, but they're almost on par last week with Helani, 50-50 almost.
5:46So, when you look at him, 10 attempts, 5.2 yards per carry, and two receptions.
5:50Listen, it's Jadarian Price's backfield. Look for him to break out.
5:53And again, once he breaks out, everybody's going to be riding him, right?
5:56But we need to stop seeing Helani. We need to see Jadarian Price similarly.
6:00And they're playing each other this week, Cardinals and Seahawks.
6:03Similarly to Jeremiah Love. We need to see Jeremiah Love and Les Algea.
6:07These are the alpha dogs, the first round picks.
6:09They need to play them, okay? So, I'm looking for Jadarian Price to break out.
6:13Number six here is Kenyon Sadiq. Start him this week and don't be weak.
6:17Kenyon Sadiq. Now, only 41% of the snaps last week.
6:19I'm looking for that to go up this week.
6:22Three for three. Three targets. Three receptions. He had the rushing touchdown, which gave him the numbers.
6:27Understand, he had the groin injury in the offseason.
6:29He's past that, okay? He played the first game.
6:31Got the first game. Jitters out. So, I'm looking for him to really, really, really step up this week, okay?
6:37Now, there's other tight ends that are going to do well.
6:40You know, I think, you know, Mark Andrews, right?
6:42There's no Zay Flowers. He gets inflation. Schultz gets inflation.
6:45Rodrigo Collins is getting out. So, if you have other options, maybe they're safer to start.
6:49We're looking at what starts and sits for this week, week two.
6:52But Sadiq, I think, is due for a breakout.
6:55Make sure you guys do start. Because he's going to break out, and then it'll be too late, okay?
7:00The last one. This is one you need to get on your rosters because he had a mini breakout last week.
7:06I'll tell you who it is. And he was not a guy that I was really pushing in the offseason, but he was in 16 rounds.
7:13But listen, you got to get this guy on your rosters potentially, but there's got to be a lot of things that happen.
7:19But there's so much upside. Before I tell you who it is, make sure you guys, again, create an underdog.
7:24Use code LION. Get in on the action, guys.
7:27Up to $1,000 cash bonus. This is huge if you use code LION.
7:30Get on underdog right now. Use code LION. I'm telling you guys, this is the place I play, underdog.
7:35And if you want to win, get my picks, get the counselor's edge right now.
7:40Thefantasyfootballcouncil.com. I've leaked everything else below, but thefantasyfootballcouncil.com for everything.
7:42But go on underdog. Use code LION. Create an account.
7:45Put down a deposit and get in on the action, all right?
7:48The last one here, I absolutely love him based on what I've seen week one.
7:52They've got Stefan Diggs there. They've got Terry. But they're old.
7:55They're washed up. And his snap count wasn't that high.
7:58I think it was like 37% compared to the other guys.
8:01He's got way more volume. But Antonio Williams is the guy I'm talking about.
8:05Four receptions, four targets. I believe he did get a touchdown.
8:08And look for that to go up, man. Listen, Antonio Williams, I'll give you a quick idea about him.
8:13Amazing technical rep runner out of college. Reliable hands.
8:15Works out of the slot. He's got 4.4 speed.
8:18He's 6 foot, 190 pounds. This guy is good.
8:20Now, it's up to the commanders to actually utilize him to his full potential.
8:24They've got to step aside. You know, McLaurin is just old.
8:27He's washed up. He's not good, right? Antonio Williams could be the bright spot in that commander's offense.
8:32And when he breaks out, he breaks out. They're going to start utilizing.
8:35Once they know they can utilize him, they will.
8:38So, Antonio Williams is another guy that, you know, you may want to get on your team before he breaks up.
8:43But understand right now, the way he sits, he's technically wide receiver three, which kind of limits his ceiling.
8:49But an injury to Diggs and McLaurin and bam, oh, bam.
8:52This guy is going up. Man, oh, man. Boom to the ceiling, all right?
8:55If you're on this channel, smash it, tap it, hype it, swipe it.
8:59Subscribe, thumbs up. And I will see you guys next video.
9:02Daily content coming your way. Lion mentality. Let's eat and get my picks on the council's edge.
9:06I've pinned it below. I'm out.
