Tua TagovailoaNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

The source uses Tua as a reference point, noting that Aaron Rodgers went 10 picks ahead of him, suggesting Rodgers is undervalued relative to Tua's ADP.

TreVeyon HendersonPositiveBreakoutJul 24, 2026

The source identifies Trevon Henderson as one of the single most interesting guys in fantasy football this year because he clearly showed in year one that he has the second gear needed; he scored way over expectation when he started and is expected to contribute more in the passing game in 2026. The source believes Raandre Moore is not best suited for the passing game role and that Henderson's contingent value is significant—similar to how Jalen Gibbs' legendary upside came from David Montgomery's injury. The source would be excited about Henderson around pick 5-6 on DraftKings, calling it insane value.

Marvin Harrison Jr.PositiveValueJul 24, 2026

The source acknowledges there was an argument for selecting Marvin Harrison Jr. over Jadarian Price at that draft position, suggesting Harrison Jr. had comparable or superior value at that juncture.

David MontgomeryNegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026

The source references David Montgomery's injury as the reason Jalen Gibbs' role expanded and his legendary upside materialized, illustrating the importance of contingent value in fantasy football.

Zachariah BranchNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Zachariah Branch appears in 16% of Davis Mattek's 1,269 total drafts, indicating consistent but lower draft priority across the portfolio.

Stefon DiggsNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Stefon Diggs appears in 16% of Davis Mattek's 1,269 total drafts, ranking among the lower-exposure players on his top-exposure page.

Rashod BatemanNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Rashod Bateman appears in 22% of Davis Mattek's 1,269 total drafts, indicating consistent but moderate draft priority across the portfolio.

Kenneth Walker IIINegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Kenneth Walker III appears in 20% of Davis Mattek's 1,269 total drafts, tied for fourth in overall exposure across the portfolio.

Jaylen WarrenNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek reports an 18% draft share for Jaylen Warren in 1,269 total drafts, indicating consistent but moderate draft priority across his sample. Warren appears in Mattek's autodrafted team sorted by ADP score as a running back option.

Jayden ReedNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Jaden Reed appears in 16% of Davis Mattek's 1,269 total drafts, indicating consistent but lower draft priority across the portfolio.

Gunner OlszewskiNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Gunner Olszewski appears in 20% of Davis Mattek's 1,269 total drafts, tied for fourth in overall exposure across the portfolio.

Keaton MitchellNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Keaton Mitchell appears in 27% of Davis Mattek's 250 DK Millionaire drafts; the source does not view this exposure level as excessive, indicating acceptance of his role and consistent draft priority in tournament play.

Jordan MasonNegativeRoleJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek offers a direct negative assessment of Jordan Mason's talent and role, stating 'Jordan Mason is not very good.'

Aaron JonesNegativeRoleJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek characterizes Aaron Jones as 'very old and has wonky hamstrings,' suggesting age and injury concerns that limit his role and upside.

Jordan JamesPositiveDepth ChartJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek reports recent training camp momentum for Jordan James, noting that 'Jordan James is pretty locked in' as the running back two based on reports from outlets like the Athletic. The source predicts Jordan James will likely be the running back drafted frequently in upcoming days, suggesting upcoming clarity or opportunity in his role.

Marvin MimsNegativeRoleJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek expresses concern about Marvin Mims' current offensive role, stating he wishes Mims 'had a bigger role,' indicating limited usage and upside concerns.

Xavier WorthyNegativeRoleJul 24, 2026

The source identifies Xavier Worthy as a primary Chiefs receiver, with Tae'quan Thornton's role defined as complementary and non-overlapping with Worthy's role on the field.

Jalen RoyalsPositiveRoleJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek characterizes Jaylen Royals as 'probably a better player' than Tae'quan Thornton, noting that Royals 'can run a greater amount of routes, probably has stronger hands, probably is going to be better in Yak.' This suggests Royals has more versatility, better hands, and greater upside in the passing game than Thornton's specialized complementary role.

Calvin RidleyPositiveValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek identifies Calvin Ridley as a 'mega smash' and 'giga mega smash' value pick, questioning why Ridley is available in the 18th round on DraftKings. The strong language and rhetorical question indicate Mattek views Ridley as significantly undervalued relative to his expected production. Ridley was drafted at pick 208 in Mattek's autodraft.

Courtland SuttonNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek expresses hesitation about drafting Courtland Sutton despite his historical production, noting that Sutton has 'made a lot of hay as basically the only good pass catcher on the team' and is therefore 'one of my least drafted guys relative to what the market consensus is.' The core concern is target volume decline with Jaylen Waddle's arrival; Mattek argues that 'Jaylen Wadd is going to be better at earning targets than Courtland Sutton' and dismisses the idea that Sutton's productivity can remain the same with fewer targets as 'a myth in the end' because 'there's only one ball.' Sutton's 19.7% target share projects to 6.7 receiving touchdowns; Mattek views the 6.5 touchdown line as 'quite a good line' and does not lean either direction on the over/under, suggesting the projection is fairly priced despite the target-share concern. Sutton also appears as the highest-drafted wide receiver in Mattek's autodrafted team, creating correlation risk alongside Jaden Blue (running back), both Broncos.

Luther BurdenNegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026

Luther Burden appears in the source's autodrafted team sorted by ADP score, listed as a wide receiver option.

Jalen HurtsNegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026

Jalen Hurts appears in the source's autodrafted team sorted by ADP score, listed as a quarterback in a team construction. The source drafted Jalen Hurts at pick 184, indicating a mid-round quarterback selection.

Caleb WilliamsNegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026

Caleb Williams appears in the source's autodrafted team sorted by ADP score, listed as a quarterback option in a team construction.

Christian WatsonPositiveBreakoutJul 24, 2026

The source expresses surprise and admiration at Christian Watson's return from ACL injury; Watson came back faster than Adrian Peterson, playing at a greater snap rate and route rate than he had ever had before despite being injury-prone, which the source views as remarkable and unexpected.

Travis HunterPositiveProjectionJul 24, 2026

The source projects Travis Hunter to receive 11% of team targets with some rushing volume; at his ADP, he is draftable because he can easily score a couple of touchdowns at that price point.

Jauan JenningsPositiveRoleJul 24, 2026

The source reports scuttlebutt that Jawan Jennings may force Justin Jefferson (Addison) into more of a deep threat role, suggesting Jennings' draft selection and usage could reshape the Vikings' receiving tree and create role differentiation.

Chigoziem OkonkwoNegativeRoleJul 24, 2026

The source selected Chigoziem Okonkwo as their first tight end in the draft, noting that the team composition might result in a four-tight-end roster.

Kyler MurrayPositiveProjectionJul 24, 2026

The source drafted Kyler Murray with high conviction at pick 153, stating there is 'no report that could come out from the Vikings that would make me feel differently' and arguing it is 'a legitimate impossibility that JJ McCarthy plays well enough in training camp and in the preseason to unseat Kyler Murray.' The source emphasized Murray's historical EPA per play advantage over multiple starting quarterbacks (CJ Stroud, Trevor Lawrence, Cam Newton, Jake Browning, Gino Smith, Caleb Williams, Tyler Shuck, Mac Jones, Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold) over the last 10 years, positioning Murray as a clear upgrade over McCarthy. The source dismissed a report claiming both quarterbacks would compete for the starting position at season start, calling it 'lying,' and framed Kevin O'Connell's public messaging as good coaching while maintaining Murray is the clear starter.

J.J. McCarthyNegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026

The source characterized JJ McCarthy as 'one of the worst quarterbacks we have ever seen last season' and provided statistical evidence: McCarthy ranked outside the top 100 quarterbacks over the last 15 years (minimum 200 plays), performing worse than Josh Dobbs, Jared Stump, Cooper Rush, Desmond Ridder, Duck Hodges, Colt McCoy, and AJ McCarron. The source used McCarthy's poor performance as justification for drafting Kyler Murray, arguing that McCarthy cannot realistically unseat Murray in training camp or preseason. While a report indicated both quarterbacks would compete for the starting position, the source framed this as coaching strategy to keep McCarthy motivated rather than a genuine competition.

Ricky PearsallPositiveValueJul 24, 2026

The source selected Ricky Pearsall as a high-end wide receiver in the draft, using him as a strategy to secure a premium pass-catcher while letting quarterback selection fall to later rounds; the source's algorithm was pushing the 'pro Davismatic agenda' toward this pick.

Adam RandallPositiveRoleJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek believes Adam Randall is undervalued in the Ravens backfield given Derrick Henry's age (32) and Justice Hill's injury recovery from a neck injury; he likes Randall as a prospect and positional convert at 235 lbs, viewing him as a fit for passing downs and goal-line work in Baltimore's offense.

A.J. BrownNegativeUsageJul 24, 2026

A.J. Brown's target share context is referenced in the Eagles WR discussion; the source notes Hollywood Brown at 7% target share and Mai Lemon at 18%, indicating A.J. Brown's role in the Eagles passing game hierarchy.

Justin HerbertNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek explicitly states he cannot justify drafting Justin Herbert over Jaylen Hurts, instead opting to wait and potentially take Herbert at pick 88 as a fallback option if both QBs fall; this indicates Herbert is deprioritized relative to Hurts.

Jalen HurtsPositiveValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek cannot justify drafting Justin Herbert over Jaylen Hurts and structures his draft to pivot to Hurts at pick 88, which he describes as 'insane' value for a QB at that ADP; this strategy involves taking Mai Lemon early instead of a quarterback.

Breece HallPositiveProjectionJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek views Breece Hall as cheap value and projects he will catch balls like he did at the end of the season, indicating confidence in his receiving upside despite historical receiving limitations (11.4 receiving yards per game, 10th percentile).

Jordyn TysonNegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek considered Jordan Tyson as a running back option in the third round alongside Price and Marv, but ultimately chose Price for roster balance after taking a running back in the first round.

Brian Thomas Jr.NegativeValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek views Brian Thomas Jr. as interchangeable value with Tate and Pwash at an upcoming draft turn, indicating indifference among these three wide receiver options at that juncture.

Jameson WilliamsPositiveValueJul 24, 2026

Davis Mattek presents Jameson Williams as a viable alternative wide receiver option in the second round that he could take instead of a running back, demonstrating flexibility in the draft build and confidence in Williams' value at that juncture.
