0:00is a great day to break down my week five fantasy football wide receiver rankings and tears. Going to be going wide receiver one to wide receiver 60,
0:07answering some bigger picture questions like who have been the best and worst defenses against wide receivers? Who is the best and worst upcoming schedules?
0:14What the heck is a Dante Myers and why are we so interested in this guy? All that and much much more. So very excited
0:19to get into it. I appreciate you guys joining. And with that, let's get after it with the wide receiver one, Jackson
0:24Smith Niga, the number one player in all fantasy football in terms of raw PPR points. if you are into that kind of
0:30thing. Haven't seen him get a true boom in his last three games against the 49ers. 124 yards kind of scoreless in
0:37week one of last year. Scored in the playoffs, but was only 19 total yards.
0:41Whatever. I'm not concerned. Could be a sneaky shoot out here for Sam Darnold and company. Fully expecting big things from JSM per usual. Wide receiver, too.
0:49I got Puka Nakua, guys. Should be a very fun edition of Monday Night Football.
0:53Would love to watch the Manning cast for it if we didn't just get one random guest after another. Can we just let
0:59Peyton and Eli talk ball already? But yes, Puka, he's a god. All right, I think we all get that. 125 and also a
1:05rushing touchdown last week. We know his first game back. Pre hernia condition.
1:11You learn new things every week in the NFL and this is one of them. Apparently, he has groin hip soreness that is not a
1:20hernia, but it could become a hernia, hence pre hernia. Don't love that. Maybe it all works out fine. seems like football is a sort of violent sport and
1:28puka plays a sort of violent role constantly blocking in the middle field getting rush attempts being an all-around beast that I don't know maybe
1:35it could pop up. So he's in the lineup this week and accordingly he's the wide receiver too in fantasy football that he
1:42usually is in these rankings but yeah preh hernia. Don't love that for Puka.
1:46Wide receiver three I got CD Lamb guys the NFL leader in receiving yards right now. CD Lamb going up against the Tampa
1:51Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. They have yet to allow 250 passing yards in a game this season, but don't be surprised if we could just
1:58finally see this Cowboys defense play a pretty good game if we see the offense accordingly just go nuts, guys. So, fun
2:04stat from Anthony Deundo over on the old Twitter sphere. The Cowboys right now ranked fifth in points per drive through the first four weeks of the season of
2:12any offense since the year 2000. So, absolute juggernauts out here. They're moving with efficiency that we are rarely even seeing across the league and
2:20have rarely seen across the league for the better part of the last 25 plus years. So again, fix that defense a
2:26little bit. Even more fireworks could be on the way. Wide receiver four, I got our one true songado Monro St. Brown go
2:31up against the Cardinals. Again, wheels up for pretty much everyone in this game, man. 54 and a half point game total. That's tied for the highest mark
2:38in week four and tie for the highest mark on the season as a whole. So back-to-back relatively underwhelming performances from Amanra because his
2:44ceiling and expectations are so high. I don't think we'll be sitting here next week saying it's three straight wide receiver five. I got Nico Collins guys.
2:52He's played two games so far this year.
2:5375 yards in the TUD and then 118 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys last week. Nico is obviously awesome in
3:00his own right. I mean I think coming into this season over the past couple years he was number two in yards per run
3:05behind only Puka Nakua. But man, CJ Strad take a bow man. Good on him going out there getting himself earning himself some money. I would think I know
3:14they're 0 and4. I get it. But goodness gracious, guys. Not to be all, oh, watch the film, but watch the freaking film
3:20and CJ Strad has absolutely been balling out there. So, no run game. The offensive line continues to be, you know, very much one of the worst units
3:27in the league. You know, other Nico Collins, I love Jaylen Nowell as much as the next fantasy nerd. We'll talk about
3:32him later. Really, really great stuff from CJ Strad. And then you look at this Titans secondary, guys. They've allowed a 27.7 PPR point effort. Devonte Smith
3:40and 25.8 to Z Flowers. Don't be surprised if Nico Collins is the latest wide receiver to hang 25 points on them.
3:47Wide receiver six. I got T. Higgins going against Miami, guys. So, he is dealing with an adductor injury. Not a groin injury. It's an adductor injury.
3:54Let's be very clear on that, okay? What is an adductor injury? It's a groin injury. But don't call it a groin
3:59injury. It's an adductor injury. Cool.
4:02Cool. Okay. We've actually seen Higgins for a handful of games without Jamar Chase over the years. All right. They haven't all been completely booms, but
4:09the last three sure have, man. Nine catches, 148 yards. Seven catches, 114 yards, and a touchdown. Five catches and 140 yards with another touchdown. And
4:17that Steelers game from a couple years back where he busted that slant for like 80 yards. So look, T. Higgins without
4:22Jamar Chase, how high do you want to rank him? Go right ahead. And I will agree with you. Wide receiver seven. I
4:28got Chris Ave guys going up against the Minnesota Vikings. The only reason why he is this low is because he is going up
4:34against the Vikings. Six straight games now with double digit targets for a lav.
4:37Only Trey McBride is even close at four.
4:40So really hasn't missed for the better part of the last month and a half that he's been playing football. Just please
4:45injury gods, let him be okay. It looked like he messed something up lower bodywise at the end of that Monday night
4:51blowout loss. Why was he even still out there that late? I don't know. I'm sure Tyler Shuck and Devon fantasy managers
4:57weren't too mad about the Saints keeping their foot on the gas or trying to at least, you know, down the stretch of
5:02that blowout L. But regardless, guys, we saw Christian Watson and Matthew Golden to a lesser extent boom against this defense back in week one. I don't I
5:10think it's going to be tough sledding. I can certainly see the Vikings more or less putting the Saints offense in a
5:16locker, but that volume tends to win out in a major way. I'm not ranking Chris Lobby as anything other than the top 10
5:21wide receiver. He's been since midway through last season, even in a tough matchup. Wide receiver eight, I got Drake London, guys. 96 scoreless yards
5:29last week. that snap, a fivegame streak of him racking up at least 100 receiving yards with Michael Penn under center. So
5:35again, not the easiest matchup in the world and we could see a situation where again inexplicably the Falcons are playing with these massive leads where
5:42they don't really need to keep their foot on the gas. I mean, we saw London go bonkers against the Packers. So I'm
5:47not trying to say he hasn't had these great games yet or anything like that, but we've only seen Michael Penn throw I
5:52think it's 45 total pass attempts over the past two weeks. Whatever, man.
5:56They've scored 80 points, so like it's working for their offense and everything. Keep being the B Robinson's The Rock. I get it. But I just think
6:02even bigger days could be ahead for Drake London. Still doesn't have a touchdown somehow. 28 targets. I think he's tied for second or third for the
6:09most in the league without a score. So again, Drake London already been awesome. My wide receiver eight on the week. Wide receiver nine. I got Zay
6:17Flowers. And this is under the expectation that we get former Pro Bowl QB Tyler Snoop Huntley instead of Lamar Jackson under center. So look, nobody
6:24has averaged more yards per route run than Zay Flowers this year. And it's not particularly close. I've also looked at it over the last decade during the first
6:32four weeks and he still leads with that.
6:33Like we are literally looking at the most efficient start to a season by a wide receiver of the past 10 years. Only
6:392025 Puka is actually averaged more targets per out run. So we're looking at Z Flowers making the most out of his
6:46opportunities and getting forcefed the football. That's the main reason why that I'm still find firing him up as a wide receiver one even with Huntley
6:52instead of Lamar under center. So it's a very good Falcons defense particularly on the line of scrimmage. That said, AJ Terrell's on IR. The quarterbacks have
7:00been the one, I would say, weak spot that could be taken advantage of. We saw that to an extent on Monday night with
7:05Chris Lava and Deon Bale turning in good evenings at the office, at least from a county number fantasy football perspective. So, Zay Flowers for me, if
7:13you're incredibly blessed and you have three of these other wide receivers I've already named, good for you. You're a scholar. But yeah, get Zay Flowers in
7:19those starting lineups even without Lamar. Key question for this tier just to again give some more love to Z Flowers and also some of the other
7:26really good real life wide receivers addition to fantasy is just who have been the best real life wide receivers so far this season. Again, I like to
7:32look at yards and targets per route run.
7:34Routes are biggest sample size in a sport where we only get 17 games. All right, so stuff per target per reception. We're just dealing with
7:41smaller smaller sample sizes. So when we use the biggest one we got, I think it's the most revealing. Anyway, got a handy
7:47handy dandy chart showing yards per rout on the x- axis and target spout run on the y- axis and all the way up there in
7:52the top right corner. Yes, it's Z Flowers separating himself from everybody. More dudes though who deserve plenty of credit for their hot starts.
7:59JSM obviously Drake London even with the atrocity that was two weeks of Cooper Rush under center man averaging over four yards per hour run. That guy is
8:08good at football. CD Lamb, Cuka Nua, DJ Moore, Justin Jefferson, T. Higgins, Nico Collins, Chris Ave, Devonte Adams, and Christian Watson. More guys who rank
8:17very highly in yards per hour run and deserve credit for playing very good football this year. Some surprisingly not so good ranks in yards per hour run
8:24to start the season, guys. Ammon St.
8:26Brown wide receiver 40. Jabar Chase wide receiver 42. This is out of about I think like 105 wide receivers by the
8:32way. So still average but you know not the usual standard we would expect.
8:37Michael Wilson wide receiver 47. Jaylen Wadd wide receiver 48. George Pickkins wide receiver 51 and Jameson Williams wide receiver 58. So in the former three
8:45cases, Sunung God, Chase and Wilson, they're getting enough volume so it just hasn't even really mattered. In the latter three cases with Wadd, Pickkins,
8:52and JMO, really do think it's a matter of when, not if we start seeing the big plays hit for each of these dudes in
8:57their respective offenses. Tier two guys, I got weak winning upside wide receivers here. Okay, starting off with wide receiver 10, Malik Neighbors going
9:05up against a commander team that's been really sound at the line of scrimmage, but those cornerbacks are the weakness on the squad. And accordingly, we should
9:12be feeling good about Malik Neighbors who got back to doing Malik Neighbor things last week, man. Six catches, 112 yards, and a touchdown. We even saw just
9:19the vintage Jame it Malik down there every down there somewhere play. Malik Scott up and made a hell of a catch out
9:24there. So, Commanders, one of only five groups allowing 40 plus PPR points per game. Two opposing wide receivers. That said, I'm not against selling high on
9:33Malik Neighbors. Maybe after this week, I did. Again, I've tried to check these Yahoo like trades that have happened in the last 24 hours stuff. I didn't see
9:40many that really got my attention for Malik Neighbors. So, I think, you know, the scent maybe isn't there just yet.
9:45But, if we do get another game of Jamus looking passable in a good matchup, I just worry about Neighbors in the
9:55shoulder thing lingering. and we saw it sideline him briefly last week and he returned. And then the other issue is JJ
10:01McCarthy eventually.
10:03I have a very hard time believing Jamus keeps things going well enough to start the rest of this year. Could it happen?
10:12Okay, that's why I'm saying sell high.
10:14I'm not trying to sell neighbors for Bucky Irving with all due respect to Bucky Irving. You know what I'm saying?
10:18So, don't have any great ones out there that I'd exactly be targeting like maybe Baltin and another plus player. A little
10:26tough to get right now. Stay tuned with it. Again, let's get another big performance from Neighbors. We'll be back here in week six. Seeing if we can
10:33get something better then. Wide receiver 11. I got Justin Jefferson if he is going to be playing against the New Orleans Saints. And the only reason he's
10:39this low is because Kyler Murray, guys, he got going late against the Dolphins, but even when he got going late, it was
10:45just kind of repeatedly feeding TJ Hawinson. And it was against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. I'm not looking for moral lategame victories
10:52against that. I want booming 300 plus yard multi-touchdown performances. So could have had the touchdown if Hawinson decided to prioritize his fantasy
11:00managers over the well-being of his real life team. But man, adjusted net yards per attempt. All that does is it adds
11:06extra weight for touchdowns, subtracts extra weight for interceptions, and it takes sacks into account. Kyler is dead last in this man. Daniel Jones is the
11:15only guy really close to as bad as what Kyler Murray has been this year. So, it's early. I get it against the Saints.
11:23I think they're going to be able to run the ball. I just hope we see a little more out of Kyler Murray. You get your
11:27number one wide receiver back hopefully and Justin Jefferson. Believe he was a limited participant in practice today.
11:32Let's see it, Kyler. And we see it, we'll get Jedi right back up there in the top five. Vikings do have a week
11:37week six buy, by the way. Wide receiver 12, Michael Wilson, man. Happy Cardinals week. Cardinals lines 54 and a half point game total as we mentioned before
11:46with the Monra St. Brown and Wilson with 30 freaking targets over the past two weeks is the guy that Arizona is force
11:52feeding the football. Screw Marvin Harrison Jr. it is Trey McBride and Michael Wilson doing their thing and Michael Wilson's credit man like we've
11:59now have what a 12 13 game sample dating back to last season of him just doing really really good things out there. So
12:06look bad offense whatever we're getting the fantasy points either way. So look, Lions secondary this year, they just gave up 45 PPR points to Tedro McMillan.
12:15Olve hung 28 on them. Garrett Wilson got nearly 27. Even Devon got to 20. All right, they've allowed, 126 passing yards through four weeks of this season.
12:26That is the worst mark of any defense over the last five years.
12:30Think about how bad the Cowboys and Bengals were at the beginning of last season. The 2026 lines were even worse.
12:37Wide receiver 13. I got Devonte Adams going against the Bills on Monday Night Football. Fell back to earth a little bit in week four, but again, if you
12:43happen to catch that game, uncharacterist uncharacteristically dropped a 25 yard touchdown in the back of the end zone. And then for the third
12:50time in two weeks, he got open deep on a silky smooth double move, but Matthew Stafford wasn't quite able to put it on
12:56him. So Buffalo, they're banged up in the secondary, their number one quarterback, Christian Benford, wasn't able to play last week. Points, points,
13:03points. Monday night shootout. Devonte Adams expecting to find the end zone and tack on plenty of yards as well. Wide receiver 14. George Pickkins. Guys, I'm
13:12not scared. I'm not scared. I'm actually I'm not I'm not even a little bit scared. All right. Like Jaylen Wadd, I'm
13:18a little scared. George Pickkins. No fear here. It's happening this week.
13:23George Pickkins 100 plus yards, at least one touchdown. Take it to the bank.
13:29I will. What should I do?
13:34Let me think of a fun jersey I could buy. This is, you know, the sort of bet I like to do in situations like this.
13:42I will buy I will buy
13:54a 2003 Priest Holmes Chiefs jersey. Doesn't have to be 2003. I'll buy a Priest Holm
14:06Chiefs jersey if George Pickkins doesn't go for 100 plus in a touchdown.
14:11I don't know why Priest Holmes whatever.
14:13George Pickins is going off. It's the Buccaneers. Antoine Winfield Jr. is even out of the picture here. I believe in the talent. I don't look at this as an
14:21issue at all where Yeah. I mean, it's been an issue in terms of him not putting up numbers, but the Cowboys
14:26offense is sweet. CD Lamb's just going off. They're going to get Pickkins more involved, guys. It's going to happen this Thursday. Recent trades on Yahoo.
14:35Pickings getting acquired straight up for Lab Makoni, Jaylen Wadd, Cam Scoutaboo, Saquon Barkley, and Ashen Genty. Maybe not in your league. I get
14:43it. But that's six, five different players where it has actively happened in leagues. All right. The worst thing that can happen if you float one of
14:51these trades out for George Pickins is you get roasted in the group chat. And that hurts. I get it. But the best thing
14:57that happens is you look at your phone and you see that you just acquired George Pickkins and then it's your leaguemate getting roasted in the group
15:04chat. Be that guy. Go get yourself George Pickkins. The clock is ticking.
15:09Oh, that rhymed. Wide receiver 15.
15:11Garrett Wilson going up against the Browns guys. 170 yards in the TUD in week three. 27 scoreless yards in week four because we only saw the Jets run 32
15:20plays. I would not be too worried about Garrett Wilson because of Denzel Ward here. Okay, first of all, we just saw DK
15:26Mechaf and Roman Wilson nearly combined for 200 freaking yards against the Browns on Thursday Night Football. Okay, and second of all, per Fantasy Points,
15:33which has some awesome new stuff in their data suite, too. They actually have a shadow index where you can see how often number one quarterbacks were
15:39lining up on opposing receivers.
15:42Only Ted McMillan got something close to shadow treatment. And even in that game where a lot of people were like, "Oh,
15:48Denzo wore erased T-Mac." And T-Mac didn't have a good game. I get it. They only matched up on 49% of Tedro
15:54McMillan's routes. Amecha Ibuka 36% when they squared off. DK Mechaf last week 25%. Parker Washington 20%.
16:03Look, I'm not saying that the rest of the Browns defense are scrubs or anything like that, but Denzel Ward is is him, man. He's got multiple dogs in
16:12him. I'm not afraid of the other guys when it comes to someone like Garrett who should be seeing double digit targets with AD Mitchell still week to
16:19week with his finger injury. Garrett Wilson for me upside wide receiver too in this spot wouldn't be surprised if he brings in a top 12 performance. Wide
16:28receiver 16, Parker Washington, Chopwood, Carrie Water, and where are some white cleats, man? If you guys saw that long yard after catch play last
16:36week, I mean, I still think that he might have had his foot actually one of those situations where the toes were in
16:41bounds and looked like the heel was out, but it wasn't on the ground. Am I coping as someone who just drafted Parker Wash
16:46as much as possible? 100%. That said, guys, it's a good matchup. All right, Quinan Mitchell got banged up last week, but Quinton Mitchell's been chilling on
16:54the right side of the field all season long. Anyway, most fantasy points per game allowed to slot wide receivers this year. Number one, the Lions, obviously.
17:03Number two is the Eagles, man.
17:07Trevor Lawrence's number one pass game option. The only reason why it hasn't been bigger booms for everyone involved in this passing game is just because,
17:14you know, the Jaguars are really freaking good right now. Their defense is largely stuffing offenses in the lockers and they've been able to run the
17:20football. Playing with leads, haven't need to keep their foot on the gas. Now, I'm not overly confident the Eagles being the team to, you know, coax out
17:28this pass happy attack, but Jaguars are home in London. You know, don't be surprised if Sunday morning we're seeing Parker Washington line up that
17:35scoreboard. Wide receiver 17, wide receiver 18. I got Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. These feel low. They do because this year Watson's been wide
17:44receiver five, and Golden's been wide receiver 12. A lot of good highscoring matchups that we've gone through. A lot of other really good wide receivers. I'm
17:52just worried and maybe I'm overthinking it. Tends to happen sometimes. This is Rotoire's 32nd ranked offensive line right now in Green Bay. Shouldn't
18:00surprise anyone. We have seen the Bears in back-to-back weeks not play high octane let's score 60-yard touchdowns every chance we can get football.
18:09They've been running the piss out of the ball. They've been playing not completely check down football, but getting the ball out fast with Tyson Tag
18:17Be agent. And accordingly, these teams just haven't been able to run any plays.
18:21I worry about that happening to Packers this week. It's in Green Bay, Packers, Bears. I think we'll see the best effort
18:29from Laflor and Love and everyone out there. I get it. But look, I have a ton of Christian Watson, good amount of
18:35Matthew Golden. Everywhere I have these guys, I'm going to be starting them.
18:39They're top 18 plays. Just again want to try to explain why they're a little more upside wide receiver twos than uh wide
18:44receiver ones. It's the game environment. All right. And the Bears defense, to their credit, they looked really bad against the Panthers in week
18:50one, have looked really good in three weeks since. Truth is probably somewhere in between. But yeah, don't be surprised if both these dudes are back in the top
18:5612 next week in week six against the Cowboys Sunday Night Football. Get your popcorn ready for that one.
19:03Key question for this one. Who have been the wide receiver positions best surprises this season? Okay, I looked at total PPR points through four weeks and
19:09just kind of wanted to pinpoint the guys who have been able to overcome what was really pedestrian preseason ADP. So yeah, starting off Watson and at Matthew
19:17Golden guys, Watson going off the board really has more of a wide receiver three sort of player. I think he was like a
19:23round six pick more times than not.
19:25Moved up to probably round five, round four in the higher stakes leagues, but you know how it goes. Matthew Golden, someone that was again was much more of
19:31a consensus wide receiver four.
19:33Absolutely crushing it so far this year.
19:34How about Debo Samuel man still got it.
19:37wide receiver 13 after four weeks of action and looking good out there breaking tackles like a beast taking hook and ladders 80 yards for a
19:46touchdown. Now it's a little bit fluky but last week man against they freaking play last week. Oh, I'm blank. Broncos tough tough matchup, you know, like
19:56that's a good defense. I know they've had some struggles tackling particularly Kenneth Walker, but Debo's running hard, man. He looks good and I think it's been
20:03one of the underrated pleasant surprises of what's otherwise been a really juggernaut you know 49ers offense.
20:08Michael Wilson again wide receiver 15 this year very much proved that second half boom was not a fluke. Devon wide receiver 16 in this economy. I can't
20:18believe it man. Is that going to persist once Jordan Tyson comes back? Absolutely not. When will Jordan Tyson be back? I
20:25don't know. Saints are throwing the hell out of the football and Devon Bailey deserves a lot of credit for making the
20:29most out of his opportunities. He's like tied for 13th in targets, too. It's not even been like fluky. Ah, he just had
20:35some touchdown spikes. He's getting to work and he's making good with it.
20:39Denzel Boston, man. Wide receiver 17.
20:43Woo! Hell yeah, boy. Balling. And don't give me the 57% of his production has come on three plays BS. Only one of
20:52those against the Steelers was any level of blown coverage. And it was, you know, looked like the quarterback thought he had help over top. He didn't. There goes
21:00Denzel for 60 yards. You know what? He's also catching footballs from Deshaawn Watson. He has helped make the Deshawn Watson experience actually kind of good
21:08in the year 2026. Shout out Denzel Boston. Jaylen Coker, wide receiver 19 overall. Moves up to wide receiver 12 if you go per game basis. Again, someone
21:17that was regularly being treated outside the top 50 wide receivers. And then even with last week's dud, Khalif Raymond, wide receiver 23 on the year. We tip our
21:25hats to you, Khif Raymond. Tier three, you should probably still start these guys, but we're starting to have some concerns. Okay, wide receiver 19, Mike
21:33Evans. All right, going up against the Seahawks. Only the Chiefs have actually allowed fewer PPR points per game. Two opposing wide receivers than the
21:40Seahawks this season. Mike McDonald, you know, usually brings out the worst in everyone he faces, but especially, I don't want to say especially, but Brock
21:47Per and company haven't been excluded from that. So look, Mike Evans last week, if you guys check out my Beyond the Box score report, he got tackled at
21:54the one yard line on one play and then he also was open for a touchdown after he beat Patan before he left the game.
22:00By the way, Brock Perie had a rare miss out there. So look, where you have Matt Evans, get him in the lineup unless
22:06you're incredibly gifted. But against the Seahawks, man, not the world's easiest matchup.
22:11Wide receiver 20, I got DJ Moore going against the Rams on Monday Night Football. I will say though, man, like Malik Neighbors, I don't love this
22:18shoulder injury, but unlike Malik Neighbors, we got Josh Allen throwing him the football. So, all the usage, all the efficiency stuff from DJ Moore has
22:25been there. I just worry about this shoulder. It's a tough matchup against Trent McDuffy and the Rams. I mean, they have not allowed a single wide receiver
22:32to gain over 50 yards this season. 50.
22:35Shout out to Marcus Robinson for getting exactly 50. It is only week five and there's just so much upside, man. 54 and
22:43a half point game total. Get DJ Moore in those lineups. Wide receiver 21. Jaylen Waddle. All right. 35 or fewer yards in
22:51three or four games. That's not good.
22:52You know, didn't even have to ask chat GPT. That's not good.
22:57This Broncos passing game has nowhere to go but up. Bonix is playing the worst football of his career. I think Shawn
23:04Payeyton is another 30 minutes, maybe not even 60 away from yanking back to play calling duties. And what's he going to do? He's gonna feed Jaylen Waddle the
23:14football more than we've even seen yet.
23:16So, he looked great in that Jaguars game. That stutter move, double move, putting the corner in the freaking dirt.
23:23I still firmly believe Jaylen Wadd is really good at football. That guy was more of a low-end wide receiver, too. I
23:27want to see it. He's got the Chargers this week and the Seahawks next week.
23:32I've seen some recent trades for Wadd, guys.
23:36One for one trades. Amecha Ibuka, RJ Harvey, Debo Samuel. Again, maybe not in your league, but in some leagues that's happened. Could be yours if you ask the
23:46right guy. Wide receiver 22. I got Luther Burden guys going up against the Packers. It's felt kind of disappointing for Burden this year, but he's the wide
23:54receiver 25. Even with it being a little disappointing relatively. Maybe my expectations were just all out of whack, but you know, 60 plus yards in three or
24:02four games out here. He's tied by Malik Washington for the most tackles avoided at the position. And the Packers, their defense isn't that great. Who could have
24:10seen this coming? Jonathan Ganon leading a bad defense. What? Really?
24:1524th per drop back. They just lost Ed Cooper. They're not getting Michael Parsons back anytime soon. And Burton really seems to hate the Packers. I
24:24don't know if you guys are online as much as I am, but there's an edit that someone put together over on TikTok and
24:28it's the that 70s show scene, which was like one of my favorite shows growing up and it's Eric Foreman when he puts on
24:34the Bears jersey at the Packers game.
24:37And Don is like this is like, you know, wearing a Jedi suck shirt to like a Jedi rally. And then it just cuts to Luther
24:43Burton freaking choking the Packers quarterback out there. So, I love the attitude. Luther Burden looks good with the football in his hands. I think with
24:50Bean and Case Keenum, well, we saw it with Case Keenan as well, but with Beijing out there, yeah, he's getting more designed, quick look, quick read
24:57targets than ever, those PPR points add up in a hurry. Luther Burden, wide receiver 22, wide receiver 23. I got DK
25:04Mechav against the Colts. Again, he is a boomer bust wide receiver three who spent the first three weeks busting and then we got a relative boom in there. He
25:12scored a touchdown in week three as well, so I wouldn't exactly call that a bust. But, you know, Denzel Ward we
25:18talked about last week, not a matchup that we were expecting to see. Full shadow coverage and we're not expecting have sauce Gardner either, guys. 202
25:24snaps as a defenses right outside cornerback, one on the left side. Excuse me, I'm Ed Gardner. All right, I'm done with Sauce. You're getting you're
25:34getting beat by Trayon Burks, Dami Brown downfield. You got to earn back the sauce thing. This dude has one interception over the last four seasons
25:43combined.
25:45And I know they're avoiding him. They they were. Ethan Calamanis wasn't, you know. Either way, Steelers can get whatever matchup they want cuz they're
25:56not having the artist formerly known as Saw shadow anyone. Fire up Mechaf. Low end upside would say too, wide receiver too. Similar sentiment for wide receiver
26:0524 James. Alligator armored a potential 89 yard touchdown. would have been a lot cooler if he got that, but still cleared
26:11the 100 yard mark. And this Arizona Cardinals defense really does stand out as a premier pass funnel unit in the league right now. So, we'll get into
26:18more of that a second, but look, Williams, I know it's been a little more boomer busting when we preferred saw that legit like weekly top 15 production
26:26down the stretch of last year without Sam Laora in the picture. Only one of nine wide receivers right now with 25
26:32plus targets and zero receiving touchdowns. He's due. I think he finds the end zone this week again in a what should be a fairly fun shootout between
26:39two bad real life teams, but hey, they can score points and they can't stop offenses. That is red zone cinema right
26:44there. Wide receiver 25. I got Stefon Diggs going against the Giants. I saw he wasn't at practice on Wednesday. Again, the issues with having to get out most
26:52of the content before Thursday, but of course, we'll be back here on Friday breaking down all the relevant injuries and, you know, going off with whatever
26:59we need to based on all that. But look, this season, nine targets, six, seven, and then most recently nine with Terry
27:05McLaren sideline. Stefon Diggs, wide receiver 18. Reminder, he has not finished worse than the wide receiver 25 and PPR points per game since Obama was
27:14in office. So Diggs has been doing his thing. The Commanders are this sneaky fun like fantasy environment because they can't really run the ball on
27:21offense and they can't really stop opposing passing attacks on defense. So they have to end up throwing the football a lot. So should have Jaden
27:27Daniels back. I wouldn't blame you guys for wanting to rank Stefon Diggs higher.
27:31Again, it's just more so I would say some of these wide receiver twos like JO, you can argue Burden.
27:39Yeah, I can't get Diggs that much higher, but I wouldn't blame you if you want to. Wide receiver 26. I got Romeo
27:44Dobs, guys. I did not think it would take injuries to AJ Brown and M. Collins to feel good about really moving up Dobs
27:52in the ranks, but it did. And hey, now we're here anyway. So, nine targets last week. That was only two fewer than he
27:59had in weeks one through three combined and did good things generally with him.
28:02Man had the drop down the sideline.
28:04Would have been nice to tack on another 40 yards that day. But real nice one-handed touchdown. His route running is looking good. And Drake May proved to
28:11us that yes, he can in fact still be a really good quarterback in the year 2026. So, I will say the Raiders,
28:18depending on how much weight you want to put into weeks one through four performance, they rank really well in a lot of these defensive metrics, but they
28:26were the best defense in EPA per drawback in weeks one through two against the Chargers and Dolphins.
28:31Chargers one isn't exactly aging great.
28:33Weeks three and four, 15th against the Saints and Chiefs. I tend to think they're closer to 15th than one personally. Key question here, I
28:40mentioned the past funnel defenses.
28:42Okay, so I want to go ahead and look at which groups are being that. What I mean by a passfunnel defense is you're not
28:47just a bad defense, you're actually quite good at the line of scrimmage. And because of that, we see teams actually more so inclined to throw the ball
28:54against your defense, which obviously is good for us if we're trying to get down and break down, I would say, close sit
29:00decisions with looking at the matchup.
29:02So again, got a chart that you guys will be seeing now. You can see teams like the Cowboys, the Lions, and the Saints,
29:07the Bills. Also, like these are just groups that are pretty much bad everywhere, and we recognize that.
29:12However, when we are looking at more of the pass funnel defenses, the Cardinals, Dolphins, Titans, for now, the Texans, the Jets, and the Commanders do stand
29:20out. All those squads are 21st or worse in EPA per drop back, but they've been more close to league average or much
29:25better in the Cardinals case against the run. So, look, we're starting the Lions wide receivers. I don't think that's breaking news here, but Dante Meyers,
29:33Bengals wide receiver, too looking like with Jamar Chase out, maybe even T.
29:37Higgins out with his abductor not groin injury against the Dolphins. That's a great match up for him. Denzel Bosa and Casey Conpion against the Jets. We'll be
29:44talking about all these guys more here shortly. Stefon Diggs and maybe Antonio Williams against the Jets. I messed something up there.
29:53Browns against the Jets. Case or Yeah, Antonio Williams. Yeah, that's the Giants.
30:00For reference, guys, I got my like 5,500 word article and I made a mistake in the article and now I'm talking through it
30:05to you. So, we'll watch the film and get better. Then, hey, maybe even Jaylen Noel against the Tennessee Titans.
30:10Jaylen Noel is playing great football, man. All these underlying numbers are really painting a promising picture. He finally got his routes boosted a bit
30:17last week as well. You are in some of these, you know, deeper leagues. You know, you got some extra bench spots.
30:22Jaylen Nowell really could be a nice pickup for you. So, yeah, those guys underappreciated good week five matchups against defenses that are pretty sturdy
30:28at the line of scrimmage accordingly are following production up through the air.
30:32Tier four. For now, I got wide receiver threes with some upside. Mentioned Denzel Boston before, and here he comes in as wide receiver 27. And again, I'm
30:40just not in the business of taking away a player's good plays and saying, "Oh, look, they're bad." I will do it if it's
30:47a complete fluke. But I see people doing this for Olly Gordon. It's like, I'm sorry. He rushed for a sweet 50-ard play
30:54against a really good defense, broke multiple tackles on his way to scoring a touchdown. You're taking away those plays. Why? If there was going to be a
31:02play takeaway, it was when he basically almost pulled and Isaiah Crowell fell down. The defense quit and he got up and
31:08kept running and then they kind of replayed it and saw he got touched by a figure. But look, Denzel Austin looks
31:15great. He is an amazing company when looking at who has had the most receiving yards in their first four games over the last decade. All right,
31:24here's the list.
31:26Puka Nakua, Malik Neighbors, Justin Jefferson, which is hilarious that he's on there because he barely played the first two games. Chris Avedi Lamb, Terry
31:35McLaren, Maris Hollywood Brown, who still had some good years in his career.
31:39Injuries did him no favors down the stretch. Jamar Chase, and yes, Denzel Boston with 284 receiving yards in his first four games. I think some of these
31:48stats don't match my eye test with Deshawn Watson, but he's still been below average, which is a hell of a lot
31:54better than what he has been the last three years. And hey, EPA per drop back says he's even been good. Denzel Boston
31:59looks great. I'm not afraid of the Jets defense. Upside wide receiver three for me this week. Wide receiver 28. I got
32:05the Bomble. Again, you could argue higher. Wide receiver 16 in PPR points continues to blow my mind. 13th most targets. It's just a matchup. All right.
32:14I could see Brian Flores and his Blitz happy Vikings defense really stuffing Tyler Shuck in a locker.
32:20And man, I think I saw Hayden Winks posted first. the pass chart for Tyler Shuck last week. This is a dude who's
32:28not exactly been too keen on throwing the ball over the middle of the field.
32:32And hey, he's been putting up numbers more weeks than not, okay? But that would be something to watch out for because deep because you know, the more
32:39tape they get and the more tendencies that these defenses figure out, they're going to try to make Chuck do what he's
32:44not comfortable at. And right now, that has been throwing over the middle of the field. So, he's a big guy, big arm. I
32:49don't think it's an issue of not being able to see it like some of the other quarterbacks we talk about, but it is
32:53something to keep an eye on. And I do wonder if a really good defense like the Vikings could bring out even more of the
32:58worst in Tyler Shuck. So, Devon Bailey, wide receiver 28 for me, but yeah, continuing to feel good about the guy who you got again literally for free
33:05probably on the way for wire before the season started.
33:08Wide receiver 29. I got Debo Samuel again. Wide receiver 13 on the year.
33:1210.6 yards per rush. That's his most since his rookie season. 13.2 yards per catch. That's his most since 2023. And man, he just looks good out there. Maybe
33:22not. I I said beast mode Debo and someone said feast mode Debo, which is a little mean because he's playing well,
33:27but you know, sometimes mean things are funny.
33:32If we could just get more guaranteed volume for Debo, because it's still been more weeks than not around that four to
33:37six combined targets and carries Mark.
33:39That's just really tough to feel too good about, particularly in a tough match up against the Seahawks. Then maybe I can get him up out of this wide
33:45receiver three range. But hey, he looks good and the offense looks great. Not a bad guy to have in your flex spot. Wide
33:50receiver 30. I got Malik Washington, guys. 19 combined carries and targets these last two weeks of Devon Han out of the picture. It is so sad the 2026
33:58Dolphins offense has now become the Malik Washington show. But it is and I think we can see him do his best. You
34:04know, Jarvis Landry rookie year Jaylen Wadd impression where he's just kind of getting forcefed the football. And no, it's not a good viewing experience. But
34:11you look at your fantasy roster at the end of the day and you still see quite a few points. though he is making the most
34:16out of his opportunities. I'm not trying to be a Malik Washington hater. It's just like come on, you know, he should
34:21not be the engine of your entire offense, but he is in Miami type of Luther Burden for most tackles of this
34:26year. Volume base PPR wide receiver three. That's where I have him ranked.
34:31Wide receiver 31. I got Carnell take guys if you want to bump him up a few spots too. I would not disagree. 145
34:37yards in week four in a game that not, you know, not a coincidence. Actually did feature I would say a more good
34:42version of Cam Ward. not perfect, but it wasn't the world's easiest matchup against the Ravens. And he actually got back to doing some of the fun offscript
34:49stuff that really defined his rookie season. So, when you do look at this again, Derek Stinley just hasn't been constantly trailing opposing number one
34:57wide receivers. He spent 79% of his snaps as a defenses outside left cornerback. And accordingly, like we just saw the Cowboys do all last week,
35:05defenses are just feasting, I'm sorry, offenses are feasting on Kamari Lacier.
35:10He's allowed the fourth most receptions and the sixth most yards among all defensive players this season. So if the Titans want to get Carnell Tate away
35:16from Derek Singley, they should be able to. And accordingly, eight to 10 targets. Ford number four overall pick.
35:21Still not the world's easiest matchup.
35:23I'm not sold on Cam Warden after one okayish game all of a sudden being good and able to, you know, get Carnell Tate
35:29really going. But hey, he's feeding the rookie the football. Wide receiver 31 for me this week.
35:35Wide receiver 32. I got L mccon going against the Broncos. I just need to I want to see some full practices, man.
35:42Apparently, he's going to be out there on Wednesday per Harbaugh. He's been pretty much the only source of life in this Chargers offense throughout the
35:49year. H just still it's the Broncos.
35:52They're going to be banged up. Probably no Pat Certan. I don't know if Rally Moss is going to be out there either,
35:56but just still really deep. And man, you take away the Chargers tackles looking like Rousan Slater and Joe all be out of
36:03the picture for a while. We saw what happened last year. I don't think Lad Manka became a bad receiver in the
36:09second half of the year, but what we all hang our hats on down the stretch and it was like, well, Lad's production and
36:15Justin's production dropped because the tackles were out. The production already sucked this year when the tackles were in there. All right. And now we're
36:22taking away some of their best players ahead of more tough matchups.
36:26Wide receiver three for me until we see some some signs of life in this passing game. Otherwise, wide receiver 33. I'm
36:33going Josh Downs against the Steelers, guys. I don't want to overreact to last week. What I am reacting to is Daniel
36:40Jones being really, really bad, man.
36:44He's never had a lower mark in QBR, which is on a 100 point scale. He's at 37.4. He's averaging 5.7 yards per
36:52attempt, man. Only Jacobe is worse. But at least Jacobe has like a better success rate. So, I don't think it's all
36:57on Jones. He's coming back from the Achilles injury. He doesn't have his nine figure field stretcher. Even Keenan Allen was out with a groin injury. Not
37:04an adductor, a groin injury for Keenan Allen. I just think it's made it so easy for defenses to stack the box. Jonathan
37:11Taylor's averaging career low 4.1 yards per carry. You know what? That's usually where Josh DS and Tyler Warren work. And yeah, getting Josh D some more outside
37:19down the field stuff is a good thing in theory because he hasn't always gotten it before. But you know, he's what, 5'8,
37:26170 pounds, soaking wet.
37:29There was a time where we could feast on the Steelers defense with slot receivers, but that's not in the year 2026. They've allowed the six fewest PPR
37:37points per game, two opposing slot receivers this season. Josh DS similar to Lab Manki for me. I still believe in their real life talent, but I got to see
37:43more from this passing game before we get them up as anything more than wide receiver three. Wide receiver 34. I got
37:49Trey Tucker, guys. All right, Kirk Cous is playing great ball. We're going to see Jaylen Naylor likely join Jack Bash on the sideline and Christian Gonzalez
37:56could be out again with a shoulder injury. So, I get it. Brock Bowers is the one here. Michael Mayer could even
38:01have more targets than Trey Tucker during any given week. But as long as Clint Koviaak and Kurt Cousins do their thing, and we have this offensive line
38:09not helping matters at all in the run game, we're seeing Genty and at least as of last week, Mike Washington not doing
38:14anything there. Is profiling as a more fantasy friendly passing offense than I think anyone could have expected here.
38:19So, Trey Tucker for me, Boomer Bust, wide receiver three, but has a lot of good things going his way this week.
38:25Wide receiver 35. I got Jacobe Meyers.
38:28Jacobe is the wide receiver 36 on the season, which I feel like is just the most Jacobe Meyers thing ever. So, I'd
38:34like to get him up higher in the ranks, but similar to Parker Washington, it's just more of a volume issue. He's had
38:38fewer than five targets and all but one game this season. Look, if Trevor Lawrence makes a sweet throw over the middle between two defenders that again
38:45everyone's just going crazy on about watching the All 22 on Monday, I'm guessing Jacob will be on the other end of it. But again, only so much he can do
38:52with three or four targets per game.
38:54wide receiver 36. I got Roma Dunce going against the Packers. Season best 94 yards last week. It's just one of these
39:00things though, guys, where when we look at the way they're using them, it's all downfield stuff, which isn't bad always.
39:06We like downfield targets. Mentioned that with Jameson Williams earlier, but in an offense that is running the ball more than almost any other group in the
39:13league, it it doesn't exactly lend itself to being very consistent. You know what I'm saying? 54 wide receivers have run at least 100 routes this year.
39:22These are the only guys that have an average route depth over 11 yards.
39:26Jameson Williams, Rashad Baitman, Marvin Harrison Jr., Roma Dunay, Courtland Sutton, and Kahan Booty. All right, you kind of sense that archetype here. Not
39:36pure sacrificial exes. Some of these guys are still getting thrown the football, but again, much higher degree of difficulty. Last week it went well.
39:43We'll see this week. Adun has averaged 42 scoreless yards in three career meetings with the Packers.
39:49wide receiver 37.
39:52Speaking of Courtland Sutton, guys, no Pat Bryant out here this week with the ankle. Touching tribute from Pat Bryant to Caleb Williams, by the way, getting
39:59cuttered off for a sprained ankle. Just saying.
40:03It's going to be the Jaylen Wadd and Courtland Sutton show. But this is another point for Wadd, man. Sutton looks washed. Every single number that
40:12you want to look at, worst of his career by far. I don't know if he's quite as bad as those say, but the eye test isn't
40:17any better. eighth worst separator at the position among 45 qualified wide receivers among fantasy points. Only Marvin Harrison Jr., Mai Lemon, and
40:26Bryce Lance have fewer yards per out run. So Sutton lowend wide receiver too over the course of 2024, 2025, I don't
40:34think he'll be quite as bad as he's been, but with how broke this Broncos offense is looking, not going out of my
40:39way to get Corin Sun in the fancy lineups right now. Key question here, who has the best and worst upcoming schedules? All right, I've been breaking
40:46this down for quarterback, running back, and here we are doing wide receivers.
40:48So, yes, we got a handydandy chart that I went ahead and tweeted if you want the full thing, but I will be highlighting
40:53again the best and worst upcoming matchups in weeks 5 through 10 when looking at their opponents PPR points per game allowed to the position this
41:01season. So, easiest matchups go to the Giants, please stay healthy, Malik Neighbors, and maybe even stay good, Jameus Winston. The Jaguars, Chop Wood,
41:09Carrie Water. The Rams, please stay healthy. Poop and Nua. The Ravens, please get healthy. Lamar Jackson, the Vikings, please get good again. Kylo
41:16Murray and the Titans, keep it rolling.
41:18Carnell Tate and you know, kind of Cam Ward. So, Giants, Jaguars, Rams, Ravens, Vikings, Titans. You guys have the best wide receiver matchups over the next six
41:27weeks of action. Now, the toughest ones, Falcons, Seahawks, Patriots, Broncos, Chiefs, and Panthers. I will say as always guys, we got to make tough
41:37decisions every week and I'm fine using perceived tough on paper matchups as that tiebreaker. But that's what it is.
41:43All right. You're never going to see me move a wide receiver one. Like you're never going to see me as long as Michael
41:49Penn is under center move Drake London past the top probably 15 at the lowest.
41:54I don't even know if I get him outside the top 12 even with a tough matchup.
41:58All right. It's a tiebreaker. It's a reason to move a guy down in a tier.
42:02It's not a reason to completely change everything you know about football.
42:05Talent and volume wins out, particularly at wide receiver in my occasionally correct opinion. So in a lot of these cases, the Falcons, the Seahawks, like
42:13we're talking London, we're talking JSN, the Panthers, even Ted McMillan, as long as Jaylen Coker remains sideline, he's doing his thing, and he'll probably
42:21continue to be fine anyway if Bryce Young keeps doing his thing. I would say a bigger issue for the Patriots complimentary receivers for immediate
42:28bouncebacks for the Broncos and like expecting too much from Xavier Worthy out there. Maybe a new Tyreek Hill Chiefs jersey coming to you. We'll see
42:37what happens there. But guys, more ranks to get to. But first, I want to give a quick shout out to our friends over at
42:42Fantasy Genius because being in a long-term fantasy league, it's not just about the competition, it's about the history. And Fantasy Genius keeps all
42:48the history for you. All you have to do is connect your league and boom, you have access to every story and piece of
42:53analytics tailored to your league. And by analytics, guys, I am talking really cool and helpful analytics, okay? Love everything they're doing over at Fantasy
43:00Jen. And I actually got some cool data that might make you feel better if your team has been struggling but scoring a
43:04lot of points because I'm there. You know, I have a superflex team. We've had some injuries. Everyone has injuries.
43:10All right. I am 0 and4 in this league with more points than the team that has that's three and one and like it's in
43:18third place. All right. is tilting. I know you guys have been there. You're checking these numbers, too. And it's made me wonder like how do this does
43:24this team have a chance? Am I just coping by doing this? Per the fine folks at Fantasy Genius using 2025 sleeper
43:31data, the points rank after the first four weeks. So, independent of what your win loss record has been. If you're first in points after week four, you had
43:41an 86% chance of making the playoffs last year. Second, 79% chance. third 72% chance. Fourth, this is where it gets because again, you
43:51know, you you're top three in points, you're likely one of the top teams in the league. Fourth in points, regardless of your record, 66.6%
44:00chance of still making the playoffs.
44:01Over a 10% chance of winning your league. Fifth is at 58%. Even six is at 54%. Guys, if you're dead lasting
44:09points, you only have a 12% chance of uh making the playoffs. So, you got to be better there. So again, this is just one

44:45Really bringing the genius to fantasy football.
44:49Back to some wide receiver ranks, guys.
44:51Tier five. We're saying there's a chance. All right, so wide receiver 38.
44:53I got Jordan Addison. He'd be in the top 30 conversation if Justin Jefferson is sideline, but very disappointing let down last week against the Dolphins even
45:01without Justin Jefferson in the picture.
45:04I just again want to see more from Kyler Murray before I get too overly invested.
45:07and anyone not named Jed or I guess TJ Hawinson in this Minnesota offense. Wide receiver 39. Here he is. I teased him.
45:14Dante Meyers, Bengals wide receiver two, wide receiver one. We'll see what happens. This dude looked good last week, man. Caught seven of nine targets
45:24for 82 yards.
45:2626-year-old former undrafted talent.
45:30Didn't look like it. He had a screen.
45:33That acceleration was nuts. I literally checked the nextG stats, ball carrier speed to see if he registered something.
45:38He didn't quite get there. Usually you guys got to see 40 plus yard gains and then the guys, you know, have time to
45:43really build it up. But explosive dude that they were willing to get the football in his hands in design ways that kind of adds an element they're
45:50missing without Jamar Chase. You know what I'm saying? Obviously Chase's Yakab ability is on god tier. But I'm not saying freaking Dante Myers is even
45:58close to Jamar Chase, but I could see him getting a lot of the around the line of scrimmage targets, particularly with
46:04T. Higgins being banged up as a doctor injury.
46:07And just looking at it, man, what if T.
46:09Higgins is also out? If Higgins is also out, I can see myself drinking the Dante Myers Kool-Aid Pause all the way up to
46:16like wide receiver 30. All right. I don't think this is going to last forever. The Bengals do have a week six
46:21buy, but I don't know. Yosh is out.
46:24Mitchell Tinsley just can't get on the same page with Joe Burrow. Kobe Young has been banged up as well. We might
46:28have something here in Dante Myers, guys. He caught a back shoulder on like the last drive of the game as the
46:34Bengals are trying to go in there and win. He can do some stuff downfield. He looks fast as hell. They can design
46:39touches. Dante Myers, wide receiver, 39.
46:42What a time to be alive.
46:44Wide receiver 40. I got Casey Conception, guys. 28 targets this year without a receiving touchdown. Only Carnell Tate has more at 32. 17 targets
46:52these last two weeks inside of Brown's offense that doesn't suck anymore. He's still a special talent. I'm keeping him on my squads. I'm not necessarily
47:01forcing him in the starting lineups. I get it. But it's a winnable match up against the Jets. I do think we'll get a
47:05fun breakout game here sooner rather than later. Wide receiver 41. Keon Coleman. And this is assuming DJ Moore is in there. I could get Keon Coleman up
47:15inside the top 30 if DJ Moore is out.
47:18How much longer are we going to hold the whole Cam Newton cookies thing against Keon Coleman? This dude's had his head
47:25squared on straight. Screwed on. Yeah, screwed on straight for a long time now.
47:32He is third in yards per target this year and he's got 16 of them. It's not the smallest sample size in the world.
47:38Only Zay Flowers and Drake London are better.
47:41If we just showed you guys the Keon Coleman underlying stats, you said, "Hey, this is a thirdyear receiver. He's 22 years old. He's has some maturity
47:50issues, but that hasn't been a problem.
47:53He's in an offense that, you know, he's overtaken number three job from Josh Palmer. Cleo Shakur is doing Khal Shakur stuff. We'll talk about Dolan Kaden
48:02tight end episode soon, but two targets last week.
48:06DJ Moore is actively dealing with a shoulder injury.
48:10I don't think Keon Coleman is going to become this wide receiver one like DJ Moore potentially could if he stays healthy this year
48:18a Gen Z version of Gabe Davis. I think that's possible.
48:22I and maybe I'm coping because I drafted a ton of Keon Coleman last year, but my thought process then is pretty similar
48:28to what it is now. Keon Coleman is one of one of, if not the primary deep threat and red zone threat for a Josh
48:35Allen offense that we've seen prop up mediocre wide receivers before. And Keon Coleman, man, give him credit. He's making great plays out there. Doing his
48:45thing. Shadow Keon Coleman. Boomer bust wide receiver for a game we're expecting a lot of booming. Y 42, Cleos Shakur.
48:52Yeah. WC 43. Wandell Robinson. He's scoring backtoback weeks making $70 million. I do think Carninal Tay is pretty clearly ahead of him in the
49:00pecking order, but yeah, can only rank these guys so low. I received 12 PPR points in a game one time in his
49:07last 16. Barely got to 12 yards last week. He's playing the Cowboys, though.
49:12And we're going to talk about some of the best matchups. And guess what? The Cowboys are one of them. Last guy of
49:17this tier though, Deario Douglas going up against the Raiders. Looks poised to see something close to a full-time role.
49:23As much as Dob's getting the jump, I think when looking at Kyle Williams hopefully becoming a thing, which I would love to see, I just they don't
49:30play him. Ethan Chisum, sick one-handed catch last week, maybe the next great white Patriots receiver. Dear Douglas, though, man, this dude is twitchy. He's
49:41always been a threat in the open field.
49:42I think he's going to start getting more targets now with all these injuries going on. Drake May's number two pass game option in all likelihood. Yeah,
49:48Demario Douglas, wide receiver 45. Super Deario Douglas. Key question for this year, who has been the best and worst defenses this year against wide
49:56receivers? Okay, got a chart that should be on the screen right now. Cowboys, Commanders, Lions, and yes, even the Texans. They've allowed simultaneously
50:04some of the most PPR points per game, two wide receivers, and also targets.
50:09So, man, Texans really are dead last in PPR points per game allowed to wide receivers. Blowing my freaking mind, man. But, you know, four-week sample
50:18size for it. The Texans, they've played the Bills, Bengals, Cowboys, and Colts.
50:22All right. So mentioned before though, Stingley is not shadowing guys or at least hasn't so far. So I do think Cardinal Tate will be okay. Wheels up
50:29for anyone facing the Cowboys, Commanders, and Lions. Also seeing the Falcons, the Browns, the Bills, and the Cardinals allowing a lot of efficiency,
50:37just not maybe as many targets for one reason or another. The toughest matchups this year, Chiefs, Seahawks, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Broncos, Raiders, 49ers, and
50:46the Jets. So yeah, tier six the other guys wide receiver 46 Marvin Harrison Jr. had a nice touchdown. Got another endzone target out there he couldn't
50:56come down with. Dropped one near the two yard line that he got a DPI on. He's getting opportunities at least and we
51:02love the game script. All right, so boomer bus wide receiver four for Maserati Marv w 47 Rashid Shahed.
51:08Similar sentiment here. All right, I just want to be attacking these games that have high game totals in offenses where they should be throwing the ball a
51:14good amount. That looks like the Seahawks this week. And let's keep the rush attempts going, man. Really fun 28 yard touchdown run for Rashid Shahid
51:21last week. Fun seeing him get some reps as a true running back. WC 48, Khif Raymond. The most fantasy football thing
51:27ever, right? When you feel good about putting the guy in your lineup. He does.
51:30That's how fantasy football works. Yer 49, Chrisman against the Cowboys. We love the matchup. Why does he 50? Here he is. Jaylen Noel.
51:39Small sample be damned. Leads the league 23.3 yards per reception. 15.5 yards per target. That only trails Dave Flowers.
51:48Let's throw the football to Jaylen Nowell a little bit more and see what happens. Go stashes, dude. Seriously.
51:54Why 51 Ken Allen against the Steelers dealing with a groin, not an adductor injury. We'll see what happens. Why 52?
52:01Roman Wilson 60 yards and a touchdown.
52:0474 yards and a touchdown these last two weeks. People are saying, people are wondering, is Roman Wilson the best NFL player from that Michigan National
52:12Championship team? He's not. It's definitely Mason Graham. Blake Cororm probably better, too. But yeah, I got the buck I had on. Had to throw that one
52:20in there. Why 53? I got Antonio Williams, guys. Season high marks and targets and also snaps last week. Stefon Diggs, I believe, was missing practice
52:27on Wednesday. Not sure why yet, but either way, with Terry McLaren out of the picture. Good stuff from Antonio Williams. Also had a very long touchdown
52:34call back on the legal shift and a fairly iffy holding penalty out there.
52:38So, seeing good stuff from Antonio Williams. Not overly scared of this Giant secondary. could argue he should even be higher. Wide receiver 54. I got
52:45Michael Pitman for now. Sounds like he might be hurt though. He was on a scooter in the locker room. But I don't
52:50know. Is that just like the walking boot thing that we've also seen? Not really impact. We'll see what happens. But Michael Pitman revenge game against the
52:56Colts. Got to love those. Why 55? Dante Wix against the Jaguars. I want nothing to do with this Eagles offense right
53:02now. Why are 56 Trey Harris 53 76 and 60 yards in the last three games. I just wonder if Herbert's now even going to
53:09have time to get the sort of downfield shots to Harris that he usually has.
53:13Wide receiver 56 for me. Wide receiver 57. Darius Cooper. I do think Darius Cooper has overtaken Isaac Tesla for having like the most fun per catch. All
53:23right. So, don't start him. But shout out Darius Cooper. R 58. Mai Lemon.
53:28Sadier 59. Malachi Fields. I think sometimes Jamus well you know Jamus did get Lasic but I think sometimes he just maybe mistakes fields for Malik
53:37Neighbors and a guy with a touchdown last week. Wide receiver 60 Ryan Florenoid remains one of the best handcuffed wide receivers in all of
53:43fantasy football. And with that we are done guys. If you like the video please like the video. Hitting that subscribe button always does help as well. Hit me

53:57I appreciate. Mrs. Hardit didn't exactly agree, but you know, she did tell me that she uh, you know, appreciated it, I
54:04think. I don't know. I don't remember what she said. I'll be honest with you.
54:08Anyway, I appreciate you guys for tuning in. Ian Harris. Until next time. Take care everybody.
