Bounce back year for Justin Jefferson as an elite 1st rounder or should he still be a second rounder? #FFHappyHour with Mr. Reception Perception himself @​MattHarmon_BYB @​MBFantasyLife [Retweeted](

If you're drafting right now, who would you rather take: MarShawn Lloyd or Jonathon Brooks? @​justinboone and I discussed on the latest show:

There are so many historic and Justin Jefferson specific RP stats you guys will love if you read the full profile but my favorite is this one. Jefferson has now cleared the 98th percentile in success rate vs. press coverage in four straight seasons. Not only is he the first WR I've ever charted to do it four years in a row, but only one other receiver has even done it multiple times: Odell Beckham Jr. (2014, 2016 and 2018). [Retweeted](

Just sub in Kayshon Boutte for Kyle Williams here <

Kayshon Boutte's 2025 #ReceptionPerception Profile was added to the site today 👀 A couple of wild stats from his charting: - Boutte took 90.3% of his sampled snaps outside and 92.8% on the ball. Only four player seasons among the nearly 600 in the full history RP database (2014 to current) have seen a WR take over 90% of their snaps outside and on the ball. Boutte is one, and his backup, Kyle Williams, was one of the other four. - Boutte ran a go route on 34.4% of his sampled routes, the thi...

Don't let the frustrating 2025 season for Justin Jefferson fool you... "Essentially, if there’s an inner circle Ring of Honor, all-time-best Reception Perception statistical benchmark, Jefferson has hit it." [Retweeted](

Made the case for Travis Etienne as a strong fantasy target this season. Intrigued by the Saints' face-paced scheme, quality offensive line, lack of RB competition, easy schedule and Etienne's history of production. He's a fantasy RB2 with a path to another top-12 finish. [Retweeted](

Can Dalton Kincaid stay healthy and finally breakout in 2026? I definitely believe he can and so did our live audience (which was primarily Bills fans). Shout out to everyone who came to the show in Buffalo this weekend! [Retweeted](

I’m betting that we have another massive Derrick Henry season coming our way this year. Good news is that so are the Baltimore Ravens. Runway is clear for Henry to be an excellent Round 2 pick.

Extremely difficult situation to get correct, but here is how I'm handling the Josh Jacobs news. Includes notes on Marshawn Lloyd and my updated rankings. <https://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/article/fantasy-football-impact-of-nfl-placing-packers-rb-josh-jacobs-on-commissioner-exempt-list-202836289.html> [Retweeted](

Coming up in one hour, our live in-person show from Yahoo Fantasy Draft weekend will be going LIVE on the YouTube channel 🔥 Catch @​JoshNorris, @​justinboone and me breaking down our 12 players were willing to junk through the table for this season. Plus, my conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick on the starting QBs 25 and younger this year. <https://youtube.com/live/2ScG6U9nod0>

Tre Tucker 2025 #ReceptionPerception Profile 👀 Some highlights: - 56.9% success rate vs man - 78% success rate vs zone - Strong showing on deep routes Tucker isn’t a complete player but showed an ability last season to crack open zone coverages down the field on breaking routes. My sense is that his assigned route tree will likely fit better with his skills in Kubiak’s offense than what we saw in 2025.

Matt Harmon identifies Rashid Shaheed as a 'screaming value' in fantasy drafts. Harmon projects Shaheed to play more snaps than Cooper Kupp this season, noting that while Kupp remains valuable as a blocker, the team requires more production from their wide receiver group.

Whittington is expected to miss a couple of months due to a recurring hamstring injury. Matt Harmon advises against drafting him in redraft leagues unless an IR spot is available, suggesting he is only a viable target in best ball formats where he can be insulated by a complementary receiver room.

Matt Harmon notes that Jordan Watkins' role within the team's wide receiver depth chart remains unclear.

Matt Harmon uses Jauan Jennings' role as the benchmark for Dejon Stribbling, projecting Stribbling to operate as a power slot/Z-receiver in the offense.

Matt Harmon views Demarcus Robinson as the primary backup to Mike Evans at the X-receiver position, noting the team is pleased with his progress and he has prior experience playing the X-role for the Rams.

Matt Harmon expects Jaxon Smith-Njigba to be highly productive again this year, noting that his continued success is vital for the Seahawks' offensive efficiency. While Harmon acknowledges JSN recorded the highest target share for a receiver in the last decade, he suggests that while he will remain productive, his target share may regress from that extreme level.

Matt Harmon likes Tory Horton's game but expresses concern regarding his health, noting that he is dealing with an injury of unknown duration and is unlikely to be available for significant portions of the season.

Matt Harmon confirms that Jake Bobo is out for the entire season due to injury.

Matt Harmon notes that Jerry Jeudy is being avoided by the draft community, currently sitting as the WR80. Harmon expresses concern regarding his role as potentially the fourth option in a Cleveland offense with a poor quarterback situation.

Matt Harmon identifies Devaughn Vele as a 'boring' but correct late-round pick, ranking him as WR72. Vele is viewed as a reliable power slot receiver who is more ready to contribute immediately than developmental rookies like Bryce Lance. His ADP has risen 34 spots to 193, and he is considered a safer floor play than high-variance rookies, as he is unlikely to provide zero-point weeks.

Despite being an elite athlete (6'4", 205 lbs, 4.34 40-yard dash, 41-inch vertical), Bryce Lance remains a developmental vertical X-receiver prospect who needs significant work before earning regular snaps. Matt Harmon notes his poor college success rates (40th percentile vs. man, 18th vs. zone, 37th vs. press) and argues he is not yet ready for an X-receiver role.

Kayshon Boutte is mentioned as a potential candidate to step into the role vacated by Jaden Higgins following a trade to the Texans.

Jaden Higgins is out for the year after suffering an ACL injury, creating a vacancy in the Texans' wide receiver depth chart.

Matt Harmon identifies Nico Collins as one of his favorite second-round picks in fantasy football. While the team prefers to keep him at the X-receiver spot, Harmon notes that even a slight increase in Z-receiver usage would take Collins to the 'absolute moon' in terms of production.

Matt Harmon uses DeAndre Hopkins as a ceiling comparison for Jacobe Lane, specifically regarding the ability to win contested catches despite not being an elite separator.

Matt Harmon notes that Xavier Hutchinson will play a significant number of snaps as a role player and blocker, but explicitly states he is not a fantasy factor.

Matt Harmon advises against drafting Tank Dell, stating he is likely not ready to contribute early in the 2026 season due to the severity of his 2024 injury. Harmon believes his current ADP as the WR70 is too high and suggests crossing him off the draft board entirely.

Sterling Shepard is identified as a potential depth option for the Texans following the injury to Jaden Higgins, with Matt Harmon jokingly including him as a candidate to fill that role.

Matt Harmon uses Marquez Valdes-Scantling as an archetype comparison for Jacobe Lane. Harmon notes that Lane could serve as a 'designated X receiver' for the Ravens, profiling similarly to Valdes-Scantling but possessing superior hands and catching ability, which Harmon describes as 'tractor beam hands.'

Matt Harmon notes that while Rashod Bateman is an excellent separator and route runner, he has never been a consistent ball winner for the Ravens. Bateman runs a very low percentage of his snaps from the slot. His current fantasy outlook is further complicated by uncertainty regarding his legal situation and potential suspension, which has contributed to the rising ADP of teammate Jacobe Lane.

Jahan Dotson is so back
