Should You Draft These Receivers That Have Bad QB's?

Matt Harmon suggests that the Tennessee offense may sacrifice Calvin Ridley's role to accommodate other receivers, noting that he is currently being overlooked in drafts.

Matt Harmon is worried about Carnell Tate's fantasy outlook due to the Tennessee offense, the poor performance of quarterback Cam Ward, and a role that is not quarterback-proof. Despite a 67.6 ADP, Harmon notes Tate is being drafted ahead of Brian Thomas Jr., which he disagrees with given the offensive environment.

Matt Harmon is high on Cedric Tillman, citing his elite separation metrics (92nd percentile vs. man) and potential for a 'PPR scam' role similar to Zay Flowers' rookie year; Harmon ranks him at WR41, well ahead of his WR49 ADP. Harmon notes Tillman was moved to the Z-receiver position in a scheme change he found questionable, but still explicitly prefers drafting him over Quentin Johnston.

Matt Harmon views Chris Olave as comparable to Drake London in talent but prefers Olave due to his established, quarterback-proof role in the offense.

Matt Harmon advises against drafting Drake London due to his high ADP (22.5, late second round) and the poor surrounding situation, despite acknowledging his talent. Before his injury last year, London averaged 10.4 targets per game with a 28.8% target-per-route-run rate. Harmon expresses concern that London could be forced into an X-receiver role, which would negatively impact his fantasy outlook, as his success is tied to 'Z slot' usage similar to CeeDee Lamb.

Matt Harmon identifies Garrett Wilson as a strong buy at his 37.2 DraftKings ADP, emphasizing his elite ability to separate and command targets regardless of quarterback play. Wilson posted a 93rd percentile success rate versus man coverage, 88th against press, and 81% against zone last year. Harmon expects Wilson to maintain a productive off-ball Z-receiver role, with slot usage exceeding 30% and over 50% of snaps coming off the line of scrimmage, while AD Mitchell occupies the X-receiver spot.

Matt Harmon identifies Jahan Dotson as a roster teammate of Drake London, noting that Dotson is not an X-receiver and will likely operate in the Z-slot.

Matt Harmon uses Jerry Jeudy as a cautionary example of a player who was moved to the X-receiver position in a scheme he disliked, citing this as a potential risk for other receivers.

Matt Harmon expresses significant concern regarding Michael Penix Jr.'s ability to support fantasy production, citing poor performance in camp videos and questioning his mobility from under center. Harmon notes a mismatch between Penix's skill set as a shotgun passer and the team's offensive scheme, further complicated by Penix returning from a major knee injury.

Matt Harmon ranks Nico Collins ahead of Drake London, citing a superior quarterback situation with C.J. Stroud, elite efficiency over the last three seasons, and a high volume of targets.

Matt Harmon mentions Olamide Zaccheaus as a Z-slot receiver on the current roster alongside Drake London.

Matt Harmon explicitly states he would draft Cedric Tillman ahead of Quentin Johnston, implying Johnston is a less desirable target at his current draft position.

Matt Harmon highlights Trey Tucker as a strong value in best ball drafts (WR63, ADP 157.5). Despite being an incomplete player with poor success rates against man/press, his 76.9% success rate on dig routes and elite speed make him a 'spike week' player who fits the Raiders' scheme. Harmon notes he led the team in snaps last year and is a viable target to help open up the field for Brock Bowers.

Matt Harmon highlights Wan'Dale Robinson as a potential target who could lead the team in receptions. He notes that Robinson runs a diverse route tree and receives designer touches, making him a more favorable option than Carnell Tate in the current Tennessee offensive structure.

Matt Harmon identifies Zachariah Branch as a Z-slot gadget receiver on the roster.
