This feels like a TikTok trend type of post, but fuck it, here are some of my favorite “takes” for 2026 1. WR going outside the top-5 to finish WR1 overall: ***Drake London*** 2. WR going outside the top-20 to finish top-5: ***Terry McLaurin*** 3. Favorite Sleeper WR to finish top-32: ***Dontayvion Wicks*** 4.

Best Late Round TE: ***Dalton Kincaid*** 7....PositiveUsageAug 10, 2026
Colts receivers are still criminally undervalued in all formats right now - Alec Pierce isn't going to be ready Week 1, and may not be 100% at any point early on in the season Tyler Warren has an ADP of 50.6 and Josh Downs has an ADP of 112.0 (lol) in PPR leagues That essentially means that there are 196 vacated targets in this Colts offense, which are going to predominantly go to Downs and Warren - That includes 22 red zone and 17 end zone targets Even if (or when) the Colts sign Keenan Alle...PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
If you play on ESPN and need any more reason to start your draft extremely RB-heavy The ADPs for WRs might actually be getting worse on this platform. It's never been easier to exploit this position (literally ever) Tee Higgins: WR21 (57.0) Luther Burden: WR28 (76.8) Mike Evans: WR31 (88.3) Christian Watson: WR36 (99.9) Parker Washington: WR37 (10.27) Michael Wilson: WR40 (106.5) Josh Downs: WR46 (127.6) Quentin Johnston: WR50 (143.2) Chris Godwin: WR51 (143.8) Romeo Doubs: WR54 (149.1)PositiveUsageJul 28, 2026
I wonder if Josh Downs knows how much I love and believe in him this year My glorious king's 0.25 TPRR through the first three seasons of his career ranks 8th-highest among all WRs since the 2021 rookie class (Ryan Heath Stat) But did you also know that Downs commanded that number while lining up in 3WR+ sets on 97.1% of his routes? (Kyle Menton Stat) By far the highest percentage among the WRs in this sample (per @FantasyPtsData) Now, imagine him in 2WR sets with Alec Pierce hobbled and hurtPositiveInjuryJul 27, 2026
I already cannot stand 95% of the training camp posts we're seeing daily (useless, overly hyperbolic nonsense) So, here are 17 things you should actually pay attention to during Training Camp: 1. When Malik Nabers starts participating with full pads and how he looks doing so 2. Jordy Tyson being a full participant with zero limitations throughout camp 3. Confirmation that Makai Lemon is 100% ready to go, and his hamstring won't be an issue 4. Josh Downs' usage and performance when lining up o...NegativeUsageJul 24, 2026
This a great question. Who should we expect to see a large increase in First Read Target Share in 2025? 1. DeVonta Smith He ranked 15th at 28.8% last season, but could clear 35%+ with AJ Brown gone 2. Terry McLaurin He ranked 28th at 25.8% during a season where he and Jayden Daniels were often injured (rarely playing together) 3. Christian Watson Even though he was a big riser in 2025, I think his 1READ continues to increase (34th-ranked 23.9% in 2025) 4. Michael Pittman He ranked 38th at 23....PositiveUsageJul 24, 2026
On the flip side, which WRs saw the biggest decrease in their First Read Target Share from 2024-2025? (per @FantasyPtsData) 1. Cooper Kupp: -14.1% 2. Chris Godwin: -12.9% 3. Christian Kirk: -12.2% 4. Josh Downs: -10.6% 5. Ladd McConkey: -8.7% 6. Davante Adams: -8.3% 7. AJ Brown: -7.1% 8. Brian Thomas: -6.7% 9. Courtland Sutton: -6.4% 10. Stefon Diggs: -6.4% I think several of these players can bounce-back toward their 2024 1READ numbers: Chris Godwin, Josh Downs, and Ladd McConkey
