WEBVTT - Day 2 Rookie Wideouts 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.120 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.560 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:14.280 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.959 and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:27.880 here's your host, Paul. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. It 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.080 is our final show before the draft. My co host 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.599 today is Matt Harrison. Hi, Matt, hey, charge, how are 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:40.360 you awfully excited to be able to talk rookie receivers. 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.280 We started the conversation last week, we talked about seven 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.400 rookie receivers. This week we're gonna continue that conversation forward 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.479 with another set of guys. And you know, Matt, this 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.960 is our last chance to speculate pre draft. You know 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.760 where guys might go. Particularly good fits the guys that 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.960 we love. And this is, by most accounts, the deep, 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:04.679 best wide receiver draft of our lifetimes. So these guys 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.279 mattered to mean the guys that were talking about. Normally, 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.440 we're gonna talk about guys are gonna be taken second round, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.760 third round in a couple of cases, probably beyond that. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.440 And normally these guys are are really dicey to make 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.520 an impact but not this year. Most of all the 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.120 guys we talked about are gonna have a chance to 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.320 make an immediate fantasy impact. Yeah. I think most of 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.600 these wide receivers are probably, uh, if not wide receiver ones, 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.679 at least wide receiver two or three's on their team. 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.680 So a lot of these guys are gonna get slot 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.720 play and the rest of them are just gonna be 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.559 on the field for the snaps and in their rookie years. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.160 So I like a lot of these guys from a 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.959 fantasy perspective. Yeah, fantastic. Let's begin with the notable omission 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.680 from our list last year, and that was Denzel Mims 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.240 from when I said last year last week with Brian, 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.080 Denzel Mims from Baylor, who Brian just didn't like and 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.640 didn't want to include him in his in his top 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.760 seven guys. But I think he's crazy and I've gotten 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.880 slated going in the first round, number twenty four to 0:01:59.960 --> 0:02:04.320 the Saints. Denzel Mims from Baylor. Breakdown Denzel MIM's game 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.600 and and I'll talk maybe a little bit as well 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.680 about why I like him so much as a potential Saint. Yeah, 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.520 I think I have him as the fifth, maybe sixth 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.640 wide receiver off the board. And it's a pretty legendary 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.000 wide receiver class, as you said, but Mims is definitely 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.480 one of the biggest wide receivers in this class. Uh. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.560 Fortunately for fantasy players, he's also one of the fastest 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.720 wide receivers in this class. Uh. He posted a four 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.680 three eight forty at the Combine that was third among 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:37.240 wide receivers. And he ranked second in college football with 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.560 twenty contested catches last season. And if you watch some 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.840 of his tape, it's it's seriously impressive. And I'm not 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.600 gonna call him Randy Moss, but the way he maneuvered 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.320 back to the ball in the air was kind of 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.519 Moss like. Uh, it feels like he's a late first 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.119 round or you said you got him on the late 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.919 first round. Uh. Bet online dot ag has him at 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.400 negative one eighty minus one eighty to be picked in 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.040 the first round according to the betting odds, So he's 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.799 a pretty big favorite to go in the first round. UM. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.200 I like I said, I think he's the fifth receiver 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:16.600 off the board after lamb Rugs, Judy and Jefferson and 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.480 the comps that I saw um from some of the 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.600 draft experts out there are DJ Chark, who is really 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:27.440 great last year, Kenny Golladay who's a stud, and Alshon Jeffrey, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.520 who up until the last season or two was one 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.400 of the better Fantasy wide receivers. So I think the 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.160 sky's the limit for Denzel Mims. Yeah, what those guys 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.040 have in common is they're all bigger bodied guys, and 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.560 with the exception of Jeffrey, they can get downfield and 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.520 they can get some separation downfield. And that's what's really 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.600 special about Mims is you rarely get a big bodied 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.840 receiver who has the speed to get downfield and can 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.360 separate downfield. And I think that's part of what makes 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.640 him him really special. Those acrobatic catches you mentioned, the 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.320 contested catches that you mentioned, that's um that part all 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.000 boats really well for Denzel Mims. The the reoccurring negative 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.800 that you hear about Denzel Mims is that Baylor just 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.080 didn't ask him to do very much except go run 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.560 fast and go run straight and we'll just heave up 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.680 the ball. So there are a lot of people feel 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.159 like he's got to learn a lot of the route 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.320 tree and it's there. He may have a first year 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.280 or two that's really kind of used as a as 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.080 a downfield specialist until he becomes more of a student 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.920 to the rest of the field and can learn much 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.359 more of the route tree. Well, and if he's a 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:36.120 late first round wide receiver, that means he's instantly glomming 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.680 onto an offense that's probably pretty good, most likely a 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.280 playoff team right away. So you put a talent like 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.719 that on a roster that's uh already been in the playoffs. 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.880 I really like the odds there so in the Saints, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.479 and you know it's certainly no lock he'll go to 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.800 the Saints, but the fit is so good because Michael 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.919 Thomas is a player who's um really got a complete 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.800 aime and can fill up most of the field. But 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.960 what he doesn't have is that over the top speed. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.719 You know, he's not the guy who's gonna take the 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.599 top off of the off of the off of the 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.080 field and forced defense is back and back pedaling because 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.919 of his speed. Well, that's where Mims comes in, and 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.159 it's would be perfect but as a compliment to Thomas 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.720 and why I think that would be so lethal if 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.320 those two get together, and where I could see Mims 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.960 really vaulting, it's to me. It's almost an ideal landing 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.599 spot if he could pick a place where Mims reasonably 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.360 could go to a team that could perhaps utilize him 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:35.680 the best. I think the Saints are one of those teams. Yeah, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.279 I mean there's a lot of teams that could he 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.080 could really be a difference maker for. Think about San 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.560 Francisco with their second pick. Think about Kansas City. Uh, 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.800 there's just Philadelphia is a place that they need a 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.640 wide receiver as well. They pick twenty one, I believe. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.679 So there's a lot of really good spots that Denzel 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.640 Mims could land. All right, Let's let's continue on with 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.279 a couple of other players. One of the other players 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.680 that is being mentioned as a possible first rounder, and 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.080 you see him periodically popping up near the bottom of 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.200 the first round for some different different mocks, is the 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:14.520 Colorado high upside, high risk, high reward guy, Lavishka Chanult. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.520 And this is the kid from Colorado who was super productive, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:24.560 elite playmaker ability, but also's got a variety of concerns 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.159 with him as well. What do you think of Laviska Chanult? Well, 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.880 I like to give the NFL comps because that's always fun. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:36.479 And let's start Channault with his comps, which are Big 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:41.320 Deebo Samuel or Big Percy Harvin. He lines up at 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:46.400 wide receiver, running back, wildcat quarterback at at Colorado. That 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.239 makes him the dreaded gadget player, and the gadget players 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.920 don't always work out from a fantasy perspective, But because 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.919 he he lined up in so many different spots, he 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.919 broke more tackles than any draft eligible wide receiver. According 0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:04.520 to Post with yeah Um, his forty time was an 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.760 uninspiring four point five eight. He takes a lot of 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.800 punishment in his game because he kind of seeks out 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.400 guys to uh to try to destroy too. It also 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.720 led to a handful of injuries at Colorado, including a 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.880 shoulder injury and a toe injury. And get this, he 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.720 was diagnosed with a pubic bone inflammation in February. I 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.280 wonder how he got that. That doesn't sound good. Um. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.360 His odds are being picked in the first round not 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.960 that great if you think he will be though you're 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.600 getting plus two fifteen odds for him to go in 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.680 the first round. I don't think he's gonna be a 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.200 first round pick. I think he's likely a mid to 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.120 late second rounder. I could see him dropping into the third. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.920 We need him to go to an offense with a 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.960 really clever offensive coordinator for him to be fantasy viable. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.160 And if he goes to a spot where they're just 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.280 not using the analytics and they're just not using their 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.400 their brains to run smart ways, I think chant is 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:06.240 going to be languished as kind of a special teams guy. Uh, 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.160 he's explosive in away A few players are. He's awesome 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.880 after the catch, and that's part of what you talked 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.040 about being used as a running back, not just a 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.600 little bit. He scored seven rushing touchdowns last year. She did, 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.720 and so he is. He is as lethal as anybody 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.600 outside is Ceedee Lamb in this draft class after the 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.880 catch and and I think you raise a good point 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:33.160 that creative, open minded offensive coordinators will find ways to 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.839 utilize him that can be very fantasy friendly. And you're 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.120 right there, he falls into the wrong spot. I think 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.640 he could be. You know, many of those dude seasons 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.559 that Percy Harvin had for fantasy owners could end up 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.559 you know, emerging here as well. Well, you know that'll 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.240 be It'll be fascinating to see where he goes but 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.000 in the right place, He's a guy that could make 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.760 a lot of sense um and could ultimately be just 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:59.120 because of his freakish athletic ability lavishka Chanal could end 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.120 up being a good player. Let's go to our number three, 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.160 our third wide receiver that I want to talk about again, 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.680 the guy that's being frequently mocked into the second round, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:12.440 and that is kJ Hammler from Penn State. The comp 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.840 I'm seeing on him a lot is Tavon Austin. Yeah, 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.199 I have. Tavon Austin is one of his comps. Also 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.440 Marquise Brown and uh, if we want to throw it 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.560 way back, how about Peter Warwick from way back in 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.559 the day. Um Hammler did not run at the combine, 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.760 but by all accounts he's one of the fastest wide 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.320 receivers in this draft. But at only five nine, he's 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.760 also one of the smallest, only a hundred and seventy 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.680 eight pounds. But he's definitely one of those legitter bug 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.920 guys that you just can't catch and he should really 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.199 factor in heavily as a kick and punt returner in 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.880 the league, and that actually might be his best role 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.640 in the NFL. Um there's some worry about him dropping 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.360 the ball. That was a bit of an issue at 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:59.960 Penn State. It was hands. It was a massive, massive issue. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.360 I believe the stat I saw was um, and I 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.160 apologize if for got this wrong. Is seventy catchable passes 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.920 last year. Twelve drops on seventy passes. That is a 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:18.160 horrifying percentage. And if there's one trait that scares me 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.480 about a receiver and the long term developmental prospects, it's drops. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.600 Because you've seen so many times where guys who have 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:32.240 bad hands just can't get it all together. And not always, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.000 but more often than not. You know, it's handful of 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.280 drops doesn't bother me at all, but when you're seeing 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.000 that level of drops, I I really worry about that part. 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.520 For kJ Hamler, now, get the ball in his hands, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.520 all bets off. Because he's super fast, he's super elusive 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.520 to catch even in tight spaces. I mean, that's his game. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.160 His game is get the ball in his hands somehow. 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.040 And if he can get you know, eight nine touches 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.959 a game, he he might break one. He's that good. Um. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.720 You know, this isn't a comp that I saw, but 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.840 a little bit reminds me of maybe Tarik Cohen of 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.760 the Bears. Uh, smaller guy who get get the ball 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.560 in his hands a few times and see what happens. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.720 But again, I think it's landing spot dependent how viable 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.280 he is in a in a fantasy sense, because if 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.360 we don't have an offensive coordinator who knows how to 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.680 use a five nine one eight jitterbug player, I think 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.240 he might be lost on the bench. See, I think 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.559 it doesn't matter. These guys never are fantasy factors, reliable 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.440 fantasy factors. Name me another guy like a Tavon Austin 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.719 who was a reliable fantasy producer. I can't right off 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.240 hand if if you would have prepped me for this 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.560 and I would have known that question is coming, I 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.079 would have dug deep into the archives. But it's probably 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:55.400 not that, Matt. I just don't think these guys are 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.319 fantasy producers that you can count on. Is is is 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.160 kJ Ham are going to break some slots, some slants, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.680 some some slant catches into long gains. Absolutely, he's gonna 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.480 score some touchdowns. You're not gonna know where they're coming. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.800 It's gonna be really really hard to know. And um 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.080 and so I think, uh, I think kJ Hamler from 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.880 a fantasy standpoint, does not interest me at least not 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.760 very much. Let's let's work at a quick break. When 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.200 we come back, I want to talk about the opposite 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.080 a one of the better big bodied receivers that you're 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.600 going to find in the in this draft class. When 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.800 we come back, Welcome back more Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.079 Paul Charge and my co host is Matt Harrison. We're 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.760 breaking down the day two wide receivers and there could 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.680 be a bunch of them. We've already talked about Denzel 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.400 Mims and Lavishka Chanal and kJ Hammler, who I'm pretty 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.880 down on. Let's talk about a big bodied receiver from 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.719 Notre Dame named Chase Claypool. He's uh, he's one of 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.679 the bigger guys in this draft class. He breaks tackles 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:01.920 with with strength. He's got, you know, areo typical ability 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.120 of these bigger, stronger receivers that are taking higher draft 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.720 They win these contested catches, Matt. He's got the ball, skills, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.720 the hands. There's a lot to like here from Chase Claypool. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.920 And we do see most of the fan the ongoing 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.960 long term fantasy contributors. You're after you're our bigger bodied 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.640 guys like Julio Jones and A. J. Green and and 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.440 so many others. What do you what do you think 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.640 of Chase Claypool? Well, first off, I think that he's 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:33.280 seven inches taller and fifty pounds heavier than kJ Hamler. Um, 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:38.480 we're not sure that Chase Claypool will be a wide 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.000 receiver at the pro level. A lot of people are 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.400 talking about him as a tight end. Um and if 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.040 if he does convert to tight end, that's fine because 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.640 one of the comps I found on him was Darren Waller, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.440 and uh, Darren Waller did uh a pretty good job 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.760 last year. Uh. He did gain nine pounds between the 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.199 Senior Bowl and the Combine, which probably means somebody he's 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.920 in his ear saying, yeah, dude, you're probably gonna be 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.839 a tight end at the pro level. But much like 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:11.120 Darren Waller, Claypool was an incredible overall athlete, averaged forty 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:15.320 five points per game in high school playing basketball. Uh, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.400 and he's one of two wide receivers at the Combine 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.320 to weigh more than two thirty pounds and run a 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.920 sub four four five forty at the Combine. Do you 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:32.160 know who the other wide receiver to do that was, Uh, 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.920 he's got a robotic nickname, Megatron. Calvin Johnson was the 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.440 only other one to do this. Um, his weaknesses are 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.680 becoming a great receiver. Um, he's really big, he's not 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.680 super awesome at the point of a contested catch, and 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.880 his route running also leaves a little bit to be desired, 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.360 which is why he's probably nudged toward the tight end 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.240 position as well. He's likely a second rounder in my book, UM, 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.760 comps of Waller. And then if you're going to give 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.000 him a comp as a wide receiver, probably DK Metcalf 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.200 who's huge and fast, and maybe Vincent Jackson a little 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.680 bit too, but he's a little bit of a slower side. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.680 That's you know. I like that. That's a I think 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.960 that is a really good comp to Vincent Jackson. That 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.200 makes a ton of sense. I like that. Now here's 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.560 for a major red flag for fantasy owners to chase 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.320 Claypool if if he goes to a team who's going 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.440 to convert him to tight end. That is a multi 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.160 year conversion that is does not happen quickly and will 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.080 take it will take time, and it and it means 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.080 a very I think it means potentially very little playing 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.960 time in his rookie year. I would be I would 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:47.640 not chase Claypool down significantly for Dynasty Empire use if 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.160 that happens, any use and re draft for that matter, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.480 just because I think you're gonna get just just the 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.840 timeline for him to hit the field. It's just it's 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.760 just dramatically reduced. When you need to go learn how 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.920 to block in line tight it's such a different position. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.120 I would be worried. Yeah, he he probably falls out 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.120 of you know, the the rookie draft first round if 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.680 he becomes a tight end. But uh, I mean, really, 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.920 the sky's the limit for a guy of that size 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.200 and and and the ability in the open field. So 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.400 I still like him quite a bit. All right, Let's 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.840 go to Brandon Ayak from Arizona State. This is a 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.880 player I like a lot, and I think could be 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.920 a sneaky entrant to the bottom of the first round, 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.440 potentially to San Francisco, which is where I currently have 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.880 him mocked. Brandon Ayak, what is I want to see? 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.440 If you are as it? If you like him as 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.520 much as I do. I do like him quite a bit, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.800 and I think You're right right on the money there 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.160 that I think he might be a tail end of 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.400 the first round guy. Everything I've read about a Yook 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.160 is that he's the hardest worker in this wide receiver class. Uh. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.160 He's one of those guys who wasn't really recruited, went 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.800 to JUCO for two years, started every game in his 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.600 two years at Arizona State after after moving up to 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.240 D one. UH really didn't break out until his senior season, 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.399 but Nikil Harry was right in front of him. In 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.879 his junior year. UM had some pretty decent success in 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.679 the return game. Had both a punt and kick return 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.239 touchdown last season, and that's something that NFL teams do 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.479 look for in wide receivers and UM. One of the 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.399 things that I forget who said this, but I was 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.320 listening to another podcast and UM, guys who hit the 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.760 pro level, if they have a special teams touchdown on 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.359 their resume from college, they're much likelier to break out 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.240 and be something of the success in the NFL. UM 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.679 great deep speed, very big hands, and very long arms 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.879 for his six ft zero frame, but wasn't a world 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.400 beater and contestant catch situations. UH, and he's a bit 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.560 of a late breakout in college, and late breakouts are 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.399 always a slight concern that it might just be a 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.640 flash in the pan year. Um they gave him comps 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.359 of d J. Moore as a wide receiver, which is great, 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.080 time Montgomery in the return game, which is also great. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.680 So I think Brandon Auk has a a very good 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.320 chance of being a noisemaker in this draft either too. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.280 I'll be fascinating to see his landing spot, and I 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:18.960 think he can help. I think he can help almost 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.080 every team. I don't think he's He's not somebody that 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.840 you need to find just the right spot for. There's 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.720 so this deep. This distract is super deep, and slot 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.480 receivers in particular, that's not him either. So I I 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.399 love the flexibility and I think his landing spot it 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.280 could be it could be helpful almost for every single 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.200 team he might go to. Let's go to k J. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.720 Hill of Ohio State, speaking of slot receivers, ran almost 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.879 entirely from the slot and ran almost entirely underneath routes. 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.720 And I think there's another guy that's gonna have to 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.679 learn a broader route tree than what he showed at 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:57.200 Ohio State. And kJ Hill to me is is a specialist. 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.639 That is a guy I need to find this landing 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.760 spot that's gonna use his unique slot receiver middle of 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:10.360 the field talents best. Yeah. So I was reviewing all 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.280 the kJ Hill tape that I could find, and I 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.159 just didn't see anything that looked particularly elite he was. 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.760 He was at Ohio State, and Ohio State dominated this season, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.640 and he was wide open on nearly every single one 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.800 of the highlights that I saw. I didn't see any 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.320 moves or super elite speed or size. But he caught 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.240 the ball a lot and he ran into the end 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.040 zone a lot. Is that a product of elite separation 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.520 or route running or is it because Ohio State was 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.400 so good and they were up by twenty points and 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.679 nobody can cover anybody with J K. Dobbins in the backfield. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:47.080 So um, his metrics at the combine four six forty 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.680 at the combine, that's not good. NFL dot Com gave 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.800 him a backup Special Teams grade as an overall grade 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.400 for him. Um. Like I said, speed's not great, scouts 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.000 are saying that a separation and route running his average. 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.399 Once he gets the ball in space. He does have 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.960 a knack for finding the end zone, and he comes 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.680 from the Ohio State wide receiver program, so he's got 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.280 that pedigree. He read shirted his first year because Michael Thomas, 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.359 Curtis Samuel, and Braxton Miller were ahead of him on 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:19.480 the depth chart. But I think on the upside, he's 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.600 Cold Beasley in the NFL. That's the combine for him. 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.800 I don't think that he's anything more than a slot 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.720 receiver that pops up for a good game now and then. 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.720 But it really isn't a guy that you want on 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.800 your fantasy roster. Yeah, I'm with you. Don K J. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.000 Hilt does not interest me, and I think, like I said, 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.560 I think he needs to find just the right spot 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.760 for him to be effective um and I don't know 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.159 that that's gonna happen. I see a potential slide for 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:49.959 him in the draft as well. Let's go to uh 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:51.840 we got two receivers left that I want to talk about. 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:56.040 Let's take a quick break, get to Juwan Jennings from 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.600 Tennessee and Brian Edwards is one of my favorite sneaky 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.200 under the our guys. But I don't know what the 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.119 radar is anymore because I'm seeing his name pop up 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.760 a lot as everybody's favorite sleeper. So I'll talk about 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.400 those two guys when we come back for the final 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.840 segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison, 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.639 with you were breaking down the second tier of rookie 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.880 wide receivers have already broken down Denzel Mims, Laviska, Chenalt 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:23.520 kJ Hamler, Chase Claypool, Brandon Ayuk kJ Hill we both 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.159 don't like much. And now let's turn our attention to 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:30.439 our final two guys. Juwan Jennings from tennesse See another 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:34.000 guy that didn't run only from the slot, but most 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.920 of his production came from the slot um but still 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:39.800 has a lot of parts to his game that could 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.800 be pretty compelling here and I think that again, in 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.280 the in the right spot, I think he could be successful. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.840 And I definitely like him as a as a as 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.520 a slot receiver more than I like k J. Hill. 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:54.000 But what are your thoughts? I'll let you go first, 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:57.000 what are your thoughts on Joan Jennings from Tennessee UH 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:01.359 six three to ten. Another big dude, but he's this 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:06.120
