Now, 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:24.000 here's your host, Paul. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.920 am Paul Charge in another post draft edition with Matt 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.080 Harrison at Explosive Output on Twitter. Hello, Matt, hey Charge, 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:36.560 how's it going awesome? Last week we broke down the 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.600 running backs that were taken after round one, which was 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.400 all of them except for one guy. And this week 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.720 we're gonna turn our attention to the highly touted receivers 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.160 that went in the draft. Now, just this your volume 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.200 receivers means we're gonna hit them all. But we're gonna 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.320 hit We're gonna hit the guys that matter across the 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.760 draft landscape and the fantasy landscape, who you need to 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.880 know about and what they and bring to the table 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.399 for your fantasy team. That is our goal here on 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:09.480 Fantasy Football Weekly today, and we begin first with t 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.840 Higgins who got drafted by Cincinnati. Tell people about te 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.800 Higgins and how you feel he fits into a crowded 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.360 set of wide receivers for the Bengals. Well, it's pretty 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.280 interesting too because Tee Higgins was the first pick around 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.560 two and there are seven wide receivers picked in the 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.119 second round of the draft, including the first two picks 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.479 of round two. So all these teams had a little 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.480 while to think about this and they're like, oh man, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.840 there's wide receiver values still on the board, So te 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:41.759 Higgins is the first one. Uh, it is suddenly an 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.920 embarrassment of riches that wide receiver for the Bengals with 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.400 a j Green coming back, but he's on the franchise tag. Uh, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.919 Tyler Boyd and John Ross who both might be out 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.680 of contract at the end of this coming season. So 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.920 Tee Higgins could be your long term wide receiver one 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.440 play in Cincinnati. If you're in a dynasty league, He's 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.320 a super interesting stash because, uh, they got obviously Joe 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.320 Burrow there tossing the ball, So Tee Higgins could suddenly 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.280 be the wide receiver one next year. Right now, he's 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.520 looking at probably wide receiver three on that depth chart, 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.639 but uh, I think he definitely out muscles John Ross 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.920 for playing time and he should be on the on 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.440 the field for most three wide receiver sets for the 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.480 Bengals this year, te Higgins has got out muscle his 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.679 opponents as well. He's six ft four, two fifteen pounds, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.680 the big catch radius and for a big man's surprising speed, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.600 he's got these long strides that eat up yards. Tee 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.760 Higgins and incredibly productive the past two years with and 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.239 almost identical stats the past couple of years roughly sixty catches, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.720 thousand yards, thirteen touchdowns, and that kind of productivity in 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.679 back to back years makes you feel really confident. I 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.919 think he think he flat out beats out John Raw, 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.440 maybe even by week one as the starter on the 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.760 outside opposite A J. Green with Tyler Boyd manning the 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.560 slot position. And I think you're right that a J. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.720 This may very well be a J. Green's last year 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.560 and Cincinnati same could be said for Boyd and or Ross, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.760 especially Ross, and Tee Higgins could emerges that number one 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.040 for what could be a decade long career potentially or 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.960 longer with Joe Burrow. And you know that's fantasy gold 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.200 right there. So I agree that in dynasty leagues, in particular, 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.799 Tee Higgins long term really not even that long term 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:35.160 beginning next year. Potential is really great. And charge I 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.760 made a mistake on Tyler Boyd. He is signed through 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.240 the three season, but he does play the slot. So 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.320 Tee Higgins from the outside is looking at wide receiver 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.640 one numbers in the very near future. There it's John 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.960 Ross that's gonna get pinched on this te Higgins move. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.080 It's I think it's it's gonna be the it's gonna 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.120 be the odd man out of this deal. All right, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.280 Let's go to the next player taken in the second round, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.560 and that was Michael Pittman's kid. And I'm old have 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.400 had Michael Pittman on my fantasy team many times. He 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.720 had a long career in the NFL. Now his son, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.880 another big bodied kid, goes to Indianapolis and all the 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.760 Colts and Frank Reich have done since the draft is 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.039 brag about how much they love this guy and how 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:17.360 they want to use them this year. What do you 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.560 think about Michael Pittman's fit for the Colts? And his 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.080 dad was correct me if I'm wrong, But the running 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.120 back for the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:32.200 that correct? That is correct? Senior? There Um, Yeah, the 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.040 path the playing time is really great for Pittman as 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.200 no one is really fearing Paris Campbell at this point. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.760 Oh I am he you are I I. Paris Campbell 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.000 to me is one of my favorite deep sleepers for 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.040 this kid. He At this time last year, we're all 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.600 really really excited about Paris Campbell and what he could 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:56.240 do as a sort of jack of all trades receiver 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.520 for the Colts. But then he had this just torpedo 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.520 this season, and I think Paris Campbell in year two 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:04.920 is gonna be a lot like the guy who thought 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.359 we were gonna get last year. So I am very 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.400 high in Paris Campbell as a sneaky play. That said, 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.080 still plenty of rome for Michael Pittman to get on 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:16.480 the field. Sure he comps similar to a Philip Rivers 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.880 old teammate of Mike Williams, who in San Diego and 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.360 l A was a huge red zone target for for 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.000 Rivers who who likes to target both the tight end 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.680 and the big bodied wide receivers in the end zone. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.200 And that's not t Y Hilton's game. That's definitely a 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.000 Michael Pittman's game. So I like him as a red 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.320 zone threat and He's definitely a guy that if I'm 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.640 looking at Best Ball leagues, I could see those games 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.960 coming this year where he might lay a few stinkers 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.479 throughout the year, But in a Best Ball league he 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.279 might be one of those guys who gets a touchdown 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.120 or two uh in four or five different games this year. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.000 So I kind of like that as a possible wide 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.120 receiver flex starter in Best Ball leagues this year. I 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.880 do too. The concern for Michael Pittman long term is 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.360 we don't know who the quarterback is next year, so 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.680 that's you know, that part could be a bigger issue 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.000 for him down the road. But for this season, those 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.680 big body guys you mentioned it, the touchdown numbers can 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.480 be there. And for Philip Rivers you mentioned Mike Williams. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:18.120 Remember before that Vincent Jackson, that big bodied receiver that um, 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:19.840 many of us we waited a long time from to 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.960 finally break out. He finally did, had some big seasons, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.520 ended up leaving and then did nothing. But um, that's 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.159 another big body guy that has worked with Philip Rivers 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.039 in the past. Let's go to the next on the Colts. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.919 I just wanted to mention, do you think there's a 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.760 chance that Andrew Luck returns to the NFL maybe after 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.039 this following year, because they signed Rivers for the year. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.599 I think he might even be under contract for two. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.440 But it kind of leaves the door open for Andrew 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:51.000 Luck to possibly come back someday. I'm not saying no, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:56.480 but he's made a hundred million dollars. I just don't think. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.800 I don't know. I don't know that he has any 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.200 any reason too. But you know, I don't have any 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.280 uncanny insight into where what his mind state is. But 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.040 he doesn't need the money. I know that, so I 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.080 don't I don't think Andrew Luck is gonna come back, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.000 but man, that would be that'd be awfully nice because 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.680 it's really sad how it ended there. For sure, let's 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.840 go to Jacksonville. Uh. Laviska Chanal is one of my 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.000 favorite players in this draft with I think just enormous 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.520 game changing upside if things can work out for him. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:34.600 He was incredibly productive for Colorado and maybe the most 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.640 explosive playmaker in this entire draft, which is saying a 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.559 lot when you've got guys like Ceedee Lamb and Henry 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:45.480 Ruggs and Jerry Judy. He's the explosiveness is there for 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.640 Laviska Chanald how do you how do you like his 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.680 the way he will fit into the Jaguars. I mean, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.640 if we went back to our earlier conversation on these 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.000 day to wide receivers, I didn't really like Chanult that 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.320 much because I feel like he's a little bit too 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.840 gadgety for me as a as a fantasy player. He's got, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.280 you know, the shades of Percy Harvin on the upside, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.640 but he could comp out more like cor Darrel Patterson 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.080 and that's the thing that kind of scares me about Chinault. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.520 But you can't deny the speed, and you can't deny 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.640 the playmaking ability. But everybody loves d J. Chark as 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.240 the top wide receiver there. Outside of that, d D. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.240 Westbrook is definitely beat Herble for playing time and the 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.840 Jags just let Marquise Lee go onto New England. Uh 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.480 I just wanted to ask, is Justin Blackman still under 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.920 contract for the Jaguars. I think he is, but uh 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.920 Chenault probably figures in as the second target maybe or 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.200 or or a guy who could get six touches a 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.760 game something like that, and that's fantasy viable aside from 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.200 the dubious quarterbacking in Jacksonville. This is an awesome landing 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.560 spot for Laviska Chenalt. He walks in with virtually no 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.520 competition to beat DJ Chark is gonna Is is got 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:03.400 deep playmaking speed. Chanlt is so strong and big bodied. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.679 He can catch over the middle of the field with 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.319 with DJ Shark opening up the middle of the field 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.880 for him, and I think there's a lot of good 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.240 a lot of good things that can come from that. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.360 He broke forty four tackles the last two years, the 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.760 most of any receiver in this rookie class. I think 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:25.640 he is a is a potential absolute fine for fantasy owners, 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.080 and let's just hope the quarterbacking is a requisite of 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.280 it in Jacksonville. I'm I'm pretty high on on Chennault, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.440 and I think there's uh I think he could be 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.800 a very helpful fantasy player if if things go well. Now, 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.040 he did have a variety of injuries in college, but 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.480 none of them were severe. It was just the kind 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.240 that would knock you out from a game here and there, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.600 a couple of games, or you play hurt through it. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:52.440 That's it's definitely a soft player. Is that That's what 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.640 that's what it sounds like. He's not. He's not as 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.680 tough and and manly as the Mississippi mustache Gardner Minshew though, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.640 well no, but can't believe you said dubious quarterbacking they 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.600 got Minshew. That's all. That's what I mean, exactly what 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.520 I mean. Uh. Then the next player taken in this 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.120 loaded second round of the NFL draft, the next receiver taken, 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.840 kJ Hamdler from Denver. This was Denver's just loaded on offense. 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.360 All of a sudden, they went Jerry Judy and then 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.280 they go with kJ Hamler. Now I'm not that high 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.920 on handler, uh, Handler, and I'm I'm worried about all 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.280 the drops in college. We've seen a lot of players 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.080 come to the NFL with drop problems that just don't 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.360 get better. Um, he's really small. I think he can 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.840 only play the slot. I think his upside is Tavon 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.280 Austin at best. And that's gonna mean from a fantasy standpoint. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.160 In my eyes, he's like a best ball guy. You 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.080 just you hope that you you have you've picked. You 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.520 know there's gonna be four games a year where kJ 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.920 Hamdler can make a difference, and you hope that you 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.480 had him in your starting lineup. Well is I mean 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.199 when you list off the guys in that offense right 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.040 now for skill position players, it's Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:05.760 Noah Fanse, Melvin Gordon, Philip Lindsay. I think all five 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.280 of those guys I would rather target over kJ Hamler 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.960 in the passing game. So he's He's definitely the sixth 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.200 option in in a team that would only play five 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.480 options at a time. But this is definitely the most 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:27.280 exciting skill position group maybe Denver has ever had. Um Well, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.120 I don't know. I mean, if you go back, you're 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.960 too young to remember the three amigos, Vance Johnson, Mark 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.120 Jackson and Ricky Natil. I'm telling you those guys were good. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.640 This was you know, there was Elway throw into those guys. 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:46.080 Were they good or were they John Elway past catchers? 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.240 I mean, this is Drew Lock if he's average at 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.960 at worst, this is a really good skill position group 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.240 right here. It is. It is a good skill position 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.520 set for sure. And Drew Lock. I mean, what I 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.320 kind of love about this is You're no, You're never 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.120 gonna be able to go back and look at Drew 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.400 Locks career and say they didn't give him enough help. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:14.080 Absolutely not from Aaron Rodgers syndrome. Correct. Correct. The next 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.920 player taken was another big body guy, Chase Claypool goes 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.720 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and there was some talk that 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.319 they were that some teams were gonna We're gonna turn 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.160 him into a tight end, but the Steelers should come 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:27.760 out and said, no, he's gonna be a wide receiver 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.000 for us. And that really tells you a little bit 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.520 about the big body that Chase Claypool has got. You know, 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.920 I both of us really kind of liked Claypool from 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:42.319 just the size and ability standpoint. Not super fast, but uh, 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.600 you know, just just a huge body over the middle. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.640 But the depth chart is where it loses me in 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:54.600 Pittsburgh because I don't really want Chase Claypool in this system. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.040 He gets to battle with Juju Smith, Schuster, Deonte Johnson 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.080 and James washing And for snaps, and those are three 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.960 decent wide receivers right there, with Juju being a great one. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.600 And then he's got Vance McDonald and Eric Ebron filling 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.680 the tight end spots. And Ebron was, you know, a 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.559 good pass catcher in the last few years. Even Jalen 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.640 Samuel's kind of fits in as one of those weird 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.240 flex players who's played running back and tight end. So 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.080 we need to clear some guys off of this roster 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.120 for Chase Claypool to be able to play. And I 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.480 don't think that I would be drafting him in redraft leagues, 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.440 but I think he's a super interesting dynasty stash because 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.040 once a few of these names clear off of this roster, 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.440 I think Claypool could be ah. He could be a 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.160 good find. There's already rumors out there that Juju Smith 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.960 Schuster is not gonna not gonna get a second contract 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.480 with the Steelers, which would be at this time last 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.320 year would have been unthinkable. And maybe people are overreacting 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.520 to what happened last year with the likes of Duck 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.760 Hodges throwing one hoppers his way. But this is a 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.040 make or break year for Juju Smith Schuster, and if 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.400 he doesn't pay and out, that could open the door 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.040 for Chase Claypool in a big way. When we come back, 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.120 we will talk about another of the players who I 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.479 do not like as much as the team that drafted him. 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.360 Find out why Van Jefferson worries me. For the Los 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:22.720 Angeles Rams. When we come back, it's Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.359 I'm Paul Charchi and my co host is Matt Harrison. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:30.600 We're breaking down the second set of wide receivers taken 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.080 in the draft. We already did a previous show on 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.200 the first round receivers. Now we're looking at this massive 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.600 second round of wide receivers and a few of the 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.560 guys that were taking in later rounds that we think 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.280 are worth mentioning as well. We turn our attention now 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.880 to Van Jefferson for the Rams. Tell people a little 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.400 bit about that landing spot for Van Jefferson, and then 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.000 I'll talk a little bit about why I'm not necessarily 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.400 crazy about him. Well, Brandon Cooks leaves a hole in 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.760 the depth chart, so that's a nice thing. Van Jefferson 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.480 factor and as the other guy along the outside with 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.320 Robert Woods likely manning the other outside position and Cooper 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.520 Cup in the slot. UH and Brandon Cooks, I mean 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.000 up and down career in the with the Rams. Uh 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.840 specifically with the concussions, but he did put up a 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.080 couple of nice games, not really that many last year, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.520 but in UH, Cooks did put up some some glimmering 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:28.040 hope numbers. So, I mean, I guess that Jefferson's interesting 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.560 from that perspective, But we didn't even preview him as 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.320 one of the UH top guys going. I think he 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.560 was outside of our top twelve wide receivers when we 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.560 did our earlier show. So what do you like and 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.560 not like about Van Jefferson? Charge? I only like one thing, 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.560 and that's his ability to get some separation deep um 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.720 and he's got some explosiveness to him. So I guess 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.240 maybe that's two things. But there's a lot that I 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.960 don't like about Van Jefferson. Low productivity in college, he's 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.000 not physical. Contact knocks him off his routes. He needs 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.480 to add weight and strength, which maybe he can do. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.840 But a lot of the times when guys have to 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.080 add weight and strength, we're talking about a twenty one 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.480 year old. He's twenty three already, and I don't know 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.280 how much more he's gonna build into that frame to 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.440 try to get bigger and stronger. He's never been in 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.840 yards after catch guy. I mean, so you know, you're 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.400 all those things together, and I think Van Jefferson is 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.200 is going to be a high risk. Well, I think 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.880 he was a high risk pick for the Rams. You 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.560 will be if your fantasy team as well. And I 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.720 would not pin my hopes on on him necessarily emerging 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.920 out of that depth chart as being a primary factor 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.560 at least no time soon. And I think his game 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.360 has got to come together in a lot of ways. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.400 Let's go over to Denzel Mims, a guy that many 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:47.040 people thought would go at the end of the first round. Potentially, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.840 this is the speedster who goes over to the Jets 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.600 where they've got a lot of opportunity to start, and 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.800 Denzel Mims probably on the field opening day Week one, 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.680 in the starting lineup for the Jets, Yeah, I think so. Um, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.680 he enters an offense that lost, uh, one of their 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.360 top two pass catchers and Robbie Anderson, and the other one, 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.399 Jamison Crowder, plays exclusively out of the slot. Um. The 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.280 other outside receivers Breshad Perriman, who has a first round 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.359 pedigree but has really only shown you know, three games 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:23.040 of fantasy viability his entire career, and they all came 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.480 at the end of last season. So uh, if you 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.600 believe that that was a flash in the pan, because 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.280 Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were hurt at the tail 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.040 end of last year. Then Denzel Mims suddenly becomes a 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.040 pretty interesting there. I really liked him. I was surprised 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.120 that he lasted to the end of the second round. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.640 It would have been I think he should have gone 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.720 ahead of a lot of these guys that we mentioned. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.600 I probably would have put him as the at least 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.200 in the conversation and the top three wide receivers that 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.640 should have been picked in the second round. But Chinn, 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.440 Alton Hamler, and Claypool and Jefferson went ahead of him. 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.640 So but I do like the landing spot because they 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.280 really gotta get some targets going. There's a lot of 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.480 vacated targets in New York. Bris Shot Payraman is on 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.440 a one year deal, and I think that's important because 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.639 Payraman's deal is straight line speed. Denzel MIM's deal is 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.600 straight line speed. And so while this year that when 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.960 they're on the field together, um because they're so similar, 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.360 I worried that defenses will play back, try to take 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.800 away the speed zone deep zone coverage, and it may 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:29.960 be that the pairman just gets a lot more balls. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.680 But under a one year deal, I could see next 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.679 year you know, Mims is the go to downfield receiver 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.800 with Pairman gone, and that might be more of a 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:41.040 twenty one play than a twenty play. Um, he was 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.120 very he was he was productive, and he had lots 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.840 of great plays at Baylor with an amazing combine, very 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.280 productive Senior Bowl and a good Senior Bowl week of 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.520 practice as well. But there's a lot of people who 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.760 feel like he's also very raw and that Baylor didn't 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.520 use him in a sophisticated way, asking him to run 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.080 sophisticated routes. And that made me that he's got another 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.280 reason to think one will be a better year for 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.399 Denzel Mims than necessarily twenty twenty. So I think that 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.840 to me is more of a Dynasty pick, Matt. Yeah, 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.520 I think I can. I can see that, And I'm 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.080 kind of hoping that Adam Gaze has gone from New 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.879 York after this year, which would probably usher in a 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.160 new offensive mind there that UH can really open things 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.680 up a little bit for Sam Donald and crew. So, yeah, 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.480 Mims is definitely a guy that's a stash in Dynasty's 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.240 right now. Yeah, I think so too. Let's go to 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.560 UH some of the players. Now, all those receivers who 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.520 have talked about. They all won the second round. That's 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.320 just the second round, which is crazy seven of them. 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.960 Let's go to some of the other we've hand picked 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.520 for other receivers that we want to talk about, uh, 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.000 that we think could make a difference or at least 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.800 be notable. Let's begin with Devin DuVernay, who ends up 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.840 going to the Ravens, and this is an opportunity to 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:57.040 get some playing time because that was a very unproductive 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.760 group of wide receivers last year. Yeah, outside of Hollywood Brown, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.719 it's pretty much open for business for diverne Um. All 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.280 you gotta do is be about Miles Boykin and Chris Moore. 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.560 I mean that doesn't sound that difficult. I feel like 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.000 thirty nine year old Matt Harrison might be able to 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.120 uh muscle them out for a few targets in the office. Well, 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.480 I'll mention that. Let me mention one thing about Miles 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:21.920 Boyken and and you know, they probably won't work out 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.239 for him basement. We saw a rookie year, but that 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:28.399 guy is a crazy athlete, and we knew that it 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.320 was going to be a longer runway for him to 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.640 maybe acclimate to the NFL. But you know, if you're 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.960 a believer in in in spark s P A r Q, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:43.120 he is a crazy, crazy spark specimen and people loved 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:44.760 him coming out of the combine last year. So I'm 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.679 not totally writing off Myles Boyken quite yet, is the point. No, 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.560 it's too early to write him off. He's in his 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.880 second year. So uh, Daverne is interesting that they did 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.440 lose some some targets with Hayden Hurst being traded to Atlanta, 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.840 So uh, there's a little bit of opportunity there, and 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.080 you think that they probably want to get Lamar Jackson 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.560 to throw the ball just a little bit more every 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.080 year of his career, maybe take a couple of hits 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.600 off of his body. So uh, I would imagine that 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.480 they're going to target their wide receivers just a little 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.080 bit more this year too, Yeah, I would. I would 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.520 not be surprised if that ends up being the case. Now. 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:25.000 One concern that I've got for Devon DuVernay is he's 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.560 a He's a slot receiver, and they run Marquise Hollywood 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:33.320 Brown about a third of his his his runs, his 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.760 routes have come from the slot, so you know, there 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.560
