Top 10 Fantasy MVP Picks for 2021 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/1

And you have really good odds at getting one of those 60-yard touchdown runs. You win your week. I am in on Rahim Moster for draft day right now. I like grabbing him. I like capitalizing on the falling value of him in drafts. And I do think if I started strong with him, I might move on. I might capitalize on what looks to be a star just because of the situation. But I like, I like, I like, he might only be a first half MVP for you.

Yes, that would be my take. I'd be happy with that, to be honest. My confidence in Mostard is not anywhere near where it is for you guys, but you don't have to pay with a confidence pick in your draft. His ADP, back of the sixth round. It's insane. A seventh round running back. He's not even in the dead zone. And so for those reasons, I am in and very, very happy to draft him there. All right, my.

2021 fantasy MVP is scary. Terry McLaren. Scary Terry, the Washington wide receiver, who already has shown that he is a fantastic world beater, but he has been on a putrid offense with terrible quarterback play. And I believe that this is the year where in totality, he is going to truly dominate for fantasy. I'm very confident. I don't have any issues with Terry McLaurin, the player.

The talent, anything I've ever seen on the field. He is fast. He's a great route runner. He has good hands. He is a clear number one that would be hard for any team to guard. And to recap last year in 15 games, he had 134 targets, 1100 yards. Again, only four touchdowns. That was the problem for him. He had the ninth most targets, the sixth most yards after catch because he's great. He dealt with an ankle injury. He missed a game. But here's what happened last year.

If you weren't paying attention to the Washington football team, especially through the beginning of the year because who wanted to watch that entire division, here's what happened. The first 10 weeks, he was a top 10 wide receiver. And that included his buy. He was outstanding. But then Alex Smith. And keep in mind, that was with Dwayne Haskins, Kyle Allen.

Later, Tyler Hennocky and Alex Smith got in. Once Alex Smith came in, that's where everything changed for Terry McClure. And he wasn't the worst. He wasn't terrible. He had a good game here or there. But what changed for him was the deep targets because that's what Alex Smith obviously couldn't throw. I mean, he was the checkdown king. You want to talk about Teddy Bridgewater, not ever going deep. Everything down to the line of screen. Teddy was 7.6 yards per attempt.

Alex Smith was 6.3. This guy did not throw the ball deep. In fact, in those first 10 weeks, deep targets to Terry McLaurin, he had 13 of them, and three were contested catches. Once Alex Smith took over, he only had seven, and all seven were contested catches. There were no good deep passes to Terry McLaren. That's why he was no longer at the pace that he was without Alex Smith. Enter in Ryan Fitzpatrick, who obviously...

is a locked in on wide receiver. You know, last year, Washington football team was 30th in terms of wide receiver target share. And if you look at Fitzmax's history of throwing the wide receivers, I brought this up where it was on my love for Curtis Samuel when he said, Terry and Curtis are my best friends. 2014, he ranked number second, 2015 ranked first, 2016 ranked first, 2018 ranked first, and as far as wide receiver target share. Number second?

Number two. Number two. He throws to the wide receivers. He peppers him with targets. I just think Terry McLaurin with a competent quarterback is going to be great. And third round MVP's at wide receiver, they happen every year. Tyreek and Adam Thielen won people championships in 2018. Godwin Cup and Ghaladay in 2019. Last year, it was Calvin Ridley, D.K. Metcalfe. This year, I think it's Terry McLaren. Terry McLaurin just.

for a reminder, because the argument for touchdowns, he had four in 15 games. He had seven in 14 games as a rookie. So it's not, I don't think we have a career pattern already set in two years that Terry doesn't get into the end zone. All right, that'll do it for the fantasy MVP episode. We'd love to hear from you, Twitter at the FF Ballers, with your fantasy football MVP's. What do we got going on tomorrow, Brooksie? What's tomorrow's episode? Great Scott.
