Fantasy Football - Top 10 WR Rankings + What Could Go Wrong? - Podcast for 8/10

targets receptions in four straight years over 1,000 yards and all of them, but up by 1,500 yards. Triple-digit touchdowns in three years in a row. Like, it feels we are disrespectful to him. Yeah, I do, and I think it's a good discussion with this guy. Number three. So Jackson Smith and Jigba was unbelievable last year, 17.7 fantasy points per game, insane. Super Bowl champ, 1793 receiving yards, led the league, 35% target share. That's insane.

But we have talked at length like everything went right for JSN last year. He was not the same level of total volume as the other top tier type of guys. He was just exceptionally, exceptionally efficient with his work. I guess the question being is, you know, everybody, I mean, CD had a 17 plus point year, right? And it was a special year. Amun Ra had one.

Right, two years ago. He somehow finished at third still because, of course, but he was at 17. So you do have special years. Double-digit touchdowns for JSN, 1700 yards, 15 a catch. That was way higher than we'd seen before. Catch rate is 73%. I think it's a very fair discussion, the JSN versus Al-Munrah question. I do too, and I wouldn't have any issue with taking Al-N-Raw over J-S-N. I think the...

The hope is that because J.S.N. is so young. He's 24 years old. He's still getting better. There's no one else really to throw the ball for this team. However, this is a team that wants to play great defense and they can. They want to run the ball, spend a first round pick on a running back. And, you know, so it's like, how does this team win? Does this team put up 30 points as often as the lions? No. And so, I mean, we're splitting hairs, but I think that.

We've seen enough years in a row of 110 receptions and double-digit touchdowns from Amman Ra. JSN, we've got one, and it was better. But, yeah, it's an interesting debate there. They're both, they're the same as the lines. They're favored in 14 or 17 weeks. Look at the red zone for JSN. Target-wise, he didn't dominate his compatriots on the offense. He had 15 targets in the red zone. Barner.

13. Cooper Cup 12. Now Rashid Shaheed gets an offseason to establish in this offense. You get back Tori Horton. You didn't have him before. I wouldn't be just surprised to see Jason's target share come down a little bit. Yeah. Arguing against J.S.N. feels... Yeah, I mean, I don't want to. No, I know. Just draft him and be happy. That's... I think that's where I'm at, but there's just two other guys I would take in front of him. 36%.

Yeah, that's a... Taking the over or the under on that one? I will go under. Yeah, you got to take the under there. 56% of the wide receiver targets on that offense. But he's great. Draft him. He's awesome. Number two. Jamar Chase comes in at two. Really? But Jason and Mike both have him at one. So figure that out. This is a points versus ranking situation where you... The difference in points. Yes. The point total.

of the three of us combined has Puka higher because you have Puka higher than Jamar in a greater gap than Mike and I do. Yeah, and we can talk about both of them. I'll hit the button. Number one. We'll talk about Jemar and Puka in the same conversation because both are awesome. I mean, statistically last year, both guys missed a game. Puka was at 19.4 fancy points a game and Chase was at 15.7. Chase's season before was at 20.

Both of these guys are going to be pushing those numbers every single year. I just like Puka more because I think I like the volume more. But how, I mean, to me, Puka is going to be, like we were talking about breaking fantasy with Jumea Gibbs. It looks like Gibbs is just set up to have an incredible year. That is Puka for me. I just think that I trust McVeigh to get him the ball a ton. I don't.

I think Higgins is probably greater sign Adams right now in the career. But splitting hairs. You guys both have Jamar Chase ahead. I don't care. Yeah, I mean, we don't care either. Both guys are awesome. We're not doing the debate show very good. Puka. You guys like him? Okay, that's cool. I don't care. I mean, I don't understand. If I was on the clock and I had to choose, the reason I would choose chase over Puka is simply because of the.

offensive and defensive environments. I think that the ceiling case for the Bengals and Burrow, when he is healthy, is higher than the ceiling case for the Rams, especially assuming Aaron Donald is added to this team. And their defense is one of the best in the league. And maybe they can win at the end of games where they don't need to throw the ball that much. And I mean, you could argue maybe Puka does something dumb legally.

Yeah, if you want to lose the risk. I mean, these guys are literally capable of pushing 200 targets. I think this year, they're capable of pushing 200 targets. You have the MVP of football at quarterback for the Rams, and you have a quarter – they were a good defense last year, and so my counterpoint to that is McVeigh just doesn't let up on other opposing teams. They like burning people to the ground. No, I'm with that. I think I am in agreement of Jason's case of the –

The more likely sealing outcome and projection for me is, is Jamar. But you want to take both? I would take both. I would take both of them if you get the chance. Yeah, we're, I can't even argue this. No, I mean, they're both, they're both machines. I mean, all these guys are. I think if you end up with Puka, Jamar, Jassin, or Gibbs, or, or, uh, Amanra. I think that is, I think that's the actual tear break to me.

And no disrespect to C.D. Lamb's awesome. But I think because C.D. Lamb has been, I mean, he's been eight and 18 for whatever you're missing games. I know, I know, I know. But those other guys have been at 15 plus fancy points in the last three years. And those guys, you know, the other guys haven't. Jefferson, London, those guys. So it's fun. I mean, I think we all have a few names in the wide receiver category that I think are really sneaky.

maybe outside the top 20. I know you and I were talking Carnell Tate this morning. Yeah, that was the name I was going to bring up is if you want a guy that's going to surprise and come from much lower to be a top 10 wide receiver, you're talking about a rookie superstar, and that's what they drafted him to be. We'll see on the field if Cam Ward can support that. It's been a good camp according to reports. Yeah, I mean, the connection there, he's been the clear number one, and I think he's mispriced.

Christian Watson. Yeah, I think Watson, Ladd-McConkie, Abuka, and who else am I thinking about jumping up into that? A burden. I think those are special players that are outside the top 10 that could get up in there for sure. You up for a little mailbag, Mike? Sure. Mailbag.

My question is simple. How come there's not enough hype around Judarian Price? First round draft pick, Super Bowl winners, day one starter, going low in redrafts. Why is there such a difference between ADP of love and price? It's a great question. I think that the biggest reason is the...

worry of passing role. He had no production profile on college of work in the receiving game. If he doesn't have that in the NFL, it would be very difficult to be great for fantasy, but everything you laid out is great. You're a first round talent, or at least a first round draft pick, on a team that lost both of their starting running backs from last year with a good offensive line and good offense. He's on his way up, ADP-Y. So if you're drafting right now, enjoy your

sixth round running back pick as once preseason games are going on i week let's say preseason game week two if gerian price goes out and takes the first snap he'll he'll jump at least to the fifth probably the back of the i love the fact that i mean almost every highlight i see is receiving work every i mean his head coach came out and said he's like a wide receiver and that nobody can cover him

And the highlights are downfield catches for Jadarian Price. He is someone that could get on the Abdullah Express this preseason. If he has one runaway touchdown run and he's going to skyrocket two rounds. If you like Jadarian Price, I would hope he does nothing in this preseason. Yeah, if you're a believer, hope he stays low.

Bella says Dynasty Win Now team, would you rather have Rashi Rice or Garrett Wilson and Tyson? Garrett Wilson and Tyson? Like... I mean, if you said Rashi Rice or Garrett Wilson in a dynasty... If you said Rashi Rice or Jordan Tyson in a dynasty, I would take... Well, it's win now. Yeah. No, I get it. I'd rather win now with Garrett Wilson. I'd rather win now with... Gotcha. Because it's close enough in a dynasty to where...

It's not only, it's never only win now. It's, I'm trying to win now. You can still win now with those other guys. Man, if you could. If you could pull that trade off. That seems wild to be able to bail out of rice for those two guys. All right, that is going to wrap it up for today's episode of the show. The giveaway is still going on footclang giveaway.com.
