Top 10 WR Rankings + Bust Possibilities, Yardage Leaders

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Every football fan is different. Some won't wash their lucky mustard-stained jersey until the season's over. Some insist they can't sit down on third downs and some pick their favorite team because, I don't know, just like football fandom, nobody's life is exactly the same. And that's why State Farm gets to know you, not as a policy number, but as an actual person.

so they can help personalize a coverage plan that's just for you. Whether it's game day or just another Tuesday, State Farm has you covered.

Coming to you from pristineauction.com studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. That's all I got. What was that? Well, I was a little distracted, too.

Brooks trying to convince me it's Thursday in the dock. Look at his eyes. Look how big his eyes got. I see Tuesday. Yeah, I just wrote Tuesday in Brooks. I see Tuesday. Uh-huh. My voice is not ready to go. Do you need me to handle it? No, God forbid. Got to give the people what they want. I'll take care of things. Welcome in. We're back from L.A. The My Guys episode. Oh, what a show it was. That was a blast.

I mean, L.A., that crowd, they were, they were ruckus. Was it L.A., Jason? Or was it St. Louis? TBD. I don't know. At the end of the day, the episode, we did it. It was fabulous. And I, in particular, loved my guys the most of the nine that we brought forth. That makes sense. It makes sense. Today, we are in...

to the wide receiver rankings. We've got the top 10 wide receivers on the show today. And I'm going to put this in there too, Mike, Jason. At the end of going through our top 10 whiteouts, I want you guys to talk to me also about which of that, you know, which of these top 10 guys you think has the highest likelihood to bust. Because every year, that's the most painful.

You know, if you spend a high draft pick on one of these guys and they let you down, they don't play to expectation and you spent that draft capital on them, you know, that's what will derail your team the most during a draft is those high picks. So think about that and then think about maybe which of the top 10 wide receivers you think has the chance to be maybe the yardage leader. I found some Vegas.

odds on yardage leaders that'll bring forth as well. And so we'll go through our top 10 whiteouts today. Got a great quick question. A couple of reminders. First of all, congratulations to Curtis. Oh, Curtis. You did it, buddy. Curtis M to further qualify. So all the Curtis is out there first. Curtis Martin? I thought he was going Curtis. Hmm. Hmm. Yes.

Curtis won the Mahomes jersey on the website. So the autographed Mahomes jersey. Curtis has been emailed. So if you're a Curtis M out there and you have not received an email, you are not a winner. We're looking for it. Check your spam folder, though. Yeah, do that. Every Curtis out there. We'll do another giveaway this month. We don't have it figured out just yet, but we'll do another autograph merch giveaway. We're here five days a week.

This is the first day where we're into the regular season routine. How does it feel? It feels great. I miss getting into the studio early, flipping them on and recording, flipping the mics and the cameras on and recording. Flipping them off. Starting your day the right way. Let's go. The fantasy footballers. You heard the intro. You can check out the Ultimate Draft Kit at Ultimate DraftKit.com. Drafts are coming quickly.

100 plus player profile videos. We're also partnered with St. Jude this year. A dollar of every UDK sold goes directly to St. Jude. We've got the mobile app. We just made an update to the mobile app yesterday where people have been asking for the league settings, like an ADP data change, so that you can see what the average draft position is for a 6 team or an 8 team or a 10 team league. Even a 2 team.

Even a two team. The math does work for that. But you can, only in the app, you can change your league settings. I got my homes in the 16th round. That's right. It was awesome. That's right. You can change it and then feel really good about your picks. And then if you have your own My Guy, we thought this would be fun. Go on Twitter. We're on Twitter at the FF Ballers. Use the hashtag My Guy. Let us know who your guy is for 2019.

We brought forth our nine favorites on the show yesterday, but we'd love to hear from you. It's like when you're traveling west and you're putting that flag in the ground saying, this is my land now. That's the my guy. Tell us who you're planting your flag on. I want to know how many people are going to. If you come to my land of Carillon Johnson. Plenty. Plenty well. It'll be very, very robust, very dense population.

in the land of carry on. Do you think that carry on will get the goal line work? I think he will get enough goal line work. I don't think it's going to be anyone. CJ Anderson will be involved sometimes, but if he can earn the goal line work, that'll be pretty cool. I think he got two carries inside the 10 last year. Yeah, and I think that's more a problem of how bad the Detroit Lions offense was last year and will be and that could be a very big problem for him this season as well. But he is.

I mean, if you go back and watch his college tape, 18 rushing touchdowns his final year in the SEC, he was really good at the goal line, so I think they will utilize him. All right, name a player you've been changing your opinion on lately. That's today's quick question. Name a player you've been changing your opinion on of late. Mine has to be Kenyon Drake. Kenyon Drake. Oh, how sad for you. It is sad for me, but look, I mean, Kenyon.

I believe in your talent. I believe in your receiving ability. I believe that your body can take the workload, but no coach does. No coach in the NFL thinks you must have an attitude problem at practice, Kenyon. And I'm just going to say maybe zip it up, zip it up, zip it up early, show up late. Because...

For some reason. Stay late. How about this? How about this? His demeanor is just far too friendly. And they're like, this guy is way, way too nice. Too soft. To be, I didn't go there. I just want he's too nice that he can be a starting running back in the NFL. They won't respect him. No fantasy. No fantasy points for nice. Yes. So coming into this off season.

I believe based on the talent and the opportunity of the fact they didn't bring another running back in. The Kenyon Drake would have the opportunity to be a three-down back as the lion's share in this committee. And it seems like based on what we've seen in training camp, this isn't coach speak, this isn't fluff or just beat reporters saying what they think is going to happen. The only news that has come out of Miami were just practice snaps.

you know, live streaming of who's on the field, when they're on, and Kalim Belage was getting the first crack at first team, both on the goal line and in other drills. So Kenyon Drake is not the guy there. That has been established. That's not to say he can't end the season as the better back. He certainly should, but...

He's not going to be a three-down back the way I hope. So my opinion has changed drastically on him. I saw him as a guy who was a top 15 running back who had the chance to be an RB one at the end of the year that was going as a mid-round guy. I don't see that as a possibility now. All right. I'll throw out Christian Kirk. I am rising on Christian Kirk. Wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals was a rookie last year on an offense that was pathetic.

when it came to number of plays run. When it came to playing the NFL. Yeah, they were the worst offense in football since the 2012 Arizona Cardinals, according to J.J. Zacharison. So it was bad in Arizona. And yet, Kirk, before he had the injury, was actually a pretty good player. He seems to be separating himself from the rest of the wide receivers in Arizona. You're talking all the rookies, Isabella, Butler.

Kishon. And so, and Kirk has such a, he's the wide receiver equivalent experience-wise of Kyler on the offensive side of the ball, working in the Cliff Kingsbury system. He already knows what to do. He's a player that.

can make big time plays. We saw it last year, even with Josh Rosen. So I think Christian Kirk is undervalued in drafts. I changed my ranking on him this morning. He is above Larry Fitzgerald by a decent amount. So I think Kirk is going to have a potentially breakout season. He certainly has more upside than Larry, in my opinion. Larry's probably safer in the offense. But back when we were watching tape on Kirk in college, we threw out the name.

a couple times you look like night crawler because you would see him lined up on the left side and then all of a sudden he would just teleport somewhere on the field and be wide open the player i want to highlight i'm changing my opinion darrell henderson and this is simply because of where he is being drafted and on the news that is coming out that he is great he is in my opinion easily the second best running back on the team

But it's going to take some time. Those unofficial depth charts, which you must always take with a grain of salt that first come out. He's behind John Kelly. He's behind Justin Davis. He is fifth. He will work his way up, I believe, to the third player. But Malcolm Brown is there. This is why we talk about drafting a handcuff. We can be so sure that the talent of Darrell Henderson will...

If something happened to Todd Gurley, he will rise up and he will seize the moment he's not thrown away his shot. But then you forget that Malcolm Brown is there and just might be the guy who gets far more work. And Malcolm Brown is not being drafted. Meanwhile, people are taking Daryl Henderson in those mid to late rounds. I think there's a big difference in playing the complimentary role to Todd Gurley.

If they reduce his workload, but Gurley's healthy and he's just being the efficient-tied Gurley, then if Gurley was out for Darrell Henderson and the potential for that. Like Brown, they trust Malcolm Brown. They've done nothing but speak highly of them, and then they go out and match the contract offer. We've brought that up repeatedly. He's the kind of player where if something, you know, if you start to see more of a rotation, there'll be Darrell Henderson owners that are going to be like, why isn't he on the field? It'll be Malcolm Brown.

For a lot of that. And it's crazy, too. You know, we were in California hopping in some of the draft best ball leagues in the, you know, the giant three and a half million dollar tournament. I mean, Daryl Henderson is going so early. And Malcolm Brown, I got in the 16th round. He's basically, he might have gone undrafted. Because it makes no sense. He is currently the backup. The thing, why people are taking him there is because if.
