Fantasy Football 2018 - Early WR Rankings Part 2

But I might be willing to take that chance if I can get a value. Last year, what was nice was that Diggs, there was only four games when he had fewer than 50 yards or didn't have a touchdown. So you knew at least you were getting points. He wasn't destroying you. And the upside of, when Stefan Diggs has himself a monster game, it's a 150.

with a touchdown. It's a, it's a weak winning type of performance that Diggs has. I like that the touchdowns went up from three to eight because they moved him outside. So it's, I feel, I feel, I feel very bizarre here being the lowest on Stefan Diggs when he was, this was my dude last year. So I feel like I'm in one of those, those body switch movies. Well, no one here is against Diggs, including you. True. You know, last year.

On a per game basis, which, you know, Diggs missed a couple games. At a per game, Adam Thielen and Stefan Diggs were number 12 and number 13, back to back, 12.1, fantasy points and 11.9. And that's including the fact that...

Thielen got two games that were Sands Diggs. So they were probably identical fantasy points. The reason why I still lean heavily on the Adam Thielen side, even though the value might be better on Diggs, is because of the how, the how they come about. And that could change this year. There's a new quarterback. But assuming that they stay the same role in the system, the same read, you're talking about, you know, 143 targets for Adam Thielen with close to 100 receptions. He's kind of the...

the more possession guy last year in that system. So they're both very involved, but I think the consistency will be there for Thielen. Yeah, I'd rather have Thielen if I'm taking draft position out of the equation. And that's how we ranked them. I just think as the season gets closer and closer and closer, you're going to see these guys back to back. You're going to see, you're going to see Thielen Fall and Diggs rise, and they're going to be so close in the rankings. Really? Yeah, I really do. Why do you think that's going to happen?

Are people just going to look at last year's stats? Look, when people get disrespected. People like digs. And when people get disrespected year after year in fantasy ADP, it usually doesn't stop. And that, you know, this would be year three for Thielen. And I think he'll continue to drop. Year three? Right? No. Well, it's last year was his breakout. Year two. Yeah, but you saw it at the end of. Yeah. Yes. He was, it was three years ago that he broke out. Mm-hmm.

All right, Adam, uh, coming into this season. 11, Doug Baldwin, 12, Tyree Kill, 13, T.Y Hilton, 14, Amari Cooper, 15, Larry Fitzgerald, 16, Alshan Jeffrey, 17, Alan Robinson, 18, Josh Gordon, 19, does Bryant, 20, 20, and then you can leave all of your comments with your angry player that we left out of the top 20s. There's one in particular. They're going to be changing. That is the beauty of the offseason. We.

Whole off season leading up to draft day. And at the end, I'm going to see which side did I take more often. Then I'm just going to go all in. I'm going to bury him or he's number one.
