WR Rankings Part 2 + Buy & Sell, Bum Bum Comfort

over Russell Wilson, whether or not he is going to be a quarterback one. In fact, we made a bet over it. And what we know is that Tyler Locke is a great wide receiver. In general, he's very good. He's always been off the charts on reception, hasn't always played 16. Russell Wilson has a perfect pass rating when he targets him. Last year he did. That's pretty great. You've got, he is the number one for Russell Wilson.

and is a great wide receiver. I'm trusting those things. I don't care about the specific analytics of touchdown rate. It might come a different way. But I know that the Seahawks are going to win games. They're going to win it on the back of Russell Wilson. Maybe in the Pacific Northwest there's just an anomaly where things shouldn't happen, but they do.

Yeah. Because Russell Wilson's not supposed to be that efficient. Tyler Lockett's not supposed to be that efficient. And for goodness sakes, Brian Schottenheimer is not supposed to be able to just run the ball down your throat. He's not supposed to win games. And he does. So maybe, maybe things just, maybe production and being a good team, no matter what pathway, it changes year to year. It just happens in Seattle. I feel like Tyler Lockett right now, if he's being drafted as the 22nd wide receiver.

You're getting him at his floor. I don't see him falling out of wide receiver 2 into the 30s. It does seem hard to believe. As the number one for Russell Wilson. So I am 100% fine with drafting Tyler Locke at his 80P. Well, let me ask this question. Because a lot has been made about juju. He likes questions. And yes, we've learned that on the live show. A lot has been made about juju. Okay, now you're the number one guy. You're drawing number one coverage. How was that argument?

How does that not hold for Tyler Lockett? I think it's different in the sense that a player who's never seen more than 71 targets. No, it's different in the way that the offenses are run. You've got a team that is run first clearly. Scramble out the pocket with Russell Wilson. Plays are breaking down. That's different than just the 150, 160, 70 target clear first read option in an offense. Doug Baldwin wasn't really there last year.

He was there more than people remember. I chose not to see him. That's fine. But Doug Baldwin appeared in 13 games. Doug Walleris. Walleris is on the brain. He appeared in 13 games. He was around. No, he appeared. He appeared. I didn't see him. And occasionally from the mist, he appeared. He put his feet on the field. A snap would come. He'd be like, I'm out of here. Yeah. That counts as a game. Give me my check. None of us are looking at. I mean, look at what Juju did.

target totals, reception tolls. Nobody's looking at Tyler Lockett like he can take that mantle. He's just that ever-present threat for a big play week to week. You could make a pretty strong case for, you know, he's a very Deshawn Jackson-like end result, stat line at the end of the year in his career. I mean, he's going to catch, D. Jackson never put it other than one season in Philly that went Hogwild. He's always a 57, 67 reception cap type of guy.

You're talking about whether he moves into the slot gets peppered with targets. I don't know if that's going to happen. I think it's more likely that Rashad Penny and Chris Carson get more targets out of the backfield than it is, you know, Tyler Lockett becomes a PPR guy because the way they used Lockett last year was literally to NFL perfection. Yes. Right? So why change the way you used them when your pass rating is 158 throwing in the ball? They won't change it. I'm just saying that...

I'm going to bet on the side of statistics that said that what he did was not repeatable. And I mean, Tyler Lockett, up to that point, has been about as useless as a fantasy wide receiver can beat. Not on a per game basis. Okay, but still finish of, his highest finish to that point was wide receiver 44, his rookie season. Yeah, his rookie season. But I mean, it.

And he plays. How many games, I mean, those numbers sound really bad, but they're not actually, like in fantasy, when you had the options to start him in sensible games, he wasn't, he has not been bad. I'm just letting this continue because I feel like I'm getting a look at the lobby argument. Oh, the lobby argument. It was so fun. Okay. No, I mean, we can keep it going about Lockett where, oh, we're going to smooth routes.

Well, I looked at the clock, and I felt like we're probably going to have a show tomorrow, and the day after that as well, and the day after that. Stay tuned for tomorrow. Or Lockett. Lockett time. Kenny Gallaudet comes in at number 20. The last one we'll talk about on today's show. I don't know if I've, and this is, look, every fantasy football circle is different. I don't think I've seen a player that had more hype become less hype than Kenny Galladay from year to year.

Last year he finished at wide receiver 21. We all have them ranked at 21, 22, 21. We've all talked a lot about Marvin Jones because he's so undervalued in the offense. We've also talked at length about this carry-on player. Carry-on Johnson. Yes. Is that how you say that? I don't know. And I'm certainly not playing the song again. This is Kenny's time.

But, you know, you've talked a lot, Jason, about Darryl and the rushing offense and the workhorse of carry-on. So if this offense, and last year, by the way, Matthew Stafford's second worst quarterback in football in Red Zone passerating. We hear he had some fractures in his back. That is what I would have said, too. I've also heard that's very painful. If I had that passer rating, I would contend that I had fractures in my back.

to save face. Look, this is a make or break year for Matthew Stafford. They might not throw as much. You get Marvin Jones back. Here's Kenny Galladay, who had 1,000 yards, had five touchdowns. I don't think that past rating stays that low. I think they score more often. So what are we, what's the real ceiling for Kenny Gallaudet? I'd love to know what the ceiling is for Kenny Galladay for this team. I think the ceiling and why he's being drafted so high is that his ceiling is like a top 10 wide receiver.

You have the first two years where he came in. He looked great. Mike, you loved him. He was great on film. Great out of great college production comes in, looks great. Now he goes into year two, gets a thousand yards and 15 games. Coming into year three with maybe a healthier stafford, a better offense, I think that the ceiling does exist for him to really break out.

and be the dominant one, like he hasn't been. Right now we're looking at Marvin Jones and Kenny Gallaudet is the 1A 1B. I think that that is more likely the outcome that there is a 1A, 1B or at least a 1 and a close 2 here. But the world does exist. I think the ceiling does exist where Goladay is the dominant one in targets and they run the offense through that. Does he?

You know, him and Boyd are back-to-back in our rankings. And you can see all the rankings, the fantasy footballers.com, all the draft rankings. Have you been taking Kenny Gallagher? Like, I've taken Tyler Boyd in a number of drafts at that value. I've never, I haven't drafted Kenny Gallaudet because I don't think I'm getting the value on him that you are at other receivers. Are you more comfortable with Gallaudet over Boyd if it's, if no draft cost is considered?

Hmm, man. If no draft cost is considered, I would go Gawaday. I'd rather go for the upside. Right. What's difficult for Kenny Goladay, he had his chance to be the number one guy. Marvin Jones missed half the year. And the splits of Kenny Goladay, here's points for games in PPR with Marvin Jones. 13.77 points. Games without Marvin Jones, 13.87 PPR points. Oh, he went up.

Like, that's not what you're hoping or expecting to see when a player of his caliber has his shot. And that's why I think all three of us, even though, you know, I talk about what the ceiling could be, I think all three of us don't expect that to be materialized this year. The better value in the draft is Boyd is Marvin Jones. Jones, thank you.

Marvin Lewis was in my mind. Marvin Lewis. Don't draft Marvin Lewis. Definitely not. Whatever you do. All right. That is going to wrap up today's episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
