telling you who's eating good served by Applebee's are bold wide receiver predictions but before we get there let's take a look at uh a Cooper cup clone that might be out there watch this hey now look that tracking there you go even with the the bad Shadows is this life right out the ball again like accurate right in the sunset not easy but and I had to reach out for it RG3 didn't hit me in stride he had been throwing a lot of balls but that's yeah same thing that was at the uh the Verizon my ACC event we we didn't got footage of you playing corner now receiver so you like Hunter out there there th% tway player absolutely yeah is there anything I can't do don't know all the above I think let us answer that question I can say we're gonna opt out of responding can't not drink a Diet Coke yeah there you go fair enough oh man can you do a wide receiver bold prediction I can do that my friends um and so my bold prediction you know it's interesting Lawrence is all in on Bryce young well who's he going to be throwing to Deontay Johnson that's my bold prediction Deontay Johnson finishes is a top 12 fantasy wide receiver this season despite the fact that he's going you know I've seen him go outside the top 30 at wide receiver in some drafts as well look this is somebody in 2021 that finished as wide receiver eight and points per game four straight Seasons with a Target share of at least 22% last year 43% of his team's Endzone targets Dave Canalis has already come out and said this is going to be the focal point of our passing offense right remember last year the Tampa Buccaneers were second in the NFL under Dave Canalis in wide receiver Target share and so now you've got a team that has an elite wide receiver in Deontay Johnson the best way you think about what he did for Baker Mayfield last year well part of that was like Hey Baker keep throwing it to Mike Evans Y and obviously D Johnson's a very different we receiver physically than Mike Evans but the fact of the matter is he is a true number one in this league and he's going to get fed like that and so yeah give me Deontay Johnson as a top 12 fantasy wide receiver this year yeah I don't want to leave I didn't want to leave any of my drafts without him he's got an 1100 yard season under his belt you see what Adam th was able to do he was a top 10 fantasy receiver through 10 weeks last season people that's Deontay Johnson now so Buy in how about another wide receiver you're buying on Garrett Wilson definitely and and I for Garrett Wilson I'm gonna go you could call it bold but if you know the talent and seen that he's win 1,000 yards twice already I'm going he's going to top500 yards this season this this is why because it's quarterbacks not Zack Wilson Trevor Simeon Tim Bo Joe flacko Mike White shout out to Chris strer over there in the CFL is Aaron roders right now while he's not Devonte Adams you can't tell me that he don't got that type of potential and with Aaron Rogers last three seasons with Devonte Adams where he started at least 14 games he averaged 116 receptions over 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns I don't think he's going to get the 14 touchdowns put, 1500 yards in play for a guy like Gary Wilson who could beat you at every spot on the field yep couldn't great more Lawrence the further that Garrett Wilson gets away from the Joe flacko era the better that he will be Aaron Rogers much bigger going be monster guys I'm saying with a New York wide receiver is that uh I'm sorry is that comeback Player of the Year Jo alluding to matth how's he doing right now backing up Anthony Richardson I don't know he's he's doing fine living life check I tell you that playoff game from he's on a uh he's on an NFL roster which a year ago he wasn't you know he's happy he's not on his couch a nice backup quarterback contract great comeback from Netflix on the couch yeah exactly inspiring I'll go with another New York wide receiver how about the newcomer Malik neighbors I think he finishes the top 10 wide receiver Malik neighbors not in Giants media they know how good he is because they've watched him now since the spring but the world still doesn't know how talented this guy is right he could finish as a have a better wide receiver season than Marvin Harrison JR this year just the volume he's the for the Giants and I think listen Daniel Jones is not good I understand but he's good enough he's good enough to get Malik neighbors the ball Danel Jones isn't a guy that you're looking at calling a franchise quarterback anymore you're starting in fantasy as a qb1 but he's better than people realize where he can get the his number one wide receiver the ball in Brian D's offense that's what matters people were fading and I I raised my hand because I was one of them people were fading Mike Evans last year because of Baker Mayfield oh like Baker's no good no we have seen this before we have seen this before um we have seen fantasy wide receivers have productive seasons on a quarterback like now the narrative has changed but two years ago no one thought Jared G was any good and Amar Ross St Brown was putting up points like I just again um Daniel Jones is a and I don't say this is disrespecting Daniel Jones is a professional NFL quarterback like is he great no is he the franchise guy probably not is he is he worth the money that Giants are paying him also probably not can he get the ball somewhere near the Malik neighbors so that neighbors can come down with it 100% might get 100 catches I think the Giant's going to surprise people by being more competent Than People expect there are a lot of people whose jobs are on the line and that organization if they're not good this year I think dav's gone Daniel Jones is gone like there are a lot of incentives for this team to do everything possible to get the most out of this year specifically like they can't be tanking I don't think d b's G you sure too good coach of the year two years ago come on got fired after when you coach of the year a lot it uh it's a strange happened to R didn't do anything wrong with t The bich Whispers will grow if they have a tough start but I'm a Believer in dble and I'm a Believer in Joe Shan I agree with that I'm a I'm I'm a day ball and Joe Shane believer Ron Rivero and Coach of the Year twice Matthew it can turn quickly for coaches of the year but I think they know what they working with right now Brian dble damn show know what he working with you're right yeah so I believe in dble I think that'll be better than expected this year 500 type of T either way Malik neighbor is going to eat I like this call my only issue is I don't know if it's that bold I I mean dra like top 20 he absolutely is not no I know he is in every League I'm in of neighbors starting to catch up I I didn't get them in any leagues I feel left out if you play in a league with gians I got a TR you know you know we're going to start you got him in our league I got I I believe I have him in our league but well I I'm in 25 leagues I hav probably 17 of those 25 but what I'll tell you is is that we'll start a midseason Guillotine League we let you get neb you can you can you know you can start a GU League whenever you want during the season just I like you know neighb throw a little plug in there we're keeping the lights on the company you now own yes curious th% as I'm sitting there wearing a fantasy like t-shirt you bet company man my uh next wide receiver prediction is I think that Cooper cup and Rashid rice both outperform PUK Anda and PUK Anda texts Jay Croucher asking him to remove him from a Twitter profile picture um I just think that nura one he's been banged up in the preseason it's a red flag he's banged up in college he plays a very physical brand uh and I think that he's an injury risk but more to the point his final 10 regular season games last year you know how many times he got caught more than five bows once all of his produ well not all of it a big chunk of his production came in the first four weeks when cup was uh out of the lineup and then a lot of it came in the back half of the season on these like 70 yard touchdowns which are very difficult to count on so I think the cup is going to be the number one wide receiver option for the Rams and then Rashid rice turn the corner in the second half of the season I think there's this idea that oh Xavier Worthy's there oh Hollywood Browns there now there's going to be all this all these guys taking away from Shir rice I look at worthy and Hollywood Brown as though they're like JJ reck spacing the floor and the guy who is really going to benefit from their presence is Rashid rice those two guys are going to make it a lot easier for Rashid rice these crosses over the middle I think the Rashi rice is clearly the number one wide receiver for Patrick Mahomes I think he has top 10 wide receiver upside this season if it wasn't for the off the field issues Rashid rice would have gone a lot higher in drafts and this the the the drafts rooms the ADP hasn't caught up to the news that and we've talked about this throughout the offseason which is like the way the NFL generally works is that they wait until the legal case has been resolved in one way or the other and then they will rule whether uh a suspension is warranted and so Rashid rice who has not had his day in court and again everyone's innocent until proven guilty and all the evidence has seen once that happens and then there's a determination on his legal status then the NFL rule the court case isn't until December yeah so I think that if rasid rice gets suspended for the the incident that happened in the offseason this year that happens in 2025 Y and so once you take that Spectre out of it I agree with you if we're just talking about Rashi rice the football player and not the human being Rashi W the football player should have an monster year y hey it's Matthew Barry from
