Rome Odunze, Christian Kirk lead late-draft WR steals | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

let's do the same thing for wide receivers and we'll start with Yahoo the wide receivers that are going earlier in your drafts Nico Collins wide receiver 11 for Matthew wide receiver 17 on Yahoo ADP Jaylen wad 15 for Matthew 20 on Yahoo ADP Malik neighbors wide receiver 18 wide receiver 25 on Yahoo ADP let's stop right there I mean dude like again I it's half Point PPR but still like I have Malik Neighbors at wide receiver 18 I might be too low on him I I like I think wide receiver 18 is probably too low on him he has top 12 upside a th% it's toal in volume literally the the red flag next to Malik neighbors is Daniel Jones yeah that's what's stopping people from drafting him and I don't know it's stopping people anymore I think in our draft yesterday he went ahead of Puka AA uh if I'm not mistaken which I think is not unreasonable absolutely not you can tell everybody in the draft watches the show every day because your your PUK takes puka was on the board for yeah puker actually went off the chuba Hub that I will well we're going to get to the draft recap a second that is it is super annoying in addition to you know the fact that you guys are a-holes but but in addition to that the other part that's frustrating about our league is just like again we well we've been talking about the same player you know everyone in this show has been talking about these players for two months now so they all know exactly how I think they know how you think they know how you think Jay they know how Lawrence thinks about players and so it's um you know um yeah it was annoying it was very annoying producer Adam was by far the most annoying in terms of his draft I knew La Lawrence was minus 50,000 to take Lamar Jackson at pick three just the way it's going to happen a th yes of course he did let's look at the wide receivers that are going later than that and this is once again Matthews rankings compared to Yahoo ADP on the board here so Terry McLaren 53 for you 77 and a half dude come on he's the number one wide receiver in an offense it doesn't have a lot of pass catches and with a much better quarterback and they're going to throw deep and it's going to be a first fantasy friendly offense under Cliff kingsbery Xavier worthy 64 for you this is just a joke about 110 on Yahoo he was one yesterday in our draft I remember we all looked around and said wow he was still on the board whenever somebody took him we just got he just got lost in the draft machine Calvin Ridley 66 for you yeah outside the top 90 Roman dun 76 for you he's going around 100th overall yeah Brian Thomas Jr 84th for you 120 FR 's going to play every snap he's turned it on the last couple weeks of camp he's going to play over snap yeah he's just he's just too good too talented yeah and the other thing is like again I'll do a rankings update even later today but like some of these guys like Rashid rice going back to the Yahoo list I have Rashid rice at wide receiver 25 Yahoo has him at at wide receiver 33 and Rashid rice is going to go higher than wide receiver 25 now that we we have the news that again like this is what we've been talking about that I don't think what I've been saying for the last two months is I don't think a decision on any potential suspension for Ri Rice will happen until next year because the NFL generally likes to uh wait out the legal process and sort of see what happens there before they make any decision on disciplinary action uh within the league and then that exact NFL Network comes out and reports that exact thing so as opposed to just sort of that was my my speculation or that's that's what history has dictated that's usually how the NFL operates you know NFL Network came out yesterday and said like oh this is exactly the plan for Rashi rice they the league does not want to do anything with r until the legal process plays out and then they will see what the result of that court case is and then they will make a determination if a suspension is warranted yep last year Calvin Ridley was going as wide receiver 16 um going into drafts this year he's going as wide receiver 35 it's obviously you know we have a new we have a full season of data in between um new context and everything but that's still a massive change that I don't think is warranted yeah I mean and I I and I think that's other people underestimating two things I think they're underestimating the fact that it's now another year of Ridley like now he's I don't to say he wasn't in football shape but there was definitely some Rust last year Conor would normally might been at the game for a while and I also think people are just like ah Tennessee they're you know just that's not your dad's Tennessee Titans like not buying into will Levis they're not buying into the changes with the staff it's everybody wants to see it before they're comfortable with it's not you're one year older than you older brothers Tennessee Titans it's going to be different T to Lost year I think is going to be good I agree with you tighten up tighten up tighten up last one one here Jay romad dun I mean we so with all those guys worthy romad dun Brian Thomas J all pushed down the board because they're rookies and the default ranks it feels like people forget Roman dun was a top 10 pick in this draft despite having Keenan Allen and DJ Mo technically on the depth chart ahead of him yeah I mean he would be the third favorite to be the number one guy out of those three but I think that is very within the range of outcomes for Roma dun to end up as the number two receiver on the Bears be through Kanan Allen getting older in a hurry or one of those two guys getting hurt Kanan Allen gets hurt all the time and I think that Allen in particular his stats were just so inflated last year by the fact that there was no other options for Justin Herbert in the passing game so adun I mean we saw the connection that they have in preseason like he's not just going to be an afterthought they took him in the top 10 they're going to use him Caleb Williams is going to throw the ball to romad Dun yeah the only con I I think adun insanely talented right and I think the the injury concerns on Keenan Allen are completely legitimate the anti- adun a argument although obviously I have him significantly higher because at some point you you just Bank on Talent you just Bank on Talent you as we talked about the talent is is not in question the opportunity is what's slightly in question but at at 76 overall like I'm I have an eighth round pi I have an eighth round grade on romad dun like that's fine you know but like Yahoo has him going outside the top 100 basically and the only argument that you could take is that you're like well Jackson Smith and jig was the most talented wide receiver in the draft class last year and he just couldn't produce fantasy wise under Shane Waldren because again they had three guys there but I think it's a different situation I think honestly I think Caleb Williams this year is going to be better than Gino Smith was last year and I think that um uh that adun I mean I don't know you can talk to this but like as much as we like Jackson Smith and jiga I feel like adun is a step ahead it's a bigger perimeter Target you know can play inside and outside can kind of be that Alpha receiver there's no you don't really have to scheme a lot of things around him you kind saw it right there Caleb Williams throw him the ball when he's covered and'll go and make a play contest to catch we talked to a Dun at the at the um at the Super Bowl love love the kid uh as well it's surprising I mean Conor you and I did yep Jay didn't like him and you know how I know because Jay didn't crop out us of of a picture with romad dun no he didn't even go to the desk he said I want nothing to do at this I was actually at the sphere with puker yeah watching you too for the second time you just kept seeing YouTube's favorite song is elevation the the CRA the the aduni story is it's like like what was the story like he punctured his lung in a game and he could could fly like medically it wasn't clear to fly fly so he drove he rented a car or whatever I think it was cross States like cross States I want to say like from Nevada to California something like something insane drive right he just he he drove so he could play that he he's like he's that dude worked out with their basketball team just to you know High Point the ball he did rebounding drills he's very just different it's going to work let's just say that romad dun is that dude yeah if you're in a keeper League you should have all three of these guys circled because they could bring back huge you get one in the ninth or 10th round next year you have a a free wide receiver two or whatever it may be and then the last one also is just Xavier worthy I mean like just we we we've they've made a point of it they're going to throw deep to him he's playing with the best quarterback in football he's a deep threat I know they've got Maris Brown we've got you know rice and Kelsey a lot of mouths to feed but still like Z you know we have seen Rook talented rookies under under Andy Reid Purdue and so Xavier Warth they I think you're just you're betting on talent and the and the quarterback I think Xavier worthy could be the man we wanted Gabe Davis to be for the past three years in terms of production yeah let's see how the wide receivers stack up uh on ESPN adps because that was all Yahoo so this is Matthew's rank Drake London wide receiver 10 he's 15 on ESPN Debo Samuel 14 for Matthew 18 on ESPN a big difference for jayen wad wi receiv receiver 15 for you I don't know how you could have jayen w wide receiver 24 that's so weird that's an odd one Cooper cup we've really hammered home on this show wide receiver 17 for Matthew he's outside the top 20 on ESPN the last one Rashid rice this one is going to probably Propel upwards after yesterday but he's wide receiver 25 for you Matthew still wide receiver 32 on ESPN yeah again those adps just make no sense to me at all uh Waddles is the real head scratcher at wide receiver 24 uh rice going outside the top 30 is crazy and and then Cup going outside the top 20 cup could be the you know a top five fantasy wide receiver I mean it's points game you know what you're getting per. let's look at the later wide receivers once again Matthew's rankings up against ESPN ADP Christian Kirk I'm going to stop right at this one because this is insane 51 for you Matthew 96 on ESPN for Christian Kirk why is he going so late in full PPR I have no idea he was a little bit banged up last year and they added players is that the thought may I he's got the queue next to his name this year again maybe that's what it is again banged up last year you know in and on the lineup you know and and someone banged up this year they add Brian Thomas um they signed Gabe Davis so maybe there's concern about uh increased Target competition and you know but that's a bizarre one to me like again we've talked about this a lot of times on this show but like like when I interviewed Doug Peterson at the combine like he specifically brought up Christian Kirk and felt like they didn't get nearly enough out of Christian Kirk last year and that that was their fault parti was Health but also just because Z Jones was so hurt they constantly had to play Christian Kirk on the outside which is not where he's comfortable where he's really effective is in the slot they want to get him in the slot and have him play the majority of his snaps there where he is so effective being in the slot is kind of a cheat code Kirk signed a big deal like they like him a lot he's a talented wide receiver and so now that you've got uh Thomas Jr and Gabe Davis on the outside Kirk's just going to be able to eat in the middle and just you know uh with a with a fully healthy Trevor Lawrence too Lawrence was B up too it's a whole like L season for the Jaguars like they just sort of grinded it out yeah there's this thing with Christian Kirk and Josh Palmer it's like these guys are both clear favorites to be the number one option for Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert and they're both going outside I mean Josh Pal's going outside the top 45 of wide receivers and Co going outside the top 30 let's move over to the quarterbacks and we'll start with yaho real quickly Deontay Johnson I'm at 63 he's going at 93 on ESPN that's another one like the everything you've heard out of Carolina is the passing off offense goes through this guy he's going to get a massive Target share from an improved quarterback and an improved offense yeah if you're playing PPR you have to be in on Deontay Johnson year I have so much Deontay Johnson this year he he somebody else took him from me in our league but I I have a lot of shares of Deontay Johnson just a lot of Buzz about the Panthers in general uh in the betting World their price is collapsing in terms of making the playoffs a lot of activity behind that I mean they could be a competent offense in competent te and they went anything close that last what are uh in Canalis Coach of the Year odds are they shrinking as well no which they should those things should be in lock step I'm going to keep on saying it Dave Canales can't be 18 to1 to make to win coach of the year when they're like plus 500 to make the playoffs if they make the playoffs they go from two wins to nine plus wins he has to win that awarding something like completely insane like yeah if the Lions goes 17 and0 or whatever but like outside of massive outliers Canalis he should be the favorite for the award yeah okay you have a chance to win $1 million in the NBC sweep Stakes on Yahoo
