LEAGUE WINNING Wide Receivers In 2024 Fantasy Football

Intro what is up everyone it's Quinn here and in today's video I'm going to be going through five League winning wide receivers that you guys should be looking to Target in fantasy football this season if you guys missed it I talked about some League winning running backs today also so check out that video If you haven't seen it already if you enjoy hit that like button subscribe to the channel but let's Dive Right into my Nico Collins first League winning wide receiver and it is going to be Nico Collins he is currently being drafted as the wide receiver 13 in the early third round he is coming off a monster year three breakout where he was the wide receiver seven averaging 17.4 PPR points per game I think the major concern that most people have with Nico Collins is just the target competition right you have Stefan digs coming in you have tank Dell heading into year two and I know last season Stefan Diggs wasn't there but Nico Collins actually averaged more PPR points per game when he was playing with tank Dell compared to the games where tank Dell missed um Nico Collins is clearly locked in as a top two wide receiver in snap he is going to be one of those wide receivers in on 12 personnel and I also don't think he's at any risk of losing routes in favor of tank Dell um I think if tank Dell is breaking into 12 Personnel it would be Stefan Diggs um who would be losing those opportunities I think there are just going to be enough opportunities within this Texans offense to go around where I'm not overly concerned about ston digs tank Dell eating into Nico Collins usage CJ strad has the second highest odds to lead the NFL in passing yards he is the third highest odds to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns and I also showed this chart in my mus draft every round video but we do have multiple examples within the last 20 years of wide receiver rooms with like three really impressive guys having solid Seasons even though there is a lot of Target competition so you can see within the last 20 years you have the 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers you have the 2018 Rams the 2013 Broncos the 2012 Packers and then the 2004 Colts most recently with the Buccaneers you had Chris Godwin Antonio Brown Mike Evans all averaging over 16 PPR points per game for the Rams you had Cooper cup Robert Woods Brandon Cooks all three of those guys were averaging 15 plus Broncos Demaryius Thomas nearly hit 20 points per game and that was with Decker and Welker averaging over 16 points per game Packers um not as extreme in terms of the ceiling you had Cobb Jones and Jordy Nelson all at 14 or more but I think you also had Greg Jennings in there averaging like 12 points perame game so really you had like four really good wide receivers and then with the Colts Marvin Harrison Jr almost hitting 18 points per game Reggie Wayne almost hitting 17 and then Brandon stokeley um at 14 plus so I definitely think the Texans could be a team that I end up kind of adding to this graphic at the end of the season I feel like their setup CJ strad should be going more pass heavy you obviously have the stud weapons but I just wanted to point out that it doesn't mean your ceiling is completely capped just because you have those weapons I want to be targeting good players from good offenses Nico Collins you know definitely fits the mold there now shifting over to my Malik Nabers second league winning wide receiver it is going to be Malik neighbors he's being drafted as the wide receiver 24 like a late round four pick early round five and I guess this kind of goes against what I just said with drafting good players and good offenses because this is just a straightup bet on an Elite Talent with Malik neighbors he checks pretty much every box you'd be looking for in a top tier wide receiver Prospect has solid production as a freshman broke out in year two with over a th receiving yards then just completely dominated this past season his junior year 13 games had over, 1500 receiving yards 14 touchdowns he's a great athlete 6 feet tall 200 lb we're in a 4440 and then gets drafted sixth overall so he has the production he has the athleticism he also has the draft Capital the main concern here obviously is just his situation with the Giants um with a good landing spot I would have him up there with Marvin Harrison Jr he would be a locked in top 12 wide receiver if he had a good landing spot I mean if he went to the Chargers I might have him like right after that AJ Brown puka Garrett Wilson tier like that's how high I'd be on Malik neighbors if he did get that great landing spot but I do think it's being a little bit overblown like just how awful this Giants offense is going to be and how it's going to be completely hopeless you know even though Malik neighbors is super talented if the quarterback plays terrible he's not going to be able to do anything I've seen a lot of comparisons to guys like G Wilson Drake London Teran mclen all players who haven't really been fully unlocked due to poor quarterback play guys like Garrett Wilson Drake London I feel like are hitting close to home and it's why people are a little bit concerned because over the past couple of Seasons even though they've proven to be talented they obviously haven't been great fantasy options but I think there's a pretty significant difference between those guys situations and Malik neighbors and the main difference I see is I think quarterback play like Daniel Jones may not be great I don't think he's like Zack Wilson level bad I don't think he's Desmond Ritter level bad like maybe you disagree with that but I think the main point I want to talk about here is that Brian dable is a massive upgrade over Arthur Smith he is a massive upgrade over Nathaniel Hackett and then when we're looking at ter McLaren right he's just had an insane number of quarterbacks hasn't been able to been unlocked I just think Malik neighbors is a different level of player than Terry Terry's great but I think Malik neighbors could be truly one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and I think if we want to look at like a potential example like a comp for the type of season Malik neighbors could have I think we just have to look at Jaylen W's rookie season um super talented player good draft Capital not going to a great situations Dolphins I believe were like a bottom third offense um wd's rookie season he still finished as the wide receiver 15 in points per game he didn't necessarily have the big playup side or you know the efficiency that maybe we expect or he has seen in recent Seasons but his rookie year they peppered him with targets he produced with volume and I feel like that's something similar that Malik neighbors could do here he's my wide receiver 17 I'd be willing to take him in the third round I think if you're getting him in the fourth or the fifth he really is an absolute steal now Tank Dell with my third wide receiver we're actually going to go back to this Texans wide receiver room because I want to talk about tank Dell he's being drafted as the wide receiver 26 that is a round five pick and I honestly can't remember the last time we've seen a rookie play so well and then get drafted like outside the top 24 pretty much drafted as like a fantasy wide receiver three typically if you're a rookie you have a great season you show out you're going to be skyrocketing up the rankings because people are expecting like you know a jump in year two just to put into perspective how good tank Dell actually was last year for Fantasy in the games where both Nico Collins and tank Dell played at least 50% of the snaps tank Dell actually outproduced niik Collins he averaged 18.8 PPR points per game compared to Nico Collins 18.2 if Stefan Diggs was not on his team I'd probably have tank Dell as a fringe wide receiver one he might even be in my top 12 that's how highly I view tank Dell as a player obviously the Stefan digs thing is a hit to him he has been locked out of two wide receiver sets throughout the preseason he's only been in there on 11 personnel which in the short term it's definitely going to cap his upside but I think that's kind of baked into his price here like I feel like wide receiver 26 we are acting like he is the locked in wide receiver 3 but I just don't think there's any guarantee that that holds throughout the entire season I think maybe he could completely overtake Stefan Diggs Diggs really you know was struggling in the second half of last season maybe he's starting to slow down and he doesn't even have to completely take over those opportunities maybe him and digs start splitting you know those two wide receiver sets which would obviously um help tank Dell and then I just want to reference the um graphic I showed earlier where even if he is the wide receiver three he can still pay off at this price you have Mike Evans wide receiver three 16.4 points per game Brandon Cooks 15.2 Wes Welker 16.1 Jordy Nelson 14 stokeley 14.6 like I talked about with Nico Collins I believe tank Dell is a talented player in an offense that has a very very high ceiling I think he can pay off even if he doesn't overtake Stefan Diggs but I think he also has that upside of taking over Stefan Diggs out producing him and delivering a monster year to now shifting over to my Xavier Worthy fourth League winner I want to talk about Xavier worthy he's being drafted as the wide receiver 38 a round 78 pick and I just think this is way too late for someone who has legit upside to be Patrick Mahomes wide receiver one he's a first round rookie pick he's already getting the starting wide receiver routes in the preseason which you know may not seem all that crazy you'd assume first round wide receiver not a great wide receiver room at least especially now with the Hollywood Brown injury so you maybe think like well duh he should be sliding in as a starting wide receiver but keep in mind Rashid rice who's now being drafted as their wide receiver one didn't really get that type of usage last year until like the last five six games of the Season like even in a very poor wide receiver room the chiefs were slow rolling Rashid rice they are not doing that same thing here with Xavier worthy which I think is a great sign for him I do believe that Xavier Worthy is like the archetype of player that the Chiefs would want to be their top weapon I feel like with Rashid rice he was used as kind of like a dink and dunk option last year um very low a DOT like under five yards I believe it was at 4.8 so I feel like they were kind of just working with what they had with rishy rice last year but Worthy is a big play threat he can win down the field the fastest 40 ever at the combine so that speed paired with Patrick Mahomes you know his big play ability Xavier Worthy is my wide receiver 28 I'd be willing to take him in the fifth round like if I was forced to if I had one draft that is how highly I view Xavier worthy so I think he's going to get devalued because he's a rookie people are kind of hesitant to take the swing on the rookie cuz they could completely bust you know they don't feel like a super safe pick but for me the upside is completely there for Xavier worthy I like him here as like a honestly high-end wide receiver three in my opinion and then my fifth and final Brian Thomas Jr League winner it's going to be another rookie it is Brian Thomas Jr he's being drafted as the wide receiver 48 a round 910 pick um and this is just another rookie here I'm very high on a lot of these guys specifically these three he is a freak athlete coming off a monster Junior season he's 6'3 210 lb ran a 43340 which is insane regardless of size but to run that at 6'3 210 that is an insane 40 time 13 games last year um had 1,177 receiving yards 17 touchdowns he has already pretty much locked down the Calvin Ridley role from last year and even though Ridley was somewhat underwhelming for Fantasy he still had the ninth most expected fantasy points at the wide receiver position so just because he didn't come through it does not mean that the opportunities were not there the opportunities were in play for Calvin Ridley it just really didn't come to fruition and I also just think that Brian Thomas Jr is a much better fit in that Calvin Ridley role than what we saw last year and I think his skill set aligns very well with Trevor Lawrence we know that Lawrence can push the ball down the field and he wants to push the ball down the field he was third in 20 plus yard pass attempts last year he was also top 10 in deep pass completion percentage So Not only was he pushing it down the field but he was pushing it down the field with efficiency with success Calvin Ridley was eighth in deep targets last year so a decent number of those were going to Ridley last season in college Brian Thomas Jr caught 14 of his 18 deep passes he led all college wide receivers in yards from Deep passes we also know that Brian Thomas Jr is a Red Zone threat LED all college wide receivers with 17 receiving touchdowns um Calvin Ridley was third in Red Zone targets so so I just think Brian Thomas Jr a talented Prospect paired to Trevor Lawrence I think their skill sets align very very well and I think getting him as like a back-end wide receiver four highend wide receiver 5 I think he has some legit upside the season already playing with the starters I think he could be a League winner for you so that is going to wrap it up for my five League winning wide receivers we had Nico Collins Malik neighbors tank Dell Xavier worthy and then Brian Thomas Jr let me know your thoughts on these players if you have any fantasy questions
