In the Play Action Podcast, the host discusses wide receiver rankings based on their stat projections. They also cover some NFL news, including Saquon Barkley's contract with the Giants, Tyreek Hill's settlement, and injuries to Canarius Tony and Rashod Bateman. Other news includes players being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and various signings and trades. The podcast also mentions a speeding incident involving Jordan Addison and contract negotiations for Nick Bosa. The host then reveals their top four wide receiver rankings, with Cooper Kupp at number one, followed by Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams, and Garrett Wilson. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Play Action Podcast, and today, we will be breaking down the wide receiver rankings that I've put together based on my stat projections. We've released the quarterback rankings, we've released the running back rankings, and now we're going to work on the wide receiver rankings, and these, when we, if we get the website out before the season starts, these will be up on that website, if not, next year's will be up on there when they are released next off-season. But today, there's going to be, just a fair warning, there's going to be one player that is really low compared to consensus in my ranking, so be prepared for that. I'm going to try to get through the top 24 today, and maybe a few more, because as we get farther into the list, we're going to spend less time on them. So yeah, so we do have some NFL news to talk about, actually, quite a bit of NFL news. So first of all, we have the whole running back holdout situation that I talked about in the last episode, well, that's been resolved for one player, and one player only, Giants running back Saquad Barkley signed a one year, $11 million deal, but this really is very misleading, because this contract allows Saquad to be franchised next year, but you have to think of this for Saquad. This is structured to where it drastically increases his possible franchise tag for next year, so the Giants most likely have an agreement with Saquad that he will play on this one year deal this year and will be tagged next year, so it's effectively a two year deal worth $48 million, so $24 million a year average-ish, but he's getting about $11 this year and $37 next year. It's very absurd what his franchise tag will be next year because of this contract. So this is mainly just a two year $48 million contract agreement by the Giants unless something goes wrong, in which case Saquad will just get $11 million to play football, so that's a pretty good deal, so that was settled. The rest of this news I'm kind of just going to skim through, Tyree Kill had a settlement on his dispute at the Miami Marina that he was at, the fight he got into, that's been settled, not going to be any implications for the NFL. Canarius Tony underwent a clean-up surgery, actually this morning, to clean up cartilage in his knee, and Andy Reid says there's a chance he plays for the season opener, so Canarius Tony, yet again, injured. There was some Rashad Bateman things going around, he was placed on the did-not-report list for the first few days of camp, and then he reported and was immediately placed on the PUP. So now he's on the PUP, for those of you who don't know, that stands for Physically Unable to Perform, but this is just the pre-season PUP. He can still get activated before the season and play week one, this just means he's not healthy yet for training camp. J.K. Dobbins, the Ravens' running back, was also placed on that, so two players to monitor there. Some other PUP-related news, Chase Claypool was placed on it and then activated, as was rookie running back Kendre Miller of the New Orleans Saints, so both those players were on it and have been activated. Juvonte Williams will actually not be starting camp on the PUP, so take that for how you will, for fantasy purposes, he'll probably play week one, it's not a guarantee, but he probably will at this point, so you can treat it like that is the case, unless we get some further update. As of right now, that's really how I would treat it. Brees Hall is the other relevant player that is on the PUP. Some other players, Marvin Jones of the Lions, Randall Cobb of the Jets, K.J. Hamler of the Broncos, and C.J. Uzoma of the Jets are all currently on the PUP. Other news, Murray Cooper left practice a few days ago with a minor tweak of something in his body, they unspecified it, it's a pretty weird report, but they say it's unrelated to the core muscle surgery that he had earlier this year. And then, they're saying that the Lions have signed running back Justin Jackson, and the Giants have signed running back James Robinson, as well as wide receiver Cole Beasley, the Ravens signed running back Melvin Gordon, a lot of unnecessary signings here, the Jets traded for Denzel Mims, Patriots worked out Leonard Fournette and Daryl Henderson, all minor news, we don't really need to cover it, not going to have much of an impact on the NFL. Jordan Addison, the rookie wide receiver for the Vikings, was stopped for going 140 miles per hour in a 55, which is a lot over the speed limit, that's 85 miles per hour over the speed limit. He said a few days later, this was due to he was having a health emergency involving his dog at home, I don't know if that's true or not, I very well hope that it's true, but no one was harmed during the incident, he was pulled over, so he may receive a suspension TBD on that. And then some news you've probably already heard at this point, it came out not that long after we recorded the last episode, DeAndre Hopkins has signed a deal with the Titans, and the Jaguars have given tight end Evan Engram a three year, 42 and a half million dollar deal, so he will not be playing on the franchise tag, so yeah, that is really the rundown of the news, and I'm going to take a quick break, and then I will get back with the wide receiver rankings. We are back here, and while I was on break, I checked my phone for the latest news stories, and one came through while I was on break, so involving Niners defensive end Nick Bosa. So Nick Bosa is not going to be at training camp until he gets a new contract, and this is technically a holdout, and could extend into the season if he does not get a new deal. This is massive news, honestly, this is huge news, because Nick Bosa might not, one of the best defensive players, if not the best defensive player in the NFL, may not play unless he gets a new contract, so you expect Niners management, they still have over a month to get this done, so you expect they will, because he is probably one of the best players in the NFL, and probably one of the best players on defense, if not the best player on defense, so he probably gets a new deal here, I wouldn't be that worried if I was a Niners fan, it's just something to monitor. Alright, let's get into those wide receiver rankings, okay, so number one, last year obviously it was Justin Jefferson, had the historic year, that is not who I have at number one this year. I have Cooper Cupp, the wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams at number one, and here's why. The Rams, Matthew Stafford, I can see him totally just throwing for 3,000 yards this year, or probably over 3,000 yards, but not much over. Two-thirds of that will probably go to Cooper Cupp, he is going to have an absurd, absurd target share, and he could hit 2,000 yards with Stafford only hitting about 3,500, which is just insane, that's over half of the yards for Matthew Stafford, that would be crazy, but it's very well possible. If you look at the rest of this roster, just, they have nobody. Obviously Cam Aker is pretty good, but he's a running back, he'll catch some passes, but he's not Christian McCaffrey. So, well, other than that they have Van Jefferson, Ben Skaronik, Tyler Higby, all these mediocre guys, and outside of those mediocre three, there's literally no one. There is no one there. Alan Robinson was bad last year, and even he's not there anymore. So they have literally zero people. Odell Beckham Jr. not there anymore either. Robert Woods not there anymore. No one for Stafford to throw the ball to other than Cooper Cupp. So, just out of targets. Justin Jefferson will receive a buttload of targets and still will not near Cooper Cupp, I don't think. It's going to be crazy how many targets Cooper Cupp will receive, and he will be fantasy wide receiver one. By, in my projections, about 25 points. I have 24.1, so 25 points. Cooper Cupp will pass. Number two, Justin Jefferson. So, as I said, I found one good game's worth of points less than Cooper Cupp, but still a very good number here. Still only 6.3 points more than number three, who I will get to in a little bit, but Justin Jefferson, he's great, he's going to be great. I don't have him being number one, but I still have him being number two. He's fantastic, he's going to keep being fantastic, and yeah. Number three, Devontae Adams. Again, as I said, only 6.3 points less than Justin Jefferson. So, not that far off from being receiver two. I'm not high on the Raiders this year. I think they're not going to be that great, but I do like Jimmy Garoppolo a decent bit. I think he's a good quarterback that is very underrated, and even more than underrated, just over-hated. People just hate on Jimmy Garoppolo, and I don't understand why. I could honestly make a whole podcast just breaking down Jimmy Garoppolo film for 30 minutes, and I could explain exactly why Jimmy Garoppolo is a good quarterback, but that is not the episode. I have 30 minutes here to explain my wide receiver ranking, so we'll get into Jimmy Garoppolo at a later date. But, Devontae Adams was already a great receiver with Derek Carr last year. Jimmy Garoppolo, in my opinion, is better than Derek Carr. And Devontae Adams wasn't that far away from number three last year, so this is not outlandish that he could get here this year, obviously. Jimmy Garoppolo, he's worse than Aaron Rodgers. Sure, MVP Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Garoppolo is much worse than him. But, he's good enough to be able to support the wide receiver three in fantasy when the wide receiver three is just that good. At number four, a bit of a shocker that no Jamar Chase yet, but that trend continues with Garrett Wilson. At number four, with Aaron Rodgers, who I was just talking about, about 14 points less than Devontae Adams. 13.8, if you would like to be exact. So, at least a little bit less than Devontae, enough to be noticeable. And so, Garrett Wilson, last year, he was actually, if you watched him, fantasy, he was just okay. If you watched him, he played fantastic and just didn't have a quarterback, because he had Zach Wilson and Mike White throwing him the football. So, now, he gets four-time MVP and Super Bowl champion and first ballot hall of famer Aaron Rodgers. I am in no way an Aaron Rodgers fan, but you cannot deny how fantastic that guy is at football. He's not the same player he was, but he's only a year removed from literally having back-to-back MVPs. So, he's not washed. He's still a fantastic NFL quarterback, top ten. So, Aaron Rodgers will definitely be able to support Garrett Wilson, and I think he'll have a true breakout year this year. At number five, the guy I talked about in the news, Tyreek Hill. Question his personality, all you want, again, like Aaron Rodgers, he's still fantastic at football and he will continue to be. Tyreek Hill, I have him about 9.2 points behind Garrett Wilson. So, a little bit. It's not a ton, but it's a decent bit. It's not a 30-yard touchdown more about in points. It's a little less than that in half PBR. So, take it for how you will. Tyreek Hill, he's obviously very explosive. He's going to have the big plays. He's the type of quarterback that can support a big play guy who is very good at stretching the field for whatever you want to say about it, injuries, or just who in general. He's very good at stretching the field. He can give Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell big plays, but can he support a wide receiver one? I don't know. I don't know if Tyreek Hill with Jalen Waddell there will receive the targets to be any higher than he is already. So, that is why he is my wide receiver 5 right now. Moving on to number 6, we have A.J. Brown. Now, A.J. Brown, obviously, great wide receiver, but he also kind of suffers from what Tyreek Hill suffers from and that is that Devontae Smith is there and Dallas Goddard is there and they're both going to receive a lot of targets. Well, there could be good targets from Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts is also going to run the ball a ton. He's not going to have a ton of passing yards and a ton of passing touchdowns like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen or Joe Burrow or one of those guys would. So, you think about it, A.J. Brown probably cannot hit 2,000 yards. He cannot hit 15 touchdowns. He can't. Cooper Cupp can. Justin Jefferson can. Devontae Adams can. Garrett Wilson can. Tyreek Hill can. A.J. Brown can't. Not with how much Jalen Hurts runs and not with having two other very good receivers there to compete with him. He can't. He can't do that. So, the upside is not 100% there. Obviously, he's still a fantastic receiver as long as he stays healthy. He'll go over 1,000 yards. He'll probably have double-digit touchdowns. So, wide receiver 6, it's a mid-tier wide receiver 1. So, still very, very good. At number 7, the Jamar Chase weight is over. Jamar Chase is my wide receiver 7. He obviously does have to compete. He kind of has the same issue as Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown. He does have to compete with another receiver that is very, very good in Key Higgins, who we will talk about later in this episode. Yes, he is in the top 24. Shocker. Jamar Chase is about 3.5 fantasy points ahead of number 8. A.J. Brown was about 5.4 fantasy points ahead of Jamar Chase, just for clarification because I forgot to say that. So, these 3, 6, 7, and 8, pretty close together. Honestly, that trend continues with 9, 10, 11. These guys, they're not super far apart here. Take it for how you will. Jamar Chase, he's very, very good at football. If we were going off how good each receiver is, he's definitely in the top 5. He's probably, if I had to rank him, number 4 in just overall talent. Jamar Chase would be number 4 or 5. It depends on him or Tyreek Hill. For me, Jamar Chase, Key Higgins is going to be a problem. I don't think he will have just an incredible enough year, and Burrow will throw for just an incredible amount of yards to make both players very good. As I said, he's very close. He could honestly, is very, very close to A.J. Brown. Those two could flip anyway. He's actually pretty close to Tyreek Hill as well. Those guys, he could easily make it up to 5, but I don't see him going any higher than that right now. This could make me look like a fool at the end of the year if Garrett Wilson doesn't break out, Jimmy G is not that good. He could rise all the way up. He could be wide receiver 1. It's very possible. A.J. Brown cannot be wide receiver 1. Tyreek Hill probably cannot be wide receiver 1. Jamar Chase 100% can be the wide receiver 1 on the year. I just don't see that happening. I see him being wide receiver 7. At number 8, C.D. Lamb, who is only 3.5 points behind Jamar Chase. So not that big of a gap here for Mr. Lamb. While I've always kind of been a little lower on C.D. Lamb than everyone else, everyone always expects him to be this top 3 wide receiver year in and year out. I've never thought that, like any year. I've always been lower than consensus on C.D. Lamb. Not because I'm a C.D. Lamb hater or any of that. He just over-hypes. I think that's for two reasons. A. He was an incredible prospect coming out. B. Because he's the number one wide receiver on the team, everyone loves to over-hype the Dallas Cowboys. Because he's the number one wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, he's always going to be just blown out of proportion over-hyped. That's not his fault. He's a fantastic football player. But wide receiver 8-12 is probably always where he's going to be. He's not going to be this top 3 guy like everyone thinks he's going to be. He's not that far behind Jamar Chase or A.J. Brown. He could easily be wide receiver 6, based on how I have the stats coming out. Easily be wide receiver 6. But he, unlike Jamar Chase, who's just ahead of him, he cannot be the wide receiver 1. I don't see it being possible. I don't see Dak. I'm not a Dak hater, like it seems the whole world is right now. I don't see Dak being able to support the wide receiver 1 overall in fantasy. I don't see that happening. So that's why he comes in at number 8. You will see a lot of volume, kind of like Cooper Cup, because he's like the guy there. But now that Brandon Cook's there, they drafted Shoemaker, it's going to be difficult. Tony Pollard catches passes. I don't see any world where he's the wide receiver 1 for fantasy. At number 9, Stephon Diggs, who is 5.1 points behind C.D. Lamb. As I said, all these guys are really close, between 6 and about 11. Any which way, I would not be mad at you for flipping these 5 guys in any order you want, but Diggs does come out as number 9. This feels really low for Diggs. He's tried and true. We know he's going to be good. If he stays healthy and Josh Allen stays healthy and they're both on the Bills, he's going to be great. I just don't see the upside for him there anymore. Mainly because I'm losing faith that the Bills have much upside. Because we've seen it year after year after year, they haven't even come close to a championship yet. They haven't even just really scratched the surface there. And that's really concerning. I'm not going to lie to you. They've not even come close since 2020. I think they made the AFC championship and then lost Kansas City. It's a little concerning. If I was a Bills fan, I would be a little worried. Because since then, they've lost in the Divisional twice in a row. The AFC championship, Divisional, Divisional. These three years where they've been hyped up, that's been the result. Losing the playoffs. So they will probably, in fact they will, barring an injury to one of their key players like Allen or Diggs, the Bills will make the playoffs this year. And if my prediction is what I think it is, they will not represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. They will yet again lose in the playoffs. So they're always a very good team, just aren't they great? Are they the Chiefs? Are they just in that tier? Probably not, no. They're not. So it's really just kind of like, everyone's kind of over the Bills at this point. It's kind of more because of Diggs for me as well. So Stephon Diggs, he'll, like C.D. Lamb, like Jamar Chase, he will guarantee volume coming to him. There's very little risk here with Diggs, barring injury to him or Allen. But I just don't see, the upside is dwindling for Stephon Diggs. I don't think he could be the wide receiver one either. In fact, going on, there's very few receivers still here I could even see coming out as the wide receiver one. In fact, I don't see any wide receivers left past here that have that wide receiver one upside. I think Jamar Chase is the last one of those. I think there's only five of those this year. Cooper Cupp, Justin Jefferson, Devontae Adams, Jamar Chase, and Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson, if he breaks out, he could totally be the receiver one. And then those four, I don't really even need to argue for. Everyone knows, oh yeah, that's in the realm of outcome. It's a possibility. Those five are the guys I could see being the receiver one. If I had to bet on one of those five being the receiver one at the end of the year, I could just choose it will be one of those five, plus 300. I would totally do that. So, at number 10, we have Jalen Waddell, who's only .7 points behind Stephon Diggs. So, those guys just truly not that far off. That's a two yard catch right there, separating them, because these are half PPR rankings. That's a two yard catch, separating those two. So, take it for what you will, Waddell is not the wide receiver one in his own offense, so his wide receiver one upside is not there. And I'm talking overall, not just like top 12, he's a wide receiver one for your team, because he is. I have him at number 10. But Jalen Waddell, he'll be a very good receiver. Tula will be able to support Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell both being in the top 10. He throws the ball downfield enough if he stays healthy, that's very well just possible, and I actually project it happening, with Hill at 5 and Waddell at 10. He obviously has big play upside. He's fast, he can get deep. He's not going to get a ton of targets like some of these other guys will, and that will always, as long as Tyreek Hill is on the Dolphins, be Jalen Waddell's problem. So, he's just going to have to deal with that. Coming in at number 11, we have Armond Ross, St. Brown, and by the way, while we were, I took a quick break there to grab some water, because my throat was drying, and that's the worst thing to have to deal with when listening to a podcast. The Giants are placing wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Wandell Robinson on the PUP list. So, two Giants wide receivers are now being placed on the PUP list. So, that's not good, if you're the Giants. Cole Beasley signing, making a little more sense now. They don't think those two are healthy, coming off catastrophic injuries last year. So, that's something to monitor there, but Armond Ross, St. Brown is my wide receiver 11. He does have a lot of guaranteed targets. He is the one for his offense. He does have a decent quarterback, but Armond Ross, I really have nothing to say bad about Armond Ross. He just turned out to be lower than the other guys. He's 4.4 points lower than Jalen Waddell. So, not much of a difference. As I said, 6 through 11 are all really close. You can kind of flip-flop him anyway, and Armond Ross is 11. He just kind of came out as 11. Armond Ross does have top 5 upside. He does not have wide receiver 1 upside, I don't think. But, who knows? I've seen weirder things happen. Armond Ross does have some decent upside. I just don't think it'll be wide receiver 1. Now, at number 12, we have Keenan Allen, Mr. Safe himself. He's 9.7 points lower than Keenan Allen. He's 4.4 points behind Armond Ross St. Brown. This is pretty high for Keenan on most standards to a lot of people, but I like this placement of Keenan Allen. He obviously has Justin Herbert. He also has a lot of competition with Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston and Eckler catches a lot of passes and Gerald Everett and all these guys there to compete for targets. But Keenan always gets his targets, and if he stays healthy and Herbert stays healthy, that's wide receiver 1 potential, and I've missed the very last wide receiver 1. I guess this can be very confusing. When I'm talking about Keenan, there's no chance he's THE wide receiver 1 for fantasy, where I have Cooper Copperhead. A wide receiver 1 is just top 12. A wide receiver 1 for your team. Not THE wide receiver 1. It can be confusing, I'm sorry. I'm not saying Keenan can be the number 1 wide receiver in fantasy. He can be a wide receiver 1 for your team. Top 12. Now we're going to kind of skim through these next guys. DK Metcalf, targets guaranteed. Obviously he's only 2.1 points behind Keenan, so not much separating them. He's my wide receiver 13. Kind of like Keenan, targets are guaranteed, despite having a lot of competition, like Tyler Lockett and J.S.N., so maybe the touchdowns won't be there, but he had like so many touchdowns that he just like barely missed, or were just barely broken up last year, that he should probably have. There will be positive touchdown regression this year for Mr. Metcalf. At number 14 we have Debo Samuel. Actually only .5 points behind DK, so not much difference there. Debo, he can run, he can catch, he can probably pass, so Debo, obviously a big threat there. He has top 5 potential. If all goes right and Purdy targets him a lot, we'll just have to see if he does. Jimmy G is not there anymore. T. Higgins is the wide receiver 15, 7.1 points behind Debo. He's not, kind of like Waddle, he has that same kind of feel to him. Big play-up side, we'll get targets, but he's not going to be the receiver one in his offense, so that's just holding him back. At number 16, Hollywood Brown, only .7 points behind T. Higgins. I'm pretty high on Hollywood Brown. I don't love him as a player, but with Hopkins gone, he's going to be just so many targets. Will those be quality targets? I don't know, it depends on when Tyler's back, but he will get so many targets. At number 17, Devontae Smith is 2.8 fantasy points behind Hollywood Brown. 17, kind of like T. Higgins and Jalen Waddle. He has big play-up side, he's just not the wide receiver one in his own offense, so when it comes down to it, the upside, it's just not really there, so that's why he is where he is. At number 18, we have Jordan Addison, who is only 1.3 fantasy points behind Devontae Smith. This is also a mid-wide receiver too, this is really high for Jordan Addison. Obviously, I have not changed him since the speed of report, because no suspension talk has even come out. If he gets suspended, this obviously changes, but Jordan Addison, really love him going into this year, and I'm excited for what he has to offer. He's my highest ranked rookie receiver, I love him coming out of USC, and I really like the landing spot as Jefferson's number two, or cousin's number two, and also Jefferson's number two. Jordan Addison at number 18. Number 19, DJ Moore. I have him exactly 4 points behind Jordan Addison. New home for DJ Moore, now in Chicago, not Carolina. Now has probably the best quarterback of his career in Justin Fields, we've seen this before, but I actually think this time could be different for DJ Moore. The upside is definitely there, but I have him placing around where he always does. At number 20, Amari Cooper, is actually only 1.9 fantasy points behind DJ Moore. Guaranteed targets out there in Cleveland. Will those targets be good with Watson? I don't know. Watson's so hard to project right now, but targets are there. He's almost a lock to be at top 24, aka wide receiver 1 or 2. I'm being a 2, lower 2 actually, but his floor is probably wide receiver 24, he's going to be in there. Wide receiver 21 for me, only .1 points behind Amari Cooper, that's the closest margin we've had yet. Christian Watson, no more Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love is now his quarterback, but I still like the upside there, and he should be the wide receiver 1. 22, we have Terry McLaurin, only 3.3 fantasy points behind Christian Watson. Targets are also there, kind of a lot of these guys, just guaranteed targets, DJ Moore, Amari Cooper, Christian Watson, Terry McLaurin, all kind of in the same boat. Lots of guaranteed targets, obviously the outlier there is Amari Cooper, he's kind of a different play style than those other three, but they all look for guaranteed targets, limited upside due to we don't really know what their quarterback is going to be throwing the ball yet. At number 23, Drake London, this is a bigger margin, he is actually 12.7 fantasy points behind Terry McLaurin, so a bit of a drop off there, but he's still a low end wide receiver 2. Desmond Ritter, don't know what he's going to be yet, but Drake London should still be pretty good regardless of the wide receiver 1. At number 24, Chris Olave, who is 1.7 points behind London, this is actually really low for where a lot of you have Chris Olave, I don't know why everyone is so high on him, his quarterback situation didn't get much better this year with Derek Carr, and he's shown that he's a very good wide receiver, but I still don't trust the quarterback. So honestly, you could argue 20-24, these 5 players, or 19-24, 6 players, are all kind of in that same boat that will guarantee targets, guaranteed involvement in the offense, how good will the quarterback be? And that being DJ Moore, Amari Cooper, Christian Watson, Terry McLaurin, Drake London, and Chris Olave, all don't know how good the quarterback is going to be, but they'll get a lot of targets, be very involved in the offense, will be schemed into the game. So, we'll have to see. That is actually going to have to wrap us up. I will real quick just break down a few guys I wanted to say. 28, DeAndre Hopkins, the new Titan, so this is an interesting projection, I kind of feel, because there's only .1 behind Chris Godwin, and then only 2 behind DeAndre Johnson, who are 26 and 27. So, he's pretty close to the guys ahead of him, I feel pretty high on Hopkins honestly as a high wide receiver 3 at this point with not great targets, competition with Traylon Burks. We'll have to see how Hopkins does, that's where I am. Mike Evans at number 30, I have Jahan Dodson at 34, Calvin Ridley at 37, which feels really low, and then the guy I'm kind of like the lowest on of anyone for whatever reason is Brandon Iyuk, who I have at 45. That's a wide receiver at 4, folks, that's like flex territory. So, I've always been very low on Iyuk for expectations, but that's probably the player I'm the lowest on compared to ADP of any of my receivers. So, and then Michael Pittman, 54, is also very low. Jerry Judy, 50, is another low one. Those 3 guys I have way lower than their ADP, I'm not high on them. Again, I will repeat it, Brandon Iyuk, 45, Jerry Judy, 50, Michael Pittman, 54. So, yeah, take that for what you will, those are the guys I'm low on. That will wrap this up for today's episode. On the next episode, we will cover my tight end rankings, and since tight ends will be a little shorter, I will break down kind of the best of the rest, some other players I would like to talk about, or if I don't really have that available for you guys, I could just answer a couple quick questions I have in the docs. So, with that being said, have a fantastic rest of your week, and goodbye.
