00:00
So we're going to look at rookie wide receivers because Joe and I made the point here, the
00:07
game is changing.
00:08
The mentality of society is changing, understanding what young people can do immediately is beginning
00:14
to pay off.
00:15
And there are some wide receivers that could make some immediate impacts, Joe.
00:18
Yeah.
00:19
Malik Neighbors is definitely one of them.
00:21
And I really like, again, the talent of Malik Neighbors.
00:24
You have to love that.
00:26
The situation has me a little concerned because I can't sit here and say that investing in
00:31
wide receivers that have Daniel Jones as a quarterback is a great idea.
00:37
That would make me a bad fantasy analyst.
00:39
And I think this is the problem we struggle with too, where as fantasy analysts and all
00:43
the nerd community out there, you know who you are.
00:46
You love the talent, you fall in love with the talent, you fall in love with the tape
00:48
and all the college film.
00:50
And then you realize, wait a minute, he's not in as good a situation in the NFL.
00:54
And that's a problem.
00:55
Okay.
00:56
And Daniel Jones is, again, at a crossroads.
00:59
And I don't know how many times we're going to make excuses for Daniel Jones that, oh,
01:02
well, he didn't have Saquon Barkley or, oh, he wasn't healthy this year.
01:05
Oh, this and that and all this nonsense.
01:07
Well, here you go.
01:09
Here's Malik Neighbors.
01:10
Everybody's supposed to say, well, it's just gonna be great because he's gonna have all
01:12
the volume.
01:13
But what's the quality of that volume?
01:14
I think that's questionable.
01:15
And I think that's why his ADP is still wide receiver 24 overall.
01:18
Now, as wide receiver 24 overall, I'll take that value in a PPR.
01:23
You see the numbers here.
01:25
You see the projections, 1048, 80 receptions, six touchdowns.
01:29
I think that's more his ceiling than necessarily his floor.
01:35
And I think maybe somewhere in between is what you should be thinking about.
01:39
And that's fine.
01:40
At wide receiver 24, I'm perfectly fine.
01:42
Now, where I struggle is I look after him and some of the guys going after him, like
01:46
T. Higgins, who's already put up a wide receiver 16 seasons, right?
01:50
Guys like George Pickens, who you know, he's the number one in his offense.
01:52
And you have a little bit better hope, regardless of who the quarterback is there.
01:56
More on that.
01:57
And guys like Terry McLaurin, who have four straight thousand yard receivers.
02:01
So he's playing with a rookie quarterback.
02:03
So there's uncertainty there.
02:04
But I'm less uncertain about Jaden Daniels than I am about Daniel Jones.
02:09
And I think that's what it comes down to for me.
02:11
I'll take some of those veterans over Malik neighbors, then I will necessarily looking
02:16
at Malik neighbors and say, he's gonna crush all these expectations.
02:20
I think those projections are actually really good.
02:23
And if you're seeing numbers for him that are, I don't know, in the 1100 range or things
02:28
like that, I'd be looking for the unders.
