00:00Now let's move to the premium wide receivers as we continue to build our lineups.

00:04Justin Jefferson's at the top at 9,200.

00:06I normally don't like to have to wait till Monday.

00:09I'd like to build a separate lineup.

00:10But let me hear from you because of the way it's all structured out.

00:14Yeah, you can't have Jefferson Barkley.

00:16You just can't do it.

00:16So you got to pick one or the other.

00:18Now, I would imagine that Jefferson bounces back after a very disappointing week 18.

00:22Lots of opportunities in the red zone and him and Darnell just could not get together on it,

00:25unfortunately, and then things spiraled out of control in the second half of that game against

00:29the Lions.

00:29So Pukanukuwa, who's been really good, 8,700.

00:32If I'm the Vikings, I'm just not letting Pukanukuwa beat me.

00:35Cooper Cupp, towards the month of December here, I think a little disappointing.

00:39A.J. Brown, consistent at 8,600.

00:41Mike Evans, a little concerning.

00:42Now his old friend Marshawn Lattimore is back for the Washington Commanders.

00:46And that has been his kryptonite over the years.

00:49Is Lattimore 100% healthy?

00:51Probably not.

00:52But if there's one guy who has given Mike Evans fits in that division for years and years,

00:57it's been Lattimore.

00:59Ironically, he has to face him in the playoffs that he is a Washington Commander.

01:02Now, Terry McLaurin on the other side at 7,700.

01:04We already talked about this.

01:05Terry McLaurin has been a wide receiver, one in fantasy.

01:08You can start there.

01:09If you want to go up to Saquon Barkley, you could start at Terry McLaurin.

01:12You can go put Austin Eckler in there and you could start to load up a little bit into that

01:15high total evening game.

01:17And I think that is the way I want to go.

01:18Devonta Smith is a huge fade for me.

01:20I just don't see enough available for him.

01:23Now, maybe he sees the end zone.

01:24It's a fluky thing.

01:25But with a healthy Jalen Hurts, a healthy A.J.

01:29Brown and Jalen Hurts and excuse me, Saquon Barkley, all those guys all together.

01:34It's just getting really tricky out there to find enough football to go around for Devonta

01:38Smith.

01:38So I'm going to fade away from Devonta Smith.

01:40I'm going to look for Terry McLaurin as that go-to guy as a wide receiver, one who is still

01:44premium, but at a little bit cheaper cost than guys like Puka or Justin Jefferson.

01:50My gosh, it's like shopping with my wife.

01:52Everything.

01:52I'll leave the aisle.

01:54I'll come back with a handful of stuff, all excited.

01:56No, no, no.

01:57OK, maybe.

01:59And then as we walk down, I'll see that the maybe has been put over by the coffee and

02:03now it's nothing.

02:04OK, let's go to some value wide receivers here.

02:08We expect here's the thing.

02:09You're looking at matchups, right?

02:10Joe's going to tell you who's on whom and why it matters.

02:13Now we're looking at implied totals as well.

02:15And there's a couple of players here in separate games, I believe, that could apply to this

02:19conversation.

02:20Value wide receivers, Joe, where are you going?

02:23Well, there's one that stands out, and it's Courtland Sutton, and that's because it's

02:26pretty clear where they want to go with the football.

02:28So 7100 Courtland Sutton for the Denver Broncos.

02:30He has been the go-to guy for Bo Nix.

02:32And over the last 10 weeks or so, Bo Nix and Josh Allen have very similar statistics, which

02:38I know is going to freak a lot of you out, but it's just a fact.

02:41So Courtland Sutton is that guy.

02:44Mims has been a big play guy.

02:45So if you're in tournaments and you want to get a piece of the Denver offense, maybe playing

02:49from behind, having to throw the football, then yeah, Mims could be a guy you throw in

02:52there as a flex play.

02:53I like that.

02:54You don't see him on the list right now because he's cheaper than all these guys.

02:57Cooper Cup for me is a fade on this list.

02:59Again, don't like the trend.

03:01I like the Vikings defense.

03:03I think they got measured.

03:04I think they realized what happened last week, and now they're going to get better off of

03:08that.

03:08Jalen McMillan, I absolutely love at 6400.

03:10Again, if I don't like Mike Evans, I got to look for touchdowns somewhere else.

03:13McMillan has been a stud down the stretch.

03:16Addison, McMillan, 68, 64, two of the best values, and you're going to get touchdown

03:20equity out of both of those guys.

03:21So those are my targets in this group.
