The Players
Everyone the pods talked about this week, ranked by heat. Click in for the full dossier and every take.
WR · JAX · 16 takes this week · 15▲ 1▼
The line: Draft him now before ADP catches up; nearly every show but one sees a lead-role breakout, not a hype mirage.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Described as receiving unprecedented positive camp buzz as Trevor Lawrence's clear first read; hosts argue he should be valued as a top-25 WR/must-start option, well above his current ADP.
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Rising toward top of round 5; hosts believe reports he'll be the WR who doesn't leave the field are legitimate, and the ZAP model always liked him; strong season-long and best ball target.
WR · KC · 14 takes this week · 3▲ 7▼ 4▶
The line: Treat Rice as a discount boom/bust WR3 — don't pay WR2 price until camp shows real burst and a clean target share.
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Major fade due to knee surgery, off-field legal issues, and Kansas City likely diversifying its offense with Kenneth Walker's screen usage, Xavier Worthy's expanded role, and Jalen Royals' potential emergence; touchdown-heavy projections seen as inflated.
- ▼The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Sam Sherman's top wide receiver fade in the top 30; calls him a 'PPR scam' whose value is fragile and dependent on scheme, with concerning reports the Chiefs aren't interested in extending him long-term.
WR · DEN · 14 takes this week · 9▲ 2▼ 3▶
The line: Buy the Payton-offense target-share thesis once the hamstring clears, but respect his injury track record as the real risk.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Hosts view him as underranked (WR16-19 range) as Sean Payton's featured receiver, drawing comps to Payton's Michael Thomas usage; aggregate projections have him far lower (WR27).
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Silva projects him to inherit the favorable Z-role that boosted Troy Franklin last year, behind Denver's top offensive line, and views him as clearly better talent than Cortland Sutton.
WR · CHI · 13 takes this week · 2▲ 5▼ 6▶
The line: Groin injury clouds elite efficiency profile — worth a round-plus discount now, but re-buy if he's full-go by Week 1.
- ▼Fantasy Feast: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast: Mentioned as another Bears player dealing with an injury, adding to Chicago's camp concerns.
- ▶Fantasy Life Show: Hosts scored him 6-7, citing his late-season dominance last year but concerns over a fresh groin injury and competition from Colston Loveland and Rome Odunze for targets in Chicago's crowded skill group.
WR · IND · 13 takes this week · 11▲ 2▶
The line: Draft Downs as Indy's WR1-in-waiting around round 8-10; the groin injury is the discount, not a red flag.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Could open the season as Indianapolis' true No.1 receiver while Pierce is banged up, now benefiting from more two-receiver personnel snaps.
- ▲Fantasy Life Show: Hosts saw him as a clear beneficiary of Michael Pittman Jr.'s exit and Alec Pierce's uncertain, slow return from injury, projecting him for triple-digit targets and a Zay Flowers-like role.
WR · NYG · 12 takes this week · 8▲ 1▼ 3▶
The line: Health fears are resolved — draft him as a confident second-round WR1 even at the higher price, Dart's development is the only real risk.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Early-camp panic about his recovery has subsided; hosts now view him as solidly back in second-round conversation.
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: ADP has skyrocketed from round 4 to late round 2; both hosts agree the rise is warranted given health updates, and Sherman argues you shouldn't refuse to chase him up the board just because you missed cheaper ADP.
WR · TB · 11 takes this week · 11▲
The line: Draft Egbuka as a locked-in WR1-caliber target hog in Tampa's offense — the shows see almost no downside case here.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Buy-high candidate; showed WR3 PPR pace over his first five games last year even without Mike Evans/Chris Godwin healthy, and camp hype mirrors last year's pre-season buzz.
- ▲Fantasy Life Show: Pete gave him the episode's only 10, calling him a locked-in breakout given his early WR1 target share and Mike Evans' exit, though Kendall flagged touchdown-dependent production as a risk.
WR · IND · 11 takes this week · 1▲ 8▼ 2▶
The line: Draft him for the WR1 upside at a discount, but don't rely on him weekly until he's actually practicing.
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Big new contract may not change his boom-bust deep-ball role; ongoing ankle/PRP injury uncertainty makes him a risky target despite Colts' investment.
- ▼The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Contrasted with Sadiq as a more concerning injury situation because reported timetables for his return have repeatedly not been met.
WR · PHI · 10 takes this week · 8▲ 2▶
The line: Buy Smith as a target-hog WR1 in Brown's absence, but track the hamstring before locking in an early draft slot.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Ranked 18th-25th overall; hosts cite huge target-share spikes when A.J. Brown has missed time and an improving Eagles run game/O-line as reasons for optimism.
- ▲Fantasy Football Today: Jamey ranks him in his top 12 WRs, ahead of George Pickens, citing strong per-game production when A.J. Brown has missed games and Jalen Hurts leaning on him.
WR · BAL · 10 takes this week · 9▲ 1▼
The line: Buy him below WR11 — the target share is already elite, and touchdown regression plus a scheme change make this a value play.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Hosts project a possible passing-volume/red-zone uptick under new OC Declan Doyle, ranking him WR11-13 versus his current WR17 ADP with top-5 upside.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Hosts want to be at or above consensus; underlying numbers are great, just need better touchdown usage.
WR · WAS · 10 takes this week · 2▲ 3▼ 5▶
The line: Draft him as a solid WR2, not a locked-in WR1 — Diggs and the Tunsil injury genuinely cap his ceiling this year.
- ▼Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Downgraded from green light due to Laramie Tunsil's injury making it harder to access vertical passing looks.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Hosts rank him slightly above Christian Watson, the only veteran in that group they'd still take over Watson.
WR · WAS · 10 takes this week · 10▲
The line: Draft Diggs as a value WR2 in the mid-rounds; the efficiency profile and Washington opportunity outpace his current ADP.
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Biggest ADP riser after signing; hosts still view him as undervalued and rank him above Alec Pierce, Makai Lemon, and similar to Michael Pittman/Chris Godwin/DK Metcalf.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Coming off ACL, projected for another 1,000-yard season in the slot for Jayden Daniels; seen as a value at 115th overall ADP.
WR · SF · 9 takes this week · 4▲ 2▼ 3▶
The line: Draft him as a touchdown-upside WR3/flex on Purdy's arm, not a locked WR1 — the injury risk is real and priced in.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Seen as a bounce-back buy after a down year, expected to remain the primary touchdown threat in an efficient offense even amid other injuries to pass-catchers.
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Silva targets him at a 5th-6th round cost given SF's thin pass-catching corps behind him and strong Purdy deep-ball chemistry; JJ agrees despite acknowledging volatility/injury risk.
WR · LAR · 8 takes this week · 6▲ 2▶
The line: Elite target-share upside is real, but don't lock in the No.1 overall WR ranking until the injury and suspension questions clear.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Case made that he could be the No.1 overall wide receiver ahead of Jamar Chase, though hosts haven't fully made that switch.
- ▶Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Facing potential discipline/suspension risk and left a joint practice with an injury; both hosts keep him top-5 overall and won't drop him much given upside and the short likely punishment window.
WR · NE · 8 takes this week · 6▲ 1▼ 1▶
The line: Draft him as a high-ceiling WR1 on volume upside, but confirm the thumb is fine and Maye rapport is building before Week 1.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Ranked 22nd-23rd overall; hosts bet on a Josh McDaniels/Drake May connection reviving his usage after a down 2025, comparing it to McDaniels' past work with Devante Adams.
- ▼Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Yellow light/fade at end-of-2nd-round ADP due to signs of decline and uncertain fit as a vertical X receiver in New England.
WR · DAL · 8 takes this week · 6▲ 2▼
The line: Draft Pickens as a confident top-25 boom-bust WR1-caliber asset; the pass-heavy-script skepticism is a minority, defensible but overruled by consensus.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Praised as now a 'complete receiver' capable of stealing WR1 value from Lamb in Dallas' pass-heavy offense.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Ranked 22nd-24th overall; hosts highlight a shift to more 'gimme' short targets alongside deep-ball ability, calling him a boom-bust free roll on a high-powered Cowboys offense.
WR · BUF · 8 takes this week · 6▲ 1▼ 1▶
The line: Draft him as a target-hog WR2 with WR1 upside via the Brady/Allen fit, but don't chase touchdowns.
- ▲Fantasy Football Today: Reports indicate he's fitting the bill as Josh Allen's true number one receiver again in Joe Brady's offense, with value at ADP 63.
- ▲RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Compared to 2015 Brandon Marshall's change-of-scenery bounce back; expected to thrive with Josh Allen despite declining metrics in Chicago.
WR · JAX · 8 takes this week · 1▲ 3▼ 4▶
The line: Draft him as a discounted boom-bust deep threat in round 7, not a locked-in WR1, given Washington's rising target share.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Some concern he could see fewer early-read targets now that Parker Washington has become Trevor Lawrence's primary first read.
- ▶The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: JJ says he'd take Parker Washington over him in drafts given Washington's post-injury efficiency and usage.
WR · PIT · 8 takes this week · 3▲ 1▼ 4▶
The line: Draft Pittman as a high-floor WR3 target hog for Rodgers, and don't let the minor camp injury scare shake your price.
- ▼Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Traded away from the Colts for minimal draft compensation, opening target share for Josh Downs and Tyler Warren.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: His departure from Indianapolis frees up roughly 110 targets that should flow to Josh Downs, given similar average depth of target and yards per route run profiles.
WR · GB · 7 takes this week · 7▲
The line: Draft Watson as a top-20 WR now — the target-share and efficiency data justify taking him meaningfully ahead of ADP.
- ▲Fantasy Football Today: Jamey doesn't think he'll come off the field for the Packers and was special coming back from last year's ACL tear.
- ▲RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Compared to 2024 Terry McLaurin; projected for a top-15, borderline WR1 season with an expanding route tree and rising target share.
WR · ARI · 7 takes this week · 1▲ 2▼ 4▶
The line: Draft him as a lottery-ticket WR3 at his discount, not a locked-in starter — the tape concerns are real and unresolved.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Cited as part of a crowded Cardinals passing game that could limit Jeremiah Love's target share.
- ▼Harris Football Podcast: Hasn't shown separation on tape in year one; ranked below Michael Wilson (WR38-40 range) despite pedigree hype.
WR · MIN · 6 takes this week · 3▲ 1▼ 2▶
The line: Draft him as a locked-in target hog, but price in QB risk — he's a low-end WR1, not a top-5 lock.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Preferred over Lamb as the clear No.1 option; expected to bounce back big now that Kyler Murray (not J.J. McCarthy) is projected to start.
- ▼Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Harmon downgraded him to his second tier of receivers (as low as 15th overall) due to lingering uncertainty about Murray's staying power and offensive weapons, while still valuing him as the only Viking he's proactively targeting.
WR · ATL · 6 takes this week · 4▲ 2▶
The line: Draft London as a locked top-10 WR1 now, and stop discounting him for QB uncertainty — the volume alone carries him.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Ranked 19th-20th overall; hosts love his target share (behind only Chase/Jefferson) and slot usage, especially paired with Kyle Pitts under new coach Kevin Stefanski.
- ▲The Audible: Called 'quarterback-proof' regardless of whether Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. starts, having produced well despite lacking strong QB play.
WR · CHI · 6 takes this week · 5▲ 1▶
The line: Draft Odunze now at his current ADP discount before Burden's injury clears and the market corrects.
- ▶Fantasy Life Show: Noted as averaging 15.5 fantasy points per game through his first eight games before injury, seen as a bounce-back candidate and Kendall's most-drafted Bears receiver behind Loveland.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Undervalued at 67th overall ADP relative to Luther Burden; could be used as an ISO receiver in heavier personnel sets with Ben Johnson.
WR · CLE · 6 takes this week · 4▲ 2▶
- ▶The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Up 15 ADP slots on hype but hosts caution against drafting him over Casey Concepcion; fine as a late click (round 13-15) but not a reach.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Sleeper compared to Cedric Tillman-type downfield role; expected to earn snaps ahead of Jerry Jeudy.
WR · DET · 5 takes this week · 4▲ 1▶
The line: Draft him as a top-five, low-variance WR1 anchor — the case for him is stability, not upside.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Noted as a new addition to the top tier-one grouping this offseason.
- ▲RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Projected as a top-3 WR again with a safe 17.5-23 PPG floor/ceiling; Dave ranks him WR5, ahead of JSN and McCaffrey.
WR · CAR · 5 takes this week · 2▲ 3▶
The line: Draft McMillan as a talented WR1-or-bust bet whose ceiling is entirely tied to Bryce Young and Carolina's run-pass balance.
- ▲Fantasy Life Show: Scored 5 and 9; hosts praised his 1,000-yard, 70-catch rookie season as underappreciated and see him as a round-two pick next year if Bryce Young improves, but Young's limitations cap his ceiling.
- ▲Fantasy Life Show: Picked over Zay Flowers/Waddle/Ladd McConkey as the top of a flat WR tier; expected to command 10+ targets/game and lead the Panthers in targets easily.
WR · LAC · 5 takes this week · 3▲ 2▶
The line: Buy McConkey now as a discounted WR1: motion usage plus Allen's departure clears his path to lead targets.
- ▶Fantasy Life Show: Both hosts scored him a 7, noting his talent and rookie flashes but worrying Mike McDaniel's offense could spread targets among Gadsden, Trey Harris, and QJ instead of consolidating them to McConkey.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Green light pick who could be deployed like Tyreek Hill under new OC, but concern about durability after taking big hits.
WR · DET · 5 takes this week · 3▲ 1▼ 1▶
The line: Bet on the new OC boosting volume, but let his ADP fall—St. Brown and LaPorta still eat targets.
- ▲RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Expected to deliver at ADP with continued touchdown production after a strong second half last season.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, his shift to short-area/YAC-focused usage under Dan Campbell should stick and could improve with more targets; hosts call him a steal at WR25-28 range.
WR · NO · 5 takes this week · 3▲ 2▶
The line: Draft Tyson as a value pick above ADP, but track hamstring news closely before locking him into your WR2.
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Both hosts are extremely high on him as a rookie entering an ideal dome/shootout Saints offense, with JJ ranking him 35 spots ahead of ADP and citing a 99th percentile breakout score.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Rookie the hosts have warmed up to as a green light/viable sleeper, complementing Chris Olave on breaking routes.
WR · DEN · 5 takes this week · 3▼ 2▶
- ▼The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: JJ is not sold on him, calls him one of the weirdest attachment cases in fantasy given age curve and lack of consistent top-20 production, especially with Pat Bryant and Jaylen Waddle now in the mix.
- ▼The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Silva says he's been fading Sutton for two years running due to age curve and expects Waddle to take over his role in the offense.
WR · PHI · 5 takes this week · 1▲ 4▼
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Rookie viewed as underranked in the low-40s; strong college tape (Biletnikoff winner) and fit as Devonta Smith's running mate in Jalen Hurts' offense, pending recovery from a hamstring injury.
- ▼The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Injury lingering and reports he won't start season as starter; JJ has been lower on him than market and reduced exposure.
WR · SF · 5 takes this week · 2▲ 2▼ 1▶
The line: Take him as a cheap late-round bet on efficiency, not a roster cornerstone — his ADP still undersells the production, but the role is shrinking.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Undervalued at WR60 in consensus; hosts believe his return to Kyle Shanahan's offense makes him a better bet than rookie hype-name Dont'e Stribling, projecting strong rushing-aided touchdown upside.
- ▶Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Garvin green-lights him given SF's injury-riddled WR corps and dual-threat role; Harmon skeptical about what's left in the tank.
WR · JAX · 5 takes this week · 3▲ 2▶
- ▶Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Role uncertain between defense and offense; could mix in as outside receiver, which is bad news for Jacoby Meyers/Brian Thomas Jr. but still a late-round dart throw.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: 15th-round pick with major offensive-snap upside (up to 50%) if his two-way workload increases or an injury opens a bigger receiver role.
WR · NO · 4 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼ 2▶
The line: Hold him as a locked-in No. 1 with real Shough upside, but don't pay for last year's target share—buy the dip, don't chase the name.
- ▶Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry: Seen as complementary to Tyson—Olave a strong downfield/zone-beater, Tyson excels underneath, making them a good pairing in New Orleans' passing attack.
- ▼FantasyPros Football Podcast: Bogman calls him a sell-high after his big extension, worried new weapons like Jordan Tyson will cut into his volume; Fitzmaurice is even lower, ranking him WR18.
WR · CIN · 4 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼ 2▶
The line: Draft Higgins as a high-floor WR2 with touchdown-dependent upside, not a breakout bet, given Chase's presence and his injury history.
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Called the weakest of the WR13-20 tier since he'll never be the clear number one in his own offense.
- ▶Fantasy Football Happy Hour: Both hosts rank him similarly (WR16) above market ADP, but agree his ceiling is capped unless Ja'Marr Chase gets injured; expect a solid floor season (~900 yards, 9 TDs) rather than a breakout.
WR · LAR · 4 takes this week · 2▼ 2▶
- ▼Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Harmon dropped him five spots due to age and the fragile, condensed Rams passing offense, preferring younger receivers in his tier like DJ Moore.
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Both hosts rank Christian Watson ahead of him in their WR rankings.
WR · PIT · 4 takes this week · 1▼ 3▶
- ▶Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Yellow light for Garvin, going a bit too early relative to appealing sleepers just outside top 100.
- ▶The Audible: Not viewed as a great fit for Aaron Rodgers' quick, safe passing style compared to Michael Pittman, who profiles as more of a possession receiver.
WR · TB · 4 takes this week · 3▲ 1▶
The line: Draft Godwin as a value slot receiver near WR41 ADP; his target-share ceiling with Evans out justifies the injury risk.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Played over 70% of snaps and had 14 targets in a stretch where Egbuka also produced two 100-yard games, countering the narrative that Godwin's presence limits Egbuka.
- ▲Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry: Ranked well above ADP (75 overall vs WR41/98 overall ADP) given historical 23% target share when Evans is out and Tampa Bay's slot-heavy passing scheme under Baker Mayfield.
WR · GB · 4 takes this week · 2▲ 1▼ 1▶
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Part of Sam Sherman's bullish take on the Packers' concentrated pass offense, seen as a bet that could outplay ADP if target share consolidates among Reed, Watson, and Golden.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Underrated sleeper at 119th overall after a lost, injury-plagued 2025 season; expected to benefit from heavy 11-personnel usage and red zone scheming.
WR · GB · 4 takes this week · 2▲ 2▶
- ▶Fantasy Life Show: Scored 5 and 7; hosts noted his disappointing rookie year (sub-50% snap share, zero touchdowns) but see upside now that Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are gone and Jordan Love may pass more.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Preferred over Xavier Worthy at the same 12th-round price; strong training camp buzz, expected to play nearly every snap after Green Bay moved on from Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.
WR · PHI · 4 takes this week · 3▲ 1▶
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Rising as Makai Lemon's injury opens a role; JJ is heavily drafting him around round 15-17 as a change-of-scenery value pick behind DeVonta Smith.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Deep sleeper who profiles as a strong route runner fitting Jalen Hurts' quick-out/curl passing tendencies; could be Eagles' No. 2 WR early in the season.
WR · DAL · 3 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼ 1▶
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Hosts worry his touchdown upside and weekly floor are capped by George Pickens sharing targets, making him a fade relative to consensus in round one.
- ▲Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: Ranked 5th; last year's 'down' season was skewed by an injury game and meaningless Week 18 snaps, plus uncharacteristic drops — hosts expect a bounce-back as the clear alpha.
WR · HOU · 3 takes this week · 3▶
- ▶Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Ranked 21st overall; elite yards-per-target talent, but hosts flag a concerning drop in catches/targets and red-zone inefficiency (3-of-19 TD conversion) that needs to regress positively.
- ▶Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: Ranked 10th; hosts love the talent but worry his target volume (~120-130) is too low for a true top-5 finish given Houston's run/defense-first approach.
WR · ARI · 3 takes this week · 2▲ 1▼
The line: Buy Wilson only as a cheap late-round dart on ADP value, not as a bet he outproduces Harrison Jr. in real target share.
- ▲Harris Football Podcast: Ranked ahead of Marvin Harrison due to better ball skills, speed, and route-running to this point.
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Called the best value on the Cardinals given a huge ADP gap versus Marvin Harrison Jr., with a path to be the team's WR1.
WR · JAX · 3 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼ 1▶
- ▶The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Silva calls him an underrated receiver who will still take targets away from Parker Washington in Jacksonville's crowded pass-catching room.
- ▼Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry: Ranked behind Parker Washington by both hosts, seen as more of a 10th-round floor play with less upside.
WR · MIN · 3 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼ 1▶
- ▲Establish The Run Fantasy Football: Dropped in ADP due to Vikings QB uncertainty, but considered underpriced at 102 given his track record of 20 touchdowns in two seasons even under mediocre QB play.
- ▼Fantasy Football Happy Hour: Freedman fades him well below ADP (WR48) due to Vikings QB uncertainty and tougher path to team-leading targets compared to receivers going in a similar range; Berry pushes back citing his strong end-zone target history.
WR · CLE · 3 takes this week · 3▲
- ▲The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Praised as a very good prospect, comped to Garrett Wilson-lite, with a Zapp score close to Makai Lemon; should be drafted well ahead of Denzel Boston.
- ▲Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Deep sleeper at 132nd overall; hosts like him alongside Denzel Boston as the Browns' likely top two WRs over Jerry Jeudy.
WR · CAR · 3 takes this week · 3▲
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Called a significantly underrated WR3 candidate after Carolina extended him as their clear No.2 target for Bryce Young, with strong target-share/route projections.
- ▲Fantasy Football Today: Jamey believes he has plenty of upside as a late-round flier.
WR · BAL · 3 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼ 1▶
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Preseason camp riser generating hype despite unproven ability to handle real coverage; hosts caution it's too early to trust the buzz.
- ▼The Ringer Fantasy Football Show: Praised for elite catch-radius and ball skills (compared to Tee Higgins at the catch point) and dominating training camp, but hosts say he's not fantasy-relevant this year given crowded Ravens receiver room.
WR · BUF · 3 takes this week · 1▲ 2▼
- ▲Dynasty Nerds Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football: Projected as a near-lock top-15 NFL pick and the clear WR2 of the 2027 class after a big one-handed catch highlight.
- ▼Dynasty Degens: Hosts mock his poor 'Trinity score' from last season, framing him as a downgrade compared to newly acquired DJ Moore.
WR · CIN · 2 takes this week · 2▲
- ▲Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: Ranked 2nd on the show's consensus but preferred #1 by two of three hosts due to Cincinnati's higher offensive/defensive ceiling when Burrow is healthy.
- ▲FantasyPros Football Podcast: Used as the benchmark for peak dynasty value and as the only player hosts would rank ahead of Jeremiah Smith.
WR · SEA · 2 takes this week · 1▼ 1▶
- ▶Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: Ranked 3rd; posted a historic efficiency season (17.7 pts/gm, 1,793 yards) but hosts expect his target share to come down with Rasheed Shaheed and Tory Horton healthy this year.
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Lower on him due to unsustainable ~45% team receiving-yard market share and expected regression under new OC Kubiak.
WR · NYJ · 2 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼
- ▲Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: Ranked WR14; posted elite per-game numbers before injury last year (WR5 pace) and benefits from a much-improved Jets offensive line and passing-oriented QB change.
- ▼Fantasy Football Today: Heath's fade of the round-4 group, ranked about a full point per game behind Flowers/Egbuka/McMillan/Higgins in projections.
WR · TEN · 2 takes this week · 1▲ 1▼
- ▲Fantasy Focus Football: Multiple hosts rank him well above consensus (as high as WR22), calling him a reliable, pro-ready WR2 who was underrated in the pre-draft process.
- ▼FantasyPros Football Podcast: Fitzmaurice views him as a sell-high at WR14 given the Titans' poor offensive line and Cam Ward's inconsistency; Wormeli and Bogman think his ranking (WR14-24 debate) is inflated by rookie hype.
WR · TEN · 2 takes this week · 1▼ 1▶
- ▶The Audible: High target volume but limited yardage upside (never topped 1,000 yards even with 92 catches); Coventry is skeptical of his value at WR48 ADP versus his WR13 finish, preferring Jordan Addison instead.
- ▼Fantasy Life Show: Considered a slightly worse/riskier version of Pittman since he lacks a clear runway with Carnell Tate and Calvin Ridley also competing for targets.
WR · LAC · 2 takes this week · 1▲ 1▶
- ▲FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Led the Chargers in target share, yards per route run, and red-zone/deep targets over McConkie when healthy; real Chargers WR1.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Considered more suited to a Z-receiver role than an alpha X role, making Trey Harris the preferred sleeper.
WR · HOU · 2 takes this week · 2▲
- ▲Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast: Camp buzz has been strong, with even Stroud and Collins praising him; could open up more room in the Texans' passing offense.
- ▲Fantasy Life Show: Chosen over Rashid Shaheed/Deebo Samuel based on strong training camp hype videos as a late-round upside swing.
WR · SF · 2 takes this week · 2▶
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Rookie hype name rising fast in early sleeper/ADP conversations, but hosts prefer Deebo Samuel's proven role in the same offense.
- ▶FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Rookie who might have a golden opportunity due to SF 49ers WR injuries, though hosts remain cautious given his draft-prospect doubts.
WR · WAS · 2 takes this week · 2▼
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Seen as the player most negatively impacted by the Diggs signing, though could still factor in the second half.
- ▼FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Not seen as real competition for targets yet; barely getting first-team reps in camp.
