2024 Predictions: Who is this year's Puka Nacua? (Dark horse rookie WRs) | Yahoo Sports

[@chaos_510]

Just watching to see if dbro is gonna give Jacob Gibbs his credit for bringing up Puka first. Once again he doesnt

[@odinx13x44]

Gibbs is one of the best in the business.

[@matthewdennis1739]

I remember Gibbs being the first and biggest advocate for Puka last year.

[@guitarninjarick8179]

That's where I first heard about, dont know for sure if he was first on it but I thank Gibbs for Puka and Tank❤

[@PayDay4Youtube]

Listen i hate D Bro but to all who think Gibbs should get credit? Cmon man he did a 1 min segment saying that he liked him a bit. He didnt predict he would be anywhere close to what Puka turned out to be, NOBODY did. Not one fantasy expert nor real life nfl scout, gm or exec did either, or else he woulda been a top 10 pick. For once i would like the fantasy community to give credit when its deserved. Im still waiting on the day an expert picks a guy with absolute conviction and says he will end up a top 20 player or something but they NEVER do that

[@chaos_510]

@@PayDay4KZbin D Bro had “absolute conviction” Tony Pollard was his RB1 last season, go watch the tape. Jacob Gibbs was the 1st person I heard (and it seems many others) to lay out Pukas per route data in college and why he stood out. For that reason I drafted Puka with one of my last picks in every bestball draft I did. Credit is due

[@wpl8275]

Puka had Matt Stafford throwing to him. Your first 3 guys have Jacoby Brissett and Bo Nix throwing to them.

[@brett4932]

This guy gets it.

[@OrionTripp]

Jacoby Brissett which has better numbers than Daniel Jones lol

[@matthewdennis1739]

Pearsall and Burton are the only WRs with the requisite QB play and offensive coaching to have a chance (I know they didn't mention Pearsall, but with a trade and an injury he could do it.)

[@jonesc456]

Before I’ve watched the video I call Ladd as this years puka. Hopefully this aged well

[@mister_padilla6105]

Wrong

[@edbrewington3]

Stafford has tunnel vision, but I'm not sure Herbert does. I think Ladd is a very good route runner, but he lacks size and volume to warrant that assumption.

[@nickguitarfreak17]

I got javon baker, malik washington qnd and Jalen coker. Hoping one of them hits 🤞

[@jorgecancino2671]

Jalen McMillian might be the closest value wise. He has great upside in the bucs offense and could ascend to the #1 option in 2 years.

[@Shawn-ey7qg]

Since Puka broke so many rookie receiving records, the correct answer is probably no-one. In terms of a dark horse WR who could smash, I 100% agree with DBRO - my favorite of this group is Troy Franklin. One of best deep threats I've seen in a while. If you like advanced metrics, his yards per route run against man AND zone are among the best in the class. If you like the "eye test" - which I do - he passes it. Plus he gets to play with QB he has already spent already years developing chemistry with as an added bonus. I'm a KC fan and I would have been quite happy with Franklin at the end of the first round - that kid can play.

[@Mrsoulsinger16]

Roman Wilson

[@tylero2112]

I have 4 of these guys on my dynasty team 😆 baker was my go to pick too. I was hoping to get Polk too but he went before. Also Malik was on the waiver wire . I saw that and grabbed him after the draft ended. About 3 months ago. I drafted franklin to hold for a trade for my buddy who has nix.

[@DoodlestoPoodles]

I passed on Sinnot in my main dynasty league, my reason is Kingsbury did not use the tight end much and JD5 barely through over the middle on LSU ! I did snag Lukemc,Javon Baker and Jalyn Polk loved this video great takes!

[@gimmedatazz1554]

If there was a next puka Derek brown wouldn’t know

[@edbrewington3]

Stafford can have tunnel vision, so when picking a rooky WR, you need to factor the QB....like Stafford's tendencies.

[@greatratejake5675]

Constitutional Republic! Subscribed.

[@djkevgar]

Its the commanders lol maybe they did draft a fullback in the 2nd round

[@kolr2873]

Troy Franklin is my pick. Fell to the 4th round and joining an ambiguous WR room where Sutton has never shown WR1 upside and Mims just wasn't utilized last year. Broncos players are ugly for fantasy this year, but so were the Rams going into the season last year

[@keithgrider4914]

Reynolds

[@Dragonheart325]

Brendon Rice 🍚

[@PayDay4Youtube]

The fact that DBro thinks Troy Franklin is a good route runner is the reason why i know that anybody can get a job as a fantasy expert smh

[@gangstaland1]

That is NOT panthers legend and pro-bowler Derrick brown

[@geoffl.3247]

The answer is there is no "this year's Puka".

[@Jollow7]

Ricky Pearsall 🤫🤫🤫

[@slimsammich3862]

First round pick.

[@Jollow7]

@@slimsammich3862 I mean in the sense that he’s an unathletic looking overlooked WR but turns out to be a complete star in his situation and system

Lmfao. Is that supposed to be a pride flag? Hahahaha

[@mister_padilla6105]

What is it with gays and funko pops lol

[@brooklynalldaybrooklynalln4254]

The title of the video was pretty much click bait, alot of fantasy analysts are doing this "next puka take", so i get it. But Puka could have gone to any other team and we wouldnt be having this discussion, Stafford and McVeigh is the reason Puka became Puka.

[@slimsammich3862]

I literally hate D Bro. As a person, as an analyst….. awful. Please don’t bring him back.

[@nickkrueger6962]

A million people said they were at Woodstock, too lol

[@ivanlaureano9418]

Watch out for Jalen Coker mid season. If these Carolina wr get hurt or aren’t living up to hype I can see Coker doing damage

[@brotherleo4090]

I truly hope so

[@ZagWarrior]

Jerry Rice ran a 4.71

[@alaskaoutlaws855]

And Fitzgerald a 4.63

[@NMxCrazySkills]

Matt my take is Ladd is this years Puka. He goes to an Elite Qb in Herbert that people are underrating a bit after injuries and a down year. Goes to an offense that people think isn’t going to produce as much like they thought rams rebuilding. And he comes in and will be the wr 2 on the team right away. And has show the ability to be an elite route runner + run all routes. Only thing missing is an elite wr like Kupp to teach him to master his craft and take pressure off of him. What if Herbert gets back to form AND chargers throw just a little more than everyone thinks? Or he gets 135 targets because there isn’t any competition?

[@redflag40]

Ladd goes too early in redraft to be this year's Puka. He is already priced like Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers from last season.

[@NMxCrazySkills]

@@redflag40 true. Price wise doesn’t lineup. But situation is almost identical.

[@redflag40]

@@NMxCrazySkills Fair enough.

[@andrewg3196]

He's just kind of automatically ineligible since he's going pick 70 right now on UD

[@waxwars9183]

No one will be close to puka nacua from rookies. We got spoiled last year with cj stroud, laporta and puka. You won’t see all time rookie records every year.

[@Kam216d]

Casey Washington from the Falcons is the only correct answer

[@YouTalkSports]

Good takes but your missing a big reason for Puka’s success was having a great QB which Troy Franklin and New England don’t have

[@KevinHutchinson-cd5kt]

Your wrong bro. Kupps going off ! Healthy and a connection with Stafford you are underestimating! Watch!

[@clausweber7392]

The answer is so obvious. This years dark horse break out player has the name. He has the pedigree. All pro dad, all pro bro. Now he plays with a 1st round pick QB who won the Heisman Trophy…….Luke McCaffrey

[@parkerphelps5202]

I wish there was a better way to fast forward through the video to only listen to Matt’s input and skip all of DBro’s terrible “analysis.”

[@odinx13x44]

I’m a Vikings fan. When they drafted Jaren Hall I went out to look at some of his highlights. Outside of the Hall runs, it was basically a Puka highlight tape. That was the start of putting me on Puka.

[@TebowTime2513]

Go watch Jordan Travis highlights, kept seeing Keon Coleman lol

Javon Baker gives me George Pickens vibes

[@PayDay4Youtube]

The first time DBro is on and hopefully the last. How he even has a job in this industry blows my mind

[@brett4932]

Coker. Free, great routes, great hands, great college production and could easily win his way onto the field in a weak WR room where a clinical pass catcher is necessary for Bryce to turn the corner.

Javon Baker has been my favorite candidate for a Puka-esque emergence this season since the Big Board. Easily my most drafted receiver overall. Talm bout rugged, mans is a straight up D A W G.

[@MattKibblehouse]

I like taking Parker Washington, Casey Washington, Tahj Washington and Malik Washington with my last four picks. Feels patriotic.

[@linkonprime]

To those commenting "Ladd." Ladd was an early NFL draft pick. As such, he doesn’t qualify as a Puka-type prospect. The idea here is to find a day 3 NFL rookie that could have a big season.

[@MT-rg4dm]

Impossible a patriots wide receiver cannot flourish in this environment

[@TebowTime2513]

🤮 Claypool is the only "puka" last round wr that could be top 12. Have to wait for training camp.

[@brandonrob170]

@@jothelyon6469 Based on ADP he is a sleeper … he may very well put up the same numbers or close to Marvin Harrison Jr. who is being drafted 9 rounds before he is. It all depends on Ladd’s play time and opportunity.
