I feel like everyone doesn't highlight the fact JSN missed preseason with wrist surgery and wore a brace for the first 5 games before the bye. That's a huge deal for a rookie. After the bye he averaged over 10 points a game and he had multiple big plays called back on flags.

[@robbygreenan5201]

Anyone who thinks QJ is going to be a top WR this year, needs to go back and watch the tape. I’m a Charger fan. That dude is brutal. He has the butteriest hands I’ve ever seen.

[@brocksolomon8953]

No only that but according to Matt Harmon who charts receivers he had a historically bad season at getting open 😂

[@Merten5]

Biggest thing about the coaching staff change is they will be in 3 WR sets a heck of a lot more. That's why JSN will get kore targets.

[@Thoughtpologetics]

Fun fact… even if you extrapolate Anthony Richardsons numbers to 759yars, 3 TDs, 1 INT and 59.5% completion… Bryce young has a very similar first 4 games… 750 yards-5TDs-4INTs and 66.1% completion… So what does that say about Richardson? Who has also sat all year and not practiced due to an injury on his throwing shoulder… why is everyone just all in on him? He’s a Daniel Jones that runs better

[@broadnerdmike6450]

Because Richardson ran for 30 yds a game and over 1 rushing TD per game. In fantasy that is an enormous difference.

[@Thoughtpologetics]

@@broadnerdmike6450 he’s a great RB I agree… but below average QB… that’s why I’m staying away from Pitman… and on top of that he hurt his throwing shoulder and didn’t practice the rest of the year You can’t improve much without those team reps

[@andrewhayes8017]

unbiased seahawks fan here but J$N should be a lot better this year. it would surprise me if he cracked the top 16 WRs but with this new coaching staff they seem to be in love with our offense.

Metcalf and Lockett make the pick too risky IMO, JSN could surpass Lockett but not sure it’s worth the risk

Not a fan of Lockett and DK being there too, but I do have faith in JSN. Might just be too high on the adp for me honestly.

I love the video. Was very entertaining. I tend myself draft WR a lot around the JSN range of the draft where he's going next to Addison and Odunze and Xavier Worthy. Montgomery and Kamara are going rounds ahead of them on FFPC

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

Something to also consider with Seattle is the presence of Sam Howell. I don't believe that unless we see an incredible change out of of Geno (I don't think we will) that halfway through the year he's benched. I don't think the Hawks end up being very good this year, and as such I think JSN will likely suffer for being on a bad team. I also think there are sweeping changes to the team next year. I'm more interested in JSN next season when hopefully Seattle gets its shit together. DK has never put all the pieces together, and I think we'll think of him as kinda a Dez Bryant kinda guy except not as good. Athletic freak who never learned good route running or concentration. All of this is to say, JSN will not be on any of my teams this year. Next year I think he could have a Nico Collins kind of revival.

[@nbaplaya8484]

Idk why but I just really like JSN (more for dynasty than redraft), I feel like the consensus is kind of low on him but they are ignoring the obvious obstacles which you even touched on in the video. Injury coming into the year, having pure vets in front of him on depth chart but whenever he was given opportunities he looked good including that game winning catch against the eagles I just think he’s getting written off a bit too early

[@Kaso122]

I started Aj brown and Nico Collins, don’t know if I should go Nabers or DJ Moore.

[@roshan2865]

Moore is competing with Odunze and Keenan. Go with Nabers

To be fair to JSN, although Lockett is still there, he's going to be 32 in September, and is coming off his worst seasons since becoming a full time starter. I've always been low on Tyler Lockett for some reason and tend to be wrong about him, but there's gotta be a chance JSN tales over that role.

Hey Mason! New viewer here. I like the statistical standpoint you bring, but in my opinion, feel free to correct me, but from a statistical standpoint there’s much to be done for the Bryce young data. First of all the population size is too small, according to large counts condition which we do n(1-p) and n(p), both should be

[@adamtlr]

I love your channel and watch all your videos. BUT I think you’re missing an important aspect of your analysis, and it causes you to miss on players like Kyren, Puka, Pacheco, to name a few. Gotta start paying attention to each team’s news out of OTA and camp. Puka was KILLING it all off season last year. I’m not a Rams fan, I just google every team “OTA standout” or “chemistry with ___ QB”. I think stellar reports in practice should outweigh your athleticism metrics. Anyway, I always look forward to your videos and hope all of the Flock finds continued success in fantasy!
