HOW DO YOU KNOW? | Identifying the Next Breakout WR1s (2024 Fantasy Football)

[@fantasypros]

Who is the next breakout WR1 you are most excited to draft this year? Let's hear it and if you agree or disagree with the guys. You can find all of our Expert Consensus wide receiver rankings here: www.fantasypros.com/nfl/rankings/half-point-ppr-wr-cheatsheets.php

[@gregthegoatostertag8579]

Speaking of Olave, he is just a prime example…the amount of infatuation with certain players gets so old. It takes like 3/4 years before the infatuation wears off. End of the day, olave is never going to be a wr1. Stop overrating him

[@apexfuzey5279]

Nico COLLINS, Jayden Reed, Marquis BROWN, George PICKENS

[@gregthegoatostertag8579]

@@apexfuzey5279 Nico is going to breakout to wr1 when diggs and mixon are added? 😂😂😂I wish I was in your league

[@apexfuzey5279]

@gregthegoatostertag8579 Diggs will be #2 and Tank will remain a #3, Stroud can push that if he keeps away from the TE and he doesn't have to pass to his RB, Mixon has his back up, I believe that backfield will be receiving even low # of intended passes.

FantasyPros last year list: -DeVonta Smith -Kadarious Toney -Rashod Bateman -Elijah Moore -Christian Watson -Garrett Wilson -Chris Olave -Treylon Burks -Drake London -Jahan Dotson Still love you guys! Going all-in this year on Pittman, London, Pickens and Hollywood (at their current value!)

[@brentinnes5151]

I had toney in all my leagues...his highlights show him as a total beast nobody better...his head aint right..what a waste of a human machine

[@manuelnoriega7163]

Nice, however I will not take it against them for the following: Watson (bad health) Wilson (horrible qb play) Olave (less than horrible but bad qb play) London (horrible coaching) Dotson (horrible qb play)

[@Whynotntn]

Reading these names from last year make me sick

[@Hajjiznbna]

Last year was probably my least favorite fantasy football season, even if it wasn’t my worst. So many injuries changed so many dynamics.

[@MattKuzie]

WOOF

[@CHopkins73]

Here's the thing: I like Dbro but he contradicts himself by saying that the Christian Watson injury label isn't really warranted and unnecessary but in the same video says "well you know how Hollywood Brown is. This guy has been injured the past couple of seasons" etc. Can't use the injury thing for one player and then not use it for another. C'mon y'all

[@gregthegoatostertag8579]

Confirmation bias at its finest

[@Whynotntn]

Another dbro callout comment another one i love 😂😂

[@MornAfterPill]

This picking and choosing of when injuries matter is soooo common with these content creators lol.

[@donttreadonme8831]

Is he the 40 yr old with his trucker hat backwards and the pop funko figures on his bookshelf?

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

You new here? DBro often speaks with his heart, not his head. He's full of contradictions. I keep hoping his grasp on both basic and next level stats will improve over the years, and I'm left wondering if ever will.

[@jp27whodey31]

I agree with London and Wilson. I just wish it wasn't so obvious so i could get em a little bit later.

[@CookDaddy29]

I love Nicco!!! He was my break out last yr!!! Where he is ranked I'll prolly get him again. I like Tank also easier to get. Not sure what to do with Diggs but Noah Brown was startable at times last also. Stroud is definitely a target him or Burrow if not Kyler Murry.

[@Red87star]

Thanks for the take on Olave. Likely to keep in the 8th > Tank Dell as last Rd in 12T .5ppr w keep cost up 1rd, no max years. (other 2 are Chase in 3rd & Achane in 10th)

[@cygone]

Is Christian Watson going to be able to stay on the field is a fair question. If the best ability is availability, Watson has never really ever demonstrated that.

[@CA_I]

He's too injury prone, they keep talking about trying to stop the hamstring injuries. He played more in his rookie season.

[@fantasypros]

@@CA_I There was an interesting report today about the work he's done with the University of Wisconsin to identify why he's been having these hamstring issues. They think they've solved the problem. -- www.fantasypros.com/nfl/news/447419/christian-watson-found-potential-fix-hamstring-issues.php

[@justinreed7345]

Hard not to give watson a chance when things are going right he's literally unstoppable so I'll be drafting him for the right price of course

[@Bdubya38]

🙏 Tank goes off. Have a lot of shares.

[@gregthegoatostertag8579]

He’s the deep ball threat in a 4 headed passing attack(he will be 4th in targets) and they have a rb who can catch. Tank will be a wr4 this year. Diggs going to get all the targets

[@NickJ-ru3ex]

​@@gregthegoatostertag8579 4th in targets? 😂😂 Damn I wish I was in your league!

[@julianmayo5650]

Tank Dell is #3 WR for his own team.... Hard to be top 12..... In entire NFL if that's the case... Stefon and Nico are clear #1 and #2

[@CookDaddy29]

I like Tank, I love Nicco though

I've played for longer than fantasypros existed. The collection of information is great. But you're gut decisions and a little but of luck won your championship sir. Congrats 🫡

[@Mazon24]

@DRDOOM62 damn a nice comment on YT. Thank you sir. Wishing you a great fantasy year! I did put in multiple hours listening to all kinds of info though....about to start up again to have the advantage.

[@Mazon24]

@DRDOOM62 Breece carried me hard with his end of the year games too lol

[@DRDOOM62]

@Mazon24 still salty about that. I lost to the breece hall team in my championship game... lamb had 50 too... we getting revenge this year though

[@voidofthought]

I moved Wilson for Olave and a 2nd and hoping I don't regret it. They feel pretty similar.

[@bosoxer4eva]

I like it.

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

Wilson and Olave are really good. We've not seen Aaron be good in a long time. We've not seen Carr be really good in a longer time. Both teams don't currently have their QB of tomorrow (unless you think Rattler can play). It's hard to feel good about either of these dudes. I'd personally have tried to go after someone like Waddle, or get even more draft capital and trade down for Higgins. I assume we're talking Dynasty btw. I don't hate your trade. Wilson is ranked too high, and Olave too low.

[@johnconner6846]

Imo Jsn is still one year away, Locketts cap hit next year is 30 mil for a 32 year old wr he’s getting cut for sure

[@brothaclutch]

I like Watson and Reed but I really believe Wicks is the guy that’s gonna be a go to. He’s a big time sleeper but he is something else. The last few weeks said a lot

[@fantasypros]

Plus Romeo Doubs and two solid TEs. They have a lot of mouths to feed in that offense.

[@johnconner6846]

Texans and bears are so deep on offense the only players I want are the QBs

[@ThatBigCactus]

Exactly. There will be one WR on each of those teams that is worth their ADP or more, but you have no idea who it will be. It’s like the Hawks with DK-Lockett-JSN last year, but even less clear because the Bears/Texans WRs are all closer in talent. At ADP, I’m not touching any of them.

BREAKING - Christian Watson's hamstring snapped the moment your segment started! 😂

[@BobbyDigital-p5f]

The homie Alfredo !

[@work4whatyouwant477]

Christian Watson gotta make me a believer. I can live with watching him thrive on another team, rather than me reaching for him to be average. The Packers are LOADED with talent. There’s great WRs on the field. He could go crazy and I’m ok with that

[@DHKer23]

I picked up my breakout in my SF dynasty league for 1 faab last year. His name was Puka 😂

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

Olave found the endzone on a 26-year pass. Grammarly not working well for your website fellas. Not pointing it out to be a price, but if my eyes caught it, others have too. Hopefully it's a quick fix.

[@charliec5449]

Chargers: I hear all of this running the ball stuff, but the last time I checked their RB room isn't that impressive.

[@Broseph1981]

Uh, how can Aaron Roger's be MORE than a year off his Achilles injury when it's not even preseason yet and his Achilles was torn in game 1 of the regular season?

[@lavarball719]

no dontayvion wicks mention 😴😴😴

[@vinniehugo9065]

As long as Carr is the QB there is no way Olave will be a WR1. Carr cannot throw well enough to Olave. Carr just don’t have the proper touch on the ball.

[@CA_I]

I'm hoping that Rattler might take over from Carr.

[@MornAfterPill]

In 2022 Davante Adams was WR3 overall, with Derek Carr lol. Hunter Renfrow a top 12 WR in PPR. Darren Waller top 3 TE 2 years in a row. He can support a WR1 under the right conditions.

[@vinniehugo9065]

@@MornAfterPill Carr played with Davante for years in college so they had a connection. Waller was running basic routes, was a big target and got a lot of YAC. Renfrow was a quick pass dump off target and also ran basic routes. Olave is a speedy receiver who requires accurate over and between defender throws to get going.

[@brentinnes5151]

Reeds highlights from last year is like he isa Toney with a brain..am very high But it sounds like they want to spread it to everybody...he is awesome but might not get enough ball..i think this is a ploy to make it hard for Ds..thats the scary thing about drafting him as an alpha

[@patwalsh1045]

you can miss me with christian watson. 25 yrs old already, he is literally the 4th wr i would wanna have on the packers. even at a discount he is an overpay

[@jasoncochran7354]

Begs to question. How long before you can't ask for no spoilers

[@DynastyTroll]

All that dude stats on Nico vs Tank when they played together are wrong wrong wrong... Nico outperformed Tank on every advanced metric

[@julianmayo5650]

Boys.... Simple maths..... Lamar Jackson record for pass yards is 3600 Flowers would need 33% of team receiving yards to barely get 1200 yards .... And with Andrews back, with 2 TEs on field and likely out there a lot... Plus the rest of their deep RECEIVING CLASS... I mean flowers will be lucky to have a great season because he has a QB who doesn't throw a lot .

[@charliec5449]

Ricky Pearsall: Not going to happen in 2024 unless one of Aiyuk or Deebo gets traded or hurt.

[@jayt27ynf]

Rodgers hasnt played in how long?? Coming off of injury?? Yea im not banking on him coming back strong. Fading him and wilson.

[@madmagician8663]

TLDR; They're in on all 2nd and 3rd year highly drafted wide receivers.

[@randybecht7440]

I want to believe in the talent of flowers but have the ravens EVER produced a wr1? Very run heavy team with new goal line stud in town in henry. Andrews still number 1 target. Lamar is so boom or bust in passing yardage. Flowers not a big red zone frame guy. I just cant trust ravens receivers.

Drake London has no break away ability. His YAC is historically low among WRs. I think he will have his best year but I will pass.

[@brandonanderson5842]

Reed is better than Watson lol.

[@gregthegoatostertag8579]

No, he’s not. Watson is faster, bigger, stronger and has better hands.

Two different roles. Is deebo better than Aiyuk?

I am not touching NOlave with a ten foot pole tbh. He’s tied to Derek “Crash” Carr🤮
