[@bradymiller8128]

Agree on Diggs and Pitts. I think the concerns for JSN, Addison and Jones are already baked into the ADP (imo)

[@hakaveli72]

My thoughts exactly. You can get those guys as your WR4 in most instances.

[@qazzaqstan]

Addison is still a bit rough for me, not so much that I can't justify him being a top 40 WR (I probably have him just outside of that, but WR39 definitely feels reasonable even it is not exactly where I'd rank him) but I feel like WRs are so pushed up this year that I want him basically a full round after he is going. It is the WR range I'd expect to be competing with deadzone RBs (like Harris White etc) but all the prototypical deadline backs have just been pushed down 2+ rounds and now it feels like there is a large portion of rounds 4-6 where WRs are kind of nasty.

[@jhart2838]

I'm in a loud place but I'm definitely circling back for JSN that caught my eye

[@VinceNobert]

Great content. Please do a video on overall sort of macro strategy. I see you recommend a lot of guys who are the wr3 on their own team…..as a rule I avoid that situation. How do you weigh that vs a wr1 or 2 in a crappier offence?

[@calvinwood7120]

JSN spent half the season getting nothing but screens that made me want to gouge my eyes out… Lockett will be good and go down when catching the ball which is the big reason that I think the role will fall to him to be the guy catching the ball in space

[@guyers6247]

I couldnt agree more with all 5 of these picks, nice job on this list. Diggs is #1 for me just to many other good weapons on the team.

[@timh4560]

and this is why i started watching you.

[@countrybumkiniii9003]

20 teams with 0 shares of Diggs & Addison and only a few with Jones and a couple with Pitts & JSN. Kirk is probably my most rostered WR with Z White or Moss/Brown my most rostered RBs. Richardson & Murray QBs & Kincaid most rostered TE with McBride a close second.

[@Delmiester]

Zero teams with either of them? Not a good plan. Only dude you should have zero percent of is Chubb because he’s not playing anything significant this season.

[@richierich4330]

If you're doing alot of drafts it wouldn't hurt to get them a few times. I've faded diggs all off-season but I snatched him a handful of times so far. I've done about 30 underdog drafts so far. Dionte Johnson is my most rostered receiver so far

[@ryanspencer2402]

😂😂 I love anyone taking richardson early

[@deRoyLight]

JSN's "yards per route run, yards per target, yards per reception, yards per team pass attempt" is all explained by the same thing. His deployment was extremely slanted toward screens -- league most, actually. You can check his PFF grades that break down his performance by depth of target, and he actually slams in the intermediate and deep area of the field. He just didn't get used much. The difference this year is, they specifically got a coordinator that uses three receivers and gets them down the field. He was miscast badly last year, seemingly being plugged into the previous OC's system instead of catering the system to his skillset. JSN is not a "throw him a screen let him make defenders miss" guy, that's not his profile, no one ever projected that as his profile, but that's how he was used.

[@jakez199456]

NGL as a Vikings fan Aaron Jones and Addison scare me for fantasy as well, but IMO these would be good late round pickups to have on the bench and see how the offense progresses. I love what KOC is doing and Kwesi has been COOKING for us so far. Plus if Darnold can even play at 75% of Kirk then we'll be okay. With that said, Darnold's situation in NY and Carolina was well bad to say the least. Addison coming into year 2 I still feel like can contribute in a high fashion (especially if Jets can stay healthy). Plus Hock will be out the first 4 weeks or so if I had to guess (4-6) and yeah. But again we'll see. Love the vids

[@clubbonfireproductions4694]

I agree 100% with these 5! Without a doubt!!

[@ChadTheCarnivoreRealtor]

I think your emotions as a Falcons fan skews your view some. Bijan Robinson had a really good rookie year and London advanced numbers look good and Any rookie Tight end that had 900 yards as a rookie in 16 games would shoot up boards. That being said your change and takes as a whole are some of the best

[@gmunygd7899]

The only time I’ve taken digs is when there was a early quarterback run in the third, so I got him at the top of the fourth, but I agree it’s a risk

[@mikementzerismydaddy]

Finally someone agrees with me on Pitts. I hate the regurgitated “Pitts led rookie TEs all time in yards”. Just watching him play you can tell he needs to refine his route running

[@SlimHx]

i been taking diggs early ngl

[@makowakeo]

Trust me you do not want Diggs. Go take a look at his game log last season on a rather empty Bills offense.

[@YouTalkSports]

Good to hear these takes

[@BDGEFantasyFootball]

good to see u here

[@joeraguso5376]

I actually agree with you on all 5 of these guys

[@Principal_Meyers]

how comfortable are you with James Cook as my RB1 in a PPR league if I draft WR/WR first couple rounds

[@TheSentry603]

why lock yourself into positions like that beforehand? Also James Cooks stinks

[@BDGEFantasyFootball]

fine with it, he's in for a great year

[@charlesbarr8783]

You just made the argument why Pitts will be at a minimum good and potentially very good.

[@BDGEFantasyFootball]

i made the arguments for both sides and what makes me nervous, which is exactly what i said i would do

[@Jokenword]

I’m a falcons fan too. . . I am more optimistic on Pitts than Drake London.. Year 4 TEs breakout & he is still very young.

[@jameshil8661]

Nick you gotta rewatch your aaron jones take and tell me you don't wanna draft him in round 6 or 7 again. You made a case FOR him

[@jrico3051]

Aaron Jones has a special place on my fantasy shit list. Dude pretty much took last season off when i needed him then blew up in the playoffs when it was too late smh

[@teegee289]

Dude I just woke up from watching my oilers playoff run..... Aaron Jones plays for the Vikings??? Whooooaaaa I feel like spicoli or Bill and Ted here 🤯🫨😯

[@levigrudzinski6453]

Pitts only had 8 yards in the season finale so he actually did have 1K yards in 16 games.

[@matthook5967]

I dont get the jones hesitation at all, RB19 allready bakes in the risk Jones has never been the workhorse and always been in a time share and still produced The Vikings thought so much of Ty Chandler that they traded for a washed Cam Akers mid season when Mattison wasnt producing The Vikings immediatly signed jones after he was released, like 10 minutes after he was realeased I get Chandler had a nice run to end the year, Jones was absolutley on fire to end the year, including playoffs

[@codythegoat8486]

I think jones has the chance to have a bounce back adjacent season if he can stay healthy.. Vikings have a good Oline.. they have the receiving options to take the pressure off of Jones. You have to remember last year they had Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler as there starting RBs.. Jones is sooooo much of a better talent than either of them..

[@ricktcraig]

GMBG makes me feel super comfy. Drafting Adams at ADP makes me uncomfortable.

[@cameronzwicke5761]

No matter the qb he's gonna give you 1000 yards and 8ish tds. Hell if he can get 1600 yards with Jimmy G, he will do well with Aiden after a full season.

[@zackrenard8390]

Pitts missed time with a hammy at the end of his rookie year

[@Alpha-bt9bh]

Agree with everything outside of the Pitts take

[@robbyralph]

Had to get you off the “666” likes. I got you, big girl

[@travisbalentine1935]

Bro why is Kyle Pitts on this list man? Come on bro , help me help you. Let me steady those hands of yours when Kyle Pitts comes around your draft the top of adp, just by stating the only 2 facts you need to know. 1 you say we haven't seen a ceiling or atleast seen what Kyle Pitts is capable of, his rookie year 1,026 yards. 2 what has pretty much all of Kirk Cousins tight ends done, Ball out🤷‍♂️ . And just for bonus work, Kirk Cousins is one of the few QBs that can Sustain feeding three mouths for high states, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Kyle pitts.

[@robdowns9339]

5 for 5 in agreement.

[@FPFOdylanrice]

Diggs has been going 34 and I feel like that’s good value

[@cameronzwicke5761]

He fell off in the last half of the season, he's getting old, plus he's a diva. He's not going to be close to worth a 3rd round pick.

[@hone_n_bone24]

Would you draft Tyler Boyd at 34? Because he's about the same in pecking order in his offense as Diggs is

[@FPFOdylanrice]

@@hone_n_bone24 were talking about one of the top 10 WRs in the league. He’s better than both Tank and Collins

[@goatdaddy5046]

Last year before the season I saw a video that he said to grab puka , I went to grab him then thought “zero chance this guy helps “ . With that regret , I listen closely to what this guy has to say . I also made a point to grab puka in a league I play in called prick Ercolano😂 Might trade pitts now lol

[@goatdaddy5046]

Also most of these guys wouldn’t stfu if they secretly told there dog to grab puka before the season . Haven’t really heard him brag about it myself

I don't know why you refuse to stop going to high school parties.

[@prestonvarner611]

[@Steve-td5xu]

First 2 yes last 3 no pitts should mature with cousins and Jones in the same division should be solid if staying healthy Addison will be fine don't dismiss darnalds ability to make it happen he may be quietly be playing with a chip on his shoulder

[@QuickHittinEm]

Nick , break down Russ and captain Kirk's stats, I don't know how Kirk is spoken so highly of and Russ is talked about like a scrub, I don't get it.

[@BDGEFantasyFootball]

rus's number were built on the back of low production but high TD numbers

[@breydantilley127]

I think pitts is going nuclear this year

[@Bishop_Stick]

I agree with most of these takes, but I don't see a world where Kirk Cousins does not make Kyle Pitts and Drake London relevant. It is clear to me that Desmond Ridder was terrible and held back this offense. Kirk is a proven solid pocket passer that will provide some fantasy value to this offense, even if the weapons are average in talent, which they are not. Kyle Pitts Player Profiler metrics are fantastic. I do not have a reception perception membership but I am curious to see how it looks.... At the end of the day it doesn't matter Trey McBride season baby.

[@BDGEFantasyFootball]

i didn't say they were going to be irrelevant

Great content man! Could you guys do a couple videos on draft strategy? For instance, I hear you recommend a lot of WRs who are the WR3 on their respective teams…..as a rule in 12 team leagues I avoid anyone who is the third target on their teams. Make the argument for picking a guy like that in a 12 team league

[@coop8849]

Pitts is salvageable but this is it. But I do think Arthur Smith is 1 of the worst OC to HC hires in 20 years he literally got his job from Derrick Henry! watch him do worse then matt Canada this year Steeler fans. Greenbay didn't have the best WR in the draft and Addison who yes was your next but i had Addison and he took over for Jefferson almost as good fantasy wise so Jones could explode or he's an injury threat.

[@sharpshooter-ny5vh]

I don’t agree with Pitts he’s gonna have a very nice year him and London have been getting the shaft with terrible qb play it’ll be a night and day difference with cousins throwing the ball and even if cousins does get hurt penix is more than capable

[@dispatcher7b]

How could you hate on JSN when we’re currently drafting him at his Floor?! Very rare bad take…bad nonetheless

[@BDGEFantasyFootball]

​@@devinfusella150 not when the qb is highly efficient, and the wrs are only getting 100 targets each, when Diggs has always required 150+ targets to get the production of a second round pick. Nico and Tank had 109 and 75 targets respectively last season, Diggs production will drop tremendously if he's getting 70 less targets.
