Neo Collins would be my first choice.

I already rank him in that tier this year.

I think he’s got the path to have the target share, the high-end targets, down the field layups as well.

I’m really excited we were talking about this today.

I’m really excited about him and Nick Kaley’s offence coming, coming over from the Rams.

They’re going to move him around more this year than previously.

Like people don’t give us enough credit.

That guy is out there playing old school ex-receiver basically every single snap.

So a lot more layups this year.

I think he’s going to another level this season.

Before he got hurt, he was leading the league in receiving yards.

He was the wide receiver 4 in fantasy points per game.

I think there’s definitely a chance that he is going to end up among the elite guys this year and could very well finish number one overall at the position.

Yeah, there’s another bold prediction that was all about Drake London and we saw the 3 games he had with Michael Pennix, what was the 26 catches, 38 targets.

I know two overtime games were in that, so it’s excuse it a little bit.

But remember when you’re taking these early receivers, you may find a usual receiver on waivers.

I, I know a couple of years ago Pua Nua went crazy as a waiver pick.

But normally your waiver picks in receiver are gonna be depth guys.

They’re not gonna be major move the needle guys.

So I love receiver.

A lot of my fantasy builds are gonna be hero RB that one running back, but 3 or 4 receivers I really want to hang my hat on.

Because it’s just not easy to find impact players like that in the second half of your draught or on the waiver wire.

Yeah, I mean, we had a lot of Nico there.

I’m gonna reiterate that Drake London love because like you said, Pettick is just gonna hyper target him.

I think even though Kyle Pitts is the golf buddy, I think that’s more in this, this offence, not really tight and heavy.

It’s just an offence that uses that as a different role, so I think Drake Mon’s gonna be a lock.

I, I’ve made jokes that he’s gonna come for Rob Moore’s 208 target record.

It also seemed like Zach Robinson really got comfortable with the play sheet late in the season.

They could do more with Bennick than Cousins.

So I think Zach Robinson, you don’t think about the coordinators sometimes.

I think he has a much better year too.
