Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ladies and gentlemen, you want experience during your football season?
Buckle up, sweet cheeks.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
That's all we need!
Speaker 1 (00:09):
We've got all the experience in the world.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This is I Want Your Flex.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
With Dan Beyer and Mike Harmon. Mike and Dan break
down everything you need to set your lineups. From position
rankings to starts and sits, the guys help you make
those hard decisions. And now, let's get your flex on.
Here's Dan Beyer and Mike Harmon. The wide receiver position.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That's where we focus on our preseason edition of I
Want Your Flex, at least this episode anyway. Find Mike
at Swollen Dome. You can find me at Dan Byer
on Fox. Some big-time names atop the fantasy rankings, Mike,
when it comes to those wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it's been the usual suspects year after year. You
want to talk about consistency? How about the fact in
half PPR leagues, Amon Ross St. Brown has finished third
three straight years.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Then, okay, so... If we got three for three.
Do we do four for three? Is he going to do, man,
that's consistency. That is consistency.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's pretty crazy, right? The other guys, we add in
some injuries, some concerns, right? We have the Jamar Chase
video that still the human body bewilders me that that
wasn't a serious knee injury. For those that saw that
video during training camp, he's like, I'm fine. All right,
we'll keep an eye on that. You got the Puka Nakua.
Will he face disciplinary action? a disciplinary hearing from the NFL?
(01:37):
Will he miss time? We don't know during this draft season,
so how much do you account for that? JSN's been
fantastic in his rise the last two years as you've
reaped the benefits, but there's one guy that We all
would argue from talent perspective, he's a top three guy. Unfortunately,
the trigger man, some health issues of his own, have
(01:59):
left him in the off. Offing in deep recesses when
we talk about Justin Jefferson, 25th, 2nd, and 29th the
last three years. So a little bit of upheaval, some
new names, and maybe some redemption stories here for 26.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
In the drafts that I've taken part in, Puka is
the one that's taken the hit again because of the
unknown and the possibility of missing games. If you can
navigate that, that's great. If Puka misses four games, you
win one of them, you're fine. As long as you
don't go 0-4, go 1-3, you can come back from 1-3.
(02:35):
But that's the question. Is it going to be four games?
Is it going to be two? Could it be six?
Could it be seven? And that ends up affecting on
where you're going to select Puka Nakua So to me, Mike,
the toss-up, and I don't know your rankings, and you're
about to unveil them, it's got to either be Chase
or JSN at number one.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, I've got Chase just a slight tick above. But
you know what? I could be argued, I think, pretty
easily because you know my concerns about whether Joe Burrow
is able to stay healthy. And while I may be
the leader of the Joe Flacco is elite club, you know,
there's still certainly some concerns there. The offensive line, how
good the defense is. Well, that allows you to keep
(03:15):
winging the ball down the field. So there'll be no issues.
operation shut down in fourth quarters but with with jsn
we talk about post super bowl runs extra games all
of those things is there a little bit of shift
in philosophy uh in terms of getting him and feeding
him the ball regularly i think you know in your
half ppr and full pprs uh you're not you're not
(03:38):
worried about some ridiculous downturn by any stretch of the
imagination it's just a matter of splitting hairs up at.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The top I am curious on there is going to
be a regression on JSN. I just wonder, Mike, it's
not as much about the yards. It's what's it going
to be with the touchdowns. Sure. Because he did hit
double digit touchdowns last year. It's a guy who had
over 160 targets, 119 receptions on the season. But Seattle
does have options in that red zone. We know A.J.
(04:07):
Barner is an option for them. Cooper Cup is as well.
Not saying that the other teams don't. However, I think
that JSN, in his regression of where it is, maybe
only has 1,500 yards or 1,400 yards. But if you
still get the 10 touchdowns, That's pretty important. If it
gets down to six or seven, I think you're going
(04:29):
to be feeling that hit from taking him early.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No question about it. Now, in the running back episode,
we did the dive of what it looks like in
terms of your drop off. All right. Here's W.R. one
to W.R. twelve from last year. Seven point five points
per game. That's Puka Nakua down to T. Higgins. At
your WR2 slots, so WR13 through 24, you go, it's
(04:56):
a 1.2 difference. Likewise, WR3, it's about the same, about
1.22 points per game separate the 25th receiver from the 36th.
So it's really about getting that first wide receiver right.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I also think that when you talk about the four
names of JSN, Chase, Puka, and Amon Ross St. Brown,
that there is a different level of their success than
the others. Like that next year when we talk about
running backs, it's like, yeah, there are questions, but you
feel like you're going to be getting a pretty good guy.
You feel good writing that name down in the RB1 spots.
(05:37):
Justin Jefferson was a first overall pick just a couple
of years ago. You mentioned his quarterback situation last year
and how that could play into this year, but he's
not at the top anymore. Drake London's quarterback situation, something
we also talked about when it came to Bijan Robinson
in our running back episode. There's going to be a
question in Atlanta. That next group of guys, Mike, just
(05:58):
makes me worry. And this number here, I think it
could be even bigger when we analyze these numbers next year.
because of how valuable I think the top guys are,
as opposed to even just the next tier of wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And that's exactly it, right? Where's that drop off? How
does it settle? How many teams are utilizing 1 and
1A versus having a true, as my guy Greg Cosell
would say, boundary X guy, right? That you could go
and get it to out on the edges and know
that putting the ball in their area, they're going to
go find it, right? How many of those guys are
(06:32):
there really? so it's that curious uh separation between those
first few and you know for puka nikua he's just
really such a wild card in this final week of
of coming up on the draft that we don't have
a decision so you really have to push all in
if you want him uh and then make sure you're
(06:52):
circling back as fast as you can to shore up
that receiving core.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Let's get to your top five wide receivers entering your
drafts you said you had jamar chase one and jsn2
i believe who runs out the top five.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We've got CeeDee Lamb coming in three as the greatest
offense there is. I really need to have that shirt
for what Dallas can do. I think they'll help by
the upgrades on the defensive side, so better operation and
better efficiency for Dak Prescott and company to be among
the league's best. Amon Ross ain't brown. I can't dip
(07:25):
him too far with that level of consistency. Love the
Detroit weaponry that's around there. Curious to see how– The
game is called, and certainly for red zone opportunities like
we talked about with JSN, Dan, it's kind of that
same question. Do you still have some sit-down opportunities where
he's the target, or will you see... If he's healthy,
(07:48):
Laporta take a bigger step there. What we do know
is there's no David Montgomery anymore, so maybe that opens
things up as well. And then I've got Puka still
at number five, and I have him there in red
pen as a I don't know, and it hurts my
eyes to see it there. I mean, we talk about
the player he is. I'm reading all these reports out
(08:09):
of camp. He's slimmed down. They're working him deeper down
the field, so maybe saving his body from the— you know,
free safety coming over the top like they've been able
to do, working him over the middle. One of the
things we love about watching him play, but also the, hey,
you need him there if you're making that run in January.
So how do you preserve him along the way? But
(08:31):
not knowing whether we get a suspension, a two-weeker, as
you said, all the way towards half season leaves me
concerned here, which is I've got him at five, but Again,
it's one of those that the pendulum could swing either
way pretty fast.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But I think it's also just because of the guys
that are below him, though. And that's where we talk
about this separation. And you're high on CeeDee Lamb, so
maybe you want to say it's a top five. I
said it was a top four earlier, but we can
include Lamb in it. But I think it's more because
Nakua's in this spot because it fits. Where if he
(09:07):
does just miss a minimal amount of games... this is
good value in that spot. But by no means are
you ready to put Justin Jefferson or Drake London, you know,
those guys ahead of him because of the questions that
they face. So I think it's a keen spot. He
went in our long-term league. Yeah, Puka ended up going
(09:31):
fourth because Amon Ra went right before him and JSN
and Chase were earlier in the draft. But Puka ended
up dropping to four in the in our draft because
of that and that's and that was about a little
more than a week ago mike so we're talking about
you know around august 22nd i believe our draft was
where there seemed to be maybe a little bit more
about puka's future and the i mean he's battled some
(09:54):
injuries as well during camp but i also think with
the rams i'll throw this out there and then we
can move on from the top five but this is
a team that now wants to win the Super Bowl
obviously Aaron Donald's coming back but if Puka did miss
a couple of games I don't know if they're crushed
by it you know what I mean like so so
in that aspect of like working him back in slowly
(10:14):
I think that's why we see so much Blake Corum
because of this team is going to want to have
bigger fish to fry in the playoffs. So if you
had to sit out Puka for whatever penalty it was,
I don't think the Rams would necessarily be mad about it.
And I also don't think you're going to see the
explosion of the big plays in some of these games. Honestly,
(10:34):
they could be winning by 20, 25 points because of
how good we think the squad could be.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And that is it, right? If it plays to form. Now,
I haven't done the look-see at their schedule with the
point spreads attached. But to that point, if they are
that good, How many of those fourth quarters are, all right,
tuck it into Corum and whoever we've got as a
third running back, into their gut, run, clock, let our
defense go play a little bit with a big lead
and just get out of town?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And making sure that Matthew Stafford is in one piece.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That's right. That's it, right? An awful lot of Ty
Simpson at the end of games, I think.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let's get to the six through ten. I'm curious. I
think there are a lot of familiar names at this point. Mike,
I actually think there's about seven names for five spots
in this range, and I'm curious on who you got
where in six through ten.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Let's see how many we hit on, huh? Devontae Smith
coming in at number six as your number one there
in Philadelphia. Still some concerns, I think, as we listen
and see all the stuff coming out of Eagles camp,
but a number one talent with that opportunity. A guy
I love a lot, Chris Alave. I think he's a
(11:45):
top-notch receiver. We obviously know health becoming a question and
the fact that his number two, Mr. Tyson, drafted this
year isn't available just yet coming off a big hamstring injury,
but something to watch as we go. Number eight, Ladd McConkie.
There's no Keenan Allen here to take targets away. I
think Mike McDaniel is able to scheme him up and
(12:07):
get him loose. The fact that you can uncork the
deep ball, at least while Quentin Johnston is healthy. See,
I don't want to drag guys, but I have to
because it opens up the field and lets McConkie go
to work over the middle. That's where we get then
to a couple of guys. And this is where I
start doing my hand wringing a little bit, Dan, where
we get to Drake London and A.J. Brown. George Pickens,
(12:30):
the aforementioned Justin Jefferson. That's how we'd rank them next.
And then the guy that's on the outside of WR1
just knocking on the door is Nico Collins.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Okay, so let me get this straight. So you got
Drake London, 9. And then at 10? A.J.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Brown.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
At 10 is A.J. Brown, okay. And 11, we've got... We're.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Going back to Dallas with George Pickens.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
George Pickens. All right. And then 12 was... OK, Justin Jefferson.
There it is. Nine through 12 on the list. And
you did throw me a curveball with the Devante Smith
and Ladd McConkie higher on them. Then I think I've
seen others have those two ranked.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I'm looking at it from a you know, when
we were talking about just quarterbacks, decision making and opportunities here. Look,
I know there's a lot on what we have in
Philadelphia with Jalen Hurts. The guy delivers, right? It may
not be the way you want. It may not be
as consistent, and there may be some throws that everybody
(13:33):
has an armchair quarterback, and you and I doing it
as we do on the radio, Dan, where it's like,
all right, well, that wasn't the best, but the numbers
are there, right? The performance ends up being there. With McConkie,
I think it's the same thing. There's no Keenan Allen here.
to take targets away this time around I'm expecting the
offense to be a a better more efficient operation we
(13:56):
talked about Hampton in the last episode and getting that
run game started and I think McConkie's a guy that
could be a hundred catch receiver now obviously we're talking
about health and consistency there for and a lot of
it with Justin Herbert not taking 66 sacks say 20
of those are dump offs to his running backs or
Ladd McConkie on a quick hitch away we go but
(14:19):
yeah it's I'm looking at that more for the what
I'm expecting out of their offenses and more trust of
their quarterback situation than I think I mean obviously what
we have in Atlanta we love Drake London as a
talent there's no question about it are they going to
be able to feed him the football.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah I don't know at least as much as they
did last year right you know that's and that's kind
of what you're what you're hoping for, at least for
the baseline. So there it is, Mike Harmon's top 12
wide receivers for the upcoming season. We now dig a
little deeper. Some familiar names still available on the board.
What's going to happen with Malik Neighbors and Jackson Dart
in New York? Plus, Jalen Waddle's got a new home
(14:59):
in Denver. Can he possibly move up to some of
the names that we'll touch on next? He's Mike Harmon.
I'm Dan Baier talking wideouts here on I Want Your Flex.
Welcome back. All right, Mike, let's get to the other
side of the wide receiver dozen, the 13 through 20,
if you will, wide receivers that you have ranked entering
this upcoming season.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, quick, I got to recap. I mean, you had
seven for five guys. How many did I miss on?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's right. So it was, I didn't have Ladd and
I didn't have Devante Smith. So those were the two
that were, that I had on the outside looking in.
So Nico Collins was, was one, and I had Malik Neighbors,
who I mentioned in the tease, as possibly, I thought,
in the top 12.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
How about that? So those were the next two. Okay,
all right, perfect. So they lead the WR2, followed by
Jalen Waddell, who I think could greatly outperform. Once upon
a time, a 100-catch guy, and that was with Tua
Tungavailoa throwing him the football. Think about what could happen
if things actually work right, and you know I've got
to believe in it if I'm praising Sean Payton. So
(16:07):
we got that DJ Moore out in Buffalo at number
16 flowers coming in at 17. And then we get
to T Higgins and then two guys that, again, based
on one, his own issues and health, the other just, well, jets, uh,
Rasheed rice and Garrett Wilson round out the top 20.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Here's my issue with Rasheed rice is that I don't
think he's the big play guy. I think that Rasheed
Rice is nice maybe in a full PPR format. I
think there'll be red zone opportunities, something we talked a
little bit about in our running back episode as well
when we talked about Kenneth Walker and the Chiefs. But
I don't think he's the guy that's going to give
(16:49):
you a 48-yard catch, 27-yard catch. He's going to give
you eight. He's going to give you 13. And if
you're in a half-pointer in a standard league, he's not
as valuable as– at least last year in coming back
from his troubles. That's my question about Rasheed Rice.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We'll see some pop, maybe more from Taequann Thornton, who
performed well in spots. They still have Xavier Worthy there.
Cyrus Allen, a guy that's turning some heads in the preseason.
So maybe one of those later round sleepers to see
what kind of role he carves out in BNME and
Andy Reid's offense.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
What about Baltimore? I mean, you had Jay Flowers in
that 17, I believe, in your rankings. When you have
Declan Doyle coming over, I know you're familiar.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Bears.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah. The big contract threw me off for Zay Flowers.
I'm not the believer in fantasy production from the Ravens
wide receiver, but you have them at 17. What do
you like or don't like?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, when we're doing the full season, I think it's
more the compilation effect of Uh, in terms of week
to week, I think he's going to be maddening. And
I think I agree with you a hundred percent there, right?
Cause you're talking about Derek Henry, uh, siphoning off a
bunch of your, your rushing efforts around the goal line.
You're talking about Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, who's still there.
(18:08):
You lose Isaiah likely. So that opens up some targets
and some opportunities. Got to keep that offensive line healthy.
They have three new parts all on the interior. So
that'll be a curiosity with Ronnie Stanley. Always a question
of whether he's going to be upright. But for Lamar
Jackson working downfield, I think that short and intermediate game
takes a little bit of a pop. So from a
(18:29):
PPR half PPR perspective, I think Flowers reception total might
might take a little bit of a boost, even if
the the yards per catcher down is and certainly the
red zone, always a question in Baltimore. But just looking
at him from the slow and steady wins the race
as a WR2. We're not going to have a lot
of low floors, and maybe occasionally you get one or
(18:53):
two big pops.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Devontae Adams was buoyed by the touchdowns last season, not
in your top 20. Where do you have someone like
Devontae Adams going again as we Talked about Puka's role
in the Rams' offense. What about someone like Devontae Adams?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Currently back in WR2. I've got him at 24th. He's
just ahead of Jamison Williams, and I think it would
be argued pretty easily to go for the big pop
with Williams. But again, that's the question of are you
going to get more consistent efforts out of him? Because
we watched it last year, you and I chronicling this
for the I Want Your Flex show. community out there
(19:32):
of uh boy he was maddening because it would be
a huge it's like quentin johnston and with the chargers
right you'd have one or two big games with big
receptions and he'd get one of those big hits early
it's like all right we're gonna have one of those
games and then the next week he's not really involved
at all so that's my only four when it comes
to him but for Demonte Adams I gotta think there's
(19:52):
a bit of a regression on that touchdown dominance.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I like Jamison Williams as well this year I also
just don't think that the Lions they haven't been able
really in the last couple of years to show they
can really stop anyone and I think there's going to
be more of an opportunity plus he topped 100 1100
yards last season and For them, I think there could
be more big plays if you can keep Jared Goff
on the field. So the offensive line maybe hasn't been
(20:16):
as good as the other years. Some turnover starting to
occur there. But I think that's something to watch in Detroit.
But I agree with you wholeheartedly. I like Jamison Williams,
and I definitely like him above Devontae Adams.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
A couple slots lower, that's where we get into the
division of what the commanders could be. Terry McLaurin coming
in at 27th, but we saw him a couple of
years ago be one of the top 10 performers in
the game. Potential for huge upside if it breaks right.
Likewise in Jacksonville, Brian Thomas had a miserable 2025 season.
(20:49):
Did he find the stickum? Did he get the stickum
I sent him? I don't know. If so, then maybe
he can regain his form for Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
That's the interesting thing, because I think a lot of
people are really high on Parker Washington. And is it
one or the other in Jacksonville? Because that's how I
view it. I think like if you're banking on Parker
Washington being your first Jaguar wide receiver, then you're thinking
that Brian Thomas the first year was a fluke. And
then it's vice versa the other way. Where do you
(21:18):
land on the Jaguar receivers?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I have Parker Washington about seven slots higher than Thomas.
Probably still a little higher on both than the average consensus.
I haven't done a lot of the scouring of the
trending the last couple of days as so many drafts
have been input. But, yeah, I would say we'll look
at Washington with a little bit of juice based on
(21:41):
the trust factor. I think Thomas needs to earn it again.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
What about your Bears? Okay, and I say this in
this way. I had the opportunity to draft both Roma
Dunze or Luther Burden. And I just it's not that
I didn't believe the hype in Luther Burden. I think
people are sleeping on Roma Dunze. Where do you land
with the Windy City pass catchers?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I think you're going to have a couple of big
hits from Luther Burden. And there's going to be a
couple of those. Oh, my goodness. Moments that are going
to make people wag, wag their tongues. But I think
Dunze is going to be the more consistent option for
you this year. I think I agree with you 100%.
I think from a full, you know, the old route
tree and everything that you need, you're going to get
(22:25):
that from a dunce. I think Burden's going to be
a lot more, and we saw it last year, a
lot of Williams' bailout guy as the big guy can
go make a play.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I think that people forget how good Roma Dunce was
in the first part of last year. Like, the numbers
end up all because of injuries and like him, DJ Moore,
and Burden, they all somewhere in the same ballpark, if
you will. But I think we forget on what Adunze
did early on in the year.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, it kind of got morphed down the stretch, right?
And it became less about who was catching the ball
and just more about the circumstance.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So I think it's going back game by game and going, oh, actually,
that was the guy that caught it. And I think
that was the case in Chicago, too. I mean, it
was just so ridiculous. that it was all about number 13,
that it's like, no, no, no, let's actually go back
and break down what these guys did in the receiving department.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Okay, I got two more scenarios for you. Never in
a world did I think that Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Michael Wilson would be neck and neck in terms of rankings,
but Jacoby Brissett sure liked Michael Wilson. We know that
Marvin Harrison Jr. maybe hasn't necessarily lived up to his expectations.
We also have Trey McBride in that offense, but you
take the two Cardinals wide receivers away, What's the gap
(23:37):
between Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Wilson, for me, minus maybe nine spots down to Harrison.
Maybe near to a full wide receiver tier.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Okay. Wait, so you have Wilson higher than— I do. Oh, wow. Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Now, you know, with Jacoby Brissett, we'll see how that
plays out, and eventually, I guess, to Carson Beck, depending
on when that transition happens, because I fully expect Brissette
to be wearing another, uh, decal on his helmet. Sure.
By mid season based on, uh, ineffectiveness or, uh, injury
that they'll say, all right, you know, you're a veteran.
(24:14):
Come and play for us. The Cardinals are playing for nothing.
So we'll see that. But I think there's just the trust. Harrison, obviously,
with a world of potential. And we saw it on
display last year. There were a couple of big routes
that he made, and then he just didn't secure the football. Yeah.
So do you trust it that that got better? I mean,
it's a full offseason. It's a new starter to wing
(24:37):
it around, but we'll see.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
All right. Final dilemma. And it's your hated Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
But Jaden Reed, hopefully fully healthy. A lot of hype
about Matthew Golden. Christian Watson, you hope can stay healthy
through a season. Who's Jordan Love's main target outside of
Tucker Kraft, who's dealing with his own injury comeback to
deal with?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, I mean, that's the guy they need to make
it all run, right? We talked last episode about the
Josh Jacobs exemption list addition and everything else. So Watson,
for me, is a mid WR3. And then we go
down the line. And I know Golden's getting a lot
of run. And I think part of that is everybody
wants to see that first round pick roll through. Jaden
(25:19):
Reed was really good for large stretches of last season.
So I don't see that change. And I think he
was kind of like without craft being available, he became
the security blanket like Linus used to carry. And I
think that continues.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
All right. There it is. Any other wide receivers we
need to throw out as we wrap up this preview
edition of the pass catchers?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, if he's healthy, Wandale Robinson was a high achiever
for fantasy owners quietly last year. Now in Tennessee, again,
you got to bank on Cam Ward getting in the football,
but opportunity there. KC Concepcion wants Shadur Sanders as the
quarterback for the Browns. All bets are off. Just wing
it and let them go get it. So potential for
(26:01):
some greatness there. I mentioned Jordan Tyson earlier. We'll see
how quickly he can get back and on the mend
there for the New Orleans Saints. And then you've got
the last man standing and certainly not looking to put
a lot of stock in it, but... stripling might be
the last guy there to stand and catch footballs in
(26:21):
San Francisco before it's all said and done right Evans
with with some injury history George Kittle still trying to
come back we already lost pure solve for the year
Debo Samuel how many more hits how many times they're
going to try to run the football with him to
where he's suddenly not available again I think there's a
guy that over the course of the year there's going
(26:42):
to be some sneaky spots plays for him that that
yield big benefit.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
And no mention of Dijon Love of the 49ers, the
fake wide receiver that has been all the rage as
of late. We'll end on that note.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That was one of the best stories of the offseason.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Unbelievable. So ridiculous. We'll reference him throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
No question. He'll be a late-edition pickup, no question.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, Mike, great work again on the wide receivers. And, again,
we've got one more preseason episode to go. It's our
top 60 of how our drafts would go. Hopefully we'll
have some clarity on Pook and Nakua and Josh Jacobs.
at that point as well. So for Mike Harmon, I'm
Dan Beyer. We always appreciate you listening to I Want
Your Flex. Talk to you next time.
Ladies and gentlemen, you want experience during your football season?
Buckle up, sweet cheeks.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
That's all we need!
Speaker 1 (00:09):
We've got all the experience in the world.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This is I Want Your Flex.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
With Dan Beyer and Mike Harmon. Mike and Dan break
down everything you need to set your lineups. From position
rankings to starts and sits, the guys help you make
those hard decisions. And now, let's get your flex on.
Here's Dan Beyer and Mike Harmon. The wide receiver position.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That's where we focus on our preseason edition of I
Want Your Flex, at least this episode anyway. Find Mike
at Swollen Dome. You can find me at Dan Byer
on Fox. Some big-time names atop the fantasy rankings, Mike,
when it comes to those wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it's been the usual suspects year after year. You
want to talk about consistency? How about the fact in
half PPR leagues, Amon Ross St. Brown has finished third
three straight years.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Then, okay, so... If we got three for three.
Do we do four for three? Is he going to do, man,
that's consistency. That is consistency.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's pretty crazy, right? The other guys, we add in
some injuries, some concerns, right? We have the Jamar Chase
video that still the human body bewilders me that that
wasn't a serious knee injury. For those that saw that
video during training camp, he's like, I'm fine. All right,
we'll keep an eye on that. You got the Puka Nakua.
Will he face disciplinary action? a disciplinary hearing from the NFL?
(01:37):
Will he miss time? We don't know during this draft season,
so how much do you account for that? JSN's been
fantastic in his rise the last two years as you've
reaped the benefits, but there's one guy that We all
would argue from talent perspective, he's a top three guy. Unfortunately,
the trigger man, some health issues of his own, have
(01:59):
left him in the off. Offing in deep recesses when
we talk about Justin Jefferson, 25th, 2nd, and 29th the
last three years. So a little bit of upheaval, some
new names, and maybe some redemption stories here for 26.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
In the drafts that I've taken part in, Puka is
the one that's taken the hit again because of the
unknown and the possibility of missing games. If you can
navigate that, that's great. If Puka misses four games, you
win one of them, you're fine. As long as you
don't go 0-4, go 1-3, you can come back from 1-3.
(02:35):
But that's the question. Is it going to be four games?
Is it going to be two? Could it be six?
Could it be seven? And that ends up affecting on
where you're going to select Puka Nakua So to me, Mike,
the toss-up, and I don't know your rankings, and you're
about to unveil them, it's got to either be Chase
or JSN at number one.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, I've got Chase just a slight tick above. But
you know what? I could be argued, I think, pretty
easily because you know my concerns about whether Joe Burrow
is able to stay healthy. And while I may be
the leader of the Joe Flacco is elite club, you know,
there's still certainly some concerns there. The offensive line, how
good the defense is. Well, that allows you to keep
(03:15):
winging the ball down the field. So there'll be no issues.
operation shut down in fourth quarters but with with jsn
we talk about post super bowl runs extra games all
of those things is there a little bit of shift
in philosophy uh in terms of getting him and feeding
him the ball regularly i think you know in your
half ppr and full pprs uh you're not you're not
(03:38):
worried about some ridiculous downturn by any stretch of the
imagination it's just a matter of splitting hairs up at.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The top I am curious on there is going to
be a regression on JSN. I just wonder, Mike, it's
not as much about the yards. It's what's it going
to be with the touchdowns. Sure. Because he did hit
double digit touchdowns last year. It's a guy who had
over 160 targets, 119 receptions on the season. But Seattle
does have options in that red zone. We know A.J.
(04:07):
Barner is an option for them. Cooper Cup is as well.
Not saying that the other teams don't. However, I think
that JSN, in his regression of where it is, maybe
only has 1,500 yards or 1,400 yards. But if you
still get the 10 touchdowns, That's pretty important. If it
gets down to six or seven, I think you're going
(04:29):
to be feeling that hit from taking him early.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No question about it. Now, in the running back episode,
we did the dive of what it looks like in
terms of your drop off. All right. Here's W.R. one
to W.R. twelve from last year. Seven point five points
per game. That's Puka Nakua down to T. Higgins. At
your WR2 slots, so WR13 through 24, you go, it's
(04:56):
a 1.2 difference. Likewise, WR3, it's about the same, about
1.22 points per game separate the 25th receiver from the 36th.
So it's really about getting that first wide receiver right.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I also think that when you talk about the four
names of JSN, Chase, Puka, and Amon Ross St. Brown,
that there is a different level of their success than
the others. Like that next year when we talk about
running backs, it's like, yeah, there are questions, but you
feel like you're going to be getting a pretty good guy.
You feel good writing that name down in the RB1 spots.
(05:37):
Justin Jefferson was a first overall pick just a couple
of years ago. You mentioned his quarterback situation last year
and how that could play into this year, but he's
not at the top anymore. Drake London's quarterback situation, something
we also talked about when it came to Bijan Robinson
in our running back episode. There's going to be a
question in Atlanta. That next group of guys, Mike, just
(05:58):
makes me worry. And this number here, I think it
could be even bigger when we analyze these numbers next year.
because of how valuable I think the top guys are,
as opposed to even just the next tier of wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And that's exactly it, right? Where's that drop off? How
does it settle? How many teams are utilizing 1 and
1A versus having a true, as my guy Greg Cosell
would say, boundary X guy, right? That you could go
and get it to out on the edges and know
that putting the ball in their area, they're going to
go find it, right? How many of those guys are
(06:32):
there really? so it's that curious uh separation between those
first few and you know for puka nikua he's just
really such a wild card in this final week of
of coming up on the draft that we don't have
a decision so you really have to push all in
if you want him uh and then make sure you're
(06:52):
circling back as fast as you can to shore up
that receiving core.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Let's get to your top five wide receivers entering your
drafts you said you had jamar chase one and jsn2
i believe who runs out the top five.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We've got CeeDee Lamb coming in three as the greatest
offense there is. I really need to have that shirt
for what Dallas can do. I think they'll help by
the upgrades on the defensive side, so better operation and
better efficiency for Dak Prescott and company to be among
the league's best. Amon Ross ain't brown. I can't dip
(07:25):
him too far with that level of consistency. Love the
Detroit weaponry that's around there. Curious to see how– The
game is called, and certainly for red zone opportunities like
we talked about with JSN, Dan, it's kind of that
same question. Do you still have some sit-down opportunities where
he's the target, or will you see... If he's healthy,
(07:48):
Laporta take a bigger step there. What we do know
is there's no David Montgomery anymore, so maybe that opens
things up as well. And then I've got Puka still
at number five, and I have him there in red
pen as a I don't know, and it hurts my
eyes to see it there. I mean, we talk about
the player he is. I'm reading all these reports out
(08:09):
of camp. He's slimmed down. They're working him deeper down
the field, so maybe saving his body from the— you know,
free safety coming over the top like they've been able
to do, working him over the middle. One of the
things we love about watching him play, but also the, hey,
you need him there if you're making that run in January.
So how do you preserve him along the way? But
(08:31):
not knowing whether we get a suspension, a two-weeker, as
you said, all the way towards half season leaves me
concerned here, which is I've got him at five, but Again,
it's one of those that the pendulum could swing either
way pretty fast.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But I think it's also just because of the guys
that are below him, though. And that's where we talk
about this separation. And you're high on CeeDee Lamb, so
maybe you want to say it's a top five. I
said it was a top four earlier, but we can
include Lamb in it. But I think it's more because
Nakua's in this spot because it fits. Where if he
(09:07):
does just miss a minimal amount of games... this is
good value in that spot. But by no means are
you ready to put Justin Jefferson or Drake London, you know,
those guys ahead of him because of the questions that
they face. So I think it's a keen spot. He
went in our long-term league. Yeah, Puka ended up going
(09:31):
fourth because Amon Ra went right before him and JSN
and Chase were earlier in the draft. But Puka ended
up dropping to four in the in our draft because
of that and that's and that was about a little
more than a week ago mike so we're talking about
you know around august 22nd i believe our draft was
where there seemed to be maybe a little bit more
about puka's future and the i mean he's battled some
(09:54):
injuries as well during camp but i also think with
the rams i'll throw this out there and then we
can move on from the top five but this is
a team that now wants to win the Super Bowl
obviously Aaron Donald's coming back but if Puka did miss
a couple of games I don't know if they're crushed
by it you know what I mean like so so
in that aspect of like working him back in slowly
(10:14):
I think that's why we see so much Blake Corum
because of this team is going to want to have
bigger fish to fry in the playoffs. So if you
had to sit out Puka for whatever penalty it was,
I don't think the Rams would necessarily be mad about it.
And I also don't think you're going to see the
explosion of the big plays in some of these games. Honestly,
(10:34):
they could be winning by 20, 25 points because of
how good we think the squad could be.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And that is it, right? If it plays to form. Now,
I haven't done the look-see at their schedule with the
point spreads attached. But to that point, if they are
that good, How many of those fourth quarters are, all right,
tuck it into Corum and whoever we've got as a
third running back, into their gut, run, clock, let our
defense go play a little bit with a big lead
and just get out of town?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
And making sure that Matthew Stafford is in one piece.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That's right. That's it, right? An awful lot of Ty
Simpson at the end of games, I think.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let's get to the six through ten. I'm curious. I
think there are a lot of familiar names at this point. Mike,
I actually think there's about seven names for five spots
in this range, and I'm curious on who you got
where in six through ten.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Let's see how many we hit on, huh? Devontae Smith
coming in at number six as your number one there
in Philadelphia. Still some concerns, I think, as we listen
and see all the stuff coming out of Eagles camp,
but a number one talent with that opportunity. A guy
I love a lot, Chris Alave. I think he's a
(11:45):
top-notch receiver. We obviously know health becoming a question and
the fact that his number two, Mr. Tyson, drafted this
year isn't available just yet coming off a big hamstring injury,
but something to watch as we go. Number eight, Ladd McConkie.
There's no Keenan Allen here to take targets away. I
think Mike McDaniel is able to scheme him up and
(12:07):
get him loose. The fact that you can uncork the
deep ball, at least while Quentin Johnston is healthy. See,
I don't want to drag guys, but I have to
because it opens up the field and lets McConkie go
to work over the middle. That's where we get then
to a couple of guys. And this is where I
start doing my hand wringing a little bit, Dan, where
we get to Drake London and A.J. Brown. George Pickens,
(12:30):
the aforementioned Justin Jefferson. That's how we'd rank them next.
And then the guy that's on the outside of WR1
just knocking on the door is Nico Collins.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Okay, so let me get this straight. So you got
Drake London, 9. And then at 10? A.J.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Brown.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
At 10 is A.J. Brown, okay. And 11, we've got... We're.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Going back to Dallas with George Pickens.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
George Pickens. All right. And then 12 was... OK, Justin Jefferson.
There it is. Nine through 12 on the list. And
you did throw me a curveball with the Devante Smith
and Ladd McConkie higher on them. Then I think I've
seen others have those two ranked.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I'm looking at it from a you know, when
we were talking about just quarterbacks, decision making and opportunities here. Look,
I know there's a lot on what we have in
Philadelphia with Jalen Hurts. The guy delivers, right? It may
not be the way you want. It may not be
as consistent, and there may be some throws that everybody
(13:33):
has an armchair quarterback, and you and I doing it
as we do on the radio, Dan, where it's like,
all right, well, that wasn't the best, but the numbers
are there, right? The performance ends up being there. With McConkie,
I think it's the same thing. There's no Keenan Allen here.
to take targets away this time around I'm expecting the
offense to be a a better more efficient operation we
(13:56):
talked about Hampton in the last episode and getting that
run game started and I think McConkie's a guy that
could be a hundred catch receiver now obviously we're talking
about health and consistency there for and a lot of
it with Justin Herbert not taking 66 sacks say 20
of those are dump offs to his running backs or
Ladd McConkie on a quick hitch away we go but
(14:19):
yeah it's I'm looking at that more for the what
I'm expecting out of their offenses and more trust of
their quarterback situation than I think I mean obviously what
we have in Atlanta we love Drake London as a
talent there's no question about it are they going to
be able to feed him the football.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah I don't know at least as much as they
did last year right you know that's and that's kind
of what you're what you're hoping for, at least for
the baseline. So there it is, Mike Harmon's top 12
wide receivers for the upcoming season. We now dig a
little deeper. Some familiar names still available on the board.
What's going to happen with Malik Neighbors and Jackson Dart
in New York? Plus, Jalen Waddle's got a new home
(14:59):
in Denver. Can he possibly move up to some of
the names that we'll touch on next? He's Mike Harmon.
I'm Dan Baier talking wideouts here on I Want Your Flex.
Welcome back. All right, Mike, let's get to the other
side of the wide receiver dozen, the 13 through 20,
if you will, wide receivers that you have ranked entering
this upcoming season.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, quick, I got to recap. I mean, you had
seven for five guys. How many did I miss on?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's right. So it was, I didn't have Ladd and
I didn't have Devante Smith. So those were the two
that were, that I had on the outside looking in.
So Nico Collins was, was one, and I had Malik Neighbors,
who I mentioned in the tease, as possibly, I thought,
in the top 12.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
How about that? So those were the next two. Okay,
all right, perfect. So they lead the WR2, followed by
Jalen Waddell, who I think could greatly outperform. Once upon
a time, a 100-catch guy, and that was with Tua
Tungavailoa throwing him the football. Think about what could happen
if things actually work right, and you know I've got
to believe in it if I'm praising Sean Payton. So
(16:07):
we got that DJ Moore out in Buffalo at number
16 flowers coming in at 17. And then we get
to T Higgins and then two guys that, again, based
on one, his own issues and health, the other just, well, jets, uh,
Rasheed rice and Garrett Wilson round out the top 20.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Here's my issue with Rasheed rice is that I don't
think he's the big play guy. I think that Rasheed
Rice is nice maybe in a full PPR format. I
think there'll be red zone opportunities, something we talked a
little bit about in our running back episode as well
when we talked about Kenneth Walker and the Chiefs. But
I don't think he's the guy that's going to give
(16:49):
you a 48-yard catch, 27-yard catch. He's going to give
you eight. He's going to give you 13. And if
you're in a half-pointer in a standard league, he's not
as valuable as– at least last year in coming back
from his troubles. That's my question about Rasheed Rice.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We'll see some pop, maybe more from Taequann Thornton, who
performed well in spots. They still have Xavier Worthy there.
Cyrus Allen, a guy that's turning some heads in the preseason.
So maybe one of those later round sleepers to see
what kind of role he carves out in BNME and
Andy Reid's offense.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
What about Baltimore? I mean, you had Jay Flowers in
that 17, I believe, in your rankings. When you have
Declan Doyle coming over, I know you're familiar.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Bears.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah. The big contract threw me off for Zay Flowers.
I'm not the believer in fantasy production from the Ravens
wide receiver, but you have them at 17. What do
you like or don't like?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, when we're doing the full season, I think it's
more the compilation effect of Uh, in terms of week
to week, I think he's going to be maddening. And
I think I agree with you a hundred percent there, right?
Cause you're talking about Derek Henry, uh, siphoning off a
bunch of your, your rushing efforts around the goal line.
You're talking about Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, who's still there.
(18:08):
You lose Isaiah likely. So that opens up some targets
and some opportunities. Got to keep that offensive line healthy.
They have three new parts all on the interior. So
that'll be a curiosity with Ronnie Stanley. Always a question
of whether he's going to be upright. But for Lamar
Jackson working downfield, I think that short and intermediate game
takes a little bit of a pop. So from a
(18:29):
PPR half PPR perspective, I think Flowers reception total might
might take a little bit of a boost, even if
the the yards per catcher down is and certainly the
red zone, always a question in Baltimore. But just looking
at him from the slow and steady wins the race
as a WR2. We're not going to have a lot
of low floors, and maybe occasionally you get one or
(18:53):
two big pops.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Devontae Adams was buoyed by the touchdowns last season, not
in your top 20. Where do you have someone like
Devontae Adams going again as we Talked about Puka's role
in the Rams' offense. What about someone like Devontae Adams?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Currently back in WR2. I've got him at 24th. He's
just ahead of Jamison Williams, and I think it would
be argued pretty easily to go for the big pop
with Williams. But again, that's the question of are you
going to get more consistent efforts out of him? Because
we watched it last year, you and I chronicling this
for the I Want Your Flex show. community out there
(19:32):
of uh boy he was maddening because it would be
a huge it's like quentin johnston and with the chargers
right you'd have one or two big games with big
receptions and he'd get one of those big hits early
it's like all right we're gonna have one of those
games and then the next week he's not really involved
at all so that's my only four when it comes
to him but for Demonte Adams I gotta think there's
(19:52):
a bit of a regression on that touchdown dominance.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I like Jamison Williams as well this year I also
just don't think that the Lions they haven't been able
really in the last couple of years to show they
can really stop anyone and I think there's going to
be more of an opportunity plus he topped 100 1100
yards last season and For them, I think there could
be more big plays if you can keep Jared Goff
on the field. So the offensive line maybe hasn't been
(20:16):
as good as the other years. Some turnover starting to
occur there. But I think that's something to watch in Detroit.
But I agree with you wholeheartedly. I like Jamison Williams,
and I definitely like him above Devontae Adams.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
A couple slots lower, that's where we get into the
division of what the commanders could be. Terry McLaurin coming
in at 27th, but we saw him a couple of
years ago be one of the top 10 performers in
the game. Potential for huge upside if it breaks right.
Likewise in Jacksonville, Brian Thomas had a miserable 2025 season.
(20:49):
Did he find the stickum? Did he get the stickum
I sent him? I don't know. If so, then maybe
he can regain his form for Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
That's the interesting thing, because I think a lot of
people are really high on Parker Washington. And is it
one or the other in Jacksonville? Because that's how I
view it. I think like if you're banking on Parker
Washington being your first Jaguar wide receiver, then you're thinking
that Brian Thomas the first year was a fluke. And
then it's vice versa the other way. Where do you
(21:18):
land on the Jaguar receivers?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I have Parker Washington about seven slots higher than Thomas.
Probably still a little higher on both than the average consensus.
I haven't done a lot of the scouring of the
trending the last couple of days as so many drafts
have been input. But, yeah, I would say we'll look
at Washington with a little bit of juice based on
(21:41):
the trust factor. I think Thomas needs to earn it again.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
What about your Bears? Okay, and I say this in
this way. I had the opportunity to draft both Roma
Dunze or Luther Burden. And I just it's not that
I didn't believe the hype in Luther Burden. I think
people are sleeping on Roma Dunze. Where do you land
with the Windy City pass catchers?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I think you're going to have a couple of big
hits from Luther Burden. And there's going to be a
couple of those. Oh, my goodness. Moments that are going
to make people wag, wag their tongues. But I think
Dunze is going to be the more consistent option for
you this year. I think I agree with you 100%.
I think from a full, you know, the old route
tree and everything that you need, you're going to get
(22:25):
that from a dunce. I think Burden's going to be
a lot more, and we saw it last year, a
lot of Williams' bailout guy as the big guy can
go make a play.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I think that people forget how good Roma Dunce was
in the first part of last year. Like, the numbers
end up all because of injuries and like him, DJ Moore,
and Burden, they all somewhere in the same ballpark, if
you will. But I think we forget on what Adunze
did early on in the year.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, it kind of got morphed down the stretch, right?
And it became less about who was catching the ball
and just more about the circumstance.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So I think it's going back game by game and going, oh, actually,
that was the guy that caught it. And I think
that was the case in Chicago, too. I mean, it
was just so ridiculous. that it was all about number 13,
that it's like, no, no, no, let's actually go back
and break down what these guys did in the receiving department.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Okay, I got two more scenarios for you. Never in
a world did I think that Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Michael Wilson would be neck and neck in terms of rankings,
but Jacoby Brissett sure liked Michael Wilson. We know that
Marvin Harrison Jr. maybe hasn't necessarily lived up to his expectations.
We also have Trey McBride in that offense, but you
take the two Cardinals wide receivers away, What's the gap
(23:37):
between Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Wilson, for me, minus maybe nine spots down to Harrison.
Maybe near to a full wide receiver tier.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Okay. Wait, so you have Wilson higher than— I do. Oh, wow. Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Now, you know, with Jacoby Brissett, we'll see how that
plays out, and eventually, I guess, to Carson Beck, depending
on when that transition happens, because I fully expect Brissette
to be wearing another, uh, decal on his helmet. Sure.
By mid season based on, uh, ineffectiveness or, uh, injury
that they'll say, all right, you know, you're a veteran.
(24:14):
Come and play for us. The Cardinals are playing for nothing.
So we'll see that. But I think there's just the trust. Harrison, obviously,
with a world of potential. And we saw it on
display last year. There were a couple of big routes
that he made, and then he just didn't secure the football. Yeah.
So do you trust it that that got better? I mean,
it's a full offseason. It's a new starter to wing
(24:37):
it around, but we'll see.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
All right. Final dilemma. And it's your hated Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
But Jaden Reed, hopefully fully healthy. A lot of hype
about Matthew Golden. Christian Watson, you hope can stay healthy
through a season. Who's Jordan Love's main target outside of
Tucker Kraft, who's dealing with his own injury comeback to
deal with?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, I mean, that's the guy they need to make
it all run, right? We talked last episode about the
Josh Jacobs exemption list addition and everything else. So Watson,
for me, is a mid WR3. And then we go
down the line. And I know Golden's getting a lot
of run. And I think part of that is everybody
wants to see that first round pick roll through. Jaden
(25:19):
Reed was really good for large stretches of last season.
So I don't see that change. And I think he
was kind of like without craft being available, he became
the security blanket like Linus used to carry. And I
think that continues.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
All right. There it is. Any other wide receivers we
need to throw out as we wrap up this preview
edition of the pass catchers?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, if he's healthy, Wandale Robinson was a high achiever
for fantasy owners quietly last year. Now in Tennessee, again,
you got to bank on Cam Ward getting in the football,
but opportunity there. KC Concepcion wants Shadur Sanders as the
quarterback for the Browns. All bets are off. Just wing
it and let them go get it. So potential for
(26:01):
some greatness there. I mentioned Jordan Tyson earlier. We'll see
how quickly he can get back and on the mend
there for the New Orleans Saints. And then you've got
the last man standing and certainly not looking to put
a lot of stock in it, but... stripling might be
the last guy there to stand and catch footballs in
(26:21):
San Francisco before it's all said and done right Evans
with with some injury history George Kittle still trying to
come back we already lost pure solve for the year
Debo Samuel how many more hits how many times they're
going to try to run the football with him to
where he's suddenly not available again I think there's a
guy that over the course of the year there's going
(26:42):
to be some sneaky spots plays for him that that
yield big benefit.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
And no mention of Dijon Love of the 49ers, the
fake wide receiver that has been all the rage as
of late. We'll end on that note.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That was one of the best stories of the offseason.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Unbelievable. So ridiculous. We'll reference him throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
No question. He'll be a late-edition pickup, no question.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, Mike, great work again on the wide receivers. And, again,
we've got one more preseason episode to go. It's our
top 60 of how our drafts would go. Hopefully we'll
have some clarity on Pook and Nakua and Josh Jacobs.
at that point as well. So for Mike Harmon, I'm
Dan Beyer. We always appreciate you listening to I Want
Your Flex. Talk to you next time.
