Y'all continue to sleep on these 10 dudes for fantasy football. Not me because it's 9 a.m. And I'm ripping C4 pre-workouts for absolutely no reason. Six foot five for nothing. We're talking 10 players that are going, I think round 12 or later. Maybe one of them has moved up to round 11. Some of them are like round 16. 10 dudes that I absolutely love going in the later double-digit rounds of fantasy football drafts.

0:23.6

So y'all know what to do next.

0:25.0

Tuck them.

0:29.9

Stop yelling, but I'm going to hit you with.

0:32.0

Yeah. Okay, I can't stop yapping about this dude.

0:45.3

It's Michael Wilson.

0:46.5

And if you watch Tuesday's video, which was my complete recap of the week one of preseason games,

0:51.4

a lot of these dudes might be overlaps because I talk about them after week one because I'm excited about them and excited what I saw in week one of preseason games a lot of these dudes might be overlaps because i talked about them after

0:55.0

week one because i'm excited about them and excited what i saw in week one of preseason so michael wilson

0:59.2

is a rookie at a stanford six foot one two hundred and fifteen pounds michael wilson is the only

1:04.1

dude in that receiving core in arizona that's bigger than 185 pounds and listen i'm not i'm not like

1:10.5

one of those hipsters that's joining on to the right now. I've been talking about Michael, actually, this is kind of the definition of being a hipser. I'm a Michael Wilson hipser. Fuck it. Michael Wilson is a dude that I've liked since, if you watched my video since fucking pre-NFL draft, he was one of my favorite sleeper wide receivers coming out of Stanford. This dude runs such good

1:28.3

routes for how big he is and how athletic he is. I'm telling you he's going to be a staple in

1:33.0

this offense immediately. It's Hollywood Brown and then the wide receiver two role is his. He ran every

1:38.1

single snap with the starters in their first preseason game. He's gotten nonstop buzz. He's like a

1:42.7

goddamn bumblebee out there in the Arizona training camp. And I tweeted this out the other day. Every year, there are guys that come out in the draft class that people just kind of write off because they don't fit the analytical bill. But if you watch just a little bit of tape, you can see that you just need to put context behind their stories. Michael wasn't had a ton of trouble staying healthy in college. That was his biggest problem. And listen, I can't predict injuries. I don't know if Michael Wilson is going to stay healthy. But I do know that if he does stay healthy, he's going to be an impact player for the Arizona Cardinals. Two years ago, this player was Remandre Stevenson. I loved him. He went to Juko. He got suspended. But he was so good once he got to Oklahoma and was able to play on the field in a limited sample size. But no one wanted to actually look in to why his limited sample size was a thing. Last year, Damien Pierce, absolutely loved him, right? Michael Wilson, for me, is this year's, Ramandre Stevenson, Damian Pierce, at the wide receiver position, which is pretty cool, because normally we settle in on a running back. But we're talking about Michael Wilson. In their first preseason game, it was Michael Wilson. Who the fuck was the other outside wide receiver? Zach Pascal. And then Ron Delmore only ran routes when they were doing 11 personnel and he was in the slot. It's going to be Michael Wilson and it's going to be Hollywood Brown on the outside. This is going to be a bad team. They're going to have to pass the ball a lot in the second half. If you're in a regular home league, your homie your homies will have no fucking idea who Michael Wilson is. You could probably get him in the last round. But if you're doing best ball drafts right now on underdog, Michael Wilson should occupy your 15th round pick every single time. And if I'm at the turn, what I like doing is stacking up Michael Wilson with Alec Pierce. Alk Pierce, sophomore wide receiver out of Cincinnati, now paired up with Anthony Richardson. Anthony Richardson was named the starter out there in Indy for his rookie season. So there will at least be a lot of excitement out there in Indy. I don't know how this offense is going to come together. What I do know is based off watching them play. And also based off just last year, Michael Pittman just seems to be a dude who's probably going to be underutilized throughout most of his career. He's a good deep ball player. He's a very good separator. He's a good route runner. But they just use him as a safety blanket and as a possession receiver like 10 yards down the field. Alec Pierce seems to be the go-to guy down the field. I think he's going to be making a lot of plays 20, 30, 40 yards down the field. And that is his specialty. That was his thing coming out of Cincinnati. That was kind of his thing. Last year, he was on limited playing time. But I expected to be fully out Pierce, Michael Pittman on the outside for Anthony Richardson who's got a cannon of an arm and will take shots down the field. So kind of like

3:40.9

Alex, he's a little bit tougher and just like straight up redraft leagues because those big play type dudes are a little bit tougher to predict when you should be throwing him into your lineup. But I'm a fan of Alex Pierce. He's a dude that you can absolutely get late and I think we'll have big games

4:14.3

where he's like a top 15 wide receiver three to four times throughout the year. Next up, kind of a boring player, but in that same mold is Devante Parker. Now, I don't really want to invest in like the New England Patriots passing offense whatsoever, but what I do feel like is we don't really know who the wide receivers are going to be,

4:31.5

right? They signed Juju, but Juju, I'm pretty confident in saying that he kind of stinks. And he's a worse fit for this offense than Jacoby Myers was. Tyquant Thornton is a fun, young, wide receiver that I had a lot of excitement about in the beginning of the year, but he's not really running a lot of routes with the starters, and we haven't heard too much buzz out of camp from him about him being

4:30.0

like a staple of this offense. Mike is sick. He did just get hurt. So Devante Parker is a dude that they just gave an extension to. So it feels very clear to me that if there's one staple of this passing offense is going to be Parker. I am not like overly excited to get him onto my team. But I do think he's probably a lock for about 80 targets and to run 75 to

5:04.7

80% of the routes in this offense. And the target's got to go somewhere. There's a lot of hype

5:08.9

about De Mario Douglas right now. I'm hands off. We're doing push-ups. Hands off to Mario
