0:00.0 | In your fantasy football draft, you're going to have a ton of opportunities to draft wide receivers. |
0:04.7 | Now, some of them will be good picks. Some of them will be bad picks that you want to avoid. |
0:07.8 | But there are five guys this year that I consider must haves. And based on the last six, seven years of me doing this, they're some of the best receivers I've seen maybe ever for fantasy. |
0:15.7 | And maybe that's a little extreme, but let's break it down and see what you think. |
0:18.9 | These are the five must-have receivers for 2024. And we begin with T. Higgins. And look, I know, I know what you're thinking. Don't exit |
0:24.6 | out of the video. I know what you're thinking. You're saying, seriously, T. Higgins is a must-have |
0:28.2 | receiver, Sal, come on. And trust me, I've drafted like over 100 teams and I keep targeting T. Higgins. And there's a lot of reasons for this when we go in |
0:41.9 | and break it down. And you can see right here, he's not going as a second or a third round pick |
0:45.2 | anymore. Heck, he's not even a fourth round pick. He's currently the 52nd overall player. That is a |
0:49.6 | fifth round pick in fantasy football. Again, in past years, he was like a second or third round pick |
0:54.3 | every single year. So the question then comes to mind, well, why is he going so late? And it could |
0:58.3 | be easy to kind of point to what he did last year. We'll pull it up right here. It could be easy |
1:01.7 | to just say, oh, he finishes the wide receiver 40 last year. He stunk, that's a little bit tongue-in-cheek because he was a lot better |
1:11.2 | than this last year. Because him finishing as the wider C-R-40 just gives you absolutely no context. You |
1:15.5 | would be mistaken if that's how you did all your fantasy research and you probably wouldn't be |
1:18.6 | winning your championships, getting to the playoffs, maybe that's you. Well, let's try and get you situated |
1:22.1 | better. He only played in 12 games last year. But in these 12 games, he only started and completed nine of them, |
1:27.7 | meaning that he left early or was limited by injury in three of them. But lucky for you, |
1:31.9 | I went through those nine games and looked at the splits when he was actually out there |
1:35.0 | and quote unquote healthy finishing the game. And in those nine games, Higgins averaged |
1:38.4 | 8.3 targets and 14.1 fantasy points per game. And 14.1 fantasy points per game is right around a top 20 wide |
1:45.7 | receiver where he usually finishes. And this is even more impressive when you consider in week one, |
