0:00.0 | Over the past few weeks, we've seen a ton of movement in fantasy drafts, and certain players are rising up draft boards faster than others. |
0:06.6 | So in this video, we are going to break down and use the last 10 years of experience that I have doing this to identify if those players rising, if it's warranted or not. |
0:14.0 | And we're going to start with the guy who is rising the most. in drafts right now in round 15, but he's up two rounds, 22 picks, and that's the Mario |
0:21.3 | Douglas, who is the Patriots number one receiver, at least from last year, and potentially |
0:25.6 | heading into 2024. Now, that kind of sounds a little bit weird to say, because if you look |
0:29.2 | at his stats from last season, his rookie season where he was a late round pick, he only caught |
0:33.0 | 49 balls. He only had 561 receiving yards, but yeah, that's how bad this Patriots offense in |
0:37.9 | general was last year, especially the past catching core. They suffered a bunch of injuries, guys in |
0:42.2 | and out of the lineup. So it was Douglas who stepped up and put up a team high 561 yards. But it was |
0:46.8 | actually better than this seems. Like this doesn't do justice. 561 yards. Okay, that's like a |
0:50.8 | wide receiver two on three on most teams. But keep in mind, this dude was a rookie. If you look at his final nine games of the season, he started to pick |
0:57.4 | it up when guys went down like Kendrick Bourne with injury, like other players, Devante Parker, |
1:01.5 | dealing with injury. You can see right here, 6.9 targets per game compared to just 3.4 for |
1:06.1 | his first five games, month, month and a half of the season. So he started to come on. This 6.9 targets, we can call it seven targets per game. That's around the mark that you'll see a top 24 receiver have in the |
1:14.6 | NFL. And again, this is nothing to ride home about, but it's pretty good considering the fact that |
1:18.6 | he was in the number 31 ranked offense with quarterbacks like Mack Jones and Bailey Zappie |
1:22.9 | throwing him the ball. And it's not like we're talking about a guy here when we're trying to decide if he's worth it or not. We're not talking about like a fourth, a fifth or a sixth round pick. This guy's |
1:29.9 | still going in the 15th round the drafts. Now he has a pretty good chance to be his team's number |
1:33.6 | one receiver. And you can see he goes right next in the NFL where we still have to see Polk |
1:49.0 | do that. And even if we argued who's the number one receiver on this team, I feel pretty confident |
1:52.6 | in saying that those two guys, Polk and Douglas, are going to start. Because let's just look at |
1:56.0 | the depth chart on player profiler right here. You have those two guys who I think are the starters. You have Kendrick Bourne who is now aging coming off of an ACL injury, a fourth round pick, Javon Baker, who might be |
