0:00.0 | Good morning, friends, and enemies. In today's video, we are going through eight players that I think have legit, |
0:06.8 | legit league winning upside. The guys at the end of the year when we look back on that, you know, |
0:12.2 | you look at the draft board from September and you say, damn, I nailed that round two, three, |
0:16.8 | and seven pick. And that's the reason I won my league. Now, I want to be very clear. These are not necessarily guys that I am advocating as must draft players or guys that I'll be targeting in every league, but they are guys that I think I can make very good arguments for their upside being that of the league breaking type. A lot of these guys are really, really, really good players that you have to spend really, really heavy draft capital on. |
0:37.5 | These are not just like sleepers in round 10 or 14 that break leaves because how rarely does that actually happen? |
0:43.0 | Not very often, but I will say I did filter out anyone who has already had a season in which they've averaged 20 or more |
0:50.1 | PPR fantasy points per game. So no Jamar Chase, Jumeir Gibbs, Seekwan, Bej, CMAQ, Derek Henry, Cid Lam, Justin Jefferson, Tiree, Kill, Amon Ra, St. Brown. So I left pretty much everybody else on the table. And of course, you look at any first or second round player. And I think that if any of them ended up averaging 20, 25 points per game, you wouldn't be shocked by it. but these are the guys in the earlier rounds that I think have the most legitimate case to be made. And if you enjoy this video, make sure you hit the button that looks like this. We'll be making videos like this all summer long. So make sure you are subscribed. And ironically, we'll start the list off with, you know, I said there's not a lot of guys in rounds 10, 12, 14, 16 that end up making this list. But this guy just a couple of years ago was a very, very late round pick that we had nailed, and that is Mr. Puka Nakua. Current ADP 7th overall. He is the wide receiver four behind that first tier of players of Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, C.D. Lam, and then it's Puka. I've got absolutely |
1:45.3 | zero problems with this ADP. When I look at the Rams in 2025, I think overall they're a relatively |
1:52.5 | fragile team, but they've built up a base of just unbelievably high-end blue chip players, Puka |
1:59.0 | Nakua being one of them. And what I think we're going to see this |
2:02.5 | year with Cooper Cup not there anymore, DeVante Adams playing a pure outside role and Puka |
2:07.9 | Nakua playing that Cooper Cup of 2021 role. Right now, Puka is tied in Vegas with the second |
2:15.2 | highest receiving yardage total amongst any receiver only below |
2:18.9 | Jamar Chase. Puka Nakua is a stupidly versatile player, right? And when Cooper Cup came into the |
2:25.2 | league, he was a zone beater. He was a dude that could separate all over the middle of the |
2:29.2 | field because he could find the soft spots. And he was never really more than an above average |
2:34.0 | man separator, right? He was obviously a really, really smart receiver and he improved as the years went by. But let's not act like Sean McVeigh system and Matt Stafford coming over, weren't a large reason for why he broke out and went crazy because the first few years he was in the league. He was a good receiver, but not a great receiver. Him and Robert Woods were neck and neck production year over year over year. Pooka Nakua came in and blasted off immediately. And now you don't have Cooper Cup. And I think with him in that role, the guy who's motioning and the guy who's moving around and the guy who's never really needing to separate on-man coverage. We'll see 10 to 12 targets a game game and I've got news for you. If you start looking |
3:07.8 | at the separation stats, I think there's a very, very, very, very strong case to be made that |
3:11.9 | Puka is already a better pure receiver and a separator than Cooper Cup ever was in his career. |
3:16.8 | These are Puka's RP numbers from Matt Harmon's reception. Eighty-fifth percentile success rate |
3:22.0 | versus man coverage. Ninety-first versusst versus zone, 90 second verse press. |
3:26.7 | Those are elite amongst the elites. |
