0:00.0 | You may be drafting the wrong wide receivers. And look, I get it. These guys have the flashy names. |
0:05.5 | And maybe they helped you win your league in the past. But in 2023, their major avoids. |
0:10.9 | I mean, assuming you actually want to win your league. Now, let's start with a guy who makes his |
0:15.7 | return to football this fall. And that would be Calvin Ridley, who was now a Jacksonville Jaguar and was |
0:20.5 | suspended for all of |
0:21.9 | 2022. Now, despite this, he still goes as the wide receiver 16 in drafts, ahead of guys like |
0:26.7 | Amari Cooper, a top 10 receiver last year, and right next to D.K. Metcalf. This is a mistake because |
0:31.8 | Ridley has major questions. This right here in 2021, Week 7, was the last time we saw Calvin Ridley play football, 19 months from |
0:39.6 | this recording and will be 23 months by the time week one kicks off. And in that last time that we |
0:44.4 | saw him in 2021, he ranked 72nd in yards per outrun, wide receiver efficiency, which was a 40% |
0:50.6 | drop from his massive 2020 year. So he already wasn't looking good in 2021, which again was two |
0:56.7 | years ago. Ridley has now lost literally the two final years of his prime as he's already 28 years old. |
1:02.2 | But that's not all because now Ridley joins a new team. And in general, wide receiver switching |
1:06.0 | teams isn't great, especially as they're older. But this competition is pretty, pretty tough. |
1:10.6 | It starts with |
1:11.1 | Christian Kirk, who is 15th in wide receiver usage last year and top 20 in efficiency. Also, |
1:15.6 | hasn't missed any games the last two years. Then there's Zay Jones, who is 18th in wide receiver |
1:20.6 | usage last year, and he's missed just one game the last three years. And let's not forget |
1:25.5 | Evan Ingram, who Jacksonville brought back this year, |
1:27.8 | he was, look at these metrics, third in receptions, fourth in receiving yards, second in yards after the |
1:32.1 | catch, overall top five in tight end usage last year. Ingram is literally coming off of a career year, |
1:37.3 | so this is really tough competition for Calvin Ridley. Now the good news is, Ridley is just coming |
