Summary

Buy These 2024 Players Instead of Spending Picks on 2026 Rookies Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down why dynasty managers should target undervalued vet players instead of chasing 2026 rookies. With the 2026 class lacking depth, buying low on players offers better value for contending teams looking to maximize their rosters. Marvin Harrison Jr. tops the buy list after a disappointing rookie season hampered by injuries and poor offensive coordination. With Drew Petzing gone and a potential offensive overhaul in Arizona, Harrison could be acquired for a fourth or fifth round startup pick. Brian Thomas Jr., Rome Odunze, and Ladd McConkey all offer bounce back potential, with McConkey especially appealing after Greg Roman's firing in Los Angeles opens up the passing game. Zay Flowers quietly delivered consistency despite limited touchdown equity, while Woody Marks presents running back value despite a struggling Texans offense. The hosts even highlight veteran quarterback Jared Goff and breakout tight end Kyle Pitts as targets now that Kevin Stefanski is coaching the Falcons. Start Using the Film Room Today!

We just broke down the top of the 2026 class with our top 12 video that just released on Friday.

0:06.0

So now me and Andrew Mott are going to look at these picks and we're going to tell you where you should spin them if it's not on rookies right here on the Draft Nerds Pod.

0:17.0

And right away, like Mott, we were texting back and forth and we were on the same page.

0:21.7

It's it's time to buy 2024 wide receivers, baby, and we're open it up with Marvin Harrison, Jr.

0:29.4

I'm not, I don't need to read stats for a lot of these guys, my receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

0:35.5

Not good, y'all.

0:36.8

He was injured for a lot of the time.

0:39.1

Kyle Murray went down with injury.

0:42.0

Drew Petzig was still a thing all season long and now he is not. That last part is a major thing for me.

0:48.7

So while we're playing this or that,

0:51.5

Andrew, I'll give it to you with Marvin Harrison Jr.

0:55.7

Obviously you're taking Jeremiah Love over it. That's not a question, right? Now, no, yeah. Jeremiah Love for me is a player that I

1:03.2

think probably will come in as a top 24 dynasty asset, almost day one. And that's overall, yes. I

1:09.5

don't think Marvin is right there anymore

1:10.9

no he's barely like yeah he could be had in like a fourth the fifth round of a startup

1:15.6

as your wide receiver too um now we'll go down the list here Fernando Mendoza I'm not

1:22.5

gonna lie man depending on my roster that's I'm willing to make the move but is it a straight

1:27.2

across thing?

1:28.9

Yeah, I think it comes down to roster construction. If I need a quarterback bad, I could lean

1:33.8

Fernando Mendoza. I mean, you and I talked about it a little bit off camera too. We just think he's

1:39.4

going to be a Las Vegas Raider. It feels inevitable that he's going to be a Las Vegas Raider,

1:43.1

and that doesn't necessarily get us very excited because there's not a lot to like, I think, right there for Mendoza. But if you are a quarterback needy team, I think you can still go for Nando Mendoza. I think there's an argument where could you maybe, you know, you might have to, depending, have to throw something in on top of Mendoza. Like, is it the 102? I mean, on top of Marvin. I'm so sorry. It's not on top of Mendoza. Is it Marvin a second round pick to get to Mendoza? Like, that might be where you're at, depending on where your league values Marvin Harrison right now, because Marvin Harrison is a player that I feel like a lot of people are It's all over the place you either still believe or you're like this guy sucks and I think he's a bust
