Calling all Little Wildlife Explorers, Playmobile is now in Happy Meal.

0:04.8

Look, is that a seal? And a sea turtle? They've been around for millions of years, just like me.

0:10.6

Which will your little ones discover? Some fun, some food, it's all inside this Happy Meal.

0:16.4

Until the 14th of October from 11 a.m., Playmobile comprised toys only subject to availability.

We're looking at our favorite wide receiver picks in rounds five through eight. This is

0:24.6

going to be based on Fantasy Pro's PPR average draft position right now on FFT Express.

0:32.5

All right, welcome everybody. Adam Azer and Jamie Eisenberg here. So, you know, obviously, look,

0:36.7

it's no surprise.

0:38.0

Our favorite wide receivers are typically going to be going in round five, not round eight in this range. But we're going to give you picks that we like throughout this range. So Jamie, who stands out to you as we get to rounds five through eight? So round five has a few guys that I like. D.K. Metcalf, Cortland Sutton, Travis Hunter,

0:55.2

all these guys are going in this range, in this round, excuse me. And like Sutton, I would consider in round four. I think he's just, you know, proved himself in Sean Payton's offense and what he did with Bo Nex last year. I think Travis Hunter is going to have a big rookie season, like the setup for him in Jacksonville. And then, who did I say? Oh, D.K. Metcalf, you know, once we get his quarterback situation, you've talked about this a lot with Aaron Rogers, how much he pepers his number one guy. So he may not even be in this range. He's just at the very beginning of it. But I think these three guys are well worth taking the chance on in round five,

1:27.7

and I think they're going to have top 20 caliber seasons.

1:31.5

One thing I never talk about, though, is that Mason Rudolph may not be horrible for D.K. Meckham.

1:38.0

I wouldn't take him in round five, maybe late, if it were late round five.

1:43.3

But Calvin Ridley averaged uh well he scored 14

1:46.9

1 or more ppr fantasy points in three of five games with uh rudolph last year 14.7 actually it was um and

1:53.2

he he was uh just over 11 ppr points per game for the season so his numbers did stand out with

1:58.6

with rudolph and uh know, hopefully that's the

2:02.1

case that Rudolph will do the same thing for Metcalf. I mean, look, barring a John

2:05.1

Smith trade, it's a pretty barren receiving court right now. Yeah. And also, if you remember,

2:09.3

George Pickens had two massive games a couple years ago with Mason Rudolph in three games with

2:14.5

Rudolph. He had two like just bonkers games then he had a zero um all right so uh

2:20.1

the wide receivers going in round five that i don't think jamie would want to draft this range would
