Summary
From 'Reception Perception' (subscribe here): In this clip, James and Matt wonder if DeVonta Smith to AJ Brown is like Tyreek Hill to Jaylen Waddle in Miami and if that’s the reason DeVonta struggles to get it going sometimes.
Matt Harmon and James Koh whip around the NFL and cover the position they know best: Wide receivers. Using the data from Harmon's exclusive Reception Perception charting methodology, the guys give their takes on receivers at every level of the game.
Whether it's the biggest stars in the league or new rookies bursting on the scene, you won't get better wideout information anywhere else. Along the way, they'll break down the biggest stories in the NFL and offer up a few big-picture fantasy football thoughts, as well.

| 0:06.0 | I want to switch to Philadelphia here and talk about Devonte Smith. |
| 0:12.0 | I feel like we have this exact opposite conversation after week two for AJ Brown, right? |
| 0:18.0 | But are you surprised that Devonte Smith, I guess, I think it's a slight over exaggeration |
| 0:23.0 | to say he's not getting more work because he still is, you know, when you talk about |
| 0:27.0 | Target sharing all those things, he's still seeing the ball. |
