Who is the big winner in the Adam Thielen? Jalen Coaker moves fallout. That more than week on the couch. It's here. It's week once. We bring in royalty, Lord Rebes himself. We're going to go deep. But also, the journey is just beginning. And before it even began, Jaylen Coaker, new slot receiver for the Carolina Panthers, Adam Thieland's back in Minnesota.

Jay La Coker on IR.

Is there anybody from Minnesota or Carolina that looks more attractive to you in the wake of this madness?

Well, the obvious one is, you know, just what the spike does for a guy like Teterow, McMillan,

you know, obviously being the round one pick. Got a little bit of discounted this year, I think, because of what happened to Marvin Harrison Jr. last year with the elevation as a rookie, like from an archetypical stance, you would think that they're similar types of players, but, you know, McMillan has a lot more in his profile, like breaking tackles and, you know, playing some power slots up than Marv ever had at Ohio State.

Also winning in the contested catch game, he was actually better than Marv was. You know, in Ohio State, we saw a lot of the issues that Marv had from his tape as a prospect, B kind of problems as a rookie. then it was, you know, dog piled onto that, you know, with, you know, what Drew Petting did with that passing game and what Kyler Murray then was forced to do when opponents knew that they were going to throw. But kind of the one thing with Tet was like, all right, well, year one, is he going to get kind of pushed to like this prototypical X spot? Because they have Thielen in the slot. Obviously they have, they have, they have, like, all these guys they can move around. Does it is it just like a year one thing like hey we're going to have him learn a position now feeling's gone now cocker's gone and it's just like all right he has like this pipeline because he's not going to be like a 50% slot player but if we can get him like 20 to 30% in the slot like that's that's a significant boost for getting him more free squares and creating him opportunities that have targets that come with a high success rate, and I believe he can create with those. So that's a significant boost for getting him more free squares and creating him, you know, opportunities to have targets that come with a high success rate. And I believe he can crave it. So that's like the biggest one. I had firmly kind of believed he always belonged with like that wide receiver two bucket of guys that like kind of had question marks anyways, the Garrett Wilson's, the Marvin Harrison Jr. We just talked about. I always believed he kind of, like, was more

exciting than those picks. And you were able to get him kind of a round after those guys. And I think that ended up, he got pushed there in the 11th hour. I will say for like week one, like DFS purposes, like streaming purposes, I believe now Xavier Leggett is like on the board. Because his best stretch last year also came when feeling was out, you know, after that feeling injury.

And he started to get access to some of that. the board because his best stretch last year also came when Thielen was out,

you know, after that feeling injury. And he started to get access to some of that,

you know, those easier, easier types of targets too. So he's also going to be able to

moonlight in there too. I think that we'll see Carolina move those guys in and out of that spot.

So it becomes like an interesting DFS player, streamer in your deeper leagues.

If you're kind

of fishing for a guy uh he becomes interesting as well but uh obviously tett is i think the biggest

winner yeah like he said 20 30 percent snaps in the slot one of the things that for a while rich

was kind of an obsession around these parts and then now have faded i feel like the pendulum swinging back a little more specialized players in the slot,

like Hunter Renfro, who is going to soak up some percentage of those snaps that Thielen

and then Coker vacated, is the idea of teams playing their best wide receiver in the slot.

Like whatever role he's prototypical for in a prototypical offense,

you play your best wide receiver in the slot.

And we're hearing, I think the Saints,

there's more of that with Chris Lave potentially coming.
