Hello neighbors. Welcome to fantasy football today in five.

Adam is our day. Hello, neighbors. Welcome to fantasy football today in five. Adam Azor and Dan Schneier here, Mr. Rogers joining us today. We're talking about Malik

0:45.9

Neighbors. I just went to YouTube and watched the intro to Mr. Rogers' neighborhood to try

0:52.2

to get the voice, the cadence.

1:12.7

I don't think I've ever seen it before, actually, Dan, but you love Malik Neighbors. Could be a top five, maybe top six pick, wide receiver out of LSU, and what do you love about him? I'm so excited I get to talk about Malik Neighbors. He is my favorite receiver in this draft class, not my number one. that's Marvin Harrison Jr., but just my favorite Dan Schneier type receiver because he does the things that I love that I think translate to the NFL level. And, you know, I've seen him comp to Antonio Brown, and I can't argue with that comp because something I see so similar in their game is their speed release off the line of scrimmage. It's why he was basically unstoppable neighbors on slot fades and slot verts was LSU, so they kept going to him on that. And what do you see at the NFL level? The cheat code for NFL offensive coordinators is slot fade, slot verts. It's an easy way to create separation. And that's why Newark neighbors had the highest yards per route run in the entire class. And as I've mentioned before, Adam, on previous shows, every show we're on.

1:45.9

Yards for out run is the stickiest wide receiver stat year over year as far as production goes. He also had by far in a way the most yards per outrun against zone. That's where he really kills. And NFL defenses play a lot of zone these days. There's very few coordinators who run a lot of man. He had 15-68 yards receiving at him,

2:01.1

17.6 yards per catch, 14 touchdowns played just about half his snaps out wide, but more

2:08.2

snaps in the slot. So I think that's something interesting to consider. But really what you see

2:12.5

from neighbors that makes him stand out is his post-catch ability. It's how he transitions as a pat receiver to a

2:19.2

ball carrier. It really looks a lot to me like a souped up, more explosive, faster version of what

2:24.9

Zay Flowers did at Boston College as far as catching the ball, transitioning to a runner once

2:29.8

you have caught the ball, and then making your moves to set up what you're going to do.

2:33.3

And he had the fourth most mistackles, force mistackles with 30 in the entire class,

2:38.6

Adam.

2:39.0

He had the fourth most yards after the catch with 580 yards after the catch.

2:42.9

The third most deep yards, according to pro football focus, was 624.

2:46.5

There's really not anything he can't do.
