| 0:00.0 | Jemar Chase is the third wide receiver off the board. What is his potential in year two? |
| 0:10.0 | Let's talk to Jacob Gibbs right now on Fantasy Football today in five. |
| 0:13.0 | Alright, Jacob Gibbs. I am very excited about Jemar Chase. I am tempted to make him my number |
| 0:19.2 | one wide receiver not going to do it in PPR for sure, but what can you tell us about |
| 0:24.4 | Jemar Chase? Give us the starting points here. |
| 0:27.4 | Yeah, it's hard not to be excited after what we saw from Jemar as a rookie. |
| 0:32.4 | So just the first thing is over the past ten seasons. We've had nine rookie wide receivers |
| 0:36.9 | top 1,000 yards of that group. Seven of the nine have increased their yardage output |
| 0:42.1 | in year two in the group average as 6% increase from year one to year two. So these are the |
| 0:49.2 | best performing rookie receivers and they're still like increasing that the next year. |
| 0:55.3 | It's not been very often that it's been a fluke for receiver to really pop off in the way |

| 1:03.5 | Macatana's top 1100 yards. So really, they're having, it's hard to find |
| 1:07.9 | comparables for Jemar because he had 1400 yards is rookie and really Justin Jefferson, Odeau |
| 1:13.1 | Beckham, the only ones even close to that. But the three edges mentioned increase their |
| 1:17.3 | yardage output by 13% from year one to year two. So a six to 13% increase from Jemar would |
| 1:24.3 | put him in the 1542 to 1,644 yards range. Which would obviously be excellent. Only two |
| 1:32.0 | 22-year-old receivers have ever get that Josh Gordon and Justin Jefferson over the past |
| 1:35.9 | 20 seasons. So I don't know if it's hard to extrapolate like that, but like that's the |
| 1:41.5 | type of, if we're just looking at just a normal increase from other receivers who have been |
| 1:45.7 | as exceptional as Jemar was as rookie, that's what we're looking at. And if you add that |
| 1:49.7 | type of an increase, we're really looking at, you know, possibly in the league and receiving |
