Summary

Marcas Grant is joined by resident fantasy nerd, Matt Okada, for a special new edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! This episode marks the third of a four-part series where Marcas and Matt discuss the fantasy potential of incoming NFL players who are likely to be selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. Today, they focus on the wide receivers. Before getting into that, the hosts react to Alex Smith's retirement and discuss how the comeback QB will be remembered (2:20). Next, they get into this year's rookie wider receiver class, beginning with Okada's assessment of the group as a whole (5:21). Then, Marcas and Matt break down this year's "big three" of Devonta Smith (16:47), Ja'Marr Chase (24:56) and Jaylen Waddle (33:13). Before signing off, the fantasy experts explore the next tier of WR prospects including Elijah Moore, Kadarius Toney, Terrance Marshall Jr., and Rashod Bateman (37:03).

What is up?

0:16.1

Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show.

0:19.2

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, still masking and socially distancing, but partially vaccinated. I'm excited. I got my shot last week. Yeah, it's good news. Got a big show, of course. I got all this. I got all sidetracked and he railed, thinking about what's going on in the last week. But big show for you. Of course, we are joined by producer Steve. Matt Okada is back as we continue our pre-draft preview. This is a big

0:43.5

one. This is part one of two of wide receivers. We've already done quarterbacks and tight ends.

0:48.9

We did running backs last week. So wide receivers. So, Matt, this is your wheelhouse here. So, you know, when we talked about

0:56.6

doing this, we talked about doing this as a two-part thing, in part because wide receiver is very

1:02.0

deep, in part because this is especially what you do. So I would imagine this is, this is the week

1:06.9

you have been really waiting for, I would imagine. It is. Yeah, I'm always getting excited about

1:11.9

talking wide receivers. I get excited about watching wide receivers. I get excited about where they go,

1:17.1

where they get drafted. It is going to be fun this year for sure. And these two weeks are going to be

1:22.2

fun. And for anyone thinking that, you know, we get through all the good guys this week and next week's

1:26.5

episode's not as great, that's pretty backwards because the depth and the exciting guys in the second

1:32.3

group are even maybe more interesting. So it's going to be fun. Yeah, I was trying to figure out how

1:37.5

we could best split this up and just, you know, the quick overview. My idea was for this week

1:42.7

to talk about the guys who could go, you know, possibly first round, maybe early second round at the latest. So we've got, you know, your top guys, your elite group. And then there's a handful of guys below them, not all of whom may end up in the first round, but some of these guys you would expect to be off the board, probably fairly early in the second day.

2:01.2

So we're going to do that today.

2:02.4

Next week, we'll get through a handful of other guys, which, as you mentioned, the depth

2:06.2

of this class is amazing.

2:08.8

So next week, we'll talk about some guys who will probably be, you know, second day,

2:13.4

maybe even the third day, but guys who potentially could make an impact fantasy-wise,
