We need speed. Let's get some fast wide receivers on our fantasy rosters. Here are the incoming rookies you need to be looking out for. Welcome to fantasy football today in five on Thursday, April 8th. Adam Azer joined by Emory Hunt, who has been breaking down NFL draft prospects for the last few weeks with us. We are on to our second week of wide receivers. And let's, okay, let's recap who we've talked about already. Emery, Devante Smith, Jamar Chase, Jalen Waddle, a little bit of Cadarious, Tony, Terrence Marshall, and Elijah Moore from last week's episode. So let's, we can repeat some names here. Or maybe we could leave the SEC. That could, that would be something. But we want some fast wide receivers. So when I say speed,

0:39.4

who stands out to you? Two, two, Atwell, number one out of Louisville. He's 5.9. And last

0:46.2

we at his pro date, he measures it 155 pounds. But listen, I know people are wary about that,

0:51.9

but this dude can legitimately get anywhere he wants to on a football

0:55.0

field. He can get from point A to point B in an instant. He plays bigger than his size, not

0:59.9

afraid to go over the middle of the field. So some creative offensive coordinator will find a

1:04.3

unique way to utilize him. And he could be one of those chunk playmakers at the next level in a

1:08.8

best ball type situation.

1:16.1

Okay, 185 pounds or whatever it was for Devante Smith was problematic, right? So 155, is that not someone who lines up a wide receiver a lot?

1:21.3

I mean, are we talking about kind of a gadget player?

1:25.9

Maybe, because you think in terms of someone that was that light that started out really well,

1:30.5

was J.J. Nelson when he was out there in Arizona, and that's someone, maybe a John Brown,

1:35.0

who may be a little bit bigger, but gaining weight to me is something that he shouldn't have a

1:39.3

problem with as he moves forward. As we all get older, we tend to gain a little bit more weight.

1:43.8

I don't think he's reached his weight maximum yet as a football forward. As we all get older, we tend to gain a little bit more weight. I don't think

1:44.2

he's reached his weight maximum yet as a football player. Yeah, especially if we're still eating

1:49.8

Easter leftovers. It's been a rough week for me. All right, so Tutu Atwell, he's a burner. Who else?

1:56.9

Anthony Schwartz out of Auburn is a legit track and field guy that will be a better pro than he was in college because he's to be better utilized than he was at Auburn.

2:07.2

He's more of your traditional wide receiver.

2:08.8

He can run all the routes.

2:10.0

He could also be utilizing a wide receiver run game.

2:12.3

He's bigger than Tutu at well and definitely runs sub four three.
