Today in 5.

0:11.8

Hi, I'm Adam Azer, joined by Dave Richard.

0:14.1

All right, Dave, people are loving Corey Davis.

0:17.1

I don't know if they love them as much as Zach Wilson does, but they are really moving

up.

0:40.6

Corey Davis in the rankings, he did a Twitter poll and asked, who would you rather have in PBR? Corey Davis, Juju Smith-Schuster, or Kenny Golodey, and Davis won the Twitter poll. Are people going too crazy? When should they start thinking about drafting Corey Davis? I like Corey Davis. Honestly, I would take him in round 10 or round 9, and I'm sure there's people that hear that and say, no way, he's going to do better than that. Look at how much he's getting targeted.

0:52.0

Well, he's getting targeted a lot. Let's pump the brakes just a little bit. First, the good. The targets are great. He's in rhythm with Zach Wilson. You watch back the games against Green Bay. you definitely see that they've got timing down.

0:54.8

And he's a big guy who can make plays after the catch.

0:54.5

Okay, there's a lot of good about Corey Davis's game and the Jets should throw a decent amount

0:58.8

this year. I don't think their defense is very good, especially with Carl Lawson going down.

1:02.7

But the bad news about it is there does come a point where you go, well, who did he play against?

1:09.6

Oh, it was a lot of backups. What does this team look like when they play against a lot of starters? And the track record of Corey Davis, when we've leaned on him too heavily in drafts, the return isn't there. And Zach Wilson, as good as he's looked in the preseason, still a rookie, he's going to go through some downtimes. And no Elijah Moore is on the field. And Elijah Moore was the guy that was really tearing it up in training camp.

1:30.1

He could take work away from Corey Davis too.

1:32.9

I don't mind Davis as a top 50 fantasy receiver.

1:37.3

Somebody you draft to have on your bench, maybe he becomes a number three wide receiver.

1:41.6

Those are always good guys to get when you're in round nine or round 10. But I think if you overrate him and you take him in that round six range,

1:50.3

you're gullible. You're falling for the preseason highlight reel. Okay. How about other

rankings risers for you? Who stood out thought miles gaskin look great and this is somebody
