Wide Receiver is a fun position filled with great values throughout the draft. In 2023, you could have drafted Mike Evans, Brandon Aiyuk and Nico Collins in Round 7 or later. Who will be the steal of the draft this season? We talk about some recent ADP trends (2:55) on Puka Nacua, Malik Nabers and Rashee Rice and then the guys tell you how they approach WR (9:50) ... More overall strategy talk (16:15), Round 5 value picks (22:40), thoughts on starting your team with WR/WR (27:30) and Zero-WR (38:40) ... Sleepers (43:30), breakouts (48:15) and busts (57:10). The Year 3 WRs could have huge seasons, but can guys like Drake London and Chris Olave really be worth their ADP? And we finish with a long Nabers discussion. Can he overcome his iffy QB situation? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
