0:00.0 | There's a chance you drafted the wrong wide receivers based on how many good options are still available on waiver wires right now. |
0:05.8 | I'm seeing a handful of receivers who are currently available in over 50% of leagues, some of them in over 90% of leagues right now that I think will help your roster. |
0:13.0 | Look, these are the guys you should be adding. out of an eye Mitchell who right now many people aren't noticing this but he's starting to come |
0:20.8 | along not only in training camp but also his usage in the final preseason game and we'll touch on |
0:25.3 | that usage in just a moment but the reason why this is happening is because he's seen an elevated |
0:29.2 | or at least you can say a fast-tracked role because josh downs the second year player who last |
0:33.7 | year as a rookie was a quality pick not only only for the Colts, but also was great in the |
0:37.6 | offense. He was diagnosed with a high angle sprain. So right away, you see a high angle sprain. |
0:41.5 | That means he's probably going to miss some weeks. He did avoid the IR, so he could come back |
0:45.2 | within the first four weeks of the season. That's probably what will happen. But it's open the |
0:48.4 | opportunity for Adonai Mitchell, not only to see more snaps with the starters, but get into the top two wide receiver sets ahead of |
0:54.7 | Alec Pierce. And we saw that in the third preseason game, according to PFF and Nate Yonke |
0:58.7 | over there at PFF. He played 24 snaps with the starters, the same amount as Michael Pimman. |
1:03.3 | That's 24 out of 25 possible snaps. And he played ahead of Alec Pierce, as you can see right |
1:07.6 | here, who saw just three snaps. And more importantly, he played ahead at Alec Pierce, according to Yankee from PFF, in 12 personnel. Now, what is 12 personnel? Some of you |
1:16.0 | might know, some of you might not. It just means two wide receiver sets when only two receivers are on |
1:19.8 | the field. That's going to happen a good amount in games, especially for a team that has a good |
1:22.8 | running back like the Colts with the mobile quarterback. And if you can get on the field in these 12 personnel sets, it means you're just going to see overall more snaps, more routes run, which leads to more |
1:30.6 | targets and fantasy points as the year goes on. Now, maybe this role doesn't hold up with Josh |
1:34.9 | Downs once he's back, but it's going to give Adonichael a good chance to steal that role right now. |
1:39.1 | Because the latest update we do have on Josh Downs is that he's expected to miss four to six weeks. And this update came in on |
1:44.4 | August 7th, which means if he's going to miss four to six weeks or so, he'll probably end |
