When you're drafting your wide receivers in fantasy this year, don't make the same mistake that everyone else is.

0:05.1

Because there are five guys right now going way too late in drafts, even though that these guys are more explosive and have more upside than the guys going ahead of them.

0:12.3

You should be drafting those five wide receivers instead, and these are the exact type of moves that will help you win your league.

0:17.7

And that's my goal to help you win your league, and that's my goal, to help you win your league, and let's do it with this video, starting with the first wide receiver that we will discuss, the guy that you should

0:24.3

be drafting over the players that go around him, and that's Chris Alave, because let's just

0:28.2

look at something right now for Mr. Chris Alave of the Saints. He currently goes as the wide

0:32.4

receiver 35, despite being the clear-cut number one receiver on his team. He's not even going as a top 30 receiver.

0:38.2

And he's going right now after guys like Jerry Judy.

0:41.2

He's currently going, oh, I don't know, depending on where you're drafting a round later

0:45.0

0:47.4

And that right there is a complete mistake because, look, I get it.

0:50.6

Chris Olavet has burned you in the past.

0:52.5

He's had concussion issues. He's dealt with other

0:55.0

injuries and poor quarterback play and he just hasn't been consistent in the NFL. Last year alone,

0:59.3

he missed a bunch of games with concussions and that's been a lingering issue, which is very scary

1:03.0

because, like we've seen with Tua, you could just miss a month or two months. He only had 400

1:06.6

receiving year, just 44 targets and 32 catches. He went out there and scored just one touchdown when

1:11.7

you look at where he finished in terms of fantasy points per game 9.6 fantasy points per game not even

1:16.7

in like the top 40 wide receivers then it might make some sense to you when he's going as the

1:20.8

wide receiver 35 or 36 this year you might say yeah that makes sense but that doesn't tell the full

1:25.2

story because when alave was healthy he was averaging nearly 13 fantasy points per game. He was a top 24 fan of receiver receiver

1:30.9

and if you removed two outlier games where he got hurt, Alave was averaging 17.2 fantasy points per
