0:00.0 | You probably have a fantasy draft coming up right now. |
0:02.1 | That's why you're watching this video, but here's the deal. |
0:04.3 | I'm also in dozens of fantasy drafts right now, and I cannot believe the amount of mistakes |
0:07.9 | people are making at the wide receiver position, and I don't want you to make those. |
0:11.2 | Everyone is drafting the wrong wide receivers, and instead you should take the five guys |
0:14.6 | in this video instead. |
0:15.6 | And we'll start with the best of the best wide receivers. We're talking about those round one and round two guys. And I'm talking about this range of guys right here where there's Marvin Harrison, Garrett Wilson, and Pooka Nakuwa. |
0:24.7 | Right now, Pooka Nakuwa is going ahead of Garrett Wilson in fantasy drafts, despite just getting |
0:29.0 | disclosed with an injury. And even before that injury, he was going way ahead of Garrett Wilson, |
0:32.6 | and this is a mistake. And I know right away what people are going to say Pooka Nakuwa. I mean, this guy was fantastic. He's just 23 years old and South. |
0:38.6 | Didn't you watch football last year? |
0:39.8 | Isn't this your job? |
0:40.7 | Didn't you know that this guy had the best rookie season of all time? |
0:43.2 | Broke all the Justin Jefferson or the Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, both of these guys' records with almost 1,500 receiving yards. |
0:49.3 | By the way, top five in the NFL amongst all receivers, not just rookies, over 100 receptions, breaking rookie records, |
0:54.5 | breaking RAM records, all this stuff. And my answer would be yes, I saw all this, but heading into |
0:58.2 | 2024, which is a brand new year with a lot of more new context, he doesn't have the same |
1:02.1 | upside as Garrett Wilson. And I understand you're saying, how can that be possible? He just outproduced |
1:06.1 | him last year alone as a rookie. Well, let me explain, because I know it sounds a little crazy. Well, we can start with right here. Pook and Nukuwa right now is still competing with |
1:13.1 | Cooper Cup, who last year played the entire year injured. He got hurt in the preseason in camp, |
1:17.4 | missed the first month of camp in the beginning of the season was banged up. And even though |
1:20.8 | he was injured all year, had a hamstring later in the season, he still averaged the exact same amount of targets as Nakuwa. They both average eight and a half targets per game and very similar fantasy points per game in their completed starts together. |
