We spend eight straight months talking about rookies for fantasy football. These are the ones for fantasy football this year that we think have a pretty good chance of returning on investment. These aren't the what we think are going to be the most productive rookies, top five most productive rookies in fantasy football. But what we're looking for are good values at their price. And when we're looking for guys that could break fantasy football, we're looking for guys who you may draft super cheap and return on investment like crazy.
Or in a case of a guy like Carnell Tay, our first guy here, a guy that you can draft, you know, probably in the first seven rounds of your fantasy football drafts, but we think he could actually finish higher than that. Of the top five guys that are going, the top five rookies that are being drafted in fantasy football drafts this year, you're going to see the three wide receivers that went in the first round this year, right? Or three of the wide receivers that went in the first round, Carnell Tate, Mai Lemon, and Jordan Tyson. And you're going to see two running backs as well. You're going to see Jeremiah Love and Jarian Price, both first round running backs as well.
Now, with Carnell Tate, he is the only one of those five we're going to put on this list. And basically, like I said, we are looking for guys that could return on their actual ranking the best. And with Carnell Tate right now, uh I'm not exactly sure where he's going to go in, you know, more competitive leagues. But right now, he's going somewhere in the fifth round in most like best drafts or competitive leagues for the ADP that we do have. I think in your casual leagues, this happens every year with rookies, in your ESPN leagues, in your Yahoo leagues. I think Carnell Tate is a guy who's going to go seventh, eighth round of those drafts and he steps into a Tennessee wide receiver room that I mean is just completely wide open. You remember last year I mean you did have Calvin Ridley there but Elio Manor was having games where he would get a lot of points. Chim DK was having games where he would return special teams touchdowns and have a lot of points there. But the vacated volume there, the number of targets available to the new guys coming in is astronomical. It's off the charts. They basically rebuilt their wide receiver room this off season. They grabbed Carnell Tate in the draft, right? He was a top five pick in the NFL draft. That level of draft capital means something, by the way. But they also went and got Juan Dale Robinson, who's a guy that I think as a as a late round pick in fantasy football drafts, we'll also like this year as well. But these guys are complimentary pieces, right? Carnell Tate is going to do a little bit of everything. Wandell Robinson is more of a PPR merchant. If you play in PPR leagues, he's been pretty good for you the last couple of years. Uh but but also has some yakability there as well. These guys are going to complement each other very well and they're going to be the clear onetwo punch there in Tennessee with secondyear quarterback Cam Ward. Obviously Cam Ward didn't do super well last year. Everybody knows that the situation was really bad. Um he did have some moments where he looked good and had some bright spots. I think this year they're going to build on that and obviously uh bringing in Brian Dable to be the offensive coordinator there was the offensive coordinator in New York. The offense was never really the problem in New York. I would say it was more culture and defense than anything in in in with for the New York Giants when he was the head coach, but he's, you know, as we know from when he was uh with the Buffalo Bills as well, he he is a plenty capable play caller, Brian Dable is, and so I expect him to get the most out of Cam Ward and Cam Ward's skill set. I think you could see a big jump forward for Cam Ward this year. Um, under Dable and under, of course, Robert Sal, the head coach. And with that, I think comes a lot of production for these two wide receivers. And Carnell Tate, I mean, everybody has to admit that Carnell Tate has more upside than Wondell Robinson from a fantasy football perspective. Again, anytime you have somebody who goes in the top five of the NFL draft, their ceiling from a fantasy perspective is usually very high. And again, right now, even like on the expert consensus fantasy football rankings over on Flock Fantasy, which you can get for free down in the link below, Carnell Tate is going as the wide receiver 27. So, he's being drafted as the wide receiver, a a wide receiver three in fantasy football. Now, I do understand that that's his most likely outcome is to be like a uh wide receiver three somewhere maybe high in wide receiver two, but a lot of times in fantasy football when you get down into the ranges of like rounds five, six, and seven, you want to be drafting based on ceiling, right? You want to take upside shots. You know, we're drafting in the flock league. We're going to we could potentially win $100,000 this year in that league if we do it if we do it right. Carnell Tate's a guy that he's being drafted as a wide receiver three, but he could be a high-end wide receiver too, potentially a low-end wide receiver one. We obviously don't know what his upside is. There's obviously, you know, a ton of risk associated with drafting any rookie. So, that needs to be applied to every guy we talk about in this video, but when you're talking about a top five pick in Carl Tate, somebody who's looked at generally as a very good wide receiver prospect, going to a situation with a secondyear quarterback that's primed to make a jump with a new offensive coordinator with tons of vacated volume. It seems like the stars are aligning for there to be at least a chance that Carnell Tate has better has a better season than what people are expecting. If that does happen, you're getting him at a really good price, especially again in casual in home leagues where he's going to be pushed down boards. You're going to get him in the sixth, seventh, eighth round. And he could end up being, you know, a fifth, fourth or fifth round pick when it's all said and done pretty easily. And I think the ceiling could be even higher than that. Again, with rookies, they're always unknown. There's a ton of risk. But Tate is one guy in this class that I think has the most immediate volume opportunity that could return on his price better than almost any pick in that range in terms of ceiling.
>> Next guy we're gonna have here is another wide receiver who was drafted into the Cleveland Browns this off season. Casey Conpsion, the first guy off the board, not Denzel Boston. Um is somebody who I think skill setwise is actually going to fit how that offense wants to operate under Todd Monin as the new play caller we expect. um very very well. And I I know the biggest question mark that a lot of people are going to have with this situation is again like do you really want to invest in a bunch of players and what's expected to be a bad team overall with bad quarterback play? And I would say beyond the top options at the running back and wide receiver position, you're probably not going to want to invest in many people beyond that. But I do think that there are actually some intriguing fantasy assets on that roster this season and Casey Conpsion is probably the best bang for your buck option to invest in. Obviously Judkins is going to go where he's going to go in the top four rounds. Um Harold Fannon is going to go as a projected like top six to eight tight end. And Conpsion is going to be someone who you're probably going to find at least when I'm looking at like expert consensus here. He's going to be going somewhere in the ninth round. We have him ranked right at the beginning of the ninth round as well. And I think that's a pretty good shot to take this season. When you're looking at um Todd Monkin and the way that he liked to call plays for Baltimore over the last few years, um there usually was one focal point at the wide receiver position and beyond that it was a it was pretty evenly spread out across the board. And what you saw is kind of just a step forward every single year from an efficiency perspective for Z Flowers from year 1 to year three. Zay Flowers was really your your your big focal point there in that offense. And by big focal point, I don't mean a guy who's commanding like 140 plus targets. Like it is pretty modest target volume. Anywhere from 100 to 120 targets is what you were expecting from a guy like Flowers in Baltimore's offense with again a Russian QB in Lamar Jackson. The one really positive thing that we did see from Flowers though, pretty much right out the gate as a rookie is his he he got a decent amount of touchdown opportunity. He ended up with five touchdowns that season. He averaged over 11 yards per reception and had like 850 yards on just under 110 targets. This is really, really encouraging. Again, when you see this offensive system kind of be translated to a situation in Cleveland where they're not going to have a rushing upside QB like Lamar Jackson, they are expected to be down in a lot more games than than teams like Baltimore who oftentimes are kind of in a slugfest. Sometimes those are lower scoring games where they like to establish the run and then kind of finish out the second half by, you know, running out the clock because they've got a lead or whatever. You're not going to see that with Cleveland this year. I think what the upside for Casey Conpsion in this offense is it's it's not going to be the level of quarterback play whether it's Deshun Watson or Shador Sanders. It's going to be the target volume that is going to be available there with how often they're expected to be down. If you uh wanted an example from this or or of this from like last season, I think the Arizona Cardinals were a great example of this. Jacobe Brassette was one of the highest passing volume quarterbacks in the NFL over the second half of the season because of how highscoring so many of those games were because Arizona went down multiple possessions within like the first quarter and a half almost every single game. So they're forced to throw the ball like crazy every single possession which would drive up the scoreboard and drive up the production of Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison at times, Trey McBride pretty much every single week. I I mean this is a really good opportunity for a guy like Conpsion whose skill set is to work the the shorts intermediate area of the field primarily and then Boston is going to be your outside wide receiver. I don't trust Shador Sanders or Deshun Watson or whoever's playing quarterback there to get the ball consistently accurately down the field to a guy like Dunzel Boston. I do trust Todd Monkin to basically use his play calling ability to scheme up opportunities for Conpsion consistently, which I do think could result in a very Z Flowersesque rookie season, which is like anywhere from 100 to 110 targets. And you're probably looking anywhere from like I I would say a floor of like 700 yards to a ceiling of like just under probably just under a thousand. And you're looking at a guy who probably has like low-end wide receiver to upside. I wouldn't be shocked if Conpion finishes as like a high-end wide receiver 3 and ends up being a really solid flex option for you this season just given that situation given the the historical uh metrics that we've seen from number one wide receivers in Monkin's offense over the last couple of years and how he likes to operate there and again factor in the fact that they're going to be down very often that just means more passing volume that just means more opportunities for the receivers there primarily Casey Conpsion so keep an eye on him if you can get him at a bargain price um in the ninth round or Maybe even later, I'd be taking a shot there.
>> Yeah, I like Casey. I like Nick Singleton this year as well. Right now, he would be going like end of the 12th round or something like that. And most fantasy drafts, you're talking, especially like 12 team fantasy drafts, talking about drafting 12 to 15 rounds. Here's what you need to know about Nick Singleton. Nick Singleton is an athletic beast. He is 6' 225 pounds. He's a big dude that ran a 435 at the combine. He was drafted in the fifth round. went to the Titans out of Penn State. Uh, this dude specialized as a wide receiver in college. In each of his last three years in college, he had more than 200 receiving yards and 24 or more receptions in each of those years as well. Average about 10 yards per reception in all three of those years and had eight receiving touchdowns over his last three years as well. He played four years at Penn State. So, a receiving profile that when you're talking about fantasy football and PPR and half PPR leagues can really make you kind of say, "Oh, this guy might be worth a selection." He goes to a running back room in Tennessee where Tony Pard has actually been much better than people uh seem to remember. He had a thousand yards this year. He's also had a thousand yards for the each of the last four years if I remember correctly. And so he averaged 4.5 yards per carry. The touchdowns never come for Tony Pard. Part of this was how bad the offense was. I think the offense generally is going to score more touchdowns this year, but that was always the problem with Tony Pard and why he was borderline flex is because he, you know, crawled overund crawled over 1,000 yards. A lot of the receiving usage went to Tai Spears and he didn't score many touchdowns. So his floor was super duper low and his ceiling was capped. Right now Ty Spears on the other hand, you know, he got a fraction of the carries that Tony Pard did last year. It was 242 to 72 in terms of or favoring Tony Pard. Worth noting Tai Spears missed four games last year. But what you are looking at for Ty Spears is in his 13 games he had 45 receptions on 50 targets for 264 yards. Uh did not have a receiving touchdown though. and they brought in Nick Singleton in the fifth round. Nick Singleton rated in in our bakery uh which we use for dynasty fantasy football analysis as the fourth best um or fourth analytically best running back prospect in this class. They brought him in uh in the fifth round of the NFL draft. And I don't think they would have done that unless there was a chance he was going to get on the field this year. The big risk versus reward when you get down into this range of fantasy football drafts is you're drafting people you are almost certainly going to cut after the first couple of weeks. And so taking the best calculated shots when you get late in drafts is one way to get give yourself a huge advantage over your league mates. Uh for example, last year uh I was drafting late in drafts and and I was debating between uh Jakori Kroski Merritt in like the 14th round and Eff Chisum who was a wide receiver for the Patriots that ended up not even making the roster. My mind was in the right place that I was considering all of these uh rookie running backs that could be in a committee and I ended up taking the wide receiver. I should have just taken the running back and I made a mistake because Jakir Kroski Merritt would have return on investment way more for me. More than zero is more than anything, right? And so that would have helped me quite a bit and those are the types of picks. JCM is a perfect example. There was some training camp buzz for him last year. Um so people were already starting to maybe throw him in like 14 15 rounds of their drafts. Ended up being true because that ended up being a wide open running back room once Ekkler got hurt and Jakoy Costarin ended up having much more value and even having some flexible games for you. This is why rookie running backs that could be a part of a committee are generally good dart throws when you get late in fantasy football drafts. You add in the fact that this guy has receiving upside which will give him a higher floor if he were to get a role. He's athletic so he's gotten, you know, just general archetype upside as well. And he goes to a running back room. While I think Tony Pard has been better than what people remember this year or the last couple years, I think there's not a single soul on this planet that would argue that this is a locked down running back room with Tony Pard and Ta Spears. I do not think the Titans are married to the idea of giving these two all of the work this year. And I think Nick Singleton could be a guy that steps in and takes some work from Tai Spears. And if Tony Per gets hurt, I think you could see him have a pretty big role. Regardless, it's generally a good idea to roster these types of running backs anyways, guys who could be parts of committees. But when you're talking about a guy that goes to a running back room with this much opportunity, he's one injury away from having significant value in fantasy football. So late in drafts this year, I'm going to be targeting a lot of these rookie running backs. We'll talk about I think at least one more of them in this video. Uh I'm going to be actually no, this is the only rookie running back we have on here. And I'm going to be targeting, you know, guys like Jonah Coleman as well late in these drafts, right? These are these are some other guys that you know I think are are going to be pretty good return on investments. And so uh with with Singleton I think he's worth a shot where you're getting them and it's all about trying to hit on value there. I think Singleton could potentially carve out a role this year in the Tennessee Titans offense.
So, pretty much every single year, we always end up deciding to select like one or two rookie tight ends that we think are really good late round shots to take if you're gonna uh go into your draft with a strategy where you expect to kind of fade tight end as a whole, not get an elite guy and just take some later round shots. And what I think is a really really good strategy to have is if you select a guy like Kenyan Sadi, you just supplement him with another Hunter Henry selection in like the almost irrelevant range. Um, when you're talking about like the investment that you have to spend when you select some of these guys in anywhere like from the 13th round to beyond like Kenyan Sadi right now according to expert consensus and our rankings like Kenyan Sadi is probably going to go in that range like 13th to 15th round because if we're being totally honest this is another offense another situation that is very much in limbo to to be nice honestly when you're talking about the Jets offense and the situation that you're looking at this season. I will say I do expect it to be quite a bit better than what we saw last year because Justin Fields as a passer has uh massive massive deficiencies. Like pretty much anyone beyond the number one receiving option in any offense that we've ever seen with Justin Fields is not going to be productive period. Um and and that ranged true last season when you saw Garrett Wilson who is a top 12 wide receiver before he went down with the injury for the rest of the year. Um and then they shut him down for the rest of the season because they weren't playing for anything. This year you're looking at a different situation with Gino Smith where we have seen historically Smith in good situations and bad situations alike. Provide a really impressive amount of passing volume. I mean, you've seen two of the last four years he's had 4,200 or more passing yards. Um with a good amount of touchdown volume there as well, his best one being 30 touchdowns in 2022 with Seattle. And he's had around 20 touchdowns uh the the last three years as well. Look, this is a promising situation for a good number of receiving assets in this offense, but I do think schematically, Kenny and Sadi is going to be probably the best non-Garrett Wilson receiving upside shot that you would want to take in your fantasy drafts this season because of how cheap he is. You could make a case for Omar Cooper as well. Um, you probably going to have to choose one of Kenyan Sadik or Omar Cooper. I think in terms of like positional value and positional upside, there's more room for Kenyan Sadi to like make a lot of noise at the tight end position because to get from like tight end 25 to a top 10 tight end in in fantasy like it it just doesn't take that much. You it doesn't take that much to go from irrelevant waiver level to like relevant. You want to look at probably starting every single week. What this reminds me of a lot honestly is um Sam Leaporter's rookie season years back. Um, we were taking a lot of shots um on on Sam Laaporta in a lot of our best drafts and a lot of our regular drafts too. And again, similar to like a Hunter Henry or something, we were just supplementing that rookie tight end with Hunter Henry, with a Jawan Johnson, with somebody that we knew was going to most likely be like a top 16 tight end that you could stream week in and week out. And the nice thing is if if a Sadi doesn't work out, you end up dropping him by like week six. And if he does work out, you end up dropping the other guy that you supplemented with him. and he ends up being actually a guy that you can depend on every single week. I'm not expecting Kenyan Sadique in this situation with Frank Reich as a play caller to be a Brock Bower as a Tyler Warren or have a massive massive breakout like Coulson Lovelin. What I do think is very possible and in play is with Gino Smith's volume and the way that we have uh come to know and love and kind of be annoyed with Frank Reich's play calling as you know Colts fans um is that Reich does like to integrate his tight end specifically and he likes he really really likes giving opportunities to like the true athletes on his team and Sadique is going to be one of the better athletes. It's why they drafted him 16th overall in the NFL draft um to to get opportunities I think as early as this season. We're gonna have to watch and monitor. I will add this. You're gonna have to watch and monitor the uh surgery, offseason hip surgery that Kenyan Sadi did have. It was supposed to be a cleanup surgery, something that they were aware of. But it is a decent recovery timetable where they're hoping he's going to be ready for training camp. if this rehab kind of like extends to a point where he isn't really available for a majority of training camp and is even in question like at the very beginning of the season, you might be looking at Sadi being borderline waiver level depending on some of the uh shallow formats that you might be playing in in reddraft. But ultimately, I do think in general, he's going to be a pretty solid shot to take that really is like all reward, no risk. Because at the end of the day, how many guys that you draft in the 13th round or later actually end up being like big time role players for your starting lineup? In fact, how many of you guys get past like the 15th round in in your reddraft leagues? Like, there aren't a lot of formats and there aren't a lot of leagues that go any deeper than that. So, um I I I think it's something that again you'll want to keep an eye on. You'll want to monitor heading into training camp. Um and remember Frank Reich again historically has liked to at least integrate at at least a couple of tight ends in his offense if he doesn't have a star tight end. And he will hyperfocus on one tight end if he does have a star tight end specifically. I do think that's in the cards this year for Sadiq. Um the upside can be in question because the situation is so bad. But I do think the floor is actually a bit higher than people are giving Sadique credit for.
People want to talk about Jarian Price like he's just Kenneth Walker, but he's not just Kenneth Walker. This is a completely different player going into an offense that is now going to be completely changed uh with Clint Kubak going to the Raiders and becoming the head coach there. Now you get a new offensive coordinator in Seattle in a brand new system. Not to mention this coaching staff, this coaching staff just drafted Jadarian Price in the first round. They did not draft Zack Charbanet and they didn't draft Kenneth Walker last year when they were playing him either. They did sign uh Emanuel Wilson which you know maybe you could say yeah I think Emanuel Wilson's going to get a lot of run this year but people are treating Jerian Price generally and his his his short-term outlook like he is just going to get the Kenneth Walker treatment which is funny because there's a huge double standard there. Kenneth Walker was consistently drafted, very high, top four rounds in fantasy football drafts as a Seahawk. Even though year after year after year, we showed the same exact thing with Kenneth Walker, his workload and his ability to stay or inability to stay on the field, but people continue to draft him. But as soon as we get another running back in that situation, Jadarian Price is uh is basically just Kenneth Walker. He's not going to get a lot of work. Now, a lot of this comes from from um you know, our work on the dynasty side of things where people are just low on him generally because I don't know why because they because they didn't want to watch this film and and then they just want to say he's bad. But but here's what you need to know about Jerian Price is going to an offense where Zack Shar tore his ACL last year closer to the end of the season. You know, the reason Kenneth Walker was getting so much work at the end of the year last year is because Zack Charmin tore his ACL and he was out, right? And so Charbanet is probably not going to be back for week one. And even if he is, he is not going to be anywhere near full strength for the first half of the season at least. So what that leaves on the depth chart here in Seattle, it's going to leave Jadarian Price and and Emanuel Wilson like that you are going to see um you're going to see both of those guys probably get a fair amount of work. And I I will admit to you like I think that I think that Emanuel Wilson is is relevant in this offense. Like I do not think he is just a nothing pushover. I think that he is going to be somebody that gets some work, especially splitting with Jadearian Price this year. But I do think that Jadarian Price being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft at pick 32 this year. I think he is the favorite to come out and lead that backfield in terms of carries, especially at the beginning of the year. So, this may be something where if you play in a fantasy football league where you can trade a lot and you don't actually believe in Jiren Price, he might be a good flip candidate. I think the reason is Price is what it is right now. He's going uh somewhere in the uh around the fifth round, right? Am I correct? Is somewhere in the fifth round for Jerryian Price. Fifth, sixth round. I think again in this is where in >> format dependent >> in ESPN, Yahoo, home leagues like you're going to see this guy go seventh, eighth, ninth round. He's going to be a slam dunk pick here. It's going to be a lot of rookies to be honest with you. But Price is one that is going to go cheaper than a Jeremiah Love who's going to go in the top three rounds in almost every format. Probably top two rounds in most formats. And Price is going to be the guy that does slide. and and Price 5'11, 210 pounds, was the backup running back for Jeremiah Love at Notre Dame last year and was still productive until they decided to give Love almost all of the work to try to get him the Heisman Trophy last year. Ultimately, it failed because Mendoza is the GOAT. And so, that's kind of his background from a from from a prospect perspective. He's not the strongest first round running back prospect we've ever seen drafted, but in our opinion, he's definitely good enough. And I think people are underestimating the role that he could have early on in this Seattle Seahawks offense where you do have all of Kenneth Walker's carries vacated. Again, I think people are assuming with a brand new offensive system going in there, brand new offensive coordinator and a brand new running back that this coaching staff actually has some say in. I think that people are just assuming it's the Kenneth Walker treatment for Jiren Price. And the Kenneth Walker experience has not been a good one. But this is not Kenneth Walker. It's a different player. Kenneth Walker, ask any Seahawks fan. Kenneth Walker did not get consistent carries because when he got those Bellcow carries, he showed an inability to stay healthy and stay on the field. That is a Kenneth Walker specific problem that is going to bleed over by the way to the Kansas City Chiefs. That is not a Jarian Price problem. I would assume, and I think you should assume this as well, if Kenneth Walker and that offense had been able to stay healthy with a work load that is higher than, you know, splitting that backfield 50-50, he would have gotten more carries because he was the better back when he was on the field between him and Sharon. I'm a Charbanet fan, but he was the better back. Again, the Seahawks coaching staff knew that they could not give Kenneth Walker all those carries because he could not stay healthy. It has been his entire career. That is not a Price problem. It is a new offense, a brand new running back, and a brand new bill of health. It's all you need to say that Jiren Price could return on his value, if not even more. And again, I think people are are a little bit lower on price shortterm. I am not. I think Price could end up being an impact player this year. And I think depending on where you're getting him, if you're getting him late enough, he could be somebody you flex on a week- toeek basis, you feel good about it because at the end of the day, he's on an offense that's a good offense. He is a running back. He's a better than a warm body getting carries. He's a good running back prospect that went in the first round that is going to be getting a lot of I think a good amount of carries, more carries than people think in this offense. And to me, that seems worth drafting um as early as the fifth, sixth round in more competitive leagues. But if you're getting them even later than that, I think it's a slam dunk.
If you remember last year, one of the uh sexiest picks, borderline irrelevant picks that people like to take shots on near the very very end of their draft was Jakori Kroski Merritt. And that ended up being something that really paid off compared to where you invested in him. He ended up being a guy that a lot of times during the season ended up barely being flexible, but he was relevant enough where he absolutely was rosterable pretty much for the entirety of the season. And that I think was a really good case study for the types of guys that we like you guys to take shots on in the 15th round and beyond. Chris Bell is not a guy that you're considering any earlier than the 15th round, but there's some legitimate upside opportunity to be had there with, might I add, a number of other receivers in that offense since literally no one is there. When you look at the depth chart, it's pretty much all depth and no top option in Miami's offense this season. Um they they gave Malik Willis no options to throw the ball to. So it's like Malik Washington, Jaylen Raer they just signed. Taj Washington, Donovan Mccolley, AJ Henning, Kevin Coleman, Jaylen Tolbert, Terrace Marshall, Chris Bell 22 out, Theo Wise, Caleb Douglas. I mean half of those guys aren't going to be on the roster when it's all said and done to start the season. The guys that are very notable here are Malik Washington, Kevin Coleman, Chris Bell, and Caleb Douglas and maybe 22 Atwell and maybe Jaylen Tolbert. like those are the guys that we probably expect to make the team when it's all said and done. And I think the most interesting rookie here is going to be Chris Bell because Chris Bell, even though he was drafted after Caleb Douglas was in the NFL draft, both of them being third round selections, the reason Chris Bell ended up being a later third round selection, is not because he's less talented as a prospect than Caleb Douglas is. Like you could, I think, at the very least argue that they're equivalent in terms of talent potential. Chris Bell fell in the NFL draft because he's coming off of an ACL tear. And that's the biggest concern with Bell is he might start the season on the Pup list. We don't really know exactly what his recovery timetable is here. We're hoping that he can get some reps in training camp and kind of build chemistry with Malik Willis there, but ultimately like we just don't really know. I think this is a good shot to take again in the dang near irrelevant range for a guy like Chris Bell or you could honestly insert any of the rookie wide receivers here. Kevin Coleman, who's an exclusive slot, and Caleb Douglas, who's a we don't know. Like, all of these guys drafted by the Ma Miami Dolphins this season. People make fun of the Dolphins for not investing in wide receiver this year after they traded away Jaylen Wadd. I mean, why would they? They're not expecting Willis to be a long-term option. Like, they're they're going to ride with who they have this season. And that probably merits one maybe one and a half of this guy of these guys being maybe flex worthy plays pops. So, you kind of just have to take your shot. And I think our shot that we're gonna take here is going to be the talent play. And the talent play in our opinion is going to be Chris Bell. I think Chris Bell is the highest upside shot that you can probably take of the wide receiver junk that that you're looking at here with Miami this season. Um because of the role that he could potentially operate in in Miami's offense. I do think that some people kind of believe that he's going to be attributed to being primarily an outside kind of X-Type wide receiver who might end up being primarily a deep threat. I personally think he can do a little bit more than that. I think he can work the intermediate area of area of the field. There is a chance that like I mean the wide receiver one in that offense could very well and likely be Devon Achan. Like legitimately I don't know how capable Malik Willis is of really throwing the football more than like 15 times a game. We could be seeing a Justin Fields type situation where maybe just no one ends up being that productive there. That probably is like the most likely outcome for Miami's offense. But in the event that it ends up working out for one of these guys to an extent where they end up being a flex worthy play, the value payoff that you're going to get from taking a a shot on a guy like Chris Bell in the 15th round or later is going to be worth it. And again, it's no sweat if it doesn't work out because odds are the guys that you're taking in the 15th round or later are going to end up being dropped at some point in the season for insurance plays for guys uh that you did a big waiver bid on um in the middle of the season because they were a backup running back who's now thrown into a starting role because the lead running back ahead of them ended up being uh or ended up getting injured. Like that's going to be the most likely outcome um for a number of the these receivers that you take shots on in the later part of your drafts. But, uh, this is one that we like shooting our shot here and seeing if something sticks at the very beginning of the year. And if it does for Chris Bell, uh, you're you're playing with a with some potential gold.
>> So, I'll reiterate, not the guys that we're going to think the be the five most productive rookies this year, but guys that we think could return on value the best. That's kind of what we're looking for. Most of these guys or a good chunk of these guys aren't going to do anything this year, but we're trying to find the diamonds in the rough as well.
