Joined today by my good friend, Jacob Gibbs. And get excited. It is Puka Nakua Day. You can see the smile on Jacob's face. No one's more excited about this than he is. Yeah, man. So good to be Puka Nakua Day. Like, wow. I was really excited for him all off season, obviously. And now we're actually here and it's still a little surreal. I've had a number of tweets that have come in

before I even mentioned, but that's like going to be kind of the highlight of what we talk about. And we'll get to it in just a minute. Of course, we've got the big Nick Chubb news. That's what we'll talk about first. We've got some deep waiver wire ads for you a little later in the show. We'll talk about some dynasty risers and fallers and a couple of wide receiver duos on the same team that I have ranked very close to each other and kind of struggle with who I prefer. We'll get Jacob's definitive answer on that. But first, we have to start with the bad news. An absolutely gruesome injury to Nick Chubb last night. Obviously, first, we hope he's okay. And hopefully he recovers and we get to see him play football. He's been arguably the best runner in the NFL since he entered the league.

And now turning 28 in another month or two season ending some sort of surgery coming jacob um i guess well let's start with with the angle of that that like people might might be actionable what do you think this backfield looks like without shub it was pretty much all jerome ford on monday night and i think that they really like jerome ford all all summer they had the opportunity to go get someone else they let Kareem walk um Kareem Hunt there were plenty of running backs they could have signed and Jerome Ford was injured leading up all through preseason and everything and they didn't the only acquisition they made was going and getting Pierre Strong for really cheap

and I I think that they're pretty committed to him and so I I'm pretty excited about him. I liked him as a prospect. He profiles pretty strongly. And obviously, we saw the big play potential last night. Yeah, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see if they sign somebody. I did see some suggestions they might be in the Cam Akers market. Yeah. I don't know that we have much reason to think cam acres is better than jerome ford right now um there's i have a i've seen a lot of people speculating on kareem hunt obviously but they

already chose jerome ford over kareem hunt once this season so i don't i i am more working under the assumption that it might be like a 60 30 maybe like what it's been with chubb and hunt in the past with ford in that chub role, except maybe catching more passes. Probably a borderline number two. Listen, we've had a lot of backup running backs who have disappointed us already in the first two weeks of the NFL season. So there's some concern there. But do you view Ford more as someone who might get this job and then become a starting running back for a three or four year stretch or do you think this is a he's like a patchwork guy for 2023 probably a patchwork guy um he doesn't

necessarily profile as a three-down guy he's a fifth round pick um so he's exciting he's got the opportunity here i do think he's got some juice but yeah i wouldn't go overboard with it so when jk dobbbins tore his Achilles, well, I guess it was a week ago, two weeks ago, somebody had him on their roster and they basically sent out a blast. They were tilting. He said, first person to offer me a fourth round pick for J.K. Dobbins, you can have him.

And so I sent a fourth round pick. Put him on the IR. We'll see if he's able to play football again. But Chubb, he's been healthy except for that injury in college. Now, this is a pretty major knee injury. Like I said, he'll turn 28 before this year turns to 2024. Do you have any hope on, like, this is the kind of guy, and I got a tweet earlier, said I had stashed Jerome Ford just for this moment. I am tanking this year.

Somebody offered. I put him on the block as soon as this happened last night. Somebody offered me Nick Chubb for him in a dynasty league. I don't know that I want to take that. That's really interesting. I think I prefer the long-term outlook for chubb still um it's tough we don't know exactly what he's gonna be when he's when he gets back but i don't think nick chubb is somebody whose ability is necessarily predicated on his athleticism i think he could still be a really good running back even if he doesn't have

quite as much juice i think fundamentally he's one of the best running backs we've ever seen um so i want to believe that is really interesting comparing the two yeah well yeah because like obviously if you're like if you're factoring in this year ford gets a big boost from the fact that you could actually use him but just looking at it from next year forward, I just don't know. I think the other thing is, obviously, that relationship with Chubb and the Browns seems pretty special. And so I would assume they will get it worked out. But I believe he has a $4 million dead cap hit after this year, and he has a $15 million contract next year. So he's going to be in that Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook conversation next offseason of,

does he take the pay cut to stay on the Browns because they're not paying him what his current contract would call for. Yeah. And for everything I just said about him as a player, like it's really hard for aging running backs to remain relevant if they don't catch passes and stay on the field and passing downs. Yeah.

Any interest? We'll talk about some deeper waiver wire guys and Pierre Strong's on that list. Any interest in adding Strong this week in Dynasty Leagues? Obviously, you're not putting a big fab bid out there, but is he a guy you want to have on the roster in case something happens to Ford now? Yeah. Similarly to Ford, Strong was somebody that I've been stashing. You like to stash these backup running backs that could be something. then he got traded we actually had a couple dynasty teams with both of them and he got traded to cleveland and i ended up dropping him in a few spots to clear space which is frustrating now i think he's worth an ad for sure um i think we

could see him working more as he gets more familiar with the system we will put him on the list now that was uh not the not the happiest way obviously to start the start the show, but it's Puka Nakua time, and Thomas has a nice transition here for us. He had the highest yard per route run rate of any player in this class. In fact, among players who qualified, who have at least 500 routes run in their career, his yard per route run rate is higher than anyone other than Jalen Waddell among receivers taken in the first five rounds over the last five years. So higher than T Higgins, Jamar Chase, Adria Brown, Devante Smith, CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nakua. So maybe a name to know because the Rams really, I mean, after Cooper Cup,

we really have no idea who's going to get the targets. Nice tanked up. That was from May on Fantasy Football Today today i have show notes and i didn't go back and pull the show on this show fantasy all the day dynasty we were talking in june with dwayne mcfarland about puka nakua and being a dynasty buy and go get him so this is a guy that you've been talking about basically since the draft. He's been talked about a lot on this show. And I love this time of year because you can legitimately take a side here. What he's done in the first two weeks of the season, earning 30 targets and second in the NFL in receiving yards,

even you didn't think that was going to happen, even if Cooper Cup was out. But now we've got this strange thing, and I posted a Dynasty poll this morning. Puka Nakua, Jahan Dotson, or Christian Watson. Puka's got about 50% of the vote, just mopping the floor with those guys. I don't know how really to rank this guy,

and so you're going to help me with that i've got three questions we always do the three questions for jacob gives three questions for chris towers we got three questions about pukunakua and these are kind of the three things that go into my dynasty rankings and then i'm going to tell you when we're done where i had them and you tell me if i'm crazy um Rest of season projections for Puka Nakua, and you don't have to give me a number. Where is he wide receiver-wise? If Cooper Cup comes back week five and everything's fine, or if Cooper Cup doesn't ever really become Cooper Cup again this year?

If Cup doesn't come back and isn't fine, I think Nakua is legitimately like top 20 fantasy receiver is totally realistic i've got him at wide receiver 15 this week he can fill so many roles and he's clearly the guy like and the the role that he's getting with the first three targets and everything else the percentage of everything he's getting he's he's counted for 45 of the receiving yards while he's been on the field it's just absurd like it's that's wide receiver one stuff um if when cup is back i still dan and i have talked about this quite a bit dan schneier on beyond the box score i still think he can play a really relevant role like he's

somebody we saw used in a lot of different ways creatively in college he can be used as a rusher the rams have gotten them involved that way a little bit so far um he can work down the field in the intermediate area and then like we saw last week he can do kind of the cooper cup stuff and really just kill zones so i think he's going to be the starting flanker when cup is back and still be pretty involved so you think uh wide receiver you said top 20 without cup, 36-ish with Cup? I think that's about right, yeah. I mean, that is contingent on the Rams continuing to look good offensively, Stafford continuing to be healthy.

If everything's functioning well and Cup is back, I think he still could be relevant. Okay, so I've got a number that I assign for a player's long-term dynasty upside. It's not completely tethered to this year. It's just like, in the next three years, what's this guy's reasonable upside? Let's say 80th percentile. You don't have to give me a number because you don't know what my scale is.

But give me a few guys who you think Nakua's upside matches up pretty well to over the next three years. Things go right right um jayden reed is somebody who i and we're definitely going to talk about today i think that they're comparable i want to think of some guys who aren't not rookies right yeah um i think maybe elijah moore is a decent comparison somebody like that that can do fill a lot of different roles and has shown some encouraging data points so far but it's a small

sample size john dodson honestly i think the results in that poll that you posted are absolutely absurd and i'm about as big of a puka nuku a-truther as you'll find. But people are so quick to just give up on Jahan Dotson. And it's like, this guy is really, really good. He's not in a situation that's necessarily very conducive to fantasy success right now. But don't sleep on Jahan Dotson. We had Matt Harmon on Beyond the Box score this summer. He's another guy who likes Puka Nuku as well.

And he just is enamored with Jahan Dotson and what he's seen from him. And Matt, he's seen from him he's and matt's he's just so good at evaluating wide receivers and finding brandon iuk is the latest guy who's just like absolutely broken out um and is much better than people realize and has been for years um so yeah i think dotson i would rather have um the nakua what about christian watson because he was the other guy in the poll watson's who i voted for i think the upset for watson like way higher than anything you're getting from nakua and i love nakua but yeah it's really hard for me and this is i think a a good talking point right now like

i think there's people out there that see a rookie gets earned 30 targets in his first two nfl games and here's this player has a lot more upside and they're like how is that possible how can you have like and that's the thing is like we're talking about reasonable upside not 99 outcomes for all these guys but and this obviously has been so far maybe even we didn't even think it was on the chart but like it's trying to figure out what his upside is based on this type of start the the framework the framework in the offensive environment that he's operating within right now is literally like perfect for just producing target volume like the rams have had a ton of plays matthew stafford feeds his wide receiver one we've seen this with so many different guys like what happened to kenny galladay as soon as he got not attached to matthew stafford and just

in terms of volume like i i love nuku but yeah i don't think we should go overboard with it here i think michael pittman is maybe another good comparison from a profile standpoint like somebody who within the right system can be a fantasy wide receiver one and is legitimately a good player can be used in a lot of different ways um but i don't think has the upside to push into like the top 10 top 12 and then do you do you think he's helped his floor case at all in his first two weeks or do you still think there's a pretty low floor over the next three years for nikua i think the only reason to be concerned about the floor is one we haven't been able to see him stay healthy at any point and like actually put together a full season even at the college level.

And then, two, it's just a small sample size. But those are both just things you have to bake in in terms of risk. In terms of what we've seen from him as a player and the role that he fills, I think there's really no floor concerns. I lied. I said three questions, but we're going to keep going on Puconico. It does kind of sound like you're open to the idea that the best course of action based on everybody else's value of them in reaction to the last two weeks is to sell Puka and Dynasty. I am in some places. I don't think you want to go out of your way to sell them, but

I think it's reasonable to hear people out if people come looking to trade for him like absolutely i would engage in that 2024 first i i don't think so unless it's a pick you think has a chance to turn to marvin harrison or something because like yeah if i if puka nakua is as good as christian watson or johan dotson like i think that's more valuable than that at first. Right. Well, I think that's the interesting thing is comparing him not just to the wide receivers in this class,

but the wide receivers to the last class. I'm just going to ask you one more, because I know you're not quite as high on the put him in the Jahan Dotson, Christian Watson conversation. So what if the poll was a little different? I didn't do this poll on twitter because puka would win 90 but if it was george pickens puka nakua and quentin johnston that would be nakua for me um yeah i yeah i've got pretty serious concerns with both of those guys although

it was really exciting when we saw from pickens last night right we're going to talk about that more and you mentioned the the first read looks for pickens we you don't have that information yet we'll have that tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure it's going to be noticeably different. The thing I hesitate with with Pickens is how much do we value that spike in first read target share when the number one is gone? Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a grain of salt they have to take with everything we saw last night but the the big point is that he did it at all we literally haven't seen him be able to do that and we haven't but like so much of that i think you can assign to the role that he's playing

in pittsburgh he ran a go route 39 of the time last year the next highest was 30 over 50 of his routes were go corner or post routes you just don't get targets on those routes those routes the average target per run rate is 12 percent that's so low it's it's just been an impossible role for him to win in and to draw targets in and so like if we see him used as a wide receiver one that at least leaves the upside that that's within his player profile and he's not just marquez valdez gambling i'm glad and he's not just marquez valdez scantling i'm glad that he's not just marquez valdez scantling i do think he is still gabe davis with the worst quarterback but that we'll find out more about that moving forward with dionte johnson now on the ir we're going to get at least three more weeks of george pickens as

we would expect to be this team's wide receiver one. Another piece of news here before we just jump into the waiver wire, David Montgomery, I guess it's not technically news, but he basically came out and said that he thought he needed two to three weeks to let his quad thigh bruise heal. They've already added Bam Knight off the practice squad. So it's Jameer Gibbs. It's Craig Reynolds. It's Bam Knight off the practice squad. So it's Jameer Gibbs, it's Craig Reynolds, it's Bam Knight.

Do you think that we're going to see Jameer Gibbs actually play lead running back here? Or do you think, who has more carries in the next two games? Craig Reynolds plus Bam Knight or Jameer Gibbs? Reynolds and Bam Knight. I hate it. Yeah.

But yeah, I think that's the answer. I think this is opening the door if we get an an underwhelming jameer gibbs performance in week three to to really go by lower than where he was i think if like with montgomery being out of the picture if it's a single digit carry game from gibbs and maybe he doesn't have quite as many forced targets as he had last week. Um, I, I do think that we're going to see just a little bit of panic creeping in. Yeah, no, I think that is a really good point. I brought him up as a buy. Um, this wasn't specific to dynasty, but after week two, just because of that very thing, we saw him kind of fill in, but not really fill the full role, you know,

and not do particularly well in week two. And so that is in people's minds. And then if we see this similar thing in week three, I think people might panic, you know, because there's, he's so small that there is a potential that he's like CJ Spiller or something.

Right. If you get somebody worrying about that, I think that's interesting. It would be something if the lions took CJ Spiller at 12th overall, with the way that team is set up for success and the way that division I think that's interesting. It would be something if the Lions took CJ Spiller at 12th overall. With the way that team is set up for success and the way that division looks like it could be theirs for the taking this year, that would be something. We're going to take a short break, then we're going to get to the waiver wire, and maybe we'll be adding Craig Reynolds. What does possible sound like for your business?

Okay, so we'll talk about this. The feedback I got from last week was mostly that we were in just about the right range. So what we're going to try to do, Jacob, with these waiver wire guys is look for guys who are rostered in less than 10% of leagues. We will tell you if somebody's in 25-30% of leagues because we think that they should be 100%. And obviously, Jerome Ford is that guy this week,

27% rostered in CBS leagues, probably rostered in most 12-team dynasty leagues, probably not in a lot of 10-team dynasty leagues. If you see him on your waiver wire and you're not used to finding starter production, is this a guy, if you're a contender, that's worth just 90% of the fab? I think so, no.

A much better situation than what we've seen the last couple of weeks from, like what Joshua Kelly just gave us, right? Yeah, I think that was mostly matchup-based for Kelly. So I don't, yeah, just don't feel too bad if you did spend a lot of fab on him. I think it made sense. With Ford, it's just like the role could be

huge it's totally realistic that like he's the guy they don't sign anyone that's within the range of outcomes and he plays like 60 of the snaps or something right and if he's doing that he's a top 15 or 20 fantasy running back right now and if you get that kind of season from him at how old is he 24 like that's suddenly somebody who's really pretty valuable for dynasty. Well, and especially like, good gosh, we knew coming into this year that there was a changing of the guard happening at running back. I didn't expect half the top 12 to get hurt in the first two weeks of the season. It's been an absolute, like I go good luck finding 12 running backs. You feel really good ranking as an RB one this week. We should all just do a show where we make fun of the guys we have ranked at 10 through 12 because it's an absolute disaster at running back.

Anybody you can find with a role has some appeal. Guys under 10% now. We've got Pierre Strong. We've got Jaleel McLaughlin, who only saw one touch, but it was a touchdown. And I don't know that they're real enamored with Samajai Pirine. I wouldn't be surprised if McLaughlin's touches grow over the coming weeks. You gave Eric Gray and Zach Evans as options. I'm going to throw Craig Reynolds and Bam Knight into that mix.

These are the guys who might actually be on the waiver wire in a deeper league. Do you have a preference? Are you happy with just putting a dollar or two out there for all of them and see which one you get? Yeah, I think of the bunch, the most hypothetical upside belongs with Zach Evans. I actually liked him quite a bit as a prospect. He's somebody who was brought up on that Puka Nuku show in the summer.

The Rams don't seem particularly into him played ronnie rivers ahead of him this week i believe and but they didn't give him any touches he was just a special teams guy and so i think that's kind of interesting sometimes when that happens because like that leaves open the possibility that if he is able to get on the active roster he would be ahead of ronnie rivers and getting the touches yeah um yeah none of the other guys really stand out to me so zach evans is a i'm adding him to my bench and he has the most hypothetical long-term upside but we have a lot of guys who have lost barkley and chubb and have taylor sitting on the pup and like i gotta find somebody to put into my RB two spot this week. And as gross as these names are,

I think, I think if I'm betting on one, it's probably Craig Reynolds this week. Yeah, I think you're right. They've given him opportunities in the past when they do, and he's performed reasonably well. I think they like him.

They've kept him around for three years now or something. So, right. He can absolutely fill Jamal Williams' 2022 shoes and handle the ball 16 times for 60 yards. He runs hard. I like Craig Reynolds. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I think at this stage of their career, and that's another guy who went down on Monday night, Jamal Williams. I don't have a great deal of confidence. I didn't get the, the insinuation that Kendra Miller's close. Did you, I know he got some practices in last week, but it wasn't ever like, Oh, he might go. Um, another guy on this list might be Tony Jones. If you're just looking for one week. Yeah, that's a good call. I forgot about Tony Jones, but yeah, of course, two touchdowns

went to him last night, helping absolutely nobody. Um, he could see some work so at wide receiver i've got uh one guy i actually want to add and then some some lower rostered guys as well josh reynolds is still just rostered in 21 of leagues and like if it's 21 with a rookie you assume that guy is owned in all dynasty leagues but 21 for a guy that's 27 28 years old reynolds might still be available i i hear some people saying well he's going to be good for at least another month until Jamison Williams comes back. I kind of think he's probably going to be better than Jamison Williams when Jamison Williams comes back with that connection to golf and just the little time that Williams

has had in this system. Do you think Josh Reynolds can be a decent flex option for a majority of the rest of the year? Yeah, I don't think he's anything special as a player but um they need somebody to stretch the field i wish they would like make a move and get my kevins or something like that because it's kind of rough watching their offense at times um but yeah i think he is decently fantasy viable at this point he is one of those guys and it's kind of like we have this conversation with running backs a lot jameson williams much

better at stretching the field once he's active because he's he's a lot faster and he can do some really special things but josh reynolds is going to go to the place where jared goff thinks he's going to be because they've played together for like seven years so i i think reynolds is probably going to have some sort of role three other guys that were 11% rostered or less. All veterans. Robert Woods doesn't appear to be going anywhere. At least his targets don't. We'll see if CJ Stroud keeps throwing it 40 times per game, but he's only 11% rostered.

Chase Claypool emerged after almost getting benched. And Darnell Mooney hurt his knee. Eight targets for Claypool last week. And then I kind of think Devontaeer's probably the wide receiver one for the patriots until he gets hurt again he's definitely wide receiver one he didn't come off the field and his first game back which is nuts immediately kindred born snap

rate fell to 50 um yeah i think davante parker is worth an ad if you need somebody right now who are the other two? We just wish Robert Woods. I mean, I love Robert Woods, and he's had a great career, and he was a fantastic value for a couple of years. I don't mean anything negative towards Robert Woods, but maybe somebody could trade for him because I just want all the targets to go to Nico and Tank Dill.

I kind of think that they will. I don't know. I've been really surprised at how involved Robert Woods has been, and I kind of do think those guys are going to take over. Dude, what we saw from Tank this week was really exciting. Absolutely. I absolutely loved it. It's a little bit sad that it took Noah Brown going on the IR for it to happen.

But, yeah, I think if Tank Dell can stay healthy, he's going to be a force. A couple of quarterbacks, one for one quarterback leagues, and he's 30% rostered. This will probably not be well-received. I think the Raiders are going to give Pittsburgh a lot of trouble this week. I think Jimmy

Garoppolo is probably going to. The Steelers' pass rush is fantastic, but they're getting rid of the ball so quick. That's what McDaniels does. That's what Jimmy Garoppolo does. Steelers on a short week traveling to Vegas to face this hungry Raiders team. I wouldn't mind streaming Jimmy Garoppolo in a pinch. And then in the two-quarterback league, go add Gardner Minshew. We all hope that Anthony Richardson gets out of the concussion protocol

and starts this week. But Minshew looked serviceable once again. Yeah, I think those are both good calls. I had Garoppolo as a streamer for this week fantastic um just two really really low rostered tight ends maybe only for your tight end premium leagues but I'm really excited I want to know how you feel about this because it's always that he's getting the work that we want versus the production. Jake Ferguson has, what, seven red zone targets in the first two weeks?

He's also been almost as bad as Kadarius Toney in terms of what he's done when they've actually thrown him the ball. He may be even worse. And Luke Schoonmaker, who was a guy I liked quite a bit coming out and then struggled with injuries all offseason, scored his first touchdown. He's 2% roster.

I think he was early in the process, maybe a third-round rookie pick, and then when he couldn't even get to practice, he kind of fell off the radar. I want to go back and make sure that he's rostered in my deeper dynasty leagues because I do think that Ferguson's handle on that tight end one role might not be

that strong yeah they've been letting Peyton Hendershot play quite a bit Ferguson hasn't played quite as much as I thought and that's not only affected by the blowouts even during the first half his route involvement rate has been lower than I expected so it's possible that somebody creeps in there because like you said he's struggled a little bit been a little inconsistent yeah and then I guess Durham Smythe had eight targets in week one. He caught three passes against the Patriots, who don't ever give up anything to tight ends. Jalen Waddell doesn't seem to be fully healthy at all.

He might be an okay stream. Definitely. Tight end premium leagues, definitely grab him. He doesn't come off the field. He's played 100% of the snaps. Confirmed better than Mike Gasicki? No. no no we're never giving up on mike gasecki uh maybe arthur smith can uh trade for gasecki next year and play him over kyle pitts let's take another short break we'll get some of my risers and fallers jacob sent in some names as well after week two. With Smartwater's pure crisp

taste, there's nothing to overthink. So while you may be spiraling over double texting your crush, whether your skincare routine is working because you look the same or is doing nothing because you look the same and whatever the heck red light therapy is. It's definitely not bad. Don't overthink how you hydrate. Life's full of choices. Smart water is a simple one. Metrolinks and Crosslinks are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress. Please be alert as trains can pass at any time on the tracks.

Remember to follow all traffic signals. Be careful along our tracks, and only make left turns where it's safe to do so. Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. So we are going to do risers and fallers but there's two wide receivers and these guys i think mostly are rising davante smith rose a little bit for me this week um tank dell and nico collins both rising two wide receiver duos here where i have a hard time figuring out who to rank higher um aj brown's been ranked higher by the community than Devontae Smith by a decent margin for most of the last year.

I've kind of gone back and forth and flip-flopped those guys. You look at the last 17 games, 17, including the playoffs, so a full season, Devontae Smith's actually scored slightly more fantasy points than A.J. Brown. He's obviously off to a very fast start here, and he's about a year and a half younger than Brown. Do you think Smith and Brown, that gap is shrinking, or would you maybe, I think right now I'd prefer Smith? Yeah, that gap is definitely shrinking. Really, I think the only reason to have Brown higher at this point

is that he's shown true wide receiver one alpha target dominance at several stops along the way um we haven't seen that from Devonta yet but we did see it in college and like really can you blame him for not being a target hog at this point in his career with the circumstances he's had I I think I wouldn't blame anyone for preferring Devonta Smith I think what we've seen from him is incredibly exciting wrote about him a lot this offseason because he, from year one to year two, drastically improved versus man and press coverage. And that's really, really exciting signal when you see that from a young receiver. And yeah, you just watch him. The dude is so freaking good. He's always open. He

just glides out there. No one can cover him. Those guys are both top 12 wide receivers. The next duo, not quite that high but rising nico collins and tank dell you'd sent in tank as one of your risers i know you were big on nico this this offseason it's been a fantastic start for him i think nico again about a year and a half older than tank dell i i think profile wise i know height's a problem, but I see more upside with Dell if he overcomes the height concern. I think he has more elite traits than Nico Collins does, but Collins is the wide receiver one right now. Do you have these two close in your dynasty rankings? Yeah, Dell is sneaking up on Nico. They're both going up the rankings. I like both players quite a bit.

Tank Dahl, man, he led all of college football in receiving over the past two seasons. His perot data is insane. He can win all over the field at different levels. And he's like Devante Smith. And we're seeing this now where Tutu Atwell, we're seeing smaller receivers be able to get on the field and survive and also win.

And Tank Dahl is just, he moves he moves differently man he's so smooth he's electric and cornerbacks can't keep up with him we saw him just absolutely dominating during the preseason as well and then he comes out here i think this is an interesting list it's the percentage of their team's receiving yards that each rookie has accounted for do you want me to go through all of it yes yeah i i saw this on twitter and i i'd like to uh definitely do it so this is while these players are on the field only accounting for the plays that they have played uh puka nuku at the top has 45 percent of the rams receiving yards when he's been on the field then jayden reed from green bay 42 percent jaylen hyatt 40 super small sample size but that that's exciting. 37% Zay Flowers, 29% Jameer Gibbs, 27% B. John Robinson, 27% Roshan Johnson, 26% Jordan Addison, 25% Tank Dell. So that's a

great range to be in there. 22% Sam Laporta, 21% Jackson Smith and Jigba, 21% Luke Musgrave, 20% Josh Downs. Now go ahead and give the 18 snap sample size of the guy that you left off the list. Is this Rasheed Rice or Marvin Mims? Rasheed Rice? Rasheed Rice. Rasheed Rice has played 18, he's run 18 routes and he has 46% of the Chiefs targets

and 75% of the receiving yards on those plays. Did his snap share actually go down last week? Yeah. That was so strange. He had such a good first half week one. Completely disappeared from the game plan in the second half of week one. And then I barely saw him on the field in week two. I think they just have him as a package player right now.

And because Kelsey was out, they had more of those plays that involved his packages because they needed somebody to catch and run. I think they've got their clear starters and Marcus Valdez, Scandling and Sky Moore. And then Cadareous Tony is kind of ahead of him on those package plays. But I think we're going to see him get a lot more involved as the year goes on. So you would rank those three Chiefs in Dynasty Rice, Tony, more?

Yeah. Yeah, I've been out on Sky the whole time. I just don't see it, man. They're all around wide receiver 50-ish for me. I think I currently have it tony more rice but i it's hard to have a strong feeling about any of those guys i don't understand that it almost seems like patrick mahomes is a really big fan of cadareous tony and andy reed is not um because if tony's on the field that's where Mahomes is looking.

But man, he just can't play more than 20 snaps a game. Yeah, Tony just gets peppered with targets. His target per route run rate is insane. And on the opposite end of that, we have Skymore with an 11% target per route run rate. It's really, really hard to be productive when you only get targeted on a 10th of your routes and your average depth of target's like six yards no that's that's not a good profile although that average depth of target got helped by by the deep shot i guess and and we'll see if one of these guys it's it's

really and i think it has to do with what you said about tank dell as well um because i think this defensive change has opened the door to guys like him. It's the too high. It's the shell coverage. It's taking away a lot of the stuff we saw Mahomes and Josh Allen and Burrow do so well two or three years ago. And when defenses are playing like that, it is easier to get the smaller, shiftier guys on the field. You don't necessarily need somebody to do what George Pickens does and run down the sideline and win 50-50 balls. Because it's not 50-50. It's 33-33-33 by the time the ball gets there because there's so many defenders back there. Let's get to some dynasty risers.

Now, you said George Pickens. We already talked about Tank Dill. Jaden Reed and Tajay Spears. You were encouraged by last night. I understand that completely. Do you view Pickens like a number three dynasty wide receiver um yeah and i think that's much lower than most people have him for dynasty i i've been super worried about him given the usage so far and last night i don't have the first read target data um just looking at the routes that he ran they did use him on slants 27 of the time after not running a single slant in week one let me pull up his slant rate last year probably was not high

four percent of his routes last year so that's different that's really the only change they made he still ran a ton of go routes he still ran a ton of corner and post routes um so that's that's kind of interesting but it also that's a pretty simple route it's not like he was working in any sort of nuanced way given just a quick look at the route tree last night yeah it's that's george pickens and i've got him i think at wide receiver 31 or 30 in dynasty uh he and quentin johnston are kind of uh back to back and right now i would take pickens first, but it wouldn't take much for Johnston to pass him.

Jaden Reed, I've been really impressed with what he's done. He's another one I think we could do the teammate thing with. Would you rather in Dynasty Jaden Reed or Romeo Dobbs? Easily Reed. It's been Reed from the get-go for me. I love Reed's profile. Dobbs, I think, can be a decent a decent real life player but he's not someone who's ever drawn targets at a high rate even in college he just doesn't the way that he plays doesn't profile as a fantasy relevant guy so reed doing some downfield stuff what do you think

their distribution of routes looks like when christian watson's back who's functioning in that in the the short area of the field who's who's got the high a dot in that offense i think dobbs and watson are working deep but reed can do it as well i don't honestly i don't think that the offense in terms of what dobbs and reed are doing right now is going to change hardly at all yeah i think watson just kind of feels that don tavian wicks role much more effectively um and then they have a few package design plays for watson as well just getting the ball in his hands um on quick looks but one of the things i've been most excited about with jayden reed so far is the fact and this maybe seems counterintuitive but he's he's playing only in

three receiver sets and so his role is not going to change when Watson gets back. It's not like he's benefiting from Watson's absence in terms of like getting more snaps or anything like that. And the other reason that this is exciting that he's done this work in three receiver sets, I did this research this off season and three receiver sets,

you're much less likely to draw a target and your yard per route run rate efficiency goes down as well i think this makes sense just you know anecdotally like if there's only two wide receivers on the field you're only competing with one other target earner presumably assuming the tight ends and running backs aren't you know significant target earners and so the fact that jayden reed even while only running in three receiver sets which typically lower target per route run rate is still third in the entire nfl and target per route run rate behind only puka nukua and tyree kill i think that is really really exciting and has me really bullish on his long-term outlook do you think there's a chance by mid-season that we see reed

on the field for two wide receiver sets and r Dobbs is the guy only playing in three I hope so um I think that that would require Christian Watson to prove to Green Bay that he can be the ex-receiver yeah um because I don't think that Reed's gonna be the ex-receiver I think if he's on the field in two receiver sets he profiles as the flanker um and so yeah I don't we haven't seen that from Watson really to this point i think that they trust dobbs in that role and so i think it's unlikely okay so reed probably still going to be like a 60 snap guy for most of the year yeah i think reed i don't want to get people too excited with the data i don't i think it's unlikely that this year he's going to be very relevant in fantasy i think what we've seen so far is about the best case outcome in terms of

production with the role that he's playing. And I don't think the role is going to change a whole lot. Jaden Reed or Tank Dell. That's really tough. I liked Jaden Reed more as a player, as a profile, I had him ranked higher going into the year, but I did like Tank Dell.

And part of the reason you had to hedge a little bit with Tank Dell just because his profile is so unique. We't seen players succeeded this size but now that we've seen him succeed i on some level at least that's encouraging and opens the door for him to move up and also he has a potential to be an every down player in this offense we saw in week two i don't know i'm i've been trying to find answers on this but nico collins was third on the texans in routes run and tank dell was just behind robert woods he ran 44 routes uh 47 for robert woods so even in week one you said we needed the injury um to noah brown to get him on the field but he actually played i think close to 50 of snaps in week one

they just rotated him in quite a bit um which i thought was really encouraging so and this week john mechi came back and i was like i wonder if they're gonna split it um between him and mechi but no it was like all tank dell and so they they clearly trust them um so yeah there's there's upside for tank dell to like really run away with it this year which i don't think really exists for reed barring an injury to romeo dobbs Yeah, I could see a situation where Tank Delvacombe, CJ Stroud's number one wide receiver, maybe for half of a season. I don't know that Jaden Reed's going to be anybody's number one wide receiver. I've got three risers here. Kirk Cousins, not somebody I expected to be talking about ever again as a dynasty riser. He was QB 22 for me. He's QB 20 now, but I do think,

and I don't know if if you've kind of had this light bulb or if you were already there um i think he might lead the league in passing yeah and the touchdown misfortune from last year i'm not expecting to continue into this year and so he's probably gonna throw 35 35 touchdown passes. I'm not so sure. I mean, I did the projections, the first run for this week at home against the Chargers with an over under a 54. Kirk Cousins was my QB one. I'm not going to rank him quite that high, but I think this is a guy, if you're a contender

and you're just kind of eking it out at quarterback, I don't know that he's just a, what he's usually been a low endend number one quarterback he might actually be a difference maker he might throw for 5 000 yards this year love that yeah uh kirk cousins gino smith and jared goff are three guys that i all they all fit into a similar archetype where like they're left for dead for dynasty purposes but like those guys could easily be top 10 quarterbacks this year if their defenses struggle and they get into these shootouts they've got amazing weapons around them and offenses that will likely you know center around the pass if they're in neutral game scripts um so yeah i i think that's a great call i had brian robinson and kyron williams back to back

coming into this week at rb32 and rb33 both of them moved up this week. That was obviously before I knew Cam Akers was going to be inactive and then on the trade block. Of course, I think people should remember that Cam Akers being inactive and on the trade block does not mean that he won't be the RB one at the end of the year because he was inactive on the trade block last year. Now I've got Robinson RB 23. I've been really impressed with his usage in the passing game, and it seems like Antonio Gibson is just almost completely in the doghouse. Robinson just be a feature back he won't keep scoring touchdowns like this but might be a feature back and then Kyron Williams RB 26 do you prefer Robinson or Williams and are you moving these guys up I am hesitant to move them up very aggressively in dynasty I think the setup

that we've seen for each of them in the first two games is pretty much ideal we hit on it with puka nakua the rams have run a ton of plays um and they've been behind and so it's just been a good setup for kyron to really be involved and then on the opposite side of that we see washington has played with a lead um and really been able to lean on Robinson. And they've got some games coming up where that's not going to be the case, probably. So I want to see what it's going to look like going forward and not be too reactionary to what we've seen. But both guys have played better than I would have expected.

Robinson particularly. Robinson has avoided 10 tackles through two games, which is six in the NFL, I think. That's a big improvement from what we saw last year. And I think it's entirely possible that he'll be better than we saw last year. Cause it took him some time to probably get up to speed after getting shot in the leg. He also has accounted for over 75% of the running back rush attempts in both games,

which he didn't do in a single game last year. Um, so both of those things are pretty dang exciting. And the running back position is a complete and total dumpster fire yeah right now like and that's the thing is i it feels too high to me to have them in that rb25 range but i don't i don't have 25 running backs that i feel really good about like a guy who's been in that range for a while has been aj dylan because i just kept thinking that you know aaron Aaron Jones is getting older. A.J. Dillon's going to get a chance, and he's going to be awesome.

I'm not sure A.J. Dillon's any good anymore. Yeah, both those guys over Dillon for sure. What do you think about Isaiah Pacheco? I want to get your Chiefs insight. The role that we've seen him play recently is really exciting. If you want to talk about running back rest share, his has been higher than it's ever been. He's run more routes than any running back on the Chiefs each of the past two weeks which is also exciting he's been more involved in the red zone than normal so he's getting some of this work going to mckinnon last year um i think just

draft capital wise it's hard to move him ahead of robinson for dynasty but how do you compare him and kyron i see i had him at 31 last week so he was a spot ahead of these two guys and they've both moved ahead of him he's still at 31 a couple of guys moved behind him as well i just this is another one of those situations where how much do you care about the share of the running back rush attempts if it means he's going to run the ball 10 to 13 times per game true like that's just not that and i don't really believe and this could be wrong, McKinnon hasn't looked like he's still the same guy. But I don't really believe that when we get to November and December, Pacheco is going to be running more routes than Jarek McKinnon.

I expected them to open the season with McKinnon and bubble wrap and use him more as the season goes on, which is kind of what they've done the last two seasons. So I'm pretty skeptical on Pacheco. The one guy, and we've talked about this a lot on this show, you and I, the last six months, those day three or UDFA running backs who surprise as rookies and generally the best thing you can do is go sell them. And I really pushed back against that with only one guy.

I was on board with that with Pacheco for sure. Go sell him if you can. Go sell Algier if you can. I thought Damian Pierce was the guy who was different, and man, does that look like a complete disaster the first two weeks of the season. Yeah, the offensive line has been a complete disaster. I don't think anything about Damian Pierce has changed.

I think Damian Pierce is the truth and I remain. Why isn't he playing more? Why are they playing Mike Boone and Dario Gumbawale 30% of the snaps? I think because the offensive line is a disaster and they must prefer those guys as blockers or they want them out there as quick checkdowns. I'm not really sure. I've been surprised by that. I'm definitely concerned about Damian Pierce. I'm not, I'm not really sure i've been surprised by that um i'm

definitely concerned about damian pierce i'm not i'm not yeah just ignoring what's going on um but i think we will see hopefully things turn around as the line gets a little bit healthier and they just kind of get things figured out there a little bit um i wanted to bring on roshan johnson how does he compare to the two guys we're talking about here for you um he is just a little bit behind those guys for me it definitely has the potential to move ahead if he starts taking more work yeah i think that's the whole thing and and it's it's always like he has looked good in that complementary role and it's do the bears want to give him 15 carries in a game ever? Because I think if he got that type of workload,

then yeah, I could see him jumping these guys for sure. He looks really good. I'm not sure that the Bears or anybody else will view him as a full-time running back. But you don't have to try very hard to convince me that he's better than Khalil Herbert. I think he's definitely better as a pass catcher and as a blocker. So Dynasty Fallers, here's one that's no fun at all.

Justin Fields. My gosh. Make me feel better about this because the first two weeks have looked – and I tweeted about this Sunday, and i hinted at it last week but i'm sure you've watched anthony richardson and justin fields this year i think richardson looks a lot more comfortable in the pocket yeah i'm not i'm not the guy to make you feel better about justin fields i'm sorry uh i really enjoy the work of um jt oh man i'm blanking on his name the quarterback school you can find on twitter

his youtube channel is phenomenal he's documented justin fields and the bears uh dysfunction and and just complete panic and struggle for every step along the way in the preseason it was a complete disaster it was rough last year and it's been worse this year. He truly feels panicked back there. He doesn't trust the system. He doesn't trust the line. I want no part of it. See, I've dropped him to QB8, and I don't think it's far enough. It's still – I do have a hope because what they're doing right now

makes sense to me. If the plan for this year was let's find out if justin fields can play quarterback without using his legs and then we can bring the legs back into it but let's see let's we got to find out this year if we've got a quarterback or not and so far it doesn't look like it but i don't think we would have this same concern if shane steichen had been his quarterbacks his coach the past two or three years i i think there's a possibility that week four week five the bears say okay scrap that let's do what we were doing in the second half of last year

yeah i think you you might be right i've got him at qb9 and i'm looking at it now i think i could easily move stroud ahead of him and bryce young as well um young has struggled but man it could not get worse than the setup he's got in carolina i think stroud has looked really good yes um where do you have two ahead of him then i don't wow yeah two would be ahead of him at this point yeah i didn't i missed him so yeah could be 10 is where i would have fields right now and then it's i mean it might be three weeks and kyler murray's back and kyler murray's ahead of him uh no i i feel i feel really bad about the way things look for justin fields and some of it i think is like he's not improved at the things

that we really needed him to improve on and some of it is they're not giving him any help um like the way they're structuring this offense i just don't think is going to work with him george kittle was tight in seven fell to tight end nine there's not a lot of big movers at tight end this week for me but are you getting concerned at all that we like are done seeing george kittle as a number one tight end brother i've been concerned i had george kittle ranked as a titan 12 going into the year for dynasty yeah yeah his per route rates have gotten progressively worse for like four years he this is not what you want to see from an aging profile especially one who's had so many injuries over the years no yeah so that makes it to where debo and brandon iu can both be top 24 wide receivers i think so

yeah that's part of it is like i am like full send on brandon iuk being a superstar like i i think he's ascending he had a bad week last week because he really got hit hard um it was clearly shaken up but i think he's taking over there and it's tough for kiddo with those two and Christian McCaffrey. Rondale Moore, another guy I was just too high on. I've dropped him to wide receiver 54 now. It's been a terrible start to the year. Are there any of the under 10% rostered running backs that we talked about that you would drop Rondale Moore for in Dynasty? I don't think so unless you really needed to start one right now,

then I guess I could see it i i'm yeah i'm pretty much all the way out on rondale as well when i saw this preseason they weren't letting him play in anything but three receiver sets like they tried to play him on the perimeter last year and just did not work at all we've never seen him be anything other than a gadgety guy right and then this year he's a total afterthought he's been targeted on 10 of his routes like sky more we said that the that recipe doesn't work for sky more with an average depth of target of six yards like rondo's is one yard right so like no no thank you so you had a couple of other mores on your followers dj more and sky more i know dj is the best but would you you can only hold on to one this week you've got somebody you need to add to your roster would you rather have sky

or rondale i'd rather have sky yeah yeah he's playing in a better offense he's potentially able to work down the field matt harman has been um cautiously optimistic about what he saw from sky he thinks that he can win um but yeah i think it's over for ronald honestly let's bring another more into this discussion because i've i've dropped dj more so much in the last year um thankfully i haven't dropped in many leagues but in dynasty rankings for sure he only went down one spot in the last week, but there's another more we haven't talked about who hasn't really done much this year either. Elijah Moore. So Elijah Moore or DJ Moore in your dynasty rankings. This is such a depressing conversation, man.

You and I have been like two of the people just like pounding the table like DJ Moore is good. Yeah, I think that DJore is still the answer um i'm curious he's not that much older than elijah moore right i think he's three years older two and a half at least yeah um and he i think has a potential to be the wide receiver one still like this year it could happen yeah he's three years older recall man that's really brutal i think they're pretty much interchangeable honestly sorry to give such a weak answer can i change one of my dynasty team names to more is less it was yeah name more because good gosh yeah it's rough i liked all these guys i was pretty excited about all these guys a couple years ago. Right, right, yes.

Last one on your losers list, and I didn't even mention him. I moved him down for sure. I've got to look to see how far he's fallen. But Alec Pierce, a really bad, bad start to the year for him as well. I think he's behind all the Moors for me. Yeah, I would have him ahead of rondo um but it's it's been brutal for alec pierce he looks like he might not be in the league for much longer which seems insane for a second round pick um he's trying to target on seven percent of his routes this year he was completely invisible during the preseason they really like josh downs and he's

looked really good so they've got three potentially pass catchers there if one of jelani woods or kyle and granson emerges they're ahead of pierce um i just don't think there's going to be any volume for him and he's just he's been really inefficient and also with the types of routes that he runs he's kind of like george pickens where he's just doing downfield stuff and just not ever getting anything for fantasy it's rough i wouldn't want to bail completely just because he is young and like he was a project i think coming in a little bit um so yeah ahead of ron dale but behind sky yeah yeah i agree okay so let's let's finish it off on a more positive note we've got some pukauka tweets from early this morning that I received in the inbox. And this one's just Puka adjacent.

Would you try to trade for Cooper Cup? Or are you concerned with what Puka is doing that he won't have as much target share? That is really interesting. I could see it if you could get cup at a reasonable price and you're like clearly a win now team um i i love you know trying to go after these guys at a discount like elite players in dynasty um when you have news like this i went and traded for jonathan taylor in a few spots even though i don't necessarily love his profile and cup was somebody i was looking into as well but the hamstring scares

me and the way that they've talked about it scares me um it could be really rough if you give real assets for him to be like your win now piece and then he just doesn't come back yeah i've got a couple of those rosters and i'll tell you you can you can grade my trade because it's it's not the type of trade that is you generally want to be making in dynasty but i'm a contender two and oh top scoring team in the league very little wide receiver depth i traded tank dill and sam laporta i received mike evans and deandre hawkins like you hate it but at the same time it might be a pair of top 20 wide receivers yeah i'm a little bit worried that hopkins is is gassed like he has not looked good and then now

trying to play through this ankle injury i i hate that for him um but on the other end of that mike evans has looked great right he's demanding targets like we've never seen before like he looks rejuvenated like i'm i'm i i think i could see it heath you're gonna get killed if you post that trade on twitter by dynasty people but i could see it with the team setup right so one So one more Puka question. What running back should I be targeting if I'm trying to sell high on Puka? Is it even possible to sell high on Puka? No, we've established that it is. Jacob is open to it.

You're just, you're running back situations. And this is a very realistic situation. I think there's a lot of people probably have five wide receivers that they were planning on starting above Puka and they've lost three running backs in the first two weeks of the season they need to go get running back help who are you trying to trade puka for yeah obviously these questions are kind of hard to answer in a vacuum but if you have a team that is more long-term like a team that has josh jacobs or has jonathan taylor or has saquon barkley or someone like that that has more of a long-term like a team that has josh jacobs or has jonathan taylor or has saquon barkley or

someone like that that has more of a long-term outlook then maybe you can trade puka in a pick or something like that for one of those guys jacobs was the first guy that came to my mind like i thought he's his value is i guess it's fallen on people it's so weird with guys like jacobs and joe mixon and mile sand Sanders who have just been terribly inefficient, but they're not hurt and they're still getting all the touches. Jacobs has negative eight yards before contact through two games. He has 46 rushing yards and 54 of them have come after contact through two games. I bet that gets better against the Steelers this week. Yeah, it's been as bad as a kid.

I don't know if it will get much better against the Steelers this week. Yeah, it's been as bad as a kid. I don't know if it will get much better against the Steelers, hopefully. Yeah, so I think he's somebody who's been undervalued, just kind of perpetually undervalued by the Dynasty community, by the Fantasy community at large. And so to see him struggle early, you might be able to get him cheap. I think if you believe in Damian Pierce, you could do that. If you want to take a shot on jameer gibbs he's somebody we mentioned you might be able to do that um it just it depends if you

i mean like if you've got somebody who's a bit reactionary to what's going on right now then right and they have jameer gibbs and they see what bukunuku is doing it sounds absurd you might especially after week three yeah we get a 15 carry craig reynolds game where reynolds scores the team's touchdown i think it's absolutely possible you could trade puka for jameer gibbs that's so wild what a world uh last one i'll ask you and this was a legitimate question i received and i want you to think about it before you laugh or um react it's kind of sad too um puka or kyle pitts in dynasty i don't want to think about that oh god it's it's still pitts right right yeah please yeah uh yeah it's still pitts It still pits, right? Right? Yeah. Please? Yeah.

Yeah, it still pits. I will guarantee you if I put that poll on Twitter, Puka's going to win like 80-20. Like 70-30, yeah, for sure. Absolutely. It's been, you know, congratulations. Happy Puka Nakua Day. I hope you all enjoyed it. And I know that I certainly have.

We'll be right back here next week. We will talk to you next week.
