This is Fantasy Football Today.
from CBS Sports.
What a play!
Can you believe this?
No, I can.
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
Off to the races, and he stays at his feet.
It's just going to go the distance.
Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
Breakout wide receivers right now on Fantasy Football today,
presented by BetMGM, the sports book born in Vegas.
Breakouts Bonanza ends with Chris Harris of Harris Football,
who is on this bonanza every year.
Welcome back to the show, Chris.
Thanks for, I haven't worn up my welcome yet.
I'm trying.
And you know what?
You are also an FFT Open Division manager.
That is awesome.
You were, I think, the first non-CBS person
to sell out their division.
So congratulations.
Yeah, close too.
Close too.
I'm not sure if that's true.
Scott Fish was in there.
He's got a lot of clout, a lot of sway that, Scott Fish.
But I owe it all in my audience.
My audience is pretty good.
Yeah, great.
Adam, we are grace with the presence of two of our analyst league champions.
Dave won the Draftathon League last year, and Chris won the IDP league last year.
So two very, very, very esteemed analyst leagues, and these are the champions.
Yeah.
I got to just mention how much I wanted to win that IDP league.
It's been 10 years.
I really, really wanted to win that league.
And I put a lot of Sequin Barclay into that league last year.
I'll put it that way.
And I think Joe Mixen, right?
Because I know you really liked mixing.
I did.
Yeah, good for you.
I'm trying to convince these guys to like him again this year.
But that's a different show, a different show.
Last year, some of the breakout wide receivers were Drake London, Terry McLoren, Jackson, Smith, and Jigba.
And maybe those guys, London and JSN, maybe they'll break out again.
We'll see if they can do even better.
So we could start with JSN.
That's one of Chris's breakouts.
He has Jackson Smith and Jigba, Ricky Pearsall.
He gave me one of kind of different stages of the draft.
JSN sort of early, Ricky Pearsall mid-rounds, DeMario Douglas, late.
So let's start with JSN.
Last year, he had 100 catches, 1,130 yards, six touchdowns on 137 targets.
When are you comfortable drafting JSN in a 12-team league, Chris?
You know, I'd say like even we're not getting points per reception, probably late second.
And if we are getting points per reception, mid, maybe even early second.
Like, I loved what I saw on tape.
I think there's a reason why in the second half of last year,
I don't care who the Seattle offensive coordinator was.
Like, I think they were on a mission to say,
all right, our best receiver is JSN, DK,
you can run a bunch of go routes and have your arm up in the air.
At the top of his route, at the stem,
there's only a couple of guys I would take in the league over JSN.
He's incredibly shifty.
He reminds me,
I'm on Ross St. Brown has a thing.
when he runs, if you watch just him, his head doesn't move.
He doesn't bob his head up and down.
He's just so incredibly smooth.
And I think it's one of the keys that defensive backs try to look at you
and get a sense of when you're going to break in which direction.
And Amunrah doesn't give you that.
And JSN absolutely doesn't either.
I think they actually have a lot in common in their game.
It's going to be tough to top, extremely top that catch total,
but not to catch, not to top the yardage total,
certainly not to top the touchdown total.
Yeah, I have questions like everybody does that aren't going to get answered until we see them play in week one about, like, okay, is Cooper Cup more on the slot?
Is JSN more on the slot?
Like, there's stuff to be worked out there.
JSN through two years has been the most slot heavy receiver in the entire league.
I just think he's capable of more.
The difference between 2024 and 2023, in 23, he was the checkdown guy.
He was the short area guy.
And 24, he ran out of the slot a lot.
But it was some of that, it was some of that down the field slot work, which I love, the three-field, three-depth field of a wide receiver who, slot or not, like, can run a route everywhere and be open questions about the offense coordinator, questions about Sam Darnold, not questions about JSN. I'm definitely in on the talent.
And he is being drafted near the three-four turn. So it's just one of those guys where if you need a wide receiver,
And you're picking late in round three.
He's someone that's going to be staring at you
and you should not hesitate to take him.
All right.
Ricky Pearsall is another guy that you like.
We love him.
I almost feel like I'm just curious.
When is everyone going to catch up on Ricky Pearsall?
Yeah.
I mean, it depends on where you're drafting,
but I see him eighth round.
Yeah.
You know?
And that is like, okay,
I think we have to be,
try to be, like, realistic in our hype.
He didn't play a lot.
his biggest game
it was at the end of the year
with Josh Jobs
throwing the ball
like you know
okay
it's just
if Brandon and Iook
were playing
I would like Brandon
the most
he's the most polished
the most experienced
et cetera
but he's not playing
for the first
whatever six weeks
of the season
and who knows
how good he'll be after that
and loved
Joanne Jennings
being an absolute gamer
now in your
bio in your Tim Patrick
biopic here's
Joanne Jennings
you know we love
the slow guys
who were gamers, it's an awesome story.
It just, it did start to go away toward the end of last year because Joanne Jennings
is, what's the word, really slow for an NFL player.
He's a slow, slow, slow is molasses kind of guy.
And Ricky Peresal just is so obviously the little ball of lightning.
He wasn't ready when he came back from the gunshot wound at the beginning of last year,
the beginning middle of last year.
And we heard a lot from Brock Purdy that they didn't feel like.
they were on the same page. It's one of those cliches that normally you throw away, but in the
case of the guy who lost his training camp and beginning of a season to a gunshot wound, you kind
of believe it. And once they kind of started to figure it out, you just saw, like, he's a threat
to house it at any point. And yet he's not like some Alec Pierce type speed threat who can only run
the rail, who can only, you know, can't really run a route. You're only ever going to throw it to
him deep. Like, Pierce Hall will make some deep plays. But, and I'm not going to tell you, I saw like
an incredibly polished route tree
but I definitely saw him run Diggs
I saw him run crosses I saw him run
outs and be open enough and then
one mistackle and
like he is legitimately the
the Combine numbers didn't lie with him like
on film stood out as like
a serious can house it from anywhere
kind of threat
guys we look at the ADP from CBS
and we look at deep it's so
just this page that we're showing at YouTube
YouTube.com slash fantasy football today
Debo Samuel Stefan Diggs
Cooper Cup, Chris Olave, Romo Dunzei, Jordan Addison, Ricky Pearsall, Dave, those six guys in front of Pierceall, Debo, Diggs, Cup, Olave, O'Dunzee, Addison. Do you agree with that? Or should Pearsall be closer to the front of that group? He is at the front of that group for me. And the only thing I will push back on that Chris said was that he didn't run a complete route tree. This dude was running double moves like a madman. I think he could run any route that the 40
Niners ask of them. I was a little nervous. I always had him ahead of Joanne Jennings because, I mean, Chris is right about Joanne Jennings, too. But I had him a little bit ahead of Juan, but I couldn't necessarily put the breakout sash on his shoulder because the 49ers are just one of those teams that doesn't throw a ton to their wide receivers. Most of the time, those wide outs, they're lucky if they average seven targets per game. But you think about all the injuries that they have at wide receiver.
I can't help myself at this point.
I think Ricky Pearsall could get off to a great start.
He is so elusive.
He is,
if you have the chance to watch his film or even just like his highlights from week 17 and week 18,
I think you'll be floored by how good he is.
And that's why I'm willing to now reach for him a little bit,
certainly ahead of this AVP.
I think he's got a great shot to be the top target guy in San Francisco.
And maybe even top, I don't know, 1100 yards, seven touchdowns.
Not bad for a guy you're getting at this ADP, you're in the hundreds.
But even in like round eight, round seven, I'd be good with that.
Okay.
Let's talk about your last guy here, DeMario Douglas.
I'm going to throw it to Jamie.
You can kind of kick it off and then we'll go back to Chris because Jamie,
you've been talking about Douglas for, I don't know, a couple weeks now.
So I think you're on board with this breakout call as well.
Yeah, Chris and I talked about this on his show earlier this week as well as the post-type breakout
candidate. There's just so much opportunity. First off, he's free on drafting. We did another
draft today, double digit rounds, took him again. I'm going to take him wherever I have the
opportunity to as a fourth receiver, fifth receiver, wherever your roster build may take you. But
like, slot receiver for Josh McDaniels. Like, that's all you need to know right there if you know
anything about Josh McDaniels history. But this is a kid that's going to run a lot of option routes
in the middle of the field and be an easy target for Drake May and something that I think
Stefan Diggs has the most upside of this receiving core, but you're asking a 32-old receiver coming off an ACL tear to just all of a sudden magically forget anything that happened, you know, just to piggyback off the 49ers conversation. Brandon and you made me out to week six. It's amazing that Stefan Diggs is as healthy as he is right now and performing the way he's performing camp. But Douglas may still lead the team in targets. That wouldn't shock me. It might shock a lot of people thinking what the Svon Diggs career has been, but just knowing what this opportunity is for him. So he's had some opportunities in his first two years to make some plays. It's been with,
with poor coordinator, poor quarterback play, you know, young Drake May, you know, struggling
Mac Jones, you know, Jacoby Brissette here and there, you know, it's just been, you know,
kind of a bad situation for him.
But now there's just an opportunity for him to hopefully step forward and claim this role.
I hope it's not digs being forcing the role.
The undrafted, you know, free agent, I forget his name, who's had an opportunity
to play in the slot as well, getting some opportunities.
Chisholm, on the outside as well.
It just feels as if Douglas is locked into this spot.
right now, and I hope it stays that way.
So I'm really shocked that his ADP hasn't moved, even just incrementally, if not more than
that, because of people like us saying that he should be drafted.
So I'm sure Chris is going to piggyback on that because I know he likes him a lot.
I do.
I also recognize why he goes, why people hold off taking him, because the ceiling isn't very
high.
It's probably not a touchdown role unless he just has a really lucky touchdown season.
And to be honest, unless I'm wrong.
I mean, I know McDaniels wasn't the coordinator last year,
but I'm pretty sure Pop Douglas played with Drake May last year
and they could not get on the same page.
So I get where skepticism comes from
and nobody probably on this panel,
we're talking about like a 13th or a 14th round draft pick.
We're not saying, congratulations, you just draft at a starter.
But you're looking to catch a little lightning in a bottle.
Like a lot of the times with late round picks,
they're going to be on guys who are on teams
where you assume the offense isn't great.
Patriots, if not the worst,
in the league last year pretty close.
And he's a very potential-laden quarterback,
but he's won one game and turns the bowl over like crazy.
Like what you're hoping is for the big turnaround.
And they're going to be three, four NFL offenses that are suddenly the commanders from last year.
That's suddenly like we rule out everybody because they're going to be awful.
And suddenly they're really good.
And if the Patriots wind up being that offense, okay, then now in week five,
you start talking about, man, can Pop Douglas really be my flex with this high volume?
volume role in a offense that's now scoring 25 points a game when I thought they're going to
score 18. That's why you take guys late and you, you know, like again, I compare like a guy who
goes near him and a lot of drafts, Cedric Tillman, another Cleveland awful, terrible offense.
Cedric Tillman has more just sort of baked in upside in that he's a giant person who could
win in the red zone and just has an easier path to touchdowns and probably going to have a much
higher depth of target and therefore can make some big plays that maybe Douglas might not.
So I probably would take Pop Douglas in that case, but I understand like when you're taking
your fifth, sixth receiver, sometimes you're just like, let's see if we can hit a total home run.
Like Pop Douglas is probably more like a nice solid double, but his ADEP deserves to be higher
than it is for sure. I don't want him to be my eighth wide receiver. I want him to be like,
If I loaded up on wide receivers early in my draft
and I don't really need a bunch of bench wide receivers,
this guy's fine.
And it's got to be a full PPR thing because he could roll out of bed
and catch five for 50 pretty much every week.
I'd like to ease a few concerns here with Douglas.
I was at the joint practice against the commanders.
He was first team all the way, in the slot all the way.
A really great play with May where May was pressured,
flushed out of the pocket, threw off balance, and hit him right in the hands.
It was perfect.
Douglas had a nice practice.
I think this is a good call.
I think he's a good sleeper call.
The one little thing you might want to worry about with him is that he's not a big dude.
So a couple of big hits, and he could be on the shelf for a couple of weeks.
But I don't think that's something you're thinking about when you're taking him in the double-digit rounds, 12, 13, somewhere in that range,
where he can give you double-digit PPR points pretty easily.
All right.
you can also give you a, well, he can't,
but I can give you a great offer for BEDMGM.

Hey, what a great shirt I was wearing in that commercial.
Chris, what do you think?
Isn't it pretty weak that Dave even needed a spotter?
You wouldn't need a spotter.
I mean, I usually don't have friends.
So, you know, I got to just, I got to sweat by myself.
Also, you know, I'm just going to throw this out there.
And you don't have to respond.
In fact, I'm just going to throw it out there.
I'm going to go right to the next topic.
I don't even want you to respond.
I'd love to come on your podcast someday.
All right, Dave, let's talk about some of your, everybody else gets to go on.
All right.
It's a good time.
Vleek neighbors.
Hosts on hosts.
I mean, hosts on hosts.
It's awkward.
I know.
But we're the funny one.
Like, we're the charismatic ones.
We'd have a great pocket.
Nobody would learn anything, but we'd laugh.
Oh, but we laugh.
All right, Dave, you have Malik Neighbors and Nico Collins on your breakouts.
These are lame.
Like, I don't know if we really need to spend time explaining my people.
You do.
People need to know how good Nico Collins is.
He's good enough if he were to get 150 targets.
He could be the number one wide receiver in fantasy.
Also, can I also, can I just mention in your defense, Dave?
Like, just did an AMA on the fantasy football subreddit today.
I got five questions like, am I completely fading Malik neighbors because of his toe?
Like, should I take him off my draft board?
I'm not kidding, five different people.
What'd you say?
No, you dummies.
I don't think it's an unreasonable question because obviously there are great options there.
He's got this lingering issue that might need surgery.
He also has a shoulder issue right now.
Yeah, not doing that.
Are we fading Justin Jefferson?
is he, is he in the sixth round now?
I don't believe in preseason injuries.
He went 11th in a draft that Jimmy and I did yesterday.
But it's that kind of thinking that made you take Christian McCaffrey last year.
That's true.
Sure, and I'll do it again this year.
In fact, I did in that stacked league.
I took McCaffrey six.
Yeah, but last year, McCaffrey was hurt and he wasn't practicing that much.
And then they started to ramp up.
So your advice is, if I could extrapolate here, your advice is take every injury report seriously in camp
and never draft anybody who,
has an injury problem.
Kickers in round one, Chris.
We're just going to go straight kickers all the way through because those guys are
can I say Andy Barron's, my new, we're doing a collab together.
Andy Barron's got at the Fence Football Expo this past weekend.
He got a draft board from a league that's been drafting since the early 80s and they
had like a paper draft board and there, no joke, they were taking kickers in the second
round.
Well, take a look at this wide receiver ADP and, you know, you got Chase, Jefferson,
lamb and then neighbors.
Do you have Neighbors as Wide Receiver 4, Chris?
I don't think I do know.
But I still, you know, I'm not going to argue too strongly with it.
It's close.
I have Puka.
Neighbors is like 5 or 6.
You like him better than Nico?
7.
No.
I have Puka 4, Nico 5, A.J. Brown 6, Malik neighbor 7.
AJ Brown also dead.
Dead.
I understand he's a hamstring dead.
If that little red box is next to his name.
I'm with you.
That's what I'm saying about mixing.
Just, I'm sorry.
Okay.
I mean, look, we can get serious about this.
Context is obviously necessary when it comes to injuries.
It's one thing if a guy was practicing and then he, you know, hamstring strain and the team's going to take it easy with him.
It's another thing when a guy was in a walking boot during the off season with multiple injuries below the knee and he still has no timetable to really come back.
That's mixing right.
You don't know what timetable he has.
They're just not telling you the timetable
because they don't particularly care about our fantasy teams.
But I believe they absolutely have a timetable.
They should care about it.
I don't know if it's good news if they're not telling us the timetable.
Well, they don't know you much, buddy.
That's because they've never met him.
All right, so Dave, let's get to a breakout that I'm glad you brought up
before the show.
George Pickens, breakout call for you.
It was really having a nice stretch last year with Russell Wilson,
and then Pickens suffered an injury, came back and kind of struggled.
We've seen flashes from him, but last year he was only wide receiver 39 per game
in PPR, 46 per game in non-PPR.
It felt like he had a better year than that.
He only scored three touchdowns, but I haven't gotten myself to draft Pickens,
but that's not intentional, so like, what do you think?
Should we start reaching, maybe get into the fifth round for Pickens?
I don't hate it.
I would obviously prefer to get anybody around later than ADP or anything like that.
But I think that Dallas is really setting up to be a big time passing offense.
We don't know anything about their run game.
I don't think it's going to be particularly good.
Their defense is banged up in the secondary.
Their best defensive player is holding out.
I don't know how good they're going to be on defense,
even if Parsons did play.
I think Dak's going to end up throwing a lot.
And C.D. Lamb's going to get his.
And Pickens just apparently, like,
he was from Pittsburgh to Dallas and became like an amazing receiver.
and if he's never going to get double-team down the field,
Dax's going to throw at it.
And he seems,
Pickens seems to have won over his coaches.
And I think those two guys can end up having a lot of targets.
Could it end up being something like J. Mar Chase and T. Higgins last year?
Or in prior years, A.J. Brown and Devante Smith,
hell, it could be like A.J. Brown and Devante Smith last year.
And we'd be really happy having George Pickens on our team in that case.
His best numbers of his career, 1140 yards, five touchdown.
I think he can get close to that yardage.
I think he can score more than five touchdowns.
Okay, but you know the deal, just to push back on the Devante Smith thing, you know the deal with him.
We wouldn't be happy with that.
He's only worth starting, basically, when either Goddard or A.J. Brown is out, and that was most of the year.
One of those two guys was out.
That was just really last year, no.
No, not really.
It's been, it's been starting, no.
He's been like wide receiver 30-ish receiver.
I mean, I have the numbers when, especially if you take out the,
Gardner-Minshoe games when they threw.
I won't even do that.
But he's been closer to a wide receiver three than starting as a flex, yes.
I just mean top 24.
He's been closer to a wide receiver three throughout his career or since AJ Brown's trade
when everybody's been healthy.
He's been at least 14.2 PPR points per game each of the last three years.
But no higher than 15.3.
And yes, you're right.
He's much easier to start when somebody's hurt in Philadelphia.
Also, can I just mention he's so much better than George Pickens at playing football?
Oh, that's true too, yes.
It doesn't necessarily matter, though,
because the Cowboys, I think they've been top five in past attempts,
like five years in a row or something like that.
They're always throwing the ball.
Now you explain to me why I've been starting all those Dallas Cowboy receivers
other than C.D. Lamb, oh, wait a minute.
Okay, so you're nodded on Pickens as a breakout.
I don't think it's a horrible.
I can see it working out.
I think his ADP is probably about right,
and so I'm not mad at it at all.
I understand he's an absolute knucklehead.
And I don't believe because they haven't said anything mean about him
in practice yet means anything. As soon as he wears
something filthy on his eye black again, they'll
have to talk about him. Like, this is a
knucklehead's knucklehead. I'll believe it when I see it.
This is one where if I needed to get
aggressive on a receiver in that range,
I could definitely pick somebody who's less of a moron.
AJ Brown's
dead. George Pickens is a moron.
This is a sub-show.
Well, we all can
agree on that. The last point is true, right?
I mean, he has a lot to prove
as far as it's becoming a good teammate and being
being there for his quarterback and not swearing at fans and not yelling at his goal.
Yeah, but as long as she's not getting suspended for games because of it,
I'm not drafting these guys because of their intelligence.
No, you're drafting.
Yeah, you are drafting because you have to be very smart to be a good receiver in the league.
And you are, the reason George Pickens has been a disappointment in Pittsburgh is because he's moron,
not because he's not physically talented.
It's because he couldn't get on the same page.
He wouldn't do the work.
The only thing that he's ever done well is sideline work.
And people, you knew, knew this, you guys pay attention, more attention to college football than I do.
People who pay attention to college football were like, this guy's poison.
You don't want this guy.
And the Steelers decided, yeah, we don't even want him to play out his rookie year.
He's cheap.
Get out of here.
So, like, I'm not telling you it can't work.
But if it's not going to work, it's not going to be a lack of physical talent.
It's going to be because he's been a bad teammate and not a very smart football player.
He needs to grow up.
He needs to grow up.
Tom one said that, no question about it.
We hope he does.
Dallas has been top five
and past attempts per game
in four of the last five seasons
just to correct myself there
And that's why Brandon Cooks
was such a great fantasy weapon.
Yeah, but come on,
I mean, Pickens is better
than that version of Cooks.
Jamie's got Tetaroa McMillan as a breakout.
Who do you like better?
Pickens or Tederoa McMillan.
McMillan.
Yeah.
Jamie, you like him?
You think he's going to potentially
outperform his ADP by two rounds?
Yeah, I think it's an opportunity
for him to, you know, step in and be the go-to guy for Bryce Young.
I don't think it's a big stretch to say that.
You know, it's just a matter of, like, how good can he be?
And, you know, I like to read our chat from this morning through now,
because as he alluded to in the tight ends breakout story, we've done 75 shows today.
There's been a lot of pro-con, McMillan, Carolina talk.
You know, can he stand out above the rest of that receiving core,
where you see Bryce Young's got a strong connection with Dailen Coker,
and he definitely had a strong connection with Adam Thielen last year,
and those guys are still there.
And Hunter Renfro has made some plays, you know,
and Jatavian Sanders may be a factor and could still be a run-first offense.
But I just think they drafted this kid for a reason,
and you're seeing it every time you see a highlight from the Panthers
and reading something about what they're expecting for him,
and then you see the preseason game and the things that he could do
and what he should be able to do physically.
Like, it wouldn't shock me if I have him too low at 21.
Like, he could be a top 15 caliber receiver, you know, so, yeah,
I'm drafting him in round four at this point.
And the best part is that he stands out no matter where he goes
because he's six foot five and I don't know what his weight is,
but he's obviously a big dude with a humongous catch radius.
He's going to win a ton of 50-50 balls.
We saw him win on a deep ball in the preseason game.
He should have had a touchdown in the preseason game.
Now, I don't know if he was in Mensa,
but I think that he's got the athletic ability
to be a very quality contributor to the Panthers.
I think he could lead that team in targets.
this year.
Okay.
So I'm just going to end the show.
We've got a little long here.
So end the show with this.
I'm going to ask you, we're looking for breakouts.
I want to hear Chris's list of morons.
I think that would be great.
Yeah, well, probably the guy on this show.
It's going to start with me.
Probably the guy on this show that's never been on his podcast, I was going to say.
Anyway, who's got the most upside?
I'm going to be a trio.
Who's got the most upside?
Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison, Jr., Xavier Worthy.
Oh, God.
name three players I will not own this year.
Wow.
Garer Wilson.
Gary Wilson.
Okay.
Wilson for me.
Because he's the only one who I can verify, hopefully say, is good at football.
The other two, I don't know yet.
Yeah.
Okay.
Who's got the most upside?
Zay Flowers, Jameson, Travis Hunter.
Jameson.
Jameson.
I'll say Hunter.
And that's all I got.
Chris, we learned a lot today.
There's an anger inside of you
that we learned about today, I think.
An intensity.
Okay, man.
You can tell you haven't,
that's the first piece of evidence
that you haven't been on my show
because these guys are used to it.
Well, it was really fun having you on, man.
This is actually a blast.
Good way to end the breakout bonanza.
Although, I'm going to publish this one
in all the audio places
before the tight ends one.
But for video purposes, a good way to end the night.
