Ja'Marr ChaseWR
Davis Mattek has a hard time taking Ja'Marr Chase ahead of Bijan Robinson or Anthony Gibbs in early drafts, particularly in portfolio/multi-draft formats. Chase falls regularly in drafts and can be acquired at picks 4, 5, or even 6, making early selection inefficient when better WR options are available at picks 23-27 and early RB value is scarce. Voluntarily giving up early RB share by taking Chase early is viewed as shooting yourself in the foot.
