JJ Zachariason identifies Brock Bowers as his primary breakout pick, citing the offensive environment under play-caller Clint Kubiak, a lack of target competition in the wide receiver room, and a projected quarterback upgrade once Fernando Mendoza takes over. Zachariason advocates for drafting Bowers in the mid-to-late second round despite his current ADP.

0:00One question has been capturing the
0:01imagination of the fantasy football
0:03world this entire off season.
0:05Who is this year's JSN? Ladd McConkey
0:08has been a trendy candidate for good
0:09reason. Lost Keenan Allen, added a great
0:11play caller in Mike McDaniel. I don't
0:13know about you guys, but Devonte
0:14Smith-Njigba has a nice ring to it. More
0:17guys like Jaylen Waddle, Zay Flowers,
0:18even Rome Odunze all seem to have
0:20reasonable enough cases to be this
0:22year's JSN. But personally, I'm not
0:24taking any of those guys to be this
0:25year's Jackson Smith-Njigba. I am
0:28placing my chip on none other than Mr.
0:30Brock Bowers. After all, Bowers has
0:33JSN's play caller in Clint Kubiak. He's
0:35in an offense with basically zero
0:37competition [music]
0:38in the wide receiver room, and he
0:40should, please for the love of God,
0:42should be getting [music] something
0:43close to a quarterback upgrade,
0:46particularly once Fernando Mendoza is
0:47under center. We already know how great
0:50Brock Bowers is, and he's not exactly
0:51the cheapest guy in fantasy drafts, but
0:54man, looking at the mid to late round
0:56two landscape, I sure do want plenty of
0:58Brock Bowers this year because his best
1:00case scenario involves breaking fantasy
1:02football.
