Calvin Ridley

NegativeRole20:08

Matt Harmon suggests that the Tennessee offense may sacrifice Calvin Ridley's role to accommodate other receivers, noting that he is currently being overlooked in drafts.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

NegativeProjection14:07

Matt Harmon is worried about Carnell Tate's fantasy outlook due to the Tennessee offense, the poor performance of quarterback Cam Ward, and a role that is not quarterback-proof. Despite a 67.6 ADP, Harmon notes Tate is being drafted ahead of Brian Thomas Jr., which he disagrees with given the offensive environment.

Insight page

Cedric Tillman

PositiveBreakout11:43

Matt Harmon is high on Cedric Tillman, citing his elite separation metrics (92nd percentile vs. man) and potential for a 'PPR scam' role similar to Zay Flowers' rookie year; Harmon ranks him at WR41, well ahead of his WR49 ADP. Harmon notes Tillman was moved to the Z-receiver position in a scheme change he found questionable, but still explicitly prefers drafting him over Quentin Johnston.

Insight page

Chris Olave

PositiveRole10:54

Matt Harmon views Chris Olave as comparable to Drake London in talent but prefers Olave due to his established, quarterback-proof role in the offense.

Insight page

Drake London

NegativeValue8:12

Matt Harmon advises against drafting Drake London due to his high ADP (22.5, late second round) and the poor surrounding situation, despite acknowledging his talent. Before his injury last year, London averaged 10.4 targets per game with a 28.8% target-per-route-run rate. Harmon expresses concern that London could be forced into an X-receiver role, which would negatively impact his fantasy outlook, as his success is tied to 'Z slot' usage similar to CeeDee Lamb.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

PositiveValue2:13

Matt Harmon identifies Garrett Wilson as a strong buy at his 37.2 DraftKings ADP, emphasizing his elite ability to separate and command targets regardless of quarterback play. Wilson posted a 93rd percentile success rate versus man coverage, 88th against press, and 81% against zone last year. Harmon expects Wilson to maintain a productive off-ball Z-receiver role, with slot usage exceeding 30% and over 50% of snaps coming off the line of scrimmage, while AD Mitchell occupies the X-receiver spot.

Insight page

Jahan Dotson

NegativeDepth Chart12:20

Matt Harmon identifies Jahan Dotson as a roster teammate of Drake London, noting that Dotson is not an X-receiver and will likely operate in the Z-slot.

Insight page

Jerry Jeudy

NegativeRole13:18

Matt Harmon uses Jerry Jeudy as a cautionary example of a player who was moved to the X-receiver position in a scheme he disliked, citing this as a potential risk for other receivers.

Insight page

Michael Penix Jr.

NegativeProjection9:08

Matt Harmon expresses significant concern regarding Michael Penix Jr.'s ability to support fantasy production, citing poor performance in camp videos and questioning his mobility from under center. Harmon notes a mismatch between Penix's skill set as a shotgun passer and the team's offensive scheme, further complicated by Penix returning from a major knee injury.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveValue10:12

Matt Harmon ranks Nico Collins ahead of Drake London, citing a superior quarterback situation with C.J. Stroud, elite efficiency over the last three seasons, and a high volume of targets.

Insight page

Olamide Zaccheaus

NegativeDepth Chart12:28

Matt Harmon mentions Olamide Zaccheaus as a Z-slot receiver on the current roster alongside Drake London.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

PositiveValue13:54

Matt Harmon explicitly states he would draft Cedric Tillman ahead of Quentin Johnston, implying Johnston is a less desirable target at his current draft position.

Insight page

Tre Tucker

PositiveValue22:32

Matt Harmon highlights Trey Tucker as a strong value in best ball drafts (WR63, ADP 157.5). Despite being an incomplete player with poor success rates against man/press, his 76.9% success rate on dig routes and elite speed make him a 'spike week' player who fits the Raiders' scheme. Harmon notes he led the team in snaps last year and is a viable target to help open up the field for Brock Bowers.

Insight page

Wan'Dale Robinson

PositiveUsage20:33

Matt Harmon highlights Wan'Dale Robinson as a potential target who could lead the team in receptions. He notes that Robinson runs a diverse route tree and receives designer touches, making him a more favorable option than Carnell Tate in the current Tennessee offensive structure.

Insight page

Zachariah Branch

NegativeDepth Chart12:29

Matt Harmon identifies Zachariah Branch as a Z-slot gadget receiver on the roster.

0:00Buy or sell these bad quarterback receivers at cost. I've got five names for you.
0:08>> Look at the release.
0:09>> There's your separation.
0:11>> Stutter and go. Gets by clean.
0:12>> That is unbelievable.
0:13>> May be the greatest catch I've ever seen.
0:18>> What is cracking everybody? James Co.
0:20Matt Harmon here with you. The reception perception the show. The boys are back in your lives. We're talking about DraftKings baseball. All right. Today,
0:28Matt, I've got a really interesting topic for you. Um, quarterback proof.
0:32It's such an interesting phrase. I think Justin Jefferson even proved that no one is quarterback proof. But I am talking about some truly interesting and dare
0:43say good wide receivers in a lot of different situations here, but they're playing with some of the worst quarterbacks that you can find in the
0:51NFL. So, buy or sell these bad quarterback receivers at cost. I've got five names for you. I want to start in
1:01New York. Gino Smith is the quarterback for the Jets. He was good three years ago, but that was three years ago. I
1:09don't think he last year.
1:10>> Two years ago. Could we say two?
1:12>> Okay, sure. Two I'll give you two years.
1:15Pretty good.
1:15>> Yeah, fine. Okay.
1:16>> He's fine.
1:17>> Okay.
1:18>> He was f He was fine. I think three years ago he was legitimately good actually though. Um okay but uh but last
1:24year I don't think he showed a lot. Uh and I don't I don't imagine somebody a quarterback in their mid-30s uh is going to get improve especially
1:32when you go work with Frank Reich in New York. Okay. So Garrett Wilson DraftKings ADP of 37.2. He's going in the early
1:41fourth round right now. He started his career with three straight 1,000 seasons uh 10,000 yard seasons. actually had,00 yards in two of those three seasons. But
1:53last year, seven games, 395 yards later, and my guy Garrett Wilson had the worst year of his career by far. Buy or sell,
2:01Garrett Wilson at cost. I mean, Garrett Wilson statistically, yeah, he didn't have a good year from a bottom line perspective, but this was a guy who was
2:08had like a 34% target share before he got hurt. He was just behind Jackson Smith and Jigba before he suffered that
2:15injury against the Denver Broncos from a target share perspective. And this is the thing with Garrett Wilson, you know, by hook or by crook, this guy's going to
2:22get the football. And the reason he gets the football, man, is because he is always open. All right? I mean, 93rd
2:29percentile success rate verse man coverage last year. 88th against press, 81% against zone coverage. Um, separates all over the field. a little bit lower
2:39on the nine routes last year, but they also didn't use him on the nine routes.
2:42Like other than God, this was so annoying because like the role for Garrett Wilson was so good last year.
2:50That's why he was able to have the really solid usage, get the targets that he needed even though he's playing with
2:57freaking Justin Fields and my guy Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. All right, because they had him with a pretty balanced route tree, heavy diet on the
3:04breaking routes, outs and digs.
3:07What's it going to look like with Frank Reich this year? That's obviously a question mark. Although, um, I will note that Garrett Wilson's slot rate got back
3:14up over 30%. Which hadn't happened since his rookie year. That's a key variable.
3:20And he took 50.4% of his sample snaps off the line of scrimmage. First time in his NFL career that he lined up more
3:27offball than on ball last year. That is one thing that I think will continue even if I you I'm dubious of the Frank
3:33Reich offense because AD Mitchell is there and AD Mitchell James you and I have joked about this for almost every receiver. I'm like what would he look
3:40like as a Z moving around the formation?
3:41What would he look like as a slide?
3:42Could we get this big slide? Like no no 80 Mitchell just play X and that's it.
3:47And so far in the preseason I feel like that's what we've been seeing. That's what we saw for Eddie Mitchell when he
3:51got with this team last year. So, I think because he's there, I can trust Garrett Wilson to be the guy that is
3:56going to be the offball Z receiver, move around the formation, and like I mean, these success rates on the short routes
4:00are good, which I think will really help >> making him quarterback proof. And and James, like, is Gino Smith, even this
4:06version of Gino Smith, the best quarterback Gary Wilson has played with his NFL career.
4:11>> Zack Wilson, Justin Fields, uh, >> what's left of Aaron Rodgers? I don't know. [laughter] And they didn't >> None of it was good.
4:20>> None of it was good, man. So yeah, I mean I don't know if that answers the question. Is he quarterback proof? But I
4:29mean he's been he has been quarterback proofish so far because he's been a productive player even with these horrendous situations. So
4:38>> dude, yards 1100 yards in two of his four seasons in two of the three seasons where he wasn't hurt. That's bro that's
4:45about as quarterback proof as you're going to get, man. That is really impressive. Honestly, incredibly impressive. Um, okay. We go to Atlanta
4:52where Drake London, his DKDP is is actually quite a bit higher, 15 spots higher than Garrett Wilson, 22 and a
5:00half for U. Drake London. He's a late second round grade right now on DraftKings. He had a huge 2024 with,200
5:10plus yards, but man, failed to record a,000 yards in three of his first four seasons. I will pose to you this Drake
5:20London at current ADP. Buy or sell?
5:24>> Man, Drake London was having such an awesome season last year before he got hurt. Um, he was averaging 10.4 targets
5:33per game in the first 11 weeks of the season. He was only behind Jamar Chase even in half PPR, which DraftKings is
5:40obviously full PPR, which leans into Drake London's game more. He was the wide receiver three in per game scoring.
5:47Like he was being targeted on 28.8% of his routes, fourth highest rate uh over the last two seasons since he entered
5:54the league. He's eighth in targets per route run. Like this guy gets the freaking football when he is on the field and even last year. Like he was on
6:03way to having that season, you know, the monster production season. Um, and I so I say all that to say like, man, are we
6:12rooting for Michael Penn [laughter] to be the starting quarterback or what, dog? Because >> two, >> bro, bro, it's so bad.
6:21>> The vibes are so bad. I don't want to just react to like one camp video because I think that's, you know, kind
6:27of silly. Um, but that video of him against the Colts when he's just like dancing around in the pocket and then
6:33just throws it right to the guy, it looks about as bad as you could possibly look. Um, so yeah, I think when you I
6:40think the thing to remember about Drake London is one obviously he's an incredible football player, but look at like his profile last year, who it
6:47compares to. I mean, of course, his success rates are great. Like 76% almost success rate versus manals, 84 against zone, 79 against press. like baller
6:54baller receiver easy top 10 wide out in the NFL 100%. But like these guys that he compares to I think really helps kind
7:01of illustrate the point of like what his usage is. There's three Keenan Allen seasons in here and like really good Keenan Allen seasons. CD Lamb is the top
7:10comp. And that like Z slot usage is really critical for Drake London and kind of the best way to show like who he
7:19is as a player. That would be my one little worry here almost even beyond the quarterback situation, James. And so far, I have asked around about this.
7:29>> I I have I've I've not seen any reporting from Falcons, beat Writers, or anything. Is Drake London going to get
7:35stuck at X receiver this year because >> I think >> I mean, think of the other guys on the roster. It's like, you know, J my guy
7:41Jan Dodson. Um, probably not. Definitely not an X receiver. Z slot. Uh, Zakias, Zlot, Zachariah Branch, Zlot, gadget receiver, you know, it's there's not
7:52>> there's nobody else. There's nobody else.
7:54>> And Kevin Stfansky and Tommy Reese did some weird stuff last year where they moved Jerry Judy to X and Cedric Tilman
7:59to Z. I I didn't like that. That didn't make a lot of sense to me. Um, so that worries me in addition to obviously the
8:05quarterback situation. That being said, I think um one thing that does make me feel at least a little bit better um is
8:13that we saw that monster production with Michael Penn last season and so much of that came on outbreaking routes. That's something that these guys have been
8:24really good at. You look at the success rate for Drake London. Good usage and success rate on out routes almost 90%
8:30like 89.2%.
8:31He can win all over the field these big breaking routes. But I I really am a little worried about the role change in
8:37any sort of games with Tua. Um we're we're not [laughter] we're not going to see a lot of targets on these routes.
8:43Okay. If it's Tua Tongoa. So um yeah, definitely the the previous role that he's had James in 20 uh 2023 and 2024,
8:51excuse me, 2024 and 2025, those are definitely quarterback proof roles and we've seen that >> um because of the layup usage in
8:59addition to the fact that he's a baller that can win down the football field.
9:02Um, but that that has me nervous about the role. Um, and sort of the tuiness of it all. That has me nervous,
9:08>> man. Even if Michael Penn comes back earlier than anticipated. Uh, it's a little bit of oil and water when we're
9:14talking about scheme with Stfansky and Michael Pennock skill set, you know, like we're talking about purely shotgun guy in Michael Penn working with an
9:23offensive dude who again I really like Stfansky, right? Like if you like what Shanahan does, if you like what you know
9:31Shawn McVey does, Stfansky is of that mold, right? Like he's from the the Vikings building working directly under Gary Kubiaak. Like if we like that
9:41scheme, okay, cool. We can like the scheme, but we might not like the quarterback, right? And the quarterback is is Michael Pennix coming off of a
9:49major knee injury. What's his mobility from under center? That's just [sighs] >> I worry for Drake London.
9:57>> I'll just say that. Um and I really really really like the player. I just can never find myself drafting this guy
10:05just because he's going early and man the situation surrounding him is all kinds of bad.
10:12>> Couple alternatives if you want to break ties in favor of not drafting Drake London. Um Nico Collins goes 24.7 overall on DraftKings. Uh, I have him
10:21ranked ahead of Drake London. I would just take Nico over Drake. Um, better quarterback situation. Don't care what you saw from CJ's in the playoffs.
10:30Better quarterback situation. Uh, equal, if not better wide receiver talent, uh, and a situation where he's just going to get a ton of targets, efficient targets.
10:38He's been one of the most efficient receivers in the NFL the last three seasons. Um, George Pickkins goes right after Drake London. If you want to break
10:45ties in favor of saying like just >> I'd rather be attached to the Dallas Cowboys offense and Atlanta Falcons offense, I get it. Totally.
10:52>> That one's been a tough ranking for me.
10:54And then Chris Olive goes wide receiver 10, Drake London wide receiver eight.
10:58Really? What's the difference between I think Drake London and Chris Ave are super comparable from a talent perspective. Um Chris Olive also plays
11:06and we're wor maybe it's just like a small nat in the back of my head about Drake London's role in deployment. But
11:11um Chris Olive, I know his role is going to rock because I just watched it last year in this offense.
11:15>> And I have got a lot more faith in his connection with Tyler Shuck than I do with London. So um it's been tough for
11:22me to drop Drake London from my eighth receiver spot, which is where he goes on DraftKings. But um from a tier
11:29perspective, I got him in the same tier as those guys. And if you want to click like I'd take Nico over him, but if you
11:33want to click Pickkins or Olive, um like we don't even need to worry about quarterback proof with Pickkins. And I definitely think quarterback proof role
11:41Chris Olave has got one too.
11:43>> Yeah, for sure. Okay, KCC KC Conception is in Cleveland and they have arguably the worst quarterback situation uh in the NFL right now. [laughter]
11:53Some people, yourself included, Matt, you love yourself some KCC, man. DK ADP right now is about 110. He's going in
12:03the early 10th round. Talk to me about KC Conpsion. you think he can overcome again what I just described as potentially the worst quarterback
12:12situation in the NFL?
12:15>> Yes, because I one I think he's freaking awesome. You know, this is my guy obviously. Casey Conpsion from a reception perception standpoint was one
12:25of the best if not the best separator in the draft class. 92nd percentile success rate verse man, 87th against press, 81st
12:32against zone. You see the almost full green route tree here. this guy wins all over the football field. However, the thing that's really good about him for
12:40this particular format. Um, you know, if we're talking about we're scamming some touches here, >> you know, which is what's going to have
12:47to happen. Guys really good with the football in his hands on the quick hitters. You know, slants, screens, obviously we're going to see a lot of
12:53that. He obviously wins on those routes.
12:55I mean, everybody wins on screens. It's fine, but like slants gets into those pretty quickly. Put the football in his hands. Like Deshawn can do that even if
13:02he can't do much. Shur definitely I think can do that. So it's going to be a little bit of a PPR scam for Z Flowers
13:10but or excuse me for slip case concepts own. But that's kind of what we saw with Zay Flowers in his rookie year man. It
13:16was like a little bit of a scammy receiver production but you know I was sitting there in the rookie report that
13:21year on our show being like no no no this guy runs real deal routes.
13:24He gets like BS Mickey Mouse usage but watch him run like deep outs and stuff like that. I think that's going to be the same thing for um KCC.
13:32But I mean, regardless, the ADP is so good on him. I'm way ahead of this ADP.
13:36I have him at wide receiver 41. He goes off the board wide receiver 49 because it's just to me, bet on talent, bet on
13:42explosive playability.
13:45Cookie, you know, kind of ice icing on the cake here that you don't got to pick the weeks for KCC because we're doing
13:50best. Uh, I would take him ahead of some of the guys like, you know, Quinton Johnson who we talked about in a
13:55previous video. Uh, yeah, give me KCC as a really good pick there. Like I think he I think he will have a quarterback
14:03proof role this year and he's going to need it with that quarterback situation in Cleveland.
14:07>> In Tennessee, Carnell Tate is working with Cam Ward. His DK80P Carnell Tate is 67.6.
14:16He has a mid6thround grade. And you know what's funny? Despite the fact that Cam Ward is throwing up all over his shoes,
14:23Carnell Tate is actually moving up draft boards for some reason or another.
14:28>> I know. I don't get it. I don't understand. People love rookie wide receivers though. Um, they love rookies in general, but they love this rookie in
14:36particular. I feel as if there is some serious Ohio State steam coming up and gassing up Carnell Tate because everything else about it, I don't
14:46understand. I know our quarterback charter, Alfredo Brown, um, has said there's a lot of really interesting and good things about Cam Ward's uh,
14:56charting profile from from last year.
14:58But dude, I I am sorry, man, but like the preseason has been about as bad as it gets uh for Cam Ward. Where do you
15:06sit on Carnell Tate in Tennessee?
15:11>> Oh boy, I'm worried. [laughter] I'm worried about Carnell Tate in Kansas, excuse me, for Tennessee there with Cam Ward and all that. And some of it is
15:20because of Carnell Tate, but not not not a lot of it. I couldn't really care about how he's, you know, not caught any
15:27passes in the preseason, whatever. To me, it's got a lot to do with his role mixed with the Cam Ward stuff. I mean, I
15:33think you can still be I'm still open to Cam Ward having a good second season, but I mean, when you look at Carnell
15:39Tate and who he is as a player, he's a vertical outside receiver. You know, look at the route tree from Ohio State
15:45where like there's none of this stuff here underneath. It's all the downfield stuff that he's running. And by the way, he's really good at that stuff, running
15:55these downfield routes. He was really good against press man coverage. 89th percentile success rate versus man, 75th against press, which is why he's been an
16:02outside receiver for this team in the preseason. And we just I I think it's been nice to see that he hasn't been
16:08stuck at X. Like kind of looks like they're going to sacrifice Calvin Ridley, who nobody talks about and like nobody wants to draft, but kind of
16:15sounds like they're going to they're going to sacrifice Calvin Ridley and like Elliio Manor as the ex receivers.
16:20and they are at least moving Carnell Tate around. He was kind of a Z receiver, a little bit ZX split, hybrid,
16:26depending what they wanted to do with Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State. So, there is that. But, um, man, the thing that to
16:33me that is more concerning for Carnell Tate, is less about him and more about this young man right here, Wale Robinson. Like, you're telling me that
16:43we just watched Wandelle do all these routes that we just were not highlighting that Carninal Tate did not run as a prospect. Um, and he's got
16:51all these designer touches. And by the way, he was pretty good on those last year. 40th percentile success rate vers uh zone, 44th against man coverage.
16:59Likeale doesn't totally stink. And he runs some breaking routes down the football field, too, which I thought was interesting to see from him last year.
17:07But Brian Dal knows this guy and like it's a quarterback who's going to be playing in chaos behind a bad offensive
17:11line. Like Wandell Robinson is absolutely going to scam some receptions. He might lead this team in catches this year, which to me
17:20I just look at that ADP like you said Carnell Tate I mean he goes right ahead of Brian Thomas Jr. There's
17:27>> literally no difference between the two from a role perspective vertical boundary players >> but one of them plays on an offense
17:33coached by Liam Cohen who I would take over Brian Dal you know 11 times out of 10 and we've seen Brian Thomas be really
17:40good in the NFL before. Uh so if you're just looking for that like vertical big play X I would take Brian Thomas Jr.
17:46ahead of him. Um, I can't get too too crazy low on Carnotate because he is a good player and like rookies and all
17:51that, but yeah, I don't think his role is set up to be very quarterback proof, which makes me nervous where he's going
17:56right now.
17:57>> All right, there you go. Um, I I'm with you, man. I am just nervous about the Tennessee offense in general. I I don't
18:03see a lot like I know they made a lot of moves like Juan Dale and Carnell Tate and stuff, man, but overall I I'm
18:11worried about their offense, dude. I I I don't know how good they're going to be.
18:14I think there might be a bottom 10 unit uh in the NFL. Um, okay. In Las Vegas, Trey Tucker is somebody that you have
18:21highlighted in a previous uh DraftKings basketball video. Right now, he's got a DK where he's going really late, man.
18:28His ADP is 157.5. He's got a 14th round grade, and he has actually moved down nearly 12 spots since game open. So,
18:38he's moved down one full round. Has Trey Tucker. He's coming off of a season where he has 57 receptions and 696
18:46yards. Um, if Trey Trey Tucker abs his game screams spike week, dude. But talk to me about Trey Tucker. He's got
18:55potentially Kirk Cousins who looks I mean he looks triple washed. I mean, this guy is prepackaged lettuce is is Kurt Cousins, but I Okay, he'll he'll
19:06get the start for a bit. Fernando Mendoza, the rookie is anticipated again in there. But again, I would just say overall, while I like some things about
19:14Mendoza, I think we can all sit here and be honest and say Las Vegas's quarterback room, again, most likely bottom five, certainly bottom 10 in the
19:23NFL.
19:25>> Yeah, I don't know if I've talked about Trey Tucker. I know we talked about Jaylen Naylor in one of these basketball
19:30videos at one point. I obviously have talked a lot about Jack B. We just talked about Trey Tucker though on an
19:34episode of Reception Perception, the show. But I have definitely settled on the fact that Trey Tucker, if you're drafting a Raiders receiver, especially
19:41in baseball, this should be the guy that gets taken first among the Raiders receivers. Um, which I believe he does.
19:49But still, wide receiver 63, very valuable uh ADP there for me because like Trey Tucker is not just some BS player. I mean, he's actually got some
20:01skills here to his game.
20:04um ran a very balanced route tree last year as you're seeing here. You know, just some slants and stuff like that.
20:10Cool. Like a lot of yellow routes, right, which are just he ran those at an average rate. So, it feels pretty
20:16balanced. I don't think that route tree is going to feel very balanced this year. I think it's going to be indexed
20:21on these three bad boys right here. The nines, the posts, the digs. This is what this offense wants. They want to push it
20:28over the middle of the field on play action concepts. And this guy can do that, bro. like he burns. Uh my
20:34colleague Nate Ty at Yahoo had a stat, this is I think even heading into last season, that from like a miles per hour
20:40perspective, how often he hits top speed, he might be the fastest player in the NFL. And you know what, the film
20:45backs it up with those vertical route success rates. Like he actually does separate down the field, man. He is a he's just so fast and really decisive on
20:54these post and digs. When he plants that foot, he rips it inside and separates, particularly against zone coverage. 44th percentile. We can work with that as a
21:03starting receiver. Almost 62% routes against zone. We know the league plays more zone coverage right now overall.
21:09Sounds like Tucker is the guy that's emerged as the, you know, guy that's going to play the most snaps, which he
21:14did that last year, dude. Trey Tucker, what do you He had just 696 yards, not very much. 896 snaps. That was the ninth
21:21most of the wide receiver position last year because he just played the most of this team. I think he's played the most
21:25again. Like last preseason game, all the other Raiders receivers played. He rested with the starters. I think it's because he fits these big breaking
21:34downfield routes that this offense wants to hit off play action. So yeah, spike weak player, dude. Trey Tucker, give me that every time in baseball in the 60s.
21:44Uh I love where Trey Tucker is going right now. So you know, QB proof. I mean, he he ain't that kind of player,
21:51right? We're not talking about like No, the answer is not QB proof, but good value in baseball drafts that fits the
21:58offense. Definitely. I think so.
22:00>> The number that surprises me when I look at that route chart, 76.9% success rate on the dig. And when we think about
22:06Clint Kubak coming through and, you know, again, his, you know, his lineage and all that stuff, like again, when you think about Shanahan, McVey, Kubiaak,
22:14again, they're all a very similar, you know, style of offense. And those those offenses win and you got to win on these
22:22digs. You know, when cover two is your meta, you know, there's there's certain ways to attack. And for me, I think the
22:29dig route is one of those ways you can attack the cover two. Um, and it tra that number, man, I'm telling you, that
22:35number really surprised the hell out of me, Matt. I'm not going to lie to you, man. 76.9% success rate on the dig. That is an
22:42extremely useful player, especially in today's defensive meta, playing for a guy in Clint Kubak, who I think will know how to draw up those plays as well.
22:52I I was not a Trey Tucker guy. As a matter of fact, I told a um I told Ted Wyn, who covers the Raiders and has been
23:01covering the Raiders for a really long time. I told Ted Wyn uh at this time last year, I said, "Ted, come on, man.
23:08Trey Tucker's not a real wide receiver, bro. He is not an NFL level wide receiver." And I was wrong. [laughter] Sorry, Ted. Ted was arguing. He's like,
23:18"Come on." He's like, he looked at me like this. He's like, "Really?" And I was like I was like, "Dude, you see him
23:24every day, man. You tell me what's going on." He's like, "No, this guy can play a little bit." I was like, "Oh, okay." I
23:28disagreed, but I was like, "All right."
23:30>> He's like 5'9, 188 pounds. He's he's small, but he's mighty, you know, or at least he's fast. At least he can get
23:36open. He's fast and explosive and wins against zone coverage. But yeah, obviously an incomplete player. I I highlighted the zone success rates. You
23:43know, 19th percentile success rate for man, 20th against press. We're not talking about some secret superstar here, but um a useful player for a team
23:51that needs some speed. Um and like they're going to want him on the field to open things up for the run game for
23:55Brock Bower. So going to be on the field a lot, going to rip it downfield. I think that's good enough at wide
23:59receiver 63 in basketball.
24:01>> Yes. I By the way, I misspoke. I said he had moved down. He's moved up. He has moved up nearly 12 spots. So he's moved
24:07up uh an entire round since the game open. So go check him out. DK8P of 157.5.
24:13Obviously, we want you to go to check out DraftKings, play their best baseball game. It's a lot of fun. Um, I I love
24:19the set it and forget it nature of baseball. You you you clock in once a week. You have no decisions to make. You
24:25just see whether or not you won. You know, [laughter] that's not bad. It is a really good mix, especially when you're talking about,
24:32you know, operating four, five multip.
24:42Uh, plus you could win a million bucks.
24:43So, that's not [laughter] bad either, too. That's pretty good. Anyways, we got to get out of here. Be sure to check out
24:49DraftKings and be sure to check out uh the amazing data that you saw. Of course, that is on the website receptionperception.com.
24:56For Matt Harmon, I'm James Co. We got to go, but remember, it's never too late to chase your dreams. Peace.
