Borg, Betts and a Baller, the hosts of DFS and sports betting show, have successfully hit 80% of their season-long bets last year including a 30 to one offensive player of the year. The show has now been rebranded as DFS and betting for future episodes.
The hosts discuss analyzing wide receiver prospects and their expected draft capital, and the likelihood of their success in fantasy football.
In fantasy drafting, it is wiser to select a sure thing with an 80% ceiling than a 50-50 shot at a solid but not spectacular player. The hit rate for the top prospects is usually over 50%, and it's a good move to choose them as they provide more security.
The speaker discusses his evaluation process for identifying promising wide receivers by looking at their route running abilities, early career breakout, and potential for consistent targets.
The hosts discuss the potential of USC's Jordan Addison and evaluate how rookie performance can affect fantasy projections, with Jameson Williams potentially having a lower hit rate due to his lack of production in his rookie year.
Despite his weight, Jordan Addison is ranked among the top two wide receivers by many NFL scouts, and trust in his draft capital may override this concern.
The potential NFL player has a considerable amount of his receptions from screens, which is a concern. While he had a great early breakout age, the competition in the professional league may prove to be challenging for him.
The potential landing spot of an NFL player, particularly a wide receiver, can significantly impact their draft position. The speaker finds it humorous when people believe they have insider knowledge about team decisions during mock drafts.
The podcast hosts discuss the case of a smaller wide receiver draft prospect and analyze the challenges he faces in the NFL draft.
The speaker argues that although Zay Flowers may be a competent wide receiver in the NFL, he may not have a long shelf life because being a good receiver entails more than just catching passes.
The hosts discuss Marvin Mims and his draft capital, noting that he appears to be a third round pick on many boards despite his second round production. They also consider how his contributions in the return game might translate to success in the NFL.
The host discusses the potential of Josh Downs as a solid wide receiver in PPR production and compares him to Deontay Johnson based on his predicted second round draft pick. Downs' quarterback, Drake Maye, also receives recognition for his skill.
Draft capital is going to be the deciding factor when ranking wide receivers for fantasy football. Often times, players deemed as "one trick ponies" may have the most potential to contribute to PPR value.
Dynasty players should not be afraid to take a chance on lower-drafted players they believe in, such as Terry McLaurin who was a third-round draft pick and exceeded expectations.
Ramon Dr Stevenson is a player worth monitoring in dynasty fantasy football, as his future is uncertain due to potential changes on the New England Patriots' roster. Those who are confident the team will draft a running back early on may want to consider trading Stevenson, while others may choose to hold onto him and see how the situation plays out.
The Vikings may be willing to package and sell wide receiver Chad Beebe before the NFL draft to find someone to pair with Justin Jefferson as they evaluate their team's options.
