@petebartausky@JustinM_NFL I’ll get him into my Top 150 yet. He’s been hovering around 170ish, but I’m sure I can squeeze out Caleb Douglas or Tre Tucker to get the WR2 on an efficient offense in there instead.
@SleeperNFL@SleeperMiami Yes. He’ll prove just enough, if not more than enough, to keep them out of picking from the Top 5 this year. That’ll but at least one more year of being the starting QB for the Dolphins.
Which WRs does this raise red flags with?
1. Tetairoa McMillan
Bryce Young has a career average of 179.9 passing YPG, and has never eclipsed 190.0 passing YPG in a single season
2. Malik Nabers
Over his starts last season, Dart averaged only 189.3 passing YPG
3. Carnell Tate
Cam Ward averaged only 186.4 passing YPG last season
4. Drake London
Penix was comfortably ahead of the minimum threshold at 220.2 passing YPG, but Tua Tagovailoa finished with only 190.0 passing YPG in 2025
@4thDownDesigns My thoughts exactly. I had to double check my rankings because I like them both A LOT.
But you’re 100% right. That little tiny ittybitty nuisance of the tush push had me slide Omarion just ahead of Saquon.
That’s the debate. I like them both. I like them all.
I just prefer the offense environment, playcaller, and QB for Loveland against McBride. The Bears are also going to live in a shootout environment since they’re pairing a Top 5 offense with a Top 5 defense.
Add that to everything else and he should outperform McBride. Getting him (at least) a full round later is just the cherry on top.
I’m doing no such thing. I’m not betting against McBride being great. I’m betting against EVERYTHING being historically perfect again.
McBride in 2025:
169 targets = NFL TE RECORD
126 catches = NFL TE RECORD
11 TDs was up from 2 in 2024
He had 51 MORE targets than any other TE last season.
Arizona in 2025:
1st in pass rate
1st in pass attempts
Since Travis Kelce’s 2018-20 run, no TE1 has repeated as TE1 the following year. And I think that streak continues this year with Bowers and Loveland outperforming him.

Exactly, regression should be coming. TE Record in Targets and Receptions. Brissett led the leagues in drop backs and pass rate.
Everything broke perfectly for him last year. I just have a slight fade on him. Nothing major.
(I like Loveland as TE02 because of the offense, playcaller, QB, and putrid defense the bears have - should be shootouts galore).
Couldn’t agree more! Already showed a real connection with Shough (maybe it’s the brief stint they shared at Oregon together) and you just really want any piece of the NOS offense you can get. Especially with Olave hobbled at the moment.
He’s my favorite late round TE by a mile.
DEBATE OF THE DAY: Rashee Rice or Parker Washington?
I’m buying ALL the hype on Parker Washington, and have just now nudged him ahead of Rashee Rice in my rankings. Click the article to find out why.

They most certainly can both eat. And I think they both will. But for fantasy, I much prefer the receiver who gets to run the entire route tree, including those ultra valuable underneath crossers that have become a calling card of Coen’s offense. That’s Wahington.
Washington gives you the much safer weekly floor without sacrificing the potential for boom weeks. BTJ can absolutely explode, but his role is so much more volatile. I’d just never feel as confident putting him into my lineup every week.
FADE OF THE DAY: KC Concepcion
Love the player. Absolutely HATE the zip code.
Cleveland was an offensive wasteland last year and enters 2026 still deciding between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson at QB.
Watson has been horrendous as a Brown, just went 5/12 for 36 yards and an INT in a preseason game, then somehow followed it up with the most insane press conference of all time.
The same Watson whose Cleveland tenure already includes awful football, an 11-game NFL suspension for…you know…conduct that at its most charitable, makes him a fucking creep, and at its worst, paints a far darker and fucked up picture.
And now he’s blaming Browns fans for having the audacity to boo him. Boohoo DeShaun. Fuck off.
Maybe Concepcion is talented enough to survive this shit show. At WR48, I’ll gladly let someone else find out. Take Matthew Golden, De’Zhaun Stribling, or anyone else in that range that doesn’t have to deal with this absolute shit show.
