Developed a fit score that tells us if a rookie WR fits with his QBs passing tendencies using a 12-zone usage map.

10,000 word article covers 15 WRs in the 2026 class.

Makai Lemon🍋:

❌Fit Score: 76.0: Neutral/mixed fit
❌Conflict Score: 19.5 Moderate

@JoeOrrico Finally someone using logic about London. The hype train has been insane recently. He’s a talent WR but his situation is bad and he’s proved very little in 4 years to garner the glazing he’s been getting lol

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

Love that take about film analysis.

I’m with you on the KC Concepcion analytics, but if we exclude his Sophmore year where his coach used him in a gadget role (data support this), he checks almost all the boxes. I know that’s cherry picking, but it’s very interesting. Especially the role he’d play in a Todd Monken offense. You think that’s too much of a cherry pick from a data standpoint for him?

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

Who would you rather have as a fantasy owner? These are the players stats over the past 4 years on a per game basis:

- Player 1: 4.9 rec, 64 yrds, .35TDs (1 - 1K+ szn)
- Player 2: 5.2 rec, 68 yrds, .35 TDs (3 - 1K+ szn)

One of these players is a full round discount at ADP.

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

I’d think there is a higher chance for Hendo to hit that top 5. A year 2 RB seeing an uptick in usage isn’t unheard of as he learns the playbook, develops, and builds rapport. Add his pass catching ability, explosiveness, & great offensive.

Judkins hitting top 5 means the Browns have to be good, have a reliable QB, and win. Betting on the Browns to do that seems less likely than Hendos usage going up imo haha

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@FF_mbryan4445 @SleeperNFL @SleeperBrowns @BrownsLead @Patriots_Lead I agree about the split backfield with Hendo but “easy” is a stretch. Below are rush attempts per game in a Monken offense. When they are playing from ahead, his RBs see insane usage. When they are losing, they don’t.

2023: 8.2 vs 1.5
2024: 11.8 vs 3.6
2025: 7.7 vs 6.5

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@SleeperNFL @SleeperBrowns @BrownsLead @Patriots_Lead If Cleveland somehow wins more than 10 games and doesn’t get blown out weekly it’s Judkins. But that’s a BIG delusional if

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

Malik Willis career:

- 155 pass attempts
- 74 rush attempts

He has the ability to be a Justin Fields esk QB1 simply due to his rushing upside even if the offense is terrible.

Currently QB21 and basically free.

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

Rachee Rice going in the 3rd round is absolutely bonkers. Getting a free top 5 WR1 in 2026 will win people championships.

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@NoFilm_Analysis Only concern I have with this is that I don’t expect CLE to win much in 2026. This is the breakdown of leading vs trailing APG (@FantasyPtsData)

2023: 8.2 vs 1.5
2024: 11.8 vs 3.6
2025: 7.7 vs 6.5

It will be a huge if they find a QB and way to compete. Might be 2027+ tho

@GuruFantasyWrld @RyanJ_Heath Glad the big boys are catching up. I coined 2025 the year of the RB when I wrote this exact same thing up last year. Glad to see the community course correcting.

@TomBradyEgo ARSB & Olave disrespect never ends

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@MLamboLambert @17gamepace True. And looking at players from this century, he’s also no Peyton Manning or Kurt Warner

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@SmolaDS I can't tell if your comment is facetious..but playing some of the best defenses in the NFL early & not having a QB will do that.

First 6 weeks rush ypg:

- CLE: #3
- JAX: #8
- MIN: #24
- DEN: #6
- DET: #11
- GB: #1

He went from hard mode early, to easy mode late in the season

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@TheTommyTutu This is basically:

- 2027 1st mystery box with the opportunity cost of a year
OR
- A 25 y/o WR who has finished as WR25, WR16, & WR6 in 3 of the past 4 years who just got a better coach/scheme & young QB

The other 2nd round picks are just noise. Seems like a logical “NO” 🤷‍♂️

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

Aaron Donald is only 35. Why not?

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Full trade terms, per ESPN sources:

🏈Rams receive: Myles Garrett

🏈Browns receive: Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 2nd and a 2029 3rd.

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

To me, this shows the Rams conviction in Ty Simpson as their future QB1.

[Underdog NFL @UnderdogNFL]

Trade summary:

Rams get - Myles Garrett
Browns get - Jared Verse, 2027 1st-round pick, 2028 2nd-round pick, 2029 3rd-round pick

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

KC Concepcion:

YPRR Overall/ Zone/ Man

- Freshman: NC State: 2.30/ 2.10/ 2.74
- Sophomore: NC State: 1.28/ 0.95/ 2.02
- Junior: Texas A&M: 2.45/ 2.51/ 2.82

Sophomore year he was used more in a gadget role. He saw 8% less deep usage & 8.7 YPR.

Data isn’t telling his full story

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

This got me thinking about the 2026 class.

Regular season data: R1/R2 WRs, my zone YPRR threshold is 2.2(+1K yds).

Across all drafted WRs, career YPRR/zone/man does not create a clean universal threshold. But, you drop late WR hits (pick 100+), it becomes a strong separator.⬇️

[Fantasy Syndicate @Syndicate_FF]

@CoachspeakIndex Not Makai Lemon. The WR1 that everyone seems to be fading because of “fit”
