Lord Kollmann we need dynasty rankings I beg

Just curious, did you watch any tape on Casey Washington? Would love to know if you have any interest
Mastergamer416
Did you watch Casey Washington from Illinois?
Justin Cieszykowski
Great list. Oddly I’ve seen so many predictions about drafting Brendan Rice early, but I don’t see it. Just extremely raw.

Been a follower for a few years in tube. Very happy to support the Patreon fyi. Some of my favorite football content on the internet
Brett Kollmann
Oh that is an EXCELLENT question. I would probably put Bowers in tier 2 to tier 3 as far as pure receiving threats go. He's somewhere in between AD Mitchell and BTJ. But he'll go before at least one of those receivers - probably - just because finding H-Backs like him is really hard, and there just aren't that many of them in the league. It's a question of supply and demand, and there's LOTS of demand.
Brett Kollmann
I just think everyone has their own personal preferences for the skillsets they are looking for, and Rome's jump ball skillset just tends to be slightly less sexy to a lot of people than the dynamic things Nabers can do in space with the ball in his hands.
Brett Kollmann
I think he is an incredible separator, and someone who you can really count on to dominate against man coverage and move the chains when you really need it most. He's like an even twitcher version of Julian Edelman to me, and that's saying something. He can play for a long, long time as a dedicated slot receiver.
Brett Kollmann
Well, if Houston still had their 23rd pick I would have said them. But now, I would probably say either Baltimore or Kansas City would be the best landing spots for his career. I could see Buffalo as well, but culturally I think he fits the Ravens and Chiefs just a wee bit cleaner.
Brett Kollmann
With this class specifically, I like to think of it less as guys being low, and more so that there are just A LOT of really good players that I happen to have ahead of them :)
Brett Kollmann
I'll definitely release full dynasty rankings after the draft is done and settled :)
Brett Kollmann
Assuming it's a 12 team league, I expect both of those guys to probably go somewhere around the early 3rd-ish round.
Brett Kollmann
You definitely need a QB with an accurate deep ball outside the numbers to really take the most advantage of Rome, that's for sure
Brett Kollmann
Honestly they are SO CLOSE that to me it just comes down to the role you want to fill. If you want an outside receiver, go with XL. If you want a big slot, then you go with Keon imo.
Brownguy
Great list and always love the content. Where would you slot Bowers in comparison to these WRs regardless of position. Just 8 days away from knowing more
Michael Ferguson
Why do you think Rome is ranked lower then Malik Nabers despite you thinking he is better
Lucas Wollin
Malik Washington is a guy who has had no buzz, but you've got at WR 9. What have you seen from him to give him that day 2. maybe even round 2, draft capital viability?
Salvador Estrada
What is Adoni Mitchell best landing spot? I have a prime position to take him or Brian Thomas jr.
Hunter Reynolds
Why in the world is Jamari Thrash so low?!?!
Kate and Andrew
Hey, Brett. These PDFs are great. I know you're not really a dynasty content channel, but my league does our dynasty draft at the same time everyone is doing their redraft drafts, and I would greatly appreciate it if you continued to sprinkle in some dynasty analysis as we get closer to the start of the season and you start hearing about how these kids are performing in camp.
Travis Wagner
I know this isn't a dynasty specific post, but where would you be comfortable drafting Corley and Malik Washington in dynasty based on their talent? Know you've been higher than most on those guys
Carlos Peterson
My opinion on this receiver class has arrived
Janiel
I love rome odunze but I just don’t think the giants can maximize his skill set more than nabers. Please prove me wrong🙏🏼
jacob stark
I am very torn between XL and Keon, high on both, have them 8 and 9 respectively. I am having trouble deciding who to put ahead, one day Ill have Keon the next Ill have XL its that close. Im leaning giving Keon the edge because he’s 3 years younger and has shown us a tad more. Is there a quick pitch you could sell me on XL> Keon or are they close enough on your board that you think my reasoning is valid enough and Keon ahead by 1 is fine. sorry for the rant, thanks so much if you ended up reading this all lmao!!
Brett Kollmann
I tried to get at least 4-5 games for everyone this year, sometimes more if there was an injury situation or they had wonky tape that needed more time
Brett Kollmann
Priority UDFA grade for me, so he'll be on a roster I promise!
Brett Kollmann
He is the one prospect this year where the film and the numbers tell two different stories and you could make arguments for either one. For me personally, I just trust me eyes on this one and hope for the best.
Brett Kollmann
LOL
Brett Kollmann
I can do Franklin after the draft once we know where he is for sure
Brett Kollmann
I seem to be in a much different spot on him than everyone else
Brett Kollmann
Honestly for fantasy it just depends on where they end up
John Loiacono
How much of a player do you watch to make your assessment, and is it player dependent? Do you pick certain games against top competition? Thanks!
sauce0534
personally I think analytics are useful to a small degree but are too heavily influenced by playcalling, scheme, and QB (EWers) to be a golden bullet that predicts success.. if AD with all the talent you see on tape was in a Washington offense with Penix or LSU with Daniels.. goodnight 📈
FindACure
No Ty James? List invalid
Jason Eng
Definitely depends on draft situation. Whoever ends up being wr1 on their team will probably have higher usage. If one of them drops to a team like the bears they probably won't get as many targets
Tyler
What do you think about the analytics guys who aren't as confident in Adonai? When looking at his target rate, yards per route run, and other metrics he falls towards the bottom. I absolutely love AD and wish for the best, but how do you think he'll be in fantasy?
Evan Allouche
The roast of Troy Franklin
Evan Zemlin-Kisor
Any chance you do a Polk, Roman Wilson, or Troy Franklin video?
Sergio Ponce
Rome odunze over nabers has me questioning who I want to draft at 1.02, I was previously fixed on nabers
Cole Hewitt
Lol Troy Franklin tanked for ya huh
Sergio Ponce
Been waiting for this!! Thank you sir 😮💨
