On today's episode, we outlined the eight most shocking wide receiver ADPs out there. How do we define shocking? Well, I took all of your home league, your redraft ADP platforms and averaged those ADPs together, then took Hayden Nyes and then compared them. So we found where we disagree the most with the sites that you are drafting your individual teams from. So it's just our goal to convince you that we're smarter than everyone else. Like the two headliners for us, always Christian Watson, Parker Washington, we've talked a lot about those names this summer. So we have eight more for you that we are planting our flags on. We have full belief in comparison to the public and to the market out there. So stay tuned.
Coming up, Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh Hayden is right after this. I want all of you to take a moment, close your eyes, and think of the best sporting event that you've ever attended. That instead of just sitting on your couch watching on television, you actually went to the game. For me, I was in college, Steph Curry Davidson was playing the NCAA tournament against Georgetown in Raleigh. It was like Patrick Ewing Jr., all these like 6'11 guys versus Steph Curry and these 6'7 dudes. And I was like, I have to go see this. I have to go see the guy that is launching shots from half court, even if they have no chance to win. And guess what? They won. And it was so much better because I was actually there versus sitting at home. And you can be there in the action by using Game Time. College football is coming up, NFL preseason to watch your favorite rookies. It's all available here on Game Time. And it's not just that. Like I am scrolling to see what is available this weekend in my area. I can go see Hilary Duff if I want to or the Dirty Govnas. I mean, whatever you want, it's here on Game Time.

Eight wide receivers that Hayden and I have ranked drastically different than your home leagues. Yes, we took the ADPs from all of these redraft sites, packaged them into just one number, compared that one number to Hayden and I's positional rankings for wide receivers.
Now it's our job to convince the people that we are simply smarter than these platforms. You think we have it in us.

**Hayden Winks** (2:32)
We'll see. I'll try to keep it brief. We've talked about some of these players extensively, and then I also went into the lab talking about some players. Maybe we haven't talked about enough and how we rank them differently.

**Josh Norris** (2:42)
Yeah. There are eight names we're going to hit on today. I will say there are two headliners at the top that aren't in that eight, that I think kind of define this idea for us this year. That is Christian Watson, who is wide receiver 29 in your home league ADPs right now.
He's ranked for us as wide receiver 23 or 24 Then Parker Washington, composite wide receiver 32 For us, he's wide receiver 27 or 25 How do you feel about those two names defining us in terms of wide receivers we are overdrafting compared to the public?

**Hayden Winks** (3:12)
I like this a lot. We have high end efficiency from both of the offenses. We have high end efficiency on both of these players and then emerging players who people probably don't realize just how good they possibly can be. Christian Watson, wide receiver 17 per game last year coming off of a torn ACL. They gave him over $100 million in an extension. Right here, they let Romeo Dobbs walk the trade, Dontavian Wicks. He's going to be a full time player. I think that there's some evidence that the Packers are going to be tinkering with their offense, which means more plays, more pass attempts, and that defense isn't going to be quite as good early on without Michael Parsons. So I really like Christian Watson in particular.

**Josh Norris** (3:48)
Yeah. When I zoomed out and asked myself, okay, why am I that much higher than all these platforms on both of these names? It's that I don't think maybe people have caught up to how much they have changed or improved their games. Like you said, for Christian Watson, I mean, he evolved.
