Ends 11-16-26 at 11:59 PM Eastern. 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. 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 Govness. I mean, whatever you want, it's here on game time. So get your friends together, get your tickets and tell them it's game time.

Shout out, Farmers, that beautiful logo on our screen. Hayden, no surprise, Puka Nacua is your wide receiver one leading off the S tier.

I mean, 55, 51 and 54 passes over the last three games. The last player to do that, Drew Bledsoe, back in 1995, in terms of attempting 50 more passes in three straight games, that's straight from the worksheet.

Hayden Winks (2:51)

And then Puka, he had 37 expected half PBR points. That's the most since I've been running the model there for any wide receiver. So just insane stuff that he's going on. 44% target share, a lot of like quick hitting stuff. You look at the Rams offense, not that not as many explosives as it was before, which kind of gets us like, I'm not going to call them a PBR scan, like if you're getting a lot more short passes that are working, like that's how you can rack up even more fantasy points. He's a wide receiver too, a wide receiver one overall usage, you know, 32 point team total for the Rams against the Cardinals, who haven't really stopped anyone. He also has a three game streak of a hundred plus receiving yards against Arizona Cardinals.

Josh Norris (3:30)

Right. Huge favorite. So I doubt Matthew Stafford makes it for straight games of 50 plus passes, but at the same time, like you said, they are projected for 32 points. So you would like to think when the Rams are projected for 32 points, that Puka Nacua finds the end zone on top of it.

Next up for you is Drake London. Are we going to keep S here just to one name or should we just, you know, have some fun and keep this going? Because I think you could make a conversation that it's just Puka Nacua.

Hayden Winks (3:53)

It is absolutely just Puka Nacua. Okay.

Josh Norris (3:56)

All right. Let's have some fun then. As you can see, we tier this thing out. So if we're being honest to ourselves, Drake London is in a tier below, but number one, the A tier. This is against the Chicago Bears.

I mean, if the Bears can create pressure, then this could be a bit of a different day, but especially without Montez Sweat, like this should be a massive, massive contest for Drake London.
