Stay calm… but football is back this week! We are only 2 days away from the NFL Season Opener, my excitement is through the roof.
Now before Week 1 gets here, there’s still some work to do.
Here are 5 WRs you should try to buy low on BEFORE Week 1:
#5 Carnell Tate
His value is falling over 3 poor preseason games so now is the perfect buying window.
Tate was the 1st WR off the board in this years NFL Draft and he led college football in catches of 30+ yards last year with 0 drops.
The preseason was ugly (0 catches, 1 drop), but camp has been the opposite story. Don’t let this limited preseason sample scare you, buy low…
#4 Malik Nabers
He led the entire NFL in target share as a rookie and he's back at practice catching balls.
Through 4 games last year before the ACL, Nabers was averaging an elite 28% target share and a 43.5% first read target share.
But after a recent interview, people are now worried that Nabers won’t be active Week 1. This is the perfect time to try and buy low on a potential Top 10 fantasy WR…
#3 Mike Evans
He's a buy-low candidate because people are worried about the substation.
Evans is battling some nagging injuries in camp but expects to play Week 1 and would be the 49ers #1 WR
Jauan Jennings is gone, Pearsall and Kirk are on IR, and Kittle is 33 coming off a torn Achilles. Evans is best the 49ers have, especially in the redzone…
#2 Ladd McConkey
From Weeks 5-10 last year McConkey averaged 14.5 PPG on a 26% target share before injuries derailed everything.
Keenan Allen is now gone so 122 targets from last year are out the door and weren’t replaced.
Plus Mike McDaniel is the new OC. Everything out of camp says McDaniels wants to use Ladd all over the place and potentially like he used Tyreek Hill in 2023…
#1 Rashee Rice
He has a 99.5 reception line in the betting markets yet people are selling him over a few camp videos saying he looks '“bad”.
Leave it to Twitter to become experts on route running after seeing just 1-2 half reps in practice.
But Rice played 8 games last year and finished as the WR5 in points per game at 15.5, leading the entire NFL in red zone target share and designed target share.
Camp has never been his thing and it's never once mattered. He produces every single time he steps on the field. Buy low if you can…
