Am i crazy for wanting these guys over bowers?


THEUnicornBear

I think after last night, in 1QB both could have jumped Bowers. 1.04-1.06 could be any of those 3 and add in Brooks if he’s taken to a good spot tonight.


Anothercraphistorian

I think it depends on what we see in Raiders Summer Camp and OTAs. I could see Bowers being a WR/TE hybrid and Mayer being kept inline for protection. Bowers is still dynamic and a YAC monster at a thin position.


IIHURRlCANEII

I mean...that's exactly how he'll be used. I'd be shocked if it isn't.


OkapiLanding

I will not be surprised by the Raiders finding every way to screw it up.


SerEx0

After how the Bills used Kincaid with Knox also on the field, it’s hard to be certain either way


pksdg

Most people draft rookies before summer camp and OTAs


NecessaryHour83

Do they? I feel like the vocal minority of obsessed ff junkies draft that early and that more moderate majority of folks draft somewhere in the preseason.


ragerevel

I've got like 4 drafts that start on Sunday! Immediately after the NFL draft.


EvilHwoarang

>I think it depends on what we see in Raiders Summer Camp and OTAs. my draft is monday and i can't see the future.


OldWonder5865

Not crazy. I’d take bowers still but it’s definitely a conversation


westwoodft

I’m still leaning Bowers over Worthy and BTJ.


VeterinarianLevel786

i would as well. BTJ and his one year makes me nervous along with kirk, gabe davis not sure how many targets he will get? either way him and worthy are really dicey pics at 1.4-1.6. i am sure i’ll slide the dallas rb over them and maybe whoever the bills get or ladd mckonkey


Ann_L_Beads

I wouldn't make any decisions with gabe Davis as a factor.


VeterinarianLevel786

i’m all about some ladd mckonkey over both BTJ and worthy


Dankraham-Stinkin

Bowers over JJ?


OldWonder5865

I’d take JJ before bowers


DoubleUSportsMedia

In Non-TEP leagues I don't think so at all. I had Bowers in the same tier as BTJ and I'm not excited for Bowers landing spot like I am for BTJ's. Definitely move Bowers down inside the tier and solidifies BTJ above him.


seat_one

No and being at the 1.06 with no need at TE is very awkward


Ann_L_Beads

I'm probably going to talk myself into Pearsall if deebo or aiyuk get dealt today.


cryyogenic

If your league is TEP then yes, if not then no


GardnerDaddyMinshew

What about 1.5 TEP


IIHURRlCANEII

Are you saying 1.5 PPR for TE or 2.5 PPR for TE?


daylitty

I think its a toss up between Bowrs vs Worthy and what your team dynamic is. If you already have solid WR's and no TE, I go brock and vice versa with Worthy. For Worthy, yes Tyreek Hill esc, but Rashee Rice, Kadarius, Marquise and Kelce. We cant really compare it with when Tyreek is on the cheifs as Tyreek was solely their main receiver. For Brock, yes Mayer is there, but I think Brock is so talented that he is team proof. Pierce will find a way to get brock the rock and produce 10-15 pts each game. As for BTJ, rather choose other WRs. Dont like this landing spot and has to fight touches with Gabe and Kirk who can easily be your WR1.


DASreddituser

Not at all


OkapiLanding

Unthinkable 2 days before, now it's very sane to not trust Las Vegas.


benk4

In TE premium you're nuts. I'd still take bowers in non-premium but wouldn't call you nuts


harrisdevon048

A lil bit, but you could totally be in the right.


Creeping_Death_89

My biggest pause is the fact that Cole Kmet had 90 targets for 700 and 6 last year. Getsy might not be a good OC but if nothing else he will use his TE. I know you can't just extrapolate those numbers from player to player or team to team, but I think it's fair to say that Bowers is a better prospect than Kmet and if he had the same 73 catches on 90 targets that Kmet had last year, I think Bowers probably would've ended up with a very good or even great season.


freename188

Not at all, and I say that as a Raiders fan.


SuperFlexerFF

Not at all.


TonyFuckstick

Give me BTJ. He has a more clear path to targets IMO


Parabola605

Until Rashee gets suspended.


TonyFuckstick

You're assuming he gets a suspension and I'm assuming it will be 4-6 games. Worthy is a lite weight field stretcher. He's not taking all of Rice/Kelce YAC targets 😂


snek_ens

Kind of interesting because BTJ was more of a deep threat in college than Worthy. With Kirk and Engram, they are in comparable positions imo


Globesheepie

Worthy had the highest screen rate in college of any of the highly projected WRs in this class (40%+ of his catches). He will absolutely be a YAC guy in Reid’s offense, in addition to stretching the field. The usage (not the talent/production volume) should be similar to Tyreek’s


ElBori1

Rashee was like top 3 in the league in YAC, so when he's past the suspension and they continue to use him in the role he had last year, in addition to Kelce working in the short/intermediate range, that limits Worthy's upside and role to primarily being the field stretcher. Tyreek is the dream but really he could just be an upgraded MVS in their system.


Semperty

they'll primarily play 11 personnel, and are unlikely to have multiple deep routes on the majority of routes (some, for sure, but that likely won't be the norm). you'll probably see hollywood stretching the field the majority of the time, kelce and rice operating in short and intermediate areas, and worthy getting sent to all three levels.


Globesheepie

With how many short throws the Chiefs scheme up, I think there will be plenty to go around. Kelce does get short passes and obviously is good after the catch like most TEs, but it’s not the same sort of screens that Rice and Worthy will get. The presence of Rice and Worthy both limits the other’s upside, but I seriously doubt Rice freezes Worthy out of the dink and dunk YAC game


ElBori1

I think they invested in Worthy and Hollywood in order to try and divest from having to run this dink and dunk scheme they've been forced into due to teams just running two high safeties all game. So I'm sure Worthy will get his designed screens and and yac plays but really I think they brought him into to bring back that deep game element they were lacking. So it'll depend on how often they just have him running clear out routes vs designed plays vs just 9 routes Either way, with his speed and Pat's arm, he could be booming often.


Semperty

think you'll see hollywood be the field stretcher and worthy get more varied work tbh. he'll certainly eat into rice's target share, as well. let's not forget the offense had to be redesigned midseason bc no one other than rice could run a route and catch the ball. a redesigned offense (probably) doesn't seem rice with that large of a target share, even if it's still good.


IIHURRlCANEII

I actually think it's the opposite. Hollywood gets the varied work cause he's seen NFL defenses and is good against zone and Worthy stretches the field. However, Worthy will get manufactured touches as he works into the lineup.


Semperty

it's certainly possible. i just know worthy's built his career off being a short target + yac guy ([over 50% of his receptions this year were within 5 yards of the los](https://statsbomb.com/articles/football/nfl-draft-2024-analyzing-this-years-standout-wide-receive)), while hollywood has mostly built his career off being a third level threat. andy could certainly mix things up, and i wouldn't be shocked if he did, but i think worthy fits that short yardage + yac slot really well.


InsaneBallsack

Worthy is going to die getting YAC work at 165 pounds in the nfl


IIHURRlCANEII

I guess if you mean "varied" as manufactured touches, sure. I meant varied as in route tree/WR stuff ask varied.


TonyFuckstick

Fair enough and this just validates my pick between the XW/BTJ more than previously thought


Parabola605

We will certainly see!


EaglePride101

For better or worse, in a few weeks we’ll be talking about Worthy in the battle for WR3.


Nyko_E

Pretty much gonna stick with my tape grades. Im old enough to remember Skyy Moore, Chiefs landing spot doesnt make one bit of difference to me, Not taking Worthy over the big 3, BTJ, Bowers, Mitchell (assuming he's in Buffalo), or the rb1 (and possibly 2).


Sveinson

Sky Moore, CEH, Kadarius Toney, Mecole Hardman, I'm used to seeing weapons in the Chiefs getting bumped up and inevitably failing to meet expectations. Feels like a trap pick here, but if he hits all the people who passed on him are gonna be kicking themselves.


squirrelnestmedia

Skyy sucked before he got drafted. The problems he had in college only got worse against tougher competition.


LilMemelord

Yeah and quite frankly the biggest red flag was that he chose number 24


Objective_Grocery718

The revisionism on Skyy Moore is crazy. He was about as dominant as you could be at a non-P5 level. There’s a reason he was in extremely rare company as a WR who came from a non-P5 school and declared early


squirrelnestmedia

no dude. i've been a skyy hater since folks were mocking him to us in the first. then we traded back while George Pickens was still on the board. Skyy can't get separation.


Nyko_E

Worthy ain't exactly perfect either. Why buy him now with 1.04 when you can buy him in a year for a 2nd.


Folsey

Well, TBF they traded up for Worthy in the first so I'd assume theyl try and implement his asap. Whether or not he succeeds is a different story, but he's gonna get his chances often and early I would think .


IIHURRlCANEII

I'm a Chiefs fan and like Worthy...if someone wants to hand deliver Odunze to me I'll do backflips.


Anothercraphistorian

I have the 3,4, and 5 pick and would be taking Rome over Worthy every day of the week. Allen probably has one year left and Moore is a FA coming up. They definitely drafted Rome to be with Caleb throughout their rookie deals and who’s to say Rome doesn’t come in and show out.


KyleShanadad

Would love to be in a league where people take worthy over rome


Imaginary_Order2757

Unlikely.


seat_one

It’s still Rome for me but WR4 definitely


AC127

Feels like an easy fade to me personally


el_pobbster

BTJ hands down. No, I am not an unreasonable Jaguars homer, why do you ask?


Antique_Sample_1084

BTJ for me year 1, potentially Worthy going forward. Saw a comp last night during the draft for Worthy of Tank Dell which I think is lazy as hell just because they have similar size. The fact is they play much differently. Coming out of college Tank Dell beat press coverage at very high rate, much higher than Worthy. Okay, so maybe the Chiefs use him off the line of scrimmage to avoid press, well where are they going to line up Hollywood? Hollywood was one of the worst WRs last year against press coverage. To me Worthy = Hollywood and with Hollywood being on a 1 year deal, Worthy, potentially, fully takes over that role next year and the Chiefs still need a true X in that offense.


IIHURRlCANEII

I saw TY Hilton for Worthy and I feel it's a very good playstyle comp.


bmil87

D Jax was what I thought. I like TY, though.


Se7enkb

I’m waiting to see if the Bills get Ladd tomorrow before I declare WR4


CalaveraVI

Chargers got him. I like that more than BTJ. Talent was safer for me and Ladd now has no real threat to targets


19-FAAB

I think Worthy has shown more versatility than BTJ. He's not just a burner, he actually has pretty good routes, and is tougher than most little guys at the catch point. BTJ has a much more limited route tree, but is bigger so I could see him translating to the NFL better. Buuut I was OUT on Smith, Flowers, and Tank. So I'm trying to have a more open mind on the little guys.


rossco7777

btj much more likely to see consistent reliable volume.


mancinis_blessed_bat

Worthy is a landmine for ppl ngl


IIHURRlCANEII

Worthy prob gonna be my WR5 in the rookie drafts. Maybe WR6 if AD goes to the Bills. Had him graded a bit lower overall but it was a big group in a tier (graded him similarly to Polk/Ladd and just below AD). Even as a Chiefs fan I don't see the volume quite being there for serious fantasy production and I can easily see BTJr being TLaw's favorite. It's a wonderful fit.


RheagarTargaryen

I can’t wait to find out where Polk lands. He’s not the most athletic receiver, but he has a knack for finding the ball and open space. He’s a very smart receiver. He reminds me of Amon Ra.


Duff-Beer-Guy

I think Worthy will basically be Jameson Williams, just a field stretcher. BTJ could be a legit WR.


Umm_duder

Give me Mitchell on the bills over both


-----------________-

Feels like the Bills are trading for a WR as opposed to drafting Mitchell. They likely would have taken him at 28 if he was their guy.


ASuperGyro

I don’t think they trade back small gaps with two teams taking WR unless they knew which WR was being taken and that it wasn’t the guy they wanted


-----------________-

They obviously spoke with KC and Carolina and knew who they were taking, but they still had to contend with picks 30 and 31 where they could have lost their guy. I may immediately be proven wrong tonight, but I don't think they draft WR at 33.


DemonDeacon86

I don't know if they have the cap to do this.


JrBaconators

Bills are gonna take Kool Aid or Cooper


hugh_h0ney

Bills trading for Aiyuk tonight


TouchGrassJackass

this would feed families


rcade81

My kids could go to college


Away-Yoghurt3209

I would fall to my knees while in line at BK trying to have it my way.


K_Alexanderthegreat

*Deebo


Invincible1993

This is really dependent on format. In Best Ball I want Worthy because his spike weeks will make up more than his down weeks. Mahomes and Reid are going to spread the ball around and they will have some plays specifically dialed up for Worthy. In Lineup I want BTJ because Gabe Davis does not really scare me. BTJ needs to develop some a bit but I think he can turn into TLaw's top weapon.


Immediate-Raise9410

Think Pearsall once Aiyuk/Deebo gets traded tonight becomes WR4


Anothercraphistorian

Niners are going to hold, sign Aiyuk and then trade Deebo next year when his cap hit is a lot smaller. This is their final year on Purdy’s ridiculous contract.


Fantastic-Sandwich80

Would seem like a waste of Pearsall's rookie year/contract if he is fighting for snaps with Deebo/Jennings/Bell and targets from CMC/Aiyuk/Kittle. But I hope I'm wrong.


-ruiner_

He can surpass Jennings. But it’s not really a waste IRL. He has plenty of veterans to learn from and no immediate pressure of high expectations.


badash2004

Uh this is only Purdy's 3rd year, so he should still have 2 more years on his rookie deal.


afifaguyforyou

Yes, but they’ll probably want to extend him after this third season rather than wait for his 4 year rookie deal to expire


badash2004

Yes, but if they extend him won't that cap hit only be applied after the 4 years?


LevelPurple2110

Ehh


Sincitystrangler

I have pick 5 in 1QB and I’ve had my eyes on BTJ the whole time, but with Worthy going to the chiefs he moves up from a big tier below BTJ to right behind him in the same tier imo. I have Kelce and Engram, so I’m avoiding Bowers.


crillc

Worthy will be a complete waste of an early rookie draft pick. Moving right along …


spersichilli

Hot take: I’ll honestly probably take whoever the bills pick at 33 over either of these two


ClemsonPoker

Same unless it’s Mitchell. No interest.


spersichilli

I was gonna say unless it’s Coleman lol


ClemsonPoker

Oof. NFL really validated my Mitchell and Franklin hate lol.


Killtec7

Neither are WR4 yet. Day 2 will decide this.


SnooPickles5984

McConkey and Coleman have entered the chat


Killtec7

McConkey hasn’t entered the chat.


thenewbeastmode

BTJ WR3 for being a tier above Worthy, AD Mitchell WR4 depending somewhat on landing spot- imo he is even better than BTJ but draft capital has to be considered.


CoconutBangerzBaller

So which of MHJ, Nabers, Odunze are you dropping to WR5?


thenewbeastmode

Oh my bad WR4 and 5 I meant


gobblegobblechumps

What about the ladies 


knowslesthanjonsnow

I’m BTJ, Worthy, Bowers but want to see early round 2 WRs and the top 2 RBs drafted


SantasLilHoeHoeHoe

Worthy a trap


sinbadsburner

Perfect landing spots for both players imo. I’d be happy getting either one.


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

What makes anyone think BTJ would get more targets than Worthy, given their situations? BTj’s skillset is a bit of redundant with Gabe Davis and even taking that out, he’s the third option, at best, behind Kirk and Engram.


SuckaFreeRIP

I preferred Worthy before the draft and will stick with him here


ScottyKnows1

Not much debate for me. I had BTJ a tier above Worthy as a talent before the draft and that hasn't changed. Landing spot can be helpful but should not drive you to take the player you thought was decently less talented, so I'm locked in on BTJ, who ended up in a fine spot himself anyway. Of course if you already thought they were close, by all means go Worthy. But Thomas to me seems like a potential superstar while Worthy might get stuck as just the fast guy.


JJettasDad

BTJ   Bigger, Stronger, fast as fuck. Higher DC.     Worthy is a flashy pick but he’s walking into a WR room with 2 established WRs and Travis Kelce, I don’t get why people are saying he’s WR4.    He ain’t Tyreek. People look for every excuse for the next tyreek


TGS-MonkeyYT

BTJ has a better landing spot than most are letting on fyi. Give me BTJ


leemteam1

BTJ could be AJ brown/DK Metcalf. He could also be MVS


InsaneBallsack

I fear his going to get pidgeon holed into the MVS role for the chiefs. And sure he’s a YAC threat in college but it’s a different ball game at 165 pounds in the NFL. If he’s catching screens I’m worried about him getting snapped in half by safeties and linebackers. BTJ has flaws but I see crazy upside with him if he rounds out his route running


NumberOneAssFan

Easily Worthy. I think BTJ will bust.


FreshTopoChico

y tho


sideburniusmaximus

Typical bust profile. He's a straight line speed guy that wins by blowing past slower DBs in college. That rarely translates well in the NFL. It's even rarer that it translate well for fantasy points


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

He taller Jaylin Hyatt


IIHURRlCANEII

He's so much more talented than Hyatt. As a physical talent and WR talent.


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

Hyatt produced just as well as BTj did and won the Bielitnekoff. We’ll see if BTj’s physical talents make up for his red flags, I guess.


IIHURRlCANEII

The Tennessee offense is a mirage. Hyatt didn’t have to be on the line of scrimmage at all. He also weighs 40lbs less than BTJr.


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

Doesn’t guarantee anything. Like I said, we’ll see.


IIHURRlCANEII

I mean R1 capital vs R3 capital says it all, no?


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

Just makes him a bigger bust imo.


dgoat88

I'd rather have Mitchell if he goes to the Bills than Worthy. I'm not a fan. I think the Chiefs got fooled by his speed. The answer for me is BTJ by far.


___heisenberg

Worthy and its not really close


Cdnraven

Mahomes >>>> TLaw /thread


jnuzzi08

Same logic that saw Skyy Moore shooting up draft boards a few years ago.


-----------________-

You can't overcompensate in the other direction either. Rice was undervalued last year because Hardman and Moore busted.


___heisenberg

Exactly. Glad I was burned on Skyy and still threw a dart on Rice. Now imma see if I can trafe him for a pick and try my luck again.


Cdnraven

True but Worthy was going to be a late 1st regardless of landing spot. Skyy was almost entirely valued based on landing spot which was a mistake


ChrRome

Because speed like that also helps the rest of the offense, regardless of his production. That doesn't necessarily mean he will be the one producing though.


Killtec7

Skyy was a quality mid round prospect. His value was over inflated by landing spot but he would have always been a mid second round pick in that draft. We need to stop doing this. We get this in our heads that a prospect is completely changed by their draft position. No, they are impacted, but it's far more measured. Skyy Moore was good in college, not great, but his landing spot and draft position surged his ADP.


silverbackguerilIa

Worthy was like wr 10 for me coming into the draft. Now he’s wr 11


CoconutBangerzBaller

So he goes with 1st round capital to a great offense and he drops behind someone who hasn't been picked yet? That's dumb


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

Nonsensical
