These are Walter’s Sunday Nuggets featuring:

Last week I asked which top WR would NOT be a first round pick in 2027 fantasy drafts…

🟨🟨🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️ Ja'Marr Chase
🟨🟨🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️ Puka Nacua
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Amon Ra St. Brown
🟨🟨🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️ Jaxson Smith-Njigba



The Results:

This one is VERY surprising to me considering the consistency that Amon Ra St. Brown has had since his emergence in 2021.

Ja’Marr Chase has the fewest concerns of anybody in this group. He’s 26 years old, tied to Joe Burrow, and on a roster that is built out around him getting a high volume of receptions.

Amon Ra St. Brown has only ever finished top-7 or higher amongst WRs. He’s played through injuries and isn’t overly reliant on top-end speed to get open. Some of the concern in the comments I got seemed to be tied to Jared Goff getting a little long in the tooth. At 31 years old, I don’t think think this is warranted.

Puka Nacua is even younger than Chase, has an insane volume floor, and is tied to Sean McVay. But he is also tied to a QB in his late 30s with Matt Stafford, and had some…we’ll call them strange…stories come about him in the offseason that make it justifiable to question his stability in comparison to these other guys.

JSN has only one season as an elite fantasy player under his belt and will need to prove he can do it with a different offensive coordinator. He is the player amongst this group that I am easily the most scared of entering this season.

This weeks poll…

There’s been a lot of buzz in fantasy circles about TreVeyon Henderson being a great value in drafts this year…despite falling out of favor during New England’s playoff run. So let’s check-in on this.
