00:00Let's go out to Las Vegas because offensive ecosystems are in part about who's throwing

00:06the ball, but it's also who's catching the ball.

00:08It's also who's getting the target share.

00:10I think while most defenses are going to plan for a particular receiver on this team, they

00:14may be forgetting about another one.

00:16Joe, take it from there.

00:17Yeah.

00:18Wide receiver 54 Jacoby Myers, especially in PPR leagues.

00:21He's like a double digit week every single week.

00:23And let's just dial it back in 2021 with the Patriots.

00:26He finished as wide receiver 33.

00:28That's a wide receiver three.

00:29He's very good.

00:30He's being drafted as a five right now.

00:31In 2022 with the Patriots, he finishes wide receiver 28.

00:35Last year with the, with the, excuse me, with the Las Vegas Raiders, he finished as wide

00:40receiver 24, 24.

00:42Now I understand that Garter Minshew is going to be the quarterback, but it wasn't like

00:45last year.

00:46The quarterback play was off the charts.

00:47Good.

00:48And you know, the Jimmy Garoppolo, the Aiden O'Connell's, all of that mix of quarterbacks.

00:51So the quarterback play, if anything might be a little steadier this year.

00:55So I'm looking at Jacoby Myers as a guy that's floating around late in drafts, that if you

00:59are looking for some help, some depth at wide receiver making up ground, this is a guy who's

01:04basically finishing as a wide receiver three, three straight years.

01:08And now he's being drafted in the wide receiver 53 range.

01:12That to me is a value.

01:13That's what I'm going to take.

01:15Is this upside huge?

01:16No, he's not going to become Devante Adams all of a sudden, but Devante Adams is another

01:21year older.

01:22And we've seen that when the guys are in the league 10 years or so, they start to see decline

01:26and drop off.

01:28Sometimes the body doesn't quite work the same way.

01:30So regardless, even if things just kind of stay the course, Jacoby Myers is a wide receiver

01:36three at wide receiver five ADP.
