  • PendingBob HarrisSleeper Calls

    Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (QB nineteen)

    the ECR has him as QB nineteen. You have him a little bit highert QB sixteen... if you find yourself at the tail end of the quarterback two lists, I think he's won with upside... that rushing equity is going to give him at least some upside

    Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost (wide Receiver thirty nine)

    Lemon's in a great spot assuming there is no a J. Brown. I think he's more I think he's a certain hit this year if AJ Brown is gone, so I will probably be spending considerable capital on him at that spot.
