ADVICE

Draft JSN In Early Rounds

  • Draft Jaxon Smith-Njigba as early as the late second round in 12-team PPR formats.
  • Trust his route-running and slot flexibility despite OC/QB questions, Chris Harris says.
INSIGHT

Slot Usage Masks JSN's Range

  • JSN has been the most slot-heavy receiver in the league but shows true multi-spot ability.
  • That slot usage masked deeper route and downfield upside, per Adam Aizer.
ADVICE

Target Ricky Pearsall Mid-Rounds

  • Consider drafting Ricky Pearsall in rounds 7–9 due to his explosive playmaking upside.
  • Dave Richard and Chris Harris believe he can become San Francisco's top target and outproduce current ADP.
