David Kitchen argued Calvin Ridley is the other must-have receiver, pointing to Ridley’s league-leading air-yard total from 2023 and an extremely unlucky six-touchdown finish. Kitchen tied those air yards to rookie Cam Ward’s "unbelievable deep ball," predicting the Titans’ revamped offensive line and an upgrade from Will Levis to Ward in Year 2 of the offense will finally translate Ridley’s volume into spike-week scores. Kitchen believes Ridley’s cost has not caught up to the structural upside of a vertical Titans attack and urged drafters to overweight him before summer camp buzz moves ADP.

David Kitchen said you "need" Chris Olave on your DraftKings best-ball rosters if you are telling a ceiling story. Kitchen noted that whenever Olave has actually been healthy his peripherals line up with top-15 wideouts: a WR1 target share, elite yards-per-route-run, and consistent separation metrics. Because the Saints project to lose plenty of games, Kitchen expects fourth-quarter catch-up scripts that pile on PPR garbage-time production. His thesis is simple: draft Olave at current ADP, assume he finally puts together a full 17-game season, and bank WR1 numbers without paying first-round cost.

David Kitchen said Jerome Ford becomes an automatic 18th-round pick the moment Quinshawn Judkins shows any sign of missing time. Ford would vault to clear-cut early-season starter on a Browns offense that fed its lead back 22 touches per game last year. Kitchen noted that late-June drafts are still treating Ford like a pure handcuff, so you can pre-empt the market by scooping him before camp reports turn into blaring push notifications. He views the move as a near-free lottery ticket: if Judkins’ ankle lingers, Ford’s ADP jumps 40 spots overnight and you’ve banked instant closing-line value plus RB2 production.

David Kitchen said he is deliberately overweight on Cam Ward as the QB3 for his DraftKings best-ball builds. Kitchen believes Ward’s combination of mobility and a wide-open Titans depth chart makes him the cheapest path to a usable starter in Weeks 15-17. Ward routinely slides into the 18th–19th round after rooms have satisfied their three-QB quota, giving Kitchen a two-plus-round closing-line value versus similarly tiered passers like Bryce Young and Geno Smith. By tacking Ward onto Kyler Murray or Caleb Williams rosters, he can stop at three quarterbacks without paying the inflated QB2 prices that dominate DK rooms this year. The thesis: Ward’s rushing equity and realistic chance to start by Thanksgiving create tournament-winning ceiling at near-min cost.
