Jagger May advised selecting Jahmyr Gibbs ahead of Saquon Barkley if you sit at pick 1.02 or 1.03. He noted only one back has repeated as RB1 in the last decade, so chasing new upside matters. Gibbs flashed overall-RB1 production when David Montgomery missed time, averaging 25.6 PPR points in that stretch. A new offensive coordinator could scrap last year’s strict two-back rotation and lean into Gibbs’ elite receiving skill set, giving him both target and touchdown equity that can break leagues.

For drafters who miss on Konami quarterbacks, Jagger May endorsed Matthew Stafford as a "poor man’s Joe Burrow." Sean McVay is unafraid to lean on Stafford’s arm, and with target monsters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams already on the roster, Stafford could again flirt with league-leading pass attempts. May emphasized that raw volume is the equalizer for non-mobile quarterbacks; a 650-attempt season would put Stafford firmly in the weekly QB1 conversation while completing double or triple Ram stacks at a bargain ADP.

May called David Njoku the screaming value of the late-tight-end tier, noting that he frequently falls multiple rounds past ADP despite legitimate top-five upside. Cleveland projects to lean on a ground-and-pound identity that keeps two tight ends on the field, and whether Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, or a rookie wins the job, all three historically pepper their tight ends with short targets. Njoku already sat inside the top-six in routes and red-zone looks last year; May thinks a slight uptick in overall volume could unlock weekly difference-making spikes at a fraction of the elite cost.

Jagger May spotlighted Tucker Kraft as his favorite last-round tight-end swing. Kraft led the position in broken tackles last season—an efficiency marker May believes translates directly to fantasy volume once Jordan Love, finally healthy, pushes the ball more effectively. The Packers rarely added target competition, and the sophomore’s YAC ability gives him a Dalton Kincaid-style ceiling without the cost. May’s advice: grab Kraft when the elite tight ends are gone and watch him turn peripherals into weekly TE1 scores.

May argued that fear of sophomore stagnation is suppressing Drake Maye’s ADP. The Patriots’ signal-caller was on a 700-yard rushing pace as a rookie, the kind of dual-threat profile that routinely catapults quarterbacks into top-five fantasy finishes. Even if New England’s passing efficiency lags, Maye’s legs deliver weekly floor and spike-week potential, making him an ideal QB2 or late fallback stack with TreVeyon Henderson and DeMario Douglas on Patriots-heavy builds.

Jagger May labeled Justin Fields the perfect late-round QB1 for drafters who passed on the elite tier. Fields has never dipped below 650 rushing yards in a season despite missing games and has flashed a 1,000-yard ground-pace at times, giving him what May calls Konami-code leverage. That rushing floor alone places him in the same weekly ceiling neighborhood as Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen without the hefty ADP tax. May views Fields as the cleanest path to top-five quarterback outcomes once the obvious studs are off the board.

Jagger May told drafters not to overthink Brian Robinson’s goal-line role just because rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels may siphon a few plunges. Washington’s new staff kept the running-back room untouched in the draft, a quiet vote of confidence in Robinson as their every-down hammer. May compared the setup to Philadelphia’s 2023 backfield where Jalen Hurts’ sneaks did not stop D’Andre Swift from finishing top-12 in touchdowns per game. If the Commanders’ offense hits the explosive ceiling many project, Robinson’s short-yardage work and unchallenged workload could spike tournament-winning weeks at his current mid-round cost.

Jagger May circled D'Andre Swift as a priority target in the 7th–8th-round pocket. He reminded listeners that Swift now operates in Ben Johnson’s offense as the unquestioned RB1 with almost no competition outside deep-bench rookie Kyle Monongah. May loves that Johnson’s scheme historically peppers backs with high-percentage targets and noted Swift’s proven pass-catching chops. In his view the combination of locked-in volume, a creative play-caller, and an ADP that hasn’t caught up makes Swift one of the last running backs who can still swing a Best Ball tournament from the middle rounds.

Jagger May spotlighted TreVeyon Henderson as the ideal fifth-sixth round running-back swing. Ramondre Stevenson has "fumbled his way out" of a feature role, and New England invested top-of-Round-2 capital in Henderson, a back who excelled as both receiver and pass protector at Ohio State. Even if Stevenson siphons some early-down snaps, Henderson’s explosive big-play ability and PPR receiving juice can offset any volume concerns. May sees legitimate RB1 outcomes at a price range where most drafters are filling depth, not upside.

Jagger May urged drafters to hammer Rashee Rice as a mid-round pick. Rice earned targets at an elite per-route rate as a rookie and is locked into the slot role for Patrick Mahomes—May called him the "slot god" of this offense. Even with first-rounder Xavier Worthy in town, Rice’s chemistry with Mahomes should yield 18 PPR points per game upside while you’re paying a WR2 price tag. That combo of cost, floor, and ceiling makes him a roster-defining pick.

Jagger May said George Kittle is the lone tight end worth drafting if you miss on Trey McBride or Brock Bowers. With Deebo Samuel gone, the 49ers must redistribute 23% of their targets, and Kittle is the most efficient option to soak them up. May believes the combination of higher volume and Kittle’s yards-after-catch prowess can vault him into the same weekly ceiling tier as the elite two, whereas every other tight end is a tier below and not worth the cost.

Jagger May prefers Breece Hall to backs like Derrick Henry or rookie Bucky Irving in the late-second/early-third. New Jets OC Drew Petzing was Ben Johnson’s passing-game lieutenant in Detroit, and May expects him to replicate Johnson’s running-back receiving concepts. Hall already owns elite burst metrics and now projects for an expanded target share, giving him a path to RB1 overall despite playing on an offense that may still throw often. That receiving upside is what May calls a "hero-RB" profile.

Jagger May recommended prioritizing Trey McBride at the 2-3 turn because he provides a structural advantage at tight end. Arizona led the NFL in targets to the position last season, and McBride turned that volume into WR1-caliber fantasy weeks. Only Brock Bowers shares comparable upside; the rest of the tight-end pool cannot match McBride’s ceiling. Securing him lets drafters chase upside elsewhere rather than burning early capital on a second running back with a lower point-differential impact.

Jagger May urged drafters to stay aggressive on Puka Nacua. The Rams still lack an explosive run game—Kyren Williams’ fantasy value has come from red-zone volume, not yardage—so the passing rate should remain high. Nacua demanded an elite target share as a rookie and now benefits from Davante Adams drawing bracket coverage on the perimeter, a dynamic similar to what Cooper Kupp enjoyed in the same system. May expects heavy weekly volume and believes Nacua can challenge for WR1 overall finishes even with Adams on the roster.

Jagger May said Ja'Marr Chase should be the automatic 1.01 in best-ball drafts. The Bengals kept the entire offensive core intact while the defense lost talent on the edge and in the secondary, a combination that should push them into more shoot-outs and spike Chase’s target volume. May stressed that Chase already led all non-quarterbacks in fantasy points per game last season and nothing in the environment has changed to cap that ceiling. Locking him in at the top avoids early-round running-back fragility and gives drafters a player who can realistically finish as the overall WR1 and league-winning point scorer.

Jagger May closed by fading Cooper Kupp, arguing that the 32-year-old no longer has a clear path to alpha usage. Clint Kubiak’s scheme will feature Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the slot, pushing Kupp into a redundant, lower-volume role. Seattle’s offensive line is a liability, and Sam Darnold struggles under pressure, further capping passing efficiency. Multiple soft-tissue injuries have sidelined Kupp in back-to-back seasons, and May believes Father Time plus diminished target share relegates him to a low-end WR2 at best. He’d rather draft younger upside bets like Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, Jaden Reed, or Matthew Golden available in the same neighborhood.

Jagger May recommended letting someone else pay the first-round premium for Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins offense collapses when Tua Tagovailoa misses time, and Miami’s offensive line remains a glaring weakness they failed to address meaningfully this offseason. Hill is entering his age-30 season and has publicly discussed post-football media opportunities, raising commitment concerns. May argues the gap between Hill and receivers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tee Higgins, Garrett Wilson, and Marvin Harrison Jr. is far narrower than their ADPs suggest, especially when Hill’s floor in a shaky offense is factored in. Older speed receivers fall off quickly, so May is out at cost.

Jagger May is out on Xavier Worthy for 2025 redraft formats. Worthy delivered a meager 16.9 % target share even when Kansas City’s receiver room was gutted, and his efficiency metrics—catch rate and yards per route run—mirror the pre-draft concerns about his slight frame. When he flashed, it was only because Rashi Rice was inactive; with Rice healthy, Worthy is relegated to a pure deep-threat role he has not mastered. May added that Jalen Royals, Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, and newcomer Marquise Brown give Patrick Mahomes plenty of short and intermediate options, further limiting Worthy’s touch manufacturing. The Tyreek Hill comps ignore that Hill is thicker and beats press coverage—traits Worthy lacks. May concludes the ceiling is overstated and the floor is practically zero.

Jagger May advised fading Calvin Ridley because Tennessee’s new nucleus is unproven. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward introduces week-to-week volatility, and May is skeptical that first-year head coach Brian Callahan can recreate the production he enjoyed with Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase. Ridley profiles better as a high-end WR2 than an alpha target hog, yet drafters are paying for WR1 output. May sees a modest ceiling but, more importantly, a dangerously low floor in what could be a bottom-third passing offense. He recommends pivoting to receivers with steadier quarterback situations at a similar price point.

Jagger May warned that DK Metcalf’s boom-bust profile will crater in Pittsburgh. Arthur Smith wants to run first and lean on play-action, while Aaron Rodgers—who has openly called 2025 his final season—prefers a timing-based West Coast approach that favors crisp route technicians, not a straight-line bully like Metcalf. May noted that Rodgers and Smith together signal low pass volume, making Metcalf a "square peg in a round hole." Limited target competition (Roman Wilson, Pat Freiermuth) is not enough to offset the expected drop in overall attempts. With comparable or safer options such as Courtland Sutton, Zay Flowers, DeVonta Smith, or Jameson Williams going in the same draft pocket, May is passing on Metcalf in season-long leagues.

Jagger May said Mike Evans is a land-mine at his current 2025 ADP. Even if the 31-year-old has not fallen off a cliff athletically, May worries the Buccaneers could overhaul the receiving room as soon as this summer—he specifically mentioned prospects Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan as threats to siphon snaps. Evans already has to compete with Chris Godwin, and Liam Cohen’s departure means the passing scheme could look completely different. In the same draft range you can grab Marvin Harrison Jr., Davante Adams, or Rashi Rice—players May believes carry higher floors without Evans’ age and scheme uncertainty. The combination of looming target competition, a possible shift away from the current offense, and Evans’ natural decline makes him a fade in season-long drafts.

May finished with Jauan Jennings as a deep sleeper, citing the 49ers’ battered receiver room. Brandon Aiyuk tore his ACL after a hold-out, rookie Ricky Pearsall is battling a persistent hamstring issue, and Deebo Samuel is no longer on the roster. Jennings already stepped up late last year, trimming his ADOT to work nearer the line of scrimmage and proving reliable for Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan. May said Jennings’ consistency made Samuel expendable and gave San Francisco leverage in negotiations with Aiyuk. With only George Kittle healthy behind him, Jennings could function as the team’s WR1/2 in one of the league’s most efficient offenses while still being essentially free in drafts.

May labeled Rome Odunze the pure X receiver in Chicago and his favorite sophomore breakout candidate. He blamed Odunze’s quiet rookie year on coaching chaos—Matt Eberflus’s historically sluggish offenses and Shane Waldron being retained despite poor results—plus two different play-callers for a rookie QB. With Keenan Allen now gone, both Luther Burden and DJ Moore profile as slot/flanker types, leaving Odunze to dominate perimeter snaps and, in May’s view, potentially the team’s target share. He highlighted Odunze’s flashes as a down-field threat in limited opportunities and believes the extra "runway" will translate into a major leap in 2025.

May urged drafters to grab Davante Adams at a veteran discount now that he has escaped the Raiders’ quarterback carousel and a forgettable Jets half-season for a perfect fit with Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford. He pointed out that McVay’s system has repeatedly supported two high-end fantasy receivers (Woods/Kupp, Kupp/Nacua) and argued Adams can slide in as the 1B to Puka Nacua while still seeing WR1-level volume. Adams remained an elite target earner even in bad situations, and a balanced run game featuring Kyren Williams and rookie backs should keep the offense humming. May sees weekly WR1 upside at a WR2 price.

May compared Garrett Wilson’s frame to McConkey’s but stressed that Wilson faces virtually no target competition and just received a massive quarterback upgrade to Justin Fields. Fields ranks among the league’s most aggressive down-field passers and owns one of the best check-down rates, traits May believes will finally unlock Wilson’s missing pieces: deep targets and touchdowns. Wilson has already produced back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and top-10 target shares despite Zach Wilson at quarterback. Pair that résumé with new passing-game coordinator talent imported from Detroit and May views Wilson as a discounted third- or fourth-round pick who carries easy top-12 WR upside in 2025 drafts.

Jagger May said the Chargers landed a "steal" in Round 2 and that Ladd McConkey is already locked in as Justin Herbert’s top target. May noted that when the Chargers had no other viable receivers late last year, McConkey still commanded heavy volume despite double coverage. With Trey Harris threatening vertically and Tyler Conklin plus Arande Gadsden working the underneath zones, defenses will be forced to leave McConkey in single coverage where his route-running wins. May added that new emphasis on the run game only increases McConkey’s red-zone play-action opportunities, giving him legitimate top-12, even top-5, season-long upside at a second-round draft cost.
