Matthew Wiley pumped up Quentin Johnston as a late-round swing with tournament-winning upside, declaring "QJ season" now that Canadian wideout Josh Palmer is no longer blocking him on the Chargers depth chart. With a clearer runway to playing time and the big-play profile Wiley covets in best ball, Johnston fits his “big-game hunter” approach: bet on spike-week ceilings instead of safe floor veterans once the board thins out.

Matthew Wiley (Prez) locked in Juwan Johnson as his third tight end, noting several edges at Johnson’s undrafted ADP. First, Johnson gives the roster a clean bye-week spread: Tyler Higbee would have duplicated the Week-8 bye that Trey McBride and Isaiah Likely already carry, while Johnson’s bye is Week-12. Second, the Saints face the Titans in the Best-Ball finals (Week 17), and Wiley’s build already leans heavily on Tennessee pieces, so Johnson unlocks a low-owned game-stack. Finally, Wiley cited New Orleans’ ‘good offensive environment’ and the likelihood that Isaiah Likely opens the season banged-up, boosting Johnson’s early-season snap share.

Wiley explained that he is diversifying away from his early heavy Pat Bryant exposure by grabbing Troy Franklin instead of Montrell Vlay. A Broncos beat reporter noted Vlay has dominated camp reps, but Wiley doubts Vlay delivers many 25-point outings, calling him "non-spectacular." Franklin’s vertical game, on the other hand, can create the one or two spike weeks a Best-Ball roster needs, and because Franklin often goes undrafted he adds uniqueness in the $555 small-field final.

Matthew Wiley pushed back on the Richardson enthusiasm, saying he "can’t stomach" paying the eighth- or ninth-round price tag. Wiley believes the market is drafting Richardson at his absolute ceiling; if the accuracy issues linger or the Colts offense stalls, the pick becomes an anchor. He would rather spend that draft slot on position players and wait for cheaper late-round quarterbacks who project similar weekly medians with far less opportunity cost.

Matthew Wiley wants no part of Javonte Williams in 2025 drafts, labeling him "absolute dust." Williams produced replacement-level efficiency even while running behind one of the league’s best offensive lines last season. Dallas has since invested in dynamic rookies Jaden Blue and Tre Benson, and Wiley is loading up on both because he expects the coaching staff to phase Williams out quickly. If Williams could not separate behind a road-grader unit in 2024, Wiley sees little chance he holds off younger, faster backs this year. He recommends fading Williams entirely and scooping Blue/Benson in the double-digit rounds.

Matthew Wiley called Jared Goff the most slept-on quarterback in DraftKings best ball rooms. Goff gets pushed down because he lacks rushing juice, yet Wiley pointed out that Detroit still fields one of the league’s nastiest weapon groups—Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery. If the rebuilt offensive line holds up after losing two starters, Goff should again operate from a clean pocket, a situation in which he finished top-five in EPA per play last season. Wiley is perfectly content waiting until the 8-9 turn to stack Goff with one or two of those pass-catchers, freeing early capital for premium running backs and wideouts.

Matthew Wiley has been hammering Emeka Egbuka well ahead of early-summer ADP—often pairing him with Baker Mayfield—because Tampa’s veteran wideouts feel shaky. Chris Godwin is already fighting through soft-tissue issues, Mike Evans is another year older and trending toward inevitable regression, and the Bucs have no other explosive option to soak up targets if those two miss time. Wiley noted that Egbuka’s ADP has rocketed from 105 to the low-50s on recent live drafts but still thinks the price is justified given a realistic path to WR2-level volume in year one and a clean correlation with a cheap quarterback.

Matthew Wiley warned drafters that Rashee Rice’s profile has flipped from clever stash to high-risk landmine. Wiley originally tolerated a projected six-game ban, figuring he could survive early season zeros and profit from Mahomes, Rice stacks in the playoff weeks. New chatter suggests the NFL might delay discipline until later in the year, potentially sidelining Rice during the all-important DraftKings advancement and finals weeks. Because those rounds account for a massive chunk of EV, Wiley now views Rice as a fading pick at current WR3/WR4 ADP and recommends either passing entirely or demanding a steep discount to account for the risk that you "don’t have him down the stretch."
