Summerlin advised letting Jonnu Smith continue to fall after his move to Pittsburgh. The Steelers attempted 72 fewer passes than Miami last season and Arthur Smith offenses occupy three of the bottom 16 seasons in pass rate over expected during the past three years. Pittsburgh already used multiple-TE sets at the 6th-highest rate, so snaps are available, but volume is not. Smith’s yards-after-catch prowess (6th among TEs, 20th among all pass catchers last year) and prior 50-582-3 line with the 2023 Falcons keep the downgrade from being catastrophic, yet Summerlin sees little path to consistent fantasy relevance in an offense that will feature DK Metcalf and Pat Freiermuth.

With Najee Harris sidelined after a fireworks mishap, Summerlin flagged first-round rookie Omarion Hampton as an ADP riser who still offers upside despite the climb. The Chargers want to lean run-heavy behind a top-flight offensive line, and Hampton brings explosive-play ability Harris has lacked. Every practice Harris misses—he’s learning a new system—makes it more likely Hampton emerges as the clear lead. Summerlin concedes the presence of a veteran threat keeps risk high, but if Hampton wins the job outright he can "smash" even his inflated cost.

Summerlin believes Evan Engram (ADP 93.7) is being undervalued after landing in Denver with Bo Nix. The Broncos ranked 30th in tight-end targets last year, but Engram was peppered whenever he was on the field, earning targets on 26.6 % of routes in only nine games and 22.2 % over the last three seasons (8th among qualifying TEs). In full-PPR DraftKings scoring, Engram’s catch volume mitigates his historical lack of touchdowns. Summerlin projects him to immediately become Nix’s security blanket and sees easy TE1 finishes if Denver’s route tree condenses around Engram and Courtland Sutton.

Summerlin highlighted Jayden Higgins (ADP 108.1) as the cheapest path to C.J. Stroud stacks after Tank Dell’s season-ending injury. Higgins reportedly ran as the clear No. 2 throughout OTAs, staying ahead of veteran Christian Kirk. Nico Collins will dominate targets, but Collins has missed 9 games the past two seasons and averages fewer than 13 games per year, opening weekly spike-week potential for Higgins if forced into WR1 duties. Summerlin likes the combination of cheap price, open depth-chart runway, and attachment to an aggressive pass offense.

Raymond Summerlin called Drake Maye one of his favorite post-90 Best Ball stabs at an ADP of 118.4. Maye was the QB7 in fantasy points in the games he finished as a rookie and QB8 in rushing production, tacking on 4.2 fantasy points per game with his legs. Summerlin expects a step forward through the air because New England has added Stefon Diggs and rookie slot dynamo Kyle Williams while replacing last year’s moribund staff with Josh McDaniels. The combination of proven rushing floor and an anticipated bump in passing efficiency makes Maye a bet to beat his current mid-10th-round cost.

Raymond Summerlin pitched KeAndre Lambert-Smith as a viable 20th-round swing for Chargers stacks. He argued Lambert-Smith is a better player than his Penn State numbers show after years of shaky quarterback play and now steps into a depth chart with real cracks: Mike Williams is still on the PUP, Tre Harris is mired in the second-round contract standoff, and Quentin Johnston’s rookie-year tape was "improved yet still not very good." Lambert-Smith profiles as the field-stretching Z Kellen Moore needs opposite Ladd McConkey, and the rookie’s 4.4 speed plus 18-yard collegiate aDOT give him one-play spike potential. Summerlin acknowledged Lambert-Smith could do nothing, but said that kind of contingent upside beats low-ceiling veterans in Round 20.

Raymond Summerlin said Jayden Higgins is one of his favorite turn picks because the rookie checks every best-ball box at cost. Summerlin has heard nothing but glowing camp reports and pointed out that Higgins slots directly behind Nico Collins, giving him immediate contingency value in two-wide sets if Collins misses any time. Summerlin likes betting on a 22-year-old who already flashed separation skills on film and believes the Texans’ pass-heavy tendencies under Bobby Slowik create plenty of volume for a second outside receiver. At an ADP clustered with prospects like Keon Coleman who have already faced and failed tougher man-coverage tests, Summerlin sees Higgins as the ‘right price, right offense’ swing for spike weeks in the double-digit rounds.

Raymond Summerlin pumped the brakes on rookie RJ Harvey at his current Round-6 best-ball cost. Summerlin argued that Denver’s coaching staff will default to backs they trust in blitz pick-up—exactly why Javonte Williams kept seeing snaps over the more explosive Jaleel McLaughlin last season. Harvey graded poorly in pass protection at UCF, and Summerlin fears the rookie could become "the new Jaleel" behind J.K. Dobbins or even Williams if the depth chart shakes out that way. While Payton’s running-back target history still gives Harvey a theoretical ceiling, Summerlin believes that liability in protection makes his weekly touch floor far shakier than drafters are assuming, especially in managed formats where lineup decisions matter.

Raymond Summerlin called Chris Olave a sneaky value in full-PPR best-ball rooms, emphasizing that he routinely falls to the 6-7 turn despite owning true alpha-receiver usage. Olave commanded a 27% target share, ran a route on 96% of dropbacks, and finished top-five in air-yard market share (41%) last season, yet is priced behind less secure volume bets like Zay Flowers and Calvin Ridley. Summerlin likes taking him at 6.02 because wide receiver dries up quickly after that point—especially in heavy-WR rooms—and Olave gives you a weekly floor paired with spike-week upside in dome games against the Falcons, Bucs, and Panthers during best-ball playoffs.

Raymond Summerlin urged caution on Terry McLaurin even at an early-fourth-round ADP. He flagged several red indicators: McLaurin scored just four touchdowns last season despite 146 routes inside the red zone, and his 21% targets-per-route rate was below league average for a No. 1 wideout. Summerlin added that new OC Kliff Kingsbury did little to manufacture touches for perimeter receivers in Arizona, calling the scheme "not the creative usage we wanted." With Jahan Dotson and TE Ben Sinnott expected to siphon opportunities, Summerlin worries McLaurin’s ceiling is capped while his floor hinges on volatile TD variance, making him a pick he only makes when “the timer forces my hand.”

Raymond Summerlin said George Kittle is slipping far enough in early best-ball drafts that he becomes a smash selection in the mid-third round. Summerlin argued there is “a significant drop-off after Kittle,” noting that he represents the back end of the first tight-end tier while still going five-plus picks later than Mark Andrews and Sam LaPorta. That gap matters when you are drafting from the back half of Round 3 because locking up Kittle there lets you dodge the unproven or volume-capped options that follow. Summerlin likes pairing Kittle’s spike-week profile—he posted four 20-plus-point games last year—with the 49ers’ league-leading 0.46 EPA per play passing attack, giving drafters elite TE upside without spending second-round capital.
