Davis Mattek advocated spending the final wide-receiver slot on rookie Tai Felton. The third-rounder lands in a pass-heavy Vikings offense and could leapfrog Jalen Nailor if Jordan Addison misses time late in the year. Mattek painted the unlikely but plausible scenario where Felton starts Week 17 opposite Justin Jefferson and rips off a 20-plus-point outburst that swings Best Ball Mania finals. He prefers that kind of maximum-ceiling lottery ticket over veterans who can’t realistically win the tournament for you.

Sam Monson advised passing on rookie wideout Tai Felton in dynasty or late-round season-long drafts. While he acknowledged Felton’s 4.37 speed, 6-foot-plus frame, and respectable route running, Monson hammered the receiver’s ball-skills profile: eight drops in 2023 and an "awful" contested-catch rate that makes him unreliable at the catch point. In a Vikings offense already stocked with separators, Monson doubts Felton will earn steady snaps and said he preferred several receivers still on the board (e.g., Carl Williams, Jalen Noll). Felton is only a deep best-ball dart throw; otherwise, look elsewhere.
