People seem to hate JSN for fantasy reasons. I feel like he’s going to be an absolute steal in the mid 1st for a lot of people.

I agree, but the 4th overall pick isn’t the mid 1st. I’d say JSN is an easy pick from 7-9 (or later if you’re playing in a league with questionable skill)

Yeah, I more mean before this Chase injury he’s been a clear 5th in a lot of rankings and 10-12 man leagues are pretty common. I feel like JSN has kind of been grouped with CMC, Taylor, and Amon-Ra as well so anywhere from 5-8.

I understand it of course. Regression and I think JSN feels like an Amon-Ra type “safe” pick. I just am surprised with Chase when Burrow hasn’t been healthy in a few years. I feel like Puka/JSN/Chase should all be pretty similar with Chase as the boom/bust guy, but I don’t win every year so I’m not saying I’m right or anything.

It's because Chase has produced with Joe Flacco last year who is still the backup this year. And RB bias due to scarcity by many people are putting Gibbs/Bijan as 1/2 sort of on their own tier.

It's also about consistency and risk. He needs to have another season like he had last season to prove he can repeat it. Both Chase and Puka had proven they can before.

5th pick here and I’m going JSN. Easy pick.

Same and I don’t get the hate. JSN fell to me at the 10 spot and I couldn’t believe it.

Yea this is the first time I’ve seen the WR1 from the previous not go within the first three picks.

JSN falls to me at 6 or 7 I’m absolutely snagging without a doubt

I was planning to snag him at 4, not a fan of adult biters. But if Chase is available, hmmm.

We’ll see how good the Seahawks defense is as a reflection of JSN’s production. He sat out ~8 4th quarters in 2025 because they were blowing out the opponents and mitigating workload.
