Everyone wants to talk about Jayden Reed and the Packers’ run game and with good reason. Christian Watson and Doubs are getting a lot of helium this offseason, too, because everyone wants a piece of the Jordan Love offense. I get it—all those players are good… but Wicks has as much potential as Watson and Doubs and is basically free in drafts… If you want a cheap piece of the Packers’ passing game, this is your man.
I wouldn’t take him as a TE1 in a 10 or 12-team league, and even in a 14-team league, probably.. but in leagues where you can have a deep bench, Conklin should be a late-round target for you. If Aaron Rodgers is healthy, Conklin is going to be involved in the Jets passing game…a passing game that has the potential to be one of the best in the league with the personnel they have.
As it stands now, as talented as he is and as good as the 49er’s offense is, Pearsall is being slept on a little because he is listed as the team’s 3rd WR and likely is the 5th option in the offense. He is still worth a flier late in drafts, though, because Brandon Aiyuk could be traded at any moment, and suddenly, Pearsall becomes the number 2 WR here, and he will see his snap count and target share go way up. By the time we are drafting in late August or early September, Pearsall could move up 70-80 spots in ADP.
