Two Of Fantasy Football's Brightest Minds Have Collaborated On One Futures Parlay
I met Matthew Berry originally almost 15 years ago at a Knicks vs. Lakers game. He's a Lakers fan and took the time to chat with me for :30 seconds outside MSG. I thought it was very cool the most notable fantasy football guy on the planet gave me the time of day when I was 23 years old.
Flash forward a couple years and he followed me back on Twitter after what I think were some good fantasy takes? Most notably, Amon-Ra St. Brown as WR13 in 2022 which was way higher than industry at WR31.
Flash forward to the NFL Combine this year, where I am lucky enough to be brought along by my friends at Pardon My Take. We're at an afterparty rubbing elbows and I see The Talented Mr. Roto and introduce myself again. Seeing as how we were both DraftKings guys, we made loose plans to collab on a parlay this season.
We had a strategy call last week and I'm pretty stoked to announce, here it is:
Here is the logic with each leg:
Cooper Kupp to have 750+ receiving yards
- He's had 800+ yards in 4 straight seasons (1,224 yards/season) before falling 13 yards short of this mark last year. We like him to bounce back with a Rams team that targeted their Wide Receivers more than any team in the league last year.
Jake Ferguson to have 750+ receiving yards
- He cleared this number last year on 102 targets. The Cowboys didn't add any major playmakers on the outside to take away his work, so the offense should be funneled through CeeDee Lamb and Ferguson. Additionally, Ferguson was 3rd among Tight Ends in routes run.
Mike Evans to have 1,000+ receiving yards
- He's done this in each of his first 10 seasons. If he extends that streak, he'll tie Jerry Rice for the most consecutive 1,000 yard seasons with 11. This number is not only known, but a priority in Tampa and they'll do everything in their power to ensure he hits this.
Rolled up it's +389. You can find it in the NFL section of the DraftKings Sportsbook. We talked Receivers in the latest episode of the Fantasy Football Factory. You can watch here:
