Xavier Worthy may eventually go ahead of Rashee Rice in Chiefs drafts.

1. The SportsGrid Fantasy Football Show episode 'ADP Chasing: Best Mania Opens, Rookie ADPs On The Move w/ Pat Kerrane & Sam Sherman' opens on Best Ball Mania drafts and rookie receiver landing spots. 2. Davis, Pat Kerrane, and Sam Sherman are the voices driving the discussion, and Pat says he already got his first Best Ball Mania draft done as the contest opened. 3. The episode asks how rookie ADPs should move after the NFL Draft, especially for wide receivers and running backs in early Best Ball Mania drafts. 4. Pat says rookie mania is already crowding out veterans, naming Mike Williams, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, Josh Palmer, Cooper Kupp, Matt Stafford, and Austin Ekeler as examples of discounts or early pushes. 5. The hosts compare draft rooms where Ben Sinnott falls into the 16th round with rooms where he goes 30 picks earlier than expected. 6. Malik Nabers becomes the first major rookie receiver debate, with the Giants' low-volume offense and Daniel Jones' contract and injury situation shaping the case. 7. The group argues Nabers can still absorb roughly 30 percent of targets even if New York is conservative and lacks explosive passing volume. 8. Rome Odunze draws a different conversation because the Bears added DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, and the hosts call Chicago's wide receiver depth chart shallow behind the top names. 9. The episode notes that Caleb Williams has DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet, which leads to the line that he has 'no excuses' if he struggles. 10. Brian Thomas Jr. is framed as a downfield fit in Jacksonville, where Trevor Lawrence, Christian Kirk, Evan Engram, and Gabe Davis create a design for explosive plays. 11. The hosts point to Thomas' 17 touchdowns at LSU and describe him as a half-PPR spike-week receiver rather than a raw target monster. 12. Xavier Worthy gets the clearest ADP reaction, with Pat saying he drafted him at pick 78 or 79 and expects him to move into the early fifth round. 13. The Chiefs discussion includes Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, Marquise Brown, and the possibility that Kansas City uses a bigger outside body more often than drafters expect. 14. The episode treats Worthy as a player who could outproduce Rice on fewer targets and who may become more expensive once the market reacts to his landing spot. 15. Ricky Pearsall becomes a cautionary case because the 49ers still have Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings on the roster. 16. The hosts say Pearsall can still matter if San Francisco trades a receiver or if injuries change the chart, but they see little immediate 2024 target room. 17. The tone stays conversational and reactive, with Pat, Davis, and Sam Sherman interrupting each other and revising ranks live as ADP ideas get tested. 18. The format mixes rank-ordering, mock-draft anecdotes, and team-by-team receiver debates rather than a scripted interview. 19. Best for fantasy football drafters tracking rookie receiver ADP and Best Ball Mania. 20. Skip it if you want a polished, non-technical NFL recap.

As heard by us

A sharp rookie ADP debate that cares more about price than hype.

This episode reads like a rookie draft room with the volume turned down and the pricing discussion turned up. Every pick gets treated as a cost question, which keeps the focus on best ball value, role, and how much room an offense really has for one more piece.
