Episode Notes

Ian Hartitz goes through five wide receivers carrying a top-24 ADP on ESPN who finished WR24 or worse in PPR points per game last season, and are tied to an offense Vegas has ranked 16th or worse for 2026. That combination is not a great one, so Ian builds the glass half full and glass half empty case for each, then gives an honest bust factor out of 10, one being not a bust at all and ten being a complete bust.
