Matt, Ryan, and Dan chat about the dynasty implications of Andrew Luck’s retirement announcement and the Lamar Miller injury in the first half of the episode before moving into a 2019 WR1 discussion. Based on several studies over the last several seasons, we know that on average, about 50% of the top 12 wide receivers in one season do not repeat as a top 12 running back the following season. Using that as a framework, we do three drafts. Draft one: who are the safest 2018 top 12 wide receivers to repeat in 2019? Draft two: who are the most likely 2018 top 12 wide receivers to fall out of the top 12 in 2019? Draft three: who are the most likely non-top 12 wide receivers from 2018 to become one in 2019?
