2026 Fantasy predictions: Who is this year’s George Pickens (WR outside top 20 ADP, finishes top 5) + AJ Brown trade REAX

About this episode

The hosts discuss potential breakout wide receivers for 2026 and react to recent NFL trades.

The calendar has flipped to June which means it’s time for our ‘Flip The Script’ summer series. Matt Harmon and Justin Boone kick it off by trying to identify who will be ‘This year’s George Pickens’ and find the WR currently going outside the top 20 WRs in drafts that can finish as a top 5 WR with new surroundings in 2026. The two also react to the massive NFL news from earlier in the week where we saw AJ Brown get traded to the Patriots, the Giants sign Odell Beckham Jr., and the Rams trading for Myles Garrett.
