To start the show Paul and Jeff ask Matt to discuss some of his favorite late round or UDFA running baks based on landing spots or talent that he thinks could make an impact if they are given an opportunity.

Paul is joined by special guest Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) of Yahoo Sports and creator of Reception Perception to discuss the 2021 rookie wide receiver class as they enter year two of their careers and the 2022 rookie class. 

Due to some technical difficulties the first 10 minutes with Matt did not record but Paul rerecorded the opening and shared Matt's thoughts on Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle's rookie seasons after evaluating them with reception perception. Paul then shared Matt's preference in dynasty wide receiver rankings between Chase and Justin Jefferson and Waddle and his new teammate Tyreek Hill. 

The next segment picks up with remainder of the audio with Matt. First topic they discuss is the next wave of second year wide receivers and who surprised him most in their rookie year compared to their college film, who he expects to break out this year even more, his thoughts on Amon-Ra St. Brown and a deeper second year wide receiver he is very intrigued with. The other names discussed in this section include Kadarius Toney, DeVonta Smith, Rashod Batemen, Elijah Moore and Nico Collins. 

Following the discussion on the 2021 wide receivers the conversation transitioned to the 2022 rookie receivers. Matt shared his findings from reception perception on many of the top rookie receivers including Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Jahan Dotson, Traylon Burks and Skyy Moore.
