Just an oversight, or do you see them in a tier above or below this crowd?
I was attempting to put WRs in the poll I thought Dell was in the mix of being considered (by others) as "close enough to be considered" being in competition with value-wise. I felt that for too many fantasy managers, Waddle would be a clear choice as being better because of the quality of his first two seasons' performance. While Aiyuk hasn't been as consistently productive as Waddle, in my mind Aiyuk has clearly made a jump this season as improving his production to match his physical ability and mental consistency ... not to mention the overall situation in SF is favorable to him continuing to do what he's done this season.

While Olave and GWilson have clearly run away with the voting in this poll, I felt that with them being only 2nd year players (instead of 3rd year) and with them being in questionable situations, their ability to sustain their value was not as much as a lock as I view Waddle and Aiyuk.

A 3rd year player like Nico is on the list because this is the first year he's shown this sort of production, so obviously there would be doubters to his ability to continue. Devonta, another 3rd year player, was included because I personally think his situation leans itself toward inconsistency, and without inconsistency it is hard for me to rank any player above a player with what I consider a more advantageous situation+talent standing. Devonta has taken a recent jump in the ranking in this poll, but for the first couple of weeks, his status in this poll seemed to agree he was not a significantly better option than three or four other guys he's now left behind.

No slight was intended to either Waddle or Aiyuk. I'd love to have them on ALL my teams.

Interesting how little love Pittman is getting. Maybe he's everyone's 4 or 5. But this suggests that price checking him in some leagues might be worthwhile. Could also be the contract thing I guess.

To me, he’s not in the conversation with Wilson, or Olave, but I can definitely understand taking him over Devonte Smith right now. I think Smith is CLEARLY the superior talent (I think Smith is one of the best pure talents at WR in the entire league), but Pittman is absolutely eating right now.
