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.

The bust factors, lowest to highest:

3/10 Jaylen Waddle
5/10 Emeka Egbuka
6-7/10 Justin Jefferson
8/10 Tetairoa McMillan
9/10 Terry McLaurin
