Top 5 RB Debates! McCaffrey ... Then Who? (06/23 Fantasy Football Podcast)

We know Christian McCaffrey is the top RB in Fantasy, but who is next? Is it Ezekiel Elliott and his 300+ carries? Is it Alvin Kamara and his 80+ catches? Saquon Barkley? Dalvin Cook? Let's see what ADP has to say right now (1:50) as we begin our discussion of these stud RBs ... Fill in the Blank! Most upside other than McCaffrey (9:05)? Least upside (14:45)?

Top 6 QB Debates! Can Watson Have His Best Season Yet? (06/22 Fantasy Football Podcast)

It's a big rankings week here on Fantasy Football Today as we look at the Top 5 at each position. With QB, you really have to discuss the Top 6. Let's take a look at early ADP (2:33) and see how far ahead of the pack Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are before we take a quick detour with some news and notes (8:00). Can Curtis Samuel be a sleeper this season? ... Jackson or Mahomes (12:00)? Let's pick these guys apart and figure out what separates one from the other. Then we'll move on to the next four (23:50). How do we rank Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson? Why does Jamey have Watson as his QB3 even without DeAndre Hopkins? Why does Heath have Prescott in a tier ahead of the other three? Does Dave believe Murray has QB1 upside? ... We finish with some Fill in the Blank (41:30) to sum up our thoughts and to figure out which one of these six QBs we'd like to have lunch with. And what would we eat!? ...

Busts! Plus Deebo ☹️ (06/18 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Advanced Stats 101 (05/28 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Need to get up to speed on air yards, yards per route run, aDOT or the other fancy stats that are becoming more relevant these days? We've got a Fantasy Football Advanced Statistics primer for you. We'll tell you our favorite stats to use and briefly talk QB strategy (8:00) before we get into the nitty gritty ... Let's start with some RB stats (10:43) as Ben tells you about High Value Touches (HVT). We cover Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb. What types of touches matter and lead to Fantasy production? WR stats are trendier (19:44) as we tell you why air yards and aDOT matter. You should know what types of routes WRs are running and which players are better fits for PPR leagues. And if a player has a lot of air yards but not a lot of actual receiving yards, what does that mean going forward? We discuss Curtis Samuel, Kenny Golladay, Michael Thomas and more ... As we get to the TE position (34:30), Ben details why a couple of stud TEs are so productive when they run routes, even if they don't run as many routes as you might think. We discuss Mark Andrews, Darren Waller and George Kittle. And we finish with some QB and team stats (51:40). Pay attention to pace statistics! ...

TE Regression; Rookies/Free Agents in a Shortened Offseason (05/26 Fantasy Football Podcast)

TE Regression; Rookies/Free Agents in a Shortened Offseason (05/26 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Big news (kinda?) as Carlos Hyde signs with Seattle. How will this affect Chris Carson (2:42)? Is there any reason to believe Carson won't get his typical 300 or so carries? ... We talk Tight End regression (13:40) with Jared Cook and his crazy 2019 stats leading the way. His yards per target, yards per catch and TD rate were too high, but can he still be a Fantasy starter even with regression? Then we compare Darren Waller and Mark Andrews (19:40). They have different regression coming and different obstacles to overcome ... More news and notes (27:30) including a note on the Broncos backfield. And with a shortened offseason, how will rookies and free agents be impacted (33:00)? We draw on history to make some predictions. Perhaps we're too high on the rookie RBs? ...

Lessons Learned from a 2019 Draft (05/18 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Sometimes it is helpful to revisit history. Today we'll look at a PPR draft we did just before the start of the 2019 season and see what lessons we can learn. First, we read an email comparing Mike Evans and Amari Cooper (2:55) and as "The Last Dance" has come to a close, we reflect on what made Michael Jordan such a captivating athlete (6:15) and of course debate Jordan vs. LeBron ... Quick news items (13:31) on the WAS WRs, James Conner and more before we get into last year's draft! As we look at Round 1 (16:08) we wonder who will become this year's Dalvin Cook. In Round 2 (21:05), the RBs were largely disappointing but the TEs were not. Round 3 (27:15) makes us question the value of small sample sizes when it comes to RBs and Round 4 (30:30) brings up a discussion about TE depth ... What can we learn about RBs who rarely catch passes as a few of them were drafted in Round 5 (35:31)? And as we look at the rest of the draft (41:00), we discuss rookie RBs, drafting WRs who have a chance to be the #1 guy on their team, the best players to take late and plenty more ...

What will Kareem Hunt's role be and will it be big enough to ruin Nick Chubb's Fantasy prospects? ... The Mount Rushmore QBs were fairly easy (11:30), but does Tom Brady belong ahead of Aaron Rodgers? RBs (17:28) were a bit different with Ben actually putting someone other than LaDanian Tomlinson #1.

Fantasy Football YESTERDAY: The Best Fantasy Performances Since 1997 (05/11 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Welcome to Fantasy Football YESTERDAY! All this week we are looking back at the best and the worst of Fantasy Football since 1997. Today, we review a draft of the best individual seasons. The best of Marshall Faulk, LaDanian Tomlinson, Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning and more. First, we wonder if the NFL is about to go back in time by becoming a run-first league (2:55). Is this actually happening? We debate and discuss ... Getting into the "Best Seasons Ever" draft (15:40), Tomlinson was NOT the #1 pick. Why not? Why did two TEs go in the first round? Why does Randy Moss' 2007 season have a case as the best ever? ... As we go through the picks, we marvel at Harrison's greatness, how the RB landscape has changed and some names you may have forgotten about all while debating which criteria to use when evaluating these Fantasy seasons ...

Today we discuss our 0.5 PPR mock draft after we reflect on the XFL (3:25) which might be finished after a half season. What would we like to see the NFL borrow from the XFL? ... Getting into the mock draft, let's take a look at when the rookie RBs (5:00) and WRs (12:00) were selected. Is there a scenario in which a rookie RB becomes a workhorse this season?
