Wide receiver is such a fascinating position with late round steals becoming more common while at the same time an urgency to draft WRs in the first two rounds. Before we get into strategy, who are the WRs that our analysts keep drafting (1:40)? Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy and a number of sophomore WRs are on this list. As far as strategy goes, how important is it to draft a WR in Round 1 or Round 2 (4:22)? What do you do if you miss out? And the guys play Fill in the Blank: I want to draft ____ of my Top ____ WRs (16:35) ... More overall strategy talk including how WR value compares to RB value (23:25) and how things change in different formats (28:15). Then we've got sleepers, breakouts and busts (32:45) at the position. Look out for Gabe Davis, the sophomore WRs and Nico Collins as a late round pick. Beware of D.K. Metcalf at his ADP ... We finish the show by ranking and debating the Top 5 WRs (49:50). Why isn't Cooper Kupp #1 overall? Can Stefon Diggs take his game to another level? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Running Backs Preview Part Two! (08/09 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Nothing but average draft position (and a little bit of strategy) on today's show! We've got player debates and some love for the Rounds 5-8 running backs. We'll start at the top with the Round 1 RBs (2:00). Is Christian McCaffrey the clear RB1 or can we make the case for Austin Ekeler or Bijan Robinson? There are five RBs being selected in Round 2 (12:00) but several of them could easily be first round picks. We debate Nick Chubb and discuss Jonathan Taylor, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard and Derrick Henry ... On to Round 3 (22:00) with Rhamondre Stevenson, Jahmyr Gibbs and a few others. This might be too early for Najee Harris. Are we sold on Stevenson? Ahead of Joe Mixon? Then we'll look at Round 4 (34:30) which features Aaron Jones, Miles Sanders and Dameon Pierce ... A big chunk of the show will be spent on the RBs in Rounds 5-8 (37:40). Is this group much better than what we've seen in previous seasons? We've got James Conner, Rachaad White, Alexander Mattison, J.K. Dobbins, Cam Akers and many more. Who are we excited about? And then we'll talk about everyone else (53:40)! ...

Running Backs Preview Part One! (08/08 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Today we'll give an overview of the running back position with strategies, players we love, breakouts, busts and more. The guys give their overall thoughts on the position to start the show. Is the position deep? Why are fewer RBs being selected in the first two rounds compared to previous seasons? We also tell you the RBs we draft the most (8:40) and our overall RB strategy (13:10) ... A quick round of RB Buy or Sell (21:45) on Nick Chubb, Tony Pollard, Josh Jacobs, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, the Seahawks backfield and the Broncos backfield. Then we jump back into strategy talk and tell you why going RB/RB with your first two picks makes more sense this season than it used to (27:50). Also, how do our strategies change in different formats (33:00)? And how do you properly execute Hero-RB? ... Sleepers, breakouts and busts (38:15) and our favorite late-round picks (57:15). We discuss Miles Sanders, Samaje Perine, Alexander Mattison, Sean Tucker, Najee Harris, Derrick Henry and more ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Show notes

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

As training camps progress and reports continue to come out, which players are moving the most in our rankings? We start with a lengthy Chris Godwin debate (1:40) as Chris is warming up to him but Dave is a little more cautious. Then Dave tells us why Brian Robinson (10:30) is a rankings riser and both guys reveal why J.K. Dobbins is moving down in the rankings (13:55) ... A lot of news and notes to get to (19:35) with most of it about running backs. Is Nick Chubb going to catch more passes? Is Tony Pollard getting too much Fantasy hype? Who are the backup RBs you need to know about? Then it's back to our rankings risers. Chris's risers (31:40) include Joe Mixon and Brandon Aiyuk. Dave's risers (41:30) include Christian Watson and Mike Williams, and there are many more ... We finish with the rankings fallers from Dave (49:45) and Chris (59:00). The guys don't agree on how to rank the Seahawks wide receivers or Rhamondre Stevenson. They do agree that Michael Pittman should be lower in the rankings. Dave has Jonathan Taylor in Round 3! ...

Show notes

Show notes

Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

With 2022 being such a dreadful season for quarterbacks, is our draft strategy going to change this season? The guys discuss how aggressive they'll be in getting a stud QB (1:30) and when the first tier of QBs should be drafted (12:30). Should you draft Josh Allen or Rhamondre Stevenson, for example?

Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence are headed for big seasons. Is Patrick Mahomes being drafted too early? What do we expect from Deshaun Watson?
