We recently completed a 12-team, 0.5 PPR mock draft and we'll review our team builds and see what worked best. First, we noticed that the teams that drafted Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts waited until Round 10 or later to draft a tight end. We explore that decision and if it's OK to take an elite QB and an elite TE. Then we've got some news and notes (8:15) on Dalvin Cook, J.K. Dobbins, Antonio Gibson and more ... Getting into our team builds, we start with Jamey's team (17:05). Jamey had the first overall pick and started with three wide receivers. How did he do at every other position? Then we look at Heath's team (22:55) which had the ninth overall pick. Heath drafted nothing but RBs and WRs with his first seven picks. How did waiting on QB and TE work out for him? ... Adam's team (38:55), drafting with pick 11, features a Top 5 QB and a Top 7 TE. Adam may have made a mistake in Rounds 5 and 6. And finally we look at the Travis Kelce build (45:45), talk about Jerick McKinnon (49:30) and finish with a few more news items ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Looking for some steals in your drafts? We've got 10 players who are great values right now and could continue to be as we get deeper into draft season. First, we react to the Saquon Barkley news (1:40) and compare him to Nick Chubb (5:30). Are we ready to move Chubb ahead? Then, Jamey is on the clock in our startup dynasty league (10:00)! Will Adam make a trade for Jamey's pick and select Justin Herbert? ... As we look at the best early values in drafts, we start with a couple of tight ends who could be taken in Round 6 or 7 (15:00). Who is the better value: Darren Waller or Kyle Pitts? We then discuss Anthony Richardson (23:30), Khalil Herbert (31:35) and two wide receivers you can take in Round 8 or later (34:45) ... Moving on to Dave's list, Tony Pollard is a steal right now (41:30) and a reason to go with an RB/RB start to your draft. Dave also talks about why he likes Dameon Pierce (45:30) and we debate Alvin Kamara's value (47:05) and finish with a WR who is going way too late (53:00) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

FFT in 5 - Trust or Bust: Anthony Richardson, Jordan Addison, and the Rookie Class (07/21 Fantasy Football podcast) Jul 23, 2023

Jordan Addison figures to step on the field in a significant role, and could be a must-start Fantasy option from Day One. Anthony Richardson has the potential to be as well, but his price might be ignoring some risk. Dan Schneier and Chris Towers talk about a few other rookies you'll be considering on Draft Day.
