As mentioned yesterday, Rounds 4-6 often provide Fantasy stars at wide receiver, but what about Rounds 7-9? Last season, Ja'Marr Chase, Deebo Samuel, Antonio Brown, Jaylen Waddle, Michael Pittman and Brandin Cooks were drafted in this range, so let's find similar value in 2022! We'll start by telling you what kind of wide receiver we are targeting in this range (2:40). Upside? High floor? Dave, Jamey and Heath also tell you some of their favorites and then we hit the news and notes (13:35) with Ronald Jones and MVS making headlines ... Looking at the Rounds 7-9 WRs (16:00), who has the most upside and who has the most downside (17:35)? Are there any players we don't typically draft in this group? Who are the ones we gravitate towards (23:25)? ... We give quick thoughts on the rest of this WR range (30:30) including Hunter Renfrow, DeVonta Smith, Elijah Moore, Drake London, Christian Kirk, Brandon Aiyuk and especially Allen Lazard (42:00) ...

League-Winning WRs in Rounds 4-6 (07/07 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

We often get Fantasy superstars in Rounds 4-6 at the wide receiver position. Today we'll help you figure out which WRs will emerge as stars and outperform their average draft position. First, do Dave and Jamey approach drafts as if they will be selecting two WRs in this range? And what do we know about WRs on teams that are very run-heavy (4:00)? ... News and notes (13:15) as we get Dave's take on D.J. Moore. He is not as high on Moore as Jamey and Heath are. Then we've got some WR trivia (18:50) and our favorite Round 4-6 WRs to draft (22:40) plus the ones we often avoid at their cost (23:30). Dave and Jamey debate Darnell Mooney and Diontae Johnson ... Which WRs in this range are we nervous about missing out on (32:30)? What kind of seasons do we expect from Terry McLaurin and D.K. Metcalf (39:00)? We love Brandin Cooks and Michael Pittman, but are they league-winners or just very safe options (43:45)? Finally, we get to the rest of the group (50:45) including Michael Thomas, Allen Robinson, the Broncos WRs and more ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Dave tells you how dominant Mike Evans was without Chris Godwin (1:30) and Heath tells you what kind of company Najee Harris is in. Then we've got your news and notes (6:35) with a positive report about Marquez Valdes-Scantling making us wonder if his ADP is too low ...

Show notes

Vote for us for Best Sports Podcast and Best Male-Hosted Podcast! http://podcastawards.com/app/signup/

It's not easy to figure out the roles for Juju Smith-Schuster, the 49ers pass catchers and the Broncos pass catchers. We don't know what to expect from Michael Thomas. We'll try to hash it out on today's show! We start with some key stats (3:50) for some of these players who are tough to project. We're talking Saquon Barkley's inefficiency, Tim Patrick's red zone role and Michael Thomas without Drew Brees ... Will Juju Smith-Schuster get back to his old self now that he is on the Chiefs (15:15)? Which team's passing game is tougher to project: Denver or San Francisco (24:15)? Does it make the most sense to just wait for Tim Patrick if you want a piece of this passing game? And how the heck are you supposed to come up with projections for Michael Thomas after missing basically a year and a half (33:15)? ... We debate Saquon Barkley (38:40) and Ezekiel Elliott (43:30). Jamey tells you why he's waiting for Tony Pollard and skipping Zeke for the most part ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Players We're Worried About Being Wrong About (07/01 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

We may be a little low on Deebo Samuel, Diontae Johnson and a few others, but we're also concerned that we could be missing the boat. Who are the players that we are worried about being wrong about? We start with Davante Adams (2:30) for Jamey and Javonte Williams (6:00) for Dan. Plus your news and notes (13:40) as we talk about the Falcons quarterback situation ... Dan doesn't want to be wrong about Travis Etienne (19:40) and Josh Jacobs (22:15). What if these guys have huge years!? Jamey isn't very high on Elijah Mitchell (25:30), but that could backfire. At quarterback, nobody wants to draft Aaron Rodgers at his cost (28:30), but of course he might just be the best QB in the NFL. And Dan isn't high on Tua Tagovailoa (32:00) but sees some potential for a big season ... Wide receivers on this list include both Dolphins WRs (37:40), Diontae Johnson (40:55) and Deebo Samuel (44:00). Also, which team has the worst offense in the NFL (48:30)? ...

It's not that Heath hates Najee Harris (1:10) or Dave can't stand Cam Akers (6:45), it's that they won't be drafting these players at their current average draft positions. We've got a list of 10 players on the DO NOT DRAFT list, and it's all based on ADP. We also have some news (10:50) as Miles Sanders seems a bit frustrated with his role ... DO NOT DRAFT running backs include Javonte Williams (13:15) and Travis Etienne (19:05) for Dave. There is only one quarterback on the list and it's Joe Burrow (21:50) for Heath. When are we comfortable drafting these guys? ... At tight end, Heath says Kyle Pitts is going too early (26:15) but there is some disagreement. Meanwhile, we talk about four wide receivers who might be going too early with good debates on CeeDee Lamb (33:45), Diontae Johnson (36:15), D.K. Metcalf (39:00) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (44:15). And we finish with some Mark Andrews talk (44:55) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
