Fun With Advanced Stats (05/25 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 25, 2022

Show notes

Hopefully you'll learn a lot today about some new metrics and which players stand out in certain advanced stats. We're joined by SportsLine's Jacob Gibbs to discuss how much advanced stats actually help our Fantasy evaluations (4:00) and the ones we rely on most (5:30) ... We update the "Best Shape of His Life" list and then Jacob dives into advanced stats on rookie wide receivers (10:0). He looked at which incoming rookies ran the types of routes you'll see a lot of in the NFL. Which players ran them efficiently and which ones struggled? Treylon Burks and George Pickens were among the standouts ... News and notes (19:15) focused mostly on the Cardinals signing Darrel Williams. Then let's get back to our advanced stats! We cover intended air yards per pass attempt (25:50), off-target pass percentage (31:00), average depth of target (41:00), per route efficiency (49:30) and the RBs who are best at avoiding and breaking tackles (52:10). Included among the advanced stat standouts are Joe Burrow, Javonte Williams and Tony Pollard ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Show notes

We're learning about regression today! Well, really we're just talking about abnormally high or low TD rates, yards per catch and other metrics that will factor into your 2022 draft strategy. We start with a Deebo Samuel chat (2:15) and a Ja'Marr Chase stat (9:15). Are we actually concerned about how many 50+ yard TD catches Chase had last season? ... News and notes (14:00) as we have some players skipping voluntary team activities. Then we talk QB regression candidates Lamar Jackson (17:40) and Joe Burrow (21:50). Will Burrow increase his pass attempts enough to combat the regression that we know is coming? ... Moving on to RBs (29:10), Dalvin Cook, Miles Sanders and James Conner had different kinds of TD luck in 2021. Should we expect Cook to regress back to being an elite Fantasy option? Then we talk WRs (36:10) including Cooper Kupp and TEs (44:15) including Cole Kmet and Kyle Pitts ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Best and Worst Early Draft Values (05/23 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 23, 2022

Show notes

Sure, we have a few months before most of our drafts begin, but we still need to monitor the early trends. After some trivia to kick off the show, Dave tells you his favorite draft value (5:45) and Jamey tells you his least favorite early draft value (12:30) based on current ADP ... News and notes (14:45) on the Panthers and Seahawks quarterback situations, the Dolphins running backs, potential problems with the Patriots offense and more. Then we're back to the good draft values (26:00) including Mike Evans. Should he be a Round 2 pick? ... We like Courtland Sutton, Dalton Schultz and a couple of others if you can get them after pick 65 (35:00). A couple of rookie WRs could be steals in Round 10 (37:15) and Dameon Pierce in Round 11 (40:00) could pay off. And we finish with bad values (46:00) like Javonte Williams, Jaylen Waddle, DeAndre Hopkins and Dawson Knox. When is the right time to draft the players? ... Your Apple Podcast questions.

Seven Stats That Could Matter in 2022 (05/16 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 16, 2022

Show notes

The splits in the Patriots backfield, Dalvin Cook's struggles near the goal line, Travis Kelce's edge over TE5 and much more! We've got some noteworthy stats from 2021 that might matter in 2022. First, let's hit the news and notes (1:45) including Jerry Jeudy's arrest and Jarvis Landry's role with the Saints ... Starting our stats segment with Jonathan Taylor (14:21)! Did you know he scored the fewest PPR Fantasy Points for the #1 RB since 2015? Also, we'll tell you what to know about the Patriots backfield competition (18:05) and just how much better Kelce has been than TE5 in each of the last four seasons (25:30) ... Joe Burrow was surprisingly underwhelming late in the season (31:40), but his pass attempts were up! Dalvin Cook (37:15) and Mike Williams (40:30) struggled mightily near the goal line and Cleveland rookie WR David Bell (44:40) led the nation in something that could translate to the next level ...

Mock Draft Review! When Did the Rookies Get Drafted? (05/12 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 12, 2022

Show notes

Follow our mock draft here: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-breece-hall-kenneth-walker-first-rookies-off-the-board-in-our-first-post-nfl-draft-mock/

Starting out with the best picks (2:00) and worst picks (2:55) of our 12-team, PPR mock draft. Heath loves the values for CEH, Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts, but we all agree Davante Adams was taken too early ... We go round-by-round and review the results. Round 1 (6:45) was pretty standard with the exception of the Adams pick. In Round 2 (10:00), we wonder if Leonard Fournette and James Conner were drafted appropriately and how we feel about a Tyreek Hill/Davante Adams tandem (13:10). We review Round 3 (14:10) and discuss if you can really get away with no WRs with your first three picks ... Rounds 4 and 5 (19:15) are big rounds for WRs. Is it better to draft #1 WRs on potentially bad offenses (21:25) such as D.K. Metcalf and D.J. Moore over #2 WRs on potentially great offenses such as Courtland Sutton or Allen Robinson? ... Then we move on to Round 6 (36:10) which is not a bad round for RBs, Round 7 (43:30) when the rookie WRs come off the board, Round 8 (46:40) which features the "Steal of the Draft" and then a review of when the rookies were drafted (50:30) ...

Talking Dynasty with Rich Hribar (05/10 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 10, 2022

Show notes

Rich Hribar of SharpFootballAnalysis joins us with some updated dynasty rankings. Who was one of his biggest rankings risers after the NFL Draft (4:40)? And what do we make of Sony Michel going to the Dolphins and Mike Davis going to the Ravens (10:30)? What does this say about Chase Edmonds? ... We compare the dynasty rankings of Heath and Rich. Let's start with QB (15:15) where Jalen Hurts is always a controversial player. At RB (23:45), should Javonte Williams be a Top 3 dynasty RB? Where should we rank Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara and Saquon Barkley? ... Moving on to WR, Heath is higher on Jaylen Waddle than Rich is (36:10). We also talk about CeeDee Lamb (39:30) and the rookies. And finally at TE (49:00), just how good is T.J. Hockenson and why is Rich a little lower on Dalton Schultz (53:40)? ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
