Sophomore RBs Could Be Awesome! (02/18 Fantasy Football Podcast) Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

What a group of Year 2 RBs we've got as we could see seven of them drafted in the first three rounds. Dave and Heath have very different orders when it comes to ranking the Top 7 (2:15) including a different name at #1. Is it James Robinson or Jonathan Taylor? How much does Robinson's pedigree and coaching staff matter (12:30)? ... The guys debate Cam Akers vs. D'Andre Swift (19:50) and give their thoughts on Clyde Edwards-Helaire (26:24). Does he still have elite upside? And finally they compare J.K. Dobbins and Antonio Gibson (32:10). And which of these seven RBs has the most downside in 2021 (35:40)? ... There are other sophomore RBs to discuss (41:00) including A.J. Dillon and Salvon Ahmed. We'll also talk Dynasty (55:00)! ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Show notes

What do we make of Jalen Hurts's passing game struggles (14:43), Justin Herbert's new offensive coordinator (18:00), Joe Burrow's subpar yards per attempt (21:50) and what a new WR would do for Tua's ranking (24:44).

10 Crazy (?) Stats from 2020 (02/11 Fantasy Football Podcast) Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

Adam has 10 stats for Dave and Heath to break down, but are these in fact "crazy" stats? Does it even matter? Whatever word you want to use, these will be helpful in telling us what happened in 2020 and perhaps what we can expect in 2021. Let's start with stats on the Cowboys passing game (3:30), the QB position and what it means for Patrick Mahomes (9:15), Cam Akers's production (15:00), Nick Chubb's big play ability (21:40) and why the Ravens running game is so successful (28:40) ... A quick food segment (32:35) for you as we give you a delicious buffalo chicken dip recipe and tell you the potentially disgusting sandwich Tarik Cohen has been promoting. Then we've got news and notes (36:15) including updates on Russell Wilson and D'Andre Swift ... More crazy stats! The importance of aDOT (43:10), red zone target percentage (45:30), the Giants bad offensive line (47:40), the role of Chicago's TEs (51:00) and Baker Mayfield without Odell Beckham (53:00) ...

Show notes

We saw great second half performances from Kirk Cousins, Jonathan Taylor and Marvin Jones among others, while Russell Wilson and the Rams passing game struggled down the stretch. What do we make of it? After Jamey and Heath give their thoughts on the Super Bowl, they'll tell you the second half performances they buy (8:33) and the ones they sell (12:45). And we'll spend some time on the Seahawks offense while we're at it (14:00) ... Cousins was QB3 in his last 9 games (22:55). Taylor and David Montgomery (27:30) were studs in the Fantasy playoffs. At WR (29:30), we discuss Robert Woods, Marvin Jones and a couple of Steelers ... Are Fantasy managers buying into what Logan Thomas did in his last 6 games (39:00)? He was really good! ...
