Mock Draft Review! Plus a lot of Rookie Buzz (08/17 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Before we review our mock draft, we wonder what the best draft slot is. Do you want a Top 6 pick? Or is it better to lock up two stud RBs with picks 7-12? Then we've got a lot of news to run through (10:00) with Melvin Gordon struggling with altitude, A.J. Dillon and Jonathan Taylor looking gigantic, Clyde Edwards-Helaire running with the starters and much more. And find out the other rookies who are turning heads (17:15) like Brandon Aiyuk ... Let's look at our 0.5 PPR mock draft! We tried some new strategies and we'll discuss what worked and what didn't. First of all, why did Jamey take Edwards-Helaire ahead of Michael Thomas (19:40)? And why did Derrick Henry make it to Round 2 (21:50)? ... We analyze Dave's team (27:30) beginning with his third round pick of Patrick Mahomes and how that shaped his roster. Did he regret taking Mahomes 25th overall? Then we shift to Adam's team (35:00) as he made it a point to establish RB depth early while still getting a potentially elite QB. Finally, Jamey's team (40:40) looks great with guys like Aaron Jones and Mike Evans. Let's just hope his starting QB doesn't stink! ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Wide Receivers Preview Part One: Wait Until Rounds 3-5? (08/13 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 13, 2020

Show notes

If you look at WR average draft position over the last 3 seasons, it seems that Fantasy managers are moving away from WRs in Round 1. So, should you do the same and focus on Rounds 2-5? We're giving you the overview of the WR position on today's show including the profile we like in a WR (2:30), the best spot in the draft for WRs (13:26) and if the second tier of the position is a jumbled mess (14:30). Also, where is the major drop off at the position? ... More overall strategy talk (19:30), how many WRs should go in Round 1 (27:23), how many should go ahead of Travis Kelce and when to take Michael Thomas (30:00) ... Sleepers (33:45), breakouts (40:40) and busts (51:35)! We love Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore and A.J. Brown this season. Laviska Shenault is on our radar late in drafts. How do we feel about DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
