If Cam Newton plays 16 games, then he'll be a Top 5 QB. If Blake Jarwin gets 80+ targets, then he'll be a Top 12 TE. These are just a few of the "if/then" scenarios we've got for you on today's show. First, Heath gives us his version of an Aizer stat (5:30) about the DET passing game. We debate how similar Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones are and why start percentage matters ... Some news and notes (12:00) and then Round 1 of "If ____ Happens, Then ____" (13:40). It's the QB edition as we touch on Newton, Tyrod Taylor and Jared Goff ... Round 2 of today's topic (23:30) has takes on Le'Veon Bell, Jarwin and Ronald Jones. Then we've got your answers to "If ____ Happens, Then ____" via Twitter (34:10) and Facebook (44:40) ...

Tight End Tiers! Why it's OK to Wait (07/16 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

A random Jonnu Smith stat (2:04) seems like the perfect place to start today's show! And we've got news and notes (6:00) before we get into the TE tiers (10:00) starting with some general questions and then the elite tier of Travis Kelce and George Kittle and when they really should be drafted. And does Kelce need to be better than he was in 2019 to justify his ADP? ... Moving on to the near-elite tier (24:48) which consists of only two TEs and then a bigger tier called "They Might Be Elite" (26:46). This tier is bigger for Dave than it is for Heath and Ben. Find out who thinks Rob Gronkowski and Tyler Higbee belong here ... Two more tiers to get to (36:18). We discuss guys like Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant and Austin Hooper plus late-round guys with upside ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Wide Receiver Tiers! How Many Have Elite Upside? (07/15 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

We've got a lot of NFL news (1:30) as a few key defensive players have signed megadeals, Odell Beckham at least entertained the idea of sitting out this season, PHI signed a familiar lineman and WAS lost a potential starting WR. Then it's on to WR tiers (10:50) starting with the elite guys. Is DeAndre Hopkins in this group? ... On to the second tier (16:14) which includes a Rams WR (guess which one!) and an emerging Kenny Golladay. Then we jump to the next two tiers (23:30) which really might be one gigantic tier. How do we separate guys like Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Beckham, Robert Woods, Allen Robinson and more? ... Many more WRs to discuss including possibly the last tier that presents elite upside (30:00). And we've got the #3 WRs (38:05) and plenty more plus a thorough discussion about the Cardinals offense to end the show ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Running Back Tiers! (07/14 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

Let's take you through Dave's RB tiers, but first, Adam is forced to explain why his statistics are meant to help you evaluate players. And then we've got news and notes (8:40) from around the NFL ... Dave's top tier includes SIX RBs (10:40)! Who is joining the five obvious guys? Then we get to the near-elite tier (17:08) with Nick Chubb, Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry (in PPR) and more. Should Josh Jacobs be in this tier? And as we move to the Round 3 RBs (22:40), the guys tell you who in this tier they are excited about drafting ... The next few tiers (29:50) have a mix of veterans like Le'Veon Bell and David Johnson and rookies like D'Andre Swift and Cam Akers. We debate which tier Kareem Hunt belongs to. And we finish with the mid-to-late round picks (48:00). Some of them could be starters for you and some of them are just backups with a lot of upside like Tony Pollard and Chase Edmonds ...

Quarterback Tiers! Out With the Old Guys? (07/13 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

The QB position is changing as young QBs with rushing potential may be pushing out the old pocket passers, and the tiers reflect that. We're using Heath's projections for our QB tiers after we start the show with some NFL news ... The elite tier (5:00) is Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, no surprise. When should they be drafted? And who is next (9:15)? Dak Prescott is in a tier of his own according to Heath, but do Dave and Jamey agree? And you might be surprised to find out who is in the next tier. It's not just Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray ... How about the Ironman Tier (23:30) of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees? What kind of upside do they have? Then we look at the next tier (36:30) which is outside the Top 12 but could certainly have your starting Fantasy QB in it, and then the best of the rest (44:00) ...

Raheem Mostert, Aging Elite WRs and a Mailbag! (07/10 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

A lot to cover today as Raheem Mostert wants a trade and Fantasy managers want to know what to do about elite WRs who are starting to get up there in age. Which older WR worries us the most (3:23)? And then let's talk about the SF RBs (6:06) and what Tevin Coleman's outlook could be ... We talk about some of the difficult decisions we've had to make in the Scott Fish Bowl (13:40). Ronald Jones or Damien Williams? Should you stray from your rankings to lock up a backfield? ... Julio Jones may have shown some signs of decline in 2019, while A.J. Green has a lot to prove and T.Y. Hilton and Adam Thielen have battled injuries lately. We tell you how we feel about Jones (20:30), Green (26:00), Hilton and Thielen (30:00), Julian Edelman (34:10), the PHI WRs (37:23) and Antonio Brown (40:00) ...

AFC and NFC West PROJECTIONS! (07/09 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

Before we get into the projections, would you rather have Austin Ekeler or Aaron Jones in a non-PPR league? Now, let's talk about the position battles in the AFC and NFC West (3:05) and why Clyde Edwards-Helaire owners should hope for more touches than Heath and Ben have him projected for (5:25) ... AFC West projections for KC (8:00), LV (19:14), DEN (26:55) and LAC (33:55). Can Patrick Mahomes surpass his 2018 passing yards total? The Raiders are a mess. Heath has a lot more carries for Melvin Gordon than Ben does. Which Chargers are we excited to draft? Any of them? ... NFC West projections for SF (42:35), SEA (49:30), LAR (55:00) and ARI (1:00:40). Jimmy Garoppolo's efficiency is worth noting. Is there a statistical basis for drafting D.K. Metcalf ahead of Tyler Lockett? How will the Rams replace Todd Gurley's touchdowns? How fast-paced will Arizona's offense be? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

AFC and NFC South PROJECTIONS! (07/08 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Can Deshaun Watson be even better without DeAndre Hopkins? How will Bruce Arians and Tom Brady mesh? Get ready for our AFC South and NFC South projections after we briefly touch on DeSean Jackson's situation (6:48) ... AFC South projections with IND (9:30), TEN (22:13), HOU (35:15) and JAC (40:40). We've got different projections on the Colts RBs, plus a mandatory A.J. Brown debate, a mandatory Will Fuller debate and why our rankings of Leonard Fournette don't quite match the projections ... To the NFC South with NO (46:00), TB (50:30), ATL (56:40) and CAR (1:02:00). We're expecting big seasons from Tom Brady, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees. What about their RBs? And wait until you hear D.J. Moore's projections ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

AFC and NFC North PROJECTIONS (07/07 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

Adam Thielen's targets, Aaron Jones' carries, Ben Roethlisberger's passing yards, we're covering it all on today's show as we tackle the AFC and NFC North. First we discuss a recent draft and Patrick Mahomes' new contract ... AFC North projections for BAL (7:10), PIT (16:53), CLE (24:51) and CIN (31:35). Is Heath too low on Lamar Jackson's rushing totals? Why isn't Juju Smith-Schuster projected for more targets? How do we see the Browns backfield shaking out? Tyler Boyd or A.J. Green? ... To the NFC North with MIN (39:00), GB (45:30), CHI (53:00) and DET (59:00). Just how run-heavy will the Vikings be? Same question for the Packers. Does the QB matter for the Bears? And we discuss Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay and the rest of the Lions ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
