Show notes

Welcome to Projections Week! Heath and Ben have projected every team and today we'll look at the East divisions. First, let's run through some news and notes (2:55) as we talk about the coronavirus, Damien Williams, David Njoku, Antonio Brown and the Scott Fish Bowl ... AFC East projections for NE (12:30), BUF (26:00), NYJ (36:21) and MIA (46:13). How fast-paced will the NE offense be and what will Julian Edelman do with a new QB? How big of a role will Zack Moss play in BUF? How many targets for Stefon Diggs? Can any NYJ WRs stand out? How does the QB uncertainty in MIA factor into the projections? ... NFC East projections for PHI (55:00), DAL (59:40), NYG (1:07:40) and WAS (1:12:35). Are we convinced that the Cowboys offense is elite? Are Zeke's touches decreasing? What the heck do we do with the PHI WRs? Same question with the NYG WRs and let's talk about Saquon Barkley's catches. Finally, how many TDs to Heath and Ben have Terry McLaurin scoring and how are they sorting out the WAS backfield? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Top 5 Players We're Worried About Being Wrong About; Top 5 Patriotic Movies! (07/03 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

Fantasy analysts have to make bold calls, like fading Derrick Henry or buying into an aging RB. But if those bold calls go wrong it could be really bad for our Fantasy teams! So we present the Top 5 players we're worried about being wrong about. First, let's talk about a shortened preseason and which teams might be most affected (2:55) ... We kick off our discussion with Chris Carson and Le'Veon Bell (9:06). Heath likes both of these guys, but certainly he's concerned about being wrong. Then we discuss both RBs in the KC backfield (16:34) plus Jonathan Taylor. Heath is worried about Taylor's role, but if things go right for Taylor he could be a league-winner ... Mark Andrews (26:55), Lamar Jackson (29:30), Austin Ekeler (31:40) and DeAndre Hopkins (35:40). Then get ready for our Top 5 Patriotic Movies (38:10)! The only easy one was "The Patriot." ...

What is it that we have against these two players who finished as Top 5 RBs in 2019? ...

Top 5 Backfield Battles and a Heated RB Strategy Debate! (06/30 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

The rookie RB class has given us a lot of intriguing backfield battles. Today we'll put the spotlight on five of them as we see which way our listeners are leaning and which way our analysts are leaning in each backfield, starting with KC (4:26). Does Damien Williams have better value than Clyde Edwards-Helaire? ... We move on to the Rams (16:00) and Bucs (23:30) backfields. Are we going with the veterans or the rookies? Do we even want anything to do with TB? And then on to the Lions (30:00) and Bills (36:30). Kerryon Johnson's ADP is pretty appealing. Is Devin Singletary underrated? Why does Jamey love Zack Moss' value? ... An unexpected strategy debate breaks out (45:30)! How should you value a RB who you don't expect to contribute much early in the season, but could be a league-winner late in the season? We'll give some different perspectives on this topic ...

Scott Fish Joins the Show! 0.5 PPR Mock Draft and SFBX Preview (06/29 Fantasy Football Podcast) Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

The most charitable man in the industry joins us today! Scott Fish is here to talk about his Fantasy charity, the Scott Fish Bowl and a 0.5 PPR mock draft. Oh, and he weighs in on Cam Newton (6:55) as Heath also tells us where he has Cam in his rankings ... We discuss the most interesting picks of a 0.5 PPR mock draft we completed recently. Josh Jacobs and Derrick Henry were the 7th and 8th picks, respectively (16:00). Is that justified given their lack of catches? James Conner went 33rd (23:15) and Keenan Allen was the 24th WR selected (26:35). Find out who went ahead of Allen. Finally, Mark Ingram fell to the 6th round (28:50). What gives!? The guys don't seem to think it's unreasonable ... We review Scott's team (40:00) including whether or not he made a mistake with his RB depth. Then Scott discusses the Scott Fish Bowl (51:00) and what you need to know about the scoring system ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Show notes

We're back with a BONUS Pod to talk about the Patriots signing Cam Newton. Where is Cam in the rankings? Is he ahead of Aaron Rodgers? Jared Goff? Does he still have Top 5 upside? What does the fact that it took this long for Cam to sign a 1-year deal say about his health and what the NFL thinks about him? We also talk about the impact that this signing could have on N'Keal Harry, the Patriots RBs and the AFC East.

Show notes

Let's see what ADP is telling us about the Top 5 TEs. You can guess who the first two are, but how much better are Travis Kelce and George Kittle than the rest of the pack?
