Then we pivot to news items we may or may not care about (8:25) and 2020 draft strategy. What do we look for in a backup QB (11:00)? What is the incentive to draft a backup QB late even if you have a stud as your starter? ... We are on to the biggest busts since 1997 (20:24)! Eddie Lacy and Trent Richardson were huge disappointments as first round Fantasy picks, but who else made the cut? Some of the best WRs of all-time are on the list! ...

FFYesterday: Biggest Breakouts, One-Year Wonders and Outlier Games (05/13 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 13, 2020

Show notes

We begin with a thorough discussion about Davante Adams (4:26). He does not excel in yards per target, so what happens if his targets decrease? Is that really going to happen? Do we have any actual concerns about him? Then we get into the news and notes (14:38) as the Raiders are talking as if they are going to play 1950's football. And what will the Giants offense look like with Jason Garrett calling plays? ... It's time to turn back the clock for Fantasy Football YESTERDAY! Who are the biggest one-year wonders from 1997-2019 (24:00)? Steve Slaton and Peyton Hillis come to mind, but who else made the cut? And which 2019 star might be a one-year wonder (31:40)? ... Finishing up with the best breakout seasons of the era (35:00) and the biggest outlier games (44:40). Remember Ronnie Brown in the Wildcat? Remember Marvin Jones' other game with four TDs?

Fantasy Football YESTERDAY: Mount Rushmore for Each Position (1997-2019) (05/12 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 12, 2020

Show notes

The best QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs of the last 23 seasons! There is plenty of debate on today's show. First, let's talk about 2020 and focus on the Browns backfield (5:30). What will Kareem Hunt's role be and will it be big enough to ruin Nick Chubb's Fantasy prospects? ... The Mount Rushmore QBs were fairly easy (11:30), but does Tom Brady belong ahead of Aaron Rodgers? RBs (17:28) were a bit different with Ben actually putting someone other than LaDanian Tomlinson #1. And finding the fourth RB was not easy ... On to WRs (25:30)! The case for and against Randy Moss as the #1 WR of this era, plus did Terrell Owens make the cut? Did Julio Jones? Finally we get to TE (35:25) and Adam is alone with his pick for #1 ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com and tweet us with #AskFFT

Fantasy Football YESTERDAY: The Best Fantasy Performances Since 1997 (05/11 Fantasy Football Podcast) May 11, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Fantasy Football YESTERDAY! All this week we are looking back at the best and the worst of Fantasy Football since 1997. Today, we review a draft of the best individual seasons. The best of Marshall Faulk, LaDanian Tomlinson, Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning and more. First, we wonder if the NFL is about to go back in time by becoming a run-first league (2:55). Is this actually happening? We debate and discuss ... Getting into the "Best Seasons Ever" draft (15:40), Tomlinson was NOT the #1 pick. Why not? Why did two TEs go in the first round? Why does Randy Moss' 2007 season have a case as the best ever? ... As we go through the picks, we marvel at Harrison's greatness, how the RB landscape has changed and some names you may have forgotten about all while debating which criteria to use when evaluating these Fantasy seasons ...

Tight End Rankings! Look Out for ... Mike Gesicki!? (04/30 Fantasy Football Podcast) Apr 30, 2020
