Some fun facts about Jaylen Waddle, Calvin Ridley, how many targets you need to be a Top 12 WR and more before we get into average draft position beginning with Round 1 (5:45). Should CeeDee Lamb still be WR1 given his holdout? How far is A.J. Brown from the elite tier? Then we talk about Round 2 (15:45) and whether or not Davante Adams should be WR10 in ADP ... Round 3 (24:35) is very interesting and controversial! There is no consensus as we talk about Chris Olave, Drake London, Nico Collins, the 49ers WRs and more. Are you better off skipping this group and waiting for Round 4 (40:10) and Round 5 (46:30) WRs? You'll see great values on guys like Waddle, Cooper Kupp and George Pickens ... Will Tank Dell really be there in Round 6 (50:50)? Which WRs in Rounds 7-9 (56:50) are going to be this year's version of Brandon Aiyuk or Mike Evans? There is a lot of value to be had here and also in Round 10 (1:05:00) and beyond. We'll tell you some of our favorite late round picks ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Wide Receiver is a fun position filled with great values throughout the draft. In 2023, you could have drafted Mike Evans, Brandon Aiyuk and Nico Collins in Round 7 or later. Who will be the steal of the draft this season? We talk about some recent ADP trends (2:55) on Puka Nacua, Malik Nabers and Rashee Rice and then the guys tell you how they approach WR (9:50) ... More overall strategy talk (16:15), Round 5 value picks (22:40), thoughts on starting your team with WR/WR (27:30) and Zero-WR (38:40) ... Sleepers (43:30), breakouts (48:15) and busts (57:10). The Year 3 WRs could have huge seasons, but can guys like Drake London and Chris Olave really be worth their ADP? And we finish with a long Nabers discussion. Can he overcome his iffy QB situation? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Starting with Christian McCaffrey in Round 1 and ending with "Handcuff King of the Hill," we cover every running back you need to know about. Let's kick it off with Round 1 (3:10) and talk about if Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor deserve to be first round picks. In Round 2 (16:35), is Kyren Williams legit? Does Derrick Henry have another great season left in him? ... On to Round 3 (22:35) and the controversial De'Von Achane plus a few good values. And in Round 4 (30:10), we have a trio of RBs who might pay off before things get a little worse in Rounds 5 and 6 (36:45) ... Are the RBs in Rounds 7 (42:15) and 8 (52:35) much worse than RBs in the previous two rounds? We're talking about guys like Najee Harris, Raheem Mostert, the Bengals RBs, the Titans RBs and others compared to the Round 5/6 guys like James Conner, Zamir White, Rhamondre Stevenson and more. After we talk about those groups, we finish with the best players to take late and the best RB handcuffs (1:09:30) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
