Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers May 03, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the Fantasy Life podcast! Today, Dwain & Ian do a deep dive into the world of NFL rookies! 🏈 In this episode, we unpack the fallout of the NFL Draft. We explore the post-draft risers and fallers, providing insight into those who scored good draft capital, landed in perfect spots, and have impressive production profiles. Topics discussed: TE Sam LaPorta has walked into a cake-walk depth chart and could be a major riser. Marvin Mims, despite facing a crowded WR room in Denver, has Round 2 draft capital we absolutely adore. And we can't forget our FOUR risers at WR8, WR9, WR10, and WR11 in the rookie ranks, who are moving up thanks to their landing spots and draft capital. But how do their production profiles stack up? Fallers on the other hand, include 3 WRs and 1 TE who stop aw their fortunes tumble after the draft. We’re dissecting the reasons behind their descent and what to expect in the upcoming season. We’re also spotlighting the intriguing profiles of Jonathan Mingo, Jayden Reed, Rashee Rice, and Cedric Tillman, who've seen improved draft capital and good landing spots. But do their production profiles match up? Don't miss the final takes from Dwain and Marcas as they analyze these rookies and make predictions for their impact in the upcoming season.
