Next, our trio competes in their final mock draft of 2020.

30/08/2020 Duration: 30minFormer NFL head coach Jeff Fisher jumps on with us to shed some light into a variety of topics that could affect how fantasy managers evaluate players. With no preseason, how hard is it for players to come into a new system and make an impact in year one (4:25), and is there any reason to worry about the chemistry between QBs and WRs who haven't played together (8:37)? What is the biggest thing fantasy analysts miss when projecting games (15:38) and does the QB or the coach have more input into who gets targets (17:16)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe Burrow (6:41) has a good chance to be the seventh rookie passer since 2010 to post QB1 numbers and Damien Harris (18:57) is a late-round rusher who has a shot at seeing 15+ touches a week. Does J.K. Dobbins (34:17) have elite RB1 potential if anything ever happens to Mark Ingram and is a WR2-caliber season in the cards for Diontae Johnson (46:12) now that Ben Roethlisberger is back?

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (12:42) shouldn't be falling to the second round and Odell Beckham Jr. (18:32) boasts No. 1 WR upside for a third-round price. Kerryon Johnson may be much less of a threat to D'Andre Swift (35:10) than many think and Cam Newton (1:00:42) is a high-ceiling QB with elite fantasy seasons under his belt who can be had near the end of your draft.

27/08/2020 Duration: 01h02minThe boys are back together again for this edition of the FantasyPros Football Podcast! Our trio starts off by diving into their favorite final round selections. Are Bryan Edwards (3:25) and Hunter Renfrow (10:29) truly diamonds in the rough or are there just too many mouths to feed in Las Vegas for them to shine and is Boston Scott (32:48) someone who should be drafted in every league as a potential flex option? Next, they close out the show by doing a three-man best ball draft on FanDuel while commenting on their picks and strategy along the way (36:13). Stay tuned to hear who they ended up with!

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (3:52) is taken first overall because of his elite upside. Cam Akers (21:31) has plenty of potential, but is he worth taking as an RB2 despite the Rams' poor offensive line? David Montgomery (43:41) has a high floor due to his hefty workload, but what is his ceiling? Lastly, should Antonio Gibson (51:48) truthers be worried about Bryce Love (53:05)?

PPR Superflex Mock Draft w/ Matt Harmon (Ep. 534)
25/08/2020 Duration: 01h12minWe perform our first-ever superflex mock draft on the show for you today alongside Matt Harmon of Yahoo Sports. Before getting into the thick of it, we discuss whether Josh Jacobs' (3:58) production as a receiver is dinged by Las Vegas signing Theo Riddick. From the moment we begin the draft (10:16) you can understand just how different the decision-making process is because of the option to start two QBs. With that being said, Josh Allen (20:33) may be a reliable second-round choice in two-QB leagues and the increased emphasis on signal-callers dropped Calvin Ridley's (28:02) price to the back of the fourth round. Also, how should fantasy managers feel about nabbing Cam Newton (32:35) as their QB2, and is Teddy Bridgewater (49:45) someone you can be comfortable taking late?

22/08/2020 Duration: 01h14minThe guys round out the week by calling each other out on the player rankings they don't agree with. Can Tyrod Taylor (6:16) be a top-15 QB if he starts every game, how many targets can we expect for Christian Kirk (18:51), and does Allen Lazard (45:27) reserve consideration as a WR4? To conclude, Dr. David Chao joins the show and answers our most pressing injury questions heading into the season (51:45). When might Deebo Samuel (53:42) return and does Alex Smith (57:44) have a chance to win the starting QB job in Washington after recovering from his serious leg injury?

21/08/2020 Duration: 01h09minOne of the most consistently accurate experts is back on the pod with us! Jake Ciely from The Athletic has returned and the entire show is dedicated to which players he is actively targeting and avoiding. Is the fantasy community wrong for undervaluing Chris Carson (6:38) and will Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines stunt Jonathan Taylor's (29:59) value more than people think? Does D.J. Chark's (36:40) worth in fantasy hinge primarily on touchdowns and is Will Fuller (51:35) more of a "bust" than a "boom"? Sponsors: OwnersBox - The new wave of fantasy sports is finally here.

14/08/2020 Duration: 01h02minThe guys are joined by Joe Pisapia, author of the Fantasy Black Book series, to talk about their boldest fantasy predictions for the 2020 season. What are the odds that Kyler Murray (8:02) fails to produce QB1-caliber numbers, is Cam Newton (24:20) poised to bounce back and finish as a top-seven QB, and can the Bengals boast two 1,000-yard receivers (30:28)? We round out the show by guessing who this year's version of Austin Ekeler (52:35), Darren Waller (55:31), and DeVante Parker (59:23) could be.

14/08/2020 Duration: 01h08minThe guys come together to share their biggest takeaways from Tags' "Boom, Bust, and Everything in Between" article series. Is Derrick Henry (6:58) more consistent than most realize, does it make sense to take Tyreek Hill (19:45) over Julio Jones, and is Robert Woods (30:59) severely undervalued?

Rankings Cage Match: Tags vs. Yates vs. Dan (Ep. 526)
12/08/2020 Duration: 01h04minThe guys go toe-to-toe against each other today! Throughout the course of the show, our analysts fight over the value of 10 players based on where they have them ranked. Will Odell Beckham Jr. (13:31) be held back by injury risk, a new scheme, and too much competition for targets, or is the elite WR primed to bounce back in his second year with Baker Mayfield? Does Will Fuller (21:05) have WR2 despite his injury risk or will Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb relegate him to third on Houston's WR totem pole? Is Emmanuel Sanders (45:59) a viable flex option with Drew Brees as his QB or will a lack of pass attempts nuke his value? Lastly, can David Montgomery's (55:57) high volume propel him into being a top-15 RB or is a finish like that more representative of his ceiling because of Chicago's poor offense?

Avoid These 13 Busts + Who's Most Likely to ___? (Ep. 525)
11/08/2020 Duration: 57minMatthew Freedman of The Action Network joins us as we chat about which players have the biggest bust potential. Josh Jacobs' (4:22) mediocre offense and lack of targets might make him someone to stay away from. The guys debate whether Allen Robinson (29:16) will be held back by offensive uncertainty or maintain a high-floor with increased efficiency if Nick Foles takes over at QB. Also, Austin Hooper (43:03) may be facing a huge decrease in volume. We end things on a fun note by reading your questions about who is most likely to be a second-half stud (52:58) and which RB is most likely to lead all backs in receptions outside of Christian McCaffrey (54:09), among a few others.

The show kicks off with a deep dive into how Washington's backfield might shake out without Derrius Guice (4:06). Immediately afterward, the draft commences with Dan nabbing Michael Thomas at fourth overall (11:26). Can fantasy managers feel comfortable with Leonard Fournette (18:35) as their RB1, would it be ill-advised to select both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (37:12) on the same squad, and who is the better bet for production between Mecole Hardman and Henry Ruggs III (43:13)?

08/08/2020 Duration: 01h04minWe scour through the WR rankings with Chris Raybon from The Action Network and shine a light on which wideouts we're targeting and avoiding more so than the industry in each tier. Is Cooper Kupp (12:22) in line to reclaim his role as the Rams' top WR and will Tyreek Hill (25:05) deliver first-round value despite his inconsistency? Are the experts overvaluing Allen Robinson (34:12) and did Courtland Sutton (50:45) peak last year due to Denver's current abundance of receiving talent?

20 Mid-Round Value Picks w/ J.J. Zachariason (Ep. 522)
06/08/2020 Duration: 56minWe share our insight on which mid-round picks present the most value alongside J.J. Zachariason of The Late-Round Podcast. Will Tyler Lockett (11:19) maintain his extreme efficiency from the first half of last season and was Raheem Mostert's (24:38) hot stretch in 2019 legitimate or is he just a TD-dependent, two-down back? Why is it typically unwise to draft quarterbacks in the middle rounds (36:17) and would it be smart to reach for Latavius Murray (51:49) in the ninth round?
