Today's show is dedicated to you, the listener, as we spend the whole show analyzing your hot takes. Your intriguing bold predictions forced us to ponder the odds of Aaron Rodgers stealing Peyton Manning's single-season passing touchdown record this year (13:06) and Keenan Allen (19:55) and Joe Mixon (26:02) finishing 2018 as the top fantasy WR and RB, respectively. We also discuss the chances of Adam Shaheen producing more fantasy points than Trey Burton (43:20) and Corey Davis receiving 130+ targets (57:16).

In today's show, we go through an entire half PPR mock draft from start to finish, all while providing analysis on our picks. But first, we evaluate the fantasy impact of the Corey Coleman trade (4:58) and break down a development regarding Sony Michel's injury (6:53). As we complete our draft, some of the questions we tackle are if fantasy owners are better off selecting Chris Hogan over Sammy Watkins (15:51), is John Ross now more valuable than Geronimo Allison (34:40), and what should fantasy owners make of Devin Funchess (44:24)?

We're bringing the Pay Mayo Experience to our latest episode and in today's show, we're taking turns naming who we feel are the riskiest players to draft this year.

We're also giving our thoughts on news about Christian McCaffrey's workload (6:35), Josh Gordon's time away from the team (9:30), and what that might mean for Jarvis Landry.

Which risky unheralded players can quietly become viable fantasy producers? That's what we're here to shed some light on for you today. Eric Decker (00:27) could wind up with sneaky upside if he becomes a Patriot. Fantasy owners would also do well not to sleep on Kelvin Benjamin (15:02), Jamaal Williams (23:34), or Blake Bortles (38:46), among many others. The back end of the show features some very interesting nuggets of information about several offenses fantasy owners will depend upon this season. Those facts produce some intriguing questions, like which wide receiver outside of Larry Fitzgerald will achieve fantasy relevance in the desert (46:20), and is Christian McCaffrey's upside heavily capped (47:18)?

Later on, listen in for our opinions on who the first TE taken off the board should be (44:39) and why Trey Burton is one of the safest fantasy TEs (49:16).

With the NFL preseason less than two weeks away, we're back to break down a full fantasy mock draft from start to finish as our experts go head-to-head against each other in the same mock draft room for the very first time! Tags kicks things off by selecting Saquon Barkley with the seventh pick (8:35), and Bobby follows that up by taking Julio Jones 10th overall (10:10). Throughout the draft we attempt to answer some perplexing questions drafters will face while on the clock, like what is the difference between Demaryius Thomas and Amari Cooper (24:45), can Rex Burkhead be a startable fantasy RB each week (48:07), and how much upside does Keelan Cole hold as a late-round pick (53:38)?

Sports Illustrated's Michael Beller joins the show as we tell you which players' ADPs we expect to rise and fall before the season begins. However, we start the show by digging into the great Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers debate (2:27) and analyzing the aftermath of Ricky Seals-Jones' arrest (5:43). Chris Carson's emergence may hurt Rashaad Penny's ADP (16:22) and Jordan Reed's draft price has nowhere to go but up (29:28). Also, will the Saints' acquisition of Shane Vereen (35:02) have bigger implications than one might think, and are the Titans Dez Bryant's next destination (40:06)? We then close out the show by answering your Listener Mailbag questions (50:34). Sponsors: YouRulz.com - Take control and change your game today. Your team, your settings, your rules.

We are joined by numberFire's Jim Sannes to discuss how fantasy owners should navigate through the early rounds. Some of the topics we touch on are which players should be the first three picks (10:48), is Doug Baldwin worth reaching for (24:54), who should fantasy owners aim for after the top 20 (39:04), are Joe Mixon or Jerick McKinnon worth grabbing at the end of the second round (43:31), and is Kareem Hunt (58:48) a lock to be an RB1?

Pat Fitzmaurice from TheFootballGirl.com joins the show today to discuss some players whose ADPs are either too low or too high. Is Jordan Reed's (17:00) relatively high ADP actually warranted? Are both the public and the experts still too high on Julian Edelman (26:33) despite his already low ranking and draft cost? What should fantasy owners make of Jamaal Williams (42:55)? Can Rex Burkhead (46:17) have a consistent role in the oft-unpredictable Patriots' backfield? Is there a safer receiver in Detroit than Marvin Jones (54:24)? We offer insight into all these questions and tackle many others in today's episode. Sponsors: YouRulz.com - Take control and change your game today. Your team, your settings, your rules.

We discuss our favorite deep sleepers heading into the season, many of whom usually go undrafted. Ricky Seals-Jones was very good in limited playing time last year (8:40), Sam Bradford may have QB1 potential (17:34), and Mike Williams is far too overlooked in drafts (20:05). Plus, Jordan Wilkins has the skills to win the Colts' starting RB job (36:46), and Geronimo Allison (49:02) starts for an offense with "the greatest quarterback in the history of the world."
