FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

The NFL season is finally upon us! We'll be here before the first game each week to give you our thoughts on which guys you should start in your lineup or sit on your bench for the week. Before getting into the meat of the show, we break down some depth chart news and give you the latest on the Le'Veon Bell holdout (15:43). Should fantasy owners be concerned about Philip Rivers' historically under...

Tom Federico and David Hess from TeamRankings.com join us to share which strategies work best for being the last person standing in survivor pools (13:35) and winning your pick 'em contest (29:41). The last 20 minutes of the show are dedicated to breaking down our projections from last year (42:30), diving into our predictions for the new season (50:20) like whether the Jaguars are Super Bowl boun...

With the regular season quickly approaching, our hosts explore which commonly unowned players you would be wise to hold on to. However, we start the show going over the Khalil Mack trade (3:25 & 13:51) and debating who steps up in Jerick McKinnon's absence (7:24). Why does DeVante Parker (22:32) deserve to be rostered in all fantasy leagues? Does Anthony Miller have more upside than Chris Godwin (...

Whether you've drafted already or not, we're talking late-round fliers that are worth stashing to start the season. Joining us for this show is Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys. The season is just about here and with that, we're looking at what to make of Royce Freeman sitting the final game of the preseason (3:36) and Ronald Jones's struggles. We then take turns naming our favorite fliers to snag at...

Justin Boone from theScore is with us as we share which players we are actively targeting and who we are steering clear of. Patrick Mahomes (14:17) may have high upside, but should his tough early-season schedule dampen your outlook? Does Alex Collins (27:48) have a stranglehold on the Ravens' starting running back job? With his ADP swiftly rising, does Amari Cooper (42:26) still have enough equit...

Jamey Eisenberg from CBS Sports joins the show as we discuss some of the larger discrepancies between his rankings and the Expert Consensus Rankings. Does Russell Wilson carry more risk than people realize (6:05), will Kerryon Johnson's talent earn him the lion's share of Detroit's backfield touches (18:32), and should fantasy owners fully buy into Marquise Goodwin's upside (30:30)? We end the sho...

Football Diehards' Bob Harris is with us as we shed some light on which players you will surely regret drafting. However, before we jump into that, we just can't understand why the Broncos have decided not to start Royce Freeman (8:13). It's hard to trust Devonta Freeman (25:29) with how much work he cedes to Tevin Coleman, Derrick Henry's (36:04) current situation is very similar to what he exper...

Mike Wright from The Fantasy Footballers joins the crew as we each share which players could possess league-winning upside. But first, we decide how far Keelan Cole (5:00) should move up the rankings in the wake of Marqise Lee's season-ending injury. During the meat of the show, we all agree that New England's depleted receiving corps leaves Rob Gronkowski (19:50) with league-winning ability. Does...

4for4.com's John Paulsen comes on the show to help shed some light on 12 different players who carry plenty of risk. What should we think of Andrew Luck's unimpressive preseason performances (12:32), how often will the 49ers use Jerick McKinnon (23:02), and is it wrong to underestimate Juju Smith-Schuster this year (36:14)? The episode ends with a segment on running back battles and which back fan...

It's the show you've been hoping for as we have Matt Harmon, creator of Reception Perception, and now an analyst for Yahoo! Sports, joining us to chat about wide receiver tiers. We're taking a deep dive to help you through all your questions regarding the position.

We spend today's show creating one fantasy roster full of players who are poised to bounce back from disappointing seasons last year, and another fantasy roster that is filled with players who we won't let burn us again. Drew Brees is primed for positive touchdown regression (13:55), Joe Mixon has superstar potential (17:19), and Amari Cooper should benefit as the focal point of a John Gruden offe...

Jake Ciely from The Athletic joins the crew as we undertake a standard-scoring mock draft for you and share our thoughts and analysis on what's happening along the way. Should fantasy owners feel comfortable drafting Tyreek Hill as a high-end WR2 (10:58), and is taking Chris Hogan in the fifth round a reach (18:39)? Plus, will Latavius Murray be more than just a handcuff (41:21), and who is the WR...

Shedding light on sleepers who offer lots of upside with minimal cost is the focus of today's show, but first we gauge whether Adrian Peterson will have substantial fantasy value in Washington (3:30). Why are people still snoozing on Jets starting RB Bilal Powell (14:18)? Mike Williams may be one of the biggest steals in fantasy drafts this year (28:11) and James White could be in for a much bigge...

Which late-round players have the potential to offer great production for little to no draft cost? John Ross should command a healthy chunk of targets as the Bengals' No. 2 WR (13:50), and Dante Pettis may have a shot to be San Francisco's best fantasy receiver (31:13), but can Brandon Marshall be a top-30 WR if he starts for Seattle (24:56)? We later spend the end of the show debating players we...

We're scouring through our running back rankings and analyzing how we have them tiered. Should Ezekiel Elliott be taken after Leonard Fournette and Saquon Barkley (11:30), is Christian McCaffrey's upside capped (19:24), and will Jay Ajayi be a much larger part of Philadelphia's offense this season (30:35)? Towards the end, we name some late-round backs who might be worth targeting, like Jeremy Hil...

Brad Evans from Yahoo Sports joins our crew today as we share our bold fantasy predictions with you. Royce Freeman finishing 2018 as a top-10 RB (9:16), Eric Ebron ending the season as a top-five TE (18:32), and Trey Burton outproduicng Jimmy Graham (34:59) are just some of the flaming hot takes discussed.

Andy Holloway from the Fantasy Footballers joins us to discuss which players you should steer clear of in fantasy drafts at their current prices. Rashaad Penny is one rookie fantasy owners may want to start fading (6:04), Devin Funchess is primed to regress (24:55), and Will Fuller is being taken far too high (39:51). We close out the show with some intriguing takes on Jimmy Graham (54:23). Can he...

Which hyped up players should you buy into and which players are unjustly overblown? Matt Waldman from Footballguys joins the show to help us answer that very question.

Plus, will Juju Smith-Schuster transform into a superstar or is a major regressi...

Today's show is dedicated to you, the listener, as we spend the whole show analyzing your hot takes.

We also discuss the chances of...

As we complete our draft, some of the questions we tackle are if fantasy owners are better off selecting Chris Hogan over Sammy Wa...

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.
