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.

We kick off today's show with some training camp nuggets about Dalvin Cook's health (6:59) and the state of the Seahawks backfield (13:18) among many other things.

We're running another best ball draft with you, the listeners, and like last time, there's no shortage of us getting sniped. Tune in for all our live reactions and thoughts of the picks. Before that though, there's news to discuss with Julio Jones announcing his plans to skip camp (4:55). We've also got the stat of the day (9:16), quick thoughts on Cameron Meredith's outlook in New Orleans (7:53),...

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.

Chris Carson's emergence may hurt Rashaad Penny's ADP (16:22) and Jordan Reed's draft price has nowhe...

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 i...

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:...

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 of...

The Fantasy Footballers' Jason Moore joins us to discuss which players should be avoided in drafts. Deshaun Watson (3:03), Derrick Henry (20:51), and Allen Robinson (44:37) are being taken too high, but we disagree on whether Leonard Fournette (29:46) should be avoided. We also give our insight on intriguing topics, like if Lamar Jackson is worth a flier (17:02), what Sony Michel's upside is (32:5...

We're back to break down the recent minicamps and Greg Smith from TwoQBs.com is joinings us to discuss potential fantasy impact. Is Tyrod Taylor primed to become Cleveland's de facto starting QB (4:05)? If so, then what might that mean for Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon (10:33)? With Andrew Luck throwing footballs once again (15:49), how high will his ADP climb (20:16), and how much upside will Eri...

Justin Boone from theScore.com joins the gang as we discuss some potential breakout candidates this season. We start the show by pondering some intriguing questions, like where should Andrew Luck (3:14) and the Colts wideouts (7:34) be ranked now that Luck is throwing again, whether contract years actually matter for fantasy production (10:09), and what exactly qualifies as a "breakout" season (19...

FantasyPros' own expert, Jody Smith, teams up with Bobby and Tags to shine some light on which quarterbacks are ranked either too high or too low based on our expert consensus rankings. Everyone agrees that Deshaun Watson's (7:08) small sample size is undeserving of his generous ranking, and that same sentiment is expressed for Jimmy Garoppolo (16:43). Despite his track record, Tom Brady (21:59) i...

Footballguys.com expert, Sigmund Bloom, joins Bobby and Tags in our 200th episode to scour through the wide receiver expert consensus rankings and highlight notable overvalued and undervalued wideouts. Before we dive headfirst into the wide receiver rankings talk, the trio does their best to decide if Jordan Reed (5:00) and Brandon Marshall (9:16) are worth scooping up in drafts. Tags and Sigmund...
