If you follow Ryan McDowell on Twitter, then you know there might not be anyone keeping closer track of rookie-draft values and player dynasty trends in general. So Matt invited him onto the pod for a temperature check on this year's incoming class of prospects. We also talked about dynasty mistakes, what dynasty owners might do better than NFL decision makers, why Tim Couch still hurts and more.

Here's the rundown: 

Rookie and startup mock draft trends ... 2:00

Rise of superflex and the rookie QBs ... 7:56

Ranking Kyle Pitts and the rest of the class ... 12:01

​​Jared's been away for a couple of weeks wrapping up his 1st run at 2021 fantasy football rankings. Those are now LIVE -- along with the MVP Board -- earlier than we've ever had that before. That's because the proliferation of best-ball drafting has more people filling fantasy football rosters much earlier than we all used to. Much will change as we move through NFL free agency and the NFL Draft. But we're ready to look at which QBs landed surprisingly high, which RBs might make you queasy with their rankings, who the late-round values are at WR and where the upside begins at TE.

Here's the rundown:

QB ... 2:36

RB ... 11:43

WR ... 27:30

TE ... 40:20

Was drafting Steelers RB James Conner bad process or ​​just bad coaching by his team? Was Raiders WR Henry Ruggs the kind of draft mistake that's OK to make? How did so many of us miss out on Aaron Rodgers? And were Chris Herndon drafters wrong, or did they just get Gase'd. Ian Hartitz of Pro Football Focus joins us for the final episode in our "What I Got Wrong" series to recap some of his key misses in 2020 fantasy football drafts.

Hayden Winks of NBC Sports Edge joins us for Episode 5 of the "What I Got Wrong" series. We're looking at the changing landscape of QB drafting -- which might have seen a significant shift in 2020. We're also taking another look at Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Rams TE Tyler Higbee, as well as discussing the challenges of regular season's quick information churn. Stick around to the end and you'll even hear an analytics guy talk ponder whether we're worrying too much about regression to the mean.
