It's officially fantasy football draft season!Well, it has been for a while around here now. Even though we haven't delivered a new podcast for a few weeks, the 2017 player rankings, MVP Board and plenty more have been live on the site since early June.But even now that our projections are out there for the world to see, we're far from finished with them.Besides the obvious challenges of injuries and camp battles, there are simply players and situations that we're still trying to figure out. Should we believe the negative buzz around Carlos Hyde? Is Bilal Powell really ready to become a full-season fantasy contributor? And which Washington WR is worth owning?Those are just some of the questions we're pondering this week -- and will continue to ponder through the summer.

It's projections season. The official DS numbers hit the site Tuesday!But before those puppies go live, Jared and Matt have to mesh their individual ranks. We spent last week's show pointing out some players who landed higher than we expected going into the process. Now it's time for the guys who checked in low.That QB who just delivered a team-boosting, dynamo season? Yeah, he's in for a fall.That NFC North RB you keep wanting to like? Math's not as much of a fan.And the WR group presents plenty of options -- from Round 1 down through WR3 range.Check out our picks and let us know what you think.

If you listen to this podcast regularly, then you know that Matt's not a member of the Amari Cooper fan club. That's why he wound up surprised with how high the 3rd-year Raiders WR landed in his 2017 projections.And that's the theme for today's show. We're less than 2 weeks away from the official Draft Sharks projections, MVP Board, etc. going live. So the boys are putting numbers to the names they've been wondering about all offseason. This always leads to some players landing higher than expected in the rankings, and others checking in lower.After nearly a month away from the podcast, let's go positive to get things going again. Which NFC and AFC North RBs dot the list? Which veteran WR continues to get much less draft love than he deserves? And which young TEs could be set for fantasy breakthroughs in 2017?Let us know who you're most excited about in this early part of draft season ...

Be honest. How familiar were you with Chad Williams and Kenny Golladay before last weekend?We certainly weren't thinking of them as highly as the Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions (respectively) were. But we're definitely not ignoring them after each went in Friday night's 3rd round. Did they land in good spots for their short/long-term value?And what were the other takeaways from Round 2 and beyond? (Round 1 we covered on last week's pod.) How did the weekend shake up our RB rookie rankings -- and potentially change the way that group fits with the WRs for dynasty rookie drafts?Let's run through every position group in this class before we move on to preparing for the 2017 fantasy football season.

Wow.None of us expected the top 3 WRs to go among the top 9 overall picks. All 3 QBs drafted watched teams trade up to get them (and the QB-needy Browns move down away from them).Just 2 RBs left the board.No TE got picked in the 1st half of the round.So what did these first 32 picks do to the dynasty rookie-draft landscape, and will they change this class' trajectory for 2017 redraft leagues?We're breaking it all down, while getting excited for plenty more fantasy intrigue on Friday and Saturday.

With Jared on vacation, Kevin's stepping into the co-host seat and bringing some rankings with him.We're starting out with some more chatter on the incoming rookies, who will finally find their NFL homes next week. Can Matt find someone to join his side on Zay Jones, or is he in for an uphill battle on this WR crush?The redraft rankings bring a little more controversy, starting with a certain Raiders wideout who just might prove to be a rankings hot button for the 2nd straight year. He's far from the only focal point, though.Kevin ranks a couple of rookie backs quite high -- before we even know where they'll land. He's more optimistic for Marshawn Lynch than Matt is. And we're all trying to sort out the Seattle and New England backfields.Listen in and then let us know whose side you're on.

The NFL Draft sits just 2 weeks away, so we're coming through our Dynasty Prospect Profiles for a 2nd straight week.Last Thursday shined the spotlight on WRs and TEs. This time around, we're hitting the QBs first.It seems like a strange class, with no clear #1 guy and perhaps no top-10 pick in the actual draft. Mike Mayock made news this week by shifting his QB rankings to leave Clemson's Deshaun Watson as his new top passer, but only 1 of us favors the same player at the top of the fantasy chart.After that, we're on to RBs -- a group with no shortage of fan fare this draft season.Is Leonard Fournette this year's Ezekiel Elliott, or might he not even sit #1 among RBs when our dynasty rookie-draft rankings hit the site? Beyond him, we'll also look at how far that top shelf reaches and then who we like beyond that range ... (a spot on which Matt and Jared might actually agree).And even if you're not playing dynasty, we'll hit on some guys who could make immediate fantasy impacts -- even presenting enviable value in early MFL 10 and FFPC drafting.Listen in and give us your thoughts in the comments below ...

When Louisiana Tech WR Carlos Henderson hit the site Thursday, he became the 14th wideout in our Dynasty Prospect Profile series -- which also includes 17 other players (and counting) from the QB, RB and TE groups. Over the next 2 weeks, we're going to talk a bit more about some of those guys.Receivers have been Jared's focus the past 2 NFL Draft seasons, so Matt's picking his brain a bit today.Besides the obvious guys near the top of the class, who else appears to be holding a ticket for the top of the rookie-draft rankings? And what exactly are we looking for in fantasy prospects at this position anyway?On the flipside, who's getting a bit too much love -- or at least has more proving to do?No matter who you like in the WR group, this looks like a spot to mine potential value in early MFL10 and FFPC drafting. So alongside the long-term likes, we're throwing out some potential late-round gems for your early best-ball squads.TEs aren't nearly as much funs as wideouts, but this year's class might just prove special. So we'll look at the top options and some of the league's more interesting situations.

You'll have to excuse our tears on this episode.Still new DFS-driven legislation has left us New Yorkers unable to dive into the early drafting action on MyFantasyLeague.com. But that doesn't mean we're ignoring the results ... or you, of course.In fact, we recently delivered our 2017 MFL10 ADP Explorer.This tool -- created by our data scientist Jason Phelps -- has been around for a couple of years now, making it easier for you to track the action as you draft. You can see things like ADP trends and calculate the likelihood that a player will make it back to you. And it's absolutely FREE ... for now.So we're using the Explorer info to dig into how drafters are making their early decisions.RBs appear to be rebounding after a resurgent 2016, but how far does that rebound actually go?Who are fantasy folks a little too excited about at this point, and who's slipping unfairly just because he disappointed last year?Even if you're not playing MFL10s yet, this is the best early look into how 2017 drafting might go in your fantasy football league.

How did you feel about the fantasy impact when Brandon Marshall chose the Giants?Do you like DeSean Jackson's arrival for him and others in the Bucs offense?What's the ceiling for Alshon Jeffery in Philadelphia?We already gave each of those moves the full article treatment, but a bunch of other players have also found new homes -- whether as free agents or via trade.Does Brandin Cooks look just as good with the Patriots as he did with the Saints?Did the Browns make a bad move in choosing Kenny Britt over Terrelle Pryor?Has any RB traded up in the situation department?We're spending today's podcast running through all the moves that have mattered so far -- and even touching on a few that don't. Listen in and then tell us your favorite -- or least favorite -- fantasy changes in the comments below.
