We'll start with key stats (2:40) about the wide receiver position. Most Top 12 WRs are drafted in the first six rounds and the quality of their offense matters! Should you draft a #2 WR on a great offense or a #1 WR on a bad offense? Also, is it safer to draft a running back or a WR in Rounds 2-3 (8:00)? The answer may surprise you! ... We've got preseason takeaways (13:00) and then we compare ADP on FantasyPros to ADP on NFC since August 1st (16:45). There are key differences you need to know about! ...

Moore and Michael Pittman. Who do we prefer? As we take you through Rounds 4 (42:40), 5 (46:40) and 6 (52:30), you'll see that ADP doesn't matter so much. Go get your guy! And who do we like in Round 7 and beyond (57:30)? Rashod Bateman, Allen Lazard and Drake London could be great picks ... Email us at [email protected]

We start with some Fantasy Fun Facts (0:50) on the 2022 RB class including why age 27 has been unkind to RBs in recent seasons, why Tony Pollard might deserve more carries (5:30) and what Elijah Mitchell did last season that was so unusual (7:45) ...
