Saquon Barkley and Russell Wilson bouncing back in a big way. CeeDee Lamb outperforming expectations. What else is Jamey predicting? Let's start with Wilson and the Broncos wide receivers (3:05) and how great of a season this could be for them. And then you'll hear from the Fantasy Cops (12:30) to settle the Tommy Pham vs. Joc Pederson dispute ... News and notes (21:10) on the Chiefs and Saints passing games and then it's back to bold predictions. Saquon Barkley Top 5 (26:40)!? Jamey tells you why he thinks it could happen ... Jamey makes a bold call on who will lead the Packers in receptions (33:55) and who will be the #1 WR in Fantasy this season (39:15) ... Your emails at [email protected]

Does Stefon Diggs have legitimate WR1 potential (2:15)? Why has his performance a little bit down last year and what kind of bounce back do we foresee in 2022? ... We take players being drafted in the same range and debate their upside (16:50). J.K. Dobbins or Elijah Mitchell? Jerry Jeudy or Marquise Brown? Darren Waller or Kyle Pitts?

Hopefully you'll learn a lot today about some new metrics and which players stand out in certain advanced stats. We're joined by SportsLine's Jacob Gibbs to discuss how much advanced stats actually help our Fantasy evaluations (4:00) and the ones we rely on most (5:30) ... We update the "Best Shape of His Life" list and then Jacob dives into advanced stats on rookie wide receivers (10:0). He looked at which incoming rookies ran the types of routes you'll see a lot of in the NFL. Which players ran them efficiently and which ones struggled? Treylon Burks and George Pickens were among the standouts ... News and notes (19:15) focused mostly on the Cardinals signing Darrel Williams. Then let's get back to our advanced stats! We cover intended air yards per pass attempt (25:50), off-target pass percentage (31:00), average depth of target (41:00), per route efficiency (49:30) and the RBs who are best at avoiding and breaking tackles (52:10). Included among the advanced stat standouts are Joe Burrow, Javonte Williams and Tony Pollard ... Email us at [email protected]

We're learning about regression today! Well, really we're just talking about abnormally high or low TD rates, yards per catch and other metrics that will factor into your 2022 draft strategy. We start with a Deebo Samuel chat (2:15) and a Ja'Marr Chase stat (9:15). Are we actually concerned about how many 50+ yard TD catches Chase had last season? ... News and notes (14:00) as we have some players skipping voluntary team activities. Then we talk QB regression candidates Lamar Jackson (17:40) and Joe Burrow (21:50). Will Burrow increase his pass attempts enough to combat the regression that we know is coming? ... Moving on to RBs (29:10), Dalvin Cook, Miles Sanders and James Conner had different kinds of TD luck in 2021. Should we expect Cook to regress back to being an elite Fantasy option? Then we talk WRs (36:10) including Cooper Kupp and TEs (44:15) including Cole Kmet and Kyle Pitts ... Your emails at [email protected]

Sure, we have a few months before most of our drafts begin, but we still need to monitor the early trends. After some trivia to kick off the show, Dave tells you his favorite draft value (5:45) and Jamey tells you his least favorite early draft value (12:30) based on current ADP ... News and notes (14:45) on the Panthers and Seahawks quarterback situations, the Dolphins running backs, potential problems with the Patriots offense and more. Then we're back to the good draft values (26:00) including Mike Evans. Should he be a Round 2 pick? ... We like Courtland Sutton, Dalton Schultz and a couple of others if you can get them after pick 65 (35:00). A couple of rookie WRs could be steals in Round 10 (37:15) and Dameon Pierce in Round 11 (40:00) could pay off. And we finish with bad values (46:00) like Javonte Williams, Jaylen Waddle, DeAndre Hopkins and Dawson Knox. When is the right time to draft the players? ... Your Apple Podcast questions.

First, let's talk yards per carry and what it means in Fantasy (1:00) for David Montgomery, Ezekiel Elliott, Saquon Barkley, Najee Harris and more ...

The splits in the Patriots backfield, Dalvin Cook's struggles near the goal line, Travis Kelce's edge over TE5 and much more! We've got some noteworthy stats from 2021 that might matter in 2022. First, let's hit the news and notes (1:45) including Jerry Jeudy's arrest and Jarvis Landry's role with the Saints ... Starting our stats segment with Jonathan Taylor (14:21)! Did you know he scored the fewest PPR Fantasy Points for the #1 RB since 2015? Also, we'll tell you what to know about the Patriots backfield competition (18:05) and just how much better Kelce has been than TE5 in each of the last four seasons (25:30) ... Joe Burrow was surprisingly underwhelming late in the season (31:40), but his pass attempts were up! Dalvin Cook (37:15) and Mike Williams (40:30) struggled mightily near the goal line and Cleveland rookie WR David Bell (44:40) led the nation in something that could translate to the next level ...
