We're excited to talk about this loaded WR class. Emory Hunt joins us with scouting reports, player comps, overrated and underrated players and more. First, we'll ask him to follow up on his thoughts on the Rams backfield (4:00) as he is not quite as high on Cam Akers as you might think. Now to the WRs, who would Emory take fourth overall: Kyle Pitts or Devonta Smith (7:10)? And let's spend a lot of time on the Top 3 WRs in this class (9:15). Are we talking about potential superstars? If Ja'Marr Chase goes to the Bengals, Smith goes to the Dolphins and Jaylen Waddle goes to the Giants, will those rookie WRs be better than their veteran teammates (19:30)? If so, how much better? ... OK, it's time to talk about other WRs (21:40)! Who are some of the best guys after the Top 3 that could be taken in Round 1? Who is overrated (28:40)? Who is underrated (30:00)? ... Emory gives us player comps for a number of the incoming rookies (33:45) and then we re-evaluate the 2020 WR class (37:15). Who is the new #1 for Emory? We've also got news and notes from around the NFL (44:00) ... Your emails at [email protected]

It's a hodgepodge of Fantasy topics on today's show (and exploration of the origin of the word "hodgepodge"). We start with some Derrick Henry analysis (3:36) and what the history of 2,000 yard rushers suggests about Henry's 2021 outlook ... Which teams had the worst run blocking offensive lines in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus (15:00)? The Chargers top the list, but a couple of teams that could draft RBs next week also show up in the Top 5. And how about the worst pass blocking teams (22:46)? Are the Giants going to get better because they are young? And what should we expect from a rookie offensive tackle? ... We take a closer look at the declining TD rate of DeAndre Hopkins and whether he will hit double digits in 2021 (31:31). Then it's time to talk Dynasty! We're checking in on Heath's RB (37:15) and WR (42:40) tiers and predicting where the rookies will slot in ... Email us at [email protected]

We are joined by Jake Ciely of The Athletic to talk some strategy and philosophy. Does anything change with a 17-game season (2:15)? Do RBs become more or less valuable with 17 games? Speaking of RBs, do you prefer to handcuff your own RB or a RB that is not on your Fantasy team (6:08)? ... TE philosophies will be very interesting this season (10:50). Jake is not quite as bullish on the Top 3 as the CBS guys are. But how bullish will we be on the 2021 rookie WRs (18:30)? Also what is our backup QB philosophy (24:45) and which position delivers the most breakouts in Rounds 10 or later? ... We've got a new segment called "Phrases That People Screw Up" (32:55)!
