Who are our favorite 2021 bounceback candidates? Whether we go the injury route with someone like Saquon Barkley (2:15) or the performance route with someone like Matt Ryan (5:30), we have plenty of names to discuss and much to debate. Is Ezekiel Elliott (10:40) an easy bounceback candidate or are his best days behind him? ... The QB bounceback discussion starts with Lamar Jackson (19:05). Will he improve as a passer? Will it matter? We also debate Jackson vs. Kyler Murray and Josh Allen within this discussion. And then we move on to Matthew Stafford, Ben Roethlisberger and Carson Wentz (30:50) ... At RB (36:10), is it possible for Josh Jacobs to "bounce back"? Depends on how you look at it! And we debate Joe Mixon vs. Miles Sanders (42:40) ... Email us at [email protected]

We've got more reaction to the Sam Darnold trade at the top of the show and then again minutes later (7:10) before we get into our two main topics. Let's start with some ADP mistakes (14:45)! Fantasy managers are drafting Cam Akers ahead of Aaron Jones and D.K. Metcalf ahead of A.J. Brown. Are those justifiable or are they mistakes? What other ADP trends caught our eye? ... Looking at new offensive coordinators and play callers around the league, which ones will have the biggest impact on the RBs? We start with the Chargers (26:00) and the Lions (32:00) and what we can expect from RBs in the passing game. Let's hope Joe Lombardi's second stint as an offensive coordinator is better than his first ... We also cover the play calling possibilities in Jacksonville (35:40), Tennessee/Minnesota (37:40), plus Miami, Seattle, Philadelphia and finally Atlanta (49:10) ... Email us at [email protected]

We've got some news and notes to start the show including Ke'Shawn Vaughn's potential role in the Bucs backfield (3:00) and Jamey telling everyone why Adam is a bad Fantasy co-manager (7:23). Then we'll get into our big topics. Are we putting too much faith in unproven QBs (11:40) and RBs (20:15)? Are Kyler Murray and Josh Allen going to be overdrafted? And what do we make of the Year 2 RBs? There will be seven of them drafted in the first four rounds, but did they really show us enough in 2020? ... We debate Kirk Cousins vs. Ryan Tannehill (30:30), discuss why 49ers pass catchers don't catch enough TDs (34:10) and give you an eye-popping Julio Jones vs. A.J. Brown stat (36:30) ... The Fantasy Cops are back (39:30)! Send any of your league disputes to our email address and put "Fantasy Cops" in the subject line ... Your emails at [email protected]

We're talking about a 17-game season! What's our favorite "17th game" in 2021? And we're answering some of your questions at the top of the show including if J.D. McKissic and Curtis Samuel can coexist (7:10), strategies in 16-team leagues (10:10) and James Conner's dynasty value (12:50) ... Some news and notes (15:40) and we get into our projections. How did Heath and Chris account for a 17-game season (17:00)? They debate a couple of QBs (18:00) Matt Ryan and Daniel Jones before getting into the RB debates (22:40). Are they both too low on Jonathan Taylor? Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire going to be a workhorse? What should we make of the recent trend of RBs seeing fewer targets? ... WR debates (34:50) on the Seahawks guys and Michael Thomas. And at TE (42:00) we have a quick discussion about the new Patriots TEs ...

We hope (and sometimes expect) to see QBs make big jumps in their second NFL season. If that's the case for Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, which pass catchers would benefit most? We'll answer that after some brief NFL Draft talk (1:40). And as we get back to the topic of the day, what are our expectations for Burrow and Herbert in 2021 (2:15)? What could go wrong for Herbert and Keenan Allen? ... Let's start with the Bengals (13:10)! Why does Tee Higgins get drafted ahead of Tyler Boyd in PPR leagues? And as we look at the Chargers (19:40), should Keenan Allen be selected before D.K. Metcalf? Is Mike Williams - or anyone else on the team - a sleeping giant? ... On to the Eagles (30:00), who will lead the team in receiving in 2021? And what happens if they draft a WR? And finally, the Dolphins might be tricky to project for a variety of reasons (37:40). We'll talk about all of their relevant pass catchers and how to evaluate them if they draft Ja'Marr Chase or someone similar ... Your emails at [email protected]

Follow along as we review this post-free agency mock draft (https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-post-free-agency-ppr-mock-draft-reflects-big-march-player-movement/) ...

Before we discuss how the free agent signings affected our latest mock draft, we get into the latest news and debate Ronald Jones vs. Leonard Fournette (1:30). Who would the listeners draft first? And what is the impact of Baltimore signing Sammy Watkins (11:30)? Does it affect the key Ravens players? Does it give a boost to Tyreek Hill? Oh, and we react to the 17-game season! ... Looking at our 12-team, PPR mock draft (22:00), what has changed since the last time we drafted in January? Aaron Jones moved up 11 spots. Josh Jacobs was down 18 spots. What about Kenny Golladay (30:36)? Why aren't we higher on Tyler Boyd (35:00)!? ... We continue to discuss the draft as we talk some strategy (42:00). Jamey took a RB with each of his first three picks. Heath took a QB in Round 3 and a TE in Round 4. Adam had a specific goal at QB and TE that he was able to accomplish in Rounds 6 and 7. Let's see how these strategies worked out! ... Email us at [email protected]

Is Leonard Fournette's return to the Bucs bad for both him and Ronald Jones, or could you make a case that this is actually a good spot for Fournette? And which of these RBs are we drafting first? Are either of them better than Josh Jacobs? How about the 49ers RBs? We also react to the Dolphins, 49ers and Eagles moving up and down in the NFL Draft (9:45).

Let's start with the news from around the NFL. The Falcons, Bears and Jets all signed RBs (2:42), but will Mike Davis, Damien Williams or Tevin Coleman have a chance to be starters?
