At times it makes more sense to look at points per game rather than total Fantasy points, and that's what we'll do today as we evaluate certain players like Kyler Murray and Joe Mixon. First, we've got COVID news (2:40) as Nate Solder and Devin Funchess opt out and more NFL news to cover (7:30) ... We look at the Top 10 in points per game at each position (15:45) and tell you what stands out. Then let's look at some revealing ppg examples like how similar Murray, Gardner Minshew and Daniel Jones were in 2019 (25:41) ... James Conner was better than Mixon per game (33:45). Also, ppg stats on Marlon Mack (38:40) and several WRs (45:05) including how Stefon Diggs and John Brown averaged the same amount of Fantasy points and why Julian Edelman and Sterling Shepard might be underrated ...

We know about the rookie RBs, but there are so many other training camp battles worth watching. We start with some quick questions (3:00) about whose ADP will rise the most in camp and whose will fall the most. And the guys give an underrated position battle to watch (8:00) before we answer a question about handcuffing strategies in the COVID age (14:45) ... QB position battles (18:00): MIA, CHI and LAC. Which one of these battles will have the biggest impact on the WRs? Then it's on to RB position battles (25:00)! Projected splits for Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay, debating whether or not the MIA RBs are worth rostering and more ... Finally, we discuss the WRs (39:00). Are we sure Diontae Johnson is the WR2 for PIT? Who do we like in KC? PHI? NYJ? And there are many more to discuss ... Your emails at [email protected]

We start with the latest NFL news! Ronald Jones is expected to be the TB starting RB, so should you draft him ahead of Devin Singletary, Le'Veon Bell, David Johnson and the rest of that group (2:48)? We also give you the latest COVID news (8:00) and more ... Beginning our rankings disputes with Kenyan Drake vs. Travis Kelce (14:55). Do you go with the safety of Kelce or the upside or Drake? Then we debate Mike Evans vs. Allen Robinson (21:21) and Ben Roethlisberger vs. Jared Goff (24:55). Are we too high on Roethlisberger considering we don't know how he'll do without Antonio Brown? ... Two more debates including Chris Carson vs. the elite QBs (32:30) and Tarik Cohen vs. David Montgomery in PPR (37:50). And we conclude our show with some finality on our "sitting your DST on Monday night" debate from Friday (44:40). Find out what our listeners think ... Email us at [email protected]

We welcome Jacob Gibbs from Sportsline (use the promo code HUDDLE on Sportsline.com!) to the show. Jacob had the 7th-most accurate Fantasy rankings last year, so he'll share some insights with us. He talks about Kenyan Drake (3:05), Robert Woods (8:25) and Amari Cooper (13:13) and why he's high on them ... Want to know who the two most elusive RBs were in 2019? We'll tell ya (18:18)! The answer may surprise you. We also discuss the Washington Football Team (25:23), why Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees could be a good QB pairing (27:40) and whether you should be able to bench a player on Monday night to avoid getting negative Fantasy points and losing a week (35:40) ... Handcuffs (39:40)! First of all, do we like to draft handcuffs? And who are the best ones and who are the underrated ones? ... Your Apple Podcast questions (53:40) and emails at [email protected]

Man, RBs are tough to rank! Six of our 8 "toughest to rank" players are RBs. Before we get into that, Ben weighs in on how the altered training camp and lack of preseason games will impact rookies (2:00). Will he be moving Jonathan Taylor down in his rankings? And while we're on the subject, Heath says that D'Andre Swift and Cam Akers are very difficult to rank (8:25) ... Let's move on to Jamey's players (19:40) as he says Raheem Mostert and A.J. Green are tough to rank. Does Mostert have a lot of upside? Will Joe Burrow hold Green back? ... Ben discusses Tylger Higbee (29:30) and Aaron Jones (35:25). We have a long discussion about Jones and why he's so tricky. And finally, we read Dave's players (48:15) even though he's not on the show! ... Your emails at [email protected]

Before we get to our mock draft, the guys talk about how the rookies will be affected by the absence of preseason games. Are we downgrading Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jonathan Taylor, J.K. Dobbins and the rest of the high profile rookies? ... Let's draft! 0.5 PPR, 3 WRs and a flex. Heath takes Derrick Henry over Dalvin Cook. Jamey takes David Johnson and Leonard Fournette with consecutive picks. Dave loads up on RBs and Adam is the first to take a QB ... Ben Schragger actually steals the show with the best team! We review the picks and the teams and discuss when to take handcuffs, backup QBs, backup TEs, rookie WRs and so much more ... Your emails at [email protected]

We talk about drafting upside often, but sometimes the floor plays make more sense. Do we have an overall floor vs. upside strategy in drafts (1:30)? Today we put those strategies to the test by comparing floor and upside picks at various spots in the draft. Also we've got a news item about T.Y. Hilton (6:00) ... Let the draft begin (10:00)! Dave has the third pick. Jamey picks fifth. Ben picks ninth and Adam has pick #12. We're drafting six rounds and filling out a starting lineup. During each round we'll say who the floor pick is who the upside pick is as we gradually build rosters. And while we draft we debate: Is Travis Kelce a floor pick or an upside pick? What about Patrick Mahomes? Which strategy lends itself to waiting on RB? ... We reveal our final rosters and pick which teams we prefer (51:00)! Ben somehow puts together a ridiculously awesome upside team with the ninth pick in the draft ... Your emails at [email protected]

If Cam Newton plays 16 games, then he'll be a Top 5 QB. If Blake Jarwin gets 80+ targets, then he'll be a Top 12 TE. These are just a few of the "if/then" scenarios we've got for you on today's show. First, Heath gives us his version of an Aizer stat (5:30) about the DET passing game. We debate how similar Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones are and why start percentage matters ... Some news and notes (12:00) and then Round 1 of "If ____ Happens, Then ____" (13:40). It's the QB edition as we touch on Newton, Tyrod Taylor and Jared Goff ... Round 2 of today's topic (23:30) has takes on Le'Veon Bell, Jarwin and Ronald Jones. Then we've got your answers to "If ____ Happens, Then ____" via Twitter (34:10) and Facebook (44:40) ...
