It's Tiers Week! We'll kick it off with quarterbacks in 6 point per passing TD leagues after we talk about why tiers matter (1:30) and how to best use them. And we have news and notes (6:45) before we jump into Tier 1 (15:25) with the four elite quarterbacks. Why does Lamar Jackson belong in this group when he hasn't shown that type of upside since 2019? Also, why is Josh Allen still QB1 in average draft position? ... Tier 2 (22:48) features Anthony Richardson for Jamey but not for Heath. Who else is in Tier 2? And Tier 3 (32:30) has Kyler Murray, Jordan Love and Jayden Daniels. You could make a case for Kyler as the best QB value in drafts. What separates Love from the QBs in the next tier? ... Let's move on to Tier 4 (40:40), Tier 5 (48:25) and Tier 6 (51:40). We've got great starting options in Tier 4 including Brock Purdy and Caleb Williams. Tier 5 features Justin Herbert among others while Tier 6 is mostly a Superflex conversation ... Email us at [email protected]

We welcome Rich Hribar of SharpFootballAnalysis.com to talk about which metrics matter and who some of his favorite players are in 2024. First, a couple of news items (3:30) about the Chargers offense and the Dolphins running backs ... Which metrics matter when evaluating a player (7:50)? Rich takes us through his basic process before we get into the real advanced stuff. Rich likes young players, so how does he feel about Travis Kelce (10:40)? And then we spend a lot of time talking about wide receiver metrics (14:30), which NFL teams could produce the best Fantasy options, what to expect from the Saints offense (19:50) and if there is a way to predict TDs (23:30) ... Who is WR9 in the rankings (25:45)? What about the guys just after that? Is it Marvin Harrison Jr.? Should Drake London be in this discussion? Also, let's project the 49ers (35:40) and Texans (44:40) offenses and talk about how mobile QBs sometimes make their teammates worse for Fantasy purposes (49:45) ... Email us at [email protected]

We're at WR36-42 in the consensus PPR rankings and we've got some fascinating players to discuss including two old guys who are still very good football players and a veteran on what was the worst offense in the NFL in 2023. Is this the start of a new tier at wide receiver (4:10)? Is there a big difference between these guys and the ones we talked about on yesterday's show? ... Quick news and notes (10:40) and then we give our outlooks for Diontae Johnson (14:00), Ladd McConkey (18:30) and Rashee Rice (25:10). Why does Heath think McConkey has more big play potential than Johnson? How high would Rice be ranked if he weren't facing a possible suspension? ... We finish with Christian Watson and Jordan Addison (31:15) followed by Keenan Allen and DeAndre Hopkins (39:50). Where is the upside in this group? Are we at all concerned about age for Allen and Hopkins? ... Email us at [email protected]

Each year we get about four wide receivers drafted in Rounds 7-9 who end up as Top 24 players at the position. In some cases, we get studs like Mike Evans in 2023. So who will it be this season? Before we get into that topic, we'll go through some news and notes (3:05) and give you stats on Calvin Ridley (7:45), Chris Olave and Stefon Diggs (9:50) ... Quick questions about six WRs (14:30): Chris Godwin, Zay Flowers, Terry McLaurin, Malik Nabers, Jayden Reed and Marquise Brown. Then we talk pros, cons and Fantasy outlooks for Godwin (16:00), Flowers (22:40) and McLaurin (32:00) ... Moving on to Reed (37:50), Brown (44:25) and Nabers (52:50). Is Brown the best Chiefs WR? Can Reed get on the field enough? Is Nabers talented enough to overcome his quarterback play? ...

Jamey and Dan give their thoughts on WRs #25-29 in the consensus PPR rankings: Christian Kirk, Calvin RIdley, Tank Dell, Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs. We start with one stat about each of these guys (4:00). Are Diggs or Ridley still capable of greatness? Why isn't Cooper going even higher in drafts? ... Ranking these five wide receivers (24:00), most upside in the group (30:50), highest floor (33:55) and most downside (38:10). Kirk is super safe but is there potential for more touchdowns? Can Dell or Diggs be a Top 12 WR without an injury to a teammate? ... Today is the start of the Scott Fish Bowl! We talk about the unique rules (46:00) and the kick returners and punt returners that could make a difference if your league counts those stats ... Email us at [email protected]

You need to know which wide receivers to draft when you're on the clock in Rounds 4-6. We're going to help you by taking a long look at WRs 20-29 in our PPR consensus rankings. Today, we'll mostly focus on the first five of this group, but we'll start by comparing this group of 10 WRs (2:15) to the previous 10 who are taken in Rounds 2-3 and questioning the upside of this group (6:00) ... Who are our favorites in this group (16:00)? There is some love for D.J. Moore and Tee Higgins, but it's not necessarily shared by all of us. Speaking of Higgins, let's start with him (17:05)! There is a lot to say about Higgins who is the King of the Aizer Stats! Next up we talk about Moore (27:05) and why it's so hard to know what to expect from him ... We spend time on George Pickens (31:10), DK Metcalf (42:00) and DeVonta Smith (49:15). Pickens has a great opportunity ahead of him, while Metcalf and Smith might need an injury to a teammate to really outperform their ADP ... Email us at [email protected]

It helps to draft players on great offenses, duh! How much does quality of offense matter to Dave and Heath when they draft (1:25)? We also randomly give you an interesting stat about DeVonta Smith (8:00) to get you pumped for our next episode ... A news item on Kyren Williams (11:55) and then we reveal Heath's top five projected offenses for 2024 (13:15)! The Chargers are a bit of a surprise (and Heath may lower them) but Heath makes the case for some unexpected offense in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, what do we expect from the Cowboys (21:45) after they led the NFL in scoring in 2024? ... Dave reveals his favorite offenses for 2024 (24:00). We talk about the Texans, Lions, Eagles and many more plus some dark horses (30:30). And then we transition to volume and discuss which teams could run the most plays (37:50). This could be a very important factor when it comes to Fantasy points. Keep an eye on what happens in Seattle and Chicago ... Your emails at [email protected]
