Travis May of RotoViz is with us as we chat about our favorite comparisons and team fits for each top RB, WR, and QB in this year's NFL Draft. Where would we like to see Najee Harris (4:22) wind up and which current NFL star RB is Travis Etienne's (8:34) closest comparison? Why is it so difficult to compare Ja'Marr Chase (28:46) to anyone? What do we expect from Trevor Lawrence (55:31) as a rookie and which pro QB does Justin Fields' (1:00:00) game resemble the most? Our trio closes out the show with a fun segment named "Get to Know Me" (1:17:32)

We've got a packed show for you today! Our guys kick off the show by analyzing the Carson Wentz trade (3:47) before sharing our thoughts on last year's top breakout players and determining whether their production was legitimate (13:33). Were Antonio Gibson's (21:26) flashes of brilliance in the season's second half a fluke and will Justin Jefferson's (25:14) rookie production ultimately be hard to repeat in 2021? Are we buying or selling Justin Herbert's (34:41) stellar rookie season as the standard of what we should expect from him moving forward? Next, we dig into the listener mailbag and determine which second-year players have the highest floor and ceiling moving into Year 2 (39:51) before closing out the show with a fun round of Fantasy or Reality (54:24).

Joe Pisapia makes his debut as a member of the FantasyPros crew! Together, our trio breaks down their favorite takeaways from last season. Don't make the mistake of undervaluing Derrick Henry (7:34) in PPR leagues. Why would it make the most sense for Corey Davis (27:33) to stay in Tennessee this year? Is a big season in store for Chase Claypool (42:32), or do all the question marks surrounding the Steelers' offense dampen his outlook? Was the connection between Stefon Diggs (48:06) and Josh Allen the real deal? The show concludes with us tackling your listener mailbag questions (1:03:25)!

We're joined by Matthew Freedman of The Action Network to give the lowdown on how we think the quarterback and tight end position groups stack up heading into 2021. With the Super Bowl still fresh on our minds though and free agency coming up, what might happen with Chris Godwin (8:04) and Leonard Fournette (10:36)? How high should Clyde Edwards-Helaire be in the rankings (13:40)? With a fair amount of agreement, we're looking at a few QBs where the guys aren't on the same side like with Jalen Hurts (25:33).  At the tight end position, how high should Travis Kelce go (38:27) and what's Stafford's impact on Tyler Higbee (40:52)?

Our guys are back to share their 2021 WR rankings and give their thoughts on who they disagree on the most. However, we first dive into the huge Matthew Stafford/Jared Goff (7:18) deal and break down how it affects the fantasy landscape. Does Chase Claypool's (24:43) fantasy relevance hinge on whether JuJu Smith-Schuster returns to Pittsburgh next season? How wide is the gulf between CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup (42:34)? Will less volume push Odell Beckham (50:36) outside the top 20 WRs, or will a revamped Baker Mayfield keep him within that threshold? Finally, we close out the episode with our Super Bowl predictions (55:26)!

Our main trio is here to discuss their favorite fits for both Deshaun Watson (4:24) and Matthew Stafford (14:28). Next, the guys discuss which RBs they disagree on the most in their early rankings. Who is the better back to select between Saquon Barkley and Alvin Kamara (20:15)? Does J.K. Dobbins (37:18) have RB1 potential, or is touchdown regression looming for him? Lastly, we answer your listener mailbag questions (1:00:17) and give you some early tips on how to prepare for next season (1:05:42).

Eliot Crist of FTN joins us to discuss the best DFS plays ahead of the NFL Conference Championships! Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire (5:55) a viable cash game option if he plays, or will Darrel Williams (6:45) take away too much work from him? Should we take the discount and play Mike Evans (19:52) and is Josh Allen's (27:09) high floor and ceiling too good to ignore? Dawson Knox (32:17) is a good dart throw for two-TE lineups or those looking to spend down at the position.

Derek Brown of FTN has joined us as we dive into this weekend's playoff matchups to find both the top cash game (5:30) and GPP DFS plays (49:19). Does Stefon Diggs' (11:14) price make him a more compelling play on DraftKings than Tyreek Hill (10:12), or is Hill's higher floor too attractive to pass on? Does the cash game QB conversation end with Lamar Jackson (18:35) and Patrick Mahomes (20:41) or does Buffalo's near complete reliance on their passing game make Josh Allen (24:00) very difficult to fade? Michael Thomas (41:46) appears to be undervalued in his matchup against Tampa Bay's beatable secondary. Travis Kelce (27:35) is the main tight end worth playing, but who else should you go with if you choose to spend down at the position in cash games (46:49)? Gabriel Davis (52:29) has an exploitable CB matchup and can be a solid contrarian GPP play if the Bills pass early and often.

Derek Carty of ESPN is with us as we give the scoop on this weekend's best cash game (2:37) and GPP plays (38:28). Which QB is the top cash QB between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson (11:10) and does Diontae Johnson (26:19) present the most value at his price or does the slightly more expensive Michael Thomas (24:22) present even more upside? Is this the week to utilize a contrarian stack with the Bears (48:16), especially given the upside Mitch Trubisky (42:39) and Cole Kmet (44:01) present?
