Host Ian Hartitz breaks down the fantasy football value of DeAndre Hopkins and the rest of the Arizona Cardinals' passing game ahead of the 2021. Hopkins has been a top-five receiver by just about any metric you want to look at since entering the league. Not a stats guy? Just ask Jalen Ramsey, who dubbed Nuk as the single-toughest cover in the NFL. The rest of the Cardinals' passing game is a bit iffy, as Kliff Kingsbury apparently considers A.J. Green to be the outright No. 2 wide receiver. This complicates the potential of Christian Kirk, Rondale Moore and Andy Isabella, who each might struggle to see consistent targets if a rotation emerges. Ian finishes off the podcast with his specific rank for Hopkins and a note on which complementary receiver he prefers.

Host Ian Hartitz goes through the pecking order in every NFL backfield to determine which No. 2 running backs might provide the best handcuff value in the event the team's starter misses time in 2021. The first tier consists of the big-four handcuffs that most are familiar with before Ian moves on to the tier two group, which includes running backs part of a committee with room to truly flourish if disaster stikes. The third tier includes notes on the Rams, Steelers, Dolphins and more: backfields where Ian could see the backup getting a featured role, but it's not guaranteed. The podcast concludes with a look at which running back situations are either too unclear, or consist of one-dimensional talents, for fantasy investors to worry about.

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down the fantasy stock of Justin Fields ahead of 2021. You want Fields to start in Week 1, I want Fields to start in Week 1: it doesn't look like head coach Matt Nagy wants Fields to start in Week 1. This is a shame, because Fields fits the historical archtype of a successful rookie fantasy quarterback. The opposite is true of Dalton, who was mediocre with the Cowboys last season and hasn't offered anything resembling fantasy upside for more than a half decade. Ian finishes off the podcast by looking closely at the Bears schedule before giving his rank for Fields.

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down the fantasy stock of both Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen ahead of 2021. The Vikings didn't exactly achieve their goals in 2020 from a wins and losses perspective; just realize this offense was still as elite as they come. This was thanks in large part to Justin Jefferson emerging as a great replacement for Stefon Diggs. Jefferson was great as a rookie, but he was a great receiver period, regardless of year. Thielen also deserves plenty of credit for catching 14 (!!!) touchdowns last season, although father time is approaching. Ian concludes the podcast with Jefferson and Thielen's specific ranks.

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down the fantasy stock of Chase Edmonds and James Conner ahead of the 2021 season. Ian starts things off by pointing out the Cardinals have fielded a great rush offense despite Kliff Kingsbury's air raid attack not quite living up to expectations. The departure of Kenyan Drake means Edmonds should be the starting running back meow, but he'll need to improve his ability as a rusher in order to meet his ceiling. The largest issue for Edmonds might just be on the goal line, where Conner has actually thrived throughout his career. Ian concludes the podcast with his specific ranks for Edmonds and Conner as well as a take on somehow incorporating chess-like timers into fantasy football drafts.

Host Ian Hartitz welcomes on starting running back for the Washington Football Team Antonio Gibson for 10 questions mostly related to the upcoming 2021 season. Gibson talks about his conversion to being a full-time running back, noting that the Football Team didn't want to put too much on his plate in year one. Look out potential fantasy football investors: Gibson says he'll be used more as a true receiver in 2021, and perhaps more importantly his toe is feeling great. Conversation continues with what Gibson learned from playing with Adrian Peterson as well as who his favorite running back was growing up. Gibson names Alvin Kamara the first-team all-swag RB1 before discussing new teammates Ryan Fitzpatrick and Curtis Samuel. The podcast concludes with Gibson talking about Memphis and their next-big thing at running back.

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down some of his favorite sleeper receivers that have a chance for a ton of targets at an affordable price. Ian begins the pod by going through 2020's group of qualifers, noting that we see some commonalities among the group. He then applies these trends with current ADPs and PFF projections to list his 10 undervalued receivers. The list includes Brandin Cooks, Jaylen Waddle, Antonio Brown and much more.

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Ryan Tannehill's fantasy football outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Tannehill wasn't great in Miami; just realize his ascent from Texas A&M wide receiver to present day makes sense when considering some of the highs he flashed with the Dolphins. Regardless, Tannehill has been a top-10 quarterback by just about any efficiency metric since taking over for Marcus Mariota in 2019. Don't be surprised if Julio Jones helps take this offense to another level; the only pair of pass-catchers Ian would rank above AJB-Julio is Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Ian does warn viewers about the potential for the Titans offensive line to cause some problems, but utlimately sees the artist known as TanneThrill as a fantasy QB1.

Host Ian Hartitz battles his lost voice while breaking down David Montgomery's fantasy football value ahead of the 2021 season. The Bears' starting running back hasn't had the smoothest acsension to the top of the fantasy world, but functoined as nothing other than a stud back once gifted a true three-down role last year. The problems: Tarik Cohen returns, Damien Williams is now a member of the backfield, and Justin Field's dual-threat nature could reduce volume for everyone involved. Ian closes out the podcast with his specific ranking for Montgomery.

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Joe Burrow's fantasy football value ahead of the 2021 season. Burrow deserved to be hyped as a rookie following probably the single-greatest collegiate campaign ever, and he largely played well with the exceptions coming against some pretty great defenses. On the surface his numbers weren't great, but some deeper digging reveals pristine performance in some of PFF's more stable metrics. The good news for Burrow: the 2021 edition of the Bengals will boast a better wide receiver room and offensive line. Ian concludes the podcast with Burrow's fantasy ranking and gives his thoughts on maybe the barbeque Twitter guy having a point.
