The Cyclical Nature of Talent vs. Scheme in the NFL and the NIL’s Potential Impact on the NFL: RSP Film and Theory with Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman

Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan.

There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most.

He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts.

Topics

* Is the NFL game beginning to favor smaller RBs and is this even new?

* Why the NFL game vacillates between system-dominant and talent-dominant eras.

* The fallacy of the label "system quarterback."

* Is Lamar Jackson more of a system quarterback than Brock Purdy? Why that's not a knock on either player.

* The NIL's potential impact on NFL player development.

* The hypocrisy of liking the NFL and hating college football but not caring about the contradiction.

And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2024 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95–currently available for $19.95 via early-bird discount that runs through December 21, 2023.  

Matt’s new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95

If you’re a fantasy GM interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2023 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  

Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.
