The Fantasy Football Friends dive into 2021 fantasy football draft strategies. One RB and chill? When to take quarterbacks and how to know if it's the right time to grab an elite tight end.

Plus, the Friends let a few things go ahead of draft season, forgiving Tua Tagovailoa for his rookie season struggles, Tyler Lockett for his inconsistencies and David Montgomery for the uninspiring first year and a half of his career. They also question who exactly is the WR1 in Pittsburgh -- Diontae Johnson or Chase Claypool -- and try to figure out how Darrell Henderson could possibly not be a three-down workhorse for the Rams.

The Fantasy Football Friends challenge one another's preseason rankings, leading to heated debates. 

Is Gilby too low on Jonathan Taylor and Justin Jefferson?
Is Jace too high on Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel? 
Is Zach too low on Melvin Gordon?
What about Jarvis Landry, Antonio Brown and Kenyan Drake?

Plus, thoughts on the Saints' wide receiver health concerns and why Rashod Bateman could be earning a significant role earlier than expected in Baltimore.

The Fantasy Football Friends debate which players near the peak of each position can ascend to the top of their position to become the No. 1 fantasy wide receiver, running back or tight end.

Any chance Aaron Rodgers is the QB1? Does Ryan Tannehill have a path?

Can Terry McLaurin be the WR1? How about Keenan Allen?
