Tune in to our latest episode where we delve into the intriguing career of the underdog NFL player, Tank Dell. Despite his smaller stature (5'8", 165lbs), Dell's college domination and impressive performance statistics set him apart. With an outstanding college target share in the 92nd percentile and a breakout age of just 20, he certainly deserves attention. We discuss his career trajectory as the sixth pick in the third round, handpicked by C.J. Stroud. Learn about Dell's intensive training with NFL stars like Jaylen Waddle and his potential role in the Houston Texans' new dynamic with fellow players Robert Woods, Nico Collins, John Mackey, and Xavier Hutchinson. We consider challenges, including his size and the Texans' tricky schedule. We also discuss potential comparatives and expectations for this unexpected hero, including the possible impact of the Stroud-Dell connection.

Our hosts dissect the latest player projections, team changes, and potential draft picks that will impact your fantasy strategy.

They also share insights on the new players coming through such as D.J. Moore, Chris Godwin, Christian Watson, and Jordan Addison.
The conversation then turns to Rashod Bateman's trajectory and the challenges he has faced in his career so far, including his health and injury record, and the hype that has surrounded him. The hosts also explore the prospects of the Ravens, with Bateman going into his third season, and the challenges they face in a potentially increased passing offense. Furthermore, they analyze Bateman's competition with other big names like Odell Beckham and the draft pick Zay Flowers.
There's an in-depth analysis of the possible transformation of the Ravens' offense, health concerns around Lamar Jackson, and the overall passing volume.

June 30, 2023 Saturday Air Raid - Running backs we’re high on • Stevenson top 10 finish • Etienne top 5 upside
Join John (@johnloydroberts), Brad (@bradbolt1), and Dan (@beard_82), as they offer an engaging discussion on the potential impact of specific running backs in the coming football season, with a particular emphasis on Miles Sanders of the Carolina Panthers. Brad shares his conviction that Sanders is a player worth watching, attributing his confidence to a detailed analysis of Sanders' past performance statistics, the Panthers' strong offensive line, and the player's positive reunion with Duce Staley, his former running backs coach. He also draws comparisons to other running backs, including Cordarelle Patterson, Isaiah Pacheco, Josh Jacobs, Nick Chubb, and Chuba Hubbard, to further reinforce his argument. They conclude the conversation by assessing Sanders' place in the broader scope of fantasy football, pointing out his potential as a crucial addition to teams in upcoming drafts.
We delve deep into the potential of various RBs for the coming football season. Our focus is on Rhamondre Stevenson, who despite ranking 12th overall, has the potential to make it to the top 10 due to limited competition in his depth chart and his impressive receiving skills. We dissect his performance and future prospects, including his potential for scoring double-digit touchdowns this season.
We also speculate on the top 10 players that Stevenson could potentially replace, considering their current performance and potential. We make a case for Kenneth Walker being the one who might drop out. We continue with an interesting name game where we compare Rhamondre Stevenson with other players like Josh Jacobs, Austin Ekeler, Nick Chubb, and Damian Pierce among others.
A discussion on Austin Ekeler's possible trade stirs the pot, and we also consider the future prospects of James Cook and Travis Etienne. We analyse how various team strategies, particularly the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills, influence the performances of their running backs. The constant change of leading rushers in these teams creates biases and hampers the prediction of future potential. Tune in for our insights and predictions in this episode packed with in-depth football analysis.
An in-depth discussion about the potential of running back Travis Etienne in the fantasy football world, beginning with a critique of Etienne's first year as a rookie, they point out that despite a slow start marked by less-than-ideal fantasy points, Etienne's performance significantly improved when his competitor, James Robinson, was traded. The hosts underline the direct correlation between Robinson's decrease in rushing attempts and the increase in Etienne's performance.
Etienne's stats from the previous season, specifically his 1,120 rushing yards and 316 receiving yards, are examined, asserting his potential as a promising player. The hosts argue that despite concerns regarding Etienne's reception skills and the upcoming player Tank Bigsby, Etienne remains a solid choice due to his established rapport with the team's franchise player, Trevor Lawrence, and the potential to improve with more exposure to the offense.
There's also a discussion about the Jacksonville Jaguars' transformation after week eight of the previous season, the impact on Etienne's gameplay, and the team's expected progress under the leadership of Doug Peterson and Trevor Lawrence.
The episode ends with a detailed review of Etienne's past game performances, which support the argument that despite initial struggles, Etienne has considerable potential as a post-hype sleeper in the coming season. The hosts dispute the criticism surrounding his pass-catching abilities and high-value touches, defending him with evidence from his college career and public betting patterns.
Overall, this episode offers an exhaustive analysis of Travis Etienne's prospective impact in the realm of fantasy football, packed with compelling arguments, critical insights, and astute statistics from previous seasons.

June 23, 2023 Saturday Air Raid - Mastering Dynasty League Strategies
Join John (@johnloydroberts), Brad (@bradbolt1) and Dan (@beard_82) in the first
episode of "Saturday Air Raid," hosts introduce their unique
approach, focusing on the juncture of college football and the NFL.
Specifically, they aim to analyze juniors and seniors moving from college
football to the NFL, as well as players on rookie contracts. With this focus,
they offer critical insights into the intricate world of the dynastic fantasy
leagues and real NFL, with the primary objective of assisting teams in their
rebuilding phases. The hosts explore the complexities of managing player
contracts, using Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow as case studies to inform teams
languishing at the bottom of their leagues on making strategic decisions for a
better future.
In
the episode's central segment, the hosts undertake a comprehensive analysis of
potential draft picks for Dynasty leagues. They compare the benefits and
drawbacks of players like Cooper Kupp and Drake London, while paying attention
to team dynamics, quarterbacks, and playing schemes. The hosts contrast Cooper
Kupp's established rapport with Matthew Stafford against Drake London's
potential, hindered by a run-heavy scheme and a yet-to-be-proven quarterback,
Desmond Ridder. Other players, such as Garrett Wilson, are also discussed
in-depth, illuminating the impact a player's quarterback and team's offensive
strategy can have on their fantasy value.
This episode underscores the hosts' goal to
provide listeners with intricate, multifaceted evaluations of players and strategic
advice on managing fantasy football teams. Emphasizing the need to balance
considerations of current performance and future potential in player selection
for Dynasty leagues, they also highlight the necessity for self-awareness among
teams in acknowledging their competitive standing and strategizing accordingly.
This inaugural episode therefore sets a rich, analytic tone for future
discussions, promising viewers in-depth, data-driven analysis of player choices
in dynasty leagues
