Bold Predictions + Who's the Next Austin Ekeler? (Ep. 528)
The guys are joined by Joe Pisapia, author of the Fantasy Black Book series, to talk about their boldest fantasy predictions for the 2020 season. What are the odds that Kyler Murray (8:02) fails to produce QB1-caliber numbers, is Cam Newton (24:20) poised to bounce back and finish as a top-seven QB, and can the Bengals boast two 1,000-yard receivers (30:28)? We round out the show by guessing who this year's version of Austin Ekeler (52:35), Darren Waller (55:31), and DeVante Parker (59:23) could be.

The guys come together to share their biggest takeaways from Tags' "Boom, Bust, and Everything in Between" article series.

Rankings Cage Match: Tags vs. Yates vs. Dan (Ep. 526)
The guys go toe-to-toe against each other today! Throughout the course of the show, our analysts fight over the value of 10 players based on where they have them ranked. Will Odell Beckham Jr. (13:31) be held back by injury risk, a new scheme, and too much competition for targets, or is the elite WR primed to bounce back in his second year with Baker Mayfield? Does Will Fuller (21:05) have WR2 despite his injury risk or will Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb relegate him to third on Houston's WR totem pole? Is Emmanuel Sanders (45:59) a viable flex option with Drew Brees as his QB or will a lack of pass attempts nuke his value? Lastly, can David Montgomery's (55:57) high volume propel him into being a top-15 RB or is a finish like that more representative of his ceiling because of Chicago's poor offense?

Avoid These 13 Busts + Who's Most Likely to ___? (Ep. 525)
Matthew Freedman of The Action Network joins us as we chat about which players have the biggest bust potential. Josh Jacobs' (4:22) mediocre offense and lack of targets might make him someone to stay away from. The guys debate whether Allen Robinson (29:16) will be held back by offensive uncertainty or maintain a high-floor with increased efficiency if Nick Foles takes over at QB. Also, Austin Hooper (43:03) may be facing a huge decrease in volume. We end things on a fun note by reading your questions about who is most likely to be a second-half stud (52:58) and which RB is most likely to lead all backs in receptions outside of Christian McCaffrey (54:09), among a few others.

A fun PPR mock draft awaits! Our crew competes against each other to assemble the best roster while explaining their picks every step of the way.

Immediately afterward, the draft commences with Dan nabbing Michael Thomas at fourth overall (11:26). Can fantasy managers feel comfortable with Leonard Fournette (18:35) as their RB1, would it be ill-advised to select both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (37:12) on the same squad, and who is the better bet for production between Mecole Hardman and Henry Ruggs III (43:13)?

Wide Receiver Rankings & Tiers w/ Chris Raybon (Ep. 523)
We scour through the WR rankings with Chris Raybon from The Action Network and shine a light on which wideouts we're targeting and avoiding more so than the industry in each tier. Is Cooper Kupp (12:22) in line to reclaim his role as the Rams' top WR and will Tyreek Hill (25:05) deliver first-round value despite his inconsistency? Are the experts overvaluing Allen Robinson (34:12) and did Courtland Sutton (50:45) peak last year due to Denver's current abundance of receiving talent?

20 Mid-Round Value Picks w/ J.J. Zachariason (Ep. 522)
We share our insight on which mid-round picks present the most value alongside J.J. Zachariason of The Late-Round Podcast. Will Tyler Lockett (11:19) maintain his extreme efficiency from the first half of last season and was Raheem Mostert's (24:38) hot stretch in 2019 legitimate or is he just a TD-dependent, two-down back? Why is it typically unwise to draft quarterbacks in the middle rounds (36:17) and would it be smart to reach for Latavius Murray (51:49) in the ninth round?

Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire (5:27) now worth taking before Dalvin Cook and what kind of upside does Jonathan Taylor (19:57) have?
