Summer is officially here and that just means we're getting closer to the fantasy football season. If you haven't run a mock draft recently, we've got your back and you can see how our teams turn out as Bobby and Tags pick from the sixth and seventh slots in a 12-team, Half-PPR league. Saquon Barkley (12:09) and Mike Evans (14:41) are the first two picks for both guys, but things start looking different from there. Find out why we're high on a pair of rookies in Sony Michel (25:39) and Ronald Jones (32:09), why Latavius Murray is one of the best handcuffs (46:06), if Bilal Powell is finally going to be a workhorse (47:27), and will Terrelle Pryor surprise fantasy players (55:56).

We're back to break down the recent minicamps and Greg Smith from TwoQBs.com is joinings us to discuss potential fantasy impact. Is Tyrod Taylor primed to become Cleveland's de facto starting QB (4:05)? If so, then what might that mean for Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon (10:33)? With Andrew Luck throwing footballs once again (15:49), how high will his ADP climb (20:16), and how much upside will Eric Ebron have as a result (22:03)? We then spend the rest of the show answering some intriguing Listener Mailbag questions (27:58), like whether fantasy owners should be concerned about the Cardinals' offense (45:42), how early Lamar Miller should now be taken in drafts (55:50), and what our favorite two-quarterback combos are (1:03:09).

Justin Boone from theScore.com joins the gang as we discuss some potential breakout candidates this season. We start the show by pondering some intriguing questions, like where should Andrew Luck (3:14) and the Colts wideouts (7:34) be ranked now that Luck is throwing again, whether contract years actually matter for fantasy production (10:09), and what exactly qualifies as a "breakout" season (19:04)? The guys then switch gears and examine why specific players such as Pat Mahomes (22:49), Aaron Jones (34:14), Justin Jackson (41:49), and Kenny Stills (45:24), among many others, are primed to become valuable fantasy assets in 2018.

Pro Football Focus' Jeff Ratcliffe joins the show as we discuss which players are bound to shoot up draft boards before most drafts are underway. But first, we dissect some Patriots news as we project which wideout would get the most targets in Julian Edelman's absence (7:30), and then decipher whether there's any merit to the Rob Gronkowski rumors (16:19). Everyone agrees that fantasy owners are far too low on Jameis Winston and his receivers (24:01), and while Kerryon Johnson's ADP should climb as well, his upside is far from limitless (36:48). Plus, Geronimo Allison may be the biggest bargain in drafts right now (41:50), but is Josh Gordon really being undervalued, and how many targets can we expect him to receive (57:19)?

Michael Moore from Pro Football Focus and the Dynasty Slant podcast joins the gang as we embark to show you which tight ends experts are either overlooking or gazing upon too much, but first, Bobby makes a bold claim regarding his extreme distaste for coffee (0:40). Moving onto football, the guys wonder if fantasy owners should put any stock into training camp reports (7:14). Soon afterward, we discuss the Colts' tight end battle between Jack Doyle (10:44) and Eric Ebron (11:40) along with expectations for Andrew Luck (14:49). Tags isn't a fan of Evan Engram's current ranking (19:01), and Bobby has concerns about Trey Burton (22:18). The trio later gives very in-depth analysis on Cameron Brate (31:44) and breaks down Jordan Reed's value and risk (43:12). To conclude, Bobby thinks Kyle Rudolph is a safe option (51:36), but Tags questions that thought.   Sponsors:   PristineAuction.com - Get the best deals in sports memorabilia including signed helmets and custom jerseys with guaranteed authenticity.

FantasyPros' own expert, Jody Smith, teams up with Bobby and Tags to shine some light on which quarterbacks are ranked either too high or too low based on our expert consensus rankings. Everyone agrees that Deshaun Watson's (7:08) small sample size is undeserving of his generous ranking, and that same sentiment is expressed for Jimmy Garoppolo (16:43). Despite his track record, Tom Brady (21:59) is also someone Bobby and Tags figure will struggle to produce up to his ranking, however, the gang can't fully agree on whether Carson Wentz is overvalued (39:23). In contrast, Jameis Winston is unanimously considered to be heavily undervalued (46:04). Jody is all-in on Dak Prescott (53:43), and towards the end, he quickly rattles off three undervalued QBs who could pay off big for fantasy owners (1:03:14).
