Matchup Previews: Week 6 + Injury Analysis w/ Dr. David Chao (Ep. 580)

Kyle Yates, writer for The Fantasy Footballers, hops on with us as we take part in a half-PPR draft and explain the rationale behind our picks. Each expert selects a wide receiver to start the draft (2:57). Kyle is torn between James White (20:14) and Rashaad Penny, who we have an in-depth conversation about later in the draft (28:00). How concerned should owners who want Eric Ebron (24:22) be about Jack Doyle's return from injury? Stay tuned to find out who won the draft. The guys answer a couple listener mailbag questions at the end of the show, the second of which asks whether you should be worried about A.J. Green's (42:53) difficult schedule?

Justin Boone, lead fantasy analyst for theScore, hops on with us as we take a look at 2019's riskiest players and decide who is slated to boom or bust. Where should Eric Ebron (13:29) get taken in drafts this preseason and are people overlooking Hunter Henry's (19:26) upside? Was Derrick Henry's (33:17) late-season burst misleading, and does Kyler Murray (1:02:14) have a higher chance of producing elite QB1 numbers or being a total dud?

Is Michael Gallup being overlooked as the No. 2 in Dallas (6:40), who else is valuable in the Philly receiving corps (15:46), should you draft Jordan Howard/Miles Sanders (26:29), what about Adrian Peterson/Derrius Guice (31:32)?

Brandon Funston of The Athletic joins us for some fun and we're mock drafting with Half-PPR settings to give you a look at our thought process when making picks. With the 2nd, 4th, and 5th picks, all three guys start off with running backs (6:14). Brandon gets his guy in the second round with Josh Jacobs (13:30) and we talk more about why he's the one guy he's going after in all drafts (55:09). Bobby goes QB & TE with back-to-back picks in the 5th/6th, but is that a sound strategy (25:58)? Will there be enough targets in Houston for all three WRs (33:04)? Devin Singletary could be the guy and LeSean McCoy could be cut (38:50), while Tags does the Vance dance with the situation in Pittsburgh (39:31).

Where will David Johnson finish among fantasy RBs (1:41), would you rather have Fournette or Bell for a full 16 games (6:24), why are people sleeping on A.J. Green, and is Aaron Rodgers a must-pick at his current ADP (47:33)?

The guys and our guest, Pat Fitzmaurice of TheFootballGirl.com, break down the players at each position they think have the best odds of breaking out in 2019. Justin Jackson (9:35) and Darrell Henderson (15:14) are potentially an injury away from high-level production, but one of them may be overhyped. Has Phillip Dorsett (46:19) finally developed into a viable fantasy receiver, would it be unwise to sleep on Jimmy Garoppolo's (56:31) upside, and does Vance McDonald (1:07:24) possess the potential to be a top-five TE?

Our duo is joined today by Rich Dotson, founder of DynastyNerds.com, and together they analyze the top dynasty values at each position. We start with a round of "Who Am I?" (1:06) and dive deep into that player's upside. The guys later debate on who has more dynasty value between Jameis Winston (10:09) and Matt Ryan (16:41) and then compare the long-term stock of James White (28:23) and Chris Carson (31:38). Is Darrell Henderson (42:16) worth a top-four pick in dynasty drafts, and is Jack Doyle's (46:04) price too low or just right? Does Marquise Brown (54:47) hold DeSean Jackson-like boom, or is he a dud in the making?
