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

Sports Illustrated's Michael Beller joins the show as we tell you which players' ADPs we expect to rise and fall before the season begins. However, we start the show by digging into the great Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers debate (2:27) and analyzing the aftermath of Ricky Seals-Jones' arrest (5:43). Chris Carson's emergence may hurt Rashaad Penny's ADP (16:22) and Jordan Reed's draft price has nowhere to go but up (29:28). Also, will the Saints' acquisition of Shane Vereen (35:02) have bigger implications than one might think, and are the Titans Dez Bryant's next destination (40:06)? We then close out the show by answering your Listener Mailbag questions (50:34). Sponsors: YouRulz.com - Take control and change your game today. Your team, your settings, your rules.

We are joined by numberFire's Jim Sannes to discuss how fantasy owners should navigate through the early rounds. Some of the topics we touch on are which players should be the first three picks (10:48), is Doug Baldwin worth reaching for (24:54), who should fantasy owners aim for after the top 20 (39:04), are Joe Mixon or Jerick McKinnon worth grabbing at the end of the second round (43:31), and is Kareem Hunt (58:48) a lock to be an RB1?

Pat Fitzmaurice from TheFootballGirl.com joins the show today to discuss some players whose ADPs are either too low or too high. Is Jordan Reed's (17:00) relatively high ADP actually warranted? Are both the public and the experts still too high on Julian Edelman (26:33) despite his already low ranking and draft cost? What should fantasy owners make of Jamaal Williams (42:55)? Can Rex Burkhead (46:17) have a consistent role in the oft-unpredictable Patriots' backfield? Is there a safer receiver in Detroit than Marvin Jones (54:24)? We offer insight into all these questions and tackle many others in today's episode. Sponsors: YouRulz.com - Take control and change your game today. Your team, your settings, your rules.

We discuss our favorite deep sleepers heading into the season, many of whom usually go undrafted. Ricky Seals-Jones was very good in limited playing time last year (8:40), Sam Bradford may have QB1 potential (17:34), and Mike Williams is far too overlooked in drafts (20:05). Plus, Jordan Wilkins has the skills to win the Colts' starting RB job (36:46), and Geronimo Allison (49:02) starts for an offense with "the greatest quarterback in the history of the world."

Today, we spend most of the show giving our top fantasy football hot takes, but first, we discuss who fantasy owners should expect to step up in Buffalo if LeSean McCoy is unable to play (06:34). Some of the scorching hot takes mentioned are Kareem Hunt finishing outside the top-20 RBs (11:57), Jordan Howard not leading the Bears' backfield in fantasy points (28:30), and Alex Smith producing more fantasy points than Jimmy Garoppolo (36:52). We later follow that up with in-depth analysis on the pros and cons of drafting Greg Olson (43:37) and Alex Collins (50:24). Sponsors: YouRulz.com - Take control and change your game today.

Sirius XM Fantasy Radio host and Her Fantasy Football co-founder, Brandon Marianne Lee, joins us to examine which players are most worth reaching for. Before we get to the meat of the show, the gang tackles your always interesting Listener Mailbag questions (13:05). Later on, we go in-depth on Royce Freeman (32:07), ponder why Michael Gallup is still largely undervalued (48:30), and explain why Sammy Watkins may be worth buying shares of again (53:42). Towards the end, we are mystified at how Geronimo Allison is still often going undrafted (1:00:41) and rationalize why Sony Michel should be taken much higher (1:11:26).

2017's top draft expert, Jake Ciely, joins the show to discuss which players have great boom or bust potential. We kick off our discussion on polarizing players by analyzing the expectations for Jimmy Garoppolo (8:22). Later, we break down the upside and risk of Pat Mahomes (13:51), if expectations should be tempered on Rashaad Penny (27:16), what to make of the Packers' RB situation in light of Aaron Jones' suspension (34:53), Allen Robinson's "boom" potential (44:07), if Evan Engram can reproduce his surprising rookie season (57:17), and whether O.J. Howard's production can finally match his talent (1:02:12).

The Fantasy Footballers' Jason Moore joins us to discuss which players should be avoided in drafts. Deshaun Watson (3:03), Derrick Henry (20:51), and Allen Robinson (44:37) are being taken too high, but we disagree on whether Leonard Fournette (29:46) should be avoided. We also give our insight on intriguing topics, like if Lamar Jackson is worth a flier (17:02), what Sony Michel's upside is (32:50), and whether DeAndre Hopkins is actually being overvalued (53:12).
