Top 10 BOLD Wild Card Fantasy Football Predictions & Props (Ep. 1222)

The boys are back together again for this edition of the FantasyPros Football Podcast! Our trio starts off by diving into their favorite final round selections. Are Bryan Edwards (3:25) and Hunter Renfrow (10:29) truly diamonds in the rough or are there just too many mouths to feed in Las Vegas for them to shine and is Boston Scott (32:48) someone who should be drafted in every league as a potential flex option? Next, they close out the show by doing a three-man best ball draft on FanDuel while commenting on their picks and strategy along the way (36:13). Stay tuned to hear who they ended up with!

Joe Pisapia, author of the best-selling Fantasy Black Book series, joins us as we each draft a team of our favorite breakout players for this season! Clyde Edwards-Helaire (3:52) is taken first overall because of his elite upside. Cam Akers (21:31) has plenty of potential, but is he worth taking as an RB2 despite the Rams' poor offensive line? David Montgomery (43:41) has a high floor due to his hefty workload, but what is his ceiling? Lastly, should Antonio Gibson (51:48) truthers be worried about Bryce Love (53:05)?

We perform our first-ever superflex mock draft on the show for you today alongside Matt Harmon of Yahoo Sports. Before getting into the thick of it, we discuss whether Josh Jacobs' (3:58) production as a receiver is dinged by Las Vegas signing Theo Riddick. From the moment we begin the draft (10:16) you can understand just how different the decision-making process is because of the option to start two QBs. With that being said, Josh Allen (20:33) may be a reliable second-round choice in two-QB leagues and the increased emphasis on signal-callers dropped Calvin Ridley's (28:02) price to the back of the fourth round. Also, how should fantasy managers feel about nabbing Cam Newton (32:35) as their QB2, and is Teddy Bridgewater (49:45) someone you can be comfortable taking late?

The guys round out the week by calling each other out on the player rankings they don't agree with. Can Tyrod Taylor (6:16) be a top-15 QB if he starts every game, how many targets can we expect for Christian Kirk (18:51), and does Allen Lazard (45:27) reserve consideration as a WR4? To conclude, Dr. David Chao joins the show and answers our most pressing injury questions heading into the season (51:45). When might Deebo Samuel (53:42) return and does Alex Smith (57:44) have a chance to win the starting QB job in Washington after recovering from his serious leg injury?

One of the most consistently accurate experts is back on the pod with us! Jake Ciely from The Athletic has returned and the entire show is dedicated to which players he is actively targeting and avoiding. Is the fantasy community wrong for undervaluing Chris Carson (6:38) and will Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines stunt Jonathan Taylor's (29:59) value more than people think? Does D.J. Chark's (36:40) worth in fantasy hinge primarily on touchdowns and is Will Fuller (51:35) more of a "bust" than a "boom"? Sponsors: OwnersBox - The new wave of fantasy sports is finally here.
