Is Christian McCaffrey Worth The Risk? | BOOM Or BUST Running Backs: Draft Or Fade? (Ep. 1595)

Our good friend, Joe Pisapia, author of the Fantasy Black Book series, has joined today to project which athletes will see their ADP rise. Phillip Lindsay (6:27) may be looking at even more touches in 2019, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (28:36) has the chance to excel if he begins the year as Green Bay's No. 2 WR, and it doesn't make sense for Jameis Winston (31:26) to be so underrated when his receivers are valued so highly. The guys later engage in some pre-game hijinx (41:24) before concluding the show with another fun Fantasy Feud (43:41) segment. Listen until the end to find out who wins!

Jared Smola from DraftSharks returns to discuss which players he ranks much differently compared to our Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). After that, we go divisional once again and analyze every important skill player in the AFC South. Where should Tyreek Hill (3:02) be selected now that he will not be suspended and what does that mean for Sammy Watkins (6:26) and Travis Kelce (8:29)? The guys later debate Tyrell Williams' (25:04) value in Oakland and explain why they don't expect elite numbers from Drew Brees (31:30) this season. Which Indy WR (47:06) will have the most fantasy relevance outside of T.Y. Hilton, can the Texans support three viable fantasy receivers (55:07), and is Leonard Fournette's (1:05:04) upside derived more from his volume or his talent?

Our dynamic duo spends today's show giving you the skinny on their favorite high-upside running backs and wideouts. We debate exactly how much upside Dalvin Cook (6:10) has and share our thoughts on when fantasy owners should start to panic regarding Melvin Gordon (19:53) and Ezekiel Elliott. Does Lamar Miller (32:38) have stud potential in the Texans' offense and can D.J. Moore (49:15) explode as Carolina's bona fide top WR?

The crew is joined today by Eliot Crist of The Quant Edge and together they run through their top post-hype sleepers and break down every single fantasy-relevant player in the AFC West. Is Ryan Fitzpatrick (4:36) worth selecting for people who are punting the position and does his former teammate, Jameis Winston (28:53), have the potential to be a stud this year? How much should Melvin Gordon's (42:32) holdout worry fantasy owners and how do we value Royce Freeman (50:22 & 53:20) and Phillip Lindsay heading into their sophomore campaigns?

On today's show, our duo runs through their top 10 deep sleepers and examines the upside of each player discussed. How many targets can James Washington (10:53) see this season, will Lamar Jackson (19:50) run for 1,000 yards in 2019, and is Geoff Swaim (38:24) a future tight end stud who is completely off the radar? What kind of workload will Justice Hill (44:38) handle and which Tampa Bay running back (54:53) has the best shot at excelling in Bruce Arians' offense?

Bill Enright of Fantasy Football Champs is with us as we break down our favorite undervalued players and examine every fantasy-relevant athlete in the AFC East. Is James Conner (4:08) deserving of a mid-first round pick and is Josh Gordon (27:25) a sleeping stud or a waste of a roster spot? How concerning are Sony Michel's (42:08) knee issues and can fantasy owners feel good about any Dolphins wideout (53:36)? Plus, is Josh Allen (1:01:12) completely untrustworthy or does he get much more flak than he deserves?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show, we break down each RB2-caliber back and examine every fantasy-relevant player in the NFC North. What is the likelihood of Damien Williams (8:23) being stuck in a timeshare and does Marlon Mack (16:22) have more upside and safety than Aaron Jones? The guys later explain why Mitch Trubisky (32:29) is a better QB than Cam Newton, shed light on why Aaron Rodgers (55:14) should be ranked as the QB1 and when he should be taken, and share the risk with selecting Kerryon Johnson (1:13:20).

Our dynamic duo begins the show by breaking down their top players to avoid in drafts this summer before they dig deep into NFC South fantasy analysis. Tyler Lockett's (11:21) efficiency in 2018 may not be sustainable, Le'Veon Bell's (16:17) offense and coach could hold him back, and Seattle's lack of pass attempts doesn't bode well for Russell Wilson (30:26). Would it be surprising if Alvin Kamara (40:23) finished as the RB1, is Cam Newton's (58:53) rushing upside eroding, and how high is Ronald Jones' (1:06:10) ceiling?
