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

Footballguys.com expert, Sigmund Bloom, joins Bobby and Tags in our 200th episode to scour through the wide receiver expert consensus rankings and highlight notable overvalued and undervalued wideouts. Before we dive headfirst into the wide receiver rankings talk, the trio does their best to decide if Jordan Reed (5:00) and Brandon Marshall (9:16) are worth scooping up in drafts. Tags and Sigmund later disagree on whether DeAndre Hopkins is overvalued (17:47), Tags later advises if Julio Jones falling to the second round in some drafts is a mistake (22:40), and everyone agrees that Josh Gordon is ranked too high (28:50). As we shift gears to our undervalued players, the guys vouch for DeVante Parker (43:27) and are surprised at the low rankings for Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison (50:52). Bobby then reiterates that Julio Jones should be a bonafide first round target (53:41), and Sterling Shepard's ranking just isn't high enough for Tags (58:54).

Today, Bobby and Tags spend this super-sized edition of the FantasyPros Football Podcast analyzing our running back Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) and shining some light on which rushers are either ranked too high or too low. Bobby shows his love for both Aaron Jones (55:00) and Ty Montgomery (57:18), but not before showing his concern about the rankings of Alex Collins (36:01), Browns rushers Duke Johnson and Carlos Hyde (38:18), and even Alvin Kamara (13:14). Tags instead justifies his decision to take Alvin Kamara over David Johnson (15:21), questions whether he should rank Ronald Barber II ahead of Kenyan Drake (22:40), goes on a pessimistic rant about Jay Ajayi's generous ranking (30:21), and shares his optimism for Derrius Guice (59:07) and Kenneth Dixon (1:05:32). The duo also displayed unwavering confidence in rookies Saquon Barkley (48:35) and Sony Michel (50:17).

With the NFL Draft far away in the rearview mirror and OTAs now underway, Bobby and Tags run through another dynasty mock draft to give you an idea of who will be available at every point in the draft, and what kinds of decisions you'll be forced to make. But first, the guys ponder one of life's great mysteries by sharing how long they are each willing to leave pizza out before eating it (6:12). We then shift gears to our mock draft, and Bobby and Tags discuss who they think should get taken first overall (13:27), and delve into how your first two picks should shape your strategy for the rest of the draft (21:52). Tags also gives his reasoning behind taking Antonio Brown with the fifth overall pick (12:58), and Le'Veon Bell slides to Bobby at seventh overall (14:49). Listen to their picks and their analysis of them, then find out how they fared at the end (47:59).

Welcome to our second rookie rankings show this offseason and in this episode, we've got special guest JJ Zachariason of numberFire joining us to chat about the running backs. There's not much to say about who's number one, but everyone else in the top 10 can be a bit more tricky. We're getting into the details on why JJ has Rashaad Penny as his #2 (8:45) whereas Tags has Sony Michel there (11:41). Ronald Jones (15:43) and Derrius Guice (19:11) round out the top 5, but we're not stopping there as three other players deserve to be mentioned in this tier as well (24:45). Of course, we've got deeper players (31:06) and sleepers (48:06) to close out the show.
