Half-PPR Mock Draft (Ep. 676)

We've got our good friend Joe Pisapia, author of the best-selling Fantasy Black Book series, with us as we shine light on the players you should consider staying away from in drafts this season. Is Alvin Kamara (3:59) truly worthy of a top-five selection despite the questions surrounding him and does Todd Gurley's (21:45) injury history make him undraftable at his current price? Will the 49ers fall flat this season and crush Raheem Mostert's (33:41) value as a result and does the Rams' scheme make it impossible for Cooper Kupp (55:46) to live up to his lofty ADP?

Pat Fitzmaurice, host of the Fitz on Fantasy Podcast, is with us today as we dig deep into the first round and examine each player that might be taken. Is Lamar Jackson (3:26) the first overall pick over Christian McCaffrey in superflex leagues and would it be smart to take Travis Kelce (37:45) at the turn? We then share some insight on our favorite players to target in the late rounds. Should Laviska Shenault (44:24) be taken late despite his injury issues and is Breshad Perriman (1:00:33) primed to seize his opportunity and take over as the Jets' top wideout?

Which players have the capacity to either crush your own squad or crush your competition? On today's show we examine which athletes have the widest range of outcomes. Does it make sense to draft Derrick Henry (3:45) and Josh Jacobs (5:09) in the first round and can Courtland Sutton (37:11) boom on sheer talent alone or will Denver's scheme and a plethora of competing receiving talent hold him back? Our second segment is devoted to analyzing which players are currently the most undervalued in dynasty drafts (44:19). Is it silly that Jordan Howard (47:28) is going outside the first 10 rounds in dynasty drafts and is Jonnu Smith (1:00:41) a league-winning hidden gem?

We're throwing caution to the wind and getting crazy! Our trio shares their top fantasy hot takes heading into the season and predicts the chances of those coming to fruition. Will Gardner Minshew (10:46) play well enough for the Jags to commit to him as their franchise signal-caller, what are the odds that Justin Jackson (23:22) out-touches Austin Ekeler, and is Aaron Rodgers (35:34) ready to bounce back and produce top-three QB numbers? The show concludes with us discussing our favorite underdog MVP picks (50:47) and our sleeper fantasy rookie of the year candidates (52:12).

On today's show, our trio gives you the lowdown on which five players they each expect to bounce back after a disappointing 2019 campaign. Will A.J. Green (8:15) return to being a pillar of consistency or will a significantly lower target share impair his value? Can David Montgomery (21:53) and the Bears' offense only go up after hitting rock-bottom last year, is Jordan Howard (40:46) primed to deliver a safe floor week-to-week, and was a low touchdown rate the only thing that prevented Aaron Rodgers (49:15) from being a top-five QB last season?
