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

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?

On today's show, we break down who we're picking in the first round of fantasy drafts and take a deep dive through the NFC West alongside our guest, Jared Smola from DraftSharks. Who should fantasy owners grab first overall (1:11), how early should you consider taking Travis Kelce (10:10), and is health the only thing standing between Dalvin Cook (21:03) and rock-solid RB1 production? Who is the first Rams WR (37:14) owners should select in drafts, and is there any hope that Russell Wilson (39:39) gets more pass attempts in 2019? Does any 49ers RB (48:11) have a chance to become a consistent fantasy producer, and how much upside does Kyler Murray's (53:50) rushing give him?

Kyle Yates, writer for The Fantasy Footballers, hops on with us as we take part in a half-PPR draft and explain the rationale behind our picks. Each expert selects a wide receiver to start the draft (2:57). Kyle is torn between James White (20:14) and Rashaad Penny, who we have an in-depth conversation about later in the draft (28:00). How concerned should owners who want Eric Ebron (24:22) be about Jack Doyle's return from injury? Stay tuned to find out who won the draft. The guys answer a couple listener mailbag questions at the end of the show, the second of which asks whether you should be worried about A.J. Green's (42:53) difficult schedule?
