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

We are joined by 2018's most accurate in-season expert, Matthew Hill from DataForce. Together, the trio examines which RBs may be ranked too high or too low on our half-PPR expert consensus rankings (ECR). The analysis is kicked off with diverging opinions on Damien Williams (8:08). Is the industry far too pessimistic on Leonard Fournette (16:38) and Ronald Jones (30:18), and is it a mistake to select Le'Veon Bell (45:51) within the top two rounds?

Mike Tagliere has taken the time to analyze every NFL team and break down which player on each squad is the biggest value in dynasty drafts relative to their ADP. Follow along as Bobby Sylvester tries to guess Tags' selection for each team. How many are you able to name, and can you beat Bobby's score? Who is the better bet for long-term production between D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel (10:07), and is Drew Brees (15:58) nothing more than a glorified system QB? Would any team pick up Tyreek Hill (31:46) if the Chiefs release him and is JuJu Smith-Schuster (48:11) primed to regress this season?

With the NFL Draft far in the rearview mirror, David Dorey, co-founder of The Huddle, joins the fun as we take an in-depth dive through our latest RB and WR rankings. Leonard Fournette (10:50) has crazy potential, but how far does his risk push down his value? Will the Titans continue to use Derrick Henry (15:02) as their bonafide workhorse, and why is James White (26:31) so undervalued? Plus, what should fantasy owners expect from Robert Foster (41:35) in 2019 and just how much upside does Marquise Brown (50:00) have this season?

Davis Mattek from Swolecast hops into a mock draft with us on today's show. Tags kicks off the festivities by selecting Ezekiel Elliott (4:02) second overall, Davis nabs David Johnson (4:21) with the 10th pick, and Bobby swiped Travis Kelce (4:47) at the 12th spot. When should Tyreek Hill (9:58) be selected, can Evan Engram (22:37) be trusted despite his lack of efficiency, and is Kareem Hunt (32:43) even worth taking a chance on? With another mock in the books, the trio compares their draft grades and rosters (48:15).

The guys execute a dynasty rookie draft and analyze their picks along the way. Bobby takes N'Keal Harry (2:22) first overall, while Tags selects Josh Jacobs (2:59) second overall. Is the Rams' high selection of Darrell Henderson (13:39) an indication of how they feel about Todd Gurley's health, and how much long-term value does Ryquell Armstead (30:01) have as Leonard Fournette's backup? Listen until the end to find out who each of them selected!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our duo has returned to provide their immediate insight on the NFL Draft. We break down each skill position and analyze the dynasty viability of the most fantasy-relevant rookies. Josh Jacobs (6:13 and 9:22) should receive more volume than any other rookie RB and the Bears appear to have big plans for David Montgomery (14:35). Is N'Keal Harry (23:41) primed to be the top dynasty rookie wideout and will Marquise Brown (30:47) benefit from what projects to be a shoddy Ravens defense? The Cardinals are motivated to give Kyler Murray (43:19) every opportunity to succeed, but will Josh Rosen (45:25) start over Ryan Fitzpatrick right away after being traded to Miami? Was drafting T.J. Hockenson (52:49) eighth overall a wise move for Detroit, and what are our biggest takeaways from the draft outside of the skill position players (57:55)?
