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

With each passing day, we get closer to the NFL draft and that also means dynasty leaguers are getting closer to their big days as well. We’re continuing our positional coverage of the incoming rookies and we’re tackling the WRs (4:20) & TEs (40:46). Joining us to give his thoughts is Travis May of Rotoviz. Should Hakeem Butler be in the top tier (4:50) and who would the guys take as the top WR (9:31)? Does Parris Campbell deserve more attention (19:50) and is Kelvin Harmon in his own tier (22:29)? Who are the deeper WRs to pay attention to (31:51) and which tight ends make the most impact for fantasy right away (40:59)? Listen in to see if your question made it on the show as we wrap up with our listener mailbag (49:31).

With the NFL Draft less than a month away, we give an in-depth breakdown of the incoming RB and QB draft class. However, our duo kicks off this episode with their thoughts on the Jordan Howard trade (4:40) and the return of the listener mailbag (10:24). Is Miles Sanders (28:20) the best bet of all RBs to produce if he gets the chance to play, how much upside does Bryce Love (42:43) have, and are pundits overrating Trayveon Williams (49:17)? Will Kyler Murray (50:48) likely be the first overall pick in two-QB dynasty rookie drafts and should the Dolphins take Drew Lock (1:01:18) if he falls to them?

The NFL Draft is in under a month, but we're taking the opportunity now to start getting all dynasty players prepared as we take you through our thoughts while running two separate mock drafts. Before we jump into the fun, Jared Cook signed with the Saints (1:14) and Rob Gronkowski decided to retire (2:20). Find out how that impacts fantasy owners and what the tight end landscape now looks like. Should you go best player available or fill a position of need early on (14:23)? Does it make sense to draft a QB early (22:47)? Don't forget about Marqise Lee in Jacksonville (37:57). The Packers may still start Jamaal Williams (39:18), and David Moore is an upside bench stash (45:54).

With the NFL Draft drawing ever closer, we simply couldn't resist the opportunity to do one ourselves. Paul Perdichizzi, co-host of the Saturday2Sunday Football Podcast, gets in on the action with us. Each of these guys is acting as the GM for these teams, making trades throughout the draft, and selecting the guys they feel are the best fit for each team. Who does Arizona take first overall (4:03)? Plus, the Giants (9:28) and Dolphins (11:10) move up to take their quarterbacks of the future, and Aaron Rodgers gets a new toy (55:58) late in the first round.

The guys examine both fantasy and reality's biggest winners and losers from the NFL free agency period. Playing in the Saints' offense is a huge boon to Latavius Murray's (7:14) value, and Damien Williams' (20:10) success late last season might have had more to do with the Chiefs' system than his talent. Baker Mayfield's (30:16) dynasty stock gets a big boost thanks to Odell Beckham Jr.'s arrival in Cleveland, but what does DeVante Parker's (46:22) value look like with Ryan Fitzpatrick in Miami, and what exactly is the Giants' (56:52) vision for the future?

Our dynamic duo conducts a mock draft for us now that the biggest fantasy-relevant free agents have signed with their new teams. However, we first break down Golden Tate's (2:37) new landing spot and how it affects his value. Tags then kicks off the half-PPR, 12-team draft by selecting Julio Jones 10th overall (4:16) and Bobby nabs Odell Beckham with the 12th pick (5:37). Does O.J. Howard (12:21) have more dynasty value than Travis Kelce, should redraft players fully avoid Kareem Hunt (22:24), and do the Dolphins intend to trade for Josh Rosen (27:47)? Listen until the end to find out how well both of our guys did.

The guys come together for a super-sized show to share their initial thoughts on every recent fantasy relevant transaction that has taken place. To lead off the show, we break down the Odell Beckham trade (4:04) and how it shakes up the fantasy landscape for both the Giants and Browns. How good of a fit are the Jets for Le'Veon Bell (17:18), will Nick Foles (29:50) succeed in Jacksonville, and what can we expect from John Brown (34:49) in Buffalo? Does DeSean Jackson's return to Philly help or hurt Alshon Jeffery (44:38) and can Damien Williams (58:19) hold off Carlos Hyde (1:00:31) from stealing away the Chiefs' starting RB gig? Lastly, has Alvin Kamara's (1:08:16) value changed much with Latavius Murray (1:06:17) now replacing Mark Ingram in New Orleans?
