Will Marvin Harrison Jr. Take The Leap In Year Two? | Fantasy Football Draft Court Debates (Ep. 1617)

Derek Brown of FTN has joined us as we dive into this weekend's playoff matchups to find both the top cash game (5:30) and GPP DFS plays (49:19). Does Stefon Diggs' (11:14) price make him a more compelling play on DraftKings than Tyreek Hill (10:12), or is Hill's higher floor too attractive to pass on? Does the cash game QB conversation end with Lamar Jackson (18:35) and Patrick Mahomes (20:41) or does Buffalo's near complete reliance on their passing game make Josh Allen (24:00) very difficult to fade? Michael Thomas (41:46) appears to be undervalued in his matchup against Tampa Bay's beatable secondary. Travis Kelce (27:35) is the main tight end worth playing, but who else should you go with if you choose to spend down at the position in cash games (46:49)? Gabriel Davis (52:29) has an exploitable CB matchup and can be a solid contrarian GPP play if the Bills pass early and often.

Derek Carty of ESPN is with us as we give the scoop on this weekend's best cash game (2:37) and GPP plays (38:28). Which QB is the top cash QB between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson (11:10) and does Diontae Johnson (26:19) present the most value at his price or does the slightly more expensive Michael Thomas (24:22) present even more upside? Is this the week to utilize a contrarian stack with the Bears (48:16), especially given the upside Mitch Trubisky (42:39) and Cole Kmet (44:01) present?

Our trio is in the house to go over their best and worst preseason calls ahead of the 2020 season. Believing in Calvin Ridley's (6:35) ascension to WR1 status was the right call, but A.J. Green (16:44) was a big disappointment for one of our analysts given not only what he expected of Green, but also the air yards and targets the wideout accrued early in the season. Drafting Corey Davis (30:26) late paid off for those who listened to Tags, but what did we get so wrong about Keenan Allen and Stefon Diggs (35:53)? What lessons were learned after missing on Justin Jefferson (41:41) and why were we all too high on Henry Ruggs (43:38)? Was Yates ultimately right on Jonnu Smith (49:13) and T.Y. Hilton (49:45)? Why were we so off on Kenyan Drake (54:57) and which of us was highest on James Robinson (1:01:20)? The show concludes with a fun exercise where we make our predictions for each round of the NFL Playoffs (1:04:08)!

Jared Smola of DraftSharks has joined the show as we share our top DFS cash game (4:24) and GPP plays (42:51) for the final week of the NFL regular season. A.J. Brown (9:13) seems poised to expose Houston's suspect pass defense. Melvin Gordon (23:03) should produce as a workhorse against a weak defense in what should be a high-scoring affair, but will Drew Lock (37:49) try and take the reigns to prove he's worth a starting job next year? Lastly, what does Dalvin Cook's (50:15) absence this week mean for Mike Boone and Kirk Cousins?

We're here to commemorate the 2020 season and recognize the players that helped us reach championship glory or left us licking our wounds. James Robinson (12:43) takes home two awards back-to-back after being a relative unknown who overcame all the odds to finish as the RB4. Aaron Rodgers (9:03 | 23:11) was a late-round QB who blazed a path to being the most valuable fantasy asset at the position and potentially the league's MVP. Even though he's still an effective fantasy signal-caller, is it time for Tom Brady (39:11) to hang 'em up? After an impressive year in both fantasy and reality where he again surpassed expectations, Aaron Jones' (47:52) gamble on himself should pay off. Who is the fantasy MVP (59:17) and which player do we think was the top waiver add in 2020 (1:02:32)? Timestamps: Jonnu Smith - 0:04:44 A.J.

Our duo shares their thoughts on this week's NFL action for the final time this season. Just how impressive was Justin Jefferson's (8:14) rookie campaign and how high are we ranking him for next year? What was the biggest contributing factor to Josh Jacobs' (19:39) disappointing season and how do we know feel about Jonathan Taylor's (30:55) long-term value? Lastly, are all three of Carolina's fantasy-relevant wideouts (48:27) primed to remain viable options throughout 2021, or will Christian McCaffrey's return and his heavy involvement in the passing game put a damper on that?

Joe Pisapia, host of the NFL DFS PreSnap Podcast, is back with us as we dissect our favorite cash game (2:28) and GPP plays (28:01)! Will Nick Chubb (6:17) feast on the Jets due to his high volume and a positive game script, or should fantasy managers proceed with some caution because of the Jets' decent run defense? Baker Mayfield (28:37) is a great DraftKings GPP option, but will he have a high enough floor to be viable in cash games? Russell Gage's (36:48 | 38:53) bevy of opportunity gives him plenty of upside as a potential contrarian GPP play, but does Kansas City's strong pass defense make him a little too risky? Lastly, the guys close the episode with their stack and lock of the week (47:04).
