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

We brought in Scott Fish, creator of the Scott Fish Bowl, to help us dissect how Adrian Peterson's (2:56) arrival affects Detroit's backfield and share his thoughts on which players fantasy managers should consider stashing. Are any of the Jaguars' RBs (12:11) outside of Chris Thompson worth holding, who is the better bet for fantasy value between Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman (35:37), and is Gardner Minshew (50:52) worthy of a spot on your bench? The show later concludes with us answering your listener mailbag questions! What is our process when deciding who to drop from our bench when working the waiver wire and (59:08) and what is the ideal bench structure (1:01:34)?

Sports Medical Analyst Dr. David Chao joins the show to break down the injuries to Alvin Kamara (3:22), Jalen Reagor (5:50), and Mike Williams (8:36). Our guys then cover Washington's release of Adrian Peterson (11:55) and how that impacts their backfield moving forward. The rest of the show is dedicated to our favorite draft tips (19:35). It may be smart to plan ahead and have multiple players queued up for your next pick (21:40) and you can maximize your team's value by drafting multiple late-round, high-upside TEs (40:35). Be extra cautious on players with injury concerns (48:36) and pair your stable QB with a high-upside signal-caller late (56:35). Sponsors: SuperDraft - The future of fantasy sports has arrived!

Justin Boone of theScore is on with us to give his take on the latest in the Alvin Kamara (4:03) and Joe Mixon contract situations before we dig deep into which players have moved up and down our rankings the most. Does the reward heavily outweigh the risk with Ronald Jones (23:35), should fantasy managers pay more attention to Marquez Valdes-Scantling (38:57), and will A.J. Green's (46:47) latest injury woes prevent him from seeing the field soon or are the Bengals just being cautious with him?

Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com joins the pod to share which players he likes much more or less than our expert consensus rankings and we also give our thoughts on Alvin Kamara's (6:14) contract-related absences from practice and whether he's worth taking fourth overall. Is Antonio Gibson (12:25) being undervalued or is he priced correctly, are we overlooking Jerry Jeudy (32:46) in drafts, and should Joe Burrow (47:56) be on fantasy benches in Week 1?

The guys begin the show by jumping right into the news of Leonard Fournette (00:35) getting released by the Jaguars and Jalen Reagor's (6:31) injury. Next, our trio competes in their final mock draft of 2020. Is there a big difference between Saquon Barkley and Ezekiel Elliott (12:32) at second overall and how does Yates selecting Lamar Jackson (20:31) in the third round affect his roster construction throughout the draft? Is Zack Moss (42:24) primed to carve out a big role in Buffalo's backfield or will a neck injury hold him back and what should fantasy managers make of all of Antonio Gibson's (46:10) positive buzz?

Former NFL head coach Jeff Fisher jumps on with us to shed some light into a variety of topics that could affect how fantasy managers evaluate players. With no preseason, how hard is it for players to come into a new system and make an impact in year one (4:25), and is there any reason to worry about the chemistry between QBs and WRs who haven't played together (8:37)? What is the biggest thing fantasy analysts miss when projecting games (15:38) and does the QB or the coach have more input into who gets targets (17:16)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kickoff is in less than two weeks! Dominate your draft with some in-depth analysis from us and our guest, Ian Hartitz of Pro Football Focus, on which middle and late-round players have the upside to win you a title! At the top, we touch on Joe Mixon (2:59) missing practice again and whether fantasy managers should be concerned. Joe Burrow (6:41) has a good chance to be the seventh rookie passer since 2010 to post QB1 numbers and Damien Harris (18:57) is a late-round rusher who has a shot at seeing 15+ touches a week. Does J.K. Dobbins (34:17) have elite RB1 potential if anything ever happens to Mark Ingram and is a WR2-caliber season in the cards for Diontae Johnson (46:12) now that Ben Roethlisberger is back?
