Week 1 Fantasy Football Takeaways: Fact or Fiction + Waiver Wire & Trade Advice | Out of Bounds (Ep. 1697)

Sirius XM Fantasy Radio host and Her Fantasy Football co-founder, Brandon Marianne Lee, joins us to examine which players are most worth reaching for. Before we get to the meat of the show, the gang tackles your always interesting Listener Mailbag questions (13:05). Later on, we go in-depth on Royce Freeman (32:07), ponder why Michael Gallup is still largely undervalued (48:30), and explain why Sammy Watkins may be worth buying shares of again (53:42). Towards the end, we are mystified at how Geronimo Allison is still often going undrafted (1:00:41) and rationalize why Sony Michel should be taken much higher (1:11:26).

The Fantasy Footballers' Jason Moore joins us to discuss which players should be avoided in drafts. Deshaun Watson (3:03), Derrick Henry (20:51), and Allen Robinson (44:37) are being taken too high, but we disagree on whether Leonard Fournette (29:46) should be avoided. We also give our insight on intriguing topics, like if Lamar Jackson is worth a flier (17:02), what Sony Michel's upside is (32:50), and whether DeAndre Hopkins is actually being overvalued (53:12).

If you haven't run a mock draft recently, we've got your back and you can see how our teams turn out as Bobby and Tags pick from the sixth and seventh slots in a 12-team, Half-PPR league. Saquon Barkley (12:09) and Mike Evans (14:41) are the first two picks for both guys, but things start looking different from there. Find out why we're high on a pair of rookies in Sony Michel (25:39) and Ronald Jones (32:09), why Latavius Murray is one of the best handcuffs (46:06), if Bilal Powell is finally going to be a workhorse (47:27), and will Terrelle Pryor surprise fantasy players (55:56).

We're back to break down the recent minicamps and Greg Smith from TwoQBs.com is joinings us to discuss potential fantasy impact. Is Tyrod Taylor primed to become Cleveland's de facto starting QB (4:05)? If so, then what might that mean for Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon (10:33)? With Andrew Luck throwing footballs once again (15:49), how high will his ADP climb (20:16), and how much upside will Eric Ebron have as a result (22:03)? We then spend the rest of the show answering some intriguing Listener Mailbag questions (27:58), like whether fantasy owners should be concerned about the Cardinals' offense (45:42), how early Lamar Miller should now be taken in drafts (55:50), and what our favorite two-quarterback combos are (1:03:09).

Justin Boone from theScore.com joins the gang as we discuss some potential breakout candidates this season. We start the show by pondering some intriguing questions, like where should Andrew Luck (3:14) and the Colts wideouts (7:34) be ranked now that Luck is throwing again, whether contract years actually matter for fantasy production (10:09), and what exactly qualifies as a "breakout" season (19:04)? The guys then switch gears and examine why specific players such as Pat Mahomes (22:49), Aaron Jones (34:14), Justin Jackson (41:49), and Kenny Stills (45:24), among many others, are primed to become valuable fantasy assets in 2018.
