Matchup Previews: Week 6 + Injury Analysis w/ Dr. David Chao (Ep. 580)

We're running through our 15 riskiest draft picks for the upcoming season and joining us for the fun is Chris Meaney, head of content over at Fade the Noise. There was plenty of hype surrounding Clyde Edwards-Helaire, but has his draft price gone too high (6:07)? Despite finishing as the No. 2 running back in fantasy last season, is there any chance Aaron Jones returns to that value (15:06) and is Cooper Kupp the wrong Rams receiver to be targeting (36:05)? Listen in for all the picks and stick around for the listener mailbag questions including what league changes should be made to account for COVID-19 (1:01:26).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's plenty of sneaky upside draft picks this season after a 2019 campaign that saw numerous breakout players along with surprising rookie performances. Kareem Hunt may be the "backup", but the talent and upside should land him on your target list (6:24). As usual, there were rookie tight ends that did little in year one, but you won't want to forget about T.J. Hockenson (30:24) or Irv Smith Jr. (32:29) this draft season. A.J. Green, when healthy, is a stud, but don't discount Tyler Boyd given Green's recurring health issues (47:26).  Sponsors: Pristine Auction - Get the best deals in sports memorabilia including signed helmets and custom jerseys with guaranteed authenticity.

One of fantasy football's most recognizable personalities, Andy Behrens from Yahoo Sports, teams up with us to discuss 20 RBs and WRs who have incredible potential this season. Does D'Andre Swift (3:20) actually have a higher floor and a clearer role than much more expensive rookie RBs like Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jonathan Taylor and will Damien Williams (20:07) end up being a league-winner once again in 2020? Is Odell Beckham (41:13) primed to bounce back to top-five WR status and is this the year Will Fuller (45:40) finally stays healthy and ravages defenses across the league as Houston's top wideout?

Our terrific trio takes a look at which players outside the top 180 in half-PPR ADP have the most upside in redraft leagues. Jace Sternberger (4:53) appears to have an amazing opportunity in Green Bay and either Joshua Kelley (29:13) or Justin Jackson could carve out a significant role in the Chargers' backfield. Would Darrynton Evans (40:07) be an RB1 if Derrick Henry ever missed time and is Antonio Gibson (51:05) ready to gain plenty of work as both a runner and a receiver or will he get lost in Washington's crowded backfield?

2019 most accurate fantasy football draft expert, Sean Koerner of The Action Network, is with us while we share our thoughts on which athletes will rise up draft boards between now and the start of the season. Tyrod Taylor (10:29) may benefit from the impact COVID-19 might have on the NFL's 2020 rookie class, James Conner (23:53) seems primed to be a big-time producer as long as he's healthy, and James White (42:10) might still have a higher floor than people realize despite the capped upside. The show closes with a fun, fantasy football trivia game named Fantasy Odd Man Out (55:05).
