Mistakes we made in 2021, Part 3: Zeke, McLaurin & rookie RBs

Apple Podcasts • Spotify • Stitcher • Google Podcasts

Liz Loza and Frank Schwab go back through the mistakes they made in the 2021 fantasy football season to see if they can learn from them and apply those lessons to the 2022 season.

Liz reflects on her inability to move on from players quickly, and the two of them discuss when is the right time to move on from a player, before Frank talks about reading the room for RBs and TEs before drafting them to determine if they can actually hit their ceiling and what their true value might be.

J.J. McCarthy second overall? + QB class red flags, Dak Prescott on the open market | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to go behind the scenes on the latest rumors and news around the NFL. The trio start with takeaways from the NFL owner's meetings as Jori was on the ground in Orlando. The hosts discuss the fallout of the new kickoff rule (are rosters going to change because of it?), the two Christmas Day games and what the heck Jerry Jones was doodling in his notebook. Next, it's time to pull out the crystal ball as the hosts attempt to look into the future for some key quarterbacks, starting with Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy's draft stock has been skyrocketing lately as some rumors emerged that he could go as high as second overall. Charles gives his thoughts and what he's hearing from GMs around the league before moving onto Brock Purdy and whether San Francisco will be willing to pay him when the time comes. Charles dives deeper into the 2024 quarterback class and why every prospect has a massive red flag, and Jori gives us the latest on the Dak Prescott contract negotiations, which seem to be heading in the wrong direction. All signs are pointing towards Dak hitting free agency next offseason. Finally, Fitz wraps things up by asking about Deion Sanders' comments about choosing where his sons get drafted and whether or not player empowerment could be ascending to a new level with the emergence of NIL.
