Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) break down the latest NFL news, beginning with Christian Watson’s claim that he has solved his hamstring woes. Is he being wildly underdrafted as the WR46, and what might the down-stream effects be on players like Jayden Reed and Donyavion Wicks. Next, they examine Patrick Mahomes’ assertion that the Chiefs do plan to throw down field more and Anthony Richardson’s insistence that he will not change his playing style. They debate whether Ladd McConkey will be a bust, if we’ve seen Jalen Hurts’ peak, if Tee Higgins can still produce WR2 returns, and if Malachi Corley is a genuine fantasy sleeper. They end by examining the Broncos’ backfield battle royale and Rashod Bateman’s breakout odds.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down all the latest NFL news, beginning with the latest on Kyren Williams’ foot injury. Next, they examine Dan Campbell’s positive words on Jameson Williams. Is this the year he finally breaks out? They also talk about the Commanders’ hope for more hurry-up offense and its potential effect on the backfield before wondering if Deshaun Watson will hold the Browns’ offense back. For the second half of the show they focus on ADPs they believe are either too high or low, including George Pickens, Jaylen Warren, Marvin Harrison, Michael Pittman and Josh Jacobs.

May 21: Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) evaluate the latest NFL news, beginning with reports Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagovailoa and Najee Harris are all prepared to play lighter in 2024. Will Tagovailoa regain scrambling ability? Can Lamar add more long runs? Can Najee hold off Jaylen Warren? They also break down Rashee Rice reporting to Chiefs OTAs, Aaron Rodgers wowing reporters in New York, the Chargers talking up Quentin Johnston, and T.J. Hockenson (knee) saying he still lacks a timeline for a return. Along the way they touch on Tee Higgins, Drake Maye, and Bryce Young tidbits.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) welcome in special guest Davis Mattek (@DavisMattek). They begin with some schedule release fallout, breaking down why best ball players are suddenly shaky on drafting Dolphins and Lions. They then dive into players Davis is avoiding at ADP, beginning with Saquon Barkley. Will there be enough touchdowns to go around in Philadelphia? They also examine Brandon Aiyuk vs. Deebo Samuel, the Texans’ targets delineation with Stefon Diggs and whether C.J. Stroud is a sophomore fade. They also assess Josh Jacobs with the Packers, Rachaad White’s 2023 repeat odds, and why some managers are still promoting Najee Harris.

May 14: Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) break down the latest NFL news, beginning with the announcement Chiefs/Ravens will kick off the 2024 season. They examine Jared Goff’s massive extension in Detroit, Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s Bills arrival and Zay Jones in Arizona. Next they conduct another rookie check-in, examining coach quotes on Blake Corum/Kyren Williams, J.J. McCarthy/Sam Darnold, Bo Nix, the Broncos’ backfield and more. That includes Will Levis expecting a more pass-heavy system in Tennessee.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) divert from a slow news week by examining some of fantasy’s most promising zero-RB backfields heading into 2024. They begin with the Texans, speculating about Joe Mixon’s odds of providing top-15 returns. They sift through the situation in Las Vegas, ponder whether D’Andre Swift can hold off Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson on the downs that matter most, question if Alvin Kamara can continue “getting away with it,” and debate if the Washington backfield is even worth pursuing. After some brief Packers and Chiefs talk, they check in on tight end dart throws Zach Ertz, Cade Otton and Chig Okonkwo.

May 7: Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) break down all the latest NFL news, beginning with a trio of receiver signings. What does Tyler Boyd’s Tennessee arrival mean for Will Levis’ development and Treylon Burks’ future? Will Odell Beckham move the needle at all in Miami? Can D.J. Chark become the Chargers’ No. 1 wideout? They then take a spin through some recent coach quotes, including the Packers on MarShawn Lloyd, the Panthers on Jonathan Brooks, and the Texans on Tank Dell. They also check in on Joe Burrow and Eagles rookie wideout Johnny Wilson.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) welcome in old friend Patrick Kerrane (@PatKerrane) for some post-draft dynasty and best ball talk. They begin, as always, with Brock Bowers, with Kerrane making a more positive case. They debate Marvin Harrison vs. Malik Nabers in dynasty, if Rome Odunze is the clear rookie WR3, if Ladd McConkey can see enough opportunity, and if Xavier Worthy can hit the ground running. They also try to find the positive cases for Jonathan Brooks and Keon Coleman before ending with some Ricky Pearsall talk.

April 30: Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) dive into the rookie fantasy class, going round-by-round with players whose landing spots they love coming out of the draft. That includes obvious choices like Malik Nabers and Ladd McConkey, but also players further down the board like new Jets WR Malachi Corley and Dolphins runner Jaylen Wright. In addition, they debate Blake Corum’s addition to the Rams’ backfield and its likely negative effect on Kyren Williams, Xavier Worthy’s Chiefs arrival, Ezekiel Elliott’s Cowboys return and Zay Jones’ Jaguars release. They end discussing zero-RB targets Kimani Vidal and Audric Estime.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) welcome in Connor Rogers (@ConnorJRogers) to help break down Night 1 of the draft, beginning with Michael Penix’s stunning selection at No. 8 overall. What do the Falcons even win if they “win” here? They then debate Drake Maye vs. Jayden Daniels’ 2027 starting odds, J.J. McCarthy’s fit in Minnesota, and the Chargers’ decision to pass on Malik Nabers. Pat and Kyle dig into Brock Bowers’ fit in Vegas — questionable — before examining Xavier Worthy and Brian Thomas Jr.’s odds of rookie fantasy contributions. They wonder if Ricky Pearsall and Xavier Legette are destined to bust, and if Marvin Harrison Jr. can sneak into the top 12 at wideout as a rookie.
