Whose Target Is It Anyway? - Denver Broncos

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 19:15:58 +0000

After dealing with significant injuries over the last two years and only playing in 12 games in each season, Emmanuel Sanders appears to be as healthy as ever and ready to surpass 100+ targets in a season for the first time since 2016. Second year receiver Courtland Sutton had 704 yards receiving last year and will look to improve on that in 2019. The Broncos also drafted Noah Fant with the 20th overall pick out Iowa. With Joe Flacco now under center, who else do you like to emerge from this offense as a fantasy option this year? We discuss!

Back of the Pack - Episode 7

Samantha Holt and Derek Tate discuss the hold outs of Melvin Gordon & Michael Thomas, what to do with Tyreek Hill, draft strategies and what player to reach on in your upcoming drafts

Whose Target Is It Anyway? - Carolina Panthers

Mon, 29 Jul 2019 00:52:31 +0000

Outside of Christian McCaffrey's 124 targets last season, not a single Panther had more than 100 targets. D.J. Moore had a solid Rookie season in which he was targeted 82 times, catching 55 balls for 788 yards and two scores. Can we expect him to take a big step up in 2019? He'll no longer have Devin Funchess to compete with, but the Panthers welcomed veteran Chris Hogan to the receiving corps this off season and should now have a healthy Greg Olsen and Torrey Smith. How about Curtis Samuel? Can we expect three straight years of improvement out of the shifty receiver? We discuss!

Whose Target Is It Anyway? - Atlanta Falcons

Sat, 27 Jul 2019 23:59:13 +0000

The Fantasy Focused crew breaks down the pass catchers for the Atlanta Falcons. Is Julio Jones worth a first round pick? Will Austin Hooper have another top 10 fantasy season at the Tight End position? Can we expect more from Calvin Ridley in 2019 or will Mohamed Sanu continue to soak up targets? Tune in to find out!

Talking Tottenham - Episode 28 - A Handsome Squad

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 03:48:58 +0000

ICC Man U preview, transfer rumors ablaze. COYS.

Whose Target Is It Anyway? - New Orleans Saints

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 01:39:44 +0000

Michael Thomas was once again amongst the league leaders in targets last year with 147, and was able to make an impressive 125 catches for 1405 yards and 9 TDs. Ted Ginn Jr. was limited to only 5 games due to injury, but Rookie Tre’Quan Smith filled in nicely with 28 catches for 427 yards and 5 scores. Can he step up and have an increased role this year? With a healthy Cameron Meredith and the additions of Jared Cook and Rishard Matthews, what should we expect from this offensive unit in 2019? Can we expect another 100+ targets for Alvin Kamara as well? We discuss.

Whose Target Is It Anyway? - Kansas City Chiefs

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 00:57:13 +0000

With the recent news that Tyreek Hill will NOT be suspended, where are you comfortable taking him in your Fantasy Football drafts? He was targeted a whopping 137 times in 2018, hauling in 87 catches for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns (plus 22 carries for 151 and an additional score), good for the #3 fantasy wide receiver spot overall. Sammy Watkins should be solid at the WR2 spot, but then again he will be playing third fiddle to Travis Kelce, whom was targeted 150 times in 2018. Where do you value rookie Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson and company? We discuss what should be a juicy fantasy squad of pass catchers with Patrick Mahomes at the helm.

Intro/Outro music by Tom Delay Beats

Whose Target Is It Anyway? - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mon, 22 Jul 2019 01:16:25 +0000

Mike Evans finished as the #9 fantasy football (PPR) wide receiver in 2018 after amassing 86 catches for 1,524 yards (career high) and 8 scores on 139 targets. His current ADP sits at 2.09. Can we expect more of the same with Arians in town? With the departures of Adam Humphries and DeSean Jackson, how much more can we expect from the likes of Chris Godwin, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate? Godwin is currently being drafted in the 5.01 spot on average, while Howard sits at 5.07 and Brate undrafted for the most part. Any love for newcomer Breshad Perriman? How about Scott Miller and company? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - Tennessee Titans

Sun, 14 Jul 2019 17:04:19 +0000

Derrick Henry finished the 2018 season as the #16 running back in PPR formats, picking up 1,059 Yards and 12 touchdowns on 215 carries. From weeks 13-17, Henry averaged 6.44 YPC and scored seven TDs. Meanwhile, Dion Lewis finished the season as the #28 running back after hauling in 59 passes for 400 yards and 1 receiving touchdown, while only picking up only 517 yards on 155 carries (3.3 YPC) for an additional touchdown. With Matt LaFleur no longer calling the plays, how much changes in Tennessee in 2019 with Arthur Smith as the OC?

Back of the Pack - Episode 6

Fri, 12 Jul 2019 21:10:09 +0000

On to Kentucky! After another underdog story makes headlines in DAYTONA and the NASCAR world, will the trend continue in the Bluegrass state or will the big 3 regain their foothold? Join Ryan & Alex as they review the action from the beaches of DAYTONA and look ahead at the racing and gambling action for a weekend under the lights.

Running Back By Committee - Indianapolis Colts

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 14:33:54 +0000

Marlon Mack finished the 2018 fantasy football season as the #21 PPR running back in 12 games played, picking up 908 yards on 195 carries with 10 total touchdowns. If he's able to stay healthy, Mack has serious upside behind one of the best offensive lines in all of football. Meanwhile, Nyheim Hines finished as the #27 PPR back with 739 yards from scrimmage on 148 total touches with 4 scores. Where do you value them both in 2019? Any love for Spencer Ware or Jordan Wilkins as a deep stash in case of injuries? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - Houston Texans

Tue, 09 Jul 2019 12:37:58 +0000

Lamar Miller quietly finished the 2018 season as the 23rd ranked running back in PPR formats, picking up 1,136 yards from scrimmage for 6 touchdowns on 235 touches. With that being said, Miller hasn't rushed for 1,000 yards since 2016 and the upside is certainly limited. Will this be the seemingly long-awaited breakout season for a now healthy D'Onta Foreman? Time will tell.

Running Back By Committee - Cincinnati Bengals

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 13:21:28 +0000

Joe Mixon finished the 2018 season as the #10 PPR Running Back in only 14 games played, amassing 280 touches for 1,400+ yards from scrimmage and 9 touchdowns. Should we expect more of the same in 2019 or will the injury to first rounder Jonah Williams hurt that production? How high are you willing to draft Mixon this year? We also discuss Gio Bernard and Trayveon Williams.

Running Back By Committee - Cleveland Browns

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 15:32:14 +0000

Nick Chubb finished the 2018 season as the 17th ranked PPR running back while only starting 9 games (Hyde was later traded), carrying the ball 192 times for 996 yards and 8 touchdowns (2 additional TDs through the air). However, the Browns brought in talented running back Kareem Hunt this offseason, whom is suspended for the first 8 games of the season. Should Hunt lingering alter your draft strategy or deter you from being confident in Chubb in 2019? Any love for Duke Johnson in PPR formats? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - Baltimore Ravens

Sat, 06 Jul 2019 00:29:59 +0000

Quarterback Lamar Jackson led the team in carries as a rookie with 147 for 695 yards and 5 touchdowns, while Gus Edwards contributed 718 yards on 137 carries (two touchdowns). Alex Collins (no longer with the team) and Kenneth Dixon also contributed more than 700 yards and 9 touchdowns on the ground combined. With Mark Ingram now in town, should we be excited about grabbing him in the 4th round? Any love for Rookie Justice Hill? Or will Lamar Jackson and Gus Edwards lead the way again for the Ravens? Where does a healthy Dixon end up in this backfield? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - Pittsburgh Steelers

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 15:55:45 +0000

With Lev Bell sitting out the 2018 season over a contract dispute, James Conner finished the season as the #6 running back in PPR formats with more than 1,400 yards from scrimmage and 13 TDS in only 13 games. He's currently being drafted at the end of the first round in fantasy drafts. Is that too soon? Jaylen Samuels had a nice season as well and is a major threat in the passing attack. In addition, the Steelers went and drafted Benny Snell in the 4th Round out of Kentucky. What do we make of this backfield in 2019?

Ndombele in? Shakes and Buckey discuss the potential new Tottenham record setting transfer.

Running Back By Committee - Denver Broncos

Mon, 01 Jul 2019 11:22:43 +0000

Phillip Lindsay burst onto the scene in Denver, becoming the first undrafted offensive rookie to ever make the Pro Bowl, good for the 13th ranked PPR back in fantasy. Meanwhile, third round pick out of Oregon, Royce Freeman carried the ball 130 times for 521 yards and 5 touchdowns with 14 catches for 72 yards. With a new head coach in town, Vic Fangio, will this be a true "Running Back By Committee", or will Lindsay or Freeman become the bellcow back? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - Los Angeles Chargers

Sat, 29 Jun 2019 15:28:52 +0000

Melvin Gordon finished the 2018 season as the #8 running back in PPR formats in only 12 games played, while Austin Ekeler finished at #25. Can we expect more of the same from this backfield in 2019? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - Oakland Raiders

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 11:02:53 +0000

With the 24th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Raiders selected talented running back Josh Jacobs out of Alabama. They had also signed Isaiah Crowell to a a newl deal, but he was abruptly lost for the season with a torn achilles. In a corresponding move, the team also brought back veteran Doug Martin. Jalen Richard is still on the roster as well, and he actually finished as the #29 back in PPR formats. How high are you willing to take Jacobs in 2019? How about Richard in PPR formats? We discuss.

Playin' Pepper - Episode 9

Thu, 27 Jun 2019 15:34:34 +0000

Running Back By Committee - New York Jets

Wed, 26 Jun 2019 13:00:40 +0000

After a 4-12 season, there seems to be much more optimism surrounding the Jets in 2019. A big part of that optimism and excitement is the free agency signing of Le'Veon Bell. The Jets haven't had a force in their backfield like Bell since Curtis Martin. Is Lev Bell the answer to their offensive woes? With Darnold in his sophomore season and an improved offensive unit as a whole, we should see a much improved running game. Any love for Montgomery, Powell, McGuire, etc.?

Running Back By Committee - Buffalo Bills

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 12:52:09 +0000

The Bills put up only 17 points per game in 2018, good for 30th in the league. With a revamped offensive line, new OL coach and some key free agency acquisitions on the offensive side of the ball, how different will this team look in 2019? The Bills drafted Devin Singletary in the 3rd Round, signed Frank Gore AND T.J. Yeldon, and still has Shady McCoy on the roster as of June 25th. What do we make of this backfield?

Running Back By Committee - Kansas City Chiefs

Mon, 24 Jun 2019 13:51:14 +0000

We kick off the AFC West talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. It's still early, but Damien Williams is currently being drafted near the end of the second round. Is that too rich for your blood or are you confident in him as your RB2, potentially even RB1? Any love for Carlos Hyde later in drafts? The team also drafted Darwin Thompson out of Utah State in the 6th round and also has second year player Darrel Williams returning at the position.

Running Back By Committee - Miami Dolphins

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 17:43:03 +0000

To the surprise of many, Kenyan Drake finished the 2018 season as the #14 PPR back despite only receiving 120 carries and no more than 17 touches in any game. With Adam Gase out of the picture, can Drake get the touches he deserves under new head coach Brian Flores? Or will it be a true committee with Kalen Ballage? We discuss.

Running Back By Committee - New England Patriots

Sat, 22 Jun 2019 13:47:28 +0000

Historically, the Patriots' backfield has been one of the most frustrating groups to predict in terms of fantasy football and consistency. Will we see more of the same in 2019? After Sony Michel showed us what he is capable of with a full workload, he had another knee surgery this offseason AND the Patriots decided to draft Damien Harris out of Alabama in the 3rd round. Let's not forget about James White & Rex Burkhead either. With 4 returning starters and a healthy Isaiah Wynn, the Patriots should have one of the best offensive lines in the game as well. What do you make of this backfield?

Back of the Pack - Episode 3

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 15:17:01 +0000

Running Back By Committee - New York Giants

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 13:58:57 +0000

Saquon was a fantasy monster in 2018 on a bad Giants team, especially in PPR as he hauled in 91 passes for an additional 721 yards receiving. Can we expect more of the same in 2019 or are you more comfortable taking someone else at 1 or 2 overall?

Running Back By Committee - Dallas Cowboys

Wed, 19 Jun 2019 18:12:11 +0000

If you're sitting there on Draft Day with a Top 3 pick, do Zeke's off the field issues deter you from considering him over the likes of Saquon, McCaffrey and Kamara? We debate and discuss Ezekiel Elliott and the rest of the Cowboys backfield

Running Back By Committee - Washington Redskins

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 13:53:50 +0000

After losing 2018 2nd round pick Derrius Guice to an injury in the preseason the Skins turned to Veteran Adrian Peterson. Skilled pass catcher Chris Thompson only played in 10 games but managed 41 catches for 268 yards and a touchdown. Samaje Perrine is still on the roster, and the team also drafted Bryce Love out of Standford this year. How does it all shake out in this now deep backfield?

Running Back By Committee - Philadelphia Eagles

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 00:18:07 +0000

Who is the back to own in Philly after the team traded for Jordan Howard and drafted Miles Sanders out of Penn State this offseason? With Josh Adams potentially on the outside looking in, is there anyone else you feel had value outside of the Top 2 here? We discuss.

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 00:19:15 +0000

Running Back By Committee - Seattle Seahawks

Fri, 14 Jun 2019 01:52:27 +0000

Chris Carson finished 2018 as the RB15 in Fantasy Football. The Seahawks finished 1st in the NFL in rushing yards with three RBs rushing for over 400 yards, Carson going over 1,000. With Davis out of the picture, do both Carson and Penny have stand alone value?

Mon, 03 Jun 2019 13:47:37 +0000
