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.

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.

Jared Goff’s Extension, Potential Bills WR and Broncos RB Pecking Order

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.
