Along the way they discuss Ladd McConkey, Audric Estime, Zamir White and much, much more.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down the latest NFL news, beginning with a lengthy — and we do mean lengthy — debate on Trevor Lawrence becoming the highest-paid player in the league. Just how good is Lawrence really? Next, they check in on George Kittle and Pat Freiermuth. Is Kittle still an elite fantasy option? Can Freiermuth reclaim TE1 status? They end by checking in on their team preview series, focusing on the Bills, Falcons and Ravens. They debate Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid and Darnell Mooney, amongst others.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) break down all the latest NFL news, beginning with reflections on the Cardinals’ 2024 offense.

They then debate who should be the 2024 cover player for the Rotoworld Draft Guide. Are running backs out of bounds? What about a safe receiver like Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson? Next, they share some late-round fliers they have been targeting in early fantasy drafts. They discuss Blake Corum, Ja’Lynn Polk, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Malachi Corley, Ray Davis, Noah Fant and more.

On the news front, they discuss the Jets and Cowboys backfields and the Chargers’ receiver situation. With the breakouts, they begin with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. We know this attack will be better, but what if Rodgers looks his 40 years? Next they examine if the Falcons truly have enough weapons, if Anthony Richardson can support more than his own rushing ability, if the Commanders will goose their efficiency and much, much more. That includes the improvement odds in Carolina and the effects of having an actual skill corps in Tennessee.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) break down the latest NFL news, beginning with Christian McCaffrey and Justin Jefferson’s extensions.

For the news they explore Jaylen Waddle’s contract extension and wonder why he’s “only” the WR17 in spring best ball drafts. They also spend too long arguing about Taysom Hill’s potential 2024 usage and output. For the GMs, they begin by discussing Jerry Jones’ surprising top 10 rank and debating the 49ers and Rams’ front offices. Does San Francisco deserve to be higher? Denny makes the case that Nick Caserio is underrated while Brandon Beane is overrated. They also touch on Terry Fontenot, Ryan Poles, Brett Veach and much more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Mitchell and his supposed “character concerns,” Malik Nabers’ fit with the Chargers and much, much more.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) inch closer to draft day with the latest on the Brock Bowers debate — how big of a concern is his lack of testing? — before again returning to Jayden Daniels and what an appropriate comparison may or may not be. Hint: It’s not Lamar Jackson. They then check in on the latest re-draft news, beginning with Tee Higgins’ belief he will remain in Cincinnati. They examine DeVonta Smith’s extension, Courtland Sutton’s odds of landing a new deal, Nick Chubb’s health, the Titans’ backfield and more.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) go long on Kyle’s latest mock draft, beginning with his mocking of LSU’s Jayden Daniels to the Commanders at No. 2. They debate the likelihood of the first four picks all being quarterbacks, if J.J. McCarthy is as “safe” as the recent draft chatter would lead people to believe, and if Bo Nix might sneak into the top 10, specifically to Vegas. They also ponder if Marvin Harrison Jr. is still the consensus WR1 and if Brock Bowers will make it past the top 10. They end by discussing Denny’s recent article on what they hope is a more pass-happy Texans offense. Along the way, they sweat someone by the name of “Austin Eckroat” as Denny and Kyle commiserate about the Masters.
