Fantasy Football YESTERDAY: Mount Rushmore for Each Position (1997-2019) (05/12 Fantasy Football Podcast)

The best QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs of the last 23 seasons! There is plenty of debate on today's show. First, let's talk about 2020 and focus on the Browns backfield (5:30). What will Kareem Hunt's role be and will it be big enough to ruin Nick Chubb's Fantasy prospects? ... The Mount Rushmore QBs were fairly easy (11:30), but does Tom Brady belong ahead of Aaron Rodgers? RBs (17:28) were a bit different with Ben actually putting someone other than LaDanian Tomlinson #1. And finding the fourth RB was not easy ... On to WRs (25:30)! The case for and against Randy Moss as the #1 WR of this era, plus did Terrell Owens make the cut? Did Julio Jones? Finally we get to TE (35:25) and Adam is alone with his pick for #1 ...

Fantasy Football YESTERDAY: The Best Fantasy Performances Since 1997 (05/11 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Welcome to Fantasy Football YESTERDAY! All this week we are looking back at the best and the worst of Fantasy Football since 1997. Today, we review a draft of the best individual seasons. The best of Marshall Faulk, LaDanian Tomlinson, Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning and more. First, we wonder if the NFL is about to go back in time by becoming a run-first league (2:55). Is this actually happening? We debate and discuss ... Getting into the "Best Seasons Ever" draft (15:40), Tomlinson was NOT the #1 pick. Why not? Why did two TEs go in the first round? Why does Randy Moss' 2007 season have a case as the best ever? ... As we go through the picks, we marvel at Harrison's greatness, how the RB landscape has changed and some names you may have forgotten about all while debating which criteria to use when evaluating these Fantasy seasons ...

We'll tell you what we look for and then we'll tell you about the big winners (7:44). The Chargers have a favorable schedule, Kyler Murray is looking good right now and Ben Roethlisberger could be a great draft pick based on his early schedule ... Let's talk about D.K.
