JJ Zachariason of Late-Round Fantasy Football stops by Matt Waldman's RSP Cast to discuss his 2024 Late-Round Draft Guide and where they converge and diverge on this year's fantasy prospects. https://youtu.be/odl7bZPYols JJ Zachariason is someone most of you know. If you don't, you should get to know his work at Late-Round Fantasy Football. Like the RSP, JJ runs his own shop and he's dedicated to delivering quality content. His guides are informative and enjoyable reads. You'll become a better fantasy GM because of his knowledge of game theory and data analysis fused with the range of proven draft-day strategies in the space. JJ and I had a great time talking about rookie prospects this spring on his Late-Round Perspectives Podcast. This week, we delve into JJ's wheelhouse of fantasy strategies and some of the players who we think may help or hurt your team-building this season. Why we value "the why" with our work? JJ's approach to outliers? The game theory behind JJ touting Brock Purdy or Tua Tagovailoa at their price over C.J. Stroud. JJ reviews the RB Dead Zone and the type of backs to consider in that fantasy minefield. JJ's thoughts on Kyren Williams in 2024. JJ's increasing value for De'Von Achane. Josh Jacobs-Marshawn Lloyd and the impact of Green Bay's coaching dynamic. Thoughts on Dalton Kincaid, Luke Musgrave, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyjae Spears, Jayden Daniels, Jonathon Brooks, and Malik Nabers. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Hopefully, you will as well.

NFL.com researcher and draft analyst, Chad Reuter returns to Matt Waldman's RSP Scout Talk for a conversation about evaluation and valuation. Rueter also shares his favorite and riskiest prospects from the 2024 NFL Draft. https://youtu.be/Xh-LqSy7NFI Topics From a scouting perspective, what is the difference between evaluation and valuation? Thoughts on criticism leveled at the media analysis community about their perspective or lack of it regarding valuation and evaluation. Why is there such a public emphasis on how well one team "out-evaluates" another team? Is this a misnomer? Should we be instead judging how well a team identifies prospects to generate a surplus of talent vs. the average team? Why is there a greater emphasis on evaluation in the public eye? Where could the draft media do a better job of emphasizing valuation for the draft? Some of Chad's favorite prospects in this draft.

Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Theory as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2024 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. We take a break this week to discuss the NFL Combine's 40 Times and RB free agent class. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam (and not surprising he earned the FSWA's Fantasy Writer of the Year this week). He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts.

A weekly phone conversation between fantasy veterans Bob Harris and Matt Waldman is a quick and dirty run-down of NFL players, units, or teams. This week, Daniel Harms subs for the Harris. This week, I put Daniel through the gauntlet. You can find his work at Footballguys, Cover1, and the 33rd Team. He'll be back for some extended draft talk this offseason. https://youtu.be/oiZqJARBeuM Topics 1. Aaron Jones top 15 RB next year? 2. Michael Gallup finally ready to rebound in 2024? 3. Tony Pollard a top 15 RB next year? 4. Rashee Rice: Can he be more than his current role in KC? 5. DeVon Achane: already overrated? 6. Can Tua Tagovailoa get MIami to February? 7. Travis Kelce: Will he finish his career on a downturn? 8. KC's WR corps: Bad choices or difficult system? 9. Drake Maye: Will earn a second contract as a starter for the same team that drafts him? 10. Bo Nix will be a starter by the time he earns a second contract. 11. Keon Coleman is a top-5 WR prospect in this class. 12. Brian Thomas Jr would be a top-five WR in a lot of other drafts. 13. Your favorite sleeper in the 2024 draft 14. Prospect you feel is overrated. 15. Prospect you believe is good but you see a floor that scares you.

Adam Harstad has finished his post-rookie-year-WR prospect model and we break down the list of 19 receivers from the 2023 class who made the model, including a Packer you'd expect and one you wouldn't. Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. Topic Here's every 2023 rookie with at least 250 routes in all their glorious splendor. I did cheat a little to get Mims on here: he only had 245 routes (although he did miss a game). We had 19 (officially 18) qualifiers, which is demented. Previous record was 15 in 2014 (natch). pic.twitter.com/RxWg53DMz1 — Adam Harstad (@AdamHarstad) January 11, 2024 And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2024 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95–currently available for $19.95 via early-bird discount that runs through December 21, 2023.

On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss an RB and WR who might be safer than their likely draft capital, the buzz rollercoaster that is Keon Coleman, Michael Penix's punishing career, and the futures of Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel. After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don’t often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL’s disparities with 40 times and several more ’23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen. Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the player at the bottom of the page, or download the podcast at most outlets, including Google, Spotify, and iTunes. This Week’s Topics Is Bill Belichick's future in the front office or on the field? Why the Titans screwed up with Mike Vrabel. Brandon's pick for safest RB in the draft and why Matt sees similarities to a pair of Ravens. Is Kyren Williams' archetype about to become the NFL norm for running backs? Why do some breakaway RBs often encounter more difficulties adapting to the NFL than slower RBs? Profiling FSU WR Keon Coleman, his potential fit in the NFL, and the rollercoaster of takes surrounding his game. Which WR in this draft class is seen as a gadget player but is getting underrated because gadgets have proven to be overrated? Did Michigan reveal that Michael Penix, Jr. has taken too much punishment at Indiana before transferring to Washington and it may be too difficult for him to overcome in the NFL?

Topics Is the NFL game beginning to favor smaller RBs and is this even new? Why the NFL game vacillates between system-dominant and talent-dominant eras.

On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss what several elite NFL players have in common as movers and decision-makers, why Malik Nabers is more NFL-ready than Marvin Harrison, Jr., and a preview of next week's show on the impact NIL will have on the NFL long-term. Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He’s also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation.

Why Marvin Harrison, Jr. is a strong prospect but the expectations are too high for his immediate impact. Why Malik Nabers should be earning the expectations Harrison has earned.

Adam Harstad examined production among older NFL players and he's stumbled upon a "What" without a "Why." He and Matt Waldman discuss on this week's RSP Film and Theory. Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam.

Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. Topic I'll let Adam Harstad's intro from his Footballguys feature, Dynasty, In Theory, do the job of teeing up this week's topic: For a long time, it was taken as an article of faith that advancements in training, nutrition, and medical science (as well as an increased focus on player health and safety) would extend careers. And a few high-profile outliers likely convinced many that that was taking place. Tom Brady won an MVP at age 40 and was a second-team All-Pro at 44. Travis Kelce is likely to make his ninth straight Pro Bowl at age 34 and is a good bet to earn his fifth first-team All-Pro while he's at it. Adrian Peterson had 1200 scrimmage yards at 33, 1000 scrimmage yards at 34, and even recorded a 100-yard effort in his first game with a new team at age 35. Frank Gore started 14 games at 37. But outliers have always existed. Marcus Allen logged 1100 scrimmage yards at age 35 and 36 back in the '90s. John Riggins logged 380 touches and was a first-team All Pro at age 34 in the '80s. Joe Perry was a regular starter to age 35 back in the '60s. Y.A. Tittle won an MVP at age 37 back in 1963. Don Maynard, Charlie Joiner, and Jerry Rice set standards for longevity in the '70s, '80s, '90s, and '00s. The best way to track longevity is not through the single oldest player at a given position but through the prevalence of old players in general. And on that count, the last decade has been one of the worst in history.
