Combine 40 Times in Perspective and the “Big Four” ’24 RB Free Agents: RSP Film and Theory with Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman
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. Topics How the NFL Combine measures 40 times. Why is the measurement approach problematic for individual players but not as much for analysts? The four high-profile RBs in this year's free agent class and how we regard their fantasy value moving forward. 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.

The Pacing and Control of Elite NFL Movers/Decision-Makers and the Pro-Readiness of WRs Marvin Harrison, Jr vs. Malik Nabers: Going Deep with Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman
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. 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. https://youtu.be/ynOBe27N-t4 This Week’s Topics Controlled Pacing: What Lamar Jackson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, and James Cook have in common. The dynamics of controlled pacing. A film breakdown of James Cook showing his pacing control in college. Why smaller backs may be the immediate future for the NFL. 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. How NIL deals will impact the NFL and may influence more player development in the league and an NBA one-and-done rule.

What Is Happening to NFL Careers? Something Is Happening to Older Players: RSP Film and Theory with Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman
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. 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 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.

Tony Pollard’s Injuries Are Worse Than You Realize, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, and Contextualizing QB Data: Going Deep with Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman
On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss Tony Pollard's struggles, a recently cut RB of value, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, and the need to contextualize quarterback data. 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.

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 Trevor Lawrence's data paints a worse picture than the film and the film don't lie. C.J. Stroud is off to a strong start, but placing him in the elite category of passers is premature. Quarterback data often lacks necessary contextualization and why that impacts scouting and media. Tony Pollard's decline in production has to do with injury. Brandon explains the difference between being ready to play and being healthy enough to play their best. Why players end up in situations where they are ready to play but often never return to their top form. A recently cut RB who has starter value and is at least worth monitoring.

Notable Young QBs, the Future of the RB Position, Vikings and Lions, and the Patriots’ WR Corps: Going Deep with Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman
On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss development expectations for young QBs, the Vikings and Lions' offenses, the future of the running back position, and the Patriots' two slot-friendly wide receivers. 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. 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 What the future could be for the Vikings' QB position and what's in store for Justin Jefferson's career path and Jordan Addison's development? Who are the quarterback candidates for Minnesota? Who would Matt consider as cheap hedges to a draft pick? What Will Levis did well against Atlanta and why we should have perspective about what he did and didn't show on film. Why Brock Purdy is legit but the circumstances and natural progression of quarterback development that underscores his recent struggles. Our overall view of Tyson Bagent in the NFL. The Donovan Peoples-Jones' trade to Detroit and why Detroit may not even need a vertical threat to go deep in the playoffs. The direction of running backs in the league. Demario Douglas: The reason why Kayshon Boutte has been inactive. Why Kendrick Bourne's injury may change that. https://youtu.be/P4gA11i7wio 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 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.

Arthur Smith-Bijan Robinson, QB Regression, EPA and WR Models, and Selling Pickens-Buying Nacua-Addison-Waddle: RSP Film and Theory with Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman
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. Topics Arthur Smith's press conference and poking the media bear. Why we're both impressed with Smith's coaching relative to personnel. Bijan Robinson remains a strong buy for dynasty formats. The unique aspects of QB regression to other positions. How QB regression can be used for projecting future performance. ESPN's new WR models and why models are helpful but not meant to be like appliances or apps. Why we're both selling George Pickens but buying Puka Nacua, Jordan Addison, and Jaylen Waddle 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 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.
