Yahoo Sports' Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski join forces to recap preseason week one and give their takeaways and biggest surprises before diving into quarterback draft strategy and how to approach quarterback in a Superflex league.2:00 - Preseason week one headlines: Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor will return to practice soon according to head coach Shane Steichen, but Matt and Scott aren't convinced the contract dispute will be resolved any time soon. Meanwhile, Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz has been cleared for week one, but he is likely not a player you should be targeting in your drafts.10:10 - Matt and Scott give their takeaways from playing time of various players in preseason action, including Tank Bigsby, Greg Dulcich, Khalil Herbert, Alexander Mattison and Kenneth Gainwell.29:55 - The quarterback position is evolving. The top quarterbacks have more value than they have in previous years, so how should you best approach the decision of whether or not to draft one early? Both hosts discuss their process for finding the next quarterback who could break into that group of elite QBs. Players like Justin Herbert and Justin Fields have a chance to join the group, or you could wait until later in the draft and chase the ceiling of guys like Anthony Richardson or Geno Smith.54:50 - Superflex has emerged as an improvement upon two-quarterback leagues, and Matt and Scott give their ideal strategy for drafting in a Superflex league. Scott thinks it's best to take three starting QBs: two who are at least solid starters, and one sleeper with a ceiling. Scott points out Mac Jones, Brock Purdy and Kenny Pickett as good sleeper options.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Show and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

But that does mean we are that much closer to the height of fantasy draft season. Continuing our 'Rankings week' theme on the pod, Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens compile the list of the top 5 best and worst ADPs this draft season. But first, the two dive into some of the biggest fantasy news out of training camps this week including injury updates on Rams WR Cooper Kupp and Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley. The two then discuss if we should buy the hype coming out of Bills camp about RB James Cook and TE Dalton Kincaid. The two then end the first half of the show trying to make sense of what to do with Lions WR Jameson Williams this year in fantasy. When attempting to create the top 5 list of the best ADPs (essentially the best value picks in the draft), Harmon and Behrens share their individual lists before debating who goes on the ultimate list.

Now that the 2023 NFL draft is in the rear-view mirror and we know where this year's rookie prospects have all landed, it's a wonderful time to look at the class of '23 through the lens of a dynasty draft. When you're drafting in this longer-timeline format, it's good to weigh both the short-term and long-term prospects of each rookie.Joining Matt Harmon for this 24-pick mini-dynasty draft is Late Round's JJ Zachariason. Before diving into the picks themselves, the guys react to some reporting over the weekend that proposes that the Kansas City Chiefs may value Kadarius Toney as ther WR1 — a bold statement indeed.For the bulk of the show, however, the guys go turn-by-turn through a fake dynasty rookie draft. Now, the first pick is pretty easy with Atlanta's Bijan Robinson, but where do Matt & JJ value backs like Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs and Seattle's Zach Charbonnet? And at what point in the draft should QBs like Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young & CJ Stroud be selected?2:15 - Buying the Kadarius Toney WR1 hype in 2023?11:30 - Dynasty Mock Draft Round 1: Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, Quentin Johnson, Anthony Richardson, Zach Charbonnet, Dalton Kincaid, Devon Achane, Jonathan Mingo, Bryce Young47:36 - Dynasty Mock Draft Round 2: Jayden Reed, Marvin Mims Jr., Kendre Miller, Sam LaPorta, Josh Downs, CJ Stroud, Michael Mayer, Jalin Hyatt, Cedric Tillman, Roschon Johnson, Rashee Rice, Tank BigsbyCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

With coaching changes, free agency and the draft in the rear view mirror most rosters are set heading into training camp. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal Yahoo's Fantasy Football Team Power Rankings for all 32 teams. Harmon breaks the 32 rankings into 3 tiers: The bottom tier, middle tier, top tier. The bottom tier being offenses that look like a mess or are complete unknown based on changes made this offseason. The middle tier is teams with potentially high ceilings but also very low floors with likely a few reliable fantasy starters. The top tier being teams with the majority of their skill players being dependable fantasy starters. Harmon and Pianowski explain why the Jets are still not in the top tier and why the Chiefs are not a top five fantasy offense. They also share why there's no debate who the number one team is. 1:45 - Explaining the Fantasy Football team power rankings format4:31 - Breaking down the 3 tiers of the power rankings4:49 - The bottom tier: Teams with messy or questionable offenses11:34 - Is there a scenario Kyler Murray doesn't even play this year?15:45 - Can we trust Green Bay in fantasy with Jordan Love at QB?18:06 - The Rams are Cooper Kupp... and bust?21:35 - What's one team in the bottom tier that can make a jump up?24:03 - Why Sean Payton has more of a leash than Russell Wilson in Denver25:55 - Why Washington is a darkhorse fantasy offense30:15 - The middle tier: The high variance tier of offenses 30:45 - Is Desmond Ridder holding back Atlanta offense from greatness?39:29 - Why the Jets aren't a top tier offense yet45:21 - The Top Tier: The elite fantasy offenses in the NFL45:52 - Who's the third best fantasy option in Kansas City behind Mahomes, Kelce?57:59 - Why there's zero debate who No. 1 is Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

The NFL Draft is finally in the books which means our fantasy experts Matt Harmon, Dalton Del Don, and Andy Behrens can begin to dissect every angle of it.The three go over all the major skill position players (QB, RB, WR, TE) drafted and their fits and place the rookies into three categories: Major impact, maybe impactful, and least impactful.Harmon, Del Don and Behrens begin the show by trying to rationalize the 49ers decision to take a kicker in the third round and end the show by trying to make sense of the crowded WR rooms in Denver, Kansas City and the New York Giants.In between, the three discuss how Seattle's rookies could impact the fantasy implications for Kenny Walker, D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and also debate if D'Andre Swift is even a good fit in Philadelphia.3:08 - Sorting these rookie picks into 3 fantasy categories4:59 - Least impactful fantasy rookies11:14 - Rationalizing the 49ers taking a kicker in the 3rd round13:07 - Identifying the most impactful fantasy rookies13:56 - The case for Bijan Robinson to be RB122:20 - Is Dalton Kincaid a starting fantasy TE?29:40 -How viable fantasy-wise are Gibbs and LaPorta in Detroit?35:46 - Could Jayden Reed be WR1 in Green Bay?39:55 - Did Texans make a mistake trading up to No. 3 pick?45:54 - Where does Indy's Anthony Richardson rank in redraft?51:10 - Is Jordan Addison rookie WR1 in fantasy?53:15 - Why the D'Andre Swift trade to Philly isn't a good one fantasy-wise56:33 - How will Seattle's rookies impact Walker, Metcalf and Lockett's fantasy value?1:02:40 - Rapid Fire: Identifying the "maybe Impactful" group of rookies Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Round one of the NFL Draft is in the books and Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald break down every angle from a crazy first night.Harmon and McDonald provide their winners and losers for fantasy (and real life) implications for all the QBs, RBs, WRs, and TE taken in the first round. Harmon expresses his love for all the QB and WR fits but can't make sense of the Detroit Lions picks. McDonald, a devoted Falcons fan, shares his perspective on Atlanta drafting Bijan Robinson. Both agree Lamar Jackson may have been the biggest winner of draft night one with the new contract and addition of Zay Flowers.

We are officially two weeks away from the Carolina Panthers kicking off the 2023 NFL Draft. Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald dive into maybe the most perplexing and polarizing class of this draft season: The wide receivers.But before diving into the prospects, Matt and Charles look at what DeAndre Hopkins' trade market looks like postOdell Beckham Jr. signing with the Baltimore Ravens. Is Hopkins a good fit for the New York Jets? Should we expect Hopkins to be a draft day trade? Matt and Charles discuss both.While opinions are all over the place with this year's wide receiver draft class, Matt and Charles agree WR1 is Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The two detail what make him a legit prospect at the next level.And then there's the rest of them. Matt and Charles provide player comps for the top five in the class and share their favorite deep sleeper prospects for day two and three of the draft. 2:40 - What's next for DeAndre Hopkins after Odell signing?8:20 - 2023 WR Draft class a whole15:50 - WR1: Jaxon Smith-Njigba22:22 - WR2: Quentin Johnston29:53 - WR3: Jordan Addison36:36 - WR4: Zay Flowers41:21 - WR5: Jalin Hyatt47:00 - Favorite day 2-3 WR prospects1:01:25 - Deep WR sleeper prospects Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Of course the NFL had to make news over Easter weekend. Odell Beckham Jr. is officially a Baltimore Raven and we have our fantasy experts Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don break down all the real life and fantasy implications of the big move.With the Sacramento Kings set to break the longest playoff drought in the major four sports this weekend, Matt and Dalton also look at which NFL team is primed to break their postseason drought in 2023.Meanwhile, the NFL Draft is so close you can taste it. We continue our 'teams that will shape the 2023 draft series' as we dive into the state of the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders - two teams potentially going in opposite directions.Matt and Dalton look at how the Seahawks haven't rebuilt but retooled after the historic Russell Wilson trade a year ago. They also debate if it makes sense for Seattle to consider a QB in the top 10 or build a 'win-now' team around Geno Smith.To finish the show, Matt has NBC Sports' Lawrence Jackson Jr. on to discuss where exactly the Las Vegas Raiders franchise is headed this year and why their decision with the No. 7 pick will reveal what they really think of Jimmy Garoppolo as their quarterback.2:26 - Breaking down the Odell Beckham Jr. signing for Ravens and Lamar Jackson13:08 - Who's ending their long NFL playoff drought this year between the Jets, Broncos and Lions?16:14 - One year later: Is the Russell Wilson trade the most lopsided deal in NFL history?24:08 - Should Seattle draft a QB or go "all in" with Geno Smith?43:50 - Is Jimmy G an upgrade over Derek Carr in Vegas?58:30 - Are the Raiders serious about drafting a QB this year?

In this month-long lead up to the 2023 NFL draft at the end of April, it seems like all of the discussion has centered around the top four quarterbacks, who could all likely be selected with the top four picks. After discussing the 2023 class of running backs last week, Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald spend today's podcast finally diving into this year's blockbuster QB draft class in Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's CJ Stroud, Florida's Anthony Richardson & Kentucky's Will Levis.Before they talk about this year's class, the guys spend the first 20 minutes of the show looking back at the 2018 QB class and the odd similarities between this year's prospects and that year's group, which included Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson.For the bulk of the episode however, they talk about how Young, Stroud, Richardson & Levis are being evaluated by NFL front offices, their green flags, their red flags and why it's very likely we could see all four be selected with the top four picks, but not in the order you might imagine.At the tail end of the pod, they discuss Tennessee's Hendon Hooker and other wild card QBs who may be of interest later in the draft.0:00 - Introduction & revisiting the 2018 QB class18:10 - Alabama QB Bryce Young27:50 - Ohio State QB CJ Stroud33:15 - Florida QB Anthony Richardson44:15 - Kentucky QB Will Levis52:05 - Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker59:15 - Any wild card QBs deeper in the draft?Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Our teams that will shape the draft series rolls on this April with the Indianapolis Colts and the Detroit Lions. Matt Harmon is joined at the top of the show by our very own Scott Pianowski to report on the pulse of the Lions franchise, but before that they tackle a few pressing news stories.First, they talk about the Tennessee Titans reportedly being interested in trading up for the third overall pick, currently held by the Arizona Cardinals.
