Episode notes
Rookies Often Deliver Immediate Value
- Rookies can immediately produce fantasy value; historical precedents like Saquon and Jalen Hurts show high rookie ceilings.
- Field Yates stresses that rookie impact is common, so treat prospects seriously in drafts.
Reevaluate RJ Harvey After Dobbins Signing
- Avoid drafting RJ Harvey too early given JK Dobbins' addition to Denver; his role and ceiling were reduced.
- Consider Harvey as a late-round RB3 with upside rather than a guaranteed RB2.
Volume Trumps Testing For Some RBs
- Caleb Johnson projects as a high-volume back in Pittsburgh despite modest athletic testing.
- Field expects volume to drive fantasy relevance even if Johnson lacks explosive traits.
