Episode notes
Christian McCaffrey's Ranking Dilemma
- Christian McCaffrey is the hardest fantasy player to rank due to elite ability but significant Achilles tendonitis risks.
- If healthy, he's top 5-6, but reports and health updates will dictate actual draft position.
Bet on Jameer Gibbs' Potential
- Consider Jameer Gibbs as a 'bonk' pick because of his explosiveness and efficiency in a strong offense.
- Be cautious with Lions offense changes but Gibbs offers exciting volume and big-play ability.
Consider RJ Harvey's System Fit
- RJ Harvey is a solid mid-round pick in Sean Payton's passing-heavy system.
- The addition of JK Dobbins may reduce Harvey's value but could make him a cheaper draft target.
