Don't Sleep On These RBs | Fantasy Value
🎙️🏈 In this deep-dive episode, we're teeing up a thorough discussion on the hidden gems of Fantasy Football - the backup Running Backs (RBs) with Round 15 or later Average Draft Position (ADP) who could secure the No. 2 role.
We'll also identify the top 15 values/fades on Underdog.
In Segment 1, we'll look at Tank Bigsby from the Jaguars, Tyjae Spears from the Titans, Gus Edwards from the Ravens, Jerome Ford from the Browns, and Zach Evans from the Rams. We'll analyze their prospects, including draft capital, team dynamics, and the age and history of the leading RBs.
Remember, strategy is key, and not getting too overweight on late-round favorites is essential. With Leonard Fournette, Kareem Hunt, and Ezekiel Elliott in free agency, the landscape could still shift significantly.
Get ready to capitalize on some late-round steals! We're offering a 100% deposit match of up to $100 on Underdog Fantasy for new accounts. Use Promocode: life to start drafting today!
In Segment 2, we'll contrast the top 100 players in Dwain McFarland's rankings vs. Underdog ADP. Key players under the lens include Austin Ekeler, Tony Pollard, Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian Watson, Travis Etienne, and many more!

Are you buying the offseason hype? | Hype Watch
The Fantasy Life Podcast is back, and Ian Hartitz & Chris Allen are here to ask the question" Are you buying the offseason hype?
We're talking about how Kincaid's move to WR could change the game for the Bills, and how it might just be the key to unlocking their offensive potential. GM Brandon Beane certainly thinks so, and we've got his inside scoop right here!
Looking at the Chiefs, we delve into Brett Veach's thoughts on Kadarius Toney's limitless game and how this could bring a new dynamic to the team. Are we back on the Toney WR1 zone? Stay tuned to find out!
We'll also be challenging the narrative around the Titans' slow start. With stats showing Tannehill's impressive performance since 2019, we're asking - where's the respect for our guy Tannehill?
Plus, get our take on the Ravens' offensive strategy for 2023 with Zay Flowers, the Rams' rookie RB Zach Evans, and Bruce Arians' thoughts on Baker Mayfield.
We also touch on Sam Howell's development in the Commanders, Chigoziem Okonkwo's expectations for the Titans, and Matt Maiocco's bold claim about Sam Darnold's talent.

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers
Welcome to the Fantasy Life podcast!
Today, Dwain & Ian do a deep dive into the world of NFL rookies! 🏈
In this episode, we unpack the fallout of the NFL Draft. We explore the post-draft risers and fallers, providing insight into those who scored good draft capital, landed in perfect spots, and have impressive production profiles.
Topics discussed:
TE Sam LaPorta has walked into a cake-walk depth chart and could be a major riser. Marvin Mims, despite facing a crowded WR room in Denver, has Round 2 draft capital we absolutely adore.
And we can't forget our FOUR risers at WR8, WR9, WR10, and WR11 in the rookie ranks, who are moving up thanks to their landing spots and draft capital. But how do their production profiles stack up?
Fallers on the other hand, include 3 WRs and 1 TE who stop aw their fortunes tumble after the draft. We’re dissecting the reasons behind their descent and what to expect in the upcoming season.
We’re also spotlighting the intriguing profiles of Jonathan Mingo, Jayden Reed, Rashee Rice, and Cedric Tillman, who've seen improved draft capital and good landing spots. But do their production profiles match up?
Don't miss the final takes from Dwain and Marcas as they analyze these rookies and make predictions for their impact in the upcoming season.
