Which players have risen for these guys based on their projections (12:50)? How do we project the Eagles offense (14:30)? What do you need to know about RPOs (run/pass options) and why they matter for wide receiver production? And how much does a mobile quarterback affect WR production (24:00)? We've got fascinating statistics to tell you about! ... Should we just avoid the Ravens WRs (32:30)? Who is the next Jalen Hurts (37:05)? Who is the next Tony Pollard?

Let's start with Seattle (7:05) where Ken Walker is being drafted much earlier than Zach Charbonnet but we like the value on Charbonnet. And in Detroit (13:35), we don't see this backfield battle the way others in the industry do ... Are any of the Bears RBs (19:15) worth drafting before pick 100? Is D'Andre Swift overrated in Philadelphia (22:46)? Should DeVon Achane be the first Dolphins RB selected (28:35)? Then we finish up with 8 more backfield battles (31:10) including the Bills, Broncos, Packers, Saints and Commanders ... It's time for Fantasy Jeopardy (42:15)! Can Dan Schneier give us a decent effort or will Heath continue his Jeopardy dominance? ...

Three QBs made the cut and that's where we'll start. Also, two of the best RBs from 2022 find themselves outside the Top 12 (5:25). Is that justified? ... A quick look at the news and notes (12:30) and then it's back to the rankings beginning with a Josh Jacobs vs. Tony Pollard debate (17:15). The touches should definitely favor Jacobs, so why are people higher on Pollard? Then we look at three WRs being drafted right after those RBs (25:30): Davante Adams, Amon-Ra St. Brown and A.J. Brown ... How high should Nick Chubb go in drafts (30:30)? Could he have his best season yet? After Chubb, it's (37:05) Garrett Wilson, Derrick Henry and Jaylen Waddle followed by the QBs (44:00). Which QB is the safest? ...

Should we just take Stefon Diggs ahead of those RBs (45:05)? Does CeeDee Lamb deserve to be a first round pick (52:05) ahead of Davante Adams and a few others? ...
