Cam Newton's Fantasy Value with Alex Gelhar
SummaryOn this episode of The Most Accurate Podcast, Alex Gelhar joins Greg for a grab bag of fantasy football topics.

2020 Tight End Position ADP Rankings Review
Let's talk tight ends! Is the position top-heavy again this year or is there value to be had in the later rounds? Is it worthwhile to draft a stud tight end in the first three rounds?

Will there be enough targets for Hooper in Cleveland so he can maintain his value? What should owners expect from Gronk after a year off? Is Blake Jarwin's breakout canceled after the Cowboys' drafted CeeDee Lamb? Was Mike Gesicki's late-season production a sign of things to come? Can Jonnu Smith step into the No. 2 receiving role in Tennessee's run-heavy offense? Can Ian Thomas capitalize on Greg Olsen's departure? Will Chris Herndon pick up where he left off after a good rookie season? John and Anthony discuss these topics (and more) on the latest episode of The Most Accurate Podcast.
