Pre-Combine Film Analysis with Nick Whalen
SummaryOn this episode of The Most Accurate Podcast, Nick Whalen joins Greg to weigh in on the key storylines entering the 2020 NFL Combine. They begin by discussing news around a few prominent veterans and the impending free agent quarterback carousel, then dive into the combine and 2020 rookie class. Nick outlines the most important aspects of the combine relative to his film based analysis before digging in deeper to the nuances of that process of grinding tape. How much of a difference does one year of age make? How much value should fantasy owners assign to pass-catching ability from running backs? How important are special teams contributions? How does one stay objective in the face of the variability of schemes, supporting casts, strengths of schedule, etc. in the college game? How can we sniff out and avoid "combine warriors?" Tune in for a glimpse into the mind of Mr. Whalen, and stick around for his top-12 rookie rankings leading into next week's underwear olympics.

SummaryOn this episode of The Most Accurate Podcast, Jennifer Eakins joins Greg to recap Week 15 and work the Week 16 waiver wire in the hopes of taking down some 2019 fantasy football championships. As usual, the previous week's review hits on booms and busts of the week, featuring Miles Sanders, Breshad Perriman, Julian Edelman, Amari Cooper, and LeSean McCoy among others.

The show wraps up with discussion around the mantra of "Always Start Your Studs" (with some picks from Jen and Greg of "studs" to bench and "scrubs" to start in Week 16), plus some back-and-forth between your hosts about the biggest decision points they face in fantasy's final week. It's all geared to help you take home the title in your league. Tune in and enjoy the show.The show is brought to you by FantasyDraft.

Week 14 Recap & Week 15 Waivers with Holden Kushner
SummaryOn this episode of The Most Accurate Podcast, Holden Kushner joins Greg to recap Week 14 and work the Week 15 waiver wire en route to glory in the 2019 fantasy football playoffs. Their booms of the week kick things off. Holden laments the loss of Calvin Ridley while celebrating the ascension of Ian Thomas, and Greg wonders if he can run back Joe Mixon against New England next week. Ryan Tannehill also went boom, but he did so from Greg's bench. Was the benching process sound, though? Greg argues that touchdown regression could still be on the table for Tannehill going forward. Busts of the week come next, featuring Jack Doyle and Brandin Cooks, but also with hat tips to the inactive Josh Jacobs and the laundry list of players who ended up injured on Sunday. The second half of the show is a breakdown of the Week 15 waiver wire. Should Raheem Mostert or DeAndre Washington be the top priority at running back? Are Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson, and Patrick Laird even worth additions considering their poor offensive situations? Why aren't Zach Pascal and A.J. Brown already owned in more leagues? Did Week 14's injuries to Mike Evans and DeVante Parker create more opportunity at wide receiver in Tampa or Miami? Speaking of the Bucs, is O.J. Howard finally back on the fantasy radar? Can Case Keenum salvage Terry McLaurin's value? Who are the top streaming options at quarterback and defense? What other lingering questions and difficult decisions will keep Greg and Holden up at night as Week 15 approaches?
