Tom Brady is back again, but what is the status on Gronk? Mike Evans looks poised for another top-10 WR finish, and is Leonard Fournette a top-5 back? Chris Godwin is still rehabbing from an ACL tear in January, so is where should fantasy managers target him in redraft leagues if he misses a few games to start the season?Next, they discuss the New Orleans Saints [26 MIN] and how the loss of Sean Payton may impact Jameis Winston. Alvin Kamara's legal situation remains in flux, so is there value in targeting Jarvis Landry (ADP WR50), Chris Olave (ADP WR45), or Michael Thomas? Oh, and fade Adam Trautman because it's Adam Trautman. And what about the Carolina Panthers [45 MIN]. Sam "Damn!"

AFC South Fantasy Football Preview
Action Network fantasy football experts Chris Raybon and Sean "The Oddsmaker" Koerner are back to deliver an eight-part series, breaking down each team by division for the upcoming 2022 NFL season. They'll evaluate fantasy-relevant players' average draft position plus any potential sleepers or bust candidates to get you prepped for best ball and redraft leagues.This week, the duo covers the AFC South and starts things off with Indianapolis Colts. Matt Ryan, aka Matty Ice, is now the starting QB [2 MIN] and looks like he's more equipped offensively than in years past. In most formats, Jonathan Taylor remains the RB1, but will Michael Pittman shine as the WR1? Who will win out between Parris Campbell and rookie Alec Pierce? Are the comps to Jordy Nelson justified? Next, they discuss the Tennessee Titans [18 MIN] and whether now might be the time to fade Derrick Henry at age 27, coming off an injury-plagued 2021 season. QB Ryan Tannehill is without A.J. Brown now, so how is his outlook with rookie Treylon Burks potentially stepping into the WR1 role? Is the addition of veteran WR Robert Woods enough to keep Tannehill's draft stock alive?And what about the Urban Meyer-less Jacksonville Jaguars [31 MIN]. Does Trevor Lawrence have some appeal as a low-end QB1 with rushing upside? The RB room looks bleak, and Travis Ettiene has emerged as the lead back. Is he a sleeper worth paying up for? Christian Kirk got the BAG. But will free agent WR Zay Jones be a valuable option that could cut into Kirks' production? They close things out with the lowly Houston Texans [45 MIN]. Davis Mills is the likely starter which should bode well for WR Brandin Cooks. However, will Rex Burkhead and Marlon Mack battle it out for RB1 duties? Or will the rookie Dameon Pierce be worth a flier to overtake them on the depth chart? Make sure to subscribe, rate, and review to hear each division in this eight-part series.

They'll evaluate fantasy-relevant players' average draft position plus any potential sleepers or bust candidates to get you prepped for best ball and redraft leagues.This week the duo is covering the NFC West and start things off with the reigning champs.

Will Matt Stafford struggle after losing some big-name targets?Next, they discuss the San Fransisco 49ers [20:25] and question what the hell is going on at the QB position. Jimmy Garapalo is still on the roster so what does that do for Trey Lance's value? Also, can Debo Samuel have another breakout year despite the offseason back-and-forth with the Niners head office? Later, Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals [47:20]. How does Murray skipping out on OTAs due to contract negotiations impact his value? Plus, Deandre Hopkins is suspended for six games so what should you do there? Will the addition of Marqueese Brown amount to anything significant? They close things out with the Seattle Seahawks [01:07:05]. Will it be Drew Lock's squad or is Geno Smith taking the starting QB spot? Could they get Baker Mayfield or Jimmy G to lead them or are they set just rebuilding from where they're at? Where is Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcaff's value with the uncertainty at QB?

AFC West Fantasy Football Preview
Action Network fantasy football experts Chris Raybon and Sean "The Oddsmaker" Koerner are back to deliver an eight-part series, breaking down each team by division for the upcoming 2022 NFL season. They'll evaluate fantasy-relevant players' average draft position plus any potential sleepers or bust candidates to get you prepped for best ball and redraft leagues. Raybon and Koerner kick things off with the loaded AFC West division and the Denver Broncos (01:00). Will Russ cook, or does his value stay neutral in his new home? And is Tim Patrick (WR69, nice) the sleeper to target out of the trio of wideouts in Denver?Next, the Chargers (21:00) have one of the best QB's in the game in Justin Herbert but is he worth an early round selection at QB4? And what about Keenan Allen - is he a top-12 option again in 2022? Mike Williams is listed as WR17 currently -- is this bold or justified? He might be a strong best ball target, but buyer beware in redraft formats.Onto the Chiefs (43:00) and newly acquired WR1 JuJu Smith-Schuster. Is he being undervalued at WR27, or is that about right? It's probably time to move on from CEH, but with Ronald Jones' fumbling and injury history, should fantasy managers go back to the well?Lastly, the Las Vegas Raiders (58:00) tooled up and acquired Davante Adams from the Packers. Is he still a top-4 receiver, and what should you expect from other pass catchers like Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow? Can Josh Jacobs become Josh McDaniels' new version of LaGarrette Blount?This and a lot more on the AFC West Fantasy Preview. The duo will be back next week so continue to tap in!
