Adam Harstad has finished his post-rookie-year-WR prospect model and we break down the list of 19 receivers from the 2023 class who made the model, including a Packer you'd expect and one you wouldn't.  Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. Topic   Here's every 2023 rookie with at least 250 routes in all their glorious splendor. I did cheat a little to get Mims on here: he only had 245 routes (although he did miss a game). We had 19 (officially 18) qualifiers, which is demented. Previous record was 15 in 2014 (natch). pic.twitter.com/RxWg53DMz1 — Adam Harstad (@AdamHarstad) January 11, 2024 And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2024 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95–currently available for $19.95 via early-bird discount that runs through December 21, 2023.   Matt’s new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you’re a fantasy GM interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2023 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.

On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss an RB and WR who might be safer than their likely draft capital, the buzz rollercoaster that is Keon Coleman, Michael Penix's punishing career, and the futures of Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel.  After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don’t often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL’s disparities with 40 times and several more ’23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen. Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the player at the bottom of the page, or download the podcast at most outlets, including Google, Spotify, and iTunes. This Week’s Topics Is Bill Belichick's future in the front office or on the field? Why the Titans screwed up with Mike Vrabel. Brandon's pick for safest RB in the draft and why Matt sees similarities to a pair of Ravens. Is Kyren Williams' archetype about to become the NFL norm for running backs? Why do some breakaway RBs often encounter more difficulties adapting to the NFL than slower RBs? Profiling FSU WR Keon Coleman, his potential fit in the NFL, and the rollercoaster of takes surrounding his game. Which WR in this draft class is seen as a gadget player but is getting underrated because gadgets have proven to be overrated? Did Michigan reveal that Michael Penix, Jr. has taken too much punishment at Indiana before transferring to Washington and it may be too difficult for him to overcome in the NFL?

Topics Is the NFL game beginning to favor smaller RBs and is this even new? Why the NFL game vacillates between system-dominant and talent-dominant eras. The fallacy of the label "system quarterback." Is Lamar Jackson more of a system quarterback than Brock Purdy? Why that's not a knock on either player.

On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss what several elite NFL players have in common as movers and decision-makers, why Malik Nabers is more NFL-ready than Marvin Harrison, Jr., and a preview of next week's show on the impact NIL will have on the NFL long-term.  Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He’s also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation.

The dynamics of controlled pacing. A film breakdown of James Cook showing his pacing control in college. Why smaller backs may be the immediate future for the NFL. Why Marvin Harrison, Jr. is a strong prospect but the expectations are too high for his immediate impact. Why Malik Nabers should be earning the expectations Harrison has earned. How NIL deals will impact the NFL and may influence more player development in the league and an NBA one-and-done rule.
