We take a break this week to discuss the NFL Hall of Fame and its 2024 finalists.  There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry.

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 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?
