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.

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. The NIL's potential impact on NFL player development. The hypocrisy of liking the NFL and hating college football but not caring about the contradiction.

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. 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. https://youtu.be/ynOBe27N-t4 This Week’s Topics Controlled Pacing: What Lamar Jackson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, and James Cook have in common. 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.

Adam Harstad examined production among older NFL players and he's stumbled upon a "What" without a "Why." He and Matt Waldman discuss on this week's RSP Film and Theory.  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 I'll let Adam Harstad's intro from his Footballguys feature, Dynasty, In Theory, do the job of teeing up this week's topic: For a long time, it was taken as an article of faith that advancements in training, nutrition, and medical science (as well as an increased focus on player health and safety) would extend careers. And a few high-profile outliers likely convinced many that that was taking place. Tom Brady won an MVP at age 40 and was a second-team All-Pro at 44. Travis Kelce is likely to make his ninth straight Pro Bowl at age 34 and is a good bet to earn his fifth first-team All-Pro while he's at it. Adrian Peterson had 1200 scrimmage yards at 33, 1000 scrimmage yards at 34, and even recorded a 100-yard effort in his first game with a new team at age 35. Frank Gore started 14 games at 37. But outliers have always existed. Marcus Allen logged 1100 scrimmage yards at age 35 and 36 back in the '90s. John Riggins logged 380 touches and was a first-team All Pro at age 34 in the '80s. Joe Perry was a regular starter to age 35 back in the '60s. Y.A. Tittle won an MVP at age 37 back in 1963. Don Maynard, Charlie Joiner, and Jerry Rice set standards for longevity in the '70s, '80s, '90s, and '00s. The best way to track longevity is not through the single oldest player at a given position but through the prevalence of old players in general. And on that count, the last decade has been one of the worst in history. 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.
