Matt Waldman's RSP Cast

On episode three of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss the rise of Tyjae Spears, the fall of Trey Lance, a new setting for Matt Corral, preseason movers and shakers, and notable cuts and signings to NFL practice squads.  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. This Week’s Topics Tyjae Spears' preseason performance What it means for the Titans short-term and long-term. Thoughts on Malik Willis and Will Levis. What it means for Spears' fantasy value in re-draft and dynasty. Trey Lance What went wrong and why there may be a Cold War between head coach and GM in San Francisco. What the 49ers should have done. Lance's outlook in Dallas Matt Corral: Talent assessment, fit in NE, and why the Patriots will give us a quick answer about Corral's potential. Notable preseason movers: DeMario Douglas, Tyler Scott, Chris Evans, Chris Brooks, Jaleel McLaughlin, Erik Ezukanma, Patrick Taylor, and Rakim Jarrett. Notable practice squad additions and team cuts: Elijah Higgins, Zonovan Knight, Deneric Prince, Hassan Hall, and Myles Gaskin. https://youtu.be/8sJ0jS3Pk44 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 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt’s new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2022 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.   If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2022 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.

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. Topics How fantasy GMs are mishandling the Jonathan Taylor situation. Why trades before the season can be predatory and unproductive. Don't write off NFL players sent to the practice squad. Why a balanced roster may not be as much of a strength as you think. Strategic thoughts on the Footballguys Subscriber Contest.

Campus to Canton’s Felix Sharpe joins Matt Waldman’s RSP Cast for a conversation about 2023 college football sleepers, NFL analysis points that are worthwhile and fraudulent, and our significant hits-misses with scouting college talent for the pros.  Every other week, Felix will be joining me to discuss college football talent, many of them underclassmen (Devy).

Waldman shares eight points of analysis that support many arguments made for preseason performance and tells you which four are worthwhile and which four are not. Hits and Misses: Reggie Bush, Bryon Leftwich, Titus Young, and Hakeem Butler headline the players we were over the moon about as college performers. We discuss where it went wrong and what we learned from the experience.

Do you think Jackson will always be underestimated because his career narrative and outlier approach to his career lends to doubt?
