Yahoo Fantasy Forecast: Draft Edition

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get to enjoy themselves, for a while, and talk about lessons learned at the WR position from the 2021-22 NFL season before having to talk about what happened to the TE position.They start at the top, with Justin Jefferson as WR1 and the lessons we can take away from his awesome season before wondering if he’d be the #1 WR picked next year or if Ja’Marr Chase is ready to pass him.After working their way through the top 12 WRs with lessons for each one of them, mostly that we should trust the talent and ignore everything else when it comes to elite WRs, the guys move on to trying to solve the TE position.Matt believes that this last season was an aberration for TEs and that they’ll come back to reality next year, while Dalton is more concerned about whether it’s (again) time for him to fade Travis Kielce.02:15 Lessons Learned: Wide Receiver06:40 Rookie WRs08:00 WR1 Justin Jefferson11:10 WR12 Ja’Marr Chase12:40 WR2 Tyreek Hill14:35 WR3 Davante Adams19:40 WR4 Stefon Diggs23:40 WR5 A.J.

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski go through the top 10 fantasy QBs for the 2022 NFL season and the lessons they learned along the way that will guide their fantasy football drafts in 2023.The guys talk about the steep cliff there was between the top 4 fantasy QBs this season and everyone else, making the argument against the popular “Late Round QB” strategy. They also discuss rushing QBs and whether they’re worth the injury risk to get the fantasy value from them.The top fantasy QB for the season was Patrick Mahomes, and most of the lessons learned are about how no other QB can justifiably be compared to him. However, there was plenty to learn from guys like Josh Allen (high floor), Jalen Hurts (influx in talent helps), Geno Smith (we should’ve seen it coming), Trevor Lawrence (coaching matters) and more.02:15 Late round QB?04:20 Steep cliff at QB in 202210:40 Rushing QBs15:10 Patrick Mahomes23:00 Josh Allen26:50 Jalen Hurts32:00 QB aging curve44:00 Joe Burrow46:15 Geno Smith50:45 Justin Fields54:15 Kirk Cousins55:45 Trevor Lawrence58:40 Daniel Jones61:10 Jared Goff63:25 Who should be the QB in SF?Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens get together to discuss what they learned, as fantasy football experts, about the running back position this past season and how they’ll use that knowledge to adjust how they handle it next season.The guys figured that the best way to talk themselves through the top RB lessons learned was to attach one lesson to each of the top 8 RBs in fantasy football last season, with a couple of overachievers added to the end.Find out why you shouldn’t talk about injuries when preparing for your fantasy football draft, why we should’ve seen Saquon Barkley’s big season coming, why Derrick Henry is just different than other RBs and why Andy Behrens might be the GOAT.05:45 Austin Ekeler11:50 Christian McCaffrey19:00 Josh Jacobs26:00 Derrick Henry32:00 Nick Chubb36:00 Saquon Barkley39:15 Tony Pollard43:25 Jamaal Williams49:05 2022 RB OverachieversCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don go through all 32 NFL teams in this podcast, with a fantasy football-relevant question for each one of them.This podcast is a riot, between Dalton’s aggravations over how the 49ers playoff run ended (and how fans are treating Trey Lance this offseason) and Matt going through the pros and cons of Aaron Rodgers’ darkness retreat, there are plenty of moments that will make you laugh out loud.Find out why Matt thinks the Falcons will be great for fantasy managers next season, who Dalton has picked for the Super Bowl (you won’t be able to guess either team), where the guys think Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr will be in 2023, whether Mike McDaniel was smoking weed on the sidelines of a playoff game and a lot more.03:10 Chicago Bears05:40 Houston Texans07:05 Arizona Cardinals09:15 Indianapolis Colts11:40 Denver Broncos14:35 Los Angeles Rams17:05 Las Vegas Raiders19:45 Atlanta Falcons24:20 Carolina Panthers25:30 Cleveland Browns27:10 New Orleans Saints29:00 New York Jets32:20 Tennessee Titans33:45 Green Bay Packers36:25 New England Patriots37:25 Tampa Bay Buccaneers38:50 Washington Commanders41:15 Detroit Lions43:55 Jacksonville Jaguars45:55 Miami Dolphins49:00 Pittsburgh Steelers51:30 Seattle Seahawks52:40 New York Giants54:30 Baltimore Ravens57:15 Los Angeles Chargers58:40 Dallas Cowboys59:50 Cincinnati Bengals62:30 Minnesota Vikings63:30 San Francisco 49ers69:30 Buffalo Bills70:30 Philadelphia Eagles74:00 Kansas City ChiefsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap the Kansas City Chiefs’ exciting 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, but the conversation pretty quickly turns to next year’s fantasy value for Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Travis Kielce, Isiah Pacheco, Miles Sanders and just about everyone else who played in this game.The guys start off by talking about the late-game penalty that kept the Eagles from being able to make a game-winning (or overtime-forcing) drive at the end of regulation, and the Eagles classy response to the flag, before turning their attention to the game and the talent on both of these rosters.Patrick Mahomes is on his way to becoming the best QB in the history of the league, the AFC is absolutely loaded, and the Eagles are still probably the most talented roster in the entire NFL. This may not be the last time we see either of these teams, or both of these teams, in the Super Bowl over the next few years.The guys have some fun conversations on if they’d rather have Mahomes or Hurts on their fantasy team next year, what the Eagles’ backfield could look like, how Ryan Tannehill must’ve felt watching A.J. Brown in the Super Bowl, and what lessons the rest of the NFL can take away in terms of drafting and developing QBs.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon returns, along with Charles McDonald, to talk about everything that is going on and has gone on over the last week.The guys kick things off by discussing the news, starting with a couple of NFL legends retiring (A.J. Green & Tom Brady) and ending with a bunch of new head coaches around the league (Frank Reich to the Panthers, Sean Payton to the Broncos, DeMeco Ryans to the Texans, etc.). They also dig in on some new coordinators, including Kellen Moore taking over the Chargers’ offense.Charles talks about what he liked and didn’t like while on the ground in Las Vegas for the Pro Bowl festivities before telling the story of why he wasn’t able to get into this year’s Shrine Bowl, but he’s not too high on this year’s draft class anyway.Matt and Charles then discuss some offseason and preseason takes on the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, and how both teams have made those takes look stupid in hindsight.Finally, we end with Charles reintroducing himself to Andy Reid and talking about Mac & cheese.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab break down both the AFC and NFC Championship games from over the weekend, talking about Brock Purdy’s injury in the 49ers loss and Patrick Mahomes playing through a high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to victory.The guys start by talking about the Philadelphia Eagles, who cruised to another easy win after their outstanding pass rush knocked both Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson out of the game, leaving the San Francisco 49ers without any options at QB.What are the Eagles’ offseason plans at RB? And is Brock Purdy a shoe-in to be the 49ers starting QB next season or could Tom Brady join this franchise?After that discussion, the guys talk about the officiating that ended the Cincinnati Bengals’ hopes against the Kansas City Chiefs and marvel at just how good Patrick Mahomes is.Finally, Scott and Frank give their very early Super Bowl picks against the spread and explain why they’re picking the teams they are.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

First up is 49ers at Eagles, a matchup of arguably the two best defenses and two of the best offenses in the NFL this season. This is the biggest test of rookie QB Brock Purdy, on the road against a great defense in the playoffs, and they’re all eager to see how he does.The guys finish off the episode by talking about Bengals at Chiefs, a surprisingly even matchup that centers around the health of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens recap the first 3 games of the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round, but not before having a debate over whether it is still considered the best weekend for football each year.They start off by talking about Patrick Mahomes, who fought his way through a high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. There’s a bigger challenge waiting for him in the Bengals next week, but maybe he just needed a good night of sleep?Andy and Matt agree that Jaguars fans should be happy with their team’s season and excited for what the next few years holds with this young, talented group.The Eagles absolutely overwhelmed the Giants, as many probably expected, but the Giants had a good season and now have some decisions to make about Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.Joe Burrow and the (underrated) Cincinnati Bengals played a near perfect game in the snow of Buffalo, while Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs struggled to carry the rest of the Bills further in the playoffs.Finally, Dalton Del Don takes Andy’s spot to give us a boots on the ground report from the 49ers’ win over the Dallas Cowboys.04:00 Chiefs 27, Jaguars 2017:55 Eagles 38, Giants 730:05 Bengals 27, Bills 1049:25 49ers 19, Cowboys 12Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/
