Lindsay Rhodes & Sam Brucchaus are joined by Super Producer, Matt Stopsky, to discuss the NFL schedule release, bye-weeks, rest differential and the future of NFL media.

Sam and Lindsay take a team-by-team approach to evaluating potential fantasy contributors- with depth charts, draft investment and talent evaluation in mind (mostly, in that order.) Ultimately, they’re not sure the “best” players in the draft are all in a position to be the best “fantasy producers” in 2025. Hear who they like more- and less- than consensus… and why. (Mason Taylor?!) Plus… deep sleeper names to keep an eye on in training camp. Note: teams are discussed in alphabetical order by team name (not city) in case you’re looking for thoughts on a particular team or player (Bears-> Vikings.)
