Marcas Grant, Michael F. Florio, and LaQuan Jones are back with a jam‑packed episode that blends Opening Day excitement with a deep dive into the NFL’s most intriguing offseason storylines. The guys kick things off by discussing Joe Flacco’s return to Cincinnati and what his re‑signing means for the Bengals’ offense — and your fantasy rosters. From there, the crew tackles one of the league’s biggest issues: the ongoing quarterback development problem. That conversation sets the stage for a full fantasy draft wish‑list breakdown, starting with rising prospect Francisco Mendoza and continuing through detailed evaluations of prospects Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar, Jeremiah Love, Jadarian Price, and Mike Washington Jr. The guys then turn their attention to the top wide receivers in this year’s draft class. They close the show by examining the growing impact of rookie tight ends and why this year’s class could be especially fantasy‑relevant.

Marcas Grant, Michael F. Florio, and LaQuan Jones start the show by considering the career of former Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and whether he is a fantasy football hall of famer.

Then they are joined by Next Gen Stats research analyst James Reber to discuss two emerging NFL trends that could affect fantasy football going forward: the increased rate of tight end chip blocks and the greater prevalence of two-high safety coverages.

James explains why chip blocking has become more common, shares the tight ends that catch the most passes off of chip blocks, and discusses which tight ends might return extra value in fantasy based on this trend.

Then James dives into the data on two-high safety coverages and reveals which wide receivers are the best at breaking down these types of defensive looks.
