It's a great time of year for player evaluation! We know very little about how NFL teams will look by the time August gets here, so we can focus on what players do well, and how we think their results might improve in 2023. Today we'll count down five players who have a chance to "jump levels" this season! Plus a review of rookie Commanders receiver Jahan Dotson, and some chatter about the immediate futures of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Guest: Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Fantasy.

Some big skill-position names could be headed for the salary-cap chopping block this winter. Players like Dalvin Cook, Aaron Jones and Mike Evans could wind up on different teams in 2023 over money. On today's show, we'll evaluate what it would mean if cap-strapped teams pull the trigger on such transactions: ramifications for the players and for the team's they'd leave behind. We'll also break down the rookie tape of Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier, and talk about the Steelers and Chargers decisions on their offensive coaching staffs. Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo! Fantasy.

Some fantasy weapons posted weird statistical seasons in 2022! A few guys whose film we like had an inordinate number of touchdowns on less-than-scintillating usage. Some were allergic to the end zone. Some spiked their production toward the end of the season. Today we'll confront the statistical realities on some 2022 fantasy football anomalies, and decide whether we think they can repeat their production in 2023 or even vastly improve upon it. We'll also look at the current NFL coaching vacancies, and discuss the potential for a DeAndre Hopkins trade. Guest: Jake Ciely of The Athletic.

We've reached the end of the 2022 fantasy football season, and it's time to hand out the hardware. We've got postseason awards for Fantasy MVP, Fantasy LVP and more, plus we'll look back on some of our best and worst calls from '22. And because the season ended so strangely, we'll also discuss possible ways forward for fantasy leagues whose championship games were interrupted. And then we'll end the whole thing with a Super-Cut of the entire season, replete with goofball moments from the show and the best mixtapes we got all year. Guest: Cousin Josh.

The NFL world was rocked Monday night with a terrible injury to Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin, causing the postponement of a very fun NFL matchup, and causing us all to grapple with our fandom. We'll talk about that a bit to begin today's podcast, and then we'll discuss an appropriate topic: players we love. Not necessarily players we think will become superstars or major fantasy weapons...simply players who bring us joy when we watch them on film. And joy feels in short supply at the moment, so hopefully we can bring a smile to your face in a difficult time. Guest: Chris Raybon of the Action Network.
