The first week of the playoffs has come and gone. We kick off this week talking about guys we now realize we were too high or too low on coming into the playoffs, but have since changed our mind.

For our final division preview, we are joined by special guest Justin Mandaro (@Jman_FF, CantCutList.com) to cover his Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFC East. We kick off the episode debating between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys for who will take the division crown. For our Mental Health Minute, Justin shares his idea of meditation and that it doesn't necessarily need to be meditation. Then we jump to our preview of the AFC North. Dak Prescott hugely outperformed his ADP last season, but is it him or Carson Wentz who has the best chance to finish as the QB1? Plus, is Daniel Jones' early-season schedule enough to avoid him at his current ADP? As we move on to RBs, we obviously discuss Miles Sanders and rehash some old arguments, while diving into the injury enigma that is Derrius Guice. Plus, we share our love for Terry McLaurin, who is set to make a major breakout in 2020! Finally, Evan Engram has been near-elite when on the field, so does that make him worth drafting in the middle rounds? Tune in to find out! Please consider donating to NAMI with us to support and advocate for mental health. https://gf.me/u/ybqwd6 Twitter: @PodAfterTD @SamHoppen @AndrewMackens @Garnther

For our Mental Health Minute, JJ shares how he exercises, spends time with his daughter, and taking things day-by-day to maintain a healthy mental state. Then we jump to our preview of the AFC North. Lamar Jackson was the most polarizing player in football last year, but how early should we be drafting him? Plus, as his namesake suggests, we talk about some other late round QB options in the division with Mr. Late Round QB himself! As we move on to RBs, we discuss which of James Connor or Mark Ingram is most likely to be the starter all year and whether Joe Mixon has hit his ceiling. We also debate if the Steelers' passing game can bounce back after a terrible 2019 campaign. Finally, how will the Ravens passing attack split between Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown, and the rest of the receiving corps? Tune in to find out!

This episode we preview the AFC South with special guest Paul Lundgaard (@PauliesSleepers, CantCutList.com) to cover his Indianapolis Colts. We kick off the episode making our case for who we think will win the contested division this year. For our Mental Health Minute, Paulie shares how he values face to face conversations and they help him maintain a healthy mental state. Then we jump to our preview of the AFC South. Deshaun Watson reigns as the top QB target in the division, so we debate which of the other three we would pick up if we're waiting for a late round QB. As we transition to RBs, Paulie gives us a really good breakdown for the value of the Colts investment in Jonathan Taylor and how we can expect the Jaguars to use Leonard Fournette. We also go over the litany of WRs the Texans have and if we can expect any fantasy relevance from them or who might be worth that potential super late flyer pick. Andrew entices Paulie to compliment Jonnu Smith, but not before Paulie lets us know why we need to keep an eye out for Jack Doyle this year.

Today we are joined by our next esteemed guest, Mike Tagliere (@MikeTagliereNFL, FantasyPros.com), to talk about his Chicago Bears and the NFC North. We kick off the episode pondering who we think can win the division this year. For our Mental Health Minute, Mike shares how reading is important to him and helps him maintain a healthy mental state. Then we jump to our preview of the NFC North. We contemplate if Aaron Rodgers has enough left in the tank to remain an elite fantasy QB option, and if Matthew Stafford can maintain his scoring pace from last year. Mike shares some great stats and facts about David Montgomery and why he's a steal with his current ADP. Then we run through the power of the NFC North WR1s (Adams, Golladay, Robinson, Thielen) and ask which of them has the biggest bust potential in 2020. The one thing the division seems to be missing is a productive fantasy TE, but are Irv Smith or Jace Sternberger worth keeping an eye on?

Then we jump to our preview of the NFC West. We start with the "simple" question "Russel Wilson or Kylar Murray?". Additionally, we discuss which RB from the Rams or 49ers has currently has the best value at their ADP.

We cover it all including who is the AFC West QB you should be drafting (besides Mahomes), is Melvin Gordon meant to be a 3-down back in Denver or will he have a reduced workload, are the Chargers' WRs currently over valued or undervalued, and just how great is Darren Waller's potential?

Twitter: @PodAfterTD @SamHoppen @AndrewMackens @Garnther
