Fantasy Football Podcast: RotoUnderworld Radio - Mind of Mansion Ep 411: The Podfather Matt Kelley (@Fantasy_Mansion) and Kevin Cole (@Cole_Kev) insist Andrew Luck has assumed his position as the most overrated quarterback in the NFL. I love this new NFL. Is football better off with less vicious defense and more scoring? Why should more teams go for two like the Eagles last week? Is it a fallacy that the run sets up the pass in the NFL? 50% run - 50% pass is considered balanced. That’s 50% stupid. How successful would Mike Leach be as an nfl offensive coordinator? Are we in the midst of an analytics Renaissance in the NFL? If you had to pick an arbitrary percentage, how much more optimal are NFL play calls in 2018 vs. 2017? Does running back matter? Do the Eagles need to trade for an RB? Pick one: Smallwood or Clement? Who were the two biggest surprises when you finished your NFL Power Rankings: https://twitter.com/Cole_Kev/status/1049399393152106499 How much better would the Browns be with Sashi? GAME: Overrated Who is the most overrated QB in the NFL? Who is the most overrated RB in the NFL? Who is the most overrated WR in the NFL? Who is the most overrated TE in the NFL? Zach Ertz is a better fantasy option than Rob Gronkowski this season. Next Marshall Faulk: Christian McCaffrey or Alvin Kamara? How did so many teams miss on Patrick Mahomes? Is Derek Carr actually poor in the red zone. Davante Adams is still underrated. Better back: Carlos Hyde or Isaiah Crowell? Austin Ekeler is better than Danny Woodhead. Will Green Bay ever commit to Aaron Jones? Is Tre'Quan Smith going to have a better career than Calvin Ridley? Will Russell Wilson ever be fully unlocked? Is David Moore for real? Jalen Richard is the most underrated RB in the NFL. Who is the most underrated WR in the NFL? More explosive, high upside prospect: Nick Chubb or Sony Michel? Eagles are implying running back doesn't matter. Ready to trust Mitchell Trubisky this week? C.J. Prosise needs to be freed. Deshaun Watson can lead the Texans to a Super Bowl.

Fantasy Football Podcast: RotoUnderworld Radio Ep 306: The Podfather Matt Kelley (@Fantasy_Mansion) and Kevin Cole (@Cole_Kev) provide fantasy football forecasts for Eric Decker and Jeremy Maclin in 2017. Christian McCaffrey is an exceptional dynasty running back who is being drafted out of his depth in seasonal leagues. Cam Newton is the singular exception to the Late Round Quarterback rule. Brandin Cooks' ADP is a mistake. Tevin Coleman is a franchise cornerstone running back. Melvin Gordon is melting predictive running back models. Most likely to fail in 2017: Tyreek Hill or Quincy Enunwa? Robby Anderson is the perfect complement to Quincy Enunwa as an explosive field stretcher for the New York Jets. A newfound appreciation for Doug Baldwin and Russell Wilson. J.J. Nelson's path to a breakout season is surprisingly clear given his late-round ADP and a likely Carson Palmer resurgence in 2017. By drafting Deshaun Watson, did the Texans doom Will Fuller and Wendall Williams forever? An unfortunate case for JuJu Smith-Schuster in 2017. Is the the year to finally draft Adrian Peterson? DeAngelo Henderson has the necessary talent profile and the soft depth chart to be a fantasy football factor in 2017. Is Kenny Golladay officially overhyped? Mike Williams is one of the most obvious bust candidates in the history of overrated first round wide receivers.
