With the NFL preseason underway, it’s time to talk some Fantasy football, so on the most recent episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Football Podcast, we were pleased to welcome Colin Gorini to the show. He’s a relative newcomer to the Fantasy community, but will likely soon be making waves with his Fantasy football site, WAGMI.

Colin recently released his 2022 Fantasy football rankings, so we spent the show discussing his process, some surprises and some sleepers and busts at each position.

Among the topics we went over were:

• Are Josh Allen‘s projections too conservative?
• Is Carolina’s QB carousel done, or will Sam Darnold channel his early 2021 performance and threaten Baker Mayfield‘s claim to the job?
• Does Malik Willis have a chance to earn some PT this season?
• How a thick skin is necessary for “Fantasy experts” that put their thoughts on social media.
• Cooper Kupp vs. Justin Jefferson for WR1: is it a coinflip?
• With all the mouths to feed among the Tampa Bay receiving corps, the numbers could get thinned out; and
• How excited we are about what Cole Kmet‘s target share will be in Chicago.

Listen to the complete analysis here…

RotoRob Tune of the Day

American rock band Eagles formed in 1971, disbanded in 1980 and then regrouped in 1994 until 2016, and then again in 2017 to present. Their eponymous debut in 1972 included the top 20 hit, “Take It Easy,” a true country rock classic which was co-written by Jackson Browne.

After posting the NFL’s seventh-best rushing offense in 2020, the Arizona Cardinals slipped to 10th last year — certainly not a major collapse, but one that gives pause to ask whether it will bounce back this season. more

Similar to Willis, Pickett is ready to start on a pro team for our money, but where he lands will dictate his Fantasy value. If Pickett winds up in Seattle, for instance, his ability to pass the ball downfield would work perfectly with the Seahawks’ compliment of receivers (what sounds better: Lock to Lockett or Pickett to Lockett?). Pickett has the tools to lead an NFL team to a winning record and the size to be a viable pocket presence, capable of flawlessly throwing the ball wherever he needs to. more

In a matchup of two teams that have never won a championship, the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday evening in Super Bowl LVI. These two teams are fairly evenly matched on offense, with both teams featuring much better passing than rushing attacks. more

While the Bills lick their wounds and the rest of us prepare for Conference Finals weekend, let’s flash forward to the offseason and identify a few players that Fantasy owners would be prudent to target before the start of the 2022 NFL season. more
