Jordan Reed-ing Is Fundamental (Guest: Scott Barrett)

We are knee-deep in fantasy draft season, and many of you still have drafts ahead, so host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) brings in fantasy analyst extraordinaire Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB) of Pro Football Focus this week to discuss a long laundry list of players. Pat and Scott start by talking about the fallout from the season-ending injury to Marqise Lee and which receiver figures to take over as the top target in the Jacksonville passing game. After a brief conversation about standard vs. PPR scoring formats, Scott goes over a few decisions that gave him trouble when putting together his rankings, including Saquon Barkley vs. Melvin Gordon, Christian McCaffrey vs. Leonard Fournette, and Stefon Diggs vs. Adam Thielen. A lot of people think Tarik Cohen could take flight this year under new Bears head coach Matt Nagy, but Scott explains why he’s fading Cohen and buying Jordan Howard. There’s also some discussion about oldsters Eli Manning and Frank Gore, plus some chatter about Marqise Goodwin, Kenny Stills, Chris Godwin, Jordan Reed and Ricky Seals Jones. Scott talks about his transition to full-time fantasy work and whether he bothers putting on pants when he starts work these days, and then Scott discusses a few of the players he’s been targeting and avoiding in his own drafts.
