Episode 38: Divisional Game Previews

Scott Spratt is joined by FTN colleague Jeremy Popielarz to discuss the top running back, wide receiver, and tight end prospects for the 2023 NFL draft. They debate whether Bijan Robinson is a generational prospect or propped up by a thinner than usual running back class, how to balance the receiving value of smaller backs like Jahmyr Gibbs and Devon Achane with the potential workload advantages of bigger backs like Zach Charbonnet, how to rank the top receiver prospects, whether the smaller receivers like Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers are as valuable in fantasy as their likely real NFL draft value, whether it helps or hurts Dalton Kincaid's fantasy value that he is maybe too small to block in-line, and much more.Follow Scott on Twitter @Scott_Spratt—⬇ Promo code "SPRATT" for 20% off!💰🤑 https://www.ftndaily.com/pricing🤑 https://www.ftnfantasy.com/pricing🤑 https://www.ftnbets.com/pricing—🏈 🏀 ⚾ 🏒 ⛳ 🎾 ⚽Looking for a new place to bet?

Scott Spratt is joined by writer and draft expert Derrik Klassen of Bleacher Report and The New York Times to discuss the top quarterback prospects for the 2023 NFL draft (2:24). They get into whether C.J. Stroud is propped up by easy, wide-open throws at Ohio State and whether his rushing outburst against Georgia points to more running in the NFL (3:30), whether Bryce Young is too slight to avoid injuries or too short to work the middle of the field (12:11), whether Anthony Richardson is as physically gifted as his reputation and whether his historically low college completion rate and single season as a starter are concerning (22:23), and whether Will Levis can blame his leg injury and a mess of a Kentucky offense for his step back in 2022 and whether his older age limits his pro ceiling (33:03). Finally, Derrik explains who he believes should be the No. 1 pick and why he doesn't expect the Panthers to make that pick (42:30).Follow Scott on Twitter @Scott_Spratt—⬇ Promo code "SPRATT" for 20% off!💰🤑 https://www.ftndaily.com/pricing🤑 https://www.ftnfantasy.com/pricing🤑 https://www.ftnbets.com/pricing—🏈 🏀 ⚾ 🏒 ⛳ 🎾 ⚽Looking for a new place to bet?
