Matt Waldman's Rsp Cast

On the first episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss the hidden obstacles for NFL success, second-year players poised to make a leap, and the state of Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals. https://youtu.be/VVc2Q3EAMnA Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He’s also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation. After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don’t often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL’s disparities with 40 times and several more ’23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen. Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the

A weekly phone conversation between fantasy veterans Bob Harris and Matt Waldman is a quick and dirty run-down of NFL players, units, or teams. https://youtu.be/Qq_djRYUBxk Topics Is Jordan Love more prepared to take Packers' reins than Aaron Rodgers was? Is Kellen Moore right that the Chargers' offense will be better than the Cowboys? Is Courtland Sutton's film study of Michael Thomas going to pay off for him as a fantasy asset? Is Tim Patrick the best football player on the Broncos' wide receiver corps? Are we feeling the cheaper assets in the Broncos' WR room over Jerry Jeudy? Are we feeling Jonathan Mingo and Terrace Marshall because they are spring standouts? Does the promise of Raheem Blackshear's role in the receiving game put a damper on Miles Sanders'  fantasy prospects? Is the positive buzz on Dameon Pierce enough to dim concerns about Devin Singletary's role? Do we feel differently about DeVante Parker after he signed a deal potentially worth $33 million? Can Mike Evans have

Fantasy Life's Dwain McFarland makes a return visit for an RSP Film and Data podcast covering players who, relative to ADP, we're much higher, lower, and uncertain about.    https://youtu.be/RDQ8LDUBev0 Our good friend Dwain McFarland returns to the confines of the RSP cast for another fun conversation about fantasy football. This week, we spent 90 minutes sharing players we value differently than the current ADP. Dwain is coming around on Nick Chubb as a top-five back this year. Matt remains bullish on Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a Kupp-like option in Seattle. Dwain is high on Christian Watson and hopes Matt will talk him down. Matt believes Sam LaPorta will earn enough perimeter targets that concerns about Amon-Ra St. Brown's presence are overblown. Does Dwain agree? A certain AFC South receiver is one of Dwain's most drafted players this summer. Even if Kadarius Toney doesn't earn the traditional primary route-running role in Kansas City, Matt believes Toney has a strong shot at a WR2 floor. Who

Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. Topics Why Adam uses ADP as his fantasy rankings? Why Adam's use of ADP annoys Sigmund Bloom? Why risk isn't binary. The State of the Running Back: Facts, myths, and cost structures that enforce the current state of affairs. Of course, if you want to know about the rookies from

Athletic movement specialist Brandon Angelo joins Matt Waldman's for one of the best RSP Scout Talk podcasts of the year.  The first 20 minutes of this show with Brandon is a must-listen and the next 60 minutes are gold.  Brandon (@angelo_fantasy) is an athletic performance specialist, a former track athlete, and an independent evaluator of NFL talent. If there is anyone I know who has legitimate expertise to discuss metric analysis in terms of how the data is captured, Brandon is it. What he has to say today will blow your mind about how most people view prospects. You should be following him on Twitter. Here's what we served up today that you should consume before you get back to the NFL Draft tonight. https://youtu.be/_LNsJSjUM3k Topics Why Combine and Pro Day measurements are so flawed that we're still in the wild west era of metric evaluation for athletic performance in the NFL.

The benefits and cautionary tales of relationships between scouts and agents. The team side of creating smoke screens for media and competition. The skills GMs require well beyond film study. How Russ would incorporate a new mental processing test like S2 into a team environment. Why a player's love for the game is far from a ridiculous question when studying prospects. It goes way deeper than playing. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE),

SBN's Mark Schofield drops by for an in-depth conversation about the top three quarterbacks in this 2023 NFL Draft class.  https://youtu.be/u6SG6ScP_O4 Topics Who do we agree are the top three quarterbacks in the class? What scares us the most about each? What excites us the most about each? What do we think people don't realize about each of these three based on your film study? Is there any logical comparison between Malik Willis and Anthony Richardson strictly as passers? What is something about each of these three's games where there is a reasonable expectation for them to get better What's something about these three that you think will be harder for them to overcome? Where do you want to see these three in the NFL? Hendon Hooker? Yay or Nay as a future starter? Will Levis. Our fave 1-3 guys after the top three.

RGR's Daniel Harms joins Matt Waldman's RSP Cast Scout Talk for a conversation about 2023 NFL Draft Prospects.    https://youtu.be/3EtgTa2Gt1E Topics 1. We watch a lot of Travis Kelce...are there any TEs in this class that we feel can be even a tier within Kelce's skill set as a player if they have the right landing spot and develop to their potential? 2. We grew up watching Jamaal Charles. I think Tyjae Spears has a lot of skills that remind me of Charles. A) Do we think Charles was the best running back the Chiefs have had as a talent (not stats, just film)? B) What is your take on the state of the Chiefs' RB depth chart? C) What do we think of Spears and where would be some strong fits for him? 3. What has always stood out to me about Patrick Mahomes has been his ability to process what he sees with the confidence of immediacy--no hesitation. Are there any QBs in this class we believe to have that skill regardless of the other skills that may make them starter worthy (or not)? 4. Who are three of our f
