Episode 186: Mike Clay

Paul and Matt were joined special guest, Mike Clay (@MikeClayNFL) of ESPN. The first discussion is how Mike utilizes his 2018 projections for the rookies when determining his dynasty rankings of them. Next, they discuss the rookie running backs and how first round rookie running backs often produce very high end relevant fantasy seasons.  In this conversation, Clay discusses his thoughts on Saquon Barkley and Rashaad Penny and the impact they could have in year one. After talking about some more of the rookie running backs and their year one opportunity and long term upside, the discussion shifted the rookie wide receivers. Clay discusses that while he likes some of the long term upside of the class, he is not looking to actively buy any in dynasty if the cost is too high. Clay discusses his thoughts on Tre'Quan Smith and D.J. Chark and why he thinks they are being undervalued in rookie drafts. He also discusses his feelings on the Green Bay Packers wide receiver group and how one of the rookie receivers could emerge and become fantasy viable. In the next segments, Clay gives his thoughts on the rookie tight end class and his top six rookie quarterbacks rankings for dynasty leagues. In the final question of the night, Clay gives three sleepers that he is looking to possibly acquire in rookie drafts that could pay off big dividends if they are given the opportunity at some point in the future.
