Well, if you had Brandon Cooks or Aaron Rogers on your fantasy team last year, you know that a good bounce back player can be great for your fantasy team. We'll give you some of our favorites for 2021 right now. And welcome to the show. This is fantasy football today and five on this Monday. Adam Azer and Dave Richard here. Please follow us on Spotify and tell your friends and help our show grow. Okay, Dave, I'm going to get

0:21.5

one bounce back from you at each position, someone who didn't play very well in 2020, but could

0:25.8

be much better in 2021. Give me a quarterback. The quarterback that I think has a good chance to bounce

0:31.1

back this year after having a rough time last year, I think Carson Wentz has to be a candidate for it. I don't know if he's necessarily the best one. Matt Ryan is a candidate for it. Let's go with Matt Ryan, because I think he's a lot more interesting. They're changing offenses in Atlanta. They seem to be focused on just adapting to what they have. What they have right now is a great passing game. We know Matt Ryan is at potential to easily be a top 10 fantasy quarterback in the past. I don't think Carson once can necessarily get to that top 10 level. I think Ryan can. And I think fantasy managers are going to be able to draft Matt Ryan with a very late pick because people are going to be shy to get him. He doesn't run. He's going to have to have 4,800 yards and 30 touchdowns again.

1:28.9

I think that's possible as long as Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley stay healthy. Yeah, we'll give you on the full-length show. We'll give you some splits with him without Julio Jones. Pretty interesting, but also it just so happened that his best matchups came with Julio Jones. So was it Julio or was it the matchups? We'll talk about that on fantasy football today. bounce back running back who else could it be

1:30.8

besides miles Jones. So was it Julio? Was it the matchups? We'll talk about that on fantasy football today.

1:44.3

Bounce back running back. Who else could it be besides Miles Sanders? And we're throwing out guys that were hurt, right? Yeah. Sequan Barkley, obviously, is a bounce back candidate. Joe Mixon's a bounce back candidate, but Miles Sanders played most of the year. 12 games. Finished in 19th in fantasy points per game.

1:45.5

We only only had, let's see,

1:46.6

one, two, three,

1:48.2

four games with 15 plus players. of the year, 12 games, finished in 19th in fantasy points per game.

1:44.6

We only only had, let's see, one, two, three, four games with 15 plus BPR points.

1:49.1

That is not what we were expecting when we were taking him with a first round pick.

1:53.3

And so far, all Philadelphia has done is re-signed Boston Scott and brought back Jordan Howard.

1:59.7

And I don't think Jordan Howard's going to be there to completely dominate at the goal

2:04.0

line.

2:04.3

That would be weird.

2:05.5

And I think having Jalen hurts a quarterback in Philadelphia, as long as that's the case,

2:08.8

certainly can open up some rushing lanes from Miles Sanders.

2:11.3

We saw it in those last four games.

2:13.5

Two of them, he had at least 17 PPR points.

2:15.7

I think he's got a chance to bounce back, Maybe not necessarily be a top eight fantasy running back, but maybe creep into the top 12, especially if you can say healthy for 17 games.

2:26.1

Okay. Wide receiver, can we go with Michael Thomas? Zero touchdowns last year. Only seven games, but even when he played, he wasn't very good.
