Summary

Which hyped up players should you buy into and which players are unjustly overblown? Matt Waldman from Footballguys joins the show to help us answer that very question. Is our excitement for Saquon Barkley warranted (15:08) and are there reasons to be concerned regarding Jerick McKinnon's talent and situation (22:01)? Plus, will Juju Smith-Schuster transform into a superstar or is a major regression coming (34:56), is Robby Anderson someone worth reaching for (47:47), and what should fantasy owners make of George Kittle and David Njoku (1:01:20)?
