Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:17.5

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

0:21.1

Appreciate hanging out with us today. We survived that crazy week last week with

0:25.2

free agency just taking the league and like shaking it up like a snow globe. And that forces

0:29.7

us to rethink our outlooks for almost every player, which I did. I updated my redraft

0:35.1

rankings. I updated my dynasty trade value charts. You can check all those out over at the score. There's links to it on my Twitter page too. I'm at Justin Boone on there. I also have the free agent index updated. So you can still see the top skill position guys on the market. All the fantasy depth charts are updated. So you can see where I think players land on their new rosters. We did three podcasts last week, you know, went over all my takeaways for the different moves that happened. It's also important to remember that the offseason isn't close to being done. So while we're having these takes about players right now, there's still a lot that could change. There's still a few players out there on the trade market like Brandon Ayuk, T. Higgins. Not sure if either of those guys are actually going to get dealt, but there's lots of rumors that have been circling about them. We also still have some free agents remaining, some guys that could impact depth charts. None of the real big names are still out there, but there are some guys available that I'm sure we will get excited about when they do sign somewhere.

1:28.2

I mean, we saw my guy, Deonta Foreman signed with the Browns this week.

1:32.1

Very nice signing in case Nick Chub isn't ready for week one.

1:35.2

And Foreman, he could have some fantasy value, especially early in the season, either as a Chub replacement or more likely in a committee with Jerome Ford. So we'll see where some of the other free agents end up over the next stretch. And then we're going to get to the draft. And we're going to have another huge shakeup with all these rookies coming into the mix. So today I'm going to go over the biggest risers after free agency. And we're going to focus on the AFC only. And then Friday, we're going to hit on the biggest risers for the nfc but keep in mind these situations are fluid and we could see them

2:06.3

shift again especially when the draft rolls around but let's start with the afc risers list

2:11.0

got a lot of players to get through some of them i did talk about last week so we'll try to go

2:15.5

quickly through them and really we could start anywhere but why not start with my Buffalo Bills? And I have three risers for the

2:23.1

bills. One is James Cook. He's the biggest riser by far on that team. And Buffalo hasn't brought

2:28.7

in another back yet. So at the moment, it's Cook. It's Ty Johnson, who they re-signed, and

2:34.1

Darrington Evans. And that means that we are probably going to see them sign of that or draft somebody. There's no way that they're going to go into the season with that as the running back depth chart. But like I said earlier, there's not that many big names left on the market. And that running back, the only real guy of note is Ezekiel Elliott and it's not a great

2:52.3

draft class for running back so Cook's in position now to really challenge for a top 12 fantasy

2:57.9

spot again I mean he was the RB 11 from week 11 on last year after Joe Brady took over as

3:03.2

the offensive coordinator so cook is a riser so are, Kincaid, and Curtis Samuel on the bills.

3:08.5

And this is going to depend on whether Buffalo drafts or receiver early or not. But Kincaid is in

3:13.4

that very enviable position that we look for. Can a fantasy tight end be the de facto number two

3:18.7

pass catcher on the offense? And right now, Kincaid would be that guy behind Stefan Diggs.

3:24.3

And then for Samuel, I went over on one of last week shows, but he had his best season of his career with Joe Brady and Carolina back in 2020 when Brady was the offensive coordinator there.
