Summary
We're giving out some Fantasy Superlatives on today's show beginning with our Fantasy MVP picks. It would be easy to say Christian McCaffrey but we won't take that route. Then we've got your news and notes (6:45) including the latest on Noah Fant and Saquon Barkley and why Ezekiel Elliott's Week 1 matchup just got tougher ... Which players grew on us during the preseason (12:00)? These are guys we found ourselves drafting more than we would have imagined. The rise of Marquez Callaway and Jerry Jeudy certainly caught our attention. And if you're looking for some roster moves to make before the season starts, we've got a great suggestion for you (20:15) ... Superlatives time! Rookie of the Year (not including Najee Harris) (25:10), Comeback Player of the Year (28:40) and Biggest Bust (32:30). Barkley made his way into two of these categories. We'll also tell you who our listeners picked for these categories (37:40) ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
