JJ Zachariason and Ben Gretch are our guests on today's edition of Beyond the Box Score! We talk about projections and some really intriguing Fantasy trends that will help you win your league. First, which teams are the toughest to project (2:15)? The Bucs, Bears and Falcons come to mind! Then JJ and Ben talk about lessons they have learned from previous projections (6:55) including how your projections should not be the same as your rankings ... Which players have risen for these guys based on their projections (12:50)? How do we project the Eagles offense (14:30)? What do you need to know about RPOs (run/pass options) and why they matter for wide receiver production? And how much does a mobile quarterback affect WR production (24:00)? We've got fascinating statistics to tell you about! ... Should we just avoid the Ravens WRs (32:30)? Who is the next Jalen Hurts (37:05)? Who is the next Tony Pollard? How do we feel about Trevor Lawrence (42:40)? And we've got more projection topics and some rankings disputes (1:00:30) to end the show ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
