Chris Welsh, host of the In This League Podcast, is with us as we shine a light on our top 10 favorite bounce-back players for 2021! Despite the velocity dip, Patrick Corbin (4:57) may deserve the benefit of the doubt. What was more surprising for Ketel Marte (15:13): the 2019 breakout or the 2020 slump? Why should fantasy managers feel compelled to buy back into Kris Bryant and Javier Baez (29:29) this year? The guys later dig into the listener mailbag (50:09) and debut a new game called "What's Trending?"

Joe Pisapia and Dan Harris are back for the second podcast of the week! The duo discusses the Fernando Tatis Jr. mega extension (2:27) before diving into Joe's LABR draft strategy. Is Trea Turner worth a first-round selection? Trends we noticed were how necessary it is to get an ace early (16:10), that there's value in UTIL-only players like Nelson Cruz and JD Martinez (19:30), and how outfield is actually kind of shallow (22:42). The second half of the show focuses on some late-round players who might be undervalued. Timestamps: Fernando Tatis Jr. extension - 2:27 Aces - 16:10 UTIL only players - 19:30 Outfield talk - 22:42 Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - 29:08 Trey Mancini - 32:38 Rhys Hoskins - 34:35 Eduardo Rodriguez - 41:50 Kirby Yates - 42:52 Andrew Benintendi - 43:29 Victor Robles - 47:56 Jeimer Candelario - 51:57 Drew Smyly - 53:58 Brandon Nimmo - 55:30

Dan Harris is joined by Joe Pisapia and Andrew Gould for the second FantasyPros mock draft of the offseason! Andrew kicks things off by selecting Ronald Acuna with the No. 1 pick (6:52). The crew later discusses the importance of drafting an ace early (12:58)and whether or not it's okay to throw out 2020 stats for certain players (39:15). Things wrap up with a discussion on late round flyers (1:02:20) before Joe finally drafts a catcher (1:07:05).

Justin Mason joins the show and we're talking about the first round of fantasy drafts. While you're going to find talent up and down Round 1, how exactly should these players be ranked? Before we get into things, what does Trevor Bauer's move mean for his ranking (10:35)? Should Fernando Tatis be the No.1 pick (29:55) and should Jacob deGrom be taken in the top 3(31:20)? How high should Trea Turner be taken (43:49) and should there be any worry over Christian Yelich's poor 2020 season (46:20)? Get answers to all your questions about the first-round players as well as those who fall just outside the top 12 (53:13).

Alex Fast of Pitcher List joins us on today's podcast for fun and insightful analysis on our 12 favorite late-round upside starting pitchers! Will Zach Davies (13:44) prove that his career-best production from last season was no fluke? Is Jake Odorizzi (25:19) primed to regain his 2019 form? Will the park upgrade and the possibility of more reliance on his sinker help Dane Dunning (30:13) achieve his upside, or is Texas' terrible infield defense poised to cap his potential? Lastly, is 2021 the year Mitch Keller's (47:32) minor league success finally translates to the big leagues? Timestamps: Marcus Stroman - 0:04:39 Eduardo Rodriguez - 0:10:08 Zach Davies - 0:13:44 Kyle Hendricks - 0:19:20 Nate Pearson - 0:21:12 Jake Odorizzi - 0:25:19 Dane Dunning - 0:30:13 Griffin Canning - 0:35:16 Michael Kopech - 0:39:01 Matthew Boyd - 0:42:58 Mitch Keller - 0:47:32 Ryan Yarbrough - 0:54:38 Garrett Richards - 0:58:25

Nick Pollack of Pitcher List is on with us as we share our 10 most undervalued pitchers outside the late rounds! Is Kenta Maeda (6:56) primed to continue his stellar 2020 production and will Kyle Hendricks (26:47) keep outperforming expectations, especially with his projected innings volume?
