Matt Waldman's RSP Cast

Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. Topics * Feedback on Foxes, hedgehogs, and Adam's re-draft strategy. * Ben Sandri's WR Heuristics. * How Matt applies Adam’s re-draft strategy in Auction formats. * How to approach backfield carousels like Miami and Arizona in re-draft and dynasty formats.

On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss why NFL quarterback development has taken a step backward, why they should look to the past to create a better future, and thoughts on the current quarterback who slipped through three team's fingers.  Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He’s also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation. After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don’t often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL’s disparities with 40 times and several more ’23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen. Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the player at the bottom of the page, or download the podcast at most outlets, including Google, Spotify, and iTunes. This Week’s Topics * QB development trajectories in the NFL Why a month of GMs is rarely enough to know who is good enough to be a long-term guy. * Tom Brady’s story and what football could learn from it rather than treat it as an outlier—or should they? * Denver’s backfield * Arizona’s WR corps and the QB that got away from three teams that could use him. * Jahmyr Gibbs and fantasy/fan patience levels * Justin Fields and Bears offense vs. Denver. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt’s new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2022 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-...

A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He’s also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation.

This Week’s Topics * Justin Fields' woes are technical, conceptual, strategic, and organizational. The same can be said about his coaches. * Why Rich Eisen's attempt to draw parallels between Fields' press conference answers to Zach Wilson's disastrous Q&A in 2022 is a gross misunderstanding of what Fields was communicating. * Sam Howell's performance and offensive scheme as a positive contrast to Chicago's work with Fields and what the Bears could do better. * Why Kyren Williams, Tutu, Atwell, and Puka Nacua earned their jobs and their rest-of-the-season fantasy outlooks. * The biggest surprises in L.A. aren't Williams, Atwell, and Nacua. * Nick Chubb's injury, outlook, and the Browns' RB room. * Deshaun Watson's career is in do-or-die mode and we could see Cleveland move on faster than the public may realize. * The Browns who must be lights-out for Cleveland to thrive. * Why Brock Purdy works in San Francisco. * Thoughts on the Eagles' running back room. * More Tyjae Spears!   https://youtu.be/mWofdZSw_xU And of course,
