Rotoworld Football Show – Fantasy Football NBC Sports

April 30: Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) dive into the rookie fantasy class, going round-by-round with players whose landing spots they love coming out of the draft. That includes obvious choices like Malik Nabers and Ladd McConkey, but also players further down the board like new Jets WR Malachi Corley and Dolphins runner Jaylen Wright. In addition, they debate Blake Corum’s addition to the Rams’ backfield and its likely negative effect on Kyren Williams, Xavier Worthy’s Chiefs arrival, Ezekiel Elliott’s Cowboys return and Zay Jones’ Jaguars release. They end discussing zero-RB targets Kimani Vidal and Audric Estime.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) welcome in Connor Rogers (@ConnorJRogers) to help break down Night 1 of the draft, beginning with Michael Penix’s stunning selection at No. 8 overall. What do the Falcons even win if they “win” here? They then debate Drake Maye vs. Jayden Daniels’ 2027 starting odds, J.J. McCarthy’s fit in Minnesota, and the Chargers’ decision to pass on Malik Nabers. Pat and Kyle dig into Brock Bowers’ fit in Vegas — questionable — before examining Xavier Worthy and Brian Thomas Jr.’s odds of rookie fantasy contributions. They wonder if Ricky Pearsall and Xavier Legette are destined to bust, and if Marvin Harrison Jr. can sneak into the top 12 at wideout as a rookie.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) wrap up their pre-draft coverage by welcoming in Mr. Eric Froton (@CFFroton) to talk about some of his favorite prospects. That includes the obvious like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers, but also deeper sleepers like Troy RB Kimani Vidal and UVA WR Mailk Washington. They also examine A.D. Mitchell’s current stock, Bo Nix’s first-rounds odds, USC RB MarShawn Lloyd and much more. That includes Oregon WR Troy Franklin.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) welcome in special guest and former colleague Hayden Winks (@HaydenWinks) to get his take on some of the draft’s most fascinating prospects. The Underdog Football analyst opines on Brock Bowers and Bo Nix before getting his brain picked on Ja’Lynn Polk, Audric Estime and Blake Corum. Before departing, the group discusses A.D. Mitchell and his supposed “character concerns,” Malik Nabers’ fit with the Chargers and much, much more.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) inch closer to draft day with the latest on the Brock Bowers debate — how big of a concern is his lack of testing? — before again returning to Jayden Daniels and what an appropriate comparison may or may not be. Hint: It’s not Lamar Jackson. They then check in on the latest re-draft news, beginning with Tee Higgins’ belief he will remain in Cincinnati. They examine DeVonta Smith’s extension, Courtland Sutton’s odds of landing a new deal, Nick Chubb’s health, the Titans’ backfield and more. They end by previewing Denny’s upcoming article on quarterbacks and screen targets, including the potential fit of Bo Nix in Denver.

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) go long on Kyle’s latest mock draft, beginning with his mocking of LSU’s Jayden Daniels to the Commanders at No. 2. They debate the likelihood of the first four picks all being quarterbacks, if J.J. McCarthy is as “safe” as the recent draft chatter would lead people to believe, and if Bo Nix might sneak into the top 10, specifically to Vegas. They also ponder if Marvin Harrison Jr. is still the consensus WR1 and if Brock Bowers will make it past the top 10. They end by discussing Denny’s recent article on what they hope is a more pass-happy Texans offense. Along the way, they sweat someone by the name of “Austin Eckroat” as Denny and Kyle commiserate about the Masters.
