    S3E4: Fantasy TE Rankings

    The 53 brings you into their rankings for this year's batch of Fantasy Tight Ends. Listen along to hear their takes on the following:  - After finishing as TE1 for 4 straight years, Travis Kelce got dethroned last year by the production of Mark Andrews...  Is it safe to say Kelce is primed for a TE1 finish once again? - What are your expectations for mark Andrews this season? - The founder of TE University is adjusting this off-season to a new signal caller in Trey Lance, Do you think Trey is a positive for George Kittle's fantasy production this season? - Kittle had a decreased target share last season, what about a guy we expect to see a spike in targets?  The cowboys have cemented him as the #2 receiving option this season... Thoughts on Dalton Schultz - Kyle Pitts was the first Rookie TE to make the Pro-Bowl since Jeremy Shockey in 2002. He put up an astounding 15 yards per reception in 2021 (11th), what does that look like for him going into his second year? - A guy we hear a lot about, but is often injured or slowed down for some reason is TJ Hockenson.  Does Goff to Hock get you excited this year?? - We are going through Week 1 of the Pre-season which featured a flawless 1st drive by Jalen Hurts and Company. The drive was finished off with a Dallas Goedert score! Was that a look into what's to come for the 5th year Eagles TE? - How about Zach Ertz getting ready for his first full season in ARZ? We know they will be throwing the ball a lot down there so where does he fit in the mix as different guys become available in the passing attack? - Pat Friermuth posted 60 catches in his rookie season, is he primed to outproduce in year 2?

    S3E3: Fantasy QB Rankings

    Luke and Jason join forces once again to bring you their thoughts on QB rankings heading into Fantasy Football Draft season. There is certainly some question marks surrounding the QB position this year, especially around whether if it's worth spending the extra money to get a top-5 guy or is it advantageous to save some coin and play with a budget QB.  - With Hopkins sitting out to start the year and Hollywood Brown coming over from a draft day trade. How do you feel about Murray this year? - Lamar Jackson didn't serve a full slate of games last year, does that impact your ranking for him? - Luke was able to attend Chargers Training Camp yesterday and witness Herbert and all the talent he has around him. Could we see progression in an already stellar fantasy line of 5000 yards, 38 TDs? - Jalen Hurts finished in the top 10 last year, do you see that happening again? - Wilson was mad inconsistent his last 2 seasons in Seattle, does his relocation and new weapons make him more appetizing? - Tom Brady led the league with 5,316 yards and a top 3 finish at QB. We have seen him drop into the mid-tier, does this mean value is found in Brady or are we fading Brady coming into his 23rd NFL Season?  - Despite losing Amari Cooper, Dak's now veteran years should still lead to some quality fantasy production, no? - Back-to-back MVP is often overlooked when it comes to fantasy production as of late, but Aaron Rodgers finished at QB 6 last year, what do you see this year? - We got a little taste of Trey Lance last year after starting 2 games in playing in a couple more. How do we feel about him being more or less unknown in 2022? - Finished QB 11 with a coach focused on a run-heavy offense. With Kevin O'Connell coming in and bringing the McVay offense to Minnesota, does this unlock Kirk as a solid QB1 this year? Check us out on Twitter: @The53Podcast
