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.
