The NFL preseason concludes this weekend, meaning that it’s probably time for your Fantasy Football draft!

Plus, Dave shares why San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey should still be the number-one pick on your draft board.

Topics Discussed: Fantasy Football

  • Should you be careful to draft Christian McCaffrey, CeeDee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk and Ja’Marr Chase?
  • “The holdouts scare me more than McCaffrey.”
  • Richard says that he is confident that Chase will play this season
  • As for Aiyuk and Lamb, Richard says that both WRs have slid down his draft board due to their holdouts
  • Who are Richard’s top three running backs?
  • If Brandon Aiyuk is traded, Dave says a move to the Pittsburgh Steelers could hurt the WR’s value
  • Will Sam Darnold hurt Justin Jefferson’s production this season?
  • How should you handle the Miami Dolphins RB situation: Achane or Mostert?
  • Who is getting drafted too high?
  • Dave is not high on Kyle Pitts: “I think he should be drafted later.”
  • Will Mike Evans continue his 1,000+ yard streak this year
