FFBDpod 29:
Preseason Week 1
Risers, Fallers & Sleepers
+
Alshon Jeffery, Jerick Mckinnon, Round 3 RBs 

The fantasy football season is hurtling towards us like Eddie Lacy towards a free buffet of crab rangoon, with Preseason Week 1 officially in the books. Anyone who says, “The Preseason doesn’t matter!” is a true sheep, as Fantasy Wolves consider all possible evidence.

From rapport building, to role development and unexpected usage, to overall team performances and glimpses at new schemes, plenty of important trends emerge that cannot be ignored. The Wolf and Truth read you all the headlines from our Preseason Week 1 Risers, Fallers, and Penny Stocks Recap, before diving in for a few more in depth  to preview the piece. And yes, we talk about Cam Newton and Kelvin Benjamin's pre-game confrontation (before discussing Benjamin’s sneaky Target Hog upside).

Plus, we tackle a jam packed stock watch featuring:

• Alshon Jeffery’s injury and what it means for the other pass-catchers in Philadelphia 
• 
  
• Jerick McKinnon’s injury and his stock now with Alfred Morris in San Francisco -- and what Morris himself could bring to the table
• 
  
• Developments in the ever-valuable Saints' backup RB story, which will make it even easier to select Mark Ingram at his steal price.
• 
  
• Bears Passing Game Developments -- who’s emerging as the top targets, and will Mitch Trubisky’s play allow it to matter?
• 
  
• John Brown’s Rising Penny Stock Value
• 
  
• A Saquon Barkley scare.
• 
  

Plus, as has become tradition, Roto Joe is back for another round of Tier Jerkers. Here, the boys break down the 3rd Round(ish) RB scene--he and The Wolf rank Christian McCaffrey, Alex Collins, Derrick Henry, Jay Ajayi, and Joe Mixon for your drafting pleasure. Both Joe and Wolf differ vastly in their organization of this tier, so find out where and why certain players are higher or lower.

The pod is wrapped up with a couple of items from the mailbag, including what to do with your 2nd and 3rd Round Picks if drafting No.1 overall, as well as a QB question circling on Jared Goff and Deshaun Watson.
