Previewing the 2023 NFL Draft on 'Fantasy Roundup'
The 2023 NBA Playoffs are well and truly underway. While this means the end of the regular fantasy basketball season, there are still plenty of opportunities for fans of fantasy games to get their fix playing Daily Fantasy Sports.
Spencer 'the Guru' Urquhart and Gabe Henderson began this week's 'Fantasy Roundup' show discussing two players they believe have some serious value in Tuesday night's games. Urquhart listed the Cleveland Cavaliers' Darius Garland ($7400) as his player to watch and Henderson pointed out the DFS value in the New York Knicks' Quentin Grimes ($4700).
Devin Jackson of the Philadelphia Inquirer then joined the show to discuss the 2023 NFL Draft.
Jackson and Urquhart started off their talk by breaking down the quarterback class in the upcoming draft. Aside from top prospects Bryce Young (Alabama) and C.J. Stroud (Ohio State), Jackson sees Florida's Anthony Richardson as the "next best" option, despite the realization that he may not start right away.
Jackson noted that — aside from Texas' Bijan Robinson — Alabama's Jahmyr Gibbs and Tulane's Tyjae Spears could see around 20 touches per game in ideal situations, making them fantasy-relevant running backs.
The crew then discussed other skill positions and Jackson even gave viewers a couple of deep sleeper names who could have an impact in deep leagues as rookies. Jackson left the show with his prediction for who the New Orleans will take with their first pick next Thursday.
The show was capped with an NBA edition of the 'Let Me Sound Off' segment. Urquhart harped on DFS players who continue to pick Kevin Durant, regardless of the fact he's still trying to gel with his new teammates.
