We welcome back our NFL draft analyst, Brian Franklin (H&F Industries), to preview the deep group of wide receivers in this year's rookie class.
SPOILER: This is a much more encouraging preview compared to our RB preview from Episode 109. And deservedly so. How early will DK Metcalf fall off the board? Is WR the best position group of fantasy-relevant rookies in this year's draft?

Our CMB Draft Analysts, Brian Franklin (H&F Industries) and Ryan Risher (DRAGON ENERGY) join us to talk all the latest and upcoming stories and prospects ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft in our own neck of the woods in Nashville.
The Combine was held last week in Indy, and we discuss some players who made names for themselves (in both good and bad ways).
The new league year officially begins at 3 PM CT next Wednesday, March 13, and we talk about some of the big names looking for new deals. Where will the reportedly out-of-shape Le'Veon Bell go? Who will win the Antonio Brown, AKA Mr. Big Chest, Sweepstakes?
The Draft is still seven weeks away, but we begin discussing the 2019 rookie QB and TE classes. Will Kyler Murray go No. 1? Does the University of Iowa tight end factory offer tours?

It's disaster time in Jacksonville, as the Jags fired their offensive coordinator and benched Blake Bortles 24 hours before Leonard Fournette's one-game suspension appeal was denied. First to worst in the AFC South. Yikes.
The injuries from Week 12 were season-ending, unfortunately, for several players, which certainly impact the playoff push for a few CMB squads.

A special Volunteer Voicemail from an unexpected caller
It's the season of giving thanks, and some managers in CMB give thanks to some of the playmakers from their rosters in 2018.
The Rams-Chiefs MNF showdown was one for the ages, wasn't it? Alex Smith's broken fibula and tibia were, too, unfortunately, and some Twilight/Zodiac-like oddities occurred.
Jake Standifer (Kemp's Crew) called his shot last week on the podcast, and the shot didn't pick up. He unsuccessfully tried to bury Ross and Reed Garrison (East Coast Wombats), and Ross offers a rebuttal to request some respect on ECW's name in this week's Volunteer Voicemail.
The CMB playoff puzzle is coming together with a few more pieces added to form.
Plus, we make our Week 12 picks, but not before we draft our favorite Thanksgiving food ahead of Thursday's matchup between the mind and stomach.
The trade deadline came and went in Yahoo, and there was zero movement in CMB during the Witching Hour.
Each of the following events occurred during a span of 72 hours: Dez signs with the Saints. StrongSIDE spends their remaining $41 FAAB bucks on Dez. Dez tears his Achilles. StrongSIDE drops Dez.
Le'Veon Bell says "No Thanks!" to the Steelers and walks away from a guaranteed contract worth more than the GDP of some small countries. H&F drops Le'Veon.
Is Fitzmagic real? Are there any tricks left in his magic beard?
Jake Standifer (Kemp's Crew) had one of the biggest single-week performances in the history of CMB during Week 10. Fantasy philosophy, collusion, childhood memories with Zach, and of course, Shawn Kemp are all discussed during this week's Call of the Week.

It's the 100th episode of the CMB Fantasy Football Podcast!
Pace and Zach take a trip down memory lane back to 2015 for the first episode and revisit some of the best moments ever since. It's a sappy, "thanks-for-the-memories" start to No. 100, to say the least.
Dez signs with the Saints, and Le'Veon Bell is back in Pittsburgh (well, back in the city, that is).
No special guest this week, but Pace and Zach make their picks for Week 10 with their Locks and Bold Predictions.
Thank you to everyone who has listened and supported the podcast through the first 100 episodes!
Party like it's 99!
It's a special Halloween Night recording of the podcast, and Pace and Zach draft their favorite Halloween candy. Don't worry, neither picked candy corn or those awful popcorn balls.

BREAKING! A trade within CMB is made live on the podcast, as the collusion conspiracy of Kemp's Crew and Pace In Your Face is given some consideration.
Several NFL trades and a few in CMB help shape Week 8. The bottom-two teams still haven't spent any FAAB dollars, and Big Orange Bullies goes all in on two AFC East RBs filling roles for injured starters.
Jeff and Rob Gaw of Tecmo Power Runners join to talk the disappointing start to 2018 for David Johnson, a top-10 RB surprise in James White, and which player they'd pick for life, should CMB adapt the Keepers system. Also, just two Cleveland Browns this year??
Zach is back behind the mic, as he rejoins Pace for a preview of Week 7, Rivalry Week, in CMB.
Devonta Freeman is placed on IR, much to the (gross) delight of Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith fantasy football owners, and Leonard Fournette is possibly back this week in the Jags' backfield, much to the dismay of T.J. Yeldon owners.
Pace quizzes Zach for a one-time segment of "Commissioner Conspiracies" in an effort to dispel any false notions about the commissioners' powers over CMB. #PizzaGate
(38:51) It's Rivalry Week, and the guys welcome on the two teams who make up the only true rivalry in CMB, East and West Coast Wombats. This is likely the most guests on the podcast at one time, and it's undoubtedly the most "Jerry Springer" moment in show history.

Still no Zach this episode, whose Week 5 Bye extended into a Week 6 injury listing (did not report). Handcuff and scatback co-host Matt Suggs returns for a second week in a row, who's always ready to be called up when needed. He's basically the Darren Sproles of the CMB Fantasy Football Podcast.
Drew Brees became the NFL's all-time leading passer, and at this ridiculous pace QBs are on through five weeks, no passing record will be safe moving forward.
Jay Myrick, co-manager of the two-time CMB Champion IDPs Still Suck, offers another candid, non-sugarcoated interview, naming this week's opponent, H&F Industries, as the only CMB team worthy of rival consideration.

Zach is out on Bye in Week 5, as Matt Suggs of StrongSIDE joins Pace for Episode 95.
Week 4 brought exciting overtime games, but also a laundry list of injuries. TEASE: Maybe dealing Saquan Barkley for Dalvin Cook wasn't H&F's best trade yet (but again, it's still early).
StrongSIDE finally makes an appearance on "Show Me The Money!" and boy did they ever. Mitchell Trubisky for $17??? Matt explains.
Kevin White (YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE) joins the podcast to preview his Week 5 matchup with Isaiah 40:31, deciding between Mahomes vs. Watson, and makes effort to avoid another Ice Bucket Challenge.
