Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast

The Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast is back with Scott Pianowski and friend of the pod, Yahoo's Frank Schwab! Scott and Frank recap the state of handicapping in 2020, which saw and impressive number of road teams and underdogs pull out victories against the spread. Was it a one year blip or has the home favorite edge truly evaporated? And, while we're talking about betting, the guys look at the futures board for NFC and AFC odds to see what teams look like good values early in the offseason, and why the Carson Wentz-led Indianapolis Colts might be worth an early wager. This week’s odds are courtesy of BetMGM. (As always, odds are subject to change.)

Our analysts dedicate this episode to what's on everyone's mind, the NFL offseason and how the fantasy values of new faces in new places could be affected.

Will Deshaun Watson get his wish? How about Ben Roethlisberger — sill he stay a Steeler? Where will Chris Godwin land? Free of Wentz, what will Jalen Hurts bring to the table?

Matt Harmon, Scott Pianowski and Andy Behrens are here to discuss the aftermath of Super Bowl LV in the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast! First up, the guys look back at Sunday’s blowout victory by Tampa Bay and how the Bucs defense made Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense look mortal. Then, where do the Chiefs and Bucs go from here? While KC will likely bring back most of their fantasy-friendly core, Tampa Bay has a lot of tough decisions to make in free agency. Lavonte David, Chris Godwin, Leonard Fournette, Shaq Barrett, and Brady-BFF Antonio Brown are all free agents heading into the offseason. Will Tampa Bay have the opportunity to run it back and defend their title?
