The Reunion

The Reunion

Britt is joined by the truest 'Day Ones' since the inception of Rookie On The Rise which was formerly Rookie Fever Forecast. Britt is joined by Eric Burkholder (ERLICH when being an ass) and a new edition to the show but a Day One in our hearts Colt of the SWP show found here.


This show has all the ROTR staples, NOODS, mostly naked podcaster (britt), outrageous statements that are mostly true and tons of laughs.


I truly cannot recommend their podcast enough the gang does just awesome things on the air waves.

Just say NO to Mingo

Welcome all to the Rookie On The Rise Podcast where I, Britt breakdown rookies with my guests. We do our best every year to bring you a combination of analytics and film to get a quick and easy breakdown on rookie prospects. This year you will have a different set up, we will be producing more episodes but they'll be shorter in nature. Doing our best to make these accessible to everyone.

Big thanks to producer Eric for doing the behind the scenes work!

A moment we have all been waiting for. Britt brings on a giant in the community Josh Larky (@LarkyTweets) to break down the best positional battle highlighted to date. Josh gives it his all in helping break down Treylon Burks v Drake London and which player edges out on top.

- Just how soon will we know how good these players are?

- Just how important is the first season for rookies?

and many more important nuggets of information

Big thanks to our producer Eric (@EricBurkholder6) and to all that asked those fun questions!

The Non-Existent Vacuum

In a true Rookie On The Rise fashion, we bounce around tiers like a teenager bounces around friends. I am extremely excited to bring on Anthony (@DynastyDrive) to help ease the tension between which player is the better choice?

Jameson Williams vs. Garrett Wilson


The real question is, will you get a straight answer?

CALL IT A SOLO BABYYYY, it's you're friend @TheFFSandman talking to you some sleeper running backs. Names you best keep in your mind during this process prior to the draft.

- Is Pierre Strong Jr. STRONG enough to give us the value we want?

Jell Bell (@4WhomJBellTolls) comes on for his podcast debut for Rookie On The Rise to give his best case for his favorite two quarterbacks in this class. 

Why is the Jalen Hurts and Malik Willis comparison completely wrong?

The Desmond Ridder ascension has begun, is he worth the leap?

Is Alec Pierce the premier flier?

Value Insulators

Value Insulators

I am a bit frustrated, this was easily a Top-3 episode and my microphone (me) sabotaged it. I apologize for the sound quality but I truly suggest you fight through it, Jakob (@FF_RTDB) is extremely well spoken and insightful and breaks down why double counting and short sighted lessons could be your down fall in fantasy.

Just how silly is it to discredit Drake London's contested catch percentage?

Skyy Moore could be who?!

Wan'Dale lives and dies by what?

Mar 24, 202201:04:53

Was a true pleasure to bring on Michael (@YourFFTrade) to break down the wide receiver core in 2022.

Can David Bell succeed even with poor draft capital?

Shakin Till Golden

Shakin Till Golden

On his comeback tour, Dallas (@SalladGalore) comes back to give his best elevator pitch on the three wideouts who share near identical per game averages over their last 20 games.


- Where is Olave's true value at?

- Is Shakir the answer to the most valuable wide receivers?

- Is Romeo Doubs worthy a flier in your rookie drafts?

Plus bonuses on Calvin Turner and Emeka Emezie.
