It's a bit of a two-part episode from the Niner Noise Podcast this time around, with the first half focused on what's been happening at San Francisco 49ers training camp so far, and the other half featuring Chris Allen of Fantasy Life discussing everything you need to know about fantasy football for the upcoming season.
Your hosts, Robert Morrison and Akshaj Dwivedula, begin looking at all of the injuries that have plagued the Niners so far this offseason, particuarly as training camp is concerned, leading to a revolving door of camp bodies coming in and out so that the Niners can make it through practices and the upcoming preseason games.
This leads into a conversation about the rookie class and how it has done so far during the offseason and into training camp in a season where San Francisco will need a lot of help from this group in order to improve upon a disastrous 6-11 campaign from last year.
You can listen to the full episode below:
Other topics on training camp include the curious case of the 49ers' wide receiver room (with special focus on second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall), the depth along the defensive line, and much more.
Niner Noise Podcast discusses fantasy football with Chris Allen
The second half of the episode brings in Chris Allen, a writer for Fantasy Life, a website started by famed fantasy football guru Matthew Berry, formerly of ESPN. Chris talks about his background as a mechanical engineer and how it impacts the way he looks at football, allowing him to take a "'process over results' approach to deliver actionable analysis on multiple platforms for any fantasy football format."
Chris talks about fantasy football from all angles, with a specific focus on some 49ers players to watch out for this season, and even a name to avoid until the later rounds.
