Q: What would you like to happen for VaynerSports in the short and long term?

CBS Sports reporter Dave Richard talks Fantasy Football Winners & Losers after NFL Free Agency and before 2026 NFL Draft
Q: What are the takeaways on Makai Lemon and the JSN comparison?
Richard explains that Lemon, like JSN, profiles as a polished, versatile receiver capable of producing from multiple alignments; in a Saints landing scenario, Lemon could become a high-volume tool over time, though fantasy managers should temper immediate expectations and focus on landing spot and role development.
CBS Sports reporter Dave Richard talks Fantasy Football Winners & Losers after NFL Free Agency and before 2026 NFL Draft
Q: What is the outlook for Travis Etienne in New Orleans, and how might Kamara affect his ceiling?
The panel discusses Etienne as the lead back with upside from workload and yardage rather than pure scoring, cautioning that Kamara could cap upside if he remains a significant receiving option, but Etienne should still function as a strong RB2 with room to grow in a potentially improved offensive line.
