Does the NFL Combine actually matter for fantasy football? In this episode of Talk Data to Me, Dwain McFarland goes test by test through the historical data to break down which Combine drills actually predict future fantasy production — and which ones are fool's gold. From the 40-yard dash to the surprisingly useful agility scores, we dig into what the numbers say about evaluating rookie prospects at every skill position, including QB, RB, WR, and TE.

If you've ever over-drafted a "workout warrior" or faded a prospect because of a slow 40 time, this one's for you. Dwain breaks down metrics like Relative Athletic Score (RAS), weight-adjusted speed, burst scores, and more to show you which measurables actually translate to NFL fantasy relevance.

Whether you're a dynasty manager building your rookie draft board or a redraft player trying to separate signal from noise during draft season, this episode will change how you think about the NFL Combine. Make sure to check out Dwain's full deep dive on FantasyLife.com for even more data.
