    2020 Way Too Early Mock Draft

    Picture this scene: you're 6 years old having the time of your life on the playground. Little Bobby comes over and yells "race you to the swings!" You, being a normal human, cannot let this challenge be ignored. Your little legs seem to move at the speed of light and then...the trip. The fall. The tumble. You look down at your hand and see a large splinter, mocking you, as it sticks out of your palm. The rush to the nurse.  The tears.  The screams.  And then...instant relief as the splinter is removed from your palm. Now capture that feeling. That's how the first mock draft of the season goes.  Does it hurt? You bet.  Is there instant relief knowing that it's over? Hell yeah! Join Mike and I while we painfully and metaphorically remove splinters from our hands for 15 rounds.

    Drafting Wide Receivers 2019

    Dorial Green Beckham... We mention him twice in this episode, so yeah that's how things are going. In a year where people still think that Chris Godwin is a "sleeper," and Josh Gordon will most likely be drafted in the first round in some leagues (yeah you know who you are), it's tough to get excited about the fantasy community. However, there is one saving grace...it's still the most exciting position in football.  So, let your friends draft Miami WRs, and take Dez in the late rounds "just in case," and reap the benefits!  In this episode Mike and I dive into the WR position and help you target or avoid certain players.

    Drafting Running Backs 2019

    Data data data. Sometimes in can be complicated, intricate, and overwhelming. However, sometimes it can point out such simple trends. Drafting running backs is no joke, it can make or break your season, so let's not overcomplicate things.  In this episode Mike and I look at last year's ADP vs. actual finish for running backs in order to evaluate when RB 1s and RB 2s are typically taken, and how to use that for this season.

    QBs: When to Draft and Who to Target in 2019

    Quarterbacks and Kickers are the same in fantasy football. Yeah I said it! The only difference is that some people like to take quarterbacks starting in the 3rd and 4th rounds...WHAT?! What if I told you that there was no real advantage for taking that 3rd round QB as apposed to one that is essentially undrafted? C'mon fantasy football community, it's time to wake up!  Mike and I dive into the rounds where QBs SHOULD be taken and what guys we think you should target there.

    Experts' "Safe" Picks- Exploit or Ignore?

    "Hopper! What do we do? The Russians are toying with our Fantasy Football Rankings!" "Joyce will you just shut it for a second and let me think! If only there was some way to identify the players that are incorrectly ranked...then we can make our own decisions and find value in the draft...but HOW!" *The door crashes open. 11 is staring angrily with blood falling from her nose (naturally), holding out her phone with an outstretched arm. She quickly presses play to the sound of... "CAN I CHALLENGE THAT?"   In this episode Mike and I discuss which players experts are ranking too safely because of various risk factors, as we help you to decide which we feel you should exploit or ignore.

    Passing Back Analysis- What Data is There?

    Tevin Coleman Gio Bernard Duke Johnson Anyone getting all hot and bothered by the mention of these names? Didn't think so. These backs historically have two things in common. One, they're so unsexy to draft. Two, and more importantly...they get the job done in PPR. If only someone would look at the trends of why and when passing-catching RBs are successful... Today, Mike and special guest Josh Babin discuss just what trends tend to lend itself to passing back success. DISCLAIMER! This was recorded right after the Super Bowl so be prepared for some massage jokes New England fans!
