    8/18/26 - PPR Draft Strategy: How to Build Your Fantasy Football Team

    How should you approach a PPR fantasy football draft? Sam Holt and Derek Tate break down the best ways to construct a winning roster and determine when to prioritize RBs, WRs, QB, TE, defense, and kicker.

And where do players like Derrick Henry and Quinshon Judkins fit into a PPR draft strategy despite offering less receiving production? Sam and Derek also tackle the biggest draft-day decisions, including Hero RB vs. Robust RB approaches, WR-heavy builds, quarterback and tight end draft timing, and the opportunity cost of taking an elite QB or TE early. Plus, they discuss how late you should wait on your defense and kicker.

    8/11/26 - Hero RB, Zero RB or Robust RB? Building Your Fantasy RB Room

    How should you build your running back room in fantasy football? For years, Zero RB was one of the most popular draft strategies: fade running backs early, load up on elite wide receivers, and chase RB value and upside later in the draft. But has the fantasy football landscape changed? On this episode of Sideline Banter, Sam Holt and Derek Tate break down the biggest running back draft strategies heading into the 2026 fantasy football season. Is Hero RB the best of both worlds, allowing you to secure an elite RB early before focusing on other positions? Should you go Robust RB and load up on running backs in the early rounds? Or is Zero RB still the optimal way to build a championship roster? Sam and Derek discuss RB draft strategy, roster construction, positional value, early-round running backs, late-round RB upside, and how to build a running back room capable of carrying your fantasy team throughout the season. If you're preparing for your 2026 fantasy football draft, this episode will help you determine which RB strategy best fits your league, draft position, and overall roster-building approach.
