Devy Owner’s Manual 3.04- Running Backs and Emmys Jul 24, 2020

Welcome back peeps! Dwight (@FFPeeblesChamp) and Pete (@_PeteLaw) are joined by special guest – straight from Tinseltown, Mr. David Berger (@CarlJunior). The trio talks about the future of running backs, breaking down some of the names coming down the pipeline from Campus heading to Canton. A recap of some of the news and some baseball talk too!

Devy Owner’s Manual 3.3 – Commissioner Talk Jul 15, 2020

The Devy crew is taking a little break to talk with one of the most knowledgeable Commissioners out there (other than Scott, Ryan, and Bosch). Dave Sack (@RonDynasty) joins the Dwight (@FFPeeblesChamp) to talk about being a commissioner in Campus to Canton leagues. Dave runs one of the craziest leagues we have seen – Arrested Devyment 3.

Dave and Dwight have a loosely guided talk about some of the issues that come up in running these leagues and some fun ideas to add to your leagues.

Devy Owner’s Manual 3.2 – The Quarterbacks Jun 26, 2020

Welcome back! The Devy Owner’s crew – Dwight (@ffpeebleschamp) and Pete (@_PeteLaw) are joined by Joseph Nammour (@jnammour24).

Quarterbacks are one of the most important positions, and especially in Superflex leagues. Good quarterbacks can make or break a team and we go over the college quarterbacks coming up over the next few seasons.

Devy Owner’s Manual 3.01- Campus 2 Canton Intro Jun 12, 2020

Welcome back! The Devy Owner’s crew – Dwight (@ffpeebleschamp) and Pete (@_PeteLaw)- are back and heading down a new path with the Devy Manual.

Campus to Canton, Heisman to Halas, Pipeline – we are now focusing on these types of leagues. We will talk a ton about devy players still but the strategy in these leagues far exceeds devy. We will talk about setting up these leagues, running them, playing in them – and we will bring you all the information and guests we can!

We tackled some listener questions in this episode and apologize for the audio issues – it was tough to edit this puppy!

DOM Episode 67 – Part 1 – *THE* JMic (@JMicCheck) May 23, 2020

Talking through our process and re-living trades is almost therapeutic. We can acknowledge mistakes or claim victory in holding on to our strategy. JMic brings it all to the conversation. His experience and ability to bring together information from all sources to guide his strategy makes a thoughtful conversation that we broke into two parts. Listen carefully as the dynasty manager mentality/mindset presented is likely shared by many in your league.

Topics Discussed:

Our Top 12 in SF
Trading within SF leagues (practical application)
- Watching your league mates and their moves
- Understanding value vs need
Running Backs and their second contract
Moving Future First Round Picks

DOM Episode 66 – Part 3 – Peter Howard (@pahowdy) May 23, 2020

All good things must come to an end. Peter gives us his last takes on the WR class and a bit more along with some ideas for why guys with solid draft capital were falling in his models. If you haven’t already, subscribe to Peter’s Patreon account to get more of his thoughts:

https://www.patreon.com/pahoward

Topics Discussed:

Players Discussed
- Michael Pittman
- Henry Ruggs
- K.J. Hamler
- Antonio Gandy-Golden
Brandon Aiyuk – draft capital vs college metrics
Guys just outside the Top 12
- Laviska Shenault

DOM Episode 66 – Part 2 – Peter Howard (@pahowdy) May 14, 2020

“Sucking in the NFL is worse than being great in college.” – Peter Howard

Can’t miss gems like this from Peter. We continue our look into his Top 12 wide receivers along with stops along the way to talk about some of the stats and narratives that fuel his process.

Topics Discussed:

Bill Belichick – Because…why not?
Wide Receivers
- Denzel Mims
- Henry Ruggs
- Bryan Edwards
- Laviska Shenault
- Tee Higgins
Metrics that are or would be useful
- Yards per Team Attempt
- aDOT
- Slot Rate
Where does N’Keal Harry fit into this class?

DOM Episode 66 – Part 1 – Peter Howard (@pahowdy) May 09, 2020

We asked him to be reasonable. He gave us the nah wave.

We were looking for flaws in his process or hot takes to poke holes into. He talked through a logical process.

It only made sense to bring back Peter Howard to the show shortly after the draft. With so much noise in the community, we needed the guy that’s literally “@-ing” the haters. The guy that can add some numbers and theory to guide us through our drafts. Our focus was Peter’s Top 12 wide receivers, but conversations with Peter can be a windy road with stops along the way to argue about running backs and veterans to support the process.

Topics Discussed:

Peters Process
- Breakout Age
- Draft Capital – Draft Round and Draft Pick
- Hit Rate
- Pre/Post-Draft Model
Who’s the 1.01? (CEH or JT)
The Fallacy of Vacated Targets
Can we use draft capital to project target share in Year 1?
Players/Situations Discussed
- C.D. Lamb (Michael Gallup)
- Jalen Reagor (Alshon Jeffery)
- Jerry Jeudy
- Justin Jefferson

DOM Episode 65 – Part 2 – Bobby Koch (@RekedFantasy) Apr 23, 2020

The conversation continues with Bobby as we go deeper into the draft. You might have to stretch or squint to see the upside in some of these players, but some of their college points to upside for us as dynasty owners. Bobby lays out excellent points for each that dynasty managers should consider as we learn about each prospect and their landing spot as the draft unfolds.

Quarterbacks discussed:

Jacob Eason to Tampa Bay
Jake Fromm to Green Bay
Anthony Gordon to Minnesota

DOM Episode 65 – Part 1 – Bobby Koch (@RekedFantasy) Apr 16, 2020

The top of the NFL draft has been the focus of both the real and fantasy football community since February. Will Cincinnati actually take Burrow? Will Miami take Tua? Will any team move up or down in the draft to get their guy? The intrigue rightfully has our attention, but there are other prospects of interest. Other guys that can possibly fill a role either in 2020 or beyond. The quarterback position will likely see more turnover after the 2020 season with multiple veterans in their final season(s). The quarterbacks entering the league have their chance at assuming those roles and those possibilities aren’t limited to just Tua and Burrow. We brought on Bobby Koch to discuss some of the quarterbacks we’re not talking a lot about to look at their skillsets and possible landing spots. Depending on where they fall, we need to be ready to adjust our ranks should the opportunity arise.

Quarterbacks discussed:

Justin Herbert to Los Angeles (Chargers)
Jordan Love to New Orleans
Jalen Hurts to Indianapolis

Devy Owner’s Manual Episode 2.4 – Spring Battles with Kane Fossell Apr 13, 2020

The birds are chirping, it’s raining all the time, it feels like spring….

But no SPRING FOOTBALL GAMES! The guys – Dwight @ffpeebleschamp and Pete @_PeteLaw – are joined by Kane Fosell @Devy_Kane of the Devy Marketplace to discuss what we think would have happened in the key spring battles. Lots of SEC talk as usual, a little Big Ten, and all over the country to talk about the biggest battles out there.

DOM Episode 64 – Part 2 – Addison Hayes (@amazehayes_) Apr 11, 2020

We’re back with the second part of our discussion with Addison. We start to dig a bit deeper as the dynasty value falls into the later rounds. Regardless, Addison brought the fire to talk up some of the prospects that may see their stock rise after the draft.

Topics Discussed:

Players mocked/reviewed:
- Tyler Johnson to Los Angeles (Chargers)
- K.J. Hamler to New York (Jets)
- Michael Pittman Jr. to Miami
- Joe Burrow to Cincinnati
- Tua Tagovailoa to Miami
- Jalen Hurts to Indianapolis

DOM Episode 64 – Part 1 – Addison Hayes (@amazehayes_) Apr 07, 2020

Addison Hayes (@amazehayes_) dropped by the show to help us keep up with the rookie hype as the virtual NFL draft approaches. We took Matt Miller’s latest mock and went through our thought process for how each player’s fantasy stock would be affected by the draft should these picks come to pass. Using some of the tools available at DLF, Addison helps us go figure out any impact on fantasy value along with our thoughts on rational team building given the team’s current state.

Topics Discussed:

The Draft
Players mocked/reviewed:
- Jerry Jeudy to San Francisco
- CeeDee Lamb to Denver
- Jonathan Taylor to Pittsburgh
- Laviska Shenault Jr. to Jacksonville
- Justin Jefferson to Philadelphia
- Denzel Mims to Green Bay

DOM Episode 63 – Chris and Adam Talk Free Agency Mar 20, 2020

We needed the break. With so much going on around us, the start of Free Agency was a well-timed distraction as quite a few of the offseason narratives suddenly became real. The action is spawning a lot of debates with more to come as the Draft approaches. In the meantime, the DOM crew sat down to discuss what some of the moves means to them and how to process the information moving forward.

Topics Discussed:

The Colts team building
Free agency
- Cam’s likely departure from Carolina
- Nuk and DJ trading places
- Quarterback value in dynasty
- Tom Brady…to the Bucs?

DOM Episode 62 – Part 3 – Jesse Reeves (@JesseReevesFF) Mar 13, 2020

We couldn’t keep Jesse all night, but we sure tried. In this last segment, we try to look at the draft from the team’s perspective. How they might process their current personnel and continue to build their roster into a contender. While we all have fantasy on the brain, the NFL is concerned with winning so not every pick has to have a major fantasy impact. But, of course, we had to keep it spicy for the listeners.

Topics Discussed:

Instead of looking at this class from a player/college production standpoint, let’s reverse engineer some team needs and see who fits
- ATL – Took on the most RB interviews at the Combine, Hooper likely to walk in free agency
- SEA – Russ asking for more pass catchers (#LetRussCook)
- ARI – Is investing in more receivers the way to go?

Devy Owner’s Manual 2.3 The Combine with Galileo Mar 13, 2020

Welcome back! A new episode recapping the Combine!

The Underwear Olympics are finished and pro days are upon us. Dwight @FFPeeblesChamp and Pete @_PeteLaw are joined by Ben @jetpackGalileo to talk about players who did well and raised their stock, also some that took a hit. They also talk about draft pick value and things they are doing right now in their Devy leagues. Be sure to follow us and check out Dynasty League Football @DLFootball for your fantasy football informational needs!

DOM Episode 62 – Part 2 – Jesse Reeves (@JesseReevesFF) Mar 11, 2020

The conversation continues in Part 2 with Jesse. We keep coming back to some of our Combine takeaways but with more strategic talk behind it. Plus, we got deeper into some of the winners/losers of from the Combine with a preliminary look at some team fits for the Chargers based on some of the profiles Jesse has created.

Topics Discussed:

Drafting for need/BPA based as it pertains to the Combine
Biggest winners/losers
What will the Chargers do in 2020?
Zack Moss
- Our thoughts pre/post Combine
- How to value players with his profile

DOM Episode 62 – Part 1 – Jesse Reeves (@JesseReevesFF) Mar 09, 2020

More and more news and speculation are coming out of the Combine and we’ve got to fill up the downtime with something. Highlight reels, hot takes, rankings, and models will keep us occupied as the NFL inches towards April 23rd. Of the many voices out there in the draft community, Jesse Reeves is one of the few worth your time. Jesse sat down with the DOM crew for nearly 2 hours to talk about…well…everything. In Part 1, we cover his latest projects and how dynasty managers should approach the information coming out of the Combine.

Topics Discussed:

Content creation and navigating social media
New and upcoming content
- The Draft Dialogue
- Rookie Index
The Combine
- Double counting
- What should we care about

DOM Episode 61 – Part 2 – Jordan McNamara (@McNamaraDynasty) Mar 04, 2020

We’re back with Part II of the discussion with Jordan. We go a bit deeper into the analytics behind draft strategy and the value of picks as Jordan details the processes he’s built up over the years detailed in his book (analyticsofdynasty.com). Be sure to check out Part I for more info on the book and what went into its creation.

Topics discussed:

Consistency and how it affects draft strategy
Using profiles to determine player value
The value of rookie picks
- Using WORP to quantify a random future pick

DOM Episode 61 – Part 1 – Jordan McNamara (@McNamaraDynasty) Mar 02, 2020

Our timelines are loaded with highlight reels and projections for landing spots as The Combine comes to a close. But dynasty owners need to stay above the hype and maintain a zen-like focus on making optimal decisions for their squad. The type don’t lie, but analytical trends don’t either as Jordan McNamara emphasizes in his latest book (The Analytics of Dynasty). Jordan stops by to go over his process for both writing and analyzing data in this first part of a two-part series with Chris.

Topics discussed:

Writing a book on dynasty
- Planning, designing studies, and editing
The Combine
- What are the high-level takeaways or things we should focus on
Strategy around prospects during this time of the offseason

DOM Episode 60 – Derek Brown (@DBro_FFB) Feb 22, 2020

When you get just the DOM crew together for a show, without a guest, the show is calm, cool, and collected. Adam talks into the back of his microphone. Chris keeps the show on time. That’s never been the case when Derek joins the show. One of TQE’s finest analysts stops by for a nearly two-hour conversation that turned into a rollercoaster ride. There was laughter, some backtracking on previous takes, and debates over landing spots that will only be solved by the draft. Come listen to Derek wax poetic on the rookie running back class and the dynasty strategy you should be using in your leagues this offseason.

Topics Discussed:

Dynasty strategy regarding rookie RBs
Factors to look into
Early-round RBs vs late-round RBs and their value

Topics Discussed:

DOM Episode 58 – Curtis Patrick (@CPatrickNFL) Feb 07, 2020

It’s officially the offseason and it’s time for our attention to turn to the incoming rookie class. With that, we need metrics, tools, and content to help us in evaluating the prospects we’ll see countless highlights and lowlights ahead of our rookie drafts. The DOM crew brought in Curtis Patrick of RotoViz to go over what he and the rest of dynasty crew have been working on ahead of the offseason. From strategy to taking a stance on rookies, we walk through the thought process for approaching this upcoming class and the logic behind our decisions.

Topics discussed:

Rules for start ups
Time of year affecting draft strategy
Trading top assets
Top WR and RB in the 2020 class
Tools and content available at RotoViz

DOM Episode 57 – Offseason Rap with JMic Jan 31, 2020

New flavor. Same cast of characters. The DOM Crew brought in the ever-insightful John Michael (@JMicCheck) to wax poetic on the current dynasty storylines and what he sees coming during the 2020 offseason. There was no topic that didn’t end up going down a rabbit hole as discussion about wide receivers led to Robert Griffin III to Kirk Cousins and how the Washington franchise. There was no stone left unturned as the topic of fatherhood was brought up with Adam expecting his first child in the next month. Was it a fun conversation? Well, that’s automatic.

Topics Discussed:

Diontae Johnson vs James Washington
2019 rookies we’d like to see get more work in 2020
2019 players we’re still salty about
Players we want to see end up as the #1 Fantasy Player in 2020
Is N’Keal Harry a buy in dynasty?
Kobe and Life as Girl Dad

DOM Episode 56 – Offseason Banter Jan 24, 2020

We talked about it last episode, but the DOM crew wanted to try some new formats for the 2020 season. As the Senior Bowl continues, Super Bowl practices ramp up, and dynasty mocks flash across our timelines all day, we took a step back to go over the narratives and questions over the past week and our approach to players and their value. Not as in-depth as our previous shows, but you get more of an off the cuff look at thoughts and how we approach dynasty. Plus, Adam has a few drinks while we talk. Hope you enjoy!

Topics Discussed:

Player Comps to Drinks
Latavius Murray vs Mark Ingram
Eli Manning HoF and the Hall of Very Good
Cincinnati in 2020
Our favorite rookies

DOM Episode 55 – Season 3…We’re Back Jan 10, 2020

And we’re back!

The struggles of the regular season are over and we’re back to looking into free agents and the incoming rookie class. The DOM crew gives a quick update on some changes to the show, some of the latest news in the NFL coaching world, quick thoughts on player value, and a look at their views on the first round of the upcoming. More to come as the offseason progresses!

Topics include:

Our work with the @DLFootball mailbag
The three new categories our shows will fall under
Panthers head coach signing
AJ Brown v. DK Halfcaf
What to do in the first round

DOM Episode 54 – Russ Fisher (@DynastyOuthouse) Nov 08, 2019

We’re back! Just for a minute.

We’re past the halfway mark of the 2019 regular season and most dynasty teams are at a crossroads. Surrendering to a lost season due to injuries or just plain old bad luck seems depressing, but the promise of next year keeps dynasty managers in tune with what’s going on week to week. With so much attention on redraft and DFS action, dynasty can sometimes take a back seat. But the DOM crew got back together with the lovely Russ Fisher to go over some processes any dynasty manager can apply given their situation. Talking through some of our own bad decisions can lead to a better understanding of the path forward with an eye on the championship in 2019 or rebuilding for 2020 or beyond.

Topics Discussed:

Adam’s terrible team
Being honest with your team and its standing within the league
When to sell vets and begin rebuilding
Selling high and selling low
Selling to contenders

DOM Episode 53 – Sigmund Bloom (@SigmundBloom) Aug 29, 2019

We’re a week out from the 2019 season and the offseason debates will finally be settled. Sort of. Through the chaos that is the regular season, it can be hard to find definitive proof who’s right or wrong. Right, wrong, or right for the wrong reasons still gives us an opportunity to review the information we used to get us to our decision. Our process is always something we can adjust and a healthy combination of analytics and narratives can get us there. There’s nobody better than the Mayor of Narrative Street to give us insight into how to use them to our advantage. Bloom outlines his thought process to the DOM crew using the 2019 offseason as a backdrop. With the season upon us, it’s time to pay attention and wait for new information to adjust our strategy.

Topics Discussed:

The purpose of narratives in fantasy football
Team-level discussion
- Investing in the play-callers vs the players
Player discussion
- Damien Williams’ talent vs situation
- Todd Gurley in 2019
- Curtis Samuel drumbeat

DOM Episode 52 – Derek Brown (@DBro_FFB) Jul 22, 2019

The final episode in our position series. We’ve covered it all to date, but we can’t forget the tight end postiion. More and more viable options have popped up over the last few seasons, but there’s more to the position than being able to catch a pass. Frequent guest Derek Brown (TQE, Fantasy Black Book, Triple T pod) stops by to go over his thoughts about the position. From the rookies to the vets, there are traits and team needs that separate the elite from the rest.

Topics Discussed:

Nuances to the position
Metrics used for evaluation
Drafting tight ends in start ups
Player situations
- The Big Three
- OJ Howard
- Hunter Henry
- David Njoku

DOM Episode 51 – Justin Edwards (@Justin_Redwards) Jul 15, 2019

Part 4 of the positional series…isn’t a singular position. It can be argued that offensive line play drives most of the production that we as fantasy managers care so much about. But ‘the trenches’ aren’t our focus. We look at the guy with the ball. But how is the quarterback afforded the time to scan the field? How are rushing lanes formed? It’s often discussed as a by-product not THE product that can help or hurt fantasy scoring. Justin Edwards (4for4, Pro Football Focus) sits down with the DOM crew to go over his process for evaluating a unit and how teams adjust to their personnel.

Topics Discussed:

Common misconceptions of offensive line
The minutia: why we should care about OL strength
Situations to monitor?

DOM Episode 50 – Bob Lung (@Bob_Lung) Jul 08, 2019

The running back position has so much nuance to it that we struggle to identify what’s important. Blocking schemes, surrounding talent, snaps…it all becomes a part of our vocabulary when, sometimes, the production speaks for itself. Bob Lung (author of the Consistency Guide) joins the DOM crew to look past the film and discuss how these running backs have produced. On-field talent is a constant debate, but the results speak for themselves. Bob’s analysis gives us an idea of who we should be targeting in our drafts based on usage allowing us to avoid ADP traps and investing in poor offensive situations. The numbers are there, but Bob’s done the heavy lifting in sorting through the noise to find what’s relevant.

Topics Discussed:

What is consistency
Running back situations
- San Francisco
- Los Angeles Rams
Film/Consistency Discussion
- Rashaad Penny
- David Johnson
- James White

Episode 49 – Mark Schofield (@MarkSchofield) Jul 01, 2019

The positional series continues with Part II: Quarterbacks. The DOM crew brings in the best in the industry to give their approach to each evaluating each position with a short film session to apply the concepts discussed. Mark Schofield (Locked On Patriots, Pro Football Weekly) brings his process to the show to go over his perspective on the quarterback position, mechanics, and some of the most valuable traits a prospect needs in order to succeed in the NFL.

DOM Episode 48 – Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) Jun 24, 2019

Ever want to learn how an analyst approaches their craft? What they see while they evaluate players? Dynasty owners rely so much on film analysis from some of the best in the business it only made sense to go to the source. DOM is kicking off a positional series where we dig into the nuances around talent evaluation at all levels. From veterans to rookies, you’ll get to hear from top-tier evaluators for their process and how you can value players going forward.

First up, wide receivers with none other than Matt Harmon. Reception Perception (available through the Fantasy Footballers Ultimate Draft Kit) has become a standard reference tool in the fantasy community. Another piece of the puzzle we all can use to form that picture of the player and how the team can use them.

BOM Episode 4 Best Ball Prep With Eliot Crist Jun 09, 2019

TQE’s Director of Production and Analytics, Eliot Crist joins us to discuss the turmoil with the Jets and to breakdown some top plays for the Best Ball Championship on DRAFT.

DOM Episode 47 – Bobby Koch (@RekedFantasy) Jun 03, 2019

Third-round rookie picks. Other than using them as part of a trade, you can actually draft players with them. But, which ones? Dart throw and lottery ticket players all follow a similar archetype: a story. Bobby Koch (DLF, Zooperflex Podcast) returns to the pod to show us the way to Narrative Street. The stories we need to tell ourselves how a player can meet or exceed value matters for these late-round picks. Bobby walks the DOM crew through a thought exercise on how players from the 2019 class can be those players you want to stash. As the 2019 begins, they could be the ones you want at the end of your bench.

Topics Discussed:

Late-round pick strategy
Creating narratives
Players discussed:
- Bobby – Trayveon Williams, Preston Williams, Josh Oliver
- Chris – Dexter Williams, KeeSean Johnson, Ryquell Armstead
- Adam – Myles Boykin, Terry McLaurin, Dawson Knox

DOM Episode 46 – Kacey Kasem (@TheKaceyKasem) May 27, 2019

The first year of anything new can be difficult. You’re taking in new information, looking at old information in a new light, interacting with new people…it’s just different. Dynasty formats fall into this category. It’s not redraft nor DFS. Contracts, team fits, and draft capital now drive the conversation. Trade negotiations are daily conversations. There’s always something to do. Kacey Kasem (Fighting Change Fantasy) comes back to the show to talk about her first year in dynasty. Her stories prompt the DOM crew to get all up in their feelings about past mistakes and the episode turns into a therapy session for everyone.

Topics Discussed:

Recapping Year 1 of dynasty
Incorporating New Formats
Gaining perspective on players
Group Therapy Session
Leaning on certain positions in dynasty

DOM Episode 45 – Connor Allen (@ConnorAllenNFL) May 20, 2019

The 2019 running back class is limited in top-tier talent, but that hasn’t stopped the dynasty community in finding new argument and narratives to support or devalue the players based on their respective ADPs. To help in assessing the class, Connor Allen (Rotoworld, The Quant Edge, Sharp Football) sits down with the DOM crew to discuss his RB ranks along with looking at each prospect and their associated risk. College production, landing spot, and team outlook now become the focus as we wait for more news out of training camps. While rookie drafts and startups are still occurring, it’s best to approach each draft with a full understanding of the player’s talent, fit, and risk as they begin their NFL careers.

Topics Discussed:

Approaching the “He’s Never Did It in College” argument
Converting ranks into draft picks
Josh Jacobs and all Oakland dynasty assets
The LA Rams’ backfield

DOM Episode 44 – Derek Brown (@DBro_FFB) May 13, 2019

Drafting is an art/science unto itself. Roster construction, draft position, and league-mate tendencies all become factors in the decision-making process. Regardless of if it’s a start-up or rookie draft, different strategies can be applied to continue molding our rosters into contenders. Or, can they? Derek Brown (TQE, FantasyData, Grid Iron Experts) rejoins the DOM crew to talk about his approach to drafting. The 2019 class offers a lot of niche players jumbling our perception of value. While ADP might drive value, do we adhere to value or try and fit players into what we need? Derek brings the noise this week with helpful tips for any dynasty manager.

Topics Discussed:

BPA vs Drafting for Need
Identifying roster needs
Edge to mortgaging future picks for current assets

DOM Episode 43 – Jesse Reeves (@JesseReevesFF) May 06, 2019

Take all your pre-draft rankings and throw them in the trash. NFL GMs inserted a bit of chaos into the dynasty community as we watched the draft unfold. We’re now to the point where a clear understanding of fantasy value comes into play. It’s not just about talent anymore. We have draft capital, situation, and team fit to consider. So who should we continue to value or has the pre-draft hype now inflated their cost? Jesse Reeves (@JesseReevesFF) comes back on with the DOM crew to go over the highlights (and lowlights) of the draft along with adjusting to the 2019 landscape.

Topics:

Biggest Losers
- Harmon
- Butler
- AJ Brown
Biggest Risers
- Hardman
- Campbell
- Isabella
Murky Situations
- AJ Brown
- Butler
- Metcalf

DOM Episode 42 – Memphis (@DFFMemphis) Apr 30, 2019

It’s over. The draft has come and gone and rookie drafts are already underway. The problem is that landing spots have changed our perception about many of the players and their value. Here’s where the #Process becomes important. We’ve gone from traits and college production to team fit and draft capital. How teams will try and maximize a player’s talent will be the focus and dynasty managers should keep that as their focus. The Outlaw (@DFFMemphis) helps the DOM crew with a mental exercise as the dynasty community heads into the rookie draft season. Using previous classes, we can gauge how managers have reacted to prospects given their draft capital, college production, and their subsequent team fit. How we valued them pre and post-draft can help set the tone for our approach to the 2019 class.

Topics Discussed:

Feelings about the 2019 class
Value of picks compared to the previous classes
Past Prospects
- John Kelly
- Royce Freeman
- Cooper Kupp
- Christian McCaffrey
Current Rookies
- Rodney Anderson
- Andy Isabella
- JJ Arcega-Whiteside

BOM Episode 2 – Rookie Strategies for Best Ball Leagues Apr 25, 2019

In this week’s episode of BOM we delve into the NFL Draft and discuss our favorite (and least favorite) picks for your best ball teams. We cover when to consider drafting the top players from this year’s class and which positions we have the most confidence in using rookies. Should you trust a first year WR? When should RB’s start coming of the board? We answer these questions and many more.

DOM Episode 41 – Russ Fisher (@DynastyOuthouse) Apr 22, 2019

To take over as reigning champion of guest appearances, Russ Fisher (@DynastyOuthouse) joins the DOM crew the week before the draft. Owners are getting restless. Trades are flying into manager’s inboxes. We need the calm, cool collectedness that is the co-host of the Trade Addicts podcast. Before you click accept on your next offer, sit back and evaluate your draft position and also your team needs. Everyone’s ranks have players valued similarly, but we there can only be one player selected when you’re on the clock. So, to help prepare, a mock draft using DLF data was used as a starting point. The pick, the value of the pick, the player, and the strategy behind the pick was given to give future managers a blueprint for their upcoming rookie drafts.

Topics Discussed –

Roster construction situations triggering trades
What do with your first-round pick?
Using tiers to assess rookie value
Player Value
- N’Keal Harry
- DK Metcalf
- Josh Jacobs
- AJ Brown

DOM Episode 40 – Shane Manila (@DFF_Shane) Apr 15, 2019

The dynasty community is getting restless as the countdown to the NFL Draft continues. As your inbox fills with trade offers, it’s important to understand if you even need to make a move before we see how the league values these players. The DOM crew had Shane Manila (@DFF_Shane) stop in to discuss that very topic. Fear of missing out and the desire to do anything fantasy relevant can be a real and sometimes detrimental reaction in dynasty. Without understanding how your entire roster might perform or the picks you’ve acquired, you could be sitting on a championship team without requiring any additional moves. Patience is a difficult practice and Shane helps describe what situations best call for each eaction.

Topics Discussed:

Always staying connected to the NFL…to a point
Marquise Brown – Worth a first-round pick?
Using MFL tools to rate your team
Types of rosters to determine moves going into the offseason
Approach to the 2019 class

BOM – Episode One, “Introduction to Bestball Owner’s Manual” Apr 14, 2019

In their first episode of Best Ball Owner’s Manual, fantasy football experts Brad Reyes and Jeremy Browand lay out what you can expect from BOM as the best ball season starts to heat up. They also introduce some basic concepts and formats unique to best ball leagues, and weight the pros and cons of various formats, while discussing the impact of current events on your fantasy football squad.

DOM Episode 39 – Dynasty Owner’s Mock Draft Apr 08, 2019

The NFL Draft is almost upon us and analyst rankings are being shuffled as the debate on traits and production near their end. While the Draft ends speculation on landing spot, the fantasy discussion on future volume begins to take shape. But all we have to rely on now is the data at hand and our own sources of input and valuation process. The DOM crew teamed up with the DevyOM squad to walk through a first-round mock draft. Process, players, and production are critical as we look to improve our rosters. The mock draft and the discussion during the show is a great mental exercise for how each manager should approach their own while substituting in their preferred players at the proper draft slot. Plus, an outtake at the end of the show!

Topics Discussed:

Draft process
Player production
Best/Worst case landing spots
Owner’s Manual Top 12
Players not mentioned

DOM Episode 38 – Jesse Reeves (@JesseReevesFF) Apr 01, 2019

The process for evaluating rookies can be difficult with multiple sources of input. The draft is nearly here and the dynasty community has been overloaded with content. From The Combine to the information released after Pro Days, the rankings are being constantly adjusted as we learn more. Grinding tape and analyzing data never stops so a process for establishing a baseline value is immensely useful. Jesse Reeves from FFStatistics stopped by to talk with the DOM crew. Jesse’s new to the rankings scene and provides his input on how he determines how to rack and stack the incoming class. Afterward, the player discussion begins. The primary offensive positions are tackled with a discussion on traits, value, and landing spot.

Topics Discussed:

Sources of Input/Inspiration
Draft Process
Wide Receivers (Metcalf, Brown)
Running Backs (Sanders, Barnes)
Quarterbacks (Haskins, Lock)

DOM Episode 37 – Ethan Turner (@ETurnerFF_PT) Mar 25, 2019

Injuries can change…everything. They can change our value on the player, the offense, the placement player…everything. But how much? Our perception and prognostication of how injuries affect a player vary between dynasty managers. Ethan Turner is here to help set us straight. Both his experience and profession help him determine what’s important in analyzing an injury occurrence. He sat down with the DOM crew to go over his process and provided some nuggets on what we can do to improve our perception of injuries. Of course, we couldn’t let him come on without some practical application. From Andrew Luck to Jordan Reed, Ethan provided a blueprint for approaching player value and how we can assess their outlook as more information from the league if provided.

Topics Discussed:

What to look for on tape
Do we overvalue injuries?
Types of injuries and their impact on a position
Players discussed:
- Andrew Luck
- Cam Newton
- Jordan Reed
- Tyler Eifert

DOM Episode 36 – Peter Howard (@pahowdy) Mar 19, 2019

The offseason is when the public spends most of its time on Narrative Street. Evidence-based takes fall into the background as we argue over prospect highlight reels and what-if scenarios regarding draft position or NFL production. It’s a season unto itself.

We had to bring Peter back to help us zero in on what matters. Or, at least, what doesn’t matter. His analysis into college production gives us the signals and thresholds for prospects. Are they 100% effective? Nope. But we can extract a process for evaluating a player based on what information is available. Outliers or players that buck the trend can come from any class. But as dynasty managers, we’ll need something to clue us in on a player’s potential to keep them on our squad.

DOM Episode 35 – The Dynasty Dummies (@DynastyDummies) Mar 11, 2019

The events preceding the NFL Draft always produce multiple narratives for each player. The Senior Bowl and Combine offer different views of the incoming draft class and it can be difficult to sort through what’s important. So instead of getting one voice to talk through the data, we got two. Zac Reed (@tacitassassin13) and Kyle LaBreck (@klabreck) are two of the most insightful analysts when it comes to assessing prospects and what they mean for your dynasty squad. We corralled them onto the show to talk about the latest events surround the NFL draft and specific players that should be on our radars as rookie drafts approach.

Topics Discussed:

What events from The Combine matter most?
How do we process information taken from the Senior Bowl?
Who most affected their draft stock after the Combine?
Players to keep an eye on

Co-Owning a team
Philosophy on Rookie Picks

The offseason is a time for many things. Adjusting rosters, acquiring picks, or even just taking a mental break from the constant media input is all useful to dynasty managers. Justin Barlow (FF Outfitters, Dynasty Trade Calculator) hops on with the DOM crew to talk about his approach to the offseason. Taking a break can help us see the bigger picture and find an edge against our leaguemates. From the rookies to the vets, there are multiple paths to constructing our championship rosters.

Episode 30 – The Owner’s Manual Pod Jan 01, 2019

The fantasy season is officially over, but is it really?

Dynasty owners turn away from their weekly lineups to their overall roster as college players enter the draft. Bowl games and media hype fuel much of what we see on social media, but there’s plenty of useful content to consume before our drafts. To help, the Dynasty Owner’s Manual pod became the Owner’s Manual pod as the fellas from the Devy Owner’s Manual show hopped on to discuss the players they’ve been tracking. Andrew Harbaugh (@DHH_Mandrew) came on to talk about his offensive players (besides Noah Fant). Dwight Peebles (@FFPeeblesChamp) walked us through the defensive players for the IDP inclined. We’re just scratching the surface as #draftszn kicks off for dynasty GMs with a handful of names to watch out for as the offseason continues.

Episode 29 – Chris Svoboda (@TheSvobodaDHH) Dec 01, 2018

It’s that time of year where fantasy GMs scrutinize every single matchup and become hypersensitive to daily news. Injuries, matchups, and practice participation all take center stage as the playoffs drown us in feelings of confidence mixed with a tinge of fear. Is your roster ready for the playoffs? Are you already looking at 2019? Regardless of your situation, Chris Svoboda of the Dynasty Happy Hour crew joins the DOM squad to discuss his playoff processes given his team situation.

Episode 28 – Etan Mozia (@FF_Wonderkid) Nov 24, 2018

There are a number of metrics that we as dynasty GMs consider when evaluating a player. Their age, their contract, their role on the team…all play a part in determining the risk associated with retaining them or dealing them away. Each is important, but how should they be weighted? Etan Mozia (@FF_Wonderkid) from Fantrax sat down with the DOM crew to discuss his composite scores and how they were developed. These carefully crafted scores look at each of the aforementioned stats as a way to quantify a player’s value moving forward. The spreadsheets are a living document such that as situations change, so do the scores. Etan gives specific examples as to how the spreadsheets and scores can be used with an eye on 2019 and its continual development.

Topics discussed:

What stats and variables affect the composite scores?
What contracts and player situations are being tracked closest over the next year?
The evolution of the slot receiver role

Episode 27 – Jeff Miller (@FFJeffM) Nov 17, 2018

Who’s the man with the funny tweets? Who can’t remember what he eats? Who can’t be beat? Who is elite? Jeff Miller, Jeff Miller, Jeff Miller.

This makes more sense if you read it to the tune of Sanka’s boxcar race chant from ‘Cool Runnings’. An odd pop-culture reference? Sure. But that’s essentially how conversations with Jeff Miller go down. The DLF writer and 4for4 Twitter account manager took the DOM crew on winding conversation that went from the future of the NFL to possible dynasty trades to beer. It’s all…mostly relevant…but the heart of the conversation was how to address the varying situations that all owners are facing at this point in the season. Whether you’re a lock for the playoffs, a contender (or pretender), or missing the playoffs entirely, there’s a path forward to either win now or win in 2019.

Topics Discussed:

What to do when you’re a lock for the playoffs
What to do when you’re a middle of the road team
How to address looking ahead to 2019 and being out of the playoffs
Players to target and contextualizing trade values

Episode 25 – Andrew Harbaugh (@DHH_Mandrew) Oct 08, 2018

Dynasty GMs focus on the now during the NFL season with some attention paid towards the future. Because the college football season occurs during the same time period of the year, we tend to miss out on the prospects that typically end up on our rosters in a couple years. Andrew Harbaugh of Dynasty Happy Hour sits down with the DOM crew to cover a couple of receivers that might be of interest to the dynasty community soon enough. Andrew walks through his process, talent evaluation, and what he saw on film from both players. The conversation and the methods discussed can be applied to any upcoming prospect and should be part of anyone’s process so they can acquire talent at a low cost should they declare for the NFL.
