Episode 13 – Derek Brown (@DBro_FFB) Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

Fantasy football focuses on what’s done on the field. We as fans want the highlight reels, the touchdowns, the deep passes, and everything else that scores points. But as dynasty owners, we’re also focused on the collective wallets of the NFL. ‘Money talks’ is more than just a catchphrase and Derek Brown (Gridiron Experts, NumberFire, RotoUnderworld) joins us to talk about contracts. We speculate on projected volume based on a player’s salary. Derek gives the DOM duo the basics on what owners can glean from the information out there.

Topics include:

How to properly value player contracts as a dynasty owner
Free agency with respect to a position
Team discussions: Denver, Cleveland
Free agency before the 2019 season
- Who is everyone’s Buy or Sell?

We did it! Ten whole episodes of the Dynasty Owners Manual podcast and who better to celebrate it with than Tyler Ghee. The DOM crew linked up with Tyler on the Open Bar podcast and, after some lengthy Latavius Murray discussion, had to have him on the show.

Show notes

Ever wonder who that guy is that posts long Twitter threads on projections, stats, and other metrics for RotoUnderworld? Well, that’s Peter Howard.

Peter is a writer at DLF and RotoUnderworld has worked on advanced metrics such as Adjusted QBR. We sit down with Peter and get an overview of how to make projections and what to make of adjusted QBR in Part 1 of our two part series. Peter, like all of us, has learned from some of the best in data science, creating projections, and understanding what the stats are telling us about a player. We encourage everyone to give the people mentioned a follow for more resources.

Show notes

Episode 6. Maybe?

Regardless of episode number, we got together with Jacob Buettner (@FFSkiBum) of Dynasty Happy Hour to discuss his work on running back evaluation. Jacob’s used multiple player metrics, draft value, and landing spot to create a model that helps gauge a player’s effectiveness within an offense once they’re drafted. The crew discusses Jacob’s model, rookies from this year’s class, and some basics on the analytics involved with predictive modeling.

Topics include:

Memorable moments of the 2018 draft.

Episode 5 – John Bosch Apr 27, 2018

Show notes

In Episode 5, and it’s just a week before the draft. The crew switches tracks slightly to discuss League Psychology with John Bosch (@EmpireFFL). A recent Twitter poll showed that understanding your league mates and how they play the game can be more valuable than your own understanding of fantasy football. Understanding league psych requires a slightly different approach, so the guys break it all down with some personal anecdotes to help the conversation.

Topics include:

What is League Psychology?
How valuable is it? How do you use it?
How does it compare to other aspects of dynasty football?
Discussion of specific trade examples.
Upcoming charity events.
