Drafting in Different Formats, Bold Predictions! (09/03 Fantasy Football Podcast) Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

We're gonna start the show with a bold prediction from Jamey, Dave and Heath, and we'll get plenty more before the show is over. But we've certainly got to talk about Alvin Kamara (5:30) who is apparently dealing with a back issue. Should he still be the #4 overall pick? Plus more news and notes (8:40) as we discuss Tyrod Taylor, A.J. Green, Darren Waller and Leonard Fournette ... How to draft in different formats! Let's begin with 0.5 PPR (20:30) and discuss so many other formats along the way. Whose values change the most depending on scoring? What about 3-WR leagues (24:55)? Multiple Flex options? What changes in 10-team leagues vs. 14-team leagues (30:30)? What changes in 4-point per passing TD leagues (42:40)? ... Bold predictions from our analysts and the listeners to close the show (48:50)! ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Updating our Position Previews/Strategies (09/01 Fantasy Football Podcast) Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

What has changed since we did our initial position previews in early August? Before we get to that, we'll cover the latest news (3:00) on Alshon Jeffery, Mitchell Trubisky, Saquon Barkley, Ryquell Armstead and more ... Let's revisit QB (16:00)! Why does your RB strategy determine whether or not you should take a Top 6 QB? How do things change in 4-point per passing TD and PPR leagues? Do we prefer Baker Mayfield or Joe Burrow? Which longshot QB could have a surprisingly awesome season? Then we move on to RB (26:00) and a heated debate breaks out! So much strategy talk as Adam tries to defend the Fantasy managers who love Round 1 and Round 2 RBs. Meanwhile, we take guesses about who will be leading the committee backfields by midseason (41:45) ... Our WR strategies (43:01) could change depending on your roster specifications. But regardless, we love Rounds 3-5 for WRs. Who do we take late? Does anyone love Brandin Cooks this season? And we finish with our TE strategies (50:00) including when to take Travis Kelce and George Kittle and much more ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
