Running Backs Preview Part Two (08/11 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

We start with how to draft RBs at different spots in your draft. From picks #1 (1:40), #5 (5:50), #8 (9:15) and #12 (16:00) we show you different ways to approach RB. And Ben and Heath join the show today to tell you why you should take late-round fliers on a number of RBs. But Adam suggests this strategy didn't work in 2019, so why will it work this year? ... ADP review begins with the Top 6 RBs (26:00). Does this include Derrick Henry? Does format matter? Then we get to the rest of the RBs we expect to be drafted in Rounds 1 and 2 (34:25). We're talking Aaron Jones, Miles Sanders, Joe Mixon, Nick Chubb, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and more. Next up, we talk the Round 3-4 guys (42:00) like James Conner, Melvin Gordon and Chris Carson ... Getting to the next group (48:00) with David Montgomery, Devin Singletary, Kareem Hunt and more. And then we just talk about everyone else for the rest of the show! Maybe you should consider drafting both D'Andre Swift and Kerryon Johnson, or both Darrell Henderson and Cam Akers. And find out the other players we are targeting late in drafts ...

Running Backs Preview Part One: Sleepers, Strategies and More (08/10 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

The early rounds of your Fantasy drafts will be heavy on RBs this season, so how many RBs should you take with your first three or four picks? Dave and Jamey tell you when they load up at the position (2:30), how they feel about the RB position in general (11:44) and if Zero-RB is a viable strategy this year (19:50). Should you be avoiding the Round 3 and 4 RBs? Should you take Travis Kelce ahead of Aaron Jones? ... More overall strategy talk (25:45) and how it changes in different formats. Any thoughts on taking a RB with each of your first three picks? And how do we feel about the rookies this season (32:00)? ... Sleepers (36:50), breakouts (41:30) and busts (49:30)! A case for Ronald Jones and Darrell Henderson. A case against David Montgomery and Derrick Henry ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

We react to Derrius Guice's release and tell you why Adrian Peterson is NOT the RB to get, even though he seems likely to lead the backfield in carries. So do we like Antonio Gibson? Bryce Love? Peyton Barber?

Tight Ends Preview (08/07 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 07, 2020

Show notes

We tend to think TE is deep every year, but seriously is this the year that TE is actually deep!? And how should that affect your strategy in drafts? We give you several draft options on today's TE preview and our overall TE strategy (7:45) which includes a lengthy discussion about George Kittle and Travis Kelce ... Who are our favorite late-round targets (22:00)? Should you draft two of these guys? Find out why Noah Fant, Blake Jarwin and Jonnu Smith have a lot of potential ... Sleepers (31:40), breakouts (37:15) and busts (45:30) at the position. We've got some Jared Cook, Tyler Higbee and Austin Hooper disagreements, some hope for Evan Engram and some love for T.J. Hockenson. And we finish by reviewing ADP (53:40) as we give our thoughts on Mark Andrews, Zach Ertz, Darren Waller, Rob Gronkowski and more ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

Quarterbacks Preview (08/06 Fantasy Football Podcast) Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

In 2019, pocket passers were replaced atop the Fantasy standings by the mobile QBs. Will that trend continue in 2020 or will we see bounceback seasons from Ben Roethlisberger, Jared Goff, Tom Brady and others? Is Kyler Murray set to break out or is he being drafted too early? Are Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes Round 2 picks? Let's start by discussing how many QBs we're comfortable with as our starter before moving on to some general strategy discussions (4:26). How do our strategies change in 4-point per passing TD leagues (12:45), 2-QB leagues (14:00) and PPR leagues (17:15)? ... Sleepers (21:32), breakouts (36:30) and busts (41:30). Talking about Daniel Jones, Cam Newton, Gardner Minshew and more. And we have a lengthy discussion about the importance of rushing stats ... We finish up with an ADP review (51:00). Find out which players are being overvalued and which late-round QBs we're most excited to have on our teams ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
