Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2017 Wide Receivers Preview Aug 16, 2017

Show notes

The beginning of the 2017 NFL regular season is drawing closer by the day. On Thursday, the second full week of the preseason will be underway. And fantasy football draft season is kicking into high gear. As fantasy enthusiasts far and wide get ready to pick their teams for the upcoming campaign, it’s time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy to continue their position-by-position look at the season to come. Next up, it’s the wide receivers – a position that’s grown in importance in recent years. In fact, it’s the wideouts who some fantasy pundits consider the most important position in the game. Much like with the running backs (before last week, anyway), there’s a “Big 3” among receivers, with Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Odell Beckham of the New York Giants and Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons all vying for top honors. Who’s the king of the hill – and do any of these players merit consideration at No. 1 overall? Of course, there’s more to the receivers than just the high-end studs. Who are the undervalued pass-catchers savvy fantasy owners should look to add on draft day? Who are the overvalued receivers to avoid? Are there any “sleeper” types who could rise from obscurity to lead fantasy owners to the promised land? And what about this year’s rookie class? The Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang will break down everything you need to know about the wide receivers this year on Wednesday, April 16 at 7PM ET. They’ll also break down all the latest fantasy news – including last week’s bombshell suspension. Come on in – the water’s FINE! Call-In Number: (347) 826-9620

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2017 Running Backs Preview Aug 09, 2017

Show notes

We’re into the month of August. The Hall of Fame Game is in the books. And later this week the preseason begins in earnest. And with it that most wonderful time of year in fantasy football… Fantasy draft season. Last week here at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, we discussed the quarterbacks. This week the focus of the gang at the FFFF (or 4F, as the kids say) turns to arguably the most important position in fantasy football. The position that dominates the top of drafts in 2017. It’s running back time, baby! Who is top dog at the position this year? Is it David Johnson of the Arizona Cardinals, who led the position in total fantasy points last year? Or is it Le’Veon Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who was No. 1 in terms of fantasy points per game? And what of the Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys, the second-year rushing king awaiting a potential suspension from the league offices? Of course, there’s much more to the tailbacks than just the “Big 3,” whether it’s grizzled veterans like LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills or up-and-coming youngsters like Jordan Howard of the Chicago Bears. Which undervalued backs should fantasy owners target? Which busts in the making are set to crush championship dreams ala Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams? What late-round lottery tickets are about to come from nowhere to lead fantasy squads to the playoffs? And what about this year’s rookie class? For everything you need to know about fantasy running backs in 2017, join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy on Wednesday, August 8 at 7 PM Eastern. Come on in – the water’s FINE!

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Hey Hey Hey, It's OTAs! Jun 21, 2017

Show notes

It’s summertime. The kids are out of school. Grills are going across the country. And it’s time for an annual ritual that’s as American as apple pie. Camp. It’s time for songs around the campfire. Tasty s’mores. And padless practices where contact is a big ol’ no-no. Those things may not all be happening in the same place. It’s time for organized team activities across the National Football League – the first real chance teams get to take an extended look at their club for the 2017 campaign. Not only are top rookies like Leonard Fournette of the Jacksonville Jaguars on the practice field, but now they’ve been joined by most of their veteran counterparts. That means plenty of news of note for fantasy football enthusiasts. Whether it’s how Alshon Jeffery has been getting along with Carson Wentz in the City of Brotherly Love or how Adrian Peterson is fitting in with his new teammates in the Big Easy, there have been a number of developments that could impact the fantasy value of players all over the league. We’ve even had some late player movement, with a couple of big-name receivers finding themselves both un- and re-employed in the span of the last couple of weeks. After a summer break of their own, the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy is back to break down the fantasy implications of the latest news and notes from OTAs.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2017 Dynasty Rookie Rankings May 10, 2017

Show notes

Now that the 2017 NFL Draft is in the books, drafts of a different sort are cropping up all over the place. In these drafts, there won’t be a whole lot of working out – you’re more likely to see 40 ounces than 40 times. But the folks involved still take the festivities plenty seriously. It’s rookie draft season in dynasty fantasy football leagues. With that in mind, this week’s all about the first-year players at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, as Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke break down the top 50 rookies in 2017. At running back, Leonard Fournette of the Jacksonville Jaguars was considered the top dog headed into Philadelphia. Now that we know who landed where is that still the case? And if so – should Fournette be the first rookie drafted in 2017? If Fournette isn’t the 1.01, then perhaps it’s one of this year’s top receivers. But which of the three young wideouts who were selected in the top 10 of the draft are the top banana in fantasy. Is it Corey Davis in Tennessee? Mike Williams in La-La Land? What about speedster John Ross in Cincinnati? Running backs and wide receivers will no doubt dominate the first round, but what about the quarterbacks, tight ends and even the IDPs? Where do the players at those positions factor into this year’s rookie pecking order? For the answers to those questions and much more, join us Wednesday, May 10 at 7 PM Eastern as Gary and Todd break down all the names you’ll need to know ahead of this year’s rookie draft.

FANTASY FOOTBALL FEEDING FRENZY: 2017 NFL Draft Predictions Apr 26, 2017

Show notes

After months of waiting, tons of speculation and enough scuttlebutt to fill a missile silo, it’s finally go-time, folks. The 2017 NFL Draft is almost here. On Thursday night the focus of football fans everywhere will be on Philadelphia, as we find out the answers to a great many questions that have been asked almost since the moment Super Bowl LI concluded. Who will the Cleveland Browns make the No. 1 overall pick? Texas A&M edge-rusher Myles Garrett? North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky? A kicker? Hey – it is the Browns we’re talking about. In a draft where seemingly just about every team in the top 10 wants to trade down, will they find any takers? And if so, who will move up – ostensibly to grab a quarterback? Speaking of the quarterbacks, how many will go in Round 1, and where will they land? What about this year’s top running backs? The wide receivers? The tight ends? In other words, where will the top rookies of interest to fantasy owners wind up? Of course, there’s more to the NFL draft than just Round 1. There are second-round steals. Day 3 sleepers. And picks of all shapes and sizes in between. Regardless, the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang has you covered. Join Fantasy Sharks staff writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and special guest Dan Collins on Wednesday, April 26 at 7 PM ET as they offer up some predictions on how the 2017 NFL Draft will play out.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2017 NFL Draft Preview – Part 2 Apr 19, 2017

Show notes

It’s almost go time. In just one week, the 2017 NFL Draft will officially get underway in Philadelphia. Months of speculation, scuttlebutt and mock drafts galore will finally, blissfully give way to the real deal. Last week the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy looked at the top quarterbacks and running backs in the Class of 2017. That leaves two offensive position groups of interest to fantasy football owners – the wide receivers and tight ends. As has been the case for the past few years, it’s a deep and talented group of wide receivers in 2017. But while there are plenty of players to like at the position this year, there isn’t a clear-cut top dog. If big bodies with sure hands are your thing, then Clemson’s Mike Williams or Western Michigan’s Corey Davis is likely your guy. However, if speed’s your thing, then Washington’s John Ross (who broke Chris Johnson’s combine record by peeling off a blistering 4.22-second 40-yard dash in Indy) is this year’s target numero uno. At tight end, there are a couple of leading to contenders to step into Hunter Henry’s shoes as the top rookie in 2017. Both O.J. Howard of Alabama and Miami’s David Njoku have the size and athleticism NFL teams crave – but each also has question marks around them. Whether it’s mid-round sleepers, Day 3 diamonds in the rough or everything in between, join Fantasy Sharks staff writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke on Wednesday, April 19 at 7 PM Eastern as they break down everything you need to know about the fantasy implications of the crop of pass-catchers entering the NFL in 2017.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2017 NFL Draft Preview Part 1 Apr 12, 2017

Show notes

The big day is almost here! OK – days. We’re just about two weeks out from the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia, when this year’s rookie class will find out where their NFL careers will begin. It’s three days that will send shockwaves across the National Football League – and the fantasy football landscape. And as such, it’s time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy to begin previewing this year’s draft – starting with the quarterbacks and tailbacks. Unlike 2015 and 2016, it looks like the No. 1 overall pick this year will not be a sgnal-caller. That raises the question not only of who this year’s top passer is, but when he will be taken. Will Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky or Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer go first at the position? Where will the other two wind up? What about Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech? Or Brad Kaaya of Miami? And is there a mid-round quarterback who could become this year’s Dak Prescott? Given the success Ezekiel Elliott enjoyed in 2016, fantasy owners are scrutinizing this year’s running back class even more than usual. The general consensus is that Leonard Fournette of LSU will be the first off the board, but is it possible that Florida State’s Dalvin Cook could sneak past him? And more importantly which back is the better fantasy prospect? Who are the sleepers? The backs for NFL teams to avoid? Will I ever stop ending sentences with question marks? Join Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke on Wednesday, April 12 at 7 PM Eastern for those answers to those questions and more as the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy kicks off their preview of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Free Agency Review Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

The 2017 edition of free agency in the NFL is nearing one month old. Over a billion dollars in contracts have been awarded, and any number of players of interest to fantasy football owners have found new homes. At running back, Adrian Peterson remains unsigned, as does Jamaal Charles. The biggest name to switch teams is one of the NFL’s biggest backs, with Eddie Lacy bolting the Green Bay Packers to try to goose the ground game in Seattle. Latavius Murray has found work as well – as Peterson’s replacement with the Minnesota Vikings. At wide receiver there’s been a ton of movement. The Washington Redskins became the first team in NFL history to lose a pair of 1,000-yard wideouts from the season before when DeSean Jackson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Pierre Garcon (San Francisco 49ers) both left town. Terrelle Pryor signed a deal in D.C to pick up some of that slack. Kenny Britt replaced Pryor as the No. 1 receiver in the fifth circle of football hell known as Cleveland. The “crown jewel” of free agency at the position (Alshon Jeffery) settled for a one-year deal, while a surprise trade sent shockwaves across the fantasy landscape. We’re still waiting for the big shoes to drop at quarterback (“Where will Romo Land” has become the new “Who Shot J.R.?” in Texas), but dominos have fallen at tight end, including the arrival of Martellus Bennett in Titletown and his replacement joining the Super Bowl champs. In another trade. Join Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke on Thursday, March 30 at 7 PM ET as they try to make heads of it all with fantasy football’s biggest winners and losers in free agency.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2017 Combine Preview Mar 03, 2017

Show notes

The “Underwear Olympics” is here! This week, 330 of college football’s best and brightest will descend on Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine. There will be tests and interviews and drills galore – drills that will help determine the pecking order for the 2017 NFL draft. And with it the pecking order for this year’s rookie crop in fantasy football drafts this summer. At quarterback, there’s a three-way race to be the first signal-caller off the board this year. But do North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky, Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer or Clemson’s Deshaun Watson have what it takes to be the rare quarterback who makes a fantasy dent in Year 1? The running backs are always the focus of lots of fantasy attention, and this year is no different. Can LSU’s Leonard Fournette, or Florida State’s Dalvin Cook come close to the immense success Ezekiel Elliott enjoyed last season? At wide receiver, it’s another deep class, but one with no clear-cut No. 1. Is Clemson’s Mike Williams the top dog, or is Western Michigan’s Corey Davis or John Ross of Washington “the guy” in 2017? And that’s without even mentioning the tight ends, let alone the defensive side of the ball. Whether it’s high-end stars, sleepers or busts in the making, join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang on Thursday, March 2 at 7 PM Eastern as they break down the next group of NFL (and fantasy) stars in the making.
