Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Week 4 Preview Sep 29, 2016

Show notes

We've hit the last week of September, and by the time Week 4 has concluded the 2016 fantasy season will be a quarter of the way home. It would be great if that meant we had the fantasy landscape figured out. Far from it. There have been surprises galore at every position. Through three games, Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian has more fantasy points than Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks, Carson Palmer of the Arizona Cardinals and Blake Bortles of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Oh yeah. Totally saw that coming. At running back, injuries continue to ravage the position, with Shane Vereen of the New York Giants joining a growing list of tailbacks out for the season. LeGarrette Blount of the New England Patriots ranks inside the top five. Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams ranks outside the top 20. Yep. Absolutely knew that would happen. The No. 1 fantasy wideout through three games isn't Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons or Odell Beckham of the Giants -- it's Marvin Jones of the Detroit Lions. In fact, of the three superstars who were the first three picks in many fantasy drafts, only Brown ranks inside the top 20. Called it. The top-scoring fantasy tight end three games in (Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers) isn't a huge stunner. But two more members of the top five (Kyle Rudolph of the Minnesota Vikings and Dennis Pitta of the Baltimore Ravens) weren't even drafted in most leagues. Meanwhile, the next fantasy points Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots scores will be the first this season. Madness reigns in 2016. And on Thursday, September 29th at 7 PM ET, Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin will do their best to get you ready for the next week at the asylum. Come on in -- the water's FINE. Call-In Number: (347)826-9620

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Week 3 Preview Sep 22, 2016

Show notes

"And lo, the carnage did spread far and wide across the land. And the runners did fall in droves. And the owners did weepeth." -- The Book of Week 2. The fantasy football landscape for 2016 was altered in a big way in Week 2, as the running back position was absolutely decimated by injuries. Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings (knee) and Ameer Abdullah of the Detroit Lions (foot) suffered major injuries that effectively ended their 2016 campaign from a fantasy perspective. Danny Woodhead's season is definitely over, compliments of a torn ACL. That's far from the extent of the damage, however. Tampa Bay's Doug Martin, Miami's Arian Foster and Carolina's Jonathan Stewart are dinged up as well, suffering soft-tissue injuries that could sideline them for weeks. But wait, there's more! Injuries at quarterback in Chicago, Cleveland and New England could have serious ramifications for all the offensive talent on those teams, from Bears wideout Alshon Jeffery to Patriots receiver Julian Edelman -- who might be playing quarterback Thursday night against the Houston Texans. This is the point where it feels important to mention that it's Week 3. The show must go on, however, and Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin have gathered again to help fantasy owners sift through the wrecage and prepare for another week of fantasy mayhem. Join them on Thursday, September 22 at 7 PM Easterm as the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy previews Week 3. Even if they're afraid to predict what will happen next. Come on in -- the water's FINE.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Week 2 Preview Sep 15, 2016

Show notes

We're rolling now. Week 1 of the 2016 NFL season is in the books -- and with it another season of fantasy football has begun. There were some happenings across the NFL that we expected. We thought that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown would have big games, and they didn't disappoint. Some players, however, did. First round running backs Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams and Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings both struggled. New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski didn't even travel with the team to Arizona. And San Diego Chargers wideout Keenan Allen was on the wrong end of the first big regular season injury of 2016 -- tearing his ACL in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. With that in mind, Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin have gathered to both take a look back at Week 1 and (mainly) look forward to Week 2. Whether it's injury news, start/sit recommendations or the Week 2 edition of Studs and Duds, the gang has everything you need to notch a win in your fantasy league this week.

Show notes

It's August, and Training camps across the NFL are getting underway. Sunday night, the Hall of Fame Game will kick off the 2016 preseason. And here at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, we're continuing our position-by-position look at the 2016 season. This week, it's the tight ends -- otherwise known as the Kingdom of Gronkia. There's zero doubt that Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots of the New England Patriots is the No. 1 fantasy option at the position. But is Gronkowski so head-and-shoulders better than the likes of Jordan Reed of the Washington Redskins and Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers that he's worth the first round pick required to obtain his services in many leagues? That's far from the only question Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin will be answering about the tight ends this week. Are there any mid-round values smart fantasy owners should look to target in 2016? What about busts in the waiting who need to be avoided. And is there anything to see in what appears to be another wholly uninspiring rookie class at the position. The guys will also talk team defenses in advance of next week's IDP special. Are there any team defenses worth reaching for? Which ones should you steer clear of? And who are the leading early-season candidates for streamers who like to play the matchups.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2016 WR Preview Jul 21, 2016

Show notes

The times have changed in fantasy football. For many years, the first round was all about the RB position. That, however, is not the case in 2016. In fact, the top five in most leagues has been all about superstar wide receivers. There's Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the consensus pick as this year's No. 1 overall selection. Odell Beckham of the New York Giants, who's done nothing in his short career BUT pile up fantasy points. And Jones of the Atlanta Falcons, who spent much of last year flirting with re-writing the single-season record books at the position. As the gang at The Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy continues their position-by-position breakdown of the 2016 fantasy campaign, this week is all about the new kings of the mountain. And the first order of business is simple -- if you have the No. 1 pick, who's the guy to take? That may be the first question the guys answer this week, but it'll be far from the last. Who are the value plays at wide receiver for the "old school" types who hit RB early? Conversely, which wide receivers are dangerously overvalued and set to let fantasy owners down? Can this year's rookie class come close to duplicating the Year 1 impact made by rookie receivers like Beckham and Amari Cooper the past couple of years? The Sleepers. The busts. The breakout stars and players set to fall flat. Fantasy Sharks staff writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin have that information and more, with an hour-long breakdown of the wideout spot. Join the fellas Thursday, July 21 at 7 PM ET as they give you all the info you need to cull a cadre of pass-catchers who will make you proud this fall. Come on in -- the water's FINE!

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2016 RB Preview Jul 14, 2016

Show notes

For years and years, running backs were the unquestioned kings of fantasy football. The first round of fantasy drafts was dominated by the position, As went the backfield, so went your fantasy squad. Now, however, the times have changed. The pass-wacky ways of today's NFL, the emergence of committee backfields and an alarming number of first-round busts at the position in recent years have caused running backs to be de-valued a bit. So much so, in fact, that in 2016 the top five in most fantasy drafts belongs to the wideouts. This doesn't mean that running backs aren't still important to fantasy success though -- so this week 's Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy is all about the backfield. Who is fantasy's top RB in 2016? Is it Le'Veon Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers? Second-year sensation Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams? Warhorse Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings? Or could it possibly be Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys, the consensus top rookie at the position in 2016? With so many fantasy drafters eschewing running backs early, finding values later on becomes all the more important. Are players like Miami's Jay Ajayi and Philly's Ryan Mathews the mid-round gems many are making them out to be, or fool's gold waiting to suck in unwary fantasy owners? Who are the late sleepers who could propel fantasy owners to the playoffs and onto a championship? What about the potential busts to avoid? And what of this year's rookie crop? There's much to discuss -- and Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin and special guest Dish Adams will be breaking it all down. Want to dominate on draft day? Tune in to the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy on Thursday, July 14 at 7 PM ET to get all the info you need on the RB position. Come on in -- the water's FINE. Call-In Number: (347)826-9620
