Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: 2016 QB Preview Jul 07, 2016

Show notes

The calendar has turned to July, and then can mean only one thing -- fantasy football draft season is right around the corner! With that in mind, it's time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy to being looking at this year's player pool in earnest. And where better to begin than at quarterback, the NFL's most important position? Of course, the NFL's most important position and fantasy football's most important position are two entirely different things. And that's one of the things the gang will be discussing Thursday night -- draft-day startegy under center. Are Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts (the top three options on most boards) worth their early-round price tag? Or is waiting a bit longer for the likes of Carson Palmer of the Arizona Cardinals the wiser course of action? And what of Tom Brady -- the Golden Boy -- and his looming four-game suspension. Does it make him a fantasy pariah or a potential value pick in drafts? Speaking of value, are there quarterbacks currently being selected outside the top 12, such as Philip Rivers of the San Diego Chargers and Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions, who could emerge as weekly starters for fantasy owners in 2016? The sleepers. The busts. The reaches and steals. Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin have all the information you need to dominate your fantasy draft. Join the guys on Thursday, July 7 at 7:00 PM Eastern for an hour that's all about the quarterback position. Come on in -- the water's FINE! Call-In Number: (347) 826-9620

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: The Prodigal Sons Return Jun 23, 2016

Show notes

It's been a few weeks since the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gathered to do a show. Stuff happens, so they say. There were personal matters that needed attending to and all that. And besides -- it's not like early June is really an "impact" month where fantasy football is concerned. But those are coming -- soon. Mandatory OTAs have fired up across the NFL. News feeds are heating up. There's even been the requisite way-too-early soul-crushing injury that leaves dynasty fantasy owners screaming at the television. In other words, it's almost time. Fantasy Draft Season is almost here. As June moves into July more and more fantasy owners will begin preparing for 2016 in earnest. Fantasy magazines will hit newsstands. Cheatsheets will be compiled. Sleepers will be awakened to the point where they cease to sleepers. Busts will be busted on until they actually become sleepers. In a word, things are about to get crazy. And that means it's time to get back after it. Because if there's one thing the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang knows -- it's crazy. And so they have gathered. Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin -- a triple-threat tag team of fake football tyrannosaurs. Or the Three Stooges of fantasy football. Whatever. They've gathered to offer up some information on the upcoming Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy Listener League. To discuss the latest injury news and player updates across the NFL. To preview the meat of their season -- the strategy, sleeper and ratings shows that will occupy the rest of the summer.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: NFL Draft Review May 05, 2016

Show notes

The 2016 NFL draft is in the books. From the Los Angeles Rams and Jared Goff at No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans and Kalan Reed at No. 253, over 250 young men now know where their NFL careers will begin. Hundreds more have signed with teams in the days since as undrafted free agents. And now that we know where top rookies like quarterback Carson Wentz (Philadelphia Eagles, No. 2), running back Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys, No. 4) and wide receiver Corey Coleman (Cleveland Browns, No. 15) landed, it's time to start talking in detail about how this year's class affects the fantasy football landscape. Will any of the first-year quarterbacks make a fantasy dent in 2016? Besides Elliott, which tailbacks could be set for an immediate impact? And just how big a splash will "Zeke" make in Big D? In a crowded wide receiver class with no clear-cut No. 1 prospect, which young pass-catchers should fantasy owners target? Of course, the draft impacts much more than just the incoming players, as these rookies will also impact any number of veterans across the National Football League. Which players saw their fantasy fortunes improve, and who was left out in the cold? To answer those questions and many more, Fantasy Sharks Senior Staff Writer Gary Davenport welcomes a pair of special guests in this week. Fantasy Sharks staff writers Trey Daubert and MJ Brown (host of the Daily Bite here on Fantasy Sharks Radio) will join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy on Thursday, May 5, 2016 from 7-8 PM for an NFL Draft Breakdown Cinco de Mayo style.

Is Ezekiel Elliott a no-brainer No. 1 pick in rookie drafts. In a muddy crop at wideout, who's the top dog? Will Jared Goff or Carson Wentz make a fantasy dent under center in 2016? Is there a tight end worth knowing about this year? And what about defensive linemen like Joey Bosa and DeForest Buckner? Linebackers like Reggie Ragland and Myles Jack? Who are the rookie IDPs fantasy owners need to know about this summer? The guys will also look at the latest news around the league, from the trade that sent the second pick from Cleveland to Philly (and Gary into an apoplectic rage) to the stunning departure of Josh Norman from the Carolina Panthers.
