“As Ben and Shawn draft and discuss on the FFPC format a lot, I hear them constantly mention that 1.5 TE premium makes late round TEs flexible (Friermuth , Njoku…) when you are in a pinch and need a flex.
I encourage you to bring on Scott Connor who has studied this format (and others) to...”Read full review »

“Have you ever been in this situation? You think you know something well. Might even be thinking, hey I’m pretty good at this. And then you have a conversation with someone that makes you realize how little you really know and you are still a beginner?
That’s what it was like the first time I...”Read full review »

“I like to think that everyone remembers the “evergreen in nature” (as FD said) original ZeroRB article from Shawn Siegele, but I still find myself guiding new people to Rotoviz and Shawn’s work. This is no slight on Ben - who himself is a real leader, and a great host with Shawn. Ben is an...”Read full review »

“When you hear the intro music to this podcast, you might be wondering: “oh no, did I leave an Incognito tab open accidentally?”
No - the music might SOUND like an introduction to an adult film and the title DOES have “bananas” in the name, but this podcast is appropriate for all ages and all...”Read full review »

“Think of the podcast as a Venn diagram - Shawn and Ben are two mostly overlapping circles of knowledge and process forming the overinflated-football shaped center of the show, but the key is to steal and consume the unique fantasy “banana” that each one brings to the table. If you’re looking for...”Read full review »
