Today on the Fantasy Football Show, Fabs and Lindsay are grouping players by team and asking which one they’d rather have AT ADP. Puka Nakua at the end of the 1st round or Cooper Kupp in the middle of the 4th? Achane at 2.6? Or Mostert at 8.6? This is a value driven conversation aimed at figuring out what our best build strategy might be. And as always, it goes off the raise. Gear up for an interjected “which records will never be broken” conversation. And yet another “What should we...

Fabs has found some stats that drove fantasy production for a few of your favorite players last year, that he doesn’t think we’re likely to see duplicated this season. That doesn’t mean they’re all regression candidates in fantasy, but that they might have to generate fantasy points a different way. As Fabs likes to say, “Beware the magical season.”

What happens if you lose your fantasy league and have to eat your way out of 24 hours at McDonalds? Our guest Joe DeLeone from “The Ruffino and Joe Show” and “The First Team” podcast is here to tell us about his experience paying off a fantasy bet over the weekend, with a full strategy breakdown about the best foods to eat to shave off time… and also the worst. Fabs and Lindsay also discuss tight end strategy. Why they probably won’t have many shares of LaPorta. When they would like to...

Fabs did a 10 round mock draft with different starting build strategies for each team. In this episode, Lindsay and Fabs react to the draft, pointing out patterns that developed and where value picks emerged. They talk about the ranges that they might want to target for various position groups and why they’d take certain players ahead of others within the same range.

SFB14 scoring is out and Scott Fish is here with the cliff’s notes. Tight ends are premium. But HOW premium? QBs are nerfed, but HOW nerfed? (Also what does nerfed mean? And what’s a sigma rizzler?) Rasheed Shahid is going to go higher in your drafts than you’d otherwise expect because special teams scoring is nuts. (Should you take a kicker earlier this year?) And that’s just the scoring. Lineup requirements will also alter draft strategies. (Just 1 RB spot?! 6 flexes?!) If you’re...

Our conversation, on the last episode, about the 3 Texans WRs, and the likelihood that they meet ADP expectations this year, led Fabs down a historical rabbit hole. And he emerged with some data. Historically… the number of teams that have supported 3 high(er) end WRs in one season is… small. But it’s happened. And Fabs and Lindsay disagree about whether the numbers make them feel better or worse about the Texans chances. Also in this episode, a closer look at Mike Evans. Is he flying...

We’re tackling some high end wide receivers on today’s episode, with numbers you need to know before you draft. Like: *Puka’s averages WITH Cooper Kupp. (What if Kupp’s healthy all year? Does that hurt Puka’s fantasy value?) *Justin Jefferson WITHOUT Kirk Cousins. (How worried should we be about JJ’s value with Darnold or McCarthy?) *Diggs in Houston (Is he declining? Can they support THREE fantasy assets at WR?) Speaking of which, have we EVER seen a team support 3 WRs the way we’re...

Lindsay and Fabs are back with some stats that might sway your opinions about the fantasy value of a handful of running backs. What should we make of the way James Cook, Zamir White & Aaron Jones finished the year last season? What should we make of the multi-back backfields in Seattle, Miami and Pittsburgh? Plus.. a very specific thing to look out for this summer in Denver. Also… in the non-fantasy related department, this episode brings you a horror movie recommendation; thoughts...

14 of Goff’s first 15 games are indoors! Stafford averaged 20.3 pts in his last 6 starts! There’s a lot of information out there about fantasy assets- both exciting and concerning. But what should you make of it all? Fabs has honed in on 8 QB stats that he thinks are helpful in determining what’s real and what’s not. Listen to his conversation with Lindsay as they try to figure out who’s worth drafting… and which QBs *really* have a chance to be better this season. Download and subscribe...

Lindsay is on vacation, so Fabs goes solo with a look at wide receiver and tight end sleepers for 2024! Fabs also discusses the teams that have to play three games in 13 days or less during the season, including the Cowboys and Chiefs (to name a few), and what it might mean for fantasy fans. Plus, he talks about his experience at a sleep center for his sleep apnea issues (wonderful), and why it's almost never OK to switch teams or root for multiple teams in the same sport! Download and...

Gotta love when an organic theme develops. And today’s theme is “rest.” Lindsay and Fabs discuss Warren Sharp’s findings about rest edges revealed by the schedule release, and what the rest disparities might mean for fantasy… starting with the #1 pick. Then Fabs reveals his 2024 “Sleepers” at QB and RB. (After establishing his very thorough- and narrow- definition of “sleeper”). It’s also revealed that Fabs is a poor “sleeper” and might be getting a CPAP machine, which will definitely be...

The schedule is out. What does it mean for your fantasy team? Lindsay and Fabs, and special guest JJ Zachariason (@lateroundqb) from the Late Round Podcast, tell you what schedule-related elements they look for to help them draft, and which elements might not be as relevant as you think. Plus… JJ is documenting his attempt to become a “Best Ball Bro” this summer and tells us what he’s learned about the format to this point. *How is best ball strategically different from redraft? *Which...

It’s the last round of our rookie dynasty mock draft! Picks 31-40. This is where Puka Nakua came off the board last year. Will there be a hidden gem in here, this year? Finally, we see a slow down on wide receivers as other position groups start to come off the board. Is this where we’ll see Michael Penix drafted?

Fabs and Lindsay continue their rookie dynasty mock draft with picks 21-30. (If you haven’t heard the episodes about rounds 1 & 2, you might want to listen to those before you listen to this one.) To start the episode, Fabs and Lindsay evaluate their drafts so far. Which picks already made, would they make differently, in retrospect. (They each have one do-over.) Then, they dive into their round 3 picks, continue to struggle with the new name pronunciations, go down a weird rabbit...

Fabs and Lindsay (Mrs. Matt?) continue their Rookie Dynasty Start Up Mock Draft with the second round of players. There’s a run on wide receivers in the first half of the round. And there are concerns about all of them. We also see 3 running backs come off the board in this range, and one of the Patriots receivers.

Got a rookie dynasty draft coming up? Trying to figure out who you should take when? This episode (and the next few) are for you.

First round is covered in this episode: -What to do BEFORE your draft -Why Lindsay would take Odunze over Nabers -Can you afford to take Brock Bowers in the top half of the first round? -Where do you need to pull the trigger if you want...

Lindsay and Michael are joined by college football data scientist Parker Fleming (@statsowar) to analyze the fantasy value of this year’s rookie class. Parker tells us which players he’s higher (and lower) on than consensus. Is AD Mitchell’s Yards Per Route Run (YPRR) cause for concern? Can we trust Keon Coleman to lead Buffalo’s receiver room? Should we be in or out on Brock Bowers at his ADP? Plus… a sleeper receiver. Parker also helps us wrap our brains around this year’s new “upside...

In what can only be described as a podcast version of a Progressive commercial, Fabs gets a lesson in technology, popular (and unpopular) phrases, and how not to secure a meeting with HR, while he schools us fantasy football prioritization. Lindsay Rhodes and Michael Fabiano discuss which veteran players most benefited from the draft in fantasy, and which ones saw their value take a hit. Plus… Fabs reveals his post-draft fantasy Redraft rankings. And Lindsay takes issue with a...

Now that the NFL Draft is over, and we know where everyone went, it’s time to figure out what it means for your fantasy drafts. Michael Fabiano and Lindsay Rhodes discuss which rookies they’re even MORE excited about post-draft… and which ones might fall down the board a little bit because of their landing spot. Plus: Marvin Harrison or Caleb Williams in rookie dynasty? WTF do we do with Penix in that format? Rome Odunze, Malik Nabers or… Ladd McConkey in redraft? Download and subscribe to...

They're joined by WWE Superstar Seth Rollins, Actor James Roday Rodriguez (Psych & A Million Little Things), and Former TE Gary Barnidge who all pitched in to fill out the picks for the 32 slots.
