I have an idea for an HUGE video you could do. How about list a few platforms, ESPN, Fantasy Pros, Sleeper, Underdog…. And compare your own rankings with that platform and do a video on who is the best value on the different platforms. For most of us that use ESPN the rankings and ADPs are so ridiculously trash. It would be a huge help to tell us what players are the best value on that platform
I 2nd this
I 3rd this
4th here
That's an awesome idea!
Good idea. We’ll look into adding this!
As someone who consumes fantasy football content every day, and plays BB all summer before my home leagues start, this is a fantastic episode. Thanks.
Awesome discussion guys!
Appreciate you, Zee3po!
@@johna9728 Thanks!
Have to agree on D Bro's number one tip. All off-season last year I was drafting in the 8 spot and taking Ceedee Lamb every draft with a follow up of ARSB on the way back.and was pumped about that start. When my real draft came around Cooper Kupp fell to 8 which he hadn't once in any mock I did the entire summer. I ended up taking Kupp over Lamb + ARSB on the way back and 2 days later they announced he was going to be out with the hamstring issue. Meanwhile, the guy in my league who did 0 research all season and not a single mock draft took Lamb and crushed the entire league. Had I just stuck with my guys I would have started Lamb and ARSB.
I did the same thing man I took kupp at 8 and the guy at 9 took lamb I was able to make some trades and made it to the finals but ended up losing to the guy who had lamb lol
I actually love having same bye weeks. You get my absolute best every week except for that week
The Dbro is correct on the draft BPA is the best way to go. My final lineups never look like my drafts. I lost both QB's last season and won with Joe Flacco. I never would have thought that in August when we drafted.
I've always liked to handcuff my RBs idk....I like kyren/corum this year because Mcvay only uses 1 RB..if kyren gets hurt corum could eat...but you definitely got me thinking on this....I handcuffed Ken walker/charb. Last year... wasn't necessary... thanks guys
If there's one situation where I would at least consider handcuffing, it's Kyren/Corum. Totally understand why you'd lean that way there, Thomas.
That's the biggest question for me, keep Kyren or keep cook? I could target corum later in draft to try and steal that starter. Kyrens backup is kinda expensive tho
Won my fantasy league last year! Have some tough decisions to make this year. 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 Flex, 2 keepers no penalty. Have CMC, JT, Nico, Kupp, Kyren. Take your advice and grab a WR because of the 3 WR setup? Or take the value at RB and try to hammer WR in draft. Have the last pick as well.
Great content!
Thanks! I would keep CMC and JT and hammer WRs in the draft. You have (in my opinion) 2 of the top 4 RBs. BIG advantage at the position. As long as you spend those first few rounds pounding the WR position, you should have an excellent team (especially in a year where you can afford to be patient at QB and TE, as I mentioned on the show).
Another great show guys!! Some good tips for beginners (or "squares") and there is some possibility I fall in that category Fitz!! I love NFL DFS - strictly small stakes - and I win more than I lose, but I have never played season long ...I don't have time for waiver wire and full maintenance. Last season I dipped my toe into BB because it is "set it and forget it" which fits my schedule. Sorry for the long biography you are probably asleep by now. Anyway.... I broke a lot of your rules last year Fitz. I handcuffed my own running back. I took QB before Round 3 - love your quote on another show - "I'm not touching a QB before Round 3." Despite my lack of knowledge, I got lucky and advanced 2/4 lineups to Quarters, and 1/4 to Semis ....beginner's luck for sure and a small sample size. I am a small timer this year again, just a few lineups, probably will all crash and burn .... BUT I do LOVE the BB format .... and love this show. Thanks guys!
Love it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Shawn! Hey, man ... nothing wrong with sticking to DFS and dabbling in best-ball. One of my friends is an avid DFS player who plays in zero season-long leagues.
Loved D-Brown's tip of drafting the best player available. REALLY hard to discipline myself, as Worm said, especially in Superflex, but there are quarterbacks who start the year at the back of the pack, like a QB25-30, and then have a killer year or slide in to a starter's role after an injury and then take off. You sure can't control injuries, but following D-Brown's tip may pay big dividends down the road even in Superflex leagues if you have a little luck and timing on the waiver wire! Roll the bones, baby!!
This is foremost educational fantasy football orientation I've seen in a long time! Keep up the good work!
Thanks fam
Thanks!
What Dbro is trying to say is just get the fantasypros HOF package and dominate your draft. Been using it for 4 years now, my biggest money league where everyone is a shark, I have finished with 2 Ships a 3rd and 4th since using it. If you are playing for money or multiple money leagues it is worth every penny!
Well when you are right you are right.
lfg
Aye the guy Pat is the man 🔥
indeeed!
Appreciate you, Tyler!
Hats off to you guys! Fitz and DBro you both make some compelling arguments 👍🏽
Dbro's # 6 should be followed by everyone. Must follow tip!!!!
Thank You Ryan Derek and Pat! Great Trio! I have played fantasy football for a few years! I subscribe to the fantasy pro app year long! This episode was great I’m saving it! The tips are great! BTW my friend broke his leg in slow pitch softball! Many injuries when you are pushing 40 and run the bases thinking you’re Pete Rose lol BANZAI!!!
Thanks, Pistol!
@@patfitzmaurice1575 Thank you been listening a Long time have a great day
@@patfitzmaurice1575 thank you Pat have a great day
Great point on numbers and rankings
Problem with home leagues like casual work league is that 3-4 players will auto draft, eliminating any chance of Waddle going past the 3rd round. Like I want Achane but even in my home league he’s not falling past early 3rd round. So if I have the 6th slot, if I don’t grab Achane in the second then most likely he won’t fall to mid 3rd
Great Show guys! Dbro, helmet me bro!
🧃🧃🧃🧃
Thanks, Hatter!
You guys are the best. But it also like to win the 😊 helmet.
I feel that if you have a solid roster and a RB that might be susceptible to injury with a backup that could be a workhorse than I roster that guy now this is only for select players and handcuffs are usually available later in the draft unless you like another dart throw
Last year in my big $ league my team got killed by injuries! By last week of the season I only had 2 starters i drafted Olave and JJacobs. Sneaked into the last seed of playoffs in 3 way tie. Luckily was able to pick up Aiyuk, Nico Collins, TDell, Stroud(Browning in playoffs),Achane and EElliot. Got 💯 luck 🏆
I just don’t love holding rookies on my roster HOPING they will breakout in the second half of the year. I like to watch the first couple weeks and see who is getting touches/targets and waiver them.
I hear you. For MOST rookies that's the prudent strategy. For the top guys I'm much more willing to dive in headfirst.
Over/Under on Puka throwing a TD this year

Loving the early content to get my FF fix. Thanks, guys. One of my leagues has a new format this year 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 2 WRT flex, 1 TE. 1/2 PPR. Any advice on draft strategy would be greatly appreciated. I've been using the mock draft tool on the website. It's fantastic. Keep up the great work! Thanks!
Thanks, Knight. Well ... I think my "hammer WRs" advice applies with your league format. Also, I think a wait-on-QB strategy would be smart since your QB is one of NINE starters. The multiple flexes dilute the importance of QBs a bit, and it's a good year to be patient at that position anyway.
@patfitzmaurice1575 Thanks so much, Pat!

I partially disagree with taking the guy u want and not thinking of adp. Its easy to say u got laporta and landed. For every laporta there’s 10 quentin johnstons. Guy in my league took james cook round3 last year and he was mid. Sometimes value will dictate the things u paid for just for “your guy”
Thanks guys. Good tips.
Thanks, Dan!
I didn't learn a thing, but sure some of my opponents did...thanks alot😂😂
😮
🤣
I typically don’t handcuff either. But for this year one handcuff that I think makes sense is Arizona. Conner is a great RB but can never stay healthy. Benson has high potential and could contribute if something were to happen to Conner.
Might even be a tale of two seasons, where Conner is the starter for the first half and Benson takes over in the second half of the year.
Great episode guys. I still miss Tags!!😢
Thanks, friend. I do too. 😢
Could you guys make a video doing team previews a couple years ago you made divisional previews dissecting every team within a division and it was very helpful
Love the content!
Any specific tips for a small (6 team) redraft (no keepers) league?
PPR/6 pt/1 QB/2 RB/2 WR/1 flex/
1 TE/kicker/DST
The worst injuries I've ever had all come from slow pitch softball, just like Ryan. I'm a veteran and played HS and Jr College football. Beware the church softball league!!!
😬
Hey guys. In a 6 point passing TD league, do you think it’s better to wait more or less at qb? On the one hand, increasing variance seems to make the top more valuable. But on the other hand, top guys separate with their legs a lot so 6 point passing TDS might pull the statues closer to the top instead of
Great episode! As someone who plays in a 10 player, 3 WR league, I’m wondering how you’d suggest balancing the tips of stacking my WR position and simultaneously going for ELITE positions at QB and TE. I’ll be hunting for early WRs, TE in round 4ish, and then be patient with QB. Any thoughts?Thanks!
Hey D Bro, remember Skyy Moore ? 😂
D Bro, is there an under the radar defense with a favorable schedule the first 4-5 weeks that would be worth drafting? Last year, you gave us New Orleans.
37:37 Who tf drafts before Labor Day Weekend anyway?
In a PPR league, would you go WR/WR first two rounds or WR/RB for more of a balanced approach? I see a lot of value in WR but not a lot for RB after rounds 3&4
I've listened to the 3 starting wide receiver claptrap the past two years and gotten drilled. I'm heading back to the tried and true dominate at RB strategy. Especially when somebody like Christian Watson hangs me out to dry with chronic hammy issues and I manage to score somebody like Puka Nakua off of waivers.
I have been playing Fantasy football for 40 years..and the dominant RB strategy works....just cruise the waiver wire early for WRs..I picked up Puka last year and destroyed my league.
favorite early round RB??
@@AndrewErickson_ i’m drafting at number two this year (like I said, I got drilled) and I’ll be taking Bijan Robinson or Breece Hall. Coming back around I’ll probably be going for somebody like Isaiah Pacheco or Joe Mixon.

“Just draft the best player available” absolutely profound
Thank you
I Know what you just said about not getting handcuff players, but how do you feel about taking both Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford. I have done this a few times, because I got them both very late with there late ADP'S, knowing Ford will be the starter and who knows about Chubb. If it looks like he is gonna be out all year I can always throw him.
I disagree with Dbro… I pay attention to bye weeks. Know when the trade deadline is, Target players in the draft that have Bye Weeks after that or late in the year. Target trade acquisitions that have had their bye week on other teams. In a game where small advantages matter it has proven to be very beneficial.
I made a lot of trades so my last pick is in the 10th rd this year. Do you think nabbing backup top 12 QB & TE to stash on my bench is a smart plan? 1 QB PPR keeper league.
So would it be more ideal to go Heavy RB first or WR?
what if I draft Hill 3rd and BPA in the 3/4 turn is Waddle?
I think you'd be better off going with someone else. Just not good policy to start two WRs from the same team.
Like the player content, but auctions are the only way to go.
I play in a 16 team 2 keeper league. Does that change your position on cuffing?
A 16-teamer makes handcuffing *slightly* more defensible. It's definitely more defensible if it's deep draft with 18 or more rounds.
DBro!!!

@@fantasyprosyou said it not me
Surprised that you didn’t mention the obvious. If your drafting 2/3 or 10/11 in a 12 team, you play off the 2 in in front of you. Ex- your at the 2 spot in the 4th round and the 1 spot already has QB, you take RB/WR in 4 and take QB in 5th. Elementary I know but advice for newbie’s!
When everyone is doing the opposite, do the opposite of the opposite.
- Sun Tzu
Or maybe that was Paul Charchin...
Is the handcuffing tip only for redraft? I think it can be a good strategy for dynasty
Id still handcuff some rbs in redraft just make sure your bench isn’t littered with them. Having Zamir White last year saved my season!
I love it in dynasty especially cause its so easy to get the cuffs for cheap
@@leafgreengoblin was he your handcuff or somebody elses?
@@AndrewErickson_ Great, in a 14 team startup i was able to get pollard/spears at the back turn, they fell down so much it seems like a steal.
@@manuelnoriega7163 My handcuff. I didn’t draft him but I also didn’t wait til week 10 to scoop him up
Should Kyren Williams be handcuffed ?
Dynasty brain won me my redraft league last year. INVEST IN ROOKIES. Lad McConkey isnt going to be WR40
Disagree with drafting defense.. I drafted the dolphins knowing they would pop and they did
My concern with Nabers isn't so much him as it is his qb. When has Danny Dimes ever produced a high end fantasy wr? Slayton has the best stats from 2019: 740 yards/8 td's. How much better can Nabers do than that? Jones totally caps his upside.
Has Dimes ever had a WR close to Nabers talent? 🤔🤔
It's kind of a chicken/egg thing. Has Dimes limited his WRs, or have mediocre WRs limited Dimes? I'm pretty confident Nabers is the best WR Dimes has ever played with by a wide margin.

RORY was off all day! lol
That’s dumb advise, there’s always dominant defenses that put up points and like 5 teams all trying to pick up the same streaming defenses and unless you loosing and have the top of the waiver to waste on def it doesn’t work
The thing is, we *think* we know who the dominant defenses are, but the scoring for team defenses is pretty unpredictable year to year.
GREAT video - hope my league mates don't watch it
Thanks, amigo.
@@patfitzmaurice1575 Hey Pat! Agonizing over this one: 10 team PPR, 3WR, 2 Flex. Picking 7th (I have no 1st round pick, but 2 6th round picks). Keep one: Ceedee in the 2nd, Gibbs in the 3rd or Achane in the 13th. Any advice???
Why does worm look like the wish version of sean mcvay ?
HAHAHA
Everyone streams defenses now. Almost impossible to get who u want plus u lose ur waiver spot no thanks
Anyone drafting achane =losing
Ok so don't handcuff your RBs....but do take other owners handcuffs? This makes no sense. If anything protecting your own top RB picks where it makes sense only makes your team more resilient and stronger.
But you are missing out on upside
Nerds calling people squares is funny.
Proudly a nerd. Forever.
They said Kelce fell off a little? He fell off a lot. Just stop
Fantasy football says awe you gotta hut two that draft thing
I see what you did there
