How to Pick From Each Spot in the Draft (08/28 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Want to be in our next mock draft and have a shot at being on air? Check out our St. Jude Draft-a-Thon Store here: https://tiltify.com/@fftfundraising/fantasy-football-today-draftathon-2024 Getting ready for your draft? We'll tell you how to build your team from each spot 1-12. First, we react to Kyren Williams the punt returner (2:10) and play "Hey, Real Quick" (7:10) on draft strategies. More likely to go RB/RB or WR/WR? Who are we nervous about at the 1/2 turn? What's our strategy in a 10-team league? We also compare two very different builds from the 11 and 12 spots (9:30) as one team went with only RBs and WRs while another team went with Patrick Mahomes and Sam LaPorta in Rounds 3 and 4 ... News and notes (20:15), how to draft with the first overall pick (24:15) and our reaction to the Cowboys signing Dalvin Cook (30:45). Then it's back to pick-by-pick for the second overall pick (31:40). Jamey went RB-heavy here, but did it work out? ... We look at Teams 3 and 4 (35:40) and how they built their teams with four WRs early. Team 5 (40:10) showed how to build a team with a RB/RB build while Team 6 (43:10) gambled with a TE in Round 4 and a QB in Round 6 but still came away with a good squad. Teams 7 and 8 (47:10) had very similar builds while Teams 9, 10 and 11 (52:10) were the first ones to take a TE. Is late Round 3 the right time to be drafting your TE? And finally, we have some advice if you have Pick 12 (1:03:00). Coming away with a QB and a TE somewhere from Rounds 3-6 seems like a prudent strategy. And we have our final takeaways (1:08:50) as we look back at what we've learned ...
