2020 Way Too Early Mock Draft

Drafting Wide Receivers 2019
Dorial Green Beckham... We mention him twice in this episode, so yeah that's how things are going. In a year where people still think that Chris Godwin is a "sleeper," and Josh Gordon will most likely be drafted in the first round in some leagues (yeah you know who you are), it's tough to get...

QBs: When to Draft and Who to Target in 2019
Quarterbacks and Kickers are the same in fantasy football. Yeah I said it! The only difference is that some people like to take quarterbacks starting in the 3rd and 4th rounds...WHAT?! What if I told you that there was no real advantage for taking that 3rd round QB as apposed to one that is...

Experts' "Safe" Picks- Exploit or Ignore?
"Hopper! What do we do? The Russians are toying with our Fantasy Football Rankings!" "Joyce will you just shut it for a second and let me think! If only there was some way to identify the players that are incorrectly ranked...then we can make our own decisions and find value in the draft...but...

Passing Back Analysis- What Data is There?
Tevin Coleman Gio Bernard Duke Johnson Anyone getting all hot and bothered by the mention of these names? Didn't think so. These backs historically have two things in common. One, they're so unsexy to draft. Two, and more importantly...they get the job done in PPR. If only someone would look at…

Early Season Analysis: Who's Hot? Who's Not?
Week 1 never ceases to dissapoint. Impressed that I spelled "ceases" currectly? Don't be, I only know how to spell it because of the Yugioh card "Ceasfire" (shout out chain burn). Anyway, when it comes to analyzing week 1 there are two types of fantasy owners: 1. Patient Paul- He's not gunna…

ESPN vs. Yahoo! Fantasy Football- Which is More Reliable?
I'm a teacher, so this is always a crazy time of year (hence the delay between episodes). With teaching on the mind, I can't help but think that the "I do, we do, you do" method comes into play regarding this episode. Essentially, this method is a proven way to accurately help children to retain...

TE Analysis...Fantasy's Most Loathed Position
"Welcome to Fantasy Football Ice Cream Shop, what can I get you today?" "Hi! I'll take 3 scoops of vanilla in a cup please." "...Sir we have over 30 flavors." "Don't care! I'll take vanilla." In a nutshell, that's what goes through my mind when I draft a TE. Tight Ends are the vanilla ice cream…
