The Draftaholics

The Draftaholics love Fantasy Football Draft Day more than every other day of the year, so they decided to make every day that day. Drafting a new team each week, The Draftaholics believe that the only way to truly evaluate the game, and the players themselves, is within the context of a real draft with real rosters. The rest, as they say, is just pretend.

Then it’s on to the NFL Week 7 matchups of the weekend that they're most excited to check-out, including Bengals/Chiefs, the highest over/under of the week according to Las Vegas odds, the "battle of philosophies" in Saints/Ravens, and a clash of 2017 NFC Elites in Panthers/Eagles. Next they reveal their Top-12 FLEX players and Top-3 QBs for the week by doing a Week 7 Three-Player DRAFT, and break it down with their patented deep dive, "Statistics, Heuristics, Logistics" (Or simply 'The "Istics" ), followed by the World-Famous Quickshots, where they discuss the players to utilize or avoid in order to win you your week. As always, they finish with 1 LINEUP TO RULE THEM ALL, guaranteed to help you dominate DFS in Week 7. Follow the Draftaholics, www.twitter.com/draftaholicspod www.instagram.com/draftaholicspod
