Draft Sharks - Fantasy Football Podcast

​Saquon Barkley has been a favorite around here throughout draft season, and he pops at the top of our  Week 1 DK dollars per point projections . Who joins Barkley as top options at RB for cash, and do the picks differ to GPP lineups? Affordable WRs look easy to find on DK in Week 1. And that's good, because we're looking to pay up at QB and elsewhere. DraftSharks.com Lineup Generator:  https://ww...

​Matt swept his FFPC Main Event league last year (best record and most points). Can he build a team capable of repeating that? Challenges start early with a surprise Round 1 WR pick leaving difficult decisions at 1.10 and 2.03. Then come questions such as when is too early for your 3rd RB in this fantasy football draft? Where should you target a QB when the whole position is sliding? When do you n...

We have a week's worth of NFL preseason games and plenty of reports out of training camp. Is it time to pump the brakes on Treylon Burks? Is Antonio Gibson's role in trouble? Is Josh Jacobs going to be fine after all? And what about the injuries to Drake London, Cam Akers, Miles Sanders and others? Some situations require adjustments, while some falling ADPs just might present opportunity. Mike, A...

The Buccaneers got QB Tom Brady back after a momentary retirement. Rob Gronkowski followed him out the door but has not followed back in (as of yet).

How close can he be to the normal Godwin, though? And is there room for Russell Gage  and  Julio Jo...
