Draft Sharks - Fantasy Football Podcast

​​Night 4 of the Draft Sharks Invitational found a group with a lot of high-stakes cred. That includes Dr. Abib Agbetoba, the back-to-back winner of the Footballguys Players Championship -- as well as Austin Martin, the 2019 champ of the FFPC Playoff Challenge. We've also got a mix of fantasy analysts who blur the line between "Pro" and "Joe." The varied group brought with it varied approaches to...

​We had  JJ Zachariason  on the podcast back in March as part of our series recapping what we got wrong as fantasy analysts in 2020. But JJ gets a whole lot of things right as well. So we invited him back to talk about how he's approaching each position in 2021 fantasy football drafts. Predicting middle-round breakouts ... 1:54 QB ... 6:49 RB/WR ... 18:50 TE ... 45:20 Get your own customized draft...

Night 3 of the Draft Sharks Invitational pitted 2020 champ Peter Overzet vs. 11 of the sharpest drafters anywhere -- including legendary high-stakes player Chad Schroeder. We saw QBs go early again ... then settle a bit. We saw a surprising RB run. Valuable TEs made it further into the draft than we would have guessed. And our pal Adam Krautwurst jumped in late to talk about how much he liked the...

​It's Night 2 of the 2021 Draft Sharks Invitational, and we're already seeing plenty of change vs. the 1st league's draft. This group chased QBs earlier, but then let the position slide. We have another drafter taking an RB early and then waiting on the position. We had the some spot as Night 1 wait longest on a QB. But could he hold out as long as Anthony Crescenzo? Here's the lineup of drafters:...

Peter Overzet took down the 1st ever Draft Sharks Invitational last year. We're back for the 2nd season, and we've grown by a league. The 72-team tournament that pits analysts and the worlds top fantasy football players against each other kicks off with this lineup of 12 drafters: 1. Pat Thorman 2. Bob Harris 3. Nelson Sousa 4. ​Noah Ruddell 5. ​​​​​Mike Randle 6. Ian Allan 7. Jack Miller 8. Sigmu...

Dr. Abib Agbetoba  ​won the Footballguys Players Championship on  MyFFPC.com  in 2019. Then he did it again in 2020. What's his secret? We'll hit on some of the champ's favorite players and least-favorite targets. We'll talk about how much he takes schedule into account. And we'll hit on why he doesn't mind drafting a 3rd QB. We'll also break down the  FFPC main-event draft  that he and I recently...

​We're on our penultimate division in this 8-part series, and that takes us to the NFC East. The Cowboys just might sport the best offense in the league, if Dak Prescott's shoulder is good. He's not the only injury question to address, though, and a loaded WR corps needs some sorting. The Giants ran about as poorly as they could have in their 1st season with Jason Garrett as OC. Has that make thei...

​Our guy Adam Krautwurst is taking a bunch of shots at the Footballguys Championship on  MyFFPC.com . On this episode of the Deep End, he and Mike Schopp build a team live. Will Adam's targets make it to him? How will he adjust when the snipers hit? And what will he and Mike think of the team in the end? Subscribe to the  Draft Sharks YouTube channel  for video of this and every episode. Check out...

The Ravens tumbled last year vs. their lofty 2019 performance, but the offense remained efficient even through injury and COVID issues. Will the unit really lean more on the pass after addressing that area quite a bit this offseason? The Steelers brought JuJu Smith-Schuster back after he flirted with Baltimore -- among other teams. But a 1st-round RB and a new OC could mean plenty of change on the...

Are Vikings skill players going too early after a highly efficient 2020? Aaron Rodgers is holding the Green Bay offense hostage. But is that a reason to be wary of his teammates in your fantasy football draft or to buy the ADP dips? Detroit seems almost an afterthought in fantasy drafts at this point, but there's plenty to discuss beyond D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson. And the Bears might hold t...

​ TJ Hernandez  runs the DFS content for 4for4, but he caught our eye recently with some quality info on Twitter that can help our season-long drafting. We're digging into the correlation between team offensive scoring and fantasy points by position. We're looking at how to appropriately read backfield splits, and how to leverage uncertainty. And we're applying it all to trying to maximize our dra...

Every team in the AFC South will have a new OC this season, after 2 of them left for head-coaching gigs elsewhere, and 2 teams have new HCs. Those stories get overshadowed by a pair of QB situations, though. Trevor Lawrence arrives as the top pick in the NFL Draft. But it's Deshaun Watson at the forefront. Will he play? If he does, will he play for the Texans? That might be the biggest question in...

​The Falcons have torn down last year's version of the offense and rebuilt from the top. The Panthers have replaced their QB -- for the 2nd straight season. The Saints will open a season without Drew Brees for the 1st time since Sean Payton arrived. And the Buccaneers haven't changed much of anything ... besides their trophy case. The NFC South presents plenty of questions about target distributio...

​ Will the AFC West feature a pair of top-5 NFL offenses for the coming season? We know the Chiefs will get the job done -- both on the field and for our fantasy football teams. But where else might we find big upside? Does the QB battle in Denver matter? What can we expect from a Chargers team under new management? And why might we believe in Justin Herbert without believing in his price? Here's...

​Is Cam Akers going too early? Is Kyler Murray bound for regression? Did Russell Wilson go over the cliff in the 2nd half last year? And how should we treat all those 49ers offensive pieces? We're kicking off our divisional preview series in the juicy NFC West, with a bevy of players and unsettled situations that will heavily impact the  2021 fantasy football rankings . Here's the rundown: Arizona...

​Best-ball drafts have been running for months. But now we're already getting into some of the big money drafting. Our guy Adam Krautwurst, for example, already has multiple Footballguys Championship drafts under his belt for this season.

And did the QBs just get even more attractive? We've got 14 fantasy football prospects to break down ...    DRAFT SHARKS - YOUR UN...

​ Matt, Adam and Mike get together with Kevin and some other fantasy football fiends to run an FFPC best-ball draft between Round 1 and Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Where will Kyle Pitts land now that he's officially a Falcon? Did Najee Harris rise? Travis Etienne fall? What to do with James Robinson? And did any of the picks NOT made in Round 1 affect player outlooks? Let's play 18 ... (rounds). ​ C...

​ Micah Parsons, Zaven Collins, Jamin Davis ... the 1st round of the NFL Draft delivered some intrigue at LB -- both for redraft and dynasty. Plus, we saw 6 edge defenders go in the 2nd half of the round. Who's set up for immediate production, and who might need a little development time?
