Episodes

Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, and Jayden Reed 11.07.2026

The fantasy market is ranking Matthew Golden behind Christian Watson and Jayden Reed. Here’s why Golden is the best bargain in that group.

Terry McLaurin 10.07.2026

Based on WR data going back to 2012, Terry McLaurin is a high-probability fantasy bust. Let’s break it down . . .

Tank Bigsby and Saquon Barkley 09.07.2026

Why Saquon Barkley backup Tank Bigsby is one of the most important RB handcuffs to target in drafts.

Cardinals Rookie RB Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier 08.07.2026

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love joins a seemingly packed backfield that includes James Conner, Trey Benson, and offseason addition Tyler Allgeier, who might pose the most competition to Love. Should fantasy managers be concerned about Love’s Year 1 ceiling?

49ers Rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling 07.07.2026

49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling probably will start the preseason as his team’s #4 wideout. Here’s why he’s in a perfect spot to have a fantasy impact in Year 1.

Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech, and Malik Benson 06.07.2026

Why rookie breakout candidate Malik Benson is the most important Raiders WR to track this summer.

Bills Rookie WR Skyler Bell 05.07.2026

Bill’s rookie WR Skyler Bell was the 21st WR drafted this year. Here’s why I think Bell will have one of the best fantasy careers out of all of them.

Giants Rookie WR Malachi Fields 04.07.2026

Why rookie Malachi Fields is one of the most undervalued fantasy WRs, and it’s not even close.

Why You Should Fade TEs (Almost) Every Year 03.07.2026

If you like numbers, you’ll love these numbers: proof positive that fading tight ends is (on average) one of the best draft decisions a fantasy manager can make.

Why Drafting WR-WR Last Year Was Surprisingly Risky 02.07.2026

Yesterday‘s episode walked through the statistical oddity of the durability of last year’s preseason’s top 10 RBs. Today’s episode tackles an inverse oddity with WRs.

Why Drafting RB-RB This Year Is Uniquely Risky 01.07.2026

From 2012 to 2024, the top 10 preseason RBs missed nearly 20% of their games. Last season it was only 2%. Here’s what it means for 2026.

Bo Nix and Patrick Mahomes 30.06.2026

The fantasy market is ranking Bo Nix and Patrick Mahomes outside the top 12. Here’s what manager should do about it . . .

Take My Research, Please 29.06.2026

My research is now available on the Fantasy Football for Winners website. It’s accurate, compelling, and yours for the taking.

David Montgomery and Woody Marks 28.06.2026

One 2025 rushing stat makes David Montgomery a fantasy red flag entering this season.

Why QB Battles Help Fantasy Managers 27.06.2026

Last summer featured two notable team quarterback battles, making it tough for managers to know which ones to target. Here’s why you should embrace the battle.

TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson 26.06.2026

TreVeyon Henderson is ascending. Rhamondre Stevenson has, at best, peaked. So why are their ADPs so close together?

Justin Jefferson 25.06.2026

At least three things have to go “right” for Justin Jefferson to justify his generous ADP.

Christian McCaffrey: 450 Touches 24.06.2026

For the third summer since 2020, I’m trying to convince fantasy managers to fade Christian McCaffrey.

Jadarian Price 23.06.2026

Why Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price is overvalued in re-draft and especially in dynasty.

Kicking off Season 2 of the FF4W Podcast 22.06.2026

Whew. 167 episodes in 167 days. Thank you very much for listening, and thanks to those who’ve messaged me or posted a review. Have a great offseason. See you in July.

Revisiting Saquon Barkley’s Predictable Regression 04.01.2026

Nearly every summer, I scream at the top of my lungs, “Fade this one running back!“ And each time, the running back regresses. It’s not magic. It’s data analytics.

Caleb Williams: Elite in 2026? 03.01.2026

On a podcast episode this summer, I discussed why Caleb Williams might be this year‘s Jared Goff — a big fantasy bargain, thanks in part to an improved offense and coaching staff. Will he take another big step forward in 2026?

Overperforming and Underperforming Fantasy TEs 02.01.2026

If you drafted an elite TE, you earned elite production. If you drafted any other TE, the results were all over the map.

Overperforming and Underperforming Fantasy WRs 01.01.2026

I spent a lot of time this summer podcasting about screaming WR bargains and screaming WR busts. Let’s see how it panned out.
