Mike and Mike catch up and then discuss Week 1 of the Big Ditkas FF League.  Who do we feel really won the draft? How were the close games in Week 1?  We also go a bit deeper into Josh Allen, Cam Newton, Malcolm Brown and Calvin Ridley to discuss if they are the real deal or if it's just fantasy!  All this and more (do you even want more?) on this weeks show!

In this very special episode I took two interviews I had with Fred and took out most of the Fantasy Football stuff to get just to the interview. 

The first is just me and Fred doing an interview and the second was with Will who was in town. 

If you already listened to the "Interview with Fred Episode" feel free to skip to minute 21 for the second episode.

Cheers everyone :)

In this episode, Mike invites a good friend and long-time fantasy football player Mark to discuss the fantasy football season thus far and then we do an absolutely insane Cowboys trivia. You tell me if it was tougher than the Bears' trivia, but I think it was! 

4, 7, 23! These are some of the very exciting numbers you might hear Mike speak about in this week's episode of the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football Podcast.  Which running back has the best yards per rush average, who is tied with Pat Mahomes for most Yards per throw? Mike will tell you all about it in this thanksgiving special episode. *Please note: Mike will not mention thanksgiving nor remember that thanksgiving is coming up...Oops!  I need guests, so let me know if you want to be on, otherwise it's quite boring! bigditkasff @ gmail.com

This week, Mike welcomes another Mike to learn about his love of the Chicago Bears. We talk about how they are doing this year and then do some Chicago Bears trivia.  Feel free to play along! I am thoroughly impressed with just how knowledgeable Mike is about the Bears! Thanks Victoria!!

Mike (Clemson Hamburders) joins Mike to talk about how Mike's (host) team is 0-2. We talk the week, we talk the waiver, we talk about how we really don't know what we're talking about but we're talking about it anyway while Mike is walking home. This is the episode we're submitting for the Grammy people!!!!

[Note: This episode was recorded on Tuesday night Sept 17 so maybe some things have changed by the time this airs]

This week, Sylvain joins Mike and talks about his Croatia trip, how the auto-draft worked for him and then we bracket the teams and Sylvain picks the winner of the league :)

This week, Carly joins Mike to go through an 8 team standard mock draft! We talk about who are the best looking players in the NFL as well :) it's a super fun episode that went WAY longer than we both expected!

In this episode, Mike shows you how to set your pre-draft rankings in Yahoo Fantasy Football's system. Mike talks you through where to go to pre-draft rank, how to set the list appropriately and how to move players in and out of your rankings. 

Mike then reviews 3 elements of a pre-draft ranking strategy to help you based on your strategy whether it is late round QB, 0RB, or whatever you want it to be!

A reminder: Sept 4th at 7:30pm ET is our draft date!
