Ditka, Sausage, & Fantasy Sports

I'd like to think the title says it all. If not, the football side of Ditka, Sausage, and Fantasy Sports will be moving to the Razzball Football Podcast feed. Go subscribe there to get more B_Don and Donkey Teeth in your life. First show under the new feed is an interview of the co-founder, Rudy Gamble!

Grey joins Donkey Teeth to discuss DT's top 20 starting pitchers for 2020. Find out how the guys are valuing Max Scherzer, Gerrit Cole, Jacob deGrom, Walker Buehler, Justin Verlander, Blake Snell, Trevor Bauer, Luis Castillo, Chris Sale, Shane Bieber and many others with an eye toward the future.

On this week's football show, Donkey Teeth and B_Don discuss their RazzBowl drafts off the top before diving into their rookie tight end profiles. The guys agree on the two exciting young Iowa tight ends as their top two in this class, but the agreements are short lived.

B_Don explains what he loves about both former San Diego State rookies, Josh Oliver and Kahale Warring aka future Gronk according to B_Don. And Donkey Teeth makes his case for the Vikings second round pick Irv Smith Jr. Other rookie tight ends discussed include Jace Sternberger, Drew Sample, Dawson Knox, Trevon Wesco, Foster Moreau, and Alize Mack.

Then Ditka dudes each share their favorite of the undrafted rookies: Indy WR Jonathan Duhart for B_Don and Tampa RB Bruce Anderson for DT. And for dessert, the sausage fest is topped off with a top 25 dynasty rookie list from each of the co-hosts. Eat up!

Only hours after the MLB trade deadline, Donkey Teeth and B_Don are joined by Razzball's new head prospect writer The Itch (starting Sept 1st). The gang breaks down the fantasy implications of the most impactful deadline deals including the Bauer, Greinke, Stroman, Castellanos, and Gallen trades. Guest Itch also gives his thoughts on the most relevant of the prospects involved in each deal.

Then B_Don and Donk grill Prospector Itch on the early edition of his late season top 100 prospects list. The youngsters discussed include Luis Robert, Jo Adell, Bo Bichette, Kristian Robinson, Marco Luciano, Gavin Lux, Josh VanMeter, CJ Abrams, George Valera and Tommy Edman. 


Finally, The Itch proclaims one of his favorite prospects Trent Grisham aka The Reckoning, "Should be in the majors right now". Just minutes after the show recording is complete, Trent Grisham is called up by the Brew Crew! Get your lotion out, The Itch is here to stay!

Donkey Teeth and B_Don are joined by a special guest on this week's podcast, Ryan McDowell of Dynasty League Football and Rotoworld.

While B_Don fights technical difficulties, DT and Ryan discuss the Scott Fish Bowl draft and some situations including the NE and SF running back situations and expectations for top tight ends this season. Once the whole crew is together, the guys look at B_Don's approach to super flex/OP drafting and then get into some rookie rankings with the dynasty guru.


During the show, we talk about some ranking differences between the 3 of us including Darrell Henderson, Hakeem Butler, and what to do with rookie TEs for this season and going forward. Get you fill of Ditka, Sausage, and Fantasy Sports right here. 

There's so much smoke when Ditka smokes stogies because Ditka's 'stache smokes its own cigar.  Ditka did attack Area 51. Lastly, Sweetness, Walter Payton would've turned 65 on 7/25/19. In honor of his greatness as the best RB of all time (don't @ me).

The Fantasy Master Lothario joins the Ditka Boys again on this week's baseball podcast. They discuss Grey's industry leagues for way too long before diving into some real baseball talk about 2nd half rankings. Grey discusses his process in compiling his preseason rankings compared to his 2nd half top 100 and then Donkey Teeth grills him on ranking of Vlad Jr (#71). 

After some discussion about mid-season fantasy baseball trading, the guys chat about Donkey Teeth's ranking of Trevor Bauer in his most recent Top 100 Starting Pitchers post. And finally Grey really begins to sweat when German Marquez's name is brought up. Find out what Grey, B_Don, and Donkey Teeth expect from Marquez moving forward, and don't miss out on the big announcement from the football side!

A lot has happened since B_Don and Donkey Teeth were last on the air talking Rookie Wide Receivers Part 1. Zeke Elliot was allegedly a victim of extortion, Melvin Gordon is threatening to hold out, and Richie Incognito was suspended for trying to cut his dead father's head off. Just another normal week in the NFL!

On this week's episode, the guys discuss all of the wide receivers drafted in rounds 3 thru 6 of the 2019 NFL Draft. They go in depth profiling Diontae Johnson, Jalen Hurd, Terry McLaurin, Miles Boykin, and Hakeem Butler. These in depth profiles are followed by more quick hitting profiles on Gary Jennings Jr, Riley Ridley of Da Bears, Hunter Renfrow, Darius Slayton, KeeSean Johnson, Travis Fulgham, Juwann Winfree, Marcus Green, Kelvin Harmon, and Scott Miller.

There's a ton of valuable information jam packed into this episode to help you dominate your dynasty rookie drafts. And if you make it to the back end of the show, there just might be a surprise announcement and opportunity waiting for you. Grab your sausage and get ready for some football!

Back from break, B_Don and Donkey grab their sausages and dig right in on some genius all-star break ideas. For profiles this week, the guys look at 2018 vs 2019 for two under-performing starting pitchers: Jack Flaherty & Zack Wheeler.


The Ditka dudes profiled Flaherty on a podcast last season if you're looking for a more in detailed description of his offerings, demeanor, and more. For this show, Donkey Teeth explains what he thinks went on with Flaherty in the first half and why the Cardinals' youngster is his favorite buy-low pitcher for the second half. Then, B_Don breaks down Wheeler's repertoire and looks into the numbers from his 2019 first half compared to his dominant second half last year. Should you be buying Zack Wheeler also? Find out now on the one and only Fantasy Sausage Podcast. 


The Sausage Bros also run through some quick pick up recommendations to round out the show. Taste that sausage.

B_Don and Donkey are back at it this week profiling two more young ball tossers. But first DT has a few words for B_Don regarding some of his pickup recommendations on the Razzball Podcast earlier this week.

Donkey then digs in on his profile of exciting Cubs prospect Adbert Alzolay, who features two impressive off speed pitches. The guys speculate that a longer-term opening may arise in the Chicago rotation for Alzolay; since recording Cole Hamels has hit the IL, so be sure Alzolay is owned in all leagues.


For his profile B_Don breaks down Marlins youngster Jordan Yamamoto, who has burst onto the scene with three very solid outings. The show is topped off with some rapid fire pickup suggestions: B_Don loves Ian Kinsler and Mike Fiers. Sausage, sausage, get your sausage here!
