Mike Wright of The Fantasy Footballers joined The Fantasy Fullback Dive podcast for the second time to discuss his journey to becoming one of the top fantasy football podcasters and most importantly, his 2020 fantasy football breakouts.

As with the other fantasy football wolves, The Wolf of Roto Street Journal starts off by asking Wright about his rise through the fantasy industry (0:03:20) and his fantasy process (0:07:56). Wright then talks about The Fantasy Footballers Ultimate Draft Kit (0:12:50) and what else the Fantasy Footballers are cooking on their website (0:19:50).

The two fantasy experts then dive into their 2020 fantasy football breakouts (0:24:30).

Wright kicks things off by talking about Kyler Murray's year-two explosion (0:25:30), while The Wolf has to sell Wright on his QB pick (0:29:52). Next, Wright lists two stud running backs who can be found at the end of the first round or early second-round who could both finish as top-five running backs (0:33:55). The Wolf counters with Austin Ekeler (0:39:39) and his favorite mid-round running back on the west coast.

Following running backs, Wright talks about two young wideouts who have legit WR1 upside and are bargains at their current price (0:44:16). The Wolf gives us a piece of Joe Brady's aerial attack and a second-year WR who both drip in tremendous upside (0:50:42). The two experts then wrap up their breakouts by listing a handful of late-round tight ends who have league-winning upside at an extremely cheap price tag.

Then, the guys dive into the fun stuff, using the FTN Fantasy Prop Shop tool. 

Crist and Wolf give their favorite 2020 NFL prop bets & odds for quarterbacks (0:21:22), highlighted by Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, Dak Prescott, Gardner Minshew, Drew Lock, and many more.

Following the running backs, the two quickly touch on some of their favorite prop bets & odds for the wide receiver position (0:40:22).

Crist and Wolf also hit on Calvin Ridley, Adam Thielen, and DeVante Parker as a couple of wideouts who should win you some cash.

Then, Crist and The Wolf give their longshot prop bets that possess some serious value and return (0:44:34). Here, they talk about 2020 NFL MVP odds, 2020 NFL Win Totals, and other NFL prop bets that might be flying under the radar.

We welcomed Howard Bender of Fantasy Alarm and Sirius XM to The Fantasy Fullback Dive podcast to discuss his pioneer fantasy career and his 2020 fantasy football sleepers.

The Wolf of Roto Street Journal then peppered Bender with some fantasy wolf questions about his fantasy process (0:12:30), his love for grinding film (0:18:25), and then the tools he uses to be an elite analyst (0:22:37).

After learning about the process, the guys jump into their fantasy football sleepers of 2020 (0:28:30). They start off with the QB spot where Bender and The Wolf discuss Daniel Jones' monster upside as a late-round pick (0:29:01). Then, the two discuss Ryan Tannehill's league-winning second half of 2019 and how he'll fare in 2020 in the Titans' balanced attack (0:31:30).

After QBs, The Wolf and Bender chop shop about the all-important RB position, where Bender is all-in on one of the Dolphins running backs (0:34:26) and then The Wolf dives into Antonio Gibson, a deep sleeper from the Redskins (0:38:17).

For WRs, they both touch on two electric playmakers (0:41:23) who are entering their third seasons and have yet to make a legitimate fantasy impact. It's truly a make-or-break season for both highlighted players.

They finish up with the tight end spot (0:47:26) where they both go over the insane fantasy depth at the position. Waiting on a tight end could pay dividends in fantasy 2020.

The Fantasy Fullback Dive podcast welcomed on one of the OGs of the fantasy football industry, Bob Harris of Football Diehards and SiriusXM Fantasy, to talk about his fantasy football players to avoid in 2020.

First, The Wolf of Roto Street Journal talks to Harris about his start in fantasy football, which dates back to 1986 (0:03:41), and how his process (0:07:52) and the industry has changed as a whole. From developing a data timeline, to the rise of analytics (0:12:41), Harris explains much the industry has evolved since he began his obsession with fantasy football.

Next, the guys jump into Harris' fantasy football players to avoid in 2020 based on FantasyPros' ADP (0:18:44). Harris tells The Wolf why he's avoiding the two pillars of the Cardinals Air Raid, Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins (0:20:10), and why he's targeting Daniel Jones (0:23:14) at his current ADP. Then, the two talk about two future Hall of Fame QBs (0:27:30) and whether or not you should be avoiding them at their current ADPs. 

Following QBs, Harris and The Wolf dive into the heavily scrutinized and popular RB position (0:34:05). There, they agree on avoiding Aaron Jones (0:34:26) at all costs, before getting into a debate on Austin Ekeler (0:37:23). Next, the two agree on the bum down in Jacksonville and then they touch on why they're staying away from the talented Devin Singletary (0:45:15). Harris and The Wolf finish the positional group by touching on the middle tier of running backs (0:52:02), such as Sony Michel and David Montgomery.

Next, the list shortens when talking about WRs to avoid (0:55:35). But, Harris begins with an intriguing early-round wideout down who plays for the Cowboys (0:55:39) and why you should be targeting other receivers or the running back spot at that price. Next, Harris tells us a later round receiver who he loves and is bound to explode with Lamar Jackson in his second year (01:00:08). Finally, the two wrap up the pass-catching segment by talking about two elite tight ends you may want to avoid at their current ADPs (01:02:39). 

To end the show, The Wolf takes Bob Harris through the No Huddle Offense (01:08:01) to get his 2020 fantasy football predictions and takes.

The Fantasy Fullback Dive podcast welcomed FantasyPro's most accurate expert from 2019, Justin Boone, to the show. In this episode, Boone talks about his rise through the fantasy expert rankings and how he finally took home FantasyPro's most accurate expert in 2019 after multiple top 10 finishes (0:05:30). 

Following that, Boone talks about his 2020 fantasy football rankings, ADP value plays, and sleepers to watch for this season. They discuss which QB Boone believes will exceed his current ADP (0:24:21), then The Wolf of Roto Street counters with another QB who he loves and also thinks he will exceed his current ADP (0:29:33). Hint: RSJ has been a big fan of both QBs since day one.

Next, Boone and Wolf discuss three running backs who they think will be bargains at their current ADPs (0:32:34). Of course, The Wolf's is Raheem Mostert (0:37:57), but Boone brought up two players who make a ton of sense and should be rostered at their very cheap price tags -- highlighted by a can't miss Penny Stock who's available for free in Philly (0:42:49).

Following running backs, The Wolf and Boone discuss their top WRs who will outperform their current ADPs (0:46:00). One is a speedster out in Kansas City, not named Tyreek Hill, and the other is another is the original lid lifter, DeSean Jackson (0:48:51).

Finally, Boone gives us his tight end who has double-digit touchdown upside (0:51:54), and then wraps up the podcast with his 2020 fantasy football predictions in the No Huddle Offense.
