Fantasy Fullback Dive | Roto Street Journal Fantasy Football Podcast

The Wolf welcomes on Pete Davidson (@Rotobahn), founder of Rotobahn.com and host of WEEI Boston Sports Radio’s Fantasy Football show. After hosting many great “advanced analytical” minds, Davidson brings an entirely different, “film-based” approach. Due to previous work as a professional scout, Pete is a master at evaluating players’ abilities and how they fit into different offensive schemes and with their teammates. Though this may be one of our longest pods ever, it’s completely jam-packed with equal amounts of player reports and different fantasy strategies that can’t be missed, including:

• How to blend both film and analytics to create the ideal player evaluations
• Just how athletic is Evan Engram, and why is he set to finally hit his ceiling
• Is the Curtis Samuel hype train warranted? Why could he have a Tyreek Hill type of breakout?
• Even before Lamar Miller was gone… what makes Duke Johnson such a fantastic fit with the Texans, and how could Deshaun Watson grow as a passer?
• Why Nick Chubb is 6th overall on Pete’s board, and why he feels Kareem Hunt won’t ruin this prime set-up
• Should Miles Sanders or David Montgomery be taken first, and who’s ceiling is ultimately higher?
• What does Pete see in Royce Freeman that makes him nearly 50 spots higher than his ADP?
• How to approach the QB position, and why Matt Ryan may be lower on Pete’s ranks even if he’s set up for a great season

Plus, as always, we run Pete through the “No Huddle” offense and find out who he’d take at No.1 overall, his feelings on Todd Gurley, the biggest bargains and busts in fantasy for 2019, and this year’s late round pick that could win leagues.

This was one of my favorite recordings ever, and I hope you guys enjoy Pete’s in-depth takes as much as me.

The Wolf goes through all the Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers, and new Penny Stock Sleepers who emerged from Preseason Week 3, also known as "The Dress Rehearsal." Considering Andrew Luck retired and Lamar Miller tore his ACL all in one night, this is as important as they come.

Ian Hartitz, newly of Rotoworld and formerly of Fantasy Labs, is our third Fantasy Wolf of 2019.

Find out how he entered the fantasy arena and rose through the ranks, and how he gains his edge. Then, the boys share their love for a trio of explosive and underpriced WRs in Will Fuller, Tyler Lockett, and Curtis Samuel, and why all three could be season-winners at  their respective prices. Then, we get a little debate going over Jared Cook (Wolf Higher), Allen Robinson (Ian Higher), and David Montgomery (Wolf Higher), before running Hartitz through the “No-Huddle.” Find out who he’d take first overall, who he considers the best breakouts and busts at each position, the next elite TE, and possibly the two funniest last place punishments The Wolf has ever heard.

If you know anything about the Roto Street Journal, no position is more important for fantasy football than running backs. But a solid and deep wide receiver core is key to taking home a championship.

But WRs are also the deepest position this season. Which is why it's not only important to know the Alpha WR1s, but it's also crucial to know the Penny Stocks and late-round dart throws who could win you your league.

Tune in now and get primed up on the most important position to winning that title.

*Be sure to check out Episode 98 to listen to our RSJ Staff WR Roundtable

No position is deeper for fantasy football than the wide receiver position. An alpha WR1 and a bevy of target hogs will help ascend your workhorse-laden team into a championship contender.

The RSJ boys came together to address some of the most “Burning Questions” at the position. Who's your No. 1 wideout? Who belongs at the top of the most difficult tiers to sort? And what late round sleepers could win titles? 

Tune in and dominate the rest of your leaguemates at this deep position.

Eliot Crist (@EliotCrist) of The QuantEdge joins The Wolf for another can’t-miss fantasy football advice interview. Crist and the TQE are constantly unveiling new stats to help fantasy gamers gain an edge, and he shares some of the most important stats and fantasy football strategies he uses to gain an edge. 

Then, we discuss our love for Chris Carson and Julian Edelman, and why we’d both take them a round or two higher than their current prices. Plus, we share why we’re both fading Kenny Golladay in 2019. 

Then, Eliot and The Wolf engage in some debates over Damien Williams (Crist is higher), Allen Robinson (Crist is higher), and Todd Gurley (Wolf is higher). 

We then run Eliot through the “Fantasy Football No Huddle,” where he gives you his rapid-fire takes on crucial questions such as:

- Who Eliot would take at No.1 overall? 

- Who are his biggest bargains and busts for 2019? 

- How he’s approaching the holdout RBs?

- What three players could be this year’s late-round exploder?

PFF Senior Writer Scott Barrett, aka the “proprietor of the dank stats,” joins the Fantasy Fullback Dive for a fantastic Fantasy Wolves Advice session.

And so much more. This is a can’t miss interview for anyone craving a statistical fantasy football edge in 2019! 

No position is more important for fantasy football than running backs -- a stable of three down workhorses is often the key to the championship.

But RBs are also the most volatile and tough to project position. That’s why we open our Position Previews with the horses. First, The Wolf does a solo “Rankings Rundown” of his Top-50 RBs (live every Weds @ 6:30EST on Facebook). Find out how he tiers and ranks his RBs, and where he would approach each in his in-depth breakdown. 

Then, the RSJ boys come together to address some of the most “Burning Questions” at the positon. Who should go 1 overall? To Gurley or Not To Gurley? How should you approach the holdout megastars? Who belongs at the top of the most difficult tiers to sort? And what late round sleepers could win titles? 

Tune in now and get primed up on the most important position to winning that title.
