The Bleav Fantasy Football Show with Lindsay Rhodes

No Fabs today, as he travels for the LA Scott Fish Bowl draft this weekend.  But what a guest we have for you!  The leading receiver of the 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars… Cecil Shorts!  The former fantasy stud (WR22 in ’12) used to “hate” fantasy, but now he’s “in love.”  And, as the host of “Bleav in Texans”, he’s got answers to to the questions we all have about the most targeted fantasy offense of the year.  Which Texans WR should we draft?  What can we expect from Joe Mixon?  How bout Dalton Schultz?

He’s also got unique insight into Nick Chubb’s return from knee injury (stemming from a multi-ligament knee injury of his own.)

Plus… mid-to-late round rookie WR thoughts.  And a favorite Rd 2 target.

He’s back! FSWA Hall of Famer Bob Harris (@footballdiehard) graciously returns- despite Michael Fabiano’s harassment- to the Bleav Fantasy Football Show to tell us why he waited 10 rounds (!!!) to draft his first receiver in Scott Fish Bowl. What led to his RB-heavy draft strategy? Is it a strategy more people should employ?

Plus, Fabs (with the help of a smart person) tells us what he found when he merged last year’s NFL statistics with this year’s SFB scoring. What did it reveal about the players we’re drafting? And is there a QB we should be taking… a lot earlier?

Fabs and Lindsay react to a Superflex Mock Draft they did this week, for Sports Illustrated, with some of their friends from the fantasy industry.  Which builds popped the most?  What is it with the 12-hole and waiting (a long time) on running backs? Why did Lindsay and Fabs make the choices they made?  And which players did Fabs snipe from Lindsay?  (There were 2.)

Fabs and Lindsay are back, with reaction to a 12 team PPR mock draft they did for Sports Illustrated- full of heavy hitters from the industry.  Which builds worked best?  What didn’t work? What are the strategies they’re finding most successful this season?

The point of mock drafting is to try things out and learn from the experience… and there’s lots to be learned from this particular exercise.

The first 3 Scott Fish Bowl live drafts have taken place, and Lindsay and Fabs have 9 draft boards worth of information to take in. Hear their early thoughts on the way drafters seem to have adjusted to this year’s scoring system and where you can find value in your draft.

We talked to Scott Fish a few weeks ago about the “nerfed” QB scoring… is it actually pushing QBs down the board?  How early are TEs going with the premium scoring? What about kickers, with their inflated scoring?

Plus… is Caleb Williams a risky pick?

And does Superman 2 hold up?  (Fabs, from his own Fortress of Solitude, breaks down his recent rewatch of the 1980 film and a handful of plot holes that bothered him more as an adult than they did as a kid.)

Fabs and Lindsay are back and bold in this episode.  Whether it’s talking about old Love Boat episodes, Milton Berle “fun” facts you’d rather not know, or football milestones that may or may not be in reach, it’s all on the table in this one.

Find out which of Fabs’ “bold predictions” he believes in the least and the one Lindsay doesn’t think is realistic at all.

Today on the Fantasy Football Show, Fabs and Lindsay are grouping players by team and asking which one they’d rather have AT ADP.

Puka Nakua at the end of the 1st round or Cooper Kupp in the middle of the 4th?

Achane at 2.6? Or Mostert at 8.6?

This is a value driven conversation aimed at figuring out what our best build strategy might be.  And as always, it goes off the raise.

Gear up for an interjected “which records will never be broken” conversation.  And yet another “What should we make of Diggs” discussion.

Fabs has found some stats that drove fantasy production for a few of your favorite players last year, that he doesn’t think we’re likely to see duplicated this season.  That doesn’t mean they’re all regression candidates in fantasy, but that they might have to generate fantasy points a different way.  As Fabs likes to say, “Beware the magical season.”

We’ve got a few for each position group.

Fabs did a 10 round mock draft with different starting build strategies for each team.  In this episode, Lindsay and Fabs react to the draft, pointing out patterns that developed and where value picks emerged.

They talk about the ranges that they might want to target for various position groups and why they’d take certain players ahead of others within the same range.
