Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

The preseason rolls on, and so do ankles, Achilles tendons and ACL's. This week has been set aside to discuss the running back position. The guys who carry the load, perhaps the most important position to deal with early in the draft (whether you take one or not). Listen to this week's podcast below, but while you do, check out our Running Back rankings, as well as the rest of the positions.

We talked about some of the undervalued RB's, like Antone Smith, Danny Woodhead, Giovani Bernard and Chris Ivory. We also clue you in about who to avoid, overvalued guys like Rashad Jennings, Bishop Sankey, Isaiah Crowell and Carlos Hyde. Finally, we break down one of the most impressive rookie RB classes in recent years.

Week 3 of the preseason is in the books, and football is so close, I can almost taste it. We got to see most of the starters go deep into the game and got a great look at how a lot of teams will look once the season starts. This week we break down the Wide Receivers heading into the last draft weekend of the year. Listen to this week's podcast below, but while you do, check out our Wide Receiver rankings, as well as the rest of the positions.

We talked about our top ten, undervalued guys like Percy Harvin, Martavis Bryant, Jeremy Maclin, Vincent Jackson and Terrance Williams. Our overvalued list consisted of Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams and Jarvis Landry. Finally, we talked about lots of the young guys, rookies, second and third year receivers.

Well, it's finally here. I keep saying that but I feel like it's been such a long time since I've seen a real, honest-to-goodness NFL game and Week 1 is just around the corner now. With so many juicy match-ups this week, we have a blast on this podcast just going over all of the games scheduled to air and some of our takeaways from them. Highlighting Under the Radar guys in Week 1 should help some fantasy managers out there be aware of the talent on every NFL team just waiting to bust out. Now that we've identified some of these guys, we'll continue to bring them up on podcasts going forward and will surely recommend some of these guys as pickups in the coming weeks.

Remember that the best thing that you can do for yourself as a fantasy team manager is to pay attention to all of the news and stats that come out after each week. The difference between a winning and losing season can easily be one waiver wire pickup that you overlooked because you didn't have time.

With week 1 in the books, we get a little bit more of an idea how things will play out this fantasy season. We're not done with the bumps and bruises, however, not nearly! Week 2 brings with it quite a few challenges for teams unlucky enough to be hit with injuries to such players as Dez Bryant and Desean Jackson. The important thing at this stage of the season is not to panic, but rather to work the waiver wire and explore possible trades in order to have as much value on your team as possible over the next few weeks while those players are out. We discussed a few of those waiver wire pickups for week 2 and talked about guys that were overachievers or underachievers in Week 1 and whether or not those successes or disappointments would continue going forward.
