Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Every year, the fantasy football draft is one of the most important and fun moments of the season for fantasy team managers. Going into a draft there are many things that you need to keep in mind if you have any chance of winning the championship. What strategy, if any, will you employ during the draft? Will you be drinking copious amount of craft beers? Are you knowledgeable enough about the players in the league to be able to target and draft later round picks that will perform well over the course of the season? We're here to help, just tune in to help yourself!

Feel that tingling sensation? It's just below your neck, next to your shoulder, you can barely reach it. It's the fantasy football itch! We've been without NFL games for over 3 months, and it's been almost 5 months since there's been any regular fantasy football leagues. It's time to talk fantasy football! This week we're joined by our resident Rookie Expert, Shawn Foss (@Shawn_Foss) and we discussed the brand new 2015 draft class.

Fantasy Football Podcast - May 13 - 2015 NFL Draft Class

Going by position, of course we started at the QB's, just like the NFL teams did. We broke down the possible fantasy impact from two top tier RB's drafted in the first half of the first round, much higher than any RB's have been taken in recent years. Finally, we dug through the incoming WR class. Mostly, we want to know if we'll be as impressed with the rookie WR's as we were last year!

We're back to the fantasy football podcast again this week. This time, we take a spin around the NFC North. We start our trip in Green Bay, discussing all the fantasy awesomeness to be had there. Then we look at the Lions and try and figure out if they're better this year or not.

We looked at all of the key additions and departures to all the teams. The Vikings get Adrian Peterson back, which isn't technically an addition, but it will certainly make a difference! Finally, we finish off in our hometown and talk about the Bears. The new regime has tried to put their stamp on this team, but they're still handcuffed with the same old QB. Can they succeed?

Update: Dave and I did manage to decide on a bet. He'll be taking Eddie Lacy and I'll take Adrian Peterson for season long points. We're wagering pizza!

The preseason is in full swing, complete with ACL tears and bad teams looking really good. Most importantly, it's draft time, and as is tradition, we've set aside one week per position. This week, we kick it all off with Quarterbacks.  Check out our Quarterback, and every other position rankings.

We talked about the QB's with good draft value like Palmer, Romo and Rivers. We talked about a few bad values in Newton and Kaepernick. We also took a look at the rookies, Winston and Mariota. Finally, we check in on the QB battles in Buffalo and Houston.
