Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

8/12/14, Preseason News, The West, The Bridge

This week we’re joined for the first time by our buddy and drinkfive writer Matt Cochrane. We enjoyed some leftover Two Brothers beers from this past weekend’s draft. We also featured the music of Frank Zappa tonight, mostly because he’s just a badass.

On to more important things, like football finally being back! We talked about a couple of things that we learned from the first week of preseason games. Yes, it’s very underwhelming, but at least it’s football. The real stuff is coming soon.

We’re now halfway through our attempt to preview every single fantasy relevant player. This week we covered the West divisions. We’ll be doing either the South or East next week, we haven’t decided yet. We also made it to the most recent episode of 'The Leftovers'. Be sure to check out Dave's review here.

Make sure to join us next week, live at 9pm CST on blogtalk radio (blogtalkradio.com/drinkfive). Feel free to send us your questions and we'll answer them on the podcast!

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.

The preseason is rolling now and while this doesn't count for the real NFL teams, it's draft season for the fake teams, and that really counts. This week we took a look at the NFC's offseason moves and where people have moved on the fantasy radar. Make sure to also check out last week's AFC breakdown.
