  • My loss, your gain

    I don’t even want to write this review because I don’t want to give an edge to opponents but it’s in reverence to ETR that I do. This podcast… just listen deeper and you’ll win

  • The BEST

    The content is unrivaled. The division by division previews are tremendously thorough and it has become my favorite piece of pre-draft content to begin my draft prep with.

    My ONLY complaint is on some of the pods (most notably AFC South preview) there is like a consistent noise in the background that almost sounds like it could be someone hitting a desk or bumping into the mic or something. It kind of came and went and it seemed to happen more often when Gretch was talking. This is a very mino... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Finding Fantasy Value in a Weak RB Draft Class w/ Dwain McFarland
Q: Which back has the best long-term ceiling in your view?
Jeremiah Love is highlighted as the highest-ceiling back in this class due to potential top-7 draft capital, strong production metrics, and elite two-way ability, assuming a favorable landing spot.
Finding Fantasy Value in a Weak RB Draft Class w/ Dwain McFarland
Q: Who is your RB2 in this class?
The hosts discuss a tiered approach and settle on a top group that includes Jonah Coleman and Emmett Johnson as the likely RB2, given their well-rounded profiles and receiving ability, with Emmett Johnson providing a slightly higher boom-bust element.
Rookie Draft Prospect Breakdown w/ JJ Zachariason
Q: What about the running backs in this class and how do you view Trevion Henderson's sophomore year prospects?
Henderson is a hold in Dynasty with upside in best-ball, as the market has cooled and the season-long ceiling is tied to the backfield dynamics and Ramondre Stevenson's role, making him a nuanced value play rather than a clear buy.
Rookie Draft Prospect Breakdown w/ JJ Zachariason
Q: Where are you going in that direction of 106 in a super flex or just 105 in a one-quarterback rookie draft?
The hosts discuss Casey Concepcion as the next clear pick at that range, with a profile that supports late first or early second-round value, plus a tier distinction after the top three receivers.
Answering DFS Tournament Questions
Q: What do you do with lineups that are 20 points off the projected optimal?
Adjust contrarian plays based on how far you are from the optimal while considering ownership and game correlation.
