  • The Ads Are Disrespectful To Listeners

    The ad format of interjecting them at random times, mid sentence, is absurd. It ruins the podcast. There’s no point in recording a pod with this ad format. No one else does it like this… and for good reason. I feel like FTN and the hosts are specifically mocking me for listening to this podcast; therefore I shall listen no more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Back to Basics: Fantasy Football and Redraft Philosophy Talk
Q: How do you handle the quarterback and tight end decisions relative to ADP?
You pick a tier or group you're comfortable with, then wait for the right moment to pull the trigger, staying flexible enough to pounce on opportunities like Joe Burrow if he falls, while otherwise avoiding overpaying for top-tier QBs and relying on later options for value.
Back to Basics: Fantasy Football and Redraft Philosophy Talk
Q: What is the first thing you should decide in a draft strategy?
Decide what you want to pay for your onesie positions (quarterback and tight end) and then structure your overall draft plan around those fixed points so you can attack the rest of the roster with confidence.
