Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Mock Draft! News, Notes, and Mailbag.

He's got a roll, and Woodhead is coming off an ankle injury to a backfield where they say Oliver's to compliment to Gordon, and you still got Brown in the mix. I'm worried about Woodhead getting actually the amount of attention that we think he's capable of. So it's just my take. We'll see what happens. Brian writes in, he says he's in a 12-team standard league, and then he said he knows that's lame, and his friends are intimidated little girls. I think he's referring to the standard league. It's all right. Standard League's fine.

At least you're at 12. Yeah, you're not in a touchdown only league here. Come on. Anyways, I was able to acquire an additional first and second round pick. What is your strategy if you're stacked with four picks in the first two rounds? You guys are great. Love the podcast. Well, we kind of spoke to this last episode of not going in with a strategy dedicated to, I'm drafting this position and this position. I think what you're going for is drafting your four best guys. I mean...

You just go for studs. I want... It gives you the luxury, though, of the early tight-in or the early quarterback. But he also said, I think, in the email, he lost his fifth and sixth. Third and fourth rounders to get those first. So, I mean, you're not, by the end there, you're not actually gaining any ground there. So I don't think it gives you luxury to take that extra guy.

You're in a better position to take Gronk and not be as hurt. Yeah. But to me, if you have four... Because your running backs are better. Yep. If you have four top... If you have four picks in the first two rounds, if you don't come out with two running backs, then you've made a mistake. Totally agree. All right. This one comes in from Mike G. Mike G wants to know. He says he has the first pick in his 10-team standard redraft league. However, someone really has a thing for Levion and traded his first and second round pick for his fifth.

for his first and fifth round pick. My league is super RB heavy. They usually go early. So should he try to get a top wide receiver in Gronk at 1011 and then best value at 2021 or maybe use that extra second to take a top tier QB? This is almost the same question as one before. Yeah, I'm still taking the, you'll see what the zero RB teams ended up at. And if your league's RB heavy, you probably need to take an RB at 10 or 11.

versus passing on them. I agree. And what you'll see with the zero IB is it could be amazing. Instead of that nice, warm, comfortable feeling of my team's amazing. There's not the, there's no question. He's looking at, oh, do I take advantage of this situation where a bunch of running backs are going to go high? And to me, that just says your scarcity is very high for running backs. Yeah, but what about the fact that his position is seemingly traded back to the 10? So now if you go running back, you're going.

you know, not that great of running back. I think you're going on. Jeremy Hill will be there. Yeah, Jeremy Hill will be there. And so that's great. Aryan Foster will probably be there the way I'm seeing these mocks. Double, double. Crazy. All right, Chad from PA wants to know he's in a 10-team, 17 round, PPR Keeper League. 17 round? Yeah, he can keep three guys, okay? This is awesome, by the way. He can keep, uh, he's keeping C.J. Anderson for a 16th. Yeah, you got to do it. Yeah. He's keeping Kelvin Benjamin for a 15th.

Chiching. Great value. And who should he keep out of these? And this is tough. Andre Williams for a seventh, big bin for an eighth, Jordan Cameron for a nine, or Percy Harvin for a 12. I don't love, I don't love any of those. Okay, so it's Andre Williams for a seven, Big Ben for an eight, Jordan Cameron for a nine, or Percy Harvin for a 12.

And if it's me betting on all of those options, because I think I get Big Ben in the 8th anyway, I get Jordan Cameron in the 9th anyway, I can get Andre Williams wherever I want. I think I take Percy Harvin in the 12th and just take a lottery ticket on him. I actually, that's where my head was leaning. It was between Williams and Percy. And Percy Harvard, do not forget, it was a very long time ago. But Percy Harvard was a fantasy beast when he's in the right situation.

He can produce. Yeah, in Minnesota, he was their guy on every play. And he brings the versatility. Yeah, I'm... Not that I'm predicting big things for him, but in the 12th, why not? I like the value of Big Ben here, because Percy Harvin, to me, is somebody that's not going to produce or do anything for your team. He does present a value at pick 12, because he's going in the round 9 in ADP right now. But...

Big Ben is normally being drafted in the sixth round. So if you can get him for an eighth, you're getting value of a player that's actually going to be on your team and playing. Whereas I think Percy's just not, I don't know. So you take Ben? I would take Ben. I definitely wouldn't take Williams. Williams is averaging in the 10th round right now. All right, dearest Walter, Donnie, and the dude. Come on, guys, you know this. I know the dude from Big Labowski. Yeah, that's it. Are they all three from that? Yeah, they are. This comes in from Buddy. Hey, buddy.

The elf? 14-team, one-half-point PPR. He can keep two of these players for the next three years. Okay. Levy on Bell, Eddie Lacey, Andrew Luck, Odell, Beckham, Jr. Congratulations. But he can only keep two for the next three years. I thought it was three. No, he can only keep two for the next three years. One quarterback league, he picks 11th in the snake draft. He says he's been toiling over this for weeks and needs some advice.

I see why you're toiling over it. That is really tough because you have Lev Bell, Eddie Lacey, Andrew Luck, and Odell Beckham Jr. That's not that tough to me. Okay, so if it's not tough for you, give me your two right now. Levian Bell and Eddie Lacey. If I can have who I think is... For the next three years. If I can have who I think is my number one and number two running back, literally my number one and number two ranked running back, there's nothing else I would ever do. And both of those guys are young. And I realize they don't have the longevity of a wide receiver, but I mean...

You know, they're still young and have years left on them. So to me, you talk me into it. I'm with you. Any change from you, Mike? Let's make it easy for Buddy. Well, it's already easy because there's two. So the consensus has already set. ODB, it's only been half a year. And that's the problem. But the problem with Eddie Lacey is one more concussion. Who knows?

I mean, he might be out. Yeah, but would you ever, ever draft? You do remember Lev Bell was concussed across the goal line as well. Would you? Yeah, but Eddie Lacey's now had a few. It's the NFL, yo. I'm just thinking you put these four guys in it. It's the national concussion league. You put these four guys on your spot when you go to draft. And every single time, you're going to take those two running backs. You have to consider the next three years, too. I mean, that's what makes Oda Beckham look really attractive. That's the only thing that kind of changes my mind, but.

Yeah, I'm going with the two running backs. Yeah, I can't find myself going contrary to that. That's our picks. Go Bell and Lacey and laugh at everybody else as you workhorse your way to titles. Yeah. All right, this email comes in from Chip. He wants to know how much does a quarterback's value increase in a two-cuby league? Well, wait. Exponentially. Yeah, huge. About double? Yeah. Yeah. No, that changes, that changes everything. When we talk. He does want to know strategies for a two-quarterback league, which is get.

A good one early. Yeah, get a good one early. And also, I would, basically, you're looking at the beginning and the end. You want a good one early, and then you want to have a list of guys that you can draft a little bit later that are studs. So, like, I know you love Carson Palmer, Mike. That's a perfect guy that is going to be a game changer in a two-quarterback league because sometimes it's really hard to get that second QB and still have a good roster. And if you can get those...

big blow-up potential for low, you know, draft value ADP, like a Carson Palmer, give me another one. Who else? Eli. Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah, I think you'd be way. Bridgewater. Yeah. And Derek's car, by the way, Derek. Oh, yeah. I need to come out and officially apologize for apparently rambling David Carr's name for about two episodes long. His brother has not returned to fantasy sadness.

Derek Carl and Raccoon. I think he just got sacked again. Oh, yeah. Seriously. Talk about a career just completely derailed from location. The quarterback changes when you have to play two. That's why when we talk about running backs is because there's not enough to go around and you have to play two. Well, when you have to play two quarterbacks, there's not enough to go around because there's two for every single team. So that's why the position. The whole game. And you need to get a stud.

And I would take a stud in the first round. Take a stud and then apply the streaming philosophy. That's what I do in a two-horterback league for us. Well, that's going to be rough. For that second QB. Because of the flexibility. Everyone's going to be a roster. No, you're right about that. All right. I don't think we have time for any more questions today. We're going to have to roll some over to the other show. I know. But we do have time for our review of our review of the week. Dang it. One of our favorite reviews of the day. Call it what it is. It's the review.

Review Osoras rags. There it is. Yes. This one comes in from Bin Credin, I think. He says... Wait, did you just give his last name? No, that's, it's one word. Bin Cridin. Bincreiden. I don't know. He says... His phone number. Me. Mee.
