Top 10 Tips & Tricks to Win Your Fantasy League - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/16

Now I'm interested. You talk to Russ. I bet if you ask Russ, hey, would you have preferred a dome in Denver? And he was said, let's ride. You're leaning on Russ in an argument. That's all he says. Look, the data is there. Obviously, those retractable roof ones. Get inside. I'm guessing in September, almost all of them are open. So it's like those might as well be outdoor stadiums. I'm fine with the retractable world. If it's pouring rain. As Kyle says, Lambo sounds cool until you get pneumonia. Lambo's awesome. Yes, it is. Thank you, Al. Until you get pneumonia. Nomonia's awesome, okay? Enjoy your pneumonia. All right, we have one more. Number one. All right, this is our combined tip for this season, the number one spot. And we, it's simply titled, Know Your League's Tendencies. Because this show, we give broad advice. We talk about things.

on a player level, team projection level, but we are not sitting with you in that room when the draft happens. I know for sure that despite the ADP where wide receivers are king, they rule the world right now in the first and second round in most leagues. I know our league of record. It's going to be all running backs. That's just how our league drafts. They scoop them up. They care so much. They hoard them. Home leagues will be that too. Right. A lot of them will be. But, you know, some leagues, they're still going to be flexing on the late round quarterback. And, you know, we had someone right in on our last mailbag show saying, I know my, it was even a super flex league. They don't draft quarterbacks very high.

You've got to know, okay, the guy that is between me and my next pick at the turn is a giant Packers fan. Well, as you say, Al, where do Packers players go in one of your family leagues? Oh, yeah, they definitely go a good full round higher. Yeah, I mean, you're fighting over them, right? Yeah, for sure. I mean, knowing who is in your league, what they usually do, it's a true advantage. It really is. And it's not always, oh, I've got a Packers fan, but. If you can know, and sometimes you can go back and look at your last couple drafts. Yes. You can actually go back and just look at it and be like, oh. This guy always takes the quarterback early. Exactly. Ben is always drafting the rookies. You know, just take a look and see what tendencies they have because it really does give you a crazy advantage. Yeah, we're trying to equip you to take knowledge about these players in situations and literally have you, you know, you go and you inject that knowledge into your league context.

because you might be in an 8 team or a 16 team. You could have, like we're talking about, players that have tendencies one direction or the other, you know your league better than we do. So you go and you take this information and all of your own information and you contextualize it for your league. And that's always going to be the way that you get the biggest advantage because it can backfire on you to like look at a straight ADP number and then go into your league and like, oh, I can. No matter what, I'm going to be able to get Mark Andrews in the third round. Well, not if he always goes or the tight ends always go in the first and second round in your league or something to that extent. You don't want to get burned by just counting on other players to draft a way that, like the general consensus draft. Would you recommend hiring a private detective? Absolutely. If you can afford it. Can you write that off? Can you write that off? Can you write that off? Can you write that off?

I think we could write that off. Detective inspecting fantasy football habits. If you draft any players this year in our League of Record draft that aren't playing in domes on a regular basis, I'm going to call shenanigans on that whole tip. Okay. I expect you to commit to full dome players. Full domedum? Donned them. Thank you. Now you're on Jason's level. All right. That is going to do it for today's episode.
