Fantasy Maverick PodcastDealing With Injuries & Coach Speak - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 061621There are a number of players currently marked with an injury designation. Some are for injuries suffered last season, some are recovering from surgery and some are more recent. One thing you can be sure of is that no coach will be honest about the actual health of their player. Here's how I deal with injured players and when I consider them back to full health.
2021-06-1612 minFantasy Maverick PodcastMock Draft Monday - 12-Team, Half PPR, Pick #1 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 061421The draft tool, My Perfect Fantasy Draft, is finally ready to go and I take it on a test drive for my first mock draft of the season. I'm the first pick in a 12-team, Half PPR draft. I conduct this draft on the FantasyPros Draft Simulator. I call the first pick the blessing and the curse because if you nail that first pick, your team is golden but if you blow it your team will be fighting an uphill battle all season (think about the people who took CMC or...
2021-06-1447 minFantasy Maverick PodcastJulio Jones Trade Fallout - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 06.08.21The Julio Jones Trade has a huge impact on both the Atlanta and Tennessee franchises. I review all the major players to see if they're a winner or a loser as a result of this trade and there are three players that I really like post trade but none of them are Julio Jones! Thanks for listening.
2021-06-0816 minFantasy Maverick PodcastBreakout Rookies - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 06.01.21I'm super excited because I'm almost done with My Perfect Fantasy Draft and it will help you rock your fantasy draft this season. One of the things i love about the app is that certain players pop once you put in their data and that's what happened with these three rookies. All of them offer great value and should definitely be on your target list this year.
2021-06-0112 minFantasy Maverick PodcastLate Round Quarterbacks I'm Targeting - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 05.27.21When it comes to Quarterbacks, the Top 5 do provide you with some week to week upside, but those guys will all be gone by 6th round. After that point the points really level out into what I call "The Plateau". That means the difference between the #6 QB and the #16 QB is less than 3 points/week. The difference between the #9 QB and the #16 QB is about 1 point/week. For this reason I always like to target a QB late and here are three guys sitting outside the Top 12 that offer...
2021-05-2815 minFantasy Maverick PodcastBounce Back Running Backs - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 05.25.21A Bounce Back (or reversion) player is either a player that scored an unusually low amount of Touchdowns relative to their volume or someone who played at a very high level, but missed a lot of games due to injury. All these players are marked with a bounce back icon on my app so they're easy to spot and this increases their outlook and VORC score, making them easy to spot when using My Perfect Fantasy Draft. Here are the 4 RBs with this designation this year. Thanks for listening!
2021-05-2616 minFantasy Maverick PodcastThe Truth About Tight Ends - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 05.17.21The Tight End position has been terrible for years now. Basically you have 3 elite options (Kelce, Kittle and Waller) and everyone else sucks. Last year's #3 Tight End scored as many points as the 40th best receiver - worse than flex value! Unfortunately, Tight Ends are notoriously overdrafted relative to their production. We've got 5 Tight Ends on a contract year but all of them offer terrible value so even if they overperform, they're still going to bring your team down. Here's my strategy to overcome the weakness of...
2021-05-1915 minFantasy Maverick PodcastTop 50 Value Available after pick #50! - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 051321Value is one of the most important things I look at when it comes to evaluating players. My Perfect Fantasy Draft assigns a value rank to each players allowing you to easily compare that rank against their draft position. This allows you to easily see who is overvalued, fair valued and undervalued relative to their draft position. I have found 4 players that are available after pick #50 that offer Top 50 value for your team.
2021-05-1318 minFantasy Maverick PodcastMy Favorite Contract Year Wide Receivers - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 051121I love contract year players because of the upside they offer and this year there are a bunch of them. Some are in better situations than others to succeed and these three guys offer the most upside and value of the lot.
2021-05-1113 minFantasy Maverick PodcastContract Year Running Backs - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 05.06.21I love contract year players because of the upside. In my app I identify all players coming off their rookie contract with either a gold dollar sign (meaning their contract expires at the end of this season) or a silver dollar sign (meaning their contract expires after the 2022 season). Both designations offer bonuses to their outlook and VORC score but depending on the type of player, certain designations are better than others. I'm letting you know which contract year Running Backs I like the most this season and...
2021-05-0614 minFantasy Maverick PodcastMy Favorite Rookies! - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 050421The NFL draft was fantastic and now we know where these talented, young players will be this season. I review fantasy players from the first round to see which ones have immediate fantasy value and which ones you don't need to bother with drafting this season. Thanks for listening!
2021-05-0424 minFantasy Maverick PodcastProve It Deal Players - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 04.29.21There is a high number of players this season with 1 year "Prove It" contracts, including 4 in the top 100 players. I look at those guys to see if they are fantasy viable and discuss what other players I would actually draft on a 1-year deal. Thanks for Listening!
2021-04-2917 minFantasy Maverick PodcastQuarterbacks On A Contract Year - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 04.27.21I make no secret about being very bullish on contract year players. in My Perfect Fantasy Draft, all players coming off their rookie contract are marked with either a gold dollar (contract expires after this season) or a silver dollar (contract expires after the 2022 season). Both these designations gives a bonus to the player's outlook, which also raises their VORC score. This season there are 6 QBs with a contract year designation, I look at all of them and discuss which ones are best for fantasy. Thanks for...
2021-04-2718 minFantasy Maverick PodcastNew Coach Outlook 2021 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 03.04.21In general, I've always considered a coaching change to be a positive thing. By the time a coach is fired, his team has pretty much quit on him and some fresh blood can invigorate a team. Look at the success first year coaches like Kevin Stefanski, Matt Rhule and Frank Reich had at their new coaching gigs in 2020. We have 6 new coaches in the NFL for 2021 and I go over each and figure out which ones are in the best position to succeed.

2021-03-0423 minFantasy Maverick PodcastRegression Players 2021 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 02.24.20I'm back, baby! Rested, recharged and ready to help you kill it in 2021! I have very specific criteria when it comes to players I think will regress. I added a regression tag to my draft app last year to identify those players and mostly steer clear of them. The regression tag worked very well and so I'm looking forward to 2021 and what players are at biggest risk to regress using that same criteria. Thanks for watching!

2020-10-0141 minFantasy Maverick PodcastWeek 4 Waiver Wire - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 092920It was another Gonzo week for fantasy with 9 players scoring over 30 points and 39 players scoring over 20! I just have to ask, where is the defense? I thought it would start to slow down by this point in the season but it appears this trend is set to continue! This is a great week for Wide Receivers on the waiver wire! I'm less enthusiastic about the Running Backs and Tight Ends but there are some usable assets here as well. Thanks for listening.

I was super lucky on this one as the last Top 50 value RB (Todd Gurley) barely made it to my 3rd round pick. I drafted a nice, well rounded team but I am concerned about the top end value of my first two picks (as both Chubb and Jacobs are not pass catchers and this is a PPR league). Week one has me projected as the second highest scorer in the league, which...

2020-09-0517 minFantasy Maverick PodcastYahoo PPR Mock Draft 12-Team, Pick #6 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 090420It's important to know that, unlike other draft boards, Yahoo only uses a single list for whatever kind of league you are in. It doesn't matter if you are in a PPR league or a standard league, the players will be in the same order on the Yahoo Draft Board. In My Perfect Fantasy Draft, you do not want to use the PPR list from the quick start questions. Instead, once you are in the app, go to the League Point Schedule, select the PPR list and then an...

2020-09-0344 minFantasy Maverick PodcastFFPC Mock Draft 12-Team, Pick #4 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 09.02.20My drafts start in mass this weekend so I want to be sure I'm ready. The Fantasy Football Players Championship is a high stakes league and I have the 4th pick in one of those leagues. FFPC is a PPR league with 1.5 PPR for Tight Ends. There are two flex slots (not superflex) and a 20 round draft. I use My Perfect Fantasy Draft to help pick players and employ the Top 50 Dominator strategy to nab SIX players with top 50 value.

I manage to pull off getting 6 players with Top 50 value, which is fantastic. I also manage a trifecta of excellent RBs to start the draft! We go the full 15 rounds and I really like this team but I can see where there are some weaknesses in the players I selected (most notably in the Outlook ratings from my app). I don't agree with FantasyPros rating of this ...
2020-09-0231 minFantasy Maverick PodcastTop 50 Dominator Strategy Variants - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.31.20The Top 50 Dominator Strategy is pretty simple: Draft 3 RBs first then 3 WRs and try to get all of them with top 50 value. My app easily identifies the value rank on every player so you'll know who qualifies and this season there are several wide receivers in the 5th and 6th round that offer top 50 value and make this strategy viable. By having 6 players in the top 50, you will have an advantage over every other team this fantasy season! It's easy to do and it will work on most drafts...

Turns out it works even better because Yahoo has some inexplicably late rankings of certain players so key players in this draft are available even later than I would expect them too. I use My Perfect Fantasy Draft to help pick players.

I do a half PPR, 14 team mock draft on Yahoo from Pick #11 and end up with an excellent lineup! I use My Perfect Fantasy Draft to help me pick players.

How To Get SIX Top 50 Value Players - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.26.20Just think of the advantage your team will have when you are able to draft SIX of the Top 50 Value Players in a 12-team league. The Draft Tool My Perfect Fantasy Draft provides you with value rankings on all the players based on your league point schedule. The key is that I exclude QBs and Team Defenses from the value calculation so you can easily compare a player's value rank against their draft position to see who is undervalued, fair valued and overvalued.

The tag looks like a golden fist bump. Breakouts tend to mostly be players in their first and second season in the league (but some established players can get the tag as well) that are in a very positive situation on their teams. Being a breakout increases the player Outlook and they get a value boost in my app, which helps move them up the draft list and become more prominent when you're in Draft Mode...

2020-08-1941 minFantasy Maverick PodcastPlayer Value Hacks - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 081520Players value varies considerably depending on how your league scores points. A player that might be a good value in a standard points league may be horrible in a PPR league. The secret is that their value moves much more than their draft position and you can exploit that! You need to adjust your draft strategy to account for and take advantage of the kind of league you're in. I also do a standard points draft on Yahoo from the 5th draft position.

The fact that all of these guys are available as late as they are makes them very safe picks that offer fantastic value and the potential to be an every week starter. Three of these players are on a contract year, so they are playing for their career and I expect all of them to have a strong season! Thanks for watching!

2020-07-2229 minFantasy Maverick PodcastSmall League Strategy - Positional Dominance - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 071820In a small league (10 teams and less), everyone is going to have a great WR and RB corps, everyone is going to have a deep bench and there are always going to be good choices available on the waiver wire. So, in order to gain an advantage you need to deploy the Positional Dominance Strategy. What this means is that you spend an early pick on an elite QB and elite TE. By doing this you will have a week to week point advantage over almost every other team and that will help you win weeks.

2020-07-1140 minFantasy Maverick PodcastStartable Late Round Running Backs - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 070820How much volume does a Running Back need to be fantasy relevant? According to last year's stats, a RB that gets about 150 touches and targets is enough to make them a low end flex option. I have three names of players available Round 10 or later that are projected to exceed that threshold, which means they offer immediate flex value for your fantasy team.
