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.

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.

I look at the remaining week 6 matchups and let you know who looks good to start and who you should sit (if you can). Swami was not available to join me this week but he will be back for next week's podcast. Thanks for listening!2020-10-1500 minFantasy Maverick PodcastWeek 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 10.13.20Another rough week for injuries so that opens the door for new players that you need to get on your team. I also talk about my pre-season regression player list versus my bounceback player list and there is a stark difference in how each list of players is doing this season.

I'm joined by Swami Rob of the 94 Rock Morning Show to discuss week 3 and look at the starts and sits heading into week 4.

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.

If you have suffered some critical injuries, I feel your pain but now is not the time to resign yourself. Injuries are affecting a bunch of teams in your league right now. Your options are to trade and to work the waiver wire to pick up critical players to help your team.

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...2020-09-081h 12Fantasy Maverick PodcastFive Sleepers You Need To Know About! - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 09.05.20It has been a crazy week and you should consider yourself lucky if you have not had your fantasy draft yet!

Thanks for listening.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...2020-09-0438 minFantasy Maverick PodcastYahoo Mock Draft Standard Points 12-Team, Pick #7 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 09.03.20I just found out I'll be picking 7th in my standard points league this weekend so I'm trying out a mock draft. I did the draft on Yahoo, which is the platform it's on and I'm super happy with the team! Got some great value in the middle rounds and got six Top 50 value players! I use My Perfect Fantasy Draft to help me pick players.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. This is a fantastic team that...2020-09-0235 minFantasy Maverick PodcastMock Draft Half PPR, Pick #8 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast Intro 090120We are right in the middle of draft season and I'm continuing using my Top 50 Dominator Strategy to build my teams. 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...2020-08-3141 minFantasy Maverick PodcastYahoo Mock Draft 12-Team, Pick #3 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.29.20I try out my Top 50 Dominator strategy to see how well it works in Yahoo.

I use My Perfect Fantasy Draft to help pick players.2020-08-3039 minFantasy Maverick PodcastTop 10 Fantasy Football Draft Tips for 2020 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.29.20Happy Draft Weekend, Everybody! I have ten tips to help you dominate your fantasy football draft this weekend. It starts with having a plan and involves things like not chasing last year's stats, taking a chance on one rookie RB and how continuity is your friend.

It works best for players in the 9th-12th draft position in 12 team leagues. Please watch my Draft Strategy Podcast from August 26th to see how it works.
The Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) is a high stakes tournament league that I play in. The way it works is you play in a 12-team league PPR with 1.5 TE PPR.

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. I've been saying that...2020-08-2636 minFantasy Maverick PodcastBreakouts for Fantasy 2020 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.22.20Breakouts are a new tag I have added to My Perfect Fantasy Draft this season. 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...2020-08-2236 minFantasy Maverick PodcastBreakout Wide Receivers Available Late! - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.19.20I have 3 wide receivers available after pick #120 that you need to target for your fantasy team!

I end up drafting two of them. Thanks for Listening!

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.

I also manage to steal Ertz in the 5th round! When it comes to 12 team and larger leagues I like to be the last person to draft a QB. I actually ended up not drafting a QB in the first 10 rounds (I was queued up to take either Matthew Stafford or Daniel Jones in the 11th round).

Look at how well players like Dak Prescott, Derrick Henry and Austin Hooper did last season. All were on a contract year and all massively outperformed their draft position. I mark all contract year players in my app. Players who are on a contract year this season get a gold dollar sign next to their name. Players who are on a contract year next season get a silver dollar sign next to their name. ...2020-08-0832 minFantasy Maverick PodcastLate Round Wide Receiver Sleepers - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 08.05.20I have 4 receivers who are available after pick #150 that offer at least bye week flex value for your fantasy team. 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!

This includes modifying your draft strategy this season and getting your commissioner to expand bench slots and have a contingency plan for who wins if the season is cut short! We also talk about the dangers of early drafting, specifically what happened to Ronald Jones and Ke'Shawn Vaughn's value this week.

It is a PPR league with 1.5 points for Tight Ends. The draft is 20 rounds and the starting lineup features a second flex slot (RB/WR/TE). I just received notification that one of my entries will be at pick #9, which IMO is one of the most difficult positions to draft from.

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.2020-07-1828 minFantasy Maverick PodcastTop Five Teams For Fantasy 2020 - Fantasy Maverick Podcast 071520These 5 teams are all going to be fantasy powerhouses this season.

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.
