Fantasy Maverick Podcast

Another week is in the books but you never stop improving your team.   I've got the names you need to put in claims for this week including  several that are IMMEDIATE STARTERS for your fantasy team.  I also talk  about streaming Defenses for week 3.

I really love this team because I was able to stack Chris Godwin with  Tom Brady AND George Kittle/Brandon Aiyuk with Trey Lance!  This draft  was done before CEH's ankle injury so hopefully that's not too severe.   What do you think of this team?

This is my third tier podcast, please check out my tier rankings for  Standard Points (non-PPR) and PPR with TE Premium (1.5 PPR) below.  Once  again it is shocking to see different the tier rankings are for the  same player in different types of leagues.  While some are very stable,  Christian McCaffrey is #1 regardless of point schedule, that is not the  case with most players.  Thanks for watching!   Standard Points Tier Rankings:  https://youtu.be/pNfe7i1vv8U PPR with TE Premium Tier Rankings:  https://youtu.be/iFZ-cUTYwBw   Get My Perfect Fantasy Draft here:  https://fantasyfootballmaverick.com

As you know, not all positions in Fantasy Football are rated equally.   When you look at who will be available on the waiver wire after the  draft is done, you will see that some positions are easier to replace  than others.  I let you know how many of each position type you should  draft this season.     Thanks for listening!   Get My Perfect Fantasy Draft here:  https://fantasyfootballmaverick.com

I've been doing a lot of best ball drafts on Yahoo but they use 10-team  leagues.  Underdog fantasy allows different sizes of teams and I am far  more interested in 12-team as those are the leagues I play in with my  season long fantasy.  I use My Perfect Fantasy Draft's Best Ball mode to  help me select players and end up with an excellent team (Underdog  rated me 2nd best for projected points).  What do you think of this  team?   Thanks for listening!   Access My Perfect Fantasy Draft here:  https://fantasyfootballmaverick.com

In 10-team and smaller leagues every team has awesome starters and they  have a deep bench.  So how can you get an edge?  I use positional  dominance to get myself a top 3 option in both the TE and QB position to  help win those positions each week.  I use this strategy in this draft  to get a pretty awesome lineup with really high upside.  What do you  think of this team?    Thanks for listening!

Last week I did a tier based rankings for a PPR with TE Premium (1.5  PPR) and let me just say the results were shocking!  Even though I'm not  a big fan of tiers, it was a good exercise and it brought forward a few  players that previously I had not been real interested in.  I decided  it would be good to do the same thing for Standard Points (non-PPR)  leagues and again, the results were unexpected.  What do you think of  these tiers?

Week 7 has been affectionately called the byepocalypse for fantasy  because 6 fantasy relevant teams will not be playing that week:  Dallas,  Minnesota, LA Chargers, Jacksonville, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.  However,  what if you use this to your advantage?  The Bye week strategy is to  only draft players from those teams.  Of course this means week 7 will  be a loss, but on the flip side, your team will be at full strength for  every other week of the season while all the other teams will have to  deal with their bye weeks (week 6 - week 14).  I'm usually not keen on  this strategy but this year might be the exception.  What do you think?   Thanks for listening!

The Fantasy Football Players Championship is a High Stakes Tournament  that I've participated in (and won) over the past couple seasons.  Even  though I'm not a big fan of tier based player lists, I decided to do  this as an exercise to see how I would break down my tiers and who the  steals and duds were for each tier.  Let me say, some of this is  shocking - including a first round player who offers Tier 6 value!  The  players have all been ranked based on PPR scoring with a TE Premium (TEs  get 1.5 PPR).  I think I'm going to have to do this for all the  different scoring system's I'm in.   Thanks for listening!

The Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) is a high stakes tournament that I have been playing in for the past few years (with great success).  I have 3 entries this year and I was just notified that I got the #1 pick in one of those tournaments.  I've already done a podcast about my reservations of taking CMC with my first pick (the fantasy playoffs in this league start week 13, which is his bye week) so I decide to do a robust RB strategy and see if that can make me feel better about taking him first.  What do you think of this team? Thanks for listening!
