Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Well, it's finally here. I keep saying that but I feel like it's been such a long time since I've seen a real, honest-to-goodness NFL game and Week 1 is just around the corner now. With so many juicy match-ups this week, we have a blast on this podcast just going over all of the games scheduled to air and some of our takeaways from them. Highlighting Under the Radar guys in Week 1 should help some fantasy managers out there be aware of the talent on every NFL team just waiting to bust out. Now that we've identified some of these guys, we'll continue to bring them up on podcasts going forward and will surely recommend some of these guys as pickups in the coming weeks.

Remember that the best thing that you can do for yourself as a fantasy team manager is to pay attention to all of the news and stats that come out after each week. The difference between a winning and losing season can easily be one waiver wire pickup that you overlooked because you didn't have time.

With week 1 in the books, we get a little bit more of an idea how things will play out this fantasy season. We're not done with the bumps and bruises, however, not nearly! Week 2 brings with it quite a few challenges for teams unlucky enough to be hit with injuries to such players as Dez Bryant and Desean Jackson. The important thing at this stage of the season is not to panic, but rather to work the waiver wire and explore possible trades in order to have as much value on your team as possible over the next few weeks while those players are out. We discussed a few of those waiver wire pickups for week 2 and talked about guys that were overachievers or underachievers in Week 1 and whether or not those successes or disappointments would continue going forward.

Week 10 was a roller coaster ride, like most weeks in fantasy football, and highlighted some new talent due to injury like Bears' running back Jeremy Langford. This week on the podcast we brought rookie expert Shawn Foss on the show to join us in a discussion on injuries from week 9, player trends going forward and 2015 rookie outlooks going forward. We also drank a few beers and placed a few bets. Looking forward to the rest of the season! Check out our Week 10 rankings when setting your lineups this week.
