The Rotobahn Podcast

It's a quick show today. I go through some injury stuff and then get into what I currently thinking about Week 3 on DraftKings. 

In the second part of our trip around the NFL, we examine the rest of the Week 2 games.  They fall in this order for those who might want to skip ahead. Washington @ Packers  Falcons @ Vikings  Giants @ Cowboys Bears @ Lions  Patriots @ Miami 27 Bills @ Jets  Seahawks @ Steelers  I'll be back tomorrow with some catchup on injury news and a look at Week 3 DFS.  

Today, as promised, we try and dig into each Week 2 contest. I'll be going through my film notes from each game along with snap rates and takeaways. I make it about halfway through Week 2, with the rest dropping tomorrow.  If you are looking for something specific, the game breakdowns flow in this order. Carolina @ Cardinals Browns @ Ravens Jaguars @ Bengals  Broncos @ Colts Eagles @ Chiefs 49ers @ Saints Bucs @ Texans Chargers @ Raiders Rams @ Titans Back tomorrow!  

It's Tuesday so we're talking waiver wire.  This is a long listen at about 53 minutes talking time. We hit the QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs in order and then wrap up with my short list. The wire is always long this time of year. Next week is likely to be the same as these teams continue to figure who they are.  I'll be watching more games today and we will break down every single team tomorrow and on Thursday. We'll hit all 32 teams over the two shows. On Friday, we'll pivot to some Week 3 DFS.

Hey all! This is a quick 30 minute dip into the Sunday slate with some late breaking Sunday morning news.  Best of luck to all today!  

Apologies for the late posting, but we had some issues with Spotify and I wanted to get them ironed out—which I have. Today's show is a breakdown of the two major injuries from last night and a quick look at some Week 2 DFS. If you missed the Wednesday show due to the Spotify outage, you can check it out on Podbean. The Thursday show has a few solid nuggets too. I'll be back on Sunday morning with a look at the Sunday DFS slate. 

Today we look at some breaking news and we look at two more Week 1 tilts. There are takeaways. I'll be back tomorrow with a look at the Week 2 DFS slate.    Games Today:  Lions @ Packers Dolphins @ Colts  

I watched every damn snap, and it was not all fun. Welcome to Week 1. In this episode, I go through most of the non-island games—for fantasy purposes. In order: Bengals @ Browns Raiders @Patriots Titans @ Broncos 49ers @ Seahawks Panthers @ Jaguars Texans @ Rams Cardinals @ Saints Giants @ Washington Bucs @ Falcons

I have condensed 24 hours of game watching into about 80 minutes of waiver wire. If you want a specific position: QBs start around minute 17 RBs start around minute 20 WRs start around minute 34 TEs start around minute 46 Top Players around minute 1:05 I hope this show proves to be helpful. I'll be back tomorrow with some film takeaways from all 32 teams.  If you need specific help on claims and bids tonight, just ask me on Bluesky, and I will help you out. I'll be on late afternoon and again after dinner. Try to get to me before 8pm EST. See you all tomorrow!

As the title suggests we have a three-pronged show today. If all you want is some DFS skip to the end. I go through the news, some free agent thoughts and then some DFS. My plan is to do our typical quick Sunday morning show if possible. Hopefully I'll see you all then.  The regular season format kicks off on Monday, with a big waiver wire show on Tuesday. Good luck to all and giddyup!

It's opening night, and we are in for some fun over the next few days. In this show we chat about DFS and how I like to play. We also break down the news and get into some ideas of what might work this week.  Back tomorrow with more DFS and a look ahead to next week's free agents. 

Today, as promised, I recount the Beantown Brawl Draft. This is a long standing money league and all the combatants are fantasy football content creators—or used to be. I was drafting in the 11th spot. Details: 18-round draft Full PPR Single QB Non-TE premium Double flex Link to draft board.  

I am back, and tomorrow we'll get the pod back to where it ought to be. Today, a beleaguered host walks through his outcomes from the 2025 Tuna Auction. It was pretty wild.  Tomorrow we'll dive into the Beantown Brawl Draft.

Today we walk through the news, the rookies and some value vets, plus a little funky mock bonus at the end. Good luck in all drafts! The show returns on Tuesday the 9/2.

Today we walk through about 35 running backs who can be high value targets in ZERO RB builds, and in your other anti-fragile endeavors.  I'll be back tomorrow with a look at all the targetable rookies and some other targets with late round appeal.  Good luck in all drafts!

The prices, they are rising! Today we get into our targets why other people seem to be paying more for them. We'll also process the day's news and walk through another mock—this time from the 6-hole.  Back tomorrow! Good luck in all of your drafts!

Today's a solid hour of nuggets, news and a fresh mock draft from the 11th spot.  I'll be back tomorrow with a look at who we are targeting on a round-by-round basis, and we'll be using updated ADP. Best of luck in all your drafts!

Today we tackle some players news and I get into a debate about two of the smaller backs in this year's rookie class. At the end of the pod we walk through a mock draft that went very much according to plan. Let's hope our real drafts fall like this one! Apologies for the late post, but I was having some tech issues.  Good luck in all your drafts and see you all tomorrow!

I woke up with some unexpected energy, so I recorded a quick pod. We'll be getting into some sleeper takes. We'll keep updating these as we move through the busiest portion of drafting season.  It's roughly a 35 minute show and I go through all four positions.  Enjoy and see you all on Monday!

Today we go through some of the news we've missed throughout the week and then we'll walk through a mock draft as I do it and talk about various options we have at each selection.  Good luck with your drafts this weekend!

Today we have an hour of RB talk. We'll be working through backfields 14 through 32 and then we'll be getting into the backup RBs who have stand-alone value over and above some of the starters.  Back tomorrow with news and players to target over the weekend. 

Today we work through 45 minutes of running back goodness. This comprises part 1 of what I intended to be one long pod. For technical and other reasons, we are breaking them in two.  Part 2 drops tomorrow.  Friday's show will be about tightening things up for those drafting this weekend. 

Today we walk through the top 50 receivers in my rankings. Nothing too shocking but I try to get into how I am targeting versus just rankings.  Back with the running backs tomorrow!

In this episode we walk through the QB rankings. I'll be back tomorrow morning with the WR rankings. Enjoy!

Today we walk through the Tight End rankings. I'll be back with the Quarterbacks in a few hours, and we'll be dropping the Wide Receivers tomorrow.    Enjoy!

With a lot of folks drafting this weekend, today's show is all about targeting players. I break down the big news first and then it's player targets for about 45 minutes.  Next week's schedule: Monday: Tight Ends & Deep QB Dive Tuesday: WR Rankings Wednesday: RB Rankings Thursday: Heat Map & Deep Sleepers Friday: Updates and The Rotobahn Draft Plan

Today's pod jumps around from news to the Chiefs to some ADP discussion on both the tight ends and quarterbacks.  Back tomorrow with a list of draft targets for folks drafting this weekend!

In today's show, I go through various auction concepts plus somr other things I've picked after 25 plus years of auction drafting. There is a lot of basics but also some ideas more experienced drafters may find compelling. If there is further interest, I will tack on a second auction podcast with a lengthy section to answer your questions and perhaps share some of your comments. For example, if a highly structured approach is something you are sold on, and it has worked for you, tell us about it! See you all tomorrow.

It's a quick 24 minute show with some news and a fresh look at the Bronco's RJ Harvey.  I'll be back later today with a look at auction drafting.

Today we work through some news, a small rant on FF content and then we get into the RBs. I walk though my current Top 30 and then we look a bunch of targets that come later.  If you want to skip straight to the RBs, you want the 20 minute mark. Enjoy! Back tomorrow!

Just a casual pod today. Going through some mocks and doing one live. This is not must-listen stuff but you degenerates might like it!    See you all tomorrow morning. 

A lot happened yesterday and last night. We break it all down on today's pod plus a look at ADP in a conceptual way.  Back tomorrow for a Saturday pod!

As always we go through the news, After that I am getting into the wide receivers and my early tiers, plus a look at who I am targeting after the big dogs are gone.  Back tomorrow!

Today we catch up on some news and take a look at the dangers of fantasy love.    Tomorrow will be a receivers day. See you then!

Buckle-up!  This one is a whopper. You may even want to break this down into two listens. I go for a good 70 minutes on all these offensive lines, coaches and then the backs themselves. This was fun to do and I am happy with the results. Hope you all are too! Back tomorrow. 

Today we catch up on the weekend's news. I'm pushing the OL/RB show to tomorrow. It grew too big and I need to scale it back some and tighten things up. It'll drop tomorrow. See you all then!   Today's show includes:  James Cook Khalil Shakir Jordan Addison Tyler Warren Trey Benson

Good morning, all! Here's a pod for your morning coffee. It's me talking my way through a 12-team 20-round mock draft with PPR scoring. It's single QB and double flex. See you all on Monday! The team:

It's finally over! As Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part. And, the waiting is finally over. Here's another somewhat indulgent discussion on what I did and why. It's about a 40 minute listen as I walk through each and every selection.  Follow this link to look at the board.  See you all soon! Drafting season is almost upon us!  

Today's show is a 30 or so minute chat about the dynasty startup we talked about last episode. The draft is currently stalled near the end of round six, so it's a good time to take a break and catch you all up. You can (hopefully) follow the draft via the link below.    Link to 12-team superflex dynasty startup draft.   I'll be back with updates in the next few days. 

This is a relaxed podcast. It's basically me thinking through some things as I peruse the startup rankings from DLF's site.  DLF is a pretty good deal for those who've never used their site.  Anyway, the pod goes long—about 45 minutes. I walk through all four position groups and chat on players, and whether I am targeting them and so on.  I'll be back later this week—hopefully with some details from the draft. Enjoy!

Today I conclude my takes on the UDPL Rookie Draft. You can follow this link to see the draft.  My completed draft: I'll be back next week with a look at my evolving dynasty board, in anticipation of my upcoming startup draft. See you all then!

Today we get into the end of round two and the first half of round three. Even with two extra high picks, I couldn't get all of my guys. Thankfully my newly added players are more than enough to heal my emotional wounds.  The team so far:  1.03 - Omarion Hampton 1.06 - Travis Hunter 2.06 - Bhayshul Tuten 2.09 - Tyler Shough 3.06 - Jalen Royals (Player links got to NFL.com scouting reports)

We are now in day three of the 2025 UDPL Rookie Draft. Sadly, while we are in day three, we are only in the middle of the second round. Today I walk through the 19 picks that have already been made. I'll pick up on the rest tomorrow morning and throughout the week.  I should be doing a startup with ESPN's Matt Miller running the draft. It should begin shortly after the conclusion of UDPL. I'll be giving out the details on that as well.  Pretty soon we'll be making redraft boards and talking about the Scott Fish Bowl! See you all tomorrow. 

We're back! Today I spend about 30 minutes sorting out the draft and its ramifications on our upcoming rookie drafts. I spend a few minutes on each of the big four position groups. You can follow along with the UDPL Draft right here.  I'll be posting a few pods over the next week as we move through the draft! See you all soon!
