The Rotobahn Podcast

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.

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 have a quick 30 minute run through news and some preseason film.  Back tomorrow!

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!

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

Today's show is a 30 or so minute chat about the dynasty startup we talked about last episode.

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!

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.

This morning I take a quick 15 minute walk through the slate and what my plays are looking like.  Good luck today, in all your fantasy endeavors!  

Today I take a break from football to do a 40 minute catch up session on one of my absolute favorite shows, Severance.  This episode is a primer for those who've been away from the show since it dropped back in the spring on 2022. In the next two pods, we are going to do deeper dives into some of the really intriguing elements of Severance, which is a whole lot more than a look at the work life balance. It's jam packed with metaphor and allegory, and we'll try to unpack some of it and have some fun. Speaking of fun, Severance Season Two drops on January 17th! See you all in a few days! Lastly, you can read The Lexington Letter here!

It's a long pod today. We dive into some news and some potential roster ideas for this weekend and beyond. I finish up with a dive into week 14 roster construction on DraftKings.  See you all on Sunday morning!

Today we get into another rookie. North Carolina's Omarian Hampton—a back who needs to be taken very seriously. We love those 3-down ceilings! Back tomorrow with some DFS and some waiver wire redux.
