In this week’s episode, we bring to you the journey of five year NFL veteran Bruce Ellington. We talk about what it was like growing up in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, being apart of an athletic family, his journey through the recruiting process and how he ended up at the University of South Carolina on a basketball scholarship. He also tells us about the moment he decided to give football another shot, balancing both sports and when he knew it was time to go pro. Bruce goes on to give us insight into his process leading up to the draft and ultimately being drafted by San Francisco 49ers. He details Kaepernick‘s protest and what it was like to be on that team during this time, the ups and downs of playing in the NFL and opportunities he wished he had taken advantage of. It’s so many valuable lessons in this episode that don’t want to miss.

We always compare Fantasy Football to a Stock Market, and that’s never more apparent than Free Agency. Fantasy Football Values are now all over the place after a crazy 2019 NFL Free Agency. We open with Fantasy Risers, discussing the Tampa Bay receiving corps with massive vacated volume, Mark Ingram’s value now as a Raven, Latavius Murray’s surging upside in New Orleans, and Josh Allen’s Year 2 Upside, along with some other Honorable Mentions. Then, we turn to some Free Agency Fantasy Fallers. Are people overlooking Carlos Hyde’s impact on Damien Williams? What should we make of the three-headed nightmare San Fran is becoming now that Tevin Coleman has arrived? Is Derrius Guice still set to “never leave the field” with the corpse of AP returning? Plus, why are Golden Tate, Gus Edwards, LeSean McCoy, and Tyrell Williams all falling in our eyes? Last but not least, we hit the Fantasy Penny Stocks. What should we make of Mike Davis in Chicago? Can Donte Moncrief ever realize his true ceiling? Who will be Case Keenum’s next “Slot Slut”? Plus, some rapid-fire takes on Devin Funchess, Breshad Perriman, Maurice Harris and Bruce Ellington bring an All-Time Podcast home. You won’t find a more jam-packed, bold Fantasy Free Agency Breakdown than this, so follow this crucial offseason lead block to the promised land.
Right now we talk about the lions cutting Glover Quin, Bruce Ellington, and Nicholas Grigsby. Enjoy!!!

Fantasy Football Podcast: The Big Tilt Ep 11: Host Eric McClung (@EricMcClung) & Matt Kelley (@Fantasy_Mansion) welcome Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) from FantasyLabs to discuss the Week 11 DFS slate. Why WR/CB matchups are all the rage. Todd Gurley and Leonard Fournette are the most expensive players in DFS despite very diffcualt matchups on paper. Jeremy Maclin is a value very few will consider using. Bruce Ellington has a great opporunity with Will Fuller ruled out. Larry Fitzgerald has dominate in the slot against Houston, while John Brown is heathly and getting deep targets. Stefon Diggs could face a shadow matchup he can exploit. Chris Thompson and Jamison Crowder are each in a great spot at New Orleans. Drew Brees is at home at a very cheap price while Mark Ingram should keep rolling. Travis Kelce should smash the Giants, but don't forget about Kareem Hunt or Tyreek Hill. Rob Gronkowski is also in a great spot for a tight end facing Oakland.

Mike Tagliere (@MikeTagliere_NFL) from Pro Football Focus joins the pod to discuss the news of the week, predictions for the upcoming NFL season and deliver some hot takes. We begin with Teddy Bridgewater's injury and how it impacts this year and the future for the Minnesota Vikings (1:06), and we also discuss Bruce Ellington's injury and how the 49ers will compensate for his absence (7:55). Moving on, Mike and Bobby discuss which running backs can rush for over 1000 yards this year (11:12), if the Steelers passing game can continue to put up gaudy numbers (15:38), which quarterbacks could throw 40+ touchdowns this year (18:19), and how many receivers will haul in over 100 receptions in 2016 (21:58). We move on to hot takes and make predictions for Alshon Jeffrey (25:56), Coby Fleener (27:09), Tyrod Taylor (27:57), podcast favorite Donte Moncrief (28:44), Sam Bradford (30:41), and Carlos Hyde (33:23).

The crew of Michael Moore, Brandon Marianne Lee, and Pat Thorman are back to talk about the Teddy Bridgewater injury, the Chiefs and Seahawks running back situations plus we mourn Bruce Ellington's hamstring. Then, Michael talks with Jason Baumgardner, director of the upcoming movie, The Perfect Lineup, along with a star of the film, DFS pro Scott Hanson.
JJ Zachariason (@LateRoundQB) joins the pod to talk fantasy football sleepers heading into drafts. We begin with a player JJ thinks could possibly be a late round steal like David Johnson was in 2015 (1:41). We continue by looking at rookie wide receivers who have a chance to break out (4:19) and backup running backs who could finish the season as an RB1 if there is an injury ahead of them on the depth chart (6:24). JJ gives us sleepers at each position, starting with quarterbacks Matthew Stafford (10:14) and Jameis Winston (11:29). Bobby and JJ discuss Tyrod Taylor (12:36) and Robert Griffin III (14:19) before moving onto sleeper running backs outside the top 40 ADP. Players include Bilal Powell (15:55), James White (17:06), free agent Karlos Williams (18:20) and Zach Zenner (19:11). Moving onto wide receivers outside the top 40 ADP we discuss Phillip Dorsett (20:27), Mohamed Sanu (21:24), Jermaine Kearse (23:04), Steve Smith (23:40) and Bruce Ellington (24:41). We talk about Charles Clay being a possible deep sleeper at the tight end position (25:28) and then move over to players going between 50 and 100 in ADP that could end up top-5 at their respective positions (26:37). Players include podcast favorite Donte Moncrief (26:57) and Melvin Gordon (28:31). We finish by looking at players we like at the back of the first round (30:33), and backup quarterbacks you should look at drafting if you take Tom Brady (36:21).
John Halpin talks more fantasy football draft strategy with Mike Tagliere (Pro Football Focus, Lights Out Fantasy Football).
