Draft Sharks Fantasy Football Podcast

Ben Standig covers the Washington football beat for The Athletic, and in a past life he used to work in the fantasy football industry. So Matt invited him on the day after the Commanders acquired QB Carson Wentz from the Colts. We're not stopping at addressing that situation, though. We're tapping Ben for insights on Curtis Samuel's outlook, the J.D. McKissic plan and why you should remember the name Cam Sims.Check out our fresh 2022 fantasy football rankings, as well as up-to-date dynasty rankings.

Jared joins Tod Burros (@BestballNFL) to close out this 8-part series with a dig into the NFC West. There are, of course, questions about whether Cooper Kupp can repeat, whether Cam Akers can rebound and whether Odell Beckham Jr. will return. There are questions regarding who will surround Kyler Murray in Arizona ... and whether the QB himself will stick around. We're all wondering what the Trey Lance switch will do to San Francisco's offense -- and whether Deebo Samuel makes sense at his newly steep ADP. Seattle has a lot of its own questions to answer, starting with Russell Wilson. And the guys branch out from the division to explore Matthew Stafford's legacy as well as how best-ball tournament advance rates can help your drafting.Here's the rundown:Stafford in the NFL Hall of Fame? ... 00:28Los Angeles Rams ... 6:44Arizona Cardinals ... 28:31San Francisco 49ers ... 42:09Seattle Seahawks ... 49:25Find the Run to Daylight podcast on Tod's YouTube channel.

The AFC West gave us a pair of playoff teams in the 2021 NFL season, plus another that just missed. But what lies ahead for a Justin Herbert and a Chargers offense that might be hitting reset at WR and TE? Should you draft the Broncos right now as though they're getting Aaron Rodgers? Is Javonte Williams going too early? Are the Chiefs already showing signs of decline? and do the Raiders present the most value in early 2022 best-ball drafts? Matt joins Tod Burros (@BestballNFL) to talk through each team (and related topics).Here's the rundown ...Kansas City Chiefs ... 2:28Las Vegas Raiders ... 22:55Los Angeles Chargers ... 36:23Denver Broncos ... 47:55Find the Run to Daylight podcast on Tod's YouTube channel.

Jared joins Tod Burros (@BestballNFL) for the 6th episode in this series. But just how much is there to dig into in the NFC South? Tom Brady's retirement means 3 of 4 teams face bit QB questions. And the other might rather have a question to answer there instead of Matt Ryan's huge contract. But we can't ignore these situations, because they'll impact the outlooks -- and early ADPs -- of wide receivers such as Mike Evans, Michael Thomas and D.J. Moore. There's also backfield uncertainty to address here. And Tod even accidentally grants us all insight into his drafting with a co-manager ...Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... 1:02New Orleans Saints ... 12:59Carolina Panthers ... 25:33Atlanta Falcons ... 33:41Find the Run to Daylight podcast on Tod's YouTube channel.

It's been a little while, so Mike Schopp and Adam Krautwurst are excited to get back to it. Best-ball drafting for the 2022 fantasy football season is already underway, and that means we already have usable ADP numbers. The Deep End boys are reviewing some of their early drafting to talk through some picks and strategies. Is Jonathan Taylor really the clear-cut #1, or is a big name being overlooked? Who's staying on the draft board longer than he should? Who's going too early?

It's already been an interesting offseason for the AFC South, which has replaced half of its head coaches. Derrick Henry remains in the middle of Round 1 in current best ball drafts. But does he belong there? Do we know who will play QB for the Colts in 2022 -- or WR or TE, for that matter? Doug Pederson's Jaguars and ... Lovie Smith's (???) Texans might have more questions to answer than we have to say about them.Tennessee Titans ... 6:46Indianapolis Colts ... 27:34Jacksonville Jaguars ... 43:19Houston Texans ... 50:08Find the Run to Daylight podcast on Tod's YouTube channel.

Is Cincinnati's big finish to the year making Bengals too expensive in early drafting? Matt and Tod Burros (@BestballNFL) dig into that along with other AFC North questions in this 4th episode of the Best-Ball Study Hall series. How should we treat the post-Ben Roethlisberger Steelers? What should we expect from the Ravens offense with RBs coming back?

And how do we treat D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown coming off impactful fantasy seasons?
