The Sausage Fest gets extra meaty this week as the boys are joined by numbers guru and co-founder of Razzball, Rudy Gamble. Listen in as Rudy regales B_Don and DT with tales of the creation of Razzball and then attempts to crush Donkey Teeth’s Tarik Cohen hopes and Kerryon Johnson dreams. Of course the guys also had to grill Gamble regarding the fantasy outlook for all Da Bears offensive players in 2018. Other topics of conversation in this week’s show include the process of projecting football statistics, snake and auction draft strategy, Lamar Miller, Peyton Barber and much more.

We want to thank everyone for their participation in the RCL leagues to this point. We hope everyone is having fun with their drafts with their favorite writers. Great news! We have four leagues that need filled and we need your help! You can play against me, Son, Kerry, or our new writer, Nic. The drafts start on Sunday and go through Wednesday. That's Sunday until the season starts! The rest of this is copied and pasted. You all know that I'm not very wordy. Do you want to play in more than one league? Go right ahead! You can play against all of the Razzball writers that you want until their leagues are full. You can start your own league and invite all of your buddies. RCLs went through some big changes last season by switching to IDP and the Fantrax platform. In the respect of full transparency, it could have went a lot smoother. I honestly feel like we have made a lot of improvements by switching to PPR and returning to standard rosters. Fantrax as a platform has definitely made improvements as well. I think they are getting better and better every season. Last year was a struggle for me on Fantrax. I was having trouble figuring out the regular functions that I was used to with the other big sites that I play on. To be honest, I wasn’t a fan of the interface either. This baseball season, I had to give Fantrax another shot to play in a couple of industry leagues. I was very impressed with the new and improved interface for baseball and it didn’t take me that long to get used to it this time around. Early on in this fantasy football draft season, I’m enjoying the Fantrax slow draft that I am in. If the switch from Yahoo to Fantrax, kept you away last season, give it a shot this year. If you didn’t enjoy our format last year, maybe you’ll like that we are going back to regular rosters. As always, we’ve got prizes!
What's going on everyone, and welcome to the final post of mine before the start of the regular season. It's been really fun writing almost every week since early June, spending countless of hours writing, researching, and talking to Matt and Reid about Travaris Cadet. Hopefully the 2019 offseason will be just as fun! Anyway, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon, as you can catch me on Razzball twice a week, once on Wednesday's releasing my weekly player ranks, and on Saturday for the return of my column, "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em". It's going to be a great year, so get ready for some amazing content this year from myself and the rest of the Razzball team! Anyway, speaking of rankings, here is my final update at Pre-Draft rankings for the 2018 offseason. Enjoy!
After the first big draft weekend, it's nice to reflect on rankings and see where you actually are looking at players rather than what you perceived to be a fair ranking prior to draft season. A number of changes from the initial posting based on injuries, some missing players, and yes, even some recent news. Hopefully the rankings update will help you with your leagues as fantasy football draft season wraps up.

Not every pre-conceived notion is accurate or needs to be stuck by. I wrote in my 'Undraftables' series that training camp can change my opinion on player usage and team role. That has happened in a few cases. In the interest of being an open book to the readers that give me a job, I'm going to call myself out on some of my ideas earlier in the preseason. I like a lot of what I wrote in the early summer months. I'm still fading Mike Evans, I don't want any Lamar Miller or Michael Crabtree, so on, so forth. On the bright side, there are only three players that I have flip-flopped on!
The Juice is loose in this week's Ditka pod as the guys profile new Cleveland Browns stud Jarvis Landry during the wide receivers preview episode. B_Don and Donkey Teeth also take a close look at evil Packer Randall Cobb and wide-awake sleeper Keelan Cole. In addition, the sausageers dig deep into their respective 2018 wide receiver rankings which can be viewed below. Find out which receivers to draft and which to avoid here: The 2 mustache aficionados also make a couple stogie bets with Michael Crabtree over/under 7.5 TDs and Jarvis Landry a top 20 WR in standard.
Week 3 of the preseason is a wrap! We got to see some starters in a more extended role unless you are the Bears and didn't play them at all. Week 3 of the preseason is known as the dress rehearsal before all of the starters rest for the final week and let the guys on the verge of making the roster battle it out. We've lost some big names like Derrius Guice and Marqise Lee but our first couple of rounds seem to be intact. I didn't hear as much complaining about the helmet rule this week so maybe we are going to get off to a better start in the NFL than initially thought. Here is what I saw in week 3 of the preseason. The Razzball Fantasy Football Commenter Leagues are still open, join today!
We made it! We finally made it, it’s the heart of draft season and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. If you’re like me, you’ve been consuming every bit of FF content since the NFL Draft, and have participated in countless mock drafts. Shhh…don’t tell my girlfriend how many mock drafts I’ve completed. By now, you’ve tinkered around with different draft strategies and hopefully you landed on one that will lead you to the promise land. Before it’s too late, I want to make sure you are not forgetting a critical component that can set you up for a slam dunk on draft day-- the handcuff. As a new writer for Razzball.com my main focus will be providing you with a weekly RB handcuff report. I look forward to interacting with you all as the season progresses. Let me know if there is a topic or player you would like me to comment on. Today, we will focus on how handcuffs can impact your overall draft day strategy and give you a couple of the top RB handcuffs. Are you ready? Let’s do this!
We are approaching the beginning of the Fantasy Football season. SURPRISE! And as it usually goes, there are Fantasy Football Rankings all over the place and everything else like strategy, auction values, projections, etc. are falling into place... except for one big thing (that’s what she said). Your potential team name remains the one true mystery that must be solved! Be the Sherlock of your league. Don’t be the Dr. Watson. I mean, do be a doctor if you can, that seems like an admirable profession that pays well. More like: don’t be the “Watson” part. Actually, you know what? Being Martin Freeman isn’t that bad either, since he received millions to star in a plethora of The Hobbit movies with a guy who wears spandex and ping-pong balls as a living. So, actually, you can be both those guys AND have an amazing team name. That’s what I’m trying to say. I think... Anyhow, allow me to introduce the Razzball Fantasy Football Team Name Generator! (And feel free to post some of your favorite team names, from our Generator or your from your own creation below!)
