Hello everyone! We are back with another RazzBlitz episode with a very special guest! We have on Josh Sperry (you can follow him on Twitter here) from Fox 5 Atlanta, 680 The Fan, and Fantistics Fantasy Sports! We talk about a wide range of topics, from previewing the 2017 Atlanta Falcons, to recapping the injuries of the preseason, to talking about draft risers and fallers from the offseason, to late round QB’s we have fallen in love with, and even discussing Miko Grimes! It’s an episode you surely can’t miss, even if it’s without our fearless leader Matt Bowe, who was truly missed. That’s a lot of the uses of the word “miss” folks. Enjoy!

2017 Draft Stock Report: August Value Changes

September 1, 2017 | 2017 Buy/Sell, 2017 Fantasy Football | 36 Comments

by:

If we were all born geniuses we wouldn’t be drafting until this weekend for leagues that we pay into. Most of us are terribly impatient fantasy football players and for whatever reason need an extra week or two to stare at rosters that we can’t do anything with while top end wide receivers and running backs tear their ACLs making awkward cuts.  Julian Edelman, Spencer Ware, and Cameron Meredith are all players going anywhere from the early to middle rounds that have had their seasons ended before they even started and thousands of people have these players on their rosters because WE MUST DRAFT IN AUGUST BECAUSE AUGUST IS DRAFT MONTH.  MY FANTASY BASEBALL TEAM SUCKS AND I NEED A ROSTER TO LOOK FORWARD TO. Yeah, I’m the exact same way.  Whether it is due to an injury on the roster, a good preseason, or a player is just being overlooked, here are some players that are worth your picks and also some that aren’t worth your time based on recent changes in August.

Cut the Head Off the Snake and Bid With Confidence

August 31, 2017 | 2017 Draft Strategy, 2017 Fantasy Football | 7 Comments

by:

The best thing about still being involved in fantasy baseball is that it means I am in the playoffs. While I am in many leagues, there are three which I consider the important leagues. I define “important” to mean there is a reasonable buy-in accompanied with it and an even more reasonable first place prize. Unsurprisingly, if you read my baseball posts, all three of these leagues are points leagues. Currently I am in the World Series in two of them, and the semi-finals of the third. Pulling off a three league win would be pretty sweet, but I’ve still got a long way to go.

The worst thing about still being involved in fantasy baseball is that it means my fantasy football research has been severely hindered and delayed. While I refuse to play in a pay league where the draft occurs more than a week before the regular season starts, this still gives me little time to prepare. And perhaps even worse, it reduces that amount of pre-draft advice I can attempt to sling your way. Not that many of you give a sh*t what I have to say, but I do have a handful of readers that have at least some interest in my posts.

Predicting the Top 10 Wide Receivers

August 31, 2017 | 2017 Draft Strategy, 2017 Fantasy Football | 44 Comments

by:

This is Part Deux of Predicting the Top 10 for 2017. For the running back series, click here.

My primary motivation for the running back piece was due to the proliferation of the “Zero RB” drafting strategy. The basic premise of this strategy is that running backs are too risky due to injury and usage (RBBC). Was there a way to mitigate the risk or identify trends from history that could assist with choosing the right running back?

The “Zero RB” strategy advocates drafting wide receivers. “The wide receiver gets more projected points when you adjust projections for risk.” If that’s the case, then ADP for wide receivers should be able to predict the final top 10 at a much higher rate than for running backs, right?

Going back 12 years, though, that just hasn’t been the case. Here’s a look of the percentage of top 10 ADP WRs that finished the season in the top 10, per season.

IDP Leagues: 2017 Fantasy Football Targets

August 30, 2017 | 2017 Fantasy Football, 2017 IDP Leagues | 8 Comments

by:

IDP is becoming a big part of what we do at Razzball, especially in our new RCL IDP leagues.  Background knowledge of players to draft can set you apart and become a deciding factor in weekly wins and losses.  I’ve already written a general strategy piece about how and when to draft IDP spots.  Also the article emphasized recognizing how your league scores your IDP scoring, that is the most important part of all.  But, we haven’t really expressed what individual players to target.  If your IDP spots aren’t position specific, I’ll give you a few linebacker names that I really like.  If your IDP leagues are position specific, we will dive into a few defensive line and defensive back names as well.

Razzball Football Subscriptions Now Include ‘What If’ Projections

August 30, 2017 | 2017 Daily Fantasy, 2017 Draft Tools, 2017 Fantasy Football | 4 Comments

by:

We feel we are the best in-season fantasy baseball subscription service for both season-long and DFS. It is possible that our ethos of ‘We give advice for free, avoid massive cost outlays for fancy software, and ensure our collective investment (our time, your money) goes towards creating/maintaining the best projections and powerful but simple tools’ is not for everyone. So be it.

Getting to where we are in MLB was not easy, it did not happen overnight, and it never would have happened without the feedback and support of everyone at Razzball Nation (I know that sounds like standard BS but loyal readers know Streamonator was a commenter idea – I just executed and iterated on it.).

It was about 15 months ago that Grey and I decided to invest in building the best fantasy football subscription service. We knew it would be a massive learning curve and that there are some great, established players in this space. While I imagine we will be even better 12 months from now than we are today, I highly suggest jumping on board for 2017 because things are looking really good and we need the support to justify continued investment.

2017 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings: Week 1, Way Too Early Edition

August 29, 2017 | 2017 Fantasy Football, 2017 Weekly Rankings | 100 Comments

by:

2016 Accuracy Rank QB RB WR TE K DST
Weekly Rankings 9 31 5 27 40 9 4
Draft Rankings 3 66 10 7 23 66 112

Readers have already started clamoring for Week 1 Rankings, and I understand. While I generally choose this week/weekend to do the bulk of my drafting (spots are still open in our free-to-play RCL League!), just because I haven’t drafted much yet doesn’t mean you haven’t… And plus, clamoring has the word “clam” in it and I love clam chowder. You can take that two ways, and I’m pretty sure both of them are sexual. So there. And yeah, in case anyone was wondering, our Draft Rankings are pretty legit (L-E-G-I-T, because you need to spell it for extra legitimacy) as you can see above, but so are our Weekly Rankings.

I’ll be releasing an updated Week 1 Rankings post during my normal slot (hehe, slot) next week on Thursday, however, I do recognize that there are those of you out there ready to get their Week 1 lineups up and running. So for those of you already in season-mode, here are my Way-too-Early Week 1 Rankings for the 2017 Fantasy Football Season!

Hey guys, we are only a few weeks away from real football! Football that actually counts! Holy moly! I’ve been a bit tied up these past few weeks, and haven’t been able to finish my division previews (thanks a lot Sammy Watkins, Ezekeiel Elliot, Julian Edelman and Spencer Ware). So let’s do that, with the final two coming in the AFC West and South. So for today, let’s look at the AFC South!
