Rotoworld Football Podcast

With a week to go until the Cowboys-Bucs season opener, John Daigle, Pat Daugherty, Denny Carter and Matt Stroup rotate selections in an effort to put together a dominant fantasy team. We make our selections round by round based on Yahoo ADP, and go into detail on a wide range of players as we consider who to pick, including: Tyreek Hill, Calvin Ridley, Najee Harris, CeeDee Lamb, Chris Godwin, Kyle Pitts, D.J. Moore, Tee Higgins, Gus Edwards, DeVonta Smith and more.

Rich Hribar (@LordReebs) of Sharp Football Analysis and Shawn Siegele (@ff_Contrarian) join Pat Kerrane (@PatKerrane). The guys kick off the show by discussing the Patriots release of Cam Newton, making Mac Jones their clear starter. They then discuss hinge points of the 2021 season. The outcomes that, if they occur, will fundamentally alter the fantasy landscape. Will Austin Ekeler have a goal line role? Will Seattle finally install a modern offense? Will Dallas and Cincinnati live up to the hype? What if Detroit is competent and pass heavy? And what if Kyle Pitts is ready to take on a major role in year one?

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and John Daigle (notJDaigle) put a bow on the preseason, breaking down the Ravens' post-injury backfield and the Saints' passing plans.

Pat Kerrane (@PatKerrane) is joined by Peter Overzet (@peteroverzet) and Mike Leone (@2Hats1Mike) to discuss the repercussions of Travis Etienne's season ending foot injury. The guys then get into high stakes fantasy football strategy, how high stakes ADP differs from casual leagues, what types of players get pushed up the board, how to build structurally and what positions make sense to prioritize early.
