Just Run the Ball

What's that under the tree.....RAHEEM MOSTERT??? We had so many gifts this year in the late rounds and even off the waiver wire! We're talking about great value guys who are at the top of their position. What if we told you 3 of the top 5 RB's were drafted after round 4? Or that the #4 TE was off WAIVERS?? We go over the best gifts this year for fantasy football!

For this episode Tom Hines and I discuss the top 5 wide receivers we have for Fantasy this year. You're going to want to grab these studs in the 1st and 2nd rounds due to their high target volume from their QB's. These guys are all very talented so we discuss some positives and negatives on each person based on their team, schedule, past seasons, and overall potential. Wide receivers are next to running backs for most important positions in Fantasy so make sure you get these players early! There's still a lot that could happen before the season starts, but as of now, these are our top 5 wide receivers.  (Apologies for being a little loud on my end, will fix that for next time).

I sit down with a formidable fantasy football opponent, Tom Hines. After dueling it out in fantasy these last 3 years we decided to settle our differences and chat about this special group of running backs. These guys you want to target in the early rounds to compliment your RB1 or strong WRs.  We agree and disagree on different players and what we expect from them this upcoming season. Based on research and stats, we go through some of the most important stats and offseason moves that help/hinder each player. Who do you agree with more????

In this next episode focused around running backs for fantasy football, I focus on the next 9 running backs whom I consider to be "Tier 2" after the top 5 from the previous episode. This group of 9 is made up of many young players, up and coming players with a lot of upside, but slightly more risk than any of the top 5 backs. You're going to want to grab these guys in the 1st or 2nd rounds I again take a look at yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points, discussing which players dominate each category and where I would rank them for fantasy football. Many of these stats are very close, so certain trades and acquisitions weigh into my decisions for where each player is ranked. This was another fun one to do, and I'll keep them coming even if I end up being completely wrong!

This is the first episode discussing fantasy football players using stats and data from data I downloaded and used in Tableau. For this episode, I will be looking at the 5 best RBs for fantasy football and explaining some of the research I did based on yards and touchdowns. I'll share different numbers and statistics while giving my rankings of these 5 running backs for the upcoming season. I'll revisit these players as we get closer to the football season.  I'd like to thank Jake Messina for the custom intro and outro music that I will be using from now on! The intro fits the theme perfectly! Also shout out to Joe Imbriani for showing me how to use Tableau to organize cool data like this.  Let me know how you all like this type of episode and if you agree or disagree with my rankings! Thanks!

This episode I had a conversation with Aleks Lazowski about the first round of the NBA Playoffs. We discuss current matchups, who we think will win and move on. We also discuss different players and how injuries may impact each team who has stars who have been sidelined. We both share our predictions for best matchups throughout the playoffs and who we think will be in the ECF, WCF, and who will ultimately be this season's champion! With the NBA Playoffs going into round 2 as we speak, there will be more episodes in the future with Aleks and other guests as we revisit the NBA and discuss matchups in the later rounds, who we think will win and why! Stay tuned for new episodes!

Run the Ball is a podcast created to discuss Fantasy Football and other sports. Playing fantasy for years, I've come to enjoy researching different stats and players before each season in order to make decisions on who to target during the draft and who to keep an eye on during the season. I look at each position from RB, WR, QB, TE and even Defense and Kickers.  Some other things I look into are averages, schedules, and consistency among some of the top fantasy prospects. The information and stats I get are from ESPN Fantasy Sports. I'll also be discussing other sports like the NBA, as they are currently in the playoffs. I'll have guests on the show too as we share our opinions about different sports teams and athletes! Hope you enjoy!
