Don’t draft players from the same team, wide receiver is deeper than ever, focus on running back volume — for the past two weeks or so, the team at Yahoo Sports has brought you a plethora of fantasy football strategy takes, advice and wisdom to get you ready for drafts.


In this episode, we destroy it all!


Davis Mattek joins the show to explain his draft strategy, “modified zero RB or die,” why the wide receiver isn’t as deep as you think it is, and why, if you believe in your starting fantasy QB, you would be wise to pair him up with multiple receivers from his team.
