    Dive into the challenging world of 14-team fantasy football leagues with our comprehensive mock draft breakdown! When Trayton Collins asked us to tackle a 14-team, full PPR, three-receiver format, we couldn't wait to show two distinct strategic approaches from different draft positions.

    Drafting from the 4th spot, Frankie makes the bold choice to select Jameer Gibbs over Saquon Barkley, banking on Detroit's explosive offense and Gibbs' receiving upside. Meanwhile, Johnny demonstrates a receiver-heavy approach from the 9th position, securing Amon-Ra St. Brown, Marvin Harrison Jr., and DK Metcalf before addressing other positions. Both strategies yield compelling teams while highlighting the unique challenges of larger leagues.

    The episode reveals several crucial insights about 14-team drafts that could transform your approach this season. We explore the severe talent drop-off that occurs around rounds 6-8, the unexpected quarterback runs that can derail your plans, and the importance of identifying potential breakout rookies like Jaden Higgins and Emeka Egbuka. Plus, we demonstrate how to adapt when you miss on a targeted player and the value of creating quarterback stacks with your skill position players.

    Whether you're drafting from an early, middle, or late position, this mock draft provides actionable strategies to help you build a balanced roster despite the deeper player pool. The three-receiver format adds another layer of complexity, forcing difficult decisions between positional scarcity and overall value throughout the draft.

  • Steals of the Draft & Off My Board - Value Picks and Guys We Ain't Touchin
    Aug 11 2025

    Fantasy championships aren't won by drafting the flashiest names – they're won by finding value that others miss. In this strategy-packed episode, we reveal our top steals of the 2024 fantasy football draft alongside the players we're completely avoiding regardless of hype.

    Tyreek Hill at WR12? Despite averaging 10 PPR points per game last season (his second-lowest career finish), we explain why his current third-round ADP makes him the steal of the draft. With Tua healthy and potential trade rumors swirling, Hill's elite ceiling remains intact while his price has dropped significantly.

    Rookie sensation Tetairoa McMillan lands on our steals list as a potential alpha receiver being drafted as WR28 despite his planetary 6'5" catch radius and draft capital as the 8th overall pick. Meanwhile, the 49ers' receiver room chaos has created an opportunity with Ricky Pearsall – currently available in the 10th round – who could emerge as Purdy's top target with Deebo gone and Brandon Aiyuk out.

    Perhaps most controversially, we explain why record-breaking tight end Brock Bowers is completely off our draft boards. His second-round ADP (17th overall) creates too much opportunity cost, especially with the historical regression of top tight ends year-over-year. Similar reasoning applies to our fades of Jackson Smith-Njigba (being drafted at his ceiling) and Bucky Irving (inexplicably rising from RB16 to RB9 in ADP).

    Whether you're drafting at the top of the first round or navigating the middle rounds, our value-focused approach will help you identify the players who can deliver championship-caliber returns on your fantasy investment. The difference between a good team and a great one often comes down to these crucial draft decisions.

  • Mock Draft - 12-Team Double Flex
    Aug 11 2025

    Ready to dominate your fantasy football draft from any position? Join hosts Frankie and Johnny with special guest Paul "UltimateWolff" Rapp as they navigate a 12-team half PPR double flex mock draft from the 3, 6, and 12 positions.

    The trio showcases three radically different approaches that yield surprisingly effective results. Johnny secures the coveted Jamar Chase-Joe Burrow stack by strategically "reaching" in the third round, demonstrating when breaking ADP rules actually makes sense. Meanwhile, Paul deploys an "anchor receiver" strategy with CeeDee Lamb before grabbing Josh Allen in the second round, proving elite QBs can still anchor championship rosters when surrounded by the right supporting cast.

    Perhaps most fascinating is Frankie's approach from the 12 spot, where he loads up on premium running backs (Geanty, CMC, and Kamara) before addressing other positions. This "robust RB" strategy creates a dominant backfield while still finding receiver value later with Garrett Wilson and Stefan Diggs.

    The draft reveals crucial insights about positional value, including when to pounce on falling stars like Travis Kelce and Cooper Kupp, and how to identify those critical "teardrop" moments when talent significantly falls off at a position. The banter between drafters offers genuine tactical wisdom, particularly around creating trade leverage with handcuff selections and high-upside rookies in later rounds.

    Whether you're drafting early, middle, or late in your league, this mock draft provides actionable strategies you can immediately apply. Hit subscribe to catch more mock drafts throughout August as we prepare you for fantasy football dominance in 2025!
