On episode 26 of our fantasy football podcast, Huseyin "The Brain" and Mike Mital recap the results of the 6th annual Fantasy Couch Fantasy Draft which had several surprises in store for the new league members (they weren't ready)!
The two discuss when is the right time to draft Kareem Hunt, Ezekiel Elliott and Kevin White now that injuries to the starters have begun to plague the preseason.
"The Brain" dissects Team #3 and exposes the faulty draft strategies that will doom many league members as the season unfolds. Late round, high-upside draft picks to target are also revealed. Week 1 match ups for the regular NFL season are some of the topics that are discussed.
On episode 25 of our fantasy football podcast, Huseyin "The Brain" and Mike Mital each reveal players that they view as either overvalued and undervalued. They seem to agree on most of the overvalued players when comparing them to their ADP (average draft position), but when it comes to the undervalued players, some minor debates start to ensue.
Huseyin "The Brain" has appeared on many other podcasts, radio shows and live streams, including Sirius XM, to talk about his Top 5 draft day tips, and he figured to also talk about them on this podcast. These are fantasy football draft tips that most people shy away from talking about but are extremely helpful and vital if you want to relieve a lot of the draft day pressures. Tips including why you absolutely need to queue up your players and avoiding messy foods during draft day such as Cheetos and saucy chicken wings.
The podcast ends off with talking about the annual Fantasy Couch draft which is the same day as the big fight. Naturally, we had to discuss one of the biggest events in combat sports history. Mike weighs in on his analysis and predictions when it comes to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight. You can watch the video being referenced on what needs to happen for McGregor to win here.
Will Odell Beckham and Mike Evans be Top 5 fantasy football wide receivers in 2017? The debate gets heated on both sides between Huseyin "The Brain" and Mike Mital, with Couch fanatic Cris Soto as the mediator.
LeSean McCoy and DeMarco Murray are dissected on which running back is more risky to own. Both of their handcuffs have extremely different average draft positions which makes the debate interesting.
Fantasy football league loser punishments are revealed including tattoos, additional fees and dresses. You can get your removable tattoos here. You can also watch the viral video here.
Finally, the crew discusses which team will win the Super Bowl, the Patriots vs. the field?
Yet again, my co-host went MIA and I had to improvise for this fantasy football podcast episode. And what better way to do so, then to head to the Fantasy Couch Fanatics Facebook Group and get a couple of those guys to join me on the CouchCast episode 23!
For this episode, Huseyin "The Brain" is joined by Cody and Ben to discuss various topics heading into the 2017 fantasy football draft. We debate over Isaiah Crowell for too long, but also manage to discuss Joe Mixon, Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Marshawn Lynch, and how many touchdowns Tom Brady and Kirk Cousins will throw this season.
My Top 300 Cheat Sheet is up and some of the rankings on their stir up a little bit of controversy as my rankings are a little different than the consensus.
After my co-host went MIA and my backup co-host followed suit, I went to the Fantasy Couch Fanatics Facebook Group to get 4 fans to hop on the show last minute. Thank you! We discussed several topics including, who the best quarterback in real life is, Jay Ajayi and his injury concerns, Todd Gurley, Jordan Howard, and if Amari Cooper deserves his current ADP of mid-2nd round.
Other topics discussed included my recent Instagram Experts League draft and my visit to Atlanta to kick it with Taylor Gabriel (and film it).
