Best and Worst Draft Strategies (Ep. 221)

Derek Farnsworth, otherwise known as Notorious (@RG_Notorious) in DFS circles, chats with host, Bobby Sylvester about Week 15's DFS slate. The pair starts with quarterbacks (2:10) and are both high on Matt Ryan, Tyrod Taylor and Joe Flacco. When they transition to running backs (9:47), Derek is a big believer in running out both David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell. They also break down Kenneth Farrow and a handful of other intriguing running backs. Derek and Bobby have different opinions about the top wide receivers (18:52), then dive into some cheaper plays like Sammy Watkins and Stefon Diggs that could help listeners this week. When chatting about tight ends (27:44), Bobby gets really excited about LaDarius Green, while Derek mentions several interesting plays. Finally, they wrap up the conversation (30:28) by discussing defensive units and their favorite stacks of the weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
