Podcast time: Prep for your draft

Another Fantasy Focus podcast is available for your listening pleasure. This time we're offering up six simple steps to keep in mind as you begin prepping for your football draft. From mastering the tier system to mock drafting your brains out, we've got you covered.

Fantasy Focus podcast - football edition

Colleague Jason Dill and I did our first football edition of the Fantasy Focus podcast this year for your listening pleasure. This week we discussed a few of the sleepers and busts I've been blogging about, plus some strategies to consider as you prep for your draft. Enjoy.

Podcast: Fantasy All-Stars

Podcast partner Jason Dill and I took a closer look at the first-half fantasy all-stars in our Fantasy Focus podcast. Crank it up and let the debate begin.

Podcasting pleasure

Herald colleague and podcasting fool Jason Dill and I are back with another Fantasy Focus baseball podcast for the month of June.

Click on the link to hear our take on some impact rookies (Michael Stanton, Stephen Strasburg, Jason Heyward); what to do with struggling stars (Carlos Pena, Wandy Rodriguez, Josh Beckett, Grady Sizemore), Kendry Morales; and fantasy's best pitcher so far in 2010 (surprise, it's not Tim Lincecum).

Also, listen closely for the souped-up intro by the mighty Metallica ...

The power of the podcast

Want some advice for your fantasy draft but too lazy to read? The Herald's mock draft podcast may be just what you're looking for.

Four Herald staff members. One microphone. The top 20 fantasy players for 2010. Consider it the "books on tape" version of my Top 50 rankings, with a few twists and a healthy debate about who belongs where.

Enjoy.

Talkin' fantasy (and more)

Go here to check out a recent podcast I did with a friend and colleague of mine, John Lembo, as we chat about Week 1 of the NFL from a fantasy perspective, with some other sports nuggets mixed in.

Mock draft podcast

I took part in a mock draft last week with some of my co-workers at the Herald as part of our 2009 fantasy football preview, and we recorded it in a podcast for your listening pleasure:



You can spend hours reading magazines and making lists as you prepare for your season, but it's not easy to predict how others in your league will approach the draft and what strategies will unfold. Hopefully our podcast, featuring myself and five other self-proclaimed fantasy nuts, will offer some insight into how the first round might unfold. Some interesting tidbits we saw in our mock draft: Two QBs and two WRs made the top 10 and LaDainian Tomlinson and DeAngelo Williams didn't.
