Devy Artillery (guest: Ray Garvin)

06/09/20 • 72 min

The 10th annual Scott Fish Bowl starts in about a month, and host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) opens the show by telling listeners how they can enter a contest to win a spot in the SFB. Then Ray Garvin (@RayGQue) of the Destination Devy Podcast and Dynasty League Football joins Pat to spread the good word about devy leagues and talk about what’s shaping up to be another phenomenal NFL Draft class for fantasy football in 2021. Could fast-rising Trey Lance rival Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields as a QB prospect? Who of Travis Etienne, Chuba Hubbard and Najee Harris is the favorite to be next year’s top-ranked RB? Is Ja’Marr Chase the undisputed No. 1 receiver in the class, or are there one or two better prospects from the Big Ten? And in what’s shaping up to be a watershed TE class, who’s the best of the bunch? Ray talks about his college football career at Chadron State, the culture shock of moving from Las Vegas to the Nebraska panhandle, what it was like to play with Danny Woodhead, and why he stopped wearing a smoke visor on his helmet. Ray also discusses a potentially fatal affliction for dynasty leaguers called RMD, and he and Pat toss around some thoughts on rookies CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, Jalen Reagor, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jonathan Taylor. Ray and Pat also drill down on some veterans, including Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, Preston Williams, Alexander Mattison, Benny Snell, Steven Sims Jr. and Dare Ogunbowale.

Why the hell are you drafting James White? (guest: Scott Barrett)

Joining host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) this week is Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB), who explains how he wound up as co-owner, director of analysis and lead DFS writer at the high-powered startup FantasyPoints.com. Scott then discusses his buzz-worthy “Upside Wins Championships” series – how his philosophies on the link between investing and fantasy football have changed over time, how he was inspired by Shawn Siegele’s famed Zero-RB article, and how the articles have already gotten him some backlash. Scott and Pat talk about whether median projections have any significant utility for fantasy football, then take a closer look at some of the high-upside players mentioned in Scott’s series, including Russell Wilson, Daniel Jones, Kenyan Drake, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Odell Beckham Jr., Calvin Ridley, Diontae Johnson, Rob Gronkowski and Gerald Everett. Scott sings the praises of his adopted hometown, Houston, and offers a Giants fan’s thoughts on whether Evan Engram is a good investment and which NYG wide receiver to target.

Terry’s Eyrie (guest: Derek Brown)

Joining host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) this week is Fantasy Black Book contributor and former Quant Edge writer Derek Brown (@DBro_FFB), who dropped by to talk about the pandemic life, the sneaky upside of the Vikings’ passing game (with or without a Dalvin Cook holdout), and what might happen if Joe Mixon and the Bengals have a contract impasse. Derek and Pat also discuss why the fourth round of fantasy drafts is looking like fertile ground for wide receivers, then have a brief conversation about the Scott Fish Bowl. As big-time Terry McLaurin enthusiasts, Derek and Pat offer thoughts on why they hold the second-year receiver in such high regard. Derek explains why Christian McCaffrey isn’t his top-ranked player this year, why he’s willing to take Kenyan Drake as early as 1.08 and why he’s fading Todd Gurley this year. Derek and Pat also discuss Cooper Kupp, Darynton Evans, Josh Kelley, Damien Williams, Drew Lock, Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki, and Derek closes the show by talking about his favorite TE sleeper.
