Caleb Williams Will Soon Be the Overall 1.01: Don’t Miss on Him Now as the Rookie 1.01
Shawn Siegele
April 24, 2024
On a recent episode of Ship Chasing, we ended up joking about both multiple universes and my contention that the battle for rookie 1.01 went six players deep. Pat and Pete suggested that I split myself into six individual Shawns and make the case for each. This is that series. And it’s just in time to help you calibrate expectations before the 2024 NFL draft…....
Bo Nix Is the QB Teams Should Be Fighting Over
Shawn Siegele
April 17, 2024
Shawn Siegele explains why the loaded 2024 quarterback class could feature a consolation prize that pays off in a huge way and at a fraction of the price.

Is This 2024 Draft Slider About to Follow in Terry McLaurin’s Footsteps?
Shawn Siegele
April 11, 2024
Shawn Siegele begins the 2024 draft prospects sleeper series with an intriguing wide receiver who goes late in pre-draft best ball contests. Terry McLaurin burst onto the NFL stage as a rookie. During the 2019 season he flashed serious vertical ability, and while he’s never fully emerged as a star — perhaps due to a series of poor quarterbacks pulling the trigger — McLaurin has…...
What Will the First 2 Rounds of Superflex Rookie Drafts Look Like in 2024?
Shawn Siegele

The Gauntlet Returns: How to Navigate Underdog’s Divisional Round ADP
Shawn Siegele
January 18, 2024
Shawn Siegele explores the nuances of building Underdog playoff rosters now that we’re down to eight teams as we enter the Divisional Round.

As Colm and I broke down on Overtime yesterday, the initial wave of playoff games followed our expected script but…...

Shawn Siegele dives deep into the RotoViz tools and presents his game plan for attacking the 2024 FFPC Playoff contest. Perhaps no fantasy game is quite as fun to enter, discuss, and debate as the FFPC Playoff contest. You get to choose your own players without interference from other drafters, eliminating every excuse. You can win $500,000 in the course of a month instead of…...

Shawn Siegele
December 27, 2023
Shawn Siegele breaks down the biggest usage takeaways from Week 16 and looks ahead to all of the key matchups in the fantasy finals.

Shawn Siegele looks at some Saturday options for loading your Underdog playoff portfolio with the next big movers ahead of Week 16’s Sunday action.

The Fantasy Playoffs Arrive and Everything Is Intense and Immediate
Shawn Siegele
December 18, 2023
“Life is a gamble, at terrible odds. If it were a bet you wouldn’t take it.” ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead Whew! Nothing highlights the agony and the ecstasy of fantasy football quite like a high-scoring playoff week where healthy first-round picks score anywhere from 41 to 0.4, where Josh Allen completes seven passes but Baker Mayfield throws for 381 and 4, where Jaylen…...
A Few Thoughts on Underdog Playoff Tactics and Why You Might Draft Your Best Team Today
Shawn Siegele
December 16, 2023
Shawn Siegele breaks down the Underdog playoff format and gives his early take on the teams and players to target. When it comes to drafting, there’s no more enticing and addictive format than Underdog’s Gauntlet ($25), which also comes in Mitten pricing ($5). The playoff contests are six-team, 10-round best-ball drafts that start 1-QB, 1-RB, 2-WR/TE, 1 Flex, and employ Underdog’s half-ppr scoring. Our plan…...

Zero RB Universe: Week 14 – Chuba Hubbard Emerges, But Two of Our Favorites Go Down Early
Shawn Siegele
December 6, 2023
Well, that didn’t last long. It took Joe Mixon only a handful of snaps to blow by the 12-point threshold and send our Main Event squad to defeat. Mixon’s well-rounded effort produced easily his best game of the season. He managed the EP double-double, generated 5.7 total FPOE, and impressed with four evaded tackles on his six receptions. Mixon led the position group in both…...
