Fantasy Football Is Simple - Draft Good Players on Good Teams

I want all of you to take a moment, close your eyes, and think of the best sporting event that you've ever attended. That instead of just sitting on your couch, watching on television, you actually went to the game. For me, I was in college, Steph Curry Davidson was playing the NCAA tournament against Georgetown in Raleigh. It was like Patrick Ewing Jr, all these like 6'11 guys versus Steph Curry and these 6'7 dudes. And I was like, I have to go see this. I have to go see the guy that is launching shots from half court, even if they have no chance to win. And guess what? They won. And it was so much better because I was actually there versus sitting at home. And you can be there in the action by using game time. College football is coming up, NFL preseason to watch your favorite rookies. It's all available here on game time. It's not just that. Like I am scrolling to see what is available this weekend in my area.
I can go see Hilary Duff if I want to or the dirty Govnas. I mean, whatever you want, it's here on game time. So get your friends together, get your tickets and tell them it's game time.

Over the years, you've heard me say that fantasy football is pretty simple. You just draft good players on good teams. And that makes sense. You know, when you zoom out, often the best players are on the best teams because they score the most points. But one key is correctly predicting which offenses are under projected by the markets and will outscore that expectation. And conversely, which offenses are over projected so those landmines can be avoided. And the perfect man for that show today to help us guide through all the coaching landscapes and how these teams are stacked up. It is Nate Tice, our co-worker here, Football 301 and Yahoo. Nate, it's August. How are you feeling?

**Nate Tice** (2:13)
I'm feeling great. I'm geared up finally. We actually have some practice clips to overanalyze.
I'm not doing so much of a full-on breakdown of QB footwork yet, but I am analyzing some other things. But now great to see you guys. You said guiding and also congratulations. Welcome aboard. Hello, teammates.

**Hayden** (2:31)
Thank you.

**Nate Tice** (2:32)
You say guiding. I feel like stumbling as I am through this intro is maybe more afterward, but still August. We'll straighten out by September.

**Hayden** (2:39)
I like how you said overanalyzing the practice clips. To me, I feel like I'm just kind of staying.
I'm letting the training camp come to me over the next couple of weeks before I start analyzing the stuff too much. Josh, quickly on your point, teams over projecting and under projecting. My takeaway is looking at the implied points real quick. Yeah. The highest team is at 26.6 projected points. The lowest team is at 18.4. I can guarantee the number one offense this year is way over 26.5 points. The worst team especially is not going to be at 18.4. So we can kind of take each polar opposites and go even further away than they're currently projected.

**Josh** (3:14)
Yeah. I think last year, after 17, the Rams scored, and they were number one scoring last year at 30 points per game. And then the Las Vegas Raiders were down at 14 points per game. So that really shows you the massive two touchdown difference between these two squads. Yep. All right. Let's dive into this. Hayden, before we get into this, we always bring up projected points. Where do these projected points come from?

**Hayden** (3:39)
It's just the betting market. You look at every single week, you take the averages. So from week one all the way to week 18, there's look ahead line, you're just taking the averages from that. And that's we have these teams one through 32 And then you'll see the ADPs over on Yahoo based off of the current depth charts that we're talking about. The idea is you can see where the ADPs are. How close are they lining up to the actual projected point? It doesn't have to be one to one all the way through. Some players just have a huge role, but there are some times where it just doesn't make sense that that guy's being drafted either too high or too low. So all the shows just kind of tying all that stuff together.
