There was a plethora of topics to discuss on the latest ‘Fantasy Roundup’ episode with explosive NFL moves being made and this week being one of the most common for fantasy baseball drafts.
Spencer ‘the Guru’ Urquhart and Gabe Henderson kicked off the show by breaking down some of the most recent and impactful NFL moves involving relevant fantasy players. The discussions included Jamaal Williams signing with the New Orleans Saints, Adam Thielen joining the Carolina Panthers and Brandin Cooks being traded to the Dallas Cowboys.
The hosts then discussed Urquhart’s top fantasy baseball individual rankings and broke down all of the latest news from around the MLB. They also answered various questions about how to approach fantasy baseball drafts from a positional standpoint.
Urquhart and Henderson agreed that starting pitchers aren’t as valuable as they’re made out to be. There are positions that should be prioritized because of the scarce elite depth.
However, the panel agreed that positional scarcity should not force your hand. Selecting the best player available in the first five to 10 rounds is still the way to go, especially if those around you tend to reach on certain positions early on.
The show concluded with Urquhart and Henderson’s rants about drafting injury-prone players in fantasy sports and World Baseball Classic haters.
