The Wizard of Odds (guest: Sean Koerner)
Host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) opens the show with a shout-out to ailing friend Mike Tagliere, then welcomes in Sean Koerner (@The_Oddsmaker) of The Action Network. Sean and Pat discuss where James Robinson should go in fantasy drafts now that Travis Etienne is out for the season, and whether Marquez Callaway should be a draft target after his tour-de-force performance in a preseason game against the Jaguars. Sean offers some thoughts on macro RB strategy, and then he and Pat dig into the upper tiers of the position. They agree that it’s hard to parse the running backs in the RB5-RB14 range, and they reveal the players they’re targeting and the player they’re avoiding in that range. Sean defines “frozen pond running backs” and names a few RBs who fall into that dangerous category. Keenan Allen and Terry McLaurin are popular draft targets for a lot of people, but Sean explains why they don’t fit his draft plans. Sean and Pat talk about Ja’Marr Chase and whether it’s right that his fantasy stock is plummeting. After some discussion about QB and TE strategy, Sean talks about how he became interested in betting odds and gambling, when he first began placing bets, and some of the weirdest things he’s ever wagered on. To close the show, Sean names some of his favorite late-round dart throws, some of the players he’s targeting in every draft, and some of the players he refuses to touch.
