Old Man Squad Fantasy Basketball

Friday was, to no one's surprise, JAMMED with fantasy results. Jalen Duren and Cooper Flagg went down, Walker Kessler is amazing, and the panic meter on many players is headed hard in the up or down direction. Part two covers the late part of the slate with some west coast games, too.

There are 26 players that you counted on to put up some stats, and 26 players that have not done so. This is the comprehensive Dan Besbris list of early-season underperformers and how panicked you should be about their numbers so far! Part two takes us through the names that might already be cut-worthy if you need an open spot!

This is the comprehensive Dan Besbris list of early-season underperformers and how panicked you should be about their numbers so far! Part one covers the first half of our names, and mostly guys that we're not TOO scared about... yet.

In this episode of On Fire Fantasy, Jacob Dunne breaks down the absolute best weekend streaming targets to secure your Week 1 victory in H2H Points and Category leagues!

The Thunder shot terribly but won. Denver shot horribly and lost. Intriguing role players on both sides are dangerously close to making the early-season cut list. How much patience should we show them? Also, is Philadelphia amazing already or is this a mirage?

Week one is all about small sample sizes, but many folks find reasons to panic even when we tell them not to over and over. This episode is for all the calm managers, ready to cash in when others are losing their heads.

BIG WEDNESDAY is the best! The first one of the year is somehow even better! We had Ty Jerome posting the best line of the season! We had Dejounte Murray going off. We had some disappointments, too. And we had some sneaky pickups with rest of season appeal buried in the weeds for those willing to hunt. Part two covers the final five games, including some blowouts with legit pickups.

And we had some sneaky pickups with rest of season appeal buried in the weeds for those willing to hunt. Part one covers the first six games from Wednesday night.

One more time to begin the year, we're looking at the players that are being ADDED the most by the general fantasy public. Is it an overreaction to night one? Is it a streamer? Do we have some injury replacement players set to explode, now that the news has given us more info? Let's dive in!

THE SEASON HAS BEGUN! Paul George went completely nuts with the line of the night, but all eyes are on the players that underperformed. What should we do with Neemias Queta, Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Hartenstein, and more?

These 10 players were largely undrafted but managers are scooping them up like gold in the river. Is it wise, though? Should we play the waiting game? Are these guys streamers or values?

Winning the draft is one thing. Winning the SEASON is another. The grind begins tonight, and these FIVE ultimate fantasy tenets should always be followed if you want to take your team out of the gates quickly and set yourself up for success.

Welcome to the weekly OMS preview show with Matty G. Each week, Matty will take you through the week, and plan out how to attack. We get to it. G will take you through the schedule, the injuries, the adds, and how to plan your week to win.

Thought this might be fun to see. Is it? Who knows. Here are my head-to-head punt team(s) and roto well-rounded clubs after a weekend PACKED with drafts! Part two covers my four roto squads!

Draft season is ALMOST over. Not quite. Thunder Dan joins the program to discuss his waiver wire targets heading into week one, some of whom you can even draft, as well as early-season strategies, how to approach week one from an aggressive posture, and more!

This is it! The FINAL Besbris RANKS of 2026! We made a bunch of key adjustments since the first Buckets episode last week, so make sure to come with us on this speed round through the changes and dominate your draft one last time!

In this episode of On Fire Fantasy, Jacob Dunne breaks down the absolute best Week 1 fantasy basketball waiver wire streamers to target for H2H Points Leagues!

LAST UPDATE! With the board shifting, values moving and player projections changing, we needed to do a last update to the 1st/2nd round pairings guide. This one is shorter, at least!

Every show right now is the last of its kind... for this year! This is the Dan Besbris FINAL board on his absolute favorite names of the entire draft season!

Yahoo's FINAL board is out! The changes, this time at least, are more in the 50-150 range, so let's dive in and see where new values may have popped or been erased!

The preseason has completely changed the end of my draft board. Here is a fresh look at the 32 late picks I like, in the exact order I like them, and how I expect them to perform!

Want to learn how to build a team? That's what Adam does best! The PuntMaster (who, perhaps, should be called the BuildMaster instead) Adam Stock joins Dan to discuss 1st round decisions, pairing choices, how to think through punts, where categories are falling, and his top preseason winners and losers from the early, middle and late parts of drafts!

The preseason can hide issues, but it almost always reveals some truths! Here are Dan's 10 most important preseason notes that have dramatically changed his fantasy ranks for multiple key players.

Matty G is joined by special guest Dan Titus from @YahooFantasy right here on OMS to drop his 5 Musts, 5 Busts, and 5 "My Guys" and G throws in his and more to give you targets, traps and players they are loving in drafts right now.

Excluding key punt plays and injured guys, these are the 19 players that Dan believes will UNDERPERFORM their pre-season ranking.

I thought this might be fun. We're consolidating! Here are all 45 non-flier type winners on the fantasy board. We move through them at about 1 minute per player, so strap on that safety harness!

Our final review of the SAFEST winners on the board is hot now! These are the low-risk, low-to-medium reward types that you can easily stack on your fantasy team to get wins all the way through the draft. They're not exactly laden with upside, but none will kill your team and there's value in that, too!

Finally, part 3, weaving quickly through the final 40-50 names, sorting fliers, understanding strategy and how to use the cheat sheet. THE WHOPPER RETURNS in our longest ever solo host rankings episode of OMS - it's the Dan Besbris FULL Bucket List! We cover roughly 150 players, sorted into tiers/buckets, offer reasoning on every single one of them, work through draft strategy for maximizing names on our winner list, and so much more. It's an epic, so sit back, relax, and enjoy! Or just relax, maybe.

Here comes part 2, picking up in the early rounds, and continuing through the middle of the draft.

Do we think we moved the market? Hard to say, but this week's biggest ADP risers are right out of the OMS playbook. Are they still values even at the new number?

ADP numbers don't move nearly as much at this point in the year because there have simply been too many drafts. So even small shifts can actually mean more! Today, we'll look at 12 of the biggest DROPPERS in ADP this late in the game - some are still disasters, but some are moving into BIG time value territory!

In this episode of On Fire Fantasy, Jacob Dunne is joined by fantasy basketball expert Adam King (@Adamking91) to break down an expert-level 10-team Points League Industry Mock Draft!

I hate these shows because they only cover players who are LOSING value on the board. WOE IS US! But we need to cover them, because we can't just waltz into a draft and blindly take the same guys regardless of their ranking and draft slot. Let's check them out.

We've got FALLERS in the latest Yahoo ranking board adjustment, and MANY players are going from non-values to values. Some moved a bunch! Let's figure out which should be drafted in most leagues!

Read and react. That's what we do, and with Yahoo putting out BOARD FIVE, we needed to do one last full trip through the rankings. Here are my favorites and avoids in every round through the top-100, plus some bonus notes on punt strategies! Part two rolls from round 5 until the end, leaving us ready for some fliers as your next meal.

Read and react. That's what we do, and with Yahoo putting out BOARD FIVE, we needed to do one last full trip through the rankings. Here are my favorites and avoids in every round through the top-100, plus some bonus notes on punt strategies! Part one has rounds 1 through 4!

On this episode of THE TAKE, Matty G is joined by special guest Jacob Dunne from Fantrax and right here on OMS as Jacob goes round by round, identifying his favourite targets, potential steals, and the players offering the biggest upside at their current ADP. Then Matty goes speed demon and rips through his to give you over 25!!! top targets for your drafts.

Who are the players driving fantasy draft managers MAD?! These guys. Dan breaks down the 10 (plus 1) most confusing, talked-about, or polarizing names on the board and tells you whether to draft them, avoid them or just make a quiet "mm" noise as they whiz past your spot on the draft table.

Hopefully, this will finish the job. Barring a huge Yahoo ranking shift, with this show and final slide, you'll have a cheat sheet for your draft no matter where your pick falls. Here are Dan's favorite choices if you end up with selections in the 5-8 range, and throughout the snake draft thereafter.

They went and did it again, dagnabbit. Yahoo's new 5th board is the latest rankings sheet we need to attack, so here is your one stop shop with a pick in the 9-12 range. Hopefully, this show is all you'll need to smash your draft!

A big late winner can bring you a title! Here are 45 names that Dan likes going late in drafts, ranked by upside and value. And yes, to answer your question, there are 10-15 of them that are head and shoulders above the rest.

Yes, we've done these before. I know. I'm a little annoyed about it, too. But when the board moves, I want to make sure YOU all have my preferences in ONE quick show so you can dominate your draft. Here's the FRONT end remake.

These are my EIGHT favorite players on the board. No rules or stipulations. Doesn't have to be young or old. Doesn't need to be pre-hype or post-hype. Just the absolute best targets with massive upside and a bit of risk.

What's it like to draft against your OWN top players list? It's hard. But it's great practice, and gives us the heads up that we need to have MORE viable targets in each round. PLUS, what do you do if your favorites are off the board? Do you grab someone falling you didn't want or move to your next group of faves?

We have a LOT of work to do. Two recon mocks (this is the first), and three new TARGETS at every draft position. Here, we mock against some bots and some public players to see where our targets might land, or fall, with a few caveats.

What's the craziest fantasy league you've ever played in? It's not as insane as this one. Josh Lloyd and Dan Besbris join forces for this podcaster showdown in a 2-team, 94-category whack-job league where only the true king will prevail!

I absolutely hate it when ADP's are shooting up the board... unless it's someone I want my OPPONENT to take so my value can fall to me! Let's look at 16 names flying off draft sheets and determine if we should follow the current or swim against it and find the pot of gold!
