Old Man Squad Fantasy Basketball

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!

This is the BEST time. New ADP targets surface every week or two and we found as many as NINETEEN to cover on today's show. Players sliding that shouldn't be is the best way to find new values even as the board begins to crystallize in October. Here's who they are.

The bust list returns! Not massively different, but we try to do an update every month or so, and we've got a couple new names and removed a couple, as well. Plus, what's the difference between a BUST and just an underperformer?

GOOD HEAVENS the board has shifted! We had to redo one of favorites, and there VERY few holdovers. That's good for content, but bad for fantasy prep since we need to go back to the drawing board and make sure we can get favorites in every round! Part two covers round 5 through the end of the pre-fliers zone!

Part one moves us from the top of the board through the end of the 4th round!

Host of the Young Man Squad Podcast and RotoWorld stud Noah Rubin brings an almost completely fresh batch of names to the show as we begin to near the end of our My Dudes series. Do you like these young studs? How do you feel about these injury bounceback names?

Just when you thought you knew the rankings front to back, they go and change AGAIN! Let's DEEP DIVE the top 26 players on the 4th Yahoo Rankings Board to find all the best pairs, punts, values, busts and more! Part 2 covers the second round and a few bonus names to begin the 3rd.

Just when you thought you knew the rankings front to back, they go and change AGAIN! Let's DEEP DIVE the top 26 players on the 4th Yahoo Rankings Board to find all the best pairs, punts, values, busts and more! Part 1 covers the first round!

What even is a “Breakout”- For our purposes, we’ll classify it as significant jumping over expectation by a player that has NOT had a truly massive season in the past. And today, we have SIX such players that you could even stack on one fantasy team for maximum gains!

Matty G is joined by fellow @OldManSquad analyst and legend Adam King to open up the OMS 2026-27 Fantasy Basketball Watch List, with the cherry on top being Damian Lillard.

Having a late pick this year is actually pretty rad. You can grab all the key winners that fall to you, plus amazing values at the front end of the next round. Are there any tricky spots, though? Here, Dan gives you all his best value plays that typically are available where you'll be making your pick in a snake draft.

Taking all of our knowledge of the tail end of the draft slot database, we went ahead and fired up a REAL MOCK where Dan tried to build out a powerhouse team from pick 12. Did he succeed?

It's like Christmas in September! The 3rd Yahoo Rank Board arrived and more than 50 players DROPPED in the rankings... many of whom are now ABSURD steals that we need to find a way to nab in fantasy drafts! Part two focuses on most of the key moves among higher profile players!

It's like Christmas in September! The 3rd Yahoo Rank Board arrived and more than 50 players DROPPED in the rankings... many of whom are now ABSURD steals that we need to find a way to nab in fantasy drafts! Part one takes us through most of the massive moves of the later guys... though there are some big names mixed in!

The new Yahoo rankings have shifted players DRAMATICALLY. Today, we analyze the most important RISERS on the board. Who is still a value? Who do we need to chase for the hype? Who is now way too expensive?

Not many podcasts can bring you laughs AND winners, but this one sure can! Our longtime pal Mike Barner joins Dan on the show with his four absolute favorites to nab on draft night. Some easy winners; some upside shots; but always fun!

YOU’RE ON THE CLOCK. Two players are sitting in your queue. Similar ADP. You’re interested in BOTH. But you only get one. Who are you taking? Matty G is joined by Adam Stock from Elite Fantasy Basketball (https://elitefantasybasketball.com) for MUST DRAFT: ADP BATTLES.

We move into the LATE PICK zone, now! Where are all of our favorites going in this range, and how many of them can we potentially nab? The best way to start the process is to do a RECON mock and scout the board as we prepare to crush with one of the last picks.

Alright friends. We did a recon mock to figure out where our favorite guys are going near the middle of each round. We did a real mock where I tried to get my hands on a few. And now, the episode that boils it all down to a few slides, and you can follow my board here to get some great values with a pick in the center of the draft.

I don't care what you say, this is still the toughest spot to draft from in 2026. The middle of the rounds have all sorts of tricky, stick moments, and today we try to target some great names from the likely player pool to see if our prep and strategy are paying off or if we need to make tweaks.

Having a pick in the middle of the draft still stinks, but does the new Yahoo board create any surprise pockets of value? Can we use a RECON mock to plan out our general round by round strategy without having a top guy?

This is the culmination of mock drafting from the #1 pick multiple times, learning the patterns, and determining who will be available to you at each round. Let's put it all together and draft some studs!

We did a recon mock from an early slot yesterday and learned a ton about what players are likely to be available at our picks. Today, we put that knowledge into action by attempting to build a team of great upside (and maybe no blocks) using a Nikola Jokic build from the first pick!

Adam King always has the goods! Today, our fellow Old Man Squad host has 7 of his top targets for this coming fantasy campaign, including a few names being slept on due to lower scoring, a late flier with upside, dudes with defensive chops, and more!

Want to draft like the top expert in the field? OF COURSE YOU DO! Josh Lloyd joins the show to break down how to interpret offseason rules adjustments, 1st and 2nd round draft strategy, how to handle the middle-rounds, and upside hunting late in this ultimate head-to-head primer edition of the show!

The new Yahoo board has completely changed draft prep, and the best way to get ready for a real draft is to do a fake one! Here is our RECON MOCK from an early draft position - let's see what targets are available (typically) when we have a pick near the front four.

Thunder Dan's rankings, in all their glory! On this 2-part episode of OMSFB, Thunder Dan Palyo joins the usual Dan (Besbris) with his FULL top-100, including those he's targeting, fades, projections, and sneaky plays. This is PART TWO, with tons of late targets, possible busts, and strategic planning!
