Fried Rosters

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 17 Sunday slate -- the last of the regular season. The guys discuss which games come with playoff implications, and where to find value plays in the games that don't. Shae's bold prediction is the insufferable Bortles/Robinson stack, while Ben banks on the idea of a roster containing all the Kansas City guys. Is David Johnson still a favorite? Can we even avoid paying up for tight end this week? Is Alex Smith your mediocre savior. Here's to closing out the season with a bang (and hopefully a buck, too).

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 16 Christmas Eve Saturday daily fantasy slate, including the way Jordan Howard could disrespect the Redskins, how riding TY Hilton for a second consecutive week is a good idea, and why a late-season hail mary for Allen Robinson is an okay move. Ben gets weird with a theory of rostering three different players from a single game, while Shae allows his season-long fantasy roster to (possibly) influence how much he loves guys like Julio Jones and Ty Montgomery around the holidays. It's the home stretch of the NFL season and we're all lookin' to make some cash! Have a listen, give the gift of subscribing to the show. 

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 15 Sunday daily fantasy slate, including why almost any quarterback is a viable option so long as their name doesn't start with Brock. The guys also talk about the possibility of paying up for one backfield spot and offsetting the cost by way of a cheap RB2. And with the receiver position being a tough nut to crack, the slightly decent podcasting duo tries to pluck value where they can. Shae is sure to include his gut-hunch on TY Hilton, while Ben continues to ride the Gravy Gresham train. It's the home stretch of the regular season and things are looking both fun and dismal, depending on who you ask. 

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 14 Sunday slate, which has tons of games and even more viable options at quarterback. The guys continue to ride the David Johnson machine for the umpeenth week in a row, Shae gushes over a certain NFC East quarterback, and Ben may have found a new favorite tight end target in Pittsburgh. There's also a brief mention of how sad the situation is for guys like DeAndre Hopkins and Allen Robinson, but it's nowhere near as angering as Jeff Fisher's miraculous ability to hold a job despite being very bad at it. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

After taking last week off for the Thanksgiving holiday, Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) get back to discussing the NFL Week 13 daily fantasy Sunday slate. Their love for David Johnson doesn't fade this week, nor does their odd fascination with Theo Riddick (who's apparently a friend of the show). Ben offers to get weird with Jermaine Gresham -- while simultaneously reminding everyone that Jermaine Gresham is still around -- and Shae heavily flirts with the idea of rolling with TyGOD Taylor this week as a top bargain option at quarterback. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) talk over the NFL Sunday Week 11 DFS slate as they attempt to rebound following a disappointing Week 10. Ben (possibly) takes a leap off the deep end by way of his love for Colin Kaepernick this week, while Shae is once again deciding to die on the hill of Kirk Cousins. The men continue their positive rants for Ben's secret lover (spoiler: it's David Johnson) and how finding a good balance between studs and chalk this week is the key to Sunday success. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) talk over the NFL Sunday Week 10 DFS slate while also preparing for Ben to enter his $5 MILLION tournament. The guys stick with a basic strategy of building off a chalky backfield with cheap passers and mid-level wide receivers. Is there any possible way to fade Jay Ajayi? Are we allowed to even consider Case Keenum? How much of a steal is Jordan Matthews. It's all inside. 

Shae (@ShaeCronin) flies solo this week to breakdown the NFL Week 9 daily fantasy slate while Ben (@BStrumpf10) is out in Vegas passed out in a ditch four blocks off the strip. As he mows through the slate as quickly as possible, Shae throws out some love for Lance Kendricks, gets a little creative with quarterback options like Sam Bradford and Marcus Mariota, and doesn't forget to talk about what top-tier guys are worth paying up for. This episode is lonely and disgusting. You're gonna love it. 

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss their continued love of guys like David Johnson and Mike Evans as they prepare to tackle Sunday's Week 8 NFL DFS slate. Ben also throws out a couple cheap tight end names to keep in mind come roster-building time, and Shae is back talking trendy slot receivers like Julian Edelman, Randall Cobb, and T.Y. Hilton. The guys also collectively decide that this week marks the second in a row where there's an option at quarterback that's too good to be true. All hail, Jameis. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts. We encourage you to support the show by leaving reviews and subscribing.

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss their dying love for Kirk Cousins for NFL Week 7 and how picking the correct pieces of the Washington and New Orleans wide receiver corps could lead to big gains. Ben tries to talk Shae off of James White despite his juicy matchup, but does so with some sort of strategy to back it up. Meanwhile, Shae predicts at least 16 targets for Mike Evans and the guys get giddy about all the money you can save with this week's slate. Later in the episode, Shae and Ben answer questions including top bargain running backs, favorite QB/WR stacks, the best Halloween candy, and why the pumpkin spice craze isn't actually the worst thing ever. You can find the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, SoundCloud, and by visiting FriedRosters.com. 

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) gab about who they like for the NFL Week 6 Sunday fantasy slate over at DraftKings. Their mutual love for Dak Prescott on the road in Lambeau is quite possibly a bit much, and their compiled list of common running back names jives like a game of Madden. Shae throws together a trio of slot receivers that he says could be your safest group this week, while Ben doesn't waste any time getting back on board with Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. in tournament formats. A special shoutout to Ben, by the way, who took time out of his Yom Kippur holiday to talk fantasy football. Or, as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson would say, "blood, sweat, and respect." It's all inside. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, SoundCloud, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BenStrumpf10) talk about their favorite DFS plays for the NFL Week 5 slate, including their continued love for Philip Rivers, but perhaps an even larger crush on Captain Kirk Cousins for his upcoming Beltway trip to Baltimore. Things also get a little rich when the guys talk about pairing Antonio Brown with Odell Beckham Jr. and other top-tier wideouts in both cash and tourney lineups. Elderly statesmen like Steve Smith Sr. and Frank Gore make cameo appearances as valuable options, too! For the love of everything Jerick McKinnon, you gotta catch this episode!Be sure to send any and all questions or comments, fantasy or otherwise, to @FriedRosters.

Shae and Ben cram in an episode on Saturday morning to talk NFL Week 4. In addition to talking about the cheap running backs on Sunday's slate, the guys also go through a decent list of quarterbacks not named Cam Newton who could make for a solid return on a small investment. DeAndre Hopkins is a topic of discussion thanks to his career owning of the Tennessee Titans, Ben continues his love affair with David Johnson and C.J, Anderson, and the guys try to decide if the Lions/Bears game is in fact fantasy gold, or rather just the fake stuff. 

Shae and Ben discuss their love for Jordy Nelson, why Sterling Shepard is the best wide receiver play on his team this week, and Shae adds in his love for a predicted Dolphins victory that will not only be lopsided, but also advantageous for building your cash game lineups. Also in this episode, Ben breifly mentions Matt Ryan as a great quarterback and surprisingly no laughter ensues. And as a quick side note, the guys may have referred to Odell Beckham Jr. as 'ODB' instead of 'OBJ' on multiple occasions, and while 'ODB' does technically still work as a nickname for the Giants superstar, it was a nice reminder of the man that was. RIP, (the real) ODB. Be sure to visit FriedRosters.com and tweet your questions about anything football or otherwise to @FriedRosters. 

IT'S THE FIRST EPISODE EVER! Week 2 of the 2016 NFL season provides some pretty nice matchups to roll into your cash game lineups this Sunday. Shae and Ben hone in on which guys they like, the simple task of selecting your quarterback, which tight ends are carrying all kinds of value, why splurging on the Seattle defense is smart, plus a miniature rant from Shae about the Redskins' latest meltdown on national television.  Join us on the Fried Rosters maiden voyage and we'll love you forever.
