Sam and Kendall tackle all of it with actionable 2026 fantasy football draft strategy, including:
• Finding draft-day values at every stage of your draft
• Identifying fantasy football sleepers and breakout candidates
• Using ADP to uncover players who could outperform expectations
• Building the right roster around elite early-round players
• How draft position impacts your overall lineup construction
• NFL offenses that could produce unexpected fantasy stars
• The traits that can help identify the next fantasy football breakout

8/18/26 - PPR Draft Strategy: How to Build Your Fantasy Football Team
Episode 44
Show notes
How should you approach a PPR fantasy football draft? Sam Holt and Derek Tate break down the best ways to construct a winning roster and determine when to prioritize RBs, WRs, QB, TE, defense, and kicker.
In a PPR league, should fantasy managers prioritize elite pass-catching RBs like Bijan Robinson, and look at target-hog WRs like Chris Olave in Rounds 2 and 3? And where do players like Derrick Henry and Quinshon Judkins fit into a PPR draft strategy despite offering less receiving production?
Sam and Derek also tackle the biggest draft-day decisions, including Hero RB vs. Robust RB approaches, WR-heavy builds, quarterback and tight end draft timing, and the opportunity cost of taking an elite QB or TE early. Plus, they discuss how late you should wait on your defense and kicker.
Whether you're preparing for a 2026 fantasy football draft, looking for PPR draft advice, or trying to improve your overall roster construction, this episode of Women of Fantasy Football's Sideline Banter provides actionable strategies to help you draft with confidence.

8/11/26 - Hero RB, Zero RB or Robust RB? Building Your Fantasy RB Room
Episode 43
Show notes
How should you build your running back room in fantasy football? For years, Zero RB was one of the most popular draft strategies: fade running backs early, load up on elite wide receivers, and chase RB value and upside later in the draft.
But has the fantasy football landscape changed?
On this episode of Sideline Banter, Sam Holt and Derek Tate break down the biggest running back draft strategies heading into the 2026 fantasy football season. Is Hero RB the best of both worlds, allowing you to secure an elite RB early before focusing on other positions? Should you go Robust RB and load up on running backs in the early rounds? Or is Zero RB still the optimal way to build a championship roster?
Sam and Derek discuss RB draft strategy, roster construction, positional value, early-round running backs, late-round RB upside, and how to build a running back room capable of carrying your fantasy team throughout the season.
If you're preparing for your 2026 fantasy football draft, this episode will help you determine which RB strategy best fits your league, draft position, and overall roster-building approach.

7/7/26 - 2026 Fantasy Football WR Rankings Tiers: Who Belongs in Each Tier?
Episode 40
Show notes
Not all fantasy football wide receivers should be ranked one through fifty. The smartest fantasy managers build their draft boards using tiers, making it easier to identify value, avoid positional runs, and capitalize when players fall below their expected draft range.
On this episode of Women of Fantasy Football: Sideline Banter, hosts Sam Holt and Derek Tate break down their 2026 Fantasy Football WR Rankings by tiers, discussing which receivers deserve elite status and where the biggest drop-offs occur.
Has Jaxon Smith-Njigba done enough after his breakout campaign to join the Tier 1 elite? Can Malik Nabers return to his rookie-year production after missing significant time with a torn ACL? Plus, we identify our favorite early-round anchors, mid-round values, late-round sleepers, and players we're willing to fade at their current ADP.
Whether you're preparing for a redraft league, best ball tournament, or simply updating your fantasy football rankings, this episode will help you build a stronger draft strategy before your league mates do.
