Why the hell are you drafting James White? (guest: Scott Barrett) - a podcast by The Football Girl

Joining host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) this week is Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB), who explains how he wound up as co-owner, director of analysis and lead DFS writer at the high-powered startup FantasyPoints.com. Scott then discusses his buzz-worthy “Upside Wins Championships” series – how his philosophies on the link between investing and fantasy football have changed over time, how he was inspired by Shawn Siegele’s famed Zero-RB article, and how the articles have already gotten him some backlash.

Scott and Pat talk about whether median projections have any significant utility for fantasy football, then take a closer look at some of the high-upside players mentioned in Scott’s series, including Russell Wilson, Daniel Jones, Kenyan Drake, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Odell Beckham Jr., Calvin Ridley, Diontae Johnson, Rob Gronkowski and Gerald Everett. Scott sings the praises of his adopted hometown, Houston, and offers a Giants fan’s thoughts on whether Evan Engram is a good investment and which NYG wide receiver to target.
