Episode 08 - This Is Not Amari Cooper, (and nor is it Luke Vosters)
<p>Welcome to Fantasy Football, in Theory, your only podcast devoted to fantasy football strategy in the abstract.<br /> <br /> <br /> It is said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We are told that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.<br /> <br /> <br /> But the past and the future are temporally distinct, and one is not the other. So how are lessons to be drawn? This is the paradox at the heart of any efforts to let our knowledge of the past shape our expectations for the future.</p> <p><br /> The introduction to today's episode is adapted from an essay I wrote in 2017 titled This Is Not Amari Cooper. If you'd like to read the essay in its original form, complete with pictures that are not the things they represent (but which are similar in structure, which accounts for their usefulness), you can find it here: <a href= "https://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/article.php?article=HarstadFiT8"> https://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/article.php?article=HarstadFiT8</a></p> <p><br /> If you want to view Luke's projection system and perhaps incorporate it into your own personal process, it's freely available here: <a href= "http://lukevosters.com/">http://lukevosters.com/</a><br /> <br /></p> <p>If you enjoy my work, you can find it exclusively at <a href= "http://www.footballguys.com/">www.footballguys.com</a>. An archive of links to past articles of mine is also available at my blog, <a href= "http://dynastytheory.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-link-to-all-my-writings.html">http://dynastytheory.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-link-to-all-my-writings.html</a>.<br /> <br /></p> <p>If you have any other questions or comments, or you'd like to submit a topic for a future show, I can be reached via email at <a href= "mailto:FantasyInTheory@Gmail.com,">FantasyInTheory@Gmail.com,</a> or on Twitter at @AdamHarstad.</p> <p><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> <br /> Thanks, as always, for listening!</span></p>

Episode 07 - O, What Tangled Webs We Weave
<p>Welcome to Fantasy Football, in Theory, your only podcast devoted to fantasy football strategy in the abstract.<br /> <br /></p> <p>What if everything we thought we knew about football was wrong? What if the all-time greats and the all-time goods and all-time okays were really just an indecipherable mess distinguished primarily by chance, a series of coins that could have just as easily landed on the other side (if they were even destined to be flipped at all)?<br /> <br /> <br /> What if the universe— to quote Fantasy Football, in Theory favorite J.B.S. Haldane— is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we <span style= "text-decoration: underline;">can</span> suppose.<br /> <br /> <br /> Today I talk about how everything we see is a product of everything we don't see.<br /> <br /> <br /> If you want to read more about the history of the West Coast Offense and its roots in Cincinnati, I highly recommend this piece by Chris Wesseling of NFL.com: <a href= "https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/the-ohio-river-offense">https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/the-ohio-river-offense</a><br /> <br /></p> <p>If you enjoy my work, you can find it exclusively at <a href= "http://www.footballguys.com/">www.footballguys.com</a>.

Episode 06 - The People's Podcast, featuring Bob Mozitis
<p>Welcome to Fantasy Football, in Theory, your only podcast devoted to fantasy football strategy in the abstract.</p> <p> </p> <p>Who we choose to speak to shapes not only what we come to believe, but even the manner in which we think about things. Most fantasy football podcasts feature people within the fantasy football industry speaking with other industry insiders, which is a useful way to sharpen our thoughts and feelings about fantasy football.</p> <p> </p> <p>But what does this approach miss? Twitter-friend Bob Mozitis (@briks42) was kind enough to play guinea pig as I tried to find out.</p> <p> </p> <p>Content referenced during this episode includes:</p> <p>My historical fantasy value spreadsheets for<br /> QBs: <a href= "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NX1RHFYpgmAIojpczvNW2aK7dgLC30ISeKAKSERhHdM/edit?usp=sharing"> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NX1RHFYpgmAIojpczvNW2aK7dgLC30ISeKAKSERhHdM/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>RBs: <a href= "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-c4JkLxBhGak6GxorS__wm34AOYhRNPH8ZX_u7vHT6M/edit?usp=sharing"> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-c4JkLxBhGak6GxorS__wm34AOYhRNPH8ZX_u7vHT6M/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>WRs: <a href= "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tReS4w10vlB2RAQsAq7PaGLK2iwrhQ1EzMujfyQiBCM/edit?usp=sharing"> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tReS4w10vlB2RAQsAq7PaGLK2iwrhQ1EzMujfyQiBCM/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>TEs: <a href= "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O3q98uDGyhehlTkGtSsthLGtF6AOei1Alcq872jJWWk/edit?usp=sharing"> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O3q98uDGyhehlTkGtSsthLGtF6AOei1Alcq872jJWWk/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> <p>(If you scroll right on the main page, you'll find quick filters to sort by production though a specific age or year of experience, at a specific age or year of experience, or after a specific age or year of experience.)</p> <p> </p> <p>If you enjoy my work, you can find it exclusively at <a href= "http://www.footballguys.com/">www.footballguys.com</a>.
