The Margins is a dynasty fantasy football podcast that borrows from physics, mathematics, and ecology to build theory-driven strategy. Not who to start — how to rethink roster construction, player valuation, and finding edges others miss. Dynasty rewards patience, systems thinking, and the willingness to look where others aren't. Hosted by @FFTommyB.
A panel of dynasty experts break down the current landscape and forecast the next 12 months. Apologies for the audio quality on my end and a sincere thank you to Koopa, Zac, Cam, and Scott!
