Episode 73: Play-Calling with Anthony Staggs
Host Greg Smith (@gregsauce) welcomes Anthony Staggs (@PyroStag), and the show kicks off with a brief background of Anthony's experience with indoor football, then some crystal ball work on quarterbacks who might surprisingly be on the hot seat this year.

Sponsored by the Fan Controlled Football League
Host Greg Smith (@gregsauce) welcomes Sean Slavin (@Slavin22), and they kick off the show with a comparison of Chad Henne to Patrick Mahomes using Sean's TANY/A metric (2:27). News flash! It's not a fair comparison! Next, your hosts review Sean's recent series of TANY/A articles here at TwoQBs (7:12). After explaining the meaning of his stat, Sean profiles some surprising TANY/A standouts from the past (15:20), then outlines the strengths and weaknesses of 2018's top rookie quarterbacks within his model's metrics (18:30). Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Mason Rudolph, Josh Rosen, and Josh Allen all figure prominently into the discussion.
Later, Greg is joined by Ray Austin (@rayaustin36), co-founder and commissioner of the Fan Controlled Football League, and former player in the NFL and XFL (49:23). Ray retells the origins of the FCFL, stumps for Lamar Jackson as a draft prospect, dreams of Mike Vick under center in 7-on-7, and talks about how his experience around football shapes his player evaluations.

Episode 70: Post-Combine with Anthony Amico
Sponsored by the Fan Controlled Football League
Host Greg Smith (@gregsauce) welcomes Anthony Amico (@amicsta) of RotoViz and TwoQBs to catch up on happenings at the NFL Combine and other news from the fantasy world. They kick off the show with a discussion of overlap between fantasy football and fantasy baseball (1:21), then they check in on the trade of Tyrod Taylor to the Cleveland Browns (9:15). The balance of the episode is largely geared toward incoming rookies, starting with a comparison of 2QB rookie draft ADP to Anthony's rookie quarterback rankings (15:16). Anthony explains why Baker Mayfield's hand size shouldn't be a concern, and he makes the case for Lamar Jackson to rank higher than Mayfield in one-quarterback formats. Diving a little deeper, your hosts examine Logan Woodside and Quinton Flowers, then talk more generally about how to find value at the QB position in rookie drafts. The show closes out with non-quarterback rookie analysis (35:29), including looks at Calvin Ridley, Mike Gesicki, Royce Freeman, Ken Ballage, and D.J. Moore, plus discussion of veteran tight ends to target within the context of a poor rookie class at the position.

Episode 68: 2018 Offseason Kickoff with Sal Stefanile
Host Greg Smith (@gregsauce) welcomes TwoQBs.com co-founder Salvatore Stefanile (@2QBFFB) back to the show to get the podcast fired up for the 2018 offseason. They spend the first portion of the show discussing Sal's decision to not play fantasy football last year, and where he stands today. Full disclosure, the conversation steers away from football to real-life issues for a time. Around the 12-minute mark, the focus comes back to fantasy with an examination of the NFL's most quarterback-needy teams, including Minnesota, Denver, Arizona, Cleveland, and Buffalo. Your hosts discuss how free agent and rookie passers might fit into those teams plans, as well as more speculative destinations like the Dolphins, Jaguars, Giants, Ravens, and Bengals. From Case Keenum to Joel Stave, and Kirk Cousins to Geno Smith, Greg and Sal lay out all sorts of scenarios that could shake up the two-quarterback fantasy landscape.
