The first episode of the TROLLTIDE Fantasy Network podcast for the 2021 season is available now. In this episode we are looking at the DSL before the startup draft, talking about rule changes, all of the draft pick trading, and who has positioned themselves to take home the championship.
The podcast is available on Spotify (as embedded above) and Anchor. If you’d like to share your thoughts or hot takes, you can leave us a voice message that we can use in the next episode by navigating to the podcast’s Anchor homepage (here) and using the “Message” function.
The next episode will be recorded at some point shortly after the DSL startup draft has concluded.
I’m going to go ahead and share some of the analysis and information that fed into our discussion about all of the draft pick trading that has taken place. Maybe this will help you identify the people you can target to try to make your moves in these last few days leading up to the draft or during the draft.

Additionally, I’m always looking to extend my block of picks right in front of Bane in the second round, so hit me up.
CJ Anderson is still trash.
Troll tide, fellers.
