Summary: <br> Football Diehards podcast host Mike Dempsey joins Matt Waldman's RSP Cast for a conversation about negotiating trades in dynasty leagues. <br> You may be more familiar with Mike Dempsey as a radio host for the Football Diehards show Sirius XM Fantasy and the gameday co-host for the Jaguars' Radio Network, but he's also a helluva a fantasy GM.  I am in a 32-team, full IDP dynasty league and I'm not sure there is a better trade negotiator that I have seen than Mike, who has been one of the dominant teams.<br> <br> Mike was gracious enough to join me for a conversation about the art of the fantasy deal:<br> <br> * Why trading is a pivotal strategic tool for his startup drafts in dynasty leagues.<br> * Why he offers dozens of deals — and often 4-5 variations of a deal to the same owner simultaneously — in his leagues.<br> * Why drafting a player someone else wanted can be the best time to trade away that player.<br> * Positions that Mike and Matt feel are foundational anchors for most IDP dynasty formats.<br> * Understanding the dynamics of "loose" and "tight" negotiators.<br> * Owning the playoffs versus owning future drafts.<br> <br> Check out the RSP Cast for this and more from Mike and me below.<br> <br> And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022<a href="http://www.mattwaldman.com/"> Rookie Scouting Portfolio</a> for $21.95. <br> <br> Matt’s new <a href="https://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2020/12/15/new-product-matt-waldmans-rsp-dynasty-rankings-two-year-projection-package/">RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package</a> is available for $24.95<br> <br> If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  <br> <br> If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  <br> <br> Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse of children.
