Welcome to the Fantasy Den: Sam and Kiarn are with you for the Breaking the Mold mini-series as it wraps up.

In the final episode of our Breaking the Mold series, we take a deep dive into one of fantasy football’s most unique and strategic formats: the Franchise Frenzy League. Sam breaks down how the format works, from drafting NFL franchise shares before the player draft to the tactics involved in locking down entire teams or battling other managers for access to key fantasy assets. It’s a format that completely changes how you value players, teams and draft position, creating some truly wild draft boards and league dynamics.

Joined by Kiarn, the pair discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different NFL franchises heading into the 2026 fantasy season, debating which teams offer the best fantasy value and which could become traps for unsuspecting managers. Using examples from previous Franchise Frenzy leagues, they explore how different strategies have succeeded, why monopolising teams isn’t always the winning formula, and how injuries and roster depth can completely reshape a season.

The episode also wraps up the Breaking the Mold offseason series and looks ahead to the return of regular fantasy content, with positional power rankings and season previews on the horizon. Whether you're looking for a fresh league format to try with friends or simply want to gain an edge for the upcoming fantasy football season, this episode is packed with strategy, discussion and plenty of draft-day insight.

If you're looking to try a new fantasy football format this season or simply want to improve your approach to guillotine leagues, this episode has you covered.
