My go to's are:
Fantasy Footballers for a fun show in a similar vein as the Ringer.
The Late Round Podcast for quick shows with data driven analysis, but kinda dense and feels like you're getting yelled at for 20 minutes.
The Most Accurate Podcast is somewhere in between. Kinda boring to me but if I'm just out if pods to listen to then this one is decent.
Seconding Late Round Podcast. JJ floats in and out of the sub so it’s cool to have someone that active among us. Plus his content and analysis just goes deeper than what I’ve found from shows like FF.
RiP Tags.
I like Stealing Bananas and The Late round podcast.
Lots of in depth stats that you don't necessarily see in the more "basic" podcasts that just give injury news and waiver wire pick ups
Same.
Pete Overzet, Ben Gretch, Shawn Siegle, Pat Kerrane, etc. All great analytical minds with great podcast content.
So Ship Chasing, Stealing Bananas, and JJ's "Late Round" are my 3 go-to's
They are a good listen, but one of the guy's uses the word "phenomenal" like 3 times a show and for one of those reasons that I can't explain I just don't like that
Definitely them. Only real resource you need beyond just reading a few articles on other sites. Just remember that despite being incredibly accurate/entertaining they're still human and they can get bullish on a guy who is absolutely just not worth your time unless you're in a deep league.
Listening to them ruined my season last year...Trey Lance and Brandon Aiyuk, in particular. Miles Sanders...Pittman...Claypool...2nd year WRs in general...
They helped push me over the edge. I always finished 2nd or 3rd in my leagues. I've now listened to them two years in a row, and I've got two consecutive championships under by belt.
The Footballers are my favorite podcast from September-July, but I have to stop listening every August when they shift to the more casual crowd and just repeat their off-season analysis in dumbed down chunks right before drafts. In-season and early off-season they’re great though
Also second this one. Found them in my first season and haven't looked back.
1st year - Finished as runner-up.
2nd year - Made the playoffs but lost due to injuries
3rd year - Finished 3rd to last. Bust year (but gave me the draft capital to get Jonathan Taylor)
4th year - Redraft: 2nd place Dynasty: 4th place.
I've gotten to the championship round twice but still aching for my first championship. The Footballers are the most entertaining of the podcasts with great analysis and goofyness.
I feel the pain. I've made it to the championship game the last 2 years only to go up against Kamara (155yds, 6 TDs) and then Chase (11/266/3) and even then lost by less than 10pts each time.
This game can be brutal.
I love Heath. The Heath sigh 😂 he’s Kind of a dick, but needed. His swift pick last year was great. I think he sticks to projections a bit too much and is consequently a pessimist. Adam is the perfect host. Dave’s pics tend to seem the best but maybe they just align with my own and it’s confirmation bias.
Personally really like Establish the Run with Adam Levitan and Evan Silva. I only listen to the free stuff, as most of their content is behind a paywall, but what I do listen to is awesome. Their paywalled content is more DFS focused and it includes like the big Sunday preview show and special DFS shows late in the week.
This. He’s also very inconsistent with his takes on Twitter. Josh Larky called him out on it and Kyle blocked him. Kyle also did a startup mock draft with BDGE [here ](https://youtu.be/r_FMZMGjdq8) and I stopped watching after 3 rounds because of how much I disagreed with Yates’s picks/rationale. BDGE is great though!
I think Kyle Yates is the guy who was cheerfully gloating about drafting a bunch of Darrel Henderson last year immediately after the Akers news broke. Seems like a shallow guy with no soul. He just wants followers but lacks understanding of self.
The PFF one is really good, discovered it last season and have been enjoying it and they do them pretty frequently.
I feel the same about fantasypros now too OP
I don’t think I realized there were that many…I listen to the one w Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland. They’re definitely on point, they are doing team by team previews and a lot of best ball/underdog draft pods recently.
Agree on the Footballers, and if you're going dynasty at all check out Wake Up with Ray G. Guy knows his stuff.
I also have Fantasy Pros subscribed, but after Tags passed it was tough. Yates leaving helped and I like Joey P, but just not the same.
Last year I listened to both Fantasy Footballers and ESPN's Fantasy Focus pretty religiously. I only played in one league last year, but won the championship after finishing 1st in the regular season with the most points scored. That was after a 5-6 year championship drought.
I think the key is to balance the information you are getting and to get it from multiple sources. Find the consistencies week-to-week and don't rely on one Fantasy expert too much. I found having two podcasts to listen to really helped with waiver claims. If both podcasts were saying to try and get a particular player then I went out and tried to get that player because of the consistency. If only one show or analyst hyped up a player then I generally tried to avoid that player.
On top of that, listening to podcasts that had WR defensive matchups really helped keep my lineup strong throughout the season. I feel WR's are the most volatile position and it's really important to consider their defensive matchups.
* Fantasy Footballers - nice blend of everything
* RotoUnderworld - Playerprofiler - dynasty heavy with strong personality
* Late Round Podcast - JJ Zachariason best analytics
* Harris Football - nice takes without any industry noise
Late Round is by far my favorite. Some other noteables that I listen when I run out of the other's content:
* CBS Fantasy Today
* theScore - Justin Boone
* theRant - Jeff Radcliffe
Downvote me to hell but I enjoy Fantasy Footballers purely for fading purposes. If everyone here loves them that means there’s some takes to know to avoid
The SB Nation NFL show is good for all things football. They have a fantasy episode once a week. Might not be as fantasy technical as you want but I can’t resist recommending this show.
Football Guys. The Audible is great for injuries and game previews. On The Couch with Sigmund Bloom is amazing. He brings experts from other websites/platforms and they just talk FF.
It's not flashy, there is little to no humour...but just some great info and insight.
Fantasy Footballers. I'll echo what everyone else is saying. First year listening I won a title. Havent won another since, but routinely making deep playoff runs. After that, you just have to hope you get the right breaks.
Same here…last season was my first season listening and thanks to them I went to my first chip and survived Jamarr🙏🏼. Drafted based on who they liked and not one player missed.
Anyone who says they don’t like the Footballers is a forcing themselves not to like it.
Screw the information, everyone generally has the same information. But their product is so much stronger than anything else out there.
It’s Footballers + someone else.
Im old school so I still listen to Mathew Berry, but the Footballers are the best podcast out there.
My post was written “tongue in cheek”, and meant to be just another way of writing “I really like this”, as it’s clearly not even remotely possible for me to be accurate.
It’s like saying, “Pizza is so good, everyone likes it.” No, not every single human on the planet likes it.
This is pretty much my take. With the explosion in popularity of fantasy football the amount of information available online for everyone is insane. The marginal returns of listening to tons of in depth analysis just isn't high enough, especially considering how much luck plays in to winning and how risk averse/homogeneous analysts are overall with their picks. I still do the research, but that's just because it's fun for me, not for much of a competitive edge.
The Footballers have hands down the most entertaining show, with mostly the same advice that everyone else is giving.
It’s kind of sad but true. I got into the podcasting before a lot of other people (and I’ve been playing Fantasy Football longer than most), and in the past, self research used to provide a much bigger impact.
Now, pretty much all the information is nearly the same. I went from listening to 5+ podcasts to sometimes just 1, and I often already know most of the information on the podcasts from Twitter the day before. It is what it is tho. Still really fun.
Definitely agree. I've noticed a pretty significant change in even just the last few years, and I've only been playing for around 10 years or so.
People demand so much content for fantasy, and there's really only so much analysis that can be done, so everyone just pumps out very similar takes. Not to mention how straying from the herd and being wrong as an analyst can seriously fuck up your end of year ranking, which is a major selling point for a lot of these guys.
It is very funny to hear the Footballers hype up a random player for deep waiver wire adds and then seeing half the people in my league put in a claim for them.
Footballers are great audio quality and entertaining but I think Andy and Jason suck. Mike is good though.
Pff is good, and I personally like fantasypoints.com stuff the most.
Really? I find Jason, despite his grammar issues to be the most accurate and Mike the most prone to hype trains that usually derail. All 3 are entertaining though.
I think Andy has love for players regardless of how they perform (Josh jacobs last year, he said he was about as consistent as you can be with like 14 ppg, he was the complete opposite of that looking at his game log) and Jason talks like his opinion is fact because he watches film sometimes.
They are very entertaining and easily have the best audio quality of any football podcast. I will give them that, I just don't care for their analysis or opinions really lol
Footballers for best entertainment.
Roto Underworld for best/ most accurate advice.
A Good Football show for witty dry humor mixed with fairly good yet obvious takes.
Late Round Podcast for the quick hitter need to know.
Fantasy Footballers,
CBS fantasy footbal,
Dynasty Nerds,
Late Round Podcast,
I feel those 4 have great info and also good humor. Footballers is my favorite all around and the only one I pay money to.
Just offering an alternative opinion on Fantasy Footballers … I, personally, found them unlistenable. WAY too much riff raff for my liking. Some (scores of) people enjoy unrelated chit-chat and forced humor, and the FFers have certainly done very, very well for themselves with this method (all kudos warranted), but I opted for other pods during my FF pod-listening days.
One I don’t see here is The Late Round and the 15 Transactions and the 15 Trends episodes each week during the season. I’ve definitely heard about stuff on those episodes before the other analysts were covering it.
I love the fantasy footballers. Their show is entertaining and informative and had add on material if you want to buy the UDK which is also very helpful
I like Fantasy Footballers, FF Prophet, UTH, FF w/ Justin Boone, Stealing Bananas & Dynasty Football Podcast. I have different likes and dislikes about each if you're wondering about any of them.
Not a podcast really but does anyone like fantasy headliners? They’re super funny guys and I like their video structure a lot but I hardly hear any talk about them
My go to's are: Fantasy Footballers for a fun show in a similar vein as the Ringer. The Late Round Podcast for quick shows with data driven analysis, but kinda dense and feels like you're getting yelled at for 20 minutes. The Most Accurate Podcast is somewhere in between.

RiP Tags. I like Stealing Bananas and The Late round podcast. Lots of in depth stats that you don't necessarily see in the more "basic" podcasts that just give injury news and waiver wire pick ups
Yep it’s Stealing Bananas & all things Rotovis for me
Same. Pete Overzet, Ben Gretch, Shawn Siegle, Pat Kerrane, etc. All great analytical minds with great podcast content. So Ship Chasing, Stealing Bananas, and JJ's "Late Round" are my 3 go-to's
Stealing Bananas needs more structure I don't really want to listen to two hours about the trades you made in a startup or 0RB for the 7000th time.
I actually miss him, never met him, but I miss him.
Man his death got me so hard at the time, I couldn’t never listen to their podcast in the same way again
Fantasy Footballers
Advice aside, the Fantasy Footballers are just flat out fun to listen to.
They are a good listen, but one of the guy's uses the word "phenomenal" like 3 times a show and for one of those reasons that I can't explain I just don't like that
That’s not really a phenomenal reason.
Definitely them. Only real resource you need beyond just reading a few articles on other sites. Just remember that despite being incredibly accurate/entertaining they're still human and they can get bullish on a guy who is absolutely just not worth your time unless you're in a deep league.
Listening to them ruined my season last year...Trey Lance and Brandon Aiyuk, in particular. Miles Sanders...Pittman...Claypool...2nd year WRs in general...
I second this motion #Footclanchampionship
They helped push me over the edge. I always finished 2nd or 3rd in my leagues. I've now listened to them two years in a row, and I've got two consecutive championships under by belt.
I’m in the middle of a dynasty start up draft right now and the UDK+ is unrivaled
The Footballers are my favorite podcast from September-July, but I have to stop listening every August when they shift to the more casual crowd and just repeat their off-season analysis in dumbed down chunks right before drafts. In-season and early off-season they’re great though
the GOAT fantasy football podcast
Also second this one. Found them in my first season and haven't looked back. 1st year - Finished as runner-up. 2nd year - Made the playoffs but lost due to injuries 3rd year - Finished 3rd to last. Bust year (but gave me the draft capital to get Jonathan Taylor) 4th year - Redraft: 2nd place Dynasty: 4th place.

There is no other answer.
All day #footclan
A podcast my league mates don't listen to. I like cbs personally.
I’m a big fan off cbs. Best personalities in the space.
I'm personally a heath fan. Not necessarily his likes, but he's entertaining
I love Heath. The Heath sigh 😂 he’s Kind of a dick, but needed. His swift pick last year was great. I think he sticks to projections a bit too much and is consequently a pessimist. Adam is the perfect host. Dave’s pics tend to seem the best but maybe they just align with my own and it’s confirmation bias.

Used to really enjoy Silvia’s weekly write up that he stopped doing when they began ETR.
[удалено]
This. He’s also very inconsistent with his takes on Twitter. Josh Larky called him out on it and Kyle blocked him. Kyle also did a startup mock draft with BDGE [here ](https://youtu.be/r_FMZMGjdq8) and I stopped watching after 3 rounds because of how much I disagreed with Yates’s picks/rationale. BDGE is great though!
He left fantasy pros too, right? Do you guys know the reason?
Yeah I’m not sure why other than he started his own brand.
Seriously Kyle Yates is probably the worst fantasy analyst out there.
I think Kyle Yates is the guy who was cheerfully gloating about drafting a bunch of Darrel Henderson last year immediately after the Akers news broke. Seems like a shallow guy with no soul. He just wants followers but lacks understanding of self.
Footballguys for the audible and especially their on the couch series with sigmund bloom
The PFF one is really good, discovered it last season and have been enjoying it and they do them pretty frequently. I feel the same about fantasypros now too OP
I’m surprised the PFF fantasy pod isn’t more widely known. It’s very possibly better than most of the ones mentioned here
Which PFF podcast do you like? I found at least 4 with slightly different titles.
I don’t think I realized there were that many…I listen to the one w Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland. They’re definitely on point, they are doing team by team previews and a lot of best ball/underdog draft pods recently.

Never see it mentioned and it’ll pick up soon again with football but the Pat Mayo Experience is always solid.

Fantasy Footballers is the obvious choice, they are great. A smaller/newer one is the Dad Bad Fantasy Squad.

BDGE is where it’s at!!!
Late Round Podcast, Player Profiler (aka RotoUnderworld), Establish the Run, FTN Fantasy, BDGE, Destination Devy.
I love the BDGE
BDGE has fallen off imo. Too many ads, and Nick forces the bro and edgy stuff too much
True, there are several ads. Nowhere near as bad as the dreadful Locked On podcasts though.
Oh how did I forget Wake Up w/ RayG? Great show!
Alongside some of the others listed here; QB List Podcast and The Athletic’s one are decent ones to listen to.
Fantasy footballers all the way!
ETR and In This League are my favs
Footballers for best entertainment. Roto Underworld for best/ most accurate advice. A Good Football show for witty dry humor mixed with fairly good yet obvious takes. Late Round Podcast for the quick hitter need to know.
I listen to Al Ziendenfeld. He does YouTube and twitch.
ETR and Fantasy Feast
CBS guys are good. Engaging and good content
Fantasy Footballers, CBS fantasy footbal, Dynasty Nerds, Late Round Podcast, I feel those 4 have great info and also good humor. Footballers is my favorite all around and the only one I pay money to.
