Ep. 50: The Yearly Fantasy Football Rant

1 hour 50 minutes

The Yearly Fantasy Football Rant

We made it halfway to 100! NFL Week 13 has (mostly) passed and that means hopes and dreams are being dashed across the country both on the gridiron and… the fantasy gridiron. Yes, we know, no one likes hearing about others’ fantasy football teams. We promise 97% of this podcast is still about regular NFL action. You simply cannot miss the rant, though, so stick around. Listen ahead for:

A potentially massive shift in the playoff picture due to injuries for Lamar Jackson and Jimmy Garoppolo (1:41)

The extremely uncomfortable scene in Houston during Deshaun Watson’s return (14:20)

Our favorite subject: Lions talk (20:59)

Did Chiefs-Bengals say more about one team versus another? (25:42)

A quick update on the MVP picture (32:59)

Guys that won’t win MVP but are leading terrifying units (39:27)

Yearly rant about why fantasy football is stupid and bad (46:40)

Game balls, including offense (54:16), defense (1:02:12) and special teams (1:11:54)

Uniforms! (1:17:38)

The unfortunate debut of Brian Daboll in head-scratchers (1:24:27)

Will Monday Night Football plunge the NFC South even further into chaos? (1:40:15)

And our patented lookahead to Week 14! (1:44:19)
