The Scott Fish Bowl drafts mark the unofficial start of fantasy football season, and with SFB12 beginning in earnest this week, the smell of football is in the air. Joining host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) to enjoy the fragrance is Joe Dolan (@FG_Dolan), managing editor of FantasyPoints.com and the co-host of the Sirius XM Fantasy Channel’s Gameday show. Joe and Pat warm up with some SFB chatter before moving on to takeaways from the Baker Mayfield trade. They also discuss some polarizing players, including Gabriel Davis and Saquon Barkley, and Joe explains why he and the rest of the Fantasy Points team are completely out on JuJu Smith-Schuster.

A lifelong fan of Philadelphia sports, Joe talks about the frustration of being a Flyers fan and how the Philadelphia Phillies helped get him through a difficult time early in hi professional career. Joe also lists a few of his favorite American bands, extoling the lyrical virtues of The Hold Steady. Is Jalen Hurts worthy of the near-unanimous love he’s getting from the fantasy community? Joe weighs in on that and the value of Eagles WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Joe makes cases for Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook. He also reveals what Patriots beat writer Andrew Callahan told him about Rhamondre Stevenson. (You’ll want to hear this.) Joe and Pat also discuss Jahan Dotson and Hunter Renfrow, and Joe lists some of his 2022 targets and fades.
