The Poor Man Fantasy Football League Podcast

Our first bye week challenge has come and gone @all. Let’s hope our lineups can stand up to the test of this week’s bye’s, injuries, and uncalled holding penalties.

Our league standings are in after four weeks @all and there are several strong match-ups that could determine some team’s final trajectory. Plus we have an official battle for last place between @ANDPRY and @donvs05. They’re emptying their benches to make a go of it, lol. There’s going to be some great football this weekend. Enjoy what you can!

Staying alive each week seems to be the theme this year. Etching out a win to keep your head afloat is all that matters. With the multitude of injuries depleting our depth and the lack of production from known talent, it has been a struggle to get those wins. We’re nearly a quarter of the way through the season, how are your playoff ambitions feeling @all? 

Injuries abounded in week 2, but we’re staying positive because the Fantasy Football universe has a weird way of righting itself, as how last week’s winners become this week’s losers. Which put a surprising manager in the Poor Man of the Week role and speaking of “rolls” we let the dice decide in this week’s bet. Come see how we did @all!

Week 1 is in the bag and for some of us it felt like we were kicked there. With injuries, poor QB play, players we most “Likely” didn’t start scoring touchdowns, and the oddest rash of lineman penalties, there were some bright spots to enjoy. Remember it’s only Week 1 with lots of time to right the ship or to run your victory laps. Go get that WIN this week @all!

We have been preparing for this all off season. We have been anxiously anticipating this moment. Week 1 is here BABY, and we’re @all for it! @ANDPRY and I hit the ground running in this season's primer with the return of our weekly bet, week 1 league match-up predictions, and for the first time ever, we rank our league mates and compare that to several League Analyzers to see who are the Contenders and who will be battling for the title of Poorman of the Year Enjoy, and don’t forget to set your lineups!

Pre-season is over, the final rosters have been set for each NFL team, and we’re breaking down our final division; the NFC North! No holds are barred in this one, especially when you’re drinking blue Koolaid. Our friend @labrebis joins us again to balance the scales of my Homerisms. It’s fun and games until someone loses a kneecap, lol. 

Week 3 of the pre-season is upon us as we near the end of our Divisional Breakdown Series with the NFC East. How timely it was that we recorded after the news broke of WR Jahan Dotson was traded from the Commanders to in division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles. Special guest and resident NY Giants fan @one2tree had lots to say about the trade, his Giants’ crappy O-line, and recent trades for TE depth. It certainly feels like football is here @all. Enjoy!

Not all of football is fun to talk about. Sometimes you have to make the most of it when the conversation turns to the unexciting and sometimes you find some absolute gems when you weren’t looking for them. We found some in the dung pile that is the NFC South and polished them as best we could in this week’s divisional breakdown. Enjoy @all

Being a homer for your team isn’t a bad thing. Especially when you share the insight you get about your team with your friends and league mates. @donvs05 does that about his Rams when we break down the NFC West in this week’s episode @all.
