Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast

We are getting used to the crazy fantasy scores, and look at how our teams are doing. Also, week 4 brings a London game and two matchups betwee...

Due to travel and work schedules, we are briefly back to virtual recording this week and trying to figure out what's going on with NFL teams after another crazy week of football. Which 0-2 teams are fighting for the #1 overall pick, and which could still bounce back? Are our early fantasy results a fluke? Which teams are actually good this season? The answer to all is who knows, but we try to figu...

We're officially into another football season, and it's a shaky start. We react to Super Bowl favorites losing out of the gate, lousy weather, and Aaron Rodgers going out for the season.

Last time, we looked at WRs and RBs in the 2023 fantasy landscape, so now we move on to TEs and QBs.  Both are pretty top-heavy but where is the best value on these positions in the middle and late parts of the draft?
