Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

Another national TV game, another insane comeback, another head-scratcher of a fantasy football result. We'll dig into the Monday night game, where the Vikings somehow overcame *all that* to win, and Caleb Williams didn't look particularly fixed. In addition, we'll review all the rest of the Week 1 game film that we didn't get to on Monday's show, plus we'll spin it forward and start thinking abou...

Football is back! We have actual games to talk about! The endless speculation is over, and now the teams are telling us their plans by *executing* their plans, giving us tons of information that can help make our fantasy teams better. Rather than listen to folks who only look at highlights and box scores, listen to us! We watch *all* the games! We'll tackle the first part of Week 1's results and d...

You've done all you can do! The NFL season's gonna be what it's gonna be! But you're not made of stone, and neither are we. That's why for one final pre-Week-1 episode, we're going to channel in our inner-Cousin-Josh and worry a little bit. Let's talk about what's freaking us out about the forthcoming NFL season! Plus: a deep dive into what happened in Thursday night's Cowboys/Eagles game and a di...

It's time to wrap up the preseason with our *other* awards -- these are the Huggies! We'll talk about the players we're most looking forward to watching and the ones we don't want to talk about for a little while, plus predict 2025's Fantasy MVP. We'll also preview the season opener: Cowboys at Eagles, play an incredible listener mixtape, and make our picks for Week 1 in DraftKings DFS! Guest: DFS...

Let's put together some Week 1 fantasy lineups! In general, we don't want to deviate from season-long ranks too much, because we're constantly surprised about which matchups are difficult and which are easy. But we've found some players you might be considering who deserve some ranks changes sight unseen. We'll also do a snarkbag, and a little bit of Paywall Andy grab-ass on the free side. Guest:...

It's finally Week 1! It's the time when the NFL-prognosticating world is at its absolute most stubborn: by golly, we *know* what these teams are, we *know* exactly what these players are gonna be...and then next week that will all be changed. Anyway, ahead of that on today's show, we'll look back at the stories we predicted would matter most in August and see how they worked out, and we'll review...

As you draft your fantasy football squad this weekend, we want you to relax, have fun, and realize that all the touts who seem so *certain* about everything will be proven wrong in under a week. Draft players you like, the ones you think are good -- you will make mistakes because we all do, but then we'll spend the entire season reviewing tape and fixing them. For today, we'll talk about roster co...

We've bloviated about the 2025 fantasy football season enough! It's time to turn the show over to you! On today's episode, we'll spend most of the time tackling your questions, some football, some non-football. Do we mind doubling up superstars on the same fantasy team? Are there early-round RBs that could tempt an inveterate Zero RB drafter? Can Kyle Williams overcome the curse of the Patriots? W...

NFL Cutdown Day happened on Tuesday, and...it was a little underwhelming? At least in terms of big names changing teams, Cutdown Day didn't really deliver. But we *did* get some pretty big roster news elsewhere, with players who did and didn't wind up going on PUP lists and IR lists. We'll handle that material, we'll read Brian Robinson's *new* Almanac profile, and then we'll have a look at the ha...

Let's not be touts! We can't see the future, and predicting sports is hard. It's important to acknowledge the assumptions that get baked into our fantasy football draft ranks and our assessments of NFL players and offenses. So that's what we'll do today: we'll sift through our 2025 ranks and come up with five players we absolutely could wind up being wrong about. Plus: Terry McLaurin signs, Joe Mi...

By now, we've done a heck of a lot of drafts, mock and otherwise. So we have some personal anecdotes about the players *we* have tended to draft in the later rounds. That'll be today's discussion: where we think the soft spots are in the double-digit rounds of fantasy football drafts in 2025. We'll list QBs, RBs and WRs we love taking late. Also: fallout from the Brian Robinson trade, the Dolphins...

The Super-Deep list continues today! Five more players we're not drafting, but we'll keep an eye on as the season progresses. Also: it's premature, but because of Cousin Josh's impending vacation, you're getting the Preseason Baggy Awards a week early. Get ready for Josh's biggest trash bags of 2025, and also just simply get ready to laugh. The big shows keep on coming! Thank you for listening! Gu...

Don't Draft These Players! Okay, well, if you're in a very deep league, or you're thinking about dynasty, maybe you can draft these players. But the Super-Deep Sleeper list isn't typically meant for standard rosters, or 12-team leagues. Instead, our annual list of deep names is intended to read tea leaves: where might these younger players fit as the NFL season progresses? We'll do our best to com...

Sometimes unsexy is good! On today's podcast, we'll discuss the merits of drafting *safe* players. If your draft strategies sometimes involve selecting risky players in early rounds -- and they should! -- it can make sense to find some high-floor players in the early/middle rounds who can present a smoother ride. We'll select one safe player per round, and discuss! Also: Anthony Richardson gets be...

Rookies usually get drafted too high for fantasy football. But there are absolutely exceptions to this rule. *A few* 2025 rookies will probably make a big splash and potential swing leagues. Can we identify them? Well, maybe *we* can't, but often Matt Waldman can. We'll dig into the big rookie names who are getting drafted to be fantasy starters, and the potential values among rookies who are goin...

We always say we'll draft any player...at the right price. But there are some players whose prices seem so "off" to us, there's no way we'll get them. That's how busts are born! On today's show, we'll count down the players we *won't* be drafting for fantasy football in 2025: QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs who simply won't wind up on any of our teams. Plus we'll review the Joe Mixon "flag" call in light of...

Let's keep counting down the Flag Players until we get to #1! These are 10 players we love drafting in fantasy football leagues in 2025! Who will make the list? Today we'll also discuss some NFL news that has resulted in ranks changes, we'll draft another best-ball squad, and we'll get the inverse of the Flag List as the Prince of Darkness joins to present his 2025 Frag List: players you should de...

It's Flag Day! Today we start picking players we definitively want in fantasy football drafts for 2025. We'll plant some flags on some players' draft stock, where we think the dude is sufficiently good, and the round is sufficiently cheap. Who will wind up among the 10 flag players? Listen and find out! Also: we'll question some of the offensive situation assumptions underpinning several important...

It's time to start looking at where these fantasy football dudes are getting drafted! We've held off to this point, so that our opinions can remain our own, but beginning with today's show, we'll start digging into ADP. To kick that off, we'll count down the biggest surprises we experienced upon first looking at Average Draft Position for 2025. Plus: Brock Bowers's Almanac Profile, and a review of...

You like sleepers! Who doesn't like sleepers? On today's podcast, we'll tackle a particular kind of fantasy football sleeper for 2025: the Post-Hype variety. These guys have been drafted higher in the past (sometimes much higher) than they're going this summer, and we think they have a chance to live up to prior lofty expectations. Let's count down the Post-Hypes! In addition, we'll talk about a f...

Sometimes knowing which players *aren't* good is half the battle. On today's podcast, we'll count down our Film Room Zeroes for 2025: NFL players who simply didn't lay down very good film in '24. We'll draft *anyone* at the right price, but we're casting the side-eye at these particular players for fantasy football this year. We'll also read Davante Adams's Almanac profile and get invited to more...

Just because drafting a player in fantasy football is stressful, doesn't mean we won't do it. But it's good to know what you're getting into! On today's show, the Prince of Darkness returns, and we count down our Acid Reflux All-Stars: players who might return great value or might tank our teams, but either way, we fear they'll give us the stress farts. Plus we'll talk about the latest NFL joint p...

Sometimes you just wanna sit back and watch the players play. There are some insane athletes in the NFL, and some of them just have that little extra something that makes them glorious to behold. That's who we're honoring on today's podcast: the Film Room Heroes. They aren't necessarily perfect fantasy options, they might not even be draftable in some cases, but we've enjoyed watching them so much...

High-variance players are tough! On the one hand, you understand how they can be important starters on your fantasy football team. On the other hand, it's terrifying to trust them! That's the conundrum we have when we think about Swing Players: players who have so much upside and so much downside that they can swing the results of your league all by themselves. That's our list today: Swing Players...

Offensive lines matter! Of course they do, they're the bedrock of NFL offenses, and the skill players we draft in fantasy football rely on their o-lines to produce big numbers. Unfortunately, we're not always great a *predicting* which o-lines will be great or disastrous. Then again, we didn't play o-line in the NFL! But today's guest did, and he'll list a few lines he's excited about and a few th...
