Lakewood Ranch Fantasy Football Dads League

Three weeks in the books, and most of the league is off to a hot start with five teams at 2-1, and the East Coast division is putting up big points with an average PF of 353. There is a good chance that by the end of week 4, Tim and Gabor could be at 3-1. Will the East Coast division continue putting up big points? Can Shane get his first win of the season? All that and more ahead in week 4. Follo...

Welcome back! Here we are for Season 6 of the LWR Fantasy Football Dad's League podcast, and the season has kicked off with a bang.   First-time champ Tim will be attempting to repeat as champion this season (something that hasn't happened in 11 years), Gordon will be chasing his first title, and I'll be trying to make the playoffs with my Fantasy Football Pros "F" rated draf...

We're back! After taking a couple of weeks off due to back-to-back hurricanes, we now find ourselves in the back half of the season heading into week 9. It's been tough sledding thus far for everyone but two owners, the only two owners with winning records. No one else. In fact, an entire division has no one with a winning record. No thanks to the disappearance of all the WRs. Week 9 doesn't provi...

Week 2 is now in the rearview mirror, and I feel like this is a replay of last season when virtually no one could remain upright. Everyone but Gordon had vital squad members go down with injuries, and some owners have already filled up their IR slots. If this keeps up, we'll all be playing with backups and waiver wire pickups. Week 3 could see an early division leader further separate himself...

So excited to be back for the 2024 Season as we start our 10th season of the Lakewood Ranch Fantasy Football Dad's league and our 5th season of the podcast! With our draft and week 1 in the books, surprises abound. Shane kept the wrong Robinson, Jason drafted a kicker in the 6th round and has a dumpster fire of a WR room as a result, CMC's late scratch cost an owner the W and subsequent st...

We took a week off, but now we are back and we are heading into the home stretch of the regular season. Week 8 saw the high water mark for top weekly points get reset, Sean lost on Monday night by .4 points, and Gabor is on an absolute tear through the league with a 5-game win streak. Week 10 brings the dreaded "week 10 bye" as several high-powered offenses are taking a break at it's...

We've crossed the midpoint of the regular season, and last week's rivalry week played out as expected. Ricky Steamboat's Dreamboat extended their lead in the Pretty Boys division to a 6-1 record, Animal Steele's Backhair took down the new league juggernaut, and Sage Yahoo Autodraft is riding a 3-week win streak heading into week 8. With week 8 on tap, it's another key Mauler&#3...

Week 7 is here; it's the midpoint of our regular season and the first rivalry week of our 2023 season, with big games riding on the Sunday night Philly / Dolphins matchup. In week 6, Sean's bad JuJu reached God-level status after losing by 0.6 points on Monday night, roster and waiver wire management is becoming an issue for several owners, and we birthed another juggernaut when the games...

We're nearing the halfway point of the season, and the themes we've been seeing all season are pretty much cemented. Kickers continue masquerading as WR2s; more big points were put up last week, trades are still happening, and the waiver wire activity is on straight fire. As we look forward to week 6, we're expecting kickers to continue to put on a show, we're going to get some sep...

With week 4 in the books, there's no shortage of points being scored as we're looking at some of the highest points we've ever had this early in a season. In addition, as you might have guessed Sean's stunt from last week caught the attention of the Fantasy Football Gods and they bestowed Legendary Status on his bad JuJu. And kickers...still a thing, with their value increasing by...

This week's episode is a special one as we have our first podcast caller of the season, and it's none other than Doug-E-fresh, owner of Animal Steele's Backhair. He joins us for what might be our new, hair-raising segment, Brownell's Breakdown as we look at week 4 matchups. In addition to Doug joining us this week, Sean and I discuss week 3's games and the HUGE points some of t...

With week 2 in the rearview mirror, we're all starting to settle into our teams and into this season. Early season antics abound, and there is a real chance that a few teams could start the season 0-3. For the week 2 recap, we'll discuss waiver wire observations (it's been active), the Junkyard Dogs team looks like anything but a group of Junkyard Dogs, and how much of an impact the tr...

With week 1 behind us, we're settling in for what promises to be one of the most exciting league seasons yet. This week's episode combines our annual post-draft and week 1 recap. We'll discuss a few draft observations, which teams look the strongest (right now), and die laughing at Yahoo's post-draft grades and commentary, courtesy of its new partnership with Chat GTP. With week 1...

It's been a long offseason, but here we are at the cusp of the start of the 2023 season. With that comes our annual pre-draft episode and all things armchair quarterback. To kick off our 4th season, Sean reveals this year's theme (it's fantastical), we'll review everyone's keeper choices now that the deadline has passed, and look at some potential draft strategies that could pl...

It has been a few weeks since I recorded a podcast for the league, and a lot has taken place. A LOT. But rather than go through the details of the last two weeks, Sean and I thought we should do a first half of the regular season recap for you all. Heading into week eight games, no one team is out of it. Sean and I cover everything from Sage Yahoo Auto Draft's performance or lack thereof thru the...

Oh, what a week, I could not have asked for a better outcome for week 4's games. The setup for week 5, which just so happens to be our first of two rivalry weeks, is fantastic. With all the owners in the Hair Legends division sitting at overall records of 2-2 and all owners playing each other this week there will be some separation in the division when it's all said and done. Couple that with Sage...

With week 3 in the books, we are now getting some good data on the teams and some interesting stats and trends. You don't have to look far for some of those stats as Sage yahoo Autodraft is still being tracked, Gordon's squad is putting up the kind of numbers you don't want to, and the Fantasy Football gods did have to step in during week 3. Looking ahead to week 4, we have a battle for first plac...

Now that week 2 is in the rearview mirror I can see everyone's teams start to settle in. Injuries are already affecting teams, Sean is already up to his waiver wire shenanigans, and one owner appears to be on a bit of a revenge tour. Week 3 has the potential to put a few owners in early holes that will be hard to climb out of, it will be interesting to see how things play out! If you want to follo...

Week 1 is in the books, and that did not go the way it was supposed to for a bunch of us. Not only that, but the injuries are already piling up and several of us have multiple players no longer upright, myself included. With week 2 upon us, we could see last season's last-place finisher start 2-0, and the man none of us want to see start 2-0 do so as well. Perhaps I can have something to say about...

Wow, that was fast. It feels like it was only yesterday that our 2021 season came to a fitting conclusion with the Championship earned by none other than yours truly. And now I have the impossible task of trying to repeat; seriously, it's never been done in this league...ever. Lots of research to do and so little time to do it. We're getting our 2022 podcasting season started with our pre-draft po...

Here we are on the cusp of week 1 games of the 2022 season. Before we get into our normal weekly episode flow, Sean and I have to continue the tradition that started last season with our post-draft recap. Last season's draft was quite the spectacle, especially with the shenanigans that took place in round 8. This season's draft I would argue was more pedestrian, but still with some surprises along...

What an end to the regular season we just had. This week's podcast is a tad longer than usual as Sean stops by to help co-host and go through all that happened during the final week of the regular season. Shops were wrecked, dreams were dashed, and cold hard cash was awarded. What's even more interesting is that the first week of the playoffs is all about rematches. Each game this week is a rematc...

It's been a few weeks since we've released a podcast and boy do we not have enough time to talk about all that has taken place over the past few weeks. We've added new owners to the top weekly point-getter club (Tim & Gordon), waiver-wire shenanigans are still taking place (Sean), one of the Sage Yahoo Autodraft teams has caught absolute fire, and playoffs brackets are coming into view. There...

Co-hosting duties this week were awarded to Sean whose TE Kittle put up the most points in week 9. However, I was late in coordinating with Sean this week so Sean gets a rain-check and will be joining as co-host on a later episode. That coordinating snafu is totally on me. This week I review week 9, the 4-way tie for the best record that almost was (Mahommie's fault), the snooze-fest that was ever...

Co-hosting duties this week went to Tim making his first appearance of the season! This week we discuss week 8 observations, continue to heap praise on Steve's juggernaut, and look forward to a very enticing game between two fast-rising teams in week 9. Want to follow along?
