The Poor Man Fantasy Football League Podcast

Week 3 is in the rear-view and with it all the tragedies and upsets it wrought. There were a few bright spots and we talk about those in this week's breakdown. Plus we check the news desk calendar for more historical facts, introduce a new segment called "Shout-Outs," predict our Week 4 match-ups, and settle some bets. It happens right here, right now on the Poor Man Fantasy Football League Podcas...

It's week 3 and Andrew is hunting for the Trifecta. This is where he wins his league match-up and beats Mike at both the match-up predictions and weekly bet. I wonder what the odds are? Either way, there's lots to discuss this week with what happened over the weekend and Monday night. What a week of football and you can take that positively or negatively. Hopefully your team won and your fantasy r...

Week 1 is over and here come the tears of both joy and sorrow. Mike lost and Andrew won in more ways than one, but Week 2 is upon us, so there's always hope. We cover last week's match-up predictions, make week 2 predictions, crown our "Poor Man of the Week," test some new audio toys, and resolve some bets. How was your week 2?

It's Week 1 of the NFL season and we've set our fantasy lineups. Now it's time to predict who is going to win their weekly matchups, make some lineup critics, and of course make a our first bet of season! Andrew and I decide on a "Best of the Rookies" head to head. Check out who we picked and hear a little bit extra. 

We're one week away from the start of the NFL season and Fantasy drafts are everywhere. We thought we'd invite our friend and fellow Fantasy enthusiast, Johnny Rocket, to join the show to discuss drafting, league formats, advice, and all things football. We even talk a little non-football and learn about Johnny's own podcast the Why Me Project . Where he talks with people from all walks of life ab...

We have reached the end of our breakdown of each division and we saved the best for last. The AFC West is a true juggernaut of fantasy strength and we lavished these teams & players with high praise for what could be. But not all opinions were shared, and as much as we all love the players & teams in this division, we differed on our overall team projections yet shared strong similarities...

Head west my son and enjoy some of the best football the NFL has to offer because we're breaking one of the strongest division in football, the NFC West. To help us to do that, we invited our Commissioner and resident Rams fan Donny a.k.a donvs05 to add his insights to what is a fantasy rich environment. Three teams made the playoffs and one struggled to keep up. There's a lot to love, but it does...

Finally we get to talk about my Lions and the rest of the their division and truth be told, there was a lot of love given to the Lions this episode. Our fellow Canadian league-mate Gabriel aka labrebis, joined Andrew and I this week to talk NFC North. This division is rich with fantasy options and some questions. Like, who is going to be the WR1 in Green Bay? And how bad are the Bears really? We a...

Our league champion Marvin aka icexmetal joins us to help breakdown the AFC South. We also get to talk shop on recent football news, contracts, suspensions, the usual NFL topics these days. We avoided injury talk, because it's way too early for that nonsense. There was some fun perspectives on players and I never realized how like minded we all are about this division, its range of outcomes, and f...

The AFC has proven to be very strong and the AFC East is a great example of division with strength and promise. With the powerhouse Bills at peak super bowl contention to the lowly Jets building a solid foundation through the draft, there is much to like from the bottom to the top. To help us break down this division we invited our resident Pats fan Josh aka TheMultibeasts to impart some of his im...

It's the NFC South, which is not the best place to find depth at fantasy, but one man's trash is another man's treasure. Special guest Evan (Eplow) helps us breakdown each team's treasures, risks, projected end of season record, and we draft our best fantasy lineup. We also share some XFL news, a non-football treasure find story, and take it deep into overtime. It's fun talking football and other...

What was once a dumpster fire of a division is now fertile soil to find fantasy points in. At least for some. The NFC East houses the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, and Commanders. It's no surprise the love the big names get, but what is surprising are the opinions on who those big names are. Leaguemate Juan joins the show to dish on who he thinks will win the division, which players are on the rise, an...

We invited fellow league-mate Ryan aka Slickburn to help us breakdown the AFC North. Ryan proved to be the more practical one of the group and you can wager his predictions of team records will be far more accurate than Andrew or Mike's. They were far more bullish on the competitiveness of this division. With question marks at QB and back up RB's, there are still some really good fantasy assets th...

It's the last week of the off season dead zone, where there's not much to talk about expect Deshaun Watson drama, Gronk's potential replacement in Tampa, and Adrian Peterson wanting to fight Le'Veon Bell in a celebrity deathmatch. Just the usual, so we decided to amp it up and talk about something else and then circle back. Happy Canada Day and Fourth of July everyone! 

We're smack dab in the middle of that wretched time of year where all the news we hear is more tabloid than truth. Don't fall into the abyss of coach speak. Cling to the edge with us and avoid the traps and pitfalls of buying into a fantasy rug pull. Heck, you if you really want to get into someone's half-truth about something that's not really a thing, then let Andrew tell you about his Yoda is a...

The void is a place where there is nothing and everything, and with that we have some football news, some trade talks, and some Obi-Wan spoilers. All tangents lead to the Void. 

This episode might start off with a massive nod to Top Gun but it's really about the dangers that come from all the smoke, mirrors, and hype trains from mini camps. Be wary of the "coach speak" this time of year and take it with a grain of salt. To help you navigate the danger zone we bring some real hard facts of what's happening and sprinkle our thoughts on top. Of course there's tangents and ev...

We finally finished our rookie slow draft. Love the results. I think Cherven won by a landslide and oddly Andrew gobbled up most of the QBs very late. I propose the title of the best late round selections is between Bryce and Slick. So many high upside guys were split between these two that one of them has to hit. We also talk about some camp hype that leads into a tangent on contracts, player cha...

Josh a.k.a TheMultibeasts is in the house to help us take a look at the 2021 rookies a year later. What does hindsight tell us about the rookies now, now that we've seen what they were able to do on their respective teams? We do a three round mock redraft to see where we would take these rookies now. The Top 5 were pretty consistent, the remaining Top 10 shifted quite a bit, and the next two round...

We invited several of our friends to join us in doing a dynasty startup mock draft. We thought it would be fun an interesting to see what our valuations of players were if we were to start a new team. To really shake things up, I invited Corey Bittner and two of his fantasy brethren (Evan and Eric) from another league to spice things up a bit. Of course we talk recent NFL news, which shook up the...

It's dynasty rookie draft season and we're seeing lots of players' average draft position fluctuate dramatically. The second round in particular doesn't seem to have any consistency, which can present some great opportunities for those savvy managers. Mike and Andrew discuss their opposing draft philosophies, share some observations on trends they've seen, and let slip some late round darlings the...

The NFL draft was unusually weird and weirdly unusual, but full of excitement and of course potential fantasy GOLD! To help us mine for those little nuggets, we invited our first outside-the-league special guest in Corey Bittner (BittnerSteel) who comes from one of our many shared leagues to bring a new perspective on the draft. He shares his impressive fantasy resume of commissioning a series of...

It's the eve of the 2022 NFL Draft and we bring in our friend Josh, straight from the wilds of Maine. You may recognize him from his critically acclaimed appearances on the Year End Award show, where he comically bestowed well earned "satirical praise" for some of the shenanigans that happened through out the year. This time we have him on the hot seat to give us some hot takes on the draft and so...

It was a last minute pivot to swap our planned special guest who had to cancel and put your Host on the hot seat. It was a wild ride from there with many tangents that put us into overtime (sorry). But we covered the up coming draft, Mike's youthful ambitions, odd travel destinations, and low key sport movie classics. There was even an ode to his grandma. That said, it's time to get a snack and en...

Our league champion Marvin jumps on the hot seat to update us on what's going on in his life and share his hot takes on both his real world NFL team (Raiders) and his fantasy team (3 peat). Who name's their team 3 peat, lol. He delivers on those hot takes and flexes on us how good his team is...well, it's like we grovel at how well he's built his team (It's really good). Lot's of talk Vegas and va...
