Yahoo Fantasy Forecast

Summer is here, and that’s not the only thing to get excited about. In this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon talk about the launch of Yahoo’s new game, Best Ball (1:50)!  Yahoo Fantasy Best Ball launched on desktop with free public leagues  and will be launching on mobile later this summer, along with private and paid leagues. If you’ve never played or never heard of Best...

So, how high are you drafting Brett Favre in your 2020 fantasy football drafts? By now you’ve no doubt come into contact with the random, now-deleted Instagram post from the man himself claiming to be coming out of retirement for the 2020 season. So, because why not, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon start this week’s fantasy football podcast trying to answer the question: Where should Favre be in the 2020...

In this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss what a “Fantasy Ma’am” is. A “Fantasy Ma’am.” Yes, Liz delves into ... whatever that is. Later, our experts deliver some quarterback news. Russell Wilson has come out and said he wants to play until he’s 45 (but will the Seahawks protect him enough to achieve that goal?). Andy Dalton apparently loves his new head coach, Zac...

June is here, and we’re edging closer and closer to fantasy football draft season. Gamers and industry experts alike are already mocking, including our very own Liz Loza and Matt Harmon. Everyone has their own specific processes for getting themselves ready to draft. Reading material and tools aplenty exist, and Matt himself happens to be a pioneer of a popular one. In this week’s podcast episode...

We’re in the waning days of May, but it’s never too early to talk fantasy football, and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the offseason is being able to mock draft. Matt Harmon and Liz Loza have been taking part in some industry mocks lately, and they start off this week’s fantasy football podcast episode by talking about the drafts they’ve completed thus far (5:00). As you know, our fantasy fo...

There are 32 teams in the NFL, yet how many of them boast a true WR1? Sure, the Texans have DeAndre Hopkins, the Falcons Julio Jones, but not every team is so lucky. Matt Harmon and Liz Loza address this and more in this week’s fantasy football podcast episode. Before we can get to that, we have to get to Liz' exciting weekend at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere party, schmoozing with all the biggest 201...

You know, for a moment there, it seemed like the New York Jets were actually moving in the right direction. Their young quarterback, Sam Darnold, showed signs of potential greatness last season. They hired an offensive-minded head coach in Adam Gase. They signed Le’Veon Bell. The defense looks promising. And then they fired their general manager and vice president of player personnel. Suffice it t...

With the 2019 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, we’ve been taking a long look at each team’s offseason acquisitions to gauge who got better, who got worse, and who stayed the same. In this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon continue to review the state of some key squads. And how could they talk team changes without mentioning the big trade the Miami Dolphins pulled off that...

The 2019 NFL Draft is in the books and the teams that that befuddled and confused over the offseason like the New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders continued that tradition through draft night. Liz Loza  and  Matt Harmon  report in from  Buffalo's Nashville  with a special two-part draft recap combining their fantasy expertise with Yahoo Sports'  Terez Paylor  and  Charles Robinson , hosts of th...

The 2019 NFL Draft is next week. Football fans are hoping their team picks the player(s) who will take them to the next level. Fantasy football fans want to find out who, if any of these rookies, will be fantasy viable this coming season. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are here to help you get through it all in this week’s podcast episode. In previous podcast episodes, our experts have broken down the t...

The 2019 NFL Draft is right around the corner. Last week, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon broke down the biggest names at quarterback and tight end, and this week it’s time to look into fantasy football’s glamour position: Running Backs. In this week’s fantasy football podcast however, Matt is joined by Eric Edholm, who returns to Yahoo as our NFL Draft Analyst! Before they get to the draft talk though,...

We’re in April, and you know what that means. It’s time to talk the 2019 NFL Draft, and Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are more than ready in this week’s fantasy football podcast. Before they get into the nitty-gritty of it all, they circle back to last week, to discuss the Jordan Howard trade from the Bears to the Eagles (which Liz and Matt pretty much predicted, btw) (3:20). They also discussed the pr...

Now, we all know about the cringeworthy showing by the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl. Quarterback Jared Goff could pretty much do nothing against the New England Patriots. Now, it seems like the Rams don’t really know when they’ll extend Goff. On this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon examine the question of whether the Rams  even want to  extend their young QB (0:45)...

As the last puzzle pieces of free agency come into place,  Matt Harmon  and  Liz Loza  start off the show this week by addressing a very serious voicemail from a distraught Giants fan driven to the brink of despair by GM Dave Gettleman (3:00). Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming! Matt and Liz are joined by  Alex Gelhar , formerly of NFL Fantasy, to provide fantasy (and legal) insig...

In last week's podcast episode, we pondered the idea of whether the Raiders could make a splash and add either Le'Veon Bell or Antonio Brown. Well, they got one of 'em! Yahoo Sports’ Liz Loza and Matt Harmon kick off this week’s podcast with the major moves at the start of 2019 NFL Free Agency, without a doubt headlined by the trades of elite wide receivers Odell Beckham, Jr. (1:30) and Antonio Br...

The scouting combine is over; now 7 weeks of speculation begins as to where the 2019 class of rookies will land and how the draft will be affected by free agency and trades reshuffling the deck. Will Kyler Murray go first overall? If so, where will Josh Rosen be traded? Could the ever-erratic Raiders make a splash and land Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown? Yahoo Sports' Liz Loza and Matt Harmon kick...

Along with our new name, we are also launching the  Yahoo Fantasy Baseball Podcast !

John Elway got his man ... I guess. The  Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens completed a trade deal  earlier this week that accomplished two things: One: The Joe Flacco era in Baltimore is over, and the offense now belongs to Lamar Jackson. Two: The Broncos are expected to shop Case Keenum, handling the reins of the offense over to Flacco. Sure, Flacco has history with the Denver coaching staff, b...

Well, the 2018 NFL season is officially over. The New England Patriots triumphed over the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3, in the Punt Bowl ... ... Sorry, meant Super Bowl. But anyway, Tom Brady got his sixth ring, Julian Edelman won MVP — and became the subject of an  interesting Hall of Fame debate  — and the Rams are left wondering what went wrong. Liz Loza, Dalton Del Don, and Matt Harmon break down th...

But first, Liz, Scott, and Brad talk about the big Super Bowl matchup on the horizon between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams — who ya got? Earlier this year, Liz spoke t...

Our experts discussed the  coaching carousel on last week's fantasy football podcast , and it would seem like the final vacancies are filling quick. The  Jets hired former Dolphins head coach, Adam Gase , while former Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo is taking his talents to Jacksonville. The Bengals and Broncos also made coaching changes, as well as the aforementioned Dolphins and Vik...

Well, the divisional round is set, with the Cowboys facing the Rams and the Eagles vs. Saints. Over in the AFC, the Colts will face the Chiefs, and the Chargers will face the Patriots. Who ya got? Elsewhere in football news, the holes left behind by Black Monday are quickly being filled. One that launched more than a few headlines was the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury will now be the head c...

The Yahoo fantasy team is feeling introspective as of late. And why not, considering the 2018 fantasy football season came to an end last week. We're now looking ahead to the real-life playoffs, to DFS, and the 2019 season of fantasy as well. As such, Liz Loza, Matt Harmon, and Dalton Del Don decide to ask themselves the hard questions on this week's podcast episode. What went wrong (like whiffing...
