OT - Good Fantasy Football Podcasts?

Submitted by Cosmic Blue on

I like to get my fantasy updates via podcast for the drive to work. I used to listen to ESPN's 'Fantasy Football Focus' but it is pretty much garbage now that (former Wolverine) Nate Ravitz left. Matthew Berry has no one to keep his tangents in check so most of the show has nothing to do with football. At least Stephania Bell's injury updates are ok, but she isn't always on, and they rarely give her much time. Any of you have some recommendations for good fantasy advice? Thanks in advance.

I agree with you on the Fantasy Football Focus. I have always enjoyed Matthew Berry, and think he actually gives good advice, but for whatever reason, I can't stand Field Yates, and find that it is much more nonsense then actual football these days. I have switched over to the Fantasy Footballers podcast. It is fantastic, just three guys in Arizona who put together a daily show around 45 minutes almost completely fantasy football based. I highly recommend it.

The Fantasy Footballers are awesome!  I've listened to every podcast for the past year (I have an hour drive each way to work).  Entertaining, reasonable, well-informed...like you are listening to guys having a conversation rather than talking heads and 'hot-takes'.  I've learned so much about how to really play fantasy football and stay informed.

I'm still a fan of the 06010. I don't miss Nate and enjoy Field for the most part. Berry's rants can be annoying though. Stephania was just upgraded to full-time so she's on every day now.

Not a podcast, but Evan Silva from rotoworld.com is really reliable. He constantly puts out good tidbits on his twitter (@evansilva) and through his rotoworld articles (free). And when he goes on podcasts as a guest he always links to those on twitter. I've won good money the past few years basically following his advice word-for-word.

FF is enjoyable for me when I'm making my own decisions and putting my knowledge to the test, but it's admittedly more fun when I'm taking money from my friends, and he helps me achieve that.

Ill check out the Fantasy Footballers. listening now...

Just to clarify for those questioning podcasts being a good way to get info... i hear ya. it's not super efficient. I mostly just have it on without paying close attention. its more just to get general info that i may not have heard already. it's real useful if someone i was unaware of (who watches every game) gets injured and they discuss who might be a good replacement pickup. often i'll go research those peeps more, but i wouldnt even know to do that if i didnt hear it through the podcast.

Can't go wrong with Evan Silva, he is on the Fantasy Feast Eatin' Podcast with Ross Tucker, and my personal favorite podcast to follow would have to be Footballguys.com, Sigmund Bloom is a great dude and their analysis is second to none.
