  • Making a point

    I love these podcasters, but the dynamic has changed without Stephania Bell and ESPN needs to correct this issue and bring her back.

  • Repeat content

    80% of the offseason has just been rehashing their personal mock drafts. Who decided that would be good content? Maybe one or two but damn near 10-15 episodes of mock drafting is just silly. Bring back the episodes where two teams were talked about in depth. I still really love Clay, Liz and Field but the content given to them isn't helpful for fantasy managers.

  • Not the same...

    Why not change the name. None of the OGs are even there. The last person that wasn't a tool was Stephania. Hope she joins Berry. Never listening again.

  • Bring Stephania back.

    Not a fan of Liz Loza. Doesn’t add anything of value but her own opinions which we already get from Daniel, Mike and Field. Stephania was a much better contributor with actual football contacts and insight on injuries which is super helpful. Bring Stephania back!!!

You Can Turn Your Roster Around in Week 5... Here's How! | ESPN Fantasy
Q: Should I trade away Brock Bowers for Puka Nakuwa given my current lineup?

The BIGGEST Storylines Following Week One | Fantasy Focus
Q: Which players stood out the most in Week 1 and should be prioritized for Week 2?
Gibbs, Derrick Henry, and DJ Moore were among the standout Week 1 performers; in the Bears, Caleb Williams and DeAndre Swift plus top receivers emerged as priority starts or strong flexes, while J. Jefferson and Hockinson provided solid ceiling in their offenses. Waiver targets include healthier backfields and high-volume receivers with clear roles.
The Biggest Week 2 Trap Plays & MUST Starts | ESPN Fantasy
Q: Jalen Waddle versus Jacksonville or Mike Evans versus Miami in week two?
This is a close call; Evans offers a steadier floor with a strong matchup against Miami, while Waddle has upside but comes with more risk depending on usage. Overall, Evans is preferred for a safer floor.
The Biggest Week 2 Trap Plays & MUST Starts | ESPN Fantasy
Q: Would you rather in week two start Christian Watson at the Jets or Mike Evans versus Miami?
Mike Evans against Miami is the safer, higher-floor choice, but Watson has upside if his hamstrings hold up; overall, Evans edges Watson for a more reliable Week 2 start.
