  • Be kind to yourself

    Daniel, I met you at the merch table of an Emery show in Harrisburg this summer, and I just wanted to let you know that you are awesome! When you first came on the pod and ended the show with “be kind to yourself, you deserve it” it hit me at a really difficult time in my life and had a real impact on me. I appreciate you. This is by far the best fantasy podcast because of your chemistry with the other hosts. Never change.

  • Get rid of Liz

    Liz is horrible. Please get rid of her. I used to listen to every single episode but as soon as I hear her voice I stop and change over to Berrys podcast. She is unneeded and annoying.

    Liz Loza

    On the recent podcast “Best value picks” said that both DET Lions stars - Gibbs and ARSB - are both real life and fantasy stars and “first round picks”….(16:10)

    You can be forgiven for thinking the Sun 🌞 God is a 1st Rounder, when in fact he was the a 4th Round pick in 2021! Famously the 14th WR chosen in that year’s draft, ergo his jersey!

    All is forgiven, keep up the great work, love hearing that sultry voice spewing facts over feels! 😍

🚩 Red Flag Players to Target in Fantasy Football + Kyle Soppe’s 2026 Hot Take | ESPN Fantasy
Q: Where do you see Jayden Daniels finishing in fantasy quarterback rankings this year?
He has top-five upside if he stays healthy and maintains his dual-threat value, even with potential rushing volume dips due to the coaching change.
The Mock Draft Project: Ja'Marr Chase Over JSN 👀 + Kenneth Gainwell A SMASH?! | ESPN Fantasy
Q: Which players provide the best combination of floor and ceiling in the early rounds according to your rankings?
Ja'Marr Chase stands out as a high-floor option with a proven track record, followed by targets like Lad McConkey and Justin Herbert as late-round QB and value picks, depending on league format and roster needs.
The Mock Draft Project: Ja'Marr Chase Over JSN 👀 + Kenneth Gainwell A SMASH?! | ESPN Fantasy
Q: If I have the first pick and I don't take Bijan, is taking Gibbs at number two still okay?
Yes, Gibbs is a viable option behind Bijan, especially given Detroit's commitment to using him, but it depends on how the rest of your draft shapes up and the coaching staff's plan; you can still build a strong roster around Gibbs with careful planning.
