4.8 out of 5 stars from 187 ratings
  • Simply the best NFL dynasty podcast. I don't even know why I'm reviewing or giving it 5 stars. I don't want my league mates to find it. It's the only edge I have

  • The Best for all Rookie Content

    Matt Hicks is consistently ahead of the curve when it comes to rookie content, nailing prospect like Puka Nacua, and Tyrone Tracy as people you NEEDED to draft. I will often listen to Matt’s podcasts in February and his content will already be at the consensus that is reached months later by other platforms. I love this podcast and find it essential to every draft. Thanks Matt!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Elijah Sarratt is a DIVISIVE Prospect! Tape Breakdown, Analytics, Fantasy Football Advice
Q: Why should fantasy fans like him or what should they expect from him?
Elijah Sarratt has a good late draft capital projection and is a name known to many in the industry, making him a viable option given his potential value at that spot.
Is Ty Simpson a First Round Talent? Tape Breakdown, Analytics, Fantasy Football Advice
Q: How does Ty Simpson line up against your key quarterback benchmarks?
He's played in too few games, only 15, and doesn't have enough passing attempts or efficiency to confidently project him to the NFL yet.
Carnell Tate has the Best Upside in the Class! Tape Breakdown, Analytics, Fantasy Football Advice
Q: What should fantasy fans know about Carnell Tate?
He's a top prospect who is expected to have high draft capital and impressive rookie production, but comes with some risks.
Tyler Shough Rookie Review: a Top 15 Quarterback
Q: Does that mean you're still taking him over Shough? And why Cam Ward over Shough? Is it just the draft capital?
I think the limitation that comes with Tyler Shough is New Orleans, past that nice draft capital, doesn't have any cap space to build around him, right?
Preaching Patience on Rookies and Building a 2026 Mock Draft!
Q: Are you more willing to give up draft capital to acquire a replacement for Connor?
Yes, if you're a contender, trading a late first round pick for a player like Travis Etienne would be a good value.
