  • Great Show Guys!!

    I look forward to The Adam Schefter pod every week! Schefty has great insight, and he and Ty Schmit work really well together. The 6-pack format works great to focus the podcast. My only suggestion is to have Ty provide a bit more commentary/stories rather than mostly tee-ing up Schefty. Love the show guys / keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Schefty's Guys for the Fantasy Football Season
Q: Who are some rookies you're targeting this year?
Rookies are volatile, but some have potential to outperform their draft position. It's worthwhile to consider late-round darts on players like Jeremiah Love or Jadarian Price, while recognizing that not all rookies will hit. The strategy remains to weigh risk versus value and draft those with the best upside at the right price.
Schefty's Guys for the Fantasy Football Season
Q: What fantasy position do you like the most this season?
Tight end is shaping up as a deep, stacked position with a lot of viable starters, from top-tier names to emerging sleepers. Depth and durability across the group make it an appealing position to build around in most leagues.
Schefty's Guys for the Fantasy Football Season
Q: How are you approaching QBs this year?
There are so many good quarterbacks that you can wait and still get value; if you want the top guys like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, take them, but it's not necessary to reach for a quarterback early. The strategy is to assess availability and let the right spot dictate when you pull the trigger.
Is Puka Going to Miss Week 1? Did the Cowboys win the Parsons Trade?
Q: Do you have any updates on potential disciplinary actions and how impactful they will be for a couple of teams?
We're still awaiting clarity as cases are reviewed; Nakua, Jacobs, Pearce, and others are under consideration, but final discipline is pending and could range in severity, altering team plans before the season.
Schefty's Can't Miss Draft Intel on ALL 32 Teams
Q: What should we expect from the Dallas Cowboys at 12 and potentially moving up?
Dallas is weighing whether to add a top defensive piece or move up for a specific player like Sonny Stiles or Arville Reese, with a preference to avoid sacrificing their later first-round pick and keeping flexibility for trades.
