Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 5.3k ratings
  • Play FantasyPros

    It’s hard to give 5 stars when the analyst never tries to compete vs other analyst in Famtasy Pros. Most serious analysts play. I’m sure JJ has done great in some of his hundreds or thousands of leagues but go by rankings not now well you did in a random best ball.

  • Talked down to...

    JJ is enthusiastic. He is all about his models and not wasting time. But over years, I just feel like I'm being talked down to.... data is fine. Have a personality and don't talk at me. Leaving The Stream is JJ's sweet spot for talk. Otherwise he is a fantastic analysis. Just talking about the podcast.

    Wish it wasn’t so focused on PPR.

  • Great info.

    However, this straight-off-the-sheet script reading is really tough to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Late-Round Perspectives: Eric Balkman
Q: Do you think that these best players you've talked to, that they've had in the past has been shrinking because of the readily available information that's out there?
Balkman says the edge still exists but is more difficult to find because information is now widely and quickly available. He advises assessing the substance behind preseason hype rather than automatically accepting or rejecting it.
Late-Round Perspectives: Eric Balkman
Q: What do you think is one thing that separates high-stakes players as fantasy managers compared to the average fantasy manager?
Balkman says many high-stakes players devote more time and attention to waivers, current information, lineup decisions, and planning for future matchups.
1144: Mailbag - Chase Brown's Usage, Mobile Quarterbacks, and More
Q: However, this season, most of the elite quarterbacks aren't putting up big rushing numbers. Why is this? Is it an outlier or a new trend?
Zachariason attributes the dip to injuries and limited play from several mobile quarterbacks, alongside strong passing production from other quarterbacks. He considers it an outlier and says rushing remains a relatively predictable source of fantasy points.
1144: Mailbag - Chase Brown's Usage, Mobile Quarterbacks, and More
Q: What should we do with Chase Brown in redraft leagues? I'm getting tempted to move on from him and trade him for someone like Bashaul Tutin. Would you hold on to Chase Brown, or would you try to sell?
Zachariason recommends holding Brown. His rushing efficiency and workload may decline, but Perine has not been much more effective overall, and Brown's receiving role in the Bengals' offense could sustain his fantasy value.
1148: Mailbag - The Denver Offense, Matthew Golden, and More
Q: Which injured players are worth actively trading for?
Zachariason identifies DJ Moore and Ladd McConkey as potential buy-low targets, citing their per-route production and the possibility of better fantasy output if they stay healthy and maintain strong route shares.
