  • Use to be amazing

  • Ads ads ads ads..

    Jeff is incredibly sharp, arguably one of the best in the business. The show is short and digestible. BUT MY GOD THE ADS ARE TOO MUCH. 24 minute run time for an episode and six minutes worth is probably ads. A quarter of the show? Just awful. 2 stars because of that, 4.5 otherwise. Adjust Jeff, please!

  • Unfortunately used to be a lot better.

    Been listening to Jeff for 5 yrs plus and gotta say the podcast content quality has in my opinion taken a hit this year I had loved the weekly format for the in season shows but now no longer will you get the top end of the rankings (used to sub to ftn pod when his rankings with there last year). Don't get me wrong it's still a great show for dissecting fantasy news but that's it it's mostly just ads and news. I do not fault Jeff this is his livelihood. But this pod has definitely dropped down i... more

  • Jeff lost his fastball

    Long time listener who’s moving on. The rant has turned into 10 mins of ads/him plugging FTN and less than 5 mins of actual content. No longer gives out his rankings or any beneficial information. Guess you gotta pay for the IPA’s somehow. It was a good run. At least we will always have ladies night.

  • Lost his way to Keyboard Warriors

    Jeff used to have great content and I loved listening to his knowledge about fantasy football. Lately, this show has been very inconsistent. He didn’t give any coverage during the off-season and insist his fans to pay beyond paywall for his content and his rankings. Why even waste his time doing a podcast about fantasy football if you’re not going to talk about players. It’s like he’s afraid to give his opinion on certain players to avoid the keyboard warriors. I’ve been a huge fan of his sinc... more
