  • 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).

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

Jeff gets his balls broken
Q: Should I just use promo code Rat Pack at ftnfantasy.com for 10% off?
Yes, you should use promo code Rat Pack to get a discount.
He's the fastest kid alive
Q: What's your favorite draft spot to pick from?
Jeff's favorite spot is always number one, as statistically it allows assembling the most robust roster. If not one, then he prefers two or three, and sees picking from the 12th spot as the worst position.
No worries about CeeDee Lamb
Q: Do you have any tips on dynasty, on where can we find some dynasty content from you?
Jeff promotes the Rookie Fantasy Scouting Guide and mentions the FTN Discord for strategies and interactions.
Shenanigans
Q: What would be the number one piece of fantasy advice for a newbie?
Don't worry about how many points a player scores, worry how many more points that player is projected to score than the next highest guy on waivers.
Brandon Aiyuk trade request?
Q: How are you valuing players with a week 14 bye?
I'm not drafting with the assumption that I'm going to make the playoffs, so I'm not changing my approach regarding players with a week 14 bye.
