We love our Fantasy Football As we speak podcast viewers. And we love getting the possibility to work together with them as typically as doable. On Monday night time, we had one in all my favourite drafts yearly, which is our annual Podcast League.

It is a 14-team, PPR league with me, Adam Aizer, Heath Cummings and Dave Richard, and we compete in opposition to 10 of our podcast listeners. They gained entry into the league by singing a music about our present, sending us humorous movies or, within the case of 1 particular person, sharing a narrative about listening to FFT whereas deployed in Afghanistan as a member of the Military.

As he advised us, he had “perhaps 20 minutes of web entry every week,” however he got here in first place in 2012 due to our present — together with the assistance of Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford. He wrote, “undefeated from a warzone child,” which is fairly cool. 

Everybody who reached out, whether or not you bought into the league or not, we admire your efforts — and the love for our present. We hope that we entertain you and offer you some Fantasy Soccer information that helps in your leagues.

As anybody who performs in a 14-team league is aware of, this format is not simple. The participant pool dries up shortly of gifted choices, and it’s important to make some robust selections in the course of the draft.

I share my staff with one in all our listeners, Todd Rones, and I like the best way our roster turned out. Our first two picks from the No. 4 spot have been simple with Austin Ekeler and DeVonta Smith, however we had a troublesome resolution to make in Spherical 3 between Rhamondre Stevenson, Mark Andrews and D.J. Moore.

We selected Stevenson to get the final remaining No. 1 working again — I am nonetheless enthusiastic about Stevenson regardless of the addition of Ezekiel Elliott in New England — and it looks like we made the appropriate name. After drafting Joe Burrow in Spherical 4, we nonetheless obtained a high quality No. 2 receiver in Diontae Johnson in Spherical 5 after which Kyle Pitts in Spherical 6.

The remainder of our roster options Zay Flowers, Nico Collins and Van Jefferson at receiver, and we now have Tank Bigsby, De’Von Achane, Ty Chandler and Devin Singletary at working again. Flowers, Collins and Bigsby, in that order, will probably be our flex possibility.
