Jeff’s my go to for fantasy. I dropped nearly all other fantasy football podcasts because they were too long or the hosts banter unnecessarily too much. Jeff keeps his episodes to 15-20 minutes but gets through all you need for waivers, starters, risers, etc. and he provides common sense advice fantasy players might forget when desperate. I pride myself on being a smart fantasy player and maybe it’s just a coincidence, but ever since Jeff became my primary fantasy fb pod, I’ve gone 10-4 and 11-3 the past two seasons.

This is the best podcast if you want to learn strategies and have access to various modern tools to help implement into your fantasy football game management. He will not tell you how to play, but teach you how to consistently improve as the manager of your team.
Saugie33 · Nov 2024
Long time listener and FTN subscriber. Jeff’s fantasy breakdowns and podcast structure are second to none. The great thing about Jeff is that he doesn’t tell you how to run your fantasy team, but rather teaches you how to manage your teams effectively, and gives you the tools to be successful.

I started listening to this podcast because I thought it would be someone’s random thoughts about popular culture. Man, was I wrong. Before listening to this show, I couldn’t even spell football. Now, after a few short months, I’m the office expert on all things fantasy football. The best part is, it’s only a 30 minute show 4 days a week.
Jasonosoff · Sep 2024
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!
CoPo10 · Oct 2025
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 since he was with PFF but now I’m looking towards others podcasts for fantasy insight.
