Fantasy Football is about so much more than draft picks, trades, and game-day decisions. It’s about the adrenaline of juggling multiple drafts across multiple devices, the satisfying feeling of playing your cards right, the insane traditions unique to each league, and the amazing connection that bonds groups of people for decades. The Huddlemania Podcast will throw you head-first into the ring of fantasy football with interviews from friends, community leaders, and influencers as they share their unique stories, traditions, and league secrets. Whether you are a rookie or a seasoned fantasy manager, host Ryan Forman will bring you advice and inspiration from some of the greatest fantasy winners (and losers)! So, if you are intrigued by the competition, camaraderie, and culture that unites us fantasy fanatics, add the Huddlemania Podcast to your fantasy football resources!
