The Poor Man Fantasy Football League Podcast

With the NFL draft over, Andrew and I decided to have a high level look at each skill position to give some quick quips about who went where, how we feel right now about their fantasy potential, and wrap it @all up with some bad puns & dad jokes.

We take one more kick at some NFL industry mocks before the NFL draft tomorrow night! We grabbed 5 fresh from the presses mock drafts and lined them up to see who is taking who. With little surprise near the top, there were several surprises along the way with a very strong feeling on which teams could trade up or back into the first round. It's all for the its and giggles of it all

With the NFL draft just over a week away, we thought we should review some mock drafts from various industry analysts. Ranging from known to obscure. It was fun to see the similarities and the and bold selections, then add some Poor Man's perspective on it @all

Andrew and I decided to share some fantasy football regrets that include draft selections, trades, waiver decisions, and misplaced belief in players. It was time to let these memories go and stop them from living rent free. What are some of your fantasy football regrets @all?

With the Void of the off season in full effect, we decided to fill it with food. Let's talk about unique food at NFL stadiums

Welcome to Season 5! I wish there was more to talk about, but this period of time between relevant football is kind of a void for talkable content. So we fill in the gaps by taking you guys on a few tangents about Supervisors and Master Chief. It's real top of the dome stuff. Enjoy @all!

It feels like there was more action happening before free agency actually opened up this year than normal and with it came a lot of changes to discuss. We talk about every known trade, signing, and release we know of and what we thought about it. Then we wrap up our divisional reviews with the AFC West. Enjoy @all!

We finally get to talk to @labrebis about the AFC & NFC North predictions we did over the summer, as well as hash out some Commanders news and their win over the Lions in the playoffs. Sadly, @ANDPRY was unable to attend this one, so no jokes from last year's last team dunking on this year's. I'm sure there would have been some good ones .

This week starts a little early with the NFC East and special guest Juan who helped break this division down back in the summer. The early predictions we made way back when may not have come to fruition but one of us got pretty close. Enjoy!

Donny returns to the show to review our NFC West divisional breakdown, share some insights on the Rams future & various trade rumors, and compare the weather between California & Canada. To paint a picture for you, I'm wearing a toque, indoors, during the recording because it's that cold today. Stay warm @all

With the Super Bowl over, and what a Super Bowl it was, we continue winding down our season with another divisional review. This time it's the AFC East. We invited Josh aka TheMultibeasts to join us and with him he brings our coveted "Year End Award Show" where we recognize some thrilling events from the past fantasy season and hand out some accolades. Lets see who wins this years' Poor Man of the Year award @all

Another vacation for Andrew, only to return to a deep freeze in weather and on his birthday too! At least we get to review our AFC & NFC South breakdowns to give us warm thoughts or warm laughs at how bad these divisions & our projections were. Oh the memories.

The weekly bets continued with back to back fantasy pick'ems while we were away to Los Cabos. The beer helped to both mourn the loss of the Lions and the Chiefs win over the Bills. It's was fun but not nearly as much fun as the Super Bowl part will be!

It's time for the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs with more predictions, some news, and Andrew lost last week's bet so he decided to pull out an old classic for this week's. It's all shenanigans this week!

We're back after taking a two week break during the Christmas holiday and New Years with the wrap up episode to our season long campaign to crown our League Champion!

Week 15 presented some of the closest matchups all season and there was no better time than now to put managers on edge than when trying to make the play-offs.

Win and your in, is the theme for Week 15! Unless you're already out and in the play-oofs instead of the play-offs. Either way, it's been a long season where every battle was fought with depleted rosters, questionable starts, and maybe a couple of waiver adds. It's been fun and that's what it's all about. Keep it fun and have a weekend @all!

Week 14 is a terrible time to have six teams on bye. It makes for some challenging situations for teams trying to make the playoffs and for those trying to stave off elimination. We have three teams fighting for the last playoff spot that are forced to start some very questionable players just to fill out the roster. It's going to be a nail biter. Enjoy your weekend @all and I wish everyone the best of luck.

It was a week of upsets in both real life football and in fantasy, but there's still light at the end of the tunnel (for some). Our league rankings shuffled a bit, making this week's match-ups super critical, but let's not let that spoil the holiday season. It's Thanksgiving and we do have a lot to be thankful for. Enjoy the holidays @all!

Oh boy, the fight for the playoffs is getting REAL! We break down what it's going to take for several teams to make or keep a playoff spot. It's close for several teams and I'm sure someone is sweating out there @all. Come see how we're doing. 

Week 11 is here and my anxiety over making the playoffs is through the ROOF! How are you feeling? We only have 5 games left before the playoffs and we took a quick look at everyone's schedule to see what the road ahead looks like. There definitely are some important  match-ups over the next couple of weeks. It's going to make for some really emotional rollercoaster weekends. Let's not forget that trade deadlines are also fast approaching @all. Oh the excitement! 

Week 10 essentially marks the turning point for many teams with aspirations of making the playoffs. We know what our teams are able to do with our current rosters. Now is the time where most teams sitting on the playoff bubble take stock of their situation and make some tough decisions; are you in, or are you out! Counting yourself in might mean something different to each of us. You might be able to sell off picks or players to try and get some pieces you're missing to “win now.” You might be rejoicing to have players returning from injury at the time needed to get your next win. Whatever your situation, good luck this week and go get that win @all!

We're halfway through our season and the scales of who's in and who's out are still pretty balanced. With seven weeks left before the fantasy playoffs, no one is “mathematically” eliminated just yet. And there are some key matchups this week that could tip that balance for some. This is why we have side bets, weekly match-up predictions, and league trash-talk to help us get bye, lol. Come enjoy the fun @all!

This was the most devastating week for injuries and there's still so much of the year left to go. But fear not, because you're not alone in this. We're @all feeling the injury pain and having to make some questionable start decisions. Which is perfect because I make questionable decisions all the time, like choosing to be a slice of bacon for Halloween. Cheers!

We're almost at the halfway point of the fantasy season @all. How's your season going? It has NOT been easy this year and if making it to the playoffs is the goal then what do you need to do to get there? Are you buying, selling, or staying the course? One of us is still hopeful while the other is getting strapped into their ejector seat, but we still find ways to have fun playing fantasy.

Our first bye week challenge has come and gone @all. Let's hope our lineups can stand up to the test of this week's bye's, injuries, and uncalled holding penalties.

Our league standings are in after four weeks @all and there are several strong match-ups that could determine some team's final trajectory. Plus we have an official battle for last place between @ANDPRY and @donvs05. They're emptying their benches to make a go of it, lol. There's going to be some great football this weekend. Enjoy what you can!

Staying alive each week seems to be the theme this year. Etching out a win to keep your head afloat is all that matters. With the multitude of injuries depleting our depth and the lack of production from known talent, it has been a struggle to get those wins. We're nearly a quarter of the way through the season, how are your playoff ambitions feeling @all?  Winning isn't easy Monday night football was fun!  Week 4 match-up predictions Weekly bets and we're letting the dice roll

Injuries abounded in week 2, but we're staying positive because the Fantasy Football universe has a weird way of righting itself, as how last week's winners become this week's losers. Which put a surprising manager in the Poor Man of the Week role and speaking of “rolls” we let the dice decide in this week's bet. Come see how we did @all! Technical issues, new camera angles, plus live trade talks Oh man, this week was rough; injuries, low TD count, and bad QB play Week 2 match-up predictions Weekly bets and we're letting the dice roll

Week 1 is in the bag and for some of us it felt like we were kicked there. With injuries, poor QB play, players we most “Likely” didn't start scoring touchdowns, and the oddest rash of lineman penalties, there were some bright spots to enjoy. Remember it's only Week 1 with lots of time to right the ship or to run your victory laps. Go get that WIN this week @all!  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/poormanfootball/episodes/EP147---Week-1-Season-Primer-e2o15l1 Technical issues, new camera angles, plus live trade talks Oh man, this week was rough; injuries, low TD count, and bad QB play Week 2 match-up predictions Weekly bets with friends are fun, right?

We have been preparing for this all off season. We have been anxiously anticipating this moment. Week 1 is here BABY, and we're @all for it! @ANDPRY and I hit the ground running in this season's primer with the return of our weekly bet, week 1 league match-up predictions, and for the first time ever, we rank our league mates and compare that to several League Analyzers to see who are the Contenders and who will be battling for the title of Poorman of the Year Enjoy, and don't forget to set your lineups! Power outages cause traffic issues Comparing our season long predictions against several league analyzers Week 1 match-up predictions Our weekly BET returns with doozy of a match-up

Pre-season is over, the final rosters have been set for each NFL team, and we're breaking down our final division; the NFC North! No holds are barred in this one, especially when you're drinking blue Koolaid. Our friend @labrebis joins us again to balance the scales of my Homerisms. It's fun and games until someone loses a kneecap, lol.  Liquor sales and Canadian convenience stores Toxic organizations and locker rooms NFC North Divisional Breakdown Our best fantasy lineup from the NFC North

Week 3 of the pre-season is upon us as we near the end of our Divisional Breakdown Series with the NFC East. How timely it was that we recorded after the news broke of WR Jahan Dotson was traded from the Commanders to in division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles. Special guest and resident NY Giants fan @one2tree had lots to say about the trade, his Giants' crappy O-line, and recent trades for TE depth. It certainly feels like football is here @all. Enjoy! NFL trades & news, plus some in League action  Move Ertz, Get out the way! NFC East Divisional Breakdown Our best fantasy lineup from the NFC East

Not all of football is fun to talk about. Sometimes you have to make the most of it when the conversation turns to the unexciting and sometimes you find some absolute gems when you weren't looking for them. We found some in the dung pile that is the NFC South and polished them as best we could in this week's divisional breakdown. Enjoy @all Injuries suck NFC South Divisional Breakdown Our best fantasy lineup from the NFC South

Being a homer for your team isn't a bad thing.

Summer time @all! And we're about to go on vacation and before we do, we wanted to share our Top 3 players at each skill position going into next year. No scientific fact involved. Just pure emotional speculation based on unfounded beliefs that are rooted in a desire for these players to achieve our dreams. Who are your Top 3?

It's our final week of analysis on a random team in one of our shared leagues and this week @ANDPRY and I finally tackle two teams from our home league of Poor Man. This week's “Poor Man's” take on random teams goes out to our friends @Slickburn and @TheMultibeasts.

Last week we, @ANDPRY and I took over a random team in one of the leagues we share to give a “Poor Man's” take on its current situation, analyze its strengths & weaknesses, offer some trade for & away targets, and predict its competitive future. This week, we do it @all again and this time it's in the No Fun League with @Cherven and @NoOneInSite as the teams on review. What do you think?  School is almost out, meaning EXAM time! The cost of keeping talented players Random team breakdown in Crazy Man League It's almost SUMMER!

So we're starting in the Simple Man League and looking at teams from @RN4L661 and @donvs05.  Sports superstitions Random team breakdown in Simple Man League Roadtrip to see some friends in Calgary

Now that our draft season is over. We thought we would do a completely unnecessary rookie mock draft. It's five rounds, linear, random seating in a 10 team half-ppr dynasty format. Watch us get sniped by the Sleeper Bots and reveal our true feelings on some of the later round selections. It's a good time @all.  Tangent Time The Unnecessary Rookie Mock Draft  Kids this days, lol

With our league draft complete, we thought we would have a look at our 2023 rookie draft and redo the first 20 picks. No surprise, there are some good picks in the first round, but in the second round…yikes. It was hard to finish @all. Last did not give us many “selectable” options for those second picks. But that's all part of the fun. Seeing you wins and seeing you busts. Enjoy! Relying on other people can be challenging The NFL schedule was released today 2023 Rookie Draft Redo Some recent draft selection trends we've seen

We couldn't wait to draft, so why wait on the review. We thought this episode would have been a short one until we realized we wanted to discuss some draft etiquette, active & attentive managers, and challenges for commissioners around draft season. Really just some whiny gripes that we try to turn into some positives, lol. Then we discuss our draft. Enjoy @All Office moves and replacement work trucks Rookie draft etiquette and active managers Some sneaky news that raises some ethical questions 2024 League rookie draft review
