    Veteran’s Day Sunday Show
    Shout out to Daniel for sharing his personal views of what patriotism means to him. We need more high profile people sharing their views that it’s ok to accept and love all people. I’m a big fan of the show and use it to help me plan my weekly fantasy strategy. I love the comradely between the analysts. I’m not a fan of the shows where the analysts yell at one another.

    Could not stand Daniel using Veterans Day to spread his little woke message. What absolute nonsense. He may as well have said, “I voted for Kamala and I watch CNN every night.” Thank you to every veteran and I know plenty that feel the same way as I do. So tired of that democratic “white men are bad “ rhetoric. We come here to listen to football info not here some lefty whine. Disney and ESPN can have it. I’ll just check the rankings online. ✌🏼
  • JosephGabrie
    Needs improvement
    The quality of the show has dropped this year, Mike and stephania are holding the fort, wish we can have them all week

    Fun Show, Useful Info
    I don’t understand the negative reviews! This is the best fantasy show, imo. The intel and advice is super helpful in setting my lineups. I haven’t noticed the sound issues that others have pointed out. No issue with the show being formatted like a tv show because it *is* a tv show. And I kind of like the little theme songs for each of the hosts. If you don’t like the song, just skip ahead. Problem solved.

    Love It, But We Can’t See You
    New listener and first-time reviewer. I’m a fan. It’s fun, good personalities, thematically positive and upbeat, and, of course, solid fantasy advice. That said, I have a few (hopefully, actionable) pieces of advice/requests/criticism: - Please, no more games (or other segments) that require visual participation. I understand this show is both a podcast and a TV show, but the “imposter” game—or whatever it is as supposed to be?—was pretty unbearable. Please consider the audio-only portion of your audience when planning the segments. - Field, stop interrupting everyone so often. It’s off-putting. - Daniel, love your energy, but please do a bit more homework. - This goes mostly for Field (and maybe Daniel) but should apply to everyone: Stop the occasional glaze-fest where you go on and on about so-and-so’s virtues. When overdone, it just feels performative/disingenuous, or at best, too much. - Stephania and Chris - No notes. Love the show, but there’s always room for improvement, especially with the attention to your listeners.
  • Gamingguyx
    Good advice, terrible sound mixing
    I'm not sure it's just this podcast as most things owned by Disney seem to have fallen flat on audio quality and good mixing. I love the advice this team gives, and there's a ton of podcasts out there for fantasy now. But for all that is loveable, sound engineers, please learn how to use a compressor and gate properly. And if it's an issue with how the analyzers are setting their levels, then help them. Any time Stefania is on and speaking I can barely hear her or the gate is set so terribly that it cuts her off. Everyone else's levels seem okay but they also vary week to week. Summary - good advice, audio engineering terrible
  • B-dubb87
    Volume control!!!!
    I don’t hate this podcast but I also don’t love it. It’s my fill in podcast. When I am caught up with my other podcasts I don’t miss I will check these guys out. My biggest issue with them is there terrible volume control. One minute I can barely hear what they are saying with my volume maxed out and the next minute I’m fumbling to turn it down because all of a sudden the volume spikes. I would rate them higher if they were professional enough to get this straightened out. Other than that they are pretty knowledgeable and have good takes. FIX YOUR VOLUME CONTROL!!!!!! Thanks
  • smer10s
    Audio quality…..
    Love your content……when I can hear it. Commercials sound great. Show audio level is absurdly low.
  • tusbtusb
    Someone PLEASE teach Mike Clay some grammar!
    Stephania Bell’s injury analysis is first rate, and Field Yates brings a lot of good insights from real football into the fantasy world. But for goodness sake, would someone PLEASE tell Mike Clay to learn proper use of the words “them” and “those”? Them is NOT an adjective, and should never be used as such! Say “one of those guys”, not “one of them guys”! He does it probably 6-10 times on every show, and it just makes him sound like an uneducated doofus. And he’s the stat guy, so he’s supposed to project an image of being educated. His constant misuse of the language makes this show really hard to listen to.
  • Use for news, not analysis
    Has fallen from what it was.
    Sad. There are many better options.
  • This studly guy
    More Liz!!
    LOVE when Liz loza was on and gave insightful and fun fantasy advice!! Would absolutely kill for Mike clay and field to kiss on camera tho, gollllleeeeeyyyy that would be amazing
  • DynastyGuru
    Liz and Dopp are cringe
    Longtime listener, shows been going downhill ever since MB left. Please stop with the pointless games and irrelevant life discussions. I’m sorry but no one cares about your personal life, we care about FFB analysis. Liz and Dopps takes are so obvious and clearly fed to them. Really enjoy Field, SB and MC but Liz and Dopp make me stop listening the second they start speaking their incompetent nonsense.
  • Oyster Shellz
    Fantasy Imposter 9/24
    Was a really bad segment. I may actually have to put this podcast down for a little while after having to listen to that. Don’t get me wrong I switched it off as quickly as I could… listened to like 30 seconds max. Didn’t matter because the damage was done. I can’t un-hear that guys.
  • Less Dopp… please
    Ten Year Listener
    If I hear that ridiculous Dopp bumper coming in/out of commercial breaks one more time… sheesh. The only one that gets played now on a daily basis, btw. It’s unbearable. I’m assuming it’s added in post but how this has morphed into his personal playground is beyond me. Someone. Anyone. Stop this foolishness. Never thought I’d miss Berry. I like when things evolve. Rarely stuck in the past. I’m not even now. But this guy has subtly made this look like his baby. He’s cool in doses but man… less Dopp. PLEASE.
  • Dbrew41
    poor hosting
    I loved this show for a long time been listening since 2011 and I loved the good times and transitional times as we away from Nate to field. It still flowed however once Matthew left it losts it’s way it feels like. Yes Matthew brought banter and derailed often. But Daniel just seems to not hit mark with being the main host and I can’t understand his analysis. nothing against him as a person just he doesn’t seem like a good fit for that role. Not that my opinion matters but I just wanted to vent I guess. It is no longer in my podcast rotation
  • akoehlbeats
    Solid Insight / Poor Quality
    Time to update the mics or talk to the sound person.. can hear a low hum throughout every show and mic quality is subpar especially for a show sponsored by ESPN.. time to put some of that revenue into boosting show quality. Go talk to sound people over at the Fantasy Footballers for advice. Appreciate the insight and conversation though minus Field constantly interrupting everyone.
  • Chona312
    Field’s Commentary
    Field’s jokes and commentary are making this show un-listenable. I’m saying this a real fan of the show that has been listening for over a decade.
  • DaveSoCalHB
    Field is the new #1 show derailer
    I’ve been listening to the show for years. I love Daniel because he moves the show along, I love Stephania for her professional perspective which gives actionable advice. I love Mike because he has clearly done an immense amount of homework which also translates to actionable advice. My least favorite segment is “what’s currently on Field’s mind”. He’s taken the role over from Matthew as the show’s #1 derailer and someone you have to tolerate in order to get fantasy advice. From the song he listened to on the way in, to a cute story about his kids, to who is currently mad at him on social media. It’s all neat stuff if we’re sharing a beer but I have a short commute or a short workout so please just get to the show. It seems like he’s cultivating a resume or a presence so he can move on to the next rung in the ladder, but that’s not why we’re listening. I feel the show would benefit if Field was promoted to whatever rung he’s aiming for, and the show could go on with people who are strictly interested to sticking game breakdowns and fantasy advice. I appreciate what you guys do, I want to be excited to listen to each episode. It’s been more and more of a struggle. I listen to other fantasy shows, and this is the one now that I’ll only listen to if I’ve listened to all the others or if I know stephania or Mike will be on. I like Daniel, but if I know it’s just Field and Daniel on that episode, I’m out. Thanks for reading my feedback.
  • I like podcasts too
    Used to be great
    Yates, bell, and loza are great but they seem to be not utilized as much. Way too much dopp and clay
  • J49fenn
    How can’t they figure the microphones out?
    The show is ok, not the best takes but some nice to hear different takes. The ads are just thrown in there now, in the middle of conversations with no cuts which is just wildly unprofessional. The one thing I can’t understand is how they keep turning their heads while still talking, so the audio is barely able to be heard. It’s laughable they sit have this figured out. Don’t turn your head and still talk like this isn’t recording a podcast.
  • Kip88
    Love the show!
    Would be five stars if they would fix the audio. It’s been screwed up for awhile. I don’t understand with all the money ESPN has it can fix the audio issues.

    Fantasy Focus Five Star Football
    Long time listener, first time rater Field said he hadn’t scene the ESPN AI give a draft grade of D, but I received one! Here is the roster ESPN gave a D to in a 14-team Non-PPR league: QB: Jayden Daniels RB: DeVon Achane RB: Zamir White WR: Tyreek Hill WR: Marvin Harrison Jr TE: Trey McBride Flex: Amari Cooper D/ST: Houston Texans K: Younghoe Koo Bench: Jonathan Brooks Bench: Brian Thomas Jr Bench: Khalil Shakir Bench: Caleb Williams Bench: Romeo Doubs Thanks for the advice and let’s hope this team outperforms the ESPN AI expectations!

    So grateful that you guys have a family friendly podcast, very hard to find in the Fantasy Football genre. Keep up the good work

    Sounds like she’s in a bathtub.
  • Radioluver1975
    Drop off
    This show has really dropped over the last two years. Contstant apologies any time there is a slight criticism of a player. Dopp is very difficult to listen to. Please let Field drive the show again.
  • t-6 deeds
    Crazy or not

  • Ward.Jones
    Way too much fluff
    Insanely good analysts, but often 12-20 minutes of nonsense/fluff that needs to just go. Came for fantasy insights
  • Taylor43335
    Fire Stephania what a waste of money
    This dumb woman actively makes the podcast cringe and terrible why is she still on this podcast!? She knows nothing about fantasy and her “injury analysis” is laughable….fire this overpaid leech
  • adlov
    Still here and loving it
    Hey everyone been a listener for 12 years and still loving the show but I’d really love just one occasional episode specifically talking dynasty only
  • Disappointed in new team
    Projections segment
    Obviously doesn’t work on podcast. Can’t follow without whatever numbers you are projecting on screen. Do better!
  • Jeff CBC
    Update this podcast!
    This is so budget! They are using the same antiquated format since Matthew Berry was on it. In fact his pic is still posted and he hasn’t been on in years. Also, the advertisements cut right into the conversations without warning. Isn’t there a program director or something??
  • juliesaddler
    J K Dobbins
    My review is a question. What can we expect if anything what are we going to see from Dobbins this year. Released? Won’t play? Stud some how? You guys are awesome keep up great work
  • Ramulous
    Please stop
    Please stop having any shows without Field Yates and my goodness please give us less of Daniel Dopp. He seems like a decent guy but jeez he’s so corny.
  • ScottBD
    The 8 ball says “Try again later”
    Been listening since the TMR/Nate/PodVader days. And appreciate the attempt (perhaps need) to shake things up, bring others in w/ other lenses, but it does end up sounding like a lot of unnecessary singing the praises of others. I’m sorry to say this is no longer my go-to podcast for fantasy content. Doesn’t mean I won’t still tune in sometimes, but hoping for better.
  • JimmyInReview
    Daniel dopp stop drop open up shop
    Daniel a g man dude is the best
  • Thayern97
    Finally stopped listening
    Not a lot of good takes. Half the show is usually field and sooo bashing mike clay or salivating over Liz. Feels creepy
  • Fantasy football 4 life100
    Field Yates CA all-time bad take
    Ekeler over mccaffrey preseason take is ridiculous. Every casual fan knows mccaffrey is an all-time great and mccaffrey wouldn’t actually give time to Elijah Mitchell under normal circumstances. Thank you Stephanie bell. Second, kupp is indispensable in the rams playoff run. Field Yates assumed Sean Mcvay and the rams would be out of the playoff race by now and therefore one of the best receivers in recent fantasy memory would be of no concern. Field Yates was so wrong about the players in California that I really question his takes on players around the country.
  • RblackDC
    Field… lay off the caffeine…
    …or whatever other substance you might be using — but with your constant insufferable interjections and interruptions with whomever you're hosted with (co-hosts or guests), I'm done. Unsubscribed.
  • DerrFreemz
    No good
    Poorly done
  • BuffVevery1
    Favorite Fantasy podcast!
    I’ve been an avid Fantasy Football manager for a few years, and I have tried listening to different podcasts, but this one is my favorite! It’s made me a better manager, and it doesn’t have the bro-y vibe that others do. As a listener, I don’t feel like I am being talked down to, or that content is going over my head. If you’re new to Fantasy Football, or if you are a woman who is interested in a podcast that will make you love the game more, this crew is perfect!
  • Babytiger123
    More, Field, Clay, Bell MUCH less Dopp please
    With all due respect, Dopp does an ok job bringing up questions that everyday fantasy players have, but WOFF on a lot of his takes. Who to start, rankings, and things like that I am getting very hesitant to trust and a lot of his ideas are not stat based like Field and Clay. The one and only take you need for proof. Start Zack Wilson over joe burrow….. burrow went off, Wilson didn’t score ten points. Shocker Also gotta say I kind of like last year format to the show. I know you guys had game previews and they were Sunday afternoon or late Monday Sunday Thursday night. Those while it is good to get an initial take I see why you got rid of them but the shadow report clay use to do and how little he is on the show now is a bit of a bummer because him and field together make a good team and they are both stat guys. Feel like this year it’s only skimming the surface on a ton of fantasy news and players you could be talking about. Keep up the good work. I know a lot of that was negative but hopefully it’s constructive. Nov 27th best episode of the year!!! No Daniel, Mike and Field on point with pulse mixed in 💯
  • Marbella Capital
    Only Mike Clay
    Is worth listening to since Berry left. There is still no chemistry between the analysts. The cadence is too fast. it doesn’t make things more riveting to me. It just gives me a headache. I’m sure Field is highly qualified to talk about football (not so sure about Dopp’s claim to credibility to be in the same conversations actually). However, I think the main issue is that the show does not gel and there’s no fun… it all feels a little forced frankly.
