8/12/25: Post-Hype Sleepers For 2025
You like sleepers! Who doesn't like sleepers? On today's podcast, we'll tackle a particular kind of fantasy football sleeper for 2025: the Post-Hype variety. These guys have been drafted higher in the past (sometimes much higher) than they're going this summer, and we think they have a chance to live up to prior lofty expectations. Let's count down the Post-Hypes! In addition, we'll talk about a few ranks changes we've made based on beat reports, plus we'll play a hilarious listener mixtape. Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Fantasy (@JameyEisenberg).
8/11/25: Film Room Zeroes & Profile For Davante Adams
Sometimes knowing which players *aren't* good is half the battle. On today's podcast, we'll count down our Film Room Zeroes for 2025: NFL players who simply didn't lay down very good film in '24. We'll draft *anyone* at the right price, but we're casting the side-eye at these particular players for fantasy football this year. We'll also read Davante Adams's Almanac profile and get invited to more zany stuff. Guest: Jim McCormick.
8/8/25: Acid Reflux All-Stars For 2025 with Cousin Josh
Just because drafting a player in fantasy football is stressful, doesn't mean we won't do it. But it's good to know what you're getting into! On today's show, the Prince of Darkness returns, and we count down our Acid Reflux All-Stars: players who might return great value or might tank our teams, but either way, we fear they'll give us the stress farts. Plus we'll talk about the latest NFL joint practices and some ranks adjustments we made overnight. Guest: Cousin Josh (@DetectiveFisch).
8/7/25: Film Room Heroes & Chuba Hubbard Profile
Sometimes you just wanna sit back and watch the players play. There are some insane athletes in the NFL, and some of them just have that little extra something that makes them glorious to behold. That's who we're honoring on today's podcast: the Film Room Heroes. They aren't necessarily perfect fantasy options, they might not even be draftable in some cases, but we've enjoyed watching them so much. Also: we'll read Chuba Hubbard's Almanac profile and review the news from the first round of NFL joint practices. Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.
8/6/25: Swing Players For 2025
High-variance players are tough! On the one hand, you understand how they can be important starters on your fantasy football team. On the other hand, it's terrifying to trust them! That's the conundrum we have when we think about Swing Players: players who have so much upside and so much downside that they can swing the results of your league all by themselves. That's our list today: Swing Players for 2025. Plus we'll review the news about Keenan Allen and some injured backup running backs, and get more invites to things! Guest: Jeff Erickson of Rotowire (@jeff-erickson.bsky.social).
8/5/25: Best & Worst O-Lines & Almanac Talent Grades
Offensive lines matter! Of course they do, they're the bedrock of NFL offenses, and the skill players we draft in fantasy football rely on their o-lines to produce big numbers. Unfortunately, we're not always great a *predicting* which o-lines will be great or disastrous. Then again, we didn't play o-line in the NFL! But today's guest did, and he'll list a few lines he's excited about and a few that give him pause. In addition, we'll talk through the latest NFL news, and also refer to some of the highest and lowest Almanac grades we gave this year. Guest: Ross Tucker of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast (@rosstuckerpod.bsky.social.)
8/4/25: Most Important August Storylines & Yacht Club Subscription Info
We spent July on the podcast going team-by-team and assessing the stories that will matter most for fantasy football in 2025, and how our opinions might change as a result. Today, we'll put it all together and come up with a list of the five August storylines that have the biggest potential to shift our ranks. Plus, we've got a bunch more invitations, we'll talk about the Almanac being ready to go, and starting today you can subscribe to the Yacht Club Podcast! Guest: Dave Richard of CBS Fantasy (@daverichard.bsky.social).
8/1/25: ALMANAC DAY & Big Announcement & NFC West Preview
Almanac Day is finally here! You can lay your hands on our Fantasy Draft Guide -- the 2025 Harris Football Player Profile Almanac. But that's not even the biggest news on today's podcast! We've got a doozy about the future of the show, and we hope we can get you excited. Plus *while* we're doing all that, we're also gonna talk some football! We're going to preview training camps for the teams of the NFC West: the Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals and 49ers...what will we pay attention to and what will we ignore as the buzz comes out of those August practices? Guest: Andy Behrens (@andybehrens.bsky.social).
7/29/25: AFC West Training Camp Previews & Zay Flowers Profile
Big questions loom in the backfields for teams of the AFC West. Will the Chiefs rely on Typewriter Feet Isiah Pacheco? Will Najee Harris's fireworks injury hand the Chargers job over to rookie Omarion Hampton? Will the Broncos tell us who's ahead between J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey? And will the Raiders mess around with a veteran like Raheem Mostert rather than handing over their entire job to rookie star Ashton Jeanty? We're not sure whether August beat reports will answer all these questions, but we'll talk about how our opinions might change over the next month on today's show! Guest: Ben Gretch of the Stealing Signals newsletter (@bengretch.bsky.social)
7/25/25: NFC South Training Camp Previews & Pod Nicknames Of Old
Fantasy Football is getting closer...and the noise is getting louder! We'll do our best on this podcast to cut through the NFL blather and focus in on the stories that matter for your fantasy draft. That means discussing how our opinions *can* and *cannot* change based on training camp and August beat reports. Today, we'll talk about the teams of the NFC South -- Buccaneers, Falcons, Saints and Panthers -- and how flexible our fantasy ranks might be depending on what news comes from those teams. Also: Isaac Guerendo's Almanac profile and we'll play a few of our favorite nickname sound drops from days of yore! Guest: Patrick Daugherty of Rotoworld (@rotopat.bsky.social).
7/22/25: AFC South Training Camp Previews & Ashton Jeanty Profile
Can Travis Etienne recapture the backfield in Jacksonville? Will Christian Kirk or one of the rookies emerge as the second target for C.J. Stroud? Is Tyjae Spears finally going to challenge Tony Pollard for primacy in Tennessee? Should we care who wins the QB battle between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones? We'll try and answer these questions and several more, as we look at training camps for teams of the AFC South. Which stories should we pay attention to in August, and which should we ignore? We'll do our best to divine which is which! Plus more listener invitations and an Ashton Jeanty Almanac profile. Guest: Jamey Eisenberg from CBS Fantasy (@JameyEisenberg).
7/18/25: NFC North Training Camp Previews & More Listener Invitations
What will Aaron Jones vs. Jordan Mason look like for the Vikings? Why is Bears NFL first-round pick Colston Loveland getting no fantasy football hype? What will John Morton's effect be on the Lions offense? Will Matthew Gordon rise above the mess of receivers in Green Bay? We'll tackle these questions and more as we preview what we might be able to learn in the training camps for teams of the NFC North. Also, we'll read George Pickens's profile in the upcoming Harris Football Player Profile Almanac, plus read more of your invitations. Guest: Jake Ciely from The Athletic (@allinkid.bsky.social).
7/15/25: AFC North Training Camp Previews & Tank Bigsby Profile
What will the Steelers' backfield look like in 2025? Is Kaleb Johnson ready to assume Najee Harris's old workload? How about the Browns' backfield? Quinshon Judkins is in the news for all the wrong reasons, but there are several other bodies (including rookie Dylan Sampson) who might get involved. We'll dig into these questions and more on today's podcast; we don't know the answers yet, but we can at least talk about what training camp drama we'll pay attention to, and what we'll let slide by unclicked-upon. Also: Tank Bigsby's profile in the forthcoming 2025 Player Profile Almanac! Guest: Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Fantasy and ReceptionPerception.com (@mattharmon.bsky.social).
7/11/25: NFC East Training Camp Battles
Your fantasy football opinions should be sticky! Right up until they shouldn't! It's a fine line, but we'll try and walk it as we preview what we'll be paying attention to in training camps for teams of the NFC East. Will the Cowboys definitively land on a running back? Is Cam Skattebo going to wind up being a legit threat to Tyrone Tracy? How should a Terry McLaurin holdout affect our rank of him? Do the Eagles have *anything* worth paying attention to in August? We'll dig into the ways we hope our opinions stick and don't stick in the coming months! Guest: Jimmy McCormick of ESPN Fantasy.
7/8/25: Welcome Back - AFC East Preview
We're back! Our 2025 NFL season coverage begins with a dive into the teams of the AFC East, with an emphasis on what we can learn and how our opinions can change during training camps. The Bills, Dolphins, Jets and Patriots all have uncertainty in their skill-position players, and in particular a couple of RB situations in this division bear close inspection as we prepare our fantasy draft strategies. Let's dig in! Thank you so much for coming back to the show! Guest: Dave Kluge of FootballGuys.com (@davekluge.bsky.social).
