Fantasy Focus is the first podcast I ever listened to...I still listen and I listen to others, but I feel it prepares me well week in and week out...thank you foe the content, keep it up πͺπ½πͺπ½πͺπ½
Field Yates is a muppet mouth. I have to fast forward when he starts rambling on.
Field I just want my accountant to crunch #βs . I donβt what a non athlete take about real athletes. Just analytics all the other takes are based on what????
the mic/audio sounds really bad?!
I've been following Fantasy Focus Football for a while now, and I have to say it's been a game-changer for my fantasy football season. The insights, analysis, and expert advice shared here have really helped me make some strategic moves that paid off big time. https://www.eagleswing.org/texas/houston/professional-services/houston-packaging-solution I've got a burning question for the community: What do you think about the rookie running backs this year? There's so much hype around a few of them, but I'm not sure who's worth the investment in my fantasy draft. Any thoughts or recommendations? Looking forward to hearing your opinions and discussing all things fantasy football! https://smallbusinessusa.com/listing/houston-packaging-solution.html
Field! please stop trying to make "55" a thing. It's very off putting to hear someone else's bit being poorly delivered
This Dan fella is cringe as f
Still canβt get over how bad this introduction song is. Lol
literally such a bad opening song. still can't get over it lol.
Why do you act like you are talking to Mike Clay live? Pre recorded sound bites. Ridiculous. I won't listen again.
Ω ΩΨ³ΫΩΫ Ψ§ΫΨ±Ψ§ΩΫ
Tat guy talks like heβs telling a 4 year old a bedtime story. 8/10 cringy. Iβll just stick with the fantasy footballers.
Legend
I've listened to this from day one so I'm very sad to hear Matthew is leaving, but good luck and keep on dreaming.
βWowβ
I really use to love this show, but they talk so much in the beginning, I don't have much time to listen, I want to know about the player, they have time later to talk to each other. it took till 10 min before they talk about football.
can't listen to Barry for another season. Going to different shows. The rest of the crew is good, but Barry is annoying.
I benched clay pool on Sunday morning and put in Godwin. I had a choice of him or Higgins. Higgins hit, but Godwin did okay. Was a bit mad at myself as I ran Gibson in my flex, when I benched Gurley in place of B hill. I shouldβve left flex open. At least I have Henry too and had almost 100 off Gibson, Henry and kicker koo. Lol
Why do people feel the need to comment if they don't like the podcast? Why listen if you don't like it? Move on. I've listened for many many years and enjoy it. It makes no sense to download and/or listen to something you don't enjoy. SMH
Oh yeah! I grabbed Hill on waivers this week and have no shame running him in my TE slot.
