Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

Have we mentioned how much we love it once the games are underway? We get to actually change our opinions based on...reality! And that's our main topic for this Friday episode of the Little Podcast That Could: players we've seen in action that we now believe we were either too *low* on or too *high* on before the season started. Plus we'll review the Bills doing whatever they wanted Thursday night against the Lions, and we'll talk about the injuries you'll be tracking in advance of Week 2. Guest: Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.

Post-Week-1 is simply the best time of year. We get to ground our fantasy football opinions in actual game film, and adjust our expectations accordingly. For Week 2, we'll do our best to tackle some of the most difficult-to-rank players and make your lineups a little easier. Plus we'll preview the good Thursday night Lions/Bills matchup, submit our entries for the weekly DFS contest, and read your snarky emails in a snarkbag. Big fun!

The Chiefs surely looked great on Monday night while thumping the Broncos, but it was a different kind of great, centered around the running back and not the quarterback. We'll discuss that one, and many more games from Week 1, trying to give you an edge in your fantasy football league. Then we'll spin it forward, and begin talking about Week 2, with a look at the Week 2 waiver wire. Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

Is your mind palace shattered? It should be! Week 1 always gives us so much new information about what the NFL teams actually are, if only we'll take the time to watch the games. And around here, that's what we do! We've got eight of the Sunday contests fully reviewed on today's podcast, hopefully giving you insight that goes beyond box scores and silly metrics. What offenses look better than expected? Where are the land mines? We'll do our best to tell you both! Guest: Sam Gold.

Is your mind palace shattered yet? Two games in, and we already have to reassess what some of these "great" teams actually are. The Niners destroyed the Rams Thursday night, and in particular that vaunted L.A. defense looked super-mortal. We'll try and draw some conclusions by watching the game film, we'll review the injury news that matters for Week 1, and then we'll take one final long look at the football uncertainty this weekend holds, and we'll describe the things that are freaking us out for fantasy football!

We got football that counts! We get to start interpreting what these NFL teams actually are! Patriots/Seahawks was not exactly a barn burner, but we got some clarity on Jadarian Price's role and a couple injuries that matter, plus Drake Maye blew this game so badly that he might just be on a Fraud Watch. We'll talk through it all, plus we'll think about your Week 1 fantasy football lineups with a little Flexual Healing nostalgia, and assemble some lineups for your DraftKings DFS in Week 1!

We're putting this episode of the Yacht Club into the main feed, so everyone can get a taste! Today we'll mostly spend time on Week 1 ranks, and pick out players where injury or weirdness of short-term situation might cause us to put them lower (or higher?) in our weekly ranks than they were in our draft ranks. It's a fun list of guys, and hopefully we can help you build Week 1 fantasy football lineups. We'll also preview the Wednesday night Patriots/Seahawks opener, update the movie draft results, and say thanks for making Pound Foolish a best seller!

Welcome back from the long weekend, we've got so much to do! We're going to survey our teams and talk about the players *we* drafted most (the top guy may surprise you!). We're having a look at the Week 1 waiver wire to discuss players we'll have our eye on once the games start counting. And we'll have our grand prize Pound Foolish winner on the show to take over and talk about whatever they wanna talk about. It's big fun!

We've finally reached the biggest fantasy football draft weekend of the year! We know: you're ready! The reason we know? Because there *are* no right answers! Anyone who tells you they're positive about anything is lying! The NFL re-invents itself every year. So be a little nervous, that's fun, but don't stress too much. On today's show, we'll deliver that message of calm, and also hand out the hardware for this fantasy draft season. Guest: Cousin Josh.

We're getting close to the end of fantasy football draft season, and our tradition is to turn a pod episode over to you! We'll take *your* questions all show on things NFL-related, fantasy-related, literary, Tom Petty and belly-button. Plus, Pound Foolish *is* actually a best-selling book (by some metrics), and we'll celebrate that a little bit. Thank you so much, from the management team at Cumulative Press.

*** PLEASE NOTE THERE'S A BIT OF BAD LANGUAGE AND ADULT SUBJECT MATTER IN THIS CHAPTER *** This is Chapter 21 from the audiobook version of my new novel, Pound Foolish. Here's a description of the book: Part locker room chronicle, part neo-noir, all American: Pound Foolish tackles a season-in-the-life of a pro football team that has a serial killer in its midst. Someone is murdering women in the orbit of Detroit's NFL franchise. But also: a new season is kicking off and nobody can really prove anything. Plus football is one of the last remaining ties that bind a city. So...the games will go on. And they should. Right? Enter our gumshoe. Mouse Morrison is a former player the team brings in to investigate. The further Morrison digs into the locker room-and the more lunkhead players we meet on their journeys of supremacy and self-destruction-the stronger a stench of conspiracy becomes. Is this a coverup? How deep within the franchise and the league does it go? The team keeps winning games. The bodies keep piling up. The whole mess bleeds from the sports section to the front page, nobody's sure what to believe...and absolutely everybody has an opinion. Pound Foolish is a rollicking, cinematic murder mystery set in a multi-billion-dollar circus teeming with killers. It pulls back the curtain on a sport that grips America's psyche, and also owns a bloody chunk of its soul. If you'd like to order the paperback or ebook, you can do it here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/pound-foolish-christopher-harris/6e3d12e8ee8b65a6?ean=9798234047892 If you'd like to get the audiobook, you can get it here: https://open.spotify.com/show/6wRV8qnMzB7d73Iuf9w7NA Or anyplace else you get audiobooks (except Amazon, until next week) ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

It's a great time of year to reflect on the assumptions that underpin some of our ranks. We certainly have built up our mind palaces for what the 2026 NFL season will look like, and just as certainly, those palaces are about to be shattered. Which players are we worried we've got wrong? We'll talk about that on today's pod. Plus: it's Pound Foolish publication day. I'm freaking out. Guest: Ben Gretch of the Stealing Signals newsletter.

You need strategy help in the double-digit rounds? We've got you covered! We'll simply give you a list of players whom *we* have been taking late in fantasy football drafts. Some high-upside flyers, some safer veterans who can smooth out risk...these are lists of guys we actually have drafted regularly!

Today's show features players you mostly shouldn't draft! That's because we're talking about *really* deep sleepers. For various reasons, they're probably buried on the NFL teams' depth charts, but we'll give them a nod as potential early-season waiver adds and/or deep-league late-rounders and/or dynasty adds, because something about them (talent, career arc, situation) intrigues us. Plus an update from the end of the Pound Foolish World* Tour. Guest: Jake Ciely of The Athletic.

Today's episode is about "safe players," but of course, there's really no such thing. What we're really discussing is roster construction, and the players we tend to use as safe harbor because of their unusually high floors, given when you can draft them. We might not be exactly *right* about the nature of these players' risk, but it's a fun conversation that can help you figure how to build your 2026 fantasy football team.

It's time to get busty! We're going negative today, identifying some players we absolutely wouldn't select at their current ADPs. It doesn't necessarily mean we think they stink (though it can!) and it doesn't necessarily mean they can't hit their upsides (though we doubt they will!). Mostly: these are players whose downsides are scarier than the market believes, or whose upsides feel more capped than the market desires. Plus Ashton Jeanty's injury, Nick Chubb's retirement, a great mixtape and news from Tacoma! Guest: Patrick Daugherty of Rotoworld.

Let's finish the countdown of our 2026 Flag Players list. These are the guys we're most interested in drafting in fantasy football this year, given their combination of talent, opportunity and potential draft value. Then we'll move right on to the Frag Players, in which we do the opposite: we're listing players we absolutely don't want any part of in '26. Guest: Cousin Josh.

The Flag List begins today! That means we're making ourselves pick *TEN* players whom we recommend drafting at their current values. Anyone can proclaim they "love" a wide range of possible draftees. We're putting flags in the ground and making these ten players our essentials for fantasy football in 2026. Also: let's evaluate our own suppositions about situations! What offenses might we simply have wrong, that might torpedo (or elevate) certain guys in our ranks? Guest: Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Fantasy and ReceptionPerception.com.

What if the Dolphins aren't the worst offense in NFL history? Chris's Offenses He Might Be Wrong About: 5. What if the Jags are the Jags of the first 8 weeks last year? 4.

What if the Dolphins are competent?

It's finally time to start looking at fantasy football value for 2026! That process begins with us cracking open Average Draft Position, which we'll do on the show today. What are we most surprised by when it comes to what actual drafters are doing in fantasy leagues so far in '26? We'll tell you, plus we'll talk about injuries to Breece Hall, Emeka Egbuka, Jordyn Tyson and Kyle Monangai, and the Colts signing Keenan Allen. Guest: Dave Kluge of FootballGuys.com.
