So weird that they prioritize posting to Apple Podcasts for the ad dollars, and not their own app for the ad-free subscribers. I can’t imagine why!

Hit or miss for me.

I listen to this podcast to get some insight on players for my fantasy teams. Chris and Jake are really informative. But Nando talks about the most stupid, least interesting, least relevant things. When he is hosting, I rarely listen to the whole podcast because his input is useless. Maybe you can get someone more professional to host this podcast in the future?

love the chemistry and banter between nando and chris..

More Nando and Vaccaro!!

Especially enjoy Nando and Vaccaro, it’s a fun listen

Why aren’t fantasy football podcast shows being dropped in The Athletic app anymore? What’s happening?

Vaccaro is what it’s all about. He is sharp and funny. His personality is what you imagine a great sports gambler to be like. You can see him sipping whisky, setting his waivers. He doesn’t take fools gladly. Not for casual fantasy footballers. This is for degenerates that eat and breathe fantasy. Vaccaro is always two steps ahead.

Not only is this the most informative and entertaining fantasy football podcast that exists but it’s my go to place to learn how many eggs Chris Vaccaro has and what’s his favorite kind of pie. Nando Difino is the greatest host alive. Please listen, subscribe, rate and review.

I decided to see if this would be another entertaining and informative podcast today. Instead they spent 15 minutes crying about twitter and the new ownership. “Now you really have to investigate what the blue check marks are saying.” Yeah, you should’ve been doing that before. Overall it’s not that entertaining and there aren’t any original takes. If you listen to other FFL podcasts then there’s no need to waste your time on this one.

Nando. You’re the reason I listen to this podcast. I think you’re f#<£!^& awesome. People should be greatly appreciative of you and all you do.

Nando Del Fino has the perfect voice, cadence, and energy for a podcast. Chris Vaccaro is the polar opposite to the extent that I can’t get through their episodes.

This group is knowledgeable and offers substance in a direct manner. The panel bantering is amusing as well. Keep up the good work!

Nando and Vaccaro are difficult to listen to, it is a waste of time, honestly. I have yet to get any meaningful analysis, which is what I am interested in. Feels like mostly awkward banter, feels like these dudes hate each other. Idk. Maybe I don’t get the humor. Overall, no matter who the host is, the vibe is sort of negative and pessimistic. Definitely not my fav Athletic pod.

New episodes aren’t put on the app that subscribers pay for anymore. The Athletic has completely fallen off a cliff.

I don’t know how you start a FANTASY FOOTBALL PODCAST week 1 of all weeks, Spending 10 min talking about movies. I stopped listening after that and won’t be listening again.

Great show. Chris is the bomb. But for the love of God - Nando is so odd and such a distraction. Wish he would just up and let Chris talk without interrupting him with awkward out of the blue comments

Would someone please rein in this boorish oaf (Ciely)? Zero humility, no insight into his own behavior, and he thinks he can win every argument by shouting louder than Funston. I want to listen because I frequently disagree with these guys so it’s a good way to check/clarify my own thoughts. But Ciely acts like such a massive jerk on most episodes to the point where I don’t want to listen anymore. Bring back Nando! That dude has a sense of humor, emotional intelligence, and respect for others’ opinions. ALSO: make this ad-free for those of us who shell out $80 a year or whatever it is for a subscription to the website. Three commercial breaks for ED pills in a 30 minute podcast?!? BARF.

Man I wish this guy wasn’t on these eps. Funston is pretty good and Ciely is aggressively mediocre, but Beller and his below average takes and cartoonish voice takes me completely out of these pods. I listen to nearly every fantasy football pod and these are always on the lower tier specifically because of Beller. This most recent pod with his 2010 level take on fantasy football formats was particularly abysmal.

Fellow ODU alum. You cut to the analysis quick and clean. Great job.

Chris has to go!!! The monotone delivery and grumpiness has me on the verge of unsubscribing. It’s so awkward listening to these guys try to take shots at each other - very cringeworthy rapport between these guys.

Jake is miserable every episode and has killed listening to this pod cast. I only listen now if the episode description Says he’s not on the show.

This is a must listen podcast for any serious fantasy players. Only request for improvement is that they bring back the timestamps in the episode description!

Really like the content but Jake made today’s episode almost unlistenable. Cheer up man. You get to talk about fantasy football for a living. At least act like you like it instead of complaining every time one of the guys asks you your opinion… “ugh just check the link” or “why don’t you warn me before you ask me something”. I’m going to keep listening but hope you’ll be better from here on out.

Aside from the lead podcaster here sounding like Kermit the Frog, this is a great Fantasy Football podcast

Good podcast but there is one guy who is monotoned and he doesn’t seem too invested in the podcast. He said he is more into baseball fantasy.

In the short time I’ve been listening to these guys I have really noticed a difference in my life. I’ve started making more friends, losing weight, I recently found a better job, and also a smoking hot girlfriend. I didn’t know that a fantasy football podcast could turn my life around, but this show certainly has done just that. Ciely, Funston, Beller, and the rest of the fellas are like family to me now. I can’t wait for them to meet my mom. She loves fantasy football, too. 5 stars

The athletic fantasy football podcast is one of the best with top notch knowledge of players and top notch accuracy rankings in fantasy pros takings competition.

These guys are all seasoned within the industry and leverage their beat reporters to help your fantasy team. Really one of the best and most unique pods out there for those serious fantasy players.

Great stuff! AJG SZN! Excited to tune in for more!

Helpful info.

Great show, love a good rousing discourse. And I agree, Tavon Austin was before his time.

One of the best in a genre full of talent.

Love this show and have learned a lot from each episode. But, Emory’s scout’s eye gives the format a different feel and is nice in between the waiver wire episodes and rankings discussions. We want him back!

Really enjoy the content and hosts on this one, especially the episodes with Michael Beller, who is one of the best in the industry.

I appreciate Jake and Moodys commentary on top of their Athletic articles, but wow I literally cringe when I hear this Nando guy speak. I skip any episode he is on. A host is supposed to guide and facilitate conversation. This washed up childhood bully instead derails and interrupts speakers who are trying to make good points, while bringing no substance to the listeners. Plus if I have to hear Jakey Jake one more time, I’ll snap. Rest of the podcast is 4.5 stars without this clown.

Disappointed with the new format. Had to turn it off after hearing “Jakey Jakey” for the twentieth time. Updated: Kudos for at least “considering” my feedback. Just a style difference on my part.

For the person who gave three stars for Nando saying “Jakey Jakey”, that is exactly why I tune in to listen to this podcast on Thursdays. Five stars for “Jakey Jakey”!!!

Whoever host the episodes with Eric Moody and Jake Ciely is really bad. No flow to conversation, constantly interrupts. Makes parts of the podcast just super awkward.

*** Best fantasy football podcast that does not feature 8-bit music. Shows with Nando and Jake are legit funny. I would follow this podcast into a battle parade!

I’ve been listening to ff podcasts for years. Everything from Matthew Barry to the CBS sports guys and it just kinda got old with the same shtick over and over again throughout the years. Glad I found these guys for something new. Entertaining and great analysis. Keep it comin’ fellas.

By far the best fantasy football podcast I’ve listened to in 2020. Great analysis, humor and voices to boot!

Really good fantasy stuff in here. Has no fluff, just the juicy fantasy scoops and numbers that I need

I feel more prepared after listening take this every week. Very informative and insightful. They get away from what most other fantasy pods do and keep you engaged, entertained, and capable of making the right moves. I recommend this to everyone.

I’ll be honest, if I could give them 4 and a half stars, I would. Not because of the pod, but because I’m mad at Jake for throwing shade at Appalachian State on the NFL Draft QB review pod. We were a top 20 squad the last two years thank you very much. I expect an apology. In all seriousness, I’ve always loved listening to Jake and Chris. And they’re even better together! Brad has some interesting takes but he brings a different type of experience and expertise that most analysts don’t have.

I have been following Jake since rotoexperts but he has muted me for some reason on twitter. I still follow his writing and podcasts. Chris is great knows his stuff and is extremely knowledgeable. Brad has some different takes than Chris and doesn’t go with the popular opinion which is great. All around great show with knowledge and entertainment. Hoping this also helps me get unmuted 😀

These guys have so much fun together, and their fantasy football expertise is elite. Highly recommend!
