Terrible
This show has fallen off since Berry left.
Big R Review
Dopp has to go
I really like the structure of this show providing very relevant fantasy insight with some fun. However Dopp does not feel genuine and his overly enthusiastic attitude is way too much. He seems like a really nice guy, but he needs to tone it down. When Berry was on the show, he was mostly kept in check but there’s just too much of him now and I can’t listen to it anymore.

“Yeah” x100
You guys have to stop with the “yeah” every 10 words.

So good
This podcast is absolutely essential to being a newbie to fantasy in fact I’ve i’ve played for five years now and I still listen to this for tips. My favorite on the pod is definitely field, but I also like Daniel Dop and Stefania Bell. Keep it up guys!

Downhill fast
ESPN doesn’t care about podcasts anymore they let go of all their talent and thought they were replaceable. Matthew Berry, Bill Simmons, they are off doing their own thing and ESPN is slowly dying outside of PTI and live sports.

Drop Dopp!!
Daniel Dopp is the absolute WORST. Half your listeners have left and gone on to much better pods due to these super MID analysts like Dopp. #dropDopp
Also, trying to give this a shot again this year, but the small talk and ads has taken the first 6 minutes of the show away. It’s AWFUL. Get to the fantasy!!

Please stop with the disco background music
I think it’s just during Liz’s segment. It’s awful. I turn it off instantly.

Liz
Episodes with this lady are terrible. Get her off the show please. What a waste of excitement seeing a new episode just to have to listen to her. Shut off after one minute.
Jason Easter
Bring back Matthew Berry
This podcast is rough to listen to. Yates has good info, but the band of MID analysts around him are not funny and don’t provide worth while content.
BRING BACK MATTHEW BERRY!!!!
That dude was the GOAT of fantasy football content. Liz Loaza needs to not be spotlighted in any capacity. Keep Field Yates, bring back Matthew Berry and if you have to contractually keep Daniel Dopp…. That’s fine but make sure he knows his role as the third guy behind the other two.

Good show but Liz GTG
Liz talks too much about herself. The bragging gets tiring.

One last chance
Giving the show one last chance in early August. Have many other fantasy podcasts to pivot to. I am having difficulty connecting with Daniel and Liz as hosts. Field, Bell, and Clay are top notch.

Stop
Get these shows with Liz off the feed. My god what a waste

Football focus
Love Liz Losa but I’m disappointed to hear about everything but the NFL. I am ready for some football talk. I hope you start updating the show on regular basis

What happened to this show?
Did they just all die in a plane crash or did ESPN fall just pulled the plug cause it was so awful? I mean the only person on the show who is really worth listening to was that lady who brought you the injury reports I think her name is Stefania the other three clowns just try to outdo each other with dad jokes!

Loza!
Love the off-season pod!

Facts vs. Feelings
Why is this showing up in my feed under the guise of fantasy focus? Just stop.

Please put whatever this show is somewhere else
What is this? Why is this show in a fantasy football podcast feed? How do I unsubscribe to “Liz Loza talks about herself and then interviews some dude about random stuff.” I’m listening to this show for relevant fantasy football content. It feels like I’m third wheeling on a date between two status seekers talking about breaking in to the biz. Zero fantasy football content. Annoying conversation. Please put whatever this show is somewhere else.

Who is this annoying woman
Who is this new girl on here talking about herself all the time and anything that is not fantasy. It’s really ruined the show for me. Her voice makes me cringe.
Weeeoooooooooo
too much B.S.
Don’t care for their politics and their topics outside of FF. Just get to the fantasy analysis which they are decent at but i find myself skipping the first 5 minutes or more while they force humor and talk about other stuff we don’t care about.
Nauggg2122
the ads...
MY GOD, the ads. so many, thrown in out of nowhere. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU NEED??
bigffej
Very Good, not very funny
Great show. But too much forced humor. Not all good people are funny. Field
Really forces it. Good football analyst on the show. Promote him. But so annoying when you tell him to be funny. And annoying when he tries to play fake-dumb with his college degree.

Entertaining
Great podcast with a nice mix of personalities and perspectives. Most of the hosts have known each other for years now, and it shows. I have listened to every episode for years now. Some hosts are very analysis driven (Mike), others are more qualitative (Stephania), and then others are a bit more of a mix (Field, Daniel). I honestly listen as much for the entertainment factor, and to have a break from more serious things, as I do for the fantasy advice itself.
The only critique I have is that Daniel calls everybody his best friend all the time. This is something that grates me, personally, as if everybody is your best friend then nobody is, and the word loses all meaning. I know he addressed this recently, and plans to continue doing so.
Oh, and I guess the fact that they are hamstrung (rated G) by ESPN.

Help me stay
Listener since it was Berry and Ravitz in a closet underneath the stairs. I’d like to keep listening regularly, but it’s getting harder. Stephania and Mike are great. Field is good. Daniel seems like a wonderful person and was fun as a producer but can’t be the host. I don’t know how or why it happened but it was a mistake. Liz Loza is a tire fire. I’ll give it one more shot next season to see if things get tightened up, but that’ll be it.

Music during readouts is way too loud!
That’s all. Love the show. But this new music behind them while they are reading out stats is really distracting. Just tone it down a bunch. It could be a could touch if it wasn’t so loud. Thanks!

PLEASE STOP THE BACKGROUND MUSIC
I enjoy the podcast but for the love of god please stop the background music when doing analysis. It ruins the podcast
brizdashiz
Love It, But We Can’t See You
Update: PLEASE STOP THE NEW BACKGROUND MUSIC. It’s genuinely unbearable.
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.

Great pod, one suggestion…
Long time listener, love the pod…but PLEASE stop playing background music while someone is reading highlights. It’s distracting and unnecessary.

Audio mixing is really bad
The sound mixing is unbelievably poor. The listener will be listening to some analysis and then BAM— incredibly loud “background” music for no reason. I miss when this podcast was just a podcast, instead of repurposed audio from a TV program.
TDROK
Meh. Not top tier
It’s my 4th preference. Y’all have GOT to fix the background music/whatever that plays when yall switch sections. I understand this is probably coming from your live stream but it’s ridiculously loud/annoying
Killacam169
Miss the Pod
I’m struggling to not feel bummed out that there are not new episodes of this since last week. It’s been a daily listen for me the last 5+ years and miss the crew!
BigCheezAK
Meh
More and more I wonder what qualifies you to be a “fantasy expert“. Reading data from a spreadsheet? Knowing the right people to get you hired into an absolute gravy job like this? All of the information you get from this podcast, you can get much faster by spending about five minutes on the app. The show is fine, they tell you the stats and the rankings. It’s an easy enough listen when I don’t have to hear Daniel saying “for what it’s worth”, “vexing”, and “Joe Flacco” over and over.

If the Saints were the “Aint’s”, here’s what the Jets are…
Saints = Aints
Jets = Nyets (Russian for “no”, right?)

Too much banter & not enough news
Positives: it’s a daily show and it comes out on time. The format of the show is pretty consistent. The crew consists of a former scout, a data guy and medical professional allowing you to get different takes.
Negatives: the board bets between each of the crew, so much non-football talk, the excessive love of their favorite teams (SF & Det), and the former producer is now an analyst (who seems nice but is a fan like all of us which doesn’t make him qualified).
The fast forward button and playing at 1.25-1.5 speed was made for this show.

Hire new IT!
I keep seeing reviews about the sound. I only notice it with Stephanie so maybe just have her near the mic. I don’t watch videos so idk if that’s it. She’s great either way. Another reason to hire new IT, you podcast doesn’t automatically update to the newest episode, like every other pod does on its own, unless I go into the show itself the reload. You guys are ESPN. There’s no reason to have any issues besides ppls opionins of the staff or opinions. Having this many technical complaints as the WWL is definitely inexcusable

Lost a subscriber today
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. ✌🏼

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.

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

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

Audio quality…..
Love your content……when I can hear it. Commercials sound great. Show audio level is absurdly low.

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.

Has fallen from what it was.
Sad. There are many better options.
Use for news, not analysis
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
This studly guy
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.

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.

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.
