Production value
Good lord I try to like this show but cmon the ads randomly smashed in mid-sentence? and even worse with a thunderous volume blast compared to how quiet the show speaking is? Makes it borderline unlistenable. It’s gotten so sloppy like how is this an espn show Edit: Stopping by again to just say GD please just try to mix the audio properly. It’s an audio only format- how can the standard be this low. Also how much time does it take to at the very least make sure commercials don’t smash in MID-WORD let alone mid-sentence. It’s so clear they don’t care

The ET of FF shows!
This show sort of like the Entertainment Tonight of a fantasy football shows… full of stars, but limited content! Dopp: quirky, good host, knows his ball 🏈 ! Stefania: prob the most useful info, injuries and recovery time! Clay: clearly the 🧠 of the ops, I love his stats! Field: TV star who brings the comedy to the show! Good prospect analysis! Loza: Likes to steal Field’s players, eschews facts to talk about feelings, oh and also the only host to score 1600 on the SAT!

Ok
Decent show. Particularly helpful if you use ESPN for fantasy. However, these people have absolutely no charisma and are actively irritating. If they dialed down the cringe and focused more on the topic at hand, this would be a much better show.

Solid
Why is Stefania so grumpy all the time?? Relax with the insecurity

Downfall
It’s draft season and I’m getting pointless Info. Unfortunately, as a long time listener I can no longer bear it. I’m not one to leave reviews but man after today’s episode(8/21/25) I actually went out of my way to leave this review and give 1 star. 🤮

Poor ad placement
The shift to pre-recorded randomly placed ads in the middle of the podcast are affecting my ability to follow along. I’ll be moving over to Matthew Berry‘s new outlet.

An informative mess
Great information. Terrible sound quality. Ads at VERY odd/unfortunate moments. Fix these issues and you’d have a top-notch podcast. Until then?…

Good show, but quiet
It’s a good show, it is kinda like a magazine for fantasy, slightly dated info. Worst thing is the show is ridiculously quiet. I don’t get why they produce the show so low volume

Drop dopp
Daniel seems nice but terrible voice/personality for fantasy. The show has gotten so bad I can’t even make it through more than 10 minutes of an episode
GronkyDong69
Ehh
I stopped listening when Matthew berry was still on cuz It was by far the worst fantasy pod out there.. decided to give it a couple listens after a while and it’s actually worse.. ads start in the middle of them talking, Daniel seems like a really nice guy, awful awful awful fantasy analyst.. to the new fantasy players out there, DO NOT take his advice.. you’ll tank your draft and it’ll be an uphill climb to get out.. field, mike, Liz, stefania are fine.. nothing special, nothing terrible.. it’s just disappointing that a pod hosted by ESPN is a bottom tier fantasy pod..

This studly guy
Not as good as it used to be
Field just talks over everyone and never provides legit reasons as to why he’s saying the things he says about players. Daniel can host but Field throws him off and doesn’t provide a ton of fantasy insight. This show NEEDS more Stephania, more Mike Clay, and somehow get more Tyler Fulghum. Field has really just gotten too irritating with his rants and explaining why he’s going on his rant and then jumping ahead of the topic before it’s even done. Field was good when he was second fiddle to MB because MB would keep him in check and make him clearly explain his reasoning. This podcast is falling way behind unfortunately. Update 8/15: FIELD SLOW DOWN MY GOODNESS, and stop speaking so quietly to be dramatic? Gotta stop. Daniel with the screaming… Provide some quality fantasy insight with facts (like Mike does, more Mike please). Field SLOW DOWN and speak normally. And Daniel, gotta drop “for what it’s worth”. It’s like 10 times an episode

Mid sentence Ad breaks
It is so amateur to not put ads in natural transitions. It’d be like me - are you a victim of a car crash? Call my law firm today! - entering random sentence into my thoughts. This show has gotten progressively worse. Just pull the plug because clearly this isn’t an investment ESPN wants to make.

Please get back to basics
The downhill slide of this pod has been ongoing for years now. Of course losing Berry was a blow, but all of the little production things that used to make it familiar and great have just disappeared. Start with basic production and editing, the sound is consistently poor, and the latest affront are the abrupt cuts to commercials without even having transitions. The show when from having jams like “she’s your favorite girl, she’s Stephania Bell” to sounding like it’s produced by a couple teenagers in a garage. Do better ESPN.

Once again I had to cut my listening experience short due to this Daniel Dopp guy screaming like a f-n 4 y/o toddler. Cmon dude, grow the F up

Pls ask Dopp to stop yelling :(

Disappointed
Very sad that Field continually uses the Lords name in vain and everyone laughs. You just lost a fan and a subscriber. I’ll get my fantasy football info elsewhere. Wow

Love the content and the banter, but the audio balance (Field is too quiet) and the awkward ad breaks need to be fixed!
PSU42Fan
Very hello ful
This show is very helpful to me and Daniel make the show very enjoyable and interesting
Crosballd
Good insight
Clay gives great insight into what u need to get an edge on ur league. Field gets on my nerves. He tries to be a comedian way too much. That may just be a me problem not Field, but sometimes he makes it tough to listen to. I’m trying to get past it because Field knowledge is fantastic. Daniel does nice job of moving things along & always thinks like we do.
BarelyMental
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.
Rutherp
“Yeah” x100
You guys have to stop with the “yeah” every 10 words.
desertrain55
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!
Deandabean67
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.
JoeyCezaleo
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!!
howdydoodaa
Please stop with the disco background music
I think it’s just during Liz’s segment. It’s awful. I turn it off instantly.
Deewonason
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.
Daveocch
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

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.
Fergrat2
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.
Rjherrin
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!
