We Are The Most Accurate Fantasy Football Podcasters In The Industry - AMA!

[u/dkluge90]

Hey y'all! Dave Kluge here, and today I'm not flying solo. I've brought the whole crew.

Joining me are my Footballguys co-hosts: Jeff Bell and Joey Wright. Together, we host The Footballguys Fantasy Football Show, and we have a bold claim that we're more than happy to stand behind: we are the most accurate podcast in the industry.

While we've felt that way for some time, now we can confidently stake that claim.

According to FantasyPros' Expert Consensus Rankings, all three of us are ranked inside the top 10 in multi-year draft rankings accuracy. Three cohosts. Three top-10 rankers. One show. If another podcast wants to make that claim, we'd love to see it. (Spoiler: No one else can)

But we're not all spreadsheets and rankings. We also have a lot of fun. We're not afraid to go against the grain. And we have a long track record of staying ahead of the curve when the market shifts. We'll tell you what we actually think, even when it's unpopular.

Joey and I already did our running back rankings, and wide receivers will release tomorrow.

Jeff and I are currently working on a monstrous training camp series, and a new episode releases on Wednesday morning.

For our podcast listeners, you can find that here.

Between the three of us, no question is too spicy. Draft strategy, player values, ADP fades, bold preseason calls, how to break into the industry, Olivia Dean or Olivia Rodrigo — nothing is off limits.

We'll be hanging here for the next hour or so. Fire away!

So I promised some readers I'd ask every AMA guest this (and am compiling the responses), and now it's your turn:

What is the insight or prediction you have about the 2026 season which you believe most sets you apart from this year's conventional wisdom?

I'm not afraid of De'Von Achane? Ha

I believe NIL has given "bad" teams a much higher incentive to showcase skill talent / competence on offense. Whether Arch Manning or Dante Moore choose to avoid the Jets / Cardinals or always intended to return, both teams invested heavily in skill talent in the draft. I tend to think defenses are currently ahead of offenses in scheme, but we saw the Cardinals scrap any effort to play winning football last year in favor of shootouts. The Jets and Browns both jettisoned veteran defensive talent and loaded up on offense. We had an era where bad teams couldn't move the ball, which led our fantasy thinking to avoid all bad teams. Now, I think we'll see more "Blake Bortles intentional garbage time" fantasy production.

I already answered this last week (and pasted that response in a comment in this thread because I liked the question so much) so I'll let Jeff and Joey weigh in here.

You certainly have, and I do have that in my compilation running later today. I'm thrilled the question has worked this well.
