Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

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! Guests: Scott Fish of Fantasy Cares and Pound Foolish winner Greg Berthiaume.

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! Plus we'll discuss the Packers' backfield in light of Josh Jacobs being placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo! Fantasy.

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. Plus we'll report on the great Portland book event for Pound Foolish, and reflect on the NFL news of the day. Guest: Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.

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 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.

There's been a lot of sunshine spread around about many NFL rookies heading into the 2026 season. Should you believe it all? Of course not! Should you believe some of it? Definitely! But which parts? We need an expert, and that's why we've got the best on today's show. We'll go through as many rookies as we can squeeze into one podcast, and talk about how they've performed thus far, and whether we think it'll continue into the '26 regular fantasy football season.

For the first time, we're cracking open ADP! Real actual drafts are starting right about now, and we really don't *care* what ADP says in freaking July! But now the data starts getting interesting, so we'll start combing through -- and that process begins today with a look at the first three rounds of ADP. We'll talk about each player and assess how much risk we think each player has, assigning a Risk Factor of 1 through 10. Plus updates on the hamstrings of Chuba Hubbard and Jordyn Tyson, and a winner for the Cousin Josh Mock Draft Pound Foolish drawing. Guest: Cousin Josh.

Today we'll talk about a particular type of fantasy football sleeper. A player who's gotten hyped in fantasy circles before, maybe even had "experts" pounding the table for them, but they kinda flopped. But now, as later-round picks, we think they have a chance to deliver on their former promise. It's Post-Hype Sleeper time! In addition, we'll review what happened in the week's joint practices, and declare another winner in the Pound Foolish bribery drawings. Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Fantasy.

If you love some players, that means you *don't* love others. And because our fantasy football evaluations are based on what we see on tape, we've got some Film Room Zeroes for you! These are players who either we think aren't very good, or at least we think their best qualities are somewhat overrated. We'll also give some updates on Malik Nabers, Luther Burden, Deshaun Watson and many others, and we'll pick another winner in our Pound Foolish bribery giveaway. Go pre-order now!

The Prince Of Darkness returns to the Little Podcast That Could, and he's bringing acid-reflux! Today we'll count down five players apiece who we aren't necessarily avoiding for fantasy football in 2026 because we understand what could go right, but we're also really *nervous* about drafting them because we very much understand what could go wrong. Plus we'll talk about Thursday's camp news, read Daniel Jones's Almanac profile, and bribe our first listeners who pre-ordered Pound Foolish! Guest: Cousin Josh.

Let's get heroic! On today's show, we'll count down some players we simply enjoy watching on tape -- they might not have perfect-looking 2026 fantasy football situations, but they're still terrific at what they do! And who knows: very often we're absolutely wrong about situations, and when we know who the good players are, sometimes it helps us find some good value. Plus we'll discuss Stefon Diggity signing with the Commanders, the Almanac, and some big Pound Foolish giveaway info! Guest: JJ Zachariason of LateRound.com.
