The Primetime with Mason and Doug

The Primetime with Mason and Doug

Mason and Doug break down the Midwest Fantasy Football League - an extraordinarily niche podcast really only meant for 14 other people. I mean, download if you want to! The MFFL is a salary cap fantasy football league. We sign players to contract ranging from 1 year to 5 years - so teams establish a kind of identity. The MFFL features lineups with offense and defense, PPR, IDP, high scoring multipliers, and low scoring poorly set lineups. The league officially started in 2013. Mason and Doug break down the league to help inform our league owners the goings on in the MFFL and create a more immersive experience. We both like to throw out some fantasy football advice - but be advised - it's really focused on our league only.
