Welcome to your crash course in fantasy football—the game that makes Sundays way more dramatic. We’re joined by Jake, our resident commissioner and repeat guest, to break down everything beginners need to know: draft strategies that actually work, why kickers are your last pick (always), and how trades can make or break your season. We unpack the lingo—PPR, busts, sleepers, flex spots—and share the funniest league punishments and trash talk moments. Whether you’re here to dominate your draft or just avoid embarrassing yourself in the group chat, this episode is your playbook for fantasy football success.
