    Ian and Paul are an insufferable consortium of incompetence. Sorry Dwain, you deserve 5 stars.
    I meant what I said
  • squigana
    Hartiz has a big future
    Show is good. Seems like such a tough and over saturated field to establish yourself. Ian and Dwayne are good thorough hosts. Hartitz has a great voice and a genuine niceness to him. I think he’s got a great future in football. On the downside, tuesdays are brutal. The crew is annoying and at times tough to listen to. One of them were going off about why would the chiefs, bills and eagles play there stars because they’ve already clinched a playoff spot. These teams are fighting for the bye and home field. I’m surprised no one corrected him. I had to turn off.
  • NoleFan1123
    Good FF POD but…
    Please tighten up the weekly recaps..+90mins too long, keep to 60 mins max
  • A_Train432
    Horrible Audio
    Audio is borderline unlistenable on several episodes
  • Al is The man
    September 6 audio issues
    More tinny and bad audio on the episode today.
  • Remake iTunes
    Good show, make it louder.
    Hey guys, I love the show and the info you share. However, your audio is recently very low volume compared to all the other podcasts. I have to crank up my headphones a lot, so when your episode ends I get blasted. Take a look at it please! Looking forward to the season!

    Accuracy Rankings
    This podcast is definitely entertaining, and their utilization reports are quite helpful for specific positions. However, if you're looking for reliable rankings, you might want to look elsewhere. Freedman is the only one who consistently ranks well in accuracy, but unfortunately, he's rarely on. When he does appear, they don't give him much opportunity to share his takes, which is a real shame.
  • PaulMoore101175
    Best in a large market
    Absolutely the best in the business. Great info and banter with minimal commercial interruptions #1 Only problem is they don’t think the Patriots are going to dominate this season 🤣
  • Lefties are Deceptive
    Great info
    Actionable info in a concise format. I digest a lot of fantasy football and baseball content to support my high stakes efforts. Mr. Hartitz is absolutely the most enjoyable dude I listen to. What an extremely talented guy, who obviously loves fantasy football. Great job!!!
  • Sports fan guy 27
    Great content, but please fix the audio!
    This is the only pod I listen to where the audio regularly cuts out or distorts. Please fix it!
  • Markbeede1
    Good but slow
    This is a really good podcast with some great info for your fantasy teams. My only complaint is the pods with Ian and Dwayne feel so long. An hour feels like 2.5 for some reason
  • Dgrundy
    Amazing free fantasy content.
    Ian and Dwain (especially) are so great at what they do. Stop listening to a bunch of different analysts and just focus on these guys! They’re the perfect combination of expertise and entertainment, plus a few well timed laughs (beware the murderous Girl Scouts!).
  • Iota's
    Confusing and best ball focused
    The hosts are solid and typically good advice but it’s hard to follow their strategy. Don’t know what happened but the focus on best ball is a bit much. We are almost at the end of August and the content is focused on best ball. In early August the hosts would often mention that strategy and ADP would change once redraft season gets here, but here we are and still the focus is still on best ball. When redraft seems like a focus, best ball is still mentioned and the hosts don’t clarify whether they are distinguishing between best ball and redraft. I listened to the podcast because I loved Ian and Dwain when they were with PFF, but, they as well as the other podcasters, have really disappointed me for redraft season. They’re great podcasters and fantasy football players, so I hope they can take a step back and rethink their approach.

    Sharp
    I like Mathew Berry. Him got a good fantasy brain.
  • Harris_Blum
    Dwayne & Ian are the best FF duo in the industry
    I’ve followed Dwayne and Ian for a few years now. They are fantastic together. They not only provide key insights and analysis, but also have great chemistry together. Marcus and Chris are great too.
  • gdnxigwbwoxgggekwgzh
    Championships are won here
    These guys CRUSH!!! Solid advice that’s guys!!!
  • TMikeMac
    Ian and Dwain are the best
    Entertaining and accurate. One of my favorite pods.
  • 22_Dova_22
    The greatest fantasy minds
    Getting Dwain and Ian to come over from PFF was a boon for this podcast. Dwain has the most objective, unbiased mind in the fantasy industry. Following his draft strategy has consistently placed me in the top quarter of my league every time since following him a couple years ago. Couldn’t give this a better rating if I tried.
  • therealescapegoat
    Great Podcast!
    So freaking stoked to find these guys again! Good info and fun to listen to.
  • Aksully
    Harwitz Ruins Another Podcast
    The minute I heard his scratchy rapid foul talking voice I was sadly done with Fantasy Life. Before then this was the best podcast for fantasy football period. Now it’s an unsubscribe for me. Just as when he took over at PFF and ruined that. He wants to swear almost every other sentence and often it comes through. Coupled with he talks so fast you think he’s late for somewhere else. He’s the last person I thought Fantasy Life would hire and put front and center for their podcasts. His foul comments he makes involving women is a showstopper for me. I’ll be back to what was the best podcast if they ever remove him. Surprised Matthew Berry would want someone like this on the team. So long for now Fantasy Life Podcast and please don’t put him on you SiriusXM show with Kendal or Pete!
  • Ghostpong
    Dwain and Ian back together!!
    It’s so nice seeing Dwain and Ian pop up on my feed again.
  • Bartleby the Cat
    Where Dwain goes, I follow
    Baseball stats tell a fuller story than football stats. That’s one reason fantasy baseball is more predictable than fantasy football. However, in the 1990’s Billy Beane revolutionized baseball with his understanding of what were the most important stats and which stats were overrated. That ushered in the era of analytics across all the major sports. IMO, Dwain is the closest thing to Billy Beane in fantasy football. His understanding of utilization makes his analyses and opinions more important than other analysts. I listen to lots of podcasts and I follow lots of analysts. I take into account their conclusions. I give Dwain’s conclusions and rankings equal weight compared to the combined conclusions of all other analysts.
  • Apophyllitees
    Dwains content is top notch
    I was extremely let down when I heard Dwain was leaving PFF. This show is just as good. It’s usable information, not just opinions. Top Notch content! Thanks for your hard work!!
  • Travioli 63
    Great content, terrible audio quality
    Really was looking forward to this show but you need to figure out the audio quality. Not only the breaks in audio, but the sound quality as well.
