The Best Defense is a Great Defense
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
Our fantasy teams are off to a slow start a third of the way through the season, but all-defense is a bright spot for some reason. It turns out we're dealing with a historic amount of injuries and bye weeks are about to make it even more interesting. We also look at the NFL teams off to slow and quick starts and try to figure out if they'll continue. Twitter: Bluesky: Music: Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter

Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
The injury bug has officially struck with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Jaxson Dart, Nico Collins, Dallas Goedert, and so many more going down in week 2. Weather also affected several games and we saw power swings in the NFL standings. We are trying to figure out what to do with our fantasy teams after a couple tough weeks and what we think of teams like the Colts, Buccaneers, Chargers, Texans, and more.

What Did We Learn From Week 1 In The NFL
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We got our first real action and look at NFL teams for the 2026 season. Since the first week is known for overreactions we try to figure out what we can actually know from the results of week 1. Are the Bears, Giants, and Jaguars true contenders after big wins? Are the Chargers and Rams frauds after getting upset? Why are the reactions wrong about the Broncos, Saints, and Buccaneers? We try to figure it all out, but it's still just the first week. Twitter: Bluesky: Music: Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter

Big Ole Predictions for NFL Kickoff
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
It's finally time for real NFL football. We go over how our remaining drafts went, which players we've been drafting more often, which teams we've been avoiding getting players from, and the swings we're taking on sleepers. Then we get down to business and guess how the season is going to go. Who will be the top teams, worst teams, surprises, and Super Bowl winners? We have no idea, but we enjoy trying to figure it out.

Super Bowl LX Reactions and Offseason Preview
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
Sam Darnold and the Seahawks are Champs, and we give our thoughts on the big game. The only surprising part may be how accurate we were about how the Super Bowl would go, but that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy it (or does it). We break down the game, talk a little about NFL Honors, and lingering news. We also dive into early offseason speculation... Will Stafford or Rodgers retire, who will get franchise tagged, who are the most sought-after free agents, and what is the league going to do when there aren't enough quarterbacks to go around? We may be in for an epic reshaping of the league after...

Fantasy Awards, Coaching Vacancies Filled, & Final Super Bowl Predictions
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We didn't record in time for the Pro-Bowl but we don't mind. While not fully official, we know who the Cardinals, Bills, and Raiders head coaches will be, but not how it will impact the teams. For our main event, we hand out our fantasy awards to the best, worst, and most meh contributors this season. Finally, we give our last and final thoughts before the last game of the season.

info_outlineWe are ready to extrapolate the whole season from what happened in the first week of the NFL. The Chiefs and Lions are doomed! The Chargers and Packers are a lock for the Super Bowl, with the Bills and Colts not far behind. We may also quit fantasy forever after losing this week. Or we'll take a measured, rational look and slightly adjust our expectations. Well, it's us, so it's somewhere in between... Football's Back!
