The Hits Just Keep On Coming For Teams Young And Old
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
Not everyone survived week 11 in the NFL, with Michael Penix and Aaron Rodgers both getting injured. We also got a Shedeur Sanders sighting and Jacoby Brissett is setting passing records. The Chiefs, Lions, and Ravens are currently outside of the playoff picture, while the Bears, Broncos, and Patriots are division leaders. Needless to say, things are pretty crazy this season, and our fantasy teams are struggling to survive all this chaos but we still managed to make it to the playoffs in the Scott Fish Fishbowl tournament.

The Curious Case of the NFL in 2025
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We're in the do-or-die stretch of the fantasy football season, and we're trying to claw our way into the playoffs. We share our trials and tribulations of trying to keep our teams afloat. We also ponder why we're seeing odd injuries, mental health issues, trying locker rooms, and the craziness of how close the standings are for the NFL in general.

NFL Trade Deadline Reaction: Fire Sales and Missed Opportunities
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We've passed the halfway mark of the NFL Season, and the standings are starting to fall into place. The NFC is as close as it can be from first to eighth place, while the AFC is starting to separate. We saw a few moves at the trade deadline with Jakobi Meyers going to the Jags, Rashid Shaheed going to the Seahawks, and the Jets sending Sauce Gardner to the Colts but getting Adonai Mitchell. We also examine the Seahawks success and figure out what to do with injuries to Jayden Daniels, Tucker Kraft, CJ Stroud, Matthew Golden and others. The second half of the season is just heating up!...

Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
Lane returns after paternity leave in time to do a little trade deadline speculation on whether the Saints could have a fire sale or if Breece Hall might get moved. Our fantasy teams are also struggling to stay afloat between bye weeks and injuries, but we're not out of it yet. Finally, Lane gets to make his picks for who are the contenders and who are just pretenders after missing out a couple of weeks ago. Sponsor: Twitter: Bluesky: Music: Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter

Paternity Leave Leads To Pretenders and Contenders With A Guest
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
While Lane is out to take care of a new member of the family, Christine steps in to break down the week. We had our first coach fired in Tennessee, mass injuries to wide receivers, and a couple more upsets with Buffalo and Philly losing two in a row. We then get into some predictions in our annual pretenders and contenders segment. We'll be on bye for at least a week, make sure to watch out for bye-mageddon in week 8!

We Could Smell The Upsets In Week 5
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We have no more undefeated teams in the NFL after the Eagles and Bills lost, with the Jets the only remaining winless team. We also saw Dillon Gabriel get his first start, Carolina find another gear, while the Chiefs and Ravens continue to struggle. We try to figure out a season that keeps getting more unpredictable and how we are keeping our fantasy teams afloat. Sponsor: Twitter: Bluesky: Music: Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter

NFL Clarity or Confusion After Week 4
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We're nearly a quarter of the way through the NFL season, and some teams are giving us a clear picture of who they are, while others are just confusing. The Patriots and Falcons seemed to find another gear with dominant wins, but the Packers and Ravens are shaky. Could the Saints and Giants not be as awful as we thought? We are trying to make sense of it all this week while keeping our fantasy teams afloat after injuries to Tyreek Hill, Malik Nabers, Jaylen Warren, and others.

Checking In On Week 3: We're Doing.... ok
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We are still trying to figure out this season. It's weird. We guess the Colts are pretty decent and the Saints aren't good, but what about the Chiefs... or Steelers... or Patriots... or Bears? And all the other weird teams this season? We try to make sense of the season so far. Also, kicking is even more of an issue, it's one thing to miss a kick and another to blow the game on a blocked kick. Sponsor: Twitter: Bluesky: Music: Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter

Not Too Soon to Panic After Week 2
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
QBs are dropping left and right with Burrow's toe keeping him out for most of the fantasy season, Justin Fields has a concussion, JJ McCarthy & Brock Purdy are out, and Jayden Daniels is banged up. We speculate about the continuing kicking woes across the league, why we have so many 1-1 fantasy teams, and which 2-0 NFL teams are the most legit. It's only week 2, but the NFL season is already crazy. Sponsor: Twitter: Bluesky: Music: Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter

Nobody Freakout! Week 1 Overreactions Are Here
Balls In the Gutter: A Fantasy Football Podcast
We 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!
