Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
In this episode, Ben and Jakob are drafting in the FFPC Main Event -- a managed, redraft tournament. The FFPC Main Event includes a 12-week self-contained league with playoffs in Weeks 13-14. The top scoring team, top record, and league playoff winner in each league advances to the "sprint" in Weeks 15-17, in which teams compete for the $1M grand prize.
The Long View is a fantasy football podcast from Ben Gretch (@YardsPerGretch) and Jakob Sanderson (@JakobSanderson), which blends data-driven fantasy analysis with a thoughtful, high-level exploration of the game of football.
Ben and Jakob each author innovative newsletters in this space and have a shared perspective on fantasy football, which has led to several thought-provoking conversations over the years. They now look forward to turning these conversations into a podcast, which will improve your understanding of the game, and your performance in fantasy football leagues.
