Release Date: July 26, 2025

Introduction

In this episode of the Fantasy Footballers Podcast, hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright delve into favorite quarterback-wide receiver stacks, provide essential commissioner tips, and share the latest training camp news. As they transition from their traditional Saturday show to a more frequent schedule in August, the trio ensures listeners are well-prepared for the upcoming fantasy football season.

Training Camp News and Injury Updates

The episode kicks off with recent developments from training camps, notably the first significant injury scare of the season involving Justin Fields. Fields left Thursday practice with a dislocated toe in his right foot. Initially, there was speculation about a potential ACL injury, but further clarification confirmed it was limited to the toe.

• Andy Holloway [04:21]:
  “Justin Fields was the story. We'll talk about it momentarily in the news. But he wasn't the only one to tweak something in practice and leave the field.”

The hosts discuss the implications of Fields' injury on both his performance and his fantasy value, emphasizing the importance of monitoring such updates closely as the season approaches.

• Jason Moore [04:47]:
  “Don't panic about an injury right now because they cart off pretty much everybody if there is an injury.”

Additionally, updates on other players include Noah Fant visiting the Bengals and Kyle Pitts's performance and prospects for the upcoming season. Pitts' role in the Falcons' offense and his recent injury during practice are scrutinized, with the hosts debating his fantasy viability.

Favorite Quarterback-Wide Receiver Stacks

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing favorite QB-WR stacks, which are combinations of a quarterback with one of their primary wide receivers—a popular strategy in fantasy drafts for maximizing potential synergy and points.

• Eric [07:07]:
  “What is your favorite wide receiver quarterback stack at their current average draft position?”

Andy Holloway cites the Jalen Hurts and Chase combination as his favorite, highlighting the potential upside each offers.

• Andy Holloway [08:43]:
  “Think Burrow and Chase, that is majestic. That is wonderful.”

Jason Moore prefers a different approach, favoring a high-performing wide receiver paired with a more affordable quarterback to optimize draft value without sacrificing key positions.

• Jason Moore [10:21]:
  “CD Lamb is every bit as good as any other wide receiver in the game.”

Mike Wright introduces an alternative stack with Brock Purdy and George Kittle, suggesting that this combination, though less conventional, could outperform expectations due to Purdy's efficient touchdown rates.

• Mike Wright [11:07]:
  “Brock Purdy and George Kittle. It's kind of off the radar for a stack, but it could end up happier than it looks.”

The discussion underscores the importance of flexibility and not becoming overly committed to a single stack, especially when potential injuries are a concern.

Ultimate Draft Kit (UDK) Update

The hosts introduce a new tool within their Ultimate Draft Kit, designed to help fantasy managers identify the "true value" of players by round, adjusted for league settings and platform-specific ADP (Average Draft Position).

• Andy Holloway [06:17]:
  “We have a new tool we are releasing into the wild very soon. It is going to allow you to identify differences between what we consider the true value of a player by round.”

• Jason Moore [07:16]:
  “It'll show you if you're getting someone where they're being drafted on that platform, who is a value, who you might want to reach for a little bit or who might you want to avoid.”

This tool aims to empower drafters to make more informed decisions, leveraging the hosts' extensive analysis to gain an edge in their leagues.

Commissioner Tips

Transitioning to listener questions, the podcast offers valuable advice for those stepping into the role of commissioner in their fantasy leagues. The hosts emphasize the importance of fairness, neutrality, and fostering an engaging league environment.

• Mike Wright [33:54]:
  “A good commissioner keeps like facilitates the organization of a league in a manner that allows communication to be easy, people to be excited.”

Key tips include:

1. Avoid Unilateral Decisions: Commissioners should refrain from vetoing trades unless there's clear evidence of collusion.
2. Promote Democracy: Major changes should be decided by majority vote to ensure all league members feel included.
3. Maintain Activity: Encourage regular participation through weekly updates and engaging league activities.

• Andy Holloway [36:47]:
  “Don't unilaterally veto trades as a commissioner. Unless there's collusion, which we...”

The discussion highlights common pitfalls commissioners face and provides actionable strategies to create a positive and competitive fantasy environment.

Listener Questions and Discussions

Ashton Genti's Draft Value

Listener Nathan Platt inquires about the draft value of Ashton Genti, questioning whether he is being drafted too high or has the potential to crack the top five running backs.

• Andy Holloway [28:33]:
  “I believe Ashton Genti could end the year as the running back one.”

• Jason Moore [28:36]:
  “I don't think that he's being necessarily overdrafted. I do think he's near his ceiling.”

The hosts analyze Genti's prospects, comparing him to previous high-pick running backs like Trent Richardson and Bijan Robinson, ultimately expressing cautious optimism about his potential to deliver top-tier fantasy performance.

Best Draft Spot Preferences

Listener Matthew asks about the optimal week to set up a live draft date for a fantasy league.

• Jason Moore [31:18]:
  “My recommendation is as late into the preseason as possible. Like the weekend before kickoff is great.”

Hosts agree that setting the draft date late in the preseason allows managers to incorporate the most recent player news and avoid early injury concerns into their draft strategies.

PPR RB2: Omarion Hampton vs. Chuba Hubbard

Listener Aloha Ace seeks advice on selecting a RB2 in a full PPR league between Omarion Hampton and Chuba Hubbard.

• Jason Moore [46:45]:
  “Chuba is a good back and I think he's going to be pretty safe. But when we talk about play style of fantasy football and whether you're really trying to win your league, Omarion Hampton is the better pick.”

The hosts debate the volatility and potential upside of both running backs, leaning towards Hampton for his consistent workload and Carolina's promising offense, while acknowledging Hubbard's reliability when Najee Harris remains healthy.

Humorous Banter and Social Media Moments

Interspersed with the main discussions, the hosts engage in light-hearted banter, particularly about Jim Harbaugh's recent antics during training camp, which they found amusing and under-memed.
