One MANS Opinion: Episode 310 – The Business Side
1w ago01:25:36Tap to summarizeThe rampant layoffs occurring in the fantasy sports industry prompted Jeff Mans to devote part of this week's show to the business side of fantasy sports. Mans discusses how the industry has changed from when he first started his website in 2005 through the explosion of DFS and high stakes to the current rise of sports betting. Jeff was one of the first ever to partner with a gaming site, and his experience there is what has led to a very different career path within the content space. He also reveals who he chose with his first three picks in the famous Scott Fish Bowl 16 that is going on right now, and why this league has reminded him and all of us that fantasy sports is ultimately supposed to be fun. Then Mans takes a walk through several of the new offensive coordinators around the NFL in 2026. Jeff breaks down the new offenses for the Lions, Chargers, Jets, and Eagles and uncovers which players fit and do not fit the new systems.

Mans breaks down the ownership, front office, coaching staff, facilities, organizational grades, depth chart, schemes, and schedule to show his work on why this Vegas team is going to surprise people this season. He also addresses the Facebook rant from his SXM show this week and reveals what made him melt down on and off the air.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 308 – Mansifesto Revisited
3w ago01:15:17Tap to summarizeEarlier in the week, Jeff Mans took a phone call from “Wayne” on the Elite Sports Show, and that caller’s request became the subject of this week's show. Thus, Mans went back and revisited his 2025 Fantasy Football MANSifesto on Fantasy Guru dot com to see just how well or not well the advice turned out to be. In that article, Jeff drafted two separate teams based on his beliefs back in July of 2025. How did those two teams perform when plugged into a simulator? Mans reveals those results, including playoff advancement rate and championships won here. He also goes over every single player at every single position that he recommended to target and fade at their cost. There were some great hits, one legendary miss, and a ton of useful information that can help us make better decisions in 2026. Jeff also covers some of the latest news around the NFL, including the league shutting out Texas Tech QB Branden Sorsby.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 307 – World Cup of Wide Receivers
4w ago01:11:56Tap to summarizeJeff Mans is in a World Cup state of mind this week as he wrestles with the idea of watching soccer while also being incredibly bored and distracted at the same time. So, he invented his own game inspired by the World Cup, in which he pits every wide receiver in the NFL against one another in a steel cage-like tournament decided by a simple math formula of his own creation. First, he finds the WRs on each team that he has the most interest in based on their current market price, then he puts them into a bracket sorted alphabetically by NFL team name. Mans rolls through each matchup explaining what he likes and dislikes about each player and whittles the field down to the final four, the championship matchup, and finally the lone victor of the 2026 World Cup of Wide Receivers. Jeff also hits on NFL news, the Knicks winning the NBA Finals, the Carolina Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup, and the future of his SXM radio show.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 306 – I Don’t Play Fantasy Football
Jun 1001:06:27Tap to summarizeJeff Mans is shot out of a cannon this week as he first addresses the wild Twitter trolling that suggests he “doesn’t play fantasy football.” In 20+ years in the fantasy industry, this was one of the wildest accusations ever, and Mans discusses the cult-like tribalism that leads to these sorts of wild conversations. For those interested, he does go over a quick recap of his resume, just in case anybody is curious. Jeff gives out a few of his best values in fantasy football right now, according to the latest ADP. Then he dives into a detailed conversation about what fantasy players should be expecting from each position (QB, RB, WR, TE) on a weekly basis. Mans reveals the players at each position that hit those marks the most, revealing the most consistent weekly winners over the last three years. This information is huge, whether you are playing in redraft or best ball league formats this year.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 305 – Places Trading
Jun 301:15:02Tap to summarizeHe’s back from a week at the beach, but the sunshine has not softened Jeff Mans one bit as he comes in hot with a ton of takes and analysis. Two blockbuster NFL trades this week have the football world abuzz, and Mans offers his biggest takeaways from both deals. As AJ Brown arrives in “heaven,” the Eagles are left with a pool of wide receivers who will need to step up and become the alpha. Mans makes his case for one of those Eagles WRs here this week. Is it possible that the Browns traded away the best player in recent franchise history and yet somehow made a good deal out of it? Jeff believes so and offers his reasoning here. The Falcons gave Drake London $141 million, but Mans has concerns with that contract specifically because of who may be throwing him the football. It's that time of year to take a spin around the redraft and best ball average draft position (ADP) numbers and break them down by position. As he goes through it, Mans uncovers a sizeable mistake the best ball drafters are making right now and tells us exactly how to exploit it right now.

May 2701:03:40Tap to summarizeJeff Mans is live on tape from the beach, and even though he is not on the radio this week, he’s still providing that deep diving fantasy football content right here. This week, Jeff is revealing all of the new upgrades he and the team have been working on over at Fantasy Guru dot com in anticipation of the launch of the 2026 Draft Guide. Mans has a strong warning concerning fantasy football content creators and engagement farmers after his interaction with one this week that was blindly misleading people with full-on fake statistics. That interaction leads to a much more honest look at how to analyze rookies. He looks back at the 2025 rookie ADP and notes the hits and misses from a year ago. Then Jeff reviews the top 20 fantasy football rookie seasons ever and discusses what led to each of those players’ breakouts. Then it is time to get dirty by going in the trenches and breaking down which NFL teams have made the biggest upgrades and downgrades along their offensive lines this offseason.

He also has reactions to NFL OTAs where one quarterback is back in the saddle (Aaron Rodgers) while another is holding out for more money (Jacoby Brissett). Then it is time for Mans to count down his top 10 best and worst moves of the entire 2026 NFL offseason so far. These include coaching changes, trades, free agency, NFL Draft, retirements, hirings, firings, and anything else executed by the 32 NFL teams.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 302 – Getting Older
May 1301:10:39Tap to summarizeAnother jam-packed episode this week, folks, as Jeff Mans begins by discussing his emotions as he watched his oldest daughter graduate from law school this week. Mans pontificates that while getting older comes with plenty of advantages, he longs to go back and take that ride again. Of course, there is a ton of football talk here as well as Jeff wraps up his first dynasty league rookie draft and reveals the six players he took this season. Then it is time to take a spin around the super early average draft position (ADP) in fantasy football right now. Mans reveals the top 12 players who are going in the first round and where he has each one ranked right now. He also gives out his top 12, which features three players not in the top 15 in the current marketplace. This leads to a deeper conversation about players that Jeff Mans is higher on right now than the current market. If you or someone you know is drafting early, this is an episode that you cannot miss.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 301 – 2026 Rookie Rankings
May 601:06:39Tap to summarizeWith so many dynasty leagues having their rookie drafts immediately after the NFL Draft, Jeff Mans felt it was the right time to reveal his 2026 rookie fantasy football rankings this week. These all can be found on the Fantasy Guru website, of course, but in this episode, Jeff breaks down exactly how to handle a weak class of NFL rookies and which traits to look for when searching for fantasy production. He expresses how league formats matter because those who are playing in a Superflex and/or an IDP league will find this rookie class much better than those in skill-position-only league setups. Mans also reveals how two of his dynasty league drafts have gone so far, including who he landed on for his first pick in each league. Also, Jeff discusses how different the NBA betting scene is now in the playoffs and wonders why every professional sport is addicted to resting players at every possible opportunity.
