One MANS Opinion: Episode 249 – Mans Vs Mock 2025
Apr 23, 202501:15:52Tap to summarizeIt is officially NFL Draft week, and Jeff Mans is like a kid in a candy store with all of the player profiles and analysis he is spilling this week. This is a very straightforward episode as Jeff Mans goes through all 32 first-round picks of the 2025 NFL Draft and does two simultaneous drafts. The first one is what he would do if he were in charge of each NFL team. The second mock draft is what most likely will be the picks on Thursday Night. For each team, Mans reviews what the most significant needs are, what history tells us about the presumptive pick, and which players fit the current offensive/defensive system best. He also discusses the fantasy football impact of each pick and how it will impact his rankings this season. It’s the best mock draft(s) that you will hear this year, so be sure to spend some time on this week’s show.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 248 – NFL Draft Last 5 Years Revisited
Apr 16, 202501:26:31Tap to summarizeThis is a super-sized episode this week, everybody, so buckle up. Before Jeff Mans breaks down the 2025 NFL Draft, he discusses the ongoing saga at the University of Tennessee, where now former QB Nico Iamaleava held himself out of spring practices in order to leverage more NIL money out of the school. Despite the move backfiring on him (for now), Mans warns that this is the new norm in college sports and offers a much more reasonable solution. Did Colorado retire Shadeur Sanders and Travis Hunter’s jersey numbers too soon? Jeff thinks so and wonders why they are doing this now, before either has even been drafted. Then it is time to revisit the last five NFL Drafts (2020-2024) and see where the best players in the NFL right now were selected. Mans also looks at where some prominent first and second round picks are at now. As promised, this week he gives out his top 10 tight end prospects ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Jeff also tries to guess what each of the first 10 picks of the first round will be as it looks right now.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 240 – Brainwashed
Feb 12, 2025Tap to summarizeSuper Bowl 59 is in the books, and Jeff Mans has so many takeaways that it was hard to fit them all into a one-hour show this week. The ascending of Jalen Hurts, the premature demise of Patrick Mahomes, the hatred of Travis Kelce, the tolerance of Nick Siriani, and the power of influencers in the sports betting market are just some of the topics he hits today. Mans also has a strong message for all of those folks out there who are being told what to think because of their political affiliation. This show has a zero-tolerance policy for bias, and that point is emphasized this week. Jeff recaps his entire Super Bowl betting ledger and even uncovers a win that he forgot to tally up after the big game. The halftime show performance by Kendrick Lamar is also getting a lot of brushback, and Mans feels as though he knows exactly why that is the case. This episode will make your mouth laugh and your blood boil, so strap it down for another episode of One Mans Opinion.

Transcribe →One MANS Opinion: Episode 230 – Perspective
Nov 13, 2024Tap to summarizeTry not to be turned on too much by Jeff Mans’ raspy voice this week, as a medical issue has him sounding more like Barry White than a geeky fantasy football guy. This week, Jeff is recapping NFL week 10 by breaking down the problems with the Jets, the return of Christian McCaffrey, and the Bears firing coaches already. Despite some DFS NFL cash game struggles this season, Mans had a revelation this week that spurs a much larger conversation about the state of each skill position in fantasy football this season. He goes on to break down the number of QB, RB, WR & TE that normally finish in the top 25, 50 & 100 of scoring and compares that to what is happening this year. The results are surprising but will help us make better decisions moving forward. Mans also gives out his top 10 waiver pickups for the week, which does NOT include a key player he’s had on this list in the last two weeks who had a breakout game in week 10. As always, he gives out his survivor pick of the week and gives out his Thursday Night Football bet for the Commanders and Eagles game in week 11.
