Players We Might Be Wrong About & Pound Foolish Publication Day

Author: HarrisFootball.com September 1, 2026 Duration: 1:03:26

It's a great time of year to reflect on the assumptions that underpin some of our ranks. We certainly have built up our mind palaces for what the 2026 NFL season will look like, and just as certainly, those palaces are about to be shattered. Which players are we worried we've got wrong? We'll talk about that on today's pod. Plus: it's Pound Foolish publication day. I'm freaking out. Guest: Ben Gretch of the Stealing Signals newsletter.

For anyone tired of fantasy football advice that feels like it's just repackaging the same stats and headlines, the Harris Fantasy Football Podcast offers a different path. Hosted by Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com, this show is built on a simple, labor-intensive premise: ignoring the box score to actually watch the game film. The conversations you'll hear are born from that tape study, moving beyond superficial numbers to discuss how players are really being used, what the schemes reveal, and which performances are sustainable or due for change. It’s a process focused on understanding the "why" behind the results, whether dissecting a rookie's route-running or a veteran's changing role. This approach informs every episode, aiming to provide actionable insights that help you build a more resilient roster from your draft through the playoff push. The goal isn't just to offer weekly waiver wire names, but to foster a smarter, more nuanced way of thinking about player evaluation and team management throughout the entire NFL season. Tune in for a detailed, film-driven perspective that cuts through the noise of the fantasy football industry.
