How the Champions Were Crowned - A Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/1

Episode 82 is a full-blown roller coaster of dominance, disappointment, and late-season weirdness.

We open with a quick reality check on the NFL landscape—highlighting just how few wins some teams have managed against opponents over .500—before diving headfirst into another jam-packed Winners and Sinners episode.

This week’s Winners feature video-game performances across the board. Drake Maye puts together one of the most efficient quarterback games of the season, Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence continue their playoff fantasy tear, and Malik Willis shocks everyone with a dual-threat explosion. At running back, Derrick Henry delivers a legendary 36-carry, four-touchdown performance, while Christian McCaffrey reminds us—again—why he’s RB1. The tight end position stays absurd, with Trey McBride stacking yet another weekly win as he continues one of the most dominant TE seasons ever.

On the flip side, the Sinners list is massive. From superstar letdowns like Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, Justin Jefferson, and Jalen Hurts, to painful duds from players managers needed most, this week punished even the best fantasy lineups. If you survived it, you earned it.

If you want the full breakdown of who carried you, who buried you, and why fantasy football remains completely unhinged—Episode 82 has you covered.
