Helicopter Pilot (guest: Ian Hartitz) - a podcast by The Football Girl

Host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) brings in guest Ian Hartiz of PFF (@IHartitz), one of the hardest-working analysts in the fantasy biz and an essential Twitter follow. Pat talks to Ian about how he developed his Twitter presence and how he came upon the idea for Helicopter Guy, a two-dimensional muse with a knack for predicting breakout games. Ian does a deep dive on the Buccaneers, discussing Ronald Jones’ Week 10 explosion, whether Leonard Fournette is still in play for fantasy, and how to value Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown. Pat and Ian also talk about the sluggish return of Michael Thomas, the outlook for Jonathan Taylor and the recent slowdown for Mike Davis.

Following a windswept Week 10, Ian weighs in on weather effects and how much they matter for fantasy. He also talks about his high school playing days in football-crazed Dublin, Ohio, the possibility of coaching someday, and whether he has any lingering physical effects from his gridiron days. Ian explains why Darek Carr blocked him on Twitter and nonetheless praises Carr for changing his playing style. Pat and Ian close the show by discussing Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic, Carson Wentz, and whether a number of recent fantasy risers will have staying power.
