Kickin’ It Old-School (Guest: Jody Smith) - a podcast by The Football Girl

Trades, injuries, crazy touchdown variance – the last few days have been pretty eventful in the fantasy football universe, and host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) talks through some of it with this week’s guest, Jody Smith (@JodySmithNFL) of FantasyPros.com and CBS Sportsline. As two graybeards of fantasy football, Pat and Jody also reminisce about the good old days, discussing how they started playing fantasy football back in the pen-and-paper era. They also talk a little about scoring formats, comparing the relative merits of standard, PPR and (gasp!) touchdown-only.

Pat and Jody then dig into the two the big trades that went down recently. They talk about Nick Chubb’s outlook as the lead back in Cleveland, what Jacksonville does with Leonard Fournette, T.J. Yeldon and the newly acquired Carlos Hyde, and how the deal that sent Amari Cooper to Dallas affects the fantasy prospects of various Cowboys and Raiders. Jody discusses how members of the Twitter fantasy football community helped his son with a collection he’d been working on, and about watching Houston pull together after Hurricane Harvey roared through town. Pat and Jody then close the show with a little bit of talk about Jody’s hometown Texans, including whether D’Onta Foreman might eventually pose a threat to Lamar Miller (who spent his Sunday crushing Pat’s soul in one of his home leagues).
