Best Fantasy Football Format

This is my first year doing a guillotine league, and I made it to the final 5 (and still alive) in large part because of this podcast and the weekly Charch rankings. Thanks Paul and Brian!

Helped me win

This was my first year playing in a guillotine league. The information Charch and Brian gave helped me win my super chop league in my first year playing. Keep up the great work.

Could be better

I like that they do a podcast but it’s the same format every week pretty much. How about doing a mailbag each week with different scenarios from listeners? Or going over private leagues that might have trades?

Having guests would be nice too. Also it’s easy to say don’t spend when you do ten different leagues. Some of us can only afford do one league so we need to be more aggressive on faab spending. Going over different league format scenarios would be nice.
