In the 222nd and FINAL episode of Fitz on Fantasy host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) is joined by Matt Waldman (@MattWaldman), senior staff writer at Footballguys and the creator of the Rookie Scouting Portfolio (available at MattWaldmanRSP.com). Matt talks about top QB prospects C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, and Anthony Richardson, and why he’s particularly fond of Richardson. He also expresses concerns about the mechanical issues that could hold back Will Levis. Matt has an interesting two-player mashup comp for Bijan Robinson that could quicken heart rates. Matt explains why he was initially slow to come around on Jahmyr Gibbs and why he’s excited by Tyjae Spears’ slippery power. He also offers an endorsement of polarizing RB prospect Zach Evans.
Before there was a galaxy of fantasy football podcasts to choose from, there was The Audible Live, the long-running Footballguys fantasy podcast featuring Matt, Sigmund Bloom, Cecil Lammey, and Dr. Jene Bramel. Matt talks about how he wound up becoming a regular on the show and why the cast has such good chemistry. Matt compares Jaxson Smith-Njigba to his former Ohio State teammates Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. Matt and Pat also discuss Zay Flowers, University of Tennessee teammates Jalin Hyatt and Cedric Tillman, and an alarming concern with Quentin Johnston. Matt discusses the NFL outlook for Dalton Kincaid and provides an elevator pitch for relatively unheralded TE prospect Luke Schoonmaker.
Pat closes the podcast by bringing in his producer, Colm Kelly (@OvertimeIreland), to discuss the origins of Fitz on Fantasy, how Colm became Pat’s producer, their in-person meeting last summer at the Fantasy Football Expo, the fantasy football community in the United Kingdom, and Colm’s podcast, RotoViz Overtime. Then, Pat signs off for the last time, offering some thank-yous on his way out.

Sugar and Bryce (guest: Thor Nystrom)
We’re less than three weeks away from the NFL Draft, so host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in FantasyPros college football and NFL Draft analyst Thor Nystrom (@thorku) to discuss the Class of 2023. Thor reveals which QB he’d take No. 1 if he were the Panthers’ GM and offers deep thoughts on C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, Will Levis, and Hendon Hooker. Thor also talks about the magnificence of Bijan Robinson, why he prefers Zach Charbonnet to Jahmyr Gibbs, and why he’s high on Tyjae Spears.
A product of the prestigious Iowa Writers Workshop, Thor talks about what it was like to be enrolled in America’s premier incubator for young writers. Then it’s more rookie talk, as Thor and Pat discuss a polarizing and relatively thin WR class. Thor explains why he prefers Quentin Johnston to Jaxson Smith-Njigba and why it wouldn’t be far-fetched for Zay Flowers to be the first wide receiver drafted. And with a talented and deep TE class this year, Thor offers praise for one of his favorites, Iowa’s Sam LaPorta.

Film Grinder (guest: Joey Wright)
Host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) is joined by Joey Wright (@thejoeywright) of the Front Yard Fantasy and Footballguys.com. Joey and Pat discuss the impasse between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens and where Jackson should be going in best-ball drafts. Should we be taking the panic discount, or should we be concerned that Jackson could sit out the year à la Le’Veon Bell? Joey makes a case for T.J. Hockenson as the fantasy TE in his first full season in Minnesota. A Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, Joey offers a take on what the Bucs’ passing game might look like with Baker Mayfield at quarterback and what dynasty managers should do with WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Joey and Pat spend some time talking about movies, with Joey explaining how he became a film buff and weighing in on the Oscar-night dominance of “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.” Joey also reveals his Mount Rushmore of movies, his choice for the most overrated movie of all time, and the first R-rated movie he ever snuck into. Joey and Pat talk about their mutual admiration of Dameon Pierce and why Pierce enthusiasm seems to have dissipated. Joey names a couple of his favorite dynasty trade targets and assesses the 2023 outlook for Khalil Herbert. Joey and Pat also discuss Samaje Perine and Odell Beckham, and Joey lists some players he’s targeting and fading in 2023.
