Listener sentiment
The FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast enters the 2026 season on a high note, with the most recent September ratings overwhelmingly positive and listeners crediting the show's data-driven rankings, start/sit guidance, and waiver-wire advice for tangible league success. Longtime and new listeners alike praise the hosts' football knowledge, willingness to debate differing opinions, and the balance of entertainment with substantive analysis. However, the preceding months (roughly April through August) tell a more mixed story: a recurring cluster of negative reviews centered on the departure of popular host Joe Pisapia, frustration with replacement personalities, excessive ad loads — including a Copenhagen tobacco sponsorship that drew particular ire — and cross-promotion of other podcasts cluttering the feed. Several reviewers also complained about hosts talking over one another, extended personal banter crowding out fantasy content, and a perceived shift in tone. While the analytical core remains widely trusted and the early-season ratings suggest sentiment has rebounded, the mid-summer criticism reflects a real undercurrent of frustration with format and presentation choices that has not fully dissipated.
