About this episode
It is that time of year again when Jeff Mans takes all his offseason work and “puts it on tape” for one team that is going to be the biggest surprise of the NFL and fantasy football season. After a recap of his previous five years of surprise teams, he breaks down the small list of teams that didn’t quite make the cut for 2025 but are worth keeping an eye on. Finally, he announces the team he is backing in 2025 and breaks down the multitude of reasons, starting with ownership, the front office, a growing analytics department, a revamped coaching staff, and a roster full of plus players at nearly every single position. This episode is full of data points that will support this year’s selection and surprise many listeners in the process. This is also the first time that a team has gotten appreciably better simply by losing a couple of notable key players and coaches. Mans goes game by game of this team's schedule and reveals how a real slow start is going to pay off BIG in the end. If you want your fantasy and betting season to take off in 2025, do the smart thing: Jump on the Jets.
