Next Fan Up - Nfl News & Reaction

It's the Wednesday Interview edition of the Next Fan Up podcast.This week, PodVader feels shame as Jay from Razzball defeated him in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League. It was a total thrashing. Jay even had a good gut feeling about the Bills versus the Cardinals in Week 3.  Still, it's a little early to panic, so don't - that's the advice Jay shares with the community as they discuss some RB situations in the league and the injury bug that is plaguing the NFL right now. Pod then previews the Thursday Night game featuring the Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals. Pod believes in one of these 1-2 teams and the other, well, he says they're right where we thought they would be. If you'd like to win a $20 gift card, all you need to do is send in an email - nextfanup@gmail.com and have your email chosen as the Email of the Week. You can follow us on Twitter - @nfupodcast (mmmm, snacks - more about that on Thursday)Check out the previews on Facebook.com/nfupodcastSubscribe, download, share and enjoy the s

Another interview packed edition of the Next Fan Up podcast!First up, PodVader revisits with a player we first met right before the NFL Draft. Branden Jackson is now a defensive end for the Oakland Raiders as part of their practice squad. Pod asks what does that mean exactly?  He also asks Branden about the Raiders mystique and the different Hall of Famers Branden has met. Finally, are the players talking about the potential move to Las Vegas? Next up, Doug Norrie of DFSR.com, also known as DailyFantasySportsRankings.com joins the show to talk about his loss to PodVader in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League.

The Interview podcast revisits a guest from the past this week. Proud to welcome back the rookie RB for the Green Bay Packers, Jhurell Pressley.  Pod talks to him about his rollarcoaster ride through being an undrafted free agent signed by the Minnesota Vikings, putting up monster numbers in preseason week 4, released by the Vikings, picked up by the Packers and now getting ready to face his old team in Week 2 of the regular season. Revenge, perhaps?  Pod also asks Jhurell about the social life of an NFL player and how he manages to keep fit through the season.The next guest is Joel Henard of the Fantasy Insiders and one of the competitors in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League. He lost to Pod in week 1.  The difference - Ben Roethlisberger threw 3 TDs but only 2 of them were to Antonio Brown.  They also look at the fantasy prospects of RBs in the NFL this season. Looking like RB-By-Committee is the new norm. Something fantasy owners are going to have to deal with alot.  They take a look at their opponent

Welcome to another edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. Every Friday, our SuperFans Sam (Giants) and Rob (Bills) will present some thoughts on the players available in the Daily Fantasy games. Who you should target and maybe who you should stay away from.  This week, PodVader start the show with a quick recap of the Thursday Night Kickoff game between the Panthers and the Broncos. Surprised that icing the kicker actually worked for once, but disappointed in the Broncos D. He calls them dirty for head hunting on Cam Newton.  He also calls out the NFL for not doing such a great job of "protecting the players".  If you missed any of this week's shows - Wednesday with Robert Flores or the Thursday Preview spectacular - go and subscribe on iTunes already!  Leave a review, because Pod is dying to read the next one on the podcast.Email us to become a SuperFan - nextfanup@gmail.comTweet us @nfupodcastRead the SuperFan previews of each game on Facebook.com/nfupodcastMonday morning recaps are next!  Good luck in fantasy

Robert Flores is on line 3!The last former ESPN guy that PodVader hasn't had on the show. Problem - solved!  RoFlo and Pod talk about the Texans - Flores' favorite team. They also look at the AFC East and the competition, or lack thereof, in that division. Running through the Jets' schedule - it's a doozy. As the conversation turns on the NFC, Pod shares his crazy scenario for the postseason which reminds RoFlo of the days back at ESPN and how things were handled when RoFlo became the new host of the Football Today podcast. And finally, how did Pod miss out on the rights to #PracticeSquad?Pod wraps things up with a preview of his matchup in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League vs Fantasy Insiders host Joel Henard. Reach out via email - become a SuperFan! - nextfanup@gmail.comTweet us @nfupodcastSuperFan previews already trickling in on Facebook - facebook.com/nfupodcastSubscribe on iTunes so you don't miss the interviews on Wednesdays, previews on Thursdays, recaps on Fridays and many other surprises.

Is QB Sam Bradford worth it? Can he succeed in Minnesota? Nick (Chiefs) is joined by Andrew (Jets) and Monty (Raiders) to go deep on that blockbuster trade and the other big moves made as the cuts started coming in this weekend.

It's Preseason Week 4 in the NFL, but don't worry because PodVader and the SuperFans have ALOT to talk about. Pod is joined by Neil (Redskins), Justin (Seahawks) and Don (Ravens) to discuss what each SuperFan is watching in the final preseason game. Specifically, those deep roster guys that you don't want to see cut because the other teams are going to scoop them up on their practice squad. Amongst the discussion of players, the guys also talk about the state of backup QBs in the NFL. If you lose your starting QB - like Minnesota - is your season done? And how about the WR position? Pod seems to think that the WR position is especially deep this year for most teams so sneaking a late draft guy or an over-achieving undrafted guy onto the practice squad, shouldn't be that difficult this year. Pod has some strong thoughts on the coverage of Colin Kaepernick's "protest".  And the whole crew wraps up with what they've learned during this preseason. We're looking for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions SuperFa

The 2nd edition of the interview version of Next Fan Up. This week, PodVader talks to his ol chum, Matt Williamson - whom he dubs the offical football podcaster. Matt is part of at least 9 million podcasts every day and you can find out which one you should listen to by following him on Twitter, @williamsonnfl. Alot of QB news and the Teddy Bridgewater injury just occured during the taping of this podcast. MDub shares the one QB every team with a QB issue should be trying to get. Hint: The Browns are trading punters. They discuss the Cowboys QB situation with Dak Prescott filling in for Tony Romo and other possible candidates to help fill those voids. They also discuss Colin Kaepernick's fall from a talent perspective and how much was tied to Jim Harbaugh. Finally, MDub mentions there's one team getting alot of buzz - the Houston Texans - but they have one major flaw everyone seems to be overlooking. Email us - nextfanup@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter - @nfupodcastRead all our previews on Facebook - facebook.c

Injuries, protests and turnovers, oh my! Nick (Chiefs) is joined by Charly (49ers) to discuss QB Colin Kaepernick's contoversial on-the-field protest and his future with the team, while Brian (Packers) and Tim (Falcons) chime in to discuss the other action in the NFL including each of their teams which appear to be headed in opposite directions.

The most important week of the NFL Preseason is here. PodVader is joined by Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins) and James (Texans) to run through the preview of Week 3.  What are each of the SuperFans watching in their games?They also discuss the breaking news of the Patriots trading for Barkevious Mingo from the Browns. What does Pod think of the move?  And what about the Patriots trade of Bryan Stork to the Redskins?Sam (Giants) joins the show to talk about the battle of New York - Giants vs. Jets. He also rants about the lazy journalists that are writing about Victor Cruz being the Giants' x-factor this season. Who is the TRUE x-factor? Sam shares.And as the Joey Bosa holdout becomes even more ridiculous with the San Diego Chargers, the SuperFans discuss the implications for a new stadium in San Diego and for the player.We're looking for a new Tampa Bay Buccanneers SuperFan - email us nextfanup@gmail.comTweet us @nfupodcastRead the SuperFan previews at facebook.com/nfupodcastSubscribe and listen to the show o
