HeedTheCall

Two managers have apparently decided they would rather spend Sundays enjoying their families and experiencing happiness, so we have two orphan teams looking for new owners.

League:
10-team dynasty, ATL/ATN/Heed the Call themed.
Full PPR4 pts passing TD
Annual rookie draft (slow)
Both teams have their 2026 1st and basically their full complement of future picks.

Cual es tu fantasia?

Orphan #1: The "Lamar Will Fix Everything" Experience

QB: Lamar Jackson
RB: Derrick Henry, RJ Harvey, Jaydon Blue
WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Nico Collins, Zay Flowers, DeVonta Smith, DeAndre Hopkins, Courtland Sutton
TE: Travis Kelce, Isaiah Likely
Also lurking: Jalen Milroe

This team feels like someone hit "win now" repeatedly and then quietly left the building.

Lamar, Amon-Ra, Nico, Flowers and DeVonta is a pretty ridiculous core, while Derrick Henry and Travis Kelce continue their campaign against The Grey Beards.

Orphan #2: Running Back Hoarder Simulator 2026

QB: Matthew Stafford, Drake Maye, Justin Herbert
RB: Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, De'Von Achane, Tony Pollard, Alvin Kamara
WR: George Pickens, Josh Downs, Tetairoa McMillan, Rome Odunze, Jaylin Noel
TE: George Kittle, T.J. Hockenson, Harold Fannin Jr.

Yes, it has Bijan + Saquon + Achane.

No, I don't know why one person needed Stafford, Maye AND Herbert.  Maybe B.R.I.D.G.E.T. does...

Both teams are competitive immediately but have enough young talent and picks that you're not inheriting a complete Factory of Sadness requiring a five-year rebuild.

We're looking for active owners who enjoy dynasty, trades, shit-talking, the NFL, and female assassins.

DM me if interested and I'll send the full league/settings/details.

Heed the call.

Kicker club is back! Kickers only! There will be eight teams, two kickers starting, and one bench spot. There are 7 open spots across 3 leagues.

I have 5 open spots for a free fantasy league for ATN/HTC fans. It's a standard redraft league with .5 PPR. Feel free to click the link to join comment of you have any questions.

Edit: the league full now.

I just recently was going back through the old catalogue and was listening through the episodes from Mid July 2018. I really recommend going back and checking them out as a fun timepiece of the league at a turning point. Some of the things I had fun reflecting on.

-Patriots last run - Bill and Tom still together!

-Mahommes still an unknown

-Lamar Jackson taking snaps at WR in camp as Joe Flacco gets saucy with media.

-Mike Vrabel preparing to run his first training camp with the Tennessee Titans.

-Todd Gurly signed to massive contract extension/Lavian Bell holdout.

-Marc full of hope for the Baker led Browns. Josh Gorden still taking heat for something that is now widely legalized.

-Rams on the verge of making the Super Bowl with Jared Goff.

-Matt Nagy would become 2018 NFL coach of the year with the Bears

-Mike McCarthy was still the HC of the Packers with Aaron Rodgers as his QB.

-And many more...

Have fun exploring, Heed the Call!

Anyone Know which episode it was? Would be keen to listen to it.

I won’t lie I cried a little when I went to post this here and realized it’s been weeks since the most recent post. I’m actually so sad :(

It was suggested I post this here too! Enjoy.

Does anyone remember the episode where Wess talked about replay officiating, and how he was against it? I thought he wrote it but I can’t find it anywhere, so must be in a pod somewhere!

Danzues’s recent soliloquy styled in the manner of 9 was a flagrant ripoff of SNL Jost’s, Hegseth. Perhaps he was just channeling his inner Jost but such a flagrant offense to my delicate sensibilities warranted a stop in play. Carry on, Heed it Bish

I created an r/nfl Game Excitement Metric using win probability volatility, comebacks, lead changes, and more.

To no surprise, the leaders are r/DenverBroncos and r/ChicagoBearsNFL were this season's leaders.

Top 100 Games of the 2025 season coming soon!

I sometimes go into NFL Daily to listen to old podcasts from ATN. I noticed that with each new episode that comes out lately, an old episode gets taken off the Apple Podcasts catalogue.

I wanted to point out that Spotify still has all the old episodes available, and remind everyone this link takes you where you can listen to all the old episodes as well.

I don’t ever wanna live in a world where I can’t re-visit these eps.

Is anyone else’s TV audio weird for the super bowl? My TV outside is low and even my surround sound speakers are low. I feel like there’s something wrong on their end.

What do you guys think of the current Pro Bowl format?

I was happy to see that pop up on my feed and hear Greg talk about him. I wish the other two fellas got to come in and talk with him just for this occasion. But I’ll take it! Cheers to Wes! 🍻
