Summary

Marcas Grant is joined by the esteemed Scott Fish, creator of the world famous ScottFishBowl, for a special new offseason episode of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! First, the duo talk about Scott’s start in the industry and reminiscence about the early days of fantasy football (2:03). Then, the hosts dive into the ScottFishBowl, covering it’s growth over the years, how participants are chosen and invited to play, and the charitable contributions from the community (10:01).

To wrap up the show, Marcas and Scott get into some 2021 fantasy talk, touching on the importance of a player's landing spot and naming some rookies that have caught Scott’s eye for dynasty leagues this year, including Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (27:44).
