Summary

It's our first offseason show of 2026, and we're having a look back at the '25 season to pick out some *weird* players. These are guys who started the year wonderfully and ended terribly. Or guys who did the opposite, and won us fantasy championships at the end. Or guys who performed better than expected given their age or target volume. We'll have a look at some "Fantasy Outliers" -- and discuss what we're thinking of doing with them in '26. Big fun! Guest: Jim McCormick of ESPN.

0:00.0	Hey! It's the Harris Football Podcast with your host, Christopher Harris.
0:13.8	Welcome! Hey, everybody, welcome in. My name is Chris, and this continues to be a show. Thank you for listening
0:23.4	everybody. Welcome to your offseason. Welcome to Thursday morning shows for the next five weeks
0:30.3	leading up to the Super Bowl. Thank you for being here and for listening. We have some fun football
0:35.9	topics coming to you throughout January into February,
0:40.7	which will include today with Jimmy McCormick, taking time away from teaching the young children of Philadelphia to speak with us about some players who are just weird, just weird players, weird outlier seasons in 2025. What do we think of those
0:55.6	performances? How do we think it will go with them going forward? I'm looking forward to getting
1:00.0	to that in just a few minutes. However, unfortunately, this is one of those shows. I just got to come
1:07.6	on here and acknowledge the real world and how I'm feeling about it
1:12.2	because it just feels kind of disingenuous and maybe a little gross to pretend everything's normal.
1:19.5	If you're in the U.S., you probably understand yesterday was just crazy, and it's been tough over the past year to keep talking about something

1:44.5	with a mix of like anxiety and gym face,
1:49.1	like get a load of these idiots, which is fair.
1:51.9	One thing I really don't want to hear from you today
1:54.3	from anybody is stick to sports.
1:57.3	That was a really common refrain like 10, 15 years ago. The very instant anything on a sports
2:04.4	show talked about something other than sports. You get an avalanche of people who thought it was
2:09.0	really appropriate and cool to tell you, hey, hey, stick to sports. Like, I don't come here to think
2:14.3	about the real world. I come to be entertained. If that's your instinct to tell me that, I love you.
