#AlbumOfTheWeek: Brother Moses | Magnolia

New release date, who dis??? We are trying out a Thursday release so we can include the Thursday night game in our game breakdowns!  In honor of National Podcast Day (recorded on 9/30/2020), our longest episode to date.   Alex & Zack are back on the mic's for another banger of an episode for you all, you won't want to miss it!  This episode contains: * The NFL's first COVID 'outbreak' & what happens next * News, notes & injury updates  * A full breakdown of all week 4 games * Starts/Sits of the week * Listener Questions Ladies & gents... I promise we are thinking hard about how to trim these episodes down, but with THIS MUCH CONTENT to talk about, we aren't going to cut corners... no. You deserve better.  We really appreciate you spending your time with us! Please subscribe to the show wherever you listen. After you do, come say hi to us on Twitter & Instagram! @AtoZffb & @ZackFFB is where you can find us.  _ .... ._ _. _._   __._ ___ .._ #AlbumOfTheWeek - This Land | Gary Clark Jr.  A POWERFUL record, extremely relevant to our current world. The track 'This Land' offers a 'no-bulls**t' perspective on the current state of our nation, specifically from the perspective of a black man. The music itself is excellent... Gary Clark Jr. SHREDS. But please, listen to his words. As we enter a season that no one is looking forward to (ya know, the one that comes around every 4 years), this year is different. This year there is more at stake than ever before. We need to care, we need to vote. There is still time to register. Visit iwillvote.com for more information. As always, thank you SO much for kicking it with us. Peace, -A & -Z

For a little extra spice, we also pick a sleeper/upside player you should not be afraid to start in week 1.

#AlbumoftheWeek is back! 

I stumbled into some Australian Football on TV, which is INSANELY fun to watch. so in honor of the outback, this weeks album of the week is:

The Rubens | LO LA RU (2018)

The Rubens are a band I found back in 2016, Hoops (from the album Hoops) is arguably my favorite song, but LO LA RU is a great album to throw and and just vibe along to. Check them out @therubens on Instagram. 

Peace,

-Z & -A

Better late than never! We apologize for the delay in releasing our WR Rankings episode. Some hurdles came up, but draft season is upon us, so we put in some overtime to get an episode out for the week (publishing at 11:44 PM on Thursday night lol). 

Tune in as Alex & Zack dive into their top 12 WR's for the 2020 fantasy football season. There or some familiar faces, and some new guys looking to take that next step into stardom. Spoiler alert... Zack did not talk about Diontae Johnson in the WR 1 episode... 

#AlbumOfTheWeek: This is actually an EP, so not a full length album, but I can NOT stop listening to this band.

Make Pretend (EP) | Juice

A blend of awesome styles and sounds. Amazing vocals to tie everything together. A very fun sound with some really thoughtful lyrics (Konoha). Check them out, I think you'll dig it. Follow on on IG @itstimeforjuice. Follow us on Twitter & IG at our old and improved handle @AtoZffb.

Catch you on the flip! 

-Z & -A

Kicking off the show, we discuss player opt outs, and what if the season is delayed, or even cancelled... Please NO!!! (0:00-11:56) 

Then the rankings continue (11:56-END). This time we dive into the RB position, arguably the most important position in fantasy football, you won't want to miss this!! Tune in and see who Zack & Alex are targeting for their fantasy teams in 2020. There is a healthy mix of household names, players on the verge of stardom & maybe a surprise of two... Let's talk about your favorite RB's, hit us up on Twitter & Instagram: @AtoZffb

This week's #AlbumOfTheWeek: Catfish and the Bottlemen | The Balcony Catfish and the Bottlemen are hands down one of the best live shows I have ever seen. They reside in Europe where they play to sold out arena's, but when they come to the states you can catch them in some pretty intimate venues. They will put on an unforgettable show, I promise you that. The Balcony is their first studio album, released back in 2014. This album still has some of my favorite songs to jam out to. 

First things first: We had a decent amount of connectivity issues while recording, so we apologize for any glitchy audio! It is few and far between, but just a heads up. Also... I am SORRY for the um's. Working on it, it will be better in the future. Better late than never... Rankings episodes are coming! Alex and Zack start out with the Quarterback position. Tune in as they break down their top 12 QB's for the 2020 fantasy football season.  Shutout to @KyleYNFL for sharing his awesome projection template & allowing us to utilize that tool when building out our rankings.  Please share the podcast with your friends & league mates, and also follow us on Twitter & Instagram @AtoZ_FFB for more A-Z FFB content, including these QB rankings and much more!  I have always wanted to incorporate music into this podcast in some way. Since we cannot put these songs right into the podcast let's give this a shot. On Twitter I have been sharing a #SongOfTheDay (not every single day). In the podcast description I will share an #AlbumOfTheWeek (or EP/LP). Music is a part of my fantasy football research, now you can get a taste of what we are listening to. I will list out Artist | Album, you can search for them wherever you listen to your music.   The first #AlbumOfTheWeek can only belong to one of my favorite bands:  Future Thieves | Exit/In (Live) This is a live album recorded at Exit/In Music Venue in Nashville, TN. Enjoy!   Peace, A & Z 

Tune is as we take our very first trip into the mailbag! Some great questions came in the really got us thinking. If you have questions you want to hear answered on the show send those to us on Twitter & Instagram: @AtoZ_FFB
