Episode 2 - A Very Special Expo-sode
Jeff discusses his first-ever trip to the Fantasy Football Expo in Canton, Ohio, and the three biggest nuggets of wisdom he’s bringing back for dynasty managers and content creators alike.
Sometimes dynasty strategy takes a back seat to the people who make fantasy football special.
In this reflective “Expo-sode,” Jeff Blaylock (The Other Jeff B from Footballguys) recaps his trip to the Fantasy Football Expo in Canton — part industry reunion, part learning lab, part reminder of why community matters.
He opens with a quick dynasty news round-up — James Cook’s contract extension, Matthew Stafford’s recovery timeline, rookie wide-receiver buzz, and Alexander Mattison’s injury fallout — before diving into the energy and connections that make the Expo unique.
Jeff spotlights three standout apps — Gritty, Lightning Leagues, and Prop Decks — that hint at the next wave of fantasy innovation, then distills the weekend into three big nuggets of wisdom:
1️⃣ The only right answer to “Who won this trade?” is both.
2️⃣ If you want to create content, find a lane no one else is serving and just start.
3️⃣ Start conversations. Relationships are the real currency of this game.
It’s part travelogue, part masterclass, and a reminder that fantasy football is more about people than projections.
