Football is 72 hours away from kickoff, which is something I wasn’t sure I would’ve been able to say back in Spring. Part of the excitement about football is that on any given Sunday, anything could happen. Stars are born, players make imbeciles out of themselves on forgetful plays. Anything is in the realm of possibility on the field on NFL Thursdays, Sundays, Mondays, and the occasional Saturdays . With all the chaos that goes on during a game, sometimes it is impossible for even the best experts/analysts to always be correct. I speak for most of the Fantasy Football Community when I say there is nothing like blurting out an insane opinion only for it to somehow come to fruition. We can crunch the numbers, watch all the game films, and everything in between. Yet, without fail, some wild things happen on that field. Hot Takes are what makes people whip their head around, make their jaws drop to the floor, make them yell “I call Bullshit!” But one thing is for sure, if you hit on just a couple of hot takes, it’s the sweetest nectar that nature can give you. Being able to parade around all off season saying that you knew that Player X was a stud, or that Player Y was an embarrassment to his family and can no longer show his face in his hometown. That euphoria of knowing you were right and everyone else was wrong, honestly what is better than that?
Some of the fantasy community will give you a few hot takes, here at FFD? We are firm believers in Go Big, or Go Home. We have made a list of our individual Hot Takes for the 2020 NFL season for ALL 32 NFL teams. Most are fantasy related, some are just football related, others…. Well you will at least get a chuckle out of them. We are busting out wild takes, new nicknames, and much more in the first annual edition of Smokin’ Hot Takes. Leave a comment below about which Hot Takes you agree with or disagree with. Listen to the FFD Podcast for Hot Takes all year long, and our favorite three Hot Takes for preseason of 2020 on the next episode airing Wednesday!
