Tuesday, September 1st at 5:00 p.m. ET, the virtual tables are set: 12 of fantasy football’s sharpest minds are about to clash in a league like no other, and you can watch every single pick unfold live. This isn’t some quick mock draft, either. We’re talking about a season-long battle, Half-PPR scoring, managed rosters, and storylines that will run all year. These experts, the same ones you trust for your rankings and start/sit calls, are putting their reputations on the line.
The Expert Lineup Is Absolutely Stacked
The roster for this Yahoo Expert League is just wild, man. We’ve got some serious fantasy royalty stepping up. First, there’s Justin Boone, a two-time FantasyPros Most Accurate Expert Award winner in 2019 and 2025, with nine top-10 finishes. That dude knows how to pick ’em. Then you’ve got Matt Harmon, the host of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast and the genius behind Reception Perception. But here’s the kicker: Matt *did not* love getting the eighth overall pick! Seriously, clips of him “crashing out” over the 8th pick were flying around, and it was classic. The draft hasn’t even started and the drama is already real!
Josh Norris, who hosts Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh and Hayden, is in the mix too, and get this: he’s known for producing the most accurate mock draft in NFL Draft history. Think about that for a second. Scott Pianowski is a Fantasy Sports Writer Association Hall of Famer, an award-winning writer, and a podcaster with nominations in four sports. Joel Smyth brings his in-depth analysis, while Hayden Winks, also from Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh and Hayden, is a three-time FSWA and Webby Award winner. We also get Eric Froton, a three-time FSWA College Sports Writer of the Year, plus Chris Allen leveraging his mechanical engineering background for analytical breakdowns. Ray Garvin, a former college player who created Destination Devy, will bring his deep understanding of NFL schemes. And Nate Tice, a former University of Wisconsin QB who was an NFL coach and scout, will analyze trends. Rounding it out are Eric Edholm, covering the NFL for over two decades and a lead draft analyst, and Max Loeb from Yahoo Fantasy social. Talk about a murderers’ row!
This Ain’t Your Buddy’s Draft Night
This isn’t just for bragging rights on one night. These are 12 fully managed rosters that will battle it out all season long. Every decision, every waiver wire move, every trade, it’s all going to be tracked, analyzed, and talked about by the very people whose advice we follow every Sunday. It’s a chance to see how the sausage is made, how these guys apply their own strategies in a real, high-stakes league. With Half-PPR scoring, every reception counts, making wide receiver evaluation by folks like Harmon even more critical.
So, what’s at stake? Ultimate fantasy glory for these experts, and an incredible season-long storyline for us fans. You need to tune in Tuesday, September 1st at 5:00 p.m. ET on YouTube, X, or the Yahoo Sports Network. Seriously, clear your schedule. You gotta see who these legends grab and watch the drama unfold all season long!
