How are local college students’ fantasy football teams doing?

We all have thought we were going to win the entire fantasy league right after the draft. No matter where we drafted from, who we were going against, or how much the buy in is. But the only thing that prevents us from victory is fantasy bust, the waiver wire and where we draft from.

In today’s video, I interviewed local college students from Saddleback and asked them how their fantasy team was doing. We had various answers, some of them were outright hilarious.

We had positive answers like when I asked Bradley how his fantasy team was doing, he said, “Mines doing alright, I’m 3-2 right now. Bye weeks going to hit hard, but after that I think I should be cruzzing.”

But when I asked Bradley’s friend, Dustin, he said, “Not so good right now, 1 and like 4 right now. I have Ceedee Lamb and George Kittle on the injury reserve, so hopefully I survive the next few weeks.”

The purpose of this is to gauge public interest and awareness of fantasy football among college students and see how they’re managing their teams this season. 

Here’s the full transcript:
