Fantasy Football Insights and a Side Hustle
A League of His Own
Matthew Berry is a big deal in the fantasy football world. He's in 32 leagues this season, which is a lot, but makes sense given his influence in fantasy sports media. He's got leagues with:
- Coworkers
- Friends
- Investors
- Even his family
If you know Berry and aren't playing him in fantasy football, you might want to reconsider your friendship.
Fantasy Life: Berry's Brainchild
Berry's passion for fantasy football led him to start his own company, Fantasy Life, a one-stop shop for fantasy sports content, tools, and gaming. Big names like:
- Josh Allen
- Joe Burrow
- LeBron James
have invested in it. The company recently raised $7 million, showing it's gaining traction.
Week One Insights
Berry shared some thoughts on week one of the NFL season:
- Tyler Warren, a tight end, will be a top fantasy player.
- Hollywood Brown will be a key part of the Chiefs' offense.
- Ken Walker's role in his team's backfield is concerning, as Zach Charbonnet seems to be getting more work.
Player Predictions
Berry isn't worried about players like:
- Joe Burrow
- Ja'marr Chase
who had slow starts. He thinks it's too early to panic about them. He also doesn't believe Aaron Rodgers is suddenly back to his old self after a good game. Instead, he'd prefer Justin Fields going forward.
Commanders Fan
Berry is a diehard Washington Commanders fan. He's looking forward to seeing how his team holds up against the Green Bay Packers in week two. He thinks it's a real test for the Commanders, especially with the Packers' strong defense and the Commanders playing on a short week.
Fantasy Football Advice
Berry shared some advice for fantasy football players:
- Have fun and root for players you like.
- Fantasy success comes from talent and opportunity.
- Don't let emotions cloud your judgment when drafting and managing your team.
From Screenwriting to Broadcasting
Berry used to be a successful screenwriter, but he's now focused on fantasy sports and broadcasting. He misses being in a sitcom writer's room, but he's open to returning to writing in the future. He's also been pitching reality show ideas.
