Hall Call Ep 006 - Jake Ciely 8 - 30 - 19 by Hall Call

Football has staked out a claim as “America’s Game”, and the popularity the NFL has gained is due in large part to the growth of fantasy football. Fans still have their home teams to root for, but now they have their own teams made up of players from across the league to pull for as well. Fantasy football gives owners an interest in almost every NFL game played throughout the course of a weekend.

Here in Virginia, we are lucky to have a rising star in the coverage of fantasy football calling the Commonwealth home. Jake Ciely, a native of Virginia Beach and an award winning senior fantasy writer for The Athletic, brings his knowledge, rankings, and insight to the Hall Call Podcast. For his career, Jake is No. 1 in fantasy baseball ranking accuracy, and top-5 in football, including first overall in 2017. His research and perspective on the fantasy game takes you well beyond the projected box score and into your draft war room.

With the bulk of fantasy drafts happening the weekend prior to NFL kickoff, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and Jake Ciely are setting you up for success!
