·1 hr 2 min·4 clips

Jared Palmgren says this is “effectively an office hours” for start-sit and general college fantasy questions.

1. Chasing the Natty: A College Fantasy Football Podcast focuses on Week 5 college fantasy football start/sit calls and live chat questions. 2. Jared Palmgren hosts the stream as the voice of Chasing the Natty and the Campus of Canton Podcast Network. 3. The episode exists to help listeners set Week 5 lineups using projections, DraftKings totals, and defensive matchups. 4. Jared opens by comparing Denzel Boston and Demond Claiborne as possible sits, with Boston ranked WR17 on the year and Claiborne facing Georgia Tech. 5. He then field-tests Taylor Green versus Sawyer Robertson in a four-point passing touchdown league, where Arkansas and Baylor both project strong scoring spots. 6. Another early question asks who to sit among Miles Montgomery, Anthony Smith, and Daryl Gill in full PPR scoring. 7. Jared leans toward Gill because Syracuse-Duke carries a 60.5 over-under, while East Carolina and UCF matchups look less appealing for the other options. 8. He later compares Seth McGowan, Michael Ford, and Relique Brown and treats Brown as the risky option because Kyson Brown’s return could change the Arizona State backfield. 9. The stream also covers Yasin Willis versus Demond Claiborne, where Jared trusts Willis more in Syracuse’s high-scoring game against Duke. 10. A six-point passing touchdown question pushes him to choose Brennan Lewis over Jake Retzlaff and Dwayne Coleman because Coleman has the lowest projection of the three. 11. Jared repeatedly cites exact numbers, including Denzel Boston as WR17, the Tulane-Tulsa over-under at 53.5, and the Memphis-FAU over-under at 63.5. 12. He uses those numbers to argue that rushing quarterbacks like Lewis gain value in formats that reward passing touchdowns more heavily. 13. The chat reacts in real time, sometimes leaning opposite Jared, such as preferring Robertson over Green and Claiborne over Willis. 14. One recurring theme is that projected points can be nearly identical, forcing Jared to break ties with matchup quality and player role. 15. Another theme is that volume matters more than name value, especially in full PPR and for receivers like Daryl Gill or Louis Bond. 16. Jared also warns against overreacting to short sample sizes, as with Relique Brown and the uncertain Arizona State rotation. 17. The stream’s tone is fast, practical, and conversational, with Jared frequently checking projections while answering questions on the fly. 18. The format is a live office-hours Q&A that mixes solo analysis, chat polls, and quick follow-up explanations. 19. Listeners who play college fantasy football and need Week 5 lineup help will get the most from it. 20. Listeners looking for polished storytelling rather than roster advice may skip it.
