Let’s just have an honest conversation. Most of us, at some point in school, had to mumble our way through a half-baked PowerPoint presentation. We were just trying to survive. Field Yates is being paid millions to do the same thing, only worse.
I genuinely have no idea what Yates brings to the table. None. Please, someone, tell me what value he adds to ESPN. He’s the living embodiment of a 14-year-old reading PowerPoint slides aloud on a topic he doesn’t understand, minus any entertainment value.
You can’t argue these points:
The guy is brain dead and not actually intelligent about what he speaks on. We’re talking about a guy who had Anthony Richardson QB3 in fantasy last year. You can’t hide the evidence.
Let’s be real: Yates isn’t even brain dead. He’s not real at all. He operates like a robot NPC — a fake human running a script that hasn’t been updated since 2013. When your QB3 can’t complete a high school pass, we’re not talking about bad luck. We’re talking about incompetence.No hindsight bias involved.
And we haven’t even hit the main point yet…
He is unwatchable.
Mel Kiper’s podcast should work. But it doesn’t — because Yates nukes it with a barrage of worthless word vomit. ESPN genuinely thought this was their fantasy anchor post-Matthew Berry? Frankly, it’s a joke.
Has the platform grown since? Has it innovated? You already know the answer.
No.
Side note — while looking for a usable image of Yates (since none exist in our library), I found this blog — and it’s gold. Brutal. Accurate. Spot on. Turns out, I’m not the only one who sees it.
Field Yates isn’t just boring — he’s the personification of a PowerPoint slide: flat, generic, and out of touch with the actual game.
