Yahoo Sports is signing fantasy football commentators Josh Norris and Hayden Winks following the shutdown of Underdog’s original content network. Norris and Winks previously hosted Underdog’s Fantasy Football podcast until the end of the network’s content operations earlier this week. Yahoo announced that their show will move to Yahoo’s digital platforms and FAST airwaves, with the relaunch planned for later in July. The agreement positions Norris and Winks as part of Yahoo’s fantasy football programming roster, with Yahoo stating the analysts will host the show on Yahoo Sports channels beginning this season.
Across the coverage, the key details are that the move comes directly after Underdog shutters its original content network, that Norris and Winks are continuing the same type of fantasy football commentary format for a new outlet, and that Yahoo is handling the transition to its own distribution channels. The reporting also indicates the show will relaunch on Yahoo’s platforms after the transition period rather than immediately, aligning with a late-July restart timeline.
