    Fantasy Football: 2024 Video Game Edition [SyrupArcade Cast 12]

    Similar to last year, the MobileSyrup team is having a video game fantasy draft. We assembled the regular SyrupArcade Cast hosts, Dean Daley, Brad Shankar, Chris Brown and MobileSyrup freelancer and writer for The Gamer, Gabrielle Huston. From there, each person selects three games they believe will be the top-scoring of the year. The quartet will also do a follow-up podcast in the middle of the year after more titles are announced at 'Summer Game Fest' and other video game showcases, to add two more picks for a total of five each.
