‘This Is Huge’ – NFL Podcaster Alleges New Evidence in Matt Miller Fantasy League Scandal
· Yahoo Sports
ESPN’s NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller has been making headlines recently, but it has had nothing to do with football.

Instead, it’s because he’s being investigated by the Missouri attorney general for allegedly scamming his followers out of money he promised would go toward charity. This comes after a devastating car accident that required multiple surgeries and a life-saving amputation of his arm.
Now, one NFL podcaster provided some new information on Miller’s alleged scam, resurfacing audio of Miller’s brother potentially incriminating himself.
Tony Farmer May Have Found New Evidence In Matt Miller Fantasy Football Scandal
Earlier this month, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office opened an investigation into Miller. This was in response to numerous people coming forward and alleging that the ESPN analyst was scamming his followers using charity fantasy football leagues.
Miller allegedly started many leagues with an entry fee of $100, with half of the pot supposedly going to charity. However, many of the league’s winners never received their winnings, and there was no proof that the other half of the funds had been sent to charity. Miller was also accused of ghosting individuals who paid him for scouting lessons, but the current investigation focuses on the fantasy football leagues.
According to Awful Announcing, Miller was the commissioner of more than 91 leagues on Sleeper in 2025 alone before he was ultimately banned from the app.
After Miller was involved in a car accident with a semi-truck earlier this year, his family set up a GoFundMe for his followers to help with his medical bills. More than $50,000 was raised and prominent ESPN employees donated, including Pat McAfee, Adam Schefter, and Mina Kimes. However, the GoFundMe brought attention to a Reddit thread with the allegations against Miller, which then went viral on X as more accusations poured in.

Now, NFL podcaster Tony Farmer believes he’s uncovered new evidence that links Miller’s brother, Marshal, to the scheme.
“Holy crap, I found it. Matt Miller’s brother Marshal acknowledging on tape he goes by ‘EmmandEmm.’ This is huge,” Farmer wrote on X. “Why it matters: 1) Now 2 different nicknames he goes by (also “melloesquire”) – often registered in the SAME Matt Miller charity fantasy leagues. Unless someone else was controlling these accounts with his alias, it appears Marshal Miller secretly controlled TWO teams in some of Miller’s leagues.
“Miller played in each league too so it appears the brothers sometimes controlled 3 of the 12 teams in the league! (There could be teams we don’t know too).”
Farmer further stated that Marshal Miller’s username “EmmandEmm” registered for 19 of Matt Miller’s fantasy leagues between 2024 and 2025. His other username, “MelloEsquire,” registered for 52 of Matt Miller’s fantasy leagues between 2024 and 2025, and both usernames were in the same league 12 times.

“Remember that each owner was expected to pay $100 and half that money was promised to Matt for charity,” Farmer continued. “Do you think Marshal was paying registration fees? If the answer is no, then it raises questions about the actual amount of money that went to charity vs. what was promised.”
It’s unclear if this is accurate, but it’s just the latest aspect of this scandal that leads to more questions than answers. Miller is currently on a leave of absence at ESPN as he recovers from his accident.
Recently, Miller broke his silence on the allegations in an exchange with The Athletic.
“Because this is an active investigation, I’ve been told by legal counsel to limit my response,” Miller said in an email. “However, I’ve tried reaching out to all the winners from the last season to make sure they’ve been paid.
“My [direct messages] on all social media remain open for winners to contact me. Because of my limited access to my original email account, I have had trouble authenticating winners, but everyone who finished in first, second, or third place will be paid out, and I’ve worked hard to make that happen.”
