Ravens vs. Browns Takeaways + Top 15 Dynasty RBs (Ep. 630)
15/12/2020 Duration: 01h08minWe're here to talk about our top dynasty running backs alongside Matt Hicks of The Dynasty Draft Room! First, we recap last night's crazy game between the Ravens and Browns (2:46) and examine whether Lamar Jackson (9:04) has placed himself back into the top five at the QB position. The guys later dive into the Listener Mailbag and tackle all of your dynasty questions (20:57). Who should fantasy managers consider targeting in the middle or end of their rookie draft's first round (21:02), how many QBs should be taken ahead of Trevor Lawrence (29:25) in startup dynasty leagues, and which under-the-radar backup RBs could have nice upside next season (35:24)? The show concludes with the duo breaking down each of their top 15 RBs for dynasty formats (44:59). Where would we rank Aaron Jones (54:16) if he winds up on the Falcons next year and generally how much value should dynasty managers shopping Saquon Barkley (1:02:04) be looking for in exchange?

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 15 w/ Sigmund Bloom (Ep. 629)
15/12/2020 Duration: 01h01minThe fantasy semifinals are upon us! We're joined by Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com to break down the week's top waiver pickups. Is a soft Dallas defense enough of a reason for fantasy managers to trust Jeff Wilson (8:03) even though he's stuck in a timeshare with Raheem Mostert? Has James Washington (26:32) surpassed Chase Claypool (30:16) in the pecking order, why is Jalen Hurts (36:59) worth snatching off waivers even if you have better options, and is the Washington DST (47:25) actually a sneaky good option against Seattle? The trio ends the episode with a round of Drop or Keep (49:44) and we examine whether it's time to cut Michael Pittman (51:07), the Bills' RBs (52:40), and Tyler Lockett (55:49) among many others.

Week 14 Rapid Reaction & Fantasy Takeaways (Ep. 628)
14/12/2020 Duration: 01h05minWe're back to recap every NFL game from Sunday afternoon! Can we still trust Clyde Edwards-Helaire (3:12) and what's Tags' problem with Brandon Aiyuk (5:12)? After failing to produce against Dallas' horrendous pass defense, do either Tyler Boyd or Tee Higgins (13:55) have a high-enough floor to even be worth flex consideration? With age seemingly catching up to Tom Brady (26:10), how do we feel about him and the Buccaneers' passing offense over the next two weeks? Why is Tyler Lockett (41:21) no longer a must-start option and how concerned are we about Aaron Jones (46:15) consistently getting his workload capped?

Can managers expect Christian McCaffrey back this fantasy season (0:48) and is Antonio Gibson done (3:25)? What's the outlook for Josh Jacobs moving forward (4:43) and should there be any concern with A.J. Brown (7:04)? What does Brandon Allen starting for the Bengals mean for their receivers (34:25)?

DFS Lineup Advice: Week 14 (Ep. 626)
11/12/2020 Duration: 01h09minWe're with Matthew Betz of BallBlast Football to share our favorite cash (3:42) game and GPP (50:19) plays! Keenan Allen (11:16) can excel in a plus matchup versus the Falcons and hit value in cash games and Aaron Rodgers (16:53) has huge smash potential against an extremely ineffective Lions pass defense. If A.J. Brown sits or is limited, Corey Davis (32:47) is a great value play (especially in GPPs) who can produce a ton of points in a soft matchup with Jacksonville. With the Cowboys favored over the Bengals, can GPP players feel confident in taking a dart throw on Ezekiel Elliott (51:29) despite Dallas' poor offense and why is Tom Brady (55:53) an attractive high-upside option this week?

10/12/2020 Duration: 01h12minPaul Charchian of Fantasy Football Weekly joins the show as we break down our favorite starts (5:16), fades (37:13), and sleepers (56:43)! With Joe Mixon out again this week, how do we feel about Gio Bernard (2:10) in a soft matchup with Dallas? J.D. McKissic (9:08) could once again see plenty of target volume with Alex Smith under center, especially if Washington's run game struggles. Is Dalvin Cook (37:30) actually a strong fade against Tampa Bay's brick-wall run defense and should fantasy managers be concerned about Chase Claypool's (48:01) low snap count last week? The show ends with a Thursday Night Football preview (1:03:46) and we explain our hesitation to play Cam Akers (1:06:26) versus the Patriots.

Ray Garvin of Destination Devy is with us to recap Monday night's matchups (2:51) and chat about the value and confidence (or lack thereof) we have in several impactful players ahead of the fantasy postseason (16:36). We also tackle the listener mailbag (28:17), discuss our top dynasty trade targets (50:57), and share our very early 2021 NFL free agency predictions (59:16)! Who's the primary beneficiary in Washington's backfield if Antonio Gibson (3:24) is forced to miss time and can we have any real confidence in Clyde Edwards-Helaire (23:22) throughout the fantasy playoffs given his inconsistent workload? Do we expect James Robinson and Myles Gaskin (28:33) to retain their starting jobs next year and why should dynasty leaguers target Robert Tonyan (51:43) this offseason? Lastly, what do we think the future holds for players like Allen Robinson (1:00:24), Will Fuller (1:01:30), Jonnu Smith (1:03:21), Aaron Jones (1:04:31), and James Conner (1:06:01) in free agency?

08/12/2020 Duration: 01h02minIt's fantasy football playoff time! Our whole crew is here to share who their top waiver-wire pickups are heading into Week 14! Do lottery-ticket handcuffs in decent offenses have more value late in the year than high-floor depth pieces (16:08)? Tim Patrick's (26:02) surprising consistency despite Denver's erratic QB play is worth your attention and Mitch Trubisky (41:42) is in line for some positive touchdown regression in a soft matchup against Houston. Lastly, is it time to let go of Todd Gurley (53:05), Hayden Hurst (55:16), or Kareem Hunt (58:29)?

07/12/2020 Duration: 01h03minWe're back to recap all of Sunday afternoon's NFL games! Can Keke Coutee (2:44) be fully trusted next week against the Bears after a strong performance and what's our problem with T.Y. Hilton (5:31)? Does Alvin Kamara (8:30) still possess elite upside with Taysom Hill under center and how concerned are we about DeVante Parker's (20:56) value given his lack of yards with Tua Tagovailoa at QB? Despite his huge outing, can fantasy managers now start Jonathan Taylor (34:59) with confidence, and should Justin Herbert (59:54) still be played as a QB1 next week after being completely unraveled by the Patriots?

Afterward, Yates joins Dan to preview every single matchup from a fantasy standpoint (15:54)! How should fantasy managers evaluate the Dolphins' backfield (30:23) ahead of Sunday and where would we rank Devontae Booker (40:15) if Josh Jacobs sits? Is Miles Sanders (58:43) primed to smash against the Packers, or does Boston Scott's climbing snap share hurt our confidence in him?

Aaron Rodgers (17:35) is a safe option that DFS players should feel very comfortable using against Philadelphia. Can Miles Sanders (29:08) be trusted in cash considering how bad the Eagles' offense is, or is he better suited for tournaments? After an impressive showing last week, would it be smart to take a chance on Collin Johnson in tournaments even if D.J. Chark (49:25) plays?

Is Jonathan Taylor (13:02) a better play than Kareem Hunt and will Duke Johnson (20:31) be peppered with targets now that Will Fuller is out of the picture? Is Breshad Perriman (33:08) ready to exploit a suspect Raiders secondary and why should QB-needy fantasy managers consider rolling with Mitch Trubisky (42:38)?

01/12/2020 Duration: 01h02minWe cover a lot of ground on today's show with Garret Price from Dynasty Nerds! First, we break down last night's matchup between the Seahawks and the Eagles (4:46), then the trio mentions which players could wind up being league winners for fantasy managers down the stretch (34:03). The guys also provide an overview of next year's strong incoming rookie class (49:20) and how it could affect dynasty trading (54:48), and lastly, they round out the show by sharing who their top dynasty risers and fallers are (56:59)! Has D.K. Metcalf (4:46) cemented himself as one of fantasy's elite WRs in dynasty formats and what's wrong with Carson Wentz (14:47)? How has Will Fuller's (24:32) suspension affected his dynasty value and which players benefit the most from his absence (29:33)? A soft upcoming schedule gives Jonathan Taylor (34:44) league-winning upside and Antonio Gibson's (58:12) dynasty stock has soared thanks to how quickly he's learned how to succeed at the NFL level.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 13 (Ep. 617)
01/12/2020 Duration: 57minWe're joined by fantasy football Youtuber Andrew Kiorkof to discuss our favorite waiver wire pickups heading into Week 13. If Josh Jacobs misses time, would Devontae Booker (9:41) be the top back to add, or does the safety of Frank Gore (7:22) actually make him a preferable option? It may seem gross, but Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims (33:06) could both be viable waiver targets on a Jets offense that will consistently find itself in negative game scripts. After playing all the snaps and scoring a touchdown last week, is Gabriel Davis (41:28) primed for solid production while John Brown is out? We end the show with a game of Drop or Keep (51:45) and wonder whether it's time to let go of players like J.D. McKissic (52:53) and Leonard Fournette (55:03). Update: Jonathan Taylor has not yet tested positive for COVID-19 and is instead a high-risk close contact.

Can Latavius Murray (4:22) be trusted moving forward, what's Tags' problem with Justin Jefferson (6:11), and was there any way to predict Derek Carr's (11:06) surprisingly bad performance against the Falcons? Where does Austin Ekeler (18:51) move in our rankings after his return to the gridiron, who projects as the better RB the rest of the way between Alvin Kamara (43:27) and James Robinson (45:17), and is Tyreek Hill (54:18) now arguably the best WR in fantasy after his magnificent outing?

Should we step away from Josh Allen (10:56) in cash games if John Brown plays, or is an easy matchup against the Chargers primed to cede a ton of fantasy points to him anyway? Why would you be smart to include Wayne Gallman (16:38) in your fantasy lineup and does Julio Jones' availability affect whether or not you should play Calvin Ridley (42:47)?

We kick off the show by dissecting the latest news, including the Ravens' COVID situation and how it affects their backfield (3:28). Next, our trio hits the matchups (11:33)! The guys debate Todd Gurley's (28:46) viability and rave about why Wayne Gallman (41:37) should be deployed with confidence as an RB2. Should Tua Tagovailoa's struggles scare you away from playing DeVante Parker (1:02:12), or is a date with the Jets merely too good to pass up? Also, is Duke Johnson (1:29:40) a surefire RB2 and cash game play considering his easy matchup against the Lions, or is just impossible to trust him at this point?

We later dig into the rest of season strategy (28:59) and tackle interesting topics like whether it is acceptable to tank a matchup to influence playoff seeding (35:30)?

Is James White (6:50) arguably the most impactful widely available RB left on waivers and is Tevin Coleman (14:56) worth your attention, or are fantasy managers better served by rostering high-end handcuffs instead? We quickly shine light on the Ravens' COVID situation and discuss what that means for Gus Edwards (17:04). Is it time to give Frank Gore (20:25) another chance in light of LaMical Perine's ankle injury and who's the top available wideout between Sterling Shepard (26:10) and Michael Pittman (27:26)?

Is it time for fantasy managers to start pumping the brakes on their weekly expectations for Robby Anderson (12:25)? Was an easy matchup responsible for Michael Thomas' (29:12) nice outing, or was having Taysom Hill under center the primary cause for his production? How much will Joe Burrow's season-ending injury hurt Cincinnati's skill players (36:09) and will Tua Tagovailoa (39:01) be Miami's starter for the rest of the season, or has the door reopened for Ryan Fitzpatrick?
