Fantasypros - Fantasy Football Podcast

Dr. David Chao returns to give his take on the injuries to Kyler Murray (0:58), Davante Adams (3:19), Drew Brees (3:53), Teddy Bridgewater (4:41), and Matthew Stafford (5:50) along with a couple others. Later, Dan and Yates team up to recap last night's game (13:55) and preview every upcoming matchup (19:25). How strong of a handcuff is Carlos Hyde (15:03) for the foreseeable future after his solid performance on Thursday night? What do we expect from Taysom Hill (47:05) and where are we ranking Michael Thomas as a result? Is Kalen Ballage (53:07) actually a must-start option in his revenge game against the Jets?

Our friend, Jake Ciely of The Athletic, is with us to go over the best DFS cash game (2:21) and GPP (38:41) plays this week! Which WR makes sense as the optimal high-end option between Terry McLaurin (6:29) and Keenan Allen (7:54)? There is no shortage of viable cash game RBs all across the main slate from Mike Davis (2:23) to Gio Bernard (23:42), Salvon Ahmed (26:03), and Kalen Ballage (27:17). Would it be wise for savvy GPP players to take a chance on Alex Smith (44:07)? NOTE: This show was recorded before the D'Andre Swift concussion news. His status is now in doubt for the Lions-Panthers game. Sponsors: Omaha Steaks - Omaha Steaks isn’t just “steak,” it’s a guaranteed fantastic gift and a safe way to share the joy of the season.

Ryan Noonan of FTN is with us as we share our favorite starts (5:45), fades (41:19), and sleepers (57:30) for Week 11. Why should fantasy managers seriously consider Kalen Ballage (5:56) as a viable RB2 this week and possibly even a consistent flex option moving forward? Should we trust Joe Burrow (27:38) and his high volume in a tough matchup against Washington and is it crazy to expect Kareem Hunt (44:20) to be a borderline RB1 option against the Eagles' run defense? We finish the show by breaking down Thursday's matchup between Arizona and Seattle (1:02:47) and the guys attempt to understand how best to approach Seattle's backfield (1:05:58).

Trevor Sikkema of The Draft Network joins us on our final trade show of the year as we recap Monday night's game (4:55), discuss a plethora of trade candidates (16:53), and share our biggest rest of season risers and fallers (55:31)! Frustrated fantasy managers have been flocking to sell Michael Thomas (17:21) ahead of the trade deadline and Duke Johnson (32:01) has become a prime target for teams looking to make a playoff push. Would it be wise to sell high and capitalize on Ronald Jones' (50:54) big game last week? We finish the show by dipping into the listener mailbag (1:09:30). Can Taysom Hill (1:10:03) be played a top-12 TE the rest of the way considering the position's dearth of production?

Scott Engel of RotoBaller joins us to discuss this week's top pickups at every position (2:43) and the guys give their thoughts on who it's time to consider dropping (51:33)! What kind of impact will the injuries to Teddy Bridgewater (3:49) and Drew Brees (5:55) have on their respective offenses? Is Salvon Ahmed (13:56) or Alex Collins (26:15) the best short-term RB add and who is the better long-term bet between Cam Akers (9:05) and Nyheim Hines (14:34)? Will Kalen Ballage (21:57) to lead the Chargers' backfield until Austin Ekeler returns, does Sammy Watkins (32:06) get too many targets to leave on waivers, and how attractive of a fantasy option is Jameis Winston (44:51) for the foreseeable future?

We're back to analyze all the Sunday afternoon NFL action! Can J.D. McKissic (5:04) be trusted for the rest of the season and what's Tags' problem with Brandon Aiyuk (8:53)? Is Aaron Jones (18:46) no longer a bell-cow RB, or was Jamaal Williams' sizeable chunk of the workload a fluke? Does Jerry Jeudy's (39:31) target volume make him a weekly plug-and-play option, or is he still far too inconsistent for fantasy managers to rely upon? Also, how much of a hit would Michael Thomas' (52:24) value take with Jameis Winston under center? Timestamps: Trust or Bust - 0:02:22 Ronald Jones - 0:02:32 Wayne Gallman - 0:04:01 J.D.

Dr. David Chao of ProFootballDoc.com breaks down the injury situations of Christian McCaffrey (1:40), Austin Ekeler (3:25), Ben Roethlisberger (5:14), and several others. Next, Dan and Yates recap Thursday's game (18:15) and preview every upcoming matchup (24:28)! Can fantasy managers trust any member of the Colts' backfield (18:27) moving forward and what do we make of the Dolphins' RB (49:50) situation? Lastly, will Lamar Jackson (1:04:52) take advantage of a Patriots defense that was torched by Joe Flacco last week, or is Baltimore's signal-caller primed to disappoint once again?

Chris Raybon from The Action Network is here to help us discuss this week's best cash (3:38) and GPP (36:12) plays. Who's the better play between Keenan Allen (7:00) and Michael Thomas (8:31)? Don't sleep on Justin Herbert's (30:05) floor in cash games and Cam Sims (40:04) is a very deep play who can pay off against the Lions in GPPs.

Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Sports is back on with us as we discuss our favorite starts (4:54), fades (38:24), and sleepers (53:46) for Week 10! Is Jarvis Landry (14:05) primed to be a target machine against the Texans, or will his injuries, Cleveland's low passing volume, and the return of Austin Hooper all hinder his production? Is it wise for fantasy managers who roster Mark Andrews (28:24) to explore alternative options at TE this week? Justin Jefferson's (42:05) big play ability does give him a nice ceiling, but a tough matchup against the Bears is concerning. The show concludes with a preview of Thursday's contest between the Colts and Titans (59:53).

Brandon Funston of The Athletic has returned as we give our takes on fantasy's most traded players (12:33) and our top trade candidates (32:24). We start the show with a recap of Monday's action and discern whether Jakobi Meyers (4:38) is a viable fantasy starter moving forward. What kind of value does D.J. Moore (17:50) have on the trade market and is it time to buy low on Jonathan Taylor (38:14) despite his recent lack of work? The show concludes with the trio sharing who has risen and fallen down their rest of season rankings the most (50:34) and the guys answering questions from our listener mailbag (1:05:03)! Can Lamar Jackson (1:01:06) still be viewed as a top-10 QB despite his struggles this season and does J.K. Dobbins (1:06:57) have any fantasy value?

The whole crew is here to dissect this week's top waiver pickups (3:26) and shed light on which players are on the fantasy roster bubble (52:50)! Jordan Wilkins (10:19) can finish the season as the leader of the Colts' backfield, but can fantasy managers truly rely on him for production if he's stuck in a committee with Jonathan Taylor? Jalen Reagor (30:29) is potentially the top widely available WR addition (and arguably the best add of the week), but why wouldn't it be wise to spend a ton of FAB on him? Despite his limited role, does Nelson Agholor (41:48) deserve to be on fantasy squads thanks to his incredible efficiency?

Dan and Tags return to break down all the Sunday afternoon action! Is Curtis Samuel (1:24) now someone who can mostly be trusted nearly every week and what's Tags' problem with A.J. Brown (5:31)? How do we feel about the Baltimore RBs (8:59) after the team's rough offensive performance against the Colts' tough defense? After receiving just three targets for two catches and 18 yards, is it time for us to finally accept that D.J. Moore (30:35) can no longer be consistently relied upon? Is there any Steelers WR (51:42) who has a clear edge over the others and are they all startable moving forward?

We kick things off with Dr. David Chao of ProFootballDoc.com, who shares his analysis on notable injured fantasy studs like Chris Godwin (0:46), Chris Carson (2:34), and George Kittle (5:09). Yates and Dan then give their picks for this week's Accuracy Challenge (8:10) and hit the matchups (12:30)! Are Marquez Valdes-Scantling (13:56) and Richie James (17:10) interesting options moving forward or were both of their big outings a fluke? Can fantasy managers feel confident starting either of the Bills' RBs (29:54) against Seattle and is Leonard Fournette (1:02:24) now the primary back in Tampa Bay or will Ronald Jones steal his thunder? Lastly, should you wait a week to play Antonio Brown (1:04:51) or would you do well to bank on his upside?

We've got Dave Loughran from Awesemo.com on the pod to talk about this week's best cash (2:59) and GPP (41:06) plays. James Conner (3:06) appears to be the best play at RB considering his easy matchup and a $6,900 price tag on DraftKings. Is D.J. Moore (28:06) a safe enough option for cash games in what should be a shootout against the Chiefs, or does the Chiefs' strong pass defense lower his floor too much? Coming off a solid showing last week, will Washington run their offense through Antonio Gibson (41:40) again in a game where he should benefit from a positive game script, or does the Football Team's poor offense make him too risky?

Matthew Freedman, Editor-in-Chief at FantasyLabs, joins us as we dive into our top starts (6:15), fades (42:23), and sleepers (57:42) for Week 9. Is Jerick McKinnon (7:05) a strong RB2 or is JaMycal Hasty slated to be the main man in the 49ers' backfield? Is Corey Davis (29:11) due for a second-half breakout and should fantasy managers fade D.J. Chark (50:17) without hesitation with Jake Luton under center for Jacksonville? Before signing off, we quickly preview Thursday night's game between the Packers and 49ers (1:04:17).

We're back to share our thoughts on our top trade candidates along with who is rising up or falling down our rankings as we enter the second half of the fantasy season (46:43). The show begins with a recap of last night's contest between the Buccaneers and Giants (4:24). Next, Dan and Yates discuss the most traded players (14:54), analyze Ezekiel Elliott's (15:28) value moving forward, and advise fantasy managers what they should do with Jonathan Taylor (27:03) and his disappointing production. Who are we buying low and selling high (37:06), has Stefon Diggs (42:52) been too productive to trade away despite his difficult upcoming schedule, and is Kareem Hunt (49:47) now less valuable than David Montgomery after failing to make the most of his opportunities?

Derek Brown of FTN is with us as we discuss our top waiver wire pickups at each position for the upcoming week! Are the Colts ready to cede a lot more work to Jordan Wilkins (4:51), is Jalen Reagor (34:00) a top immediate WR pickup despite his Week 9 bye, and what is Drew Lock's (43:24) upside with a juicy matchup against the Falcons on tap? We finish the show with another installment of Drop or Keep (54:39). Is it time for fantasy managers to cut bait on Drew Brees (56:50) and John Brown (59:22)?

Dan and Tags are back to recap all of Sunday afternoon's NFL action! Can either of Buffalo's RBs be trusted moving forward and which one has the most value (3:02)? What's Tags' problem with Jared Cook (6:35)? What should fantasy managers do with Jonathan Taylor (16:44) after a lousy performance and what is the impact Tua Tagovailoa (40:28) is expected to have on the entire Dolphins' offense moving forward after a horrible showing from the Miami passing game? Does Dalvin Cook's incredible day significantly hurt the outlook for Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson (46:56), or was weather to blame for their lackluster production?

Dr. David Chao is back on to share his take on injuries suffered by impactful players like Calvin Ridley (0:48), Joe Mixon (2:15), Chris Carson (3:34), Aaron Jones (5:35), Kenyan Drake (7:15), Jalen Reagor (7:52), Michael Thomas (9:27), and Gardner Minshew (11:15). Dan and Yates then recap last night's game (18:06) and discuss every single upcoming game for Week 8 (26:15). Why should fantasy managers sell high on Todd Gurley (19:42), can a matchup against the Jets actually negatively impact Patrick Mahomes' (42:06) ceiling, and why can fantasy managers no longer trust Ezekiel Elliott (1:12:22) as an RB1?

Who are this week's best cash game (3:19) and GPP (47:19) options on DraftKings and FanDuel? The author of the best selling Fantasy Black Book series, Joe Pisapia, joins us once again as we tackle that question. Windy weather, a great matchup, and a relatively lower price all make Kareem Hunt a smash play (7:04). If Aaron Jones sits, is Jamaal Williams (30:18) an automatic play, or should you be concerned about Minnesota's run defense? Rashard Higgins (50:06) could be hampered by windy weather, but don't overlook his chemistry with Baker Mayfield. Sponsors: StatHero - 4th and goal, it's time to shine!
