Fantasypros - Fantasy Football Podcast

In our final Sunday recap show of the 2018 NFL season, we take a look at each game from Saturday and Sunday afternoon and analyze how the outcomes affect the fantasy landscape moving forward. One of the most surprising Championship Week performances was from C.J. Anderson (1:23), who was less than a week removed from being a free agent. Where might Baker Mayfield (20:03) and Amari Cooper (25:04) be drafted next season, what does the future hold for Matthew Stafford (32:21) and the rest of the Lions, and is Carolina giving Christian McCaffrey (51:07) too many touches?

Joe Holka joins us today for our DFS show and chats with us about our top cash game and GPP plays. We give our thoughts on Josh Gordon (1:41) leaving the Patriots after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy again and later evaluate who might gain relevance with his departure (39:53). The projected game script is favorable for Josh Allen (18:12) to produce, we debate Christian McCaffrey's (19:56) usefulness with Taylor Heinicke under center, and the guys praise Davante Adams (31:58) as a top option this week. Who is the better play between Zach Ertz and Eric Ebron (42:57) and would John Kelly (56:57) be a must-play in cash games if Todd Gurley sits?

Jeff Ratcliffe from Pro Football Focus hops in with us as we break down our rankings and give our thoughts on which borderline players you should start and sit during the fantasy finals. Who should fantasy owners trust the most between Damien Williams, Jamaal Williams, and Leonard Fournette (7:59), how high should John Kelly (14:32) be ranked if Todd Gurley sits, and what do we make of Mike Williams, Josh Reynolds (31:17), and Curtis Samuel (33:23) this week? Was it a mistake to draft Aaron Rodgers (40:57) early in drafts and what can we expect from him against the Jets? We finish off the show with a few intriguing bold predictions (57:24).

Welcome to Championship Week! Our dynamic duo spends today's show examining the top spot-starts for the fantasy football finals. We kick things off by breaking down the latest news on the injuries to Aaron Jones (3:30), Ito Smith (4:52), and Todd Gurley (6:49), then dive into the potential return of Hunter Henry (7:29). The guys debate whether John Kelly (12:05) should be this week's top pickup. DaeSean Hamilton's (30:21) high target volume when he starts makes him a viable WR option and Robby Anderson (36:36) can be relied upon as a desperation play because of his upside. The show concludes with a few interesting rounds of fact or fiction (49:31).

Congratulations if you survived week 15 as we saw some players get injured early, while others simply left owners out in the cold. Things weren't ugly everywhere though, as Kenny Golladay re-emerged in a plus matchup (33:02) and Derrick Henry went off again (50:34). We're going game by game discussing key takeaways and more importantly, what we can expect from all the key players heading into the championship round for most fantasy leagues. What do we make of Kenyan Drake's lack of carries (5:06), what is Jamaal Williams' value moving forward (7:58), what happens with Damien Williams and Spencer Ware (9:19), can you trust players from struggling teams like the Browns (20:02), Bills (31:25),  Raiders, and Bengals (38:43)?

Justin MacMahan from Daily Fantasy Insider joins the gang for today's show where we share our favorite DFS cash game and GPP plays at each position. Josh Johnson's (12:18) rushing may provide him a solid enough floor for both cash game and GPP use and Aaron Jones' (23:55) talent and upside make him ideal for tournaments. Plus, Vernon Davis (45:31) still has a lot more gas left in the tank than you might think and Randall Cobb's (56:37) tasty DB matchup makes him an ideal tournament play. Lastly, can Zach Zenner (1:02:45) get enough touches to be a sneaky GPP option?

Joe Pisapia, author of the Fantasy Black Book series, hops in with us as we scour through our fantasy rankings and break down which borderline players should be given the nod in your lineups this week. If he plays, should you consider benching Odell Beckham (5:43) because of how banged up he is, is it worth seeing if lightning can strike twice with Derrick Henry (17:01), and is Courtland Sutton (31:22) finally ready to start producing as Denver's top wideout? Does Josh Reynolds (35:53) carry enough upside to make him a viable dart throw and who is the better QB streamer between Josh Allen (51:42) and Nick Foles (52:56)?

Justin Boone of theScore joins the guys today and together we share our top waiver wire adds of the week for each position. Damien Williams (7:36) deserves your attention as the probable leader of the Chiefs backfield if Spencer Ware sits, but are Derrick Henry and Jalen Richard (20:11) even better RB options if they are still available in your league? Has Curtis Samuel (33:59) become Carolina's top wideout, is Josh Allen (35:23) a streamer-worthy option against the Lions, and can fantasy owners trust Vernon Davis (46:47) this week? We finish things off right with some fact or fiction (53:03). Sponsors: Audible – Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks and original audio performances anywhere on the web.

Today, we analyze each game that took place before Sunday night to extract the most notable fantasy nuggets from them all. Should Derrick Henry's (6:31) outlook be adjusted after running wild on the Jaguars, are there any Packers receivers (23:07) who fantasy owners can trust outside of Davante Adams, and will Lamar Jackson (26:53) keep the Ravens' starting QB job if he's healthy? Should you actually consider benching Drew Brees (37:38) next week and just how impactful has moving to Dallas been for Amari Cooper's (54:58) value going into next season?

Matthew Freedman of FantasyLabs joins the crew today as we share our top DFS plays for both cash games and GPPs. Pittsburgh's run-friendly system and Jaylen Samuels' (9:27) receiving chops make it hard to stray from him. Is Justin Jackson (18:32) truly the lead back for the Chargers and what are his odds of scoring double-digit fantasy points (21:56)? DeAndre Hopkins (32:05) offers a fantastic combination of safety and upside for a lower price than other high-end options, Antonio Brown (36:09) might be set up to disappoint relative to his cost, and Jared Cook (50:58) figures to be a target hog with relatively low ownership.

We scour through our rankings and give you the lowdown on which guys you should bench or insert into your lineups. First, we tackle the Emmanuel Sanders (1:38) injury news and discuss who will benefit the most in Denver. Will the Steelers really employ a running back committee this week (10:29) and is Curtis Samuel (29:31) a lock or are Devin Funchess' involvement and Cam Newton's shoulder bug concerns? How will Mitchell Trubisky's return and a matchup with the Rams affect Trey Burton's production (45:15) and what are our bold predictions heading into Week 14 (51:58)?

Brandon Marianne Lee of The Athletic joins us as we shine light on this week's top waiver pickups. Jaylen Samuels (9:46) is still worth scooping up even with James Conner's high probability of playing, but do players like Justin Jackson (12:18) and LeGarrette Blount (17:23), who will both probably start next week, deserve more or less attention? Does DeVante Parker (38:02) have enough upside to make himself worth a pickup, are there any major differences between Lamar Jackson (44:41) and Josh Allen (45:47), and does Dan Arnold (53:54) deserve your attention now that he's New Orleans' top TE? To finish things off, we tackle a listener mailbag question (58:19) regarding the best low-cost RBs and WRs in dynasty leagues.

Michael Moore (Pro Football Focus) is in with us to help analyze each early and late afternoon game from a fantasy perspective. At the start of the show, we dive into the fallout from this weekend's big news regarding Kareem Hunt (1:15) and project what Spencer Ware's rest of season value is like. Has Tre'Quan Smith (8:00) become droppable and how does his value compare to Courtland Sutton (19:50) and Josh Reynolds (42:43)? In addition, is it time to downgrade Aaron Rodgers (28:51) to streamer status, should we view Tevin Coleman (50:47) as nothing more than a matchup play, and who the heck is Jeff Wilson (1:00:01)?

Today we are joined by Doug Norrie from DFSR.com to break down our top DFS cash game and GPP plays for this week. Jared Goff's (10:54) matchup against Detroit might be too tasty to pass up, but would it make sense to save money and spend low at RB on Lamar Miller (22:50) and should DFS players be trying to pay up for Tyreek Hill (31:42)? Jarvis Landry (44:08) comes with some risk, but is his talent and upside worth taking a chance on in cash games? Is Cameron Brate's (48:57) upside capped or was O.J. Howard's presence holding him back, and is Baker Mayfield's (1:03:42) floor and efficiency worth banking on in GPPs against a tough Texans defense?

Jason Moore from The Fantasy Footballers is with our crew today as we all share our analysis on which borderline players should be stuck in lineups or sat on the bench. With Marlon Mack (7:20) still in concussion protocol, will Jordan Wilkins or Nyheim Hines be the main beneficiary if Mack is out, are Jordan Howard (21:37) and Doug Martin (23:48) both startable options, and should fantasy owners fear Larry Fitzgerald's (35:49) matchup? Is it time for everyone to acknowledge Adam Humphries' (40:37) consistency and how high is Lamar Jackson's (53:46) ceiling?

Pat Fitzmaurice from TheFootballGirl.com joins today's show and together we give our thoughts on this week's top waiver wire options for each position. How big will Justin Jackson's (4:20) role be without Melvin Gordon, who is the preferred pickup between Josh Adams and Gus Edwards (18:09), and what concerns should fantasy owners have regarding Curtis Samuel (28:38)? In addition, which defenses can do the most damage in the fantasy playoffs (41:08) and has Baker Mayfield (50:21) already established himself as a top-10 QB?

We're here to put each game under the microscope and share our biggest fantasy takeaways from Week 12's matchups. Nick Chubb (3:02) and the Cleveland Browns appear to have a bright future ahead, Amari Cooper (16:27) was definitively the standout player on Thanksgiving, and Adam Humphries (26:43) strongly deserves your attention. How should we view Doug Baldwin (46:54) and Tyler Lockett moving forward though, how much time could Melvin Gordon (56:08) miss and who would benefit the most from his absence, and is it time to drop our optimism regarding Courtland Sutton (1:01:49)?

We break down this week's best DFS options on today's show. Nick Mullens (6:26) has a nice shot at hitting value against Tampa Bay, Christian McCaffrey's (16:57) ceiling may be lower than it has been in recent weeks, and Adam Humphries (30:19) figures to be a solid value option in cash games. Cameron Brate (36:36) is far and away the most obvious TE play, but who else at the position heavily deserves your attention (38:08)? Before concluding the show, we share our top three plays for the Thanksgiving slate (49:51).

On today's show we are joined by Doug Orth from FF Today and together we examine which borderline options you should insert into your lineup or sit on your bench. Should fantasy owners have full confidence in Marlon Mack (8:15) and Dalvin Cook (10:03) coming off relatively lackluster performances, is Tre'Quan Smith (25:55) suddenly a top-20 WR option, and does Taylor Gabriel (39:05) have a big week in store or is he too far down Chicago's receiving totem pole? In addition, can Chris Herndon (45:25) be considered a TE1 this week and will Russell Wilson's (54:00) lack of pass attempts catch up with him against Carolina?

Jake Ciely from The Athletic is in with us to discuss this week's top waiver wire options at each position. Who is the best widely available RB between Gus Edwards and Josh Adams (2:13), is D.J. Moore (18:20) the undisputed top wideout fantasy owners should target, and does Lamar Jackson deserve more consideration than Jameis Winston (34:59) if both are available? Also, does Eli Manning (41:52) have viability as a streamer and will Le'Veon Bell (55:34) be a first-round draft pick next preseason?
