Fantasypros - Fantasy Football Podcast

The Saints crushed the Eagles, Alex Smith was knocked out for the season, and Lamar Jackson started at QB, but ran with the ball 27 times! We're back with our weekly recap and one question some of you may be asking is, who is Gus Edwards (1:34)? Chris Carson appears to be the top dog as long as he's healthy (8:37), Kerryon Johnson got hurt so what should we make of the Lions RB depth (16:43), and is D.J. Moore better for fantasy than Devin Funchess at this point (20:15)? What's going to happen in Tennessee if Mariota misses time (24:55) and what are the impacts of Alex Smith's season-ending injury (39:56)? Phillip Lindsay continues to beast (1:00:08), here comes Keenan Allen's second-half surge (1:02:10), and it's time to move Josh Adams up the rankings (1:06:12).

Our crew shines light on their favorite DFS plays in today's show. We debate whether Dak Prescott (4:01) is a good cash game play, explain why David Johnson (19:28) should provide solid value, and share our thoughts on Julio Jones' (24:17 & 26:02) cash game viability. Should DFS players do whatever they can to fit Zach Ertz (40:18) into their lineup and is Doug Martin (53:57) a secret GPP weapon or a dud in the making?

Today we are joined by Jeff Ratcliffe from Pro Football Focus as we dish out our insight on which borderline players should get the nod or ride the pine. Who is the better QB play between Ryan Fitzpatrick and Mitch Trubisky (11:29), is Alex Collins (20:04) too underrated, and how do fantasy owners approach the Seattle backfield (27:26)? Also, is Corey Davis (34:53 and 37:03) beginning to cement himself as a dominant NFL WR and where might Le'Veon Bell (59:52) end up next year?

Michael Beller from Sports Illustrated joins our crew in today's show and together we break down this week's top waiver options. How relevant is Josh Reynolds in the wake of Cooper Kupp's (1:49) season-ending injury, has Rashaad Penny (7:28) fully taken the reigns in Seattle's backfield after his big game, and what is Keke Coutee's (28:27) rest of season outlook like coming off the Texans' Week 10 bye? Is Jeff Heuerman (38:13) or Ricky Seals-Jones the best widely available tight end streamer and is Doug Martin (57:29) arguably the top RB add this week if he's available in your league?

One of the biggest performances from a Week 10 that was chalked full of offense was Eric Ebron's (3:02) three-touchdown game, but is his hyper-efficiency sustainable? Speaking of three-score outings, was Christian McCaffery's (16:29) huge game on Thursday less impressive than it may have seemed? On Sunday, we also witnessed the continuation of Tom Brady's (34:36) struggles on the road, Marlon Mack (41:55) getting held to just 29 rushing yards, and the big Aaron Jones (55:41) breakout game we've all been waiting for.

Davis Mattek from Swolecast is in with us today while we share our top DFS plays for Week 10. Is Aaron Rodgers (6:06) or Patrick Mahomes (8:12) the preferred quarterback to pay up for in cash games? Is Tevin Coleman (20:35) a lock to hit value and does Chris Conley's (34:44) price make him an automatic play if Sammy Watkins is out? Plus, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (37:26) appears to be an excellent value option, but are both Doug Baldwin (55:34) and Blake Bortles (1:03:41) solid GPP upside plays, or are they bound to bust?

In today's episode, our crew dishes out their fantasy insight to make your lineup decisions a little easier this week. With that being said, the show kicks off with our analysis of the impact Dez Bryant's (2:17) arrival in New Orleans will have. Can Mitch Trubisky (17:54) rebound from a poor outing last week and is it time to panic about Mark Ingram (25:09)? Also, is it crazy to think that DeSean Jackson (34:37) can be a WR2 against Washington and has Rob Gronkowski (53:21) fallen from must-start status?

Sigmund Bloom (FootballGuys) is along for the ride as we give our takes on our favorite free agent pickups at each position this week. Can the Browns be trusted to be smart and give a player of Duke Johnson's (18:34) talent the touches he deserves, is Josh Adams (21:51) the Eagles' likely RB starter moving forward, and has Marquez Valdes-Scantling (31:06) started solidifying himself as a WR3? Jack Doyle's rest of season fantasy value (45:06) is thoroughly examined and the show concludes with us placing a few players under the microscope in our Buy/Sell segment (56:18).

Week 9 saw a battle between two championship contenders in the Rams and Saints, but there are plenty of other games to run through to break down the fantasy takeaways. The Raiders are worse than we thought they could be (1:28), the Vikings running back situation looks to be complicated (3:47), and Jarvis Landry may never be the wide receiver that fantasy owners hope that he is (7:21). Now might be the best time to buy Tarik Cohen (15:35), should we reconsider Kerryon Johnson's value (37:43), and should we worry about Adrian Peterson (40:53)? Julio Jones and the Falcons are flying high (43:59) and is Matt Ryan a top 3 quarterback the rest of the season (45:32)? James Conner finishes with another strong day so does Le'Veon Bell even play again this season (52:18)?

Our dynamic duo shares their top GPP and cash game DFS plays for this week's games. Is Patrick Mahomes (5:02) the top QB option, what should cash game players be concerned about when considering Alvin Kamara (16:35), and has Adam Thielen (25:00) become a must-play option regardless of his cost? How good of a play is Sammy Watkins (37:21) if Tyreek Hill sits and is Lamar Miller (57:52) a sneaky good GPP option?

On today's show, the guys analyze which borderline startable options should get the nod or ride the pine. Is Alex Smith (8:24) a viable option against the Falcons, does LeSean McCoy (19:01) have any chance at overcoming the Bears' tough run defense, and do experts largely have DeSean Jackson ranked too high (35:24)? Should fantasy owners feel confident plugging Calvin Ridley (38:22) back into their lineups and does Hayden Hurst (49:31) have TE1 potential down the stretch?

Our crew breaks down a wild NFL trade deadline and shares their insight into how each notable trade alters the fantasy football landscape. The show kicks off with analysis on how Demaryius Thomas' trade to Houston (00:31) affects both the Texans' and Broncos' offenses. We later pivot to what Ty Montgomery's trade to Baltimore (6:52) means for the Packers and Ravens and then thoroughly examine how the Eagles' acquisition of Golden Tate (10:40) shakes up the wide receiver totem pole in Philadelphia and Detroit. A special surprise segment is also in store towards the end of the show, so be sure to stay tuned until the end!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show, our duo discusses their top waiver wire options heading into Week 9. Before jumping straight into the fantasy free agent chatter though, we touch on the Tyreek Hill injury (5:53) and share our thoughts on Patrick Mahomes and the greatness of Kansas City's offense (7:01). What are the chances that Elijah McGuire (15:19) ends up starting for the Jets, who is the top WR pickup between Keke Coutee and DeVante Parker (22:21), and is Jack Doyle (38:44) a locked-in TE1 the rest of the way? We conclude the show with a three-round midseason draft (44:40) based on which players we think are the best fantasy options for the rest of the year.

We kick off today's show by recognizing which players over the first eight weeks were the MVPs (3:17), who is most due for the biggest second half improvement (8:51), and who has been the most underrated (15:10) among many other awards. Did Josh Adams (24:36) become the lead man in Philadelphia's running back committee, is D.J. Moore (47:34) now a must-add option, and has James Conner (50:29) done enough to claim Pittsburgh's backfield once Le'Veon Bell returns?

Daily Fantasy Insider co-founder, Justin MacMahon, hops in with us as we break down Week 8's best DFS plays. Are Patrick Mahomes (10:53) and Todd Gurley (13:26) worth paying up for? Davante Adams (30:39) seems primed to tear apart the Rams' defensive backs, C.J. Uzomah (40:23) may be the best combination of matchup and price at the TE position, and Baker Mayfield (57:48) fully deserves your attention in GPPs.

In today's show, we supply the all the info you'll need to make the best lineup decisions entering Week 8. Before getting to the Start/Sit suggestions, our duo begins by breaking down the latest news and advises fantasy owners on the newest report regarding Dalvin Cook (4:24), who is likely out until Week 11. The guys analyze the potential of Rashaad Penny taking away even more work from Chris Carson in the immediate future (24:07), discuss the viability of T.J. Yeldon with the arrival of Carlos Hyde (27:02), and are in disbelief with how underrated Geronimo Allison (37:10) is across the industry. As the show draws to a close, we debate how startable the Colts D/ST (50:42) is this weekend and finish things off with a little game of Fact or Fiction (52:39).

Justin Boone from theScore teams up with us today to break down the top waiver pickups heading into Week 8. Tre'Quan Smith (8:55) appears to be the clear top choice among widely unowned WRs and Courtland Sutton (17:39) is now an intriguing stash with the trade rumors surrounding Demaryius Thomas. Moving on from wideouts, Doug Martin and Jalen Richard (30:53) are easily the primary RBs fantasy owners should target and it may be time to treat C.J. Uzomah (49:26) as a TE you should start most weeks. The end of the show is mainly spent discussing the fantasy football fallout of Amari Cooper's trade to the Cowboys (51:24) and a unique listener question regarding a vetoed trade (56:37).

Today's show is spent breaking down all of the zany action from a wild Week 7, but one of the most notable performances that stuck out to us came from Andrew Luck (4:15). How panicked should Melvin Gordon (18:12) owners be regarding his absence and has Kerryon Johnson (31:58) officially become a running back fantasy owners can confidently rely upon? How might the Patriots handle their tailback situation if Sony Michel (39:21) is sidelined for an extended period and what is the state of the Eagles' backfield (48:15)?

It's a fresh start with a new week of football in DFS and joining us to help nail down your cash and tournament lineups for the weekend is Jared Kwart of FantasyCruncher.com. It's a week where there may not be too many questions at certain positions as we all love Kirk Cousins taking on the Jets (2:45), Todd Gurley going against the 49ers (8:34) and Ezekiel Elliott taking on a terrible rush defense in Washington (9:47). Adam Thielen very well could be the must-play of the week (15:41) and the tight end position offers multiple quality plays (31:05). We wrap the show up covering GPP plays (39:18) and stacks to consider using (1:01:11).

We've got your back with an hour chalked full of our most notable starts and sits at each position. Andy Dalton (8:02) has obvious QB1 potential in a date with the Chiefs, but can Blake Bortles (14:16) be trusted against the Texans? Tarik Cohen (23:39) may have strong RB2 upside, but we don't share the same optimism for Corey Davis (35:03). Would it be crazy to play Zay Jones (46:26) if you're desperate and what should fantasy owners do with Jordan Reed (49:27)?
