Our dynamic duo conducts a mock draft for us now that the biggest fantasy-relevant free agents have signed with their new teams. However, we first break down Golden Tate's (2:37) new landing spot and how it affects his value. Tags then kicks off the half-PPR, 12-team draft by selecting Julio Jones 10th overall (4:16) and Bobby nabs Odell Beckham with the 12th pick (5:37). Does O.J. Howard (12:21) have more dynasty value than Travis Kelce, should redraft players fully avoid Kareem Hunt (22:24), and do the Dolphins intend to trade for Josh Rosen (27:47)? Listen until the end to find out how well both of our guys did.

The guys come together for a super-sized show to share their initial thoughts on every recent fantasy relevant transaction that has taken place. To lead off the show, we break down the Odell Beckham trade (4:04) and how it shakes up the fantasy landscape for both the Giants and Browns. How good of a fit are the Jets for Le'Veon Bell (17:18), will Nick Foles (29:50) succeed in Jacksonville, and what can we expect from John Brown (34:49) in Buffalo? Does DeSean Jackson's return to Philly help or hurt Alshon Jeffery (44:38) and can Damien Williams (58:19) hold off Carlos Hyde (1:00:31) from stealing away the Chiefs' starting RB gig? Lastly, has Alvin Kamara's (1:08:16) value changed much with Latavius Murray (1:06:17) now replacing Mark Ingram in New Orleans?

We give our quick thoughts on how the Antonio Brown trade affects the fantasy landscape. How will playing in Oakland affect his value (1:24), is JuJu Smith-Schuster's (7:35) value helped or hurt by Brown's departure, and are Ben Roethlisberger (10:40) and Derek Carr (12:11) starter-caliber fantasy quarterbacks in 2019?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We take a look at where 2019's top free agents might be heading this offseason alongside our guest, Eliot Crist from The Quant Edge. The guys predict where Antonio Brown (5:26) and Odell Beckham (10:18) may get traded to and discuss where Le'Veon Bell (21:41) could land. Would Tyrod Taylor (14:10) be a better fit for Jacksonville than Nick Foles (12:32), and are the Colts the best team for John Brown (33:50)? As the show draws to a close, the trio examines where the top non-skill position free agents could end up (43:48).

The combine has wrapped up and while some players will show off their measurables through pro days, we've now had a chance to combine our film reviews with raw measuring sticks for those that participated. Andy Singleton of Expand the Boxscore joins us to walk through all the key offensive positions of fantasy football and name the biggest risers and fallers at the RB (3:03), WR (13:06), QB (31:05) and TE (41:47) positions. Devin Singletary's stock dropped, but how much (5:01)? Andy Isabella ran a 4.31 (27:46)? Kyler Murray is taller than we thought he was and is he now worth the top pick (31:05)?

Which players will we be watching at the combine, who has the most to prove, and what are the drills we should pay the most attention to? Matt Waldman of FootballGuys.com joins the fray to give his insight on all this and more. Which specific drill might be the best indicator of a wide receiver's ability to succeed at the next level (12:05) and what qualities are we looking for in D.K. Metcalf's (14:53) combine performance? Which version of Bryce Love (28:04) might the NFL see in 2019, is Kyler Murray's (37:53) size a huge concern for him heading into the draft, and which tight ends further down draft boards are we keeping a close eye on throughout the combine (53:35)?

R.C. Fischer of Fantasy Football Metrics helps us kick off our draft coverage as we provide an overview of this draft class's most potentially impactful players at each skill position. Is there a possibility Josh Jacobs (3:43) may not be the top back in this class, are draftniks sleeping on Trayveon Williams (9:39), and is D.K. Metcalf (34:29) being overhyped? David Sills (46:36) may have the talent to make it in the NFL, but will he get the opportunity? Plus, can any rookie QBs outside of Kyler Murray (56:04) make an immediate fantasy impact, and who would be the more desirable fantasy tight end between Irv Smith (1:02:55) and Noah Fant (1:04:09)?

The crew spends today's show largely discussing who dynasty leaguers should get rid of while they can and which players would be solid buys on the cheap. Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas (7:18) are two receivers who may not have much left in the tank, whereas Jameis Winston (27:33) is trending up thanks to a coaching change and solid surrounding cast. Plus, how does Joe Flacco's (34:17) arrival affect Denver's wideouts, what do we make of Cleveland's acquisition of Kareem Hunt (36:43), and is Patrick Mahomes (47:56) worth trading away for the fourth overall pick in a rookie draft?

Our guys each give their top 10 favorite statistical takeaways from this past NFL season. Marcus Mariota's (10:47) vast number of passing yards per passing TD doesn't bode well for his 2019 production and Jameis Winston (14:24) is the ultimate gunslinger based on his air yard percentage. Jared Goff's (25:57) offensive line was a huge factor in his success and Christian McCaffrey (36:35) may struggle to come close to last year's record-breaking reception total.

If you're heading to a party, make sure to start/sit these snacks (1:45).

Our crew dives into their first fantasy mock draft of the 2019 fantasy football season. How early might Patrick Mahomes (7:03) get taken in drafts this season, how much value may Derrick Henry (20:32) lose in PPR formats, and does Andrew Luck have a better chance than Matt Ryan (33:33) to finish as a top-three QB? Was Ronald Jones' (43:25) poor rookie season a product of Dirk Koetter's scheme and can Marquez Valdes-Scantling (45:31 & 47:41) start the season as Green Bay's primary slot receiver?

We extensively pick apart both AFC and NFC Championship games from every angle and evaluate each relevant players' viability. How might the loss of Saints DT Sheldon Rankins affect the Rams' running game (11:56) and does Michael Thomas' (16:50) price hurt his viability in cash games. Also, does Patrick Mahomes' (29:29) relatively low price on DraftKings make him a no-brainer, is Julian Edelman (37:34) the perfect stack partner for DFS players who choose Tom Brady, and who are our locks of the week (49:26)?

We go headfirst into the action as we analyze each of this weekend's playoff games and identify which players are the best cash game or GPP options. You can't go wrong paying up for either Patrick Mahomes (5:04) or Andrew Luck (5:40) in cash games and both of their tight ends (21:08) figure to be the top two plays at the position. If you're unable to roster both Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott (30:37) then who should you spend big on and is it wise to fade Tom Brady (44:04) in the playoffs? Also, just how high is Alvin Kamara's (58:56) upside against the Eagles and is Darren Sproles (1:01:02) a viable GPP play? Sponsors: Pristine Auction - Get the best deals in sports memorabilia including signed helmets and custom jerseys with guaranteed authenticity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's show is spent diving straight into the first round of playoff games and giving our DFS thoughts on each relevant player in all four matchups. Andrew Luck (5:38) appears to be a must-play QB in what should be a high-scoring game, and on the other side, Lamar Miller (13:27) has a great price, but faces a tough matchup. Ezekiel Elliott (31:24) should dominate against what has recently become a soft Seahawks run defense, but his teammate Amari Cooper (36:47) may lack the consistency for fantasy players to fully trust him in cash games. Melvin Gordon's (49:40) viability may come down to his health and Jordan Howard (1:00:31) can be a sneaky good play based on his recent volume and a great matchup.

The crew shares their initial thoughts on their 2019 fantasy football rankings. Together, they discuss the top options at each position, what sleepers they aim to select in drafts, and which teams will advance through each round of the NFL playoffs. How might the recent news regarding Antonio Brown (8:43) affect his draft stock, should fantasy owners still expect Christian McCaffrey (22:08) to handle the same workload next year, and how high should Travis Kelce (24:17) be taken? Is Aaron Rodgers (36:05) primed for a huge rebound, does Chris Godwin's (47:04) situation add to or take away from his sleeper status, and which teams do we pick to win every playoff game (54:47)?

Dan Harris joins the fun as we unite all three hosts for an end-of-season show filled with tons of laughs, pop culture references, and solid insight on some of fantasy football's top performers. When might Patrick Mahomes get drafted next year (10:28), is Corey Davis (26:21) on the cusp of breaking out in 2019, and can Amari Cooper (38:11) be a top-three WR moving forward? Looking back upon the year that was, we examine which high-end player was the ultimate underdog (44:15), who the top late-round sleeper (54:37) was, and which athlete most deserved to be named the fantasy MVP (1:18:35).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's show, our crew shares their insight on their favorite cash and GPP plays for the final week of the NFL regular season. Travis Kelce (7:27 & 29:53) appears to be a must-play TE, C.J. Anderson's (14:40) matchup is slightly concerning, and Davante Adams' (20:47) consistency is worth paying up for. How good of a GPP play is DeAndre Hopkins (38:56) against Jalen Ramsey and is Aaron Rodgers (54:40) truly having a down year?

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?

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?

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.
