FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

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)?

Pat Fitzmaurice from TheFootballGirl.com is in with us as we share our top waiver additions this week. However, we first give our thoughts on the trade rumors surrounding Amari Cooper (5:13) and project whether Adam Theilen (9:16) will finish as a top-three WR. Is Duke Johnson (24:56) worth picking up despite his volatility, should Tre'Quan Smith (32:28 & 34:30) be viewed as the top WR to claim entering Week 7, and is it time actually consider dropping Russell Wilson (53:51)?

Week 6 is just about wrapped up and we're here to give our instant reactions to the festivities. Doug Baldwin owners finally got the game they were looking for (7:44) and Peyton Barber put the brakes on the Ronald Jones train (9:25). Carlos Hyde is slowly losing his job (11:53) and Kenyan Drake has seemingly already lost his (13:41). Owners of Dalvin Cook continue to be let down (21:08), but his teammate, Adam Thielen, is now one of the best fantasy receivers in the game (23:27). Mitch Trubisky produced again and now is when you should sell him (43:36) while the Browns have a few intriguing buy pieces like David Njoku (48:49).

In today's show, we give you our favorite cash game and GPP DFS plays alongside Joe Holka from FantasyLabs. Does Christian McCaffrey's (11:47) combo of floor and price make him the perfect cash game RB to build around, and how concerning is Ezekiel Elliott's (15:42) lack of work in the passing game for cash games? Can this be the week to bank on Julio Jones (30:39) finally scoring a touchdown and is Corey Davis (53:20) worth using in GPPs despite a terrible matchup against Baltimore?

We band together with the Fantasy Footballers' very own Mike Wright to give you all the information you need to make the right lineup decisions this week. We first cover some news before diving into the thick of it and ponder the fallout of a potential LeSean McCoy (2:01) trade to the Eagles. Should you trust Andy Dalton (17:59) as a top-10 option and is Aaron Jones (30:06) an RB2 on Monday night? Is Amari Cooper (43:58) startable against Seattle and can fantasy owners insert Jared Cook (56:49) into their lineups with any confidence?

Michael Moore from Pro Football Focus comes on board with us as we offer our thoughts on the latest injury news, valuable waiver adds, and trade targets. Which Eagles RB will benefit the most from Jay Ajayi's ACL tear (3:51) and is Ronald Jones (14:42 & 15:53) in a prime spot to grab Tampa Bay's starting tailback job? Can fantasy owners depend on Keke Coutee (30:38) as a WR3 for the rest of the season, is it time to consider Joe Flacco (48:28) a dependable streamer, and should you still view Doug Baldwin (58:14) as a buy-low target after his one-yard outing on Sunday?

We're back to break down Sunday's exciting slate of action and give you our thoughts on how these matchups might affect the fantasy landscape moving forward. Blake Bortles (2:00) isn't any better than we thought and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (6:43) may have earned a larger role with his performance. Is it time to cut bait on Derrick Henry (24:20), how should James Conner (37:46) be ranked for the rest of the season, and how will Robert Woods fare if Cooper Kupp and Brandin Cooks (55:36) both miss time in the future?

We're dishing out DFS advice today, and Matthew Freedman of FantasyLabs.com is here with us to share his insight. Should DFS players consider using Patrick Mahomes (7:58) against the Jags, is T.J. Yeldon (14:06) a top RB play in cash games, and how viable is Jared Cook (32:37) in a tough matchup? Looking at GPPs, can Seattle's defense (43:13) be a worthy risk since they should be almost completely unowned and is Geronimo Allison (46:45) primed to excel if he's active?

Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com comes on with us as we rundown which players you should consider starting or sitting at each position. Before tackling Start/Sit advice, we analyze the latest news, including the newest development with Le'Veon Bell's holdout (2:42). Should Jared Goff (18:43) be started against a surprisingly stingy Seahawks defense, is Derrick Henry (29:30) finally a flex-worthy option this week, and can desperate fantasy owners turn to Austin Ekeler (38:40) as a sleeper start? Also, can Alshon Jeffery (48:02) overcome Minnesota's talented secondary, has the time come for Nick Vannett (58:12) to shine, and which other defenses are viable options if you can't nab the Titans D/ST (58:55)?

Author of the best-selling "Fantasy Black Book" series, Joe Pisapia, joins us as we break down which players fantasy owners should heavily consider adding to their rosters entering Week 5. Keke Coutee (8:09 & 11:17) received 15 targets in his debut, Nyheim Hines (22:05) might just be the back to own in Indy, and Jameis Winston (33:33) is a QB worth picking up and holding for the long-term. Winston's return also provides a healthy lift to Cameron Brate's (37:57) rest of season value, and we still cannot believe that John Brown (48:45) isn't owned everywhere. To finish the show, we quickly mention whether you should drop or keep several players (51:16) and swiftly touch on who we'll buy low (55:22) and sell high (57:05).

Week 4 has perhaps been the most explosive week of offense in this young season so far. We break down all of Sunday's exciting action and what many of this week's huge fantasy performances could mean moving forward. Is Andrew Luck (2:52) finally back to his old self, can Kenyan Drake (9:19) be trusted, and should fantasy owners be concerned about Dalvin Cook (19:00)? Also, is Ronald Jones (34:24) now the RB to own in Tampa Bay, and has Aaron Jones (45:58) become the Packers' primary back?

Week 4 started off with a bang Thursday night and we're following it up with our favorite DFS plays for the weekend. Joining us on the show is Daily Fantasy Insider co-founder, Christian Abbonizio. Whether you're playing cash games (1:48) or GPP tournaments (52:14), we've got the full rundown to help you build your lineups. Starting with our favorite QBs, using Baker Mayfield in cash games isn't a bad idea (2:28), Matthew Stafford offers quality upside with a safe floor (5:05), and Andy Dalton has a great game-script (7:47). This is the week to spend up at RB (15:40) and Ezekiel Elliott (17:07) is the guy you want. Cheaper options such as Giovani Bernard (25:34) and Marshawn Lynch (28:11) on DraftKings offer plenty of value. Are Jarvis Landry (31:55) and Kenny Golladay (32:27) must-plays? We're wrapping up the show by naming our locks of the week (1:05:51).

Jake Ciely from The Athletic hops on with us as we examine which players fantasy owners should heavily consider starting or sitting this week. Before we jump into that though, our guys give their updated Super Bowl predictions (2:24). What should fantasy owners do with Russell Wilson (8:10) and is Kerryon Johnson (20:36) approaching must-start territory? Plus, Corey Davis' (37:33) enormous target share is too large to ignore, and we debate whether Ricky Seals-Jones' (55:00) production can improve this week with Josh Rosen starting under center.

Which oft-overlooked athletes emerged from Week 4 as players you should heavily consider adding to your squad? That's the question we've come to answer for you on today's show. Calvin Ridley (13:49) has moved onto everyone's radar after his three-touchdown performance, but Mike Williams (11:50) may be equally as deserving of your attention. Also, just how meaningful was Chris Carson's (38:46) 31-carry outing, and which potential sleepers should deep leaguers target (42:12)?

Another Sunday of high scoring affairs, tight matchups, breakout performances, dud outings, and devastating injuries is through. Before analyzing each of the day and afternoon games from a fantasy perspective, we wonder which 49ers are still weekly fantasy starters if Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the season (3:55) and whether it's time to drastically lower expectations for Amari Cooper (20:06). Also, should Sammy Watkins be viewed as a borderline WR2 moving forward (30:46), is Javorius "Buck" Allen (56:18) someone fantasy owners should feel comfortable starting regularly, and which Rams WR has the most favorable rest of season fantasy outlook (1:03:13)?

With Week 3 now underway, we discuss which players can be solid DFS plays for cash games and GPPs this weekend. Alex Smith (7:41) could provide nice value in a potential shootout with the Packers and Christian McCaffrey (17:58) should get all the touches he can handle in a plus matchup against Cincinnati. The big question is, can we trust Amari Cooper (38:03) considering how inconsistent his QB is? Also, David Johnson's (57:41) talent, price, and potentially low ownership all make him a viable tournament play, and we're rolling with a prolific pair of Saints as our locks of the week (1:01:13).

Our hosts team up with Brandon Marianne Lee of The Athletic to share our thoughts on which players you should consider starting or sitting in Week 3. Is it safe to start trusting Will Dissly (9:37) as a TE1, should you feel worried starting Kenny Golladay (28:49), and is there any reason to lack confidence in Matt Breida (36:37)? Also, Rashaad Penny (47:30) might finally be getting a leg up on Chris Carson, and we discuss the latest news on the Le'Veon Bell holdout (1:03:41).

Today we share which players fantasy owners should pick up as we head into Week 3, and Pat Fitzmaurice from The Football Girl joins us to give you his favorite waiver additions as well. However, we explore what Josh Gordon's fantasy value could be like in New England (3:53) before getting into nitty gritty. Giovani Bernard may be the obvious top pickup (9:47), but John Brown deserves your attention right after him (17:45). Also, does Gordon's departure in Cleveland increase Dez Bryant's chances of getting signed (31:16) and is Ryan Fitzpatrick a QB1 this week (46:03)? Lastly, which defenses should you consider streaming this week (50:52) and how should we view David Johnson (56:18) moving forward?

Our crew is back to break down every great and disappointing performance from each of Sunday's day games and give their immediate fantasy analysis. Is Patrick Mahomes a true QB1 for the rest of the season (3:10 & 12:27), how should fantasy owners view Chris Thompson moving forward (17:57), and is it time to view Quincy Enunwa as the Jets' top wideout (22:05)? Plus, is Antonio Callaway the Browns' real No. 2 option without Josh Gordon (39:30), how well can Nelson Agholor produce when Alshon Jeffery returns (49:42), and should you buy or sell on Kenny Golladay (59:48)?

Davis Mattek (host for Swolecast and TaekCast) joins forces with us as we all share our thoughts on which players make strong DFS plays. Ben Roethlisberger's high floor this week is worth paying up for (10:58) and Adrian Peterson figures to be a cheap source of guaranteed touches (19:35), but is it wrong to rank Emmanuel Sanders (27:07) above Demaryius Thomas (29:21)? In addition, Garrett Celek can be a sneaky GPP play (41:41), but can the same be said about Doug Martin (48:48), and is DeAndre Hopkins an overrated talent (53:38)?

Jeff Ratcliffe from Pro Football Focus hops on with us as we share our thoughts on which players we would consider either starting or sitting ahead of this week's matchups. Should Tom Brady owners look for alternative options this weekend (11:49) and is Jay Ajayi a glorified committee back or the bonafide top dog in that backfield (20:26)? Plus, should we panic about Amari Cooper (38:44), is Sammy Watkins already droppable (44:47), and are we overlooking Jack Doyle too much (53:57)?

With every game from Week 1 now in the books, which players would you be wise to snag from your league's waiver wire today? We're here to tackle that question for you in-depth, but the show kicks off with us breaking down the Greg Olsen (4:17), Aaron Rodgers (6:06), Delanie Walker (8:52), Leonard Fournette (14:19), and Doug Baldwin (15:13) injuries. How much FAAB should you spend on T.J. Yeldon (21:43), who the heck is Will Dissly (25:48), and can Ryan Fitzpatrick steal Jameis Winston's job (38:32)? Plus, will Phillip Lindsay (43:25) carry significant fantasy value moving forward, and did Jordan Wilkins do enough to keep Indy's starting RB job (46:29)?

Opening Sunday has come and gone, and it was one we likely won't forget for a long time! Joining us as our new Sunday co-host is FantasyPros writer, Dan Harris. Before diving into Sunday's games en masse, we take a small look at Thursday night's opener and analyze whether Jay Ajayi's productive performance alters his season-long outlook (4:34). Is Le'Veon Bell's return impacted by James Conner's impressive outing, and where should Conner be ranked moving forward (20:58)? Also, have we been undervaluing DeSean Jackson (35:01) and Mike Evans all along (35:51), how wrong were we about Tyreek Hill (43:38), and can Washington's offense be a lot more viable for fantasy than we thought (52:47)?

Football is back! Doug Norrie from Daily Fantasy Sports Rankings is with us as we give our favorite cash game and GPP plays for Week 1. Before digging in, our crew takes some time to explain what DFS is (8:41) and how players should approach cash games and GPPs (9:21). How well can we expect James Conner to perform if Le'Veon Bell is absent on Sunday (14:39) and how much consideration should you give Leonard Fournette and Joe Mixon in cash games (26:44)? Are A.J. Green and Keenan Allen (42:01) two wideouts you should build your DFS lineups around, and is Andy Dalton (59:44) someone you can rely on in cash games this week?

The NFL season is finally upon us! We'll be here before the first game each week to give you our thoughts on which guys you should start in your lineup or sit on your bench for the week. Before getting into the meat of the show, we break down some depth chart news and give you the latest on the Le'Veon Bell holdout (15:43). Should fantasy owners be concerned about Philip Rivers' historically underwhelming performances against Kansas City (25:59), and how problematic will Tennessee's run defense be for Kenyan Drake (32:47)? Also, is Sterling Shepard a startable wideout against Jacksonville (53:33), and which tight end should you be looking to stream if you're in a pinch (58:06)?

With the regular season quickly approaching, our hosts explore which commonly unowned players you would be wise to hold on to. However, we start the show going over the Khalil Mack trade (3:25 & 13:51) and debating who steps up in Jerick McKinnon's absence (7:24). Why does DeVante Parker (22:32) deserve to be rostered in all fantasy leagues? Does Anthony Miller have more upside than Chris Godwin (30:18)? How high is Corey Clement's potential (45:16) in Philadelphia if Jay Ajayi were to miss time?

Whether you've drafted already or not, we're talking late-round fliers that are worth stashing to start the season. Joining us for this show is Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys. The season is just about here and with that, we're looking at what to make of Royce Freeman sitting the final game of the preseason (3:36) and Ronald Jones's struggles. We then take turns naming our favorite fliers to snag at the end of drafts starting with T.J. Yeldon (9:12). Sigmund explains what you should be looking for in RB stashes (10:46), and we touch on a few other stashes like Anthony Miller (21:20) and Cordarrelle Patterson (25:24). To wrap up the show, we're running through our favorite QB streamers starting in Week 1 (38:36), how to pick your kickers and who's worth drafting (41:21), and what your strategy should be when considering defenses (47:18).

Justin Boone from theScore is with us as we share which players we are actively targeting and who we are steering clear of. Patrick Mahomes (14:17) may have high upside, but should his tough early-season schedule dampen your outlook? Does Alex Collins (27:48) have a stranglehold on the Ravens' starting running back job? With his ADP swiftly rising, does Amari Cooper (42:26) still have enough equity built into his ADP? Is Trey Burton (50:38) the tight end to aim for if you've missed out on the elite options?

Jamey Eisenberg from CBS Sports joins the show as we discuss some of the larger discrepancies between his rankings and the Expert Consensus Rankings. Does Russell Wilson carry more risk than people realize (6:05), will Kerryon Johnson's talent earn him the lion's share of Detroit's backfield touches (18:32), and should fantasy owners fully buy into Marquise Goodwin's upside (30:30)? We end the show analyzing the latest news and ponder how long Alshon Jeffery's injury woes will linger (34:29) and whether fantasy owners should be concerned about Adam Thielen's leg injury (42:25).

Football Diehards' Bob Harris is with us as we shed some light on which players you will surely regret drafting. However, before we jump into that, we just can't understand why the Broncos have decided not to start Royce Freeman (8:13). It's hard to trust Devonta Freeman (25:29) with how much work he cedes to Tevin Coleman, Derrick Henry's (36:04) current situation is very similar to what he experienced last year, and Alshon Jeffery (47:41) is unjustly being taken as a top 30 WR.

Mike Wright from The Fantasy Footballers joins the crew as we each share which players could possess league-winning upside. But first, we decide how far Keelan Cole (5:00) should move up the rankings in the wake of Marqise Lee's season-ending injury. During the meat of the show, we all agree that New England's depleted receiving corps leaves Rob Gronkowski (19:50) with league-winning ability. Does Joe Mixon (25:41) truly possess elite potential behind a subpar offensive line, though? Also, Mark Ingram (33:40) may seemingly be primed to be an RB1 upon his return, but is Corey Davis' (55:48) upside limited by both his quarterback and the smorgasbord of other receiving options in Tennessee?

4for4.com's John Paulsen comes on the show to help shed some light on 12 different players who carry plenty of risk. What should we think of Andrew Luck's unimpressive preseason performances (12:32), how often will the 49ers use Jerick McKinnon (23:02), and is it wrong to underestimate Juju Smith-Schuster this year (36:14)? The episode ends with a segment on running back battles and which back fantasy owners should target (55:11). Will Sony Michel end up being the lead back in New England at some point (1:00:45) and what happens in the Green Bay backfield once Aaron Jones returns (1:04:38)?

It's the show you've been hoping for as we have Matt Harmon, creator of Reception Perception, and now an analyst for Yahoo! Sports, joining us to chat about wide receiver tiers. We're taking a deep dive to help you through all your questions regarding the position. Kicking things off at the top of the discussion is the first tier where their's little disagreement with who belongs in the group (6:01). The first question though is where does Keenan Allen fit (8:26)? We're also answering if the Vikings can support two WRs in the top 3 tiers (12:04), is T.Y. Hilton a better option than Tyreek Hill (13:55), why Matt doesn't like Amari Cooper (18:29), why Allen Robinson should be targeted (29:31), what should we think of Sammy Watkins (43:30), why Jordy Nelson shouldn't be ignored (49:39).

We spend today's show creating one fantasy roster full of players who are poised to bounce back from disappointing seasons last year, and another fantasy roster that is filled with players who we won't let burn us again. Drew Brees is primed for positive touchdown regression (13:55), Joe Mixon has superstar potential (17:19), and Amari Cooper should benefit as the focal point of a John Gruden offense (27:08). In contrast, Isaiah Crowell likely won't capitalize on whatever touches he receives (38:05), free agent Dez Bryant can't be trusted at this point (44:21), and Jay Ajayi's touches and talent are lacking (49:07). The end of the show is dedicated to your most commonly asked questions (54:24). Sponsors: TeamStake - Tired of hassling friends and family for fantasy league entry fees? Try TeamStake!

Jake Ciely from The Athletic joins the crew as we undertake a standard-scoring mock draft for you and share our thoughts and analysis on what's happening along the way. Should fantasy owners feel comfortable drafting Tyreek Hill as a high-end WR2 (10:58), and is taking Chris Hogan in the fifth round a reach (18:39)? Plus, will Latavius Murray be more than just a handcuff (41:21), and who is the WR to own in Jacksonville (43:18)?

Shedding light on sleepers who offer lots of upside with minimal cost is the focus of today's show, but first we gauge whether Adrian Peterson will have substantial fantasy value in Washington (3:30). Why are people still snoozing on Jets starting RB Bilal Powell (14:18)? Mike Williams may be one of the biggest steals in fantasy drafts this year (28:11) and James White could be in for a much bigger season than folks realize (37:37). Ronald Jones failing to claim Tampa Bay's starting RB job (57:35) and Ameer Abdullah starting in Detroit's second preseason game (1:04:26) are just a couple of the topics we discuss towards the end of the show regarding last weekend's NFL action.

Which late-round players have the potential to offer great production for little to no draft cost? John Ross should command a healthy chunk of targets as the Bengals' No. 2 WR (13:50), and Dante Pettis may have a shot to be San Francisco's best fantasy receiver (31:13), but can Brandon Marshall be a top-30 WR if he starts for Seattle (24:56)? We later spend the end of the show debating players we ranked differently, like Mitch Trubisky (41:49) and Derrick Henry (48:06).

We're scouring through our running back rankings and analyzing how we have them tiered. Should Ezekiel Elliott be taken after Leonard Fournette and Saquon Barkley (11:30), is Christian McCaffrey's upside capped (19:24), and will Jay Ajayi be a much larger part of Philadelphia's offense this season (30:35)?

Brad Evans from Yahoo Sports joins our crew today as we share our bold fantasy predictions with you. Royce Freeman finishing 2018 as a top-10 RB (9:16), Eric Ebron ending the season as a top-five TE (18:32), and Trey Burton outproduicng Jimmy Graham (34:59) are just some of the flaming hot takes discussed.

Today, we highlight which players present the best value from Round 3-7 in half PPR drafts. However, the show kicks off with some notable news from around the league concerning DeVante Parker's broken finger (1:30) and the Eagles' injury issues (6:28). During the meat of the show, our hosts debate whether LeSean McCoy is a value pick in the third round (21:26), but agree that mid-round picks like Sony Michel (44:58) and Marshawn Lynch (48:57) should outproduce their ADP. Towards the end, we open up the Listener Mailbag to tackle some of your pressing fantasy questions (57:18).
