Ep 596Week 16 Recap: Broncos fire Hackett, Eagles remain fantasy’s best team, Tua & Brady look bad

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap all of the NFL games that happened on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in week 16 of the NFL season, an important week for fantasy football matchups.The guys kick off the podcast with breaking news that the Denver Broncos have fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett before recapping Denver’s ugly loss to the Rams on Sunday. They also dive into the other Sunday games, including another bad outing from Tua and Tom Brady looking a lot like 2011 Tim Tebow.While talking through the Saturday games, Matt marvels at the WR clinic put on by DeVonta Smith and CeeDee Lamb while Scott gives credit to Daniel Jones for having a very under-the-radar season despite playing well for the Giants.Steve Walks might be earning the head coaching job in Carolina, and Matt and Scott are both rooting for the Panthers to win the NFC South and make it to the playoffs. Also, wasn’t it fun to see the Buffalo Bills win with their running game for once?When we get to some of the less interesting games, Matt and Scott call in some Christmas favors and skip talking about them.

Ep 595Week 16 Fantasy Preview: Bad weather, backup QBs & star WRs

Matt Harmon is joined by both Dalton Del Don and Scott Pianowski to preview all of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday NFL games happening in week 16 with an eye towards fantasy football.Many of the games talked about will have freezing temperatures, snow and strong gusts of wind that could play big roles in passing games around the country. The guys talk about that and also about Californians inability to deal with weather of any sort.Matt struggles to figure out which TE he’ll start on his own fantasy teams while Dalton talks up Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and D.J. Moore. Meanwhile, Scott can’t figure out what to do with K.J. Osborn and would take almost any rushing yardage prop bet for Derrick Henry against the Texans this week.Scott also explains the PBI (Pianow Backup Index) and uses it throughout the podcast to explain the offensive impact of each team that is starting a backup QB in week 16.02:20 Packers at Dolphins07:40 Seahawks at Chiefs14:50 Giants at Vikings20:15 Eagles at Cowboys27:20 Lions at Panthers30:35 Bengals at Patriots33:40 Bills at Bears37:00 Raiders at Steelers40:30 Commanders at 49ers46:30 Broncos at Rams49:00 Texans at Titans53:55 Falcons at Ravens57:10 Saints at Browns62:05 Buccaneers at Cardinals64:55 Chargers at ColtsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 594Stat Nerd Thursday: New starting QBs for Cardinals, Colts & Eagles could mess up the fantasy playoffs

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to provide one stat for all 32 NFL teams, and along the way the guys end up talking about games on Christmas Day, the running back market in free agency this offseason and the ranking of QBs if you were building a franchise right now.Unlike most weeks, when the guys start with the best teams in the league and work down to the worst, they go from worst to first this week and uncover a few fantasy gems on the league’s worst teams along the way.Find out which Broncos RB might just win your fantasy football playoff game this week, why a new QB in Indianapolis probably doesn’t boost the fantasy value of Michael Pittman, and which run defense has been on fire for the last month (the answer will surprise you!).Matt and Dalton also check in on their Mike Evans vs. Gabe Davis bet, and conclude that they were both wrong and should’ve trusted their guts in the preseason instead of digging into the numbers.Finally, the guys preview a very important (for playoff reasons) Thursday night game between the Jaguars and Jets and explain why it may not be a good game for fantasy managers.00:45 NFL games on Christmas & Christmas Eve02:40 Houston Texans06:00 Chicago Bears07:50 Los Angeles Rams09:40 Denver Broncos11:25 Arizona Cardinals13:15 Indianapolis Colts15:50 New Orleans Saints19:05 Carolina Panthers21:20 Atlanta Falcons23:30 Tampa Bay Buccaneers28:15 Pittsburgh Steelers30:15 Las Vegas Raiders31:45 Green Bay Packers34:45 Cleveland Browns35:55 Tennessee Titans37:20 Seattle Seahawks40:00 New England Patriots42:50 Detroit Lions44:25 Washington Commanders45:35 Miami Dolphins47:05 Los Angeles Chargers49:55 New York Giants50:50 Baltimore Ravens52:05 San Francisco 49ers55:00 Dallas Cowboys56:45 Cincinnati Bengals62:25 Minnesota Vikings63:00 Kansas City Chiefs65:10 Buffalo Bills66:25 Philadelphia Eagles68:45 TNF: Jaguars at JetsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 592Week 16 Pickups: Injury updates, Dotson on fire & waiver wire etiquette

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens to break down the news coming out of Week 15 in the NFL before diving into what is left on waiver wires, but not before laying out some crucial waiver wire etiquette.First, the guys discuss the disappointing news coming out regarding Jonathan Taylor’s high ankle sprain and what a blow that is for fantasy teams. Then the guys spend time talking about Trevor Lawrence, who is ascending to one of the highest tiers of fantasy QBs right now.After a brief lesson on waiver wire etiquette, Andy explains why you should be adding Tyler Allgeier or Jahan Dotson to your team (especially if you’re still alive in the playoffs). Also, which “cheat code” QB/TE hybrid is the right answer this week?Finally, Matt and Andy tell you who to drop, who to hold on to, and give an update on Matt’s mom’s fantasy league.05:05 NEWS / Jonathan Taylor high ankle sprain12:15 NEWS / Jaguars LT Cam Robinson torn meniscus18:20 NEWS / Jets QB Mike White (ribs) has “a lot of hurdles to clear”24:30 NEWS / Packers waive WR Sammy Watkin25:40 SNF: Giants 20, Commanders 1237:00 Waiver Wire Etiquette41:45 Waiver Wire Pickups: Running Backs49:05 Waiver Wire Pickups: Wide Receivers & Tight Ends56:35 Waiver Wire Pickups: Brock Purdy60:05 Drops64:10 Hold On Loosely67:35 Treviso Babes UpdateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 591Week 15 Recap: McKinnon is the answer in KC, Trevor Lawrence is making a leap & takeaways from Saturday

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap the Sunday NFL action, which included a lot of exciting finishes but not a lot of big fantasy football performances, and talk about their takeaways from the Saturday games, as well.The guys kick off the show by talking about last week’s RB1, who might also end up this week’s RB1, Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon. They also talk about the Jeff Driskel positional eligibility discourse.After that, they break down a few games that didn’t help us a lot in fantasy before diving into another great Trevor Lawrence game, this time against the Dallas Cowboys, and talk about where he’ll likely rank next season amongst fantasy QBs.Matt and Scott really only talk about the NFC South teams because they have to. It’s that time of the year and they’re over watching bad teams, and the entire NFC South is bad.Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields, who played against each other this week, should both run less than they are now to lower their chances for injury. Diontae Johnson, on the other hand, should catch more passes but not go in the end zone…for history’s sake.Finally, the guys talk about what they liked or didn’t like from Saturday’s games including a new #2 WR in Minnesota, a new offensive gameplay from the Dolphins, and maybe a new relevant fantasy RB.03:35 Chiefs 30, Texans 24 (OT)13:20 Chargers 17, Titans 1416:40 Lions 20, Jets 1723:30 Jaguars 40, Cowboys 34 (OT)31:05 Bengals 34, Buccaneers 2335:00 Saints 21, Falcons 1838:30 Eagles 25, Bears 2042:00 Raiders 30, Patriots 2444:40 Steelers 24, Panthers 1647:15 Broncos 24, Cardinals 1551:00 Saturday takeawaysCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 590Week 15 Fantasy Preview: Bad week for QBs, Jeff Driskel as the new Taysom Hill & a big week for Ekeler

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski to preview all of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday NFL games happening in Week 15 to help you win your fantasy football playoff matchup.Can you trust Dallas Goedert this week? Is Miles Sanders a terrible fantasy football analyst? What can we expect from Desmond Ridder (and will he help Drake London)? Lots of questions are answered in this very fun episode.Andy makes the pitch that Texans QB/TE Jeff Driskel might be the new Taysom Hill (at least for fantasy) and Scott implores you, the listener, to start Zonovan Knight against the Lions this week.Nobody is thrilled with Travis Etienne’s fantasy value since the Jaguars, for some reason, never seem to throw him the ball and Austin Ekeler is set up for a big game through the air against the Titans.Tom Brady’s issues in Tampa Bay are diagnosed (it’s the offensive line’s fault) but they won’t be fixed against a very good Bengals team that is getting healthy at the right time. Also, we’re excited about the Colts WRs against a bad Vikings defense but can we trust Matt Ryan’s arm?Sit down and get comfortable, these guys are handing out loads of fantasy football insight and advice that you’ll want to have in your back pocket while setting your lineups this week.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 589Stat Nerd Thursday: Kittle needs more targets, Chubb & Saquon are slowing down

Matt Harmon is joined by guest co-host Rich Hribar for a very special episode of Stat Nerd Thursday, where the guys provide one stat for all 32 teams and preview the Thursday night game between the 49ers and Seahawks.Find out why it’s pointless to complain about the Cowboys’ backfield committee, how high is too high for Isiah Pacheco, what killed the Ravens offense, and what is Ja’Marr Chase’s role if Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins miss this week’s game.Can you start Tua in fantasy this week? Can you start Saquon Barkley? We know Terry McLaurin is efficient but do the Commanders pass enough for him to be fantasy relevant? Is any offense worse than the Denver Broncos?Matt and Rich implore people to stop fighting about Jared Goff, realize they we should’ve predicted the Buccaneers offense would be mediocre, and wonder what to make of Drake London with a new starting QB in Atlanta.All of this and much more in a fun episode of Stat Nerd Thursday!02:10 Philadelphia Eagles05:55 Buffalo Bills09:25 Dallas Cowboys11:40 Kansas City Chiefs15:30 Minnesota Vikings17:50 Baltimore Ravens21:00 Cincinnati Bengals23:30 Miami Dolphins28:00 New York Giants30:40 Washington Commanders32:30 Los Angeles Chargers34:50 New England Patriots36:45 New York Jets38:50 Tennessee Titans40:15 Detroit Lions42:40 Tampa Bay Buccaneers45:10 Atlanta Falcons47:10 Carolina Panthers48:10 Cleveland Browns50:20 Green Bay Packers51:45 Jacksonville Jaguars54:00 Las Vegas Raiders55:45 Pittsburgh Steelers56:25 Indianapolis Colts58:10 Arizona Cardinals59:30 Los Angeles Rams61:05 New Orleans Saints62:45 Chicago Bears63:55 Denver Broncos67:00 Houston Texans67:15 TNF 49ers at SeahawksCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens break down Monday’s news coming out of week 14 of the NFL schedule before diving into some waiver wire recommendations for teams that need help in week 15Deebo Samuel’s ankle is probably bad enough that you should drop him, even though Brock Purdy has the 49ers’ offense cruising.The Atlanta Falcons put Marcus Mariota on IR, clearing the path for rookie QB Desmond Ridder. At the same time, the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are hoping for big games from their respective QBs (Mike White & Tua Tagovailoa).Speaking of Tua, he was terrible in the Dolphins’ loss on Sunday night football to a Los Angeles Chargers team that might be getting healthy at exactly the right time.The guys cover the breaking news of the Dallas Cowboys signing WR T.Y.

Ep 586Week 14 Recap: Lions deep at WR, Saquon struggles again & Purdy stars in 1st start

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski talk their way through all 10 of the NFL games that were played during the day on Sunday in Week 14, a week that included a ton of injuries and backup QBs and some bounce back fantasy performances from some unheralded QBs.D’Andre Swift went back to his normal usage but the Detroit Lions’ offense is fun because of how deep their WR room is and how good Jared Goff is playing.Trevor Lawrence showed exactly why he was the #1 overall pick with a virtuoso performance against the Titans, although it paled in comparison to what Jalen Hurts did against the New York Giants (and what Jalen Hurts seemingly does every week).Josh Allen put his body on the line to get a win against the New York Jets, but it raised the question if there are any good fantasy players on the Buffalo Bills besides Allen and Stefon Diggs.Deshaun Watson played terribly again, as did the Dallas Cowboys (who should’ve lost to the Houston Texans), and Patrick Mahomes played with his food until Russell Wilson rallied the Denver Broncos back before leaving with a scary head injury.Brock Purdy showed that just about any QB can be good in the San Francisco 49ers offense, the Carolina Panthers showed that they can beat almost anybody, and J.K. Dobbins looked good in a very ugly game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.02:40 Lions 34, Vikings 2314:40 Jaguars 36, Titans 2224:15 Eagles 48, Giants 2229:10 Bills 20, Jets 1236:50 Bengals 23, Browns 1043:00 Cowboys 27, Texans 2347:20 Chiefs 34, Broncos 2855:10 49ers 35, Buccaneers 761:40 Panthers 30, Seahawks 2464:50 Ravens 16, Steelers 14Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 585Week 14 Fantasy Preview: Derrick Henry health questions, Brock Purdy debate & the return of MANdrews

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don to preview all of the week 14 games in the NFL with an eye towards fantasy football.They kick off the show with an appreciation of Jalen Hurts, who has been so good this season that he and Patrick Mahomes might screw up the Offensive Player of the Year award, and slightly less appreciation for Daniel Jones.The Jets upset the Bills with Zach Wilson as their QB, so why are the Bills so heavily favored this week? The guys explain why, and talk about Zonovan Knight’s role in the New York offense before switching their attention to the Detroit Lions and D’Andre Swift’s health.Derrick Henry’s health is one of fantasy football’s most important questions right now. Are the Titans hiding an injury? Also, is there any reason to expect Deshaun Watson will be less terrible this week against a good Bengals defense?What can we expect from the Cowboys playmakers if we think their game against the Texans will be over by halftime? Who will split the 1 TD the Broncos are going to score against the Chiefs? Can we count on anyone with the Chiefs besides Mahomes and Kelce?Andy and Dalton have a hilarious debate about 49ers rookie and new starting QB Brock Purdy before talking about just how good Geno Smith has been this season. Also, Tyler Huntley taking over as the Ravens QB should mean good things for Mark Andrews.Find out what to expect from the Dolphins RBs in “The Acho Bowl” and why Kyler Murray seems so unhappy in Arizona in this very fun episode!02:30 Eagles at Giants07:40 Jets at Bills17:00 Vikings at Lions22:20 Jaguars at Titans30:55 Browns at Bengals36:25 Texans at Cowboys40:10 Chiefs at Broncos48:50 Buccaneers at 49ers58:00 Panthers at Seahawks61:25 Ravens at Steelers64:50 SNF Dolphins at Chargers70:20 MNF Patriots at CardinalsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

In this one, Austin talks about the mistakes he made in the team’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and trying to overcome that disappointment to focus on the next game.We open up Austin’s fantasy rosters to see how his teams are doing and which players helped or hurt him this season, which leads to a conversation about 2023 draft strategy and if fantasy managers should be taking QBs and TEs in the first round.In the Ask Austin mailbag, Ekeler talks about why running backs aren’t paid as much as other positions and discusses where his motivation comes from (and why it’s good to not have a goal or direction).Finally, Matt chats with Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb about his own fantasy team (and when his brother drafted him before CeeDee has the chance) and if he wants Odell Beckham Jr. to join the potent Cowboys offense.01:50 Raiders 27, Chargers 2014:20 Austin’s fantasy teams24:30 Ask Austin Mailbag24:50 Running backs being devalued?27:50 Steep drop-off for RBs?32:50 What’s Austin’s motivation?39:00 How do NFL players get their body used to start/stop?50:50 Treatment/recovery from injury42:50 Austin on Justin Herbert48:30 CeeDee Lamb interviewCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 582Week 14 Pickups: Late bye weeks, lots of injuries & Cowboys/Colts recap

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens get together to go through all of the news around the NFL following week 13, including the Carolina Panthers waiving QB Baker Mayfield and an injury that will keep Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson out for a while.After getting through the news, the guys recap an impressive blowout win by the Dallas Cowboys over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football and talk about how good (and underrated) WR CeeDee Lamb is. They also discuss Michael Gallup, who looks great now that he’s healthy and might make it pointless for the team to sign Odell Beckham Jr.The list of guys available on the waiver wire for week 14 is not quite as bad as it has been in the last few weeks, so the guys go over an exciting list that includes James Cook, Nico Collins and Jared Goff. They also take a break to talk about how great Garrett Wilson is.Finally, they give their recommended drops and “Hold on loosely” candidates before providing a quick update on the Treviso Babes league.02:30 NEWS / Lamar Jackson is “unlikely” to play in week 14 vs. PIT09:45 NEWS / Dolphins place OT Austin Jackson on IR15:25 NEWS / Seahawks RB Ken Walker “jammed” his ankle18:40 QB News Roundup26:45 SNF Recap: Cowboys 54, Colts 1939:15 Waiver Wire Pickups: Running Backs48:40 Waiver Wire Pickups: Wide Receivers56:30 Waiver Wire Pickups: Quarterbacks61:35 Waiver Wire Pickups: Tight Ends63:20 Drops66:15 Hold on loosely69:20 Treviso Babes updateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 581Week 13 Recap: Jimmy G out for the season, Davante Adams’ dream role & the value of rookie WRs

Following a wild afternoon of games, Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski get together to recap all of the biggest fantasy performances from week 13 in the NFL.The guys kick off the show with a recap of the San Francisco 49ers’ win over the Miami Dolphins, which saw Jimmy Garoppolo go down with a broken foot that will leave San Francisco with their third starting QB of the season.After that, the guys discuss the Cincinnati Bengals’ riveting win over the Kansas City Chiefs, including the frustration with trying to pick a Chiefs WR to bet on in fantasy football.Does anyone offer two better fantasy players, and roles, than the Las Vegas Raiders with Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams? Almost definitely not, and the guys talk about what is wrong with the Los Angeles Chargers offense and whether it can be fixed in time for them to make the playoffs.The Minnesota Vikings, a bad team with a good record, held off the New York Jets but offered very little in terms of fantasy value. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Detroit Lions got Amon-Ra St. Brown into the end zone twice and brought D’Andre Swift’s fantasy value back to life.There’s lots of WR talk, as per usual, including A.J. Brown’s revenge game against the Titans, Christian Watson squarely in Aaron Rodgers’ circle of trust, and the best WR tandem in the league in Seattle.01:00 49ers 33, Dolphins 1709:15 Bengals 27, Chiefs 2417:35 Raiders 27, Chargers 2025:15 Vikings 27, Jets 2232:10 Lions 40, Jaguars 1437:45 Eagles 35, Titans 1042:00 Packers 28, Bears 1947:55 Commanders 20, Giants 2052:00 Browns 27, Texans 1458:30 Seahawks 27, Rams 2363:40 Steelers 19, Falcons 1666:30 Ravens 10, Broncos 9Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Ep 580Week 13 Fantasy Preview: Dak is playing his best football, Tua faces a big test & D’Andre Swift’s role isn’t changing

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab to preview all of the Sunday and Monday NFL games coming up in week 13, with an eye towards fantasy football and maybe a few betting tips as well.The guys start by talking about how injuries to Elijah Mitchell and Christian McCaffrey could end up being good news for Deebo Samuel managers before wondering if the Kansas City Chiefs running game will be able to get off the ground against the Cincinnati Bengals.The Los Angeles Chargers won’t be able to stop Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, if Jacobs plays at all, but that situation is a lot clearer than whatever is happening in the Detroit Lions’ backfield with D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.There are signs of weakness in the run defense of the 10-1 Philadelphia Eagles, who face Derrick Henry this week, and we probably won’t know if Justin Fields is going to play before Sunday.Find out what to expect from Deshaun Watson against the Texans in his return to the NFL, and who should’ve been the offensive rookie of the year this year (but isn’t going to be).Finally, the guys wonder if the Dallas Cowboys are the Super Bowl contender than nobody is talking about and discuss why the New Orleans Saints seem tied to Andy Dalton even though James Winston seems ready to play.03:00 Dolphins at 49ers11:00 Chiefs at Bengals16:15 Chargers at Raiders21:25 Jets at Vikings28:50 Jaguars at Lions33:10 Titans at Eagles40:15 Steelers at Falcons43:45 Packers at Bears49:00 Broncos at Ravens54:55 Commanders at Giants59:10 Browns at Texans63:50 Seahawks at Rams65:50 SNF: Colts at Cowboys72:20 MNF: Saints at BuccaneersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Rookie WR Christian Watson caught 3 TDs in what could be a season-changing performance for the Packers offense and Patrick Mahomes continued to show why he’s the most valuable player in the NFL.02:00 Vikings 33, Bills 30 (OT)11:55 Lions 31, Bears 3016:50 Buccaneers 21, Seahawks 1622:20 Dolphins 39, Browns 1732:40 Colts 25, Raiders 2041:45 Packers 31, Cowboys 28 (OT)47:35 Chiefs 27, Jaguars 1753:15 Titans 17, Broncos 1055:00 Giants 24, Texans 1657:30 Cardinals 27, Rams 1761:30 Steelers 20, Saints 10Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

They also spend time celebrating the huge 5 TD game from Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon, and discuss if it’s time to trade Mixon off your fantasy roster or not.The guys finish with the afternoon games, with Scott floating a theory that Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay wanted to walk way from football after last season and probably should’ve.01:50 Dolphins 35, Bears 3211:55 Chargers 20, Falcons 1717:40 Lions 15, Packers 924:20 Jaguars 27, Raiders 2029:55 Patriots 26, Colts 337:40 Jets 20, Bills 1746:55 Bengals 42, Panthers 2154:20 Vikings 20, Commanders 1758:45 Seahawks 31, Cardinals 2166:15 Buccaneers 16, Rams 13Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

There’s a good reason why the Chiefs are on top of the division and Austin explains how the Chargers are trying to catch up.The mailbag was a little light this week, which gives Austin and Matt plenty of time to discuss their opinions on building a team through the draft versus building through free agency and trades.Finally, the guys invite Rainn Wilson from The Office and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story onto the pod to talk about his fantasy football teams, his regret in trading away Austin last year in The Office Fantasy Football League and punishments for last place.

Between bye weeks and nobody taking a step forward that won’t soon lose their job to a returning starter, there’s just not a lot of fantasy gold on the waiver wire this week.One guy to look for is Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce, who is putting up consistent numbers in an offense that seems like it might finally be finding its identity as a pass-first operation.Before wrapping up with an update from the Treviso Babes league, Matt and Andy tell you who they would suggest dropping, which guys they think are still worth holding onto, and which rookies would make for great stashes at the end of your bench for the second half of the season.01:30 Cardinals trade for WR Robbie Anderson following WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown injury12:45 WR DeSean Jackson visiting Ravens14:20 Carson Wentz out for 4-6 weeks, Taylor Heinicke to get Commanders starting QB job19:55 Rams LT Joe Noteboom out for season with torn Achilles20:50 SNF Philadelphia Eagles 26, Dallas Cowboys 1731:00 Waiver Wire Pickups - Running Backs37:30 Waiver Wire Pickups - Wide Receivers41:30 Change in the Indianapolis Colts offensive identity?46:40 Waiver Wire Pickups - Quarterbacks & Tight Ends52:25 Drops55:50 Hold on loosely58:45 Getting in early61:20 Treviso Babes updateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/
