Ep 623Aaron Rodgers boards the Jets, could Patriots make a big WR trade, Cowboys part from Zeke & more free agency reactions

Most of the NFL's juiciest player moves occurred during the early-week "legal tampering" period, but as free agency kicked off in earnest on Wednesday, there were still plenty of signings for fantasy managers to feast on. The biggest move wasn't even technically a transaction, as the endlessly introspective Aaron Rodgers announced his intention to be traded to the New York Jets, but nothing will be official until the Green Bay Packers sort out trade compensation with his team of the future.Matt Harmon is joined by Fantasy Life's Dwain McFarland to look at all of the biggest moves from Wednesday and Thursday, starting off with a deep-dive on the Jets offense with Rodgers at the helm. How high up should managers draft sophomore WR Garrett Wilson next year? What about third-year WR Elijah Moore who had an intriguing first season in New York, but found himself in the doghouse for much of 2022?Later, Matt and Dwain talk about the New England Patriots signing JuJu Smith-Schuster and whether they could be in the market to trade for a Cardinals or Broncos wideout. They also react to the week's news that the Dallas Cowboys would be releasing RB Ezekiel Elliott and they talk about their favorite potential Zeke landing spots.Wrapping up the show, they discuss moves made by the Carolina Panthers & run through a number of other free agency additions, including a trio of lesser QB moves in Baker Mayfield, Jacoby Brissett & Gardner Minshew & three RBs who signed new deals in David Montgomery, Jamaal Williams & Alexander Mattison.3:55 Aaron Rodgers' fantasy fit with the New York Jets offense14:55 New England Patriots sign JuJu Smith-Schuster, could be in the market for a WR trade30:30 Ezekiel Elliot to be cut by Dallas Cowboys40:00 New homes for Baker Mayfield, Jacoby Brissett & Gardner Minshew48:00 Carolina Panthers sign Miles Sanders, could add another WR53:50 David Montgomery goes to Detroit, Jamaal Williams to New Orleans & Alexander Mattison stays in Minnesota61:30 Grab bag moves: Giants sign two WRs; Robert Tonyan; Braxton Berrios; Orlando Brown;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 622Bears/Panthers trade, Ekeler requests out of LA, offensive linemen galore & more takeaways from free agency's first 48 hours

Though free agency only technically begins on Wednesday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday's "legal tampering period" gives football fans much to discuss in terms of player movement ahead of the 2023 NFL season.Matt Harmon is joined by 4for4's John Daigle to recap all of the biggest transactions from this early-week period, but first kick things off with Friday night's news that the Carolina Panthers traded for the Chicago Bears' first overall pick in exchange for four future picks and WR DJ Moore. The guys talk about why it's a great trade for both teams, how Carolina can get their QB of the future and Chicago can bolster a weak WR room with one of the best wideouts available this offseason.Next, they talk about Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler requesting a trade and why it's potentially a tough market for free-agent RBs at the moment. For the rest of the show, Matt and John run through a boatload of teams and their bigg offseason moves: the Las Vegas Raiders signing Jimmy Garoppolo and trading away Darren Waller, the Houston Texans beginning to put a "not embarrassing" roster together, the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons spending money on offensive line, the Miami Dolphins trading for CB Jalen Ramsey and more.2:30 Latest on the status of Aaron Rodgers7:20 Bears trade 1st overall pick to Carolina Panthers for four picks, DJ Moore17:10 LA Chargers RB Austin Ekeler explores a trade21:00 Las Vegas Raiders add Jimmy Garoppolo, trade Darren Waller to NYG33:10 Houston Texans inching towards respectability with FA signings so far37:30 Denver Broncos moves show they are going run-first43:41 49ers make a splash with...Sam Darnold?46:15 Atlanta Falcons go heavy on OL and defense50:10 Miami Dolphins trade for Jalen Ramsey, add QB Taylor Heineke53:40 Is retaining Michael Thomas a move that will benefit the New Orleans Saints?56:00 Minnesota Vikings add a blocking TE to beef up run game, support Hockenson59:40 Kansas City Chiefs make an offensive line move62:20 Philadelphia Eagles add RB Rashaad Penny & lose key defensive piecesCheck 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 618Fantasy Football Lessons Learned: WRs & TEs

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get to enjoy themselves, for a while, and talk about lessons learned at the WR position from the 2021-22 NFL season before having to talk about what happened to the TE position.They start at the top, with Justin Jefferson as WR1 and the lessons we can take away from his awesome season before wondering if he’d be the #1 WR picked next year or if Ja’Marr Chase is ready to pass him.After working their way through the top 12 WRs with lessons for each one of them, mostly that we should trust the talent and ignore everything else when it comes to elite WRs, the guys move on to trying to solve the TE position.Matt believes that this last season was an aberration for TEs and that they’ll come back to reality next year, while Dalton is more concerned about whether it’s (again) time for him to fade Travis Kielce.02:15 Lessons Learned: Wide Receiver06:40 Rookie WRs08:00 WR1 Justin Jefferson11:10 WR12 Ja’Marr Chase12:40 WR2 Tyreek Hill14:35 WR3 Davante Adams19:40 WR4 Stefon Diggs23:40 WR5 A.J.

Ep 617Fantasy Football Lessons Learned: Quarterbacks

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski go through the top 10 fantasy QBs for the 2022 NFL season and the lessons they learned along the way that will guide their fantasy football drafts in 2023.The guys talk about the steep cliff there was between the top 4 fantasy QBs this season and everyone else, making the argument against the popular “Late Round QB” strategy. They also discuss rushing QBs and whether they’re worth the injury risk to get the fantasy value from them.The top fantasy QB for the season was Patrick Mahomes, and most of the lessons learned are about how no other QB can justifiably be compared to him. However, there was plenty to learn from guys like Josh Allen (high floor), Jalen Hurts (influx in talent helps), Geno Smith (we should’ve seen it coming), Trevor Lawrence (coaching matters) and more.02:15 Late round QB?04:20 Steep cliff at QB in 202210:40 Rushing QBs15:10 Patrick Mahomes23:00 Josh Allen26:50 Jalen Hurts32:00 QB aging curve44:00 Joe Burrow46:15 Geno Smith50:45 Justin Fields54:15 Kirk Cousins55:45 Trevor Lawrence58:40 Daniel Jones61:10 Jared Goff63:25 Who should be the QB in SF?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/

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens get together to discuss what they learned, as fantasy football experts, about the running back position this past season and how they’ll use that knowledge to adjust how they handle it next season.The guys figured that the best way to talk themselves through the top RB lessons learned was to attach one lesson to each of the top 8 RBs in fantasy football last season, with a couple of overachievers added to the end.Find out why you shouldn’t talk about injuries when preparing for your fantasy football draft, why we should’ve seen Saquon Barkley’s big season coming, why Derrick Henry is just different than other RBs and why Andy Behrens might be the GOAT.05:45 Austin Ekeler11:50 Christian McCaffrey19:00 Josh Jacobs26:00 Derrick Henry32:00 Nick Chubb36:00 Saquon Barkley39:15 Tony Pollard43:25 Jamaal Williams49:05 2022 RB OverachieversCheck 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 614Super Bowl LVII Recap: Mahomes or Hurts in fantasy next year?

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap the Kansas City Chiefs’ exciting 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, but the conversation pretty quickly turns to next year’s fantasy value for Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Travis Kielce, Isiah Pacheco, Miles Sanders and just about everyone else who played in this game.The guys start off by talking about the late-game penalty that kept the Eagles from being able to make a game-winning (or overtime-forcing) drive at the end of regulation, and the Eagles classy response to the flag, before turning their attention to the game and the talent on both of these rosters.Patrick Mahomes is on his way to becoming the best QB in the history of the league, the AFC is absolutely loaded, and the Eagles are still probably the most talented roster in the entire NFL. This may not be the last time we see either of these teams, or both of these teams, in the Super Bowl over the next few years.The guys have some fun conversations on if they’d rather have Mahomes or Hurts on their fantasy team next year, what the Eagles’ backfield could look like, how Ryan Tannehill must’ve felt watching A.J. Brown in the Super Bowl, and what lessons the rest of the NFL can take away in terms of drafting and developing QBs.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/

Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab break down both the AFC and NFC Championship games from over the weekend, talking about Brock Purdy’s injury in the 49ers loss and Patrick Mahomes playing through a high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to victory.The guys start by talking about the Philadelphia Eagles, who cruised to another easy win after their outstanding pass rush knocked both Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson out of the game, leaving the San Francisco 49ers without any options at QB.What are the Eagles’ offseason plans at RB? And is Brock Purdy a shoe-in to be the 49ers starting QB next season or could Tom Brady join this franchise?After that discussion, the guys talk about the officiating that ended the Cincinnati Bengals’ hopes against the Kansas City Chiefs and marvel at just how good Patrick Mahomes is.Finally, Scott and Frank give their very early Super Bowl picks against the spread and explain why they’re picking the teams they are.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 610Conference Championship Preview: Burrow flying under the radar & Purdy’s biggest test yet

Matt Harmon is joined by his Fantasy Football Live co-hosts Andy Behrens and Tank Williams to preview both the AFC and NFC Championship games this weekend.First, the guys tackle a bit of news. They talk about the Carolina Panthers hiring Frank Reich to be their head coach and whether or not it will pull Matt back into being a Panthers fan.They they discuss the New York Jets hiring former Broncos head coach Nathanial Hackett to be their offensive coordinator and debate if it’s simply a move to recruit Aaron Rodgers to New York.Finally, they get to the games. First up is 49ers at Eagles, a matchup of arguably the two best defenses and two of the best offenses in the NFL this season. This is the biggest test of rookie QB Brock Purdy, on the road against a great defense in the playoffs, and they’re all eager to see how he does.The guys finish off the episode by talking about Bengals at Chiefs, a surprisingly even matchup that centers around the health of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Don’t count out the defending AFC Champion Bengals, though, and star QB Joe Burrow.02:00 Panthers hire Frank Reich to be their new head coach10:00 Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett to be their new OC17:20 49ers at Eagles40:00 Bengals at ChiefsCheck 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 609Divisional Round Recap: Mahomes on one leg, the Eagles are loaded & Dak’s performance was unacceptable

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens recap the first 3 games of the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round, but not before having a debate over whether it is still considered the best weekend for football each year.They start off by talking about Patrick Mahomes, who fought his way through a high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. There’s a bigger challenge waiting for him in the Bengals next week, but maybe he just needed a good night of sleep?Andy and Matt agree that Jaguars fans should be happy with their team’s season and excited for what the next few years holds with this young, talented group.The Eagles absolutely overwhelmed the Giants, as many probably expected, but the Giants had a good season and now have some decisions to make about Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.Joe Burrow and the (underrated) Cincinnati Bengals played a near perfect game in the snow of Buffalo, while Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs struggled to carry the rest of the Bills further in the playoffs.Finally, Dalton Del Don takes Andy’s spot to give us a boots on the ground report from the 49ers’ win over the Dallas Cowboys.04:00 Chiefs 27, Jaguars 2017:55 Eagles 38, Giants 730:05 Bengals 27, Bills 1049:25 49ers 19, Cowboys 12Check 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 608Divisional Round Preview: Cowboys are underrated, Jags look like the 2021 Bengals & America’s teaser picks

Matt Harmon, Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab go over all four of the NFL playoff games coming up this weekend and preview each one in great detail, including where they would put their own money if they were betting on them.Frank is reminded of the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals that went to the Super Bowl when he looks at the 2022 Jacksonville Jaguars, and he wouldn’t be surprised to see an upset in Kansas City.Scott is worried about Jalen Hurts, who hasn’t played a great game in about a month, and wonders if the Giants can find a way to slow that Eagles offense down.Matt is begging Josh Allen to calm down and stop making stupid mistakes. He could get away with it against the Dolphins, but it’ll be a very different challenge against the defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals.Finally, the guys agree that the Dallas Cowboys are underrated and could win the Super Bowl this year. They face what might be their toughest challenge this week, in San Francisco against the 49ers.02:55 Jaguars at Chiefs20:55 Giants at Eagles35:00 Bengals at Bills50:15 Cowboys at 49ersCheck 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 607Wild Card Recap: The end of Brady in TB, historic Charger-ing & Daniel Jones sinks the Vikings

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens recap all six of the games from a wildly entertaining NFL Wild Card weekend and look ahead to the offseason plans for the teams that were eliminated.Dak Prescott and Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore really shined on Monday night, effectively ending Tom Brady’s time with the Buccaneers. He likely won’t find a home with the 49ers, who continue to get impressive performances from rookie QB Brock Purdy and an offense filled with playmakers.The Chargers blew a 27-0 lead to lose to the Jaguars, and it’s mostly the fault of their run game that has struggled all season. The Bills put up a terrible performance against the Dolphins, who fought against the play clock just as much as they battled against the Bills.In “The Fraud Bowl”, the Vikings lived up to (bad) expectations but the Giants (and QB Daniel Jones) might have something special brewing. If nothing else, they’ve built an ecosystem that free agents will be eager to join this offseason.Finally, the Bengals squeaked by Tyler Huntley and the Ravens, who have to figure out what’s going on with Lamar Jackson and then figure out their offensive identity going forward.01:50 Cowboys 31, Buccaneers 1412:05 49ers 41, Seahawks 2324:25 Jaguars 31, Chargers 3038:20 Bills 34, Dolphins 3147:20 Giants 31, Vikings 2458:15 Bengals 24, Ravens 1767:00 Last 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 606Wild Card Preview: The Fraud Bowl, Brock Purdy as a young Tom Brady & great surfer hair

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab to preview all six of this weekend’s NFL playoff games for Wild Card weekend in great detail.The guys tackle the games in order, starting with the Seahawks-49ers game and a conversation about rookie QB Brock Purdy (with lots of comparisons to 2001 Tom Brady). The group is split on who will be the winner of Chargers-Jaguars, but they might be aligned when it comes to which QB has the better head of hair.The Dolphins have no hope against the Bills, so the preview of that game inevitably leads to talk about Justin Fields’ sack rate. The Giants-Vikings game is referred to as “The Fraud Bowl” because nobody believes in either team, although Daniel Jones is awesome and K.J. Osborn might have some interesting props this weekend.The Ravens can barely field an offense but their defense should be enough to make the first half against the Bengals interesting. Meanwhile, which version of Dak Prescott will show up in Tampa on Monday night?01:40 Seahawks at 49ers18:20 Chargers at Jaguars33:20 Dolphins at Bills44:55 Giants at Vikings57:15 Ravens at Bengals67:20 Cowboys 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/

Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is back with Matt Harmon for the final episode of Ekeler’s Edge of the season. Together, the guys look back at the amazing year Austin had as fantasy football’s RB1 before looking ahead to the Chargers’ playoff game against the Jaguars this weekend.The show kicks off with some positive news on Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin before recapping the season that was for Austin. As per usual, he’s already put his great performance behind him and is wondering how high he’s going to go in fantasy drafts next year.The guys also talk about the slow start to the season that Austin had, which is where he was when the Chargers faced the Jaguars in week 3 of this season. Things are quite a bit different now for both the Chargers and Jaguars, but Austin explains that there is still a lot to learn from their early-season matchup that can be used on Saturday.One more time, the guys play a round of ‘Fantasy Toss-Up’, this time including DFS prices to help fantasy players determine which guy to take when building their lineups for Wild Card weekend.Finally, we end the show with the final installment of the Ask Austin mailbag. Find out the difference between DI and DII college football budgets (and transportation), Austin’s thoughts on NFL expansion, and his takeaway from Coach Staley leaving in the starters during the week 18 loss to the team’s Broncos.01:00 Damar Hamlin positive updates07:15 Austin’s fantasy season23:00 Chargers/Jaguars Wild Card preview31:30 Justin Herbert’s 1st playoff game34:10 Fantasy Toss-Ups!35:00 Geno Smith vs. Tom Brady36:55 Daniel Jones vs. Brock Purdy38:50 Christian McCaffrey vs. Austin Ekeler41:45 Travis Etienne vs. Kenneth Walker43:15 Brandon Aiyuk vs. Christian Kirk44:40 Josh Palmer vs. Tyler Boyd46:00 Ask Austin mailbag46:15 Austin making money for fantasy players49:00 Experience playing football for a small school52:20 Staley leaving in the starters in week 1856:00 Thoughts on international NFL expansionCheck 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 603Week 18 Recap: Cardinals fire Kingsbury, Lions bury the Packers, Seahawks & Jaguars are playoff-bound

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to recap all of the craziness from week 18, which featured a lot of teams resting their starters or with nothing to play for. That didn’t stop the Detroit Lions, though, who played for pride and kept the Green Bay Packers out of the playoffs.The guys talk through all of the games, paying special attention to the teams that missed out on the playoffs and what questions they will face in the offseason. The Arizona Cardinals kicked off their offseason by opening up their head coach and GM positions, leading Matt and Dalton to wonder who would want that job.After marveling at the one-year turnaround of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Matt and Dalton also marvel at what Pete Carroll and Geno Smith were able to do wtih the Seattle Seahawks in the post-Russ era. Also, what would a Sean McVay-led rebuild look like for the Rams?Love Smith gave the Texans two middle fingers on his way out the door and we loved it, the Panthers players did everything they could to win Steve Walks a job, a Ronald Jones sighting, a Kenny Golladay TD, and singing Happy Birthday to George Kittle’s grandmother are all included on this very fun episode!02:55 Lions 20, Packers 1609:10 Bills 35, Patriots 2314:15 Bengals 27, Ravens 1615:30 Jaguars 20, Titans 1622:45 Seahawks 19, Rams 1629:20 Dolphins 11, Jets 632:35 Texans 32, Colts 3136:55 Vikings 29, Bears 1339:35 Panthers 10, Saints 741:20 Chiefs 31, Raiders 1344:00 Eagles 22, Giants 1646:20 Commanders 26, Cowboys 649:30 Steelers 28, Browns 1454:30 49ers 38, Cardinals 1358:35 Broncos 31, Chargers 2861:30 Falcons 30, Buccaneers 17Check 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 602Week 18 Fantasy Preview: Who will play and who will rest?

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don and former NFL safety Tank Williams to preview all of the NFL games from week 18 with an eye towards betting and DFS.Obviously, the health of Damar Hamlin and the mental health of all NFL players and coaches hangs over this final week of football, and the guys take time to discuss some positive updates and some stories from Tank’s playing career that provide a bit more context about what comes next.However, with playoff berths on the line, eventually the focus switches to the games and the motivations of each team heading into them. There are some teams that will use this week to rest their starters (Bucs, Giants, Chargers), some that need a win to play again next week (Packers, Jaguars, Titans), and others that are just looking to protect their seeding or potentially move up.It’s a difficult week to navigate, but the guys have you covered with plenty of suggestions and opinions that you can follow or fade as you prepare for the football weekend.06:15 Chiefs at Raiders12:35 Vikings at Bears15:50 Giants at Eagles19:00 Patriots at Bills28:00 Ravens at Bengals35:45 Panthers at Saints41:50 Rams at Seahawks45:50 Cowboys at Commanders49:45 Browns at Steelers53:15 Buccaneers at Falcons56:45 Cardinals at 49ers61:20 Titans at Jaguars65:15 Chargers at Broncos67:25 Jets at Dolphins70:25 Texans at Colts72:20 Lions at PackersCheck 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 600Week 17 Recap: Mike Evans is back, Cam Akers is fixed & Davante Adams is QB-proof

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens to recap week 17 in the NFL, also typically known as fantasy football championship week. The guys discuss some big performances, a few duds, and look ahead for a couple of teams who are already out of playoff contention.We kick the show off with a recap of the very fun “backup QB bowl” between Jarrett Stidham (and the Raiders) and Brock Purdy (and the 49ers), but very quickly work our way towards the outstanding offensive performances by Tom Brady, Mike Evans and the rest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers…who are a team nobody wants to play in the playoffs.Noted Bears fan Andy implores the team to protect Justin Fields at all costs before the guys try and figure out what to make of the current four-game winning streak from the Green Bay Packers.The Dolphins season looks like it’s slipping away due to Tua’s concussion issues, Damien Harris ate into most of Rhamondre Stevenson’s fantasy value, we still don’t trust anyone on the Chiefs besides Mahomes & Kelce, and the Jaguars didn’t have to play hard (or for very long) to put away the Texans.This is a fun episode as the guys go through all of the games played on Sunday, including another 2-TD performance by our guy Austin Ekeler!03:50 49ers 37, Raiders 34 (OT)10:45 Buccaneers 30, Panthers 2419:50 Lions 41, Bears 1026:55 Packers 41, Vikings 1734:45 Patriots 23, Dolphins 2139:35 Chiefs 27, Broncos 2444:20 Jaguars 31, Texans 346:05 Chargers 31, Rams 1050:30 Seahawks 23, Jets 653:30 Giants 38, Colts 1058:50 Saints 20, Eagles 1061:40 Falcons 20, Cardinals 1963:40 Browns 24, Commanders 1066:35 Steelers 16, Ravens 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/

Ep 599Week 17 Fantasy Preview: Championship week is a disaster!

Matt Harmon is joined by Marvin Elequin and Dalton Del Don to preview all of the week 17 NFL games from a fantasy angle during championship week (in most fantasy football leagues).Unfortunately, for the teams that are still alive in fantasy, this week is a mess. Or a disaster. However you want to describe it, it’s probably bad for the players on your team.Many teams have no motivation to win this week, so there are plenty of questions about who will play and for how long. Will Christian McCaffrey play past halftime? What about Travis Etienne and Trevor Lawrence? Will Austin Ekeler play or rest?The guys do their best to sort it all out, and end up talking quite a bit about Stefon Diggs’ diet, rooting against Tom Brady, curses upon George Kittle, and combining Greg Dortch and Rondale Moore into a single player.02:20 Bears at Lions08:40 Vikings at Packers12:40 Broncos at Chiefs17:20 Jaguars at Texans20:00 Rams at Chargers24:00 Jets at Seahawks26:50 Saints at Eagles32:30 Cardinals at Falcons38:20 49ers at Raiders43:35 Dolphins at Patriots45:45 Panthers at Buccaneers50:45 Browns at Commanders53:15 Colts at Giants56:25 Steelers at Ravens59:00 Bills at BengalsCheck 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 is joined by fellow stat nerd Dalton Del Don for another episode of Stat Nerd Thursday. Together, the guys come up with one stat for all 32 teams and also preview the Thursday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans.The guys talk a lot about this weekend’s game between the Bears and Lions in Detroit, and what a great setup that is for fantasy players in championship weekend. They also talk a bit about Russell Wilson losing his athleticism seemingly overnight and if he can be fixed with a new Broncos coach.Cam Akers and D’Onta Foreman both showed last week that an Achilles injury is not a career-ender for running backs anymore, but how much can we believe in them this week? Also, how dark will things get for the Raiders against the 49ers now that they’ve benched Derek Carr in favor of Jarrett Stidham?Dalton has one, and only one, reason for maybe not starting Trevor Lawrence this week. Matt wants to see what the Dolphins offense looks like with Teddy Bridgewater in place of Tua, who is back in the concussion protocol. Neither guy can figure out which Chiefs RB to play.

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.

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/

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/

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/

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/

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/

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/
