It's a tough week for fantasy football lineups. Heck, *every* week is a tough week for fantasy football lineups! Today we'll focus in on some players *you* might be considering starting or sitting for Week 7, including the looming Josh Jacobs question. We'll also preview the attractive Thursday night Patriots/Bears contest, pick teams for DraftKings DFS, catch up on the listener snarkbag, and play not one but *two* incredible new mixtapes. It's a fun one! Guests: Jeff Bell of FootballGuys.com and DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.

What the heck was going on in the NFL's Week 6 with comebacks? On today's podcast, we'll review the rest of the Week 6 action with an eye toward your fantasy football team, and in each one, a team's huge lead got erased by a frantic comeback -- and in a few cases, the comeback led to a win! A crazy week with a lot of injuries and more film to help us make good fantasy decisions...and for Week 7, that begins with a waiver wire with many interesting speculative adds! Guest: Scott Fish of FantasyCares.org.

What is up with the Cowboys offense? What in the world happened to the Rams? Are the Texans and Jaguars suddenly always going to score a billion points? There's no way to tell any of this by looking at box scores: you have to watch the games! And that's what we do every week...we've got eight of the Week 6 Sunday contests for you in film-review form, and we'll tell you what we think we saw! Plus we'll preview Monday night's Commanders/Niners tilt. Guest: Patrick Daugherty of Rotoworld.

Like jazz, sometimes fantasy football is all about the trades you *don't* make. Our main topic for today's show is players who've started the 2026 season hotter than expected, but we don't particularly want to sell high on them, and players who've started colder than expected, but we don't really want to buy low. Of course, there are always exceptions, and so we *will* actually suggest some possible deals, but also warn you away from some potential landmines. Plus we'll review the sleepy Thursday night Broncos win over the Seahawks, and review the injury names you need to know for Week 6. Guest: Cousin Josh.

Rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has pretty much been a fantasy football disaster so far. But let's not allow the fact that it's looking like we made a good call on the kid force us to paint him with too broad a brush. Does he look injured? Are the Cardinals simply hopeless? What's he done on film so far? We'll do a Love Film Futures on today's podcast, plus discuss some difficult start/sit lineup decisions for Week 6, preview Thursday night's Seahawks/Broncos game, and fill out our DraftKings DFS lineups! Guests: Dave Kluge of FootballGuys.com and DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.
