Show Notes
Let's get ready for Week 8! We're picking out five players we're not sure what to do with in fantasy football lineups for this weekend -- start/sit guys who could wind up at your flex or on your bench. We're also doing a deep dive into the film of second-year Bears wide receiver Luther Burden to see what he looks like in a successful season so far. And we'll pick some lineups for DraftKings DFS. It's a packed show! Enjoy! Guests: Denny Carter of Rotoworld and DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.

Saquon Barkley seems destined to join many other injured Eagles on your fantasy bench, while the Cowboys -- emotionally fragile as they are -- scored like crazy on Monday night. On today's pod, we'll review the rest of the Week 7 game film to go beyond the box score and make you smarter! Then it's time to spin it forward and think about Week 8, and that begins with a Waiver Wire with some intriguing wide receiver names on it, and some lottery ticket running backs you need! Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.
Sunday's most impressive quarterback performance might've been...J.J. McCarthy??? It's arguable! Our Week 7 game film breakdowns begin today, and McCarthy was just terrific for the Giants: we'll talk about what we saw in that overtime win over the Texans, and in seven *other* games that played out on Sunday. How did Josh Jacobs look in his return? What can you take away from the Bucs' offensive explosion? Did Bo Nix cure what ails him? We'll discuss those games and many more to make those fantasy football teams better! Guest: Jamey Eisenberg from CBS Fantasy.
When we do fantasy football drafts, we should try and make perceived offensive situations matter as little as we can, because we're *bad* knowing which teams will be good beforehand. But six games in? We have a much better idea, and situations matter *so* much. So our main topic today will be assessing which offenses are wagons, which are surprises or disappointments, and more. Plus we'll review the Bears' exciting win over the Patriots and discuss the injury names we need to know for Week 7! Guest: Cousin Josh.
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.
