Playoff Challenge 1-20-20 Jan 02, 2020

Show notes

Fantasy football is always about picking the best players. The NFL playoffs add the challenge of predicting which teams will move on and which will bow out early. On this show, we're talking about who will make a run, who has no chance and which players appear set up to score for fantasy owners. We're also digging into the best ways to build your lineup for the FFPC Playoff Challenge: top plays, contrarian options, big names to consider fading and more.

Here's the rundown:

Teams to target ... 4:01

Teams to avoid ... 7:49

Last year's championship lineup ... 11:59

QB: Is Lamar Jackson a must play? ... 15:28

RB: Play or fade Derrick Henry? ... 21:40

WR: Michael Thomas and everyone else ... 34:06

TE: The George Kittle show ... 45:30

Filling out the lineup ... 50:04

Week 17 FanDuel 12-27-19 Dec 28, 2019

Show notes

Ryan Tannehill looks like a good starting point at QB this week, though his popularity might make other paths more attractive. We're not scared of going back to Joe Mixon after last week's disappointment. We just might shy away from Christian McCaffrey one last time, though, because plenty of upside resides elsewhere at the position. You'll need some salary-saving sleepers to fit several top-shelf plays into your lineup, though. Is Kerryon Johnson ready to provide that help? We don't agree on that answer.

Here are the picks:

QB ... 2:54

RB ... 7:23

WR ... 12:02

TE ... 15:01

Flex ... 18:27

Defense ... 19:54

Week 17 DraftKings 12-27-19 Dec 27, 2019

Show notes

The Panthers want to help Christian McCaffrey set some records this Sunday. Should he do so in your DK lineups? Or can you find just as much upside at lower prices? Fitting any expensive RBs -- or top-shelf WRs -- will require some savings, and we've got a number of wideouts who can help. And you just might find a sneaky TE to assist as well.

Here are the picks:

QB ... 3:26

RB ... 7:51

WR ... 15:06

TE ... 21:25

Flex ... 24:48

Defense ... 26:26

Week 17 Preview 12-26-19 Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

Yeah, we know the reasons to avoid Week 17. But there's still football, which means there's still fantasy. What should we do with Daniel Jones and Dak Prescott after Week 16 saw them fly in opposite directions? What about the teams with their playoff spots secured -- and those who might be locked in by kickoff? And can we still find sleeper plays among the other teams? You betcha.

Here's the rundown ...

FFPC Playoff Challenge ... 00:46

Teams to avoid ... 2:43

Injuries to track ... 10:30

QB questions ... 16:30

RBs to lean on ... 26:20

WR matchups you need to know ... 35:54

TE spot starters ... 41:25

Defenses to stream ... 42:34

Week 16 DraftKings 12-20-19 Dec 21, 2019

Show notes

Devonta Freeman and Joe Mixon get 2 of the best scoring matchups an RB can find. The Giants hit Washington for a matchup that features somewhat sneaky upside for both teams. Arizona heads to Seattle to raise the ceiling. And we're waiting on the weather for Bengals-Dolphins. Before all that, though, we have Breshad Perriman and a 3-game Saturday slate to address.

Here's the rundown:

Saturday slate ... 2:15

QB ... 8:09

RB ... 10:48

WR ... 14:24

TE ... 17:34

Flex ... 20:24

Defense ... 21:50

Saturday's slate ... 2:40

QB ... 3:33

RB ... 9:47

WR ... 13:44

TE ... 18:24

Week 15 FanDuel 12-13-19 Dec 14, 2019

Show notes

A shootout might be brewing in Dallas. And if that's the case, there are some high-ceiling plays headed for lower owned rates than they should be. There are some affordable receivers with nice target floors, and you can even find a cheap RB who emerged as a starter in recent weeks.

Here are the picks:

QB ... 2:38

RB ... 6:49

WR ... 11:13

TE ... 15:24

Flex ... 17:52

Defense ... 19:00
