Second Half Breakouts, Broncos-Browns, Fantasy Cops! (10/20 Fantasy Football Podcast) Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

Is it OK to start players on their bye week to avoid dropping good players? Of course it is! After we settle that, we'll give you the latest news (5:00) and get into some second half breakouts (10:00). Who is this year's David Montgomery? It might just be Montgomery himself! But also keep an eye on the Eagles (11:30) and Miles Sanders ... The listeners give their breakout suggestions (18:50) which include Mike Gesicki, Brandon Aiyuk and almost every rookie. Do we agree? And we spend some time discussing Javonte Williams (27:15) ... Some quick questions (33:00) about Christian McCaffrey, Michael Thomas, Kadarius Toney, Noah Fant and more. Then we preview Broncos-Browns (45:30) and spend a lot of time on D'Ernest Johnson before turning it over to the Fantasy Cops (56:30) and reading your Apple Podcast questions (1:02:00) and emails ...

Waiver Wire! Brace for the Byenado! (10/19 Fantasy Football Podcast) Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

There is some serious talent on bye this week, so let's hope you don't have to drop anyone too valuable to make a waiver claim for Week 7. Before we get to the waiver wire, how about Derrick Henry!? Is he a sell high? What would it take for the Henry manager to trade him away? ... Best waiver wire options in shallower leagues (6:45), in deeper leagues (12:50) and in "normal" leagues (13:40)! In shallower leagues, keep an eye out for J.D. McKissic, Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert and Kadarius Toney. In deeper leagues, you've got the Browns and Ravens RBs to consider. And for the leagues we address most often, Sterling Shepard is a headliner but how does he compare to Devonta Freeman and D'Ernest Johnson? Also, keep in mind this might be the week to save your waiver wire priority (24:00), but we'll also have a FAB discussion if you need to make moves (30:00) ... News and notes (32:00) and the Top 3 at each position: QB (35:00), RB (37:15), WR (38:10), TE (41:00), DST (43:50) and Kicker. ... Recapping Bills-Titans (45:50), getting the Dropometer out (52:35) and taking a longer look at the waiver wire (55:00) with IDP suggestions at the very end of the show ...

Show notes

We've got a recap of Seahawks-Steelers, focusing mostly on the dud WRs. How much do we trust Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Chase Claypool going forward? And we'll update you on the latest news and discuss the best RBs to add off the waiver wire (8:40) ... Are Chuba Hubbard and Josh Jacobs trustworthy or do you cringe when you put them in your lineups (16:50)? What will Michael Thomas do when he returns (23:00)? Is he a Top 12 WR? Top 24? ... Let's take a look at the QB position and compare it to 2020 (27:30). You might be surprised at how the 2021 QBs have done. Also, we give you a bunch of second-half breakout candidates (33:00) and predict what the Bears backfield will look like in Week 7 and beyond (39:00) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
