Week 3 Pickups: Replacing Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

Everyone... and I mean everyone... is heading to the waiver wire after yet another injury-riddled weekend in the NFL. Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski go through each position to give you the players the experts are picking up to salvage their season.

Needless to say, running back will be a huge need for many this week. Andy and Scott both agree on the one available player you should target to replace Barkley and McCaffrey.

The wide receiver position also suffered key injuries. Is it about time we put more stock into the Jacksonville offense? The guys stay in the AFC South for your go-to tight end option as well.

Week 2 Fantasy Preview: Will the real WR2s please stand up? Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

Liz Loza and Andy Behrens are here to get you ready for all things Week 2 on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!

Liz and Andy dedicate this episode to running down one BIG thing to be aware of for every Week 2 game, starting with Sunday morning's kick-off all the way through to Monday night’s matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Las Vegas Raiders.

What can we expect from the Philadelphia Eagles with Miles Sanders returning from injury? How will Courtland Sutton’s return affect Jerry Jeudy and Noah Fant in Denver? Can Hayden Hurst match some of Austin Hooper’s volume in the Atlanta offense after a quiet Week 1? Liz & Andy try to answer these questions and more to get you prepped for Week 2.

And for those of you who prefer your fantasy analysis to be a little bold, our experts finish off the show by taking a look into their crystal balls and give us one truly nutty prediction (Ronald Jones, top-five RB, anyone?) for this weekend's games!

Stat trends we love and hate to see from Week 1 Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are here to talk all things football and Week 2 on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!

First up, our analysts discuss some of the biggest Week 1 trends from the opening act. Some we love: The Seahawks becoming a most pass-heavy team and allowing themselves to #LetRussCook, the Bills cutting loose with play-action passes (tops in the NFL in Week 1!), Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Austin Ekeler being top-10 in RB routes run (breathe Ekeler managers, breathe), Diontae Johnson commanding targets in the Steelers receiving corps, and Gardner Minshew being almost perfect.

There were some trends we hated too, though, like the bottom-five teams in early down success rate (yikes, Eagles), the results for Odell Beckham Jr., Nick Chubb, James Conner, Tom Brady, and Dallas’ offensive line.

Next up, Matt and Dalton’s new segment titled “Who Got Shelled,” where they discuss a defense or defensive player who got absolutely shelled the prior week, then they’ll dive into the data and point out the defensive matchups you might want to take advantage of the following Sunday. In Week 1, whoever was guarding or trying to guard DeAndre Hopkins and Davante Adams definitely got shelled! Our analysts also reveal who they think will get shelled in Week 2.
