Ekeler’s Edge: Pollard vs. Zeke, AFC West roundup & Rainn Wilson Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is back from the bye week and excited to get back to another episode of Ekeler’s Edge.

On this week’s episode, the guys discuss the interesting situation in the Dallas Cowboys backfield between Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott and how RB committees are actually beneficial to the team and the guys that are in it (even if they’re bad for fantasy).

Later, the guys discuss the AFC West and why it’s not living up to the preseason hype. There’s a good reason why the Chiefs are on top of the division and Austin explains how the Chargers are trying to catch up.

The mailbag was a little light this week, which gives Austin and Matt plenty of time to discuss their opinions on building a team through the draft versus building through free agency and trades.

Finally, the guys invite Rainn Wilson from The Office and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story onto the pod to talk about his fantasy football teams, his regret in trading away Austin last year in The Office Fantasy Football League and punishments for last place. He also gets some start/sit advice from Matt while he’s here.

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens for a wrap-up of the news heading out of Week 8 and into the NFL’s Week 9. The guys break down some injury updates and recap the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Green Bay Packers before diving into some waiver wire pickup recommendations.

Justin Fields probably leads the pack of waiver pickups for this week, but there’s a surprisingly frisky group of TEs to consider and it’s time to start stashing RBs for the run up to the fantasy football playoffs.

Lastly, the guys tell you who you can safely drop from your fantasy roster, who you should hold on to (loosely) and which guys you should get on your roster early before they start putting up good fantasy numbers.

Week 8 Pickups: James Robinson traded to the Jets, Gus Edwards is back and Raheem Mostert smash spot Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens try and solve the Week 8 waiver wire for fantasy football managers, but first they go through all of the news of the day.

First, the guys discuss Matt Ryan's benching in Indianapolis and what it means for Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce to have Sam Ehlinger as their QB

Then, the guys talk about the Breece Hall injury and what it means for the Jets (this part of the podcast was recorded before the James Robinson trade was announced).

The guys also discuss David Njoku's recovery timeline and DK Metcalf's impact on the Seahawks offense before getting to a few recommendations on the waiver wire for each position and recapping the Sunday night game between the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Finally, the guys provide fantasy managers with players to drop, guys to "hold on loosely" and an update from the Treviso Babes league.

Week 7 Recap: The Bengals are back, Gus Edwards is back & plenty of injuries Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski go through all of the weekend games from Week 7 in the NFL and discuss the best fantasy performances, the disappointments, and the news that fantasy managers will have to adjust for.

Scott starts out the show apologizing for being wrong about Gus Edwards, who had a nice week as the Baltimore Ravens starting RB, and firing back at Twitter trolls.

After discussing how offense is down, defenses are winning, and fantasy studs are missing out on touchdowns to unknown guys that usually sit on the bench, Matt and Scott at least agree that it was really fun to see the Cincinnati Bengals offense take flight again and to watch Patrick Mahomes have such a great game against a good San Francisco 49ers defense.

As thy go through the games, and discuss the frailty of aging QBs like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, the guys keep coming back to the same question: Who is more likely to fix their team, the Green Bay Packers or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
