Draft Sharks - Fantasy Football Podcast

​ Should you pay down for Derek Carr or Daniel Jones at QB to fit more at RB and WR? Or is there a backup-turned starter at RB to save the week? We've got options at varying salary levels at receiver, which should help if you want to go the Tyler route and play as much Travis Kelce as possible. Let's get to the picks: QB ... 2:57 RB ... 9:32 WR ... 17:06 TE ... 27:14 Flex ... 30:05 Defense ... 31:...

It's Week 12. High-stakes leagues are moving into the postseason. Others are fighting for playoff positions. And we have Thanksgiving condensing the week. But we're here to address some questions at QB and WR, sort out some backfields and find some streaming-level plays for your lineup. Here's the rundown: QB ... 1:47 RB ... 19:04 WR ... 27:01 TE ... 36:09 Defense ... 42:40 ​ Check our full  Week...

​ We'll have no Steelers or Ravens on Thanksgiving Day, after the NFL moved that game for COVID concerns. But we'll still have the Texans-Lions and Washington-Dallas. So there are decisions to make at each position and players to fade or ride. Let's get to the picks: QB ... 6:58 RB ... 11:33 WR ... 19:39 TE ... 26:00  Defense ... 30:49 ​Check the  Lineup Generator  for our dollars-per-point projec...

​The Saints surprised fantasy players everywhere with news that shouldn't have been a surprise. Taysom Hill will step in for the injured Drew Brees, a move that matches the contract they gave him in the offseason. His TE designation on FanDuel makes it an even bigger move. Hill becomes basically impossible to  ​not  ​use. Even a bad game for him at QB can rank among the top scores at TE. We still...

It seemed like a fairly normal week until Taysom Hill busted down the door and changed all our plans. Does the $4500 Saints QB become a "must" play on DraftKings? Does the likely high ownership make him a fade for GPPs? If you don't use him, who can you pivot to? And if you do, where do you spend the suddenly bountiful cap space? Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:36 RB ... 9:07 WR ... 15:26 TE ... 21:2...

Can the Cardinals and Seahawks give us the kind of fantasy excitement to kick off this week that they delivered back in Week 7? We have some injury questions to answer before that one starts, as well as some key injury situations to watch at QB around the league. We'll also see whether tougher matchups can knock Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady and their passing games from their perches. And will we fin...

​ A Drew Brees injury, some emergent skill-position talent in Indy and a RB we'd all left for dead help shape the Week 11 waiver planning.

Should we pay up for a top-shelf QB or target Jared Goff in a shootout? What we can be sure of is that a wealth of RB and WR options give us plenty of lineup-building flexibility. Who should you focus on in your planning? Here's the rundown: QB ... 3:46 RB ... 8:53 WR ... 13:26 TE ... 18:28 Flex ... 21:21 Defense ... 23:00 Check out  Kevin's favorite picks for cash games  and  Tyler's top plays fo...

​The pricing on DK this week practically decides who we're playing at RB this week. The salary savings available, though, make it fun to play with the options at WR and QB. And we have a few shootouts that appear to be worth playing with. TE isn't quite so attractive, but that just makes it easier to zero in on some favorites. Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:48 RB ... 9:17 WR ... 18:25 TE ... 27:46 F...

​Some key injury returns look ready to help us at RB and TE, while potential shootouts in Arizona and L.A. just might expand the fantasy options at WR. Where will the points come from beyond that? Let's run through the full schedule.

Injuries have brought forth waiver options at every position, but did Week 9 also flash us some fool's gold? And the approaching fantasy football playoffs mean that we need to consider altering our view. We'll look at some Week 13 bye-week fillers at QB and some favorable season-ending schedules. Check out our  Free Agent Focus , updated  Rest of the Way rankings  and  Free Agent Finder  to help y...

​ Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey is back. But can we play him in the $9K range in his 1st game back? Dalvin Cook looks like a starting point at RB, and we have another guy in the $6K range who should join him in basic lineup builds. What we spend there figures to impact how many of the $7K WRs we can afford, but there might be some extra spending room available at defense. Here's the rundown: QB...

Paying down for Jimmy Garoppolo killed us last week. Can we still pay down for a QB this week? Or should we focus on the QBs in the Seahawks-Bills matchup. An expensive week at WR makes it important for us to find values at RB and elsewhere ... and there are options. Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:37 RB ... 9:04 WR ... 16:54 TE ... 22:34 Flex ... 28:22 Defense ... 31:13 Check out all of  Jared's cas...

​George Kittle might be done for the season. That raises several questions ... especially for TE-premium leagues. San Francisco also presents more RB questions this week (and beyond), as does Thursday night opponent Green Bay. Jonathan Taylor owners have a big decision to make, and there are still stash-level options at multiple positions. Let's get to the rundown: RB ... 1:18 WR ... 19:51 TE ......

Even though the prices jumped vs. last week, this main slate still presents more value options at RB than usual. There are also some attractive pay-down options at QB. So does that make it a week to pay up at WR and TE? And do we have our 1st double-TE week for GPP lineups in a while? Plenty of questions to answer heading into the mean of NFL Week 8. Here's the rundown: QB ... 4:03 RB ... 11:43 WR...

Just like last week, we're missing a number of starting RBs. Bears WR Allen Robinson (concussion) joins Michael Thomas in leaving targets behind. Those situations will factor into our top plays this week. And some developing weather might change our lineups come Sunday. It's a more challenging slate than we found last week, when big points came from everywhere. Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:41 RB ....

Week 8 finds Michael Thomas, Joe Mixon and Aaron Jones likely still out, plus a number of other situations to monitor. We don't know yet who will line up in either backfield with the 49ers visit the Seahawks. We know that concussions will probably take Allen Robinson and Andy Dalton out of their lineups, impacting the outlooks of several teammates apiece. Throw in some weather questions, and it's...

​​We already knew Raheem Mostert wouldn't play in Week 7. But then Joe MIxon got ruled out. And Aaron Jones went down in practice. And Austin Hooper came down with appendicitis. And Emmanuel Sanders landed on the COVID list. It was a goofy week, with ramifications for Week 8 and beyond. Here's who you should be targeting on waivers for Week 8. Check out our  Free Agent Focus , updated  Rest of the...

The late schedule change for this Sunday has left a 1-game difference between the main slates on FanDuel and DraftKings. But we're dealing with the same abundance of options across positions. Let's pick out some favorites at QB and see how we can fit in our favorite RB targets into the lineup. Or will Joe Mixon's injury just force us to play super-cheap Gio Bernard? Check out  Kevin's favorite pic...

An already packed main slate added the Buccaneers and Raiders when the league shifted games because of Las Vegas' COVID situation. But it also kept Seahawks​​-Cardinals despite that game moving to Sunday night. That sets up perhaps the most interesting week of DFS lineup building so far this season. We see a plethora of options at most positions, but where can you find the savings to fit the studs...

​ COVID has made Buccaneers-Raiders and Seahawks-Cardinals switch spots even since we recorded this podcast. That's not the only aspect we'll need to watch through the week, with injuries to some key pass-catchers as well as a top-10 RB. And if you're in need of a QB or TE to stream this week (and perhaps beyond), you might want to listen all the way through this full preview of NFL Week 7. Here's...

​​Miles Sanders goes down. Raheem Mostert goes down. Mark Ingram goes down. What do those injuries plus noteworthy situations at WR and TE mean for your waiver plans in Week 7. ​Check out our  Free Agent Focus , updated  Rest of the Way rankings  and  Free Agent Finder  to help your waiver decisions.   DRAFT SHARKS - YOUR UNFAIR ADVANTAGE Award-winning fantasy football rankings, projections a...

David Montgomery and Ronald Jones highlight a slate of lead backs at low-risk prices ... or are they traps on this Week 6 DFS slate? QB presents a variety of affordable options with upside matchups, while WR carries intrigue at every level. Let's run through some favorites and see what we can build. Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:25 RB ... 5:54 WR ... 10:39 TE ... 14:11 Flex ... 18:01 Defense ... 19...

We don't have the usual expensive, top-shelf studs available at RB this week, so there's room to spend that money elsewhere. We've got high-dollar considerations at WR and TE ... plus a potential stud RB who might less of a sure thing than we're used to at the position. QB decisions start in the $5K range this week, and we've got a minimum-priced pass-catcher who either broke through in Week 5 or...
