Draft Sharks - Fantasy Football Podcast

We'll have to watch the Falcons-Vikings game to make sure it happens this week. But there seem to be plenty of QBs worth playing ahead of Matt Ryan even his game does forward. We also have huge Week 5 performances from Chase Claypool and Travis Fulgham to assess, and the question of what to do with Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Marvin Jones and the Cowboys pass-catchers, after Dak Prescott's injury. Here...

​The expensive QBs and high-end TEs are looking good this week. We're also focused on a small group of RBs. Where can we look for WR upside to round out the lineups? Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:48 RB ... 8:29 WR ... 13:54 TE ... 17:47 Flex ... 21:32 Defense ... 22:26 Check out  Kevin's favorite picks for cash games  and  Tyler's top plays for GPPs . And build your own money-making lineups in the ...

​Kyle Allen's promotion in Washington this week gives us a wider-than-normal QB spectrum. How does that position fit with the rest of our lineup building? Getting Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Aaron Jones off the main slate cuts the number of high-priced options at RB, which might leave room elsewhere. You don't necessarily need to look up top at WR to find target certainty. And the...

​ The Titans' COVID situation sure looks like it's threatening this week's game against the Bills. We've got our 1st scheduled bye week, with the Lions and Packers down. We've got a potential breakthrough spot for Giants QB Daniel Jones -- or do we? -- against the 1st bad pass defense he will have faced this season. We've got disagreement on where to slot Eagles TE Zach Ertz for the week. And we'r...

​Had you ever heard of D'Ernest Johnson before he ran for 95 yards on the Cowboys last Sunday? Either way, he's certainly more prominent now than he was a week ago. But that doesn't mean Adam and Matt agree on how to treat him with waiver bids this week. Johnson isn't even the 1st RB we'll discuss, though, and there's a sizable list of wideouts to sort. Here's the rundown: FFPC weekend ... 3:26 RB...

​Has Russell Wilson finally priced himself out of cash-game use? And is it time to pay down at QB in general? The RB talk starts at Alvin Kamara this week, but there are a wealth of options beyond that for the RB slots and flex use. WR presents a spectrum of options, including a couple of attractive targets in the low $5K salary​ range. And even TE presents enough options for varied approaches her...

Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and other top-dollar QBs have driven a lot of high-scoring lineups to date. But are there some cheaper options to draw our attention away as the salaries keep climbing on those passers? Alvin Kamara draws primary focus at RB, but how do we build around him? And will he be so highly owned that he's a GPP fade? WR presents plenty of options, including a pair of favorites i...

No Steelers-Titans this week, but we still have 15 other games playing out. There are a lot of teams projected for a lot of points, which means a loaded week at QB. We have some sorting to do at WR and TE and some tough matchups to beware of. Here's the rundown: Denver Broncos at New York Jets ... 1:12 Indianapolis Colts at Chicago Bears ... 4:53 Los Angeles Chargers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... 7:...

​ There's no Mike Davis or Giants RB to control your league's waiver bidding this week, so the options are a bit more subtle. But we did have a flashy performance by the backup to one early-round RB plus a couple of young WRs who found the end zone twice apiece. This won't be the week to blow your budget on waivers. But there are options for immediate use ... or long-term upside. ​Check out our  W...

​It's Cowboys-Seahawks week. So Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson and all of their WRs will factor heavily into what we're doing on FanDuel this week. But the value options at RB make for some interesting decisions that could separate your lineup. We're looking at a few proven fantasy studs with single-digit ownership projections in particular. Also ... is it breakout week for DeSean Jackson? Here's th...

​​Cowboys-Seahawks looks like the center of the Week 3 main slate, and we'll be talking about plenty of DFS lineup options from that contest. But we're also looking at several other high-priced QBs -- along with some at lower costs, if you're seeking a different build. We've got groups of underpriced RBs to go with them and some low-salary WR targets. Here's the rundown: QB ... 3:49 RB ... 11:27 W...

Injuries were the story for Week 2. Now the stories are the replacements for the guys we lost. That includes this week's waiver pickups ... or maybe players who were already on your bench. Let's go through the NFL Week 3 slate game by game and talk who to start, who to sit ... and who to keep your distance from. Check our full  Week 3 rankings , and stay up to date on injuries and news via  Shark...

​ Saquon Barkley's done for the year. Christian McCaffrey will be out a while. So we'll all be bidding on their replacements. Which targets will offer you the most help this week? Which could prove to be land mines? And who could you stash to get ahead of future waiver wire runs? Let's break it down. ​Check out our full  Week 3 Free Agent Focus  as well as our  Week 3 fantasy football rankings . &...

​Dak Prescott and the Cowboys look tough to avoid in the main slate on DK this week. An abundance of affordable options at WR and RB can help you pay up more than you might usually at QB. That includes several attractive plays in the $5K range at RB. And, just how low can we go at TE to find playable options for Week 2? Here's the rundown: QB ... 5:06 RB ... 10:41 WR ... 19:03 TE ... 24:53 Flex .....

You'll find plenty of value options at RB and WR this week -- even TE. So paying up a little at QB makes sense, especially for this week's marquee fantasy matchup. You just might be able to fit an expensive QB  ​and  3 upper-level RBs into your lineup. We've got some tips on how to do so. Here's the rundown: QB ... 4:43 RB ... 10:32 WR ... 15:38 TE ... 20:15 Flex ... 24:59 Defense ... 25:33 Check...

​ No Jared today but Matt's pressing on to preview Week 2. We'll run through some key injury situations, including Chris Godwin, Michael Thomas, George Kittle, Kenny Golladay and several other WR corps. We'll also try to sort out some confounding backfields, look at some potential TE fill-ins and answer some start-sit questions. Here's the rundown: Injuries to watch ... 1:20 Backfield sorting ......

Malcolm Brown turned heads. Benny Snell took advantage of his opportunity. Russell Gage grabbed fantasy attention. And Michael Thomas' injury was just 1 of several that brought waiver-wire options to light. The Week 1 games perennially give us a host of top performers who could break out and win you a championship or fizzle and just break your free-agent budget. Let's try to sort out this week's t...

Even without Mike Evans, there should be plenty of fantasy intrigue to the Buccaneers-Saints opener. The matchup between the renovated Panthers and the Raiders looks like a potentially sneaky source of offense. And our new DFS guru Tyler Siracuse sees plenty of value in the Falcons-Seahawks matchup. We'll dig into those and other options for your Week 1 FanDuel lineups. Here's the rundown: Key dif...

We're kicking off the DK podcast for 2020, and we've got a new voice! Tyler Siracuse is a big-money player and proven winner in the DFS space. You can find his GPP picks on the site all year, and he'll join Jared and Matt for the weekly podcast. The opening week finds fantasy values in Cincinnati, Carolina, Jacksonville and a few other places ... Here's the rundown: Tyler's background ... 1:27 Ove...

Injury questions face Mike Evans and Kenny Golladay. RB questions emanate from the Jacksonville and Washington offenses. Do we fear the 2019 home-road splits for Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper? Do we roll with Aaron Rodgers out of the gate in a place that has been unkind? And where might you find sneaky offensive upside in Week 1? We've got real games for the first time in months, so let's break 'e...

​Adam is picking 6th in this FFPC main-event draft, and we're riding shotgun for all the picks, snipes and strategy. How does he react to RBs getting pushed up the board? When is the time to target TEs in this TE-premium format? When should we attack QB -- and what's the plan for drafting a 2nd? We're going through all 20 rounds in search of both production, value and upside. Here's the full draft...

​How does the Alvin Kamara news affect your Round 1 decisions? Where should you target Tampa Bay or Jacksonville RBs after ​the Leonard Fournette move? And what's the plan at each position? We're addressing each of those areas and much more to get you ready for a big draft weekend. Here's the rundown: Alvin Kamara and the middle of Round 1 ... 2:04 Buccaneers RBs ... 6:24 Jaguars RBs ... 12:04 Was...

​A fantasy football auction adds layers of strategy on top of your average draft. We already posted our annual  Auction Strategy Guide . For this show, though, we imported a couple of auction veterans as guests. Drew Davenport provides auction content for Footballguys and his YouTube channel,  The Auction Brief . Dr. Jeff Budoff contributes injury analysis at Rotoviz and also did a 2-part auction-...

​We might not get any preseason games, but we're getting plenty of reports out of camp. Injuries, comebacks and rookie buzz are altering ADPs as we enter the thick of fantasy football draft season. We're looking into pertinent reports on Dalvin Cook and Todd Gurley; injuries for David Montgomery, Brandon Aiyuk and Kenyan Drake; and where to draft some of the summer's hottest players. Here's the ru...

​ Dr. Jesse Morse  works with injured athletes all the team, so he can give us valuable insight into things such as how Saquon Barkley's high-ankle sprain affected him even after he returned last season. Or why we shouldn't worry about Ben Roethlisberger's throwing elbow. We sat down with Dr. Morse -- who will also deliver insight throughout the season on this podcast and on  Sports Injury Predict...
