Episode 14: Burrow Injury, Steelers not happy, Bucs receivers, week 12 streamers and more...

I can understand both sides of this coin however, and will explain why there really isn't a good answer here.Do the Buccaneers have to much receiving talent, and which ones can you trust?

Episode 13: Drew Brees injury, Josh Allen value, Week 11 streamers
With the news that Saints QB Drew Brees will miss at least two weeks with injuries he sustained in this past weekends game, it may leave a lot of you wondering how his absence will affect the fantasy value of several of his teammates. Don't worry I'm here to help you make sense of it.Josh Allen has grown leaps and bounds from the QB he was just a year ago. There are some who seem to think that this change is just a good run and not something that will last. I completely disagree with this take and will explain why I believe its a bad idea to "sell high" on the Bills young quarterback.Plus streamers for week 11 and a listener question.Want more FFA?

Like the show title says, whether you have running backs on bye, injured, or the Covid list then this is the place to turn.

Episode 6: Teachable moments, Get up/Let down, week 4 preview
Fantasy football is a fun yet sometimes cruel game. I give an example of this, pulled from first hand experience I had with one of my teams this weekend.I go over the players that "Got Up" for week 3, and those that were a "Let Down" as well as pointing out who of these players you can rely on for consistency or lack thereof.Finally I take a look who I'm a bit worried about, and confident in, for week 4.Find me on Twitter @FFA_POD, or @FFA_Chris.

Episode 5: Monday night review, Thursday night preview, and who is safe to start this Sunday?
I'll start off this episode with a look back at this past Mondays game. Who came up big, who forgot to show up, and who can you trust after 2 weeks.At first glance a Dolphins @ Jaguars Thursday night game doesn't seem that exciting, but trust me, from a football standpoint this game will be exciting. From the fantasy side of things however it may lack. I'll look a little deeper and try to help you find some value ahead of game time.Plus who is safe to start this weekend?

Episode 2: Don't panic after a bad week, and don't over value

Episode 2: Don't panic after a bad week, and don't over value
With all but the Monday Night Football doubleheader in the books for week 1 of the 2020 NFL season, the majority of fantasy football players have a pretty good idea of where their teams stand for the week. Regardless of whether you team did great, or stunk up the joint. Its important to not over react. You don't want to make a move now, based on one week, that can cost your team negatively later on in the season. Im going to give you some examples of ways team owners over react, and reasons why you can believe better days are ahead.Have a question or comment on the show?
