Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast

Matt Harmon and the rest of the Yahoo Sports’ world-class fantasy experts (Andy Behrens, Scott Pianowski & Dalton Del Don) dish out top-notch fantasy advice (and whatever else they feel like talking about) on America’s top fantasy football platform. Whether they're discussing waiver wire pickups, smoked meats, sleeper tight ends, the worst kind of pizza or the benefits of mobile QBs over pocket passers, you'll learn how to have the best taste as a fantasy manager & as a person.

Conference Championship Recap: Chiefs & Eagles win with defense

Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab break down both the AFC and NFC Championship games from over the weekend, talking about Brock Purdy’s injury in the 49ers loss and Patrick Mahomes playing through a high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to victory.

The guys start by talking about the Philadelphia Eagles, who cruised to another easy win after their outstanding pass rush knocked both Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson out of the game, leaving the San Francisco 49ers without any options at QB.

What are the Eagles’ offseason plans at RB? And is Brock Purdy a shoe-in to be the 49ers starting QB next season or could Tom Brady join this franchise?

After that discussion, the guys talk about the officiating that ended the Cincinnati Bengals’ hopes against the Kansas City Chiefs and marvel at just how good Patrick Mahomes is.

Finally, Scott and Frank give their very early Super Bowl picks against the spread and explain why they’re picking the teams they are.

Conference Championship Preview: Burrow flying under the radar & Purdy’s biggest test yet

Matt Harmon is joined by his Fantasy Football Live co-hosts Andy Behrens and Tank Williams to preview both the AFC and NFC Championship games this weekend.

First, the guys tackle a bit of news. They talk about the Carolina Panthers hiring Frank Reich to be their head coach and whether or not it will pull Matt back into being a Panthers fan.

They they discuss the New York Jets hiring former Broncos head coach Nathanial Hackett to be their offensive coordinator and debate if it’s simply a move to recruit Aaron Rodgers to New York.

Finally, they get to the games. First up is 49ers at Eagles, a matchup of arguably the two best defenses and two of the best offenses in the NFL this season. This is the biggest test of rookie QB Brock Purdy, on the road against a great defense in the playoffs, and they’re all eager to see how he does.

The guys finish off the episode by talking about Bengals at Chiefs, a surprisingly even matchup that centers around the health of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Don’t count out the defending AFC Champion Bengals, though, and star QB Joe Burrow.


02:00 Panthers hire Frank Reich to be their new head coach

10:00 Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett to be their new OC

Divisional Round Recap: Mahomes on one leg, the Eagles are loaded & Dak’s performance was unacceptable

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens recap the first 3 games of the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round, but not before having a debate over whether it is still considered the best weekend for football each year.

They start off by talking about Patrick Mahomes, who fought his way through a high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. There’s a bigger challenge waiting for him in the Bengals next week, but maybe he just needed a good night of sleep?

Andy and Matt agree that Jaguars fans should be happy with their team’s season and excited for what the next few years holds with this young, talented group.

The Eagles absolutely overwhelmed the Giants, as many probably expected, but the Giants had a good season and now have some decisions to make about Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.

Joe Burrow and the (underrated) Cincinnati Bengals played a near perfect game in the snow of Buffalo, while Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs struggled to carry the rest of the Bills further in the playoffs.

Finally, Dalton Del Don takes Andy’s spot to give us a boots on the ground report from the 49ers’ win over the Dallas Cowboys.


04:00 Chiefs 27, Jaguars 20

17:55 Eagles 38, Giants 7

30:05 Bengals 27, Bills 10

Divisional Round Preview: Cowboys are underrated, Jags look like the 2021 Bengals & America’s teaser picks

Matt Harmon, Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab go over all four of the NFL playoff games coming up this weekend and preview each one in great detail, including where they would put their own money if they were betting on them.

Frank is reminded of the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals that went to the Super Bowl when he looks at the 2022 Jacksonville Jaguars, and he wouldn’t be surprised to see an upset in Kansas City.

Scott is worried about Jalen Hurts, who hasn’t played a great game in about a month, and wonders if the Giants can find a way to slow that Eagles offense down.

Matt is begging Josh Allen to calm down and stop making stupid mistakes. He could get away with it against the Dolphins, but it’ll be a very different challenge against the defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals.

Finally, the guys agree that the Dallas Cowboys are underrated and could win the Super Bowl this year. They face what might be their toughest challenge this week, in San Francisco against the 49ers.


02:55 Jaguars at Chiefs

20:55 Giants at Eagles

35:00 Bengals at Bills

50:15 Cowboys at 49ers

Wild Card Recap: The end of Brady in TB, historic Charger-ing & Daniel Jones sinks the Vikings

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens recap all six of the games from a wildly entertaining NFL Wild Card weekend and look ahead to the offseason plans for the teams that were eliminated.

Dak Prescott and Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore really shined on Monday night, effectively ending Tom Brady’s time with the Buccaneers. He likely won’t find a home with the 49ers, who continue to get impressive performances from rookie QB Brock Purdy and an offense filled with playmakers.

The Chargers blew a 27-0 lead to lose to the Jaguars, and it’s mostly the fault of their run game that has struggled all season. The Bills put up a terrible performance against the Dolphins, who fought against the play clock just as much as they battled against the Bills.

In “The Fraud Bowl”, the Vikings lived up to (bad) expectations but the Giants (and QB Daniel Jones) might have something special brewing. If nothing else, they’ve built an ecosystem that free agents will be eager to join this offseason.

Finally, the Bengals squeaked by Tyler Huntley and the Ravens, who have to figure out what’s going on with Lamar Jackson and then figure out their offensive identity going forward.


01:50 Cowboys 31, Buccaneers 14

12:05 49ers 41, Seahawks 23

24:25 Jaguars 31, Chargers 30

38:20 Bills 34, Dolphins 31

Wild Card Preview: The Fraud Bowl, Brock Purdy as a young Tom Brady & great surfer hair

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab to preview all six of this weekend’s NFL playoff games for Wild Card weekend in great detail.

The guys tackle the games in order, starting with the Seahawks-49ers game and a conversation about rookie QB Brock Purdy (with lots of comparisons to 2001 Tom Brady). The group is split on who will be the winner of Chargers-Jaguars, but they might be aligned when it comes to which QB has the better head of hair.

The Dolphins have no hope against the Bills, so the preview of that game inevitably leads to talk about Justin Fields’ sack rate. The Giants-Vikings game is referred to as “The Fraud Bowl” because nobody believes in either team, although Daniel Jones is awesome and K.J. Osborn might have some interesting props this weekend.

The Ravens can barely field an offense but their defense should be enough to make the first half against the Bengals interesting. Meanwhile, which version of Dak Prescott will show up in Tampa on Monday night?


01:40 Seahawks at 49ers

18:20 Chargers at Jaguars

33:20 Dolphins at Bills

44:55 Giants at Vikings

57:15 Ravens at Bengals

67:20 Cowboys at Buccaneers

Ekeler’s Edge: Recapping the 2022 season & Chargers/Jaguars playoff preview

Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is back with Matt Harmon for the final episode of Ekeler’s Edge of the season. Together, the guys look back at the amazing year Austin had as fantasy football’s RB1 before looking ahead to the Chargers’ playoff game against the Jaguars this weekend.

The show kicks off with some positive news on Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin before recapping the season that was for Austin. As per usual, he’s already put his great performance behind him and is wondering how high he’s going to go in fantasy drafts next year.

The guys also talk about the slow start to the season that Austin had, which is where he was when the Chargers faced the Jaguars in week 3 of this season. Things are quite a bit different now for both the Chargers and Jaguars, but Austin explains that there is still a lot to learn from their early-season matchup that can be used on Saturday.

One more time, the guys play a round of ‘Fantasy Toss-Up’, this time including DFS prices to help fantasy players determine which guy to take when building their lineups for Wild Card weekend.

Finally, we end the show with the final installment of the Ask Austin mailbag. Find out the difference between DI and DII college football budgets (and transportation), Austin’s thoughts on NFL expansion, and his takeaway from Coach Staley leaving in the starters during the week 18 loss to the team’s Broncos.

Week 18 Recap: Cardinals fire Kingsbury, Lions bury the Packers, Seahawks & Jaguars are playoff-bound

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to recap all of the craziness from week 18, which featured a lot of teams resting their starters or with nothing to play for. That didn’t stop the Detroit Lions, though, who played for pride and kept the Green Bay Packers out of the playoffs.

The guys talk through all of the games, paying special attention to the teams that missed out on the playoffs and what questions they will face in the offseason. The Arizona Cardinals kicked off their offseason by opening up their head coach and GM positions, leading Matt and Dalton to wonder who would want that job.

After marveling at the one-year turnaround of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Matt and Dalton also marvel at what Pete Carroll and Geno Smith were able to do wtih the Seattle Seahawks in the post-Russ era. Also, what would a Sean McVay-led rebuild look like for the Rams?

Love Smith gave the Texans two middle fingers on his way out the door and we loved it, the Panthers players did everything they could to win Steve Walks a job, a Ronald Jones sighting, a Kenny Golladay TD, and singing Happy Birthday to George Kittle’s grandmother are all included on this very fun episode!

Week 18 Fantasy Preview: Who will play and who will rest?

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don and former NFL safety Tank Williams to preview all of the NFL games from week 18 with an eye towards betting and DFS.

Obviously, the health of Damar Hamlin and the mental health of all NFL players and coaches hangs over this final week of football, and the guys take time to discuss some positive updates and some stories from Tank’s playing career that provide a bit more context about what comes next.

However, with playoff berths on the line, eventually the focus switches to the games and the motivations of each team heading into them. There are some teams that will use this week to rest their starters (Bucs, Giants, Chargers), some that need a win to play again next week (Packers, Jaguars, Titans), and others that are just looking to protect their seeding or potentially move up.

It’s a difficult week to navigate, but the guys have you covered with plenty of suggestions and opinions that you can follow or fade as you prepare for the football weekend.

Week 17 Recap: Mike Evans is back, Cam Akers is fixed & Davante Adams is QB-proof

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens to recap week 17 in the NFL, also typically known as fantasy football championship week. The guys discuss some big performances, a few duds, and look ahead for a couple of teams who are already out of playoff contention.

We kick the show off with a recap of the very fun “backup QB bowl” between Jarrett Stidham (and the Raiders) and Brock Purdy (and the 49ers), but very quickly work our way towards the outstanding offensive performances by Tom Brady, Mike Evans and the rest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers…who are a team nobody wants to play in the playoffs.

Noted Bears fan Andy implores the team to protect Justin Fields at all costs before the guys try and figure out what to make of the current four-game winning streak from the Green Bay Packers.

The Dolphins season looks like it’s slipping away due to Tua’s concussion issues, Damien Harris ate into most of Rhamondre Stevenson’s fantasy value, we still don’t trust anyone on the Chiefs besides Mahomes & Kelce, and the Jaguars didn’t have to play hard (or for very long) to put away the Texans.

This is a fun episode as the guys go through all of the games played on Sunday, including another 2-TD performance by our guy Austin Ekeler!

Week 17 Fantasy Preview: Championship week is a disaster!

Matt Harmon is joined by Marvin Elequin and Dalton Del Don to preview all of the week 17 NFL games from a fantasy angle during championship week (in most fantasy football leagues).

Unfortunately, for the teams that are still alive in fantasy, this week is a mess. Or a disaster. However you want to describe it, it’s probably bad for the players on your team.

Many teams have no motivation to win this week, so there are plenty of questions about who will play and for how long. Will Christian McCaffrey play past halftime? What about Travis Etienne and Trevor Lawrence? Will Austin Ekeler play or rest?

The guys do their best to sort it all out, and end up talking quite a bit about Stefon Diggs’ diet, rooting against Tom Brady, curses upon George Kittle, and combining Greg Dortch and Rondale Moore into a single player.

Stat Nerd Thursday: Raiders bench Carr, Lamb makes the leap & Lions/Bears shootout coming

Matt Harmon is joined by fellow stat nerd Dalton Del Don for another episode of Stat Nerd Thursday. Together, the guys come up with one stat for all 32 teams and also preview the Thursday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans.

The guys talk a lot about this weekend’s game between the Bears and Lions in Detroit, and what a great setup that is for fantasy players in championship weekend. They also talk a bit about Russell Wilson losing his athleticism seemingly overnight and if he can be fixed with a new Broncos coach.

Cam Akers and D’Onta Foreman both showed last week that an Achilles injury is not a career-ender for running backs anymore, but how much can we believe in them this week? Also, how dark will things get for the Raiders against the 49ers now that they’ve benched Derek Carr in favor of Jarrett Stidham?

Dalton has one, and only one, reason for maybe not starting Trevor Lawrence this week. Matt wants to see what the Dolphins offense looks like with Teddy Bridgewater in place of Tua, who is back in the concussion protocol. Neither guy can figure out which Chiefs RB to play. This is a must-listen podcast if you’re trying to set your lineup to win the league this week.

Ekeler’s Edge: J.J. Watt announces retirement, Chargers clinch playoff berth & more ‘Fantasy This-or-That’

Fresh off a win over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football, Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler sits down with Matt Harmon to talk about returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2018 and discusses the news of J.J. Watt retiring at the end of this season.

The guys also do another round of “Fantasy This-or-That” where they debate two players that are similarly ranked for the upcoming week and tell managers in the fantasy championship which one they would recommend starting.

We close out the show by catching up on the Ask Austin mailbag, where the guys talk about Austin’s first time in the Wildcat, what goes into benching a player for a mistake and whether Austin being an NFL player helps him in fantasy football.

Week 16 Recap: Broncos fire Hackett, Eagles remain fantasy’s best team, Tua & Brady look bad

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap all of the NFL games that happened on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in week 16 of the NFL season, an important week for fantasy football matchups.

The guys kick off the podcast with breaking news that the Denver Broncos have fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett before recapping Denver’s ugly loss to the Rams on Sunday. They also dive into the other Sunday games, including another bad outing from Tua and Tom Brady looking a lot like 2011 Tim Tebow.

While talking through the Saturday games, Matt marvels at the WR clinic put on by DeVonta Smith and CeeDee Lamb while Scott gives credit to Daniel Jones for having a very under-the-radar season despite playing well for the Giants.

Steve Walks might be earning the head coaching job in Carolina, and Matt and Scott are both rooting for the Panthers to win the NFC South and make it to the playoffs. Also, wasn’t it fun to see the Buffalo Bills win with their running game for once?

When we get to some of the less interesting games, Matt and Scott call in some Christmas favors and skip talking about them. You’ll know which ones.

Week 16 Fantasy Preview: Bad weather, backup QBs & star WRs

Matt Harmon is joined by both Dalton Del Don and Scott Pianowski to preview all of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday NFL games happening in week 16 with an eye towards fantasy football.

Many of the games talked about will have freezing temperatures, snow and strong gusts of wind that could play big roles in passing games around the country. The guys talk about that and also about Californians inability to deal with weather of any sort.

Matt struggles to figure out which TE he’ll start on his own fantasy teams while Dalton talks up Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and D.J. Moore. Meanwhile, Scott can’t figure out what to do with K.J. Osborn and would take almost any rushing yardage prop bet for Derrick Henry against the Texans this week.

Scott also explains the PBI (Pianow Backup Index) and uses it throughout the podcast to explain the offensive impact of each team that is starting a backup QB in week 16.

Stat Nerd Thursday: New starting QBs for Cardinals, Colts & Eagles could mess up the fantasy playoffs

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to provide one stat for all 32 NFL teams, and along the way the guys end up talking about games on Christmas Day, the running back market in free agency this offseason and the ranking of QBs if you were building a franchise right now.

Unlike most weeks, when the guys start with the best teams in the league and work down to the worst, they go from worst to first this week and uncover a few fantasy gems on the league’s worst teams along the way.

Find out which Broncos RB might just win your fantasy football playoff game this week, why a new QB in Indianapolis probably doesn’t boost the fantasy value of Michael Pittman, and which run defense has been on fire for the last month (the answer will surprise you!).

Matt and Dalton also check in on their Mike Evans vs. Gabe Davis bet, and conclude that they were both wrong and should’ve trusted their guts in the preseason instead of digging into the numbers.

Finally, the guys preview a very important (for playoff reasons) Thursday night game between the Jaguars and Jets and explain why it may not be a good game for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is back with Matt Harmon for another great episode of Ekeler’s Edge. This week, the guys talk about the Pro Bowl campaign video the Chargers’ social media team put out and play a game of “this or that” as a fantasy debate before welcoming former Chargers TE Antonio Gates to the show.

The guys also discuss, with each other and then later with Antonio Gates, the Chargers moving into playoff position and what they need to do to finish the job and get into the postseason.

Week 16 Pickups: Injury updates, Dotson on fire & waiver wire etiquette

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens to break down the news coming out of Week 15 in the NFL before diving into what is left on waiver wires, but not before laying out some crucial waiver wire etiquette.

First, the guys discuss the disappointing news coming out regarding Jonathan Taylor’s high ankle sprain and what a blow that is for fantasy teams. Then the guys spend time talking about Trevor Lawrence, who is ascending to one of the highest tiers of fantasy QBs right now.

After a brief lesson on waiver wire etiquette, Andy explains why you should be adding Tyler Allgeier or Jahan Dotson to your team (especially if you’re still alive in the playoffs). Also, which “cheat code” QB/TE hybrid is the right answer this week?

Finally, Matt and Andy tell you who to drop, who to hold on to, and give an update on Matt’s mom’s fantasy league.

Week 15 Recap: McKinnon is the answer in KC, Trevor Lawrence is making a leap & takeaways from Saturday

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap the Sunday NFL action, which included a lot of exciting finishes but not a lot of big fantasy football performances, and talk about their takeaways from the Saturday games, as well.

The guys kick off the show by talking about last week’s RB1, who might also end up this week’s RB1, Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon. They also talk about the Jeff Driskel positional eligibility discourse.

After that, they break down a few games that didn’t help us a lot in fantasy before diving into another great Trevor Lawrence game, this time against the Dallas Cowboys, and talk about where he’ll likely rank next season amongst fantasy QBs.

Matt and Scott really only talk about the NFC South teams because they have to. It’s that time of the year and they’re over watching bad teams, and the entire NFC South is bad.

Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields, who played against each other this week, should both run less than they are now to lower their chances for injury. Diontae Johnson, on the other hand, should catch more passes but not go in the end zone…for history’s sake.

Finally, the guys talk about what they liked or didn’t like from Saturday’s games including a new #2 WR in Minnesota, a new offensive gameplay from the Dolphins, and maybe a new relevant fantasy RB.

Week 15 Fantasy Preview: Bad week for QBs, Jeff Driskel as the new Taysom Hill & a big week for Ekeler

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski to preview all of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday NFL games happening in Week 15 to help you win your fantasy football playoff matchup.

Can you trust Dallas Goedert this week? Is Miles Sanders a terrible fantasy football analyst? What can we expect from Desmond Ridder (and will he help Drake London)? Lots of questions are answered in this very fun episode.

Andy makes the pitch that Texans QB/TE Jeff Driskel might be the new Taysom Hill (at least for fantasy) and Scott implores you, the listener, to start Zonovan Knight against the Lions this week.

Nobody is thrilled with Travis Etienne’s fantasy value since the Jaguars, for some reason, never seem to throw him the ball and Austin Ekeler is set up for a big game through the air against the Titans.

Tom Brady’s issues in Tampa Bay are diagnosed (it’s the offensive line’s fault) but they won’t be fixed against a very good Bengals team that is getting healthy at the right time. Also, we’re excited about the Colts WRs against a bad Vikings defense but can we trust Matt Ryan’s arm?

Sit down and get comfortable, these guys are handing out loads of fantasy football insight and advice that you’ll want to have in your back pocket while setting your lineups this week.

Stat Nerd Thursday: Kittle needs more targets, Chubb & Saquon are slowing down

Matt Harmon is joined by guest co-host Rich Hribar for a very special episode of Stat Nerd Thursday, where the guys provide one stat for all 32 teams and preview the Thursday night game between the 49ers and Seahawks.

Find out why it’s pointless to complain about the Cowboys’ backfield committee, how high is too high for Isiah Pacheco, what killed the Ravens offense, and what is Ja’Marr Chase’s role if Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins miss this week’s game.

Can you start Tua in fantasy this week? Can you start Saquon Barkley? We know Terry McLaurin is efficient but do the Commanders pass enough for him to be fantasy relevant? Is any offense worse than the Denver Broncos?

Matt and Rich implore people to stop fighting about Jared Goff, realize they we should’ve predicted the Buccaneers offense would be mediocre, and wonder what to make of Drake London with a new starting QB in Atlanta.

All of this and much more in a fun episode of Stat Nerd Thursday!

Ekeler’s Edge: The Chargers’ offensive identity, rest vs. rust & A.J. Brown on joining the Eagles

Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is joined by Matt Harmon in another fast-paced episode of Ekeler’s Edge. This week, the guys talk about the team’s win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night and chat with Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown.

While talking about the great performance by the Chargers defense and Justin Herbert, Austin blames Los Angeles’ offensive identity as a pass-first team for putting him on pace to break the record for the most receptions by a RB in NFL history.

The guys then open up the mailbag and debate rest vs. rust for teams that clinch an early playoff spot and discuss what “limited practice” means for guys dealing with injuries.

They close out the show with Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown, who talks about getting a lot more attention on a big market team and how underrated Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith are.

Week 15 Pickups: Injury updates, Mariota benched for Ridder & Herbert shines vs. Tua

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens break down Monday’s news coming out of week 14 of the NFL schedule before diving into some waiver wire recommendations for teams that need help in week 15

Deebo Samuel’s ankle is probably bad enough that you should drop him, even though Brock Purdy has the 49ers’ offense cruising.

The Atlanta Falcons put Marcus Mariota on IR, clearing the path for rookie QB Desmond Ridder. At the same time, the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are hoping for big games from their respective QBs (Mike White & Tua Tagovailoa).

Speaking of Tua, he was terrible in the Dolphins’ loss on Sunday night football to a Los Angeles Chargers team that might be getting healthy at exactly the right time.

The guys cover the breaking news of the Dallas Cowboys signing WR T.Y. Hilton before diving into their recommendations for who to grab on your waiver wire and who you should consider dropping from your active roster.

Week 14 Recap: Lions deep at WR, Saquon struggles again & Purdy stars in 1st start

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski talk their way through all 10 of the NFL games that were played during the day on Sunday in Week 14, a week that included a ton of injuries and backup QBs and some bounce back fantasy performances from some unheralded QBs.

D’Andre Swift went back to his normal usage but the Detroit Lions’ offense is fun because of how deep their WR room is and how good Jared Goff is playing.

Trevor Lawrence showed exactly why he was the #1 overall pick with a virtuoso performance against the Titans, although it paled in comparison to what Jalen Hurts did against the New York Giants (and what Jalen Hurts seemingly does every week).

Josh Allen put his body on the line to get a win against the New York Jets, but it raised the question if there are any good fantasy players on the Buffalo Bills besides Allen and Stefon Diggs.

Deshaun Watson played terribly again, as did the Dallas Cowboys (who should’ve lost to the Houston Texans), and Patrick Mahomes played with his food until Russell Wilson rallied the Denver Broncos back before leaving with a scary head injury.

Brock Purdy showed that just about any QB can be good in the San Francisco 49ers offense, the Carolina Panthers showed that they can beat almost anybody, and J.K. Dobbins looked good in a very ugly game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Week 14 Fantasy Preview: Derrick Henry health questions, Brock Purdy debate & the return of MANdrews

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don to preview all of the week 14 games in the NFL with an eye towards fantasy football.

They kick off the show with an appreciation of Jalen Hurts, who has been so good this season that he and Patrick Mahomes might screw up the Offensive Player of the Year award, and slightly less appreciation for Daniel Jones.

The Jets upset the Bills with Zach Wilson as their QB, so why are the Bills so heavily favored this week? The guys explain why, and talk about Zonovan Knight’s role in the New York offense before switching their attention to the Detroit Lions and D’Andre Swift’s health.

Derrick Henry’s health is one of fantasy football’s most important questions right now. Are the Titans hiding an injury? Also, is there any reason to expect Deshaun Watson will be less terrible this week against a good Bengals defense?

What can we expect from the Cowboys playmakers if we think their game against the Texans will be over by halftime? Who will split the 1 TD the Broncos are going to score against the Chiefs? Can we count on anyone with the Chiefs besides Mahomes and Kelce?

Andy and Dalton have a hilarious debate about 49ers rookie and new starting QB Brock Purdy before talking about just how good Geno Smith has been this season. Also, Tyler Huntley taking over as the Ravens QB should mean good things for Mark Andrews.

Find out what to expect from the Dolphins RBs in “The Acho Bowl” and why Kyler Murray seems so unhappy in Arizona in this very fun episode!

Stat Nerd Thursday: Tom Brady isn’t washed, Derrick Henry’s wearing down & Brock Purdy’s big opportunity

It’s Stat Nerd Thursday! That means that Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to provide you with one stat for all 32 NFL teams that will make you a smarter fantasy football manager.

Find out how Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown have brought out the best in each other, if James Cook is taking over the backfield for the Buffalo Bills, and why Lamar Jackson’s injury is good news for Mark Andrews’ fantasy value.

The guys also talk about Brock Purdy’s opportunity as the starting QB for the San Francisco 49ers, wonder if Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry are wearing down, and discuss Rhamondre Stevenson’s “Kamara-like” usage with the New England Patriots…but not before explaining why Tom Brady isn’t washed up.

Finally, the guys preview the Thursday night matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams and marvel at the season that Davante Adams is having without Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball.

Ekeler’s Edge: Moving past the Raiders game, Herbert’s growth & CeeDee Lamb stops by

Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler and Matt Harmon are back for another great episode of Ekeler’s Edge. In this one, Austin talks about the mistakes he made in the team’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and trying to overcome that disappointment to focus on the next game.

We open up Austin’s fantasy rosters to see how his teams are doing and which players helped or hurt him this season, which leads to a conversation about 2023 draft strategy and if fantasy managers should be taking QBs and TEs in the first round.

In the Ask Austin mailbag, Ekeler talks about why running backs aren’t paid as much as other positions and discusses where his motivation comes from (and why it’s good to not have a goal or direction).

Finally, Matt chats with Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb about his own fantasy team (and when his brother drafted him before CeeDee has the chance) and if he wants Odell Beckham Jr. to join the potent Cowboys offense.

Week 14 Pickups: Late bye weeks, lots of injuries & Cowboys/Colts recap

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens get together to go through all of the news around the NFL following week 13, including the Carolina Panthers waiving QB Baker Mayfield and an injury that will keep Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson out for a while.

After getting through the news, the guys recap an impressive blowout win by the Dallas Cowboys over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football and talk about how good (and underrated) WR CeeDee Lamb is. They also discuss Michael Gallup, who looks great now that he’s healthy and might make it pointless for the team to sign Odell Beckham Jr.

The list of guys available on the waiver wire for week 14 is not quite as bad as it has been in the last few weeks, so the guys go over an exciting list that includes James Cook, Nico Collins and Jared Goff. They also take a break to talk about how great Garrett Wilson is.

Finally, they give their recommended drops and “Hold on loosely” candidates before providing a quick update on the Treviso Babes league.

Week 13 Recap: Jimmy G out for the season, Davante Adams’ dream role & the value of rookie WRs

Following a wild afternoon of games, Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski get together to recap all of the biggest fantasy performances from week 13 in the NFL.

The guys kick off the show with a recap of the San Francisco 49ers’ win over the Miami Dolphins, which saw Jimmy Garoppolo go down with a broken foot that will leave San Francisco with their third starting QB of the season.

After that, the guys discuss the Cincinnati Bengals’ riveting win over the Kansas City Chiefs, including the frustration with trying to pick a Chiefs WR to bet on in fantasy football.

Does anyone offer two better fantasy players, and roles, than the Las Vegas Raiders with Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams? Almost definitely not, and the guys talk about what is wrong with the Los Angeles Chargers offense and whether it can be fixed in time for them to make the playoffs.

The Minnesota Vikings, a bad team with a good record, held off the New York Jets but offered very little in terms of fantasy value. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Detroit Lions got Amon-Ra St. Brown into the end zone twice and brought D’Andre Swift’s fantasy value back to life.

There’s lots of WR talk, as per usual, including A.J. Brown’s revenge game against the Titans, Christian Watson squarely in Aaron Rodgers’ circle of trust, and the best WR tandem in the league in Seattle.

Week 13 Fantasy Preview: Dak is playing his best football, Tua faces a big test & D’Andre Swift’s role isn’t changing

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab to preview all of the Sunday and Monday NFL games coming up in week 13, with an eye towards fantasy football and maybe a few betting tips as well.

The guys start by talking about how injuries to Elijah Mitchell and Christian McCaffrey could end up being good news for Deebo Samuel managers before wondering if the Kansas City Chiefs running game will be able to get off the ground against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Los Angeles Chargers won’t be able to stop Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, if Jacobs plays at all, but that situation is a lot clearer than whatever is happening in the Detroit Lions’ backfield with D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

There are signs of weakness in the run defense of the 10-1 Philadelphia Eagles, who face Derrick Henry this week, and we probably won’t know if Justin Fields is going to play before Sunday.

Find out what to expect from Deshaun Watson against the Texans in his return to the NFL, and who should’ve been the offensive rookie of the year this year (but isn’t going to be).

Finally, the guys wonder if the Dallas Cowboys are the Super Bowl contender than nobody is talking about and discuss why the New Orleans Saints seem tied to Andy Dalton even though James Winston seems ready to play.

Stat Nerd Thursday: Michael Gallup heating up, Deebo’s usage, Hollywood Brown is back & BUF/NE preview

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don go through all 32 NFL teams and provide one interesting stat for each one of them in an effort to make you, the listener, a smarter fantasy football player.

Find out why Isiah Pacheco might have a tough time against the Bengals this week, why Michael Gallup is poised for a big week with the Cowboys, and how Mark Andrews is “the Diontae Johnson of tight ends.”

The guys also talk about how Ja’Marr Chase’s return could change the Bengals’ offense, what Mike White at QB means for the Jets’ WRs, and why Deebo’s 2021 usage is never going to happen again.

There’s plenty of talk about young WRs in this one, including deep dives into the surprising rookie campaigns for Titans WR Treylon Burks and Packers WR Christian Watson, but they also leave plenty of time to talk about Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, and a handful of 2nd year WRs.

Finally, after explaining how Tyler Lockett might actually be the better fantasy football WR than DK Metcalf, the guys preview Thursday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots.

Week 13 Pickups: The return of Ja’Marr Chase, J.K. Dobbins & Deshaun Watson

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens spent most of this podcast avoiding talking about what is available on the fantasy football waiver wire heading into week 13 because it is….disgusting.

Instead, Andy takes a Josh Jacobs-related victory lap before the guys discuss a ton of news, including major injuries for Darnell Mooney and Tristan Wirfs, and the return of Ja’Marr Chase, J.K. Dobbins and Deshaun Watson to their respective teams.

The guys also break down the exciting Sunday night game that saw Aaron Rodgers leave with an injury while the Philadelphia Eagles topped the Green Bay Packers.

Finally, the guys get into their favorite options from the waiver wire, some of which are reliant on injuries that we don’t yet know the severity of, before telling you who to drop and giving an update on Matt’s mom’s fantasy football league.

Week 12 Recap: Josh Jacobs dominates, Mike White completes the Jets and Trevor Lawrence’s defining moment

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski recap the NFL’s week 12 Sunday afternoon games with an eye towards their affect on the fantasy football landscape.

After talking about an absolutely massive game from Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, and debating whether or not it’s time to worry about Seahawks QB Geno Smith, the guys start talking about the new starting QBs around the league this week.

Jets QB Mike White was a huge improvement over Zach Wilson, but Bears QB Trevor Siemian failed to live up to Justin Fields’ spectacular play.

Kyler Murray returned to the Cardinals and almost led the team to an upset win over the Los Angeles Chargers in a game that came down to the final drive.

Jacoby Brissett got a win over the Buccaneers before Deshaun Watson returns to take his job with the Browns, and the 49ers RBs struggled to stay healthy while the defense kept the Saints off the board.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, in his second season, finally had the game that we’ve been waiting for from him and led his team to a huge upset over the Baltimore Ravens.

Matt and Dalton also predict a big week for Kansas City Chiefs rookie RB Isiah Pacheco against the Rams and Miami Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson against the Houston Texans.

Later, they discuss Sam Darnold taking over as the starter for the Carolina Panthers and wonder if first-year Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett is going to be fired after this season.

Week 12 Pickups: Broncos waive Melvin Gordon, Chargers/Chiefs recap and Cordarrelle Patterson appreciation

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens give an update on the news following Week 11 in the NFL, including a recap of the Sunday night game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers, before searching through the waiver wire for Week 12 recommendations.

Among the news items covered is the Denver Broncos waiving RB Melvin Gordon, Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts going on IR with a leg injury, Detroit Lions rookie WR Jameson Williams practicing with the team and New York Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson suffering a torn ACL during his breakout game.

In recapping the Chiefs’ win over the Chargers, Matt and Andy agree that Patrick Mahomes is inevitable and a bit of a cheat code when it comes to gambling on football. Also, following a CEH ankle injury, the lane is clear for continued fantasy success for RB Isiah Pacheco.

In the pickups portion of the podcast is a lot of guys getting opportunity due to injury, and a couple of rookies that are finally blossoming late in the season.

Finally, the guys get an update on Matt’s mom’s fantasy football league, which includes Brett Maher saving a fantasy football manager’s season.

Week 11 Recap: Justin Fields searching for balance, Josh Allen struggles in Detroit & Davante Adams’ walk-off

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski recap all of the Sunday afternoon games from week 11 in the NFL, which offered mostly bad games and a lot of fantasy football misses.

The guys wonder if Daniel Jones or Brian Daboll deserves more credit for the Giants’ success, whether the Cowboys will ever go back to giving Zeke more touches than Pollard and if the Bears need to stop calling designed runs for Justin Fields before he gets seriously injured.

They also discuss the Eagles looking lost without Dallas Goedert, Josh Allen maybe having lost his confidence, the Steelers looking better (but still bad) on offense, and how the heck the Broncos left Davante Adams open in overtime.

Finally, Matt explains why the Jets and Patriots deserve no excuses for their putrid offenses and the guys discuss if Baker Mayfield is one of the worst backup QBs in the league (no starter, backup).

Week 11 Fantasy Preview: Searching for help at WR & TE

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Dalton Del Don to preview the week 11 NFL games from a fantasy football angle.

With several major injuries to TEs recently, and a bunch of good WRs on bye this week, the guys keep their eyes and ears open for who might be able to help fantasy football managers at those positions this week.

Find out why you can’t play D’Andre Swift, why Darius Slayton is a top 20 WR this week, if David Montgomery is set up for another huge end to the season, what Matt Ryan’s return means for Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce, who the most promising rookie WR is and more.

Stat Nerd Thursday: Injuries galore, Amari Cooper home/road splits & Titans/Packers preview

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get together and come up with one stat for all 32 NFL teams that will help you understand their fantasy value.

The guys spend time talking about a lot of injuries and what they mean, including season-enders for Cooper Kupp and Zach Ertz (and the return of Marquise Brown).

Find out just how good Justin Fields has been (hint: nobody has been close to him in terms of fantasy output lately), why you shouldn’t panic about Christian McCaffrey’s usage, why CeeDee Lamb playing in the slot is a good thing, what Amari Cooper’s home/road splits mean (for him and Donovan Peoples-Jones) and more.

The guys finish the episode with a preview of the Sunday night game between the Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers, which leads to a debate over rookie WRs Christian Watson and Treylon Burks.

Matt Harmon and Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler sit down for another great episode of Ekeler’s Edge, this time on the heels of Austin and his Chargers’ teammates appearing on a special edition of Hot Ones. Austin recapped the experience, talking about why he was so sweaty and why everyone thinks it was fake.

After that, the guys get into football by talking about the Chargers’ loss on Sunday night football to the San Francisco 49ers. Austin was disappointed in his own missed opportunities, but also impressed by the two-headed backfield San Francisco has with Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

Later, the guys open up the mailbag to talk about playing at night vs. day time, what injury reports mean in 2022, and advice for players that are unhappy with the teams they’re currently on.

Finally, the guys close by chatting with San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel and preview Sunday’s game between the Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Find out who will replace Cooper Kupp in the Rams’ offense and why it doesn’t matter, why Leonard Fournette’s passport had nothing to do with Rachaad White getting the start for the Buccaneers, and why Matt was harassed by D.J. Moore haters at his sister’s baby shower.

After complaining about CMC managers that are worried about his volume, Matt and Andy talk about the rise to the top of the Kansas City Chiefs depth chart for rookie Isiah Pacheco and what it means for Clyde Edwards-Helaire (it’s not great!).

The guys also talk about what to do with Christian Watson’s massive game for the Green Bay Packers against the Dallas Cowboys, and make a comparison to a former Steelers WR. The news of Eno Benjamin’s surprise release and Zach Ertz’ season-ending injury both happened during the podcast, so there are also live reactions to both.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson had his statement games in an overtime win against the Buffalo Bills, Justin Fields showed why he’s already one of the top QBs in fantasy, Tom Brady’s Buccaneers look fixed, and Amari Cooper is still inexplicably bad in road games.

Matt Ryan made a surprise start for the Colts, who might be fantasy relevant again. Rookie WR Christian Watson caught 3 TDs in what could be a season-changing performance for the Packers offense and Patrick Mahomes continued to show why he’s the most valuable player in the NFL.

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Charles McDonald to preview all of the week 10 NFL games for the upcoming weekend with a strong focus on fantasy football.

Find out why Geno Smith is already better than Ryan Fitzpatrick, who the one reliable fantasy player is on the Broncos, why we’re so confused about the Dolphins backfield and if the Jaylen Warren buzz is going to amount to anything.

Also, the guys discuss Justin Fields’ meteoric rise, a possible Case Keenum revenge game and Saquon Barkley’s perfect setup for this weekend. There is plenty of talk around Patrick Mahomes’ quiet MVP candidacy, the Colts’ new play caller, what to do about the Packers and the difference between the Cardinals and Rams.

The guys start the podcast by talking about the Chargers’ win over the Atlanta Falcons, which was very nearly a loss after a late fumble by Ekeler, and how impressed Austin was by Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson.

With the news that the Colts have fired head coach Frank Reich and replaced him with Jeff Saturday, who wasn’t even on the team’s coaching staff, Austin takes a time to respond and talk about how he would feel if he were in the Colts locker room.

Austin and Matt then go through the list of the top 12 running backs in fantasy football this year, and discuss the wave of young RBs that seem poised to take over the league, before opening up the Ask Austin mailbag and talking about the home crowds at Chargers games, the challenge of defending a rushing QB and much more.

Week 10 Pickups: Frank Reich fired, Mahomes’ MVP case & when to stash Watson & Beckham

Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens start the show with the news of the Indianapolis Colts firing head coach Frank Reich and replacing him with ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday, which is one of the weirder stories from the NFL season.

After getting through that and the rest of the news, the guys recap a brilliant performance by Patrick Mahomes to squeak out an overtime win over the Tennessee Titans (who offer no fantasy value beyond Derrick Henry).

Andy offers his picks for the best waiver wire adds this week before both guys weigh in on drops and discuss if it’s time to add Deshaun Watson and Odell Beckham Jr. to your fantasy football roster.

Finally, we get a wild update from the Treviso Babes league and a report from Lesli on why she dropped DK Metcalf.

Week 9 Recap: Mixon’s big day, Tua vs. Fields & the Packers are done

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski kick off the Sunday night fantasy recap by talking about the high-scoring game between the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears that gave hope to the future of the QB position in Justin Fields and Too Tagovailoa.

The guys spend time talking about all of the games, but they do spend some extra time talking about the Green Bay Packers (and Aaron Rodgers) being “done” for fantasy relevance going forward and looking back at some of the (now foolish) preseason predictions they made about the Raiders’ offense.

Later, the guys debate if they’d rather have Garrett Wilson or Chris Olave in a keeper leave and wonder what happened to Gabe Davis this season. They also spend time celebrating the huge 5 TD game from Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon, and discuss if it’s time to trade Mixon off your fantasy roster or not.

The guys finish with the afternoon games, with Scott floating a theory that Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay wanted to walk way from football after last season and probably should’ve.

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

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.

Week 9 Pickups: Justin Fields emerges, Evan Engram scores & RB stashes

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 Recap: Huge games for CMC, Henry, Pollard, Kamara & A.J. Brown

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to provide a recap of Sunday’s Week 8 NFL action with an eye towards fantasy football.

After a few down weeks for some of fantasy’s brightest stars, this week included some huge games from newly acquired Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry against a division rival, Tony Pollard in place of Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Kamara (who is now QB dependent), D’Onta Foreman and A.J. Brown. Many of them ended up in the end zone three times on Sunday.

Matt and Scott talk through the games, debating where both Tyreek Hill and Jonathan Taylor would go if fantasy football drafts happened today, and thank D.J. Moore and Terry McLaurin for returning to fantasy relevance.

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab, who are chock full of movie quotes and references in this very fun fantasy football preview of the NFL’s Week 8 slate of games.

The podcast kicks off with all three guys giving their takeaways from the trade that sent WR Kadarius Toney from the New York Giants to the Kansas City Chiefs.

After that, the guys discuss everything and anything, including whether or not D.J. Moore’s fantasy value is rising, where Josh Allen would go if leagues redrafted today, how to unsubscribe from Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos, and why Christian McCaffrey changes everything for the San Francisco 49ers.

Since Scott and Frank used to host the betting pod, they use the opportunity to give out some of their favorite (and least favorite) lines to put money on this week.

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

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

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?

Week 7 Fantasy Preview: CMC trade reaction, Josh Jacobs victory lap & Ekeler vs. Walker in L.A.

Matt Harmon kicks off the show with the late-breaking news that the Carolina Panthers have traded star RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers.

After that, we dig into the meat of the show, where Matt is joined by Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don to preview all of the Sunday and Monday games for week 7 in the NFL.

The guys predict that the week’s best fantasy RB performance would come from the Chargers/Seahawks game, whether that’s from Austin Ekeler or Ken Walker, and discuss how the Baltimore Ravens offense will change when Rashod Bateman returns from injury.

There’s also a lot of conversation around offenses that seem to be making positive mid-season adjustments, like the Bengals and Colts, and what it could mean for the fantasy players on those teams going forward.

Stat Nerd Thursday: McCaffrey trade value, Chiefs WRs & Ken Walker hype

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don for another episode of Stat Nerd Thursday.

Ekeler’s Edge: Chargers/Broncos recap, Ask Austin & WWE’s The Miz

This week on Ekeler’s Edge, Matt Harmon and Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler talk about the team’s overtime win over the Denver Broncos on Monday night and chat about the Broncos backfield situation, as well.

The guys then break open the “Ask Austin” mailbag and Austin answers questions about other positions he would like to play, the mentality of a player who has gotten benched, and what not to do when you want to be traded (looking at you, Robbie Anderson).

Finally, the guys are joined by WWE superstar The Miz, who is obsessed with fantasy football and comes ready with questions about the RB situations with the Rams and Ravens (with a surprise podcast appearance from his daughter).

Week 7 Pickups: Stash rookies, drop Jets WRs & Robbie Anderson trade reaction

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens for the weekly waiver wire pickups podcast, but the show kicks off with the guys reacting to the news that WR Robbie Anderson has been traded to the Arizona Cardinals and WR DeSean Jackson is visiting with the Baltimore Ravens.

The guys also discuss the impact of Carson Wentz’s injury and how it will affect the Washington Commanders WRs, if at all, before moving on to recapping the Sunday night game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.

Once they make it to the waiver wire pickups section of the episode…there’s not much here. Between bye weeks and nobody taking a step forward that won’t soon lose their job to a returning starter, there’s just not a lot of fantasy gold on the waiver wire this week.

One guy to look for is Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce, who is putting up consistent numbers in an offense that seems like it might finally be finding its identity as a pass-first operation.

Before wrapping up with an update from the Treviso Babes league, Matt and Andy tell you who they would suggest dropping, which guys they think are still worth holding onto, and which rookies would make for great stashes at the end of your bench for the second half of the season.

Week 6 Recap: Ja’Marr Chase is back, the QB dead zone & Devin Singletary’s odd usage

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski come together on Sunday evening to discuss all of the action from the NFL’s Week 6 games during the day from a fantasy perspective.

The guys kick off the podcast by discussing the very fun Bills/Chiefs game and Scott breaks down how Buffalo is using RB Devin Singletary and how it’s different than how any other team does it.

After wondering how much longer Kliff Kingsbury will keep his job, the guys talk about Ja’Marr Chase’s long-awaited “squeaky wheel game” and what it means for his fantasy value going forward.

Matt Ryan looked young again against the Jaguars. Was it a mirage? Or have the Colts finally figured out the best way to use him?

When talking about Tom Brady, Scott brings up the idea of a “QB dead zone” this year. If you didn’t invest in a QB early in your draft, there’s a good chance you hate the QBs on your fantasy team.

Find out why Kirk Cousins is the prime meridian QB, why the Ravens remind Matt and Scott of “The French Laundry”, what’s wrong with the Packers offense, and why this year’s Patriots team reminds Scott of the magical 2001 Patriots squad that introduced the world to Tom Brady.

Week 6 Fantasy Preview: Worried about the Bengals, Packers, Dolphins & Colts

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski and Andy Behrens in previewing each of the Week 6 games in the NFL from a fantasy perspective.

Find out why Gabe Davis reminds the guys of Stefon Diggs (in Minnesota), why Eno Benjamin could be a league winner, and when is the right time to trade Rondale Moore.

The guys also talk a lot about the fantasy value for playmakers that are lacking at the QB position, like Alec Pierce in Indianapolis (sorry, Matt Ryan) and Tyreek Hill in Miami (not sorry, Skylar Thompson).

Matt gets to laugh at Scott and Andy, who continue their noble pursuit of a worthwhile Giants WR (Darius Slayton? Wan’Dale Robinson? Nobody?) and gets called out for bragging about having a lot of Jakobi Meyers on his teams.

The Packers offense looks broken, but their coaching is good enough that it should be fixed soon. On the other hand, the guys wonder if maybe Zac Taylor is the problem instead of the solution in Cincinnati. There’s also debate on whether or not Jeff Wilson will keep the starting RB job with the 49ers once Eli Mitchell returns.

Finally, the guys break down the Cowboys-Eagles game on Sunday night and talk about how wrong they were in thinking the Broncos were going to be good as a way to preview their Monday night game against the Chargers.

Stat Nerd Thursday: Josh Jacobs redemption, Najee Harris panic & Rhamondre Stevenson’s huge opportunity

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are back for another episode of Stat Nerd Thursday! This week, there is a heavy focus on running backs around the league and how much perception has changed around some of the key members of the RB Dead Zone since the start of the season.

After tackling a few news items, the guys discuss Josh Jacobs. Nobody was right about Josh Jacobs except for Andy Behrens, and he's certainly making the most of his final season before hitting free agency. He was one of the right answers from the RB Dead Zone, as were Miles Sanders, Breece Hall and Dameon Pierce. As such, Matt and Dalton each rate those four guys in order for rest-of-season.

After discussing the emergence of Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, and explaining why you may want to wait a week before trying to trade Najee Harris, Matt and Dalton turn their eyes to the New England Patriots.

Not only is Jakobi Meyers one of the most disrespected players in fantasy football (we have the stats to prove it!), but Rhamondre Stevenson might now be in position to be a top 5 fantasy RB each week until Damien Harris returns.

After the break, the topic turns to...you guessed it...more running backs! The guys talk about Raheem Mostert taking over the Miami Dolphins backfield, what happened to Chase Edmonds, the value of Eno Benjamin going forward (with or without a healthy James Conner) and if it's too late to invest in Travis Etienne in fantasy.

Finally, after talking about the Cowboys QB situation and the similarity in target/air yard share between DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown in Philadelphia, the guys preview a really bad (at least for fantasy) Thursday night matchup between the Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears.


02:00 Gabe Davis is back (?) and might be catching up to Mike Evans. Who will end up owing who on the dinner bet between Matt and Dalton?

04:40 NEWS / Isaiah McKenzie clears concussion protocol. What does his return mean for Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir?

05:55 NEWS / Rookie QB Skylar Thompson to start for Dolphins vs. Vikings in Week 6. What will it mean for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle?

08:05 NEWS / Rookie Broncos TE Greg Dulcich returns to practice. Is he the TE that fantasy managers (and the Broncos) have been waiting for?

10:10 30.3% of Josh Jacobs’ carries have been a first down or TD. Show the man some respect!

15:30 Don’t get upset about Kenneth Walker just because he was already rostered in your league

17:05 Panic about Najee Harris & the emergence of Jaylen Warren

20:40 Jakobi Meyers is currently the WR4 in Target Share (31.8%), behind only Cooper Kupp, CeeDee Lamb & Drake London.

24:25 Rhamondre Stevenson’s fantasy value is flying up now that he has the Patriots backfield to himself

28:45 Raheem Mostert has officially taken over the Dolphins backfield & everyone was wrong about Chase Edmonds

32:40 Eno Benjamin might be worth investing in as the Cardinals' backup RB

35:10 Travis Etienne's stock is rising while James Robinson's stock is falling in Jacksonville

37:00 Don’t give up hope this early on, the NFL never stays static

42:05 Cooper Rush is the probable QB starter for Cowboys vs. Eagles, and it's okay if he's not the starter once Dak Prescott returns from injury

43:50 Post-week 1 Eagles target/air yard share: A.J. Brown vs. DeVonta Smith

49:05 TNF Preview: Washington Commanders at Chicago Bears

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to kick off this Monday morning podcast by taking a look back at the major stories from Week 2 of the preseason and a pair of NFC South teams who can't catch a break with the injury bug.

Matt & Scott start things off with the news that Tom Brady is reportedly returning back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this week, but this comes after news that two more Bucs offensive linemen have been hit with injuries — one of them for the full year. Meanwhile in New Orleans, the Saints are dealing with health issues of their own as Jameis Winston finally returned to practice while Michael Thomas left the field with a hamstring injury.

Later in the show, the guys talk about a number of takeaways from week 2 of preseason action including analysis of the Washington and Houston RB situations & a trio of tight end who are becoming head-scratchers for fantasy managers.

Week 15 DFS Preview: Craft your roster late on football's most unpredictable Sunday

Over 100 players have been moved to their teams' respective COVID lists during the week. There's no easy way to say it — this weekend's games are going to be unpredictable, so buckle up.

Matt Harmon is joined by 4for4's TJ Hernandez to valiantly attempt to give you the best expensive and cheap plays at every position for Sunday's DFS main contest. Who knows, some players we expect to play may not end up taking the field. Others, like Seattle's Tyler Lockett, may turn around with some negative COVID tests and suit up unexpectedly. All we can say is: build your roster as late as possible on Sunday and remember: we're all in this together.

Week 11 Betting Preview: Does anyone want to win the MVP?

Week 10 provided more of the same confusing madness as Week 9. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked dreadful against the Washington Football Team. Matthew Stafford made the Rams look like the Lions on the road against the San Francisco 49ers? And the Lions almost sort of won a game.


Scott Pianowski & Frank Schwab pick up the Week 10 pieces and focus their sights on Week 11 on this Wednesday betting podcast. One of the big questions of the day: with all the upheaval at the top of the NFL standings, should we really be calling Josh Allen the runaway favorite for the MVP award? Or should Tom Brady or someone else entirely be in the mix?


Scott & Frank discuss the MVP and Mac Jones trending towards Offensive Rookie of the Year as well as each of the weekend's point spreads on today's podcast.

Week 10 DFS Preview: Fade the chalk, find the valueUntitled Episode

Week 10 presents some interesting challenges to daily fantasy players. Christian McCaffrey is expected to return, but with PJ Walker as his likely starting QB and against a stout Arizona Cardinals defense. Mike Evans may be the only star pass-catcher in Tampa Bay with his teammates Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski & Chris Godwin all likely to sit out Sunday's matchup against the Washington Football Team with various injuries.


Should no-doubt starters like CMC, Evans or Josh Allen against the New York Jets earn your daily fantasy salary? Or will they be too popular in DFS tournaments? Matt Harmon & 4for4's TJ Hernandez are here for a Saturday DFS podcast to reveal to you some expensive & cheap options at all all positions if you want to create the most unique daily fantasy lineup this weekend.

Week 10 Betting Preview: Can we trust the Bills again?

On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills delivered heartbreak to fantasy managers and sports bettors alike after being effectively silenced in a 6-9 loss to the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars. With heavy favorites like the Bills and Kansas City Chiefs struggling to blow their opponents out this year, should bettors be wary of high-powered offenses like these that always seem to get a "Vegas tax" when sportsbooks set the line?


Scott Pianowski & Frank Schwab kick off Wednesday's podcast discussing some of Week 9's head scratchers and Odell Beckham, Jr. clearing waivers after being released by the Cleveland Browns.


Later they dive into Week 10 and analyze each game's line and over/under. Can we trust those Bills? Are the 49ers toast against an angry L.A. Rams team coming off a disappointing primetime loss? Can the Browns make it two wins in a row or will Bill Belichick drop an L on his former team?

Week 8 Betting Preview: 7-point favorites just keep on winning

As we near the halfway-point of the regular season, two shocking NFL stats stand out that may be of interest to bettors: double digit favorites are 11-3 against the spread while every 7+ point favorite has won outright.


Scott Pianowski & Frank Schwab kick off their weekly Wednesday betting pod discussing these two numbers, and why the weirdness of the 2021 NFL season may be its chalkiness.


Later in the show, they dive into the Week 8 lines, including figuring out what to do with the COVID-diminished Packers visiting the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night, a potentially low-scoring Browns/Steelers matchup on Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs laying a whopping 10 points against the New York Giants on Monday night, despite their double-digit loss to the Tennessee Titans last weekend.

Six teams are on bye this week, including the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills & Los Angeles Chargers, causing confusion and mass pandemonium amongst fantasy managers. Thankfully, today's Wednesday betting podcast focuses on the teams that are playing this Sunday.


Nevertheless, Scott Pianowski & Frank Schwab kick off the show marveling at a few of last week's games & all of the firepower that happens to be taking the week off this Sunday. Later in the show, they take a gander at the spreads for each of Week 7's matchups. How will the battered Cleveland Browns hold up giving 3.5 points to the Denver Broncos on Thursday night? Can Frank's Indianapolis Colts get into form as an underdog in San Francisco on Sunday night? What should bettors do with the three double-digit underdogs this weekend?

Week 3 Betting Preview: Underdogs & unders rule so far in 2021

Underdogs are 21-11 through the first two weeks of NFL action in 2021. Can they keep up the trend in Week 3?

Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab look at how poorly favorites have fared so far in 2021 and take a stab at all the betting lines from Week 3. Will the Chiefs continue their losing streak against the spread this week while facing the Chargers? Will the Jekyll or Hyde version of the Saints show up against the Patriots?

At the running back position, Matt and TJ were shocked at the 2nd-most expensive player on the board…they also throw a couple of sneaky-good backs to take your lineup to the next level.

The guys also dive into the wideouts, flex and defense positions. TJ has a pick at defense that may surprise you…

Week 2 Fantasy Preview: Who can figure out the 49ers backfield?

Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season is finally upon us and the biggest question remains with those pesky San Francisco 49ers: who will be the lead back this week? Could FAAB superhero Elijah Mitchell get RB1 carries or will Trey Sermon work his way back into Kyle Shanahan's good graces this week? Nobody knows!


Liz Loza & Dalton Del Don preview the 49ers traveling east to the Philadelphia Eagles as well as the thirteen other games on Sunday's slate. Can the Bills bounce back in Miami? Will Jameis Winston turn back into a pumpkin after a perfect Week 1? Can Damien Harris get out of Bill Belichick's dog house? Liz & Dalton try to answer those questions and more on this Friday episode of the forecast.

Week 2 Betting Preview: Are the Packers actually this bad?

Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab review week 1 of the NFL season and how their bets did (not great!) before diving into every week 2 NFL game and telling you which lines they like best, which over/under bets they’re keeping an eye on, and which games you’ll want to avoid if you’re betting this week.


There are a lot of week 1 results that seem to be influencing the odds quite a bit. Should we be ignoring those results or trusting them to get ahead of other bettors?

Breaking down the top tiers at RB, WR, TE & QB

Fantasy football player rankings are very fine and good, but sometimes to get a better idea of the true value of a player versus those around him at the same position, you need to think about it in tiers. After pouring one out for the former Jacksonville Jaguar Tim Tebow, Matt Harmon is joined by Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys to talk about their top tiers at each key offensive position.


They kick off the discussion with a look at the running back position, why Alvin Kamara may have the widest array of possible outcomes, why the best draft strategy in 2021 may be to go RB-RB in your first two picks. (6:45)


Later they break down the top wide receiver tiers and whether or not this may be the final season of high production from DeAndre Hopkins. (27:50)


They close out the show giving their thoughts on the major tiers and drafting strategies within the QB and TE positions. (38:05)

Austin Ekeler? AJ Green? 7 spicy fantasy takes on the eve of real preseason action

Can AJ Green return to elite WR status in Arizona? Can Austin Ekeler lead the running back position in receptions? These are some of the scorching hot questions asked on this Wednesday edition of the Fantasy Forecast.

What does the Hunter Henry injury mean for Jonnu Smith and the rest of the New England offense? Should we re-evaluate our expectations for the Ravens after rookie WR Rashod Bateman left practice with an apparent soft tissue injury? What should we make out of another week of negative stories coming out of Cincinnati Bengals camp?


In the second half of the show, Matt & LaQuan run through some of the spiciest fantasy takes they can think of, including predictions for Desean Jackson, Corey Davis, Damien Harris and more.

What to learn from player projections & what's so hard about projecting SF, JAX and more

The season from hell continues for the Indianapolis Colts and it's only August 4th. With news that Pro Bowl guard Quentin Nelson is also going in for foot surgery, sharing the same 5-12 week return estimate as QB Carson Wentz, Matt Harmon is joined by JJ Zachariason to discuss the latest on the ill-fated Colts and more.


In other training camp news that may be more humorous to fans outside of New York, the Giants had a camp brawl that reportedly ended with QB Daniel Jones at the bottom of a pile and coach Joe Judge going nuclear on his team. Matt & JJ talk about what to expect out of the G-Men this year and how much improvement we can really see out of these offensive pieces. (8:25)


For the rest of the show, the guys talk about how fantasy projections work and how fantasy managers should consume them as a helpful resource rather than end-all be-all predictions. They discuss two of the hardest teams they've had to project this year, the Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers, as well as players they are high and low on versus their expectations, including David Montgomery, Javonte Williams, Adam Thielen and more.

Training Camp Storylines, OBJ’s potential resurgence and Zeke’s in the best shape of his life… again

Yahoo Fantasy Football experts Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get together to discuss some of their favorite storylines heading into the opening up of NFL training camps.


First, we react to the news that the NFL will force teams to forfeit games that cannot be rescheduled if they are responsible for a COVID-19 outbreak. What are the fantasy implications?


Later, the guys talk about the potential for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense with an in-shape Ben Roethlisberger, where Dak Prescott fits in among the top QBs in the league, whether Aaron Rodgers will report to Green Bay Packers camp, and even the potential resurgence from Odell Beckham Jr.


You’ll want to stick around to find out which NFL team will be the key to winning your fantasy football league this year and why nobody knows quite what to make of them yet.

Cam Akers injury, bargain RBs with RB1 potential & second-year WRs

This episode is all about finding hidden gems, whether that means identifying breakout WRs before the season begins or picking the right backup RB to stash on your bench for later in the year.


Scott Pianowski is joined by Corbin Young of Fantrax, RotoViz, FantasyData and Roto Underworld to break down the Cam Akers’ injury news and discuss what comes next for the Los Angeles Rams and their running attack, which leads into a discussion about how to find backup RBs that just need an opportunity to put up big fantasy numbers.


Which WRs are ready for breakout seasons? Is there a formula for predicting success in second-year WRs? And what type of production can be expected from Kyle Pitts in his first NFL season?

Check out this conversation if you’re looking to find some late-round gold in your upcoming fantasy draft.

Drafting our 2021 All-Overrated & All-Underrated fantasy teams

This episode will surely lead to some lucid, tempered and courteous internet #discourse. You know how every day on fantasy Twitter you'll see a post that goes, "X fantasy player is seriously underrated?" It got us thinking, who is actually underrated this year, and for fun, who is overrated?


Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Simpson of The Fantasy Millionaires podcast for a lively conversation about WR2s, followed by a draft of the QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs that encompass their all-overrated and all-underrated teams.


Is Jalen Hurts being drafted too high in the QB8-QB10 range? Is Jonathan Taylor's top 10 RB status on the highest end of his possible outcomes in 2021? Can any pass-catcher in Denver justify their draft value when either Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater will be under center?


Check out the conversation for where you can find value later in drafts and which top-name players might be getting drafted a round too high.

Questions you should ask yourself before your dynasty league draft

We here at Yahoo Fantasy are friendly to all sorts of league formats and today we're dedicating nearly the whole episode to dynasty leagues. Redrafting a new team every year is for chumps, dynasty is the format for the true galaxy-brained fantasy manager.


Andy Behrens is joined by dynasty expert John Bauer of the Fantasy Football Confidential and Dynasty Theory podcasts to get into the all the philosophical questions you'll want to ask yourself before drafting for your dynasty league this year.


First, they kick off the podcast discussing Saquon Barkley's recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show in which he avoided putting a timetable on his return. How should managers feel about the RB1's guarded remarks as we're about to enter peak fantasy draft season?


Later, they dive deep into dynasty. How do you balance constructing a team for long-term vs. short-term success? Is it better to trade away future assets for win-now players? What are the best settings for a startup dynasty league? Are rookies too overvalued in the format? Andy & John get into the weeds and hopefully you'll come out of the conversation a little bit more ready for your dynasty draft.

Has the Kyle Pitts hype gone too far & will DeAndre Hopkins finish WR1 overall?

The Kyle Pitts legend is already epic in length and expectations. Meanwhile, the guy hasn't actually suited up for a single pro NFL snap yet. Andy Behrens is joined by Troy King, contributor at Football Guys, to talk about the players they've been drafting in their #SFB11 leagues.


Did Troy reach for Falcons rookie TE Kyle Pitts whose pre-season expectations are already monumental? Was Andy's DeAndre Hopkins selection prescient of a potential WR1 overall? Could Cleveland's Nick Chubb finish the year as a top-five RB?


Later in the show, Andy talks to Troy about his love for the Miami Dolphins and they try to answer a few Fins-centric fantasy questions. Will Tua Tagovailoa take a significant leap in year two? Which receiver in their new and improved WR corps should fantasy managers focus on? What is Myles Gaskin's upside coming out of an offseason where we expected Miami to add more competition at running back?

Trade advice, picking a rookie dynasty QB, best teams to stack continued

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski keep your fantasy minds sharp heading into the 4th of July weekend.


As Yahoo Sports Fantasy Plus launches the Trade Hub this week, the guys give some free trade advice as well as listing off one of the worst trades they have personally made.


Up next, Harmon rounds out his top fantasy football offenses to stack in 2021 best ball with the Seahawks, Jets and Jaguars. How much stock are we putting in rookie QBs Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson? Can Russell Wilson get back in the kitchen or will the Hawks offense burn to a crisp again in 2021?


Matt and Scott wrap the pod with a great question. Which rookie QB not named Trevor Lawrence are we most excited about in dynasty leagues?

Worst fantasy punishments, Andy's zero-QB tale of woe & Zeke vs. Saquon

Liz Loza & Andy Behrens chop it up on this week's fantasy football podcast across a variety of fun league stories.


Tom Brady called someone a, "m-f'er," in the latest promo for HBO's The Shop. We talk about it and why we think that person's name rhymes with Kimmy Sharoppolo.


The story of a fantasy league loser who spent 15 hours in a Mississippi Waffle House as punishment inspired us to talk about the worst fantasy punishments you could enact on your fellow league mates.


Andy talks about how circumstance forced him into a strategy of drafting Ryan Fitzpatrick and Sam Darnold in a recent draft, and we discuss the 2021 prospects for the two new NFC passers.


Liz talks about her Rest vs. Rust series and what a doctor had to say about Dak Prescott & Saquon Barkley's injuries heading into the next season.


Finally, Liz & Andy play a little game of Believe or Make Believe regarding a few positive stories coming out of league minicamps, including Jameis Winston's hype video, a Sammy Watkins glow-up year, David Montgomery hitting new highs and more.

Confirmed QB1 Andy Dalton, Raiders WRs and players we wish got a chance of scenery

It's the NFC North QB battle that keeps on giving. Liz Loza is joined by Yahoo Sports' very own Mo Castillo to react to news that Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy will be riding with Andy Dalton as the QB1 heading into the upcoming season. With rookie Justin Fields reportedly getting no clear path to the starting job in September, Liz & Mo have some thoughts about the Bears' leadership heading into 2021. (5:40)


Later in the podcast, Liz & Mo talk about recent comments made by coach Jon Gruden about Las Vegas Raiders sophomore WR Henry Ruggs. Will he see more volume next season after an underwhelming rookie campaign? Will he face a challenge for targets from fellow second-year pass catcher Bryan Edwards or the newly signed John Brown? (17:45)


Summer is just a few short days away, so in the second half of the show, Liz & Mo chat about the players they wish took a vacation in 2021...to different teams. Would Melvin Gordon be better off outside of Denver?


Should JuJu have traded in the black & gold for green & gold? Can Liz convince Jimmy Graham (avid podcast listener) to clear out a path for a Cole Kmet breakout season? Not sure, but we have fun with it. (22:45)

How to use fantasy consistency as a statistic to build a better team

Sick of using precious starting roster slots on players that do nothing for thirteen weeks out of the year but then pop off with two or three monster performances? Yeah, us too.


Andy Behrens is joined this week by Bob Lung, author of the Fantasy Football Consistency Guide to talk about Bob's work measuring consistency and how to build a better roster thanks to those insights.


At the top of the show, they kick around some small news items regarding Jamison Crowder renegotiating his final year with the New York Jets, Laviska Shenault potentially taking on a new role in Jacksonville, Nick Mullens moving onto the Eagles and whether UNC rookie running back Javonte Williams could be the Week 1 starter in Denver.


For the bulk of the show, they talk about Bob's Consistency Guide, which positions are more consistent than others, what consistency to expect out of rookies and which highly consistent players are undervalued heading into the 2021 season. (11:30)


In the final segment, Bob talks about the upcoming Fantasy Football Expo in Canton, Ohio later this summer and his experiences driving around legends like Al Davis in his time working with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (31:30)

Dynasty startup strategy & why the Bengals are 'Cowboys north'

As June slowly heats up into July, so does fantasy draft season. Matt Harmon is joined by Anthony Amico, writer for Football Guys & Establish the Run to discuss the best strategies for your dynasty drafts this summer.


Before they can get there, Matt and Anthony chat about a few news items from around the league including a potential shake-up in the Dallas Cowboys WR trio, expectations for Miles Sanders and the Baltimore Ravens hosting Todd Gurley for a visit.


Next, they move to some concepts to consider for your startup dynasty leagues including why you should fade RB and always look to trade future picks. (14:00)


In the final half of the episode, Matt and Anthony take a long look at the Cincinnati Bengals offense heading into 2020. Is rookie WR Ja'Marr Chase already undervalued heading into this season? Can Joe Mixon have a bounce-back season with Giovani Bernard out of the picture in Tampa Bay? (24:20)

Julio Jones to the Titans, cheese theory & fantasy rules of thumb

After months of speculation, Atlanta Falcons star wideout Julio Jones was finally traded to the Tennessee Titans over the weekend, joining A.J. Brown, Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry with the AFC South contender. Scott Pianowski is joined by Rotowire managing editor Chris Liss, kicking off this Tuesday night podcast with a reaction to the trade and what it means for the both teams involved.


Later in the episode, Scott & Chris explore some of their fantasy rules of thumb and whether any of them truly hold up. Is Scott's rule to avoid WRs who have changed teams broken after the success of Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins in 2020? Should you draft for value instead of team balance? Scott also shares his cheese theory about players returning from injury. Yes, this is the only fantasy podcast you'll hear that compares Sammy Watkins to a fine roquefort.

Ranking the 25 returning head coaches in the NFL

Another week goes by, another week without a Julio Jones, Zach Ertz or Aaron Rodgers trade. But have no fear, AJ Dillon's got a name for each of his musclebound legs.


Matt Harmon welcomes Pat Daugherty of NBC Sports Edge to discuss Dillon's tree-trunk thighs as well as what fantasy managers could expect out of the running back situations in Green Bay and Detroit (where former Packer Jamaal Williams continues to receive offseason hype).


For the bulk of the episode, however, the guys go through Pat's offseason rankings of all 25 returning NFL head coaches. Bill Belichick takes the top spot after a disappointing 7-9 season in New England, but how would the Patriots have fared with a replacement level coach? Can we expect more out of Kliff Kingsbury, Matt Rhule and Joe Judge in the future? Matt & Pat explore coaches at the top and bottom of the ranks before giving their thoughts on 2021's crop of new play-callers. (12:10)

Cheat-code QBs & managing risk with your first-round pick

It's been no secret that the influx of rushing-upside QBs has flipped the script on how fantasy managers view their quarterback position. MVP seasons from Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson and monstrous numbers from the likes of Josh Allen and Kyler Murray have called into question the strategy of waiting for passers late in your fantasy drafts.


Scott Pianowski is joined by Rich Hribar of Sharp Football Analysis to chat about the state of rushing quarterbacks in 2021, Jalen Hurts' upside next season and what tier of QBs fantasy managers should target.

Later in the episode, Scott & Rich talk about the recent conundrum of taking Saquon Barkley at third overall in a recent draft. The third pick seems to be a major inflection point. How can fantasy owners manage their risk in such a do-or-die round & is there ever such a thing as a safe bet in the top 10? (15:45)


Finally, the guys talk about whether or not you should worry about strength of schedule before doing a little fantasy topic lightning-round on the Broncos, Cowboys, Tua Tagovailoa & more. (39:35)

Fantasy football narratives we'd pay to go away forever

Matt Harmon is joined by Marcas Grant of the NFL Network to talk about the latest in fantasy football and the narratives from this point in the season they'd like to see disappear.


First, they chat about the report that the Detroit Lions are working out Todd Gurley for a possible reunion with Jared Goff in the motor city. They also talk about A.J. Brown's TikTok recruitment campaign of Julio Jones.


Earlier in the week, ESPN reported that a certain former U.S. President tried to bribe a senator in order to sweep the NFL's "Spygate" investigation under the rug, which got us thinking: which fantasy narratives would we pay to go away as well? The Saints will be good this year! The Steelers will be bad this year! X player is looking swole on Instagram! All can get lost. (13:25)


Finally, Matt continues his series on stackable offenses & explains why you may want to stack Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and the Los Angeles Rams. (44:55)

Non-standard league settings you may want to consider next fantasy football season

Andy Behrens is joined by Scott Fish, famously of the eponymous Scott Fish Bowl to discuss league settings and thorny commissioner situations on today's podcast.


But first, the guys discuss a pair of NFL stories that just won't die: Aaron Rodgers confirmed his much-reported rift with Packers management after not reporting for OTAs; and Julio Jones revealed on live TV to Shannon Sharpe that he's, "out of [Atlanta.]"


For the bulk of the show, Andy & Scott run through a number of non-default settings and scoring changes your league can make to spice things up in the 2021 season and beyond: changes to QB, TE and K scoring, points per first down and more. (12:10)


Finally, Andy closes out the show inquiring about Kellen Mond, Irv Smith Jr. and the long-term prospects of the Minnesota Vikings (48:05).

BS-O-Meter: Najee at WR, Tebow at TE, Julio Jones trade partners & more

In late May, with only a few minicamps going on, we're in prime silly season for odd stories coming out of NFL franchises. The Pittsburgh Steelers are using Najee Harris at wideout! DeSean Jackson has a supernatural connection with Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles! The Philadelphia Eagles locker room culture has been changed in a matter of weeks thanks to new head coach Nick Sirianni!


Matt Harmon & Dalton Del Don run through all those stories and more, trying to determine: are these BS or not?


In the latter half of the episode, Matt explains why the Dallas Cowboys are the most stackable offense in the league (38:30) & the guys show some worry over the New Orleans Saints offense in 2021. (48:00)

Trevor Lawrence's QB1 potential & why we're fading the Falcons

After four months in the driver's seat for Trevor Lawrence in the NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still creating intrigue in the offseason. Coach Urban Meyer controversially worked out first-round RB Travis Etienne at WR during last week's rookie minicamp causing the fantasy industry, as it often does, to flip out.


Yahoo's very own Scott Pianowski is joined by Pat Fitzmaurice of The Football Girl and the Fitz on Fantasy podcast; they kick off the show taking a deeper look at the former 1-15 team, Trevor Lawrence's outlook for 2021, the addition of Marvin Jones to the receiver corps and more.


Next, the guys discuss the teams and players they're fading this year, starting off with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Kyle Pitts and the Atlanta Falcons. (13:00)


Later on, the guys talk about some of their other fades including Joe Mixon, David Montgomery, Miles Sanders, Ezekiel Elliott and more (25:15)

5 QBs, 5 lingering questions for the offseason

The NFL draft is now comfortably two weeks in the rear-view mirror. Free agency feels like it was four years ago. Now that the transitional period of the NFL offseason is in the books and we wait for training camp to begin, some major questions still remain.


Liz Loza is joined by Yahoo's senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson to get the insider's take on some of the league's most pressing QB issues:


What is going between the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers?


What is the latest on the allegations against Deshaun Watson and can we expect to see him in a Texans uniform this September?


When will we see the Bears, 49ers and Patriots turn to their prized first round QBs Justin Fields, Trey Lance and Mac Jones?


Finally, Liz & Charles wrap up the podcast talking about Wednesday night's schedule release, the upcoming games they're most excited about and the one game that's set to break regular season records for ticket price.

Tebow returns, Swift vs. C.E.H. & debating Yahoo's initial expert rankings

No, it's not 2012. Yes, we're unfortunately still living in this timeline. And yes, Tim Tebow is back in the NFL.


Andy Behrens & Dalton Del Don kick off this Tuesday afternoon fantasy football podcast discussing some of the latest mid-May NFL news: baseball's very own Tim Tebow has returned to the gridiron, signing a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars; Seattle's DK Metcalf failed to qualify for the Olympics at a track meet last weekend; and the Detroit Lions finally parted ways with Kerryon Johnson. The Johnson news spurs a D'Andre Swift vs. Clyde Edwards-Helaire debate.


Later in the show, Andy & Dalton argue about the initial Yahoo expert rankings heading into the 2021 season. Yes, there's consensus about Christian McCaffrey at the number 1 spot again this year, however, things get messy and spicy after that. Could Cam Akers really be a top five RB this year? What should fantasy managers do with Davante Adams, who may not have Aaron Rodgers throwing to him this year? is DeAndre Hopkins due for a regression? Could CeeDee Lamb make the leap into WR1 status? The guys discuss all those players and more.

Rookie Snapshot 2021: Best fantasy landing spots

The 2021 NFL draft is in the books, so now it's time to look back and see how we did. Liz Loza & Eric Edholm grade their pre-draft predictions and analyze the top rookie prospects, the teams they were drafted by and which ones have the path to immediate fantasy success in 2021.


Najee Harris is on a no-doubt path to volume in Pittsburgh, but will his offensive line hold up? Is Trey Sermon destined for success in San Francisco, or is he doomed to split touches in Kyle Shanahan's RBBC system?


On the receivers side, Ja'Marr Chase seems primed for a season where he could see at least 100 targets thanks to his old buddy Joe Burrow. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Liz & Eric see Devonta Smith easily snatching the WR1 position on the depth chart sooner rather than later.


Hear Liz & Eric's thoughts on 14 rookies plus one late-round sleeper you should keep an eye on.

NFL Draft Rounds 2-7: RBs, WRs, winners and losers from the draft's final two days

Scott Pianowski & Andy Behrens recap rounds two through seven of this weekend's NFL draft: the good, the bad and the ugly. Which teams improved their situations in 2021 and beyond and which teams left us scratching our heads?


How does the Broncos trading up to secure North Carolina's Javonte Williams affect Melvin Gordon's draft stock? An abundance of wideouts were selected to close out round two — should you care about any of them? Did the Houston Texans signal the end of the Deshaun Watson era? Are we poised for a Sam Darnold breakout year in Carolina?


Scott & Andy answer those questions and more on this Sunday edition of the forecast.

NFL Draft Round 1: Trey Lance, Justin Fields & Mac Jones surprises highlight otherwise chalky night

Thursday was a long day for NFL fans. First, Tim Tebow resurfaced from baseball purgatory to offer his services to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Next, Aaron Rodgers just about destroyed the internet with his perfectly-timed appeal to get out of Green Bay. Then, the draft happened.


Liz Loza, Dalton Del Don & Matt Harmon recap the highs, the lows and the WTFs from night one, round one of the 2021 NFL Draft.


Is there anything to glean from the chalky picks of Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson at 1 and 2? How does the squad feel about San Francisco's month of subterfuge paying off with the selection of NDSU's Trey Lance? With five WRs going off the board in the first night, which one do they like the most for fantasy?


Hear the answer to all those questions and more on today's podcast & watch out for our recap of rounds 2-7 on Sunday night.

Julio Jones rumors, why Lance to SF makes sense & Williams may be best RB in the class of '21

It's finally here (in two days)! Andy Behrens is joined by NBC Sports Edge's Thor Nystrom in the final episode of the podcast before this weekend's NFL Draft.


After addressing the pro-level rumor of the week, that the Atlanta Falcons are fielding trade offers on star WR Julio Jones, Andy & Thor dive into their final thoughts and assessments heading into Thursday night's draft.


After a spring full of gossip connecting the San Francisco 49ers to Alabama QB Mac Jones, Thor outlines why Trey Lance seems like the obvious answer all along and breaks down the & cons of both prospects.


Later in the show, they guys talk about why North Carolina RB Javonte Williams is shooting up pro-draft boards and has both the power and finesse to become the best back in the class.


Finally, they close out recommending a tight end fantasy managers should keep an eye on who isn't named Kyle Pitts and take a deeper look at Michigan WR Nico Collins and Ohio State RB Trey Sermon.

What team win projections can tell us about the 17-game 2021 season

Casinos around the country have released their win projections for the seventeen-game 2021 NFL season. Scott Pianowski welcomes Sammy Reid of RotoGrinders onto the podcast to look through the odds and try to find some value, but not before tipping their hats and saying happy trails to Alex Smith and Jordan Reed, who both announced their retirements this week.


Looking at the win over/unders provided by BetMGM, do the guys find value in Vegas setting the bar for the reigning NFC East champion Washington Football Team at 8 wins? What do they make of the gridlocked top of the AFC North with the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers all vying for supremacy in one of the league's toughest divisions. The Houston Texans currently have their total set at 4.5 wins; is that an optimistic outlook for one of the league's most disappointing franchises?

First up, Andy and Matt discuss the two earth shattering moves of Giovani Bernard heading to Tampa Bay and James Conner joining the Arizona Cardinals.

Quarterback-turned-receiver Julian Edelman has retired from football. And in his wake, he leaves behind the New England Patriots, the 3rd worst fantasy receiving corps on our terrible receiver power rankings.

In the second half of the podcast, the guys roll through some sneaky free agent signings like Emmanuel Sanders to the Buffalo Bills & Marvin Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don are here to discuss the latest in the world of fantasy football on this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!

First up, Dalton Del Don's San Francisco 49ers pulled off a big trade to get up to the third pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. Does that mean a potential franchise quarterback is heading to the Bay Area? Andy and Dalton discuss the ramifications of the move and whether this signals the end of the Jimmy G era in SF.


And, Andy and Dalton break down the latest "League of Leagues" draft that combines fantasy football, baseball and basketball into one gigantic league. While the league combines athletes across sports, the draft did highlight a couple of key players heading into the 2021 fantasy football season, like Cam Akers, Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott.

Pats stock up and more from the first 24 hours of free agency

Andy Behrens and Denny Carter from NBC Sports EDGE are here to break down the latest news on the episode Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Even after an avalanche of free-agency moves, we here on the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast have plenty of questions we're still trying to figure out. First-ballot Hall of Famer Drew Brees announced his retirement from football, but after Jameis Winston was reported to re-sign with the New Orleans Saints, how do we feel about Taysom Hill in 2021 fantasy drafts?

It's that special time in the NFL offseason when the football world is full of possibilities, before the draft and before training camp, when everyone returns the practice field in the best shape of their lives, where every disgruntled player is on the trading block and looking for a new opportunity. So how do you know what's real and what's a smoke screen? Matt Harmon and ForTheWin's Charles McDonald look through the rumor mill and find out whether or not Big Ben is returning to the Steelers, if JuJu Smith-Schuster is on the hunt for a new team, whether Marcus Mariota is about to be an NFL starter again, if Russell Wilson is actually on the trading block and more on this edition of The BS Meter!

The year of the underdog and an early look at NFC/AFC Title odds

The Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast is back with Scott Pianowski and friend of the pod, Yahoo's Frank Schwab!


Scott and Frank recap the state of handicapping in 2020, which saw and impressive number of road teams and underdogs pull out victories against the spread. Was it a one year blip or has the home favorite edge truly evaporated?


And, while we're talking about betting, the guys look at the futures board for NFC and AFC odds to see what teams look like good values early in the offseason, and why the Carson Wentz-led Indianapolis Colts might be worth an early wager.


This week’s odds are courtesy of BetMGM.

First up, the guys look back at Sunday’s blowout victory by Tampa Bay and how the Bucs defense made Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense look mortal.


Then, where do the Chiefs and Bucs go from here? While KC will likely bring back most of their fantasy-friendly core, Tampa Bay has a lot of tough decisions to make in free agency. Lavonte David, Chris Godwin, Leonard Fournette, Shaq Barrett, and Brady-BFF Antonio Brown are all free agents heading into the offseason. Will Tampa Bay have the opportunity to run it back and defend their title?

Liz and Andy dedicate this episode to running down what you should be aware of for every Week 15 game, starting with SATURDAY’S kick-off all the way through to Monday night’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals.


Deshaun Watson’s been great this season, but how much longer will the Houston Texans risk the health of their franchise QB? Will the Football Team’s upstart defense be able to slow down Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf and the Seahawks? Will Mitchell Trubisky and David Montgomery delivery another league-winning performance? Who has the edge when Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs take on Taysom Hill and the Saints? What about the duel between ex-Oklahoma QBs as Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles travel to face off against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals?


Liz & Andy try to answer these questions and more to get you prepped for Week 15!


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 for this weekend's games.

Tom Brady managers are looking for a QB as Tampa Bay is off this week. Should you turn to Kirk Cousins or another signal-caller?

Week 12 Pickups: Replacing Joe Burrow, Rex Burkhead and more

After a week of tough injuries and breakout performances, Scott Pianowski and Andy Behrens are here to let you know who to consider picking up off the waiver wire.

Taysom Hill’s first start under center (not, tight end, by the way) went about as well as fantasy managers could have hoped, but Scott and Andy highlight a couple of other QB options if he’s already rostered in your league.


With Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins hitting the COVID-19 IR, Gus Edwards now has the Baltimore backfield to himself. Well, himself and Lamar Jackson. He might be a valuable one-week start for those of you struggling to fill your RB slots.


And old friends at WR like Michael Pittman, Jr. and Tim Patrick are still available in over 50 percent of Yahoo Fantasy Leagues. Could you do us a favor and help that number increase? We appreciate it.

Week 11 Pickups: Return of Jameis Winston

As we barrel towards the fantasy playoffs, Scott Pianowski and Andy Behrens are here to tune up your lineup before a championship run.

Is it Jameis Winston time? With Drew Brees out for a stretch, the guys are going all-in on Winston in a couple of leagues at the quarterback position.

New England Patriots breakout stud Jakobi Meyers is your waiver priority for the wideout spot. Andy and Scott have a few more names to target as well.

Pickup options at the tight end and running back positions are very bleak. Let the guys parse through the junk pile and recommend a few players that could save your season.

Week 10 Fantasy Preview: Welcome back, checkdown king Alex Smith

Liz Loza and Andy Behrens are here to get you ready for Week 10 on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Liz and Andy dedicate this episode to running down what you should be aware of for every Week 10 game, starting with Sunday morning's kick-off all the way through to Monday night’s matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears.


Will Antonio Brown have a big game against Carolina after his underwhelming debut? Is J.D. McKissic a must-start now that checkdown king Alex Smith is under center for the Washington Football Team? How will Nick Chubb look if he makes a successful long-awaited return to the field? How wild will things get when Kyler Murray and Cardinals take on Josh Allen and the Bills? Will Jared Goff put up boffo numbers against the leaky Seahawks pass defense?


Liz & Andy try to answer these questions and more to get you prepped for Week 10!


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 for this weekend's games including one tight end Andy guarantees will find the end-zone this weekend and an under-the-radar rookie WR Liz believes will put up some huge stats.


Remember to stay tuned to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which will now have FIVE new episodes per week!

Stat trends you love and hate to see: Brandin Cooks, Jerry Jeudy and more

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are here to talk about all the major fantasy trends heading into Week 10 on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast — and stay tuned for a very special interview at the end of the show!


Matt and Dalton dive into some key stats and trends ahead of Week 10, including why Brandin Cooks is #good, and a potential resurgence for DJ Chark alongside Jake Luton.

There are some trends Matt and Dalton don’t like, though, including what Alex Smith’s quarterbacking means for Washington’s fantasy outlook and some of the surprising names on the Air Yards per attempt leaderboard.


Next up, Matt and Dalton engage in their weekly edition of “Who Got Shelled,” where they discuss a defense that got absolutely bombarded in Week 9 and a defense they expect to get demolished in Week 10.


Finally, Matt and Dalton welcome Brian Fischler — comedian, podcaster, and much more — to discuss his All-Blind Fantasy Football League. Brian isn’t like most other fantasy commissioners: Brian lost his eyesight gradually in adulthood and he shares his story along with how the league came to be, how blind football fans play fantasy and how his 2020 fantasy season has been going (as well as Brian’s appearance on Top Gear).

Stat trends we love and hate to see: Cowboys Target Share and Fill-In RBs

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are here to talk about all the major fantasy trends heading into Week 5 on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Matt and Dalton dive into the stats and trends they love, including quality backups in Kareem Hunt and Joshua Kelley — speaking of Chargers, how about Justin Herbert? — getting increased opportunity, and the Texans finally freeing themselves of Bill O’Brien.


Matt and Dalton also talk target share among some spread-the-wealth offenses to see who is on the upswing and who isn’t, like the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Dallas Cowboys (sorry, Michael Gallup).


Unfortunately, there are some trends they don’t like too, like the Arizona Cardinals offense not looking as good as expected, DJ Moore suffering behind Robby Anderson, and Josh Jacobs not delivering on his outlook.


Finally, Matt and Dalton engage in their new segment titled “Who Got Shelled,” where they discuss a defense that got absolutely bombarded the prior week. In Week 4, the Dallas Cowboys run defense made franchise history after what they let the Browns do to them.


They also point out two defense they’d expect to get shelled in Week 5.

And at the tight end position, Scott and Andy each give you a streaming option ahead of Week 5.

Liz & Andy try to answer these questions and more to get you prepped for Week 4, including discussing how we at Yahoo Fantasy are handling the Titans-Steelers postponement as well as identifying some QBs you might want to pick up if Ben Roethlisberger or Ryan Tannehill were starting on your roster.

Stat trends we love and hate to see: Kamara's shot at RB1, top 5 worst defenses & more

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are here to talk about all the major fantasy trends heading into Week 4 on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


First and foremost, Matt & Dalton discuss Tuesday’s breaking news that eight members of the Tennessee Titans organization have tested positive for COVID-10 and that both the Titans and Vikings (their Week 3 opponent) would be barred from in-person team activities for the time being. As that story develops, keep it tuned to the podcast as well as @YahooFantasy on Twitter.


Next, Matt and Dalton dive into the stats they love with the top-five running backs with the highest percentage of their team’s yards from scrimmage, including Alvin Kamara, James Robinson, Dalvin Cook, Austin Ekeler, and Derrick Henry (4:10).


There’s also some hype surrounding Darrell Henderson Jr. and Nick Foles, who’ve seen their roles changed, so Matt and Dalton discuss their outlooks. (13:00)

Unfortunately, there are some trends they don’t like too, like the Saints defense sucking and Drew Brees looking washed, cooked & all-around finished. (22:35)


They also discuss some buy-low wideouts you might want to make a trade for in your league (27:00), if Calvin Ridley has overtaken Julio Jones as Atlanta’s WR1 (33:35) and some bottom five defenses in passing and rushing success (35:20).


Finally, Matt and Dalton engage in their new segment titled “Who Got Shelled,” where they discuss a defense that got absolutely bombarded the prior week. While they lament the Baltimore defense getting flattened by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, they also point out two defense they’d expect to get shelled in Week 4. (41:00)

Stat trends we love and hate to see from Week 1

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.

RB shuffle, Extension SZN and Week 1 Defenses to Exploit

Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are here to talk all things football on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast — and we’re just two days from Week 1 kickoff!


First up, our analysts discuss some of the big transactions ahead of Week 1 action, like Adrian Peterson's return to the NFC North and whether Washington naming J.D. McKissic their starting running back has shaken our confidence in Antonio 'CMC 2.0' Gibson.


The Chicago Bears named Mitch Trubisky the starter, while Kareem Hunt and DeAndre Hopkins both got nice extensions with one reportedly on the way for Alvin Kamara.


Next up, Matt and Dalton debut a new segment titled “Who Got Shelled,” where they’ll 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.


Since this is Week 1, Matt and Dalton will take this segment to look ahead at matchups they believe will be pretty lopsided on Sunday. Matt goes with the Bills passing game vs. the Jets secondary, while Dalton thinks the 49ers’ passing game is going to have a field day against the Cardinals secondary.

Early Waiver-Wire Pickups and 2020 Bold Predictions

It’s never too early to hit the waiver wire! Yahoo’s Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski discuss pickups ahead of Week 1 and their bold predictions for the 2020 NFL Season!


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Every week through the NFL season, Andy and Scott will comb through the waiver wire and free-agent lists to highlight players you should consider adding to your fantasy roster. Our pre-season pickups:


Chris Thompson: With no Leonard Fournette to compete for touches, Thompson will be called on early and often to catch the ball out of the backfield. Preston Williams: With a narrow passing tree to battle for catches and early training-camp buzz, Williams could continue last year’s breakout. Darrel Williams: Even the second-string running back in Kansas City’s high-powered offense will be worthy of flex consideration, and what if CEH flops? Bryan Edwards: The rookie Raiders receiver will be called on early and often in the Vegas offense with Tyrell Williams hitting IR. Late-round Tight Ends: Chris Herndon, Blake Jarwin, Irv Smith, Ian Thomas, Jack Doyle could all provide top-5 TE value. JJ Arcega-Whiteside: Despite last year’s debacle, another offseason could mean a breakout year.


And our bold predictions for 2020 — please don’t at us if these are wrong, they’re supposed to be bold!


Joe Burrow puts up the greatest rookie fantasy quarterback season of all time. Terry McLaurin is a top-5 WR in 2020. Both DJ’s, D.J. Chark and D.J. Moore, put up top-10 WR value. New England Patriots win less than 8 games in 2020. Matthew Stafford leads the NFL in passing yards and is an MVP candidate. Derrick Henry doubles last year’s number and catches 40 passes Zack Moss is better than Devin Singletary CeeDee Lamb beats out either Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup to become Dallas’s second best fantasy receiver.

Cam conquers quarterback competition and last-minute draft sleepers

Liz Loza is joined by Jen Ryan of Sportsline to talk sleeper picks and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


But first, some news. We know Leonard Fournette got picked up by real-life fantasy team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Should we consider him a sleeper or a pass?


Cam Newton won the starting quarterback job in New England — does this make him more trustworthy in fantasy, even after the Pats cut Mohamed Sanu which further lessened the number of receiver weapons on this team?


The immortal Josh Gordon is back for another year. Liz and Jen discuss his fantasy chances as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.


Next up, the analysts discuss their sleeper picks at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.


This will be the last weekend without football, so if you haven’t gotten your fantasy action yet, create or join a league now and get to drafting!

You probably won't agree with these draft rankings

Dalton Del Don is joined by Rudy Gamble of Razzball to talk some unorthodox draft rankings on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Both Dalton and Rudy are notorious for having player rankings which are often completely different in some form or fashion when compared to the rest of the fantasy industry. So, they talk about some of the players they’re higher/lower on this year: Joe Burrow, Cam Newton, Tom Brady, James Conner, Le’Veon Bell, J.K. Dobbins, David Johnson, Chris Godwin, CeeDee Lamb, Terry McLaurin, A.J. Brown, Rob Gronkowski, Blake Jarwin, and many more!

Care/Don't Care: Cowboys, Steelers, Browns

Matt Harmon is joined by three very special guests — Yahoo Sports’ very own Senior NFL reporter Terez Paylor, Matt Waldman of The Rookie Scouting Portfolio, and Kaelen Jones of The Ringer — to talk all things football on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!

Matt and our guests highlight some fantasy team previews that need further investigation — specifically, discussing what they don’t care about those teams. These include: Not caring about the Pittsburgh’s Steelers’ past, Mike McCarthy being the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and the Cleveland Brown’s 2019 struggles.

Evaluating every coaching and offensive coordinator change (plus Leonard Fournette released!)

Andy Behrens is joined by Patrick Dougherty of Rotoworld from 4for4 Football to talk about the coaching carousel and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


First up, some news: The Jacksonville Jaguars WAIVED running back Leonard Fournette. Yes, the Fournette era — which started via a top-five draft pick — is over for the Jags. Andy and Patrick discuss the fantasy implications of this move, considering the running backs on the depth chart are: Chris Thompson, Ryquell Armstead, Devine Ozigbo and a pair of undrafted free agents. (1:35)


Next up, Patrick and Andy look back at all of the major head coach and offensive coordinator changes that occurred this offseason and talk about what to expect with the season less than two weeks away.

The Eagles, Vikings, Rams and Bears all landed new OCs and the Cowboys kept theirs but swapped out HC Jason Garrett for Mike McCarthy. Can we expect any major changes to these offenses at all or will they pretty much resemble what they looked like last year? (16:05)


Can Kevin Sefanski and Alex Van Pelt revive Baker Mayfield in his third season and effectively run a copy of the 2019 Minnesota offense (but with Odell Beckham, Jr.)? (21:35)


Pat Shurmur has been a bad head coach but always pretty effective as an offensive coordinator. Can he rocket second-year duo Drew Lock and Noah Fant into the conversation in the AFC? (27:35)


Will Ron Rivera & Scott Turner bring stability to Washington and help mature Dwayne Haskins into the first-round talent he promised at Ohio State? (33:55)


Joe Judge & Jason Garrett will steer the ship for the New York Giants. Will Judge’s scared-straight drill sergeant routine help the lowly G-Men and can Garrett turn Daniel Jones into a more consistent QB? (40:20)


With new pieces all over the Carolina organization from head coach Matt Rhule all the way down, will Teddy Bridgewater be put in the best place to succeed with the talented, if slightly unproven, WR corps? (46:25)

Our favorite bets of 2020: Team W/L Totals, Awards, and Fantasy Points

Yahoo’s Scott Pianowski and Dalton Del Don look through the slate of bets up for wagering at BetMGM to figure out what teams will surprise and disappoint, their picks for awards like MVP and Rookie of the Year, and place a few bets on props like fantasy points and most receiving yards in a game.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


If you’re new to betting, we suggest checking out Liz Loza's episode with betting analyst Minty Bets to understand betting terminology and how betting lines are structured.


You might be wondering what betting has to do with fantasy football, but it’s a great way to have a chance to still be invested if you miss out on one of your favorite fantasy targets in a fantasy draft. Only one team will get Terry McLaurin in a draft, but if you expect a break out year, the over on his season-long fantasy points is available for a wager. And it goes the other way too: You can use odds and lines to see how Vegas projects players to inform your fantasy moves.

Awards: MVP, Rookie of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year (29:15)

Busts to avoid in the first round and backup running backs to target

Dalton Del Don is joined by Chris Allen from 4 for 4 football to talk about busts to avoid in the first round, quarterbacks you should steer away from and backup running backs that might be worth a late-round pick on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


It’s often said you can’t win your fantasy league in the first round, but you can lose it. Chris and Dalton look through the players projected to be in the mix during the first round of fantasy drafts to highlight any potential landmines and how your first pick sets the tone for the rest of your draft. (03:35)


And, Chris walks us through his strategy at the quarterback position, including 3 that he advises you to avoid and 1 he suggests you target late in drafts. (19:30)


Every year, a handful of running backs break out from their understudy roles and take over their backfields full-time. Who will be the lucky few this year? Dalton and Chris look through running back depth charts around the league to see who’s rising and could potentially help your fantasy teams — while being had for free in fantasy drafts. (35:30)

Matt Harmon is joined by three very special guests — New York Daily News’ Charles McDonald, The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue, and the BallBlast Podcast’s Michelle Magdzuik — to talk all things football on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast! Matt and our guests highlight some fantasy team previews that need further investigation — specifically, discussing what they don’t care about those teams. These include: Not caring about any Giants receiver not named Sterling Shepard. Charles and Matt also discuss the Jason Garrett effect on the offense’s fantasy stars.

Do we care about figuring out the Los Angeles Rams offense? Jourdan expects they will use a lot of two-tight end sets, but will still give love to the wideouts. She also discusses Cam Akers’ outlook.

Finally, Michelle and Matt discuss the Bills running game, their love for Zack Moss, and whether Josh Allen will steal goal-line touchdowns from him the way he did to Devin Singletary.

This year's next Lamar Jackson, Chris Godwin and more

Andy Behrens is joined by Alfred Fernandez of Razzball and Dynasty League Football to talk about the real strategy for winning your fantasy league: landing breakout players.


On this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, Andy and Alfred discuss two pieces Alfred wrote called This Year’s Next (Part I & Part II) and the conceit is simple: Finding value is nice but it’s not everything. In the end, you need to find superstars.


So, Andy and Alfred set out to find this year’s studs, this year’s superlatives. For example, this time last year, a young handsome analyst by the name of Andy Behrens might’ve told you that Lamar Jackson would be that year’s Patrick Mahomes ... and he would’ve been right.


Continuing along that theme, Andy and Alfred outline for you who will be 2020’s Jameis Winston (good fantasy QB, bad IRL QB), Miles Sanders (rookie RB with a slow start and strong finish), Mark Andrews (high-volume TE) and much more.

How your brain works against you in fantasy football

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Forecast! Yahoo’s Scott Pianowski and Renee Miller, neuroscientist at the University of Rochester and fantasy analyst at RotoWorld and The Athletic, discuss biases, psychology, and how we get in our own way when it comes to our fantasy football teams.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


At its heart, fantasy football is a game of decision-making. One problem? We can be really, really bad at making decisions. Renee Miller, Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, joins Scott Pianowski to look at the mental pitfalls that impact roster construction, lineup decisions and trade negotiations in fantasy football like outcome bias, the paradox of choice and novelty bias. (00:50)


And, if a team's receivers are ranked highly, shouldn't its quarterback be a draft day target as well? Renee takes a look at the widest disparities between receiver and quarterback ADP in the league to see where we can find an advantage. (26:50)

Advanced Stats 101: What they are and what can they predict?

Dalton Del Don is joined by Ben Baldwin of The Athletic, aka the Computer Cowboy, to talk all advanced stats in fantasy and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


First up, some news that scared probably everyone in the fantasy community: Miles Sanders got hurt in training camp with what is being called a “lower-body injury.” He’s been labeled week-to-week with the injury, and the talented RB will reportedly be ready for Week 1. Should fantasy managers be worried about Sanders, Yahoo’s consensus RB10?


Next, Ben and Dalton get into some advanced stats, including the specific ones they look at, what those stats measure, and what they miss.what advanced stats do you look at? What do they measure? Why do they matter? What do they miss? These stats include EPA, CPOE and SOE. We promise these acronyms will make sense once you listen! (01:30)


Dalton and Ben look through the quarterback landscape in the NFL and used advanced stats to take a look at some potential regression candidates, breakouts and players that have relocated like Tom Brady, Ryan Tannehill and Cam Newton to see how their 2020 seasons could turn out.


Finally, Dalton and Ben discuss the state of the Seattle Seahawks, including their fantasy outlook, why Pete Carroll hates Russell Wilson (okay so maybe hate is too strong but just let the man throw the ball!), and the Jamal Adams trade. (40:30)

Next, Matt and Terez highlight some fantasy team previews that need further investigation — specifically, discussing what they don’t care about those teams. These include: Not caring about the ancillary pieces in the Kansas City Chiefs’ passing game, not caring about the “lack of continuity” on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and not caring about statistical regression in the Baltimore Ravens’ offense.

Salary cap draft strategy (plus Moss vs. Singletary & low grades on the Bengals)

Andy Behrens is joined by Kate Magdziuk of Rotoworld and the BallBlast podcast to talk salary cap draft strategies and the new-era Bengals (and more) on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Andy and Kate discuss some of their favorite strategies for Salary Cap Drafts. Should you go stars-and-scrubs or try to take a more balanced approach? What about saving some money for the end of the draft? Is that a good strategy to beat out your opponents for some $1 and $2 lottery picks or is it a waste of money that would be better used at the top of the draft? (3:30)


Later in the podcast, they discuss a few interesting players who might be on your draft board including rookie Indianapolis RB Jonathan Taylor, and a pair of 2019 breakout WRs in Tennessee’s A.J. Brown and Jacksonville’s D.J. Chark. (19:25)


Kate, admittedly a Zack Moss truther, sings the praises of the rookie RB out of Utah and how he could fit nicely into Frank Gore’s goal-line opportunist role for the Bills. With his Buffalo teammate Devin Singletary going about 75 picks ahead of him in Yahoo drafts, should players take a flyer on the first-year rusher? (30:30)


Finally, Andy closes out the pod asking Kate about her low grade on A.J. Green (who injured his hamstring today), Tyler Boyd, Joe Mixon and the Cincinnati skill players. Does the Cincy hate extend to rookie QB Joe Burrow, who Andy expects to have a monster year? (38:55)

Why you're drafting your team all wrong

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Forecast! Yahoo’s Scott Pianowski and Davis Mattek from SportsGrid are here to talk draft strategy and why conventional advice to guide managers in the draft room gets it wrong.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Don’t draft players from the same team, wide receiver is deeper than ever, focus on running back volume — for the past two weeks or so, the team at Yahoo Sports has brought you a plethora of fantasy football strategy takes, advice and wisdom to get you ready for drafts.


In this episode, we destroy it all!


Davis Mattek joins the show to explain his draft strategy, “modified zero RB or die,” why the wide receiver isn’t as deep as you think it is, and why, if you believe in your starting fantasy QB, you would be wise to pair him up with multiple receivers from his team.

Greg Jennings on WRs poised to break out — with the right play calling

Matt Harmon is joined by none other than Super Bowl champion and two time Pro Bowl wide receiver Greg Jennings to talk this unique NFL offseason on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Matt and Greg discuss the effects of this offseason and how a truncated training camp could impact players getting ready for the season, and why not all rookie WRs will be at a disadvantage to put up big numbers in their first season. (Spoiler alert: it's all about good coaching)


Along those same lines, one thing we've talked a lot about is the importance of “continuity” and coaching this year, that teams that have had an established roster and coaching staff with low turnover might be better suited for this upcoming season with limited practice time. Matt and Greg discuss the receiver corps in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Houston, and how good play design could open up their offenses and lead to potential fantasy value.


And in an ode to off-season news reports, Greg Jennings tells us how he got into the 'best shape of his life.' But seriously, Greg discusses his post-retirement bodybuilding career. It’s rare that an athlete retires ... and gets into even better shape.

Draft Guide: Tight Ends — deeper than ever in 2020

Dalton Del Don is joined by fantasy analyst Marcas Grant of NFL.com and the NFL Network to talk tight ends and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Here’s the plan for this week: Every day, we’re dedicating an episode on draft strategy for the big four positions in fantasy football: Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends. We already KOed the QBs, we took down the RBs, and we tackled the WRs. Now, Dalton and Marcas tackle the position that’s been a bit of a headache in fantasy drafts, the ends!


After the top 2-3 guys — George Kittle, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, TE tends to be an afterthought for fantasy managers. The analysts reveal what jumps out when they consider TE ADPs compared to other positions, how they’re approaching the position itself, and what exactly they’re looking for in a good fantasy TE.


They also run down the Tier 1 tight ends — Kittle, Kelce, Andrews, and Zach Ertz — and how they feel about them, along with some other key draft targets at the position, potential busts, sleepers to target late, and finally, they reveal their personal gameplans for drafting tight ends this season.

Draft Guide: Wide Receivers — and why all targets are not created equal

Matt Harmon is joined by fantasy analyst Rich Hribar of SharpFootballAnalysis.com to talk wide receivers and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Here’s the plan for this week: Every day, we’re dedicating an episode on draft strategy for the big four positions in fantasy football: Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends. We already KOed the QBs and we took down the RBs. Now, Matt and Rick tackle one of the deepest positions in drafts this year, the wide receivers!


Our analysts get into their big-picture strategies for the position in 2020, a rundown of all the premium wideouts in Tier 1 (guys like Michael Thomas, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, and more) who cost a high pick, potential busts at the position (sorry Amari Cooper), some sleepers to target late, and finally, they reveal their personal gameplans for drafting wide receivers this season.


Remember to stay tuned to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which will now have FIVE new episodes per week!

Draft Guide: Running Backs (plus the insane 'zero RB' strategy)

Andy Behrens is joined by fantasy analyst Denny Carter of Rotoworld to talk running backs and much more on the latest episode of the Fantasy Football Forecast!


Here’s the plan for this week: Every day, we’re dedicating an episode on draft strategy for the big four positions in fantasy football: Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends. We already KOed the QBs, now Andy and Denny tackle the most important position, the running backs!


For most people, taking a running back with your first-round pick is a no-brainer. Seven-plus players in most analysts’ first-round rankings are usually running backs. That said, the Zero RB strategy has gained momentum in recent seasons. Andy and Denny kick off the podcast discussing how to execute a proper Zero RB draft along with its pros and cons. (1:50)


Diving into the different tiers of RBs, Andy & Denny discuss who they consider the top backs behind Christian McCaffrey, the pitfalls of drafting Derrick Henry and at which point in the first round should you start considering a wide receiver like Michael Thomas instead. (11:00)


Overall, there are around 14 running backs being drafted in the top 25 picks of Yahoo drafts, among those names like Miles Sanders and Austin Ekeler. Who among that tier should you absolutely reach for or definitely avoid? (16:00)


Moving onto rounds three through six, there are a minefield of backs like Mark Ingram and James Conner, which names in this class are worth spending that draft capital on? (25:50)


Lastly, the guys close out the show discussing some very late round options for those Zero RB vultures out there (33:05) and throw some cold water on the very unproven Antonio Gibson in Washington. (42:05)

Tier 1: Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson (06:25)

Tier 2: Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray (09:55)

Finding 2020's breakout rookies

Liz Loza is joined by Emory Hunt, former running back of the University of Louisiana and founder of footballgameplan.com to talk 2020 NFL rookies and much more on the latest episode of the Fantasy Football Forecast!


Liz and Emory start off discussing all the news surrounding the season opt-out deadline on Thursday. The Miami Dolphins stick out as a team greatly affected by player opt-outs, so Liz and Emory look through their depth chart to see if there's sneaky value somewhere on the team. (01:25)

Heavy RB, early TE and more draft strategy thoughts

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Forecast! Dalton Del Don is joined by RotoWire’s Jerry Donabedian to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


After talking through the major NFL headlines including another Dolphins WR, Albert Wilson, opting out (00:58), and Jerry’s take on everyone's favorite hot-take target Clyde Edwards-Helaire (02:46), Jerry and Dalton discuss some draft strategy, headlined by the pros and cons of either going RB heavy or taking the Zero-RB approach that has gained popularity. They help listeners figure out what they should be doing in their drafts since strategy is so league dependent. They also discuss some more unconventional strategies to consider. (07:30)


Jerry and Dalton then move to discussing some key ADPs, including those for Ryan Tannehill, Cam Newton, Philip Rivers, Devin Singletary, Tarik Cohen, James White, Ronald Jones, Derrius Guice, Brandon Aiyuk, Steven Sims, and the New York Giants wideouts (to name a few!). (24:18)

What should you do with the #1 overall pick?

Andy Behrens is joined by The Action Network’s Chris Raybon to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode. Chris and Andy kick off things with a few rules for fantasy managers and sports betters alike considering this absolutely crazy year in which there will be no pre-season and less practice than previous summers. (1:55)


The guys chat about a superflex draft they’re preparing for later in the day and go over some best practices with drafting QBs in those leagues where you starting two passers is necessary. Is it worth it to reach for a Lamar or a Mahomes, or should you focus on some mid-tier guys like Burrow, Jones, Wentz or Goff? (8:25)


The topic of the number one overall pick comes to light and it might sound like a crazy question, but maybe it isn’t: is there any situation in which you should take Saquon over Christian McCaffrey at #1? (17:00)


Houston WR Will Fuller sparks a strategy debate: is it worth it to go high-floor or for boom-or-bust candidates only after the sixth or seventh round? (21:50)


Finally, the guys wrap up the show going to hot-take city and throw some dirt on a future hall of famer and a recent fantasy stud. Yes, Andy and Chris will tell you why Aaron Rodgers is washed and why Josh Allen is trash. (32:25)

2020's Carnival Teams: Good Offenses and Bad Defenses

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Forecast! Yahoo’s Scott Pianowski and PFF’s Ian Hartitz are here to talk about finding this year’s carnival teams, the teams you can expect to put up a ton of points on offense and give up a ton of points on defense like the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and more!


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


New name, new artwork, new release schedule, same crew! We will be coming at you five days a week, Monday through Friday, until the regular season ends.


Here’s the plan for August, all the Yahoo hosts you know like Liz Loza, Matt Harmon, Andy Behrens, Dalton Del Don and Scott Pianowski will be joined by guests around the fantasy football industry as we get you prepped for an unorthodox NFL season in 2020. We can’t guarantee you’ll win your league, but we’ll make sure you’ll stay entertained while becoming a smarter, more informed fantasy manager.


The big news over the weekend was Matthew Stafford and Gardner Minshew being placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. How should coronavirus impact rankings this year? (02:00)


Every year, a team like the 2019 Tampa Bay Buccaneers comes along, putting up massive point totals on offense while being a turnstile on defense, forcing teams to throw the ball to a narrow group of players to keep pace and ensuring fantasy gold for all involved.


Who will be those carnival teams this year? Here are Scott Pianowski’s picks:


Detroit Lions: The ball will be going to Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jr. early and often. Did you know Matthew Stafford was QB4 last year in points per game? (06:25)


Atlanta Falcons: The Matt Ryan/Julio Jones connection has been around for a decade, but are there enough passes to go around for Calvin Ridley and newcomer Hayden Hurst? (13:15)


Carolina Panthers: Consensus RB1 Christian McCaffrey is still a star, and while Teddy Bridgewater might not be peak Cam Newton, the improvement over Kyle Allen is good news for DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel. (20:30)


Seattle Seahawks: Pete Carroll and co. rarely let Russell Wilson show off his arm and make plays on the ground, but in a division with San Francisco and Arizona, relying on Wilson, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf might be the only way to keep up. (25:05)


Jacksonville Jaguars: We know Gardner Minshew II’s DGAF play-style can lead to big games, but is there anyone other than DJ Chark that fantasy managers can depend on? (32:40)


Miami Dolphins: Ryan Fitzpatrick will make way for Tua Tagovailoa at some point, but a massive second-half from DeVante Parker, a tight end primed for a breakout in Mike Gesicki and a returning Preston Williams who put up sneaky value last year could mean a lot of high scoring games. (37:25)

Damien Williams and Marquise Goodwin opt out, training camp notes, and much more

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are back to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Our experts are joined by Yahoo Sports’ very own Charles Robinson, who gives us a rundown of how things are going around the NFL in regards to the Coronavirus pandemic. They discuss player opt-outs, training camp protocols, and much more. (01;15)


We might have just received a clearer picture of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield behind Tom Brady. Ronald Jones will serve as the early down back, Dare Ogunbowale will mix in on third down, and talented rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn will serve as primary backup to Jones. But where will new signee LeSean McCoy fit in? Our analysts discuss their fantasy outlooks. (14:30)


Speaking of player opt-outs, Damien Williams decided to opt-out this season, causing the Clyde Edwards-Helaire hype train to explode. Is he a fantasy first-rounder? (35:00)

Keenan Allen gets SPICY

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Matt Harmon and No. 1 Raheem Mostert fan, Dalton Del Don, are here to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode. Speaking of Mostert, it seems as though the running back will be staying in San Francisco, after reportedly reworking his contract with the team.


Elsewhere across the NFL, the pandemic continues to cast a looming shadow around things, especially after news dropped of an outbreak in the Miami Marlins team. NFL teams have already begun to announce their positive tests as well. Players have begun to opt-out of the season as well, including a vast majority of star Patriots defenders.


One of the biggest headline grabbers this week has been Keenan Allen just completely cutting loose on social media about his standing as a wide receiver. Matt and Dalton discuss his claims of being the best WR in the AFC West, not to mention better than Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Tyreek Hill.

How often do top-scoring RB1s repeat their success?

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Liz Loza is joined by Mauricio Gutierrez, the founder of Estadio Fantasy, which is the No.1 site for Fantasy Football analysis in Spanish, to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Recently, Mauricio wrote about where the first pick fantasy drafts usually ends up at the end of the season — and the results aren’t pretty. In the last decade, only three RBs who were top picks ended up repeating as a top-5 RB, that was Arian Foster in 2012, Adrian Peterson in 2015 and Todd Gurley in 2018. None of those RBs repeated as RB1 the next year:


2010 - C. Johnson (RB7) 2011 - Peterson (RB15) 2012 - Foster (RB3) 2013 - Peterson (RB11) 2014 - McCoy (RB12) 2015 - Peterson (RB2) 2016 - A. Brown (WR1) 2017 - D. Johnson (injured) 2018 - Gurley (RB3) 2019 - S. Barkley (RB10)

Liz and Mauricio discuss this, along with Christian McCaffrey's chances to repeat as top fantasy running back, and whether we should that change our draft strategy/find a McCaffrey replacement at No. 1 overall.


Liz and Mauricio continue their running back discussion with Mauricio’s take on Joe Mixon, along with their thoughts on a potentially resurgent David Johnson.


Oh, and Antonio Brown un-retired from football again. Just in case you were wondering.

No preseason, the Rams' RBBC and farewell, Antonio Brown?

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Matt Harmon is joined by Yahoo Fantasy’s very own Scott Pianowski to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


After a lot of uneasy inactivities, the NFL and NFLPA have both agreed to no preseason games in 2020. In years past, the preseason was a great time for the fantasy community to ... OVERREACT. So now, what will we overreact to by the time Week 1 comes around? (2:30)


Training camp has also been a big topic of discussion, and it’s already looking like it will be very different from seasons past.


Elsewhere in the NFL, Sean McVay has stated that he envisions the Rams backfield to look a lot like the 49er one ... which is probably not great news for fantasy managers, especially when you consider that the Rams don’t have the system nor the offensive line in place that San Francisco does. (29:07) Matt and Scott discuss the repercussions of an RBBC in LA, and much more (including Antonio Brown’s apparent retirement — good news for Seahawks receivers?) (38:16)

Talking draft strategy, targets and avoids with Jason from Fantasy Footballers

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Liz Loza is joined by none other than Jason Moore of The Fantasy Footballers to talk all things football and fantasy on this latest episode.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Since Jason has nailed a top-10 accuracy score on FantasyPros ranking of experts for three straight years, we ask him how he's approaching his drafts in a COVID-19-impacted season and his guiding principles when it comes to draft day. (04:20)


Next up, Liz and Jason discuss two sleeper wide receivers, one who should smash his ADP and another who might be held back by poor quarterback play. (14:08) Plus, Jason shares his thoughts on the ever-confusing Austin Ekeler (29:15)


One of the biggest headlines of the week Liz and Jason discuss is Derrick Henry signing a big extension for 4 years, $50 million. It’s the kind of extension that disagrees with the notion of running backs being replaceable — is Derrick Henry’s deal the start of more? (36:37)


Next up, Liz and Jason discuss a couple of names who are jumping out at them in drafts along with some players they’re avoiding.

They also discuss the fantasy outlook of the Washington team, especially now that Kelvin Harmon suffered an ACL injury. Aside from Terry McLaurin, who else can we trust on this team? Is Antonio Gibson about to see his draft cost skyrocket? (44:24)

[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


First up, Matt and TJ discuss some of TJ's work in the offseason, including his breakdown of what wide receiver stats matter from year to year. (01:50)


breaking news in the NFL world. In a bit of a surprising move, it was reported that Raheem Mostert requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. After seemingly looking like the clear workhorse following the Matt Breida trade to the Dolphins (not to mention, Mostert’s awesome performances late last year), Mostert wants out. (11:19)


Matt and TJ break down the situation, as well as the fantasy outlooks of Mostert if he does leave, and Tevin Coleman, who would seemingly be elevated in this backfield.


Next up, the analysts discuss two of their more recent pieces: TJ’s story on how Josh Allen can be this year’s Lamar Jackson (20:00), and Matt’s piece on the workload awaiting Bruce Arians now that Tom Brady is his starting QB. (33:34)

Dissecting Josh Allen, Mahomes signs big, and welcome back Damien Williams

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don are back to discuss all things fantasy and all things football on the latest episode.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


You might have heard — just might — that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and clearly otherworldy being Patrick Mahomes signed the richest contract in sports HISTORY. We imagine that the Chiefs read our team preview and said to themselves, “Yeah, he's pretty good.” But in all seriousness, how should fantasy managers approach the QB Deity and his surrounding team this year in drafts? (01:41)


Elsewhere in Chiefs news, could it be that we’ve tossed Damien Williams to the side too rashly? According to his running backs coach,

Williams is expected to have a “big year.” Does this mean trouble for super-hyped rookie, Clyde Edwards-Helaire? (07:10)


One of the more polarizing players in 2020 fantasy drafts is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Matt and Dalton weigh in on if the Firebaugh, California native is an inaccurate scrambler who's being overrated in fantasy drafts or a future fantasy MVP. (19:48)

Injuries, safety and sports in the time of Coronavirus

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Yahoo's fantasy analyst Andy Behrens chats with sports medicine physicians Dr. Sara Edwards and Dr. Gregory Horner for an episode that's a bit of a detour from our usual discussions on sleepers, waiver wire picks and receivers who are poised to break out to talk all things injuries and COVID-19.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Dr. Edwards is the Associate Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF, and she currently serves as a team physician for the City College of San Francisco, the University of San Francisco and the Oakland Ballet. Dr. Horner is the leader of the Tri-Valley Orthopedic Specialists’ hand surgery team in Pleasanton, CA and former wide receiver for the Northwestern University Wildcats football team.


Andy, Dr. Horner and Dr. Edwards discuss the effects of COVID-19 on sports across the country, how a coronavirus-impacted preseason could mirror the 2011 NFL lockout-affected season which saw more injuries than usual, a look at the testing protocols professional and collegiate sports will be undertaking, whether long-terms effects are a concern for athletes and why you should really, really wear a mask.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Liz Loza is joined by Scott Pianowski to talk all things football.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


And few things are dominating the football conversation more than news that Cam Newton had reached a deal with the New England Patriots. Our analysts discuss Cam’s outlook with the Patriots as well as his chances of producing in the 2020 fantasy football season. (0:30)


We'll also compare the fortunes of Cam Newton in New England with Ben Roethlisberger, another QB coming off injury who can be had late in drafts. (2:30)


And we take a look at our favorite picks in the later rounds of fantasy drafts, like Jordan Howard and Terry McLaurin, whose hype train we will continue to pilot until draft day. (12:15)


While Coronavirus has put a damper on the usual news parade of players being in the best shape of their lives, Liz and Scott take a look at the fortunes of Evan Engram who makes his way back from a Lisfranc injury that hobbled him in 2019. He’s currently the sixth TE off the board, but is he worth the draft capital at that spot? (41:15)


This year has been unlike any other, and fantasy sports have been directly affected. Liz and Scott talk some changes they’ve made (or will make) in their league settings to reflect the current state of affairs. (49:00)

A shorter preseason, the Ravens offense and a Big Ben bounceback?

Welcome back to a new episode of the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are back to talk all things football.

[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


While training camps are expected to open on time, Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports that the NFL is discussing the viability of a full preseason slate, and we know the annual HOF game has been canceled. What will be the impact of a shortened ramp-up period on players? (0:33)


Matt Harmon calls Ben Roethlisberger "one of the keys to fantasy football in 2020" since his health directly impacts the value of Juju Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson and James Conner. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, said, "He's comfortable and pleased where he is. Some people who had the opportunity to work with him are impressed and pleased where he is. The medical experts are comfortable where he is and his readiness for 2020." Liz Loza's chats with an orthopedist says the prolonged break for Ben is a little bit good news and a little bit bad news for his expected value and the Steelers offense. (13:10)


And elsewhere in the AFC North, one of the Steelers’ biggest rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, loom as division favorites, but do we need to worry about Lamar Jackson regressing? If potential regression is to be staved off, Lamar will need weapons to throw to. Can anyone other than Hollywood Brown and Mark Andrews step up in Baltimore? Or are there just not enough touches left once Brown, Andrews, and the rushing game with Lamar get theirs? At least we'll always have some early Miles Boykin coach-hype. (22:45)


Plus, we'll get a player debate in before we get out of here: Is the fantasy community too pessimistic on the Rivers-less Keenan Allen? (45:43)

Talking money-making quarterbacks and underrated wide receivers

Welcome back to a new episode of the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to talk all things football.


Some big football news came in the form of Dak Prescott signing the franchise tag in 2020. Now that he’s locked in for the season, will he be a top 3 fantasy quarterback this year? (1:40)


Speaking of quarterbacks that are about to make a lot of money, Matt is working on a series titled, “Players that will tell the story of the season.” And one of the guys he’s looking at is Patrick Mahomes.


It’s kind of wild to say this about an MVP and Super Bowl winner, but does Mahomes have an ever higher ceiling that we’ve seen? (7:40)

Will a rising tide named DeAndre Hopkins lift all boats in the Arizona offense? (15:40)


Elsewhere in fantasyland, Matt lists some underrated wideouts he likes this season (30:36):


Terry McLaurin Diontae Johnson Marquise Brown Sterling Shepard Anthony Miller Curtis Samuel


With a list of names like this, is there a reason to grab a WR early in drafts? Dalton and Matt discuss.

'Stick to sports,' Coronavirus concerns, and who will fill Deebo's shoes?

Welcome to the Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football Podcast! Liz Loza and Matt Harmon return after a brief hiatus with a new episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast to talk Coronavirus, Deebo Samuel's foot injury, and the idea of 'sticking to sports.'


You might've noticed that for the past two weeks or so that we haven't had a show.


In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, and the ensuing protests which we support here, we felt wasn’t right to be joking and just focusing on fantasy football while we're all thinking about and facing the realities of systemic racism in the country.


We want this show to be a place where we’re able to talk to each other honestly about what we're thinking, when it comes to fantasy football, but also beyond sports. So if you’re looking for a place where we just stick to sports, this podcast isn’t it.


Dr. Anthony Fauci says that there shouldn't be a season without a bubble: "Unless players are essentially in a bubble — insulated from the community and they are tested nearly every day — it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall." Liz shares some nuggets from her conversations with an orthopedist and epidemiologist about what to expect this season.


And, one nugget of fantasy news, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel broke his foot recently and is expected to miss the start of the 2020 NFL Season. Will someone else in the receiving corps fill his shoes?

Talking Packers, Bears, and second-tier RB options

Liz Loza is joined by none other than NFL Network’s Adam Rank on the latest fantasy football podcast!


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Liz and Adam talk all things NFL, including Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones saying he “would love to be a lifelong Packer.”


... Which is interesting, considering the Packers drafted rookie running back, A.J. Dillon. Liz and Adam share their thoughts on this backfield along with how they’d draft Jones this year. (03:25)


They’ll also break down where Jones fits in their strategy along with fellow tier 2 RBs Josh Jacobs (11:57), Austin Ekeler (13:01), Miles Sanders (18:00), James Conner (26:10), and Devin Singletary (29:10) .


We’ve been talking quite a bit about the Bears on this here pod, and since Adam is a Bears guy, he and Liz give their thoughts on the offense (along with a tweet from Adam stating he thought rookie tight end Cole Kmet was a good draft choice by said Bears!). (32:54)


Finally, the experts run through some guys they like and don’t like for this fantasy football season, including Drew Lock and potentially lethal Denver Broncos (40:10), and Hunter Renfrow of the Las Vegas Raiders. (44:56)

WR Rankings and Reception Perception 101

In this edition of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast, we’re flipping the script a bit and having Dalton Del Don throw questions at Matt Harmon and give us a sneak peek at this year’s Reception Perception!


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


But first, Dalton and Matt talk some of the major happenings in the NFL, including the Seattle Seahawks adding their 50th starting running back!


Okay, in all seriousness, the Seahawks signed Carlos Hyde, and now their backfield consists of Hyde, Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, and Travis Homer. What does this mean for fantasy? (01:25)


And later in the show, Matt Harmon explains the methodology and process behind Reception Perception. For those of you new to Reception Perception, Matt Harmon basically hunkers down while most of us are recuperating from the football season and reviews every route a wide receiver runs to see how successful they are in a wide variety of scenarios. Yes, every. Single. Route. (04:27)


Here are some of the receivers Matt and Dalton discuss in today’s show:


Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers (14:31)


Stefon Diggs and John Brown, Buffalo Bills (20:42)


Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (22:18)


Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams (25:42)


Odell Beckham, Jr., Cleveland Browns (27:54)


A.J. Brown, Tennessee Titans (32:26)


Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, Dallas Cowboys (34:12)

NFC West backfields and RB/TE rankings showdown

Running backs are almost always the talk of the town when it comes to early fantasy football projections and predictions, but there’s a pair of NFC West backfields that haven’t really been getting much attention, until now.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


While the backfield is San Francisco doesn’t have a true every down, big-name workhorse, it’s one that should have tons of potential value. Supposed RB1, Raheem Mostert, recently told the media that he’s bulking up so that he can handle 200+ carries this season. Are we buying the breakout for Mostert? (13:16)


Elsewhere in the NFC West, Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay said, "We feel we've got three really good backs." "What we wanted to do was get a group that we felt really good about ... This enables us to say, 'We're not necessarily committed to any approach, it's a feel for the flow of the game.” That's not exactly a ringing endorsement to take Cam Akers early in fantasy drafts. (18:36)


Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don discuss those backfields and much more on the latest fantasy football podcast.


Matt and Dalton also debate some players they disagree with from their rankings; specifically, their running backs (24:02) like J.K. Dobbins and Derrius Guice, and tight ends like T.J. Hockenson and Austin Hooper (41:24). Next week, they’ll throw down over their QB and WR rankings!

The importance of continuity in an uneven offseason

With all the uncertainty surrounding the current state of affairs, continuity becomes paramount, and that is especially true for NFL rookies about to begin their first season or for free agents who are about to learn an entirely new system on an entirely new team.


We don’t know what this offseason will bring, but one thing is for sure: Players who have continuity on their side are in a better position to succeed — and fantasy managers should take note!


Liz Loza is joined by Andy Behrens discuss continuity and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.

[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


In NFL news, The Athletic's Connor Hughes suggests the Jets "can’t wait to unleash Chris Herndon" this upcoming season. Liz and Andy discuss the outlook of the Jets’ offensive pieces, including the returning Herndon, Sam Darnold, Le’Veon Bell, and newcomer Denzel Mims. (03:17)


Speaking of continuity, a couple of veteran NFL quarterbacks have been trying to get things going with their top weapons. A less-hairy Ben Roethlisberger has been working out with JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner, and Ryan Switzer, while new-Buccaneer Tom Brady underwent a two-hour throwing session with Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, and five other teammates. (12:44)


Liz and Andy discuss them and other teams and players benefiting from continuity — including Liz’s take on Jarrett Stidham and the Patriots — and the teams that might be lacking in chemistry from a full offseason:


AFC East (17:36)

NFC East (21:44)

AFC North (24:47)

NFC North (26:48)

AFC South (33:14)

NFC South (37:35)

AFC West (49:30)

Learning from burnt takes, and does anyone know how healthy Todd Gurley is?

We’ve all had predictions that turn out to be wrong. We’ve all had bad takes that come back to haunt us. It’s a part of life and the human need to try and make an opinion as close to a fact as possible. The key is to learn something from that burnt take.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon have had some of their own, and they discuss those takes and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


But first, we look at some of the news around the NFL. Falcons OC Dirk Koetter said about RB Todd Gurley that "The main question, that no one seems to know, is what is his health status?” If the OC doesn’t know ... who does? (01:41)


Colts WR T.Y. Hilton recently said, "I want to be a Colt” in reference to his contract status ... which is not a sentence you need to say if a team already wants you back. Are we buying or selling Hilton in a Rivers-led offense? (10:10)


Our Tennessee Titans 2020 preview went live, and our experts give their thoughts on Derrick Henry's chances of becoming the overall #1 running back for the year. (Hint: they're not high, but that doesn't mean you should avoid him this year.) (17:15)


Most recently, Matt looked back at his failed 2019 takes on both Alvin Kamara and Davante Adams. Liz, too, had a burnt 2019 take, on David Johnson. They discuss the three questionable takes in detail, what to expect from them in 2020, and why it's important to focus on process not results. (19:05)

Davante vs. DeAndre, 6 big questions and the NFL schedule

It’s never too early for draft prep szn, and there are already some big questions that we’re wrapping our heads around as we careen toward opening kickoff for the 2021 NFL season. Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to discuss those questions and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.

[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Head coach Bill Belicheck has spent much of the 21st century proving naysayers wrong, but with an unproven quarterback and unremarkable players at skill positions, what do we do about the New England Patriots? (02:40)


Perennial All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins heads to Arizona and is the consensus WR5 at FantasyPros, but with a move to a spread-the-wealth offense and limited time to build rapport with a new quarterback, can he leapfrog Davante Adams or Julio Jones? (07:17)


Los Angeles Chargers running back and PPR monster Austin Ekeler has a new quarterback and doesn’t have Melvin Gordon eating up touches, could we see another career year? (19:38)


After James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster fell short of their expected breakouts, are we sleeping on the Pittsburgh Steelers? (28:39)

Most fantasy experts were ready to anoint Mecole Hardman as a breakout player at the end of the 2019 season, but with Sammy Watkins returning and a buzzy rookie in the backfield, do we have to wait another year? (37:31)


With a healthy OBJ, Kareem Hunt in the fold for a full season and another receiving weapon in Austin Hooper, are we ready to forgive the Cleveland Browns if their expected fantasy breakout comes a year later than we all expected? (44:37)


Along with talk of those underrated values and undervalued names on high-powered offenses, Matt and Scott discuss some of the takeaways from the reveal of the 2020 NFL schedule. (49:28)

The immortal Frank Gore, Best Ball draft recap, and is AG the new CMC?

The year is 3042. In a future incredibly different from our present, Frank Gore rushes for another touchdown.


Okay so he’s not that old, but his longevity does make one wonder about Gore’s potential immortality, as it was announced that he would be signing with the New York Jets.


Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don to discuss that signing and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Now that Gore is a member of Gang Green, should we as fantasy players be worried about Le’Veon Bell? (02:30)


Speaking of running backs, Washington head coach Ron Rivera made quite the statement recently, saying rookie Antonio Gibson “has a skill set like Christian McCaffrey.” Soon, we’ll find out that Antonio Gibson is already in the best shape of his life, has lost 20 pounds, and has put on 30 pounds of muscle. (06:41)


Elsewhere in the NFL, the fifth-year option wheel began to turn, as both the Bears and Titans declined to pick up the options of Mitchell Trubisky and Corey Davis, respectively. (10:37)


Oh, and Andy Dalton signed with the Dallas Cowboys like we all suspected he would. (23:15)


To wrap things up this episode, our experts recap what they learned recently from a 10-team Best Ball draft. (27:33)

Rookie winners and veteran losers from the NFL Draft

Welcome back to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast! In this episode, Yahoo's Liz Loza and Matt Harmon break down some of their favorite rookies from the back-end of the NFL Draft and take a look at some veterans who might be fighting for a job when (if?) training camp opens.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


Every year, a few rookies from the later rounds break out for unexpected fantasy value. Who will it be this year? Liz plans on taking a shot on the Tennessee Titans’ Darrynton Evans who'll likely slide into third-down duties with Derrick Henry's passing game woes, and Matt goes with Bryan Edwards, who'll likely start alongside fellow rookie Henry Ruggs in Las Vegas (00:51).


Matt and Liz also look at two more rookies that they think could have big years, Washington's Antonio Gandy-Golden and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who'll only need to leap frog Ronald Jones II to line up in the backfield with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. (06:13)


Elsewhere in the NFL, O.J Howard had his fifth-year option picked up in Tampa Bay (13:20), Andy Dalton was released by the Bengals (20:31), the Los Angeles Chargers held on to Justin Herbert's future security blanket Mike Williams (23:01). And while all this is going on, Cam Newton is still searching for a new team (27:48). Perhaps the New England Patriots will make a play? It's been way too long since they've had a former MVP under center.


And we wrap up the show by looking at some of the veterans who might be less than excited about the results of the Draft, like Jamison Crowder from the New York Jets and Julian Edelman, who as of right now, does not have a former MVP throwing him the ball. (31:18)


Liz and Matt discuss all this and more, so be sure to tune in!

First Round Recap: Burrow to Cincy, Dak gets another weapon and CEH, omg

Well, Round 1 of the first virtual NFL Draft is in the books. There were a few trades, but nothing completely eye-opening. Considering this draft set something of a precedent for the NFL, it actually went pretty smoothly ... for everyone but Aaron Rodgers. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon give their takes on Round 1 of the draft in the latest fantasy football podcast.

2020 Draft Team Needs: AFC

With the NFL Draft getting closer by the day, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are continuing to preview what lies ahead. This time, they look towards teams in the AFC.


And speaking of the draft, things will have a new spin this year, as teams will make their picks virtually. As such, you can imagine that Dave Gettleman is figuring out how to use a computer, while Jon Gruden thinks Zoom is the name of a wide receiver. Oh, and Pete Carroll has probably hoarded all the gum in the northwest Washington state area in anticipation for the draft.


[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]


What will the Bengals, Dolphins, Chargers, Jaguars, Browns, Jets, Raiders, Broncos, Patriots, Ravens, Titans, Chiefs, Colts, Texans, Steelers and Bills do when they’re on the clock? Liz and Matt discuss as well as break the news that the Houston Texans have acquired now-former Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks for the 2nd round pick acquired in the DeAndre Hopkins trade.

Early look at 2020 draft rankings & players on new teams

With the NFL Draft getting closer by the day, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon decided to reveal an early look at their 2020 fantasy football draft rankings on the latest podcast.


Rounding out the top three consensus picks are: Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Ezekiel Elliott. Our experts discuss more from their rankings, as well as where they disagreed farther down the ranks (Hint: Liz was the lowest on Lamar Jackson amongst the five experts, while Matt was the highest on George Kittle). (7:25)


And how about the big-name players who have switched teams this offseason? Should the likes of DeAndre Hopkins, Stefon Diggs, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Melvin Gordon, and Todd Gurley be drafted higher or lower than in 2019, based on their new teams? (28:35)

Gurley & Gordon find new homes, but where will Cam Newton land?

Well, it’s official: The Cam Newton era is over in Carolina.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss the Panthers releasing the former MVP and more a bit later on the latest fantasy football podcast.


First, two big-name running backs switched teams. The Los Angeles Rams released Todd Gurley, and he was subsequently signed to a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. (3:55)


The Denver Broncos signed free agent Melvin Gordon, adding him to a backfield that already contained Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. Our experts discuss what the moves mean for fantasy. (10:15)


Newton reportedly had a successful physical in Atlanta that proved his health, so, with that knowledge in tow, where do we think he’ll land? (18:30)


Out of the backfield and switching to out wide, Robby Anderson — signed with the Carolina Panthers (28:00) — and Breshad Perriman — replaced Anderson on the New York Jets — are off the free-agent board. (37:20)


Another wide receiver, Devin Funchess, signed with the Green Bay Packers, giving Aaron Rodgers a new ... weapon? (43:20)


Liz and Matt breakdown all those moves — and discuss sweatpants, lasagna and kumquats on another quarantine edition of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast.

Todd Gurley released, QBs on the move as Free Agency continues

What a YEAR this week has been! Tom Brady to the Buccaneers — could Antonio Brown join him? — Philip Rivers to the Colts, both DeAndre Hopkins and Stefon Diggs got traded, and Cam Newton gave a very Cam-Newton-like reply to the Panthers allowing him to seek a trade. (6:56)


All in a week’s worth of NFL Free Agency — and it’s not over yet. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss it all and more on the latest fantasy football podcast.


Another quarterback was on the move this week: The Jacksonville Jaguars traded Nick Foles to the Chicago Bears. (8:50)


Does this mean the Gardner Minshew era has begun in Duval? Should Mitchell Trubisky be terrified?

Elsewhere on the QB carousel, the Denver Broncos waived Joe Flacco due to what is being called a “failed physical designation.” Are they going all-in with Drew Lock — or are they about to make a move?


And in one of the more shocking moves of the day, the Los Angeles Rams announced they would be releasing star running back, Todd Gurley! (18:24)

And speaking of running backs, there is also reported mutual interest between Melvin Gordon and the Buffalo Bills.

Got all that? Good, because there’s probably gonna be more to come! (24:54)

Tom Brady waves goodbye to New England and more Free Agency talk

Technically, the free agency period for the 2020 NFL season actually starts on March 18th, but you would think we were midway through the period the way the deals have been flying!


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon talk about all the biggest moves made in the latest fantasy football podcast.


After a Monday that included a mind-boggling DeAndre Hopkins-to-the-Cardinals trade -- that our own Matt Harmon called the worst trade of all time -- and a late-night trade for Stefon Diggs by the Buffalo Bills, Tuesday came in strong as well.


It seems like Tom Brady, 6-time Super Bowl champ, is taking his talents to Tampa Bay. We'll look at how TB in TB will impact Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as well. (01:24)


Load up the kids into the RV, Phil Rivers is going to Indy. (09:26)


Our one word reaction to the Hopkins/Johnson trade: WTF! Okay, that's technically an acronym, but on the bright side Houston signed Randall Cobb tho. (12:23)


Stefon Diggs gets traded to Buffalo and adds another weapon to a sneaky good offense. (20:48)


If you listen closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment Matt's heart breaks in two: Cam Newton is likely to be traded or cut in Carolina... and will be replaced by Teddy Bridgewater. (28:37)


Bears add Jimmy Graham and Robert Quinn. But not all hope is lost, Chicago is reportedly interested in Nick Foles or Andy Dalton. (36:52)


Browns add Austin Hooper and Jack Conklin while fantasy football writers nationwide get ready to write about the loaded Browns offense ... again. (43:54)


Falcons replace Austin Hooper with former Raven Hayden Hurst. (45:32)


And our experts will continue to talk through all the news as the updates keep coming!

NFL Dysfunctional Franchise Power Rankings

This second week of March is not the busiest time in the NFL calendar. In the valley between the combine and the start of free agency, with an important labor vote potentially getting resolved over the weekend, NFL fans and prognosticators alike feel like they're about to crest the first drop of a roller coaster. Lots of anticipation. Not much action.


Have no fear, the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast still rolls out the important #content on a weekly basis. Inspired by last week's discussion of Amari Cooper's bumpy tenures in Oakland & Dallas, Matt Harmon & Liz Loza spend the podcast today doing their first annual NFL Franchise Dysfunction Rankings.


After a shared top 4 of the usual clown show franchises (hello, Dan Snyder!), the real arguments begin. Why are Matt & Liz so far apart on the Cowboys and Patriots? Are the Lions truly a bad franchise or is their consistency worthy of praise? Is the Bill O’Brien era in Houston a sign of operational competency or ineptitude? Why are our hosts so low on the Steelers? New logo aside, are the Rams truly a top tier franchise or are they teetering on the verge of being the Chargers?

7 combine takeaways and 5 free agent QB landing spots

Welcome back! Earlier this week, Liz Loza wrote on her top takeaways from the NFL Scouting Combine.


Liz and Matt Harmon take a deep dive into 7 of those takeaways and more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


Our experts run down the likes of Denzel Mims (who might be a unicorn) (9:00) and AJ Dillon who some experts are either rightly or wrongly comparing to Derrick Henry (15:40). Only time will tell!


They also discuss the prospects of Joe Burrow, and who might be the third quarterback drafted after him and Tua Tagovailoa (21:10).

Next up, our experts have a conversation about Matt’s recent piece where he wrote on logical fits for top NFL free agents like Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, and Teddy Bridgewater (33:55).

Brady on the move? Bucs on the QB hunt? The NFL Combine rumor mill is in full swing!

The NFL Scouting Combine has begun, and so too the rumor mill begins to spin. Everything from Cam Newton to Joe Burrow’s hands have already been discussed.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon run down those storylines and more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


ESPN's Jeff Darlington is reporting sources close to Tom Brady is evaluating free agency with the intention of departing. Is someone punking the American public or should you order your TB12 Las Vegas Raiders jersey right now? (3:45)


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers raised eyebrows when head coach Bruce Arians and General Manager Jason Licht spoke on the future of the quarterback position. Arians said he’d like to see "Tom Brady. Philip (Rivers) is another guy. We'll see." Jameis Winston’s days as Tampa’s starting QB might be numbered. (10:20)


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


The Buccaneers apparently aren’t alone in this either — seems like the Raiders might be open to a change as well if we’re to interpret GM Mike Mayock’s words in that way: “I’m very happy with Derek Carr. What I’ve told everybody I’ve been in touch with since I took this job is we’re gonna evaluate every position every year. If we can get better, we will.” (14:45)


Further north in the NFC South, the Panthers brain trust has opened up a little more on on the future of Cam Newton with the team. Could he be on the trading block? (18:05)


Ron Rivera and the Redskins' brass reportedly met with Tua Tagovailoa and Joe Burrow at the combine. Could the Skins really be exploring moving on from Dwayne Haskins, Jr.? (23:30)


After some rumors that Joe Burrow could pull an Eli Manning and turn his back on Bengals at the podium (and some hilarious talk of the size of his hands), he set the record straight, saying he’d absolutely report to Cincinnati. (27:10)


Elsewhere in the rumor mill, Dave Gettleman is saying Dave Gettleman things in New York about the Giants' fourth overall pick (29:15), while the Bears are taking their sweet time deciding what to do with Mitch Trubisky’s fifth-year option. (33:00)


Next up, our experts go into detail on Liz’s top prospects to watch at the combine: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma; Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama; Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama; D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia; JK Dobbins, RB, Ohio State; Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin. (36:40)

Greg Olsen lands in Seattle, 3 WRs to watch in the combine and offseason social media detectives

Since last week’s episode, some veteran faces who have been fantasy stars in the past have announced their return to the NFL in 2020.

Greg Olsen signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks. Drew Brees will return to the New Orleans Saints. Adrian Peterson will once again take the field as a member of the Washington Redskins. Even Jason Witten, who tried (and failed) his hand in the booth, stated he wants to play again.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss those returns and more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


The NFL Scouting Combine will start on Sunday, February 23, and our experts talk about rookies they’re most interested in, particularly Henry Ruggs III, Justin Jefferson and Antonio Gandy-Golden. (21:35)


Next up, Liz and Matt are delving into the strange world of social media. This is the time of year when NFL players are Instagramming and tweeting with unmatched relentlessness, oftentimes sharing obscure, mysterious posts which may or may not inadvertently reveal something about their playing future.


Liz and Matt discuss the very latest from that world, including Derek Carr Instagramming a picture of him and Khalil Mack, and Stefon Diggs deleting everything Vikings-related from his IG. (32:30)

Valentine's Day matchmaker with Philip Rivers, Amari Cooper and the 2020 free agent class

It’s the second full week of February, and for many folks, that means love is in the air — yes, Valentine’s Day.


And in the spirit of happy couples, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon decided to play matchmaker in the latest fantasy football podcast.


But instead of bringing couples to the perfect V-Day restaurant or pairing a significant other with the perfect gift, they’re taking the top soon-to-be free agents and placing them in a new team.


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


The first candidate is Philip Rivers, newly “single” after the Chargers and QB said their goodbyes (4:45). There’s Amari Cooper, on the market after being the odd-person-out in a highly publicized sugar-daddy situation (10:25).


Should Melvin Gordon look for love outside of LA? (16:40)


Are Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill meant to be? (24:45)


Where will the second chapters of Jameis Winston — who got LASIK surgery so now everyone will overdraft him in 2020 — and Marcus Mariota take them? (25:40)


Kenyan Drake was broken up with (freed?) by the Miami Dolphins and went on to produce successfully with the Cardinals — so is this pairing the real thing? (44:10)


These are just a few of the names Liz and Matt play cupid with — where do you wish your favorite free agents would land this offseason?

Looking at 2020 RBs, WRs, and TEs — and should Taysom Hill be FLEX eligible?

After yet another playoff comeback from a 10+ point deficit, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers to claim the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl LIV.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon recap their weeks in Miami (0:35) and big game (7:35) on the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


Elsewhere in the NFL, Matt asked Taysom Hill about his fantasy eligibility, and the do-it-all Saint delivered his answer. Matt thinks he should not have FLEX eligibility — what do you think? (21:55)


Speaking of shadowy quarterback situations, there continue to be reports out of Chicago that the Bears will add a veteran QB presence to challenge Mitchell Trubisky in camp. Liz & Matt speculate who that veteran passer could be. (29:15)

Finally, Liz and Matt run down their way-too-early rankings for running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. (34:15)

Chiefs vs 49ers: Taking a longer look at both backfields and Deebo vs. Mecole in 2020

With the big game just a few days away, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon preview the matchup and much more from Radio Row in Miami on the latest fantasy football podcast!


Before they get to that, breaking news out of Chicago: Mitchell Trubisky went under the knife to fix an injured shoulder. Could this cure his passing woes from 2019? Too bad it was his non-throwing shoulder that was injured the whole time. Loza continues to lament the QB situation in the Windy City. (0:35)


Later, our experts give their initial thoughts on staying down in Miami, plus their experiences on Media Night, where Liz got the cold shoulder from Tevin Coleman. (3:05)


The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs both provided a lot of fantasy goodness last season, and they’ll have some intriguing and interesting situations at both running back and wide receiver in 2020.


Raheem Mostert has established himself as the leader of the 9ers backfield in recent weeks, but considering how things were playing out early in the season (with Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida shining in individual moments), is Mostert worthy of high draft capital next season? On the other side of the spectrum, will Damien Williams finally be a trustworthy season-long asset, or will we be teased with the upside of Darwin Thompson yet again? (10:20)


At wide receiver, both teams have talented youngsters who will be entering Year 2: Deebo Samuel for the 49ers and Mecole Hardman for the Chiefs. The 2019 rookie wide receiver class was truly incredible — and an even better one might be coming in 2020. (15:25)

After discussing all that, Liz and Matt give their final thoughts and predictions for Super Bowl LIV! (22:25)

But we can’t forget about the teams the Chiefs and 49ers beat to get here. Liz and Matt give their thoughts on both the Titans and Packers — two squads that probably played beyond their means in these playoffs. (1:10)


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


Elsewhere in the NFL, the offseason has continued chugging along, especially in East Rutherford. After hiring Jason Garrett as their new offensive coordinator, the Giants are now linked to Freddie Kitchens. (13:15)


Speaking of the Giants, Eli Manning announced his retirement on Wednesday, and almost immediately the Hall Of Fame debate began — which side are you on? (19:40)


The Jaguars hired Jay Gruden as their new OC, but head coach Doug Marrone has kept talks of a 2020 starter at quarterback under wraps thus far. (28:00)


Our fantasy analysts published their way too early top 10 ranks at every position this week. Liz and Matt compare their notes on quarterbacks, and debate between Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes for the 2020 fantasy season. (32:00)


We’ll be back next week, live from Radio Row in Miami at Super Bowl LIV!

Divisional round recap, championship preview, and more coaching changes

The NFL playoffs have not disappointed thus far, giving Liz Loza and Matt Harmon a lot to discuss on the latest fantasy football podcast!

Kicking off the weekend, Kyle Shanahan, Robert Saleh and the San Francisco 49ers put on a show on both sides of the ball, completely dominating the Minnesota Vikings. Particularly impressive was the re-emergence of Tevin Coleman in the SF backfield. As always, the 49ers RB situation is hard to parse from a fantasy angle, but it demands your attention. (0:35)


In an immense upset, Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, and the Tennessee Titans continued their magic to knock off the Baltimore Ravens IN Baltimore one week after taking out Tom Brady and the Patriots IN New England. Derrick Henry, in particular, has been unreal in these playoffs, running for over 180 yards in consecutive weeks. Liz and Matt discuss whether the behemoth runner will be worth a top-five fantasy draft pick next season. (8:40).


The Texans-Chiefs game was absolutely nuts. The Texans were up 24-0 at one point in the game, yet lost 51-31 to quarterback-god, Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs. Sorry, Bill O'Brien and the Texans, but our hosts are at a loss on how to stop this team. (20:25)


Wrapping up Sunday's games, the Packers advanced to the NFC Championship on the backs of a great Aaron Rodgers performance and a greater Davante Adams performance. Pretty impressive considering the rest of the Green Bay WRs are Allen Lazard and a bucket of spare car parts. (25:50)


Elsewhere in the NFL, Kevin Stefanski was hired by the Cleveland Browns to be their new head coach, right after the 49ers shut down the Vikings offense (33:50). On the other side of the spectrum, the Broncos fired Rich Scangarello and replaced him with Pat Shurmur as offensive coordinator (39:10) and the Jaguars parted ways with John DeFilippo (43:35). Liz and Matt discuss these moves and what they mean for fantasy.


Finally, Liz and Matt pick this weekend's two conference championship games against the spread in Titans/Chiefs and Packers/49ers. (50:15)

The coaching carousel is in full spin and divisional playoff round preview

Happy New Year! A LOT has happened since our last episode, but Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are back to talk all things football in the latest fantasy podcast.


First up, the coaching carousel is in full effect, as one of the biggest pieces was knocked off the board. Jason Garrett is gone from Dallas, replaced by veteran coach Mike McCarthy, which feels a little bit like going from vanilla ice cream to ... artisanal vanilla ice cream. Liz and Matt explain why the move is probably good news for Dak and Zeke. (02:16)


Ron Rivera is now the new head coach of Washington, while the Giants went with former Patriots WR coach Joe Judge as their new HC (and Garrett might apparently not be done with the NFC East). (11:15)


Former Baylor coach Matt Rhule is the new HC for the Carolina Panthers. The Browns, however, are still exploring candidates like Josh McDaniels, Jim Schwartz and Eric Bieniemy. (14:15)


Liz and Matt discuss all these hirings and their impact on the fantasy landscape.


The Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs was a doozy: Kirk Cousins and the Vikings went to New Orleans and took out the Saints. (34:28) Derrick Henry barreled his way through Foxborough en route to a Titans upset, what's next for Tom Brady? (38:05) The Seahawks defeated an Eagles team that lost Carson Wentz to an injury just minutes into the game. (46:45) And Deshaun Watson led the Texans to a win over Buffalo. (51:56) Liz and Matt recap those matchups and then preview this weekend’s divisional round. (55:30)

Week 17 Preview: What went right and wrong in fantasy in 2019

Well, the fantasy championships are over — UNLESS your championship game is in Week 17. If you do, we are obligated by the fantasy overlords themselves to say: “Your league is crazy.” But, if you like to live dangerously, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon have you covered for Week 17 in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


First things first: with the Ravens sitting Lamar Jackson (and others) for their Week 17 matchup against the Steelers, is RGIII a viable starter in daily fantasy? (0:50)


Before we get to the rest of the Week 17 games, with 95% of leagues wrapped up for the year, there’s no time like the present to look back at the fantasy season.


What happened to the consensus top four — Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Alvin Kamara, and Ezekiel Elliott — this season? How did they finish the year? Was the consensus all wrong, or is this just part of variance? What about the rest of the guys drafted in the top 10? (4:20)


After his incredible 2019 season, could Lamar Jackson be next year’s #1 overall pick? (7:00)


And speaking of QBs, what do we make of the current top 10 — Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, JAMEIS WINSTON, Russell Wilson, Josh Allen, Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Matt Ryan, and Carson Wentz — going into 2020? Should the whole “Wait on a QB” strategy change? Should we be looking to target dual-threat quarterbacks only? (15:05)


Liz and Matt then look towards Week 17 and tell you the one thing you should look for in each game. (28:30)

Week 16 Recap: Strange gifts and performances handed out in championship weekend

Just in time for the holidays, the football gods gifted us a strange Week 16 to wrap up the 2019 fantasy football season. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss the wild Week 16 and the gifts they think each team received as a result of the weekend's games.


For example, the Eagles gifted Cowboys fans what appears to be the end of the Jason Garrett era in Dallas. (01:22)


Alvin Kamara found the end zone twice this week – his first scores since Week 3 – which might've been a gift that was too little, too late for his fantasy owners. Despite Kamara's season-long performance that didn't meet expectations, is he still a top 5 pick in 2020? (05:41)


Brett Hundley, of all people, staved off a late comeback attempt by the Seattle Seahawks after Kyler Murray left the Cardinals game with a hamstring injury. Perhaps more so than #1 pick Murray, the real gift in Arizona might be Kliff Kingsbury, who is proving himself to be a more than competent NFL head coach. (10:42)


Every Denver Bronco fan has been wishing for a QB ever since Peyton Manning hung up the cleats in 2016. Is Drew Lock the gift they've been waiting for? (13:48)


In a startlingly high-scoring game, the Giants and Washington went into overtime tied 35-35! Dwayne Haskins went down with an injury, but it didn’t appear to be too serious. Daniel Jones, on the other hand, went absolutely nuts, throwing for 352 yards and FIVE touchdowns. What can we expect from these two young quarterbacks in their sophomore year? (21:02)


Speaking of strangely high-scoring, how about those Bengals and Dolphins? Two months ago, this game looking like a snoozefest, and despite their bad records, these teams have set themselves up for interesting futures. (25:10)


All those games and more on the last Sunday-night episode of the season.

Week 16 Preview: What you need to know before your fantasy championship – and what's going on in Jacksonville?

It’s fantasy championship week (unless your chip is in Week 17 — if so, probably should change that), and Liz Loza and Matt Harmon have you covered with all things Week 16 in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $175K Baller. $10 entry fee and $15K to first place]


One of the biggest news items heading into the fantasy championship is Dak Prescott dealing with an injured throwing shoulder. Prescott himself has said he’ll be good to go for the Cowboys’ must-win matchup against the Eagles, but Liz and Matt discuss the potential fantasy ramifications this injury could have. (1:30)


Elsewhere on the injury front, star wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) will not be available for his fantasy managers as he was ruled out of Saturday’s game vs. the Texans. Breshad Perriman is expected to step into the WR1 role for the Buccaneers. What should we expect from Perriman and the rest of the fantasy assets in that game? (8:20)


Our experts then discuss their Christmas wishes for the 2020 Jacksonville Jaguars. The 2019 version of the time just went through an odd, tumultuous week culminating in the firing of Tom Coughlin (coaches are probably next). (12:20)


After doling out some more Christmas cheer to the struggling Rams & still-injured AJ Green (20:20), Liz and Matt then look towards Week 16 and tell you the one thing you should look for in each game. (27:40)

Week 15 Recap: Fringe playoff heroes and recap of a crazy semifinal week

What do Kenyan Drake, Breshad Perriman, Kenny Stills, Greg Ward, A.J. Brown, and Jamison Crowder all have in common?


They probably sent some fantasy managers to the championship in Week 16.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon recap those performances and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast. (02:51)


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


It was a wild Week 15, with plenty of touchdowns to go around, making for some undoubtedly high-scoring fantasy semifinal matchups.


Also, pure mayhem went down in the Bay area after the Oakland Raiders lost their final home game (14:27), and the San Francisco 49ers got shocked at home by the sorry Atlanta Falcons. (21:34)


Sadly, not only did Dalvin Cook go down in Week 15 with a shoulder injury, but he was immediately ruled out for the rest of the game, which hints at the potential severity of the ailment. Does Mike Boone enter league-winner status? (19:20)


Elsewhere in the NFL, the Kenny Stills, of all people, put the Houston Texans in the driver's seat for the AFC South with 2 TDs against the Tennessee Titans. (24:00)


Somehow, the Bears wide receivers — specifically Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller — are making things work even though Mitchell Trubisky is ... not amazing. (26:53).


At long last, Tyler Lockett returned to fantasy glory — but the Seahawks cannot play a normal game to save their lives (which might be good or bad, depending on what side of the fantasy fence you’re on). (29:34)


Saquon Barkley delivered two touchdowns (although, since they were his first since Week 7, it might have been too little, too late for fantasy managers). Oh, and Eli Manning is back to .500! (33:08)


Finally, Liz & Matt wrap up the show lamenting the complete no-show from the Los Angeles Rams and offensive explosion from the Dallas Cowboys. (35:52)

Week 15 Preview: Big injuries at the wrong time, and dreadful sits-starts for the semifinals

One of the best feelings ever is to know you’re going into the fantasy football playoffs with a completely healthy lineup. Unfortunately, the way Week 14 went, it’s hard to have a completely healthy team right now. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss all those injury losses and more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $175K Baller. $10 entry fee and $15K to first place]


The Philadelphia Eagles — who are trying to not only make the playoffs but beat out the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East crown — lost Alshon Jeffery to IR and Nelson Agholor’s status is up in the air for Week 15 against Washington. Now, their wide receiver corps is reduced to JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward Jr., someone named Robert Davis and ... who knows. Washington isn’t scot-free either, as Derrius Guice — who was showing off his potential in previous weeks — was placed on IR again with a sprained MCL. (2:00)


[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets. NJ only. 21+. Terms apply]


Two fantasy studs in Mike Evans and Marvin Jones were both lost for the season. Targets galore for Kenny Golladay and Chris Godwin, respectively, although fantasy managers should take note that Jameis Winston has been playing with a fracture in his hand. (8:40)


Next up, Liz and Matt discuss some of the worst players they’re being forced to start in the semifinals, along with some of the better players they might have no choice but to bench! (21:30)


Liz and Matt then look towards Week 15 and tell you the one thing you should look for in each game. (33:10)

Week 14 Recap: How the NFL playoff race is affecting your fantasy playoffs

Sadly, we regret to inform you that the Patriots' dynasty is over. Kaput. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss the state of the Patriots dynasty and much more in the latest fantasy podcast.


Speaking of contenders, they are few and far between in the NFL while there are a plethora of eliminated (or close to eliminated) teams. Yet, some of those teams are still putting up a fight. Liz and Matt talk about which teams are frisky (like the Broncos, Falcons, and Colts) and which teams are packing it in (like the Browns, Panthers, and Jaguars). (02:39)


The New England Patriots lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14, 23-16. The Texans beat them, 28-22, in Week 13. And we all know what the Ravens did to them a couple weeks ago. That’s three AFC contenders the Pats lost to. So ... what do we make of this? (23:29)


Elsewhere in the NFL, the aforementioned Texans (after that impressive win over the Pats) were embarrassed in Week 15, 38-24, by Drew Lock and the Broncos. Now, Houston is in a virtual tie at the top of the AFC South with the Titans, who have been BALLIN. How will this battle play out in the coming weeks? (28:21)


Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Week 14 was replete with injuries. Mike Evans, Jared Cook, DeVante Parker, and Derrius Guice all went down, among others. Liz and Matt discuss the ramifications of those losses. (31:01)

Week 14 Preview: Playoff injury roundup, Eli's last ride and one thought for each game

Week 14. The start of the fantasy playoffs. Whether you made the tournament or are on the outside looking in, it’s been a wild, memorable season, and it’s safe to say that the best could be yet to come.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss the start of the playoffs and the players you need to know about on the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $200K Baller. $10 entry fee and $20K to first place]


Though the fantasy playoffs are set to begin for many leagues in Week 14, that doesn’t mean they’re starting smoothly for every fantasy manager. Dalvin Cook suffered an injured shoulder on Monday night in Week 13, but does it mean Alexander Mattison will become more than just a stash (Cook did say he’ll be fine for Week 14)? (6:10)


Marlon Mack returned to practice (11:35), and Kerryon Johnson is reportedly eyeing a return in Week 16 — but should you stash him for the fantasy championship? Also, TJ Hockenson is headed to the IR. We do some Lions talk to get you prepared for the playoffs. (15:00)


Daniel Jones, is looking doubtful for Week 14 with an ankle sprain, so you know what that means: ELI IS BACK! Liz and Matt discuss the trickle-down effect for the Giants wideouts rest-of-season. (19:05)


Liz and Matt then look towards Week 14 and tell you the one thing you should look for in each game (35:10), as well as some DFS bonus bargains (1:00:00).

Week 13 Recap: Turkey day leftovers & a week for the underdogs

RIP to most Survivor entries. Our thoughts are with everyone who trusted Sam Darnold this week. Salute to those of you who trusted the likes of DeVante Parker and Derrius Guice in a must-win Week 13.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss all those performances and more from a crazy Week 13 the latest fantasy football podcast.


After recapping some of the Thanksgiving action (03:04), and the Ravens/49ers matchup of the day (14:04), Liz and Matt break down Sunday’s slate which was full of surprising underdog performances.


Devlin “Duck” Hodges and Benny Snell helped take down the Browns. (18:05)


The aforementioned Sam Darnold and the red-hot Jets? Embarrassed by the Bengals. (22:09)


DeVante Parker LIT UP the Eagles (7 catches, 159 yards, 2 TDs). (28:50)


Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry ruined many of the Colts’ playoff dreams. (32:13)


Gardner Minshew took back his rightful place as the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting QB in an otherwise troubling loss to the Buccaneers (36:11)


Derrius Guice went off (10 rushes, 129 yards, 2 TDs) in a huge upset over the Panthers. (40:57)


Elsewhere in the NFL, Darwin Thompson finally gets an opportunity in KC, the Rams offense awoke in shocking fashion against the Cardinals, Drew Lock got a nice QB win in his first start and Green Bay found their WR2 -- all hail the Lazard King!

Week 13 Preview: Turkey day action and a MNF beat-down

Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are back with a special Wednesday edition of the fantasy football podcast, ahead of the turkey apocalypse otherwise known as Thanksgiving!


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $200K Baller. $10 entry fee and $20K to first place]


But Thanksgiving is on Thursday, how about that you-know-what whoopin’ the Ravens put on the Rams on Monday night? Liz & Matt gush about Lamar, lament the Rams & preview the NFC West matchup between the Rams & Cardinals later in the week. Are we sure Arizona is the worst team in the division? (05:00)


Back to the holiday spirit, our experts run through all the Turkey Day action, starting with ... ugh ... Bears vs. Lions. In the event that the questionable Jeff Driskel can’t take the field on Thursday, his backup is, and this is not a mistake, David Blough. Blerg. Is there anything positive to take away from this matchup. Our experts try to find the marshmallows in this rotten bowl of sweet potatoes. (09:05)


They then move on to Buffalo vs. Dallas in what might be the most interesting matchup of the holiday. Both teams have been criticized for being weak against squads over .500. Which team will silence the doubters on Thursday? (12:01)


Finally, our football dinner ends with a dessert of New Orleans vs. Atlanta. Can New Orleans prove their surprising loss to the dirty birds two weeks ago was just an aberration? Or will this flightless Falcons team put up one last fight against a division rival before they pack it in for the season? (19:03)


After the Turkey Day discussion, Liz and Matt look towards the weekend and preview each game from the remainder of Week 13 and tell you the one thing you should look for in each game. (25:45)

Week 12 Recap: Backup RBs go off, more Wentz worry and is it N'Keal Harry time?

Sure, Christian McCaffrey and Nick Chubb had big days, as expected, but a lot of backup running backs had memorable outings in Week 12. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss the captivating performances from Rashaad Penny, Latavius Murray, Qadree Ollison, Benny Snell and more in the latest fantasy football podcast. (01:25)


Liz and Matt hit mostly every game from Week 12’s Sunday slate, including fantasy owners finally getting a solid look at first round Patriots WR N’Keal Harry. Should fantasy owners invest in the rookie or are there better options in the depleted New England receiver corps? (13:25)


Elsewhere in the NFL, we witnessed another disappointing outing by Carson Wentz. So, for the umpteenth time, what’s wrong with Wentz? (21:28)


The Browns went off in the Week 12, as everybody with fantasy value — Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt — ate, while on the other side, DeVante Parker turned 11 targets into six catches for 91 yards (for what it’s worth). (31:45)

Oakland got caught in a classic west-to-east trap game in East Rutherford. Matt & Liz take a look at Sam Darnold’s performance and the Jets’ light schedule to round out the season (36:30)


Don’t get your ponytail in a bunch, but Derrick Henry had himself a day against the Jaguars and Leonard Fournette got into the end-zone twice as well. Could Ryan Tannehill be the answer in Tennessee and man, it definitely seems like Foles is not in Jacksonville. (41:58)


John Brown is becoming (or rather, has become) one of the safest wide receivers to roster in fantasy (48:12), Mason Rudolph got benched one week after you-know-what, only to watch the Duck, Devlin Hodges, come in and help the Steelers get the W (51:30).


Liz and Matt discuss all that and more fantasy tidbits from Week 12’s games.

Week 12 Preview: Strong second-half rookies, are the Falcons good now and is Rivers washed?

Are we seeing the end of Philip Rivers? On a scale of 1-gross, how bad was Goff vs. Trubisky last week? Oh, and what’s going on with Nelson Agholor’s supposed burner account?


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss that and much more on the latest Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast, starting with the...shall we say...rough outing between the Rams and Bears last Sunday night. (1:30)


On Monday night, the Chiefs beat the Chargers in Mexico City, but most notable were Philip Rivers' 4 picks. Is the veteran quarterback nearing the end? (7:10)


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $200K Baller. $10 entry fee and $20K to first place]


Elsewhere in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been holding their own even though they’re dealing with a plethora of injuries to their top fantasy weapons. JuJu Smith-Schuster has already been ruled out, James Conner is questionable, and Diontae Johnson is in concussion protocol. Have the surprisingly .500 Steelers finally about collapse under the weight of injuries?(10:30)


Speaking of surprises, the lowly Falcons have won two games in a row by a margin of 55-12. What's behind Atlanta's sudden resurgence, and should we pay attention to this team in the second half? (16:25)


Next, Liz and Matt discuss some rookies who could provide strong second-halves, which could prove very useful in fantasy. Names like Noah Fant, Hunter Renfrow, Deebo Samuel (who could be in for some positive touchdown regression), Darius Slayton and Andy Isabella may be of potential interest if they're available in your league or if you're thinking about keeping them (21:40).


After discussing all that, our experts give one bit of advice for every game on the Week 12 slate (32:40), as well as some DFS bargains and fades (51:45).

Week 11 Recap: Kyler is heating up, Lamar is on fire and what's wrong with Watson & Wentz?

Four passing touchdowns. 222 passing yards. 86 yards on the ground. Just another day in the office for Lamar Jackson. The MVP front-runner (don't @ us, Russell Wilson lovers) is continuing his hot streak and despite losing this weekend, Kyler Murray is showing strong flashes that he could be Lamar Jackson (or Patrick Mahomes, or Cam Newton) 2.0.


Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don on a Week 11 Sunday night to discuss the results of the too-close-for comfort San Francisco 49ers win over the Arizona Cardinals (02:30) and the blowout win for the Baltimore Ravens over the Houston Texans (07:45).


Later in the show, our experts hit the rest of the Sunday games including:


- New England @ Philadelphia: What's wrong with Wentz? (19:35)

- New Orleans @ Tampa Bay: The Saints get right against the Bucs (21:15)

- Denver @ Minnesota: The Vikings finally allow a TD to a TE (29:30)

- Atlanta @ Carolina: The end of Riverboat Ron? (31:00)

- Dallas @ Detroit: It's a Bo Scarbrough revenge game! (36:30)

- Cincinnati @ Oakland: Perhaps Ryan Finley isn't the answer (40:30)

- Jacksonville @ Indianapolis: Marlon Mack fractures his hand (44:45)

- Buffalo @ Miami: Josh Allen finds his deep ball (52:00)

- New York Jets @ Washington: gross (52:25)

Week 11 Preview: Nick Foles is back, RBs to stash and WR3s to stream

Well, as fun as Minshew Mania was, it has indeed come to an end. Nick Foles is returning to the Jaguars this week, but what does it mean for the fantasy values of Jaguar studs like Leonard Fournette and D.J. Chark? (1:10)


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss that and much more on the latest Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $200K Baller. $10 entry fee and $20K to first place]


Elsewhere in the NFL, two of the top tight ends in fantasy won’t be on the field in Week 11. Austin Hooper will now be out for a month, and considering he’d been the top tight end in fantasy, we feel your pain, fantasy managers. Is Luke Stocker a viable fantasy option now?


George Kittle is set to miss another game, and unfortunately, it’s against the Cardinals, the team which has been friendliest to opposing TEs this season. Liz and Matt seek out TE dart-throws in the wake of these injuries for Week 11. (5:45)


As you very well know, it’s #HandcuffSZN, but beyond that, Liz and Matt list the running backs fantasy managers should be stashing — regardless of whether they’re rostering the lead backs in the same offense. (15:05)


Next up, our experts talk about the random group of wideouts in the top 30-50 who seem to produce week in and week out, and which of them are worth streaming based on their matchups. (23:40)


After discussing all that, our experts give one bit of advice for every game one the Week 11 slate (35:55).

Week 10 Recap: Barkley, Kamara, Johnson falter & a rare O.J. Howard sighting

Alvin Kamara. Saquon Barkley. David Johnson. There is no doubt that these three names were among the first six or seven picks in your league. Yet today, Kamara was only RB14 on the week and Barkley & Johnson...you don't want to know (1:21).


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss these star running back performances and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


Moving from the broad strokes of disappointing RBs to recapping the Sunday games:


- O.J. Howard made an extremely rare appearance in the Buccaneers' win over the Cardinals (19:26)

- Is it Rashard Higgins time in Cleveland after the Browns beat the Bills? (24:50)

- Ryan Tannehill turned some heads in Tennessee's upset victory over the Chiefs (27:50)

- Taylor Gabriel finally found the end zone in Lions @ Bears (34:30)

- Baltimore thrashed the Bengals as Lamar Jackson continues to be the most exciting player in the NFL (37:45)

- Don't let the Steelers fool you, their offense is still bad (41:30)

- Did Kalen Ballage establish himself as the starter in Miami? (45:10)

- Carolina @ Green Bay: what really constitutes a snow game? (48:30)

Week 10 Preview: Kareem Hunt is back – why you should avoid the hype

We have reached Week 10 of the fantasy football season — are you tired yet? Hey, fantasy fatigue is a real thing, and Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are here to help you get through it in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $250K Baller. $10 entry fee and $25K to first place]


It’s been an eventful week across the NFL. Cam Newton’s season is over, as the Panthers placed their (former) starting quarterback on IR (1:20). Evan Engram is now in a walking boot ahead of a same-stadium rivalry game between the Jets and Giants (8:55). Kareem Hunt is set to play vs. Bills after serving his suspension – what does this mean for Nick Chubb (11:45), and finally, quarterback god Patrick Mahomes is set to make his return from injury, and it begs the question whether his return will positively or negatively affect Damien Williams (17:50).


After discussing all that, our experts preview some interesting Week 10 matchups, including a pair of awesome primetime NFC matchups in Vikings/Cowboys (20:35) and Seahawks/49ers (25:10). After that they preview the rest of the Sunday Week 10 slate (29:00)


They then wrap up the show giving some daily fantasy bargains and fades for the week (59:00).

Week 9 Recap: Time for a QB change in PIT and CHI?

There was a lot of unimpressive quarterback play early in Week 9, but few signal-callers disappointed more than Mason Rudolph and Mitchell Trubisky. It’s not that they played terribly, but you just always seem to expect more from these passers considering their respective situations. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss these performances and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


No one realistically expected Mason Rudolph to be Big Ben 2.0, but considering that he has the No. 1 pass-blocking unit protecting him and strong weapons on the outside, his subpar performances aren’t cutting it in either fantasy or reality. In fact, if not for Jacoby Brissett going down with a knee injury early, the result of this game could have been different. And speaking of Brissett, Liz and Matt discuss the fantasy fallout of the Colts weapons — like Zach Pascal, who shined in T.Y. Hilton’s absence — if Brissett has to miss time and Brian Hoyer is the starting QB for Indy (1:15).


If you think Rudolph is sub-par, you can only imagine what Liz and Matt think about Mitchell Trubisky (11:15). Another game, another Bears loss, another crappy performance by Mitch. Oh, and DeSean Jackson, who just came back, got hurt again. Just horrible luck.


Elsewhere in the NFL, Damien Williams reappeared, rushing for over 125 yards while also out-touching LeSean McCoy (22:30). On the other side of the field, Adam Thielen re-injured his hamstring (but Stefon Diggs didn’t produce in his stead, unfortunately).


Devin Singletary may have finally asserted himself over Count Dracula I mean Frank Gore against Washington, as the electrifying rookie went off to the tune of 95 rush yards and 45 receiving yards (along with a touchdown on the ground). His older counterpart across the field, Adrian Peterson, had a solid game as well, rushing for over 100 yards (30:40).


In the late afternoon, Russell Wilson mustered his usual magic in the Seahawks' overtime win over the Buccaneers (36:20). In a game where Tyler Lockett looked incredible & D.K. Metcalf broke out, fantasy owners must consider that Seattle added Josh Gordon over the weekend. What can we expect out of Gordon on the 7-2 Seahawks?


Oakland's win over Detroit was about as exciting a fantasy matchup as we had this weekend (41:30). Our experts break down the Raiders' win and emergence as an offensive powerhouse.


Liz and Matt then continue their Week 9 recap with some quick fantasy hitters (45:15), like Kenyan Drake’s raucous Cardinals debut, Nick Foles impending return to Jacksonville, and Preston Williams’ league-winning potential (oh, and the Jets are bad).

Week 9 Preview: RBs to stash in the second-half and goodbye to Dalton & Flacco

With Liz Loza out Halloween-ing, Matt Harmon is joined by Yahoo’s very own Scott Pianowski for the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $250K Baller. $10 entry fee and $25K to first place]


And with Halloween on the mind, there are some scary situations in the NFL, starting the Steelers backfield, which is a true house of horrors right now. James Conner, Jaylen Samuels, and Benny Snell are all either dealing with injuries or trying to return from them. Seems like Samuels is ready to go, but nonetheless, Scott and Matt break down these situations (3:20).


From scary RBs to terrifying QBs, we got confirmation that Kyle Allen is returning under center in Carolina for at least one more week, even though it seems Cam Newton will be making his grand return soon (8:10), Andy Dalton was outright benched in favor of Ryan Finley for the Bengals (16:25), and an injured Joe Flacco will give way to Brandon Allen at QB for the Broncos (21:00).


Week 9 marks the beginning of #HandcuffSZN, as a prime second-half strategy is for fantasy managers to start adding handcuffs to elite running backs (23:00) Some options include: Alexander Mattison, Gus Edwards, Ryquell Armstead, Tony Pollard, Darrell Henderson, and Reggie Bonnafon. Mark Walton is another option worth adding who is actually a starter, and maybe even Darwin Thompson is a sneaky add?


Scott and Matt also discuss the value of Raiders players (like Tyrell Williams and Darren Waller) in the second half (36:25), as well as why you should be caring about second-half strength of schedule (40:05).


After discussing all that, our experts preview some interesting Week 9 matchups in Chicago vs. Philadelphia and Jacksonville vs. Houston (45:25). They then wrap up the show giving some daily fantasy bargains and fades for the week (52:35).

Week 8 Recap: Sanders & Montgomery finally emerge and Danny Dimes is your QB1

You know that moment when that player you’ve been waiting to go off, finally goes off?


We had a few of those on Sunday in Week 8. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon talk about those performances and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


Above all, the most “FINALLY!” moments of the week have to go to rookie running backs, David Montgomery (1:00) and Miles Sanders (5:50). You wanna talk about waiting for guys to go off, look no further. Montgomery (31 total touches, 147 total yards, 1 TD) and Sanders (6 total touches, 118 total yards, 1 TD, 1 2-point conversion) had great days, but the question Liz and Matt try to answer is: Are these performances for real? Can we trust them going forward? The Bears' las


Elsewhere in Week 8, Drew Brees returned but it was Latavius Murray who won the day (11:00). After taking over for an injured Alvin Kamara the last two weeks, Murray has been EATING, posting back-to-back 25+ fantasy point outings. That said, the party could end for Murray, as the Saints will go on bye in Week 9 and Kamara is expected to return to action in Week 10. On the other side of the field, Chase Edmonds, coming off a shocking performance in Week 8, got hurt against the Saints, but it’ll be hard to trust any Zona RB against the undefeated 49ers in Week 9.


Mike Evans exploded in Week 8 (198 yards, 2 TD). The same can’t be said, unfortunately, for Tennessee's wideouts (16:20). Most of us expected the likes of Corey Davis and A.J. Brown to continue their growth alongside Ryan Tannehill, but our expectations were not met (understatement).


After all that FAAB was used on Ty Johnson, the Lions continue to prove to us that their backfield is actually a minefield. Well, at least Matthew Stafford and Daniel Jones both had excellent fantasy days (22:20).


The Atlanta Falcons haven't missed a step (for better or worse). With Matt Schaub under center, he came close to replicating Matt Ryan's stats but have no fear, the Dirty Birds are still in the gutter (29:10).


How about those 49ers? Tevin Coleman went absolutely nuts (13 touches, 118 total yards, FOUR total touchdowns) and newcomer Emmanuel Sanders caught a touchdown on the 9ers first offensive drive. On the other side, Kyle Allen could do nothing against the vaunted San Francisco defense — so we can expect Cam Newton to return to the starting role soon when he’s ready (31:15).


Liz & Matt wrap up the show with the late-breaking news that J.J. Watt will miss the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral muscle (39:50). With an already shaky defense, how will the Texans adjust and could Gardner Minshew lead the Jags in a repeat stellar performance next week against Houston?

Week 8 Preview: Trade season, IR season, and how those top-ADP players are doing

With the NFL trade deadline less than a week away, some teams have already begun to make moves. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss those trades and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.


Mohamed Sanu and Emmanuel Sanders are both on new teams, and in better situations, too. Sanu is now on the undefeated Patriots, who lost WR Josh Gordon to the IR (0:50), and Sanders is on the undefeated 49ers (7:30). Liz and Matt discuss those trades and how they impact the fantasy landscape.


Gordon wasn't the only big name fantasy player to hit the injured reserve. The Detroit Lions placed RB Kerryon Johnson on the IR and our experts diagnose whether Ty Johnson, the most added player in Yahoo leagues, is the answer (13:00).


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $250K Baller. $10 entry fee and $25K to first place]


Earlier in the week, Yahoo Fantasy’s very own James Koh tweeted out a graphic of where the top players in ADP currently stand through seven weeks of the season and ... well ... it’s not pretty. To think, the likes of Odell Beckham Jr., Joe Mixon, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Saquon Barkley are nowhere near the top-20 at their position is unreal. Liz and Matt break down this stunning group and offer up some suggestions for dealing with the reality of this situation in fantasy (19:00).


After discussing all that, our experts preview some interesting Week 8 matchups in Tampa Bay vs. Tennessee (the Ryan Tannehill era is here!) and Philadelphia (can the Eagles get it together on offense?) vs. Buffalo (37:40). They then wrap up the show giving some daily fantasy bargains and fades for the week (46:45).

Week 7 Recap: Key injuries and re-injuries define the weekend

Liz Loza & Matt Harmon, unfortunately, have to discuss a LOT of injuries that occurred in Week 7, headlined by Patrick Mahomes being lost for about a month due to a kneecap injury suffered against the Broncos (1:00). Other big injuries fantasy gamers dealt with include Matt Ryan (ankle), Adam Thielen (hamstring), Kerryon Johnson (knee), and Ito Smith (head/neck), to name a few. Even Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley, who just returned from injuries, got banged up during their game. Liz and Matt discuss the fantasy implications of all those losses in this episode, particularly the Engram and Barkley re-injuries (13:15). Are players coming back too soon? Liz has thoughts.


Elsewhere in the NFL, the Vikings offense looked unstoppable against the Detroit Lions (18:30) and Aaron Rodgers delivered his game of the year thus far, lighting up Oakland for over 400 yards and six total touchdowns while sharing the wealth to EVERYBODY (22:00). Jared Goff and the Rams went back to their high-scoring ways, but are they back, or is this just a symptom of playing the Falcons (27:00)? (Then again, they play the Bengals next week, so there’s that). Deshaun Watson helped DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills, and Keke Coutee all enjoy productive fantasy days, albeit in a loss to Jacoby Brissett and the Colts (29:00).

Week 7 Preview: Rams make YOLO moves, Saquon is back and the TE wasteland

There’s a lot to talk about as we head into Week 7 of the NFL season, and Liz Loza and Matt Harmon cover it all in the latest fantasy football podcast.


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $250K Baller. $10 entry fee and $25K to first place]


First up, how about that trade the Los Angeles Rams swung for Jalen Ramsey? Talk about going for it all! The Rams went YOLO with their defense and the Jaguars got a decent haul and seem to be rebuilding on the fly better than a certain aquatic team in south Florida (1:00).


Elsewhere in the NFL, fantasy gamers are crossing their fingers that Saquon Barkley will return on Sunday for a plus-matchup against the Arizona Cardinals after practicing for two days straight (12:50).


And now, for a topic that most fantasy gamers have been frustrated with the past couple seasons: Tight Ends! Scott Pianowski recently shuffled-up the tight end position, and now that we’ve gone past “Peach Season,” (drafting the top TEs), it’s apple-picking season. AKA, Liz and Matt discuss which tight ends are worth adding off the waiver wire and streaming via matchup, names like Jason Witten, Dawson Knox, and both Houston Texan tight ends, just to name a few (17:40).


Somehow, Week 7 is cursing us with some BAD quarterbacks going against some BAD defenses. Liz and Matt discuss their thoughts on these matchups, like Ryan Tannehill (taking over the recently benched Marcus Mariota) going against the Chargers, Gardner Minshew vs. the terrible Bengals, and Daniel Jones taking on the Cardinals’ sieve-like defense (29:30).


After discussing all that, our experts preview a trio of Week 7 NFC matchups in the Vikings vs. Lions, Eagles vs. Cowboys and 49ers vs. Redskins (40:15). They then wrap up the show giving some daily fantasy bargains and fades for the week (46:35).

Week 6 Recap: Darnold returns, Vikings air it out and signs of danger for Chiefs & Cowboys

Week 6 was not without a few surprises, starting with Marcus Mariota getting benched against the Broncos in favor of Ryan Tannehill (0:45). Well ... “in favor” is probably not the best use of that phrase, as Tannehill was not much better against a Broncos defense that came to play.


Moving to games and teams that matter, Liz Loza & Matt Harmon break down the weekend's biggest storylines on this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast.


In the first of two home losses on Sunday for teams in LA, the Rams were handily beat at home by the division-rival 49ers (3:15). Yeah, we know the 49ers are for real now, but what should we make of the fading Rams and their indecipherable backfield?


Speaking of confusing backfields, what are the New Orleans Saints if they don't have Alvin Kamara or Drew Brees (9:30)?


Sam Darnold made his (glorious?) return to the New York Jets on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys and instantly, the Jets offense changed completely (13:40). It seemed like Mononucleosis may have made Darnold stronger, as he came out firing on all cylinders; by the time the fourth quarter was halfway through, Darnold had thrown for over 300 yards and two touchdowns.


But while Darnold’s absence due to an ailment ended, others emerged. Will Dissly — who seemed to be on the verge of a breakout — left with what is feared to be an Achilles injury during the Seahawks' victory in Cleveland. Matt and Liz breakdown the number of interesting storylines as a result of that game (22:50).


Other big matchups on Sunday included the Vikings-Eagles, where Stefon Diggs EXPLODED for 185 total yards and three TDs (27:30). That’s back-to-back weeks where a Viking receiver has gone off — but can we trust it, or will they revert back to the Dalvin Cook Show?


The Texans defeated the Chiefs, handing Patrick Mahomes and the team their second straight loss (34:10). Our experts break down this anticipated matchup, including this startling fact: Houston’s offensive line didn’t allow a single sack!


Curtis Samuel went off in London, while O.J. Howard collected just two catches amidst growing trade rumors (43:05)


Oh, and Adrian Peterson? Yeah, he had a big day (45:15). Listen in as Liz and Matt discuss the fantasy reverberations of all those matchups and more.

Week 6 Preview: What if Mahomes is really injured?

On Monday night, the 49ers put on a running clinic in against the Cleveland Browns, but it ended up coming at a heavy cost: The team lost both their fullback and their right tackle to injury. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon open the show this week discussing the prospects of Matt Breida, Tevin Coleman and play a little game of either/or with the San Francisco backfield (2:06).


There's a lot to consider in Kansas City with now that the injury bug has shown its ugly head. With Sammy Watkins getting hurt and Tyreek Hill not yet ready to return, Byron Pringle emerged against the Colts — but is he the real deal – and does any of that matter if Patrick Mahomes is hobbled with an injured ankle (9:15)?


In other news, Chris Herndon made fantasy gamers rage uncontrollably after he hurt his hamstring in practice — and this is after waiting for him to return from his suspension. Not great. Liz & Matt break down the frustrating Jets offense and recommend some sage for Gang Green (15:45).


Oh, and Christian McCaffrey scared the sh** out of everybody by missing practice with a back issue but he returned to a full practice (thankfully). With that said, McCaffrey’s backup, Reggie Bonnafon, impressed late against the Jaguars, making him arguably the most valuable handcuff in fantasy (24:15).


Mark Walton got promoted after Kalen Ballage ... Kalen Ballage’d. Is Walton on the fantasy radar? What about the rest of the Dolphins, who are playing a must-lose game against Washington this week (31:30).


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $300K Baller. $10 entry fee and $30K to first place]


After discussing all that, our experts preview a pair of sneaky-interesting Week 6 matchups in Houston/Kansas City and the London Bowl between the Panthers and Buccaneers (38:05), then wrap up the show giving some daily fantasy bargains and fades for the week (44:40).

Week 5 Recap: Big performances, and are the Panthers really better without Cam Newton?

You want to talk about big performances, look no further than Week 5. In the latest fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon recap those outings, and much more, and they’re joined by Psych and A Million Little Things alum, James Roday!


We can’t talk about big performances without talking about what Christian McCaffrey did to the Jacksonville Jaguars (1:30). Run-CMC racked up a whopping 237 total yards and three touchdowns on 25 total touches. Those are video game numbers. But after another monster day by McCaffrey, the Panthers are 3-0 during the Kyle Allen era. So, it begs the question: Are the Panthers — Matt’s ex-lover — a truly better team without Cam Newton?


Minshew-Mania stumbled against McCaffrey’s Panthers, but there were fantasy goodies to be had on the Jaguars side of the ball, too. Gardner Minshew (26/44 for 374 yards and 2 TDs), Leonard Fournette (137 total yards, 1 TD), D.J. Chark (164 yards, 2 TDs) all provided great days.


You’ll remember last week, the frustration about the Vikings passing had boiled over, especially with their two stud wideouts, Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Well, the coaching staff heard — sort of. Adam Thielen and Kirk Cousins had good days; Diggs, not so much. Across on the other side of the scoreboard, the Giants lost Wayne Gallman to a concussion. And while Saquon Barkley continues to build evidence of his inhuman nature, Liz and Matt discuss Vikings/Giants and whether Jonathan Hilliman is now on the fantasy radar (11:30).


Before the Sunday night clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts, Teddy Bridgewater was the third-highest scoring fantasy quarterback. Yes, that Teddy Bridgewater, thanks to 314 pass yards and four touchdowns — so maybe this offense isn’t as in trouble as we initially thought after the Drew Brees injury (19:30).


Back to the AFC South, the Will Fuller explosion happened, as the wideout turned 16 targets into 14 catches, 217 yards, and 3 TDs. His quarterback, Deshaun Watson, had a day too, throwing five touchdowns and totaling 473 yards through the air and on the ground (28:15).

Have to shout out Josh Jacobs too, who, going up against the vaunted Bears defense and playing overseas, went off for 143 total yards and two touchdowns (30:30)


Aaron Jones decided to put on his best Christian McCaffrey impression against Dallas, going off for FOUR touchdowns and over 180 combined yards (35:45). On the other side of the spectrum, Amari Cooper turned 14 targets into 11 catches, 226 yards, and a touchdown.


Big, unexpected performances indeed.

Week 5 Preview: The curious case of Stefon Diggs and an RB wasteland

It’s no surprise that the Minnesota Vikings have loved to run the ball in 2019. Like, LOVED it. Like, Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs have been suffering because of it, and so has every fantasy gamer who drafted one (or both) of the talented Vikings wide receivers. Thielen has voiced his frustration, but, in a surprise to the entire fantasy community, it was Diggs who missed practice for a non-football reason this week.


The trade rumor mill was unleashed. Liz and Matt discuss the Diggs situation and much more on the latest fantasy football podcast (0:20).


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $350K Baller. $10 entry fee and $35K to first place]


Diggs returned to practice on Thursday, but when asked about the trade rumors, he said, “There’s truth to all rumors.” #Spicy


Speaking of star wideouts, it seems like A.J. Green will be out longer than expected with injury. The rumors of a Green trade have surfaced as well (8:40).


More on the injury front: The Bears are set to play without the services of their starting quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, but could Chicago actually be better without him? Liz and Matt analyze the Bears (13:00), while also discussing the impending return of young Jets tight end, Chris Herndon (19:00).


Liz and Matt are then joined by Brad Evans to talk about the running back situation as it stands in fantasy right now, including Brad’s favorite, David Montgomery, as well as the Eagles and the resurgence of one Ronald Jones II (24:00).


After discussing all that, our experts provide some tantalizing daily fantasy bargains (38:00) as well as preview a pair of sneaky-interesting Week 5 matchups in Texans/Falcons and 49ers/Browns (49:20)

Week 4 Recap: Lions show signs of (fantasy) life, Nick Chubb explodes and is Brissett a QB1?

Week 4 has been ... interesting. After a bunch of random, waiver-wire-fodder players scored, many matchups that looked like they’d be easy wins for the favorites went down to the wire, including the game between the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs. Not only did the Lions defense surprise in holding Patrick Mahomes to no touchdowns, but Detroit’s fantasy assets showed out as well. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon break that game down and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast, starting with the Cleveland Browns offensive resurgence against the Baltimore Ravens (1:00).


Matthew Stafford, Kerryon Johnson, Kenny Golladay, and T.J. Hockenson all had great days in a losing effort for the Detroit but Liz and Matt ask, should we be paying the Lions more respect (7:00)?


Elsewhere in the NFL, Wayne Gallman lived up to many fantasy owners' hopes and dreams as Saquon Barkley's replacement (11:55). Gallman was the clear lead back for the Giants on a day that Daniel Jones was not at his best, and is expected to be just that as long as Saquon Barkley remains out. Speaking of that Giants game, Dwayne Haskins finally made his NFL debut in a plus matchup ... and it wasn’t great. Our experts debate whether he’s worth a stash in fantasy.


Speaking of quarterbacks, Jacoby Brissett has now delivered back-to-back high-scoring fantasy weeks (20:15). The question Liz and Matt aim to answer is: Do we consider Brissett a QB1 going forward?


Liz and Matt would be remiss if they didn’t address the fact that DeAndre Hopkins has now gone three consecutive weeks with quiet outputs after his Week 1 explosion. What do we make if it? Our experts discuss the Houston receiver and the Texans' receiver corps without Kenny Stills (26:40).


Gotta talk about the Rams-Buccaneers game, which was not only the highest-scoring game of the season so far, it’s the highest-scoring game in Tampa Bay history. Our experts break down that game and all the action that took place (33:30).


They wrap up with the exciting Thursday night game between the Packers and Eagles marvel at the Green Bay offense that is putting up points but doesn't seem to have it all together yet (36:50).

Week 4 Preview: Saquon gone, Melvin's back, and weird top-30 at wide receiver

The Giants dealt with a double-edged sword in Week 3. On the one hand, Daniel Jones took the reins of New York’s offense and delivered an awesome performance. Unfortunately, during the game, the Giants (and fantasy gamers) lost Saquon Barkley. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon talk about the reverberations of those events in this week’s fantasy football podcast (0:40).


With Saquon out for a few weeks, do we trust Wayne Gallman to carry the load? And can Daniel Jones continue to spread the ball around to his receivers in the weeks to come the way he did against Tampa Bay, without his star running back alongside him?


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $400K Baller. $10 entry fee and $50K to first place]


Elsewhere in the NFL, Melvin Gordon ended his holdout on Wednesday evening, and the screams of everyone who had been riding Austin Ekeler these past three weeks were heard the world over (4:40). But hey, it’s not all bad — Gordon won’t be active for Week 4; he probably will need a couple weeks before entering his full workload. So, to everyone rostering Ekeler: Enjoy the Miami Dolphins up next!


In their second trade in as many weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded a 2020 5th round pick for Seahawks TE Nick Vannett. Liz & Matt discuss what the trade could mean in both Seattle and Western Pennsylvania (11:10).


Liz and Matt are then joined by Dalton Del Don to discuss the strange wide receiver situation in fantasy, and how the current top 30 at the position is full of some unexpected names (SAMMY WATKINS IS NO. 3, FOR GOD’S SAKE). You’ll recall, Dalton wrote up a draft piece on the Zero-WR method. He discusses how his piece is reflected by this weird top-30 (21:55).


Speaking of wide receivers, T.Y. Hilton has been enjoying a great start to the season, but he’s now dealing with a quad injury. Our experts discuss recommendations for replacing him if he has to miss Week 4 vs. Oakland (30:35).


After discussing all that, our experts then preview some key Week 4 matchups (32:55) and close out the show with some daily fantasy bargains and fades (40:40).

Week 3 Recap: It's Daniel Jones and Kyle Allen's NFL, we just live in it

What if I told you that the top-scoring fantasy quarterbacks of Week 3 before Sunday Night Football would be Patrick Mahomes (duh), Russell Wilson (fine), Deshaun Watson (expected), DANIEL JONES (huh?) and KYLE ALLEN (what?!)?


I’d sound crazy, but in a week when 20 quarterbacks under the age of 26 started an NFL game, that indeed is the result at the quarterback position #TheFutureIsNow. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss those performances and much more in the latest Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast.


They open the show recapping a trio of games: the Lamar Jackson/Patrick Mahomes duel in Kansas City (0:35), Russell Wilson and Tyler Locket putting up some impressive numbers against the Saints (3:30) and and the disappointing Chargers showing at home against the Texans (6:05).


Kyle Allen and Daniel Jones showed out for their respective teams en route to impressive victories. Daniel Jones — who lost Saquon Barkley to an ankle injury early — attacked the Buccaneers with his arm and his legs, totaling four touchdowns (11:10). Allen helped showcase just how potent this Panthers offense can be, aiding Christian McCaffrey, Greg Olsen, and Curtis Samuel to big days (16:05).


Elsewhere in the NFL, the dominant 49ers from last weekend? They were nowhere to be seen, barely eking out a win versus the uninspired Steelers (23:45). Matt breaks down another week with his roller-coaster favorite team.


The Vikings continued to prove that this is the Dalvin Cook show, with some Adam Thielen sprinkled in (three catches, 55 yards, one touchdown, one rush, one touchdown) (27:20). It’s Cook’s third 100+ yard rushing game of the season.


Playing without DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, Carson Wentz and the Eagles primarily turned to Miles Sanders (126 total yards) and Nelson Agholor (50 yards, two touchdowns) in a loss against the Lions (30:55). How will this offense look when everyone is healthy again?


The Atlanta Falcons continue to put up great numbers for their fantasy owners, but have a hard time pulling away with the W in real life. Matt and Liz try to make sense of this confounding team (34:15).


No one is confused about Minshew Mania, however. Liz takes a victory lap after the Jags got their first win of the season against the Tennessee Titans and our experts wonder not when, but if Nick Foles will return (36:45).


Liz and Matt wrap up this episode talking pickups for Week 4, including Phillip Dorsett, Preston Williams and coming off his surprising Week 3 performance, Buffalo Bills tight end, Dawson Knox (41:30).

Week 3 Preview: New QB roundup, plus injured units in KC and PHI

If the story of Week 2 were the star QBs injured and out for the foreseeable future, then the story of Week 3 are the fresh faces we'll be seeing in their places. On this edition of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast, Liz Loza & Matt Harmon dive into the offenses we'll be seeing this weekend manned by unproven young passers.


First, Mason Rudolph is stepping in for Big Ben with the Steelers. How will the 2018 third-rounder fare versus a San Francisco team that stomped all over Cincinnati last weekend (1:35).


With Drew Brees reportedly out for six weeks, will we see our first QB-by-committee in New Orleans, led by Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill (7:15)?


Who is Kyle Allen and why is he being discussed in my fantasy podcast? Liz & Matt are surprisingly excited about Cam Newton's backup in Carolina and the loaded cast of skill players at his disposal (12:20).


Finally, it's the end of an era in New York. With Eli Manning passing the torch to Daniel Jones this weekend in Tampa Bay, this can't possibly be a downgrade for the Giants, right (16:25)?


The injury monster reared its ugly head of late, and it has not stopped terrorizing the league since. David Njoku took a brutal hit on Monday Night Football, fracturing his wrist and leaving the game with a concussion. DeSean Jackson is out with a hip strain, and he’s not the only Eagle dealing with ailments. LeSean McCoy looked set to get his first start in the Kansas City backfield ... and then he hurt his ankle. Luckily, there’s no structural damage, but both he and Damien Williams are questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the Ravens.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are joined by Yahoo's very own Andy Behrens to process all these injuries and who could be the beneficiary of these absences this weekend (24:15).


[Play in Yahoo’s NFL $500K Baller. $10 entry fee and $50K to first place]


After discussing all that, our experts then preview some key Week 3 matchups (39:45) and close out the show with some daily fantasy bargains and fades (45:50).

Week 2 Recap: Niners and Chiefs roll and time to give up on Cam?

The San Francisco 49ers didn’t do much to impress, fantasy-wise, in Week 1. They did win, 31-17, but it was their strong defense that stole the show. Well, things changed in Week 2, as everything on the offensive side of the ball seemed to be working for the Kyle Shanahan-led unit en route to a 41-17 domination of the Cincinnati Bengals. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon break down that performance and more in this week’s Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast (0:20).


Can’t mention the 49ers without mentioning the fact that Matt chose them to be the team he’d be a lifelong fan of in 2019, and he’s definitely pleased with his choice after Week 2. Jimmy Garoppolo, Deebo Samuel, Marquise Goodwin, Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson, and Matt Breida all shined individually in this game.


While the Niners looked great, it called into sharp contrast Matt's previous lifelong favorite team: the Carolina Panthers. Liz & Matt debate the Panthers' crushing Thursday night loss and whether fantasy owners should give up on Cam Newton (3:30).


Elsewhere in the NFL, a tale of two tight ends: Will Dissly shined with two touchdowns, while O.J. Howard continued to disappoint in Tampa (7:00). Speaking of disappointments, the Steelers continued to struggle on offense with and without Big Ben (10:10).


The Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs continue to be great, although the lack of a running game — and a Sammy Watkins repeat (though he did have 13 targets) — were a bit alarming considering the Raiders were beaten early in this game (14:35).


Fantasy gamers suffered through the entire Rams-Saints game with bated breath, awaiting word of the extent of Drew Brees’ injury (22:25).

One team with very few worries right now are the Dallas Cowboys, who are getting great production out of just about everybody (28:25).


Liz and Matt wrap up this episode talking pickups for Week 3, including the ageless, probably immortal Frank Gore (32:50) and all of the Jacksonville wide receivers (35:35).

Week 2 Preview: Jets and Chargers injuries emerge, 'Tilted or Jilted'

Well, the Week 2 action is here, but we’ve already begun dealing with the injury monster. Once again, Hunter Henry has fallen victim, this time thanks to a fracture in his left knee. His fellow Charger, Mike Williams, is also dealing with a knee injury of his own. Sadly, Derrius Guice underwent surgery for a torn meniscus and will be sidelined for about eight weeks. Quincy Enunwa is out for the year with a neck injury.


Oh, and speaking of Jets, quarterback Sam Darnold will also miss some time ... with mono. It’s been rough being a Jets fan of late, to say the least.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon break down all those injuries on this week’s Yahoo Fantasy podcast, starting with the weirdness in East Rutherford (0:20), moving to the bad vibes in LA (6:40) and wrapping up with Guice's Thursday morning surgery with Dr. James Andrews (10:35).


Liz and Matt are joined this week by the human sports encyclopedia, Scott Pianowski to go through some overreactions to Week 1 — specifically, which players have left them jilted or tilted from the likes of Tyler Lockett, Corey Davis, Aaron Rodgers, Devin Singletary and Geronimo Allison (15:50).


Our experts then preview some key Week 2 matchups (31:25) and close out the show with some daily fantasy bargains and fades (44:15).

Week 1 Recap: Rookie WRs go off in Week 1, rookie RBs...not so much

Before we get into all the most important talking points of the first Sunday of Week 1, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon would be remiss if they didn’t talk about the mind-boggling Antonio Brown situation (0:10). This is the stuff conspiracy theories are made for. After all the craziness of AB’s extremely short-lived tenure with the Raiders, Brown is now a member of the New England Patriots. Tom Brady will now have the luxury of throwing to Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, and Brown.


Can’t make this stuff up, folks.


But let’s move onto a wild football Sunday, starting with the tie in Arizona (5:05). Was the come-from-behind stalemate a good sign for Kyler Murray and Kliff Kingsbury's air raid offense?


Jacksonville’s offense suffered a massive blow on Sunday, losing quarterback Nick Foles to a broken clavicle. Rookie Gardner Minshew entered and threw the football well, but the Jags couldn’t keep up with the Chiefs machine (10:00). What does this mean for the outlooks of Leonard Fournette, Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley (who all had their moments on Sunday)?


Liz and Matt then run down some of the rookie performances on Sunday, and, well, the rookie receivers outclassed their running back counterparts (16:30). Led by Marquise “Hollywood” Brown (4 catches, 147 yards, 2 TDs), A.J. Brown (3 catches, 100 yards) and Terry McLaurin (5 catches, 125 yards, 1 TD) showed OUT early, while Devin Singletary (4 rushes, 70 yds/5 catches, 28 yds), David Montgomery (10 rushes, 18 yds/1 rec, 27 yds), and Miles Sanders (11 rushes, 25 yds/1 catch, 2 yds) had their moments, but couldn’t outshine the receivers.


We received as hard of a confirmation as we could have possibly gotten from the Minnesota Vikings’ new offensive philosophy, as running back Dalvin Cook took his 23 touches for 113 total yards and two TDs (35:40). For comparison, Kirk Cousins had just 10 passing attempts. One confirmation we didn’t receive this week was the expected high-flying Browns offense, which totally bottomed out this week.


Baker Mayfield had an ugly day, throwing three picks, and the offense just couldn’t get any consistency going against the Titans (39:00). On the flip-side, the Baltimore Ravens had EVERYTHING going on Sunday, crushing the Dolphins, 59-10. Lamar Jackson silenced his haters (at least this week) by throwing five touchdowns and completing 85 percent of his passes. Oh, and he had just three rushing attempts.

Week 1 Preview: Zeke's back, AB is not

In this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon tackle some of the biggest news of the NFL ahead of Week 1, and you’d be hard-pressed to find bigger news than Antonio Brown’s supposed, impending suspension. After a reported altercation between AB and Raiders GM Mike Mayock, it seems like any wishes fantasy gamers had of a resurgent AB in Oakland are going up in smoke.


Before they get to AB, Jerry Jones gave Ezekiel Elliott the richest RB-contract in NFL history, and the star runner is set to take the field in Week 1. Our experts discuss the fantasy fallout of Zeke’s return, including the subsequent dimmed outlook for Tony Pollard (0:20).


Also in the news, OBJ is still being bothered by his hip injury (7:15). What can fantasy owners expect out of the electric receiver? From one stud receiver to another, Julio Jones' status for opening weekend is also in question (9:30). To wrap up the receiver talk, Matt & Liz discuss the latest soap operatics from Oakland's erratic Antonio Brown (15:15).


Liz and Matt are then joined by Yahoo’s very own, The Reverend, Andy Behrens. They reveal some of their boldest predictions for 2019, including Andy’s call of Larry Fitzgerald leading the NFL in receptions, Liz expecting Jimmy Garoppolo to finish as a top-15 fantasy QB, and Matt predicting that Miles Sanders ultimately outscores fellow rookie running back, David Montgomery, on route to a top-15 finish (20:50).


Finally, they wrap up the show with a preview of Week 1, focusing in on Lions/Cardinals, Steelers/Patriots, Chiefs/Jaguars and Rams/Panthers (44:00).

All those crazy Texans trades, plus PPR receiver roundup

In this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon call each other early on Labor Day morning to go over the weekend's whirlwind roster moves starting with the one guy who can't quite decide if he wants to show up for work this week: Ezekiel Elliott (1:00).


They keep it in Texas and move to the Houston Texans' bevy of trades which saw them lose Jadeveon Clowney but add Laremy Tunsil, Kenny Stills and Carlos Hyde. Liz & Matt analyze this suddenly new-look Texans offense (4:55).


In other weekend moves, Liz & Matt discuss the Kansas City Chiefs signing LeSean McCoy (13:40) and the Patriots shuffling of Josh Gordon and Demaryius Thomas (18:50).


Next up, our experts take a deep dive into the players who are often overlooked in the wide receiver landscape, but can prove to be PPR assets this fantasy season. The slot receivers who often don’t get the star treatment of their outside-counterparts but who do a lot of the dirty work on the field. Liz and Matt talk about the fantasy outlooks of slot receivers like Adam Humphries, Hunter Renfrow, Cole Beasley, Trey Quinn, Jamison Crowder, and Willie Snead (21:05).


Finally, they wrap up the show taking a pair of listener voicemails on what to do in the fifth round of drafts and the oddities of return yardage leagues (39:45).

Overvalued/undervalued, McKinnon stays sidelined and AFC East preview

Another day, another curveball for the 49ers backfield. After reports that Jerick McKinnon is suffering a setback in his ACL recovery, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss the San Francisco backfield and how, while the news is disappointing, it actually adds clarity to the previously foggy RB situation (1:10).


Later, our experts are joined by Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com to debate players whom they’re wayyyy off the consensus on (6:40). Some of these players include Mark Ingram and Stefon Diggs (who our experts are higher on than most) and James Conner and Kyler Murray (lower on than the consensus).


Our experts then preview the AFC East New England Patriots (33:30), New York Jets (39:30), Buffalo Bills (45:20) and Miami Dolphins (49:20).

Luck retires, Cam's foot, Lamar Miller's ACL and NFC East preview

To the surprise of pretty much the entire sports world, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck announced that he was retiring from football on Saturday, August 24. If you can imagine the shockwave Luck’s retirement made throughout the NFL, then the reverberations his decision have made and will continue to make in fantasy football are just as big. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon break down the stunning events in this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast (0:30).


Jacoby Brissett will now be the starting QB of the Colts. Liz and Matt give their thoughts on Brissett being a viable fantasy option now that he’s at the helm of this offense. And speaking of which, what does this all mean for the fantasy weapons of Indy? Big names like T.Y. Hilton, Marlon Mack, and Eric Ebron all have to be viewed in a different light in fantasy drafts (12:40).


Elsewhere in the NFL, Cam Newton went down with a sprained left feet during the Panthers third preseason game against the Patriots. Lots of optimism surrounded Newton after he showed off a new throwing motion and some pretty deep ball completions in training camp. Panthers GM Marty Hurney said the team is “cautiously optimistic” that Newton would be ready by Week 1. Liz and Matt give their thoughts on the matter (21:15).


The Houston Texans' Lamar Miller also went down with an injury over the weekend and the worst was confirmed, as he was placed on the IR with a torn ACL. Matt & Liz discuss the confusing RB situation in Houston and ask whether the Texans' starter is even on their roster right now (22:45).


Our experts then preview the NFC East New York Giants (27:50), Washington Redskins (40:30), Philadelphia Eagles (44:20) and Dallas Cowboys (50:40).

Josh Gordon is back, D.K. needs surgery and NFC West preview

In this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon open the show with the news that Patriots WR Josh Gordon has been reinstated (1:50). They discuss the fantasy outlook for the troubled wideout and the bare cupboard of Patriots pass-catchers.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]

Andrew Luck's mysterious injury, 4 WRs to avoid and AFC South preview

Well, this isn’t good. After a report that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck would probably not play the entire preseason this year because of a calf injury, Colts’ owner Jim Irsay said it’s a bone issue. And before talking about this “small little bone,” Irsay referenced Kevin Durant (we all remember what happened to KD’s Achilles in the NBA Finals) and how everyone is erring on the side of caution after the new Brooklyn Net’s injury.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


This is obviously not the news fantasy football gamers want to hear in regards to Luck. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon try to make sense of it all in this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast.


Is it his calf? Is it his ankle? What “small bone?” Luck is one of the few quarterbacks who can actually challenge Patrick Mahomes for the title of top fantasy QB in 2019, as Luck’s situation in Indy is arguably the best it’s ever been since he was drafted. Yet, what does this injury mean for his fantasy value (1:20)?


After discussing this bit of bad Luck (get it?), Josh Norris of RotoWorld calls in to help Matt and Liz put some players on notice. They warn fantasy owners about the likes of Nelson Agholor, Rashaad Penny, Dante Pettis, Sammy Watkins and Jarvis Landry (7:00).


Josh and our experts then preview the AFC South Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and aforementioned Indianapolis Colts for fantasy (28:00).


To wrap up the show, Matt & Liz take a listener voicemail about the Los Angeles Rams confounding backfield situation (47:10).

Pre-season week 1 overreactions and NFC South preview

Well, we’re just about to enter the second week of the NFL preseason, and already the fantasy hype meters for quite a few players have either skyrocketed or plummeted. You can imagine the overreactions that come from all that. So it is fantasy overreaction day on this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


But before they can get to preseason overreactions – Liz Loza & Matt Harmon analyze the great Antonio Brown helmet overreaction of 2019 (0:25).


Back to some impressive preseason performances, Liz & Matt discuss the Friday night 84 yard, 1 TD performance from James Washington — who is battling for a top-3 WR spot with the Steelers — and is now slated to go the Hall of Fame after his performance against the Buccaneers. They also use the weekend's games to anoint Royce Freeman, Dexter Williams, Rashard Higgins, Jamison Crowder and Spencer Schnell to the HOF...or at least discuss their fantasy value for this season (10:35).


Also on the show, Matt gets all upset about the Duke Johnson trade to the Houston Texans (30:35)


Next, Liz and Matt continue their divisional previews with their roundup of the NFC South New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (38:48)


Finally they take some listener voicemails including one from a very frustrated fantasy commish struggling with the yearly August task of finding a time for his league to draft (55:20).

Should you avoid drafting Ezekiel Elliott & Melvin Gordon?

Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are joined in this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast by a familiar face (and very familiar voice), the Big Noise himself, Brad Evans!


Before they can get to the regularly scheduled program, Liz, Matt and Brad have the great David Montgomery debate of 2019 (1:00). Friendships will be tested. Minds will be opened. Chicago running backs will be discussed.


Next, they dissect one of the looming stories of fantasy draft season: The major holdouts of Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott (8:45). We already went through a tough year (or lack thereof) with Le’Veon Bell last season, and nobody wants to deal with that again.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


So, our experts discuss how to manage holdouts in fantasy. As the holdouts cause the running backs to fall in drafts, when is it the right time to scoop them up?


Speaking of running backs, Liz, Matt, and Brad discuss the runners of Round 1 (19:45). How many should go in the round? Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and David Johnson seem like virtual locks, but what about the likes of James Conner, Melvin Gordon, Le’Veon Bell, Joe Mixon, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook — and even Todd Gurley?


Our experts finish up by previewing the AFC North Cleveland Browns (26:45), Baltimore Ravens (31:20), Pittsburgh Steelers (38:10) and Cincinnati Bengals (49:10).

2019 strategy, 2018 apologies and NFC North preview (with the Fantasy Footballers)

Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are joined in this week’s Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast by three very special guests. Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright — the Fantasy Footballers themselves — are here!


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


The Fantasy Footballers discuss their history, how they came to be and how they grew to become the fantasy powerhouse they are today (2:15). Yahoo Fantasy listeners already know Liz and Matt's strategies like the “Zero-RB” theory and the “Just-Don’t-Draft-Anyone-On-The-Giants-Or-Bengals” strategy. Andy, Jason, and Mike also reveal some of their key strategies for this year (10:35)


Next, the crew reveals some of the 2018 fantasy takes they’d like to apologize for, in the spirit of Le’Veon Bell apologizing to fantasy gamers who drafted him last season (24:10).


Finally, Liz and Matt begin their forthcoming NFL divisional breakdown for August with the NFC North and the Chicago Bears (36:05), Detroit Lions (43:10), Green Bay Packers (50:50) and Minnesota Vikings (59:05).


They wrap up the show taking a few listener questions on Derrius Guice, players to watch out for in the preseason and whether Patrick Mahomes is worth being selected in the 2nd or 3rd round (1:05:30).

Early injury reverberations, drumbeats, and Hollywood tales

Training Camp is in full swing, and players are already doing their best to show out. Unfortunately, not all is well. As players begin to up their intensity, so too does the risk of injury rise. We’re seeing some big names banged up already, with the biggest headline involving A.J. Green, who suffered yet another lower-body injury, this time to his ankle. He will reportedly not be on the field for a couple of regular season games. The Bengals have been hit hard by injuries to the O-line too — so what should fantasy gamers do about this team (3:50)?


Liz and Matt help fantasy gamers sift through the early wave of injuries in this week’s fantasy football podcast.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


Elsewhere in injury and transaction news, Matt and Liz cover the Lions cutting RB Theo Riddick and the health scares caused by Titans RB Derrick Henry and Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (22:15)


On to a more positive note, the fantasy drumbeat continues to grow for key players (26:15). Curtis Samuel, a Harmon favorite, continues to shine in camp. Jordan Howard is reportedly getting first-team reps with the Eagles thus far, which may damper the thoughts of Miles Sanders’ truthers. Kalen Ballage continues to be a thorn in the side of fantasy owners waiting for that Kenyan Drake breakout season.


Liz and Matt then bring up some true Hollywood tales, including that time Ryan Phillipe saved one of Liz’s kids, and who might be her fantasy savior this season (34:20).


Oh, and before we go: With football season in full effect, we will be returning to twice-a-week episodes starting next week!

Thirst-trappers, NFL villains, and player props

Let’s face it: Every single fantasy football draft season, we as fantasy gamers all fall in love with that one specific player that we become convinced is gonna go off. Whether it’s the hype or the analysis or the predictions, we’re certain that this player will take us to the fantasy promised land.


And then it all goes to crap, and the player either does nothing or fails to meet any and all expectations. We get thirst-trapped.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


For many, the 2018 version of that thirst-trapper was Royce Freeman (sorry Brad). But hey, it happens to us all. People got thirsty for Freeman. So, who are people getting thirsty for this season?


In this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon identify the players who fantasy gamers are set to be thirst-trapped by (4:30). They include Geronimo Allison, Darrell Henderson, Austin Ekeler, Derrius Guice, and Kenny Golladay, to name a few.


Next, our experts talk about the experience of being at Comic-Con last week, where Marvel revealed a plethora of movies for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Thanos out of the picture, the MCU has a hole where villains should be, but the NFL and fantasy sure don’t.


Yet, where there are villains, there’s the chance for redemption. So, Liz and Matt choose who the football villains of 2019 are and whether they deserve another shot (22:30). Are we to forgive the likes of Corey Davis, Leonard Fournette, Marquise Goodwin, Devin Funchess, and Trey Burton?


Finally, Liz and Matt talk through some player props for the 2019 season (42:00).

Strange fantasy takes from the upside-down and 2019 NFL divisional futures

As much as summer is full of outdoorsy activities, it’s also a season to binge watch TV shows (the television and air conditioner are especially enticing when it’s 100 degrees outside).


In this episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon investigate some fantasy takes through the lens of their latest obsession: season three of Stranger Things. They talk about some NFL takes that might be could be from the upside-down but might be more likely than you think, including:


- how Royce Freeman could be Denver's top back this year (4:40)

- why Tom Brady should be ignored in drafts (11:10)

- why the Cardinals' run game will be more impressive than its new-look passing attack (17:25)

- a claim that a certain ornery Giants WR could maintain fantasy relevance on an otherwise crappy team (26:00)


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


Moving away from strange scenarios, Liz and Matt look to 2019 NFL future bets and go through some divisional winner odds, picking out some value picks and some stay-aways (31:40).

Melvin Gordon drama, late-round QB strategy and 2nd year breakout candidates

Fantasy Football players awoke to the news that stud running back Melvin Gordon was holding out against the Los Angeles Chargers in an attempt to receive a new contract. According to Gordon, he will not be reporting to camp until a new deal is made. If no deal is made, he will demand a trade!


Matt Harmon and Liz Loza break this news down and much more in this week’s Fantasy Football Podcast episode (2:15).


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


If Gordon indeed lives up to his demands, does this affect your thoughts on his fantasy draft value? He’s been a perennial first-round talent the last couple of seasons, but as we’ve seen with Le’Veon Bell, a draft-day fall could be in the cards for the Chargers RB. On that same note, does Austin Ekeler become more than just a handcuff now?


Liz and Matt then move onto quarterback strategies for fantasy drafts. They’ve preached waiting on a QB as opposed to investing a high pick on names like Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson too early. They talk about which QBs to target and which to avoid if you wait on QB until the late rounds (7:05).


Our experts then return to the 2018 draft class, the class that gave us the likes of Baker Mayfield and Saquon Barkley. Liz and Matt take a long look at the class and see which now-second-year players — guys like DJ Moore, Sony Michel, Kerryon Johnson, and Hayden Hurst — are set to take a Mahomes-level sophomore leap this season (22:20).


Finally, Liz and Matt reveal some early draft trends they’ve noticed from their time in the Scott Fish Bowl this year (46:25).

Best Ball is here — and let's declare independence from crappy takes!

Summer is here, and that’s not the only thing to get excited about. In this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon talk about the launch of Yahoo’s new game, Best Ball (1:50)! Yahoo Fantasy Best Ball launched on desktop with free public leagues and will be launching on mobile later this summer, along with private and paid leagues.


If you’ve never played or never heard of Best Ball before, it’s a format that removes the week-to-week roster management and automatically starts your best players every week. Doesn’t get any more convenient than that. Best Ball highlights the best part of fantasy (the draft) and takes away the grind of the regular season.


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


You’ll draft 20 players overall and every week the highest scorers at each position will be automatically added to your lineup. That’s 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 FLEX & 1 DEF/ST (nope, no kicker).


No adds, drops, or trades. Best Ball is about your drafting skills and your ability to construct strong rosters. And since it automatically chooses the highest scorers at each position, that means you won’t have to worry about that random Sunday where DeSean Jackson goes nuts for 170 yards and 3 TDs — on your bench.


Next up in this episode, Liz and Matt wanted to talk a little bit about independence (20:15). With the 4th of July around the corner, they decide to declare themselves independent from all those fantasy football takes that suck. Things like not drafting a guy because he did nothing for you the year before.


What fantasy football takes are you canceling this year?

TE strategies, RB/WR 'stayaways' — and is Brett Favre coming back!? No.

So, how high are you drafting Brett Favre in your 2020 fantasy football drafts? By now you’ve no doubt come into contact with the random, now-deleted Instagram post from the man himself claiming to be coming out of retirement for the 2020 season. So, because why not, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon start this week’s fantasy football podcast trying to answer the question: Where should Favre be in the 2020 fantasy QB rankings?


In more believable news, Kyle Rudolph — who was recently speculated to be a trade candidate — signed an extension with the Minnesota Vikings. So, with this new information, who is the more draftable Viking tight end: Rudolph, rookie Irv Smith, or neither?


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


On the subject of tight ends — which were such a headache in 2018 — Liz and Matt offer some general strategies for drafting them (4:35). Are they reaching for the top tier trio of Zach Ertz, Travis Kelce, and George Kittle, or are they waiting to fill the position? And if they wait, what are their thoughts on streaming tight ends week-to-week from the later rounds?


Next up, Liz and Matt outline who they’re not only looking to avoid but who they’re staying away from in drafts at both running back (24:55) and wide receiver (. They split the positions by tiers and reveal who they will not be targeting (34:45).

To keep or not to keep Christian McCaffrey, 'Ma'am's,' and QB updates

In this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon discuss what a “Fantasy Ma’am” is. A “Fantasy Ma’am.” Yes, Liz delves into ... whatever that is.


Later, our experts deliver some quarterback news. Russell Wilson has come out and said he wants to play until he’s 45 (but will the Seahawks protect him enough to achieve that goal?). Andy Dalton apparently loves his new head coach, Zac Taylor, while Baker Mayfield is being drafted ahead of the likes of Matt Ryan and Drew Brees — are gamers getting too hyped on the Browns signal caller, or is the hype warranted?


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


Liz and Matt got an interesting voicemail this week. A fantasy football gamer has been debating whether he should forego the 10th overall pick in his 10-player, full-PPR keeper league draft in favor of keeping stud running back, Christian McCaffrey.


Run-CMC went nuts in fantasy last season, delivering first round value. And lest we forget, McCaffrey went viral earlier this year for showcasing Hulk-like arms, so maybe the best is yet to come? That said, this particular fantasy gamer is questioning keeping him and letting his draft pick go, especially considering that Carolina added Jordan Scarlett and Elijah Holyfield in the 2019 NFL Draft. What should he do?

Breakout WR candidates and rookie RBs to watch out for

June is here, and we’re edging closer and closer to fantasy football draft season. Gamers and industry experts alike are already mocking, including our very own Liz Loza and Matt Harmon. Everyone has their own specific processes for getting themselves ready to draft. Reading material and tools aplenty exist, and Matt himself happens to be a pioneer of a popular one.


In this week’s podcast episode Matt and Liz discuss exactly what Reception Perception is, how it works, and how it can help fantasy players with their wide receivers (7:40).


Key things have stood out to Matt this year, like the massive gap between the Panthers WRs (13:50), the elite success of Calvin Ridley (24:50), and the truth of Amari Cooper as a Dallas Cowboy (24:50). Oh, and Michael Thomas had perhaps the best season Matt’s ever tracked over the last 5 years (30:10).


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


Liz and Matt also delve deeper into the pool of lesser-known rookie running backs, talking about the likes of Benny Snell, RyQuell Armstead, and Dexter Williams (36:20).


Oh, and Gerald McCoy signed with the Carolina Panthers (4:25) — any thoughts, 49ers fans?

Industry mock drafts and the grey area between RB1s and 2s

We’re in the waning days of May, but it’s never too early to talk fantasy football, and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the offseason is being able to mock draft. Matt Harmon and Liz Loza have been taking part in some industry mocks lately, and they start off this week’s fantasy football podcast episode by talking about the drafts they’ve completed thus far (5:00).


As you know, our fantasy football experts have been putting out their team previews for the 2019 season, and most recently they took on the Indianapolis Colts. Liz filmed a video in which she questioned whether Colts running back Marlon Mack can finish the season in the RB1 tier.


Can he join the likes of Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott, and Alvin Kamara? On that same note, which other running backs are worthy of the fantasy RB1 tier? Liz and Matt take on the backs who fall in that grey area between RB1 and RB2 including Mack, Damien Williams, James Conner, David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, Le'Veon Bell, Nick Chubb and Dalvin Cook (17:00).

Finally, Liz and Matt tackle the over/under win totals for the AFC/NFC South (34:50) and the AFC/NFC West teams (41:50). Can the Rams and Chiefs repeat as double-digit victory division winners? Will Tampa Bay and Oakland reach .500?

Questionable WR groups, plus AFC/NFC North win totals

There are 32 teams in the NFL, yet how many of them boast a true WR1? Sure, the Texans have DeAndre Hopkins, the Falcons Julio Jones, but not every team is so lucky. Matt Harmon and Liz Loza address this and more in this week’s fantasy football podcast episode.


Before we can get to that, we have to get to Liz' exciting weekend at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere party, schmoozing with all the biggest 2019 rookies (0:45). She gets into her Reddit-infamous photo with Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock and dishes the dirt on which rookie QB will now be known as 'the breadstick boy.'

Back to those aforementioned wide receivers. The conversation began thanks to a voicemail message Matt and Liz received. The caller asked who is the most relevant wide receiver on the San Francisco 49ers: Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel, or Jalen Hurd (15:00). Sure, the caller didn’t mention Marquise Goodwin (or Jordan Matthews), but it sheds light on a larger question regarding wide receiver groups lacking a true No. 1 target — a true X-receiver .


Liz and Matt discuss some of these WR corps with unclear hierarchies including the Ravens, Bills, Patriots, Jaguars, Panthers, Cardinals, Steelers and Packers (19:00).


Finally, Liz and Matt tackle the over/under win totals for the AFC-and-NFC North teams, and it seems like the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions will be the only teams on the wrong end of .500 (42:30).

Talking Jets, RB rankings, AFC/NFC East win totals and special guest Boban Marjanović

You know, for a moment there, it seemed like the New York Jets were actually moving in the right direction. Their young quarterback, Sam Darnold, showed signs of potential greatness last season. They hired an offensive-minded head coach in Adam Gase. They signed Le’Veon Bell. The defense looks promising.


And then they fired their general manager and vice president of player personnel. Suffice it to say, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon have some thoughts about the state of the Jets’ franchise in this week’s fantasy football podcast episode (0:20).

Elsewhere in the NFL, there are whispers of Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph being on the trade block. What with the Vikings’ cap space and their selection of rookie Irv Smith in the 2019 NFL Draft, Rudolph’s future with the team remains up in the air. Where would you like to see him land, were he to be traded?


Liz and Matt currently have Rudolph in the late-teens on their TE draft rankings (12:15). They also talk about the state of their current running back draft rankings on this week’s episode (21:05).


Moving from fantasy to reality, Liz and Matt try to predict over/under win totals for the NFC-and-AFC East teams (31:05).

Normally, Liz and Matt would move onto answering their voicemails, but, in order to discuss something very important, a special guest joined them on this podcast episode:


Philadelphia 76ers (very) big man, Boban Marjanović!


Boban joined Liz and Matt to discuss the release of his new film, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum as well as his road to the NBA from Serbia (39:45).

Stock watch: Josh Rosen, Josh Jacobs, the Seahawks, Packers and more

With the 2019 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, we’ve been taking a long look at each team’s offseason acquisitions to gauge who got better, who got worse, and who stayed the same. In this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon continue to review the state of some key squads.


And how could they talk team changes without mentioning the big trade the Miami Dolphins pulled off that sent quarterback Josh Rosen to the Sunshine State? Is there a chance Chosen Rosen can revive his career as a ‘Fin, or is he just a placeholder in Tankville (2:00)?


Liz and Matt also discuss rookie runner Josh Jacobs who, after the unfortunate season-ending Achilles tear suffered by Isaiah Crowell, looks like the man in Oakland (12:40). Where will you draft him in fantasy this season?


[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]


In transactional news, there are rumors of Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper “teaming up” to try and get PAID by the Cowboys (17:40).

In a new segment, Liz and Matt deliver a stock watch for NFL teams like the Seahawks, as well as the Falcons, Eagles, Packers, 49ers — who’s rising, who’s falling (22:15)?


And in the same vein of a stock watch, Liz and Matt reveal the players whom they’re hearing a Jumanji drumbeat for (you remember that drumbeat, c’mon). Matt’s hearing it for Ronald Jones and James Washington, while Liz is hearing it for D’Onta Foreman (40:20).

Scouting the incoming class of rookie wide receivers

The 2019 NFL Draft is next week. Football fans are hoping their team picks the player(s) who will take them to the next level. Fantasy football fans want to find out who, if any of these rookies, will be fantasy viable this coming season.


Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are here to help you get through it all in this week’s podcast episode.


In previous podcast episodes, our experts have broken down the top tight ends, running backs, and quarterbacks. This week, they profile the top wide receivers ready to join the NFL.


They talk Hollywood Brown (5:30), N'Keal Harry (17:10), A.J. Brown (20:20), Deebo Samuel (22:45), Kelvin Harmon (27:05), Hakeem Butler (33:35), Miles Boykin (39:25) and the next step in human evolution himself, D.K. Metcalf (11:15).


Later they tackle some of the late-round guys who could be of fantasy interest in the future or whose names we might never utter again on the podcast (44:00). Who knows? It all depends on how the draft shakes out next week.


They wrap up the show with a voicemail from a listener posing an interesting keeper question involving Deshaun Watson, Kerryon Johnson and Lamar Jackson and a salacious request for the hosts to play a round of Marry/Date/Kill (48:40).

Incoming rookie RBs, and is that a Gronk replacement?

The 2019 NFL Draft is right around the corner. Last week, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon broke down the biggest names at quarterback and tight end, and this week it’s time to look into fantasy football’s glamour position: Running Backs.


In this week’s fantasy football podcast however, Matt is joined by Eric Edholm, who returns to Yahoo as our NFL Draft Analyst!


Before they get to the draft talk though, the New England Patriots and New York Giants made some noteworthy moves. In the wake of Rob Gronkowski’s retirement, the Pats signed tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (3:10), and of course he will deliver the same fantasy value as Gronk has always done (insert sarcasm here).


The Giants, on the other hand, turned inward, signing wide receiver Sterling Shepard to an extension (7:10). Can he eat sans Odell Beckham, Jr., or will he be hindered by Eli Manning?


The incoming running back class is led by Alabama’s Josh Jacobs, but Matt and Eric also discuss what promise (if any) the likes of Miles Sanders, Justice Hill, and Bryce Love will bring to both fantasy and reality (16:20).

Profiling top rookie QBs and TEs in the NFL Draft

We’re in April, and you know what that means. It’s time to talk the 2019 NFL Draft, and Liz Loza and Matt Harmon are more than ready in this week’s fantasy football podcast.


Before they get into the nitty-gritty of it all, they circle back to last week, to discuss the Jordan Howard trade from the Bears to the Eagles (which Liz and Matt pretty much predicted, btw) (3:20).


They also discussed the prospects of the Rams backfield potentially changing last week, and lo and behold, C.J. Anderson signed with the Lions (7:20). Will he be a factor in Detroit — and potentially a thorn in Kerryon Johnson’s fantasy owners’ sides?


[It’s still not too late to join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league]


Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s focus on the draft. Liz and Matt breakdown the top tight ends and quarterbacks set to join the NFL. The TE class is led by T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant (33:55), while the first QBs expected to be drafted are Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins (in no particular order) (11:00).


Who will end up in the best situation — and who will provide the most fantasy impact?

What's going to happen with Jared Goff and Todd Gurley?

Now, we all know about the cringeworthy showing by the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl. Quarterback Jared Goff could pretty much do nothing against the New England Patriots.


Now, it seems like the Rams don’t really know when they’ll extend Goff.


On this week’s fantasy football podcast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon examine the question of whether the Rams even want to extend their young QB (0:45)


[Busted bracket? No problem. Make more tourney picks for free to win cash]


Staying with the Rams, Liz and Matt dive into the fickle world of mock drafts, where some actually have the Rams selecting Alabama’s Josh Jacobs at the end of the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft (8:00).


Uh, Todd Gurley, anyone? We’re all familiar with the soap opera that occurred late in the season in regards to his injury. Could the Rams try to solidify the position with a draft pick?


With all this talk about Goff and Gurley, are the Rams set to undergo a makeover sooner than we expect?


[It’s still not too late to join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league]


Liz and Matt stay on the west coast, where the 49ers have a ton of backfield options, but who do we trust in fantasy (16:30)? Will it be Jerick McKinnon, returned from injury? Or how about Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert? Or maybe Tevin Coleman will be the one to lead this group?


Elsewhere in the NFL, Jordan Howard was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, but Matt & Liz didn't know that at the time the episode was recorded. So instead, listen to their incredibly prescient takes on the former Chicago running back (20:00).


Later, they hop on board the Chris Godwin hype train after Adam Humphries signed with the Titans (30:40). Speaking of hype, the Saints signed the resurgent Jared Cook which opens up a larger conversation Cook's value in the frustratingly shallow tight end market (25:55).


A listener calls in asking if the Cleveland Browns have so much talent fantasy owners should be worried (36:00). Don’t forget to leave a voicemail on a future episode of Liz and Matt’s Help Line by calling (888) 85-YAHOO or (888) 859-2466.

Taking a ride on the Tannehill-Fitzpatrick-Bortles-Foles QB carousel

As the last puzzle pieces of free agency come into place, Matt Harmon and Liz Loza start off the show this week by addressing a very serious voicemail from a distraught Giants fan driven to the brink of despair by GM Dave Gettleman (3:00).


Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming! Matt and Liz are joined by Alex Gelhar, formerly of NFL Fantasy, to provide fantasy (and legal) insight through the show. And speaking of puzzles, a few puzzling moves trickled across the league as three, shall we say, less than good quarterbacks took a carousel ride to new locker rooms.


Matt and Liz kick off the quarterback discussion by analyzing the trade of Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans to presumably back up Marcus Mariota (9:00), then look at the Miami side of the equation where Ryan Fitzpatrick was signed by the presumably tanking Dolphins (14:20).


Also in the news, Rams fans were treated to news of the signing of their new backup QB, the immortal Blake Bortles (19:30), while the very mortal Tyler Eifert re-signed with the Cincinnati Bengals (21:30).


Moving to two former Packers, Randall Cobb signed a one year deal with the Dallas Cowboys (24:20) and any dreams of Jordy Nelson pairing with Antonio Brown were shut down as he was released by the Oakland Raiders. The crew discusses their favorite potential landing spots for Nelson and wonder if he could return to the green and gold (27:10).


Lastly, Matt, Liz and Alex discuss Chris Conley signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars and who among that receiver corps seems more likely to establish a good rapport with newly signed QB Nick Foles (30:20).

Breaking down Brown, Beckham, Bell and all those crazy free agency moves

In last week's podcast episode, we pondered the idea of whether the Raiders could make a splash and add either Le'Veon Bell or Antonio Brown. Well, they got one of 'em!


Yahoo Sports’ Liz Loza and Matt Harmon kick off this week’s podcast with the major moves at the start of 2019 NFL Free Agency, without a doubt headlined by the trades of elite wide receivers Odell Beckham, Jr. (1:30) and Antonio Brown (14:30).


OBJ! TRADED! TO THE BROWNS! Still can't believe it.


But those weren't the only moves made. The Buffalo Bills made a number of moves to help out Josh Allen (35:00), not to mention Le'Veon Bell being "back in the green." (22:13)


Oh, and the Lions seem to be trying to build the Patriots of the Midwest ... keyword "trying." (33:25)


And there's so much more Liz and Matt try to make sense of this week (37:05).


We also have another segment of Liz and Matt’s Advice Line (44:40), where they answer your voicemails about anything: fantasy football, food, dogs, kids, relationships, etc. Hear your question on a future episode by calling 888-85-YAHOO.

Combine impressions, free agency hopes and pressing questions for the AFC + NFC North

The scouting combine is over; now 7 weeks of speculation begins as to where the 2019 class of rookies will land and how the draft will be affected by free agency and trades reshuffling the deck. Will Kyler Murray go first overall? If so, where will Josh Rosen be traded? Could the ever-erratic Raiders make a splash and land Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown?


Yahoo Sports' Liz Loza and Matt Harmon kick off this week's podcast with a discussion about the major news stories coming out of this year's combine: where Josh Rosen should be traded, this years' crazy class of WRs and even more impressive crop of defensive players (3:40).


Next they discuss a few key free agents who could be wearing new unis by the end of next week: Adam Humphries, DeSean Jackson, Golden Tate and Le'Veon Bell (15:00).


Later, Matt wraps up his series of pressing questions for each team in the league, starting with the Browns, Bengals, Steelers and Ravens in the AFC North (23:45) and closing with the Lions, Packers, Vikings and Bears of the NFC North (38:00).


The show closes with a brand new segment: Liz and Matt's Advice Line (49:55). They answer your voicemails about anything: fantasy football, food, dogs, kids, relationships, etc. This week Liz answers a question about the time she was almost cast in the cult classic, "The Room."

Pressing questions in the AFC and NFC West, also Jason Witten?

We are joined on this week's podcast by human sports encyclopedia, Scott Pianowski. Scott is here to give us more details about the upcoming Yahoo Fantasy Baseball Podcast, which premieres Monday, March 4!


Scott will be joined by Yahoo Sports’ Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don, plus a rotating cast of experts and friends, for a not-so-serious talk about fantasy, reality, and so much more.


Back in the world of football, the team starts off the episode with the puzzling news that former Cowboys TE Jason Witten is putting down the microphone and returning to form as current Cowboys TE Jason Witten (6:50).


Later, they dive into Liz’s offseason columns examining the 10 most interesting players to monitor. This week, they tackle the fifth and sixth additions to her list, Tevin Coleman (12:00) and Drew Brees (18:10).


Our experts also take a deeper look at Matt’s weekly major fantasy questions column, where he breaks down the biggest issues each team in every division is facing this offseason.


This week, we're doubling up! Not only do our experts take a look at the Raiders, Broncos, Chargers, and Chiefs in the AFC West (25:45), but they'll also break down the Cardinals, 49ers, Seahawks, and Rams of the NFC West (42:05).


They’ll discuss what the Raiders can do with all those draft picks, can Jimmy G's return turn the 49ers into a contender, can the Chiefs match their defense to their offense, will the Rams recover (and retool) after their devastating Super Bowl loss, and so much more.

NFC East questions, Oscar talk and what's gonna happen with AB?

Welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast! Yes, our name is changed (slightly), but our content, our voices, and our entertainment stays the same.


That's not the only new thing, however. Along with our new name, we are also launching the Yahoo Fantasy Baseball Podcast!

The first show premieres on March 4, but you can already subscribe to it on your podcast app of choice.


Back to this week though. The 91st Academy Awards will air this Sunday the 24th — who ya got? Matt's got Vice. Liz Loza and Matt Harmon break down the big awards show on this week's podcast episode (3:15).


Back in the world of football, we witnessed a furthering in the apparent break-up between All-World wide receiver Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Our experts discuss where AB could end up, although Matt is still skeptical he leaves the Steel City at all (13:50).


The team will also further the conversation into Liz’s offseason column examining the 10 most interesting players to monitor. This week, they will delve into the third and fourth additions to her list, Nick Foles and Robert Foster (21:30).


Our experts also take a deeper look at Matt’s weekly major fantasy questions column, where he breaks down the biggest issues each team in every division is facing this offseason.

Flacco the Bronco, Le'Veon Bell, and questions for the AFC East

John Elway got his man ... I guess. The Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens completed a trade deal earlier this week that accomplished two things:


One: The Joe Flacco era in Baltimore is over, and the offense now belongs to Lamar Jackson.

Two: The Broncos are expected to shop Case Keenum, handling the reins of the offense over to Flacco.


Sure, Flacco has history with the Denver coaching staff, but was it the right move for a franchise desperate for a fix at QB?

Liz Loza, Dalton Del Don, and Matt Harmon break down that big trade (which won't go into effect until March 13) on this week's podcast episode (3:00).


They also discuss the controversial signing of Kareem Hunt by the Cleveland Browns, and what it means for the fantasy outlooks of Hunt and 2018 darling, Nick Chubb (11:30).


New this week was the start of Liz's offseason column examining the 10 most interesting players to monitor. She started off with Washington running back Derrius Guice (20:30), and this week the team will discuss Guice along with her latest edition, Le'Veon Bell (25:30).


Our experts also take a deeper look at Matt’s weekly major fantasy questions column, where he breaks down the biggest issues each team in every division is facing this offseason.


This week, they’ll take a look at the Jets, Bills, Dolphins, and Super Bowl-winning Patriots in the AFC East (30:00). They’ll discuss whether Buffalo can stabilize Josh Allen, whether Sam Darnold will get the right help, who will stand next to Tom Brady on offense next season, and so much more.

Fighting that Super Bowl hangover, plus NFC South questions

Well, the 2018 NFL season is officially over. The New England Patriots triumphed over the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3, in the Punt Bowl ...


... Sorry, meant Super Bowl. But anyway, Tom Brady got his sixth ring, Julian Edelman won MVP — and became the subject of an interesting Hall of Fame debate — and the Rams are left wondering what went wrong.


Liz Loza, Dalton Del Don, and Matt Harmon break down the big game in this week's podcast, including where the Rams go from here, what in the hell is going on with Todd Gurley and what his suspicious postseason absence does to his fantasy stock.


Our experts also take a deeper look at Matt's weekly major fantasy questions column, where he breaks down the biggest issues each team in every division is facing this offseason. In last week's podcast episode, they discussed the AFC South (14:20).


This week, they'll take a look at the Buccaneers, Falcons, Saints, and Panthers in the NFC South. They'll discuss whether New Orleans can get Drew Brees a tight end, whether Cam Newton will get help, is there still more to be had with Calvin Ridley, and so much more.

Super Bowl player props and the fate of kickers

This week’s podcast was recorded live from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association conference in Tampa, Florida, where Matt Harmon was joined by both Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don.


Matt, Dalton, and Andy talk about the conference itself, giving their thoughts on what was featured during the two-day event. They also share their thoughts on this Sunday's Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots (4:45).


Speaking of which, there's a plethora of player props for SB LIII. Our experts give their picks for a few of them like, say, O/U 49.5 rushing yards for "baby weight" C.J. Anderson (10:45)?


Last week, Andy wrote an insightful piece in defense of the fantasy kickers, and our experts further go into that discussion on this episode. What do you think: should the position be removed, or spared (25:05)?


Finally the guys wrap up discussing the AFC South and what the Jaguars, Colts, Titans and Texans need to do to improve in 2019 (33:50).

Early Super Bowl predictions and way too early 2019 running back rankings

This week's podcast is live from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association conference in Tampa, Florida, and Liz Loza is joined by both Scott Pianowski and Brad Evans to break down what's to come in 2019 fantasy football.


But first, Liz, Scott, and Brad talk about the big Super Bowl matchup on the horizon between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams — who ya got?


Earlier this year, Liz spoke to Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don to ask them about their 2018 fantasy season. This time, she poses the same questions to Scott and Brad: What went wrong, what went right, and what are they looking to do differently as analysts in 2019?


Our experts also break down their way-too-early 2019 fantasy running back rankings, discussing everyone from Le'Veon Bell and Nick Chubb, as well as Todd Gurley's not-set-in-stone status as being the first RB off the board this upcoming season (20:00).

Where will Nick Foles land?

Our experts discussed the coaching carousel on last week's fantasy football podcast, and it would seem like the final vacancies are filling quick.


The Jets hired former Dolphins head coach, Adam Gase, while former Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo is taking his talents to Jacksonville. The Bengals and Broncos also made coaching changes, as well as the aforementioned Dolphins and Vikings.


Liz Loza, Matt Harmon, and Dalton Del Don discuss those hires and much more on this week's podcast episode. Among the biggest news is Nick Foles' fate outside of Philly. With the Eagles being eliminated from the playoffs, his future is all but sealed.


The question now is, where will he end up (15:50)?


Our experts also break down their way-too-early 2019 fantasy rankings, discussing everyone from Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen to Jimmy Garoppolo and Cam Newton (21:35).


Liz, Dalton, and Matt also offer up a couple of daily fantasy bargains and fades for championship Sunday (30:10).

The coaching carousel is spinning at full speed

Well, the divisional round is set, with the Cowboys facing the Rams and the Eagles vs. Saints.


Over in the AFC, the Colts will face the Chiefs, and the Chargers will face the Patriots.

Who ya got?


Elsewhere in football news, the holes left behind by Black Monday are quickly being filled. One that launched more than a few headlines was the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury will now be the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals after a hilariously short stint as the head coach at USC.


Many people know Kingsbury from his days coaching Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech, so what does this mean for Josh Rosen's 2019 fantasy outlook (or *gasp* maybe Kyler Murray's outlook?)


Liz Loza, Matt Harmon, and Dalton Del Don discuss Kingsbury's hiring and the new coaching hires for the Packers, Buccaneers, Browns, Jets, Broncos and Falcons in this week’s podcast episode (2:30).


Liz, Dalton, and Matt also offer up some divisional-round weekend bargains and fades for Daily Fantasy (31:15).

Year-End Recap: What went right, what went wrong in 2018

The Yahoo fantasy team is feeling introspective as of late. And why not, considering the 2018 fantasy football season came to an end last week. We're now looking ahead to the real-life playoffs, to DFS, and the 2019 season of fantasy as well.


As such, Liz Loza, Matt Harmon, and Dalton Del Don decide to ask themselves the hard questions on this week's podcast episode.

What went wrong (like whiffing on Leonard Fournette) this fantasy season? What went right? (17:15)


What will they do differently as fantasy experts in 2019? And who will be the first three picks to come off of draft boards this year (or rather, who will come after Todd Gurley at No. 1)?


But before they get to all that, our experts discuss some of the biggest news of the week. Of course, we can't talk news without digging into the chaos going on with Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will the team really move on from the star? (3:30)


They also ask you which 2018 breakout players will let fantasy owners down in 2019. Many identified names like Lamar Jackson and Phillip Lindsay as potential disappointments this year. (34:40)


Liz, Dalton, and Matt then offer up some wild-card weekend bargains and fades for Daily Fantasy. (41:00)

Week 16 Wrap-Up: C.J. Anderson, Elijah McGuire and Jamaal Williams decide your fantasy championship

Week 16. For the majority of leagues, the fantasy football championships. Seasons came to an end today. Trophies won or lost.


Sure, there's Monday night, but many 'ships were secured on Sunday. Speaking of Sunday, most of the day was dominated by the news of Todd Gurley not playing against Arizona. C.J. Anderson started in Gurley's stead and delivered a league-winning performance — were you able to snag him off the waiver wire? (1:00)


Speaking of league-winning performances, the Saints-Steelers game turned out to be a fantasy wonderland. Antonio Brown delivered another legendary outing, while Alvin Kamara erupted on the ground and through the air. Fantasy players with assets in that game definitely had a chance in their title games. (21:20)


Liz Loza, Matt Harmon, and Scott Pianowski discuss those performances and more in this week’s fantasy wrap podcast.


They also asked you for your fantasy football resolutions for 2019. As you can imagine, many people are averse to drafting David Johnson again, while others are looking to secure the services of a legit tight end (George Kittle, anyone?). (26:00)


In the world of college football, our experts Dan Wetzel, Pat Forde and Pete Thamel will be doing a live edition of the Yahoo Sports College Podcast the Friday before the National Championship game at the Uproar Brewing Company in San Jose, California. The show is free to attend, there will be tons of prizes and giveaways, beer specials and custom brews for both playoff teams.

Week 16 Preview: Are you ready to win a fantasy championship?

It is finally here. 15-and-a-half long weeks have led us to this point. It's nearly time for the 2018 fantasy football championship round!

Did you make it to the title game?


If so, you're probably dealing with a lot right now. Injuries, tough matchups, and regressing players have all come to the forefront of the fantasy playoffs. James Conner might not play again, and now Todd Gurley and DeAndre Hopkins — practically league-winning assets — are both dealing with injuries.


Drew Brees and Michael Thomas have been anything but high-scoring the last couple of weeks, as the offense has practically shifted into a gritty, clock-killing unit buoyed by an improving defense. That said, the Saints are returning home, where fantasy fireworks have been the norm.


Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs stars will travel to Seattle, where it's always tough to play — are you downgrading any of them?


Liz and Dalton break down those and the other big Week 16 happenings in this latest podcast episode. (6:40)


They also asked you about which players whom you've counted on all season — but are benching for the fantasy championship. Aaron Rodgers is a name being shared, as well as none other than Mr. 100-Yards himself, Adam Thielen! (23:20)


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 16 rankings, and there are some differing opinions about Derrick Henry. (26:00)


Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy. Speaking of which, don’t forget to enter Yahoo Sports’ special $1 million DFS contest here. (36:00)

Week 15 Wrap-Up: Vikings bounce back and Derrick Henry goes off again

The semifinals of the fantasy playoffs are nearly complete. Have you secured your spot in the fantasy Super Bowl? Or, did you suffer a terrible defeat at the hands of an oddly low-scoring Sunday?


In fact, only two games featured a ton of points, and they were both blowouts (ARI@ATL, MIA@MIN). The majority of quarterbacks delivered quiet performances. The expected high-scoring affair between the Steelers and Patriots? Both relative fantasy disappointments for Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger.


Minnesota, however, didn't suffer offensively at all. They finally delivered on the run game sans ex-OC, John DeFilippo. Dalvin Cook had inarguably his best game of the season, rewarding his fantasy owners' patience (if they had any left).


Oh, and Derrick Henry went off again. Now the question is, what round will he be drafted in 2019?


Dalton Del Don and Matt Harmon discuss those performances and more in this week's fantasy wrap podcast. They also asked you about which players — in such an important week — let you down the most. As many can imagine, the disappointment surrounding Andrew Luck and Saquon Barkley is IMMENSE. (18:20)


Dalton and Matt then offer up a couple of pickup options for Week 16 — the championship round for most fantasy leagues! (24:30)


In the world of college football, our experts Dan Wetzel, Pat Forde and Pete Thamel will be doing a live edition of the Yahoo Sports College Podcast the Friday before the National Championship game at the Uproar Brewing Company in San Jose, California.

Week 15 Preview: Conner still a question, Wentz shut down and a shakeup in Minnesota

For most fantasy football leagues, Week 15 marks the playoff semifinals. Yep, we're just one week away from the Super Bowl of fantasy. Did you make it this far?


If you did, chances are you have a solid squad. If you didn't, pride is still worth fighting for!


Yet, question marks remain on many a fantasy team, and they just keep emerging. James Conner did not practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Week 15. Conner owners looking for a backup will have to do some savvy picking-and-choosing, especially since there will be Saturday football this week.


Carson Wentz might be shut down for the remainder of the season. Can owners looking for a backup trust Nick Foles? What does Wentz's back injury mean for Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffrey, and the rest of the Eagles' fantasy assets?


Matt and Dalton break down those and the other big Week 15 questions in this latest podcast episode.


They also asked you which advantageous matchups you were looking forward to the most. Dak Prescott against the Colts' questionable secondary was mentioned, but so was the fact that some advantageous matchups end up flopping terribly!


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 15 rankings, and there are some differing opinions about Josh Allen.

Week 14 Wrap-Up: Missing the Saints and saying 'sorry' to Amari

Week 14 is all but done, and many fantasy players saw their hopes for a run in the playoffs come to an end. Odds are they faced Derrick Henry, but the Titans runner wasn't the only player to shock the masses.


In a rather surprising turn of events, the Saints' offense has utterly sputtered two weeks in a row. In fact, Drew Brees has only thrown two touchdowns in his last two games compared to eight in Weeks 11 and 12 combined.


Week 14 offered up as juicy a matchup as it gets (@ Tampa Bay), but Brees finished with 14.94 fantasy points; less than owners expected. Brees and the Saints get Carolina and Pittsburgh in the final two weeks of the fantasy playoffs.


On the flipside, Amari Cooper had been, as a whole, underwhelming for much of the season. Then he joined the Cowboys, and then he erupted for 10 catches, 217 yards and three touchdowns in Week 14.


Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski, and Matt Harmon discuss these unexpected performances and more on today’s fantasy wrap podcast.


Our experts also asked you about the most tilting fantasy performances you experienced in Week 14. You can imagine how many people were affected by another eruption, courtesy of George Kittle (seven catches, 210 yards, one TD).


Liz, Scott, and Matt then wrap up with a most stunning statistic that is par for the Week 14 course. A whopping 14 players scored touchdowns — those players were also owned in less than 1 percent of Yahoo leagues. Among them is James Develin, because of course.


Our experts run down that list and see if there's anyone with any fantasy intrigue going forward.

Week 14 Preview: Dealing with Conner, Sanders and a slew of late-season injuries

Well, this is it. The regular fantasy football season is in the books. Now, we look ahead at the tournament — the battle for all the marbles.


If you made it this far, congratulations! Yet, it isn't all good news. Many fantasy teams in the playoffs were, in some form or fashion, affected by the wave of devastating injuries that have been occurring.


It started with an injury to Melvin Gordon and continued on Sunday Night Football in Week 13, when James Conner went down. With Conner ruled out of Week 14, Jaylen Samuels entered the spotlight. Can he be trusted?

Emmanuel Sanders owners lost him for the season earlier this week, thanks to a torn Achilles. The fantasy outlooks of Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton, and Tim Patrick were drastically changed as a result.


Liz and Dalton break down those and the other terrible losses in this latest podcast episode.


They also asked you what high-floor, high-risk players you're being forced to start in the first round of the playoffs. Demaryius Thomas and Jarvis Landry are some of the fringe starters mentioned.


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 14 rankings, and there are some differing opinions about Joe Mixon.

Week 13 Wrap-Up: McCarthy fired, Seattle continues to impress and a new backfield in KC

Just like that, the last regular Sunday action of the fantasy season is in the books. There were some unexpected results, but for the most part, fantasy players know where they stand.


They're either in, or they're out (or they're clinging on by a thread, waiting for Monday Night Football!).


The performances we saw on Sunday definitely played a part. Todd Gurley did Todd Gurley things, but Jared Goff disappointed. Russell Wilson continued scoring, while Josh Allen decided to out-rush a whole bunch of RB1s.


The Packers also fired Mike McCarthy — a move many expected. A.J. Green and Greg Olsen suffered injuries again, with Olsen's being season-ending. The Chiefs also didn't miss a beat, sans Kareem Hunt.


Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski, and Matt Harmon discuss all those subjects and more on today’s fantasy wrap podcast.


Our experts then asked you which players who went late in fantasy drafts have become no-doubt starters in the playoffs. You know Nick Chubb is included, who's impressed ever since he became a starter.


Liz, Scott, and Matt then wrap up with a few pickup options for Week 14.

Week 13 Preview: Question marks for Bears, Bengals, Chargers and strategies to get you through the fantasy playoffs

Week 13. It's the last regular season slate for many Fantasy players. Some are lucky enough to already have secured a playoff spot. Many others are hanging on by a thread. A win, a loss, a met-point-threshold — all are important this week. Luckily, Liz Loza and Dalton Del Don are letting us in on some playoff strategies to implement.


Of course you're starting Patrick Mahomes and Todd Gurley, but what about that FLEX position?


But that’s not all Liz and Dalton discuss in this week's podcast episode. They also discuss the late-season injury fallout from across the league. How have the outlooks for Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams, and the rest of the Chargers' skill-position players after Melvin Gordon's injury?


What alternatives do players look for now that Andy Dalton and Mitchell Trubisky are missing time? What does apparent A.J. Green's return mean for Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd?


They’ve also asked you about the on-the-bubble starters you need to have a huge game in Week 13 — yes, we're talking James White and Corey Davis.


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 13 rankings, and there are some differing opinions about Dalvin Cook.

Week 12: Wrap-Up: Melvin Gordon's injury puts fantasy playoff dreams in doubt

The Sunday action for Week 12 is in the can! This is it. Just one regular season week left for most fantasy leagues before the playoffs — are you ready?


While some teams are in excellent position to dominate, others aren't. And those who have been led by Melvin Gordon now find themselves in a nightmarish situation.


The Chargers were in the midst of a soon-to-be blowout victory over the Cardinals when Gordon — who almost didn't even start due to lingering ailments — went down. Initial reports suggested an MCL injury suffered by the star runner, but fantasy owners will have to wait until full confirmation to be sure.


Our Yahoo fantasy experts discuss that and more on today’s fantasy wrap podcast. One of those subjects include the return of the Patriots offense, as Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski (at last!), Sony Michel, and Julian Edelman all had great fantasy days. Perhaps the bye week helped fix issues in the Evil Empire?


Our experts then asked you which quarterback — with both Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes on bye and Drew Brees enjoying a long layoff — had the most surprising fantasy performance on Sunday (all hail Baker Mayfield!)


Liz, Scott, and Matt then wrap up with a few pickup options for Week 13.

Week 12 Preview: Rams-Chiefs, 3 Turkey Day games and players we're thankful for

Week 12's first slate of games begins on Thanksgiving. As such, it's only right that Liz Loza and Dalton Del Don take this podcast episode to discuss the fantasy players they're thankful for this year (not enough thanks to go around for Andrew Luck, TBH).


But that's not all Liz and Dalton discuss in this early week episode. Of course, they have to dissect that game-changing Monday night matchup between the Chiefs and Rams — and what happened to Todd Gurley?!


Our experts also dive into the three games on Turkey Day. Will Ezekiel Elliott continue his torrid stretch? How will injuries to Mitchell Trubisky and Kerryon Johnson affect Bears-Lions? Can Falcons-Saints match Rams-Chiefs? What will *gulp* Colt McCoy do against the Dallas D?


They’ve also asked you about the players you're most worried about letting you down in Week 12 (is Carson Wentz going downhill?).

Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 12 rankings, and there are some differing opinions about Deshaun Watson.

Week 11 Wrap-Up: Saints prove it's not just about Chiefs-Rams

The fantasy playoffs are getting closer and closer. The more the season nears its finish, the more things become clear — while other things just continue to get muddled. Like the Titans — what is happening? The Marcus Mariota-led offense showed us so much the past couple of weeks only to completely fall apart against the powerhouse Colts.


Speaking of powerhouses, Drew Brees and the Saints have pushed their way into the conversation for not only best team in the NFC, but best team in the league after they utterly dominated the Eagles.


Speaking of muddled, who, pray tell, is Gus Edwards, and why did he break every Alex Collins-owners' hearts today?


Our Yahoo fantasy experts discuss that and more on today's fantasy wrap podcast. One of the subjects they broke down were the blow-up performances by two rookie wideouts, D.J. Moore and Tre'Quan Smith. Moore and Smith also lead our experts' pickup options for Week 12, when two powerhouses, Kansas City and the Rams, will be on bye.


Our experts then asked you which players brought you closer to — or farther from — the fantasy playoffs (thank you, T.Y. Hilton).

Week 11 Preview: Life without Kupp, RGIII vs. Lamar and Chiefs/Rams is the fantasy matchup of the season

It's a matchup that fantasy gamers can only dream of. You've been waiting for it. I've been waiting for it. We all have. Finally, on Monday night in Week 11, we will get it. Rams versus Chiefs. Two of the three teams (Saints) that have pretty much broken fantasy football this season will face off. Most, if not all fantasy teams with playoff aspirations have multiple active assets in this game. Patrick Mahomes and Todd Gurley; of course. Tyreek Hill and Robert Woods; probably.


Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don want to make sure we're all ready for that game, and all the other major fantasy happenings that have led up to kickoff on this week's preview podcast.


Our experts delve into the devastating Cooper Kupp-injury, the Le'Veon Bell fallout, and the Ravens quarterback situation.


They've also asked you about the bench players you're forced to play in this six-team bye week — the ones you're hoping will go off (please, Doug Martin, please!).


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 11 rankings, and there's a grudge match going on between Corey Davis and Larry Fitzgerald.

Week 10 Wrap-Up: Patriots, Bucs and Bengals extinguishing fantasy playoff hopes

Scoring was in full effect in Week 10 yet surprisingly, the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led Bucs could muster only three points. Could the Tampa Bay coaching staff turn back to Jameis Winston? On the flip side, the Bears offense had no trouble on Sunday. The wide receiver duo of Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller showed out as Chicago continues to prove itself a force in the NFC.


Our Yahoo fantasy experts discuss those performances and more on this week's wrap podcast. They also break down the offensive outbursts of both the Browns and the Titans (three touchdowns for Baker Mayfield!)


Our experts then hear your tales of woe about the players that may have put your fantasy seasons in jeopardy — and you can imagine how many people felt about the Andy Dalton/Joe Mixon combo. And Tom Brady? Ouch. (22:50)


They also offer up a couple of pickup options for Week 11 when Buffalo, Cleveland, New England, Miami, San Francisco, and the Jets will be on bye. (32:45)

Week 10 Preview: Understanding the players tied to your fantasy playoff hopes

Ah, Week 10. Just six (or seven, depending on your league) weeks left in the fantasy football season. Now is a time for reflection, to look back and...actually, scratch that. Now is the time to look forward, because the fantasy playoffs are just on the horizon! Now is the time to reevaluate your roster (what will Tyler Boyd be sans A.J. Green?), to make peace — or war — with injured stars (Dalvin Cook is back...and resting on his bye), and to take note of the players who are tied to your playoff hopes.


Yes, our experts asked you to list the players you believe will spell your fantasy success or your fantasy doom come playoff time — no pressure, Aaron Jones.


Along with that roster rundown, our experts also break down all the biggest Week 10 happenings. Among these of course is the return of Dez Bryant, who has now joined the Saints' already-elite offense (4:30).


Our experts then share some fantasy assets that you should be trying to buy and/or sell before your league's trade deadline. Hint: start talking to your league's David Johnson-owner (9:30).


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 10 rankings (22:45), and Nick Mullens is causing some chaos among them!


Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy (32:45).

Week 9 Wrap-Up: Lions, Jets, Ravens and other fantasy let-downs

Week 9's Sunday action has come and gone, and we officially have no more undefeated teams left in the league. Yes, the Los Angeles Rams finally fell, moving to 8-1 after a 45-35 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Alvin Kamara played a huge part in that victory, scoring three touchdowns before halftime. Remember when people were freaking out about Ingram cutting into Kamara's value? Well, if Week 9 is any indication, Kamara is in no danger whatsoever going down the line.


Our experts analyze Kamara and much more on this week’s podcast (16:15). They break down the return of some injured stars (DALVIN COOK AT LAST)(19:00), as well as the impressive run the Panthers are on (what a game, Christian McCaffrey, what a game)(12:15). They also talk about a few of the offenses that they're just not on anymore (what happened, Baltimore?)(1:00).


Our experts then hear your thoughts on the fantasy players who let owners down on Sunday (22:30). Don't worry, we feel for you, Mike Evans and John Brown owners.


They also offer up a couple of pickup options for Week 10 when Denver, Minnesota, Baltimore, and Houston will be on bye (33:30).

Week 9 Preview: Trade deadline moves and how to fight fantasy fatigue

Week 9 is here, and with it, a familiar feeling of fatigue might be setting in. At this point in the season, most players have a clear (or at least, clearer) idea about where they stand. You're either sitting pretty, in the playoff hunt, or already thinking about next year. If you're out of the running, you might feel tempted to sit the next few weeks out. To just go through the motions. Maybe even quit!


Never fear though — on this week’s podcast episode, our experts will help you fight that fatigue to finish your 2018 fantasy season strong! (17:15)


Along with those therapeutic musings, our experts also break down all the biggest Week 9 happenings. These of course include the wild moves at the trade deadline: Demaryius Thomas to the Texas, Golden Tate to the Eagles, and more (and lest we forget, Fitzmagic is real, people). (01:00)


Our experts then share the bench players that fantasy owners are being forced to start in this bye-heavy week. Yes, people have had no choice but to start Nathan Peterman. This is happening. (25:40)


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 9 rankings. They have some very different opinions on Philip Rivers and Geronimo Allison this week! (31:45)


Liz and Matt then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy. (41:40)

Week 8 Wrap-Up: Are the Raiders actually better without Amari Cooper?

Week 8's Sunday action has come to a close, and (a bit unexpectedly) the Oakland Raiders showed life. After scoring 13 total points in crushing, back-to-back losses, Derek Carr and the offense scored 28 points. The defense couldn't stop Marlon Mack and the suddenly-juggernaut Colts though, but still, it begs the question: could the Raiders be a more viable fantasy resource sans Amari Cooper?


Our experts analyze that and much more on this week's podcast. They also break down the Panthers demolition of the best defense in the league, along with Todd Gurley's continued MVP-season and the stunning nature of Adrian Peterson's fight against Father Time.


Our experts then hear your thoughts on players you are no longer going to bench after Week 8 (welcome back, Larry Fitzgerald). (20:40)


They also offer up a couple of pickup options for Week 9 when Arizona, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, New York Giants, and Philadelphia will be on bye. (32:20)

Week 8 Preview: Andy Dalton, Fantasy Freddy Krueger

Week 8 is here! On this week’s episode, our experts break down all the happenings leading up to kickoff, including Todd Gurley's continued dominance over...well...everyone (he's outscoring entire teams, ENTIRE TEAMS, GUYS). Also, a Raider became a Cowboy this week, when Oakland traded Amari Cooper to Dallas. Though the 'Boys definitely needed a wide receiver, should fantasy players even care about this move, and what effect will it have (if any) on Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott?


Later, our experts discuss the prospect of handcuffing at this stage of the fantasy season, as well as potential targets to hit on.

As we get closer to Halloween, Liz and Dalton decide to compare fantasy players to horror movie monsters. Basically, Freddy Krueger = Andy Dalton. On that same note, they share your comparisons between fantasy asset and movie monster (Le'Veon Bell is the Invisible Man *ugly laughs*).


Of course, we can’t forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 8 rankings — and they have some very different opinions about Chris Carson.

Week 7 Wrap-Up: Mitchell Trubisky...Blake Bortles, 2.0?!

Week 7's Sunday action has come and gone, and with it so have some more running backs. Sony Michel's knee injury was a big lowlight of the day. Just as we've seen all season though, when someone goes down, someone else must step up. Our experts discuss the new outlook for James White, as well as some new faces at RB who have taken a spotlight this season (enter: Nick Chubb).


Blake Bortles' benching was another lowlight of the day, and our experts try to make sense of the fantasy situation in Jacksonville. Speaking of Bortles, is Mitchell Trubisky his fantasy twin?

Our experts then hear your biggest regrets for Week 7 (TFW you forget to bench Melvin Gordon — ouch) along with a couple of pickup options for Week 8, when the Titans, Chargers, Cowboys, and Falcons will be on bye.

Week 7 Preview: Freeman to IR, Sony's Future and Fantasy Break-Ups and Crushes

Week 7 is here! On this week’s episode, our experts break down all the happenings leading up to kickoff. These include the big news of Devonta Freeman being placed on IR. Who owns the edge in the Atlanta backfield now: known-commodity Tevin Coleman, or new kid on the block Ito Smith? Our experts also delve into the dumpster fire known as the Titans offense, where everyone from Marcus Mariota to Derrick Henry has been a fantasy disappointment.


Later, our experts lay their feelings bare, revealing their biggest fantasy crushes (heyyy Kenny Golladay), their worst breakups (never want to see you AGAIN, Amari Cooper!), and the fantasy reconciliations they wish would happen (take me back, Josh Gordon!).


Of course, we can't forget about Andy and Brad going at it over their Week 7 rankings — who knew Mitchell Trubisky could cause such turmoil?

Week 6 Wrap-Up: As Le'Veon Bell looms, is James Conner destined to disappear?

Many people predicted what Brock Osweiler would do against the Bears. Those three interceptions and two lost fumbles were...oh wait. No, no, Osweiler decided to cover for an injured Tannehill and proceed to light up one of the best defenses in the NFL. Then Dak Prescott and the Cowboys followed Osweiler's lead by ripping the Jaguars defense to the tune of 40 points. That's Week 6 for you. Some things weren't shocking though, like Todd Gurley going nuts in Denver and James Conner having a day when the Steelers needed it most. Yet, when the dust settles, was that performance by James Conner...his last big show (*insert villainous Le'Veon Bell laugh*)?


Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski and Matt Harmon break down those Week 6 happenings and more in this week’s podcast episode (bidding for Gurley in an auction draft, anyone?). They also discuss the Browns getting steamrolled against the Chargers (Baker Mayfield finally Browned), as well as Julio Jones and his seemingly impenetrable touchdown-preventing force field (even when Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu left the game!!!).

Continuing with that same theme of head-scratching performances, our experts then try to help you understand some of the most confusing occurrences that happened in your fantasy matchups this week, along with a couple of pickup options for Week 7.

Our experts also delve into stars like Kamara who might have fantasy owners worried.

Later, they’ll help you deal with some of the potentially bad fantasy decisions that players have made or might make (we're here for you *hugs*).

And while our experts try to provide an intervention for players, Brad and Andy might need an intervention of their own while arguing over their rankings for Week 6!

Week 5 Wrap-Up: RB Bouncebacks and other things not to blow out of proportion

There were some very big matchups on tap in Week 5 — ones that would answer some equally big questions. Would Patrick Mahomes throw his first interception against the Jaguars? How would the Steelers-Falcons slugfest end? Could Aaron Rodgers return to form in a divisional matchup with Detroit?


Scott Pianowski and Matt Harmon break down those games and more in this week's podcast episode. They also discuss the Zero-RB Theory in a week where many rushers — like...Isaiah Crowell?! — had big performances.

Our experts then answer your questions about some of the surprising fantasy lines in Week 5, analyzing which were a sign of things to come and which were nothing more than just plain old fool's gold.

Week 5 Preview: Re-drafting the 2018 fantasy season

If you had the chance to start your fantasy football season from scratch — to draft once again — who would you take in the first round? How would a fantasy draft end up looking today?

Are you still going with Todd Gurley at number one overall? Does Patrick Mahomes belong anywhere close to the first round?

Since we've gone a quarter-way through the NFL season and about a third of the way through the Fantasy regular season, Yahoo experts Liz Loza and Dalton Del Don decided to think about what the top of a fantasy draft would look like now that we've reached Week 5.

They discuss this list and more on the latest episode, which includes matchups to look out for in Week 5, a special edition of "Fantasy Court" with judge Andy Behrens, "This Week in Fantasy History," and a few bargain plays and fades for Daily Fantasy.

Week 4 Wrap-Up: Money-Making Mitch and the revenge of the QB

Much was made of the apparent demise of Tom Brady and Andrew Luck and Mitchell Trubisky (was he ever alive?), but Week 4 proved that perhaps those assumptions were ill-advised. Luck put up a performance that silenced his critics (at least for the week) and Brady returned home to utterly dominate the division-leading Miami Dolphins. Yet those performances paled in comparison to what Trubisky did to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.


Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski, and Matt Harmon break down those spectacular performances as well as answer your questions about the important lessons learned during Week 4.


Our experts also discuss the two-headed monster forming in Patriots backfield, the sudden resurgence of the Titans offense, and a dissection into Aaron Rodgers' chances of ever being a "sit" candidate.


They wrap up with waiver-wire options you should consider as we look ahead to Week 5.

They also touch upon some old signal callers still slinging the rock and the new school of talent making their first starts on Sunday.


Later, they’ll answer some of your questions about players who are staring down some difficult matchups in Week 4, and which you're most afraid of.


Our very own Brad Evans then delivers Week 4’s edition of “Great Moments in Fantasy History,” going back in time to showcase one of the most epic performances by a Seattle Seahawks legend.


The team wraps up with a couple bargains and fades for Week 4 of Yahoo Daily Fantasy, but not before trying to guess which names actually belong to active skill players and which are made up in a new game we're calling, "The Jason Croom 'Who Is This Guy?' All-Stars."

Week 3 Wrap-Up: Upsets galore in topsy-turvy Sunday

Week 3 delivered us a football Sunday replete with some confusing box scores. One that wasn't confusing is the Vikings crushing the Bills, 27-6...oh wait. Wait. No, the BUFFALO BILLS WENT TO MINNESOTA AND DOMINATED THE VIKINGS. Yes, that happened, and more. Week 3, ladies and gentlemen.


Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski, and Matt Harmon break down that unexpected result as well as answer your questions about some other Week 3 surprises and the fantasy impacts of each of them.


Our experts also discuss one of the biggest losses of the day, as San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Jimmy Garappolo went down with what looked like a devastating injury. One of the biggest winners of the day though, was Patrick Mahomes, who continued to light up the league on Sunday. Our experts discuss the Chiefs incredible offense as well as another classic Saints-Falcons matchup.

Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski, and Matt Harmon break down the herculean outings of Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger — who seems to only wear his best superhero cape when he’s at home — and yes, Ryan Fitzpatrick.


Our experts also touch upon a few of the biggest questions that were left unanswered in Week 2, like Josh Gordon’s future, the 49ers backfield situation, and of course, the one that has undoubtedly already begun to haunt fantasy owners: what’s wrong with David Johnson?


Later, the trio discusses players who have fantasy owners worried because of sluggish starts (Deshaun Watson, what’s wrong?).
