Joe Holka joins us today for our DFS show and chats with us about our top cash game and GPP plays. We give our thoughts on Josh Gordon (1:41) leaving the Patriots after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy again and later evaluate who might gain relevance with his departure (39:53). The projected game script is favorable for Josh Allen (18:12) to produce, we debate Christian McCaffrey's (19:56) usefulness with Taylor Heinicke under center, and the guys praise Davante Adams (31:58) as a top option this week. Who is the better play between Zach Ertz and Eric Ebron (42:57) and would John Kelly (56:57) be a must-play in cash games if Todd Gurley sits? Sponsors:

Welcome to Championship Week! Our dynamic duo spends today's show examining the top spot-starts for the fantasy football finals. We kick things off by breaking down the latest news on the injuries to Aaron Jones (3:30), Ito Smith (4:52), and Todd Gurley (6:49), then dive into the potential return of Hunter Henry (7:29). The guys debate whether John Kelly (12:05) should be this week's top pickup. DaeSean Hamilton's (30:21) high target volume when he starts makes him a viable WR option and Robby Anderson (36:36) can be relied upon as a desperation play because of his upside. The show concludes with a few interesting rounds of fact or fiction (49:31). Sponsors:

Congratulations if you survived week 15 as we saw some players get injured early, while others simply left owners out in the cold. Things weren't ugly everywhere though, as Kenny Golladay re-emerged in a plus matchup (33:02) and Derrick Henry went off again (50:34). We're going game by game discussing key takeaways and more importantly, what we can expect from all the key players heading into the championship round for most fantasy leagues. What do we make of Kenyan Drake's lack of carries (5:06), what is Jamaal Williams' value moving forward (7:58), what happens with Damien Williams and Spencer Ware (9:19), can you trust players from struggling teams like the Browns (20:02), Bills (31:25),  Raiders, and Bengals (38:43)?

Justin MacMahan from Daily Fantasy Insider joins the gang for today's show where we share our favorite DFS cash game and GPP plays at each position. Josh Johnson's (12:18) rushing may provide him a solid enough floor for both cash game and GPP use and Aaron Jones' (23:55) talent and upside make him ideal for tournaments. Plus, Vernon Davis (45:31) still has a lot more gas left in the tank than you might think and Randall Cobb's (56:37) tasty DB matchup makes him an ideal tournament play. Lastly, can Zach Zenner (1:02:45) get enough touches to be a sneaky GPP option? Sponsors:

Joe Pisapia, author of the Fantasy Black Book series, hops in with us as we scour through our fantasy rankings and break down which borderline players should be given the nod in your lineups this week. If he plays, should you consider benching Odell Beckham (5:43) because of how banged up he is, is it worth seeing if lightning can strike twice with Derrick Henry (17:01), and is Courtland Sutton (31:22) finally ready to start producing as Denver's top wideout? Does Josh Reynolds (35:53) carry enough upside to make him a viable dart throw and who is the better QB streamer between Josh Allen (51:42) and Nick Foles (52:56)? Sponsors:

Justin Boone of theScore joins the guys today and together we share our top waiver wire adds of the week for each position. Damien Williams (7:36) deserves your attention as the probable leader of the Chiefs backfield if Spencer Ware sits, but are Derrick Henry and Jalen Richard (20:11) even better RB options if they are still available in your league? Has Curtis Samuel (33:59) become Carolina's top wideout, is Josh Allen (35:23) a streamer-worthy option against the Lions, and can fantasy owners trust Vernon Davis (46:47) this week?

Should Derrick Henry's (6:31) outlook be adjusted after running wild on the Jaguars, are there any Packers receivers (23:07) who fantasy owners can trust outside of Davante Adams, and will Lamar Jackson (26:53) keep the Ravens' starting QB job if he's healthy?

Matthew Freedman of FantasyLabs joins the crew today as we share our top DFS plays for both cash games and GPPs. Pittsburgh's run-friendly system and Jaylen Samuels' (9:27) receiving chops make it hard to stray from him. Is Justin Jackson (18:32) truly the lead back for the Chargers and what are his odds of scoring double-digit fantasy points (21:56)? DeAndre Hopkins (32:05) offers a fantastic combination of safety and upside for a lower price than other high-end options, Antonio Brown (36:09) might be set up to disappoint relative to his cost, and Jared Cook (50:58) figures to be a target hog with relatively low ownership.

We scour through our rankings and give you the lowdown on which guys you should bench or insert into your lineups. First, we tackle the Emmanuel Sanders (1:38) injury news and discuss who will benefit the most in Denver. Will the Steelers really employ a running back committee this week (10:29) and is Curtis Samuel (29:31) a lock or are Devin Funchess' involvement and Cam Newton's shoulder bug concerns? How will Mitchell Trubisky's return and a matchup with the Rams affect Trey Burton's production (45:15) and what are our bold predictions heading into Week 14 (51:58)? Sponsors:

Brandon Marianne Lee of The Athletic joins us as we shine light on this week's top waiver pickups. Jaylen Samuels (9:46) is still worth scooping up even with James Conner's high probability of playing, but do players like Justin Jackson (12:18) and LeGarrette Blount (17:23), who will both probably start next week, deserve more or less attention? Does DeVante Parker (38:02) have enough upside to make himself worth a pickup, are there any major differences between Lamar Jackson (44:41) and Josh Allen (45:47), and does Dan Arnold (53:54) deserve your attention now that he's New Orleans' top TE? To finish things off, we tackle a listener mailbag question (58:19) regarding the best low-cost RBs and WRs in dynasty leagues. Sponsors:

At the start of the show, we dive into the fallout from this weekend's big news regarding Kareem Hunt (1:15) and project what Spencer Ware's rest of season value is like. Has Tre'Quan Smith (8:00) become droppable and how does his value compare to Courtland Sutton (19:50) and Josh Reynolds (42:43)? In addition, is it time to downgrade Aaron Rodgers (28:51) to streamer status, should we view Tevin Coleman (50:47) as nothing more than a matchup play, and who the heck is Jeff Wilson (1:00:01)?

Today we are joined by Doug Norrie from DFSR.com to break down our top DFS cash game and GPP plays for this week. Jared Goff's (10:54) matchup against Detroit might be too tasty to pass up, but would it make sense to save money and spend low at RB on Lamar Miller (22:50) and should DFS players be trying to pay up for Tyreek Hill (31:42)? Jarvis Landry (44:08) comes with some risk, but is his talent and upside worth taking a chance on in cash games? Is Cameron Brate's (48:57) upside capped or was O.J. Howard's presence holding him back, and is Baker Mayfield's (1:03:42) floor and efficiency worth banking on in GPPs against a tough Texans defense? Sponsors:

We're here to put each game under the microscope and share our biggest fantasy takeaways from Week 12's matchups. Nick Chubb (3:02) and the Cleveland Browns appear to have a bright future ahead, Amari Cooper (16:27) was definitively the standout player on Thanksgiving, and Adam Humphries (26:43) strongly deserves your attention. How should we view Doug Baldwin (46:54) and Tyler Lockett moving forward though, how much time could Melvin Gordon (56:08) miss and who would benefit the most from his absence, and is it time to drop our optimism regarding Courtland Sutton (1:01:49)?

One of the biggest performances from a Week 10 that was chalked full of offense was Eric Ebron's (3:02) three-touchdown game, but is his hyper-efficiency sustainable? Speaking of three-score outings, was Christian McCaffery's (16:29) huge game on Thursday less impressive than it may have seemed? On Sunday, we also witnessed the continuation of Tom Brady's (34:36) struggles on the road, Marlon Mack (41:55) getting held to just 29 rushing yards, and the big Aaron Jones (55:41) breakout game we've all been waiting for.

DFS Lineup Advice: Week 10 w/ Davis Mattek (Ep. 287)

72 min Transcript
View

Davis Mattek from Swolecast is in with us today while we share our top DFS plays for Week 10. Is Aaron Rodgers (6:06) or Patrick Mahomes (8:12) the preferred quarterback to pay up for in cash games? Is Tevin Coleman (20:35) a lock to hit value and does Chris Conley's (34:44) price make him an automatic play if Sammy Watkins is out? Plus, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (37:26) appears to be an excellent value option, but are both Doug Baldwin (55:34) and Blake Bortles (1:03:41) solid GPP upside plays, or are they bound to bust?

In today's episode, our crew dishes out their fantasy insight to make your lineup decisions a little easier this week. With that being said, the show kicks off with our analysis of the impact Dez Bryant's (2:17) arrival in New Orleans will have. Can Mitch Trubisky (17:54) rebound from a poor outing last week and is it time to panic about Mark Ingram (25:09)? Also, is it crazy to think that DeSean Jackson (34:37) can be a WR2 against Washington and has Rob Gronkowski (53:21) fallen from must-start status?

Sigmund Bloom (FootballGuys) is along for the ride as we give our takes on our favorite free agent pickups at each position this week. Can the Browns be trusted to be smart and give a player of Duke Johnson's (18:34) talent the touches he deserves, is Josh Adams (21:51) the Eagles' likely RB starter moving forward, and has Marquez Valdes-Scantling (31:06) started solidifying himself as a WR3? Jack Doyle's rest of season fantasy value (45:06) is thoroughly examined and the show concludes with us placing a few players under the microscope in our Buy/Sell segment (56:18).

Week 9 saw a battle between two championship contenders in the Rams and Saints, but there are plenty of other games to run through to break down the fantasy takeaways. The Raiders are worse than we thought they could be (1:28), the Vikings running back situation looks to be complicated (3:47), and Jarvis Landry may never be the wide receiver that fantasy owners hope that he is (7:21). Now might be the best time to buy Tarik Cohen (15:35), should we reconsider Kerryon Johnson's value (37:43), and should we worry about Adrian Peterson (40:53)? Julio Jones and the Falcons are flying high (43:59) and is Matt Ryan a top 3 quarterback the rest of the season (45:32)? James Conner finishes with another strong day so does Le'Veon Bell even play again this season (52:18)?

Author of the best-selling "Fantasy Black Book" series, Joe Pisapia, joins us as we break down which players fantasy owners should heavily consider adding to their rosters entering Week 5. Keke Coutee (8:09 & 11:17) received 15 targets in his debut, Nyheim Hines (22:05) might just be the back to own in Indy, and Jameis Winston (33:33) is a QB worth picking up and holding for the long-term. Winston's return also provides a healthy lift to Cameron Brate's (37:57) rest of season value, and we still cannot believe that John Brown (48:45) isn't owned everywhere.

View

Week 4 has perhaps been the most explosive week of offense in this young season so far. We break down all of Sunday's exciting action and what many of this week's huge fantasy performances could mean moving forward. Is Andrew Luck (2:52) finally back to his old self, can Kenyan Drake (9:19) be trusted, and should fantasy owners be concerned about Dalvin Cook (19:00)? Also, is Ronald Jones (34:24) now the RB to own in Tampa Bay, and has Aaron Jones (45:58) become the Packers' primary back?

68 min Transcript
View

Week 4 started off with a bang Thursday night and we're following it up with our favorite DFS plays for the weekend. Joining us on the show is Daily Fantasy Insider co-founder, Christian Abbonizio. Whether you're playing cash games (1:48) or GPP tournaments (52:14), we've got the full rundown to help you build your lineups. Starting with our favorite QBs, using Baker Mayfield in cash games isn't a bad idea (2:28), Matthew Stafford offers quality upside with a safe floor (5:05), and Andy Dalton has a great game-script (7:47). This is the week to spend up at RB (15:40) and Ezekiel Elliott (17:07) is the guy you want. Cheaper options such as Giovani Bernard (25:34) and Marshawn Lynch (28:11) on DraftKings offer plenty of value. Are Jarvis Landry (31:55) and Kenny Golladay (32:27) must-plays? We're wrapping up the show by naming our locks of the week (1:05:51).
