QB draft strategy: How valuable are they and the SuperFlex evolution
Yahoo Sports' Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski join forces to recap preseason week one and give their takeaways and biggest surprises before diving into quarterback draft strategy and how to approach quarterback in a Superflex league.2:00 - Preseason week one headlines: Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor will return to practice soon according to head coach Shane Steichen, but Matt and Scott aren't convinced the contract dispute will be resolved any time soon. Meanwhile, Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz has been cleared for week one, but he is likely not a player you should be targeting in your drafts.10:10 - Matt and Scott give their takeaways from playing time of various players in preseason action, including Tank Bigsby, Greg Dulcich, Khalil Herbert, Alexander Mattison and Kenneth Gainwell.29:55 - The quarterback position is evolving. The top quarterbacks have more value than they have in previous years, so how should you best approach the decision of whether or not to draft one early? Both hosts discuss their process for finding the next quarterback who could break into that group of elite QBs. Players like Justin Herbert and Justin Fields have a chance to join the group, or you could wait until later in the draft and chase the ceiling of guys like Anthony Richardson or Geno Smith.54:50 - Superflex has emerged as an improvement upon two-quarterback leagues, and Matt and Scott give their ideal strategy for drafting in a Superflex league. Scott thinks it's best to take three starting QBs: two who are at least solid starters, and one sleeper with a ceiling. Scott points out Mac Jones, Brock Purdy and Kenny Pickett as good sleeper options.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Show and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They also chat about Kareem Hunt passing up a deal with the Indianapolis Colts & New Orleans Saints, and how a few key running back injuries are making the current free agent pool of RBs is presenting some interesting scenarios in the fantasy landscape.For the bulk of the episode, Andy & Matt discuss why kickers & defenses matter, how to draft and manage the positions through the year and why the scoring for these oft-overlooked positions can certainly be described as volatile, but never random.In the second half of the show, the guys talk about a recent dynasty startup mock draft they participated in, what they learned from the results & some counter-intuitive strategies for nailing your dynasty roster both in the short- and long-terms.3:10 - Joe Burrow's calf injury update7:35 - Sneaky RB injuries13:15 - Why you shouldn't think of kickers as random25:55 - Why defensive scoring is so volatile44:00 - Strategy for dynasty draftsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Show and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dynasty Mock Draft: Complicated decisions after Bijan Robinson
Now that the 2023 NFL draft is in the rear-view mirror and we know where this year's rookie prospects have all landed, it's a wonderful time to look at the class of '23 through the lens of a dynasty draft. When you're drafting in this longer-timeline format, it's good to weigh both the short-term and long-term prospects of each rookie.Joining Matt Harmon for this 24-pick mini-dynasty draft is Late Round's JJ Zachariason. Before diving into the picks themselves, the guys react to some reporting over the weekend that proposes that the Kansas City Chiefs may value Kadarius Toney as ther WR1 — a bold statement indeed.For the bulk of the show, however, the guys go turn-by-turn through a fake dynasty rookie draft. Now, the first pick is pretty easy with Atlanta's Bijan Robinson, but where do Matt & JJ value backs like Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs and Seattle's Zach Charbonnet? And at what point in the draft should QBs like Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young & CJ Stroud be selected?2:15 - Buying the Kadarius Toney WR1 hype in 2023?11:30 - Dynasty Mock Draft Round 1: Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, Quentin Johnson, Anthony Richardson, Zach Charbonnet, Dalton Kincaid, Devon Achane, Jonathan Mingo, Bryce Young47:36 - Dynasty Mock Draft Round 2: Jayden Reed, Marvin Mims Jr., Kendre Miller, Sam LaPorta, Josh Downs, CJ Stroud, Michael Mayer, Jalin Hyatt, Cedric Tillman, Roschon Johnson, Rashee Rice, Tank BigsbyCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With coaching changes, free agency and the draft in the rear view mirror most rosters are set heading into training camp. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal Yahoo's Fantasy Football Team Power Rankings for all 32 teams. Harmon breaks the 32 rankings into 3 tiers: The bottom tier, middle tier, top tier. The bottom tier being offenses that look like a mess or are complete unknown based on changes made this offseason. The middle tier is teams with potentially high ceilings but also very low floors with likely a few reliable fantasy starters. The top tier being teams with the majority of their skill players being dependable fantasy starters. Harmon and Pianowski explain why the Jets are still not in the top tier and why the Chiefs are not a top five fantasy offense. They also share why there's no debate who the number one team is. 1:45 - Explaining the Fantasy Football team power rankings format4:31 - Breaking down the 3 tiers of the power rankings4:49 - The bottom tier: Teams with messy or questionable offenses11:34 - Is there a scenario Kyler Murray doesn't even play this year?15:45 - Can we trust Green Bay in fantasy with Jordan Love at QB?18:06 - The Rams are Cooper Kupp... and bust?21:35 - What's one team in the bottom tier that can make a jump up?24:03 - Why Sean Payton has more of a leash than Russell Wilson in Denver25:55 - Why Washington is a darkhorse fantasy offense30:15 - The middle tier: The high variance tier of offenses 30:45 - Is Desmond Ridder holding back Atlanta offense from greatness?39:29 - Why the Jets aren't a top tier offense yet45:21 - The Top Tier: The elite fantasy offenses in the NFL45:52 - Who's the third best fantasy option in Kansas City behind Mahomes, Kelce?57:59 - Why there's zero debate who No. 1 isSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

2023 NFL Draft Positional preview: Wide Receivers (and why they are all so short)
We are officially two weeks away from the Carolina Panthers kicking off the 2023 NFL Draft. Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald dive into maybe the most perplexing and polarizing class of this draft season: The wide receivers.But before diving into the prospects, Matt and Charles look at what DeAndre Hopkins' trade market looks like postOdell Beckham Jr. signing with the Baltimore Ravens.

Teams that will shape the 2023 Draft: Seattle Seahawks & Las Vegas Raiders
Of course the NFL had to make news over Easter weekend. Odell Beckham Jr. is officially a Baltimore Raven and we have our fantasy experts Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don break down all the real life and fantasy implications of the big move.With the Sacramento Kings set to break the longest playoff drought in the major four sports this weekend, Matt and Dalton also look at which NFL team is primed to break their postseason drought in 2023.Meanwhile, the NFL Draft is so close you can taste it. We continue our 'teams that will shape the 2023 draft series' as we dive into the state of the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders - two teams potentially going in opposite directions.Matt and Dalton look at how the Seahawks haven't rebuilt but retooled after the historic Russell Wilson trade a year ago. They also debate if it makes sense for Seattle to consider a QB in the top 10 or build a 'win-now' team around Geno Smith.To finish the show, Matt has NBC Sports' Lawrence Jackson Jr. on to discuss where exactly the Las Vegas Raiders franchise is headed this year and why their decision with the No. 7 pick will reveal what they really think of Jimmy Garoppolo as their quarterback.2:26 - Breaking down the Odell Beckham Jr. signing for Ravens and Lamar Jackson13:08 - Who's ending their long NFL playoff drought this year between the Jets, Broncos and Lions?16:14 - One year later: Is the Russell Wilson trade the most lopsided deal in NFL history?24:08 - Should Seattle draft a QB or go "all in" with Geno Smith?43:50 - Is Jimmy G an upgrade over Derek Carr in Vegas?58:30 - Are the Raiders serious about drafting a QB this year?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

2023 NFL Draft Positional Preview: Quarterbacks (and why we're having 2018 QB class flashbacks)
In this month-long lead up to the 2023 NFL draft at the end of April, it seems like all of the discussion has centered around the top four quarterbacks, who could all likely be selected with the top four picks. After discussing the 2023 class of running backs last week, Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald spend today's podcast finally diving into this year's blockbuster QB draft class in Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's CJ Stroud, Florida's Anthony Richardson & Kentucky's Will Levis.Before they talk about this year's class, the guys spend the first 20 minutes of the show looking back at the 2018 QB class and the odd similarities between this year's prospects and that year's group, which included Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson.For the bulk of the episode however, they talk about how Young, Stroud, Richardson & Levis are being evaluated by NFL front offices, their green flags, their red flags and why it's very likely we could see all four be selected with the top four picks, but not in the order you might imagine.At the tail end of the pod, they discuss Tennessee's Hendon Hooker and other wild card QBs who may be of interest later in the draft.0:00 - Introduction & revisiting the 2018 QB class18:10 - Alabama QB Bryce Young27:50 - Ohio State QB CJ Stroud33:15 - Florida QB Anthony Richardson44:15 - Kentucky QB Will Levis52:05 - Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker59:15 - Any wild card QBs deeper in the draft?Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Teams that will shape the 2023 Draft: Indianapolis Colts & Detroit Lions
Our teams that will shape the draft series rolls on this April with the Indianapolis Colts and the Detroit Lions. Matt Harmon is joined at the top of the show by our very own Scott Pianowski to report on the pulse of the Lions franchise, but before that they tackle a few pressing news stories.First, they talk about the Tennessee Titans reportedly being interested in trading up for the third overall pick, currently held by the Arizona Cardinals. Next, they talk about Dalvin Cook's recovery from a February shoulder surgery and whether he may be shopped by the Minnesota Vikings later this offseason. Closing out the news segment, Matt & Scott discuss reports that the New England Patriots may have tried to trade Mac Jones this offseason amid purported animosity between the former first round QB and Bill Belichick.Next, Matt & Scott dive into what the Detroit Lions could do in this year's draft, with both the 6th and 18th overall draft picks. With a strong roster that barely missed out on the playoffs, could they take a QB with their first pick in an attempt to find a long-term solution after the Jared Goff era? Or will they bolster their offensive and defensive lines and possibly add a tight end replacement to TJ Hockenson?Afterwards, Matt is joined by Yahoo Sports senior NFL writer Charles Robinson to get an insider's take on the Indianapolis Colts, who, with the 4th overall pick in the draft, certainly have their eyes on a QB. But could that QB be Lamar Jackson instead of one of the 4 top incoming rookies? Charles explains all of the different scenarios that could befall the Colts in what is shaping up to be a chaotic draft.0:00 - Introduction & a Star Wars tangent7:40 - Tennessee interested in trading up for 3rd overall pick?12:55 - Dalvin Cook's recovery from shoulder surgery & Minnesota's backfield15:45 - Are the Patriots shopping Mac Jones?23:50 - What will the Detroit Lions do with the 6th and 18th draft picks?42:35 - Colts want a QB, but will they get the one they want at 4th overall?Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Aaron Rodgers boards the Jets, could Patriots make a big WR trade, Cowboys part from Zeke & more free agency reactions
Most of the NFL's juiciest player moves occurred during the early-week "legal tampering" period, but as free agency kicked off in earnest on Wednesday, there were still plenty of signings for fantasy managers to feast on. The biggest move wasn't even technically a transaction, as the endlessly introspective Aaron Rodgers announced his intention to be traded to the New York Jets, but nothing will be official until the Green Bay Packers sort out trade compensation with his team of the future.Matt Harmon is joined by Fantasy Life's Dwain McFarland to look at all of the biggest moves from Wednesday and Thursday, starting off with a deep-dive on the Jets offense with Rodgers at the helm. How high up should managers draft sophomore WR Garrett Wilson next year? What about third-year WR Elijah Moore who had an intriguing first season in New York, but found himself in the doghouse for much of 2022?Later, Matt and Dwain talk about the New England Patriots signing JuJu Smith-Schuster and whether they could be in the market to trade for a Cardinals or Broncos wideout. They also react to the week's news that the Dallas Cowboys would be releasing RB Ezekiel Elliott and they talk about their favorite potential Zeke landing spots.Wrapping up the show, they discuss moves made by the Carolina Panthers & run through a number of other free agency additions, including a trio of lesser QB moves in Baker Mayfield, Jacoby Brissett & Gardner Minshew & three RBs who signed new deals in David Montgomery, Jamaal Williams & Alexander Mattison.3:55 Aaron Rodgers' fantasy fit with the New York Jets offense14:55 New England Patriots sign JuJu Smith-Schuster, could be in the market for a WR trade30:30 Ezekiel Elliot to be cut by Dallas Cowboys40:00 New homes for Baker Mayfield, Jacoby Brissett & Gardner Minshew48:00 Carolina Panthers sign Miles Sanders, could add another WR53:50 David Montgomery goes to Detroit, Jamaal Williams to New Orleans & Alexander Mattison stays in Minnesota61:30 Grab bag moves: Giants sign two WRs; Robert Tonyan; Braxton Berrios; Orlando Brown;Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fantasy Football Lessons Learned: WRs & TEs
Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get to enjoy themselves, for a while, and talk about lessons learned at the WR position from the 2021-22 NFL season before having to talk about what happened to the TE position.They start at the top, with Justin Jefferson as WR1 and the lessons we can take away from his awesome season before wondering if he’d be the #1 WR picked next year or if Ja’Marr Chase is ready to pass him.After working their way through the top 12 WRs with lessons for each one of them, mostly that we should trust the talent and ignore everything else when it comes to elite WRs, the guys move on to trying to solve the TE position.Matt believes that this last season was an aberration for TEs and that they’ll come back to reality next year, while Dalton is more concerned about whether it’s (again) time for him to fade Travis Kielce.02:15 Lessons Learned: Wide Receiver06:40 Rookie WRs08:00 WR1 Justin Jefferson11:10 WR12 Ja’Marr Chase12:40 WR2 Tyreek Hill14:35 WR3 Davante Adams19:40 WR4 Stefon Diggs23:40 WR5 A.J.

They also discuss rushing QBs and whether they’re worth the injury risk to get the fantasy value from them.The top fantasy QB for the season was Patrick Mahomes, and most of the lessons learned are about how no other QB can justifiably be compared to him. However, there was plenty to learn from guys like Josh Allen (high floor), Jalen Hurts (influx in talent helps), Geno Smith (we should’ve seen it coming), Trevor Lawrence (coaching matters) and more.02:15 Late round QB?04:20 Steep cliff at QB in 202210:40 Rushing QBs15:10 Patrick Mahomes23:00 Josh Allen26:50 Jalen Hurts32:00 QB aging curve44:00 Joe Burrow46:15 Geno Smith50:45 Justin Fields54:15 Kirk Cousins55:45 Trevor Lawrence58:40 Daniel Jones61:10 Jared Goff63:25 Who should be the QB in SF?Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Super Bowl LVII Recap: Mahomes or Hurts in fantasy next year?
Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap the Kansas City Chiefs’ exciting 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, but the conversation pretty quickly turns to next year’s fantasy value for Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Travis Kielce, Isiah Pacheco, Miles Sanders and just about everyone else who played in this game.The guys start off by talking about the late-game penalty that kept the Eagles from being able to make a game-winning (or overtime-forcing) drive at the end of regulation, and the Eagles classy response to the flag, before turning their attention to the game and the talent on both of these rosters.Patrick Mahomes is on his way to becoming the best QB in the history of the league, the AFC is absolutely loaded, and the Eagles are still probably the most talented roster in the entire NFL. This may not be the last time we see either of these teams, or both of these teams, in the Super Bowl over the next few years.The guys have some fun conversations on if they’d rather have Mahomes or Hurts on their fantasy team next year, what the Eagles’ backfield could look like, how Ryan Tannehill must’ve felt watching A.J. Brown in the Super Bowl, and what lessons the rest of the NFL can take away in terms of drafting and developing QBs.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Super Bowl preview, Pro Bowl recap & an early NFL Draft preview
Matt Harmon returns, along with Charles McDonald, to talk about everything that is going on and has gone on over the last week.The guys kick things off by discussing the news, starting with a couple of NFL legends retiring (A.J. Green & Tom Brady) and ending with a bunch of new head coaches around the league (Frank Reich to the Panthers, Sean Payton to the Broncos, DeMeco Ryans to the Texans, etc.). They also dig in on some new coordinators, including Kellen Moore taking over the Chargers’ offense.Charles talks about what he liked and didn’t like while on the ground in Las Vegas for the Pro Bowl festivities before telling the story of why he wasn’t able to get into this year’s Shrine Bowl, but he’s not too high on this year’s draft class anyway.Matt and Charles then discuss some offseason and preseason takes on the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, and how both teams have made those takes look stupid in hindsight.Finally, we end with Charles reintroducing himself to Andy Reid and talking about Mac & cheese.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 coach10:00 Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett to be their new OC17:20 49ers at Eagles40:00 Bengals at ChiefsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 2017:55 Eagles 38, Giants 730:05 Bengals 27, Bills 1049:25 49ers 19, Cowboys 12Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 Chiefs20:55 Giants at Eagles35:00 Bengals at Bills50:15 Cowboys at 49ersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 1412:05 49ers 41, Seahawks 2324:25 Jaguars 31, Chargers 3038:20 Bills 34, Dolphins 3147:20 Giants 31, Vikings 2458:15 Bengals 24, Ravens 1767:00 Last Treviso Babes UpdateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 49ers18:20 Chargers at Jaguars33:20 Dolphins at Bills44:55 Giants at Vikings57:15 Ravens at Bengals67:20 Cowboys at BuccaneersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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!02:55 Lions 20, Packers 1609:10 Bills 35, Patriots 2314:15 Bengals 27, Ravens 1615:30 Jaguars 20, Titans 1622:45 Seahawks 19, Rams 1629:20 Dolphins 11, Jets 632:35 Texans 32, Colts 3136:55 Vikings 29, Bears 1339:35 Panthers 10, Saints 741:20 Chiefs 31, Raiders 1344:00 Eagles 22, Giants 1646:20 Commanders 26, Cowboys 649:30 Steelers 28, Browns 1454:30 49ers 38, Cardinals 1358:35 Broncos 31, Chargers 2861:30 Falcons 30, Buccaneers 17Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.06:15 Chiefs at Raiders12:35 Vikings at Bears15:50 Giants at Eagles19:00 Patriots at Bills28:00 Ravens at Bengals35:45 Panthers at Saints41:50 Rams at Seahawks45:50 Cowboys at Commanders49:45 Browns at Steelers53:15 Buccaneers at Falcons56:45 Cardinals at 49ers61:20 Titans at Jaguars65:15 Chargers at Broncos67:25 Jets at Dolphins70:25 Texans at Colts72:20 Lions at PackersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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!03:50 49ers 37, Raiders 34 (OT)10:45 Buccaneers 30, Panthers 2419:50 Lions 41, Bears 1026:55 Packers 41, Vikings 1734:45 Patriots 23, Dolphins 2139:35 Chiefs 27, Broncos 2444:20 Jaguars 31, Texans 346:05 Chargers 31, Rams 1050:30 Seahawks 23, Jets 653:30 Giants 38, Colts 1058:50 Saints 20, Eagles 1061:40 Falcons 20, Cardinals 1963:40 Browns 24, Commanders 1066:35 Steelers 16, Ravens 13Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.02:20 Bears at Lions08:40 Vikings at Packers12:40 Broncos at Chiefs17:20 Jaguars at Texans20:00 Rams at Chargers24:00 Jets at Seahawks26:50 Saints at Eagles32:30 Cardinals at Falcons38:20 49ers at Raiders43:35 Dolphins at Patriots45:45 Panthers at Buccaneers50:45 Browns at Commanders53:15 Colts at Giants56:25 Steelers at Ravens59:00 Bills at BengalsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.01:50 Houston Texans03:50 Chicago Bears06:20 Arizona Cardinals08:25 Denver Broncos10:20 Indianapolis Colts13:25 Atlanta Falcons15:00 Los Angeles Rams16:45 Carolina Panthers21:00 Cleveland Browns23:00 Las Vegas Raiders28:45 New Orleans Saints30:25 Detroit Lions33:10 Green Bay Packers36:15 Jacksonville Jaguars37:20 New England Patriots38:55 New York Jets39:45 Seattle Seahawks41:30 Pittsburgh Steelers42:30 Tampa Bay Buccaneers45:45 Washington Commanders48:50 Miami Dolphins50:35 New York Giants52:05 Los Angeles Chargers54:00 Baltimore Ravens54:50 Cincinnati Bengals55:35 San Francisco 49ers58:00 Buffalo Bills59:05 Kansas City Chiefs61:30 Minnesota Vikings64:10 Philadelphia Eagles66:00 TNF: Cowboys at TitansCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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 16.02:20 Packers at Dolphins07:40 Seahawks at Chiefs14:50 Giants at Vikings20:15 Eagles at Cowboys27:20 Lions at Panthers30:35 Bengals at Patriots33:40 Bills at Bears37:00 Raiders at Steelers40:30 Commanders at 49ers46:30 Broncos at Rams49:00 Texans at Titans53:55 Falcons at Ravens57:10 Saints at Browns62:05 Buccaneers at Cardinals64:55 Chargers at ColtsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.00:45 NFL games on Christmas & Christmas Eve02:40 Houston Texans06:00 Chicago Bears07:50 Los Angeles Rams09:40 Denver Broncos11:25 Arizona Cardinals13:15 Indianapolis Colts15:50 New Orleans Saints19:05 Carolina Panthers21:20 Atlanta Falcons23:30 Tampa Bay Buccaneers28:15 Pittsburgh Steelers30:15 Las Vegas Raiders31:45 Green Bay Packers34:45 Cleveland Browns35:55 Tennessee Titans37:20 Seattle Seahawks40:00 New England Patriots42:50 Detroit Lions44:25 Washington Commanders45:35 Miami Dolphins47:05 Los Angeles Chargers49:55 New York Giants50:50 Baltimore Ravens52:05 San Francisco 49ers55:00 Dallas Cowboys56:45 Cincinnati Bengals62:25 Minnesota Vikings63:00 Kansas City Chiefs65:10 Buffalo Bills66:25 Philadelphia Eagles68:45 TNF: Jaguars at JetsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.05:05 NEWS / Jonathan Taylor high ankle sprain12:15 NEWS / Jaguars LT Cam Robinson torn meniscus18:20 NEWS / Jets QB Mike White (ribs) has “a lot of hurdles to clear”24:30 NEWS / Packers waive WR Sammy Watkin25:40 SNF: Giants 20, Commanders 1237:00 Waiver Wire Etiquette41:45 Waiver Wire Pickups: Running Backs49:05 Waiver Wire Pickups: Wide Receivers & Tight Ends56:35 Waiver Wire Pickups: Brock Purdy60:05 Drops64:10 Hold On Loosely67:35 Treviso Babes UpdateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.03:35 Chiefs 30, Texans 24 (OT)13:20 Chargers 17, Titans 1416:40 Lions 20, Jets 1723:30 Jaguars 40, Cowboys 34 (OT)31:05 Bengals 34, Buccaneers 2335:00 Saints 21, Falcons 1838:30 Eagles 25, Bears 2042:00 Raiders 30, Patriots 2444:40 Steelers 24, Panthers 1647:15 Broncos 24, Cardinals 1551:00 Saturday takeawaysCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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!02:10 Philadelphia Eagles05:55 Buffalo Bills09:25 Dallas Cowboys11:40 Kansas City Chiefs15:30 Minnesota Vikings17:50 Baltimore Ravens21:00 Cincinnati Bengals23:30 Miami Dolphins28:00 New York Giants30:40 Washington Commanders32:30 Los Angeles Chargers34:50 New England Patriots36:45 New York Jets38:50 Tennessee Titans40:15 Detroit Lions42:40 Tampa Bay Buccaneers45:10 Atlanta Falcons47:10 Carolina Panthers48:10 Cleveland Browns50:20 Green Bay Packers51:45 Jacksonville Jaguars54:00 Las Vegas Raiders55:45 Pittsburgh Steelers56:25 Indianapolis Colts58:10 Arizona Cardinals59:30 Los Angeles Rams61:05 New Orleans Saints62:45 Chicago Bears63:55 Denver Broncos67:00 Houston Texans67:15 TNF 49ers at SeahawksCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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.02:40 Lions 34, Vikings 2314:40 Jaguars 36, Titans 2224:15 Eagles 48, Giants 2229:10 Bills 20, Jets 1236:50 Bengals 23, Browns 1043:00 Cowboys 27, Texans 2347:20 Chiefs 34, Broncos 2855:10 49ers 35, Buccaneers 761:40 Panthers 30, Seahawks 2464:50 Ravens 16, Steelers 14Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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!02:30 Eagles at Giants07:40 Jets at Bills17:00 Vikings at Lions22:20 Jaguars at Titans30:55 Browns at Bengals36:25 Texans at Cowboys40:10 Chiefs at Broncos48:50 Buccaneers at 49ers58:00 Panthers at Seahawks61:25 Ravens at Steelers64:50 SNF Dolphins at Chargers70:20 MNF Patriots at CardinalsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.02:30 NEWS / Lamar Jackson is “unlikely” to play in week 14 vs. PIT09:45 NEWS / Dolphins place OT Austin Jackson on IR15:25 NEWS / Seahawks RB Ken Walker “jammed” his ankle18:40 QB News Roundup26:45 SNF Recap: Cowboys 54, Colts 1939:15 Waiver Wire Pickups: Running Backs48:40 Waiver Wire Pickups: Wide Receivers56:30 Waiver Wire Pickups: Quarterbacks61:35 Waiver Wire Pickups: Tight Ends63:20 Drops66:15 Hold on loosely69:20 Treviso Babes updateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.01:00 49ers 33, Dolphins 1709:15 Bengals 27, Chiefs 2417:35 Raiders 27, Chargers 2025:15 Vikings 27, Jets 2232:10 Lions 40, Jaguars 1437:45 Eagles 35, Titans 1042:00 Packers 28, Bears 1947:55 Commanders 20, Giants 2052:00 Browns 27, Texans 1458:30 Seahawks 27, Rams 2363:40 Steelers 19, Falcons 1666:30 Ravens 10, Broncos 9Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.03:00 Dolphins at 49ers11:00 Chiefs at Bengals16:15 Chargers at Raiders21:25 Jets at Vikings28:50 Jaguars at Lions33:10 Titans at Eagles40:15 Steelers at Falcons43:45 Packers at Bears49:00 Broncos at Ravens54:55 Commanders at Giants59:10 Browns at Texans63:50 Seahawks at Rams65:50 SNF: Colts at Cowboys72:20 MNF: Saints at BuccaneersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trying out a new format, Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get together and come up with one interesting stat for all 32 NFL teams.Find out why Chris Olave might be on the Justin Jefferson trajectory, how the Bengals fixed their offense, why DeAndre Hopkins’ usage was different in his first week back, who Aaron Rodgers should give his MVP Award to, what the Buccaneers offense is doing wrong, why Daniel Jones and Justin Fields are better fantasy QBs than you think and a lot more.The guys also preview the Thursday night matchup between the Bucs and Ravens, and discuss if Baltimore’s rushing identity has returned for real and why they were forced to adjust.05:05 Philadelphia Eagles07:20 New York Giants10:30 Buffalo Bills13:30 Minnesota Vikings15:15 Dallas Cowboys17:45 Kansas City Chiefs20:20 New York Jets24:45 Tennessee Titans26:00 Cincinnati Bengals30:00 Los Angeles Chargers33:00 Miami Dolphins33:55 Seattle Seahawks35:15 Indianapolis Colts37:10 Los Angeles Rams39:00 Arizona Cardinals40:25 Atlanta Falcons42:00 Chicago Bears43:15 Green Bay Packers46:25 New England Patriots46:55 San Francisco 49ers50:40 Washington Commanders51:20 Las Vegas Raiders52:20 Carolina Panthers53:15 Cleveland Browns54:25 Denver Broncos56:40 Jacksonville Jaguars57:00 New Orleans Saints58:20 Pittsburgh Steelers58:45 Houston Texans59:30 Detroit Lions60:15 TNF PREVIEW: Baltimore Ravens at Tampa Bay BuccaneersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.01:30 Cardinals trade for WR Robbie Anderson following WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown injury12:45 WR DeSean Jackson visiting Ravens14:20 Carson Wentz out for 4-6 weeks, Taylor Heinicke to get Commanders starting QB job19:55 Rams LT Joe Noteboom out for season with torn Achilles20:50 SNF Philadelphia Eagles 26, Dallas Cowboys 1731:00 Waiver Wire Pickups - Running Backs37:30 Waiver Wire Pickups - Wide Receivers41:30 Change in the Indianapolis Colts offensive identity?46:40 Waiver Wire Pickups - Quarterbacks & Tight Ends52:25 Drops55:50 Hold on loosely58:45 Getting in early61:20 Treviso Babes updateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.02:30 Bills 24, Chiefs 2012:55 Seahawks 19, Cardinals 918:50 Bengals 30, Saints 2624:10 Colts 34, Jaguars 2732:10 Steelers 20, Buccaneers 1841:30 Vikings 24, Dolphins 1646:10 Giants 24, Ravens 2052:30 Jets 27, Packers 1060:15 Patriots 38, Browns 1565:45 Falcons 28, 49ers 1470:30 Rams 24, Panthers 10Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.01:25 Bills at Chiefs10:45 Cardinals at Seahawks20:10 Jaguars at Colts28:40 Vikings at Dolphins33:40 Ravens at Giants39:15 Buccaneers at Steelers46:15 Jets at Packers51:15 Bengals at Saints58:30 Patriots at Browns63:35 49ers at Falcons67:15 Panthers at Rams70:00 Cowboys at Eagles73:55 Broncos at ChargersCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
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.

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.

Stat Nerd Thursday: Kyler Murray has made the leap
Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don get together to discuss some of their favorite deeper, hidden stats while trying to figure out which teams are actually good (Cardinals, Raiders, Panthers) for fantasy purposes and which teams should be avoided completely (49ers, Jaguars, Raiders RBs).

Is Tony Pollard killing Zeke’s value?
What has changed in Kyler’s game?
How long can the 49ers last playing such a conservative style?

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.Stay up to date with the latest fantasy football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooFantasyFollow Andy @AndyBehrensFollow Dalton @DaltonDelDonFollow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBFollow Scott @Scott_PianowskiCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Stay up to date with the latest fantasy football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooFantasyFollow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Eric @Eric_EdholmCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Remember to stay tuned to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which will now have FIVE new episodes per week!Follow Dalton: @daltondeldonFollow Matt: @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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?

(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.

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.Remember to stay tuned to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which will now have FIVE new episodes per week!Follow Andy: @andybehrensFollow Alfred: @al_ff_redCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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?

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

(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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

'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?Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt: @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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!

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.

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?Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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)[Yahoo Sportsbook powered by BetMGM: Deposit $10, Get $100 in Free Bets.

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.

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.

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.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Oh, and don’t forget to join the Week 12 NFL $200K Baller daily fantasy contest.

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?

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.

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.

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).

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

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' lasElsewhere 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?Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

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).

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).Oh, and don’t forget to join the Week 6 NFL $300K Baller daily fantasy contest.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.” #SpicySpeaking 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)Oh, and don’t forget to join the Week 5 NFL $350K Baller daily fantasy contest.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Oh, and don’t forget to join the Week 4 NFL $400K Baller daily fantasy contest.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Oh, and don’t forget to join the Week 3 NFL $500K Baller daily fantasy contest.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBFollow Scott @scott_pianowski See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBFollow Andy @AndyBehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

How many should go in the round?

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!Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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?Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466).And please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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 (.

To keep or not to keep Christian McCaffrey, 'Ma'am's,' and QB updates

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.

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).

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).[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]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).

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.'[Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today]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).Remember to leave your voicemail for a future episode at 888-85-YAHOO (that's 888-859-2466)Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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).

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBFollow Eric @Eric_Edholm See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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?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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).

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).[Best bracket wins $1M: Enter our free contest now! | Printable bracket]Leave a voicemail on a future episode by calling (888) 85-YAHOO or (888) 859-2466.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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."

Flacco the Bronco, Le'Veon Bell, and questions for the AFC East
John Elway got his man ... I guess.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton @daltondeldonFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.Matt and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @DaltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @DaltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @DaltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.Matt and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Matt: @MattHarmon_BYBFollow Dalton: @DaltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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).Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @DaltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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).Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.

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.Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @daltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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?Liz and Dalton then wrap up with a couple bargains and fades for Yahoo Daily Fantasy.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @daltondeldonFollow Brad: @YahooNoiseFollow Andy: @Andybehrens See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Follow Liz: @LizLoza_FFFollow Dalton: @Daltondeldon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.Remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
