During the summer, we talk a lot about not over-emphasizing offensive contexts when deciding whether or not to draft a player. But situations *do* matter! Of course they do! We're just not amazing at predicting them beforehand. Now that we're six games into the season, we have a much *better* sense of which offenses offer great environmental upside…

Also, we'll review film of the Monday night Bills/Jets game and several other Week 6 contests we haven't gotten to yet, in order to give you some fantasy football direction going fo…

The Lions crushed the Cowboys and reasserted themselves as a top offensive environment in the NFL. The Falcons ran hog-wild over the Panthers are reminded us why their RBs are special. The Patriots and Broncos scuffled along with rookie QBs, while players like Gabe Davis, J.K. Dobbins, Cole Kmet and Terry McLaurin had great fantasy days. We'll try …

Sometimes handling the fantasy football trade market is about the players you *don't* involve in a trade! Today, we're going to list some guys whose stocks are very high but we won't be dealing them away, and some guys whose stocks are very low but we wouldn't buy them. In addition, we'll break down what happened Thursday night in the 49ers win ove…

It's time to get those Week 6 fantasy football lineups in order, and to help you pick your final starting player we're gonna groove along to some Flexual Healing. We'll teach you where to cross over the running back or receiver you're considering at flex, depending on what level of upside/risk you'd like to embrace. We'll also pick our lineups for …

Garrett Wilson has been frustrating. Breece Hall has been a borderline disaster.

Week 5 in the NFL featured some wild shootouts and some merciless slogs, and they all influenced how your fantasy football team performed.

Should you think…

Our trade talk continues, as we pick out some players we would consider dealing away right now. These aren't necessarily players we think are bad. We don't want to just give most of them away! But everyone is available at the right price, and we'll try and come up with some right prices that will make your fantasy squad better. We'll also review th…

We warn you not to base your fantasy drafts too much on perceived team situations, because we're often wrong about which NFL offenses will present elite environments. But now we're a month into the 2024 NFL season and we can legitimately start making distinctions: which offenses are wagons? Which offenses are disgusting? We'll give our assessments!…

Few things are more frustrating in fantasy football than making start/sit decisions on struggling would-be stars. Should you run De'Von Achane out there week after week in what feels like a hopeless situation? How many more chances should you give Brandon Aiyuk? Is Mark Andrews a must-bench? We'll discuss our Week 5 fantasy football rankings throug…

On today's show, we'll make some suggestions for players we would try and trade for! Plus we'll review the Cowbo…

One week later...and suddenly use all your Carolina Panthers? That's probably an exaggeration, but there are actual concrete on-field reasons to suspect that the offensive environment in Carolina *did* actually get better with Andy Dalton under center, and it's an example of how fast our perceptions of a fantasy player's situation can change. We'll…

It's time to start putting together those Week 4 fantasy football lineups, and our goal for today's podcast is to help you with your toughest start/sit decisions.

The Class Of 2024 rookies has been a mixed bag.

On today's pod, we'll discuss the rookies so far in …
