NFL Free Agency Predictions: Where Do the Biggest Names Wind Up? (Ep. 1237)

We've got a fun show in store for you today with Pat Mayo, host of The Pat Mayo Experience! Derrick Henry's (3:44) crazy volume compared to his price sets him up as the best high-end RB play on both DraftKings and FanDuel. If James Conner sits, who is the better cash game play between Jonathan Taylor (16:56) and Benny Snell? JuJu Smith-Schuster (37:27) might be a great GPP contrarian play if James Conner sits and it may be wise to use Ryan Tannehill (55:43) as a part of a sneaky good Titans stack.

Eric Moody of The Athletic is on with us today as we analyze how Michael Thomas' (5:20) injury impacts the fantasy landscape and dive into our top starts and sits of the week. Is J.K. Dobbins (13:17) a must-start RB if he retains his goal-line role, will Jamison Crowder (25:17) have another double-digit target game, and is Chris Carson (37:59) destined to see fewer than 10 carries again? The guys close the show by previewing Thursday night's matchup between the Bengals and Browns (50:26). Sponsors: SuperDraft - The future of fantasy sports has arrived!

We're joined by fantasy sports OG, Brandon Funston of The Athletic! We kick things off by recapping both Monday night games and offering our thoughts on the state of the Steelers' backfield (3:47). How do we feel about Malcolm Brown moving forward (20:47), is Christian Kirk (40:04) worth rostering anymore, and should fantasy managers test the waters and shop Cam Newton (57:59) after his strong performance? The show concludes with a couple mailbag questions and one revolves around whether Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb (1:02:27) are destined to be a part of a 50/50 timeshare in Cleveland.

The full crew is on today to break down the best waiver adds heading into Week 2. Is Malcolm Brown (10:40) the de facto top pickup or should Nyheim Hines (14:27) be your No. 1 waiver priority? Parris Campbell (31:11) may headline a list of compelling free agent WRs and Gardner Minshew (46:35) appears to be a viable weekly option at QB.

We're joined by Dr. David Chao, founder of ProFootballDoc.com, to answer our most pressing injury questions for Week 1, like how concerned should we be about Mike Evans' (4:45) hamstring injury? Yates and Dan then discuss every single game taking place this week, including last night's bout between the Texans and Chiefs. Where would we take Clyde Edwards-Helaire (21:15) if we were drafting right now, is Marvin Jones (34:11) a viable option regardless of whether or not Kenny Golladay plays (33:03), and should fantasy managers think twice about starting Amari Cooper (1:01:32) against Jalen Ramsey?

Our trio reunites to bring you their top starts and sits of the week! Have fantasy managers been too hard on Le'Veon Bell (8:18) and is Mitch Trubisky (29:46) a viable streamer? It's tough to be enthusiastic about starting Nick Chubb (38:46) and deep leaguers may want to exercise caution if they're contemplating Latavius Murray (49:57) as a flex option.
