Are You DRAFTING Or PASSING on These Players in 2025? (Ep. 1597)

It's that time to get your waiver claims set and we're back to help as we go position-by-position naming our favorite pickups as well as what we'd spend to get our guys. At the RB position, find out why Jeff Wilson (4:19) and Carlos Hyde (6:27) should top your lists while the New England backfield is one that could give you headaches down the road (13:49). Justin Jefferson (21:55), Bradon Aiyuk (23:14) and Alshon Jeffery (24:24) are the favorites for most to pick up, but Yates has different thoughts that you won't want to miss. Stick around if you need to stream a QB (42:38) or a D/ST (53:03) and see who we're willing to move on from in our "Drop or Keep" segment (56:35).

It was a breakout week for a few rookie WRs so what should we expect from Justin Jefferson (3:38), Brandon Aiyuk (5:03) and Tee Higgins (6:09) moving forward? Is it time to finally admit that Odell Beckham Jr. is not going to be the receiver fantasy managers need him to be (7:39) and is Adam Thielen's quiet day worrisome (18:22)? Both 49ers backup RBs played well (20:57), but is there any startable option for the Giants (22:57)? Nick Foles looks like the new starter in Chicago (28:43), Todd Gurley is looking like a shell of his former self (32:06) and Joe Mixon should be on your trade radar to acquire (33:30). Tags finally admits that Josh Allen has proven himself worthy (42:46), Dan pokes fun at Yates about Mike Davis (49:52) and nobody knows what to do with the Lions (54:10) and Bucs RBs (58:12).

Dr. David Chao of ProFootballDoc.com is back with us for another week to talk about the latest rash of injuries including what to expect in the future from Julio Jones, Davante Adams (0:42), George Kittle (3:33), Raheem Mostert (5:16), Christian McCaffrey (6:48) and of course Tyrod Taylor's situation (12:00). Before jumping into the tough start/sit decisions, we're going rapid fire and giving our over/under picks for our FantasyPros Over/Under Challenge (20:03). Onto the matchups, are there any Raiders players managers should start outside of Waller or Jacobs (32:20)? Which RB for the 49ers is worth rolling out (40:25) and will Devonta Freeman do anything for the Giants (42:19)? The guys have major disagreements about T.Y. Hilton (1:02:19) and what should managers expect from another popular waiver pickup in Mike Davis (1:05:02)?

Vlad Sedler of EliteFantasy.com joins us as we shed light on all the top plays for Week 3's main DFS slate. Is Derrick Henry (2:53) primed to bounce back in a big way or is he too expensive to hit value in cash games? Also, is D.J. Moore (27:13) better suited in cash games or GPP formats this week and does Noah Fant's (42:36) very low usage among DFS players make him a solid GPP gamble with Courtland Sutton sidelined?

We're back with a jam-packed show to help you with your start/sit decisions for Week 3! Are people overlooking Joshua Kelley (7:03) as a locked-in RB2, is Jeff Wilson (13:26) San Francisco's true lead back over Jerick McKinnon (11:35), and is it time to start viewing Ryan Tannehill (34:16) as a QB1? Why is the industry so low on James Conner (40:47), what do we do with Leonard Fournette (52:46), and is it wise to start Devonta Freeman (59:37)?

Paige Dimakos of The Draft Network is with us as we deep dive into which players have been traded the most, share our top buy and sell candidates, and elaborate on who has risen and fallen the most in our rest of season rankings. Is A.J. Green (16:47) done or is he primed to rebound, how should fantasy managers feel about Mark Ingram (25:18) moving forward, and is it time pawn off T.J. Hockenson (41:48) and cash in on the hype? The show finishes with us answering your listener mailbag questions (1:01:03). Sponsors: SuperDraft - The future of fantasy sports has arrived!

Who are the top adds after Mike Davis (0:15) and Darrell Henderson (17:46), is Michael Pittman Jr. (34:32) the best wideout to snag, and was Dalton Schultz's (52:18) Week 2 production a one-off or is he locked into a big role moving forward?

Another Sunday is in the books! We kick off our weekly recap by quickly going over the plethora of notable injuries we witnessed on Sunday (1:41). Are we undervaluing Stefon Diggs and John Brown (4:11), is Diontae Johnson (32:42) still someone that fantasy managers can buy low on despite his nice game, and should we expect Tyrod Taylor (57:13) to return as the Chargers' starting QB or has Justin Herbert stolen the job?
