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

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

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

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

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

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

Jason Moore from The Fantasy Footballers is with our crew today as we all share our analysis on which borderline players should be stuck in lineups or sat on the bench. With Marlon Mack (7:20) still in concussion protocol, will Jordan Wilkins or Nyheim Hines be the main beneficiary if Mack is out, are Jordan Howard (21:37) and Doug Martin (23:48) both startable options, and should fantasy owners fear Larry Fitzgerald's (35:49) matchup? Is it time for everyone to acknowledge Adam Humphries' (40:37) consistency and how high is Lamar Jackson's (53:46) ceiling?

Pat Fitzmaurice from TheFootballGirl.com joins today's show and together we give our thoughts on this week's top waiver wire options for each position. How big will Justin Jackson's (4:20) role be without Melvin Gordon, who is the preferred pickup between Josh Adams and Gus Edwards (18:09), and what concerns should fantasy owners have regarding Curtis Samuel (28:38)? In addition, which defenses can do the most damage in the fantasy playoffs (41:08) and has Baker Mayfield (50:21) already established himself as a top-10 QB?

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