Is Christian McCaffrey Worth The Risk? | BOOM Or BUST Running Backs: Draft Or Fade? (Ep. 1595)

Davis Mattek from Swolecast is back with the guys to chat about the best cash game and GPP plays on FanDuel and DraftKings for the regular season's final week. Will Christian McCaffrey (2:13) be the slam-dunk play he has been almost all season, is Leonard Fournette (13:40) worth a spot in your cash game lineups, and is Jameis Winston (30:05) this week's top QB play? Also, could John Ross (44:09) and Justice Hill (48:23) explode this week and provide major value in GPPs?

The guys are back for the final weekly recap of the 2019 NFL season and share their thoughts on what 2020 might have in store for fantasy owners. How much has Kenyan Drake's (4:58) tenure with the Cardinals affected his stock, did Jameis Winston's (10:43) clunker alter his future with Tampa Bay, and can DeVante Parker (27:46) be trusted as a WR2 next year? Where will Lamar Jackson (41:32) be drafted in 2020, how much upside does Courtland Sutton (56:17) have with Drew Lock under center, and what do we expect from Kyler Murray (1:00:20) heading into next season?

We've got Derek Carty of ESPN and RotoGrinders in with us while we break down this week's top plays in cash games and GPPs! Can Ezekiel Elliott (10:18) overcome a tough matchup against Philadelphia, is Michael Thomas (19:23) the top overall DFS play for the week, and would it be unwise to use D.J. Moore (28:03) in cash games? Does the Browns' defense (39:03) actually have cash game viability despite facing Lamar Jackson and the Ravens and is Miles Sanders (49:37) a solid GPP play thanks to his increased volume?

Ian Hartitz of Rotoworld joins today's show as we discuss our favorite starts and warn you about who might end up being a disappointment during championship week. What should we think of Mike Boone (4:22) if Dalvin Cook were to sit, would it be wise to play Duke Johnson (19:49), and is Kenny Golladay (34:41) a must-start option? Can N'Keal Harry (40:30) produce against Buffalo now that he's a full-time player and should you reconsider using Tyler Higbee (56:53)? Sponsors: TrophySmack - Level up your fantasy smack talk!

Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys joins the fun as we discuss the waiver pickups with the most league-winning potential on this championship edition of our weekly waiver wire show. Is Mike Boone or Breshad Perriman (3:26) this week's top add, could Anthony Miller (21:49) outproduce them both, and would it be wise for fantasy owners to place Chris Conley (28:39) in the top tier of widely available WRs? Which QB deserves your attention more between Ryan Fitzpatrick (42:39) and Gardner Minshew (44:41) and what kind of upside does O.J. Howard (49:12) have with both of Tampa's top receivers gone?

We bring you our hard-hitting instant analysis for each one of Week 15's Sunday afternoon matchups! A.J.

Which Giants WR (30:51) is viable next week, is Anthony Miller (41:42) an obvious play against KC, and should Mike Boone (58:27) be viewed as a must-start if Dalvin Cook (57:41) sits?

We analyze the top cash game and GPP plays with DailyFantasyInsider CEO, Justin MacMahan. Is it crazy to view Patrick Laird (7:07) as a viable cash game RB, should we roll the dice on Julio Jones (17:01) against San Francisco, and will Cooper Kupp (27:35) maintain his low snap count? Greg Ward (47:56) could be a target monster this week and Dak Prescott (1:04:49) may have a high ceiling thanks to his expected passing volume.
