Our dynamic duo spends today's show analyzing the top waiver adds after an injury-laden week in the NFL. What are the odds that DeAndre Washington (7:46) starts this week and is he the top overall waiver wire add? Is A.J. Brown (18:56) the best largely available wideout and does his quarterback, Ryan Tannehill (34:11), have the potential to be a top-five signal-caller in Week 15? Would it be wise to gamble on Mitch Trubisky (37:02) against Green Bay coming off a couple solid performances and should you drop Sammy Watkins (47:38)?

With the first week of the fantasy postseason almost through, we bring you all the instant analysis you need to evaluate Sunday's NFL action. Should fantasy owners fully trust Raheem Mostert (5:20) moving forward and can Anthony Miller (10:15) be started the rest of the way? Is it time to consider benching Austin Hooper (24:07) and Odell Beckham (34:01), should we start getting excited about Robby Anderson (48:14), and has A.J. Brown (1:00:15) become a viable option down the stretch after his big day? Sponsors: Away - Thanks to Away for supporting the FantasyPros Football Podcast.

We're breaking down the best DFS plays in Week 14 and Doug Norrie, owner of DFSR.com, is in with us to share his takes as well. Who is the better cash game RB on DraftKings between Alvin Kamara (11:29) and Leonard Fournette (12:20), is Patrick Laird (25:54) a decent value play, and is Auden Tate (41:14) too inconsistent to trust? Even against Buffalo, Lamar Jackson (45:56) appears to be a stone-cold cash game lock and it might make sense to use both Nick Chubb (1:02:05) and Kareem Hunt (1:03:29) in GPP lineups.

Pat Fitzmaurice of the Fitz on Fantasy Podcast hangs with the guys today as we analyze our favorite starts and sits for Week 14. Is Jamaal Williams (4:56) a definite start and is Devonta Freeman (17:10) tough to love this week or should you feel confident in him? Emmanuel Sanders (26:28) may be more viable than most people realize, but what is the logic behind Christian Kirk's (35:54) relatively high ranking? Also, is Ryan Fitzpatrick's (51:47) upside worth the risk he presents?

Friend of the show, Christopher Harris of Harris Football, is on with us today to discuss the top waiver pickups for the first week of the fantasy football playoffs. Is Darwin Thompson (5:24) the top RB add and is Zach Pascal (19:27) too volatile to trust? Does Anthony Miller (30:26) have enough stability for fantasy owners to rely on him down the stretch and is Jacob Hollister (41:15) worth stashing for a tasty Week 16 matchup?

We examine the Thanksgiving and Sunday afternoon NFL action and bring you our takeaways from each of those matchups to give you an early edge heading into Week 14. Can we place any trust in Ronald Jones (2:53) throughout the fantasy playoffs and how concerned should you be about Le'Veon Bell's (26:45) lowered snap count? Are either of Tennessee's top WRs (30:45) viable options down the stretch and is Courtland Sutton (1:03:55) a bonafide stud?

Our good friend, Jared Smola from DraftSharks, has returned to talk DFS with us for both the main slate and the Thanksgiving slate. Is Miles Sanders (9:20) a must-play versus Miami if Jordan Howard sits, does Andy Dalton's (23:34) low price make him the top QB choice for cash games on DraftKings, and should GPP players pay up for Travis Kelce (33:27)? The trio discusses the Thanksgiving slate (47:07) towards the end of the show and together they break down whether rostering Michael Thomas (50:51) should be the top priority.
