Another Sunday of NFL action is in the books and we've got you covered with our fantasy takeaways from every Sunday afternoon game. We discuss Adam Thielen's ailment (0:24) and how it affects Stefon Diggs next week (30:45). Who will be the biggest loser in Seattle now that Josh Gordon (4:13) has arrived and do we have any concerns about Tevin Coleman (13:23)? Is Minshew Mania (21:40) done in Jacksonville, what do we make of the Chiefs' backfield (32:43) now, and is Chris Carson (51:28) in danger of fumbling away the starting gig?

We share our thoughts on this week's top DFS cash game and GPP plays for FanDuel and DraftKings with DailyFantasyInsider CEO, Justin MacMahan. Who is the best DFS cash game play between Dalvin Cook and Christian McCaffrey (2:16) and which Panthers WR should you aim to stick into your lineup (15:03)? Demaryius Thomas (28:18) has the makings of a sneaky good play, Washington's defense (42:16) has the best combination of price and upside, and Terry McLaurin (51:31) has the potential to smash at a mid-tier price.

Heath Cummings from CBS Sports is on with us as we dig into our favorite starts and top sits for Week 9. Would fantasy owners be wise to start Kenyan Drake over LeSean McCoy (10:15) and does Mark Walton (19:53) have RB2 potential against the Jets? Is it time to seriously consider benching Odell Beckham (40:21) and can desperate fantasy owners in a pinch pick up Darren Fells or T.J. Hockenson (52:55)?

We're halfway through the season! Today, our dynamic duo shares their insight on which players are the top pickups heading into Week 9. Savvy owners would be wise to stash Rashaad Penny (6:28) and Alexander Mattison (8:51). The guys debate Anthony Miller's (20:35) short-term viability, discuss Diontae Johnson's (30:17) likelihood for weekly WR3 value, and analyze whether Dallas Goedert (42:49) should be streamed against Chicago. The show concludes with our thoughts on this week's best fantasy trade candidates (53:40) and a fun chat about what teams have the best chance to make it to the Super Bowl (58:10).

We are back after another week of football to shine light on how Sunday afternoon's slate of action has changed the fantasy landscape. What does Tevin Coleman's (1:11) dominant outing mean for his value moving forward, should we still view Zach Ertz (7:44) as an elite tight end, and is Royce Freeman (25:36) becoming Denver's goal-line back? Can Christian Kirk (34:08) now be relied upon as a weekly WR3 and can Leonard Fournette (47:52) be safely viewed as a top-five RB moving forward despite the lack of touchdowns?

We share our opinions on this week's best cash game and GPP plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. Is it wise to spend up on Christian McCaffrey (4:29) against the 49ers and should Indy's pass defense concern those who use Courtland Sutton (23:50)? Is Allen Robinson (30:04) an underrated play and is Zach Ertz (46:49) a safer GPP play than most people realize?

The guys are joined by Lauren Carpenter from The Fantasy Footballers as they shed some light on their favorite starts and sits for this week. Is Latavius Murray (4:45) a potential RB2 option and can Marvin Jones (26:53) be trusted for big production again versus the Giants? Is Teddy Bridgewater (50:17) a good desperation streamer and should fantasy owners actually rely on O.J. Howard (57:23) coming off his bye?
