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

On today's show, we give you our instant thoughts on Sunday's NFL action. How does Will Fuller's (1:14) big game impact his rest of season outlook and is Chris Carson (15:20) still in danger of losing the starting RB gig in Seattle? Have we overrated Lamar Jackson (30:59) recently, has Stefon Diggs (58:11) fallen to WR3 status, and was Aaron Jones' (1:04:02) huge performance something we should've expected?

Joe Holka, co-host for The Fantasy Footballers DFS Podcast, joins the show to talk with us about this week's top DFS plays. Is Christian McCaffrey (4:21) the top cash game play regardless of the tough matchup and who is the better value play between Auden Tate and KeeSean Johnson (26:19)? How good of a cash game option is Larry Fitzgerald (30:49) this week and does Robby Anderson (57:31) have the upside and low ownership to make him a viable GPP play?

Jeff Erickson, Rotowire's Senior Editor, is on with us as we examine our favorite starts and sits of the week. Which Denver RB (6:24) is the better play this week and is Courtland Sutton (22:50) a viable high-floor start against the Chargers? Tags and Bobby disagree on Jacoby Brissett's (33:25) potential as a streamer versus Kansas City and the Saints' defense (46:34) could have a huge ceiling against Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers. At the end of the show, the trio each breaks down their top start, sit, and streamer of the week (47:13).

Is Mohamed Sanu (29:10) consistently underrated, who is the better streamer between Andy Dalton and Kirk Cousins (38:36), and is it time for fantasy owners to buy Austin Ekeler (1:01:52)?

How will the Chargers' backfield (39:08) shake out moving forward and what is hurting Adam Thielen's (59:56) fantasy value?

Jared Smola from DraftSharks has returned to chat with us about this week's top DFS plays. Before getting into the meat of the show, the guys examine Melvin Gordon's (1:27) rest of season value. Is Tyler Lockett (19:40) this week's best value at WR, can T.J. Hockenson (34:02) produce in a possible shootout with the Chiefs, and will Josh Jacobs (51:53) get a lot more work against Indianapolis?

The guys immediately discuss what Melvin Gordon's return to the Bolts would mean for both his and Austin Ekeler's (2:18) value moving forward before breaking down their favorite starts and sits for Week 4. Justin Jackson (8:47) carries plenty of upside against Miami and Marvin Jones (25:27) could blow up in a shootout against Kansas City. Can Gerald Everett (40:02) be used as a viable streamer and will Aaron Rodgers (42:21) finally deliver a strong performance this week?
