Will Marvin Harrison Jr. Take The Leap In Year Two? | Fantasy Football Draft Court Debates (Ep. 1617)

The fantasy semifinals are upon us! We're joined by Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com to break down the week's top waiver pickups. Is a soft Dallas defense enough of a reason for fantasy managers to trust Jeff Wilson (8:03) even though he's stuck in a timeshare with Raheem Mostert? Has James Washington (26:32) surpassed Chase Claypool (30:16) in the pecking order, why is Jalen Hurts (36:59) worth snatching off waivers even if you have better options, and is the Washington DST (47:25) actually a sneaky good option against Seattle? The trio ends the episode with a round of Drop or Keep (49:44) and we examine whether it's time to cut Michael Pittman (51:07), the Bills' RBs (52:40), and Tyler Lockett (55:49) among many others.

We're back to recap every NFL game from Sunday afternoon! Can we still trust Clyde Edwards-Helaire (3:12) and what's Tags' problem with Brandon Aiyuk (5:12)? After failing to produce against Dallas' horrendous pass defense, do either Tyler Boyd or Tee Higgins (13:55) have a high-enough floor to even be worth flex consideration? With age seemingly catching up to Tom Brady (26:10), how do we feel about him and the Buccaneers' passing offense over the next two weeks? Why is Tyler Lockett (41:21) no longer a must-start option and how concerned are we about Aaron Jones (46:15) consistently getting his workload capped?

We're with Matthew Betz of BallBlast Football to share our favorite cash (3:42) game and GPP (50:19) plays! Keenan Allen (11:16) can excel in a plus matchup versus the Falcons and hit value in cash games and Aaron Rodgers (16:53) has huge smash potential against an extremely ineffective Lions pass defense. If A.J. Brown sits or is limited, Corey Davis (32:47) is a great value play (especially in GPPs) who can produce a ton of points in a soft matchup with Jacksonville. With the Cowboys favored over the Bengals, can GPP players feel confident in taking a dart throw on Ezekiel Elliott (51:29) despite Dallas' poor offense and why is Tom Brady (55:53) an attractive high-upside option this week?

Paul Charchian of Fantasy Football Weekly joins the show as we break down our favorite starts (5:16), fades (37:13), and sleepers (56:43)! With Joe Mixon out again this week, how do we feel about Gio Bernard (2:10) in a soft matchup with Dallas? J.D. McKissic (9:08) could once again see plenty of target volume with Alex Smith under center, especially if Washington's run game struggles. Is Dalvin Cook (37:30) actually a strong fade against Tampa Bay's brick-wall run defense and should fantasy managers be concerned about Chase Claypool's (48:01) low snap count last week? The show ends with a Thursday Night Football preview (1:03:46) and we explain our hesitation to play Cam Akers (1:06:26) versus the Patriots.

You're in for a good one today, folks! Ray Garvin of Destination Devy is with us to recap Monday night's matchups (2:51) and chat about the value and confidence (or lack thereof) we have in several impactful players ahead of the fantasy postseason (16:36). We also tackle the listener mailbag (28:17), discuss our top dynasty trade targets (50:57), and share our very early 2021 NFL free agency predictions (59:16)! Who's the primary beneficiary in Washington's backfield if Antonio Gibson (3:24) is forced to miss time and can we have any real confidence in Clyde Edwards-Helaire (23:22) throughout the fantasy playoffs given his inconsistent workload? Do we expect James Robinson and Myles Gaskin (28:33) to retain their starting jobs next year and why should dynasty leaguers target Robert Tonyan (51:43) this offseason? Lastly, what do we think the future holds for players like Allen Robinson (1:00:24), Will Fuller (1:01:30), Jonnu Smith (1:03:21), Aaron Jones (1:04:31), and James Conner (1:06:01) in free agency?

It's fantasy football playoff time! Our whole crew is here to share who their top waiver-wire pickups are heading into Week 14! Do lottery-ticket handcuffs in decent offenses have more value late in the year than high-floor depth pieces (16:08)? Tim Patrick's (26:02) surprising consistency despite Denver's erratic QB play is worth your attention and Mitch Trubisky (41:42) is in line for some positive touchdown regression in a soft matchup against Houston. Lastly, is it time to let go of Todd Gurley (53:05), Hayden Hurst (55:16), or Kareem Hunt (58:29)?

We're back to recap all of Sunday afternoon's NFL games! Can Keke Coutee (2:44) be fully trusted next week against the Bears after a strong performance and what's our problem with T.Y. Hilton (5:31)? Does Alvin Kamara (8:30) still possess elite upside with Taysom Hill under center and how concerned are we about DeVante Parker's (20:56) value given his lack of yards with Tua Tagovailoa at QB? Despite his huge outing, can fantasy managers now start Jonathan Taylor (34:59) with confidence, and should Justin Herbert (59:54) still be played as a QB1 next week after being completely unraveled by the Patriots?
