We kick off the week with Heath Cummings from CBS Sports and analyze which players you would be wise to buy or sell the hype on. Between second-tier QBs Baker Mayfield, Cam Newton, and Carson Wentz (10:26), which one should fantasy owners be looking to snag the most shares of? Is it time to hop aboard the Miles Sanders (17:45) hype train and should we expect Josh Gordon (36:01) to play at all this year? In the final third of the show, the trio takes a shot at naming the odds of certain things happening across the fantasy landscape (42:38). What are the odds that Patrick Mahomes (42:49) repeats as the QB1, Todd Gurley (49:33) finishes as a top-three RB, and Tyler Lockett (57:18) receives 100 targets?
