Start/Sit: Week 5 (Ep. 409)

We kick things off with Dr. David Chao of ProFootballDoc.com, who shares his analysis on notable injured fantasy studs like Chris Godwin (0:46), Chris Carson (2:34), and George Kittle (5:09). Yates and Dan then give their picks for this week's Accuracy Challenge (8:10) and hit the matchups (12:30)! Are Marquez Valdes-Scantling (13:56) and Richie James (17:10) interesting options moving forward or were both of their big outings a fluke? Can fantasy managers feel confident starting either of the Bills' RBs (29:54) against Seattle and is Leonard Fournette (1:02:24) now the primary back in Tampa Bay or will Ronald Jones steal his thunder? Lastly, should you wait a week to play Antonio Brown (1:04:51) or would you do well to bank on his upside?

We've got Dave Loughran from Awesemo.com on the pod to talk about this week's best cash (2:59) and GPP (41:06) plays. James Conner (3:06) appears to be the best play at RB considering his easy matchup and a $6,900 price tag on DraftKings. Is D.J. Moore (28:06) a safe enough option for cash games in what should be a shootout against the Chiefs, or does the Chiefs' strong pass defense lower his floor too much? Coming off a solid showing last week, will Washington run their offense through Antonio Gibson (41:40) again in a game where he should benefit from a positive game script, or does the Football Team's poor offense make him too risky?

Matthew Freedman, Editor-in-Chief at FantasyLabs, joins us as we dive into our top starts (6:15), fades (42:23), and sleepers (57:42) for Week 9. Is Jerick McKinnon (7:05) a strong RB2 or is JaMycal Hasty slated to be the main man in the 49ers' backfield? Is Corey Davis (29:11) due for a second-half breakout and should fantasy managers fade D.J. Chark (50:17) without hesitation with Jake Luton under center for Jacksonville? Before signing off, we quickly preview Thursday night's game between the Packers and 49ers (1:04:17).

We're back to share our thoughts on our top trade candidates along with who is rising up or falling down our rankings as we enter the second half of the fantasy season (46:43). The show begins with a recap of last night's contest between the Buccaneers and Giants (4:24). Next, Dan and Yates discuss the most traded players (14:54), analyze Ezekiel Elliott's (15:28) value moving forward, and advise fantasy managers what they should do with Jonathan Taylor (27:03) and his disappointing production. Who are we buying low and selling high (37:06), has Stefon Diggs (42:52) been too productive to trade away despite his difficult upcoming schedule, and is Kareem Hunt (49:47) now less valuable than David Montgomery after failing to make the most of his opportunities?

Derek Brown of FTN is with us as we discuss our top waiver wire pickups at each position for the upcoming week! Are the Colts ready to cede a lot more work to Jordan Wilkins (4:51), is Jalen Reagor (34:00) a top immediate WR pickup despite his Week 9 bye, and what is Drew Lock's (43:24) upside with a juicy matchup against the Falcons on tap? We finish the show with another installment of Drop or Keep (54:39). Is it time for fantasy managers to cut bait on Drew Brees (56:50) and John Brown (59:22)?

Dan and Tags are back to recap all of Sunday afternoon's NFL action! Can either of Buffalo's RBs be trusted moving forward and which one has the most value (3:02)? What's Tags' problem with Jared Cook (6:35)? What should fantasy managers do with Jonathan Taylor (16:44) after a lousy performance and what is the impact Tua Tagovailoa (40:28) is expected to have on the entire Dolphins' offense moving forward after a horrible showing from the Miami passing game? Does Dalvin Cook's incredible day significantly hurt the outlook for Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson (46:56), or was weather to blame for their lackluster production?

Dr. David Chao is back on to share his take on injuries suffered by impactful players like Calvin Ridley (0:48), Joe Mixon (2:15), Chris Carson (3:34), Aaron Jones (5:35), Kenyan Drake (7:15), Jalen Reagor (7:52), Michael Thomas (9:27), and Gardner Minshew (11:15). Dan and Yates then recap last night's game (18:06) and discuss every single upcoming game for Week 8 (26:15). Why should fantasy managers sell high on Todd Gurley (19:42), can a matchup against the Jets actually negatively impact Patrick Mahomes' (42:06) ceiling, and why can fantasy managers no longer trust Ezekiel Elliott (1:12:22) as an RB1?

Who are this week's best cash game (3:19) and GPP (47:19) options on DraftKings and FanDuel? The author of the best selling Fantasy Black Book series, Joe Pisapia, joins us once again as we tackle that question. Windy weather, a great matchup, and a relatively lower price all make Kareem Hunt a smash play (7:04). If Aaron Jones sits, is Jamaal Williams (30:18) an automatic play, or should you be concerned about Minnesota's run defense? Rashard Higgins (50:06) could be hampered by windy weather, but don't overlook his chemistry with Baker Mayfield. Sponsors: StatHero - 4th and goal, it's time to shine!
