What Should We Do With JK Dobbins? | The Biggest Fantasy Football Questions for Week 17 (Ep. 1505)

Our three-man crew is here to shed light on their favorite starts (7:29), fades (48:00), and sleepers (1:04:15) for Week 13! Is Jonathan Taylor (13:02) a better play than Kareem Hunt and will Duke Johnson (20:31) be peppered with targets now that Will Fuller is out of the picture? Is Breshad Perriman (33:08) ready to exploit a suspect Raiders secondary and why should QB-needy fantasy managers consider rolling with Mitch Trubisky (42:38)?

We cover a lot of ground on today's show with Garret Price from Dynasty Nerds! First, we break down last night's matchup between the Seahawks and the Eagles (4:46), then the trio mentions which players could wind up being league winners for fantasy managers down the stretch (34:03). The guys also provide an overview of next year's strong incoming rookie class (49:20) and how it could affect dynasty trading (54:48), and lastly, they round out the show by sharing who their top dynasty risers and fallers are (56:59)! Has D.K. Metcalf (4:46) cemented himself as one of fantasy's elite WRs in dynasty formats and what's wrong with Carson Wentz (14:47)? How has Will Fuller's (24:32) suspension affected his dynasty value and which players benefit the most from his absence (29:33)? A soft upcoming schedule gives Jonathan Taylor (34:44) league-winning upside and Antonio Gibson's (58:12) dynasty stock has soared thanks to how quickly he's learned how to succeed at the NFL level.

We're joined by fantasy football Youtuber Andrew Kiorkof to discuss our favorite waiver wire pickups heading into Week 13. If Josh Jacobs misses time, would Devontae Booker (9:41) be the top back to add, or does the safety of Frank Gore (7:22) actually make him a preferable option? It may seem gross, but Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims (33:06) could both be viable waiver targets on a Jets offense that will consistently find itself in negative game scripts. After playing all the snaps and scoring a touchdown last week, is Gabriel Davis (41:28) primed for solid production while John Brown is out? We end the show with a game of Drop or Keep (51:45) and wonder whether it's time to let go of players like J.D. McKissic (52:53) and Leonard Fournette (55:03). Update: Jonathan Taylor has not yet tested positive for COVID-19 and is instead a high-risk close contact.

Dan and Tags return to recap all of Sunday afternoon's NFL action! Can Latavius Murray (4:22) be trusted moving forward, what's Tags' problem with Justin Jefferson (6:11), and was there any way to predict Derek Carr's (11:06) surprisingly bad performance against the Falcons? Where does Austin Ekeler (18:51) move in our rankings after his return to the gridiron, who projects as the better RB the rest of the way between Alvin Kamara (43:27) and James Robinson (45:17), and is Tyreek Hill (54:18) now arguably the best WR in fantasy after his magnificent outing?

Dan and Tags take you through their favorite DFS plays for Week 12! Should we step away from Josh Allen (10:56) in cash games if John Brown plays, or is an easy matchup against the Chargers primed to cede a ton of fantasy points to him anyway? Why would you be smart to include Wayne Gallman (16:38) in your fantasy lineup and does Julio Jones' availability affect whether or not you should play Calvin Ridley (42:47)?

Our crew is back with a super-sized episode where we preview every single Week 12 matchup and provide DFS advice for the Thanksgiving slate! We kick off the show by dissecting the latest news, including the Ravens' COVID situation and how it affects their backfield (3:28). Next, our trio hits the matchups (11:33)! The guys debate Todd Gurley's (28:46) viability and rave about why Wayne Gallman (41:37) should be deployed with confidence as an RB2. Should Tua Tagovailoa's struggles scare you away from playing DeVante Parker (1:02:12), or is a date with the Jets merely too good to pass up? Also, is Duke Johnson (1:29:40) a surefire RB2 and cash game play considering his easy matchup against the Lions, or is just impossible to trust him at this point?

Joe Pisapia, author of the best-selling Fantasy Black Book series, is with us to go over how fantasy managers should approach the rest of the season. We recap last night's game between the Buccaneers and Rams (4:36) and analyze Gus Edwards (19:19) short-term value in light of the Ravens' COVID situation. We later dig into the rest of season strategy (28:59) and tackle interesting topics like whether it is acceptable to tank a matchup to influence playoff seeding (35:30)? We finish up by diving into our listener mailbag (44:26) to answer your most pressing questions! Why is it smart to stash DSTs for the fantasy playoffs and which ones should be snagged ahead of time (47:15), how should you approach dynasty leagues (50:01), and is Jerry Jeudy (53:59) a viable option the rest of the way?

Dan and Tags share their thoughts on who this week's best waiver adds are! Is James White (6:50) arguably the most impactful widely available RB left on waivers and is Tevin Coleman (14:56) worth your attention, or are fantasy managers better served by rostering high-end handcuffs instead? We quickly shine light on the Ravens' COVID situation and discuss what that means for Gus Edwards (17:04). Is it time to give Frank Gore (20:25) another chance in light of LaMical Perine's ankle injury and who's the top available wideout between Sterling Shepard (26:10) and Michael Pittman (27:26)? Which quarterbacks and defenses are we looking to stream (50:24) and is it time to drop Joe Mixon (52:05)?
