Are You DRAFTING Or PASSING on These Players in 2025? (Ep. 1597)

Joe Holka, co-founder of Line Movement, is on with us as we share our favorite expensive options (2:52) and value plays (18:09) for cash games along with our top GPP gambles (42:00). Ezekiel Elliott (3:07) is a pricey option that benefits from a favorable game script against the Giants, but we disagree on Josh Jacobs' (21:43) viability as a value play on DraftKings, where he's heavily discounted against the Chiefs. It might be smart to go back to well with Joe Mixon (42:06) despite his matchup with the Ravens and Michael Gallup (49:53) is a high-ceiling option who is primed for low ownership.

We're joined by Pat Fitzmaurice, host of the Fitz on Fantasy Podcast, as we break down our favorite trade candidates coming into Week 5 along with who has slid down or risen up our season-long rankings the most. The show begins with us recapping both Monday night games (3:02) and expressing how we feel about Damien Harris (5:52) as a waiver pickup and Robert Tonyan (12:01) over the course of the season. We later examine this week's most traded players (22:37), give our top buy-low and sell high candidates (38:30), and share our rankings risers and fallers (52:23). What should you do with Ronald Jones (23:10), is it time to buy low on Jonathan Taylor (32:07), and should Jonnu Smith (45:15) managers be looking to cash in? Also, where do we rank Chris Carson (52:33) and Amari Cooper (59:28) for the rest of the season and is it impossible to rely on Darrell Henderson (56:51) moving forward? The show concludes with us answering your listener mailbag questions (1:03:14). Sponsors: Manscaped - Manscaped is #1 in men's below the belt grooming.

Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Sports joins the show as we go over our top waiver wire adds of the week! We start off by examining the waiver wire impact of the Austin Ekeler (2:03) and Nick Chubb (6:12) injuries. Next, the guys name their favorite waiver targets at each position. Who is the top RB add of the week (9:18), why should fantasy managers flock to stash Alshon Jeffery (28:11), and where do we have Dalton Schultz (40:24) ranked among TEs for the rest of the season? We then give our favorite QB & DST streamers (46:00) for Week 5 and talk about which fringe fantasy players we're dropping or keeping (49:58). Are any of the Ravens' RBs worth rostering any longer (50:28)? Sponsors: OwnersBox - The new wave of fantasy sports is finally here.

We're back to share our thoughts on all of Sunday afternoon's NFL games! Can fantasy managers now trust Joe Mixon (2:11) moving forward and would Keenan Allen's (23:09) prospects truly be much worse if Tyrod Taylor took back the Chargers' starting QB job? Who's the best Carolina receiver to roster (30:09) and what do we make of Malcolm Brown's (50:32) command of the Rams' backfield?

We're back with Dr. David Chao to discuss the latest notable injuries that affect the fantasy landscape for Week 4. During the segment, he analyzes the likelihood of the Titans having their Week 5 game postponed (0:43) and shares his thoughts on Michael Thomas (4:05), Chris Carson (6:05), and several others. Next, Yates and Dan quickly run through this week's over/under accuracy challenge (15:08) and then break down every matchup (20:20)! Is Melvin Gordon (20:38) a solid RB2 moving forward and how may Jarvis Landry (41:32) fare against the Cowboys' pass defense? Can fantasy managers confidently roll out Myles Gaskin (48:05) and will Stephon Gilmore shut down Sammy Watkins (1:00:11) or is his target volume too high to ignore despite the tough matchup?

We're back to dissect another exciting slate of NFL matchups in search of the best DFS plays and Eliot Crist from FTN is with us to share his thoughts and help you win some money this week! Tyler Lockett's (8:25) high efficiency and easy matchup shouldn't be ignored in cash games and Robby Anderson (26:56) may be a safer play than most realize. Is Cam Newton (32:54) safe enough to be a strong option at QB in cash games and does T.J. Hockenson's (45:25) matchup against New Orleans' defense set him up as a solid GPP play or is that pass defense sneakily better than many think?

We're with Jacob Gibbs of SportsLine as we break down our favorite starts and sits for Week 4. Is Jeff Wilson (9:39) primed to be more involved or is Jerick McKinnon (8:46) looking at a big game? Should fantasy managers view Ryan Fitzpatrick (21:24) as a QB1 this week, does Todd Gurley's (32:05) lack of targets make him a boom/bust option, and is Tyler Higbee (46:57) too touchdown-dependent to be relied upon? The show ends with us previewing Thursday night's matchup between the Broncos and Jets (55:42).
