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

The whole crew is here to run through every single matchup and tell you who to start and fade during fantasy football's championship week! Do we immediately play George Kittle (19:29) as a top-four tight end if he ends up returning this week and should fantasy managers gamble on either Myles Gaskin (25:48) or Salvon Ahmed if Gaskin is healthy enough to suit up? Is the Steelers' defense too tough for Jonathan Taylor (42:30) and can fantasy managers get away with starting both Baltimore RBs (52:15)? Why should we be fading each Carolina WR (1:05:29) and would we feel comfortable playing Ezekiel Elliott (1:14:27) if he were to take the field facing Philadelphia?

We've got Marvin Elequin of Dynasty Nerds with us as we recap last night's action (1:45), hit the listener mailbag (14:44), and analyze our top dynasty wideouts (32:23)! Is it time for Todd Gurley (12:25) to retire after officially falling behind Ito Smith on the Falcons' depth chart and what are the pros and cons of holding your dynasty rookie draft before the NFL Draft (22:24)? What is the dynasty outlook for James Robinson now that the Jaguars are the favorites for Trevor Lawrence (30:57) and why should dynasty GMs still be excited about D.J. Moore (41:05) heading into next year? How concerned should we be about Allen Robinson (46:01) given the uncertainty pertaining to where he'll end up in free agency?

It's championship week in fantasyland and our main crew is here to guide you to victory as they share which waiver adds could help you win your title this week! Salvon Ahmed (8:17) is the obvious top widely available RB, but can fantasy managers in a pinch rely on Darrel Williams (13:35) or Devine Ozigbo (14:36) during their most important matchup? Does a potential shootout with the Chiefs boost Russell Gage's (22:59) stock, or is that matchup far more difficult than most realize? Is Jalen Hurts (34:36) now a must-start QB for any fantasy managers that don't have an elite signal-caller? The show ends with our final round of Drop or Keep (50:24) for the season and we address whether it's time to cut bait on Russell Wilson (51:21), Ezekiel Elliott (52:55), and Tyler Lockett (55:55).

We have returned to share our thoughts on every single Sunday afternoon game! If Ronald Jones is sidelined next week, can fantasy managers fully trust Leonard Fournette (2:12) against Detroit? What's Tags' problem with Tony Pollard (4:49) and is he a more exciting option at this stage than Ezekiel Elliott if he were to return? Would Salvon Ahmed (24:18) still have a sizeable role if Myles Gaskin comes back next week? After apparently falling behind Justin Jefferson in Minnesota's WR pecking order, why should fantasy GMs still start Adam Thielen (32:56) in the championship? Where are we thinking of ranking Jalen Hurts (49:27) in Week 16 against Dallas and what does his success mean for Carson Wentz's (50:28) future in Philadelphia? Lastly, has Taysom Hill now surpassed Drew Brees (56:07) as New Orleans' best QB?

Dr. David Chao returns to analyze the biggest injuries affecting the fantasy landscape (0:18) and then Dan and Yates take you through each matchup of the week (13:22)! What is the current injury outlook for Drew Brees (0:50) and Derek Carr (2:01)? What do we make of Keenan Allen's (13:22) dud last night and how does his poor outing affect how his managers should approach their lineup decisions? Why does D'Andre Swift's (31:48) stock actually increase with Chase Daniel under center and where would we rank Lynn Bowden (51:46) if he is forced to lead Miami's backfield? Lastly, how concerned are we about Pittsburgh's WR corps (1:07:21) heading into their bout against Cincinnati?

We're here with Joe Holka, co-founder of LineMovement.com, to discuss which cash (3:33) and tournament (42:39) plays we're eyeing. Is it impossible to fade Derrick Henry (3:43) at all and will a seemingly reinvigorated Lamar Jackson (15:11) replicate his high-floor and efficiency from last week? Is Michael Gallup (28:40) too good of a value to pass on considering his high target volume, or does his recent inability to convert those targets into fantasy points make him a risky option? Ryan Tannehill (49:21) is primed to crush the Detroit secondary, but will he be too chalky for tournament players?

Our main crew is in today to discuss their top starts (6:57), sits (42:46), and sleepers (1:06:27) for the fantasy football semifinals! If George Kittle (3:26) returns in Week 16, should fantasy managers immediately insert him into their lineups or should they proceed with caution? With Ronald Jones (9:30 | 59:37) likely out now that he's been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, who will step up as the back to roster in Tampa Bay? Is Jeff Wilson (16:24) a no-brainer start against the Cowboys if Raheem Mostert sits and should Jerick McKinnon (18:11) receive some consideration if you're desperate? Is the risk of Cam Akers (42:55) suddenly losing his grip on the workload in the Rams' backfield still present and do the Jets have a better run defense than most think? Our trio closes the show with a preview of Thursday's night's bout between the Chargers and Raiders (1:09:41) and ponders whether fantasy managers should hesitate to start injured WRs Keenan Allen (1:10:02) and Mike Williams?

We're here to talk about our top dynasty running backs alongside Matt Hicks of The Dynasty Draft Room! First, we recap last night's crazy game between the Ravens and Browns (2:46) and examine whether Lamar Jackson (9:04) has placed himself back into the top five at the QB position. The guys later dive into the Listener Mailbag and tackle all of your dynasty questions (20:57). Who should fantasy managers consider targeting in the middle or end of their rookie draft's first round (21:02), how many QBs should be taken ahead of Trevor Lawrence (29:25) in startup dynasty leagues, and which under-the-radar backup RBs could have nice upside next season (35:24)? The show concludes with the duo breaking down each of their top 15 RBs for dynasty formats (44:59). Where would we rank Aaron Jones (54:16) if he winds up on the Falcons next year and generally how much value should dynasty managers shopping Saquon Barkley (1:02:04) be looking for in exchange?
