Week 1 Fantasy Football Quarterback and Tight End Rankings & Tiers: Studs, Sleepers, & Must-Starts (Ep. 1686)

We're back this week with our Divisional Round DFS coverage. With four games on the slate again, we're going to name every player that's worth considering as you build your lineups ahead of kickoff. To help, we've got Jared Kwart of FantasyCruncher joining us to go matchup by matchup starting with Seattle heading to Atlanta (2:15) to take on Matt Ryan (3:18), Julio Jones (3:36) and Devonta Freeman (4:39). On the other side of the ball, Russell Wilson (10:37) and Doug Baldwin (11:45) are the offensive leaders, but it's hard to forget about Thomas Rawls (13:10) after last week. The second game that we're breaking down has the Texans visiting the Patriots. Outside of C.J. Fiedorowicz and Ryan Griffin (26:31), Bobby and Jared aren't wasting time on any Houston players, but if you're wondering which Patriots to use, they've got you covered starting with Tom Brady (19:13) and LeGarrette Blount (21:08). The third game features the Steelers at Chiefs (27:15) and you can call it "chalky", but Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell are without question the studs to use (29:33). To finish out the show, they're looking at how unstoppable Aaron Rodgers (38:41) is as he heads to Dallas to take on Dak Prescott (40:40) and Ezekiel Elliott (41:24).

We're here with our first ever playoff podcast and Justin MacMahan of Daily Fantasy Insider joins host, Bobby Sylvester to break down the four matchups this weekend. Not all the matchups are pretty, and in some cases, they're downright ugly, but we're covering all the big names starting with the G-Men visiting Green Bay (3:56) as the two talk about Paul Perkins (5:07), Aaron Rodgers (7:46), Eli Manning (8:23), Odell Beckham (9:59), Jordy Nelson (11:28), Ty Montgomery (14:17) as well as a few smaller names in Aaron Ripkowski (5:51), Sterling Shepard (13:15) and Geronimo Allison (13:39). Then it's arguably the worst playoff matchup of the season with the Raiders and Texans facing off (15:05). While there aren't many appealing plays, hear what Bobby and Justin have to say about Latavius Murray (18:26), Lamar Miller (19:22), DeAndre Hopkins (21:00) and the two Raiders receivers (21:13). The Lions will head to Seattle in a great matchup and you'll want to hear about why Doug Baldwin (24:17), Golden Tate (27:56), and Anquan Boldin (28:19) could all be solid plays. To close the show, the Steelers should rack up points against the Dolphins (32:51) and it'd be foolish to not have any Steelers in your lineup, namely Antonio Brown (34:04) and Le'Veon Bell (34:44).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
