Start/Sit: Week 5 (Ep. 409)

Scott Engel of RotoBaller joins us to discuss this week's top pickups at every position (2:43) and the guys give their thoughts on who it's time to consider dropping (51:33)! What kind of impact will the injuries to Teddy Bridgewater (3:49) and Drew Brees (5:55) have on their respective offenses? Is Salvon Ahmed (13:56) or Alex Collins (26:15) the best short-term RB add and who is the better long-term bet between Cam Akers (9:05) and Nyheim Hines (14:34)? Will Kalen Ballage (21:57) to lead the Chargers' backfield until Austin Ekeler returns, does Sammy Watkins (32:06) get too many targets to leave on waivers, and how attractive of a fantasy option is Jameis Winston (44:51) for the foreseeable future?

We're back to analyze all the Sunday afternoon NFL action! Can J.D. McKissic (5:04) be trusted for the rest of the season and what's Tags' problem with Brandon Aiyuk (8:53)? Is Aaron Jones (18:46) no longer a bell-cow RB, or was Jamaal Williams' sizeable chunk of the workload a fluke? Does Jerry Jeudy's (39:31) target volume make him a weekly plug-and-play option, or is he still far too inconsistent for fantasy managers to rely upon? Also, how much of a hit would Michael Thomas' (52:24) value take with Jameis Winston under center? Timestamps: Trust or Bust - 0:02:22 Ronald Jones - 0:02:32 Wayne Gallman - 0:04:01 J.D.

Dr. David Chao of ProFootballDoc.com breaks down the injury situations of Christian McCaffrey (1:40), Austin Ekeler (3:25), Ben Roethlisberger (5:14), and several others. Next, Dan and Yates recap Thursday's game (18:15) and preview every upcoming matchup (24:28)! Can fantasy managers trust any member of the Colts' backfield (18:27) moving forward and what do we make of the Dolphins' RB (49:50) situation? Lastly, will Lamar Jackson (1:04:52) take advantage of a Patriots defense that was torched by Joe Flacco last week, or is Baltimore's signal-caller primed to disappoint once again?

Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Sports is back on with us as we discuss our favorite starts (4:54), fades (38:24), and sleepers (53:46) for Week 10! Is Jarvis Landry (14:05) primed to be a target machine against the Texans, or will his injuries, Cleveland's low passing volume, and the return of Austin Hooper all hinder his production? Is it wise for fantasy managers who roster Mark Andrews (28:24) to explore alternative options at TE this week? Justin Jefferson's (42:05) big play ability does give him a nice ceiling, but a tough matchup against the Bears is concerning. The show concludes with a preview of Thursday's contest between the Colts and Titans (59:53).

Brandon Funston of The Athletic has returned as we give our takes on fantasy's most traded players (12:33) and our top trade candidates (32:24). We start the show with a recap of Monday's action and discern whether Jakobi Meyers (4:38) is a viable fantasy starter moving forward. What kind of value does D.J. Moore (17:50) have on the trade market and is it time to buy low on Jonathan Taylor (38:14) despite his recent lack of work? The show concludes with the trio sharing who has risen and fallen down their rest of season rankings the most (50:34) and the guys answering questions from our listener mailbag (1:05:03)! Can Lamar Jackson (1:01:06) still be viewed as a top-10 QB despite his struggles this season and does J.K. Dobbins (1:06:57) have any fantasy value?

The whole crew is here to dissect this week's top waiver pickups (3:26) and shed light on which players are on the fantasy roster bubble (52:50)! Jordan Wilkins (10:19) can finish the season as the leader of the Colts' backfield, but can fantasy managers truly rely on him for production if he's stuck in a committee with Jonathan Taylor? Jalen Reagor (30:29) is potentially the top widely available WR addition (and arguably the best add of the week), but why wouldn't it be wise to spend a ton of FAB on him? Despite his limited role, does Nelson Agholor (41:48) deserve to be on fantasy squads thanks to his incredible efficiency?

Dan and Tags return to break down all the Sunday afternoon action! Is Curtis Samuel (1:24) now someone who can mostly be trusted nearly every week and what's Tags' problem with A.J. Brown (5:31)? How do we feel about the Baltimore RBs (8:59) after the team's rough offensive performance against the Colts' tough defense? After receiving just three targets for two catches and 18 yards, is it time for us to finally accept that D.J. Moore (30:35) can no longer be consistently relied upon? Is there any Steelers WR (51:42) who has a clear edge over the others and are they all startable moving forward?
