Matchup Previews: Week 6 + Injury Analysis w/ Dr. David Chao (Ep. 580)

We're back to give you our insight on this week's top waiver wire pickups alongside Adam Aizer of CBS Sports. The guys get started with a recap of Sunday night's game (2:51) and discuss whether we can trust Darrell Henderson (8:48) moving forward. Later, we move into the waiver adds (14:03) and break down who the top RB add is between Giovani Bernard, Boston Scott (14:09), and Justin Jackson (14:47) and decide if Tim Patrick (36:48) is someone WR-needy fantasy managers can rely upon with confidence. The show concludes with a game of Drop or Keep (56:55) where we examine the players like Leonard Fournette (58:16), Zach Ertz (59:25), and JuJu Smith-Schuster (1:00:04).

We're back to share our immediate thoughts on Sunday afternoon's NFL action! Can fantasy managers trust D'Andre Swift (2:09) after his big day and what's Tags' problem with Justin Jefferson (8:54)? How do we view Tim Patrick (19:46) moving forward after his 100-yard game and are either J.K. Dobbins or Gus Edwards (40:07) startable if Mark Ingram misses time after the Ravens' bye week?

We share our favorite DFS plays for Week 6 alongside Jared Smola of DraftSharks. Listen in as we discuss our top pricey (4:30) and value cash game plays (20:45) and hear which players we're comfortable gambling on in tournaments (44:54). Derrick Henry (5:35) is extremely tough to ignore at his price point, it's hard to go wrong with either Ryan Tannehill or Ryan Fitzpatrick (35:25) if you're spending down at QB, and Jonathan Taylor (46:18) could be a solid GPP option if the Colts decide to emphasize the ground game due to Philip Rivers' struggles.

We're joined by Adam Pfeifer of FTN and kick off the show with a discussion of the big news involving Melvin Gordon (2:23) and Le'Veon Bell (5:01) and a recap of Tuesday's game between the Bills and Titans (12:29). After that, we dive into our top starts (18:49), sits (42:20), and sleepers (1:00:31) for the week! Why is it time to stop doubting Myles Gaskin (19:17), what makes Irv Smith (35:50) an intriguing option, and was D.J. Moore's (50:50) nice outing last week a fluke or is he ready to rebound?

Our trio is back to share their thoughts on this week's top waiver adds! If Alexander Mattison (2:55) is available in your league, he definitely needs to be rostered. Outside of Mattison, is Chase Claypool (19:18) easily the week's top pickup and a viable Week 6 fantasy starter? Also, does Travis Fulgham (40:40) have any long-term appeal and is Zach Ertz (53:35) droppable?

We're back after another Football Sunday to share our thoughts on all the Sunday afternoon action! Can Chase Claypool (2:52) now be trusted after his monster game and, what's Tags' problem with Jamison Crowder (9:37), and who is the Panthers' top receiver after a big day for the Carolina passing game (24:46)? How do we value Kenyan Drake (40:47) for the rest of the season, are we back in on Brandin Cooks (45:14), and what do we make of the Cowboys' WRs in the wake of Dak Prescott's serious injury (53:55)?
