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

The crew shares their initial thoughts on their 2019 fantasy football rankings. Together, they discuss the top options at each position, what sleepers they aim to select in drafts, and which teams will advance through each round of the NFL playoffs. How might the recent news regarding Antonio Brown (8:43) affect his draft stock, should fantasy owners still expect Christian McCaffrey (22:08) to handle the same workload next year, and how high should Travis Kelce (24:17) be taken? Is Aaron Rodgers (36:05) primed for a huge rebound, does Chris Godwin's (47:04) situation add to or take away from his sleeper status, and which teams do we pick to win every playoff game (54:47)?

Dan Harris joins the fun as we unite all three hosts for an end-of-season show filled with tons of laughs, pop culture references, and solid insight on some of fantasy football's top performers. When might Patrick Mahomes get drafted next year (10:28), is Corey Davis (26:21) on the cusp of breaking out in 2019, and can Amari Cooper (38:11) be a top-three WR moving forward? Looking back upon the year that was, we examine which high-end player was the ultimate underdog (44:15), who the top late-round sleeper (54:37) was, and which athlete most deserved to be named the fantasy MVP (1:18:35).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's show, our crew shares their insight on their favorite cash and GPP plays for the final week of the NFL regular season. Travis Kelce (7:27 & 29:53) appears to be a must-play TE, C.J. Anderson's (14:40) matchup is slightly concerning, and Davante Adams' (20:47) consistency is worth paying up for. How good of a GPP play is DeAndre Hopkins (38:56) against Jalen Ramsey and is Aaron Rodgers (54:40) truly having a down year?

In our final Sunday recap show of the 2018 NFL season, we take a look at each game from Saturday and Sunday afternoon and analyze how the outcomes affect the fantasy landscape moving forward. One of the most surprising Championship Week performances was from C.J. Anderson (1:23), who was less than a week removed from being a free agent. Where might Baker Mayfield (20:03) and Amari Cooper (25:04) be drafted next season, what does the future hold for Matthew Stafford (32:21) and the rest of the Lions, and is Carolina giving Christian McCaffrey (51:07) too many touches?

Joe Holka joins us today for our DFS show and chats with us about our top cash game and GPP plays. We give our thoughts on Josh Gordon (1:41) leaving the Patriots after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy again and later evaluate who might gain relevance with his departure (39:53). The projected game script is favorable for Josh Allen (18:12) to produce, we debate Christian McCaffrey's (19:56) usefulness with Taylor Heinicke under center, and the guys praise Davante Adams (31:58) as a top option this week. Who is the better play between Zach Ertz and Eric Ebron (42:57) and would John Kelly (56:57) be a must-play in cash games if Todd Gurley sits?

Jeff Ratcliffe from Pro Football Focus hops in with us as we break down our rankings and give our thoughts on which borderline players you should start and sit during the fantasy finals. Who should fantasy owners trust the most between Damien Williams, Jamaal Williams, and Leonard Fournette (7:59), how high should John Kelly (14:32) be ranked if Todd Gurley sits, and what do we make of Mike Williams, Josh Reynolds (31:17), and Curtis Samuel (33:23) this week? Was it a mistake to draft Aaron Rodgers (40:57) early in drafts and what can we expect from him against the Jets? We finish off the show with a few intriguing bold predictions (57:24).

Welcome to Championship Week! Our dynamic duo spends today's show examining the top spot-starts for the fantasy football finals. We kick things off by breaking down the latest news on the injuries to Aaron Jones (3:30), Ito Smith (4:52), and Todd Gurley (6:49), then dive into the potential return of Hunter Henry (7:29). The guys debate whether John Kelly (12:05) should be this week's top pickup. DaeSean Hamilton's (30:21) high target volume when he starts makes him a viable WR option and Robby Anderson (36:36) can be relied upon as a desperation play because of his upside. The show concludes with a few interesting rounds of fact or fiction (49:31).

Congratulations if you survived week 15 as we saw some players get injured early, while others simply left owners out in the cold. Things weren't ugly everywhere though, as Kenny Golladay re-emerged in a plus matchup (33:02) and Derrick Henry went off again (50:34). We're going game by game discussing key takeaways and more importantly, what we can expect from all the key players heading into the championship round for most fantasy leagues. What do we make of Kenyan Drake's lack of carries (5:06), what is Jamaal Williams' value moving forward (7:58), what happens with Damien Williams and Spencer Ware (9:19), can you trust players from struggling teams like the Browns (20:02), Bills (31:25),  Raiders, and Bengals (38:43)?
