It's that time in the fantasy football season when you start considering trades to make your team better. So today we'll list some players on whom we've fashioned a "BUY" sign; some of them are currently struggling and thus undervalued, and others are just *good*. We'll give you suggestions about who you might give up in trade compensation, and make your teams better! We'll also review the Thursday night Lions/Packers tilt and revisit the insane arguments still circulating over Jahmyr Gibbs, plus we'll review the injury names you need to know for Week 4. Guest: Cousin Josh.

Joe Burrow played...but the Bengals were still sluggish on offense. Jalen Hurts got his Bush-Push touchdown, but the Eagles passing game still isn't quite the same. We'll review the two Monday night games *and* the rest of the Week 3 game film, and then we'll spin it forward and begin talking about Week 4 by hitting the waiver wire.

How about injury guys like Joe Burrow and Brandon Aiyuk? Is Mike Evans's hot start for real? Is Craig Reynolds a sneaky starting option? Should you be putting Taysom Hill in your lineup at tight end? We'll weigh in on some key NFL players and make some start 'em or sit 'em decisions for Week 3! Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo! Fantasy.

The NFL is a brutal business. One day you're the best running back in the league, the next you've got a season-ending injury. Today we'll talk about Monday night's Nick Chubb injury, as well as injuries to Saquon Barkley, David Montgomery and Jamaal Williams, and find the waiver wire add/drops that will hopefully help our fantasy teams survive.

So much action. So many fantasy studs, and so many disappointments. We'll tackle the first half of Week 2's game tape today, trying to weed out the contenders from the pretenders and give you the advantage of hearing someone talk about the games who *isn't* just checking the box score and snap counts, but who actually *watched* the full games. Which running backs look legit and which look fraudulent? Which QBs have become must-start and must-bench? We've got 'em all! Let's go! Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Fantasy.

The Eagles won Thursday night, but they didn't exactly do it the way we expected. D'Andre Swift posted a huge night in an amazingly run-heavy game plan that rendered the likes of A.J. Brown a bit of an afterthought. We'll discuss what we saw on film, we'll talk about Week 2 injury situations, and then we'll discuss players on *all* the teams about whom we've already changed our minds after just one full week of NFL play. It's time for a little overreaction theater! Let's do it! Guest: Jim McCormick of ESPN.

How much should we change our ranks based on one game? That question has no purely correct answer, because not all players and not all Week 1 performances are built the same. On today's podcast, we'll talk about some guys we're holding fast to our summer opinion on, and some guys we believe we were wrong about based on how they looked on film. Should you believe in the rookie hot starts? Should you be wary and continue to use your high draft picks in fantasy lineups? We'll discuss! Guest: Jeff Bell of FootballGuys.com.

We have football! Week 1 has been filled with surprises: backfields that aren't working out as we expected, offenses that look sluggish...and our mind palaces are already shattering. Today is our first full game-film review of the 2023 NFL season, where we get smarter about our fantasy football teams by watching the games and not managing our teams via highlights and the box score. Let's dig in, and get a leg up on our competition! Guest: Sam Gold of Sam's Film Room YouTube channel.

We have football! Thursday night's game was close, it was fun, and we're gonna break down everything we think we saw from the Lions' big upset over the Chiefs, including the state of Kansas City's offense when it doesn't have Travis Kelce, what the heck Clyde Edwards-Helaire was doing out there, and why the Jahmyr Gibbs story promises to be contentious all season long. We'll also check in on the Week 1 injury news you need to know, and predict which NFL offenses will *definitely* be good and bad in 2023. Guest: Cousin Josh.

It's time! It's time for us to get real football that counts, and time for us to start fashioning our Week 1 lineups. We'll preview a whole mess of stuff for the NFL's season opener, including a discussion about how it's possible neither the Lions nor the Chiefs will appear exactly as advertised in Thursday night's game. We'll also do some Flexual Healing to help settle those tough flex debates, and preview Week 1 DraftKings DFS. It's all finally happening! Guest: DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.

You wouldn't want our Week 1 fantasy football ranks to vary *too* wildly from the season-long ranks we gave you all summer, but there are definitely cases where some variance is warranted. After all, Alvin Kamara and Jonathan Taylor won't play in Week 1, Cooper Kupp and Terry McLaurin are questionable, and some risky players may be best served sitting on our benches until we see them in action with their new situations. We'll break down the places where our Week 1 ranks *don't* resemble our season-long ranks, plus talk about Travis Kelce's injury and do a great big snarkbag! Guest: Dave Kluge from Football Guys.

The Cooper Kupp and Jonathan Taylor situations have created some big potential holes in Week 1 fantasy football lineups, and today we'll spend some time figuring out what you should do. There might actually be some waiver-wire solutions that can help you out in the shorter term, *plus* there also might be some higher-upside players available who are better than a lot of the guys you drafted for the back end of your bench. Plus we'll discuss the players it turned out we drafted on our highest number of teams. Guest: John Daigle of 4for4.com.
