That was an offensive explosion Thursday night featuring two pretty awesome QB performances! And (what a shock) it also featured a ton of fantasy points by receivers. We'll go through it all, we'll talk injuries for Week 4, and then we'll have a far-ranging chat on the situations that some of us missed on when assessing teams and players this summer. Guest: Raymond Summerlin of Rotoworld.

As the NFL grows all the pass-heavier, figuring out fantasy football is getting all the more difficult. We have an incredible number of receivers producing huge days, and an increasing number of running backs held hostage by game flows that we're not great at predicting! We'll talk about all this and watch a ton of Week 3 game film to make our teams and strategies optimal. Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Fantasy.

Let's talk fantasy football trades! It's never easy to buy low on a player, because you're assuming the risk that they don't bounce back, which of *course* is a possibility. But leagues are won when you buy low on the right players, and we'll nominate some names. We'll also talk Week 3 injuries and review the Baker Mayfield Blues Implosion set on Thursday Night Football. And possums! Guest: Cousin Josh.

Chris's novel "Tulsa" was published Monday, and we thought you might like to hear a sample chapter, in case you were on the fence about ordering it. This is how the book is described on Amazon:
"All the electricity has gone out, nobody knows why, and it's five months later. Food is scarce, and gas is scarcer. The world isn't sudden chaos: it's simply quiet and lost. Survival depends on trusting the right people, and staying away from the wrong ones. But how can you tell the difference? Tulsa is a ground's-eye view of the apocalypse: a front-row seat to the slow-motion unraveling of society and the things we believe comprise identity. As the world falls apart, there are people everywhere—trustworthy or treacherous—and somewhere in the countryside, there is a particular farm...."
If you'd like to get a copy, here's a link to the full audiobook:
https://www.amazon.com/Tulsa/dp/B07H7VH5TB
(and you can find the paperback and Kindle versions there as well)
Let's make some Week 3 fantasy football lineups! Your toughest challenge each week is to decide on your flex. How should you use Carlos Hyde, Amari Cooper or Kenny Golladay this week? It depends on how much upside/risk your squad needs! We'll flexually heal you today, plus preview the Thursday night Jets/Browns game and look at Week 3 in DraftKings.

Remember all that situational speculation in August? How much of it has come true? The Bills being terrible? The Rams being good? Today we'll talk about Week 3 fantasy football ranks, but we'll also discuss players whose ranks have been affected by the truth of what the 2018 season has turned out to be to this point. How long do you stick to your guns with some of these players? When do you bail? Guest: John Paulsen of 4for4.com.

Let's watch some game film, and let's also maybe possibly maybe consider maybe getting Harris's new novel about the apocalypse, called "Tulsa"? Anyway, *mainly* what we're talking about on today's show is Week 2 game film, including how Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson looked, why Tevin Coleman is suddenly a thing, and whether you should trade for David Johnson. And then, y'know, there's the whole "Tulsa" thing.... Guest: Brett Kollmann of The Film Room.

Let's talk Week 1 fantasy football ranks! How do we handle Le'Veon Bell, now that he still hasn't reported to Steelers practice? And what other players do we have concerns about for Week 1? Matchups are less of a concern this week, but injuries and uncertain roles are factors. We'll talk about all the players we downgraded (or upgraded) based on Week 1 availability.
