Draft Sharks Fantasy Football Podcast

Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp once again sit well above their positions in both salary and shine. But both probably can't fit in your cash lineup this week. So which is the better value? Playing either guy requires finding some low-cost upside to fill out the lineup, and Jared and Matt might have different ideas on where best to seek that savings. There's agreement on the top game for stacking, however, as well as some sleepers across positions who just might sneak in underplayed.(Note: We recorded this before Diontae Johnson came off the COVID list.)QB ... 1:34RB ... 5:56WR ... 12:51TE ... 18:40Defense ... 22:31Check out Jared's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP plays for Draft Kings.

Joe Burrow has told us that the Bengals don't plan to play their key guys this week. Other teams are leaving us guessing. Can we use Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams or any other Packers starters? What about the Eagles and Cowboys? COVID has knocked out a couple more key players -- Justin Fields and Diontae Johnson -- and left us with other situations to monitor. And questions remain with who the 49ers will play at QB and RB.

Good luck avoiding Trey Lance in cash on DraftKings this week. But what do we do with him in GPP lineups? Is there enough value to fit Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp into lineups, or must we decide between the 2 kings of Week 17?Here's the rundown ...QB ... 00:52RB ... 8:19WR ... 16:19TE ... 22:10Defense ... 26:45Check out Jared's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP plays for Draft Kings.

It's Championship week in most fantasy football playoffs. That means it's time to overthink everything. Who should we worry about coming off COVID? Who are the fill-ins that belong in our Week 17 lineups? And who are the land mines we should try to avoid? Jimmy Garoppolo's thumb injury puts Trey Lance in the spotlight. Lamar Jackson is back ... but still might not be ready to play. Rex Burkhead, Michael Carter and Damien Harris are coming off big games ... but are any of them usable this week?

We don't usually care about cheap QBs nearly as much on FanDuel as we do on DraftKings. But this week finds Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow aligning high ceilings with attractive price tags. That can help us get Cooper Kupp and his $9800 salary into lineups. And a bevy of $5k-$6K options at RB just might make it tough to avoid selecting 3 of them.QB ... 00:56RB ... 4:15WR ... 9:40TE ... 14:48Defense ... 18:12Check out Kevin's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP top plays for FanDuel.

Antonio Brown is back, and he's cheap. But does that make him a lock for DraftKings lineups? Justin Jackson looks like a potential DFS centerpiece at $4200 if Austin Ekeler remains on the COVID list. But does the wealth of options at RB keep him from being a "must" play?QB ... 1:35RB ... 6:30WR ... 10:16TE ... 14:27Defense ... 17:27Check out Jared's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP plays for Draft Kings.

COVID situations, injuries and a devastating Week 15 leave us with at least as many questions as answers heading into the semifinals of the fantasy football playoffs. But answers are our specialty here. How should you approach Thursday Night questions? Who should you play over Patrick Mahomes if Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill don't make it back? Who benefits if Austin Ekeler remains out? Who can you turn to for upside at TE?Let's hit on all of it.Thursday Night Football: San Francisco 49ers at Tennessee Titans ... 2:04Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers ... 9:41Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals ... 13:47Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals ... 19:11Los Angeles Rams at Minnesota Vikings ... 25:18Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots ... 30:26Los Angeles Chargers at Houston Texans ... 37:31Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers ... 41:40Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets ... 48:42New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles ... 52:28Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons ... 56:30Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks ... 1:01:00Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs ... 1:05:23Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders ... 1:11:27Sunday Night Football: Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys ... 1:14:33Monday Night Football: Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints ... 1:24:13Check out our full Week 16 rankings.

Adam and Mike see the end of the regular season looming for the FFPC's national contests. That only makes every lineup decision more crucial and presents the extra layer of prep for a potential post-season run. Check out the full Draft Sharks Week 12 rankings.

Josh Allen and Dak Prescott highlight the 3-game Thanksgiving DFS slate at QB. D'Andre Swift, Stefon Diggs and Darren Waller flirt with "must-play" status at their positions. But who might you actually want to leave out? And who could be the ever-important sleepers that flip this slate?Check our full Week 12 rankings. Play around with the Lineup Generator.

A.J. Brown stands out for this week's matchup with Houston. Should we be apprehensive after his down Week 10, though? The Cowboys and Chiefs figure to draw plenty of attention, but there's also attractive upside in the Bengals-Raiders matchup as well as the whole Dolphins offense vs. the Jets.QB ... 00:48RB ... 5:07WR ... 9:09TE ... 13:33Defense ... 17:07Check out Kevin's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP top plays for FanDuel.

Just like in Week 10, the main slate once again provides many attractive RB options. The ability to spend down at that spot opens up possibilities at WR and makes it easier to go studly (Patrick Mahomes?) at QB across contest formats. AJ Dillon and James Conner stand out as low-priced workhorses, while Myles Gaskin draws the league's best matchup. And, of course, savings there can make it easier to fit Christian McCaffrey before his salary gets back to the $10K range.QB ... 1:18RB ... 7:13WR ... 11:52TE ... 18:53Defense ... 21:57Check out Jared's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP plays for Draft Kings.

The Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs hit Thursday with the league's highest over/under by 6 points, so you know we're playing everyone available from that contest. But there are lots of questions to answer elsewhere. Can Russell Wilson bounce back? How high does AJ Dillon rank? What's the latest on Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Chubb?

With Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs mercifully off this week's main slate, it's not immediately clear whether any game takes center stage. The Vikings-Chargers clash in L.A. seems to present as much upside as any, though. Justin Herbert comes off a bounce-back performance at Philly. Dalvin Cook gets a run-funnel defensive matchup. And we might be able to get some stud wideouts at lower ownership than usual. We'll also run through some attractive value options at RB and TE that can help you unlock your desired Week 10 strategy.QB ... 00:47RB ... 5:00WR ... 10:20TE ... 14:15Defense ... 17:32Check out Kevin's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP top plays for FanDuel.

Alvin Kamara's knee injury and Nick Chubb's COVID status leave us with a couple of fill-in RBs who are difficult to avoid. Do we play both, though, or fit high-end RBs Dalvin Cook and Najee Harris into the same lineup? The answer isn't necessarily 1 or the other this week, because there are enough options across positions to get creative with your lineup building.QB ... 00:50RB ... 5:24WR ... 11:52TE ... 17:36Defense ... 20:47Check out Jared's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP plays for Draft Kings.
