    Week 2 reactions & the waiver wire

    2 weeks into the season already.  Hopefully you are 2-0 in most leagues and not 0-2.  We introduce a new segment titled, ‘What’s that smell?’  Just by the name you can probably tell it isn’t about players named Patrick Mahomes.  We discuss some players that are, simply put, not playing well at all.  As we all know, injuries happen and some of them are very unfortunate.  To name a few; Big Ben, Drew Brees, Devin Singletary.  Injuries are never good and we never wish them upon any players.  With that being said, they do create opportunities for the next guy up which means…WAIVER WIRE!!!  Tune in to hear The Fam discuss their reactions from week 2 PLUS players you should be targeting for your week 3 of the season.

    Predictions, Reactions, & 100 years

    The NFL season is so close you can almost reach out and grab it!!  What a busy weekend right after the final cut’s to get to 53 man roosters.  In this episode, The Fam breaks down some trades & players that got released AND signed with another team.  Have you also ever thought, should I draft a player that is very talented but he plays for a not so good team??  We discuss this very topic and ask the specific question…Is Joe Mixon worth is current ADP playing for a bad Bengals team?  Other question’s you might ponder when drafting; Can a bad/sub par/ below .500 team produce fantasy relevant players?  The show is then ended with some late round/sleeper TE’s.  After the top 5-7 TE’s, every player is up in the air as to where they could potentially finish.  SUBSCRIBE and tune in to hear all of these questions answered!

    WR Rankings

    Number 3 of the ranking episodes!  Wide receivers may be the deepest position in football.  Yes you will get a fantastic return on taking Julio or Deandre or Thomas…but who are some later receivers that you should be targeting?  Which Rams wide receiver should you be targeting out of the bunch?  Are any of the J-E-T-S receiving core worth a look when drafting?  The Fam tackles (pun) these questions so make sure to SUBSCRIBE and listen!
