Deep Sleepers Podcast

The Deep Sleepers crew are back for a slightly condensed Week 12 fantasy/betting preview. They begin with their starts of the week, where Jeremy is diving nervously back into the Travis Fulgham well, while Samantha suggests a Giants RB that may be flying under the radar. In their sits of the week, some Taysom Hill hot takes emerge, as both are looking to fade the Saints offense against Denver. Finally, in Show Us Your Picks, Jeremy bets on Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes scoring points, while Samantha is a homer and picks her Carolina Panthers.

The Deep Sleepers crew preview the Thanksgiving slate of games, including the now-postponed Steelers vs Ravens matchup, which was postponed right as the show was being uploaded (it's still part of the DFS slate, though). Jeremy and Samantha begin with Texans at Lions, where they are high on most of the Texans and expect points to be scored on the game's two bad defenses. Next, the Cowboys vs. the WTF, a game that will be ... less exciting. After a now-somewhat-irrelevant Ravens vs. Steelers preview, they discuss DFS options for the Thursday (and Sunday) slate.

The Deep Sleepers crew recorded this podcast before the Saints announced Taysom Hill would be starting this weekend's game against the Falcons, so you're going to have to ignore a good amount of Jameis Winston banter to get through this episode. Anyway, in Start/Sit, Samantha suggests you keep riding the Washington RB wave, while Jeremy advises you to veer away from an Eagles receiver. In DFS 5 for 5, Jeremy offers a lineup you can build entirely out of $5K wide receivers that would allow both Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook in your lineup. And in Show Us Your Picks, Jeremy recommends the Dolphins as a play, while Samantha likes the Eagles and Browns to go under.

The Deep Sleepers crew had a bad week. Like, a really bad week. But that's fantasy, that's gambling, it happens, and they discuss their mistakes before burning the tape and moving on. In their Week 10 takeaways, they discuss whether Kyler Murray is a legitimate MVP candidate, the trash fire Eagles, the dearth of tight ends in fantasy and how to bet games with inclement weather. Finally, some waiver wire targets, including a pair of Miami Dolphins and yet another rookie receiver.

The Deep Sleepers crew begins their Week 10 preview by recapping all of the injury news, including the impending return of Kenyan Drake and the possible end of Chase Edmonds szn (to this podcast's chagrin). Then they dive into their Starts and Sits of the week, making the case for a pair of Denver Broncos receivers and against all San Francisco 49ers running backs (because Kyle Shanahan hates your fantasy team). In DFS 5 for 5, Christian McCaffrey's injury makes a cheap Panthers RB a "free space" in DraftKings. And in Show Us Your Picks, Jeremy has multiple plays on the Seahawks–Rams showdown, while Samantha extolls the virtues of Backdoor Burrow. As always, the show ends with Jeremy's Degenerate Bet of the Week.

The Deep Sleepers crew recaps an eventful Week 9 in the NFL, which of course means more injuries. What do you do if you have Christian McCaffrey, David Johnson or David Montgomery? They then move into their major takeaways from the week of action, including why you should often bet double-digit underdogs and the Raiders overs. Finally, some waiver wire targets, including a Carolina Panthers receiver that is not DJ Moore (RIP to that man).

The Deep Sleepers crew have a collective foggy brain due to the election, but try their best to bring you as much fantasy and betting content as you need for Week 9. They begin with a flurry of injury and COVID news, as seemingly half the league has an outbreak (yet the NFL still has everyone playing their games). They then move into Start/Sit, where Jeremy is all aboard the Chase Edmonds bandwagon and Samantha warns against a rookie RB. In DFS 5 For 5, they think you should take a look at a few post-hype RBs, and a cheap wide receiver in a likely Seahawks-Bills shootout. And in Show Us Your Picks, one of the two hosts (guess which one) has their entire future mortgaged on two games this week. As always, the show concludes with Jeremy's Degenerate Bet of the Week.

Week 8 featured all sorts of oddities: major upsets, actual fights, and whatever the hell NBC showed on Sunday night (allegedly it was a football game between the Cowboys and the Eagles). The Deep Sleepers crew talks major takeaways from the week, including why you should worry about a number of rookie running backs and how to value the Steelers' receivers. They then get into their favorite waiver wire targets ahead of Week 9, including another rookie WR and a pair of Rams RBs.

Benny Ricciardi joins the Deep Sleepers for a jam-packed episode of fantasy, gambling and DFS content. Jeremy and Samantha begin the show with Start/Sit, suggesting you deploy a pair of Eagles pass catchers and steer clear of their opponents, the Dallas Cowboys. Benny joins the crew for a DFS segment where all three select their best DFS plays for the week, best DFS stacks and best longshots (featuring a number of Green Bay Packers). Finally, they do a picks "draft," selecting three best bets each snake-style – and once again, the Packers are prominent players.

Jeremy begins the show by recapping his Week 7 bets, which would have been close to perfect if Cody Parkey didn't rise from the grave to ruin his life once again. The Deep Sleepers crew then go into their Week 7 takeaways, which include breaking down a messy Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield, the possibility of the Bills being frauds and the death of the phrase "home dog." Finally, waiver wire options for the week, including another rookie WR and – gasp – someone on the Jets.
