Austin Martin might sound like a luxury car, but he's something even better. He's the guy who won last year's FFPC Playoff Challenge, raking in $500,000. So our Mike Schopp and Adam Krautwurst brought him on to find out how he did it, in search of some tips for winning this year's contest. You'll hear about the strategy that led to the title, beginning thoughts on this year's lineup building -- and even some early 2021 fantasy football mock-draft results.

​Check out Jared's strategy breakdown on this year's FFPC Challenge as well as our full playoff rankings and Wild Card Round projections.

Derrick Henry and Alvin Kamara run toward Sunday with huge upside ... and huge salaries. Can we find a way to fit both into our lineups, though? It'll take mining for values at other positions, but we have some options at WR and TE -- as well as RB for that flex spot. Plus, you'll find multiple defenses at nice prices going up against backup QBs. This should be a fun slate to close out the regular season.

Here's the rundown:

QB ... 3:30

RB ... 7:26

WR ... 12:24

TE ... 16:16

Flex ... 20:00

Defense ... 21:49

Derrick Henry rules the Week 17 talk for a rematch with the Texans defense that afforded him 212 yards and a pair of TDs in their 1st meeting. But how should we build around his big salary? And just how many options should we consider from that Titans-Texans matchup that carries the week's highest over/under? Outside that matchup: Jared loves the Vikings-Lions game, while Matt thinks there's sneaky upside to Cowboys-Giants (but he might be the only one). Who gets Tyler's Week 17 focus?

Let's get to the rundown:

QB ... 3:00

RB ... 6:45

WR ... 12:57

TE ... 20:47

Flex ... 25:22

Defense ... 26:58

​It's Week 17. You should be done with your fantasy football season, and we'll talk about why. (Lookin' at you, Chiefs and Steelers.) But if you're still playing -- even if just DFS -- then we'll look into some QB decisions as well as some upside targets and downside risks at every position.

Here's the rundown:

Resting teams ... 1:54

Injuries to watch ... 8:37

QBs ... 12:58

RBs ... 22:32

WRs ... 31:03

TEs ... 40:10

Defenses ... 46:04

Pay up for Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson, or pay down for Jalen Hurts? That's the 1st question we're tackling this week. RB just might present a small pool of chalky options for Week 15. WR and TE look busier, though.

Here's the rundown:

QB ... 2:46

RB ... 7:16

WR ... 11:19

TE ... 15:16

Flex ... 17:56

The Chiefs-Saints matchup looks like the centerpiece of this slate, but Michael Thomas' ankle injury complicates things a bit. We're still playing plenty of guys from that game ... but there's at least 1 player we don't agree on anymore. Colts-Texans presents options as well. And we're looking for savings to fit multiple expensive RBs.

RB ... 8:05

WR ... 14:58

Can Justin Herbert rebound vs. an ailing Raiders defense? Should you trust Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff or Philip Rivers this week? What is COVID doing to the Ravens' WR corps? Willie Snead and Jeff Wilson Jr. might be set to factor in more heavily than we could have imagined. And we surprisingly have to figure out which Steelers actually belong in our lineups for the high-ceiling matchup with Cincinnati.

Here's the rundown:

Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders ... 00:56

How can an underpriced QB appear near the top of the salary board? Patrick Mahomes just might fit that category this week. But he's far from the only option. The $7K range presents a wealth of targets. And that doesn't even include the return of Justin Herbert. At RB and WR, Derrick Henry and Davante Adams look difficult to avoid -- but there are other high-dollar options to strongly consider.

Here's the rundown:

QB ... 3:09

RB ... 6:57

WR ... 10:54

TE ... 14:58

Flex ... 18:37

Defense ... 20:08

Justin Herbert and the Chargers followed a down week at Buffalo by letting the Patriots shut them out. So why are we talking about them so much for Week 14? Should the Dolphins' tough pass defense push us away from the Chiefs' high-powered passing game ... and into the K.C. backfield? And where can we save salary this week to get our top-shelf options in?

Here's the rundown:

QB ... 2:39

RB ... 8:35

WR ... 15:41

TE ... 22:07

Flex ... 25:44

Defense ... 27:49
