FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

Football is almost here! We are joined by Sigmund Bloom from Footballguys to shed light on which players you should consider starting and sitting during the first week of NFL action! Should you cut Tony Pollard (3:12) now that Ezekiel Elliott is back and how much work can we expect Elliott (5:33) to see this week? Is Miles Sanders (15:53) set to break out in Week 1, has John Brown (30:17) been heavily undervalued so far, and is Mitch Trubisky (54:37) a viable streamer against Green Bay's improved defense?

Now that most teams are drafted and we begin thinking about our lineups, Pat Mayo of DraftKings joins us on the show to break down Week 1's top sleeper options at each position. Chase Edmonds could find himself the beneficiary of the Air Raid offense (5:49), Matt Breida is no slouch which he proved last season (10:29), and C.J. Anderson could steal some touches from Kerryon Johnson this week (23:13). We move onto the WRs starting with Ted Ginn Jr. (25:16). Pat explains why he's a big fan of Dede Westbrook (35:04) this week and beyond. Jimmy Garroppolo could be forced to keep up with Tampa's offense (43:58) and Austin Ekeler kicks off our list of players to target in early trades (51:56).

We're with Marcas Grant from NFL Media as we analyze the plethora of news from the weekend and break down our top waiver wire stashes. How has the fantasy outlook of the Texans' skill position players changed after the acquisitions of Carlos Hyde (3:37), Laremy Tunsil (4:46), and Kenny Stills (8:06)? What does LeSean McCoy signing with Kansas City mean for Damien Williams (10:48), Darwin Thompson (16:22), and the Bills' RBs (20:36)? Plus, the holdout saga continues with Ezekiel Elliott (26:57) and Melvin Gordon (29:31) as we move into Week 1. Will Ty Montgomery (37:49) have a role in the Jets' backfield, is there a chance Jimmy Garoppolo (45:16) loses his job this season, and who is Seattle's second-best receiver (49:55)?

Justin Boone from theScore is with us today as we give our insight on which players we are trying to get in every draft. Are we heavily undervaluing Tre'Quan Smith (2:41) and does O.J. Howard (25:13) have upside to finish as the TE1? Is Melvin Gordon (38:50) getting ready to play and is a breakout year in store for Dede Westbrook (56:48)?

Are you ready for the season because we certainly are. Jim Sannes of numberFire took time to join the show and together, we're focusing in on a few key names that haven't been mentioned all that much this year. Kenyan Drake (3:25) and Kenny Stills (4:07) have been in the headlines recently, but is there any weight to the trade rumors? Should we buy into the report that Melvin Gordon is likely going to sign a deal (5:08)? We're naming our top three breakouts beginning with a pair of Packers receivers (12:26). Kirk Cousins has a golden opportunity to return to fantasy stardom (29:40) and Royce Freeman could bounce back from his rookie campaign to not only make an impact, but hurt Phillip Lindsay's value (42:02).

The crew is reunited with BettingPros Podcast host, Dan Harris, and together the trio shares their top preseason takeaways. The guys engage in a couple heated debates on Tony Pollard's (3:37) value if Ezekiel Elliott misses games and Derrius Guice's (16:18) upside if he takes over Washington's starting RB job soon. Is Dede Westbrook (26:48) primed to excel as Nick Foles' top receiver and does Josh Allen (43:56) possess top-10 QB potential? We finish out the show with a fun round of Fantasy Fill in the Blank (48:00) and discuss whether Sammy Watkins (59:39) is being far too overlooked in drafts. Sponsors:

We kick off the show by breaking down the biggest news from the football weekend, including the fallout from Lamar Miller's (2:12) serious injury and Andrew Luck's (7:01) shocking retirement. Michael Fabiano joins the gang in the show's second half to examine which players offer league-winning upside (28:13). Does Odell Beckham (33:04) have more upside than any other receiver, can Kyler Murray's (40:47) rushing can put him in the QB1 overall conversation, and is Melvin Gordon's (48:35) elite production worth taking a gamble on in the third or fourth round?

We analyze which players have moved up or down our rankings the most throughout the preseason with Dalton Del Don from Yahoo! Sports. Is Nick Chubb (10:06) deserving of the first overall pick in drafts and does Kerryon Johnson (26:51) have less upside than most people think? Are drafters undervaluing Sammy Watkins (38:16) and is Lamar Jackson (53:14) actually being underrated as a passer? Sponsors:
