High Stakes Fantasy Advantage

With Greg & Tom "working" in St. Louis today, Darik brings on an NFFC customer (Ryan Rizzio) to discuss his experience of being at a Live Event for the first time, jumping into the Primetime contest, his draft strategy, and how he veiws said team going forward. They move into discussing Ryan's favorite NFL (legal) bets this weekend starting with tonight's Panthers/Eagles tilt. As Darik decides to take a Thursday hiatus on his "boom" picks, Ryan gives his calls at QB, RB, WR, & TE. If you love to gamble (and who doesn't?), follow him on Twitter to see more NFL/NCAA picks this season: @ryanmriz

The guys start off the show discussing NFBC payments, the 15th year upcoming in 2018, and the new NFFC Daily Draft Party on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, along with Sunday mornings before kickoff. If you want to draft fantasy hoops, please check out www.playnfbkc.com . Once the guys move on to NFL Week 6, they discuss bye teams, limited FA this week, quick injury takes, TE's, heavy favorites, Saints/Lions, and Panters/Iggles. To end the show, Darik essentially gives himself an ulcer with a certain Sunday prediction. With Greg and Tom out of commission for the rest of the week, Darik will fly solo on Thursday/Friday, maybe with a guest or two before he heads for vacation on South Beach next week!

Back from a long weekend, the guys delve into the MNF game the Vikings stole from the Bears. They discuss the future fortunes of Mitch Trubisky, Jerick McKinnon, L. Murray, the Vikes TD celebration, the Bears phenomenal 2-pt conversion, and the Adrian Peterson trade to the Arizona Cardinals. They move on to set the stage for Sunday's HUGE NFC North division battle between the Vikes/Packers at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, and discuss the abyss that is the New Yourk Ginats WR corps. Finally they touch on the top scorers at various positions from last weekend, includng the Texans trio, AJ Green's weird game, Green Bay's RB situation, the best name in the NFL, and NFC North QB's.

Darik joins Greg and Tom in Iola for the past 3 days and can't wait to get back to God's country (MN). The guys talk about early 2018 plans, Thursday Night Football from Buffalo Wild Wings, and look ahead to some signature Sunday games including the nightcap of Chiefs/Texans. Tom puts Jaron Brown on a HUGE game, while Darik does the same with M. Bennett, Justin Tucker, and Lev Bell. Greg loves Thomas Rawls this weekend (we're not sure why). Don't forget the byes this week: Redskins, Saints, Broncos, Atlanta. Also, it's FAAB night in our Cutline leagues.....have a great weekend, and we'll see you on Monday. Get out and support your local high school team tonight!

Quick hitters from just Tom & Darik today as Greg is MIA (read: golfing): MNF, Chiefs, Redskins, Top 3-5 guys at all positions ROS, 1Q of season surprises, picks as of now to play in AFC/NFC title games, and Darik's predcition for tonight's Twins/Yankees. Go Twins!

Downer Darik opens the show with a somber tune due to the Dalvin Cook injury. The guys move on to discuss that one and all the other injuries from Sunday, and what you--and the NFL teams--can do to (try to) overcome. Some quick takes: Titans to run more; Julio hurt (again/forever); all Bills and Rams do is win; all the Eagles do is run, run & run; Dolphins are terrible led by J-Cut & Ajayi; Watkins is an afterthought; first bye week coming up...check those QB situations. Good/Bad calls from Friday DFS values...including a Safety call by the Savant!!

With Tom somehow allowed another day off, it's just Greg and Darik to finish off the week. First off, the guys touch briefly on the Packers dismantling of the lowly Bears and one of the dirtiest hits ever. They move on to discuss the probable London Shootout (Saints/Dolphins), Vikes/Lions, Steelers/Ravens, Titans/Texans, and Raiders/Broncos. A quick injury update is followed by Darik's value plays for Fanball Daily this weekend...have a great weekend, and get out and support your local high school team tonight!

The guys spend most of the pod discussing some Packers/Bears history and then move on to breaking down the real game, the fantasy ramifications, the Vegas line, and make predictions. They also chat about this week's prospects for Chris Thompson, TY Hilton, Alvin Kamara, Adrian Peterson, Kelvin Benjamin, Will Fuller, DeShaun Watson, and the OAK passing game. Tom's HUGE prediction for Sunday is that the Colts will get a safety...bravo!

First, Darik gets a new nickname after telling a story. Without a whole lot of news, the guys talk about the positional scoring leaders, their costs of acquisition, and the sheer dominance of RB's right now. They tackle other topics like waiting on QB's, low-scoring WR output, Sammy Watkins' future, Willie Snead, and the Bears/Packers matchup on Thursday night.

The show starts off with Greg and Tom admitting they are old. They recap Monday night's game, paying homage to Dak, and breaking down the Cards backfield and wideout situations. Moving on, they discuss how close all the @theNFFC national contests are after three weeks. Later, Greg reveals his love for the viewing of London Games (c'mon NFL Ticket!). Willie Snead returns, and we may have seen the last of Darren Sproles (sigh)...and finally, Tom, as always, talks kickers and Eagles RB's! Back on Wednesday..
