Introducing Murphy ‘GO TIDE’ Flacco, the new host of The Fantasy Takeaway Podcast. The week is over! The bet has an outcome, and Joe bested Murphy. The Colts crushed the 8 point line for last week’s wager, so for this week, Murphy is known as Murphy ‘GO TIDE’ Flacco. Find out how the guys did on all their cheap dates, and check out the Week 8 News, Notes & Injury Roundup. Dive into the Studs & Duds and this week’s Featured Matchup on this episode of The Fantasy Takeaway. Don’t miss an episode!

Fantasy football is often about who can find the best value in the draft and off the waiver wire. With that simple idea in mind, we at The Fantasy Takeaway have decided to take a long hard look at just how much value we’re providing to our listeners. The significant changes started with our Thursday Night Preview in Week 6, and that segment was such a resounding success, we’re introducing a brand new Matchups segment in the same vein. Let us know what you think with an iTunes review and include your Twitter handle and you might become the owner of a fancy new Fantasy Takeaway T-Shirt. First up, it wouldn’t be Tuesday without News & Notes, Injury Roundup, Booth Review, and Tapping the wire.
