The Extra Point: Fantasy Football Week 8 Tough Start/Sit Calls, Trade Advice & Players to Trust! (Ep. 2304)
FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast
Trade Amon-Ra and Sell High on Minnesota
The hosts enthusiastically accept an Amon-Ra St. Brown trade and advise moving Minnesota’s defense for any useful asset before its schedule worsens.
Is Jaxon Smith-Njigba officially the best receiver in football? Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson have some strong opinions on that and plenty more in this week's Extra Point!
The guys answer listener questions about DeVonta Smith, Chase Brown, Sam Darnold, and some difficult Week 9 lineup decisions. They also examine Colston Loveland's recent surge and what it means for his fantasy value.
Plus, should you trade your best players when you're sitting at 1-6? Welsh and Erickson offer practical advice for turning around a disappointing fantasy season.
