The SportsGrid Fantasy Football Show

Dane Martinez and Scott Engel open the first show of the month of November looking at some Week 9 lineup issues, with Scott and Dane questioning which Packer wide receiver to use between Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The biggest lineup story of the week has been the Jameis or Ryan Fitzpatrick argument, with the guys saying right now, the Bucs trust Fitzpatrick more than Winston. Looking at some Week 9 rankings, Dane thinks the Chargers, and Melvin Gordon, have to make a statement this week against the Seahawks. The guys preview the Thursday night Bay Area battle between the Raiders and 49ers, and think even though both teams are at the bottom of the league totem polls, the 49ers look more like they are trying to win games.  #FNTSY #NFL #fantasyfootball #Week9 #Bucs #JameisWinston #RyanFitzpatrick #LAChargers #MelvinGordon #TNF #Raiders #49ers #CJBaethard Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Dane Martinez and Scott Engel open the show looking at the Patriots ugly victory over the Bills, where we saw New England dress only 2 running backs, and Buffalo trying everything, including the kitchen sink, to win this game. The guys go on to talk about the Browns firing HC Hue Jackson and OC Todd Haley, with Scott thinking it will be interesting to see who Cleveland goes after to get this Baker Mayfield-led offense up and running. The news of Ryan Fitzpatrick being given back the starting QB job in Tampa Bay has Dane happy that the gun-slinger is back under center, and Scott says Fitzpatrick is only fantasy relevant depending on who your other quarterback may be. Six teams go on BYE for Week 9, and the guys try to help out people who may be walking in to a BYE WEEK HELL situation. #FNTSY #NFL #fantasyfootball #Week8 #MNF #Patriots #Bills #TomBrady #JamesWhite #LeSeanMcCoy #Bucs #JameisWinston #RyanFitzpatrick #DirkKoetter #Browns #HueJackson #ToddHaley #BakerMayfield #BYEWeekHell #Week9 Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Dane Martinez and Scott Engel open the show questioning not only if Dirk Koetter will be fired, but if Ryan Fitzpatrick will go back to starting duties in Tampa Bay. The trade deadline is looming, and the guys wonder if DeSean Jackson will still demand out of Tampa Bay if Fitzpatrick goes under center again. In the NFC East, the Redskins seem to be on the right track to win the division, with Adrian Peterson taking advantage of the Giants defensive line sans Snacks Harrison. Now that we are 8 weeks in to the NFL season, the guys question if the Chiefs and Pat Mahomes are for real, and if they can take down teams like the Rams, who they will see in a couple of weeks. With six teams on bye in week 9, Dane and Scott argue if Peyton Barber will finally be relevant, and possibly a top 25 running back.  #FNTSY #NFL #fantasyfootball #Week8 #Bucs #JameisWinston #RyanFitzpatrick #DJax #PeytonBarber #Chiefs #PatMahomes Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
