Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens to break down the news coming out of Week 15 in the NFL before diving into what is left on waiver wires, but not before laying out some crucial waiver wire etiquette.First, the guys discuss the disappointing news coming out regarding Jonathan Taylor’s high ankle sprain and what a blow that is for fantasy teams. Then the guys spend time talking about Trevor Lawrence, who is ascending to one of the highest tiers of fantasy QBs right now.After a brief lesson on waiver wire etiquette, Andy explains why you should be adding Tyler Allgeier or Jahan Dotson to your team (especially if you’re still alive in the playoffs). Also, which “cheat code” QB/TE hybrid is the right answer this week?Finally, Matt and Andy tell you who to drop, who to hold on to, and give an update on Matt’s mom’s fantasy league.05:05 NEWS / Jonathan Taylor high ankle sprain12:15 NEWS / Jaguars LT Cam Robinson torn meniscus18:20 NEWS / Jets QB Mike White (ribs) has “a lot of hurdles to clear”24:30 NEWS / Packers waive WR Sammy Watkin25:40 SNF: Giants 20, Commanders 1237:00 Waiver Wire Etiquette41:45 Waiver Wire Pickups: Running Backs49:05 Waiver Wire Pickups: Wide Receivers & Tight Ends56:35 Waiver Wire Pickups: Brock Purdy60:05 Drops64:10 Hold On Loosely67:35 Treviso Babes UpdateCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon is joined by Scott Pianowski to recap the Sunday NFL action, which included a lot of exciting finishes but not a lot of big fantasy football performances, and talk about their takeaways from the Saturday games, as well.The guys kick off the show by talking about last week’s RB1, who might also end up this week’s RB1, Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon. They also talk about the Jeff Driskel positional eligibility discourse.After that, they break down a few games that didn’t help us a lot in fantasy before diving into another great Trevor Lawrence game, this time against the Dallas Cowboys, and talk about where he’ll likely rank next season amongst fantasy QBs.Matt and Scott really only talk about the NFC South teams because they have to. It’s that time of the year and they’re over watching bad teams, and the entire NFC South is bad.Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields, who played against each other this week, should both run less than they are now to lower their chances for injury. Diontae Johnson, on the other hand, should catch more passes but not go in the end zone…for history’s sake.Finally, the guys talk about what they liked or didn’t like from Saturday’s games including a new #2 WR in Minnesota, a new offensive gameplay from the Dolphins, and maybe a new relevant fantasy RB.03:35 Chiefs 30, Texans 24 (OT)13:20 Chargers 17, Titans 1416:40 Lions 20, Jets 1723:30 Jaguars 40, Cowboys 34 (OT)31:05 Bengals 34, Buccaneers 2335:00 Saints 21, Falcons 1838:30 Eagles 25, Bears 2042:00 Raiders 30, Patriots 2444:40 Steelers 24, Panthers 1647:15 Broncos 24, Cardinals 1551:00 Saturday takeawaysCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski to preview all of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday NFL games happening in Week 15 to help you win your fantasy football playoff matchup.Can you trust Dallas Goedert this week? Is Miles Sanders a terrible fantasy football analyst? What can we expect from Desmond Ridder (and will he help Drake London)? Lots of questions are answered in this very fun episode.Andy makes the pitch that Texans QB/TE Jeff Driskel might be the new Taysom Hill (at least for fantasy) and Scott implores you, the listener, to start Zonovan Knight against the Lions this week.Nobody is thrilled with Travis Etienne’s fantasy value since the Jaguars, for some reason, never seem to throw him the ball and Austin Ekeler is set up for a big game through the air against the Titans.Tom Brady’s issues in Tampa Bay are diagnosed (it’s the offensive line’s fault) but they won’t be fixed against a very good Bengals team that is getting healthy at the right time. Also, we’re excited about the Colts WRs against a bad Vikings defense but can we trust Matt Ryan’s arm?Sit down and get comfortable, these guys are handing out loads of fantasy football insight and advice that you’ll want to have in your back pocket while setting your lineups this week.Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Can you start Saquon Barkley? We know Terry McLaurin is efficient but do the Commanders pass enough for him to be fantasy relevant? Is any offense worse than the Denver Broncos?Matt and Rich implore people to stop fighting about Jared Goff, realize they we should’ve predicted the Buccaneers offense would be mediocre, and wonder what to make of Drake London with a new starting QB in Atlanta.All of this and much more in a fun episode of Stat Nerd Thursday!02:10 Philadelphia Eagles05:55 Buffalo Bills09:25 Dallas Cowboys11:40 Kansas City Chiefs15:30 Minnesota Vikings17:50 Baltimore Ravens21:00 Cincinnati Bengals23:30 Miami Dolphins28:00 New York Giants30:40 Washington Commanders32:30 Los Angeles Chargers34:50 New England Patriots36:45 New York Jets38:50 Tennessee Titans40:15 Detroit Lions42:40 Tampa Bay Buccaneers45:10 Atlanta Falcons47:10 Carolina Panthers48:10 Cleveland Browns50:20 Green Bay Packers51:45 Jacksonville Jaguars54:00 Las Vegas Raiders55:45 Pittsburgh Steelers56:25 Indianapolis Colts58:10 Arizona Cardinals59:30 Los Angeles Rams61:05 New Orleans Saints62:45 Chicago Bears63:55 Denver Broncos67:00 Houston Texans67:15 TNF 49ers at SeahawksCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

This week, the guys talk about the team’s win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night and chat with Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown.While talking about the great performance by the Chargers defense and Justin Herbert, Austin blames Los Angeles’ offensive identity as a pass-first team for putting him on pace to break the record for the most receptions by a RB in NFL history.The guys then open up the mailbag and debate rest vs. rust for teams that clinch an early playoff spot and discuss what “limited practice” means for guys dealing with injuries.They close out the show with Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J.

At the same time, the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are hoping for big games from their respective QBs (Mike White & Tua Tagovailoa).Speaking of Tua, he was terrible in the Dolphins’ loss on Sunday night football to a Los Angeles Chargers team that might be getting healthy at exactly the right time.The guys cover the breaking news of the Dallas Cowboys signing WR T.Y.

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski talk their way through all 10 of the NFL games that were played during the day on Sunday in Week 14, a week that included a ton of injuries and backup QBs and some bounce back fantasy performances from some unheralded QBs.D’Andre Swift went back to his normal usage but the Detroit Lions’ offense is fun because of how deep their WR room is and how good Jared Goff is playing.Trevor Lawrence showed exactly why he was the #1 overall pick with a virtuoso performance against the Titans, although it paled in comparison to what Jalen Hurts did against the New York Giants (and what Jalen Hurts seemingly does every week).Josh Allen put his body on the line to get a win against the New York Jets, but it raised the question if there are any good fantasy players on the Buffalo Bills besides Allen and Stefon Diggs.Deshaun Watson played terribly again, as did the Dallas Cowboys (who should’ve lost to the Houston Texans), and Patrick Mahomes played with his food until Russell Wilson rallied the Denver Broncos back before leaving with a scary head injury.Brock Purdy showed that just about any QB can be good in the San Francisco 49ers offense, the Carolina Panthers showed that they can beat almost anybody, and J.K. Dobbins looked good in a very ugly game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.02:40 Lions 34, Vikings 2314:40 Jaguars 36, Titans 2224:15 Eagles 48, Giants 2229:10 Bills 20, Jets 1236:50 Bengals 23, Browns 1043:00 Cowboys 27, Texans 2347:20 Chiefs 34, Broncos 2855:10 49ers 35, Buccaneers 761:40 Panthers 30, Seahawks 2464:50 Ravens 16, Steelers 14Check out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens and Dalton Del Don to preview all of the week 14 games in the NFL with an eye towards fantasy football.They kick off the show with an appreciation of Jalen Hurts, who has been so good this season that he and Patrick Mahomes might screw up the Offensive Player of the Year award, and slightly less appreciation for Daniel Jones.The Jets upset the Bills with Zach Wilson as their QB, so why are the Bills so heavily favored this week? The guys explain why, and talk about Zonovan Knight’s role in the New York offense before switching their attention to the Detroit Lions and D’Andre Swift’s health.Derrick Henry’s health is one of fantasy football’s most important questions right now. Are the Titans hiding an injury? Also, is there any reason to expect Deshaun Watson will be less terrible this week against a good Bengals defense?What can we expect from the Cowboys playmakers if we think their game against the Texans will be over by halftime? Who will split the 1 TD the Broncos are going to score against the Chiefs? Can we count on anyone with the Chiefs besides Mahomes and Kelce?Andy and Dalton have a hilarious debate about 49ers rookie and new starting QB Brock Purdy before talking about just how good Geno Smith has been this season. Also, Tyler Huntley taking over as the Ravens QB should mean good things for Mark Andrews.Find out what to expect from the Dolphins RBs in “The Acho Bowl” and why Kyler Murray seems so unhappy in Arizona in this very fun episode!02:30 Eagles at Giants07:40 Jets at Bills17:00 Vikings at Lions22:20 Jaguars at Titans30:55 Browns at Bengals36:25 Texans at Cowboys40:10 Chiefs at Broncos48:50 Buccaneers at 49ers58:00 Panthers at Seahawks61:25 Ravens at Steelers64:50 SNF Dolphins at Chargers70:20 MNF Patriots at CardinalsCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/

In this one, Austin talks about the mistakes he made in the team’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and trying to overcome that disappointment to focus on the next game.We open up Austin’s fantasy rosters to see how his teams are doing and which players helped or hurt him this season, which leads to a conversation about 2023 draft strategy and if fantasy managers should be taking QBs and TEs in the first round.In the Ask Austin mailbag, Ekeler talks about why running backs aren’t paid as much as other positions and discusses where his motivation comes from (and why it’s good to not have a goal or direction).Finally, Matt chats with Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb about his own fantasy team (and when his brother drafted him before CeeDee has the chance) and if he wants Odell Beckham Jr. to join the potent Cowboys offense.01:50 Raiders 27, Chargers 2014:20 Austin’s fantasy teams24:30 Ask Austin Mailbag24:50 Running backs being devalued?27:50 Steep drop-off for RBs?32:50 What’s Austin’s motivation?39:00 How do NFL players get their body used to start/stop?50:50 Treatment/recovery from injury42:50 Austin on Justin Herbert48:30 CeeDee Lamb interviewCheck out all the episodes of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 Spotify🖥️ YouTube📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tvAnd check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials:📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/
