We're back and Week 9 is upon us. On today's show, we'll preview a weird Thursday night game where a 6-2 team (Texans) is an underdog to a 2-6 team (Jets), by talking about what the heck is going on with Houston. We'll use that as a springboard to get into many more start/sit topics for Week 9, including whether to stick with J.K. Dobbins, C.J. Stroud, Bo Nix and many others. And we'll wrap things up with a fun look at the week in DFS with DraftKings!

We're not gonna lie. The Week 9 waiver wire is...not amazing. But at this time of year, we believe in roster churn, and if you've got some players at the end of your fantasy football bench who aren't doing anything, give 'em the Thursday Boot and try someone else. We'll count down who we like best off Week 9 waivers, plus we'll review the rest of the Week 8 game film to give you an edge as we creep toward the fantasy playoffs!

Fantasy football is frustrating! You do everything right, and then your guy decides to get hurt! We'll discuss injuries to Stefon Diggs, Jordan Love, Brian Thomas, Christian Kirk and others, plus we'll go beyond the box score to break down film and tell you the truth behind the stats. Is Baker Mayfield foolproof? Did Jalen Hurts just ascend back to an elite level? Are Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon and Josh Jacobs unstoppable? We'll talk about tons of the Week 8 action on today's pod!

We're already halfway through the fantasy football regular season, and we've got some hardware to hand out! We'll discuss our Most and Least Valuable Players so far, we'll make predictions about some guys in the second half of the season, we'll guess which coach is getting axed, and much more! Plus we'll discuss the injury names you need to know for Week 8, and review the film on Thursday night's Vikings/Rams tilt, which ended in the stupidest way possible!

Chuba Hubbard has been a revelation in Carolina. Of course, the Panthers aren't very good, Bryce Young will start for them this week, and Jonathon Brooks is on the way. For today's Film Futures Or Whatever It's Called, we're evaluating Chuba with an eye on his career and his dynasty stock, because he's an unrestricted free agent in 2025. We'll also do some Flexual Healing to answer some start/sit lineup decisions for Week 8, we'll preview the Vikings/Rams game Thursday night, we'll play an awesome Cartavious-related mixtape, and select our DraftKings DFS teams.

DeAndre Hopkins got traded to the Chiefs in the middle of today's show, so you'll get our real-time reaction to the news! We also broke down a bunch of interesting guys from our Week 8 fantasy football ranks to help you decide how to replace your injured studs. Who are the leading candidates to replace Brandon Aiyuk, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin? Should you be willing to start Tua Tagovailoa right away? How about Jonathan Taylor? Is Alvin Kamara someone you should be shying away from? We'll talk about those guys and many more, plus we'll do a wonderful snarkbag! Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo!

Disaster struck Chris Godwin in Tampa on Monday night, as he was lost for the season on a meaningless play at the end of a blowout. We'll talk about that and also Marvin Harrison's lack of usage from the two prime-time games, plus we'll focus on the remainder of the Week 7 game film to go beyond the box score and make your fantasy football team better. Then we'll begin our Week 8 process by discussing the adds and drops you can consider, with a special emphasis on wideouts considering the injuries to Godwin, Mike Evans, Brandon Aiyuk and more.

An awful lot of injuries highlighted the Week 7 NFL action, and we've got reactions! Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel went down. Jayden Daniels left and didn't return. DK Metcalf is injured. We'll give our opinions on the big names who might miss time, plus discuss how their teams looked without them on a big film-review show. Also Russell Wilson and Davante Adams joined their teams' attacks on Sunday night, we got a big Cartavious game in London, and Ken Walker and Breece Hall might just be the Spider-Man Pointing Meme.

During the summer, we talk a lot about not over-emphasizing offensive contexts when deciding whether or not to draft a player. But situations *do* matter! Of course they do! We're just not amazing at predicting them beforehand. Now that we're six games into the season, we have a much *better* sense of which offenses offer great environmental upside, and which don't, and we'll talk about that on today's pod. Also: a review of a sleepy Broncos/Saints game and a look at the injury names you need to know for Week 7.

Week 7 looks like a tough one for figuring out the bottom of your fantasy team's starting lineup! Today we'll do our best to clear up some confusion on some of the running backs and wideouts you're making tough start/sit decisions on. Plus we've got a deep dive into the film of Jaguars rookie wideout Brian Thomas, we'll preview the weird-yet-mesmerizing Broncos/Saints Thursday night game, we'll play an incredible listener mixtape and pick our DFS teams.
