Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

Thursday night was a blowout, but that's not what anyone's talking about. The Dolphins offense took a potentially lethal blow when Tua Tagovailoa suffered another concussion, which is a huge bummer. We'll talk it through, plus we'll check in on the other Week 2 injury news you need to know, and we'll perform a little Overreaction Theater by listing players we've already changed our minds on after just one game.

Puka Nacua being placed on IR and potentially being out for a lot longer than just a month is a great example of how unpredictable all this stuff is. Wasn't that supposed to be Cooper Kupp!?!?! We'll talk about it, and then we'll help you start building those Week 2 fantasy lineups with some flex talk. Also let's preview the Bills visiting the Dolphins on Thursday night, play another incredible mixtape, and then pick some DFS DraftKings teams. Big fun! Come on in!

Our mind palaces are shattered! So many of the arguments we made to construct our draft strategies have been rendered moot! And yet somehow we must persist, and that begins with figuring out who to start and who to sit for our Week 2 fantasy football lineups. We'll find some players who had "interesting" Week 1s and discuss how we're ranking them for Week 2, including what to do with the Dolphins backfield and the Bears receiving game. It's time for some Week 2 ranks talk!

Well, that was electric. The Chiefs beat the Ravens in a heart-stopping season opener that featured some legit fantasy football drama. What's up with Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce? Is Isaiah Likely gonna be a thing? What about Derrick Henry's usage? And that Baltimore offensive line? We'll review the tape from the Thursday night opener! Plus we'll predict the league's best and worst offensive situations before the season begins, to see how good we are at knowing the environments that make players must-draft or stay-away.

You're putting together you're Week 1 lineup. Hopefully you're pretty happy with how your fantasy draft went. Then maybe don't undo all your good work by tinkering too much! Our general advice for Week 1 is going to be: don't play too many matchups, don't get too worried about player roles, and don't freak out about snap counts. But are there exceptions to these rules here in 2024? We'll discuss -- plus we'll weigh in on some starting running backs who'll apparently be returning punts and kicks!

Would you believe the NFL regular season games start this week? Finally! We've just about drafted all of our teams, and it's time to start thinking about roster management. Clearly, we don't want you to make *too* many huge changes on the Week 1 waiver wire, but if you've got some IR guys you're planning on reserving, we've got some ideas for interesting names to add. We'll also sift through all our drafts and discover the players we selected most, plus do a SnarkBag and a great listener mixtape!
