Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

Most of our fantasy football drafts are over, and now it's time to think about what the heck our teams will look like in Week 1. On today's show we'll isolate a few situations worth tracking, because a lingering injury might mean a player you drafted to be a starter *won't* play in Week 1, and we'll have some waiver suggestions in such cases. Largely, though, we'll advise you to play your guys and not worry too much about matchups opening weekend! Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

Thanks for coming back to the Little Podcast That Could! It's time to start discussing the storylines we *will* and *won't* be paying attention to once the hype starts flying in training camps. Today, we'll tackle the teams of the NFC North: Lions, Packers, Vikings and Bears. What happens if J.J. McCarthy isn't ready? Is Josh Jacobs destined to fail in Green Bay? What will it take to get us believing in Caleb Williams and/or D'Andre Swift? What would it mean if the Lions can find a deep threat? We'll discuss all this and much more!

Thursday night's game between the Colts and Broncos was...not good! We'll talk about it, and specifically discuss what the heck you should do with Russell Wilson. We'll also list all the injury situations we'll be watching as we approach Week 5 gameday. And then we'll get the fantasy football trade hot stove warmed up again by listing five players we'd be interested in dealing away if the right offer came along. Guest: Cousin Josh.

In Week 15, the Patriots gave the gift that will keep on giving for years and decades to come: the stupidest play of 2022 and one of the stupidest in NFL history. We'll talk about that, and go over many of the exciting and disappointing players and offenses that defined fantasy quarterfinals weekend: What happened to Jonathan Taylor? Is Zay Jones now a must-start? Are the Buccaneers turning the corner or just doomed? We'll talk through the game film we actually watched, and not just the stat lines anyone can read!

Everybody loves fantasy football sleepers! But in today's ultra-hyped NFL environment, sleepers are pretty tough to come by. Today we'll try and pinpoint some players who've gone through the fantasy hype mill before and not lived up to expectations, but who we believe could finally come through for their believers in 2022. We'll also break down the film of breakout fourth-year WR Hunter Renfrow. Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Fantasy.
