11/17/21 • 37 min

Welcome in Slumpbusters! It is time for another episode of the Slumpbuster Fantasy Football Podcast. On this episode we recap the previous week and give you the knowledge you need to dominate in week 11. Four weeks left till the fantasy playoffs, have you punched your ticket?

Quarterbacks: Some surprising names landed in the Top-12 in week 10. Will Trevor Siemian, Cam Newton and Mac Jones all find themselves back in that spot? Jimmy Garoppolo faces an improving Jaguars defense, should you start Jimmy G? Will Dak Prescott have another Top-3 performance facing the Kansas City Chiefs? What about Derek Carr against the Bengals?

Running Back: Aaron Jones suffered an MCL injury in the Packers win over the Seahawks. A.J. Dillon came in and was the number one overall running back in fantasy in week 10 Will Dillon repeat his production with Jones shelved? Jones wasn't the only major injury at the running back position, Cordarrelle Patterson could miss a game with the Falcons on a short week. Is Wayne Gallman Jr. a name that will reward fantasy owners against New England? Is D'Ernest Johnson and Chuba Hubbard droppable with the returns of Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt and Christian McCaffrey? Should Jeff Wilson Jr. be started with Elijah Mitchell suffering a finger injury?

Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs has consistently been ranked as a Top-5 wide receiver throughout the season. Is he deserving of that acclaim given his subpar season? Is Jamal Agnew an underrated surprise coming out of Jacksonville?

Notable players on bye week include Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Melvin Gordon, Javonte Williams, Darrelle Henderson and Odell Beckham Jr.

The Slumpbuster Ep 120: Shanahan & Sark on Hot Seats? Ben Simmons to Boston? & Purdue Strike Again!

Welcome in Slumpbusters! In this episode of the Slumpbuster Podcast, Kyle & Ju-Ju tackle the latest breaking news in the world of the NFL, NBA and College Football.

For the second time in four weeks, the Purdue Boilermakers have upset a team in the College Football Top-5. On October 16, Purdue walked away with a 24-7 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes. This past Saturday they opposed a 8-0 Michigan State Spartans team led by Mel Tucker. Purdue quarterback Aidan O'Connell threw for an amazing 536 yards with three touchdowns to beat Sparty 40-29. This is the first time in College Football history an unranked team has beat two teams in the Top-5 by double digits. Will Ohio State be on upset alert going against the hot Boilermakers? (1:23) #Purdue

Our next segment Ju-Ju laments over the failures of the San Francisco 49ers. Kyle Shanahan is the owner of a 31-39 win-loss record in his time as an NFL head coach. His record has entirely been accrued in his time in San Francisco. Is Shanahan on the coaching hot seat following a 31-17 beat down by the Arizona Cardinals. In that game the Cardinals were missing Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, J.J. Watt and others. Does this speak to a bigger problem with Shanahan, John Lynch and within the 49ers ownership? Ju-Ju explains and talks the future should San Francisco continue to struggle. (5:00) #49ers

The NBA is about a month in and Kyle's second Power Rankings update is on the way. Who will be the biggest riser? Who will be the biggest faller? And we have some developing news with Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers. Could the Boston Celtics be the team most in play to make a trade for Simmons? Can Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown continue as a dynamic 1-2 punch? (27:45) #BenSimmons

The Texas Longhorns have lost their last four games in Steve Sarkisian's first year in Austin. Will Sark still remain the Longhorns head coach in the 2022 season? We also discuss the legend of 'Pole Assassin.' (39:45) #HookEm

Kyle released his most recent NBA Power Rankings earlier this week. We discuss some of the pushback given by Bulls fans regarding their ranking amongst the NBA elite. Are the Bulls underrated? Are we overrating the Los Angeles Lakers who continue to struggle with Lebron James off the court?

This embarrassing loss marks the Longhorns fifth straight in Steve Sarkisian's first season in Austin. Should the Texas Athletic Department considering a short tenue for Sark as they look to get back to national prominence?
