Week 10 was a roller coaster ride, like most weeks in fantasy football, and highlighted some new talent due to injury like Bears' running back Jeremy Langford. This week on the podcast we brought rookie expert Shawn Foss on the show to join us in a discussion on injuries from week 9, player trends going forward and 2015 rookie outlooks going forward. We also drank a few beers and placed a few bets. Looking forward to the rest of the season! Check out our Week 10 rankings when setting your lineups this week.

Week 8 was a rough one, so grab a beer and try not to cry over it while you drop all of the players that are done for the year. This week, we're joined on the podcast by our buddy Mike Mocerino to share some wisdom and bombers. We went over all of the injuries from Week 8, and boy were there a lot of them. We also did our own weekly draft - last week I won, so Dave and I are now 1-1. I'm a bit excited for the stakes we're playing for this week...no pun intended.

Week 7 is in the books and it's time to start winning now if you have plans on making it to the playoffs. We started off by laying out the injuries from last week, including Arian Foster, Josh McCown and Joseph Randle. We went over the waiver pickups that you need this week, and check out Troy's article for a breakdown of all the guys to pick up. We looked at some more trends this week and talked about the ones we looked at a few weeks ago. After reconciling our bets, we placed some new ones, as is tradition. Finally, we checked out a few players under the radar.

Week 7 brings us past the tipping point of the regular fantasy football season for most leagues. Will your team perform well enough to make the playoffs? It all hinges on their performance in the next several weeks. We know who a lot of players are now, but there are some who still remain a mystery. Eddie Lacy? Are you out there, Eddie Lacy? Will Peyton Manning have a resurgence before the end of the year, or will his career end as a below average quarterback with an outstanding defense? Listen to the podcast to hear our takes on these situations and more.

Week 6 already.. geez the season goes by quickly! We visited Scorched Earth Brewery in Algonquin, IL and finished off a growler of their Wet Willie - a wet-hopped pale ale. Delicious! This week reinforced what we already knew about Peyton Manning, showed us the end of Jamaal Charles's 2015 season and continues to shake up what we thought was a pretty consistent group of top RBs and WRs this year. We recommend listening to this week's podcast for more in-depth information about all of the latest news, injuries, team updates and analysis on player trends going forward. As always, good luck out there!

Week 4 has come and gone, and with it a lot of impactful fantasy players. Guys like Andrew Luck, Steve Smith, LeSean McCoy and Marshawn Lynch were all injured, just to name a few. During this time of the year it's important to explore the trends of players that may still be out on the waiver wire and those who are under-performing on your team in order to make some tough decisions leading into the weeks to come. I've seen a lot of fantasy teams crash and burn on dead weight. Don't fall into that trap and just continually hope that your guys will perform up to expectations - sometimes they don't!

Tonight we split an excellent growler of Engrained IPA, straight from the brewery (we visited over the weekend). We started off the show by checking out the best and worst performances of Week 3, and the implications of those going forward. Let's just say it doesn't look good for Colin Kaepernick. We made it to the injuries, though there was only one major one to Ben Roethlisberger. We attended the game, and we swear we had nothing to do with it, or the fire that delayed the game.

We continued with the best waiver pickups for the week, courtesy of Troy. We finished off discussing some of the guys that we like more than most in our Fantasy Pros rankings, as well as some of the guys that we don't like - aka you should stay away from. For more info on all of this, make sure you check out our Week 4 Rankings.

With week 1 in the books, we get a little bit more of an idea how things will play out this fantasy season. We're not done with the bumps and bruises, however, not nearly! Week 2 brings with it quite a few challenges for teams unlucky enough to be hit with injuries to such players as Dez Bryant and Desean Jackson. The important thing at this stage of the season is not to panic, but rather to work the waiver wire and explore possible trades in order to have as much value on your team as possible over the next few weeks while those players are out. We discussed a few of those waiver wire pickups for week 2 and talked about guys that were overachievers or underachievers in Week 1 and whether or not those successes or disappointments would continue going forward.

Remember that the best thing that you can do for yourself as a fantasy team manager is to pay attention to all of the news and stats that come out after each week. The difference between a winning and losing season can easily be one waiver wire pickup that you overlooked because you didn't have time.

Well, it's finally here. I keep saying that but I feel like it's been such a long time since I've seen a real, honest-to-goodness NFL game and Week 1 is just around the corner now. With so many juicy match-ups this week, we have a blast on this podcast just going over all of the games scheduled to air and some of our takeaways from them. Highlighting Under the Radar guys in Week 1 should help some fantasy managers out there be aware of the talent on every NFL team just waiting to bust out. Now that we've identified some of these guys, we'll continue to bring them up on podcasts going forward and will surely recommend some of these guys as pickups in the coming weeks.

Week 3 of the preseason is in the books, and football is so close, I can almost taste it. We got to see most of the starters go deep into the game and got a great look at how a lot of teams will look once the season starts. This week we break down the Wide Receivers heading into the last draft weekend of the year. Listen to this week's podcast below, but while you do, check out our Wide Receiver rankings, as well as the rest of the positions.

We talked about our top ten, undervalued guys like Percy Harvin, Martavis Bryant, Jeremy Maclin, Vincent Jackson and Terrance Williams. Our overvalued list consisted of Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams and Jarvis Landry. Finally, we talked about lots of the young guys, rookies, second and third year receivers.
