Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

You saw it out there - it was a massacre. Weeks like this happen from time to time during an NFL season, but the sheer number of injuries to prominent fantasy players in one week was enough to make team manager cry. And I'm betting quite a few people out there that had guys like Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey drowned their fantasy football sorrows with a few glasses of whiskey. Regardless, the show must go on and I'm here to provide a guide to those players that you may want to get on your active roster in a hurry. Here's hoping that week 3 doesn't put even more people on the injured reserve!

Guys that jump out to me this week to overperform expectations: Matt Ryan, Michael Gallup, A.J. Green, Chris Herndon, Dalton Schultz, and the Arizona Cardinals (DST).

Week 4 was certainly a bumpy ride as one game was postponed and another was nearly canceled as well. But we got through it! Here's the tough part of the season as all of the injuries and player issues pile up - depth at the important positions of running back and wide receiver.

Week 5 is in the books, and we hope your fantasy teams had a great outcome! There were the usual groupings of injuries (Dak Prescott), disappointments (Devin Singletary), and surprises (Chase Claypool), but there is always some secret sauce (spoiler alert: it's almost always thousand island) if you pay attention to the ebb & flow of each week and read in between the lines.
