Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Last week was a bloodbath out there for fantasy teams, with injuries to superstars like Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey topping the list of those players that will be out for anywhere from a few weeks to the rest of the 2020 NFL season.

Obviously most team managers rushed out to the waiver wire or tried to make trades for talent to fill in where possible - but what are the right moves to keep you on a championship trajectory? Your hosts Jason and Dave will discuss which way the arrow is pointing for many of these players, along with those that had surprising/disappointing performances in Week 2.

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). 

Pay attention to these rankings throughout the season, as they will continue to evolve based on the latest injury updates, news, and player analysis. Have any specific lineup questions? Feel free to tweet us @drinkfive with any of your questions or comments!

Jason & Dave, the hosts of the Fantasy Finish Line Podcast, look forward to Week 2's matchups and touch on 5 Fantasy Fool's Gold players who may be shiny but won't provide your team with enough upside going forward to warrant a roster spot.

So when the dust clears from Week 1 of the fantasy football season (Tuesday morning, bright & early), we're left to clear out the injured & usurped players and find some order in the chaos of early season decisions. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind here is that it will still take some time for offenses to gel this year and so player performances may be more variable than usual. You may want to wait a few weeks before dumping someone just because he had a disappointing amount of targets in the opener.

Guys that jump out to me this week to overperform expectations: Phillip Rivers, David Montgomery, Parris Campbell, Jimmy Graham, and Arizona Cardinals (DST).
