Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Boom! The NFL trade deadline always brings with it tons of changes and this season has been no different: Golden Tate to the Eagles and Demaryius Thomas to the Texans are two recent developments that will have far-reaching consequences in fantasy football. Courtland Sutton will now get more targets in Denver along with Emmanuel Sanders, Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay will both benefit from Tate's transfer to Philadelphia, and Nelson Agholor will likely exit stage left from fantasy relevance most weeks going forward. Pay attention to these rankings throughout the week, as they will continue to evolve based on the latest injury updates, news, and player/matchup analysis. Good luck in Week 9 and remember, you can tweet us @drinkfive with any of your lineup questions!

Here we go! For many leagues, this is the last week of the regular season. Make it or break it time! This week, there are a few newcomers to the rankings, and some guys that I expect to perform at a higher level than other fantasy football experts are: Philip Rivers, Tarik Cohen, Kenny Golladay, and Allen Robinson. Pay attention to these rankings throughout the week, as they will continue to evolve based on the latest injury updates, news, and player/matchup analysis. Good luck in Week 13 and remember, you can tweet us @drinkfive with any of your lineup questions!

The semifinals are here, congratulations to all of you that have made it past the first week of the playoffs and are looking towards this week's matchups as well as players to stow away for starts in the championship if you make it! Players to look for good performances in Week 15 include: Andrew Luck, Damien Williams, Kenny Golladay, and Adam Humphries. Pay attention to these rankings throughout the week, as they will continue to evolve based on the latest injury updates, news, and player/matchup analysis. Good luck in Week 15 and remember, you can tweet us @drinkfive with any of your lineup questions!

One more week in the books and we had some predictable outcomes - most notably on Monday Night Football with the Chiefs just tearing it up offensively. Hello, Patrick Mahomes! A few rookie wide receiver breakouts (here's looking at you, Justin Jefferson), and injuries are important to keep in mind as we go through another cycle of waiver wire pickups and lineups being set for Week 4. Listen to the Fantasy Finish Line podcast to stay on top of the latest news and analysis - we broadcast live on YouTube (just starting this week, actually!) weekly on Wednesdays at 9pm CT.

Guys that jump out to me this week to overperform expectations: Drew Brees, Joe Mixon, Kenny Golladay, Julian Edelman, Tyler Eifert, and New Orleans (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!
