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!
