Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

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.

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!

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 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.
