About this episode
We have entered the midseason point of the fantasy football season and for some of you it is definitely time to panic. It's yet another Tuesday edition of the 'People's Panic Meter' on the pod with Andy Behrens and Matt Harmon. The two react to your entries and provide context, clarity and potential players it's time to hit the panic button on. But before diving into the Panic Meter, Matt and Andy dive deep into a trend that could define the 2023 NFL season: the lack of elite production from the QB position. The two debate if we have a shortage of surefire QBs in the NFL this season and why the young generation of supposed top QBs have not taken the leap this season. The two then end the show by providing the top five waiver wire pickups for Week 8. 1:05 - Andy provides update on Chicago Bears group chat after Bagent win 3:30 - Do we have a QB crisis in 2023? 20:25 - 'Coping Corner' candidates 21:00 - Jaylen Waddle 22:00 - Christian Watson 28:42 - People's Panic Meter 28:54 - Bijan Robinson 33:26 - DK Metcalf 36:45 - Justin Herbert 41:00 - Is my season over at 1-6? 43:25 - Calvin Ridley 51:35 - Devonta Smith 54:00 - Aaron Jones 56:20 - Deshaun Watson 57:45 - Josh Jacobs 59:40 - Top 5 Waiver Wire pickups for Week 8 Subscribe to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv And check out Matt Harmon and Yahoo Fantasy on our socials: 📷 @YahooFantasy: https://www.instagram.com/YahooFantasy ⌚ @YahooFantasy: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofantasy 🐦 @YahooFantasy: https://x.com/YahooFantasy 🟦 @YahooFantasy: https://www.facebook.com/YahooFantasy/
