About this episode
We're talking daily fantasy for Week 2 and we have Josh Shepardson (@BChad50) aboard to preview the weekend for DFS. We begin by discussing players that could falter despite being over-hyped by the fantasy community (2:47) before moving on to whether you should pay up for top quarterbacks like Cam Newton and Drew Brees (5:53), if Eli Manning or Matthew Stafford is the best middle-tier play at their position (9:40), and which of the low priced signal callers are most intriguing (12:00). We move on to examine running backs, beginning with players we think could finish with the most points at their position (13:06), our favorite value plays at running back (15:24), which running backs are worth a look in games with PPR scoring (17:23), and tailbacks we think can make for a sneaky under-owned play (21:32). We begin our wide receiver discussion by pondering if it's better to pay up for the top receivers this week or spend money elsewhere (25:15), and continue with who we like if you decide to save some money at the position (29:22), lottery ticket plays that could pay dividends (32:38), and reliable middle-tier players worth sliding in to your cash game lineup (36:41). Moving on to tight ends, we discuss our top plays (38:43), and which cheaper options could end up having huge games (40:35). We finish by discussing our top player stacks for Week 2 (42:42) and which defenses we're plugging in to our DFS lineups (46:38). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
