Is it too late in the year to play a streaming-level QB? Or are there waiver-wire types to consider over some of this year's biggest studs? There are a number of upside wideouts in consideration, but some have lower floors than others -- or positive recent trends. There are RB decisions to sort through, as well as matchups to exploit at every position. Let's dig in ... Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins ... 1:25 Jacksonville Jaguars at Minnesota Vikings ... 7:22 New Orleans Saints at Atlanta F...

Taysom Hill's just QB now. Does that take him out of lineup contention? We'll be playing plenty of guys from the Chiefs-Buccaneers and Chargers-Bills matchups, but there are attractive plays across positions and salary levels from other games as well.

Should you pay down for Derek Carr or Daniel Jones at QB to fit more at RB and WR? Or is there a backup-turned starter at RB to save the week? We've got options at varying salary levels at receiver, which should help if you want to go the Tyler route and play as much Travis Kelce as possible.

It's Week 12. High-stakes leagues are moving into the postseason. Others are fighting for playoff positions. And we have Thanksgiving condensing the week. But we're here to address some questions at QB and WR, sort out some backfields and find some streaming-level plays for your lineup.

We'll have no Steelers or Ravens on Thanksgiving Day, after the NFL moved that game for COVID concerns. But we'll still have the Texans-Lions and Washington-Dallas. So there are decisions to make at each position and players to fade or ride.

The Saints surprised fantasy players everywhere with news that shouldn't have been a surprise. Taysom Hill will step in for the injured Drew Brees, a move that matches the contract they gave him in the offseason. His TE designation on FanDuel makes it an even bigger move. Hill becomes basically impossible to not use. Even a bad game for him at QB can rank among the top scores at TE. We still have 8 other slots to fill, though, and the $4500 salary leaves extra spending room. (Note: Some techn...

It seemed like a fairly normal week until Taysom Hill busted down the door and changed all our plans. Does the $4500 Saints QB become a "must" play on DraftKings? Does the likely high ownership make him a fade for GPPs? If you don't use him, who can you pivot to? And if you do, where do you spend the suddenly bountiful cap space? Here's the rundown: QB ... 2:36 RB ... 9:07 WR ... 15:26 TE ... 21:22 Flex ... 24:48 Defense ... 25:48 Check out all of Jared's cash-game picks and Tyler's tourney favo...

Can the Cardinals and Seahawks give us the kind of fantasy excitement to kick off this week that they delivered back in Week 7? We have some injury questions to answer before that one starts, as well as some key injury situations to watch at QB around the league. We'll also see whether tougher matchups can knock Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady and their passing games from their perches. And will we finally get more work for Chiefs RBs against the Raiders? Here's the rundown: Arizona Cardinals at Sea...

Should we pay up for a top-shelf QB or target Jared Goff in a shootout? What we can be sure of is that a wealth of RB and WR options give us plenty of lineup-building flexibility.

The pricing on DK this week practically decides who we're playing at RB this week. The salary savings available, though, make it fun to play with the options at WR and QB. And we have a few shootouts that appear to be worth playing with. TE isn't quite so attractive, but that just makes it easier to zero in on some favorites.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey is back. But can we play him in the $9K range in his 1st game back? Dalvin Cook looks like a starting point at RB, and we have another guy in the $6K range who should join him in basic lineup builds. What we spend there figures to impact how many of the $7K WRs we can afford, but there might be some extra spending room available at defense.

Paying down for Jimmy Garoppolo killed us last week. Can we still pay down for a QB this week? Or should we focus on the QBs in the Seahawks-Bills matchup. An expensive week at WR makes it important for us to find values at RB and elsewhere ... and there are options.

George Kittle might be done for the season. That raises several questions ... especially for TE-premium leagues.

Even though the prices jumped vs. last week, this main slate still presents more value options at RB than usual. There are also some attractive pay-down options at QB. So does that make it a week to pay up at WR and TE? And do we have our 1st double-TE week for GPP lineups in a while? Plenty of questions to answer heading into the mean of NFL Week 8.

Just like last week, we're missing a number of starting RBs. Bears WR Allen Robinson (concussion) joins Michael Thomas in leaving targets behind. Those situations will factor into our top plays this week. And some developing weather might change our lineups come Sunday. It's a more challenging slate than we found last week, when big points came from everywhere.

Week 8 finds Michael Thomas, Joe Mixon and Aaron Jones likely still out, plus a number of other situations to monitor. We don't know yet who will line up in either backfield with the 49ers visit the Seahawks. We know that concussions will probably take Allen Robinson and Andy Dalton out of their lineups, impacting the outlooks of several teammates apiece. Throw in some weather questions, and it's a news-packed NFL slate. Here's the rundown: Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers ... 00:32 Indianap...

COVID has made Buccaneers-Raiders and Seahawks-Cardinals switch spots even since we recorded this podcast. That's not the only aspect we'll need to watch through the week, with injuries to some key pass-catchers as well as a top-10 RB. And if you're in need of a QB or TE to stream this week (and perhaps beyond), you might want to listen all the way through this full preview of NFL Week 7.

We don't have the usual expensive, top-shelf studs available at RB this week, so there's room to spend that money elsewhere. We've got high-dollar considerations at WR and TE ... plus a potential stud RB who might less of a sure thing than we're used to at the position. QB decisions start in the $5K range this week, and we've got a minimum-priced pass-catcher who either broke through in Week 5 or is about to fool us big time.

Kyle Allen's promotion in Washington this week gives us a wider-than-normal QB spectrum. How does that position fit with the rest of our lineup building? Getting Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Aaron Jones off the main slate cuts the number of high-priced options at RB, which might leave room elsewhere.
