The 4th & Inches Show with Jana and The Sherpa

NFL Week 14 represents the final week of the regular season for most fantasy football leagues.  Unfortunately, 4 teams (Ind, Mia, NE, Phi) have byes this week, which means that some fairly significant players will be sidelined (Jonathan Taylor, anyone?).  So keeping up with injuries and who's available on the waiver wire is even more important this week than usual.  Where can you turn for advice on which players can help with your playoff push?

With Week 13 of the NFL season upon us, most fantasy football leagues have at most a week or two left in their regular season.  Whether you're trying to lock up a top seed and first-round playoff bye, or you're on the bubble in need of another win or two to get in, or you're playing the role of spoiler, there are always injuries (Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook) and role changes (Alexander Mattison, Taysom Hill) to keep up with.  Where can you go to make sure your roster is in as good a shape as possible as we head down the home stretch?

Fantasy football week-to-week results are fickle by nature - just ask the person in your league who started D.K. Metcalf or Aaron Jones last week.  Even if you're 8-2 or better at this point and your biggest concern presently is whether you'll snag a first-round bye in your league's playoffs, there's always room for improvement, and always a need to have viable backup options for all your key starters (Kickers and Defenses excepted, which are almost always eminently streamable).  Which widely-available players have the most upside for the rest of the season as we head into the homestretch of the fantasy football regular season?

So we're at the halfway point of the NFL season and roughly 2/3 of the way through the fantasy football regular season - how are your teams doing?  Last Sunday was a strange one, not so much from an injury standpoint, but more from the standpoint of usually reliable performers having down weeks.  Couple that with a number of fantasy stalwarts having bye weeks, and fantasy matchup results were even more variable than usual.
How can you minimize the variance going forward?  Or should you even be trying to do that - are you better off just embracing high-variance players and hoping for the best week to week?  Tune in tonight at 7pm Eastern (or download after the fact and listen with your favorite podcast app) for the 4th and Inches Show with Jana & The Sherpa - now in our 12th season together, let us guide you to victory!

So, how did Week 8 of the NFL season go for you and your fantasy football teams?  With only 2 teams having their bye week, it seemed like most fantasy teams should be at or near full strength.  However, after injuries to Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, Jameis Winston, and a stupid off-field decision by Henry Ruggs III, many fantasy teams suddenly have holes (short-term and long-term) that didn't exist a week ago.  On the other hand, new "stars" like Mike White are always springing up and are likely available on a waiver wire near you (I'm guessing none of you had him on your teams last week, much less started him, unless (1) you're in a really deep dynasty league, (2) you're the most ardent of Jets fans, or (3) you're in a 2QB league, and your QBs were Lamar Jackson and Derek Carr (both of whom had byes last week).

So, how did your fantasy football teams survive Bye-mageddon?  More importantly, where are you in the standings at the halfway point of the fantasy regular season?  Whether you're firmly ensconced in first place, on the bubble, or already wondering about next year's draft, there's still a lot to play for, and a lot of time left to make up ground in the standings.  The waiver wire is a constant source of new players for your roster, but are there any trades that could make a meaningful difference for your roster and be the difference between qualifying for your league's playoffs and waiting til next year?

With the NFL's move to a 17-week regular season this year, most fantasy football leagues will hit the halfway mark of their regular season after this week's games.  Coincidentally, we're also heading into "Bye-a-geddon", as 6 teams will have the weekend off.  Combine that with the injuries most fantasy team owners are already dealing with, and it's easy to see why this is the most challenging part of the season for many teams.
What trades should you be seeking?  Are there any impact players left on the waiver wire who could upgrade your team?  Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern (or download after the fact and listen with your favorite podcast app) for the 4th and Inches Show with Jana & The Sherpa!  Now in our 12th season together, let us guide you to victory!

NFL Week 5 brought fantasy football team owners lots of high-scoring games, a handful of significant injuries, and a bushel of players who are probably on your league's waiver wire outperforming expectations.  Between injuries to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, George Kittle, Saquon Barkley, Logan Thomas, etc., and the start of the always-popular bye weeks, most owners likely have some holes to fill and roster decisions to make this week.  Who should you target as your injured/bye week players' replacements?

You know we're starting to get into the middle portion of the NFL season when we starting having early Sunday morning games from London, and we have to start checking whether any of the players on our fantasy football teams have a bye this week (fear not - bye weeks won't be with us until next week!)
How do you ensure that your roster has enough depth to withstand the inevitable player absences due to bye weeks, and the almost as inevitable player absences due to injuries?  Which players on the fringes of your roster can be safely dropped, and which ones are showing signs of life that point to bigger and better weeks ahead?
