The 4th & Inches Show with Jana and The Sherpa

Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season was a tough one injury-wise for quarterbacks, and by extension the fantasy football teams that rely on them.  Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, Matthew Stafford, and Nick Foles all suffered injuries of various severities, which will force their fantasy team owners to scour the waiver wire.  On the plus side, several key running backs appear to be nearing a return.  And if your roster contained Buccaneers, Cardinals, or Bills, chances are you had a good week.  Ideally, your team is at least 5-5 through Week 10, but even if you aren't, there's still 3 weeks left in most leagues to make up ground and get yourself into a playoff spot.  Which players will help you win this week?

Now that Week 9 of the 2020 NFL season is complete, all teams have now played at least half their schedule, and things are starting to come into focus.  Teams like the Steelers, Chiefs, and Ravens were expected to be good, and they are.  Teams like the Jets, Giants, Jaguars, and Bengals were expected to be bad, and they are.  But some teams that were expected to be bad have turned out to be pretty good, at least so far (e.g. - Miami, Arizona).  And some teams that were expected to be good have turned out to be pretty bad (e.g. - San Francisco, Minnesota, Dallas, Philadelphia, both LA teams).
Chances are that you also have a pretty good idea by this point in the season which of your fantasy football teams are contenders, and which are already looking forward to next year's draft.  No matter how good your team is (or not) and how many players you've lost to COVID and injuries (or not), there are always opportunities to improve your teams, even if it's just an upgrade to your Bench players.  Which players will help upgrade your roster?

We're now straddling the halfway line of the 2020 NFL season, and we're roughly 2/3 of the way through the fantasy football regular season.  Not only is today Election Day, it's also the NFL's trade deadline.  Which players' situations will improve as the result of being traded, and which players situations will improve as a result of those ahead of them on the depth chart being traded?

With Halloween right around the corner it seemed that NFL Week 7 was full of more tricks than treats for fantasy football team owners.  Andy Dalton was knocked out of the Cowboys' humiliation at the hands of a football team called the Football Team, tanking the value of Dallas' Ezekiel Elliott and the talented wide receiver corps even further.  Odell Beckham Jr was knocked out for the season, Chris Godwin broke his finger, and DeSean Jackson is back on IR after being active for what seemed like ten minutes.  On the plus side, Antonio Brown will soon be coming to fantasy football lineups near you, and Dez Bryant is finally back in the NFL (can Colin Kaepernick be far behind?)

Entering Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season we're now at the point where the combined impact of Covid-19, injuries, and four teams a week on bye are testing even the deepest of fantasy football team rosters.  For those of you fortunate enough to still have your key players both healthy and performing at their expected levels - congratulations!  For the rest of us, the weekly ritual of scouring the waiver wire for suitable replacements often turns from excitement and anticipation during the early weeks of the season to panic and dread at this point.  Fortunately, the "next man up" mentality of the NFL means that there's almost always someone available on the waiver wire who can outperform expectations and keep your team on the road to the playoffs.  That's where we come in!

NFL Week 5 was crazy between the uncertainty whether games would be played, Dak Prescott's injury, and unexpected star turns for Chase Claypool and Travis Fulgham (in the same game no less).  Tuesday Night Football, anyone?  With four good teams having their byes this week (Chargers, Raiders, Saints, Seahawks) many fantasy football team owners will be missing at least one starter from their lineup.  Which waiver wire gems await your bids this week, and which ones will turn out to be the fantasy football equivalent of fool's gold?

Most teams (with the notable exception of the Titans and the Steelers) are now a quarter of the way through their 2020 NFL regular seasons.  Assuming that your league doesn't play in Week 17, we're now at the quarter pole of the fantasy football season, and you probably have a pretty good idea of where things stand with your team.  Are you a contender for a championship, looking for that waiver wire find that will propel you to the playoffs and a championship?  Or are you in desperation mode, dealing with multiple key starters on the real-life IR?

While NFL Week 3 wasn't the injury-fest that Week 2 was, fantasy football team owners still had to deal with a number of upsets and disappointing performances this past week.  Now with the reports of several Tennessee Titans players testing positive for COVID-19, at least two games this coming weekend are threatened (Min @ Hou; Pit @ Ten).  Thankfully, the bye weeks start later this season than in seasons past.  Still, chances are good you'll want to scour the waiver wire and/or have contingency plans in case some of your usual starters find themselves sidelined this week.  Which potential waiver wire pickups can help you weather the storm and keep your team pointed in the right direction?

Week 2 of the 2020 NFL season featured some compelling games and some devastating injuries.  With so many players, including the top two picks in most fantasy football drafts this year, Christian McCaffrey (out 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain) and Saquon Barkley (out for the season with a torn ACL), getting knocked out, chances are your fantasy football team is in need of some reinforcements, if not replacements.  Who should you prioritize as a Week 3 waiver claim, and how well can you expect them to perform going forward?

Whether your team started off the fantasy football season with a convincing Week 1 victory, or your squad performed even worse than the Jets, there's a lot of season left, and plenty of time to improve your roster.  Which Week 1 surprise stars will prove to be fantasy gold, and which will turn out to be fool's gold?
