Week 12 Preview: Start, Sits, Sleepers, and Busts!

Brady — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 13:00:00 GMT

Send us a text

Get ready for Week 12 as I break down my top starts, sits, sleepers, and busts by position! Whether you're managing a playoff push or just aiming to crush your league-mates, this episode has everything you need to dominate.

Quarterbacks (QB):
For Week 12, Kyler Murray is a top start, thanks to his rushing upside and a favorable matchup. On the other hand, avoid starting Sam Darnold, who has a tough matchup this week. If you need a sleeper, CJ Stroud could outperform projections this week, while Anthony Richardson lands as a bust due to his risky floor and matchup.

Running Backs (RB):
Brian Robinson Jr. is a must-start, especially given his recent involvement and a juicy matchup. Steer clear of Roschon Johnson, whose workload remains uncertain. Looking for a sleeper? Ameer Abdullah could provide sneaky value, but Chuba Hubbard is shaping up to be a bust with a tough matchup/

Wide Receivers (WR):
DK Metcalf tops the starts list, with plenty of opportunity to dominate in Week 12. Avoid Michael Pittman Jr., who has been inconsistent. For sleepers, keep an eye on DeAndre Hopkins and Quentin Johnston, with Noah Brown as a deep sleeper for those in a pinch. Courtland Sutton, however, is likely to disappoint as a bust.

Tight Ends (TE):
Will Dissly makes the starts list this week as a red-zone threat, while Tucker Kraft should be avoided due to lack of production. Dallas Goedert is a sleeper candidate with potential for solid volume, but Dalton Schultz could disappoint and lands as a bust this week.

Flex (FLX):
Marvin Harrison Jr. is a strong flex play and should be in your lineups. Jaylen Waddle, however, might struggle and is better left on the bench. Quentin Johnston and Noah Brown are intriguing sleeper options, while Keenan Allen has bust potential this week.

Kickers (K):
Cameron Dicker is a reliable start for Week 12, while Cairo Santos doesn’t offer enough upside to justify a roster spot. Jason Meyers is a sleeper pick if you’re streaming kickers, but avoid Brandon Aubrey, who could underperform.

Defenses (DST):
The Commanders DST is a great start against a struggling offense, while the Ravens DST might let you down this week. If you need a sleeper, consider rolling with the Dolphins DST, but avoid the Rams DST, who could end up being a bust.

Fantasy Football League Domination: Exploring Formats, Scoring, and Strategies

Brady — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 12:00:00 GMT

Send us a text

Join us in Episode 2 of our fantasy football draft prep as we delve into the exciting world of fantasy football league settings, formats, and scoring systems. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the game, this episode has something for everyone.

We kick off the discussion by exploring the popular league types, including dynasty(1:32), redraft(5:05), keeper(7:29), best ball(9:03), and daily fantasy (DFS)(14:45). Each league type has its unique characteristics, draft strategies, and levels of commitment, catering to different preferences and playing styles. We break down the key features of each league type, explaining how they operate and what makes them exciting.

Next, we turn our attention to two intriguing league formats(11:07): the Guillotine League and the Vampire League. The Guillotine League introduces a thrilling elimination aspect where the lowest-scoring team gets eliminated each week, creating a competitive environment with shifting dynamics. On the other hand, the Vampire League adds an element of strategy and negotiation, with one team designated as the vampire team and granted special powers to build their roster.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of mock drafts to familiarize yourself with different league formats and draft positions. We highlight the benefits of conducting mock drafts, regardless of whether you know your draft position or not, as it allows you to gauge player values and adjust your strategies accordingly.

Tune in to this episode for a comprehensive exploration of fantasy football league settings, formats, and scoring systems. Whether you're seeking advice for draft day or looking to spice up your league with unique formats, we've got you covered. Subscribe to our newsletter on our website and follow us on Instagram https://linktr.ee/basportscards for more valuable insights and weekly optimal lineup picks for DFS.

Week 11 Preview: Start, Sits, Sleepers, and Busts!

Brady — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 13:00:00 GMT

Send us a text

Quarterbacks (QB)

For Week 10, Bo Nix is a strong start given his favorable matchup and ability to capitalize on a defense that has struggled against quarterbacks who can move. Russell Wilson also makes the list as a start this week. Jordan Love is another QB to bench—he’s been inconsistent, and his matchup against a strong defense makes him a risky start. As for sleepers, Jameis Winston offers upside if he plays, as he faces a defense that can be exploited through the air.

Running Backs (RB)

At running back, Kareem Hunt stands out as a top start with a favorable matchup against a defense that has struggled against the run. He’s been involved in the offense more and could be in for a big week. On the other hand, Travis Etienne should be benched this week. He faces a defense that has been stingy against the run and may not find much room to work. Tony Pollard has a tough matchup this week makes him a risky option. For sleepers, Alexander Mattison could see more work this week with the new OC, and Jaylen Warren has been quietly effective in a split backfield. If you’re in deeper leagues, Zamir White could have a sneaky role with potential for increased snaps under Turner as OC. (STASH)

Wide Receivers (WR)

For wide receivers, Cedric Tillman is a must-start. He has thrived against man coverage this season and faces a defense that struggles to defend against deep passes. DeAndre Hopkins, on the other hand, should be benched this week. His matchup isn’t ideal, and with the offense in flux, it’s tough to rely on him for big points. If you’re looking for sleepers, Jameson Williams is a deep threat with the potential to explode in a favorable matchup. He’s been inconsistent but can make big plays, especially if he sees more targets this week IF Laporta is OUT.

Tight Ends (TE)

Tight end can be a bit tricky. For sleepers, Jonnu Smith and Will Dissly are both in situations where they could see increased targets in favorable matchups. They’re not must-starts, but if you’re in need of a streaming option, either could outperform expectations this week.

Kickers (K)

In Week 10, John Parker Romo is a solid sleeper kicker. If you’re looking for a streamer, Romo is in a position to score plenty of points, especially in a game likely to feature a lot of field goal attempts. Cairo Santos, however, is a kicker to avoid—he’s been inconsistent and his matchup isn’t ideal for fantasy success.

Defenses (DST)

When it comes to defenses, Texans DST and Rams DST are worth starting. Both have favorable matchups this week, with opportunities to create turnovers and put up solid fantasy points. Steelers DST also has bust potential—this week’s matchup is tough, and they may struggle to generate fantasy points.

We start with the signal callers! Who should you be starting this week? Kirk Cousins has a favorable matchup against a banged-up Seattle defense, while Drake Maye and Andy Dalton are sleepers who could outperform expectations. On the flip side, Aaron Rodgers faces a tough Steelers defense, making him a risky start.

Running Backs:
Next, we dive into the running back position. Brian Robinson Jr. is poised for a big week against one of the worst run defenses in the league—the Panthers. But be cautious with Ray Davis, facing a Titans defense that’s been stifling opposing running backs. Tyler Goodson could be a sneaky sleeper if Taylor sits again, with Miami's run defense giving up plenty of fantasy points.

Wide Receivers:
In the wide receiver section, Diontae Johnson stands out with a heavy target share and a juicy matchup against the Commanders. Meanwhile, Calvin Ridley could be in for another tough week with Will Levis struggling under center. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jameson Williams are sleeper picks who could capitalize on their matchups—especially if the volume increases.

Tight Ends:
When it comes to tight ends, Evan Engram and Kyle Pitts have promising matchups and should be in your lineup. Engram has been on fire, and the Patriots have struggled against the position. But Tyler Conklin could get lost in the shuffle with the Jets' new weapons, making him a potential sit this week. Watch out for Dalton Kincaid, too—the Titans are tough on tight ends, so be careful here.

Defense/Special Teams (DST):
On the defensive side, Bills DST is a must-start with rookie QB Will Levis likely to struggle. Rams DST is also a sneaky play coming off a bye with a favorable matchup against a struggling Raiders offense. Avoid Texans DST, as injuries have them facing one of the league's best offenses in Week 7.

Kickers:
Finally, we touch on kickers. While not covered in detail, we give quick thoughts on which kickers are set to capitalize on high-scoring games or favorable weather conditions.

Week 6 Preview: Start, Sits, Sleepers, and Busts!

Brady — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 12:00:00 GMT

Send us a text

We’re kicking off Week 6 with a recap of Thursday Night Football between the 49ers and Seahawks—an exciting game that had some key takeaways for your fantasy lineup. Then, we dive straight into this week’s must-starts, must-sits, sleepers, and busts across every position. (0:00-6:20)

Quarterback Preview (6:20-14:36)

This week, Kirk Cousins and Caleb Williams are both in prime spots to put up huge fantasy points against defenses that have struggled to stop the pass. Meanwhile, Bo Nix faces a tough Chargers secondary, and Justin Herbert might be a risky start given his matchup and injury concerns. We’ll discuss which QBs to roll with and who to avoid.

Running Back Preview (14:36-19:26)

With injuries shaking up the backfields, Chase Brown could have a solid RB2 performance, especially if Zack Moss continues to deal with injuries. We’ll also dive into Tank Bigsby, who could become a must-start if Travis Etienne is sidelined, while Rico Dowdle and Rachaad White face tougher matchups that make them risky starts.

Wide Receiver Preview (19:26-26:59)

In the wide receiver department, DJ Moore is a must-start against a defense that's allowed the most fantasy points to WRs, while Terry McLaurin should see plenty of action in a game with big potential. Amari Cooper and Christian Kirk, however, might be better left on your bench given their tough matchups and recent struggles.

Tight End Preview (26:59-31:03)

Tight ends are always unpredictable, but Brock Bowers looks like a solid option with his red-zone potential, and Jake Ferguson continues to build chemistry with Dak Prescott in what should be a high-scoring game. Mark Andrews might be a tough call this week, and Dalton Kincaid faces a tough Jets defense that will focus on shutting him down.

Kicker and Defense/Special Teams Preview (31:03-38:15)

When it comes to kickers, Chris Boswell has an ideal setup for a productive week against a struggling Vegas team in a controlled environment. Cairos Santos is another kicker worth considering with a sneaky good matchup in London.

Look for Eagles DST to capitalize on a banged-up Deshaun Watson and a Browns offense that’s struggled under pressure. Meanwhile, Falcons DST is in a great position to shut down Andy Dalton and the Panthers, who have been turnover-prone.

Week 5 is here, and with four teams on bye, it’s time to fine-tune your fantasy lineups. In this episode, we break down the best starts, sits, sleepers, and busts for each position to help you make the right calls. We’ll touch on key players like Brock Purdy, Javonte Williams, and Jordan Whittington to watch for this week. Let’s dive in!

Thursday Night Football Recap: (00:00-06:27)

Quarterback (QB): (06:27-13:22)

We discuss quarterbacks like Brock Purdy, who has been solid against Arizona and could continue his success at home, and Patrick Mahomes, who faces a tough matchup with the Saints.

Running Back (RB): (13:22-20:19)

Running backs like Javonte Williams are trending up, with a solid matchup against the Raiders, while Zamir White may struggle to break out this week against a tough Broncos defense.

Wide Receiver (WR): (20:19-28:26)

Brian Thomas Jr. could exploit the Colts’ zone coverage, and Jordan Whittington has been seeing solid target volume and could thrive against Green Bay. Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill may have a tough week without Tua, and Tank Dell’s value is uncertain coming off an injury.

Tight End (TE): (28:26-32:01)

Tucker Kraft is emerging as a reliable target in Green Bay’s offense, while Mark Andrews has had a rough start to the season and could face another tough matchup against the Steelers.

Defense/Special Teams (DST) and Kicker: (32:01-37:48)

The Vikings DST looks solid after a strong start to the season, while the Texans DST could struggle against Buffalo’s high-powered offense.

We also dive into potential sleepers like Caleb Williams at QB and Khalil Shakir at WR, and we take a closer look at some bust candidates like Jakobi Meyers in a tough spot. Tune in for all the fantasy advice you need to prepare for Week 5!

It’s Week 10, and the fantasy football season is hitting its stride! In this episode, we’re going position by position to get you ready for another big weekend. Whether you're looking for the best starts, players to avoid, or potential sleepers to stash for a breakout, we've got you covered.

Quarterbacks
We start with the quarterbacks, where Matthew Stafford and Brock Purdy are primed for big performances. Stafford's poised for a big game, while Purdy's been quietly consistent in the 49ers' high-powered offense and getting his weapons bacl. But be cautious with Bo Nix this week—he's a top sit on our list. Also, keep an eye on Daniel Jones, our sleeper QB, who could surprise you with a solid outing.

Running Backs
At running back, Tyrone Tracy is a must-start, especially with his favorable matchup. But it's not all about the good—Travis Etienne faces a tough defense this week, making him a sit. We also highlight Ray Davis and Isaac Guerrendo as deep sleeper picks, with Guerrendo being a stash candidate for those in need of a potential upside play down the line.

Wide Receivers
At wide receiver, we’re loving DeVonta Smith, who should continue his stellar season. But don’t expect big things from Calvin Ridley this week—he’s a sit for us. Darnell Mooney is a sneaky sleeper, especially with the Falcons’ passing game showing flashes of life.

Tight Ends
When it comes to tight ends, Dalton Kincaid is the standout start. He has been building momentum and saw an uptick in targets last week. As for Zach Ertz, his decline in usage this season makes him a sit for Week 10. Keep an eye on Taysom Hill, who could surprise as a sleeper option with his versatility.

Flex
In the flex spot, you can’t go wrong with Brian Thomas Jr., Josh Downs, and Tank Dell—all are in prime positions to shine. But be cautious with Xavier Worthy, who makes our sit list for the week.

Kickers
In the kicker department, Jake Elliott is a solid play for Week 10, while Cam Little is someone you might want to avoid this week.

Defense/Special Teams
Rounding out the show with defenses, the Chargers DST is looking like a top option, while Cowboys DST and Texans DST are on our sit list. You’ll also want to stash the Giants DST as a sleeper pick for the week in Germany.

Fantasy TE, K, DST Preview: Analyzing Tight Ends

Brady — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 12:00:00 GMT

Send us a text

Brady breaks down his meticulously curated Top 12 Tight Ends list, evaluating each player's age, ADP, and past performance. Then he delves into the breakout candidates, spotlighting Greg Dulcich's potential to rise in the ranks, while considering factors like his usage in different personnel formations. The influence of coaching history, as demonstrated by Sean Payton's success with tight ends, adds an intriguing layer to his analysis.

The episode explores the dynamics of pairing a rookie sensation with a seasoned player like Muth, Higbee, or Schultz to achieve a balance between a solid floor and explosive potential.

As the episode unfolds, the conversation shifts to potential breakout stars like Pat Freiermuth and Cole Kmet. Brady dissects Freiermuth's potential to shine in a more versatile role and discuss how Kmet might improve with the presence of DJ Moore on the field. The statistical nuances, including ADOT (Average Depth of Target), come into play, offering a unique perspective on player performance.

The discussion doesn't stop at breakouts; Brady also delves into potential busts. He assesses the viability of David Njoku's upside compared to other late-round choices, and he questions whether Chig Okonwo can overcome a crowded depth chart to secure meaningful targets.

The episode takes a turn toward sleepers, focusing on rookie tight ends like Sam Laporta, Dalton Kincaid, and Luke Musgrave. With a change of topic, the conversation shifts to kickers and defenses.

Brady — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:00:00 GMT

Send us a text

In this episode, we dive deep into the top starts, sits, sleepers, and busts for Week 9 of the fantasy football season.

Quarterbacks
We’re highlighting Matthew Stafford as a top start after a strong performance last week. With key offensive players returning, he’s set to capitalize against a Seattle defense that has struggled against QBs. Conversely, Tua Tagovailoa is on the sit list, facing a tough Bills defense that has stifled his production in previous matchups.

Running Backs
Look for D’Andre Swift to shine against Arizona, which has allowed several running backs to thrive this season. On the flip side, Tank Bigsby is a candidate to bench, as the Eagles’ run defense has proven to be formidable post-bye.

Wide Receivers
We’re excited about Devonta Smith and Chris Olave in favorable matchups that could lead to big fantasy points. Meanwhile, Jordan Addison is a sit due to limited targets with Hockenson returning to the lineup.

Tight Ends
David Njoku has been a target magnet and is poised for success against the Chargers, while Hunter Henry faces a daunting Titans defense that limits tight end production, making him a risky play this week.

Kickers and Defense/Special Teams
Will Reichard is a solid kicker choice with consistent scoring potential, whereas Saints DST looks to capitalize against a struggling Panthers offense. On the contrary, Jason Sanders and Packers DST face tough matchups that may hinder their fantasy outputs.
