    This podcast got a lot better with Erik taking the helm. Guests are good too. Don’t let Rob (or whatever his name is) co-host. Also, please recap drafts for audio listeners

    This podcast got a lot better with Erik taking the helm. Guests are good too. Previous co-host was really holding this show back.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Everything You Need To Know About Week 6 For Fantasy Football
Q: Would you play Chig Okonkwo or Dylan Sampson over Jakobi Meyers because of the Houston matchup?
They prefer Chig Okonkwo over Jakobi Meyers and would also choose Dylan Sampson if he is cleared to play, while noting uncertainty about Sampson's availability.
Everything You Need To Know About Week 6 For Fantasy Football
Q: Would you trade Nico Collins and Javonte Williams for Alvin Gordon and Amon-Ra St. Brown in full PPR?
Both hosts prefer keeping Nico Collins and Javonte Williams, arguing that reliable running backs are scarce and the value gap between Javonte Williams and Alvin Gordon outweighs the receiver upgrade.
ZERO RB SMASH IN WEEK 5 (BAG CHECK, GIBBS, WR DEAD ZONE?)
Q: Do you think Montgomery is bad or is this a bad scheme fit?
Beimfohr says David Montgomery is not a bad player, but his age, limited ability to overcome a poor situation, Houston's struggling run offense and offensive line make him a difficult fantasy bet.
ZERO RB SMASH IN WEEK 5 (BAG CHECK, GIBBS, WR DEAD ZONE?)
Q: How do you feel about Jeanty the rest of the season?
Beimfohr expects Ashton Jeanty to remain a back-end RB1 because his workload and receiving involvement give him a strong floor, though his ankle and the Raiders' offensive ceiling limit his upside.
WEEK 6 RANKINGS: Where the Consensus is WRONG
Q: Any hope for Lad McConkey?
Erik sees some potential because McConkey has performed adequately when healthy, but he is concerned about his health, the Chargers' poor offense, and their difficult upcoming matchups.
