Week 3 Instant Reaction, Scoring Leaders & Waiver Preview
We apologize for no episode last Thursday but Bob is back to provide his instant reaction to the Week 3 games. There were some great performances from QB's that we all saw coming right? The Chiefs continue to be a fantasy goldmine while the Dolphins are the polar opposite. I (Bob) will cover all of the games through the late afternoon games and provide analysis on what I saw go down.
After giving the instant reaction it's time to look at the scoring leaders at each position based on our league of record scoring format. Then, it's never too early to look ahead. I will provide early options for waiver pickups ahead of the first set of byes in Week 4.

Week 1 Real or Fake Performances
We've got a jam packed show to close out all things Week 1.
To get things started we look back to the Sunday & Monday Night games. We had a candidate for game of the year between the Texans and Saints.
From there we go into the important news and injuries. Just when we think everything with AB was finally going to slow down we literally had to stop recording and start from scratch since his news caught us off guard. We also go over all of the injuries to crucial players and the impact.
From there we get into one of our favorite in season segments "Real or Fake". We look back to Week 1 and find really good and really bad performances to determine is this really what this player will perform like or is it just a blip on the radar? We do this for QB, RB, WR and TE's so we will dissect 8 players in total.
We review some listener questions from Twitter and provide feedback to help get ready for Week 2.
To close things up we give a quick Week 2 Thursday Night preview between the Bucs and Panthers to who should be fantasy relevant.
It's a full one so enjoy it!

Week 1 Instant Reaction
Well after that dud on Thursday night things really picked up on Sunday. We are going to give our instant reaction to every game from the Thursday night to late afternoon games in Sunday.

We will also give our best performances and biggest duds before closing things up with a sneak peek into the first true waiver period.
Before we get into the instant reactions you knew us Pittsburghers had to talk about the AB drama. Boy oh boy!

Double Digit Round Delights
We are back after a little Summer vacation and we loaded this show up for you. As an appetizer we are delivering a ton of news on important fantasy players including: Tyreek Hill, Todd Gurley, Dante Pettis, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, and Mike Williams.
For the entree we are delivering up some Double Digit Round Delights. Looking at the Fantasy Football Calculator 2019 .5 PPR ADP, we each choose 3 players that have an ADP of 120 or worse and determine which players could be possible league winning picks in the double digit rounds. It's always great to be aware of those later round gems and we hope to give you the info to make informed selections later in your draft.
As a special bit of news the NOT TAKES team will be represented in the 2019 Scott Fish Bowl. Cheer us on as we go up against some of the industry heavyweights. Can't wait for it! #SFB9

12 Team .5 PPR Mock Draft & ADP Check
Join us as we go through another mock draft on the Sleeper App. This time we are doing a 12 Team .5 PPR Mock Draft with Bob drafting out of the 7 slot while Dan is drafting from the 11 slot. Both guys try some different strategies to see how their teams play out. Feel free to give us your grades/opinions @nottakesff on Twitter and Instagram.
After completing the draft with do a little ADP check and give opinions on which early round picks scare us and which late round picks could be game changers.
To open up the show we go over some RB news on Devonta Freeman, Lev Bell, Zeke Elliott & Chris Carson.
Dan apologizes ahead of time for the dog noises in the background, he is doing some dog sitting and it's a young pup. We still wanted to get a show out this week so on behalf of Dan we both apologize if the noises interfere with your listening enjoyment.

Regression Impressions
In this episode we are talking regressions candidates for the 2019 fantasy season. Don't worry this won't all be negative because we are giving both positive and negative regression candidates. We will cover QB's, RB's and WR's that we think will bounce back and those that could stumble. This is a really good look deeper into numbers that will have an impact on how you draft in the next couple of months.
Before we get into that discussion we talk player news concerning Lev Bell and Run CMC. Seriously, what is going on in New York? Does Adam Gase really know what he is doing or does he like ruffling the feathers of his best offensive skill player?

Who Would You Rather Have?
This is one of our favorite podcasts we've done!
If you have followed us in the past you may know of our episodes where we do "Blind Resumes". Well we are taking that concept and adding a little twist to it. We are splitting things up, Bob takes AFC, Dan takes NFC and each provide stat lines for the 4 key fantasy positions (QB,RB,WR,TE). Then, before we guess who the player is we must decide, based on stats alone who we would take in fantasy this year. After choosing a player we make a guess on who that player is. Then the discussion ensues, based on name value would we change our minds on who we would take? Trust me, there are occasions when this happens making for great discussion! We hope you enjoy and much as we did recording it!
