We're back and Week 9 is upon us. On today's show, we'll preview a weird Thursday night game where a 6-2 team (Texans) is an underdog to a 2-6 team (Jets), by talking about what the heck is going on with Houston. We'll use that as a springboard to get into many more start/sit topics for Week 9, including whether to stick with J.K. Dobbins, C.J. Stroud, Bo Nix and many others. And we'll wrap things up with a fun look at the week in DFS with DraftKings! Guests: Jake Ciely of The Athletic and DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.

We're not gonna lie. The Week 9 waiver wire is...not amazing. But at this time of year, we believe in roster churn, and if you've got some players at the end of your fantasy football bench who aren't doing anything, give 'em the Thursday Boot and try someone else. We'll count down who we like best off Week 9 waivers, plus we'll review the rest of the Week 8 game film to give you an edge as we creep toward the fantasy playoffs!

Fantasy football is frustrating! You do everything right, and then your guy decides to get hurt! We'll discuss injuries to Stefon Diggs, Jordan Love, Brian Thomas, Christian Kirk and others, plus we'll go beyond the box score to break down film and tell you the truth behind the stats. Is Baker Mayfield foolproof? Did Jalen Hurts just ascend back to an elite level? Are Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon and Josh Jacobs unstoppable? We'll talk about tons of the Week 8 action on today's pod! Guest: Chris Raybon of the Action Network.
