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!

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!

We also broke down a bunch of interesting guys from our Week 8 fantasy football ranks to help you decide how to replace your injured studs. Who are the leading candidates to replace Brandon Aiyuk, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin? Should you be willing to start Tua Tagovailoa right away? How about Jonathan Taylor? Is Alvin Kamara someone you should be shying away from? We'll talk about those guys and many more, plus we'll do a wonderful snarkbag! Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo! Fantasy.

Disaster struck Chris Godwin in Tampa on Monday night, as he was lost for the season on a meaningless play at the end of a blowout. We'll talk about that and also Marvin Harrison's lack of usage from the two prime-time games, plus we'll focus on the remainder of the Week 7 game film to go beyond the box score and make your fantasy football team better. Then we'll begin our Week 8 process by discussing the adds and drops you can consider, with a special emphasis on wideouts considering the injuries to Godwin, Mike Evans, Brandon Aiyuk and more.
