NFL Week 17: Bortles Service to End the Season, All the Packers, and Finding Value in Bad Games
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 17 Sunday slate -- the last of the regular season. The guys discuss which games come with playoff implications, and where to find value plays in the games that don't. Shae's bold prediction is the insufferable Bortles/Robinson stack, while Ben banks on the idea of a roster containing all the Kansas City guys. Is David Johnson still a favorite? Can we even avoid paying up for tight end this week? Is Alex Smith your mediocre savior. Here's to closing out the season with a bang (and hopefully a buck, too).

NFL Week 16: Jordan Howard, Michael Thomas, and an Allen Robinson Hail Mary
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 16 Christmas Eve Saturday daily fantasy slate, including the way Jordan Howard could disrespect the Redskins, how riding TY Hilton for a second consecutive week is a good idea, and why a late-season hail mary for Allen Robinson is an okay move. Ben gets weird with a theory of rostering three different players from a single game, while Shae allows his season-long fantasy roster to (possibly) influence how much he loves guys like Julio Jones and Ty Montgomery around the holidays. It's the home stretch of the NFL season and we're all lookin' to make some cash! Have a listen, give the gift of subscribing to the show.

NFL Week 15: Expensive Backfields, Valuable Receivers, And Any Quarterback You'd Like
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 15 Sunday daily fantasy slate, including why almost any quarterback is a viable option so long as their name doesn't start with Brock. The guys also talk about the possibility of paying up for one backfield spot and offsetting the cost by way of a cheap RB2. And with the receiver position being a tough nut to crack, the slightly decent podcasting duo tries to pluck value where they can. Shae is sure to include his gut-hunch on TY Hilton, while Ben continues to ride the Gravy Gresham train. It's the home stretch of the regular season and things are looking both fun and dismal, depending on who you ask.

NFL Week 14: Tons of QB Options to Go With Positive Pay-Ups in a Sunday Shootout
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss the NFL Week 14 Sunday slate, which has tons of games and even more viable options at quarterback. The guys continue to ride the David Johnson machine for the umpeenth week in a row, Shae gushes over a certain NFC East quarterback, and Ben may have found a new favorite tight end target in Pittsburgh. There's also a brief mention of how sad the situation is for guys like DeAndre Hopkins and Allen Robinson, but it's nowhere near as angering as Jeff Fisher's miraculous ability to hold a job despite being very bad at it. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

NFL Week 13: TyGOD Taylor, Teaming DJ with Theo, and a Jermaine Gresham Sighting
After taking last week off for the Thanksgiving holiday, Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) get back to discussing the NFL Week 13 daily fantasy Sunday slate. Their love for David Johnson doesn't fade this week, nor does their odd fascination with Theo Riddick (who's apparently a friend of the show). Ben offers to get weird with Jermaine Gresham -- while simultaneously reminding everyone that Jermaine Gresham is still around -- and Shae heavily flirts with the idea of rolling with TyGOD Taylor this week as a top bargain option at quarterback. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

NFL Week 11: Complementing Chalk, In the Trap with Kaep, and David the Machine
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) talk over the NFL Sunday Week 11 DFS slate as they attempt to rebound following a disappointing Week 10. Ben (possibly) takes a leap off the deep end by way of his love for Colin Kaepernick this week, while Shae is once again deciding to die on the hill of Kirk Cousins. The men continue their positive rants for Ben's secret lover (spoiler: it's David Johnson) and how finding a good balance between studs and chalk this week is the key to Sunday success. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts.

NFL Week 10: Chalky Running Backs, Skimping on Passers, and Mid-Level Receivers
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) talk over the NFL Sunday Week 10 DFS slate while also preparing for Ben to enter his $5 MILLION tournament. The guys stick with a basic strategy of building off a chalky backfield with cheap passers and mid-level wide receivers. Is there any possible way to fade Jay Ajayi? Are we allowed to even consider Case Keenum? How much of a steal is Jordan Matthews. It's all inside.

NFL Week 9: Getting Weird with Lance Kendricks, More Cheap Quarterbacks, and Paying Up
Shae (@ShaeCronin) flies solo this week to breakdown the NFL Week 9 daily fantasy slate while Ben (@BStrumpf10) is out in Vegas passed out in a ditch four blocks off the strip. As he mows through the slate as quickly as possible, Shae throws out some love for Lance Kendricks, gets a little creative with quarterback options like Sam Bradford and Marcus Mariota, and doesn't forget to talk about what top-tier guys are worth paying up for. This episode is lonely and disgusting. You're gonna love it.

NFL Week 8: Continuing Crushes, Cheap Tight Ends, and Jameis
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss their continued love of guys like David Johnson and Mike Evans as they prepare to tackle Sunday's Week 8 NFL DFS slate. Ben also throws out a couple cheap tight end names to keep in mind come roster-building time, and Shae is back talking trendy slot receivers like Julian Edelman, Randall Cobb, and T.Y. Hilton. The guys also collectively decide that this week marks the second in a row where there's an option at quarterback that's too good to be true. All hail, Jameis. Remember to look for us on iTunes, Stitcher, PocketCasts, or wherever else you may get your podcasts. We encourage you to support the show by leaving reviews and subscribing.

NFL Week 7: Sinkin' or Swimmin' with Kirk, the Upside of Mike Evans, Halloween Candy, and Low Cost RB Options
Shae (@ShaeCronin) and Ben (@BStrumpf10) discuss their dying love for Kirk Cousins for NFL Week 7 and how picking the correct pieces of the Washington and New Orleans wide receiver corps could lead to big gains. Ben tries to talk Shae off of James White despite his juicy matchup, but does so with some sort of strategy to back it up. Meanwhile, Shae predicts at least 16 targets for Mike Evans and the guys get giddy about all the money you can save with this week's slate. Later in the episode, Shae and Ben answer questions including top bargain running backs, favorite QB/WR stacks, the best Halloween candy, and why the pumpkin spice craze isn't actually the worst thing ever. You can find the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, SoundCloud, and by visiting FriedRosters.com.
