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. - Follow on Twitter & Instagram @nottakesff - Email: nottakesff@gmail.com - anchor.fm/nottakesff (listen & interact here or find direct links to each podcast platform the show is available on) - Sign up for DRAFT at our affiliate link draft.com/nottakes for a free $3 entry upon initial deposit and come challenge us to some Best Ball! - Find us on Clipcast at clipcast.app

We finish up Week 2 by looking back at the good and the bad in one of our favorite segments “Real or Fake Performances”. We take a look at all 4 fantasy positions and decide are these performances something that will happen moving forward or is this just a blip on the radar. Before that we need to cover the glut of important news and injuries from Week 2. Basically if you were a QB last week you more than likely came out injured. In what are some crushing blows to teams that had Super Bowl aspirations, we take a look on what that means for your fantasy teams. We also recap the Sunday and Monday Night games and discuss the important aspects of each game. To close things up it’s a quick preview of the Thursday Night game for Week 3.

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!

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.  There were some surprising outcomes like the explosion of the rookie WR's, the Ravens explosion and some forgotten players showing their worth.  We will also give our best performances and biggest duds before closing things up with a sneak peek into the first true waiver period.

Can you believe it?  There is actual football being played right now as we record!  With that being said we know regular season football is right around the corner.  When regular season football is right around the corner that means Fantasy Drafts are even closer.  With that thought process in mind we are back doing another mock draft this time of the 12 team .5 PPR variety.  You know we only do our drafts on Sleeper. Before getting all DRAFTY there was a TON of player new to go over...some good and some bad (especially for our dynasty squad).  The player that we cover include (and there are some fantasy giants in there):  - AJ Green - Tyreek Hill - Michael Thomas - DeSean Jackson - Melvin Gordon - Derrick Henry - Zeke Elliott - Andrew Luck  - Mark Andrews 1:04 - 23:10 - Intro & Player News 24.29 - 57:01 - .5 PPR Mock Draft 57:02 - 59:24 - Close - Follow on Twitter & Instagram @nottakesff - Email: nottakesff@gmail.com  - anchor.fm/nottakesff (listen & interact here or find direct links to each podcast platform the show is available on) - Sign up for DRAFT at our affiliate link draft.com/nottakes for a free $3 entry upon initial deposit and come challenge us to some Best Ball! #nottakesff

It's one of our favorite episodes of the year.  We each give our BOLD NOT TAKES for the 2019 season at all the relevant fantasy positions (QB, RB, WR, TE).  They could be positive, they could be negative.  The only way to find out is listen.  We can't wait to share them.  At the end we even share some great listen NOT TAKES for the upcoming year.  Thanks for everyone that shared them on Twitter @nottakesff Before we get that party started we covered a lot of player news from the previous week.  Players discussed include Tyreek Hill, Melvin Gordon, Michael Thomas, Tyler Boyd, Julian Edelman, and LeSean McCoy. Sorry for anyone that hears any audio issues.  Bob is dealing with some internet problems and had to tie into his iPhone Personal Hotspot.  We didn't want to delay the episode but want to be up front.  If there is anything that is bothersome we apologize.  We felt we kept it to a minimum as far as any audio issues, thanks as always for sticking with us.  We just want to provide the best content we can in a timely and consistent manner. 1:04 - 22:08 - Intro & RB News 23.27 - 1:07:01 - BOLD NOT TAKES 1:07:02 - 1:12:35 - Listener NOT TAKES & Close - Follow on Twitter & Instagram @nottakesff - Email: nottakesff@gmail.com  - anchor.fm/nottakesff (listen & interact here or find direct links to each podcast platform the show is available on) - Sign up for DRAFT at our affiliate link draft.com/nottakes for a free $3 entry upon initial deposit and come challenge us to some Best Ball! #nottakesff

The band is back together with another fun episode.  Hope everyone had a great holiday and past couple of weeks since the last show.   In this episode we break down Bob's draft performance in the highly competitive Scott Fish Bowl #SFB9.  We go through the first two rounds pick by pick to show how the different scoring format changed draft strategies.  Then we dive deep into the entire draft that Bob had to see how the team turned out.  After going through Bob's team we also go over some of our other favorites from the Ryu Division.  This league is great and we can't wait to get it started for real. Before the draft breakdown of the draft we go through many important pieces of player news, focused on the RB's.  Zeke and Melvin Gordon holding out?  Derrius Guice injured again?  Phillip Lindsay back healthy?  Derrick Henry going to be heavily featured (fingers crossed)?  How does this impact the upcoming fantasy drafts?  We got you covered! 1:04 - 25:35 - Intro & RB News 25:40 - 1:00:54 - Scott Fish Bowl Draft Recap 1:00:55 - 1:04:37 - Close - Follow on Twitter & Instagram @nottakesff - Email: nottakesff@gmail.com  - anchor.fm/nottakesff (listen & interact here or find direct links to each podcast platform the show is available on) #nottakesff
