Fantasy Football Show Podcast Week 3: Waiver pickups, sleepers, start 'em/sit 'em advice image

Things get heated during our Week 3 Fantasy Football Show podcast (available on iTunes, SoundCloud, and YouTube), and it's all Matthew Stafford's fault. Should he really be that polarizing? Of course not, but sometimes you just need to argue, so why not do it about something as silly as fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em decisions?

It's not just Stafford who causes d-r-a-m-a. There are also scorching hot takes on Jameis Winston, Devonta Freeman, Emmanuel Sanders, and Daniel Jones -- you know, the guys who really matter in fantasy leagues. You can see the full list of players discussed below, and even that leaves out half of the random asides where we get sidetracked by something shiny. 

WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

If you're still wondering whether you should listen, you'll want to hear one of the SN Fantasy experts throw out this medical diagnosis: "[Drew Brees] could be out less [than six weeks] because he has smaller bones because he's short, so maybe he heals faster." 

WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
