Summary
We've got a recap of Seahawks-Steelers, focusing mostly on the dud WRs. How much do we trust Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Chase Claypool going forward? And we'll update you on the latest news and discuss the best RBs to add off the waiver wire (8:40) ... Are Chuba Hubbard and Josh Jacobs trustworthy or do you cringe when you put them in your lineups (16:50)? What will Michael Thomas do when he returns (23:00)? Is he a Top 12 WR? Top 24? ... Let's take a look at the QB position and compare it to 2020 (27:30). You might be surprised at how the 2021 QBs have done. Also, we give you a bunch of second-half breakout candidates (33:00) and predict what the Bears backfield will look like in Week 7 and beyond (39:00) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
