Summary

Over 100 players have been moved to their teams' respective COVID lists during the week.

Who knows, some players we expect to play may not end up taking the field. Others, like Seattle's Tyler Lockett, may turn around with some negative COVID tests and suit up unexpectedly. All we can say is: build your roster as late as possible on Sunday and remember: we're all in this together.Stay up to date with the latest fantasy football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooFantasyFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYBFollow Andy @AndyBehrensFollow Dalton @DaltonDelDonFollow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @Scott_PianowskiCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello, it's once again the Saturday DFS special podcast. That means I am Matt Harmon from Yahoo and I'm joined by T.J. Hernandez from 4-4. T.J. I don't even really know where to start this week. Normally, normally I ask you like a,

0:22.7

I, you know,

0:25.4

I normally ask you for like a grand view take.

0:26.2

Yeah.

0:27.2

About the slate,

0:28.8

I feel like there's really nothing,

0:32.0

more grand view to say than this slate is going to get weird.

0:32.8

Yeah,

0:38.7

the grand view is don't start making lineups until about 20 minutes before kickoff on Sunday.

0:39.6

Yeah, seriously.

0:44.0

Take all, like, whenever you listen to this, remember to bring your grains of salt for one.

0:53.0

And then you save all this information, write it in your little notebook, and then try to get to it, you know, like you said, Sunday morning.

three running back build. This might be the first week all season. And I don't have the exact

1:19.1

numbers in front of me, but just intuitively, where we have an overwhelmingly high number of

1:24.9

lineups that use a wide receiver in the flex. So that does set up a unique situation.

1:30.5

Like the flex is one of the easiest ways to be unique if you understand how the week is going

1:35.1

to play out. So I do think we'll see very few three running back lineups. So if you are playing

1:39.9

large field tournaments like the baller, it might be of interest to try to find a way to play

1:44.9

three running backs where that's probably not going to be very popular. I mean, yeah, we'll talk
