Summary
Week 7 has some gnarly bye-week problems, so figuring out your fantasy football lineup figures to be particularly stressful. We'll dig into the Week 7 ranks and hopefully find some solutions, as well as some players we're staying away from. We'll also talk about the trend toward "Expected Yards" analytics, and how your intrepid host being wrong about how they're calculated doesn't invalidate his stance on the problem with over-relying on them. Guest: Dave Kluge of Football Guys.

| 0:06.1 | It's the Harris Football Podcast, brought to you by Draft Kings, America's top-rated |
| 0:11.9 | Daily Fantasy app with your host, Christopher Harris. |
| 0:16.7 | Welcome! |
| 0:18.9 | Hey, everybody, welcome in. My name is Chris, and I say things into this weird metal stick. Hello, thank you, you children of the possum. How the heck are you? Thank you for listening to the show. Today, we are preparing our week seven stuff. |
| 0:39.7 | We did waivers for you on Tuesday. |
| 0:42.2 | We're going to talk largely about the status of some week seven players in our ranks |
| 0:48.4 | and help you figure out your lineups for week seven. |
| 0:51.3 | But before we get to that, let's rewind about like five days or so and revisit |
| 0:57.7 | a very certain sounding lecture that I gave on the show in which I talked about a certain |
| 1:04.8 | kind of next-gen stat in the NFL that centers around expected yards. |
| 1:12.4 | And with all the confidence of a blustering media member, |
| 1:18.4 | I described what I believed to be the process of how expected yard numbers are calculated. |
| 1:24.4 | And as several listeners pointed out, I was wrong. |
| 1:28.2 | And I actually want to particularly highlight the folks who emailed and tweeted about this, probably five or six of you. |
| 1:36.4 | It proves to me, once again, what a very cool audience this show has. |
| 1:41.1 | What a rare place we've all made where it's still virtual and we don't really |
| 1:45.9 | all know each other like super personally or whatever, but not a single one of you people |
| 1:51.7 | were like, bleh, you know, you don't know what you're talking about, idiot. Every single one of you, |
| 1:56.8 | I'm being sincere here, was just kind and helpful and pointed me to a couple of resources |
| 2:03.3 | that could get my head out of my patootie. |
