Slumpbuster FFB Ep. 40: Impact of Russell Wilson's Injury, Bye Weeks Return & Guys Hurting Your Team

Oct 13, 2021

It is once again time to bust your Fantasy Football slump with the Slumpbuster Podcast. On today's episode Andrew Hagenbaugh and Julian "Ju-Ju" Martinez review week five and how your favorite players are performing on the season. #FantasyFootball #FantasyFootballAdvice #WaiverWire

Quarterback: Russell Wilson hurt his finger in the Thursday Night game against the Rams. Wilson is reportedly scheduled to miss 6-8 weeks following surgery. How does this affect weapons like Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf? Who are some streaming options at quarterback that will elevate your team in week 6? Joe Burrow against Detroit? Taylor Heinicke against Kansas City? or Trevor Lawrence facing the Dolphins in London?

Running Backs: Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a knee injury Sunday night. Is Darrell Williams a capable enough backfield to fill in the CEH's role? Myles Gaskin had a breakout performance in week five but is he trustworthy moving forward? Alvin Kamara, Cordarelle Patterson and Elijah Mitchell are on bye week, who can you get to replace their production?

Wide Receiver: Kadarius Toney had a breakout performance in the Giants week five game against Dallas. Assuming the 2021 first round pick is not facing disciplinary action what is the rookies upside? Similar to Gaskin, Robert Woods has been a struggling fantasy star in 2021. This week Woods had an impressive 15 target outing but does this mean Woods is back to being an automatic start? Is it finally time to cut bait on a guy like Allen Robinson? Who is the best Cardinals wide receiver?

Enjoy the show!
