2026 Week 9: Ashton Jeanty Panic and the Ravens Mess (Upper Hand Fantasy Show)
2026/11/05
2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Season Pass: https://upperhandfantasy.com/seasonpass
Week 9 is the halfway point, and Zach and Faraz go through the moves that decide your second half.
The Ravens lost Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in the same game, so what do you do with Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers? Is it time to panic on Ashton Jeanty after Mike Washington took over the Raiders backfield? Plus Bhayshul Tuten, Luther Burden, Cam Ward and the Titans, the Panthers receivers, Justin Jefferson and Jonah Coleman, then your questions to close it out.
Recorded Wednesday morning, before the Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett.
Every take is built on usage, matchups and the numbers, the same process behind our weekly rankings.

2026 Week 7: Josh Jacobs Is Back and Rapid Fire Starts (Upper Hand Fantasy Show)
2026/10/23
2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Season Pass: https://upperhandfantasy.com/seasonpass
Zach Rizzuto is back. In the first episode of the Upper Hand Fantasy Show, Zach and Faraz take the Week 7 questions that never fit in a 90-second reel and actually talk them through.
What do you do with Josh Jacobs now that he is off the commissioner's exempt list? Does A.D. Mitchell's return cap Omar Cooper Jr.? How does the Vikings backfield split with Jordan Mason returning? And is it finally time to bench a receiver we have backed all year? Then a rapid-fire round of start, sit and desperate-start calls to close it out.
Every take is built on usage, matchups and the numbers, the same process behind our weekly rankings.

2026/10/13
2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Season Pass: https://upperhandfantasy.com/seasonpass
It is a rough waiver week, but a few adds really matter. The number one pickup in Week 6 is a rookie receiver who might have just broken out, and you could be using him all season long.
Every pickup in order, with how much FAAB to spend: a running back who took over his backfield, tight ends who keep getting targets, running back depth in case the injuries hit, streaming quarterbacks with two big names on bye, and the names on the wire to pass on.

2026/10/09
2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Season Pass: https://upperhandfantasy.com/seasonpass
Four weeks in, injuries are piling up and plenty of lineups have two or three spots nobody is sure about. This one covers starts, desperate starts for thin benches, sits, and quarterback and tight end streamers.
Every call is built on usage, the coverage each defense runs, and how each player produces against it.
