This week on the Off The Charts Podcast: More discussion of Arizona and their ideal opposites, the Chicago Bears. How rare is it to rank in the top five in all three phases of DVOA, like Arizona does? How far can the Chicago Bears fire sale go, and where are the best landing places for Matt Forte and Alshon Jeffery? Plus: Why Derek Carr is so much better this year, and why the future is bright on both sides of the ball for Oakland despite a No. 28 rank in defensive DVOA so far.

Anita Marks and Aaron Schatz recap Week 3 and preview Week 4. They also discuss which players you should cut loose, which ones you should buy low on, and who you should sell high on.

This week on the Off The Charts podcast: What do we really know about the Arizona Cardinals, and how real is their huge Week 2 lead in DVOA?

Plus, lots of NFC South talk about the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers, and answering some questions from Twitter.

In this week's ESPN Fantasy Football Weekly, Anita Marks and I discuss which quarterbacks are best to cover for your injured starters over the next few weeks. The players with the easiest schedules through the end of October may surprise you. Plus, we look at hot receivers and running backs, asking who's for real and who is likely just a flash in the fantasy football pan.

The second weekly edition of our new Off the Charts podcast breaks down the basic ideas behind DVOA and DAVE then dives into what we've learned about the AFC South and AFC East after surprisingly dominant Week 1 wins from Buffalo and Tennessee. Scott Spratt and I also look at the NFC West, with some interesting charting stats on Carlos Hyde and how the 49ers running game succeeds despite facing constantly loaded boxes.

In the second edition of my new fantasy football podcast for ESPN, Anita Marks and I discuss impressive first weeks for a number of tight ends and less impressive first weeks for a number of stud wide receivers, plus what players will benefit from injuries in Dallas, Arizona, and Indianapolis.

In the inaugural episode of the Off the Charts Football Podcast, Scott Spratt of Sports Info Solutions and Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders discuss the updated DVOA projections. Why have the Packers fallen, and which NFC North teams could potentially benefit? Why are the Rams so high? Why are the Dolphins so low? What is going on in the NFC South?

Hey, it's the first edition of ESPN Fantasy Football Weekly featuring yours truly along with Anita Marks.

I made my annual appearance on the "Beating the Book" podcast with Gill Alexander to promote Football Outsiders Almanac 2015 and discuss where our projections differ most from Las Vegas over/unders. Here's your chance to get a sneak peak at the changes in our win projections that will be published when we run updated numbers for the 2015 season next Wednesday. First you can listen to Dr. Bob Stoll talking about the upcoming college season, then my portion starts around 30 minutes in.
