I got so abounding amazing questions that, well, we had to cut some of them for breadth aback in Anniversary 4. But the cavalcade was able-bodied accustomed and I capital to do article ablaze this anniversary afterwards the accomplished few weeks.

Anyway, actuality are some added of the unedited questions I got aback and my responses.

Eric Karabell (ESPN Senior Writer, Fantasy Hall of Famer): If your adolescent said he or she capital to chase your footsteps into the fantasy activity as biographer and personality, what would you say?

TMR: Abundant question. The boys all brawl fantasy, admitting none assume bedeviled with it the way I was aback I was 14 (and arena in my aboriginal game). Obviously, I would abutment them as abundant as accessible and acquaint them I would advice about I could. But you appetite your kids to be blessed and I accept to accept entering this field, area bodies accept such a able assessment of me (both absolute and negative), would be boxy on anyone with my aftermost name. So I'd acquaint them about that, I'd acquaint them they charge to be great, because there is absolutely a lot added competition, and assay has gotten far added avant-garde than aback I was starting out (and while my name ability get them in the door, if they aren't any acceptable they won't aftermost long). And finally, I would acquaint them to apprehend this cavalcade I wrote a few years ago about how to breach into the industry.

Trey Wingo (NFL Live host, accessible Golic & Wingo radio show, articulation of a apprentice on an ESPN2 appearance I like a lot): What was your admired band that you anytime wrote for any of the shows that you formed on?

A lot of it runs together. The two things I co-wrote all-embracing that I admired the best was a pilot for a reboot of "The Muppet Show" -- I am a Muppet freak. Maybe you've apparent a appearance afresh that seems to be aggressive by it. I wrote about that actuality -- and a cine alleged "Undercover Elvis," which was an activity brawl with the afterward premise: "What if all the crazy batty actuality you apperceive about Elvis absolutely makes faculty already you apprehend he's absolutely the world's greatest abstruse agent?" We wrote it added than 15 years ago, afore agnate account came about and we got accepted acclaim for the calligraphy at the time.

But my admired band that I can bethink is a impaired one. We were in the writer's allowance for "Married ... With Children" and we were accomplishing a arena amid Al and Griff (who formed at the appearance abundance with him). It was an insult-off, anniversary of them activity aback and alternating with anniversary other, anniversary insult added abandoned than the last. And we couldn't get out of it, because the curve were so acceptable it led to this point area you couldn't go accomplished and we couldn't aloof end it. We were so stumped, abnormally aback there are alone so abounding blame you can use. We charge accept been on that antic for an hour, the accomplished allowance casting altered blame to end this scene. Eventually, I pitched, afterwards Griff and Al bear a cord of amazing blame aback and forth, this happens:

Griff (stumped): Oh yeah? Able-bodied ... your mama.

Al: My wife!

So, so impaired and yet, cracks me up to this day. Brought the abode bottomward on appearance night, too.

The Fantasy Appearance with Matthew Berry affectedness at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN2 every weekday. We will, however, be on ESPN on Mondays during the season. There are additionally backward night re-airs (check your listings and set those DVRs) and replays are consistently accessible on WatchESPN by beat on the NFL tab.

Tedy Bruschi (ESPN NFL Analyst, legend): In all the fantasy leagues you've been a allotment of, what achievement gave you the best feeling?

TMR: There were some "expert" leagues while I was aggravating to authorize myself and there accept been some nice big-money wins afore I got to ESPN (I don't absolutely brawl for money these days), including one that helped me buy my aboriginal wife an assurance ring, but apparently the best activity was acceptable the "ESPN War Room" alliance that we brawl actuality internally. Abounding of the faces you watch every day (Trey, Adam Schefter, Chris Mortensen, Acreage Yates, Stephania Bell and so on), forth with NFL producers and above NFL players. It's a 16-team alliance and about anybody in the alliance talks to players and coaches every day as allotment of their job. So it's cool competitive, it's 16 teams and I'm aloof the guy with some banal stats. Because I'm the fantasy guy, I'm consistently the big ambition in every alliance I brawl in, so to win that league, adjoin super-smart bodies who are great, plugged-in players that I accept so abundant account for? That was awesome.

Wendi Nix (NFL Live host): What would do for a active if you weren't a fantasy analyst?

TMR: Well, I was a biographer in a antecedent activity and I enjoyed aspects of that, but if it all went abroad today I would apparently be an entrepreneur. I adulation the claiming of architecture something. I had a bang architecture my old Accomplished Mr. Roto armpit and I do it a bit on the ancillary now with the Fantasy Activity website and app. I absolutely adore the challenges of that, so I'd apparently do that. Also, weird, but I accept this abstraction of one day autograph a Broadway musical. Aloof a awe-inspiring affair I'm array of absorbed by, admitting the actuality I don't address music. It would be a aberration on the musical, of course, because my apperception is active weird, but yeah, that would be fun to try one day. Basically, I adore actuality artistic and analytic problems.

Kevin Neghandhi (SportsCenter anchor): What was your best acceptable sleeper aces of all time? (The one that you took a big action on and it angry out to be right.)

TMR: Boxy one. Lots arise to mind, including two contempo ones that I'm decidedly addicted of. I was all-in on Kareem Hunt this year, alike afore Spencer Ware's injury, and aftermost year I was hyping Terrelle Pryor in Cleveland (a QB-turned-WR? For the Browns?) and bodies anticipation I was nuts, but he anguish up as a top-20 WR. But I've fabricated a bulk calls, acceptable and bad. So if I accept to aces one, apparently my admired would be Anniversary 5 of 2009. It is Sunday morning, we are on Fantasy Football Now and we get chat that Cowboys WR Roy Williams was a abruptness inactive. And I said bodies bare to aces up and alpha a adolescent wideout they'd never heard of called Miles Austin. Accomplished kid, all he bare was a adventitious and today, adjoin Kansas City, was his chance. All morning long, I'm out on a limb for him and this is adequately aboriginal in my ESPN career, so I am still aggravating to authorize credibility. That day, Austin goes for 10 receptions, 250 yards and two touchdowns. Giddy up.

Dianna Russini (NFL reporter): Accept you anytime had an NFL amateur accord you a adamantine time about your "predictions"?

TMR: Not that much, actually. Maybe it's because I'm not about that abounding players or maybe they aloof don't affliction (or understand) fantasy in a way to get upset. I've absolutely gotten added acknowledgment from players who weren't able-bodied accepted on the civic date and I would acknowledgment them or accord them some pub. I can acquaint you that at altered ESPN parties, both Steven Jackson (when he was with the Rams) and Matthew Stafford (early in his career) both accept accustomed me acquiescent applesauce assorted times over the years about comments I fabricated about them aboriginal in their careers. Both are abundant guys to accommodated in person.

By fantasy players, for fantasy players. As a allowance or aloof for yourself, accessory up and appearance your pride about the bold we all love. -- TMR

Michael Smith (The Six): What's your admired affair to do with your kids?

TMR: Abundant question. I adulation accomplishing annihilation with them ... and it's tough, because I accept five. The 19-year-old is in academy now, and now that's he's an adult, my wife and I absolutely adulation activity to banquet with him and his longtime girlfriend. It's nice to accept added of a accustomed chat rather than parent-to-kid blazon talk. The 17-year-old brand a lot of the aforementioned shows my wife and I do, so we generally watch "Big Brother" (during the summer -- Paul got jobbed!) together. The three of us now accept addition brawl appearance we watch and adulation together, admitting I am not activity to say which one, because we are two episodes abaft and I don't appetite you guys abasement anything. Any time I can booty the 13-year-old fishing or to a bold is great. He's an ardent fisherman and sports freak, so whether it's acrimonious out a fishing rod or allurement (I apperceive nothing, he teaches me) or aloof seeing a game, that's consistently fun. And with my accompanying daughters, who aloof angry 6, well, anything. They are still aflame aback I arise home, you know? Blessed to accept me advance them on a swing. Anything. Seeing the apple through their eyes is consistently magical.

Michele Steele (ESPN reporter): I got my 23andMe after-effects aback recently. Do I accept the anchor of an aristocratic ability amateur yes or no?

TMR: Obviously.

Michele: I accept a abiogenetic beef agreement accepted in ELITE POWER ATHLETES. I aloof appetite anybody to know.

TMR: This fabricated me laugh. I adulation Michele Steele. I adulation all my friends, actually. Acknowledge you to all who participated! And I still had some larboard over, so who knows ... there may be a Allotment III at some point!

Let's get to it. As always, acknowledge you to Jacob Nitzberg of ESPN Stats & Information, and "Thirsty" Kyle Soppe of ESPN Fantasy for their help. My account admonition that this cavalcade is accounting in the average of the week, generally afore all the abrasion account and added mitigating factors are in, so please, consistently analysis my rankings on Sunday morning, as those are my absolute answers about who I would alpha over whom. This cavalcade is geared adjoin PPR leagues (ESPN's absence format) and is about players I accept will beat or abatement abbreviate of account expectations, whatever those may be. Actuality we go:

Cam Newton, Panthers: In the actual baby sample admeasurement of Cam Newton afterwards a 2017 account appointment issue, he's aristocratic that weekend. Maybe he's added motivated, maybe he's aloof a absolutely acceptable quarterback or maybe, aloof maybe, it's one bold we are cherry-picking. Real talk, however, is I like Cam this anniversary adjoin a Bucs band that allows 20 credibility per bold to opposing QBs. They've accustomed top-four fantasy QB finishes to Eli Manning, Case Keenum and Carson Palmer this season, and allotment of their affair is accepting to the QB. The Bucs are asleep aftermost in the NFL in burden percentage, a cardinal that is absurd to get bigger afterwards adverse the adaptable Newton. Not for nothing, but Cam is commutual 66.5 percent of his passes this division aback not beneath pressure. He's advancing off back-to-back amateur with 50-plus hasty yards, which makes him an accessible top-six brawl for me this week.

Others accepting votes: You already were starting Carson Wentz in season-long leagues, but adjoin a 49ers aggregation that has accustomed up the second-most yards per attack the accomplished bristles weeks, he's account advantageous for in DFS, too. ... Jameis Winston is averaging added than 344 casual yards per bold over his accomplished four abounding games, and he should accept addition nice bold adjoin a Panthers band that is blitzing at the second-highest amount in the league. Aback the alpha of aftermost season, Winston leads the NFL in touchdown passes adjoin the blitz. ... Tyrod Taylor absolutely does not accept the best accomplished accepting band around, but that should be OK adjoin a Raiders band that is the alone aggregation in the NFL afterwards an interception on defense, that has accustomed 10 casual TDs and a 68.9 percent achievement rate, fourth accomplished in the league. ... Those activity alive this anniversary should accede Andy Dalton, who has assorted touchdown passes in three of four amateur beneath Bill Lazor and gets a disturbing Indy aggregation that is acceptance the second-most casual yards a bold and sixth-most credibility to opposing quarterbacks during the aforementioned time anatomy (since Anniversary 3). ... If you're still analytic afterwards Dalton, Case Keenum gets Cleveland, potentially Stefon Diggs aback and the adventitious to affect London. You could do worse and apparently have.

It's adamantine to abhorrence anyone this anniversary with so abounding guys banged up and six teams on a bye, but I will say, I am beneath enthused about ...

Matt Ryan, Falcons: Black is apparently the kindest affair I could say about Ryan's fantasy division so far, abnormally aback he was drafted fourth amid quarterbacks. Unfortunately, I don't adulation his affairs at a big bold on Sunday. The bold is on the road, area Ryan has commonly played worse and while Josh McCown has been hasty everyone, you'll never assumption who abroad is not about as abhorrent as you think. Did you assumption the Jets' defense? You looked ahead, didn't you? It's the Jets' aegis that has the third-most interceptions this division and is acceptance opponents to complete passes at the ninth-lowest amount in the NFL. Ryan has bristles (of six) amateur this division afterwards assorted touchdown passes, so it's adamantine to accomplish abundant action for him here. He's alone a midtier QB2, alike in a boxy bye week.

Behind the Name: Meaning, origin and history of the name Matthias | mathias name meaning

Others accepting votes: Ben Roethlisberger absolutely looked bigger aftermost anniversary than he has, but he's not out of the dupe yet. The Steelers hit the alley to face the Lions (#RoadBen alert!), a aggregation that has played appealing able-bodied at home this year (other than accepting lit up by Cam Newton). The Lions are in the top 10 in agreement of fantasy credibility accustomed to opposing quarterbacks and they've had two weeks to adapt for this game. Big Ben is alone a QB2 until we see it with added consistency. ... Alike in a atrocious week, I feel you'll accept bigger alive options than Jacoby Brissett, who goes on the alley to face a Bengals band that is accepting burden on opposing QBs at the second-highest rate. Abaft a all-a-quiver abhorrent line, that's, what's the byword ... not ideal.

Jay Ajayi, Dolphins: The consistently alarming Thursday night guy, but I am putting him actuality because I am the alone one of our rankers with Ajayi in the top bristles this week. So, by Friday morning I accept a adventitious to be added amiss than others. During the accomplished three weeks, Ajayi is angry with Melvin Gordon for the second-most touches in the alliance (behind Le'Veon Bell) and that aggregate should abide adjoin a Ravens aegis that has accustomed a RB to ability double-digit fantasy credibility in anniversary of the accomplished six games, and has accustomed a 100-yard rusher in three of the accomplished four games.

Others accepting votes: You had me at San Francisco. I apprehend the Eagles to be up big in this bold and active in the additional bisected adjoin a Niners band that has accustomed a active aback to ability double-digit fantasy credibility in all seven amateur this season. In fact, the 10 absolute RBs to account double-digit fantasy credibility vs. San Francisco is the best in the alliance this season. So I apprehend both Wendell Smallwood -- the 49ers accept accustomed up the best receptions, accepting yards and accepting touchdowns to opposing active backs this year, too -- and LeGarrette Blount (I anticipate he scores) to be top-20 plays this week. ... Speaking of bad defenses, the Colts accept accustomed up the best hasty touchdowns in the alliance this season, so, you know, Joe Mixon, if anytime there were a anniversary ... Bold breeze should assignment in Mixon's favor actuality as well. ... With the casual bold for Baltimore abutting to absent and the Dolphins' band arena able-bodied and accepting pressure, apprehend alike added quick dump-offs for Javorius Allen, who now has 31 catches in the accomplished six weeks. The alone active backs with added during that stretch: Christian McCaffrey and James White. ... It's consistently a little alarming to assurance a Patriots active back, but with 25 touches during the accomplished two weeks, I'll cycle the dice with Dion Lewis as a angle brawl adjoin a Chargers aggregation acceptance 4.9 yards per backpack this season, additional best in the NFL.

Doug Martin, Buccaneers: Aloof like quarterbacks (or any position for that matter), it's adamantine to absolutely "hate" any active aback antagonism this week. It's actual animal out there, so this anniversary especially, anyone with a pulse, you know? But I accept Martin aloof alfresco of my top 20 for the aforementioned acumen I like Jameis Winston this week. I accept Tampa throws here, not runs, as the best hasty yards by a amateur vs. Carolina this division is 67 (LeGarrette Blount in Anniversary 6). The Panthers accept accustomed the 10th-fewest yards per blitz to opposing RBs this division (3.6) and the second-fewest yards afore acquaintance per backpack to opposing RBs (1.32). Obviously there's consistently a adventitious he scores, but Martin is alone a angle for me this week.

Others accepting votes: The best hasty yards by any amateur in a bold adjoin Cleveland this division is 66 (Javorius Allen in Anniversary 2) and the Browns accept accustomed alone two hasty touchdowns to active backs this division and none aback Anniversary 3, so I'm not awash on Latavius Murray's affairs at a echo achievement this Sunday. Remember, Murray was averaging aloof 2.37 yards per backpack above-mentioned to aftermost week. ... Alike in a bye-week situation, I can't see application any Seattle active aback until we get some assurance of success, so I'm aggravating to attending abroad if I accept Eddie Lacy or Thomas Rawls. ... Afterwards actuality out-snapped aftermost anniversary by Marlon Mack, Frank Gore has accepted bold breeze and a boxy antagonism with Cincy's eighth-ranked run aegis the accomplished four weeks to argue with. ... Man, it is barbarous out there. Sorry I don't accept added names for you, but candidly ... anyone with a beating this week.

Demaryius Thomas, Broncos: I apperceive it's been an active division for Thomas, but I like him absolutely a bit on Monday night. The Chiefs aegis has accustomed a league-high 13 advanced receiver touchdowns this season, including 11 in aloof the accomplished four weeks. With Emmanuel Sanders not arena or bound with injury, I apprehend an alike added ambition allotment for Thomas, and, as Mike Clay credibility out in his accomplished WR/CB antagonism column, Thomas should run about bisected his routes adjoin Terrance Mitchell, at atomic based on Thomas' 2017 usage. Well, as Mike credibility out, players who accept lined up adjoin Mitchell accept been targeted 69 times (second most), racked up 613 accepting yards (most), denticulate bristles touchdowns (second most) and accept 127 fantasy credibility (most).

Others accepting votes: It's been an inconsistent year for Alshon Jeffery as well, abnormally because how able-bodied Wentz and the Eagles' breach is playing. But Jeffery is account the amount in daily, as able-bodied adjoin a Niners band that has accustomed up a accepting account to a advanced receiver in six of seven amateur this division and has accustomed four receivers to ability 100 yards. I'd say on Sunday, Jeffery has a acceptable attempt at authoritative it five. ... Speaking of acceptable matchups, the Patriots accept accustomed a touchdown to an opposing bound end in bristles of seven amateur this season. With his snaps continuing to increase, I like the Chargers' Hunter Henry this anniversary as a top-10 play. ... Minnesota's Kyle Rudolph is the latest champ of "who gets to brawl bound end adjoin the Browns."... Carolina's Devin Funchess has cooled off a bit, but with at atomic eight targets in bristles beeline amateur in a antagonism you apperceive I like Cam Newton in, I'm aback on Funchess. ... So far, Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky hasn't befuddled that much, but adjoin the Saints he's apparently gonna accept to. Enter TE Zach Miller, who has accustomed 12 of 42 targeted passes from Trubisky (28.6 percent), and aback lining up in the aperture this season, Miller has accustomed 22 out of 54 targets. Baby sample admeasurement and all, but that's still a 40.7 percent ambition allotment adjoin a Saints aggregation that allows the third-most yards and touchdowns to the aperture this season. Miller is durably on the TE2 alarm this week. ... Assuming he plays, JuJu Smith-Schuster will see an added ambition and breeze allotment with Martavis Bryant not accepted to brawl for Pittsburgh, and with CB Darius Slay accepting his easily abounding with Antonio Brown, JuJu should see some favorable coverage.

For the aftermost time, additionally abbreviate absence actuality with six teams off this anniversary and, of the teams that are playing, abounding accept bad quarterbacks, but:

Will Fuller V, Texans: Fuller has been baking aback authoritative his acknowledgment to the field, but the scoring amount is unsustainable, because the abridgement of targets he gets. Because he's accepted to brawl a lot of his snaps adjoin Richard Sherman on Sunday, it doesn't arise acceptable Fuller gets into the end area adjoin a Seahawks aggregation that has accustomed aloof four advanced receiver array in its accomplished nine games, dating aback to aftermost year (ding!). In the accomplished four weeks, Seattle is the No. 1 scoring aegis in the NFL, authoritative Fuller alone a WR4 for me this week.

Others accepting votes: As you can tell, I'm bottomward on the Colts this week, acceptation it should be addition continued Sunday for T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief, as the Bengals, amid abounding added absorbing stats, acquiesce the everyman all-embracing achievement allotment to advanced receivers this season. ... The Bucs acquiesce the seventh-fewest receptions per bold to opposing bound ends this season. In fact, alone two bound ends accept added than two receptions in a bold adjoin them this season. The matchup, forth with his contempo quiet production, makes Ed Dickson a boxy brawl as annihilation added than a touchdown-dependent TE2. ... One of the Redskins' pass-catchers will accept a acceptable game. I aloof don't apperceive who it will be, as Kirk Cousins spreads the brawl around. So added than Jordan Reed, it's adamantine to assurance Terrelle Pryor Sr. or Jamison Crowder. I do like Josh Doctson, but until we see it, he's adamantine to assurance blindly. ... What can I say? Actual austere week.

Cincinnati Bengals (vs. IND, 43 percent available); Atlanta Falcons (at NYJ, 75 percent available); New Orleans Saints (vs. CHI, 52 percent available).
