A serious QB problem + People's Panic Meter + Waiver Wire pickups for Week 8

We have entered the midseason point of the fantasy football season and for some of you it is definitely time to panic. It's yet another Tuesday edition of the 'People's Panic Meter' on the pod with Andy Behrens and Matt Harmon. The two react to your entries and provide context, clarity and potential players it's time to hit the panic button on.

But before diving into the Panic Meter, Matt and Andy dive deep into a trend that could define the 2023 NFL season: the lack of elite production from the QB position. The two debate if we have a shortage of surefire QBs in the NFL this season and why the young generation of supposed top QBs have not taken the leap this season.

The two then end the show by providing the top five waiver wire pickups for Week 8.
