As always, we will give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance because with all the injuries here at this

late stage of the season, you've got injury issues. We're here to help you, and we will also have the answer to three tough questions. Some of them forward looking as we head into the off season.

Let's let's get those numbers skyrocketing ease. It's not too much trouble will break down every game Fantasy Football Weekly style with letter grades on every player, and we begin Brian in Annapolis

Colts taking on the New York Giants. For the Colts, they come hobbling in at the end of a brutal season and now take on a Giant's team that's motivated to try to salvage its playoff aspirations. Any colts that you're willing to start here a couple, but most colts should be put out to pasture or set to the glue factory. By the long face, I get that that's a cult joke. Uh, not a long face for Zack Moss art face. Hey, I'm giving him a c I've stuck with Zack Moss was our boy charge for you

gave up on him last week, so you can't. I can't come to this Donkey show, and I don't want to be at this Donkey show, Zack Moss, just to see. The Giants are allowing the third most rushing arts per game to opposing running backs nine team. That is a lot, and it looks like we'll also be handling the bulk of the Colts carries for the remainder of this dreadful season for them. Um Dion Jackson kind of put himself in the unfortunately not the boys house, but the doghouse

last week, and I don't know why. So it's the Zach Moss show, so he just to see for him a temporary expectations, of course, and just to see for Michael Pittman. If cornerback Doory Jackson sits for the Giants, and if he does, it will be his sixth straight game. I'm benching Pittman if Jackson sits. If Jackson plays, excuse me. But if Jackson sits, it looks like it's going that way. I will give Pittman the seed despite Nick Foles at quarter quarterback where the Colts, who, by the way, is

on the bench. That should be no shocker as his Alec Pierce looked awful. Paris Campbell, Yeah, give Sam Ellinger another shot. We know what Nick Foles is and he's I mean, and we know Matt Ryan's retiring one week from today. I would rather like start the statue of Nick Foles outside of the Eagle Will Stadium than the actual Nick Foles. But uh and Gelanni Woods. Lastly, for the Colts, he's on the bench, emerging as the team's top tight end. Hopefully next year he gets treated as such.

But Kylan grantson moay Cox still stealing snaps and targets, so that's a mess. Woods is on the bench. Over to the giant side, Sae Kwon Barkley definitely not on the bench. Over their last four games, the Colts have allowed one hundred and seventy four combo yards and ten total touchdowns opposing running backs. Should be a smash spot for Sae Kwon. He gets an a who hasn't missed a game this year, by the way, nor has Christian McCaffrey. Knocks on where they don't get hurt like, these guys

are gonna miss a collective ten games this year. They're so injury prune. So much for that a for Barkley, and I'm gonna give the throw a couple of sea darts at Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodges. I like to call those harpoons where where's where are they? Where those harpoons hitting Matt with one for me? Thank you? Uh

see for both of those guys. Over their last three games, the Colt steps surrendered six wide receiver touchdowns and three different receipt receivers have topped one yards during that same span. So Slayton and Hodges, if you're desperate, they get to see Daniel Bellinger was close to giving him to see the tight end of course for the Giants, but he is on the bench. But Daniel Jones is not give him a see. I mean, the Colts are beyond cooked.

So unfortunately for Jones, it doesn't feel like it has the same shootout potential as the Vikings game did last week. But Jones always a threat on the ground. He's fifth in rushing yards and fourth in rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks. The Colts haven't faced many mobile quarterbacks with Jalen Hurts, Taylor heind He and Trevor Lawrence totaled four rushing touchdowns and they're collective three games. So I think Jones gets one through the air and hopefully gets one on the

ground as well. He see one that makes him that makes him startable. I didn't know there was a Niit false statue. Yeah, they did it. It was the the Philly Special like when when Uh, No, it was. It's like Doug Peterson like telling Nick Foles round the Philly Special and they made a statue of that fall. It's Nick Foles and Doug Peterson talking, telling each other's secrets.

That's so weird. It's a lesson here is do not get so caught up in the excitement of your championship that you put down a statue you can't really ever take down. Well, if the Vikings managed to win, one statue is going to go up all over the states everywhere. There's gonna be four statues in my driveway. I'm pretty sure New Orleans takes on the Philadelphia matt for the New Orleans defense is coming here on nicely. The offense, though,

remains pretty inconsistent here. Is there anybody you like against a very tough Philadelphia defense. I don't like a lot. We'll start with Alvin Kamara, who missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a non injury related personal thing. Then he completely cleared his Instagram page of all Saints stuff, and head coach Dennis Allen said, I'll let Alvin explain himself. He didn't explain himself, propracticed and full on Friday. All this adds up to offseason stuff, but he's probably going

this week. Uh. He's seen at least twenty rushing attempts in each of the last two weeks. He's facing a Philly defense that's kind of middle in the pack and every running back metrics, so that adds up to a B grade. If he's not active for some crazy reason, his backup is David Johnson. Yes, that David Johnson. Uh, and he's pretty much the only other healthy running back on that roster. So if Camara was inactive, David Johnson would get a C grade here. Yeah, the the catches Jordan.

When Jordan Davis is in the game, the Philadelphia run defense is good. And now he's back and healthy, So I'm I remained very skeptical and I think at this point album Camara has earned all the skepticism absolutely. Crystal Lava has been limited this week with a hamstring injury after missing last week. I don't think I'd start a half healthy Olave in a tough matchup against Philly. The Eagles have allowed the fourth fewest yards to wide receivers

this year. Rashid Shahid was the only Saints wide receiver to catch a pass last week, which means all the passing game is really on the bench. That includes taste him Hill and Andy Dalton. And why do I lump them together? Yeah? Why do you lump them together? Dalton was the only quarterback to play last week, but was on the field for the snaps. That's really weird. Brian correctly predicted a something once thought unpredictable thing that Taysom

Hill would have a good game. Yeah, he's reverse Russian Roulette most weeks. Yeah, last week. Problem with playing any of these guys, though, Guard Andrew's Pete and tackle Ryan Ramcheck both look like they may miss this game too. On the Eagle side, Jalen Hurts limited and practice Thursday got first team reps ahead of Gardner Minshew then was

downgraded to doubtful on Friday. But believe it or not, this is probably actually a good thing if you want to start an Eagle's quarterback, because I think there was a very good chance that if Hurts was active, he'd be the first half, they wouldn't run him, and Gardner Minshew would be in the second half, so we're probably seeing Minshew the whole game. I'll give Minshew a B grade here. Uh, downgraded a little bit because left tackle

Lane Johnson out for the remainder of the regular season. Still, last week, Minshew managed three fifty five and two scores, plus a rushing touchdown against a much better Cowboys defense. If Hurts as a surprise active, I don't think we can trust him for more than a few series. Miles Sanders gets an A. Saints are allowing a hundred and thirty two combo yards to the position that almost all goes to Sanders, A J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. I'm going to give both of them A grades here. Uh,

it doesn't even matter if it's Hurts or Minshew. Both the seat, targets and yards each have topped a hundred yards in three of the last four games. That includes last week with Minshew and the Saints are middle of the road against the wide receiver position and probably without Marshawn Lattimore this week, who's been limited all week with an abdomen injury. Last guy Dallas Goddard. He saw three targets last week, caught all three of them for sixty seven yards in his return. He was on the field

for of the snaps. He's totally fine from a health standpoint. Problem is the Saints are the best tight end defense in the league. They've only allowed thirty one yards per game to the position and two total tight end touchdowns on the season. So it's just a c for Dallas Goddard, all right, You know those all through much of the get Dallas Goddard starts. Earlier in this season, DeVonta Smith was very, very inconsistent, but last week it was all

DeVonta Smith. So we'll see all that plays out and give Ken Gardner Minshew feed three different players or not. The final matchup of this segment, Washington takes on Cleveland, will start on the Cleveland side, where Nick Chubb gets his lowest ranking of the year. In the four Deshaun Watson games, no Cleveland runner has scored a touchdown and none of top one hundred yards, and the Commanders are

a brutal matchup, allowing the fifth fewest rushing yards. Only Derrick Henry's topped eighties seven rushing yards against Washington all year long, and he got the ball twenty eight times in that game. That's how Derrick Henry top to eighties seven rushing yards. I can only give you a C grade on Nick Chubb. Marie Coop bur is healthy enough to go here, and he has languished badly with Deshaun

Watson as well. Cooper's matchup his sensational If Benjamin st Juice, starting cornerback for Washington, misses this game, because that would set him up against rookie Christian Holmes on the right side, who has given a perfect passer rating through three career games. But if st Juice goes, you may want to consider benching Amari Cooper outright. This is an away game and

something that Brian picked up on around mid season. Cooper averaging just three catches for forty seven yards in road games, and he has scored in just one of seven road games this year, So a tricky spot for Marie Cooper C grade. If Benjamin st just goes and bench grade. If he doesn't all the non Cooper parts of the passing game, we're all dead. Because Deshaun Watson has murdered his receivers just two passing touchdowns in four games, which

is awful. He has failed to top one hundred sixty one passing yards in three of his four start Kareem Hunts on the bench. He's been totally ineffective this year. And David and Joco, the only other Cleveland player you might think about playing, has also struggled under Watson, even with decent volume. The Commanders were just thrashed by George Kittle for a hundred and twenty yards and two scores. By Prior to that, they've only given up three tight

end touchdowns all season. And I just don't I don't trust the Shawn Watson to write the ship here. Hopefully you don't have to rely on David and Joke. I'm giving him a bench grade. Let's go to the Washington side. I'm very enthusiastic about Brian Robinson in this matchup. I thought you're gonna say about Carson Wentz, but I am kind of excited about Carson Wentz and you know what, let's start with Carson Wentz. I am excited because here's

the thing. We don't really care about the turnovers. Maybe it's minus two points in your league, don't care. Wentz gives you upside passing, upside point upside that Heineke never did. And I like that part of it. You'll recall Wentz played five full games to start the season. Three of them were monster games over three hundred yards and multiple touchdowns. His two bad games were against awesome pass rush defenses, the Eagles and the Cowboys. Cleveland is nothing like that.

The Cleveland secondary looks a camp paper, but for most of the season they've played bad quarterbacks. In an arctic game last week, this is your championship underdog dart throw player is Carson Wentz. I mean, if you're looking at yourself, if you're looking at the projections and you're down by twenty, and you look at Carson Wentz, half his games with three hundred yards and multiple touchdowns, this is the guy try.

You could try Carson Wentzon. And if you're in a desperation need at quarter Yeah, he doesn't even have a statue outside of the Eagles. It's a great point they never gave him. We've got a handful of desperation quarterbacks coming up in this show too. We'll talk more about those guys as we go on and people need quarterback helping. I think the number is around twelve starting quarterbacks not going this week, it's ridiculous or previously starting. Okay, so

let's talk about into his receivers. If I like Wentz and by the way, be great on Wentz, uh, then I gotta have some reasonable expectations for his receivers. Let's start with Teary McLaurin, who has been super consistent no matter the quarterback, going all the way back to wins his start at the beginning of the year. Cornerbacks denzil Ward and Martin Emerson will have a negative impact, probably

over the last five weeks. They've been very good, combining for four receptions in forty nine yards per game allowed. That's combined. Those are the outside cornerbacks that will be trying to guard Terry McLaurin, but they have given up some touchdowns. Um Also concerned is John Dotson eating into his target share. John Dotson, by the way, see grad and McLaren ce grade on Dotson as well. Who was scored in three straight games and his volume exploding on

this one. He also is running on the outside He's got that's the same Ward Emerson combo of cornerbacks against him. It's a roughly neutral matchup, um, but still startable and pinch you could try him and again the upside Carson Wentz brings helps Hot Dotson as well. A C grade for him. Um, Curtis Samuel I've vacillated on, but ultimately I've left him on the bench incredibly low volume for

two months. Some signs of sparks of life lately, including a touchdown reception from Carson Wentz at the end of last week's game and his Wentz games at the start of the season. We're promising he averaged sixty six yards per game in weeks one through five. But what got me ultimately on the bench grade for Curtis Samuel runs from the slot almost entirely. Cleveland is allowed the second fewest Fantasy points to slot receivers. So Curtis Samuel just

a volatile dart throw player, and that is it. Let's go to the final guy to mention here, Brian Robinson. I was gonna start with him because I'm very excited about him here now, no back top sixty rushing yards in the six game Wentz six games. Wentz was under center to start the season, but Robinson only played two of those games, and he scored in one of them.

In the last seven games, the Browns have allowed eleven running backs of at least fifty five yards and where a touchdown, and they ranked seven and rushing yards and rushing touchdowns allowed to running backs. And Antonio Gibson isn't going. I've got a strong B grade on by Brian Robinson. Almost gave him an A grade, but couldn't quite get there. B grade Brian Robinson. When we come back, nine players upon whom you can take a chance. It's our final take a chance on me of the entire NFL season,

Stay tuned, chance, take a chance on me. Nine players not normally a new starting line enough. These are all guys that could potentially power you to the bacon inside of the hardware. We're gonna help you bring it home. We begin at the quarterback position. Matt Harrison. I'm uncomfortable with the bacon inside the hardware. Do you want the hardware inside the bacon? I mean, how does that work. Can't we just like line them up side by side.

Let's just keep him separate. We can bring them both home. You can wrap hallapenos and have bacon wrapped palapenos with the cream cheese inside. But that's not hardware. Hardware. I mean you could wrap a hammer. I don't know. Um. Teddy Bridgewater looks set to start for Miami two US in the concussion protocol for the second time this year, which we all know means that he's had at least

his third concussion now. And by the way, those three fourth quarter picks against Green Bay last week, that would really explain how bad those were. It looked like a guy who couldn't see straight. So if we get Bridgewater, I think we see an accurate dincin dunk style, not so dissimilar to to uh last time we saw Teddy, he threw for three twenty nine and two scores against

the Vikings. Now, the pat are a little bit better against the past than the Vikings are, but they've been pretty weak against the past as of recent In the last five weeks, no team has allowed more passing scores than the New England Patriots eleven, and they've allowed the fifth most passing yards in that time, and he's got maybe the two fastest wide receivers in the NFL in Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle. Teddy doesn't have to be special, just get the ball in the hands of his playmakers. Brian,

you'll take a chance at me, quarterback. I'm going with slamming Sammy Donald at Tampa Bay sounds so good about I'll talk about this game a little. It's Sam Donald. But hey, Donald one touchdown at least one touchdown each of his four starts since taking his job back. He was basically given to anyone that owned a playbook, and

he was the last guy standing, I think. But Donald has added two rushing scores on the ground as well during those last four games, and in the one game and one of the games he didn't score on the ground, he ran for thirty yards, so he's basically giving you two touchdowns a game. The Bucks blanked Trace McSorley last week, but that was to be expected. In their two games prior, Joe Burrow through for four scores. Brock Purty at two passing touchdowns a game before that, the Bucks could be

without two starting corners, Carlton Davis and Jamal Dean. Two starting safety's Antoine Winfield and Mike Edwards fight Avea could miss this game. Carl nass I, their best linebacker, arguably the best linebacker, is doubtful to play. So I'm going with Sam Donald, who's he's looking dull? Right? And uh, it looked pretty good handing off the ball last week. He did, but again at least one passing touchdown every game. He had a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown last game.

And for what it's worth, I didn't play in the first meeting against Tampa this season, but he last saw them in Week eighteen through for two touchdowns last year. So Sam Donald, why not. Jared Goff had a quiet game against the Bears last time they played, but that was a while back, and since then, he's attempted at least thirty seven passes in every game, and that kind of volume has helped lead to multiple touchdowns in four

of the past five games for Jared Goff. I love his matchup with A'man raw St Brown as the Bears are in a real pitch with Kindall Vildor and Jalen Johnson out, that means they've shifted their slot cornerback Kyler Gordon to play outside the whole secondaries of mess in Chicago, Jared Goff sitting on potentially a very nice game. We hit the over chart mentioned Kindle Vildor twenty two and a half times. Yeah, Yeah, let's go to the running

back position. Matt. I'm bummed that we took off the Bam Bam button because I got Bam Bam Zonovan Night ready to go. Last week, the Jets couldn't get anything going against the Jaguars. Let's blame the up and coming Jags D and Zach Wilson. Michael Carter did out snap Night last week, but had zero touches and the Jets kind of packed it in early Mike White. Starting this week,

the offense has fared much better with White. Zonovan hasn't been held under thirteen PPR points and games where Mike White starts and Night faces a struggling Seattle run D and Seattle gave up a hundred and twenty eight total yards to the Chiefs running backs last week, uh two oh two and one to the Niners the week before, to three and two to the Panthers backs the week before. Kazanovan Night fire him up. I love I love that angle. Brian, you take a chance of me running back. I've got

Houston's Royce Freeman at home against the Jaguars. Dropped the piano. Freeman will be nice. He's looked okay. I mean as far as the Texans running, He's no Damien Pierce. He's the next guy up. It's not Dario Gunbawally or Rex uh t Rex extinct per head whatever the name, nickname I gave him many many years ago. He's like forty years old. But Freeman against the Jaguars. And we'll talk about this game a little more when we break it down.

But there's reason to believe Jacksonville might not go full out on offense and defense. Here. Um So says he's gonna go with the starters. Well, he's gonna start them. Yeah, how long they go, we shall see. We'll talk about that a little more. But Freeman up against likely mainly j v Jacksonville squad. Uh. Freeman looking at at least

fifteen touches in this game. The Jaguars are allowing nearly one thirty combo yards and a touchdown per game to opposing running backs, and as I've alluded, to I suspect they take some precautions on defense as they prepare for King Henry in week eighteen, as they they go for the a f C South Championships. So Royce Freeman roll them out. Tyler al Jere has my highest ranking of his entire career grantities only rookies. I mean, it's really

all year. Um, in the two weeks since Atlanta's by, Algier has turned thirty five carries into two hundred thirteen yards in a score. It's pretty good. Two weeks. Top by the way, five receptions as well. Um, Atlanta get this and I never would have seen this coming here, We're at the end of the year. Atlanta has Pro Football Focus is number one ranked run blocking unit. Who did guest Algier has racked up five straight fifty yard performances, so we and feel confident about him going there. And

for three straight weeks he's playing Arizona. For three straight weeks, Arizona has given up one hundred rushing yards to opposing running backs and they've given up four rushing scores in those three weeks. So, uh, this is a a very It's a great opportunity. By the way, the Atlanta's best run stuffer Zach Allen may not play this game, so another reason to like Tyler Elgier. Matt I believe you have a wide receiver this week, not tight end. No, you

getting wrong everything. John Smith I pivoted to a tight end in the same game. Mike Gasicki on the other side, Yeah, Mike Kasicki, who has done nothing all year except for the game's Teddy Bridgewater has played u In the game against Minnesota, he was targeted a season high seven times, caught six balls for sixty nine yards and two scores. Gasicki's third highest target total came in Week four, when Teddy Bridgewater came in for an injured to Uh and

played most of the game against Cincinnati. The Patriots have actually allowed the fourth most touchdowns to the tight end position. I mean the ghost of Darren Waller and Mitchell Wilcox put up okay fantasy days against the Pats in the last two weeks. It's a sneaky harpoon kind of seed. Dart grade or mikesick O, Your take a chance on me, receiver, Brian, I'm going tight end too, but I got a better one.

Jordan's Jordan Aikins against the Jaguars, it is doubt. Now we all know about the tight end basketball player connections. Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham, Lonnie Woods, My guy, did you know that Jordan Aggins was selected in the third round of the MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers as an outfield. There are things obviously didn't pan out for him too well playing baseball. He he went back to college played college football. But yeah, he was a minor league baseball

player for like three or four years. But anyway, he's a pro football, pro football player now. And uh, going up against the Jaguars, who over their last six games opposing tight ends or averaging six and a half catches and seventy nine yards per game. And they've also sur entered Jacksonville. That is five scores of the tight end position over those last six games. And again I think we see some second or third stringers on defense. So Jordan's Aitkins. If you need it all or nothing, Dart

throw D. J. Chark is your guy. He has scored or topped ninety eight yards and four of the past five games, I would like a score and or ninety eight yards. So this is a chart throw a Chark throw D j you don't have a button for that. I don't know. I'm gonna like, how do I find a shark dark combos. There's a splash right next to the dart. That's a good point. There's your harpoon right there. Yeah, we could do that. You're gonna jump the jump the

chart and a matchup with Chicago very tempting here. I already mentioned the Bears are without starting cornerbacks Jalen Johnson and Kendallville Door and Kyler Gordon's gonna move to the twenty three and a half. Kyler Gordon's moved to the outside last week. It was his first start on the outside. He gave up a one hundred percent completion rate and a touchdown in his coverage. DJ Shark Our guy. Let's

go back to the matchups. Arizona takes on Atlanta. Brian Arizona is going to be helmed by David Blow in this game. And I can't believe there's much to like here. Yeah, David Blow that I'm going to, by the way, coming up lame on Friday. That's not good either. Yeah, there's not a lot to talk about. I was gonna do a Mr Blow, Mr Plow Simpson's joke. But I'm not gonna can you sing that? Can you sing? He's David Blow. That's his name. That name again is David Blow. He's

on the bench. He's on the bench. Though, Uh, sadly my notes are funny. It's like Colt McCoy x, Trace mcslrely crossed out David Blow, Like who else is next? Jake Plumber coming out of retirement, knows David Blow. He's on the bench. Uh as his mark, He's Brown, Greg Dortche. They're on the bench because of Blow. As you mentioned, DeAndre Hopkins added to the injury report on Friday with a knee injury. If he goes, I'll give him a

see he'll he'll still see his volume. Just one catch for four yards last week that was on ten targets. He's still gonna get his like ten targets. So but temper your expectations, you're probably not can get elite level production from Hopkins. And it's not a great matchup either, especially because we'll be facing cornerback A. J. Terrell, who has been outstanding over the last month or so, allowing fewer than two games two catches per game in a

passer rating of sixty five. So, yeah, Hopkins is a dicey, dicey start, but if you must he gets at the sea. James Connor not so dicey. They're gonna give him a B. Atlanta is allowing on thirty five combo yards per game. They've only surrendered one total total touchdown over the last four but during that same four game span, Connor has been a workhorse with touch totals of nine and twenty two. Even in the last season, the Cardinals are using them

as a bell cow. So I like Connor with a B, and I like Tray McBride enough to give him a C. Over the last few games, opposing tight ends have total total at least fifty yards and at least one touchdown against Atlanta on each game. And you think Blow would kind of lean on his tight end here. So if you're super desperate, go with chick Tray mcbrin. If I

was super desperate, I was going with Jordan eight. It's a minute not able if you're not able, If you're not able to uh, because Jordans on all those rosters, right, he used to play baseball, man, that's impressive. It's like Dion Sanders going back to Atlanta there, Uh over to the Atlanta side. Speaking of Tyler Algier, you take a chance on me running back charts a great matchup for him.

For that reason, I'll throw another sea dart at Corderold Patterson only nine touches last week, but he had double digit. But he had double digit touches in his four games prior. And this just feels like a game where the quarterbacks aren't gonna be asked to do much. So I'll give Patterson a sea but it's really kind of like a daily a daily dart, not a seasonal dart. Drake one in just to see for him as well. He's been fed uh some spotted d over his last three games.

That was off shot of my head. Uh. With target totals of twelve, eleven and nine, you just broke charge King Ralph. That's the only reason I know what that is because of King Ralph, classic classic John Goodman moving. By the way, where was I with drank Drake London twelve eleven, nine targets. Yeah, he's got at least six balls in each game with at least seventy yards, but the Cardinals have allowed just to seventy yards receivers over

the last seven games. So for just the Sea for London, Uh, Mike, Mike Coal Brewett on the bench, I miss you, Kyle Pitts Desmont on the bench. And that's it for this awful We've just got a couple of minutes. Let's see if we can quickly get through Miami at New England. Matt Yeah, Teddy Bridgewater was might take a chance on me thrower and Mike Gaski was, might take a chance on me catcher. Uh, Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle getting a

grades and this one. Jalen Waddle, by the way, hit twenty one point six eight miles per hour last week and it's a tight His touchdown catch fastest speed recorded by any player this season and the sixth fastest speed clocked in NFL history. Dang. Yeah, and everybody assumes Tyrek Hills the fastest receiver on the team. He's not, no, but but Hill caught up to him. But he did and then probably didn't block anybody. Yeah, it's just ridiculous. Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson are both on the bench

for me. If you can figure out this South Florida time share, maybe you can help my grandparents get out of their South Florida time share. Eight carries for one last week, nine for the other. It doesn't even matter who got what. Snap counts almost steven and the Patriots defense has allowed four total touchdowns to the running back position all year. Land, sea, air space, underground, mold, people, tunnels, all that. Uh. If you're a Remandre Stevenson team manager,

you're probably not in a championship this week. And I'm raising my hand to uh. Fifteen touches for thirty three yards last week, that was a mess. This week, he's been limited in practice with an ankle injury. But the Pats need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. And this matchup is good for Stevenson because he's the

pass catcher. Uh. Stevenson is fourth in the league and running back receptions and the Dolphins have allowed these seventh most receptions and receiving yards to opposing backs and the most receiving touchdowns in the league. Two running backs. Damien Harris is gonna be active. That's the that's the fly

in the oint. And he's totally off the injury report, and I'm a little bit worried, like fresh legs Damien Harris that they to him, So I'm I'm not gonna play Harris, not in a championship camp, but the effect on Stevenson could be significant. Yeah, so I had Stevenson as a B, but it's probably more of a C grade in this one. Mac Jones also gets a C grade. It's a great matchup. Last time Jones faced the bottom five pass defense, he torched the Vikings for three two

and two. Miami's defense bottom five in every category against the past, and I think this is a high scoring game, so Jones is kind of startable. Jacoby Myers and Kendrick Borne both gets C grades as well. It's worth noting that both John hu Smith and Hunter Henry could miss this game with a concussion and a knee injury, respectively, and Tae Kwon Thornton, who was on the field of the Snaps last week, miss time in practice this week

with a knee injury as well. Kendrick Borne targeted nine times last week for six catches a hundred yards in a score, and Myers was back to form as well with six sketches of his own for eighty three yards in to score. Suky score. Yeah, I fail Mary, Yeah, I think, yeah, that was that was a fun score. But they're both Sea grades. If you need some help. When we come back, Denver takes on Kansas City. Obviously

you're starting Patrick Mahomes and you're starting Travis Kelsey. But which other Chiefs do you go with in the championship game? Including Jujuice Smith Schuster? Is this one of his rare games where you want to put him in your lineup? Just Jerick McKinnon, stay hot. Find out when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Pul Archie and Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with you.

Denver takes on Kansas City and against all us, there's a couple of Denver promcos you can think about starting here. No way, I know, let's start with Otavias Murray, who did nothing in the Week four teen matchup with Kansas City. But you get volume with Murray, uh, you don't get a lot else. And this is a matchup with a good run defense. Chiefs a lot of the eighth fewest rushing yards, but they give up the most receptions and

the fourth most receiving yards. So maybe Murray chips in a couple of receptions here, which is usually good for since Melvin Gordon's departures a couple of receptions, I just have the C grade on Murray. You're hoping for a touchdown and that's really a touchdown in like fifty rushing yards and twelve twenty yards through the air. That would be about it for Murray. Uh. Let's talk about Jerry Judy and Cortland Sutton both see by the way, see graad on Murray. See grade on Judy and Sutton as well.

Judy scored three times against Kansas City when they met three weeks ago, and he'll face Lagarious Sneed in the slot. He's allowed the fourth most receptions, eleventh most yards, and fifth most yards after the catch. It's such a powerfully positive matchup for Judy. I'm giving him. I'm giving him a starting grade here. As for Sutton, if you exclude his injury short and Week thirteen game against Baltimore Courtland, Sutton has produced at least five catches and sixty four

yards in four straight games. So he's been active and he's been good, and he's got a favorable matchup against rookie Joshua Williams on the outside. This team is probably gonna have to pass a lot, so Judy and Courtland Sutton c grades now on the Broncos side, or sorry, on the chief side. You may be thinking the Broncos Chiefs just gave up fifty one points to the lowest scoring team in the NFL, and that everybody would be

a plausible starter. But on the balance of the whole season, the Broncos defense has at least been pretty good and their secondary really good. Obviously, you're starting Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey obvious eight grades and they're both my number one ranked players at their position this week. Um no other receivers get a starting grade here, including Juju Smith Schuster. His his past seven games, he's averaged fifty five yards

and he's scored once in seven games for Juju. On the semi bright side, his lowe touchdown in that span did come against the Broncos in Week fourteen, but that's the only receiver score Denver has given up in their last month of games. And I don't think he's gonna do it back to back, and he's gonna get stuck a lot on Patrick Sirtan and that is a bad

matchup against profobul focus. His third highest graded cornerback Jerick McKinnon, one of the great calls in recent recent history of this show, Mattnerson nailing him a month ago, urging people to pick up Jerick McKinnon, who was at that point available in like leagues and all these fantastic Since then, he has scored receiving touchdown in four straight games. He gets a B grade asked for Patcheco. Over his last seven games, Pocheco's averaging ninety one total yards per game,

with at least sixty eight yards in each. The Broncos have been terrible against opposing running backs, which is why I like both McKinnon and Pacheco, allowing one hundred sixty nine total yards and two touchdowns per game to the position over the last three and um McKinnon responsible for a big junk of that damage with his breakout recess receiving game at two score game when these teams met three weeks ago, including that crazy that I don't know

pass from Mahomes that was like, you know, practical behind his head. So there you go, be grades and Cannon and Pocheco. Let's go to our next matchup, which is Carolina taking on Tampa Bay Ran Yeah, for the essentially the NFC South title. These teams first met in Week seven, starting on the Carolina side. I don't give Dante Foreman and Cuba Hubbard both of Sea. So prior to last week we were singing the praises of the Lions run defense, to legit, to quit all that. Ben Foreman goes off

for a hundred sixty five yards and a touchdown. Hubbard adds one five on twelve carries. There. I think they're both over a hundred and half. Yeah, it was like D'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are back here. So now the Bucks don't present the best matchup on paper, but over their last three games, opposing backs of average one forty Comboy yards in total three touchdowns, Foreman had over a hundred forty Comboy yards in the first meeting. I

like him a little more than Hubbard. He seems to get a little a few more touches, But I'll give both the Sea here. If you're here in need of a running back. D J. Moore has become a very strong start since Sam Donald has been back at quarterback. Going to give him a b. He has at least seventy yards and a touchdown reception in three of Donald's four recent starts. I mentioned this earlier. The Bucks could be without starting corners of Jamal Dean and Carlton Davis.

They could be without two starting safeties. Davis Carlton Davis would be a huge loss for Tampa Bay. And I would give d J. Moore and a Actually, if Carlton Davis sits More actually had a good game when these teams first met, when Davis and Dean were healthy. He had seven catches sixty nine yards in a touchdown. That almost feels like a floor for More. Here so a B and again in a of Carlton Davis and mrs this one and Sam Donald lastly for Carolina might take

a chance to the quarterback. Let's go Sammy over to the Tampa Bay side. I got Leonard four Nette and Richard White on the bench for net. It's been playing hurt but still getting more touches than White. That that's not good. UM tackle Tristan Worth's reinjured his ankle last week for the Bucks. Tackle Josh Wells was put on I R. Tampa Bay won't be getting back starting center Ryan Jensen as they hoped they would be for this week,

so that line remains a mess. And over the last six games, the Panthers have allowed just two backs surpassed fifty rushing yards, so both both Bucks backs on the bench. For me, Chris Godwin not on the bench, so he gets a B. Continues to have a safe floor with at least six catches in eight targets and all but two games this year. Saw a season high thirteen targets against Carolina back in Week seven, but only caught seven

for forty three yards. But since then, every non Kendal Hinton receiver to see eight or more targets against Carolina has logged at least sixty yards, so a safe double digit PPR floor for Godwin. UH safe floor has not been anything that you can associate with Mike Evans this season. I can give him a see though only because Carolina corner standout Carolina corner J. C. Horne will miss this game.

Only reason I'm giving Evans the starting grade here. When these teams didn't met in Week seven, Evans did have nine catches for ninety six yards, and that's also the game he dropped that like touchdown um and his downfall kind of started there this season, but uh, it's a better matchup with Horn out, and he had a good game last week, so see for him, kay dot and he is on the bench for me a tight end.

There are better options. We've mentioned several and uh, lastly, Tom Brady, I will throw a Sea Adam just because J. C. Horn is out. Two nine scoreless yards in the first meeting should have been more like three fifty and one with that Evans drop, but that massive ceiling for Brady has vanished. You probably better options out there. Just to see. For the Jets taking on Seattle, Matt he already told us you like and I agree. He's on a ad night,

very nice matchup. The passing games see had also much tougher past defense. They do get Mike White back, What do you make of this one? Kind of? I mean, Mike White's average three seventeen yards per game this year and it starts and finally found an online doctor who cleared him of his rim injury. The Seahawks have allowed multiple touchdown passes to six of the last eight quarterbacks they faced. The only two that didn't hit that Mark

Sam Donald and John Wolford. So Mike White in my opinion gets a B and Garrett Wilson he's back to an A grade with me. With Mike White and even in what seems like a tough for matchup, so Tarik Woolan has been the Seahawks only like super great cover corner. He stays completely on the right side of the field, and even he has allowed five touchdowns in his coverage

over the last eight games. Wilson moves everywhere about equally, so he'll find advantageous matchups against slot corner Kobe Bryant and left corner Michael Jackson, neither of which are as good as the Black Mamba or the King of Pop Jackson. Pro Football focuses number ninety six corner Bryant number one ten makes me feel I got Garrett Wilson in a few leagues. That makes me feel better about him going. Thank you. Kenneth Walker limited and practice Thursday and Friday

with an ankle injury. Didn't practice at all last Uh. He did play last week after not practicing at all, and at twenty eight touches and a hundred and five total yards, He's gonna be fine. I'm gonna give him a solid be against the Jets defense. It's a little bit tougher than average, but Travis e. T N managed a hundred and twelve total yards last week, and the Detroit running backs they had a hundred and thirty nine

combo yards the week four. So I think Walker gets almost all of it because all the other running backs are hurt. Theres Homer, d J. Dallas, it's probably all Walker, uh dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Looks like Locket might go this week after having surgery on his fractured left index finger only eleven days ago. He still has stitches in the finger, but he's trending the right way. In the last month of games, each of them are averaging

about nine targets per game and about six catches. Problem is Sauce Gardner in the Jets secondary have been awesome since week five. Here's the list of wide receivers who have scored. Alan Lazard, Jacoby Myers, Byron Pringle, Justin Jefferson. That's it in eleven games. I think Byron Pringle and Justin Jefferson, whatever they're they're always in the same circles. You know, they're everywhere together, and that spend. No wide

receiver is top two hundred yards. So I'll give Metcalfe, Lockett and Gino Smith just to see in the Geno Smith revenge game. This is his first ever start against the team that drafted him. He has thrown for mult to pull touchdowns in eleven games this year. However, the

Jets haven't allowed multiple passing score since Week three. Uh, last guy, I'll mention we got a ludicrous alert as I'm gonna give give Noah Fant a c. The Jets have allowed the seventh most receptions and yards to the tight end position, and Fant is healthy has scored in two straight So if you're in the tight end waste land, Noah Fant is way better than those dumb tight ends Brian mentioned. I'm just kidding, Brian. I'm sure they're not dumb.

They one played baseball. I understand one did play BABA, which is very very important. Are you crying? I was yawning about boring those tight end recom I just noticed this. Sorry, back to the Panthers match up really quick. J C. Horne their best cornerback Nightline. They elevated Josh Norman from their practice on Caroline him on the practice squad. I

hope he's got a baseball bat with him. They'll remember that baseball bat game against the Giants, Josh Norman and he brought a baseball bat out, Like we need more antics like that that happened. Yeah, everybody's very conservative now. Josh Norman was great in those days. But one more game, Josh, who's your Who's the starting quarterback next week for Tennessee. In our final moments of this hour four hour, number two starts. If you gotta hope they paced Ryan Tannehill

together right now, he's on. It's done, He's done. Yeah, I think it's Dobbs. I think you had to like absolutely wet the bed on Thursday night and he didn't. Right, they let him pass thirty nine times. Malick Willis doesn't get half that. I mean, it's it's gonna be forty carries or Derrick hen Ring in that game though, it's all all something. Maybe I don't Maybe I thought he

looked all right, and that's you know, Malick Willis. You know there's a reason they never let him pass and that they elevated Dobbs here despite fact you only bet on the you went on the Lions like eight days before that. You think Malick Willis ends up going to Jamarca Russell route and becomes a wide receiver somewhere to Marcus Ross, to mars Who's who's the white? Or getting my Raiders quarterback babies meant to be a running back. Maybe that's it. When we come back, three tough questions,

including some forward looking questions for next year. When we return to Fantasy Football Weekly, our number two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul church In, Matt Harrison, and Brian Johnson with you. It's championship week again. This is our final long form, over the air version of Fantasy Football Weekly, but we continue every week on your favorite podcasting platform. Encourage you to subscribe it. This week seventeen chart, but should it

be Championship Week? Great question. Let's find out question number one. With all the turmoil this week, should fantasy championship games be played in weeks sixteen, seventeen or eighteen? We begin with Matt Harrison, Well, not eighteen for sure, because that's just crazy talk. I'm still fine with Week seventeen. With the added seventh playoff team in the NFL, the top teams are usually still vying for the number one seed, like the Eagles are this week, like the Bills and

the Chiefs and the Bengals kind of are this week. Uh. And with the seventh wild card or the third wild card, there's there's just extra spots for everybody, so there's tons

of teams that are still relevant. So I'm fine with either sixteen or seventeen, but i prefer seventeen because we get one extra week of fantasy football, all right, Brian, with all the tumult this week, fantasy championship games, should they be played in weeks sixteen, seventeen or eight team Obviously, this is only the second season we've had this eighteen week season, so it made sense to say, okay, we'll

play fantasy through week seventeens. In the past, we would always say, you know, Week sixteen should be the last week for fantasy football when there's seventeen weeks. But after this year, I'm going for let's go back to sixteen weeks and we'll sit out these last two weeks. When it comes to seasonal formats, we've got our daily fantasy daily drafts gambling in the last two weeks weeks seventeen

and eighteen. There's enough shenanigans going on here in week seventeen, where we're almost throwing out what has happened in these previous sixteen weeks in a lot of leagues, and I know that's gonna happen in fantasy football. It's not the perfect game, but I'm good with sixteen weeks, so I'm gonna that's my answer. I don't like that so many players are hurt at this time of the year, and the DNFL never should have extended the season by a week.

I mean, you know this, everybody, you know, all these quarterbacks all getting hurt. This was a it was a money grabbeded nothing to do with player safety. I don't like that they added the week the extra week, So just editorializing for a minute. Now. Last year, we didn't have any issues a week seventeen. Everybody's playing a week seventeen championship. We didn't have any issues. This year. We have one team, Tennessee that clearly and obviously tanked, although

their team played shockingly well. Um and it was a team that entered the week completely battered by injury. That really and it had to take a confluence of events like the week a team matchup being for all the marbles and it was a short week for them too. That's a good point. Under made the factor that into my head. Um, you know we've got a finite amount of fantasy season, Matt. This is to your point. The NFL is shorter than the NBA, NHL, the MLB season,

and people of fantasy football they want to play. I don't want to. I don't think Derrick Henry Resting is enough of a reason to make fifty million people play a week less of a game they love, at least not yet. But if this, you know, if we see this, if this is more than just a one off, I will reconsider this, and I will also consider a week sixteen seventeen combo do like the two week playoff matchup playoff matchup as a possibility as well. Tough Question number two.

This is our last over the year two hour show for this year. Also, this is the best time to introduce rule changes for next year, when everybody's engaged and they're thinking about the league, When you're trying to get this done like next May, everybody's not really in a fantasy football frame of mind. What are the rule changes every league should consider for next year. We begin with Brian Well, this is kind of in the same vein as your combo your proposal for a combo week seventeen

Week sixteen seventeen Championship. I think when you get to your final four uh in your league, whether you start with four teams in the playoffs or you start it with six, whatever, but when you get down to the final four in those last two weeks, you kind of go and all play method where either you're not head to head it's not too to head to head matchups, but either the top two scoring teams whether they're playing each other or not, to the championship, or you do

accumulative score over those two week periods and then the highest scoring team among the final four wins your championship. Because to be the one seed and get knocked out by a four four seed we had a four better seed. I know that happens, and it sucks. I've been on both ends of that stick. We all have. That happens

all the time. It happens all the time. But it's kind of like the all play scenario when you get down to your final four, whether the top to advance after the first week of the playoffs, where you go the the combined score of all the teams between that two week period and the top scoring time. So that's gonna have to be four teams. It could be any number of teams. You're saying, just advanced the with with four teams it's best. But yeah, I've got one that's

right on that. Just a little tweak, just a little different and charge. Maybe you might feel this in your playoffs. Your number one seed should always get to pick their opponent of the available teams left. And in one league, I got to pick my opponent that that I run chart. You got to pick your opponent. One of my leagues like this too, And I know I lost that I did I pick wrong? Do you pick wrong? But it's kind of a fun. You don't get much of an advantage.

There's no real home field for fantasy teams. I think that you should be able to pick your opponent as the number one seed, and if you have enough players or teams in your league, let's say have an eight team playoff, maybe your two seed gets to get the next pick of the teams. I love the idea of picking your poison and maybe having that come up and bite you in the butt during the fantasy play getting on a knock sam out of the playoffs. Right, didn't.

I didn't choose Sam. He's just too nice of a guys. Right. So here's the Here are the rules every league should should have. First of all, if you have any veto process in your league, that's gotta go. Get rid of that now. Next, if you're not, and these are the rules, these next, these three, I will not play in leagues that don't have these things. Blind bidding for free agents. It's the only way to distribute free agents. If you're not doing it that way, you are doing it wrong.

The last one, the next, well, next one. Super flexing, here's the way to go. I mean, it's just the quarterback position is almost worthless in non super flex leagues. You should be playing super flex. Most people still aren't. This is a mistake. Super Flex, where you can flex a quarterback, very very important, and it brings makes the quarterbacks as valuable as the rest of the positions, and it totally changes the whole way that that system marks.

And if you want to just add super flex to your league, don't exchange your flex position, add a super flex position, just add another position to your lineup. And lastly, if you haven't dabbled with an auction it's the most fair way to distribute players, and you should be using an auction charge. I still think we should do that whiteboard auction that I came up with last year for a playoff league. We gotta do that. We'll talk about that on on one of our podcast episodes that may

be coming up next week. Tough question number three, since once again this is our final over the year two hour show, Who's going to be the first overall pick? Who should be the first overall pick next year? Mat It's incredibly tough for me to get away from Travis Kelsey. Uh. He's proven to be the difference maker in fantasy football. The difference between Kelsey and Hockinson or Kittle, one of which is number two in most formats, is about six

PPR points. That's an extra touchdown per week. Nobody else comes close to that difference. Yes, he's turning thirty four next October, but the Chiefs don't have somebody who's just gonna pop up and take that wide receiver one position like Tyreek Hill had. So it's very likely that Kelsey is Patrick Mahomes top target again next year. Brian who

should be the number one player taken in next year's drafts. Yeah, we've always said we fear the cliff and a lot of instances you'd rather get out of your early with Travis Kelsey, I'm willing to go off again. Like basically, the only player I'll go with them film and Louise with is Travis Kelsey. I will throw this out there. That is my answer as well. But I think next year we see and in one quarterback leagues, we'll see Josh Allen and Jalen Hursts and maybe Patrick Mahomes go

in the first round. We'll see a lot more people reverting to not zero running back but doing the opposite. It's charged finally coming in vogue. It's only taking me fifteen years. I think average a DP will only see Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekela are going in the first rounds as running backs next year. I don't agree with that. Well, if you are people that are doing it wrong so blinded by running backs, they will there. There will be more than two that go in the first round. Those

should be the only two. I should say Barkley borderline only because I couldn't get myself to do. Travis Kelsey, I think should go second. Because of the age, and I just I feel like I feel like the end is the end is Nie, So I'm going Justin Jefferson, I think will end up being the consensus first player off the board. By going wide receiver, you avoid the

pitfalls that come with the running back position. Just asked the of people who took Jonathan Taylor first overall this past year but he was so safe, Or took Christian McCaffrey with the first pick the year before that, or the who put could picked Christian McCaffrey the year before that too, We could keep going by by the way we by the way it was sake Kawa Barkley the

year before that. We could keep doing this. People are so locked into just taking last year's best running back first overall, but everybody's been burned, and I think they're finally gonna go to Justin Jefferson, a player not just on a Hall of Fame trajectory. He's literally on a trajectory to be the best wide receiver in the history of the league. He's never missed a game, and his

quarterback has never missed a game. Fantasy players, I think I want to believe are going to make the right decision with the first pick next August and take Justin Jefferson. Can't blame you. Let's work in one more matchup, Chicago at Detroit. We begin with Justin Fields and a grade. Detroit to surrender the fourth most passing touchdowns in the third most passing yards per game, so Fields should be able to chip in one to two touchdowns with his

arm here. And when these teams first met at week ten, Fields through for two touchdown. He ran for two touchdowns and piled up one d forty seven rushing yards in the game. I was gonna I thought you were gonna say he caught two touchdowns. It's worth noting that Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, and Josh Allen all rushed for at least fifty yards and a touchdown against the Lions this year. So every indication here is monster game coming from Justin Fields.

So what about his receivers. I just said, I think he's gonna throw one or two. So to whom could they go? Let's talk Cole Commet, who finished with seventy four yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting with the Lions Week ten. Commet doesn't have any much competition for targets these days, and the Lions have surrendered to healthy three tight end touchdowns in the last four games.

So I've gotta be grade Cole commet and a C grade on the previously mentioned Byron Pringle, Mooney's out, Claypool's hurt. Pettis is hurt when your chips are down. You turned to Pringle. Oh, yeah, I get it. I Oh, you're salty about his meager box scores, but he never lays down on the job. Pringle led all Chicago receivers and snaps last week, and he's got a tasty matchup against Detroit.

Could you stack him with Justin Fields? DFS players would be wise to consider Pringle in stacks with Justin Bale. There we go. You just let me finish. Oh sorry, no problem. Pringle won't get his feathers ruffled by a Lions defense allowing the second most yards to wide receivers. Including solid games for other inconsistent fantasy scores like Terris Marshall,

Jeff Smith, Elijah Moore, kJ Osborne and Isaiah Mackenzie. If they can get it done against the Lions, why not, Byron Pringle, I thought you were gonna find some other like wide receivers who had chip names like Steve Derito or I don't think there aren't. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they're out there somewhere. Can I give a quick shout out to Minnesota legend um Mitch Hedberg. Remember his joke where he goes uh he initially, I won't do the

voice he's like initially thought. I think pringles initially meant to make tennis balls, but one day when the rubber was supposed to show up, it was a bunch of potatoes. If it will make chips instead, r I p Mitchend. David Montgomery gets a C grade. Khalil Herbert is going to be more involved than he was last week, and that's an issue since Montgomery averages about half of the stats and half the Fantasy points in Herbert games. Prior

to getting destroyed by Carolina's runners last week. The lines have been a great run defense, no back at top to eighty three rushing yards, including David Montgomery, who only got thirty seven yards on nine attempts in the Week ten matchups. So I can only give him a C grade here. And for Herbert, I just not enough usage last week. I think he's more just a spoiler for Montgomery than somebody you're going to start in your championship game. On the Detroit side, Jared Goffins might take a chance

on the quarterback. D J. Charcos may take a chance of me wide receiver. I'm on Ross st. Brown a grade he'll rebound from a couple of middling games. Chicago is just two weeks removed from allowing three hundred seven combined yards to the Eagles receivers, and they're missing their top two cornerbacks. As I mentioned earlier in the show, Undrafted Ricky. Free agent Josh Blackwell has played fifty three NFL snaps of coverage and he's gonna be on amand

ross A. Brown. That is an extremely plus matchup for him. A grade for him, and then a C grade on DeAndre Swift and Jamal Williams. It's a pretty positive matchup against a bad run defense in Chicago. The Bears go up the seventh most rushing yards and the second most rushing touchdowns to running backs. The volume here is always

a problem for these guys. They split the volume over the past three weeks, Swift averaging just nine touches, will Williams averaging thirteen touches and Williams has been bad over the last month, averaging two point two yards per carry. But the matchup is positive, so I'll give you a C grade on DeAndre Swift and Jamal Williams. Let's take a break. When we come back, Jacksonville will take on Houston. The worry here, how along is Jacksonville play their starters?

Doug Peterson says, everybody's playing, but for how long? And Houston hasn't become the easiest matchup in the world either. Brian Johnson will helped figure out what to do with Travis E. T n among others among the Jacksonville Jaguars, maybe even Dan Arnold. Now that's the that's the championship question right there, that's the tight end we were looking for. Stay tuned Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. A big block ole matchups coming your way, beginning with

Jacksonville at Houston. Houston's played inspired ball so so good over the last month. They might find themselves out of the number one slot in the draft. But let's start in the jack Xonville's side. Yeah, for those who don't know, Jacksonville and Tennessee are gonna play in Week eighteen for the a f C South Championship. Now there's a small chance, two percent chance, if Jacksonville wins this game and loses

next week, they'll get a wild card spot. But I don't think that's enough motivation to play your starters the entire game. Doug Peterson, as you said, charge Jacksonville head coach said, the starters will start. I don't know how long they're gonna finish. My gut tells me they played a halftime and that's it, regardless of they're winning, losing, or drawing against the Texans. So I'm proceeding with caution here with the Jacksonville players, starting with Travis e TN

just to see for him. Despite the fact that Texans are allowing on seventy two combo yards and one point five total touchdowns per game to opposing running backs, e t N at a hundred and fourteen combo yards when these teams first met in Week five on just thirteen touches. Sadly, I think that's around his ceiling for touches, and this one as well. I think this is your hunch. This is my hunch. If you think if you think Jaguars

are playing the whole game. If you're playing, Yeah, if you think they's gonna roll run each end to the ground in this game, yeah, he's in eighth grade. Again, I don't think he will. That's your call to make on paper, great great play, but uh, I think they show some caution here with e t N. So I give him just a see here, I do have Christian Kirk and Zay Jones on the bench here. Kirk had had just one catch for eleven scoreless yards in the

first meeting. Say Jones had three catches for twelve scoreless yards. Now baking in the risk that they sit their stars starters in the second half, which a thing happens, It's still an awful matchup. Teams just don't throw on the Texans, who have surrendered the fewest wide receiver touchdowns this season, just five. Why, They've allowed just one score to the position over the last seven games. So I got Kirk

and Jones on the bench. I will give Evan and Gram a c here that Texans are allowing five catches and fifty plus yards per game two tight ends, and Gram had six catches for sixty nine yards in the first meeting. Dan Arnold and Chris Man. Hurts also added three catches for thirty five yards in that game, so tight ends do well here. Again, it's a matter of how much Evan Anger will play in this one. I know I'll be using Dan Arnold in DFS that is

this weekend. What well Yeah, yeah, stoop Connor engine, Michael Hasty. They could, I think hasty still, but they might choose to rest Hasty. Yeah. You know. This is why this is one of the reasons I don't want any more Week seventeen championships. I'm done with that. I want Week sixteen.

It's only taken one year for me or to really anyway. Lastly, for the Jacks, Trevor Lawrence got him on the bench to the Texans are yielding only thirty pass attempts per game, and they're tied with the Jets for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed for very different reasons really, but the thirteen passing touchdowns allowed. Lawrence had two six yards in the

first meeting, but no touchdowns. Again, I think Jacksonville is better served just saving themselves for the Week eighteen game, rather than the two percent chance they win this game and lose next week and get the wild card, which is a dead meats spot anyway, Like anyway, Yeah, Jacksonville, this game is weird anyway. Over the Houston side, Royce Freeman might take a chance to me running back. I

think he's very viable this week. I think Brandon Cooks and Chris Moore are viable as well, taking out last week's game against Zack Wilson in the rain, which I think is fair to do. When it speaks to the Jacksonville defense. The Jaguars have allowed thirteen catches and one sixty yards per game to wide receivers over the last four five total touchdowns to wide to wide receivers during that same four game span, and those numbers are actually

sapped by a game against the Ravens as well. Their wide receivers haven't got a touchdown since like week three. So I like Cooks and more here. I like Jordan Aikins, whose might take a chance of meat receiver. And you would think I would have a starting grade things And he just told me to start three receivers. They all have that potential sea level potential, mind you, but they're not all gonna get there. I just no one's gonna start Davis Mills, but he's another another you know a

daily flyer you could row out there. San Francisco takes on Las Vegas. Matt brock Purty has thrown two touchdowns in four straight games. Are you calling a fifth two touchdown game? Yeah? I'm giving him a B grade and this it sounds like a two touchdown game. He's not gonna wow you with huge yard numbers minimum of one and a max of two thirty four so far, but this is the easiest secondary Purtty has started against so

far this year. The Raiders allowed to fifty five per game through the air, seventh most in the league, and they have a league low four interceptions all season. So I think party can air it out here. Um, George Kittle, I have an A grade on. He scored twice in each of the last two weeks. Worth noting that Deebo Samuel was also out during that time and Deebo is not gonna play this week, and with brock Purty starting in debo out, George Kittle is suddenly the top receiver there.

In those two games, hundred and twenty yards and he's averaging over twenty yards per reception during that time. The Raiders have allowed the eighth most receptions to tight ends this year. Brandon Iu started to see the debo absence uptick last week as well. Seven targets, five catches, eighty one yards. He was on the field for of the snaps over the last two weeks. The Raiders are an average defense against wide receivers, but have a glaring week

spot in a Meek Robinson. Robertson Pro Football Focus is a hundred and twenty four ranked corner. Both Ayuk and Robertson move all over, but it looks like Robertson will match up with a Uk most often, so I'll give Auk a B here, and then there's not really that much of a need to talk Christian McCaffrey. He's an obvious a. I'm not gonna start Jordan Mason in a championship week after he missed last week due to injury. The matchups good, but it seems just too cute for

me to get that one fired up. So I do think they're going to be cautious about how much they used Christian McCaffrey in these final two games against very bad opponents of backup quarterbacks. I agree, but the Vikings are playing at the same time. If the Vikings are staked to a big lead, the Niners could rest to their starters in the second half because they just might need not not naked still catch the Vikings in Week eighteen. I know, but yeah, I don't think the Raiders are

gonna put up any points in this game. By the way, Jared nobody start Nobody pretty much. Jared stid him the other quarterback. He's not a B grade, He's a B H grade. Uh stid him taking over for Car. It looks like Car's time in Vegas is done. Uh stid him gets to face a top five past defense in the league in his first start ever. He has played in eight games, but he's never started a game. Um and no one's starting Jared stid him in the championship.

So how does that affect Davante Adams and Hunter Renfro Quite a bit? Actually, I've downgraded Adams to a C grade and Renfro all the way to the bench. It was it was a good matchup when Car was the quarterback. Minners give up a lot of receptions and yards the wide receiver position. But Stid him and the fact that

we don't really know about how he'll play. Who he'll target makes them if he in a championship week, and if you have Adams, you're not in the championship because he had four and two for fifteen in the last two playoff weeks to get you there. So he's probably not in many championship rosters at track record is horrifying. Yeah, two touchdowns to four interceptions in his career and just

over fifty completions. It's pretty bad. It's extremely bad. He's never been involved in a game in which he has thrown for more than seventy two yards. Yeah, but those have all been backup roles. He's never started a game in his in his four year NFL career, so this is his first. He'll probably eclipse seventy two yards. You call him, I think so, set the biggest line. Uh, and then finally Josh Jacobs. He only gets a C grade here. The Niners are the best run defense in

the league. No running back has hit the sixty rushing yard mark against San Francisco this year, and during their eight game win streak, they've allowed one total touchdown to the running back position with stidhaman why would the why would the Niners respect the pass at all? They could just load the box against Jacobs just to see for him. Alright, final matchup of this segment Vikings and Packers. Justin Jefferson's an obvious a but there are other receivers you can

start as well, including Adam Feeland. You know, not a guy that's posting explosive box scores at this stage of his career. But and the volume hasn't been great unfortunately, theme and Theelands really become touchdown dependent. He has scored in three of the past five games, though, so the touchdowns have been there. Now. J Alexander is not star cornerback Jayre. Alexander is not going to just shadow Justin Jefferson. But I think he's gonna get Jefferson more often than not.

And that puts Theland on a much easier matchup against Russeul Douglas's not easy, but easier. Douglas has a lot of four touchdowns in his last seven games, so there is the hope for a touchdown for Theland and that's why he gets a C grade. T J. Hockenson averaging Now he's up to nine targets per game. Since coming to Minnesota, He's become the second most reliable receiver on the Vikings and probably the second most reliable tight end

in fantasy foot ball. Will t J. Hockenson be among your top five tight ends next season in draft season? Probably yes, I think so. Kirk Cousins coming back, Yeah, I think that's probably where. Where do you think he'll rank him above Andrews, above Pitts, above Kids? Yes? Probably because Kidle gets hurt, so he's probably number two. I don't know. Uh No, I think dallascutably too. We'll see, Okay, um Let's Packers have only allotted one score to tight

ends in the last seven games. That is a worry for Hockinson. Um and their rookie Kay Walker has been actually very good in coverage of late, and that's a bit of a worry here too, But still a solid B grade on t J. Hockenson. And then lastly, I'll mention Dalvin Cook, who I really liken this one, and I know last week I said he should be a focal point for the Vikings against the Giants. Didn't really work out that way, but he really should this time.

Over the last six games, the Packers have given up seven rushing touchdowns and over five yards per carry. The Vikings have been throwing Kirk Cousin's arm out of socket. They should really be trying to establish the run here. I want to see him get twenty carries in this game, and I've got an A grade and a very favorable matchup for Dalvin Cook. All right, let's go to the Green Bay Packers. I'm gonna start with the running game.

A J. Dillon clocks in with a B grade in this one because Aaron Jones just isn't healthy with this ankle, and Dylan's getting most of the work, including five touchdowns in his last four games, and he's getting almost all the goal line work. Jones um. With Jones and the ankle, Dylan's just healthier and safer. Vikings have a good run defense all year, but they have given up almost one rushing touchdown per game, so I think Dylan finds the

end zone here. Aaron Jones just the C grade, even though I love him and I think he's way more talented than A J. Dylon, But the ankle is just a total wild card, and this is a good Vikings run defense. Now. Jones is a very good receiver and the Vikings ranked thirty one in receptions and twenty eight and receiving yards to running backs. So Jones could chip in some help through the air here, and that's why

he stays viable with a C grade. Let's go to the receivers here, the or the passing game, at least starting with Aaron Rodgers. Vikings have allowed three hundred or more passing yards and or multiple touchdowns and eight of their last nine games era Aaron Rodgers has posted three straight multiple touchdown games at home against Minnesota. UM. Rodgers receivers here aren't great, particularly if Christian Watson does not plays,

and he's trending towards not playing. But Daniel Jones just put up three or three or four yards with Richie James, Isaiah Hodgens, and Darius Slayton, So you know, I still think it's a very safe start for Aaron Rodgers. B grade for Aaron Rodgers that gets upgraded to an A grade if Christian Watson is able to go, and if Watson does go, it's a fantastic opportunity. The Vikings allowed the most air yards the second most yards after the catch to wide receivers, and Watson, of course is a

serious deep ball threat. And if Watson goes, I think they let him run the exact same route that they run play of scrimmage of this season when Christian Watson dropped a wide open seventy yard touchdown. I think they give a redemption if Christian Watson goes, and if he plays. He is a B grade in this game. He would have been an A grade if you were fully healthy. What a difference a week makes starting this green Bay game. It's gonna be forty degrees in green Bay. That is

tropical factor on the East Goats like sixty degrees. It's like a fifty degree difference minimum from last week. What a different Allen. Allen Lazard's viable here, particularly with Watson unlikely to play now. He's been almost invisible since what Watson came back. But again, I don't think he's gonna go here. Pre Watson, Lazard was averaging a healthy sixty one yards and almost a touchdown per game. That's gonna

be the case here. He comes in with a B grade against the shaky secondary and then uh last guy that bears mentioning, Romeo. Romeo Dobbs startable if Watson does not go. He said, two decent games since returning from injury, and again every viable receivers started against the Vikings secondary, including Romeo Dubs and this one, Dobbs in this one, and you know, even Randall Cobb if you want to try to play a little revenge against former Packer slot

cornerback Chandon Sullivan. Richie James just worked Sullivan for seventy yards, so you know there's an opportunity for Randall Cobb in a pinch as well with a c. Gray. When we come back our final set of matchups for the whole year, including the epic Monday nighter Buffalo taking on Cincinnati. We'll talk you through that game and more when we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment of the full slate of two hour Fantasy Football weeklies, and we've got three big

games left. It's l A versus l A. Matt. Now, what happens when normally when l A play is either l A team In so far it's all filled with opposing teams, fans, third party team. So what happens when it's Rams Chargers and nobody cares about either team? Yeah, I think it's gonna be an empty stadium. By the way, in Major League Soccer, when the two l A teams play. They call it l traffic. Oh what's the name of

the rivalry there? Uh? This one just you know, an underrated rage against the Machine album The Battle of Los Angeles. Right Uh? Fire up Cam Akers with a solid B grade one eight teen and three on the ground last week against Denver and faces a Chargers run defense that's allowed five point five yards per carry workst in the league and a hundred and twenty four rushing yards to

running backs per game, second worst in the league. I did mention this about a month and a half ago to Stash Acres and Kirrien Williams to see which one emerged just for this matchup right here? Uh, fire up Tyler Higbee with a hig B grade. Uh. Derwin James was concussed and ejected on the same play on Monday night, and it's still in concussion protocol. He might not go,

and Baker's favorite target so far has been Higbee. Scored three times in the last two weeks, including nine catches ninety four yards and two scores last week against the Broncos. I would not go so far as to start Baker Mayfield, though he's got a pair of two hundred thirty yard outings in a one eleven in his three games as a Ram. In fact, the Rams abandoned passing the ball a long time ago. The last Rams quarterback to throw over just two D fifty yards was Matthew Stafford in

Week six against Baker Mayfield and the Panthers. So Baker Mayfield was there to see it. That was fun. The Chargers see the sixth fewest attempts passing attempts against them because they've been so easy to run on. Plus Joey Bosa returning to the field this week to apply some extra pressure on Mayfield over on the other side. Justin air bear he gets an A grade, especially there he is. Uh, it looks like the Rams will be without Aaron Donald

this week. He was, He's doubtful. Uh. Similar good offenses have been able to get it done against the Rams even when they do have Aaron Donald. Gino Smith and Patrick Mahomes each top three twenty yards in just the last month. So I gotta like his wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. They both get B grades. I'm throwing Josh Palmer back to the bench, though Alan should mostly line up in the slot against Kobe Durant. Durant has allowed to touchdown in his coverage and back to

back weeks. Williams likely gets most of the Jalen Ramsey treatment, but Ramsey's not nearly as scary as he used to be. Uh. He allowed five catches for seventy eight yards in his coverage last week against the Broncos wide receivers, and he's allowed seven touchdowns in his coverage this year. Seventy five yards in a coin flips chance that a touchdown sounds

like a B grade. That's fair for Mike Williams. Gerald Everett saw the most snaps last week, but did not see a target, So don't start a Charger's tight end. And finally, Austin Ekeler. He's been nursing a knee injury this week, but I think he's gonna go and I think he'll be fine. I'm still giving him an A grade here. He has as many receptions this year as Nina has red balloons that he has sixteen scores through

fifteen games. Middle of the pack run defense without Aaron Donald. Hey, Aaron Donald starts with two a's, so does Ard Vark, and that's what I'll give Austin Ekeler how many Nina balloons? Noin anoints issue balloons. That's two nines, right. I bet Dieter von Fortson goat would really like that reference. Probably, So uh, let's see next. Hey, that's me Pittsburgh taking

on Baltimore. This is the Sunday night game. Nazi Harris has been very good lately, topping ninety yards and or scoring in the last seven games, but there's a brutal matchup. Since the Rowe Kwan Smith acquisition, Baltimore arguably the least best run defense, allowing just three point one's per carry, with leadbacks averaging just forty four yards, and they've allowed just one rushing touchdown again since Week nine. So it's a terrible matchup for Harris, and he doesn't catch much.

He's averaging just one target over the last month. So I can only give you a C grade on Nasey Harris, even though he comes in hot in this game. The passing game, you've got all the limitations that Kenny Pickett brings, so I can only come up with C grades for George Pickens, Deante Johnson and Pat Friarmouth will zip through these guys quickly. Hopefully you don't need him in a

championship week. Pickens hit Baltimore Secondary for an impressive seventy eight yards in Week fourteen, and he's currently in a six game stretch in which he's top fifty two yards five times and crossed the stripe twice, which is a lot for Pittsburgh's receivers. He's gonna face Marcus Peters if he can go through his calf injury, and he's not playing that well anyway, giving up a career high hundred and sixteen passer rating in his coverage C grade for

George Pickens. Deante Johnson still doesn't scored a touchdown, but he has collected seventy eight yards per game across the last four outings, averaging nine targets in that span. Oh hey, it's my own nine times right there. We missed a few nine times. We're a little off here. I think I'm not tired. It's our last one of the season, that's part of it. Marlon Humphrey is his matchup most

often on the outside. He's a whole held opponents scoreless all seasons, so Deante Johnson is not going to suddenly score in this game. He's allowing also allowing to sixty five yards per game. That's all you're gonna get from Deonta Johnson. See great pat friar Mouth. Since Week twelve, he's averaged the fifth most yards per game among tight ends, but he's only scored twice all season. One of those

scores did come against the Ravens though week fourteen. So and Baltimore is not isn't the toughest match up on paper? Um so just to see great on friar Mouth, maybe get a little something done here, and you wouldn't start Kenny Pickens anyway. And then a couple of guys talking about for Baltimore, but not many. J K. Dobbins gets

a B grade. Steelers defense has surrendered only thirty three rushing yards per game to the Panthers and Raiders backfields over the last two weeks, and those are two teams that can run the ball. Since returning from injury, though Dobbins seeing an edge of snaps over Edwards Gus Edwards, he's averaging thirteen carries for one hundred one rushing yards

per game, good for almost eight yards per carry. Dobbins has over one rushing yards in both career games against the Steelers as well, So we'll put a B grade on JK. Dobbins. C grade on Gus Edwards. Solid showings over the last three weeks, including running for seven yards per carry himself, but Gus hasn't gotten a goal line touch since Dobbins return and the Steelers run defense as good as I mentioned earlier, So just the C grade

on Gus Edwards. And the only part of the passing game that you care about is Mark Andrews, who has now gone eight games without a touchdown and in Tyler Huntley games, Mark Andrews averaging just forty yards per game. It'll be hard for him to break out of his scoreless funk against the Steelers, who have allowed only three touchdowns to tight ends all year. Or uh, Andrews played Pittsburgh in Week fourteen and he caught two catches for seventeen yards. So I've only got the C grade on

a deflating end of season for Mark Andrews. The Monday Night er, Brian is this is the This is an awesome matchup filled with fantasy implications. Buffalo taking on Cincinnati. Yeah, we couldn't asked for a better game to close out a championship weekend. Buffalo highly motivated going for the number one seed. Cincinnati wants to lock up their dead so that they'll be potentially get a number one seed themselves. They're still alive in that regard as well, so they'll

both be going at this one hard. Starting on the Buffalo side, I got Devin Singletary and James Cook on the bench. They're going to be eating into each other's workload in a pretty bad matchup. Over the last five weeks, the Bengals are allowing just on one combo yards to opposing running backs who have total just two touchdowns during that five game span. So I cut Singletary and Cook on the bench. If you're desperate, go ahead and start one.

But I don't see a path to UH success for either Stefan Digso I do see a path to success. Here're gonna give him an A. Despite slumping UH recently in some pretty good matchups, Dick hasn't scored in three straight games when he could end that drought against the Bengals, who have surrendered five wide receiver touchdowns over their last

two games. For that reason, I'll give Gabe Davis a C. Davis has scored in two of his last four and based on the fact the Bengals have allowed five wide receiver touchdowns over the last two games, I'll give Davis better than a coin flips chance here to score. So C for him, uh A C for Dawson Knox as well. Middle of the road matchup for Knox. The Bengals are allowing just over five catches and fifty yards per game

to opposing tight ends. That is good. What is bad as they've only surrendered three touchdowns two tight ends all seasons. Or just a C for Knox. Josh Allen though definitely not a C, definitely not a B. Just gonna give him an A. I don't think there's any quarterback you'd start over Josh Allen this week despite it not being the best matchup. Josh Allen is a easy auto A auto start over to the Bengal side. Joe Mixing not an auto A, but I'll give him an auto B here.

Last week is twenty three touches were the most Mixing has seen since Week nine. But it's a tough matchup. The Bills have allowed the ninth fewest combo yards to opposing running backs, but again, Mixing appears to be back in the bell cow role. Yeah, but he just doesn't look good. I mean the thing with Mixing the eye test, he looks plodding. They're giving him the touches. So I thought it'd be much more of a split since he came back with p Ryan, But they're kind of phasing

p Ryan out. It's kind of like you just want to save one, you know, in emergency break glass, Like, Okay, wonder if they're not thinking about running Mixing into the ground and then cutting him in the off season. I'm with you there, and it's been a long two years from Mixing. You know, the Bengals played extra quarter of the season last year going to the Super Bowl. But yeah, I think they run him into the ground and in this one. So the b for Mixing. I got an

a on Jomar Chase. Not going to bore you with stats proving the chases elite. That is an own fact. All that really matters here is a trade as White shadows Chase or not. White has allowed just one score and owns a fifty two percent catch rate that is elite for a cornerback. In his five games since returning from injury, White did have a bad outing against Miami and Week fifteen when we surrendered sixty seven yards and that touchdown I referenced Uh since his offense arguably more

electric than Miami's. So either way, UH in A for Jamaar Chase. But the less trade Avious White's easy better. The less trade as White he sees, the better. I think White could uh cover t Higgins as well, But I'm gonna give Higgins and A here there's only one White and there's two elite wide receivers. For the Bengals. The Bills have surrendered the tenth most yards per game and fifteen touchdowns to wide receivers. That is the fifth most on the season. I I do expect, like I said, what,

White to cover Higgins at times. But Buffalo's other corner, Dane Jackson, is very beautibul. Jackson has ranked eighties second among corners by Pro Football Focus and has surrendered three touchdowns over his last seven games. So in A for both Higgins and Jamaar Chase. And I will give Tyler Boyd to see even though like Tyler, when I give him a starting grade he has scored, the yard isn't there.

I'm I'll only give him the c because the Bill's slot corner Toron Johnson has allowed the most touchdowns of any slot corner in the league. So in a suspected shootout, I will give Boyd a see here if you're desperate for wide receiver. And lastly, Joe Burrow gonna give him an a. I just love Higgins and Chase too much. I should mention Hayden Hurst expected to make his return to tight end, So no more Mitchell Wilcox sadly, but no Hayden Hurst either. They're both on the bench here,

but Joe Burrow is not. He gets in a even though they have lost right tackle Lyle Collins, that is a huge loss for the Bengals, but they're really only three year four quarterbacks that would start over Joe Burrow this week, and uh odds are you don't have both on roster in one quarterback week. So in a for Joe Burrow, I think the Bengals win this game. What do you think it's gonna be a great game him?

But I think the better lately than the Bills have honestly, So yeah, and I hope so that keeps things a lot more interesting and fresh, doesn't it? Home team? We were talking before about running backs who might go in the first round. I'm gonna just give me a yes. No, I'm gonna give you some names next year. Will this guy go in the first round? Derrick Henry, No, Matt, I think he's a tail into the first round guy to Austin Ekeler, Yes, yes for sure. Christian McCaffrey, Yes,

yes for sure. Nick Chubb No, same avenue as Henry. Late first round guy. I think he's not going to go in the first round, say Kwan Barkley, Yeah, he's the for me, that the only there's three. It's McCaffrey, Ekeler, and maybe Barkeley. That's just seven or eight wide Barkley. I believe Barkley is hitting free agency, didn't pick up his fifth year option. It would be interesting thing to see his landing place. And I think that that depends on a lot, like if he ends up in Kansas

City or something along those lines. Oh my gosh, all of a sudden he's a top three player. Maybe all right, what about the highest scoring fantasy running back this year, Josh Jacobs also had a free agency landing spot means a lot obviously, Yeah, I don't think so. I I just feel like there's a lot of skepticism on how

he could do this again. And we've seen this movie before with um who got ground up in the last year, And yeah, yeah, Jacobs is going to be somewhat protected wherever he lands up and not gonna be like, Okay, go touch the ball. I'm gonna give you one more running back that could possibly go in the first round. Yes or no? On Dalvin Cook, No, I think he's a second round kind of a guy. But I think

one that you didn't mention. What about Miles Sanders. I've got a guy that I've been negative on for forever. Dude has a let even touchdowns this year. He's got more rushing yards than Dalvin Cook on fewer carries. Like he's right there. I think I think everybody's wised up to the rushing quarterback. I think Justin Fields is going to be a first rounder, Jalen Hurts is going to be a first rounder, and Josh Allen is gonna be

Are there gonna be first rounders this next August? And there's least seven wide receivers that can have We talked about it. It's it's it's gonna We're gonna have seventeen guys in the first round sound way, many thanks to my co host Matt Brian Scott Fish who is not here. This is a very difficult show to pull off. You guys have done it for a long time and at a very high level, and I never take it for granted, and I know our listeners do not. Thank you. Thank

you very much. Robbie Rosenhouse, who is our usual producer, Max Fuller filling in today, Thank you Max, but Robbie for all of the all of the help throughout of course of the season. Thank you very much. And a reminder, Fantasy Football Weekly continues every week of the Sea sent
