Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Welcome in.
Chapter 2: What are the latest NFL news and injury updates for Week 16?
It's football time!
Gotta get a little raspy. Thursday, December 18th, week 16 of the Fantasy Football World semifinal week.
Semifinal start today.
Unless you're in a stupid week 18 playoff league. But we'll still be here for you.
Chapter 3: Who are the top QB starts of the week for fantasy football?
Tell us how you really feel about Week 18 leagues. They're garbage albatrosses that need to be cut by platforms and not even allowed to exist.
Oh, my goodness. Strong feelings from Jason Moore, freshly trimmed beard.
Got a little cut.
Oh, you almost showed your hair.
Chapter 4: Which RBs should you start in your fantasy lineup this week?
I mean, show what?
You're like, I got a haircut. Take a look. You almost showed his hair.
Take a look at my haircut.
Chapter 5: What wide receivers are must-starts in Week 16?
Cut all five of them. Well, welcome in one and all. We're here. We've got news for you.
Chapter 6: Which tight ends are worth starting this week?
We've got our starts of the week. We're jumping into the matchups. We've got football tonight.
Chapter 7: What is the fantasy forecast for the Eagles vs. Commanders matchup?
It's go time. We had waivers run yesterday. We have Mike and Jason facing off in our League of Record. The stress, is it beginning?
Chapter 8: How should you approach the Packers vs. Bears game for fantasy?
It definitely began yesterday. Right now I feel okay. Right now is like the lull. We don't have anybody in the Thursday night matchup, either one of us. So it's like we get a reprieve for a few days. And then as soon as Saturday happens, where we are having our company Christmas party at your house, Andy, and the Bears-Packers game will be on and help determine who moves on to the championship.
Oh, the palms will be moist. They will be flowing.
Knees weak? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, let's jump right in. We got news to talk about.
News and notes from around the league. Presented by Progressive Insurance.
Devontae Adams officially doubtful. He's not going to play. Good. He's not going to play. He should not. He should not play. It does make me very like the people asking about Stafford. We talked about it yesterday. Like it's it would be an extremely nerve wracking start. Like I would be actively trying not to start Matthew Stafford in Seattle. One of the toughest matchups. Your touchdown master.
We got wins. We got wins tonight. So a little bit rain, but rain doesn't really affect a lot of it. Wind. A lot of it wind. So we'll have to monitor up. We'll tweet something out before the game because wind is one of those things where you really need close to kickoff time. But there were some reports that were like 20-mile sustained, 40-mile-an-hour gusts.
Well, they got two running backs that are great. They lost the guy who's leading the league in touchdown receptions. Devontae Adams is that dude. Matthew Stafford, let's look at the career of Matthew Stafford. It is outlier touchdown season, a bunch of years, outlier touchdown season.
If you took Calvin away from him during that 40-touchdown year, you're thinking a little bit differently about it. It's not that he can't perform. It's that Seattle's a great defense. They're a great defense. He already would have been a questionable start in Seattle with Devontae Adams.
They held Phillip Rivers to one touchdown.
